Longevity

On the way back to Xie Mansion, Xie Bumin received a report from Song Jinge's spies, General Yang Wei rebelled and defected to Guanshan King.Xie Bumin immediately led the horse back to the palace.

Guanshan King is now recruiting a large number of rebels, and his intentions are well known to passers-by.

Now if Su, Wang, and Xie's family tear themselves apart...

Xie Bumin supported his head and leaned against the wall of the car.

But it has become an indisputable fact that the three families are fighting each other.There is no going back.

When Qinglin explained to him the reason why he healed him, Xie Bumin was terrified: "Are you going to die?" Qinglin was stunned for a moment, then laughed again: "It's reincarnation, reincarnation as a human being."

"Is that dead or not?" Xie Bumin still only cared about this question.

"It doesn't count..." Qinglin was confident, and even smiled brightly, "I have a deep knowledge, and I can still keep my memory."

"Ah." Xie Bumin couldn't help admiring her, with a rare expression on her frosty face.

Qing Lin looked at the admiration that the cold child finally showed with affection, in order to forcefully suppress the fear of death in his heart, he pretended not to care and smiled proudly, and still wanted to achieve his goal: "So if I accidentally disappear, you must make this world safe and prosperous, and let me enjoy the success when I come back to you."

"Dream." The boy's mouth was still so cheap that it made people want to twitch, "If you are arrogant, you will stink."

"Hey, hey." Qinglin pretended to be dissatisfied, and pulled the tender face of the boy in his arms, "Can I have some face? I will save you."

The boy squinted at Qinglin, and the words uttered from his deformed face were vague: "I'm lazy..." Qinglin looked seriously at the boy's terminally ill appearance, and now the boy really had no resistance to his movements, no matter what. It can't be saved, but the disbelief in what he said in the boy's eyes can't be hidden, the boy is still saying: "I don't want to rule the world..."

"You can't really 'respect and thank Bumin' to everything just because your name is Xie Bumin?" Qinglin pounced on his cheek, and then quickly put him down to dig out the herbs that were drying outside, Xie Bumin was so angry that he gritted his teeth and gasped for poison curse.

After discussing things, it was getting late, Song Jinge asked Xie Bumin to leave a meal, and the four of them happened to sit around the table.

Mo Tongchen stared blankly at Song Jinge, Song Jinge smiled and stroked his head: "What do you want to eat?" Before he could answer, he began to arrange vegetables for him.

Xie Bumin looked around, the scenery in the imperial garden was just right, the singing and swallows were singing, the flowers were shy and budding, and it was not yet the time to compete for beauty, but it was so green and natural that it made people's eyes shine. He couldn't help but wondered: "Why?" Want to eat in the garden?"

"He doesn't like to abide by those rules." Song Jinge watched Mo Tongchen eat, and then moved his chopsticks, and then Xie Bumin and Sun Xiyuan followed suit.

During the banquet, Song Jinge didn't care about what to eat, but patiently called "Senior Brother, Senior Brother" to show his hospitality, serving Mo Tongchen with vegetables, soup, and picking pricks. Xie Bumin looked very disgusting: "Can you restrain yourself Is it?"

"You thought you were better than him when you were young?" Song Jinge of course wanted to protect Mo Tongchen, and counterattacked, "At that time, Ah Li, Ah Xian, and I...well...Brother Yuan and that woman couldn't bear to see you eating .”

Sun Xiyuan coughed lightly and did not answer.

Xie Bumin's face turned red instantly, she pursed her lips, speechless.

Xie Bumin hated taking medicine the most when she was a child, and the second thing she hated was eating.

Qinglin was responsible for taking care of him, and of course he even had to take care of his meals, so when it was time for meals, everyone gathered together, the three masters in the door did not eat, Shang Sheng was traveling outside, and Song Jinge often came to walk around, so a dining table became a table. Children's battlefield.

"Okay, okay, Qinglin, take your young master to eat in the room." Sun Xiyuan couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Jinge will go with me, Ruqi, you take two juniors."

Seeing that Sun Xiyuan's face was mostly darkened, the children immediately dared not talk and play anymore.

"I won't eat." Xie Bumin's voice was crisp.Qinglin still put the eggplant into his bowl: "You can't eat it."

