Song Dynasty Official Publishing House

Xu Fuzhi entered the door as if he was running away. He didn't know what he was avoiding. The distance from the door to the house was only a dozen steps, but he felt that every time he took a step, it became extremely difficult.Everything was ruthlessly torn apart, and the past was hidden for him in the middle of the night, but was illuminated by the moonlight again.

Standing at the door, Xu Fuzhi vaguely saw the dim lights in the room, he covered his eyes in pain, his tightly knit brows couldn't hold back the tears: "Yishu..."

Fighting side by side in the past, sharing blood in the same robe in the past, holding hands tightly in the past,...it turns out that they are all fools in the end.

"Husband, what are you doing standing at the door? Is the outer door closed?" Cheng Yiya heard her husband's footsteps approaching the door, but she didn't come in for a long time, she couldn't help asking.

"Closed." Xu Fuzhi subconsciously replied when he heard his wife's voice.

"Come in and sleep quickly, it's late at night." Cheng Yiya said.

"Okay." Xu Fu replied subconsciously, but stood at the door for a long time without going in. He didn't go in until he heard Chengzi closed the door outside, and closed the door quickly, for fear that Chengzi would find out that he had gone out.

Xu Fuzhi was afraid that his wife would see his abnormality, but when he entered the door, he found that his wife had already fallen asleep, and his son was lying beside him. Xu Fuzhi returned to reality in a trance. In the moonlight that came in, one could faintly see Cheng Yiya's sleeping face.When I first met Yiya, she was still a little girl, timid, but now she is the mother of a child, gentle and virtuous.Now that he is at the top, his wife and children are by his side, his family is rich, and he is not afraid of hunger and cold, he has nothing to complain about.

The man has passed away for seven years, the grave is covered with green grass, and the spring is covered with bones and skeletons. What else can he do?Xu Fuzhi clenched his hands tightly, letting tears rage on his cheeks.Does he have a choice?Life didn't give him any other options, he could only live like this until the day he died.Perhaps on that day, he had already turned gray, while Yishu was still the youthful young man back then.The boundary between life and death can never be crossed.

Song Cheng tiptoed into the door, the yard was silent, no one seemed to notice that he had gone outside, he sneaked into his room with a sneaky smile, closed the door, thinking about what to do with Qi Yue tomorrow.

When Xu Fu woke up the next morning, he said that he had a business partner in Bianjing and wanted to discuss a business with him. He went out early, and was helped back in the evening when he was drunk. Song Cheng helped him in, and Xu Fu Zhi Zhi patted Song Cheng on the shoulder, and stumbled into the door by himself.Cheng Yiya fetched water to wipe her husband's face, and took care of her for half the night.

When Xu Fuzhi woke up from a hangover, it was already dawn outside, he rubbed his throbbing temples, and walked out the door weakly.

Song Cheng went to the bookstore, Master Xu and Yu Xi went to the academy, only Mrs. Xu and Yiya were playing with the children in the courtyard.When Mrs. Xu saw Xu Fuzhi get up, she let out a cold "hum", and Xu Fuzhi pulled his stiff face and smiled.

"Husband, there is face washing water I made in the room, you go wash your face, I'll bring you breakfast." Cheng Yiya smiled and handed the child to her mother-in-law, got up and went to the kitchen, Xu Fuzhi nodded and went in I went to wash my face.

Song Cheng and Yu Xi had lunch at the commercial store as usual at noon. Yu Xi kept smiling when he entered the door. Song Cheng asked with a smile, "What happened? I'm so happy."

"Master Xu came to the academy to teach us today, it's very interesting." Yu Xi said with a smile.

"Why is it interesting?" Song Cheng flipped through the ledger and asked casually.

"He told us about Brother Qi's childhood, and you..." Yu Xi secretly glanced at Song Cheng as he spoke, only to see Song Cheng's hand flicking through the account book, and then said expressionlessly: "Listen Forget it, don’t forget.”

