Xijing Chronicle

Together with Gu Huaisheng and the others, carrying the will of the late emperor, they used various tricks along the way to evade the assassins sent by He Ze countless times. There were frequent dangers, and they finally arrived in Xunzhou safely after half a month.

Xunzhou is located in the west of the Central Plains. It is dry all year round, the land is barren, and the people live very poorly. It is not easy to produce enough food every year, let alone cope with the government's expropriation.However, since the emperor divided this land into the fiefdom of the virtuous king, the virtuous king has issued a new policy to encourage the people to engage in business. Anyone who engages in business can be exempted from tax for three years and can receive grain by the dime. Most of the people in the state abandoned agriculture and started business.

In the first two years, Xunzhou had no self-produced food, and the people did not make enough money to make ends meet. Even the government treasury was exhausted. The huge livelihood pressure shrouded the entire Xunzhou city like a dark cloud. It's all gloomy, worrying about the future.Many people said that King Xian is Sun Quan's married sister - he lost his wife and lost his army. They don't know what to do after the treasury is exhausted!

Just as a group of people in Xijing, headed by the emperor, waited to see the joke, the third year ushered in the blink of an eye.What is surprising is that the people in Xunzhou earned several times more money from doing business this year than in the previous two years. Not only did they make up for all the lost supplies, they even had a surplus.

Regarding this matter, some people were surprised, some were puzzled, and some smiled knowingly. Those who were puzzled asked the reason, and replied: Xunzhou is located at the junction of the Western Regions and the Central Plains, adjacent to a river and a river. North-South traffic hub.Previously, Daliang focused on agriculture and neglected merchants. Although people in the Western Regions admired the exquisite things of Daliang, they had nowhere to trade, and there was no exchange of specialties from the north and the south. Today, Xunzhou abolished agriculture and emphasized merchants. Gein's business route has not been opened, and in the third year, the foundation was laid in the previous two years, and the business grew bigger before it could become a blockbuster.

Since then, every time the virtuous king is mentioned, everyone will sigh with emotion that he is really courageous, he broke the boat and gave up the child, and finally caught the wolf.

In the winter of the third year when King Xian moved into Xunzhou, there was a lot of snow on New Year's Eve. After two years of bleakness, the people in the city finally started to smile this year. The sound of firecrackers, family reunion, and laughter separated It can be heard from afar.

Jin Xuenian carried the food box through the snowy atrium. There were two red lanterns hanging under the porch. He stopped under the lanterns, carefully put the food box away, then took off his cloak to shake off the snow carefully, and then lifted the food box again. The box pushed open the door and entered.

The cold wind whizzed and rolled up snowflakes and rushed into the house, bringing gusts of cold air. Gu Huaisheng raised his head from behind the case, and bent the corner of his mouth at him: "Your footsteps can be heard from far away."

"Everyone is gathering in the front yard for a reunion dinner tonight, and you are the only one missing."

"The war is imminent, there are too many things to do, and I really can't get away. Well, just today, Pingguo sent a secret letter. Jingzhou has agreed to me and will send troops to support me."

Jin Xuenian let out a sigh of relief, and while Gu Huaisheng was packing his books, he leaned in front of the brazier to keep warm: "After all, it's New Year's Eve, I brought you some food, and the lucky money from the virtuous king, along with it."

"It's not a child, and you can still get lucky money." Gu Huaisheng laughed, but still reached out to take the red envelope from Jin Xuenian, opened it and poured out two golden leaves.

Jin Xuenian glanced at it from the corner of her eye, and raised her chin indifferently: "I have one piece more than you."

Gu Huaisheng stood up with his cuffs covered, watched Jin Xuenian open the food box, took out the food from it, took seven or eight dishes in a row, and finally couldn't help but say: "I can't eat so much, don't you eat all the food Is it here?"

"Every dish is served for you, and it's a good omen for the new year," Jin Xuenian glanced at the dishes, and reported one by one, "Every year, there is more than enough, every step of the way, good luck, good luck, and wealth. You must eat this dumpling."

"What does this mean?"

