Chapter 101: Father and Son Talk
Yongle Palace, let Gu Xuan's soul haunt his dreams, and when he was outside, he didn't know how many times he missed and remembered his home.
This is the place where he grew up, he is very familiar with every person, every thing, every flower and tree here, even if his eyes are closed, he knows what is in where, and it is no problem to walk around blindfolded.
Every palace maid and chamberlain who has ever been here, he can name them, and know some of their stories.
Only here is his real home, and it is also the only place in the world that can give him a comfortable and casual feeling, this is the power of home, as long as he returns to the harbor in his heart, anyone will naturally let go of all nervous emotions, all external, all tiredness has been unloaded.
There is also his mother here, for 18 years, the mother and son have relied on each other, giving each other encouragement and hope, this kind of strong family affection, nothing can be separated.
But when he stepped lightly out of the carriage, he suddenly became a little timid, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, covering the blindfold of his left eye, and the whole person was stunned in place, not daring to take another step forward.
No way, no matter who it is, no matter how powerful an official is, how rich a businessman, or how majestic a general, once he gets in front of his mother, he is still a child who can't do anything, he is afraid of his mother's reproach, and he feels even more sorry for his mother's distress.
He misses his mother, but he doesn't want her to see him like this.
In the end, there was still a person who suddenly appeared, breaking his hesitation, it turned out to be Gu Yi, who was dressed in embroidered Nine Dragons and spitting beads, and the style was a weekday casual dress, pacing unhurriedly, and walked out of it.
Gu Xuan's originally misty eyes suddenly cleared, he didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly took two steps, and when he arrived in front of the other party, he flicked his sleeves, bowed down, and read in a proper manner: "The son sees his father!"
Gu Yi stretched out his hand and motioned for the other party to stand up first, and waited until Gu Xuan straightened up, then made a silent gesture on the side of his mouth, lowered his volume, and whispered: "Be quiet, your mother is still in the back room with your aunt, don't disturb them first, you can go with me." ”
Gu Xuan, who was already very hesitant to face his mother, also wanted to have a buffer time, so naturally there was no reason to refuse at the moment, so he nodded, hurriedly stepped to follow, and walked towards the small garden behind Yongle Palace with him.
While walking, he couldn't help but raise his head, and looked at the man in front of him seriously behind his back with some rebelliousness, and felt a lot in his heart, although the two of them were father and son, they were born from him, and they had never had the opportunity to be alone like this, in fact, he didn't have much resentment about this, but he just felt very emotional, this life was born in the emperor's family, born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and while getting something, he naturally had to lose something, which is the balance of heaven.
He just suddenly realized that his father was already old, and he had a lot less of the pride of scolding Fang Yu and riding horses and hunting tigers, and more of the dull twilight as if the sun was about to set the horizon, heartache, but helpless, even if his hair was still meticulously combed, looking very energetic, but because he did not deliberately dye it with dye, the number of silver flowers on his head had exceeded the black, and the two were intertwined, making the whole person's old age visible to the naked eye.
How much is the priceless, hard-to-find miracle medicine, can not make up for a person's mind consumed by long-term fatigue, life and death, are all fixed, no matter how heroic you are, peerless elegance, but also can not compete with the word "time".
Gu Xuan was a little sad, because the other party was his father in the end, and half of the blood on his body came from the other party, and this kind of relationship and bloodline connection was also difficult to erase in any matter, not to mention that the other party was not sorry for his son at all.
Our parents are the wall between us and death, and without this wall, we will face the most realistic fears.
But when he suddenly found out, his father was farther away from him, away from death
When the death was nearer, he couldn't help but start to feel sad, and at this moment, any complaints about the other party had disappeared.
There was a majestic, but soft, voice from the front.
"Xuan'er, you don't have to follow behind like this, you are my son, and standing with me is not a violation of etiquette. ”
Gu Xuan's heart was suddenly shocked again, this "Xuan'er" was too psychedelic and too unfamiliar, but he only hesitated slightly, and then naturally walked to his side.
However, out of respect for his father and His Majesty's dual status, he still chose to be a little behind, and then stood with him under the plum tree that had not yet opened, raised his head, and looked at the moon as big as a disk above his head, but he didn't know if the Guanghan Fairy had also looked at the world like this.
Gu Yi's voice was a little low, and there was even a kind of sadness that was extremely suppressed: "If it was Cang'er, he would definitely not be so polite to me." ”
Gu Xuan didn't know how to answer, didn't know how to comfort him, or whether he needed to comfort him, not to mention, he himself was sad enough, so he had to be silent, and then, both of them fell silent.
In the small garden, there was silence, only a faint breeze blew, and the father and son under the moon were both thinking of that person in their hearts.
Gu Yi sighed imperceptibly, as if he had finally straightened out his mood, blinked his eyes twice, looked at the bright moon above his head, and sighed: "It's been eighteen years, you've grown so big." ”
Then, he turned his head again and asked with a wry smile, "Do you hate me?"
Gu Xuan was suddenly shocked when he looked at him like this, and he was about to say "don't dare" immediately, but after thinking about it, not daring is actually hate, at least, there is also a little bit of complaining in it, so when these words came to his mouth, he immediately changed his words again.
