Chapter 253: Family Affairs, State Affairs
In July 194, Shi Xin traveled to four years and six months after the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Shi Xin was just fifteen years old.
Ascending to the position of the head of the Holy Sect at the age of fifteen was an unprecedented event that made Shi Xin proud. However, because of the implementation of the beauty plan, the political situation in Chang'an City has become treacherous again, and even the entire Han Dynasty is shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and everyone's eyes are always focused on three people, that is, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, and Diao Chan.
There is only one beautiful Diao Chan, how will she choose?
There is only one god of war, Lu Bu, is he fighting to the end, or is peace precious, and continue to be Dong Zhuo's righteous son?
Taishi Dong Zhuo is the only one, does he want to go his own way to occupy the beauty of the world, or the beauty of adults to redeem the peerless god of war?
What happened five days later, everyone was just guessing, but as the newly appointed Holy Sect leader, Shi Xin was not thinking about these headache political issues at this moment, but his own ...... "family affairs".
He didn't know if this was his family affair, because Shi Wei was his nominal father, who took him from Luoyang to Julu and scattered his family wealth to heal him. And Shi Wei's only biological son, Shi A, also became his sworn brother by mistake. Earlier, he hadn't crossed yet, but he had already begun to be protected by the Shi family and escaped the killing of Li Ru, which is why Shi Xin is today. Even if the Shi Wei family has no blood relationship with Shi Xin, they sacrifice more to him than the real father and son.
In the Holy Sect's secret room, Shi Wei sat tremblingly, a little cramped and uneasy. He looked at Shi Xin with a complicated look, and also looked at Shi A next to Shi Xin from time to time, not quite understanding who this young man with a broken arm was.
Shi Xin and Shi Ah stood side by side, and Shi Xin kept muttering about how to tell Shi Ah that the one in front of him was the father he thought had already died in Jiuquan.
Shi Xin also invited Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai, and Cai Yan in, and of course Wang Yue, Ge Xuan, Ge Hong, Dong Feng, and Lei Gang were invited in. Shi Xin wanted to use this opportunity to reveal the mystery of his origins. The people who are invited in are the ones he thinks are loyal enough to him, and at the same time, they will also be more determined to be loyal to him because of his status as the "Great Prince".
Liu Bei, an "imperial uncle" who doesn't know the truth or falsehood, can also deceive so many resources and opportunities, and the eldest prince is not more genuine than him, and he has much more information? When the Han Dynasty completely collapsed, he raised his arms as the eldest prince, Shi Hou, and the Holy Sect Master, and then raised troops under the pretext of recovering the Han Dynasty.
Shi Xin didn't invite Sangong, Zhang Ning and Pan Feng. He has already recognized that in his current status, the three dukes will only become a huge stumbling block for himself, they are full of thoughts for the sake of the royal family, and now they have the identity of Shi Hou, and they are the eldest prince, and they do not swear to serve the court to the death, these three old men are not against the sky?
Zhang Ning has always been Zhang Jiao's daughter, and she has always been proud of her innocence, who knows if she will tell the Heavenly Master to teach her side one day, or don't have more details first.
As for Pan Feng, the subordinates of the fierce general class are loyal and reliable, but they are easy to be impulsive and open-mouthed, and Shi Xin is ready to tell him later.
Shi Xin seemed a little worried about the scene of the father and son meeting, in fact, it was far from being as difficult as he thought. After observing for a while, Shi Wei finally couldn't help but speak.
"Ah...... A'er, you're A'er!"
Shi Wei has aged a lot in the past four years, his face is deep and longitudinal, his voice is hoarse, and even a little slurred, obviously he rarely communicates with people.
Shi Wei has changed too much over the years, just like a sixty-year-old man, and it is normal for Shi A to not recognize him. But Shi Wei was thinking about Shi Ah all the time, and he didn't say goodbye in Julu, in fact, he came out to find Shi A. Unexpectedly, the providence made people, the person he was looking for turned out to be in Julu, and even had an intersection with Shi Xin, if he kept waiting, maybe he could reunite his father and son in advance, but he was anxious and left Julu.
He was alone, destitute, and did not dare to blatantly look for it, which undoubtedly added to the difficulty, which was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. In order to avenge his family, Shi Ah is even incognito, and the chance of the two meeting is even slimmer.
However, Shi Xin's fame since joining the Heavenly Master Sect has given Shi Wei a trace of comfort, although he has never really regarded Shi Xin as his own son, and is more of the eldest prince of the first emperor, but since he was a child, he has a deep affection, and he must be very happy to hear that he has a future. But Shi Xin's fame made Shi Wei hide himself even more, in case it was found out that Shi Xin was Liu Wei, which was not a good thing, at least not at that time.
A few years later, Shi Wei almost lost the confidence to find Shi A, at this time he heard that Shi Xin was going to become the leader of the Holy Sect, and he was overjoyed, and he only hoped to see this competitive "son" from a distance, which could be regarded as an old man. Shi Wei is self-aware, he is just a low-level worker of the Shi family, he has been sloppy in the past few years, and he can't afford even the "father" of the eldest prince, let alone recognize father and son at the canonization ceremony.
Shi Xin on the canonization hall was full of spirit and majesty, and his subordinates defeated Sima Yi and two strong enemies in a row. Shi Wei felt faced, he shrank behind the crowd, not only how many palms were broken, but how many throats he screamed.