"Dumplings are also known as 'Jiaozi', which is the alternation of old and new, adhering to God's will. Eating dumplings is 'Geng Sui Jiao Zi', which means festive reunion." Jin Xuenian took out a small dish poured with aged vinegar and bowed his head to him. I picked up a dumpling, "The old man said that if you eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, in the new year, no matter how far apart or how long you are separated, you will be able to reunite safely and reunite."

Although his tone was light, his affection was genuine. Gu Huaisheng knew that he had always been reserved, and it was not easy for him to say these words. He couldn't help feeling a little hot in his heart, grabbed his hand, and said in a low voice: "Then you should eat these dumplings even more. Yes, after all, after the new year, you are the one who goes to the battlefield."

Jin Xuenian's eyelashes trembled, and she raised her head, her dark eyes were as mellow as ink.

"Let's eat together."

They were not people who believed in these things, but when faced with the upcoming parting, their hearts suddenly hesitated, so they would rather place a sustenance on it and seek peace of mind.

The wick was almost burning to the end, when the spark touched the lamp oil, there was a loud bang, and the light of the fire flickered on and off, shining on the window paper, and a pair of silhouettes side by side also flickered in depth and light.

There were occasional whispers coming from the crack of the door, which were quickly dispersed by the cold wind.The warm yellow lighting is very warm.

After the Spring Festival, it is the Lantern Festival. When the city is full of excitement, the military camps outside the city are quietly and quickly lined up one after another. The entire military formation is pitch black, no one lights up, and even the moon comes out from behind the clouds. When I poked my head out, there was no reflection. It turned out that all the metal objects were covered with a layer of mud.

Jin Xuenian was wearing armor, standing side by side with Chen Ji at the forefront of the line, half of his face was illuminated by the moonlight, making his silhouette more sonorous and solemn.

"Brother Jin, you and General Chen must be careful." Chu Tingya handed the spear/spear to Jin Xuenian sadly, "In order to avoid the emperor's eyeliner, the young master and His Royal Highness Xian Wang are enjoying the battle with the common people on the tower. I can't come to see you off, so don't be sad."

"I know," Jin Xuenian took the gun and caressed the gun body with lowered eyes. He has experienced the involuntary in life for a long time, and now this little thing is nothing, "I'm not sad, it's not about life and death , we will see you again.”

"Bah, bah, don't mention that word, it's unlucky!"

Seeing that Chen Ji had already looked this way frequently, Chu Tingya could only back away no matter how reluctant he was, Jin Xuenian smiled at him, turned his horse and walked back to the front of the team.

Not long after he came to Xunzhou, he was still recruiting soldiers with money from the Miao family. Once Gu Huaisheng brought him to inspect the military camp, and it was he who took the initiative to mention that he wanted to join the army.

It wasn't for dedicating anything, nor was it for proving anything. It was just that when he saw teams of soldiers practicing neatly in the field, they shouted loudly. At that moment, he suddenly felt his blood surging, as if something had suddenly awakened.

That was the blood belonging to the Jin family flowing in his body. From then on, he understood that fighting on the battlefield is the fate and longing of the descendants of the Jin family, and they are unwilling to be peaceful in their bones.

and……

With Gu Huaisheng's intelligence and skill, if he only wanted revenge, it would not be difficult to find an opportunity to assassinate He Ze, but he went around in such a big circle to deal with He Ze, just because he didn't want to hurt innocent people.This is the country that Gu Huaisheng insists on tenderly protecting even though he is carrying deep hatred and blood hatred. He is willing to turn himself into a city wall and protect the people and things that he wants to protect.

This difference is a full half a year.

For half a year, Gu Huaisheng sat firmly in the back and assisted He Huan to manage Xunzhou in an orderly and prosperous manner. However, no matter how many things he had in his hands, whenever there was news from the front line, he would definitely put down what he was doing and examine it carefully.

