spring as old

The old prime minister is the humerus of Zhou. He has been exhausted all his life, and he is all of the Zhou family. Unfortunately, the emperor of Zhou is incompetent and cannot support himself.After the death of the old prime minister, the Xiao family was ambitious and unscrupulous. Only the great general Zhong Rong, who was far away at the border, had a heavy army in his hand, who could stand against him one or two.

At the end of the former dynasty, the general was ordered by the emperor to return to Beijing, but was robbed by mountain bandits, and his whole family died on the way.In a few days, Emperor Zhou's uncle, King Jiaodong, seemed to be inspired by this incident, and sent troops to intercept and kill Xiao Yi in Beijing. Unfortunately, he could only transfer three to two hundred people. The rebellion was quickly put out, but a group of people , took advantage of the chaos and ran into the General's Mansion, massacred Zhong Rong's mother, brothers, and nephews, even the servants were not spared.Later, the court explained that this was the work of the rebellious soldiers of King Jiaodong.

But how can the bandits defeat the elite soldiers and good generals around the general?King Jiaodong has a total of three to 200 people, how to divide the troops and slaughter the mansion?What kind of hatred does he have to destroy people's families?

What the truth is, the princes in the court know it well.But how many people dare to discuss this matter?

Chen Du dared, he was arrogant and straightforward, and he was straightforward, but he was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time, so what could he accomplish?

Until now, for nearly twenty years, the arrogant and outspoken young man has been tortured by the world, and stays behind closed doors all day long, guarding that point of loyalty that is gradually forgotten by the world.

But Wei Xiu remembered that he was wearing armor and holding a spear. He was riding on a horse, riding side by side with his brother, as if he was born to gallop on the battlefield.Inheriting his grandfather's behest, he was familiar with military books and went to battle to kill the enemy, only for one day to lead an army south and unify Kyushu.

His blood is hot, and the years can't cool it down. He shouldn't be in the dark room, silent.

Wei Xiu looked around, there was a book on the desk not far away, thinking that the master was reading it just now, and now he was waiting for guests, so he threw it on the desk.On the cover of the book were the words "Six Secrets of War", which fell into Wei Xiu's eyes and made her feel the warmth she had not seen for a long time.

There are always some people who will not change.

Chen Du noticed that her eyes were fixed on a certain place, and looked over there. When he saw the book, he didn't hide it. He got up and walked over to it, and picked it up: "Mr. Wei, do you read military books?"

"Read." Wei Xiu replied, "This "Six Secrets of War" is a work of enlightenment. But I only dabbled in it, and I am afraid that Chen Lang has already been familiar with it by heart."

It is well known that he likes military affairs.Chen Du didn't deny it either, and closed the book, sticking the cover with his generous palm: "Looking at your talk about migrating to the army, I know it's not just dabbling. You are very familiar with the Liangzhou area."

"If you don't experience it yourself, how can you say something when you write an article."

Chen Du looked her up and down, his eyes stayed on her legs, and then he slowly moved up to meet her eyes: "It's not easy to walk in that area, the folk customs, customs, terrain, and fortresses must be well known, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of time." It's been a while. You've worked hard. But there's one thing I don't understand. The world is so big and the mountains and rivers are so strong that they are not only in Liangzhou. The imperial court uses troops, and the place of tension is not in Liangzhou. Why did you just focus on it? There, the article was published at the right time to impress the king and become famous all over the world."

Chen Du smiled, and he didn't know whether it was a sigh or a sarcasm: "Wei Zi is really good at pinching and counting. A few years ago, he can count to today. Presumably there is no princess, and there will be someone else. Wei Zi has long said this, as Jin The rank of the body."

In the shabby room, he could see the situation of the world clearly.I don't know whether he has good eyesight, or laments that he exiled himself from the imperial court, but he still has the good of the world in his heart.

"In this world, you have to do something to make your life worthwhile." Wei Xiu didn't deny it either, "I can't be like Your Excellency, who clearly has the ability to clarify the world, but can't avoid it, wasting what I have learned in my life."

Chen Du smiled: "You're right. You have talent, and you should really use it to benefit the common people."

Wei Deguo is not righteous, he is ashamed to be with such a monarch, but he does not impose his own standards on others.These years have also learned to be peaceful, at least on the surface, he is much more lenient.

"Your essay on relocating troops is well written, with unique viewpoints, and hits the nail on the head. I hope that this time the Qiang army can be settled down, and the war will be stopped, disasters and chaos will be stopped, and the common people will be saved."

Wei Xiu then asked with a smile, "Why do you hide the shabby house when you have the common people in your heart?"

"The morals of the world are not good, I'm cheap, I'm afraid of offending people." Chen Du said perfunctorily, covered his face, and didn't want to mention more.

Wei Xiu didn't place any hope, she was able to persuade him once, and she was not in a hurry, she poured tea for him, and said leisurely: "There is a change in the throne, the world is still the same, and the people are still the same. Well, if you can’t see it, you will feel depressed and indignant.”

"I haven't heard that for many years." Chen Du laughed.

