After more than ten years, not only is it not outdated, but it has added a little weight, perhaps it is that An Quan and his wife miss the old and are grateful to Liu Xiu for handing over such a large industry to them, but they have not come to check the accounts for many years, and they have not even asked, so they have kept it as it has been as it is.

When Liu Xiu ascended to the private room on the second floor, he looked at the stone drum texts on the wall where the paper had turned yellow, but the handwriting was still vigorous, and suddenly he had a feeling, as if he had returned to ten years ago, back to the era when he was full of spirit and did not know the height of the sky, and he was a little stupid for a while.

He wanted to touch the paper, the words, and his hand was halfway out, but he stopped. The paper was already yellow and brittle, and he didn't know if it would crack with his slightest touch, just like the people who used to laugh together, disappeared into the long river of time, and could no longer be found.

More than ten years have passed, my hands have become accustomed to holding a knife, but I have almost forgotten how to write, how to draw, those skills of survival are now jerky, and even these stone drum texts are a little difficult to remember. Once it is broken, I can no longer write, and I can no longer find the old days, those people, and those things.

Liu Xiu suddenly felt a kind of sadness welling up in his heart, he silently walked to the side of the couch and sat down, holding his cheek with one hand, quietly looking at his work.

"Ah, who wrote this? It's so pretty! Lu Xiaohuan ran up, and when he saw those words full of ancient meaning, he couldn't help but praise them.

"My daddy." Liu He said proudly, "These are all stone drum texts. It's a very old text, and only my dad knows it. She smiled and pulled Cai Yan's arm again: "However, that was ten years ago, and now, it's up to Sister Zhaoji to take care of it." ”

Cai Yan smiled and stepped forward. Carefully studying the calligraphy, he stretched out his hand and carefully touched it, and his white fingers slowly traced along the strokes. praised softly: "Although I have been chasing for several years, I have learned from asking myself, but I saw it." It's still out of reach. ”

The stairs rattled, the eldest princess and Wang Chu walked up side by side, glanced at it, and saw Liu Xiu sitting on the side like a statue, looking at the words intently, his eyes were focused, but a faint sadness appeared on his face, knowing that he remembered those Fengyue. Thinking of Liu Xiu's brilliance back then, the eldest princess couldn't help but sigh and commanded softly: "Ah He." You all go down and let your daddy be quiet. ”

Liu Xiu noticed that Liu Xiushen was a little abnormal, stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly pulled a few children down. Although Cai Yan was a little reluctant, he also knew that now was not the time to study calligraphy. The nostalgic one glanced at it again, lifted the corner of his skirt, tiptoed, and followed cautiously.

The eldest princess walked up to Liu Xiu, sat down with him, and gently put her hand on his shoulder. His fingers rubbed the smooth brocade clothes, smoothed out the wrinkles on it, and his eyes swept at will, and he suddenly found that Liu Xiu's sideburns actually had a stem of white hair. She was taken aback, and after a closer look, she realized that it was not as simple as a stem at all.

She froze, and a wave of sadness welled up in her heart. She didn't know when Liu Xiu started growing gray hair, and as a wife, she didn't find out about it, which was really a dereliction of duty. She looked at Liu Xiu carefully again, and suddenly found that Liu Xiu's back was actually a little hunched. This discovery shocked the eldest princess, Liu Xiu is only thirty-two years old this year, and he is a martial artist with high martial arts, he can be described as in the prime of life, how can he have white hair and a hunchback?

"Sister?" Wang Chu saw that the eldest princess was different, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing, nothing." The eldest princess wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with one hand, and pointed to Liu Xiu's sideburns with the other to signal Wang Chu to look. Wang Chu glanced at it and immediately understood the reason why the eldest princess was sad, not only was she a little gloomy.

Liu Xiu's mind was all on those calligraphy and paintings, and he didn't notice the sadness of the eldest princess and Wang Chu, he was like a stone statue, motionless.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of footsteps, and I slowly ascended up the stairs. The footsteps were heavy and slow, as if the person was carrying too much weight to walk fast, and it took a great deal of effort to take every step.

The eldest princess turned her gaze away, and when she saw Lu Zhi's thin face exposed, she hurriedly pushed Liu Xiu: "Husband, Mr. is here." ”

Liu Xiu turned his head and saw that it was Lu Zhi who was wearing filial piety clothes, he was stunned for a moment, then straightened his back and stood up. As soon as he stood up, his back immediately straightened, the loneliness just now was swept away, the king's spirit emanated from his gestures, and the entire Tai Chi Daoist Hall seemed to be much brighter and more solemn.

The eldest princess and Wang Chu looked at all this in surprise, and they were a little stunned. Usually together, they didn't feel any majesty in Liu Xiu, they used to be easy-going, often messing with the children, and sometimes making some innocuous jokes with their subordinates. After his father's death, he only became a little more silent and deeper, but he never gave people such a feeling of pressure. As soon as they saw that he was still in a trance, in the blink of an eye, he became imposing, and the change was so fast that they couldn't believe it.

