Biography of Haiguo

It is publicized everywhere with great fanfare, but now it is the Southwest military government that is publicized everywhere, but it is the Gaochang royal family that keeps the secret.Jin Wen, I think... Maybe Shen Changhe did it on purpose? "

"There is such a possibility. But Mr. Chief, no matter whether Shen Changhe was really captured or pretended to be in the trap, he will never cooperate with us." Ma Jinwen said in a deep voice: "This subordinate knows that you only have two goals in your life, sir. : One is the unity of the country, the other is a democratic republic; for you, and also for the common ideal in the hearts of the subordinates, that’s why the subordinates swallowed their anger and worked as minions under Chen Qiming in order to get closer to the center of power. According to me, Shen Changhe As far as I know, although he publicly supports the republic this time, judging from the system of the Southwest Military Government itself, he is an out-and-out dictator——Sir, the political ideas between the two of you are very different, even if If he doesn't join forces with Chen Xining at this time, it will definitely be a big obstacle for us in the future."

"Then according to Jin Wen's opinion, how should I deal with myself?"

"The backing behind the Southwestern military government is the United States of Jalica, and Shen Changhe himself has a close personal relationship with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Jalica, so Oceania, the old enemy of Jalica, must have a bad relationship with him. In addition, he has done many This time, he expressed his dislike for the colonists of Japan in the media, so Japan will definitely not treat him. Next, we may unite with Oceania, or we can cooperate with Japan..."

"Tokyo absolutely can't do it!"

Lin Xuehuai resolutely shouted: "On this point, Shen Changhe and I have the same attitude - we must never cooperate with the Japanese devils. Don't mention this matter again!"

"Then we can only cooperate with Oceania." Ma Jinwen sighed, and said, "Mr. Chief, my subordinates will handle this matter immediately. Please start preparing, sir. After all, it is very likely that Chen Xining has already cooperated with Dongying People are ganging up."

"Jin Wen."

Lin Xuehuai said solemnly: "If you betray your own nation for the mere victory or defeat, you are a traitor of Qin and a traitor of the country. Not only you and I know this truth, but everyone in the country, even women and children, knows it! Daqin has been in internal and external troubles for a long time Well, the republic on the surface cannot reverse the declining trend of our country's fortunes. The president knows, I know, every high-ranking official in the government knows, but no one can pierce this layer of window paper. But now coupled with the rampant plague , to make matters worse, the Japanese devils will attack us sooner or later, we... can no longer fight among ourselves."

He paused, and added: "I think Shen Changhe is different from Xiao Ziye after all. Xiao Ziye is shrewd in small things but confused in big things. Shen Changhe has never been confused in big things. From the last joint meeting of nations, he successfully prevented When Fusang's conspiracy to carve up my territory succeeded, my opinion of him had already changed; I went to speak out for the students in front of the presidential palace, and protected the people in the Republic Square. Now I can say that I have a good impression of him. So this time I If you want to cooperate with the Southwest Military Government, at least you don’t want to be their enemy—the top priority is to solve the smallpox epidemic internally as soon as possible and prevent Fusang externally, which is the right way.”

The Gaochang Empire, the former site of the Zoroastrian Temple, the underground corridor.

Shen Rufeng was brought in blindfolded.In the silent corridor, only the sound of drafts and her own footsteps could be heard. She clenched her fingers nervously and asked the maid who was supporting her, "How is brother?"

"Reporting to Master Guoshi, Your Majesty said, you will find out when you go and have a look." The maid spoke softly, but kept her secret.Shen Rufeng didn't ask any more questions, and they led them away.

After an unknown amount of time, the maids finally stopped.The door was opened, and after entering the door, someone took off the blindfold for her, and the warm sunshine slanted on her face. Shen Rufeng, who had not seen the sun for many days, instinctively rubbed her eyes, and it took a long time before she could barely see clearly. scene.

"elder brother!"

There was an exclamation.It wasn't because of the excitement of "reuniting after a long absence" with his own brother, but because compared to the last time the two met, the current Shen Changhe has lost a lot, and he is already so emaciated that he looks like a ghost.

"...You, how did you...become like this..." Shen Rufeng tremblingly stretched out his hand to touch his cheek, and said in pain, "They tortured you?"

Shen Changhe still closed his eyes and did not answer, as if he had fallen into a coma.Shen Rufeng gently brushed away a strand of hair that fell on the side of his face, and observed him carefully.

A long time ago, she had heard some rumors about Shen Changhe.These rumors are various, but most of them are related to his appearance—he is also the descendant of Yaros, the former leader of Zoroastrianism and the former first minister of Gaochang. Ordinary people, oblivious to everyone.When I saw it today, the rumors were actually true.