Sometimes a thin piece of paper can be read over and over again, and can sit for most of the night. Jin Xuenian is not a person who is good at expressive expressions, because the official documents have to be passed through the eyes of the virtuous king. Most of his documents are as concise and restrained as others. Throughout the article, only official business is mentioned, and personal affairs are not inquired about.Occasionally, I couldn't bear it anymore, and Gu Huaisheng could see red eyes at the abrupt greeting that was carefully added at the end of the letter.

Because he knew that it was Jin Xuenian's longing that was hidden in his heart.

In the past few years, He Ze's behavior has become more and more surly and unpredictable. One second he was still smiling, and the next second he might violently chop off someone's head. Not only that, he also favored eunuchs, imitated the ancients to build luxurious palaces, The wide acceptance of beauties has aroused complaints from the people, which is no different from a faint king.

Jin Xuenian held the last emperor's decree and headed east all the way, under the banner of punishing traitors and eliminating flattery, most of the prefectures and officials in the places he passed surrendered without a fight, opened their doors to greet each other, and took down the west side of Daliang without a single soldier. most of the land.Even if there were those who refused to open the city gate and surrender, the young general Jin could quickly capture the city. He used his troops treacherously and did not follow the common sense of military principles.

General Jin was not only capable of fighting, but he also managed his troops very strictly. He issued several military orders, forbidding soldiers to harass the people even if they were thirsty.The name of Little General Jin spread quickly because of this, and he was loved by the people. Sometimes it was heard that his soldiers would pass by, and some people would even spontaneously bring food along the road to give away.

Every time Gu Huaisheng saw his deeds in military newspapers, or heard people talking about his merits in teahouses, he always felt very relieved. His eagle finally soared into the sky with its broken wings and soared in the sky. His domain alone.

But often the huge longing will come later like a tide.

In the autumn of the 18th year of Fuyuan, on the day of September [-]th, Jin Xuenian led an army to the city and surrounded Xijing City. outside the city.

The gate of the city was wide open, and Jin Xuenian came out more and more, his face was full of wind and frost, but there was no trace of fatigue in his eyes. Even if he walked among the cheering people, he was still solemn and silent, without any complacency, let alone arrogance.Some surrendered officials wanted to lure him to rest in the resplendent mansion, but they were sternly refused.After patrolling Liwei in the city, Jin Xuenian still stayed with the soldiers that night.

Afterwards, Jin Xuenian followed Huaisheng's order to take care of Huaisheng, took out the will and announced it to the world, and angrily denounced He Ze as a traitor who stole the country. The wise king He Huan is the master of the world. The new emperor enters Beijing.

Gu Huaisheng followed He Huan to the east, and the closer he got to Xijing, the more anxious he became. He Huan saw everything in his eyes, specially prepared a fast horse for him, and allowed him to go ahead.

Gu Huaisheng rode a fast horse, traveled day and night, ate and slept in the open air, and only took a short rest every day when he was tired, and he insisted on reducing the half-month journey by half.As soon as he arrived in Xijing, he went straight to the barracks without delay.

At that time, Jin Xuenian was reviewing the documents by the candlelight, when suddenly he heard a soldier report that someone was looking for him.His heartbeat suddenly increased, and he stood up abruptly. He didn't care about the paperwork falling on the ground, and hurriedly took two steps outside, then stopped as if remembering something, and messily arranged the bun and sleeves.

But at this time the curtain was suddenly lifted by someone, he stayed where he was, staring blankly at the bearded man striding over with a dusty suit, and embraced him in his arms.

At that moment, it seemed that even time stood still, and my heart, which had been wandering for half a year, settled down like this.

Gu Huaisheng closed his eyes and leaned into Jin Xuenian's ear, trying to hide the choking in his throat, and said in a relaxed tone, "That's great, the dumplings on New Year's Eve were not in vain."

The author has something to say:

It's over here

The two have already walked together with an open heart, and the process of fighting is also separated from the two places, so there is no need to repeat it, so it is just a brief mention.

In addition, because this article is not included in V, I will organize all the documents into TXT and put them on Weibo after the end, and some fragmentary episodes will also be included, so that everyone can download it with Moonstone, and don’t ask me again. What's Bo's name, I'll put it in the comments w