Seeing that the good show of having three meals a day was about to start again, the remaining three members of the small group of four pricked up their ears and stared at them secretly with their round eyes, and the speed of cooking was much slower.Subsequent facts also proved that the four people's bad habit of watching good shows was not formed in a day or two.

"Don't eat the skin." Xie Bumin knew that he couldn't escape, so he could rely on it a little bit.Qinglin picked the skin carefully according to the words, then picked up the eggplant and brought it to Xie Bumin. Xie Bumin closed his lips, wrinkled his nose, and frowned, like a little old man.

"If you eat obediently today, I'll go kiss Mao Mao after eating." Qing Lin gently pinched Xie Bumin's face, seemingly gentle.Mao Mao is a little puppy caught by Si Xiangang.

Xie Bumin's eyes lit up.The eyes of the little quartet lit up.

Xie Bumin nodded, and obediently opened his mouth to let Qinglin feed.Qinglin looked at him, smiled softly and deeply, her thin lips became two light-colored thin lines.Xie Bumin vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't bear to miss the grand scene that was about to happen.

After the meal was finished, Xie Bumin said to Qing Lin expectantly: "Go, go, carry me."

"En." Qinglin obeyed, picked up Xie Bumin from the chair, and everyone got up to follow, but unexpectedly, Qinglin suddenly lifted Xie Bumin in front of him, and tapped his lips lightly. His eyes were like star pupils, and his lips Extended into two thin lines, said with a smile: "You are my Mao Mao."

I was fooled again!Recalling this matter, Xie Bumin's face was also very red.

Song Jinge looked at Xie Bumin with flushed cheeks and slanted brows, and knew what he was thinking. Seeing that he couldn't hold it anymore, he knocked on the side of the bowl, making Xie Bumin come back to life with two "ding ding".

Xie Bumin was frightened by him, and felt her heart throbbing sullenly.

"Your complexion is worse than last time." Song Jinge frowned, "I sent a letter to Jing Yan to ask him to come back, and bring Lu You's unused medicine by the way..."

Xie Bumin hurriedly waved his hands and smiled: "What is it like, the majestic ninety-five-year-old, who gave something to others but wants to return it."

Song Jinge wiped Mo Tongchen's mouth: "I just ask him to block it for a while, if I'm done, I will let him go back, and I definitely dare not delay him and Lu You."

"Don't talk nonsense." Xie Bumin interrupted his words after "the general situation is over", Song Jinge continued to speak, and then both of them fell into silence.

"It's cold after eating." Sun Xiyuan filled two bowls of soup, one for each person, "If there is something to say after dinner, I was in charge of you when you were young? You forgot the rules."

Song Jinge smiled weakly, Xie Bumin didn't tell him to say anything depressing, but this emperor, he can be the emperor for a few days.You can't save your life for a while, but everyone knows it well.

Xie Bumin quickly brought down the Wang family.The Su family cut the face of the Wang family, what Xie Bumin knocked down was only face.

All the grain hoarded by the Wang family was distributed, and warehouses were also opened in various places to provide food relief, but the people still refused to accept it—the natural disaster was not over, and this little grain could not survive for such a long time.The Guanshan King died suddenly, the peasant uprising army defeated the Guanshan King army, and the Guanshan King army took refuge in the peasant army.

The leader of the peasant uprising was named Qiba, surnamed Li, and called himself Beiwang.One person rises up, and the crowd responds.The king of the north claimed that the natural disaster was caused by the current emperor's disobedience to the law of the former emperor, and he wanted to wipe out the evil emperor and restore the previous dynasty.Furthermore, Song Jinge is indeed a person who can conquer the world but can't defend the world. He has never received a good education in governing the world since he was a child, and he has only taught himself how to manage the world for more than 20 years.Xie Bumin wants to help as a prime minister, but his family has been a businessman for generations, these matters are still to be explored, and Song Jinge does not trust others, so he can only work for Xie Bumin.

The rivalry between Xie Bumin and Su's family intensified. Xie's mother occasionally caught a cold and died of anxiety. Xie Bumin had another task to be busy with.