——As a big man, Shen Changhe's eyelashes are too long, and when he closes his eyes, the lower eyelids are densely covered with a thick layer of ink.For some reason, Shen Rufeng always felt close to this man whom he had never met before, for no reason, maybe it was because of the blood connection.

Tick.

A tear slowly slid down the side of her face and landed gently on the ground.The man's long eyelashes trembled, and he finally opened his eyes. There was only a strange emptiness in the green eyes: "Like the wind?"

Shen Rufeng raised his head in astonishment, and asked in both surprise and joy: "Brother? You, do you agree to recognize me as a younger sister?"

Shen Changhe nodded, slowly raised his bony hand, stroked her cheek lightly, wiped away the tears that kept rolling down for her, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry for making you suffer. Wronged. Rufeng, will you blame me for defeating Gaochang and recovering Jiashi?"

"How could it be...Brother, don't talk about it, I feel really uncomfortable." Shen Rufeng choked up and said: "The two countries are at war, and you and I are just masters, so there is nothing wrong with it."

"Since you don't blame me, why are you crying?" Shen Changhe took her hand with his hand, and joked comfortingly: "I am living well? I am not missing an arm or a leg."

"But why have you become so thin? I heard from Farhad that you have been refusing to eat or drink. Could it be that you want to die..."

"Hahahaha, begging to die? The little emperor told you, right?"

Shen Changhe laughed loudly, and then coughed a few times uncontrollably: "He wants me to be the leader of the puppet, but what about you? What should you do? Not to mention that I don't care about the position of leader of this shit at all, let alone once I If you agree, you, the current bishop, will abdicate. Zoroastrianism implements life tenure for the leader, and those who apostate and leave the leader must be martyred—why, do you want me to watch you die for this stupid religion?"

"Brother..." A thin layer of mist rose from Shen Rufeng's eyes again, and his voice became crying again.

Not without aggrieved.

As far as she can remember, she was raised by the Gaochang royal family.The former emperor Csul Cyrus, who was Farhad's father, treated her as his own, and when she became an adult, he even tried to make her a Protestant archbishop.It was precisely because of this relationship that she reciprocated by taking care of Farhad like raising her own children, teaching him bit by bit how to be a good emperor.

Over the years, she asked herself that she had never done anything wrong to Farhad or the Gaochang royal family.But even so, Farhad still didn't trust her, and repeatedly suspected that she would not speak up, and now he even wanted someone to replace his bishop's seat.In the end, it was the elder brother in front of him who hadn't met much and lived in an enemy country who was still concerned about his own future and life: This is really, a great irony!

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more sad, Shen Changhe interrupted at the right time: "Rufeng, do you know what day it is today?"

"What?" Shen Rufeng was a little dazed, unable to react for a moment.Shen Changhe didn't answer immediately, but stood up slowly while leaning on the table, walked to the wall and knocked.Just now when he was sitting still, Shen Rufeng hadn't noticed that under this body, a few iron chains that were originally covered by the hem of the sleeves of the wide robe were exposed, and there was a harsh sound of impact.

Facing the scene in front of him, Shen Rufeng was completely stunned.During these days, she has been under house arrest by Farhad in the deep palace, and she was released this time only because Farhad asked her to persuade Shen Changhe, who "hunger strikes and commits suicide", that's all; therefore, in her In his imagination, Shen Changhe was at best under house arrest like her, but he never imagined that Farhad would treat him so harshly!

What shocked her even more was that some bright red blood had already leaked from the hem of his snow-white clothes—it was bright red, not dark red, which meant it was bleeding all the time!

"Brother, what's wrong with your legs?! Are they..."

Shen Changhe wrote lightly: "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury."

At this time, the soldiers on duty outside also brought in a delicate little basket.The question that Shen Rufeng had just reached his mouth turned around and changed to another question temporarily: "What is this?"

"Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the Daqin traditional calendar, the Lantern Festival, and it is also a day for family reunion." Shen Changhe said with a smile: "Limited by objective conditions, if my brother wants to spend the Lantern Festival with his sister, he can only be generous to others." .”

After that, he naturally opened the lid of the basket, and carefully placed the steaming porcelain bowl in front of Shen Rufeng: "When I was still in Taiyuan, everyone would eat some glutinous rice balls to celebrate festivals at this time—Rufeng, you Try it too."

Farhad finally felt better.

For no other reason than that almost everything he has done since the beginning of the war has been wrong except this decision.
