Chapter 17: General Hanmen
Looking through the history books, there are always different reasons for the demise of each dynasty.
It is often not the common people who can be self-respecting as mercenaries, and finally end the troubled times and achieve hegemony, but always the children of wealthy families, and they must have a voice in the local area.
Only a handful of those who came from the commoners eventually became kings, and most of them were dependent on others in the early stages, and most of the peasant uprisings ended in failure, and it seems that no leader could become the supreme of the world.
And at the beginning of each dynasty there will always be a majestic emperor, and the emperor at the end will always be mediocre, but it is not absolute, occasionally there will be a good emperor who tries to make great efforts, but the reality of powerlessness will always make future generations boast.
Now it seems that such history is about to play out again, and the people who will determine the fate of the empire are thinking about their own affairs.
The general's pavilion, there is a thick pile of bamboo books on the stone table, the general of the Xia Kingdom Bei Mingxuan loved to read history when he was young, and now his life is stable, and he must go to the backyard pavilion to read ancient books when he wakes up every morning.
On the battlefield, he was the brave champion of the three armies, a fierce general who killed people without blinking, and was a hero of the first emperor in the past, and was regarded by the first emperor as a "loyal and courageous" general.
In his mansion, he never wore armor, nor did he like to wear court clothes, but changed into elegant robes, holding bamboo scrolls like a scholar.
When he was a teenager, he also had a lot of women's admiration in Chaoge City because of his beauty, and men were luckier than women in terms of beauty.
Most beautiful women may experience several emotional twists and turns, and there are many people in the world who love beautiful women, but there are not as many dedicated men as women.
Looking back on the past, Bei Mingxuan was silent, and people will always have some secrets when they reach middle age.
The cold winter has passed, the morning breeze of early spring is blowing, and there is still a chill, he picked up the tea that had already been cold and took a sip, and his face could not hide his worry.
A smile appeared on his face at the sound of footsteps, and when his gentle, white hand rested on his shoulder, his scarred and rough hand was raised, and he grabbed the soft and boneless palm, and pulled the hand into his arms as he turned sideways, allowing her to sit on his lap.
"Let go quickly, let the people see the joke! How old are you!" The general's wife is not good-looking, but she is dignified and virtuous, and her long-term rich life makes her temperament outstanding. Although he had given birth to two sons and a daughter for him, she couldn't help but blush because of the general's intimate actions, struggled several times, in vain, and finally snuggled up to her husband's strong chest, feeling his heartbeat and the temperature of his body.
"You've always been so fond of playing tricks on people, and you've always bullied me since you were younger, and this is a joke. The general's wife smiled like a flower, and her tone was dissatisfied, but she was actually very happy.
The general Bei Mingxuan looked at his wife, smiled gently, and said slowly for a long time: "Ah Jing, you can go back to your father's house first in a few days." ”
"What's the matter!" the general's wife lost her smile when she heard this, and she sat up and suddenly realized that her husband was preoccupied. She frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that the Taishi wants to harm you!"
"There are so many people who want to kill me, there is going to be a strong wind in Chaoge City, if you stay in Chaoge City, I will have a lot of concerns, I am afraid that if I take a wrong step, it will be a catastrophe, and now I have to carefully plan for our future, I have never wanted to get involved in the world, but I don't want to become a pawn of others, in the end, I can't even keep the people I love, in short, I'm just trying to survive. Dongtu is much safer than Xichuan and Southern Xinjiang, and your people have been living in Dongtu, only when you are safe, I can rest assured. Xichuan's Wu Weihou died in battle, and there was already a mess there, and the children of the Huang family wanted to avenge themselves in the north, but they also had to be careful of power disputes. There are six Taoist sects in southern Xinjiang, many wealthy families have become the puppets of the true monarch, pity these fools, the avenue is ethereal, so many people want to ask for immortality throughout the ages, but no one can escape a death, if there is a change in the song, southern Xinjiang should be the first place to cause chaos. Only when we have more chivalrous people in the East since ancient times, and the people are also jealous and hateful, it will be the last place to be chaotic, after you go back, you will let the clansmen take precautions, win over people's hearts, carefully accumulate food, treat people well, etc., I think my father-in-law will understand. My background is not good, if I didn't have you to help me back then, I wouldn't have the opportunity to be promoted in the military department, I can bear the world, but I can't bear you, this is my Bei Mingxuan's mind. Bei Mingxuan stared at his wife, he was from a poor family when he was young, if it weren't for the help of his wife's family, he would not have the prominent status he has now.
The general's wife was silent for a long time, and replied: "Then I will go back first, and by the way, let my father send some dead soldiers over, you don't have anything to do, no matter what decision you make, I am already your person, and I will definitely support you, even if it is." ”
The general's wife wanted to speak and stopped, how smart she was, how could she not guess her husband's thoughts, not to mention that she had already heard the rumors in Chaoge City.
The general kissed his wife on the lips, and a long kiss reluctantly parted.
The general's wife turned red, "What are you doing!" A strand of white hair fell down on her forehead, and the general brushed her hair behind her ear, and said with a smile: "Being able to marry you is a blessing that I have cultivated in the third life of Bei Mingxuan, if I want to have an afterlife, I will grow old with you." ”
Ah Jing thought the same. The general's wife replied, then stood up, tidied up some messy clothes, and glared at him angrily, "It's like a child, it's really annoying, I'll go pack up later, since I'm leaving, don't wait for those days, you quickly deal with things, and then come and pick me up, if there is any difficulty, don't carry it alone, my father's Dongjun soldiers and horses can also be killed at any time." ”
Bei Mingxuan replied: "I'll talk about these things later, let's have a few drinks with me, I remember the first time we met when I was a teenager, you dressed as a man, I don't know where you came from, I thought you were a handsome boy, sitting and chatting with friends, saying a lot of things that men like to listen to, you are red-faced and only care about drinking, but you are not good at drinking, and you are drunk after a few drinks." ”
"That's an old thing, and you keep mentioning it. The general's face turned crimson.
When she heard that he was handsome, his martial arts were extraordinary, and he had a small reputation when he first joined the military department, and she always heard her sisters mention it, so she wanted to come and see it, but because she was drunk and said the purpose of her coming to drink, she made her friends laugh, and she met Bei Mingxuan, and then experienced some twists and turns in love.
"Even if I am old, I still have to talk about it, tell it to our son, tell it to our grandson, maybe many years later, when we grow old together and fall into the loess, future generations will compose music and rap our acquaintance, and pass it on as a beautiful talk." Bei Mingxuan smiled gently, his warm smile would never be revealed to the people he loved.
The general's wife went to fetch the wine, but she smiled happily all the way.
