Chapter 43 The Return Section 7 Buried in a Foreign Land
"Your Majesty------ Lord Shen was a little excited just now, and said some wrong things, the emperor must not be angry------" He Chen, who was on the side, was furious when he saw the emperor's face, and knew that when his emperor wanted to kill someone, no one could stop him, but he couldn't bear that the prime minister was about to be killed by the emperor because of a few sincere words, so he hurriedly knelt down to help Shen Yue intercede.

"You, He Chen, you are bold, you actually dare to intercede for him?" Xiao Yan said angrily.
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry!" all the officials hurriedly knelt down, "Please let the emperor calm his anger and spare the two adults." ā
Xiao Yan couldn't imagine that all the officials knelt down to plead, and he laughed angrily: "Haha------ ha------ Lian just wants to bring his son home, you can't get used to it, so many things in the royal family, do you have to take care of it?"
Wei Rui saw that something was wrong, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this is the time to wait for the final peace document of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and you must not spoil the major matter of peace talks between the two countries because of such things------ Lord He, Lord Shen is a little uncalm today, why don't you help Lord Shen down quickly? I still have urgent military affairs to report to the emperor." ā
He Chen saw that Wei Rui glanced at him, so he hurriedly held down Shen Yue and kowtowed, and hurriedly retreated with all the officials.
Xiao Yan didn't expect Wei Rui to give himself a salary from the bottom of the kettle, as soon as his anger came up, he couldn't find the object of anger, and he was so angry that he was wandering around in the tent.
Wei Rui knew that the emperor was extremely uncalm at this time, and everything Shen Yue said was for the emperor's sake, if the emperor insisted on doing things according to his own temperament, he was afraid that after returning to Beijing, the people's hearts would be lost, but in this case, he had to think carefully about how to say it in a different way.
"Your Majesty, you want to take the second prince back to Beijing, the end will be a sincere understanding, what Lord Shen said today is really inappropriate, the emperor, there will be a sentence at the end, can the emperor calm down and listen to me?" Wei Rui asked in a sincere tone.
Xiao Yan also calmed down a little at this time, he nodded, and he began to hesitate at this time, not knowing how he was good, when he was upset, listening to Wei Rui was not necessarily a bad thing.
"Your Majesty, you know much more about Buddhism than the last general, and you understand it more profoundly, thinking that after that person dies of popularity, he will immediately go to hell after removing the great evil, and the person who has done a lot of good deeds will immediately ascend to heaven, and the soul will not be able to be reborn immediately. The undead who have not been reincarnated are not ghosts, and the second prince at this time must be waiting for the ripening of reincarnation. Your Majesty, the last general thinks that if the filial piety or relatives and friends of the deceased can invite monks to do some Buddhist things for him, the deceased can be reborn in a better place because of this. Your Majesty, please think twice, the second prince at this time, I am afraid that he is waiting for the emperor to give him something to do to overtake the undead, and the second prince has been dead for a long time, if he does not overtake the undead in time, I am afraid that the soul of the second prince has nowhere to put it, and he will blame the living------ Moreover, the second prince also hopes that he can enter the earth as soon as possible. Wei Rui said these words in one breath, he didn't look up at Xiao Yan, and he didn't know if Xiao Yan at this time could listen to what he said, he could only try his luck like this.
After Xiao Yan heard Wei Rui's gentle words, he suddenly began to cry, Wei Rui slowly raised his head, he saw that the emperor in front of him had lost his usual majesty and coldness, and Xiao Yan at this time was a father who had lost his son, crying sadly.
"Huaiwen------ what I love most since I was a child is him, no matter whose son he is, I can't forget that time, he can abandon me and defect, but I ------ how can I bear to let him ------ let him bury his bones in a foreign land?" Xiao Yan cried.
Wei Rui accompanied him carefully, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the two emperors must have too many unresolved grievances in this life, but Buddhism has a saying: 'One person is born, born and died, died and lived, born and died, and died and died, that is, from cause to effect, from effect to cause, continuously, forming the image of reincarnation. If the emperor does not let the second prince enter the earth for peace, how can the second prince be reincarnated as a human being? The second prince enters that reincarnation early, maybe ----- or maybe in the next life, he and the emperor can be father and son again, the emperor, do you think there is some truth in what the last general said?"