Not long ago, Su Qinglu led all the Jiangnan officials to ask for the abolition of the prime minister, saying that Xie Bumin had been an imperial merchant for less than three months, and had already used his power to seek personal gain. , Xie Bumin has found a way to bring down the Su family—Su Jinyu cured his son of a strange disease, and secretly embezzled 5000 taels of gold from the national treasury without telling Su Qinglu.Xie Bumin wants to bring down the Su family before he makes up for it.

I've been losing too much hair lately.Xie Bumin inserted one hand into her hair, and she could touch her scalp lightly. A few days ago, she was in mourning in thin filial piety, kneeling on the cold ground. Sun Xiyuan took over the investigation of the downfall of the Su family. She was not present and had no one to support her , suffered a slight cold, and coughed again.

Song Jinge thought about returning to the court, and seriously managed the chaos of Li Qiba, while reforming the system and appease the people, and temporarily postponed. In danger, Li Qiba wanted to save his "Northern King" face, so he sent someone to assassinate Si Xian's military adviser Pei Ni, but failed, and met Si Xian protects each other with his body, and Sixian dies. Shang Sheng and Feng He are the chief and deputy generals, taking the place of Sixian.

After Xie Bumin took care of his mother's funeral, he took care of his brother Si Xian's funeral.Song Jinge came to express condolences and assisted Xie.

As for why the assassin knew to go to Si Xian's place to assassinate Pei Ni instead of Pei's mansion, Xie and Song always felt strange about this matter.

There are dense pines and cypresses, and crows cry sadly. This is Mount Wutou facing north from the imperial city, and Sixian's grave is halfway up the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain were green pines and cypresses, Xie Bumin and Song Jinge each took a handful of soil and added it to the grave.The sun was shining brightly, but the tombstone was extremely cold when it reflected on it.

The cemetery was chosen by Pei Ni, and two caves were dug at a time, one was sleeping for Si Xian, and the other was waiting for Pei Ni.

Xie Bumin patted the soil on his hands, looked at the names of the two people on the tablet, Pei Ni ignored the crowd's obstruction, and insisted on painting the names of the two people in the same color.

"I admire Pei Ni." Song Jinge seemed to be muttering to himself, and he was very haggard after discussing the details of the restructuring recently, "I used to complain why he had so many worries and never wanted to let go of the world and be with Ah Xian, but today he insisted Go to die—" Song Jinge sighed, "Axian finally saved his life..."

Li Qiba has reached Hanshui, and is passing Jinzhoukou.Pei Ni packed his bags and went back to the front line as a military adviser.

"Speaking of which, it's Ah Xian's favorite to play." Xie Bumin wrapped herself in fox fur, with a frosty face in the plush, which was rare not bitter. Que'er, Ah Li is not so skinny. Seeing that Pei Ni directly arrests people, I have to apologize to Mrs. Pei today." "Well, since Pei Ni was born, Ah Xian has become estranged from everyone a lot. "Song Jinge picked up the jug and poured wine into the four cups, "But I asked him to help him and he never refused, so he was probably too embarrassed to ask. After all, A Li agreed, but how can it be impossible for people to want to hold their daughter-in-law in their arms for a happy birthday?" ..."

"Don't think like this." Xie Bumin interrupted him, raised his glass and drank it down. Xie Bumin coughed a few times, and then uncontrollably induced a series of coughs. Song Jinge also drank a cup, and then For Xie Bumin's comfort, he finally stopped, while Xie Bumin was adjusting his breath, Song Jinge lifted the remaining two glasses of wine and poured them one by one.

Song Jinge quietly looked at the pines and cypresses behind the graveyard, the wind was blowing a little bleakly, cooling people's hearts.The pines and cypresses rustle with the wind, just like the precarious life of the world. "I'm sorry for you, for my own self-interest, so that your two brothers will sleep forever in the loess, and the blood of the Si family will finally be cut off. I..." Song Jinge choked up, and could not continue, the wind had already blown his eyes red .

"Ajin, you can't think about it now?" Xie Bumin tried to comfort him, but he didn't know how to comfort him who was always mean, and said contemptuously, "Even without you, everyone has no future. Will Pei Ni give birth?" Song Jinge laughed strangely, and said helplessly, "That's really strange." Then he put the wine glass on the back, "We are all childless people, my senior brother—"

Before he finished talking, someone broke in, covered in blood and smelling like blood: "I want to inform Your Majesty, General Mo suddenly recovered from his illness and escaped from the palace under the support of a dozen men in black!"