Shi Wei recognized Shi A, Shi A under his continuous calls, a feeling of blood thicker than water surged, Shi Wei's voice and smile hidden in his mind flashed out, his throat seemed to be blocked by a hard object, his legs knelt down, and the only remaining one arm took Shi Wei's old hands, "Father...... Father...... I...... Woo woo!" Crying bitterly for a while, how can you still speak?
"Okay, good ......" Shi Wei is also full of tears, Shi A is his only concern in the world, and now he has finally found it, and his life has finally become less gloomy.
After a long time, the two fathers and sons were separated.
Shi Wei looked at his son's empty sleeves, his heart was like a knife, and he said angrily: "A'er, who cut off your arm?"
"We're looking for Xin...... No, we let the Sect Master take us to him to settle scores. ”
Shi A shook his head and smiled bitterly, not answering his father's question first, but said to Shi Xin: "Thinking back to the first time we met in Julu, I thought that "Shi Xin" was just the same name and surname, because in my mind, you have already passed away with your parents. But I didn't expect that there was a providence in the dark, and our pair of sworn brothers turned out to be brothers. He frowned, "Brother, why didn't you say your father's name earlier? ”
When Shi Xin first entered the Lingbao Sect, everyone knew that his father Shi Wei would not be saved when he saw death, this was a thorn buried deep in his heart, and everyone was afraid of turning his thorn out, so over time, this became one of the few topics that the Lingbao Sect was forbidden to mention, even if Ge Hong was so open-mouthed, he knew how to avoid it.
Under multiple coincidences, Shi Ah missed the opportunity to recognize his father.
Shi Wei smiled bitterly: "Xin'er, you should still blame me for not saving me when I die, right? Alas! Actually, there are many twists and turns and bizarre things, but I have to keep my mouth shut. I'll tell you all when you're older. ”
Unexpectedly, Shi Xin shook his head and looked at Shi Wei with a deep gaze, "Father, from today onwards, you don't have to keep that secret anymore." I'm Liu Bian, and I've known about it for a long time. ”
As soon as these words came out, Shi Wei was so frightened that he sat down on the chair, and Shi A was also scared. How did the brother who had just recognized each other become Liu Wei again? Did he know that Liu Wei was not the elder brother of the current emperor, the eldest prince who was killed by Zhang Rang, who was also his enemy?
The people standing behind him, who was not surprised? Scheming, who had experienced many accidents, like Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Zhao Yun, Ge Xuange, Hong Dong Feng and others, frowned, peeked at Cai Yan, and saw that her expression was calm, obviously knowing about this, so he believed that Shi Xin did not fake. Straight-hearted, like Lei Gang, Wang Yue, and Zhou Tai, these people have long believed it, and they looked at each other and thought that Shi Xin had such a noble identity.
Shi Xin sighed, and in front of Shi Wei and Shi A, he told the secret that Shi Wei had also experienced together. The more Shi Wei listened, the paler his face became, and finally, he closed his eyes, apparently not wanting to recall the nightmare again.
Shi A's face changed greatly, "Oh Oooo" took three steps back, his chest rose and fell violently, he looked at Shi Wei for a while, and looked at Shi Xin for a while, there was a chill on his face, and he asked sharply.
"My mother and my brother died because of you?"
Shi Xin gritted his teeth and nodded: "You can also say the same! The whole thing started because of me, and I have a responsibility that I can't shirk." The reason why I told the truth is not to distinguish for myself, but to hope that you will no longer treat Zhang Rang as an enemy and kill your mother and brother with your own hands, it is Li Ru. ”
Shi Xin was still young at the time, everything was according to the arrangement, and judging from his behavior of flying to save his father at that time, he also took on the responsibility of being a son.
"Being a father is also one of the culprits, if it weren't for the sake of serving the historian and the royal family, I wouldn't let my own son replace the eldest prince. In fact, your mother and I also have selfish intentions, in case the first prince successfully ascends the throne in the future, our historian will be a great hero, and in the future, you two brothers will no longer have to live a poor life, and soar to the sky......"
In fact, things can't be blamed on the current Shi Xin, this is an intricate and tangled result of multiple coincidences. With Shi Wei's help, Shi A, who already understood the matter, let go of his obsession with Shi Xin, transferred all his anger to Li Ru, gritted his teeth and said: "Li Ru, hehe, it's Li Ru again! You not only let people cut off my left arm, but also the murderer of my mother and brother, I will make you pay for it with blood!"
Shi Wei and Shi Xin glanced at each other, and finally understood how Shi A's broken arm was caused.
It turned out that at that time, Li Ru felt that killing Shi Ziyi's family was not enough insurance, so he gathered a large number of people in black afterwards, and took advantage of the night to search for children surnamed Shi from house to house, especially the kind of boys who were not their own sons. Pretend to be Zhang Rang's remnants and kill them all!
Shi A was found to be eligible, the foster farmer couple was killed, just when he was cut off his arm and was about to be killed, Wang Yue happened to pass by and came to the rescue, and at the same time drove away the gang of men in black, while Wang Yue took Shi A as an apprentice and changed his name to Wang Ke. They listened to the rumors in Luoyang City, regarded Zhang Rang as Shi A's enemy, and kept looking for Zhang Rang's whereabouts.
Shi Ah still remembers that the man in black who cut off his hand was tall, with a pair of eagle eyes, and there happened to be a black mole in the middle of the bridge of his nose.