In the past, people often persuaded him like this, but now the people who persuaded him either broke up with others, or broke up with him, in short, they have no contact with each other.

When Chen Du saw Wei Xiu, he was kind because of her appearance, and cherished because of her talent, so he asked: "You said that the people are still the same people, so you walked in Liangzhou and wrote that masterpiece. What you think in your heart is the common people, or do you want to get promoted and seek fame and fortune?"

Wei Xiu said: "Neither." She doesn't care about the common people, nor does she care about fame and fortune, both of which are nothing in her eyes.

Chen Du was taken aback for a moment: "Is that for displaying your ambition?"

Wei Xiu smiled, but didn't speak.

Chen Du hesitated, watched her contemplate for a moment, got up and went to the case, found out the "On Migration of Soldiers" that he had studied for several days, held it in front of Wei Xiu, pointed to it, and analyzed word by word: "I have read it many times, among which It seems to have been polished."

"Yes." Wei Xiu didn't hide anything, the princess changed a few things for her.

"Bring out the best in each other." Chen Du commented, he stroked his beard, "But it still can't change your indifference between the lines."

Wei Xiu frowned, looked up at him, and Chen Du said sternly: "It's true that there is no human touch at all, but the article shows the ambition and the author's feelings are included in it. In your heart, there is no common people, and even a sentence of Qiang Rong is chaos." , I didn’t write about the harm to the common people. If it’s not for fame and fortune, nor for ambition, as you said, I really can’t think of what you are doing for it.”

Chen Du is different from the emperor and the princess. He is close to the market, knows the hardships of the people's livelihood, and is more emotional. This is probably the reason why he has been unable to turn the corner for so many years and refuses to serve Wei.

Wei Xiu intended to impress him, but she didn't want to be taught by him instead.For a moment, I couldn't laugh or cry: "Why do I have a deep friendship, and the husband will naturally know. I came here because you and I share the same goals."

Probably because he has been persuaded a lot and has heard everything, Chen Du didn't respond to the words "like-minded and united", and he still persuaded Wei Xiu: "Put some benevolence and compassion in your heart, and life will not be bitter. You know I don't want to Why didn't you vote for Qi and Song when it was about Wei?"

It's hard to say whether you can deny Kyushu if you vote for Qi and Song, but it's better than being in this humble room with no name.

Wei Xiu said: "For the people you speak of?"

"That's right. This is my homeland, and the people here are all my countrymen. If I can vote for Qi and Song Dynasties, I will turn around and plan for my home country. When the time comes, blood will flow like a river, and I will feel uneasy. Will I be able to raise troops in the country? "Chen Du came up with a second plan, and he didn't need Wei Xiu to answer. He continued on his own, "My ancestor was the prime minister, and his disciples were former officials. They are all over the world. There are always people like me. Otherwise, you can still lure them." Eli, Xiao Yi can change from a minister to a king, why can't others? I watch his state affairs, and these years, I've been guarding against this. Even if I can't do it, I can't drag him off the throne, but I can hold my breath , at least it can disrupt the country, put all your blood into it, at least it can wake up the old ministers of Zhou. The country has been subjugated for less than [-] years, the old ministers have not died yet, and the King of Runan is still there. Do you think so? Acting, at least generously, is better than being alive and dead now, right?"

Wei Xiu frowned, she really thought so, what's the use of hiding in the dark room, complaining about the injustice of the world, complaining that people's hearts are not ancient?There is hope for change only by doing what you do, and complaining can't change anything.

Chen Du looked at her expression, and smiled softly: "What about after that? What about after the army is raised? The Zhou family is exhausted. Even if King Runan is restored, the imperial power may still fall aside. Go to Wei, come back to Wei, and repeat. What's the point?" Yi, it is still the people who suffer, and it is still the people who bleed. Wei Liguo has been in power for more than ten years, and the people in the north have lived in peace for more than ten years. Sacrifice. So, how is it different from Xiao Yi? How is it different from the princes who turned their back on the old master?"

What about the dead?The loyal people who died for Zhou, shed blood in vain?The chief culprit occupies the throne, occupies the country, and enjoys power and glory for generations. Does the blood stained on their hands not have to be repaid?

It's not easy for others to tell the common people in a righteous way, but Wei Xiu can't do it. She witnessed with her own eyes that her parents died overnight, and she never forgot her brother's words of revenge.The fate of the common people is fate, but the fate of princes and generals is not fate. Just because they are in high positions, they will die in vain?

Wei Xiu's smile became more gentle, she has a tough personality, and she handles things gracefully and elegantly.After listening to Chen Du's long speech, he said lightly: "You accept the official position, and you are already Wei Chen, why don't you want to serve Wei?"

"I'm not."

Wei Xiu looked at him: "Where is it not, the editor of the Chongwen Museum, noble and romantic, isn't it an official position in the State of Wei?"

Chen Du closed his eyes, turned his head, and said again: "I'm not!"