"Why should I hate you? There is a folk saying, 'If you don't have a home, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't raise children, and you don't know how to repay your parents' kindness.' ”
"However, just such a little person, the sons and daughters still can't take into account the feelings of each of them, so that each of them can be satisfied, but the father is not only the father of the son, the father is the father of the world, I am so many people, all of them are the children of the father, whether it is a peddler or a pawn, or a member of the court, they all point to the father and the emperor, and hope that you can favor them more, but no one can make everyone satisfied. ”
"Father, you have paid too much for this 'everyone', so many years, you have made me cool and peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, why should the sons and daughters be harsh on you more, not to mention, the sons think that since they were born in the royal family, they have already got so much out of thin air, and they should naturally sacrifice some, and the sons are your own sons, and they should feel more sorry for their fathers, so the sons would rather wronged themselves than their fathers wronged others, which is precisely because the sons understand the hardships of their fathers. ”
"Hahahaha"
Gu Yi couldn't help laughing, this was the first time he laughed so happily in so many days, but halfway through the laughter, it suddenly stopped abruptly, it turned out that he thought that there were still people in the house, so he quickly stopped talking, not wanting to disturb the people in the inner room, but he still shook his head with a smile and sighed: "Xuan'er, in my life, I don't know how many flattering words I have heard, and I don't know how many people in the world who specialize in shaving and slapping horses, but no matter how much they say, it is not as good as what you just said, which makes me feel happy." ”
Gu Xuan also laughed and said sincerely: "These are the sincere words of Erchen. ”
Many things, I didn't understand before, and I always felt why the other party couldn't do better, but in fact, only when you really came to that day and stood in his original position, you will understand how difficult it is to do things well, and he can't blame his father, because he does understand the other party's suffering.
"Hey, you've really grown up, that's it, such a blink of an eye. Gu Yi said while happily gesturing, "When I just hugged you, you were so old that you couldn't cry, but you had a lot of strength, and you were not small, and you urinated on me, I was also young at that time, I didn't expect that so soon, I would be old." ”
When Gu Xuan heard this, he smiled shyly, and was about to compliment him with "Father is not old", but Gu Yi did not give him this opportunity, but changed the topic suddenly, looked at Gu Xuan's face, and asked with great concern: "Xuan'er, how did you get hurt?"
For children, even if they are just looked at like this, it is a kind of happy torment, everyone hopes that the family cares about themselves, but they don't want them to care too much about themselves, and they don't want them to ask about the suffering and tiredness they have suffered, the reason is because the family loves each other, and they don't want them to worry about the hardships they have passed, and always hope that the other party can be more relaxed.
It's a pity that Gu Xuan, who couldn't avoid this level, could only try to abandon some dangerous plots, and explained: "Erchen had just arrived in Huangsha County at that time, and he was stubborn and didn't want to ask the court for supplies, so he went to Yanzhou without authorization, looking for someone to do business, and wanted to build a batch of weapons to defend the city. ”
What should be said and what should not be said, Gu Xuan knew it in his heart, such as "leaving the fiefdom without permission", if there was no previous foreshadowing, Gu Xuan would never say it, but now that he says it, it shows that the relationship between the two parties is much closer.
"The pain of blindness, still said so unchanged, it is indeed my son, but in the future, you must know how to take advantage of the situation, it is not shameful, as long as your goal is bright, don't stick to the means, when you get to my position, you will naturally understand this truth, many times, many things, will no longer be so important, as long as you can keep your heart. ”
After that, Gu Yi paused, then held Gu Xuan's shoulder with one hand, and asked seriously, "Child, are you tired?"
Gu Xuan lowered his head, and after being silent for a few breaths, he smiled helplessly and said softly: "In this world, who is not tired of living?"
Gu Yi patted Gu Xuan's shoulder and said, "There is no need to say these polite words with my father, my father is still alive, and it is not your turn to bear this burden, this time I will return to Beijing, you can rest for a while." ”
It's not me, it's a father, which is indeed an unfamiliar and extravagant word for the two of them.
Gu Xuan didn't feel that the other party didn't like him at all, so he didn't let him take power, but it was precisely because the other party thought that he should bear the most basic responsibility as a father that he would let him take a break.
"Thank you, Father. ”
Gu Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: " In fact, the nature of your brothers is not bad, although the father is obsessed with state affairs and neglects to accompany you, but the growth of each child's temperament, the father sees it in the eyes, for the father back then, forget it, the things of the year, the father does not want to mention more, but also because of the father's own reasons, the father has always had a selfishness, many years ago, when the father finally got what he dreamed of, he suddenly woke up to what is the most important, home, the father hopes to be the father's own home, is peaceful, although this wish for the father, too greedy, too unrealistic, but the father still hopes, no matter where you go to each other, you must remember the blood we shed, it's the same. ”
Gu Xuan hurriedly bowed down and said, "The teachings of the father and the emperor are remembered by the child!"
It's normal for Gu Yi to have this selfishness, or which parent doesn't have this kind of selfishness, even if their original history of ascendancy was extremely bloody, even if he stepped on the corpses of many brothers and ascended to the throne, but now that he has become a father, he naturally hopes that his children will not follow the old path of their own.
At this moment, people know that family harmony is the most important thing.