"Understood." Yu Xi smiled.

In the blink of an eye, half of autumn was over, and this day was not the time when the Imperial College was on vacation, and Qi Yue actually came to the bookstore.Song Cheng was leaning on the couch to read a book. When he heard Qi Yue's voice, he thought he had heard it wrong. It wasn't until Qi Yue came in that he asked, "Why did you come out today?"

Qi Yue didn't stick together as usual as soon as he entered the door. He moved a stool and sat in front of Song Cheng, stretched out his hand and moved the book in Song Cheng's hand aside and said, "Chengzi, I met Zhao Xiang today."

Song Cheng also sat up when he heard the words, why did Zhao Pu find Qi Yue suddenly, Song Cheng asked: "What's wrong?"

Qi Yue said: "He wants to accept me as a student."

"You agreed?" As soon as Song Cheng asked this, he felt that he had made a mistake. When Zhao Pu approached him, there was no room for Qi Yue to refuse, but he didn't expect Qi Yue to say: "No."

"Why not?" Song Cheng asked.

"He said that next year His Majesty will open a course to obtain a scholar, and let me take the imperial examination." Qi Yue said.

"Then you go." Song Cheng said.

Qi Yue buried his head in Song Cheng's waist, and said in a low voice: "But I don't want to be an official. I have been in the Imperial College for half a year, and I have met many officials, big and small. They all seem to know how to eat. Normal."

"Then can you keep shrinking?" Song Cheng stroked Qi Yue's head and sighed.

Qi Yue said: "Master Zhao gave me time to think about it, and asked me to go to the Prime Minister's mansion to find him. I still have some things to do, Chengzi, I want to kill Wang Yu and Liu Wenyu, I want to ask Ask Pan Mei why he didn't come."

"Go if you want, you have to get over this hurdle." Song Cheng got up and let Qi Yue sit beside him, and the two sat side by side and talked like they did when they were children, "Qi Yue, you are still young, and there are many roads ahead. If you want to leave, you can’t just be a student all the time, right? You’ve been on the battlefield in the past, so why do you want to be a coward now?”

"Yes, I know." Qi Yue nodded.

After the Battle of the Gentleman's Pavilion, Liu Tingrang returned to the court with a sigh of relief, but tens of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield in the icy cold winter, which made him unable to bear it. He sued Li Jilong in front of the emperor.Li Jilong delayed the opportunity to retreat, leading to the annihilation of the entire army in the battle of Junziguan, and the fall of northern Xinjiang. His Majesty must give him an explanation for this matter.

His Majesty was very fair at the beginning, and handed Li Jilong directly to Zhao Pu for interrogation, but after a while, the matter was settled. Not only was Li Jilong not punished, but he was also promoted to a rank, and went straight to General You Xiaowei , Directly command the deployment of Xiongzhou.When Qi Yue heard the news, he was furious. It seemed that things on the battlefield had never been fair. For example, Cao Bin, who had been reinstated without meritorious service, was the envoy of the Wuning Army.

When Lady Qi went back, Qi Yue was sitting on a stool in the yard wiping the knife, the waist knife that Qi Yue brought back from the border, Lady Qi frowned and asked: "Qi Yue, why did you take out this knife? "

"It's been left for a long time, there is some dust on it." Qi Yue said.

Lady Qi didn't take it seriously, she turned around and went into the kitchen, and the sound of cooking came from the kitchen after a while.Madame Qi suddenly remembered that Qi Yue will be crowned next month, she put down the kitchen knife and said to Qi Yue, "You will be crowned next month, you must prepare well."

Qi Yue responded.

Lady Qi sighed again: "Qi Chen should reach the crown too, but I don't know where he is now."

Qi Chen and Qi Yue went out together, but Qi Yue came back by mistake, and Qi Chen was still at the border. If it hadn't been for a letter from the family at the end of the year, everyone in the family would have thought that Qi Chen had died in battle. It's time for battle.

