Chapter 21: Chang'an Night

The endless blue sky, far away, deep. From ancient times to the present, after thousands of years, who can see through? Who can tell?

If there is a person on the earth, there is a star in the sky. So, which star is your own? If the astrological destiny represents the way of heaven, the astrological destiny is destined for everything in the world. So, is the destiny of heaven in this world in Wei or Han?

Tian Yu sat on a wicker chair in the courtyard with a calculation chip, looking up at the sky. Like a dream, like waking up.

It has been more than a year since he was captured, and for more than a year, Hedong has returned to Ji Han, northern Xinjiang has returned to Ji Han, and even the capital Luoyang has been taken by Ji Han. Could it be that the mandate of heaven really belongs to Ji Han? For more than a year, Ji Han has persuaded him to submit, the generals have come, and old friends have come, but he is old, fifty-six years old, he turned his back on Emperor Zhaolie to Cao Wei, and now he is returning, what is the point? Good horses don't eat back grass.

However, is this life like this? Rotting with grass and trees? My body is still strong and I can do a lot of things. The emperor of Ji Han said that it is not for the country, but for the people.

For the people, what else can I do for the people?

There was the sound of footsteps behind him, and he stopped behind him, hesitated for a moment, and moved forward again.

"Father."

It was his son Tian Pengzu's gentle and respectful voice.

After pondering for a moment, Tian Yu asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

His voice had a strange hoarseness, he was originally a white-faced scholar, but he had led the army for many years, fought in northern Xinjiang, tore and killed, fought with the Xianbei people, and shouted hoarse. The shout is broken. However, even this is a hoarse voice, and a long howl in front of the Ten Thousand Horse Army will still make Hu Er change color, and all the horses will be in unison!

"Father, I have a visitor."

Guests, in Jihan, what kind of guests can there be? I'm just a lobbyist.

"I'm old. There is no energy to meet people. That's it. ”

A woman's voice suddenly sounded behind her: "Uncle Tian is three years younger than his father, and his father is still in front of the battle, how can Uncle Tian say that he is old?" The voice was soft and solemn, with a hint of solidity in the tactfulness, so that no one dared to despise it.

Although Tian Pengzu knew that the person who came was a distinguished guest, he never expected that it was a woman, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Tian Yu was also stunned, and when he turned around. The guests took off the hood on their heads, and a woman in the middle was born graceful and luxurious, beautiful and incomprehensible, but her eyes were as calm as water. It makes people feel close at a glance. It was this woman who spoke.

Tian Yu stood up and arched his hand: "This girl, who calls herself uncle, somehow?" Who is Lord Lingzun? ”

The woman accepted him calmly. After moving the chair, she sat down calmly and said: "The little woman naturally doesn't dare to climb high, and her father is the general of Ji Han's chariot and cavalry." ”

"Ahh Tian Yu's surprise is not trivial. The general of the chariot is Zhang Fei, he has two daughters, the elder is the queen, and the younger one is married to Wang Jun, the captain of Jiangshui, is this woman the mother of a country? "You are. Empress? ”

Xingcai nodded with a smile and said, "Uncle Tian came to Ji Han, and it was already a year old in the blink of an eye, and everything was complicated during this time, and my niece didn't come to see it, which is really rude, Uncle Tian is not strange." ”

Tian Yu never thought that the queen of a country would suddenly pass over, and he didn't know why. Calculated in my heart. But he said, "Where, the old and sick are crippled." The day is not safe, the people who are left behind, how dare the queen worry about a thousand years old. ”

Uncle Tian laughed, Uncle Tian is in Youzhou, his reputation is far away, Hu'er is frightened, and no one in the world knows it. Right now, in Ji Han, it is the time when the dragon returns to the sea and shows his ambitions, why is he old? ”

Tian Yu shook his head and said: "An old man, how can he compare to Ling Zun, fight rice and pot meat, kill the enemy on the battlefield, and be brave enough to be brave." I'm just waiting for the day when the time comes, what else can I do? ”

Xingcai smiled: "Uncle Tian is too modest, Lao Ji is in the middle of nowhere, his ambition is thousands of miles, the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong, this is the poem of the late Cao Gong, right?" Uncle Tian has been fighting all his life, from the first emperor, from Gongsun Zan, and later from Cao Cao, has been unwilling, and now in Ji Han, His Majesty is preparing to show his talents, so that Uncle Tian can fulfill his wishes. Uncle Tian is a free and easy person, why bother to dwell on the past and refuse to face the reality? ”

There are always people who say these words, but whoever says them can't compare to the words that Xingcai said so tactfully, so reasonably, and touching people's hearts. But Tian Yu thought about it, and finally sighed: "Alas, I am finally old, I can't see the destiny of heaven clearly, and I can't understand the world." ”

Xingcai smiled: "Uncle Tian, do you know Lingzhou? ”

"Lingzhou?" Tian Yu really didn't pay attention to it.

