Section 5 Parting of Ways
readx;
Together with Fang Chengsong, the prisoners who were sent to Hanzhong Prison by Qu Bo actually had two big fish, the martial minister Bo Jinchen of the Taiping Holy Kingdom and the great young master Xu Wenzhe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this moment, they are also enjoying the fresh air of freedom in Hanzhong like Fang Chengsong.
Walking through the streets and alleys of Hanzhong City, seeing that the glory of the past has come to naught, the people are still there, and the matter has gone, Bo Jinchen and Xu Wenzhe looked at each other speechless for a while, and a thousand thoughts and helplessness came to their hearts at this moment.
"Bo Xiang, you see how harmonious and peaceful Hanzhong City is under Li Wufeng's rule, along the way, Wen Zheguan Tianshui is also like this, why do we care about the people end up like this, and Li Wufeng, who was born in the aristocracy, blindly expanded with military force everywhere, but can make the country and the people in the territory peaceful? Is this world really theirs forever?" Smacked his lips with some emotion, Xu Wenzhe, who had been in prison for more than half a year, was far from being the high-spirited young master of the past, with a gloomy face, he saw that the land under the rule of the great enemy of the Holy Sect was safe, and he was sad, and this feeling was really a little unpleasant.
"Wen Zhe, this thin face will never be mentioned in the future, the holy kingdom is already the history of the past, although we are not willing to accept it, but we need to have the courage to face the reality, we fail is a failure, there is no need to recall the past. Of course, we can reflect on what we have done in the past and examine ourselves. But what does all this mean to us now? History that has lost its opportunity no longer belongs to us, and perhaps we can only act as spectators of history. A faint melancholy appeared on Bo Jinchen's face.
Xu Wenzhe was speechless, yes, everything has become a thing of the past, history never repeats itself, and the initiative of where the two of them go no longer belongs to themselves, but is in the hands of others, this is fate.
"Wen Zhe, I'm afraid that the people under Li Wufeng have already talked to you, what do you think?" Seeing Xu Wenzhe's confused face, the old man sighed lightly and asked.
"Well, Su Qin and I had a long talk, but he didn't say anything clearly, only said that he hoped that I could see the current situation clearly, and I was not in a hurry, I might as well take a look and listen more, let the facts prove that this Su Qin Tanfeng is very healthy, but he is a character, no wonder Li Wufeng is all over the Western Frontier, and there are indeed some capable people under him, this King of Qin is titled One plus, I am afraid that no one in the Tanghe Empire can compare with him. Xu Wenzhe also sighed.
"Wen Zhe, you underestimate Li Wufeng too much. Li Wufeng is only afraid that he is not just this little King of Qin, right? Western Xinjiang is afraid that it will be difficult to accommodate Li Wufeng, the dragon, this person's ambition is great, and the depth of his scheming is beyond what you and I can imagine. Bo Jinchen's face was cloudy, as if he was pondering something: "Do you know who I'm talking to?"
"Who is it?" Xu Wenzhe was a little puzzled, could this question also be worth such a solemn matter: "Could it be Li Wufeng himself?"
"No, it's Xiao Tang. Bo Jinchen had a strange look on his face.
"Oh, I heard that this person is one of Li Wufeng's two major military and political assistants, and has always been the number one leader in Li Wufeng's administrative system. Xu Wenzhe glanced at the other party, who even changed his tone a little, and replied casually.
"Then Wen Zheke knows where this Xiao Tang came from?" As if he hadn't seen the other party's expression, Bo Jinchen asked from below.
Stunned for a moment, Xu Wenzhe thought for a while before saying: "It seems to be from the Northern Plains, but the specific situation Wenzhe is not very clear." ”
"This Xiao Tang's original name was Talking, he was originally a famous talent in Pinglu Mansion, and he was known as Beiyuan Shuangjun when he was young. Bo Jinchen said lightly.
"Oh, then it's not surprising that he joined Li Wufeng, but why did he change his name and surname?" Xu Wenzhe was a little surprised.
"Wen Zheke still remembers the peasant uprising that took place in the Northern Plains in 691?" Bo Jinchen suddenly changed the subject.
"In 691, oh, I have some impressions that the drought-stricken revolt in the Pinglu and Qinghe areas eventually turned into a large-scale uprising. Xu Wenzhe thought for a moment and said affirmatively.
"Yes, Li Wufeng was still a mid-level officer in the Imperial City Guard at the time, and he also participated in this crackdown. At that time, the Holy King and I were not optimistic about that uprising, but under the instigation of the Kamans, the uprising was still carried out vigorously, but it was suppressed by the imperial army and was quickly put down. Bo Jinchen showed a faint smile on his face at this time, "Wen Zhe, do you know who I saw?"
"Who?" Xu Wenzhe felt a few times in his heart, faintly feeling.
