Chapter 1439 Li Zhi wants to dance with the sword
This year in Guanzhong is bound to be a rainy year. The spring rain has been pouring down non-stop. Now that summer has come, it is raining again and there are no sunny days.
The willow trees beside the Ba Bridge are lush and green, and the fine wickers stretch and sway in the drizzle. From time to time, swallows shuttle nimble and light among the wickers, and occasionally fly over people's heads at low altitude, dancing in the drizzle.
Fortunately, no large army has gone out since the beginning of spring this year. Otherwise, it would be difficult to see this scenery. Traveling Guanzhong people like to break off a willow branch by the Ba Bridge and give it to them.
The allusion of "breaking willows at Baqiao" may seem beautiful, but in fact it is an out-and-out model of environmental destruction...
However, the arrival of relatives here means separation.
In ancient times, communication was poor, transportation was backward, and medical and health care standards were even poorer. Many times, relatives traveled to other places, which meant separation between life and death, and no chance to see each other again in this life. When we accidentally hear news about each other years later, there is often a separation between yin and yang...
Qiu Shenji was escorted by several soldiers and knelt down in front of his father.
"It is a heinous crime for a son to be unable to fulfill his filial piety by his father's side. However, now that the matter has come to this, the son has no choice but to regret it. He also hopes that his father will take care of his health and buy more clothes and food. My son is far away in the Western Regions, and he will also Pray to the gods and Buddhas every night for my father’s health and longevity..."
At the end of the sentence, tears were flowing down my face and I was filled with regret.
How could he not regret, how could he not hate?
Born into a noble family, he has been blessed with magical powers since he was a child. He has honed his qualifications in the military over the years. If he gets a chance, he will rise to the top and become a leader among the younger generation of the noble family.
But now, an inexplicable disaster fell from the sky, directly ruining the beautiful future...
Not only that, the trip to the Western Region is a long way away, and the Gobi Desert is full of yellow sand and thorns. Who knows if you might catch an illness and die on the way? Even in the Western Regions, the severe situation and war there are brewing almost every day. Who knows if all the Han people's territory will be occupied by the barbarians when they wake up. All the Han people will be like the five barbarians who invaded more than two hundred years ago. He was treated as a "two-legged sheep" and massacred...
All in all, this journey is very dangerous. Only God knows whether we can return to Chang'an alive.
Qiu Xinggong stood at the end of the bridge with his hands folded, looking at his sad son in front of him, full of sadness and anger!
Just overnight, his strong body had become rickety, and his face was full of wrinkles, his complexion was gray, and his expression was haggard.
At this moment, looking at my son who was as embarrassed as a wild dog in front of me, my heart felt like needles pricking me!
Stretching out his big, calloused hands and gently caressing his son's head, Qiu Xinggong looked gloomy and spoke firmly: "My father and son have worked for Your Majesty for two generations. Your Majesty has also been very kind to my Qiu family. If there is no villain who interferes with it, why This? When my son goes to the Western Regions, he must take care of himself and leave the green mountains without worrying about having firewood. Even if his father risks his life in Beijing, he will definitely seek justice for my son and find a new future. ! ”
The anger in my heart has already risen to the sky!
Changsun Wuji's betrayal, Gao Shilian's cold gaze, Fang Jun's frame-up... Each of these are like bone spurs growing in his heart, making every breath difficult for him, and he can't wait to kill all these people. Only by killing him can the hatred be relieved!
Although he has many sons, they are all just walking dogs. Only the youngest son in front of him can support the Qiu family's fortune. But now that he is in this situation, it is like breaking the foundation of the Qiu family's inheritance...
Of course, he had to say this, so as to plant a seed in Qiu Shenji's heart, so that he should have hope in the most difficult environment, work hard to survive, and never give up and resign himself to fate.
Once a person loses hope in his heart, he loses the tenacity to live. In the harsh environment of the Western Region, this is almost equivalent to destruction...
Sure enough, Qiu Shenji's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing these words, and he raised his head and stared at Qiu Xinggong: "Father, is this true? Can my child be an official again?"
Qiu Xinggong straightened his body, Guan Daowei raised his eyebrows, and said domineeringly: "Why not? Although he is guilty, it is not a serious crime of rebellion and treason. He is just being made things difficult for him and being treated as a victim of the struggle. As long as he changes to that A few people... It all depends on human effort. Not only does my father have to earn you an official position to wash away this filth, but I also want to earn you an official position of the first rank and one person below you!"