"Yes, Lingzhou." Xingcai told Xu Ling'er's story again. When Tian Yu heard that Xu Ling'er personally cut off tens of thousands of enemy soldiers with hundreds of men and horses in order to save the people, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a strange woman! ”

Xingcai said: "Your Majesty once said that the four northern counties will be the base, and the entire desert will be included in the palm, and they will all be classified as Lingzhou, and from then on, there will be no more disputes between Han and Hu." I wonder if Uncle Tian is willing to do this Lingzhou assassin history? ”

Tian Yu pondered for a moment: "You let me think about it, I still have a lot of old guys." ”

Xingcai said: "I asked them, and they all said that you are the first to look forward. ”

"I'll give you an answer in three days."

Xingcai smiled and nodded, told him to take care of his body, and then came out of Tian Yu's house and got into the carriage.

"Niangniang, shall we go back to the palace? Came out all day. The accompanying little eunuch asked.

Xingcai looked at the sky: "Go back, there will be a curfew immediately, don't be locked out of the palace." The guards trained by His Majesty only recognize the rules and do not recognize people. ”

She sat in the car, let out a long breath, lowered her long eyelashes, raised her jade lotus-like arms, and gently pressed her jade fingers between her eyebrows. It's been a day out, and I don't know if they will do anything. I hope I'm wrong.

Xingcai was in turmoil for a moment.

In the past few months, there has always been a bad rumor floating into her ears from time to time, saying that several royal brothers and brothers always secretly send people to contact. Whether this rumor is true or not, it is worth her vigilance. At present, His Majesty, the Prime Minister, and the two generals are not in Chang'an, and the weight of responsibility on their shoulders can be imagined.

She touched the talisman in her sleeve, which was left by His Majesty, and at a critical moment, she could use it to mobilize the Northern Army, the Southern Army, and the Forbidden Army left behind. And because of the defense of Chang'an, he personally went out to defend the war, waved his gun on the ground in front of the first emperor and hundreds of officials, defended the palace gate, and had a certain prestige in the army, coupled with his identity and talent, he was not worried that he would not be able to suppress those generals and schools. In the past two days, they seem to be playing in Chang'an City, but they have secretly laid out chess pieces, as long as they have something wrong, they can easily win them all.

However, she thought, would they really be so stupid as to hit the blade themselves at such a critical time?

Kou Feng is annoying these days.

He tried not to leave the house as much as possible, but there were always rumors about him. He didn't know why.

He was originally a general who commanded the soldiers and horses, and was later transferred to Hanzhong to supervise military affairs. Is Your Majesty still not at ease with yourself?

Kou Feng grabbed the bottom of the wine jar with a big hand, poured the entire jar of wine into his mouth, and then smashed it to the ground with a thud.

"Why! I don't have any ambitions, I just want to be a big general and kill the enemy on the battlefield, isn't this not possible? I don't have the surname Liu anymore! ”

"My lord, someone from the palace is coming."

"Who?" Kou Feng looked up.

"Big brother!" A young man took two steps forward, went down with a salute, and affectionately took Kou Feng's hand and said, "Big brother, it's my little brother, it's not easy, the queen is not here today, so I can quietly get out of the palace." You were a hero back then, why do you look so decadent now? ”

"You, who are you?" Kou Feng looked at this young man strangely, and suddenly woke up, "Are you Liu Yong?" "Kou Feng has been away for a long time, and his return to Beijing is short, and the last time he and Liu Yong saw each other was a few years ago when the Zhaolie Empire was at a funeral. At this time, although Liu Yong is young, he has a heroic atmosphere, as if he was back then.

"It's the little brother." Liu Yong got up with a smile and sat down by himself, "Big brother can't think of it." ”

"You don't need to call me big brother, my surname is Kou now, and Chitose forgot about it, right?"

"What's the matter, wherever you go, you are also my big brother. Emperor Zhaolie recognized it, why should others dare to deny it? I don't care what others think, even on the street, I dare to call you big brother. ”

Kou Feng only felt that his eyes were hot, and sighed: "Good brother, it's hard for you." ”

Liu Yongdao: "What do I have to be embarrassed about, anyway, I am neither the eldest son, nor have any military achievements, let alone prestige." Except for my mother who is the queen mother, my uncle who is a general, there is nothing else, and I don't fight for the throne, what am I afraid of? ”

Kou Feng was stunned for a moment, and when he heard what he said, he said: "If you don't fight for the throne, that's the best." This world has been decided, although Your Majesty is guarding against me, but I also want to say that he is a wise lord, with both ability and political integrity, named Shoucheng, the same as the creation, Dingyongliang, expanding the northern Xinjiang, and going down to Luoyang, which is a feat that the first emperor has not been able to complete. At present, Ji Han and the ministers are of the same heart, and our brothers should also be of the same virtue. ”

Liu Yong was surprised, he was tempted, but he didn't expect Kou Feng to be so far, he didn't have any dissent, but spoke for Liu Chan. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly laughed: "My stupid big brother, I'm afraid that if you are generous-hearted and have no ambition, he will not allow you." Do you know what rumors are there in Chang'an City today? ”

“……”

"It seems that the eldest brother knows. So, the eldest brother should know how Cao Zhang, the king of Cao Weiwei, died, right? Cao Pi is his own brother, a plate of poisonous dates......"

"What exactly do you want?" Kou Feng roared in a low voice.

"I want my eldest brother's right-hand man. I want to be able to protect myself, protect my big brother, and get all the strength we deserve. ”
