Chapter 174: Out of the Dust
Pei Hao hurriedly welcomed Lu Bao into the study. Under the light of the candlelight, I saw this dear friend who was over 40 years old, although he was dressed like a quail, barefoot and bare elbows, and his face and body were covered with mud, like a beggar, but his body was very strong and his spirit was even more vigorous. At the same age, he is much younger than him.
The goose-faced girl behind Lu Bao, smiling and smiling, with beautiful eyes, wearing a red tight-fitting suit, with a sword on her back, is quite a heroine, it is her baby daughter Pei Ling, I saw tears in her eyes, and hugged him tightly as soon as she saw Pei Ling.
Pei Yan immediately brought the wine, and suppressed the shock for Lu Bao. Puzzled, he asked, "How did Mr. become like this, with Mr.'s Taoist cultivation, why did he look like this?"
Lu Bao took the wine, drank it all, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then roughly told him what happened in Luoyang City. It turned out that this Lu Bao was one of the more than ten monks in Kim Yong City who dealt with the spirit bones and black tentacles together that day. It's just that this Lu Bao's cultivation is not high, and it is a hundred thousand times of urgency, so Lin Yi's impression of him is not very accurate.
But this Lu Bao was very impressed by Lin Yi, although Lin Yi did not deliberately mention his identity, he was afraid that this Lu Bao had already guessed. However, for a worldly master like him, who regards the powerful as dung, there is no difference between the princes and generals of time and the people of Dawn, only the difference in identity.
"On the same day, Xiaoling and I heard that you were dismissed and returned home, and remembered the agreement made many years ago, so we came to Luoyang City, but we almost couldn't see our old friends again, and we were seriously injured for a few days, and then we got a little better!" Although this Pei is a mortal. But it's a Huixin orchid, and they have been close friends for many years. Of course, he didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit of the news that Wang Qiao told them to swear poison. Among the more than ten monks that day, although his cultivation was considered low, he was an inconspicuous existence, and because of this, he was the farthest away from the spirit bone, and the blow of the tentacle was not the key target, and in the end, although he was seriously injured, he saved his life.
Pei Fei listened to what this Lu Bao said. I was really surprised. Although he was dismissed from office, he was idle at home. But he did not return to Wenxi's hometown in Hedong, but still lived in Luoyang City. He has been an official in the court for many years, and the Pei family is a first-class scholar in the Great Jin Dynasty, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world. Hence the major events that happened during this period of time in the DPRK and China. He didn't leave the house though. But the major events in the world are well understood. Moreover, Emperor Hui died, and the prince's accession to the throne was known to the elderly, weak, women and children.
On the same day, there was an earthquake in Beijing, and black fog covered the sky. The winter thunder is endless, deafening, Qin Tianjian is so recorded, Pei Yan also saw it with his own eyes, heard it with his own ears, and what he didn't expect was that there were so many incidents behind this celestial appearance, and soon the old emperor collapsed and the new emperor was established.
The fortune of heaven is clear, how can mortals speculate. All this strengthened Pei's heart to be born. Then he opened his mouth again and again: "Today's people, although they are hungry and cold, miserable, the country is weak, and they are in internal difficulties and external worries! But the new emperor is cheerful, sympathetic to the people's feelings, and appoints people on the basis of merit, and it is precisely the Daoming Monarch who believes that in the near future, the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty will flourish, what is the face of a guilty minister like the old man, and then continue to stay in this Luoyang City! The old man has already made up his mind to travel the world with his husband!"
As soon as Lu Bao heard this Pei Yi's words, he was immediately overjoyed and said: "I have long advised Pei Gong to follow Zhang Liang's example, resign from all official positions, fly away, and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Today, Pei Gong is finally willing to make up his mind!"
Lu Bao thought for a moment, and then continued: "In the future, we will join hands to travel the world together, but we can't be so polite! I am two years older than you, and in the future, I will call you a virtuous brother, and you will call me a big brother!"
"It's good, big brother!" Pei Yan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded happily. It's really fortunate that you think that a master like Lu Bao is a brother with a different surname!
Pei Yan said something, and after a while, he spoke again: "It's just that the foolish brother's qualifications are dull, and the age is too early, this cultivation path started too late, I'm afraid that the big brother will be held back in the future!"