Qiu Shenji cried with joy. His originally depressed spirit was completely cheered up, and he knelt down and worshiped again: "My child must obey his father's instructions, take good care of himself, and wait for his father to call him back to Beijing."
He is a straight-headed person, and he neither realizes how difficult it is to be a criminal and then regain his official status in this strict hierarchical society, nor does he appreciate the determination and madness in Qiu Xinggong's words...
After several urgings from the soldiers, father and son reluctantly parted ways.
Thin rain wisps obscured his eyes, until his son's tall figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road, and Qiu Xinggong stood where he was, as straight as a gun.
After this farewell, can our close relatives see each other again?
Qiu Shenji, who was at the end of his rope, only remembered that this was his father's promise. Since he was a child, his father's promise had never been unfulfilled, so the light of hope once again appeared in his gloomy life, and he went to the Western Regions full of longing to wait for his father's call. ……

Jin Palace.
Jin Wang Li Zhi smiled and invited Li Junxian to take a seat, and ordered people to serve him tea. Then he smiled and said: "The general came quickly, and I have no preparations here."
As soon as he came out of court, Li Junxian received the emperor's order, ordering him to lead the "Hundred Cavalry Division" to assist the King of Jin in running errands. How could Li Junxian dare to delay? He immediately hurried to the Jin Palace to wait for orders.
Cupping his hands in the direction of the palace, Li Junxian said sternly: "Your Majesty has a decree, how dare you neglect it? Please give your instructions on how to do things. The general will do his best to help His Highness."
Li Zhi's pretty little face was full of smiles. He held Li Junxian's hand affectionately and said warmly: "With the general assisting me, we will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. Speaking of which, the general has watched me grow up, so he is very fond of me in my heart." We are as close as a family member. We need the general to take care of us in the future. I will definitely not treat you badly.”
Li Junxian felt a thump in his heart when he looked at His Highness the Prince of Jin, who was still childish even though they were married...
It is true that the smile of this young highness looked friendly, like sunshine, making people feel comfortable and willing to get close to him, but when he said this sentence, Li Junxian felt a chill from head to toe.
Is this to win over me?
It seems that this young His Highness has a big heart...
Li Junxian considered his words and replied cautiously: "I am so scared, how dare I call His Highness my 'relatives'? We have different identities. Please be careful with your words like this. If it spreads out, you will be criticized. Your Highness Being blamed by His Majesty It's strange but the matter is serious, and I don't dare to say words of care. You are a prince, and someone is an eagle and dog. There is a difference between superior and inferior... His Majesty ordered the general to come and obey the order. The general did not dare to delay. It is unknown how His Highness plans to thoroughly investigate His Royal Highness Changle's room. Minister? ”
Seeing that he changed the subject, Li Zhi did not show any disappointment or annoyance. He smiled calmly and said: "Who said that I want to investigate Sister Changle and the Minister of Housing?"
Li Junxian was stunned: "Didn't His Highness propose a thorough investigation into this matter at the court meeting?"
Li Zhi was confident, he smiled, and said with a hint of pride: "There are countless ways to thoroughly investigate this matter, and directly investigating Sister Changle and Fang Shilang himself is the stupidest strategy. Not to mention that Sister Changle is my eldest son. Sister, it is really outrageous for a younger brother to investigate something like that. As for the chamberlain, does the general think that if the king offends that stick, he will not dare to hit him because he is a prince? "
Li Junxian thought for a moment, and what His Highness Prince Jin said was indeed true, but the problem was that if we didn't start with these two people, how could we investigate this matter?
"I don't know His Highness's intentions. I will be stupid. Please give me some advice."
"Haha, where's the pointer? That's what I think. Look, since there's an uproar in the city, let's follow the clues and catch the person who created the rumor in the first place... What's the truth of the matter, isn't it? Reveal it to the world immediately? ”
"..."
Li Junxian stared at His Highness the Prince of Jin, who was smiling harmlessly in front of him, and the chill in his heart became even worse...
How is this meant to thoroughly investigate the affair between Princess Changle and Fang Jun?
This is clearly Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, aiming at Pei Gong!
I just don’t know who is dancing the sword this time is His Highness the King of Jin, and I don’t know who the Duke of Pei is this time...(End of Chapter)
