The Young Emperor and the Fearless

During the 30 years of prosperity in the Yuanzhi Kingdom, disasters occurred frequently.

After the beginning of summer, there were several floods, the river dam broke its embankment, and countless crops were flooded, followed by locust plagues and drought... Misfortunes never come singly, and the people complained endlessly.

After the winter, the weather was surprisingly cold. Just because of this snowstorm, the booklets handed out from all over the country can fill the dragon cases, and the contents of the booklets are almost the same—countless people died of freezing, and livestock died too. Quite a few asked for disaster relief and food distribution.

In addition, there is also bad news from the barbarian north—the barbarian riots in the wild north. General Su and more than 80 soldiers with him died in an ambush.

This winter, heavy snow.

The capital has not experienced such a heavy snowfall in decades. It lasted for five days and five nights without stopping.

The Su Mansion had just finished a funeral without an owner, everyone from top to bottom fell silent, swept the snow silently, and each retreated.The maid next to her was one more thing, bringing hot tea to the master to warm her body.

Liu Shi and Su Yu were in the study, surrounded by the stove, warming their hands while studying their homework.

One person memorizes, one person listens.

Su Yu's crisp voice was particularly loud in the study, and it sounded a little hoarse. He has passed the age of nine and is about to wear his hair.

The study was extremely warm, and after a stick of incense, Su Yu said loudly, "Mother, I'm done reciting."

But Mrs. Liu seemed to have never heard of it, and stared at the door in a daze through the crack of the door.

Su Yu raised his voice and repeated again: "Mom, I'm done reciting."

Liu returned to God and said, "Really, Yu'er is really good."

Su Yu said with a stern face: "Mom, you didn't listen to my endorsement at all, you are too perfunctory!"

Liu said: "Yu'er, I'm sorry, mother is thinking about something."

Su Yu leaned over and said with concern: "Mom, what are you thinking?"

Mrs. Liu said: "I heard that since your highness came back from the wild north, he has been depressed. The emperor feels that he owes him a lot. In the past two days, he has been looking for personal guards for his highness. I have sent a message for him to report to the emperor. I recommend you."

Su Yu said dissatisfied: "Mom, I don't want to be a guard."

Liu said: "Yu'er, be obedient, there is nothing wrong with being a bodyguard. Your father...was also born as a bodyguard."

Su Yu said: "Mother, don't bully me. Dad was a commander at the beginning, and later he was promoted to be the commander of the emperor. It was the emperor who thought of his literary talent and military strategy, so he named him General Zhenbei. I want to be like my father." , to be a general!"

The 12-year-old Su Yu was full of enthusiasm, as if the next moment, he really became a general, galloping across the battlefield, attacking the city like a broken bamboo, and invincible like a god of war.

Liu bit her lips, and said desolately: "Yu'er, don't you want to die in battle just like your father?"

Three months ago, when the news of Su Pei's sacrifice came back, Mrs. Liu fainted on the spot. Since then, she has been depressed and depressed all day long.Since Su Pei went to war, during the three years, Mrs. Liu seldom slept soundly. She burned incense and worshiped Buddha every day, just to pray for people to return safely, but in the end, people still failed to come back...

Su Yu defended in a low voice: "Even if Dad dies in battle, he is still an indomitable hero. I am proud of Dad."

Liu covered her mouth and said tremblingly, "Who taught you these fallacies! Being a hero can be more important than your own life, and being able to be more important than your family!"

Su Yu said: "Mom, I'm not afraid of death..."

Mrs. Liu shouted: "I'm afraid you're dead, so what if I'm left alone! Your father went to be his hero and left his life in the barren north. His body can't be found. You still want to go with me, do you want to go?" I will die with you too, you will be happy!"

With a sound of 'crack', the sparks from the stove splashed out and landed on the hands of the two, but they didn't feel it was hot.

Mrs. Liu has never yelled at Su Yu like this. She endured it for many years, trying to change his mind slowly, but in fact, no matter how hard she tried to persuade him, Su Yu's mind never wavered.

The Su family lost the head of the family, she lost her husband, and Su Yu lost her father.

In the past three months, she wanted to follow countless times, but thinking of Su Yu, she still gritted her teeth and persisted.She doesn't want Su Yu to repeat the same mistakes and follow his father's path. She just wants them to live well. It doesn't matter if life is a little bit harder, but why is it so difficult...

Liu held back tears for three months, and finally burst out.

After careful calculation, it was actually more than three months. In retrospect, it was the moment when Su Pei was appointed as the general of the northern branch to drive the barbarians three years ago.She was worried all the time, but as a woman, she wanted to take care of her husband and children, so she couldn't say no, and she couldn't use her own selfishness to block their future.

But Mrs. Liu doesn't want them one or two to scramble to be the first to work hard, and to be proud of their future!

Liu Shi is a restrained woman, she didn't make a sound when she cried, pinched her arm vigorously, suppressed it, and didn't even notice a bloody gash.

There was silence in the study, and Su Yu felt his mother's grief, and his voice became weaker: "Mother..."

He is too young to understand the meaning of death, and he has not yet experienced the pain of not having a father.So much so that he knew that his father had passed away and would never appear again, and he would only think that his father died bravely and got what he wanted.

This kind of thinking was instilled in him by Su Pei since he was a child. A man should give up his life for righteousness and contribute to the country.

But Su Yu is still a filial son after all, and he must never see his mother's tears. When Mrs. Liu cried, he suddenly lost his mind, and his heart softened and he lost his previous persistence.

Liu choked with sobs, and softly said: "This time, I will listen to my mother, okay, Yu'er?"

**

Su Yu was quickly summoned by the first emperor.

The late emperor, who was busy with everything, had long forgotten that he asked Su Pei's name at the birthday banquet three years ago, and asked him again.

Su Yu said: "My name is Su Yu, the son of Su Pei, the general who expelled the barbarians from the North Branch."

This time without Su Pei beside him, he was full of fear for this high and mighty emperor, and he no longer spoke boldly, but cautiously.

Only then did he realize how good it would be if his father was still around.

Without support, reality is like a ruthless whip, forcing people to grow up.Su Yu realized later that he is the only man in the family now, and he wants to protect his mother instead of his father. He can no longer act arbitrarily, thinking only about his own ambitions, regardless of the consequences.

That's why he compromised with his mother.

That was also the first time Su Yu and Heli met so close.

Su Yu forgot that he pointed at He Li and asked his mother to marry him three years ago, and He Li also forgot the unsuccessful planting.The two looked each other over with scrutiny.