"You keep saying that you are for the people and the country, but you hide here, you don't offer strategies to strengthen the country, you don't do things that benefit the people, your words and deeds are contradictory, and you eat Wei Lu and deny that you are a Wei minister. What do you want, do you really know?" Wei Xiu Ask further.

Regardless of whether he was willing or not, he accepted the official position, and regardless of whether the salary was used by himself, the court gave it to him.

"You don't want to follow the crowd, but you have become a double-faced villain. Your words, generosity, and behavior are weak and shy. Who do you want to convince?"

Chen Du suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Wei Xiu, his eyes shot out like arrows and cut like knives.Wei Xiu said again: "The old Prime Minister named him Du. Now, I don't want Chen Zidu to cross the river. I just hope that Chen Zidu will be himself once, and stop deceiving himself and others."

Chen Du said loudly: "I have never deceived myself!" As if arousing the arrogance in his heart, he stared at Wei Xiu, slammed every word, and gritted his teeth: "I can't bear the suffering of the people, and I don't want to be a pawn for Wei Zhi. The only way to get the best of both worlds is to hide here, at least I have a clear conscience! And you? I don’t know why you don’t do it for fame or profit, but you don’t have benevolence and justice in your heart, and you don’t have mercy. In the end, you will have nothing What I got, I regret it!"

Broke up unhappily.

Wei Xiu came out of the dark room, the sun outside was glaring, she felt dizzy when she faced the sun.

After leaving the Chen residence, a group of people went back in silence. Just two steps away, A Rong called out: "Sir."

Wei Xiu looked up at her and found that she was looking behind her, so she followed her.

I saw a madman spit at Chen Men, scolded: "Fame!" Then he flung his sleeves and left.

Wei Xiu sneered: "Human, what I like the most is to ask others to do things that I can't even do."

A Rong was silent.

A group of people continued to move forward. After a long time, Wei Xiu sighed and said, "From here on, I won't come here again."

A Rong was puzzled. She listened to the whole conversation between the two. Although Chen Du persisted, it was not without breakthroughs. Why do you want to give up: "Mr. can clearly wake him up, why give up halfway?"

Wei Xiu looked up at the sky, the sky was clear and cloudless.She looked far away, and a smile gradually appeared on her lips: "He is always awake."

It was her who refused to wake up.

Back in the courtyard, Wei Xiu sat alone in the bedroom.

There is a bronze mirror in front of her, turned upside down on the case.The doors and windows were closed tightly, and the harsh sunlight was blocked, but it was still unyielding, and got in through the window paper, giving the dark room a little light.

Wei Xiu reached out to caress the bronze mirror, she pinched the edge and lifted it away.The hand trembled involuntarily, and the bronze mirror in his hand seemed to be as heavy as a thousand weights in an instant.When she saw herself in the mirror, both she and her elder brother resembled her mother. When she was a child, she was often told that she looked like her elder brother.Wei Xiu frowned, her long eyebrows raised, making her look even more handsome and clear.As long as she is more energetic and youthful, she will be almost the same as her elder brother.

If he is still alive, what will he look like now?He shouldn't have stayed in the vigor and vitality at the age of 15, no matter how many years have passed, he still stayed in that spring day.He should also grow up, experience wind and rain, experience tempering, step by step grow into a stalwart man, be steady and responsible, protect his wife and children from wind and rain, and charge forward for his family and country.

But all of this has become an extravagant hope, he didn't even leave a whole body behind!

Sorrow and desolation, faint wisps of wisps spread out from Wei Xiu's heart, gnawing at her heart like insects.What Chen Du said, every word and every word is in my ears, but who can let go of the hatred of destroying the family?

Wei Xiu's heart was full of sadness, she was supporting herself, she didn't know how far the road ahead was, and she didn't know if she could succeed, but she had no way out.

She lowered her head and saw her legs, which were neatly covered by her clothes, looked no different from ordinary people, but she would never be able to walk.

Suddenly, as if possessed by a demon, she threw the bronze mirror in her hand aside, supported the table with her hands, gritted her teeth, and tried her best to use her legs to stand up and try to walk on her legs.

The weight of the whole body is poured into both arms, and there is no force on the legs. The body is slowly hanging in the air, leaving the wheelchair, and there is still no strength in the legs. The steps are just a short one, and then the weight of the body leans forward, imitating the appearance of walking.Slowly letting go of the crutches, Wei Xiu held her breath, her face was covered with sweat, and she focused on her feet, but the next moment, she threw herself forward, and she fell to the ground with a heavy muffled sound.

The door opened suddenly, and someone walked in hastily.

Wei Xiu panicked, she turned her head hastily, desperately trying to get up, so as not to let her embarrassed appearance fall into the eyes of others.But she couldn't stand up, she couldn't stand up at all.

The wheelchair was not far away, just a stone's throw away. She crawled over it, but couldn't reach it no matter what.

The sound of footsteps approached.Wei Xiu wanted to show a calm posture, but how could she be calm.

Someone behind him sighed.

Wei Xiu closed her eyes, her heart sank into a deep valley, and the person she least wanted to see at this moment happened to be by her side.

A pair of hands encircled her body and hugged her easily.