"Hehe, it is this Lord Xiao Tangxiao, he still used his real name to talk and laugh at that time, and he played the role of an important staff member in the rebel army, and most of the suggestions and arrangements of the rebel army came from his hands. Bo Jinchen muttered: "It's just that the uprising was defeated later, and there is no news of him, at that time, Li Wufeng participated in the suppression of this battle, most of the rebel army was slaughtered, I thought he died in the chaos, and it was a pity, but I didn't expect this famous Xiao Tang to be him." ”
"Bo Lao, could it be that you have lost your eyes?" Such a bizarre plot seems to only appear in the drama, although Xu Wenzhe has a lot of respect for Bo Jinchen's words, but he is still a little skeptical.
"Hmph, although there are some changes in the conversation and laughter between Xiao Tang and Dang, the old man believes in his eyes, and there will be no mistake. Bo Jinchen said categorically: "Especially that inner temperament can't be changed." ”
"But even if Xiao Tang is just talking and laughing in the past, what can he do? With Li Wufeng's current power, it can be said that he is covering the sky with one hand, even if Xiao Tang admits it in public, who can touch him at half? Not to mention that most of Li Wufeng's subordinates are rebels and rebels who have defected to the party, and it is not surprising to say this. Xu Wenzhe disagreed.
"Yes, with Li Wufeng's current power, no one dares to have half a word of dissent. However, I think that Li Wufeng was just a small middle-level officer in the city guard army at the beginning, and he had such scheming and courage to take in and hide important rebels without permission, once it was discovered, it would be a crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and it can be seen from this point that Li Wufeng's ambition was only in his early twenties, Wen Zhe, can you and I have such ambition and courage at that age?" As for the later surrender of the rebel and rebellious parties, it is not an exaggeration, after all, Li Wufeng at that time was already in charge of one party, and as long as he reported to the above that the other party had surrendered and recruited peace, it would be no big problem. ”
Xu Wenzhe was silent, as the other party said, an ordinary officer of the city guard dared to take in and hide the traitors, this kind of behavior is undoubtedly a rebellion, for Li Wufeng, who was only in his early twenties at the time, this could not but be said to be a huge gamble, but the other party dared to gamble.
The plainclothes that followed not far behind the two did not cover up the line of hiding, but followed the two not far behind, listening to the two of them wandering around the city without interfering, Bo Xu and the two of them were also happy to be at ease, either entering the teahouse to drink tea and listen to books or walking through the streets and alleys, as if there was endless freshness.
"Old Bo, what are you going to do?" Two days later, Xu Wenzhe finally got a little tired of this kind of talk and asked. The morning mist has not yet dissipated, but Hanzhong City, as the capital of a county, has become lively, with vendors in twos and threes, workers working in groups to work in the factory, farmers selling goods in the city, and old tea customers drinking morning tea, and the streets and alleys are filled with a leisurely atmosphere.
"Wen Zhe, do you think we should accept Li Wufeng's recruitment?" Bo Jinchen didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
The whole body was shocked, Xu Wenzhe raised his head, "Did Elder Bo make a decision?"
"The old man is nearly fifty years old, and he doesn't have much to think about living, Wen Zhe is still young, so he doesn't have to make a choice right away, I believe that with Li Wufeng's mind, even if Wen Zhe chooses to leave, he will not be in trouble. The whereabouts of the Holy King are unknown now, Lan Bailin has taken refuge in Situ Lang, the empire has lost the soil for the survival of the Holy Kingdom, the general trend of the Holy Kingdom has gone, and there is no possibility of a comeback, I think it may be time to make a decision. Bo Jinchen didn't look at Xu Wenzhe, but looked at the distant sky, "Ling Tianfang has already invited me to be his Li Wufeng's military staff officer for Li Wufeng, and I have already accepted the invitation. ”
Xu Wenzhe was like a thunderbolt, he stood on the ground and didn't say anything for a long time, but the uncertain and painful look on his face was overflowing.
"Wen Zhe, there is no feast in the world, Bo Jinchen's original wish was to use the establishment of the Holy Kingdom to return the people of the world to a happy land to live and work in peace and contentment, but it turns out that our set does not work, maybe Wen Zhe wants to say that it is all bad things for Yu Yongzhi and his ilk, but I have also carefully reflected in prison, even if there is no Yu Yongzhi and his ilk, even if it runs according to the track we set at the beginning, I am afraid that the Holy Kingdom will not be able to last for a long time. Because I find that there is too much difference between our purpose and reality, and it is impossible to establish political power by relying on the people at the lowest level under the present circumstances, because power and wealth always need to be in the hands of a part of the people, and it is impossible to distribute it equally to everyone, and the ideal kingdom of heaven in our minds is nothing but an empty dream, which is impossible to realize. Bo Jinchen's words were full of heaviness after all the vicissitudes of life, "Maybe Wen Zhe doesn't understand it now, but I think when Wen Zhe travels a little more to see the situation inside and outside the empire, maybe you will be able to understand what I said." ”
Xu Wenzhe, who had a complicated expression, had already woken up from the shock for a moment: "That Bo Lao, we will #8226;#8226;#8226;#8226;#8226;?"
"Wen Zhe, say goodbye today, if Wen Zhe still has his own career in the future, then we are all masters, and we have nothing to do with each other, whether we are enemies or colleagues, I look forward to the next meeting with Wen Zhe. A happy smile appeared on Bo Jinchen's face.