"Alas------ Huaiwen, everything you said hit Lian's heart------ it seems that I originally wanted to take him back to the palace, and then do a good thing for him and give him a chance to spend the undead, but now it seems that I can only leave him alone here------ ā
"The emperor's dragon health is the most important thing, according to the last general, it is the most appropriate thing to let the soul of the second prince return to bliss as soon as possible. ā
Xiao Yan turned around, raised his sleeves lightly and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Okay, Huaiwen, I want to pass on the decree and order someone to go to the nearby temple to invite the senior monks to do the Dharma for Zong'er." ā
"The emperor is wise, and the last general will invite Lord He over. ā
"---- go. Xiao Yan sighed and waved his hand to order him to go down.
Wei Rui turned around and came out, the hundreds of officials were standing in the wind and snow, they were all worried about Wei Rui's safety, and when they saw Wei Rui walking out unharmed, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Rui took He Chen aside and told him in a low voice what the emperor had just ordered, He Chen admired this General Wei in his heart after hearing it, so many officials did not settle the matter, then Wei Rui persuaded the emperor in a few words, this ability is really amazing.
"General Wei, I, He Chen, thank you for Lord Shen, if you hadn't thought of this method, I'm afraid that we wouldn't be able to return to the capital ---- these people. ā
Wei Rui smiled lightly: "You can't say that, the emperor was also talking about anger just now, can he really kill all of you?" If that's the case, then the affairs of the court and the middle of the court will be done by the emperor alone, I'm afraid that the emperor has great ability, and he can't do what you can do." After all, he is still a father who has lost his son, speaking from his heart, it is normal for words and deeds to be lost under sadness, Lord He, do you say yes or no?"
"Alas---- I, He Chen, have obeyed you. He Chen sighed, "I'll go to the emperor and hear what else he has for me." ā
"Lord He, your words must be tactful, don't be too rushed. Wei Rui whispered.
"General Wei, after returning to the capital, you must tell my junior brother Fan Yuncheng about this, he has never learned how to speak in his life. He Chen suddenly thought of his junior brother, and now he didn't know how he was tossing in that Dali Temple.
"Lord He, go quickly, let the emperor wait for a long time, I'm afraid there will be another change. Wei Rui kindly reminded him.
"Okay, I'll go. He Chen nodded gratefully and hurriedly walked into the tent.
The heavy snow fell for two days and two nights, and knee-deep snow covered the vast land, Fan Jun led his troops, and after two days of difficult marching, finally returned to the army.
When passing through the tent of the Chinese army, Fan Jun heard the monks chanting the "Mantra of Death", and when he came to Wei Rui's tent, he could still hear the sound of chanting.
"Father-in-law!" When Fan Jun entered the big tent, his body was already covered with heavy snow.
Wei Rui saw that he had turned into a snowman with a piece of plain silver all over his body, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him pounce on the snowflakes on his body.
"Is it safe on the road?" asked Wei Rui in a low voice.
"I didn't encounter anything, but General Li urged me to come back quickly. Fan Jun saw that Wei Rui's expression was a little heavy, he originally wanted to ask, but he didn't know if it was appropriate to ask at this time, so he swallowed back.
Wei Rui pulled him to the brazier, ordered him to roast the fire first, warm his body, poured a cup of ginger tea that had already been boiled on the brazier, and handed it to Fan Jun's hand: "Hurry up and drink some ginger tea to warm up." ā
"Hey, good father-in-law!" Fan Jun looked at Wei Rui in front of him in confusion, only to see that his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked so distressed.
"Father-in-law, hasn't he rested well these days?"
Wei Rui smiled and didn't answer, since the day Fan Jun left, he hadn't slept a single night, he was always scared, afraid that something would happen, until Fan Jun returned safely tonight, he finally put his mind at ease.