Xie Bumin hurriedly turned to look at Song Jinge, Song Jinge had a white face, and the movement of putting down the wine glass froze there. After a while, he seemed to react and giggled: "I also said why I have changed my sex recently so that I am so obedient. So, huh , so it’s still not good.”

It turned out that they had waited until today, when a large number of guards followed Song Jinge to go out, the defense of the palace weakened.

"A Jin." Xie Bumin smiled coldly, the wind blew through his hair, and a cold breath overflowed from him, "It seems that Ah Xian's death was not accidental."

"Let him die." Song Jinge didn't lose his childish temper, but there was a storm in his eyes, and his words were light and bright, "It's better to let him die than to catch him. I worry about gain and loss every day, and I'm tired." At the end of the sentence, he seemed to be Thinking of something, he raised the corners of his mouth and let out a disgustingly naive smile, "Ah Xian is watching him from below."

For a woman who was not worth it at all, Mo Tongchen put aside all principles, and also discarded the last bit of Song Jinge's tolerance.

Xie Bumin nodded, signaling to the informant to execute, then lifted the wine glass placed on the grave, and handed it to Song Jinge: "Ah Jin, I'm leaving, throw it down."

All of Song Jinge's pretense was broken in an instant. With a flick of his sleeves, he flicked the wine glass to the ground, and the colored glass exploded on a pine and cypress behind the grave. With a wave of hand, a fragrant flower bloomed on the pine branch.Song Jinge roared mournfully.

"He knows that Axian is my brother—who is vicious? Why did he let me go? Why is Axian dead? He never lied to me before! I want him to die—" The word "death" almost broke the sound .

Xie Bumin looked at Si Xian's grave, letting Song Jinge vent.I heard it's not good to make a fuss about the dead, but if Song Jinge is not allowed to vent, the dead probably won't feel at ease either.He has been a prince since he was a child, and he is favored by his seniors. Later, he was blessed by his brothers, and finally he became the Ninth Five-Year Honor. There is a time to change.

Xie Bumin sniffed the fragrance of the wine, Song Jinge stood there blankly, not knowing what to think, the wind was blowing, blowing his hair slightly messy, his robe was moving lightly, he looked thin and desolate.The colored glaze was shattered all over the ground, just like the water in Song Jinge's eyes, a little bit of crystal clear.

Now half of the brothers have gone, half—Qinglin, how far do you think this peaceful and prosperous world is?I may see?

The trees are bleak, the insects and birds are chirping, but no one responds.

In fact, Mo Tongchen also stole the real tiger talisman, and deceived the support of the former soldiers led by Mo Tongchen. In that army, Shang Sheng and other eyeliners had already been arranged elsewhere by Song Jinge, so Mo Tongchen could be considered to have stolen it. thing.

Mo Tongchen did vote for Li Qiba.Li Qiba launched another turmoil, and another war was inevitable.At the beginning of autumn, the Su family was overthrown, and many Soviet parties in the court were walking on thin ice, each with their own ghosts.What's more, they took refuge in Li Qiba.After the autumn harvest, Li Qiba established his own country as "Ming", appointed Mo Tongchen as the general of Dingguo, and revolted from Pingwa Township, all the way to the imperial city.

When Li Qiba's army arrived eight hundred miles away, Xie Bumin pressed his heart, feeling his heart beating suddenly and uncomfortable.Song Jin lost Mo Tongchen, and the two capable members of the Si family, only Liu and Jing, Shang Sheng, Feng He and others, were the only ones who could be alone.But Jing Yan could not stay for long.

It is hard to hide the signs of Song Jinge's impending defeat.

Song Jinge was unpopular, and Li Qiba promised to implement the land equalization system in the future, and the surplus grain would be turned over to the state treasury.

The people can't see through it at all. This kind of resistance is nothing but one after another.

How can there be a ruler who is not for himself?Otherwise, why do you still act as a so-called monarch over others?Some high-level words, Huangshang dreamed at night and would wake up laughing.