Lu Bao thought that this Pei Yan was only hesitant, because he was worried about his wife and children, and he couldn't bear to abandon his wife, but he didn't expect this Pei Yan to be worried about this, so he smiled heartily and said: "The virtuous brother is too worried! The foolish brother is only after passing the weak crown before he coincidentally embarked on this path of cultivation! As the saying goes: 'If you don't practice martial arts for a long time, you can't learn the Tao for a young person!' The old should not practice martial arts, and the young should not cultivate the Tao. The reason why the elderly should not practice martial arts is because the roots and bones have already grown, and it is difficult to achieve great achievements in practicing martial arts, and the young people are not suitable for cultivating the Tao, because the young people's heart has not yet been completed, and it is difficult to learn the Tao! Although the virtuous brother is thirty and six this year, he is in the prime of life, and my generation is mainly learning the Tao for the sake of cultivating the mind, and the second is self-cultivation. I have already seen that the virtuous brother has excellent qualifications, and his future achievements will be above the foolish brother!"
"The virtuous brother has done his best for the country and the people, and all the people in the world respect him and never forget it! The new emperor will ascend the throne tomorrow, and he will inevitably give amnesty to the world! With the new emperor's old affection for the virtuous brother, he will inevitably re-use the virtuous brother as the prime minister! If he doesn't leave tonight, he will not be able to get out of his body tomorrow, and the holy order will be difficult to disobey!" Lu Bao continued!
"That's right, that's what the foolish brother wants!" replied.
"Daddy, we'll come back often to visit our mother and brothers!" Pei Ling looked at Pei Ling's hesitant appearance and whispered beside him. Pei Yan opened the bedroom door and glanced at his sleeping wife, Wang, without hesitation, and strode away without taking a cloud with him.
"Master, master!" Wang cried as he looked at the empty chair in front of his desk. In the past few days, Pei Yi has been busy all night, and when he woke up today, Wang found that although the study light was still on, Pei Yan was not there, and there was no figure on the couch.
This Wang clan was born in the end, and after a while, he regained his expression and understood the reason. "Ling'er, that girl, I'm afraid she came back last night! I smelled the familiar fragrance on her body!" Wang said secretly in her heart, she had already guessed who Pei Yan was following and leaving.
"Sir, madam, great joy! The new emperor has ascended the throne, the emperor has granted amnesty to the world, and the title of lord has been restored, and the original position of the official palace has been restored! The prince and princess outside the door have arrived, please go and receive the decree!" The servant at the door shouted in surprise into the room. Wang slowly opened the door and said, "Take all the master's manuscripts with you, rush to the palace together, and thank Your Majesty!"
......
Fanyang Fangcheng (now Gu'an, Hebei) is Zhang Hua's hometown. The leaves fall back to the roots, the young leave home and the eldest return, and the hometown sound is difficult to change!
"It's been a rare year, why is the name still being held?"
This old man finally returned to his birthplace before burying his bones, and returned to the starting point of his life.
Fan Yang is located in the realm of Youzhou, only a hundred miles away from the Xianbei Yuwen Department. It is far away from the prosperity of Luoyang, Kyoto, and the temperature is much lower than that of Luoyang City, and the family is very uncomfortable. Zhang Hua felt that everything here was so familiar, and his soul was comforted, everything was so natural, harmonious and simple.
Zhang Hua, who stepped down from the pinnacle of power, not only did he not have a trace of pain, but his face was much better than before. Read a book every day, play with your grandchildren in your spare time, and enjoy this family fun!
The light snow outside the house has been small, and the snow is already more than a foot high, but Zhang Hua is like a child, building a snowman and having a snowball fight with his grandchildren in the yard.
saw Mrs. Liu suddenly rushing over from outside the door. Mrs. Liu is the daughter of Liu Fang, the minister of Cao Wei, and she is also a famous lady. Although she is several years younger than Zhang Hua, her body bones are much worse than him, but she doesn't know what happened, so that an old lady trotted up in such a hurry. When Zhang Hua saw Liu's panicked appearance, he already expected that something big was going to happen, and this peaceful life was about to make big waves!
Before Liu could speak, Zhang Hua heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and a team of elite soldiers in the snow was hurrying towards his house, and the leader was his son-in-law, Bian Cui.
Before Bian Cuiren arrived at the door, his voice was already coming from afar: "The holy decree has arrived!"
Zhang Hua hurriedly patted the snow on his body, grabbed his wife Liu, and knelt on the ground with his grandchildren. (To be continued......)
