The Young Emperor and the Fearless

In the 27th year of Fengyu in the Yuanzhi Kingdom, Su Peigang, the commander of the emperor, was appointed as the general of the northern branch to drive the barbarians, and he will lead his troops northward in a few days.The day after the appointment happened to be Su Pei's [-]th birthday. The emperor approved General Su's residence to hold a grand birthday banquet, and he personally visited the door to give presents to celebrate his birthday.

This year, Su Yu was nine years old.

Su Yu's mother once asked him what kind of person he wanted to be when he grew up, and he replied, general.

This is completely influenced by his father.When Su Pei was young, he was full of enthusiasm and wanted to be a general who could kill the enemy and bring fruit, but by accident, he became the commander of the emperor.But he didn't give up because of this, he often paid attention to the frontier wars, read books on the art of war, and even spoke out when the war was tight, making suggestions for the emperor.

Su Pei has very high demands on himself. Every morning when the cock crows and the dog barks, he gets up to practice exercises, rain or shine.

Similarly, Su Pei asked the same for Su Yu.

Su Yu admired his father since he was a child, and obeyed his words. When Su Pei got up, he followed suit.Every day in the courtyard, one can see the figures of one big and one small practicing kung fu.

Every time Su Yu's mother Liu looked at them from afar, she felt mixed feelings.

That day the general's residence held a birthday banquet, because Su Pei knew ahead of time that the emperor was coming, Su Pei practiced faster than before, and when he left the courtyard, the rising sun had just emerged.

Su Pei is gone, but Su Yu has to continue to study hard. He usually has to practice all morning and then study in the afternoon.He has two masters specially invited by Su Pei to teach him. When Su Pei is away, the masters watch him.Even though it was his father's birthday banquet today, and there would be many distinguished guests at their house, Su Yu still had to learn and do what he had to do as before.

Even at the age of nine, Su Yu is not as naughty as other children, he has a temper like his father, and he only cares about doing things.

Near noon, Mrs. Liu came to see him with white fungus soup, dismissed the master who taught martial arts, called Su Yu aside, took Su Yu's hand distressedly, and blew on the wound on his hand that was scratched during martial arts practice .

Su Yu was very interested, raised his face and said, "Mother, Master is teaching me how to use darts. It's very fun. Let me show you."

He pulled out a dart from his sleeve, straightened his posture, and quickly shot it towards a tree beside him.But the strength was too small, it didn't penetrate the tree trunk, and fell down.Su Yu ran over to pick up the flying dart, and said without admitting defeat, "No, I'll try again."

Mrs. Liu held him back, and comforted him: "Don't try it, Yu'er, drink the white fungus soup while it's hot."

The little Su Yu said stubbornly: "Mom, I shot it just now, and there is a hole I made in the trunk."

He made a pose and wanted to shoot again, but Mrs. Liu had nothing to do with him, watching him try once and twice... Finally, on the eighth time, he succeeded.

Su Yu jumped up cheering, grabbed his mother, clapped his hands and shouted: "Mother, mother, did you see that I shot it!"

Liu squatted down and looked at Su Yu at the same level, stroked his head, and said, "My Yu'er is so powerful, awesome!"

Su Yu raised his chin proudly, and said in a childish tone: "I want to be like my father in the future, become a general, fearless of life and death, and serve the country faithfully."

Liu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Fearless of life and death, loyal to the country... Did your father say that?"

Su Yu nodded while drinking the tremella soup.

Mrs. Liu sighed deeply, held his little hand, and said: "It's your father's birthday today, we won't practice qigong, there are many children in the house, after you have lunch, you can play with them in the afternoon."

"But mother, father told me this morning not to be playful, and not to miss today's class."

"It's okay, if your father asks, just tell him that your mother let you play."

"But I don't want to play with other people. I want to practice darts. I want to learn like my master, penetrating into wood." Su Yu ran to the tree and gestured with his hand.

On the dart that Su Yu shot just now, there was an obvious pothole, which was left by the master, and it did penetrate the tree trunk by three points, but now Su Yu, stabbing the tree trunk is a problem.

Liu said: "Yu'er, don't worry, there will be opportunities to practice in the future, but your father's [-]th birthday is only once, so give your father a good birthday, he will go to the barren north soon, it may be a long time Can't see him anymore."

Liu's tone was gentle, and she was full of kindness towards Su Yu, but she had her own worries, but she couldn't express them.Everyone in the Su family was overjoyed at Su Pei's appointment of a general, and she was probably the only one who felt sad and even wept when she was alone.

Su Yu was young and didn't understand the sadness of not being able to see, so he just said: "Father is going to be a hero, dad is happy, and I am happy for dad."

Liu said helplessly: "Okay, Yu'er, listen to your mother, and learn from your father elsewhere. You should have your own ambitions, and you don't have to be a general. There are still many heroic things in this world."

Su Yu was aroused and asked, "Really? Mom, what do the heroes do?"

Liu said dumbly that she knew that men had lofty aspirations in their hearts, and that they were fatally attracted to becoming a unparalleled hero, but most of the great achievements of heroes were only famous in the world after they gave up their own lives.

Liu's daughter's mentality is that she is reluctant to let her most cherished relatives go through life and death, and only wishes them to spend their lives in peace.

Taking advantage of the moment of the luncheon, Mrs. Liu walked towards the backyard while talking to Su Yu.

When she first came here, she heard that the sons of several ministers were playing there.She really hopes that Su Yu can play with other children more. The nine-year-old Su Yu has been bored in the mansion, and does not go to the Chinese Academy or the martial arts training ground. He follows Master Master all day long and has no playmates of the same age. Su Yu doesn't behave like a child at all.

Su Yu said: "Mother, the two masters praised me for being talented and smart. I will show you when I am good at darts."

Mrs. Liu was a little annoyed: "I don't like to hear about dancing with knives and guns. Mother hopes that you will memorize the Four Books and Five Classics and become a civil servant in the future."

Su Yu pursed his lips and said: "But I don't like to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics. I like my master to teach me martial arts, and I prefer my father to teach me martial arts. I will be a military officer and a general."

Su Yu, like his father, has a deep-rooted concept of becoming a general. Liu tried to persuade him several times, but it was useless, but he still persevered in persuading: "Yu'er, your father's words are not necessarily right, and mother is also for your own good."

Su Yu raised his face, frowned, and said, "Father wants me to be a military officer, but mother wants me to do whatever I want, and on the other hand, wants me to be a civil servant. Why don't you discuss it with your parents and give me a final opinion."

Liu said: "You child..."

Completely sounding like an adult, Mrs. Liu was so blocked that she couldn't speak.

In the backyard, a group of children gathered together to chase and fight.

A child in the center looks white and tender, holding a beautiful peony flower in his hand. When he looked over, his eyes were watery, very cute.

Mrs. Liu was asking: "Yu'er, do you have a little girl you like? Tell your mother, I'll make the decision for you and make a baby kiss."

Su Yu retorted: "Mother, I'm only nine years old, don't get engaged."

But when he met the eyes of the child over there, the other party seemed to smile sweetly, Su Yu blushed suddenly, shy and shy, and dared not approach any more.

Mrs. Liu didn't pay attention at first. After walking two steps, she found that Su Yu hadn't followed. She went back and asked, "Yu'er, what's the matter? Are you unwilling to play with them? You are not much different in age, so you can definitely get along well."

Su Yu said: "Just her."

Liu was stunned.

Su Yu pointed over, and continued: "Didn't Mother say that she wants to get engaged to me, so she will be fine."