You can’t blame Song Jinge for anything. After all, the three sons fought to win the throne at the time. He was just protecting himself. If he let go at that time, he would not die. But Si, Su, Xie, Qin, Wang, etc. who supported Song Jinge Wait, you will be implicated.Brothers for many years, Song Jinge will not harm them, and they cannot watch Song Jinge die.Song Jinge in his early twenties, no matter how calm and self-possessed he is or when he still has a childish temper, how can he be against the elite Li Qiba who is over 40?Moreover, Xie Bumin led the war within the court, making everyone dissatisfied, and outsiders had an opportunity to take advantage of it. Song Jinge relied on aristocratic families rather than common people. It has not been easy to stand against Li Qiba so far.

Song Jinge and Xie Bumin stood on the west hill of the imperial palace, overlooking the unknown eight hundred miles away.

The flowing water is murmuring in the distance, and the people in the imperial city are safe and sound. Vendors, big and small, come and go from the city gates. The crowds are bustling. Children and children are chasing each other on the street, and the starched clothes are flying in the wind.

"Fight to the death?" Xie Bumin didn't turn his head, and his words were a little desolate, "I have prepared a few pieces of veneer and asked someone to collect the body."

Song Jinge remained silent, he knew that even if he persuaded Xie Bumin to abandon himself and surrender, Xie Bumin would flatly refuse.And he surrendered, the emperor surrendered to the peasants?In the end, it will be cracked by farmers.

In the end, Mo Tongchen was no one standing by his side.

"How are you doing here?" Song Jinge changed the subject, just like three years ago, took out a bag of pickled plums, and asked, "Do you want to eat?" Xie Bumin shook his head: "No. Recently, my heart keeps beating for no reason. Chest tightness, a little headache, probably because the weather is changing too fast." "Be careful." Song Jinge's mouth puffed up a few times, and he spat out, "Do you want Brother Lin?" The words teased.

"None of your business." Xie Bumin became mean again, took out a bag of candied fruit from his pocket, and shook it up and down, "Do you miss your senior brother?"

"Hey, hey, you bought it for me?" Song Jinge didn't answer, but when he saw the oiled paper bag from his favorite shop, he realized that Xie Bumin finally asked someone to buy it. The shop is now in Li Qiba's territory, so he grabbed it. past.Xie Bumin gave him a white look: "It's a good idea, so I bought it."

Song Jinge didn't expose the obvious loopholes in Xie Bumin's words, took the pickled plums and candied fruit, divided half of it and wrapped it up for Xie Bumin: "The medicine is bitter, give you half of the medicine." Xie Bumin laughed at him again, while He said while accepting: "Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

"Tch——" Song Jinge made a grimace, and then yelled at the ghost down the mountain, "Brother Lin——Amin's mouth is so annoying—marry him back—don't let him cause harm to the world—" Xie Bumin was so angry He raised his hand to hit him, but was dodged by Song Jinge, and said while hiding, "This vicious woman—you've worked hard, Brother Lin—" Xie Bumin chased after him and was about to hit him, but one of them was not caught firmly, and his whole body was in a daze. Relying on him, there was overwhelming nausea in his skull, and he almost fell, but fortunately Song Jinge supported him with his sharp eyes. Seeing that Xie Bumin's face was not good, Song Jinge hurriedly took him back down the mountain.

After a temporary relaxation, there is another busy one - if you are destined to die, you have to arrange things, fight a decisive battle, and never be a coward.

With Mo Tongchen, Li Qiba was like a tiger with wings added, and the Song army was severely defeated in the downstream of Yu Hanshui. Seeing that the situation was not good, several local officials defected and mobilized the local people to kill the Song army. Pei Nioben still stood firm and was forcibly led back.

The Song army retreated steadily, and many surrendered to Li Qiba.Song Jinge has ordered Jing Bin to return the Tiger Talisman, allowing him to return to the rivers and lakes, and wandered with Lu You. Pei Ni, Liu Heng, and Shang Sheng divided into four teams to guard the four gates of the imperial city.Li Qiba's army is only a hundred miles away from the imperial city.

Xie Bumin was using his brush to write a suicide note, and after writing a few lines, he lit it on a candle—what's the use?

What weight do the words of the dead have on the living?

Song Jinge has carried out several rounds of reforms, and there is considerable resistance. The government is corrupt, the local government is greedy, the people are dissatisfied, and the country's decline is too obvious. There is no way to do it.

Thinking of this, Xie Bumin burned many things that could not fall into the hands of others.