Liu Xiu took two steps, bowed down, and said loudly, "The disciple has seen Mr. ”

Lu Zhi looked at him silently, and only after a long time did he return the salute: "Situ Lu Zhi, meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ”

The eldest princess frowned, and even Wang Chu, who was not very sensitive to political affairs, heard that Lu Zhi's tone was wrong, and the two glanced at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Lu Zhi also returned the salute without humility or arrogance, and ignored the eldest princess's invitation to invite him to sit down. The eldest princess was a little embarrassed, and Liu Xiu waved his hand: "You guys go down first, I'll talk to my husband for a while." ”

The eldest princess and Wang Chu glanced at Liu Xiu worriedly and went downstairs together.

Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to invite: "Sir, if you don't dislike it, just sit down for a while?" ”

Lu Zhi coughed, hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "The Tai Chi Dao Hall is the most comfortable place I have ever lived in, how can I dislike it, it's just that there are more important things now, and I don't have time to relive the enjoyment of the year." ”

Liu Xiu took back his outstretched hand, caged it in his sleeve, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then please ask Lu Gong to speak up in person." ”

Lu Zhi sighed secretly. He didn't want to talk to Liu Xiu about it, but Liu Xiu didn't enter the city, the mansion, or the palace when he arrived in Luoyang, but settled in the Tai Chi Taoist Hall outside the city, which was not in accordance with the rules, and it also made Luoyang City rumors spread and people panicked. As the minister of Gu Ming, as Situ, one of the three dukes, he had to come to negotiate with Liu Xiu. He came on behalf of the Son of Heaven, of course, he couldn't talk to Liu Xiu about the relationship between teachers and students, so he had to repeatedly refuse Liu Xiu's kindness. Liu Xiu now calls him Duke Lu instead of Mr., which means that Liu Xiu has also given up his efforts and wants to do business. Teachers and students, once talked about scriptures and art in this hall, I don't know how many times they talked and laughed, laughed, and how many times, the two of them drank tea and discussed books here side by side, sharing leisure time, who would have thought that one day they would stand in the same place, but stand on different positions.

"Your Royal Highness, according to the imperial court system, when the vassal king goes to Beijing to mourn, he should first settle in the mansion, and then enter the palace to meet the coffin of the queen mother, but there is no reason to stay outside the city." Lu Zhi coughed lightly, trying to make his tone as flat as possible, without too much emotion. "Now His Royal Highness is the head of the world's vassal kings, if you do this today, someone will follow the same example tomorrow, how will it be?"

"Not really, right?" Liu Xiu asked rhetorically: "My father fell off the cliff for no reason not long ago, but I haven't heard of any vassal kings who also fell off the cliff. ”

Lu Zhi was stunned, and was choked by Liu Xiu's words for a while. Liu Xiu's words were not only a little unreasonable, but also full of hatred, he brought up this matter as soon as he opened his mouth, without even covering it up, which surprised Lu Zhi. He originally thought that he was already straight enough to choke when he spoke, but he didn't expect that once Liu Xiu started a fire, he would be able to choke people to death with his words.

"This ...... It was an accident! ”

"Accidents? What did Lu Gong see with his own eyes? Liu Xiu's voice was not loud, but his tone was aggressive. What kind of person is my father, I know very well, he has been hidden in the world for many years without an accident, and he accompanied the Son of Heaven to sacrifice to the mountain once, but there was an accident? ”

Lu Zhi was speechless.

"Okay, even if my father was unexpected, no one else is to blame, then I want to ask Duke Lu, how did the Queen Mother die? Was it also an accident? ”

Lu Zhi frowned, looked at Liu Xiu in front of him in surprise, and suddenly felt a little strange. Is this still the student in his memory, how did he seem to have become another person, the whole person is like a treasure knife out of the sheath, exuding a compelling chill, although the knife is not close to the body, but the killing intent has invaded the skin of the person, making people shudder.

"Your Highness has a heavy army and is stuck outside the city, is he thinking about these problems?" Lu Zhi sank his face, straightened his waist again, and his voice became a little stern.

"No, I'm just here to remember the first emperor." Liu Xiu didn't look at Lu Zhi at all, and walked forward slowly, his voice empty and fluttering, as if it had come from more than ten years ago. "Back then, I met the first emperor here, and I was thinking about what the first emperor would do if he encountered this situation. Will he focus on family affection or the country. Sir, you are one of the four ministers appointed by the first emperor, what do you think the first emperor would do? ”

Lu Zhi was speechless. He regretted it a little, the reason why he came was because he felt that he was sure to persuade Liu Xiu, and he didn't dare to say that he and the Son of Heaven would be able to release their previous suspicions, at least let Liu Xiu follow him into the palace, meet with the Son of Heaven as soon as possible, and sit down to discuss. But now he found that he was really not the material to be a lobbyist, and as soon as Liu Xiu opened his mouth, he didn't know how to deal with it. Liu Xiu's mention of Emperor Xiaoling and the Minister of Gu Ming reminded him of Emperor Xiaoling's ardent hope for him before his death. But today, it is his disciple who wants to decide to the death with the Son of Heaven who he assists.

"I'm sorry for the Emperor." Lu Zhi sighed: "I failed to live up to his hopes and failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a minister. ”