"It should still be in the area of ​​Daizhou. Don't worry, nothing will happen for the time being." Qi Yue said.

"It's good to be safe, it's good to be fine." Mrs. Qi said, "Qi Chen is your uncle's eldest son, and he has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, but this world is not peaceful, and there are always bloody wars. I heard that the people outside starved to death. There are quite a few, thanks to the fact that we are in Bianjing."

"En." Qi Yue replied.

"Why are you listless today? But what's the matter?" Lady Qi asked.

"Mother, I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back before I reach the crown." Qi Yue put away the knife and put it into a newly made scabbard. Upon hearing this, Lady Qi came out of the kitchen and asked: " Where are you going?"

"Do something." Qi Yue said.

"What's the matter? It's going to be winter soon." Qi Niangzi frowned and said in her tone that she didn't want Qi Yue to go out.Qi Yue smiled and said: "Mother, I went to worry about it."

"What's on your mind, tell your mother?" Qi Niangzi walked up to her son. Qi Yue hadn't leaned on his body for many years, but at this time he unexpectedly leaned on Qi Niangzi's shoulder, and he smiled. Said: "I can't tell you, just trust me."

"How can mother believe you if you don't say anything?" Mrs. Qi rolled her eyes and "hummed", and Qi Yue flattered her: "It all came out of your stomach, you still don't believe me?"

"It's the one that came out of my stomach. I don't worry about it. I didn't worry about it when I was a child. How many good things have you done in the past 20 years? How many things have you done to make me worry?" Mrs. Qi stretched out her finger Breaking off for Qi Yue, Qi Yue was also very helpless, what his mother said was right, I really haven't given his mother peace of mind in 20 years.Qi Yue shook Lady Qi's arm, stretched out a finger and said, "One last time."

"Last time?" Qi Niangzi glanced at Qi Yue, who immediately assured him: "Last time! Really!"

"I remember." Qi Niangzi got up and went to the kitchen, Qi Yue was so happy that she said loudly: "Mother, really!"

"Got it, you brat." Lady Qi couldn't help laughing.

Qi Yue said to leave as soon as he said, and when he left, he was afraid that Song Cheng would be worried, so he asked Mrs. Qi to hide from Song Cheng together, saying that he had gone to the Imperial College to study.He simply stayed in the Imperial College on weekdays, but he really kept it from Song Cheng. By the time Song Cheng found out, he had already returned.

Qi Yue left as soon as he said he would, and left Bianjing early in the morning with only some silver taels and Yang Yanyu's knife.Wang Yu was exiled in Jinzhou, traveling nearly a thousand miles away, Qi Yue rode his horse out of Bianjing City and galloped on his horse, and he arrived in only half a month.

Jinzhou is really a place of bitter cold. It is already the end of October. When the north wind blows, it is like a knife being cut on the face. Once entering a warm room, it hurts and itches.

Qi Yue inquired all the way and found the pasture that Wang Yu was looking at. The weather outside was extremely gloomy. Qi Yue was wearing a big hat, and the expression on his face could hardly be seen. It was getting dark, so Wang Yu entered the house and lit a lamp.

Qi Yue looked over through the crack of the door, Wang Yu was still sharp and sharp as before, that hateful face has now turned into a thin and pitiful appearance, Wang Yu took off his official uniform, wearing shabby cloth clothes, and the tattoo on his face It can be seen faintly, squatting on the ground next to the earthen stove, eating a piece of cake, a kettle is set on the fire, and there is faint steam in the kettle, it seems that the water is about to boil.

"Who?" Qi Yue stood for a long time, Wang Yu finally found someone outside the door, he stood up suddenly, Qi Yue saw that he had found it, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.It was already dark outside, and the north wind howled and rolled up the corner of Qi Yue's robe. Wang Yu saw a swordsman with a hat covering half of his face standing in front of him holding a knife. He asked, "Is this strong man going to rest?" ?”