"Jun'er ----"
"Father-in-law----
The two of them shouted out at the same time, the father and son couldn't help but smile at each other, Wei Rui motioned for him to drink the ginger tea first, and Fan Jun obediently drank the cup of tea. Wei Rui thought for a while before he spoke: "Jun'er, if you have the opportunity to stay in the army, are you willing ----to stay?"
Fan Jun was stunned, he had never thought about this question, since the day of the army, the thing he thought about the most was to be able to go home alive, and what he was most worried about was also the things at home. Tonight, the stepfather suddenly asked about it, and he didn't react for a while.
"Don't be in a hurry to answer me about this, just give me an answer within five days. Wei Rui saw Fan Jun's hesitation, and he comforted him softly, signaling that he didn't need to worry.
Fan Jun nodded: "Okay father-in-law, I will answer you in a few days after thinking about this matter." Father, when you come, you see people doing Dharma in the camp, and you ----"
"Ah, it's the emperor, who made it for the second prince to transcend the undead. Wei Rui's face sank slightly when he thought of this, "Jun'er, there is something I have to tell you." ā
"Father-in-law, please speak!"
"Some time ago, your father asked someone to write to the emperor and ask for the -----position of Zhengqing of Dali Temple," Wei Rui said with difficulty.
"Dali Temple Zhengqing?" Fan Jun asked puzzled.
Wei Rui nodded gloomily: "Exactly." ā
"But why did my father want this official position? He is not the kind of person who likes to be an official. Fan Jun was puzzled.
"Your family, I don't want to inquire, a few months ago General Zhao Cao went back to the capital once, some time ago when he came to the barracks to deliver grain and grass, I asked him when he would return to the capital, Lord Zhao said that he would return to ----- Jun'er in five days, can you copy a copy of Cai Yan's "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" piano score and send it to me?"
Fan Jun was stunned, Wei Rui in front of him was also a master of the piano, and he naturally had this score in his hand, but why did he want to recopy it himself? Over the years, he has followed Wei Rui's side, as long as it is what Wei Rui ordered, he will naturally do it, and never ask why, tonight's things are the same, he nodded and said: "This is no problem, I will definitely copy a copy within five days." It's just that I'm going to use this piano. Fan Jun pointed to the guqin in Wei Rui's tent.
Wei Rui saw a trace of tears flashing in Fan Jun's eyes, but the tears disappeared in the blink of an eye, he understood what Fan Jun was thinking at this time, he must be thinking about the beautiful and stubborn interracial girl, but he couldn't speak, he could only pretend that he didn't see anything.
"Well, I'll put it with you in the next few days. Wei Rui saw Fan Jun's tired expression, hurriedly put the piano into the bag and handed it to him, "You are tired after running around for days, go back and rest quickly." ā
"Okay father-in-law!" Fan Jun stood up, put the guqin on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'm leaving." ā
"Alas---- rest earlier. Wei Rui muttered.
Wei Rui waited for Fan Jun to leave, he has been sitting there in a daze, he regretted that he didn't say what he wanted to say to Fan Jun just now, he put on cotton clothes, braved the wind and snow and walked to Fan Jun's camp tent, at this time Fan Jun, has lit an oil lamp, he slowly opened the bag, Yuan Xiang left Wei Rui the guqin out, sat cross-legged on the ground, put the guqin on his lap, he gently plucked the strings a few times, this piano is very good, presumably Wei Rui often plays it, Fan Jun lightly stretched his fingers, and slowly began to play, the piano music is Cai Wenji's"Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji".
Fan Jun's piano sound sounded a little sad, plus he missed Yuan Xiang, his mind was a little scattered, and the trills were similar to a whimper, which was even more sad in the silent night.
When Fan Jun was halfway through, he couldn't play anymore, he stopped, and read in a low voice: "I didn't do anything at the beginning of my life, and Han Zuo declined after I was born." The heavens are unkind, and the earth is unkind, so I am at this time. The road is in danger, and the people are in exile and mourning together. The smoke and dust cover the wilderness, and the ambition is obedient and righteous. Who should I sue if I am insulted by the vulgar------?
