Picking chrysanthemum

"Yuan Song surrendered? Shi Li was wounded and surrendered without a fight?" Xun You murmured, the intention of the court to write these words was to show how generous and benevolent the emperor would be if he did not kill the enemy, and how wise the two of them surrendered, etc., but Xun You only I find it unbelievable, as if the so-called conquest is just a joke between children, and in the end the two parties reconciled.

Xun You didn't believe that Yuan Song and Shi Li would betray Gao Fan easily, but why did the emperor believe it?Isn't this a fake thing?

Regardless of whether the surrender was true or not, just judging from Gao Fan's series of thoughtful arrangements, his "death" looks like a premeditated plan.

"Maybe he is cheating death, he would rather have a plan." Thinking of this, Xun You let out a few breaths.

Walking on the street, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, his mood gradually became happier, and his steps became brisk.Xun You suddenly remembered the "poison" that Gao Fan fed him. Obviously he had been poisoned by slow poisoning early in the morning, but Gao Fan didn't point it out. Instead, he tricked himself into drinking the antidote. He knew who poisoned him, but he would rather Bearing the infamy of "poisoning" made him hate him, but he didn't understand. Either that person was very close to Gao Fan and he chose to hide it, or the truth was irrelevant or, shocking.There are not many people who are acquainted with me, and there are even fewer people who are close to me. Other than myself and Gao Fan, the only people who can intervene in the diet and change the tea leaves are——

Xun You bit his lip, holding back the anger that could make him gnash his teeth, he wanted to go back to the Grand Master's Mansion to inquire and make a decision!

Xun Hu had a rest today, so he got up late, and when he finished washing and was about to go to the hall for breakfast, the sky had already dawned for more than an hour.He didn't know that Xun You had returned until he arrived in the hall.

The elder pointed to the side, and said calmly: "Before you wrote a letter and said you were going out for a walk, why did you come back so soon and think about it? Now that you are back, forget about the right and wrong, and think about the way ahead. Let's go, how to earn your own future... It's hard for people to speak when they are old. I think you are obedient and only listen to three points. "

Xun You was holding the edge of the bowl in his left hand, but his right hand was in his bosom, and he refused to take it out.He stared at the dining table, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Why did you order the kitchen to cook so many dishes?"

Xun Hu finished his bowl before he said, "Probably because I was hungry when I was young, and later I always worried about adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks when eating alone, so I might as well prepare more."

Xun Hu's tone was indescribably kind and somewhat pitiful. Xun You couldn't accept his compensatory care for a while, so she just put aside her job and said, "You can invite your aunts over for a gathering. It's a waste of so many Xun You made no secret of his indifference and alienation. He took out the wooden sign in his arms and placed it on Xun Hu's dining table, saying: "You may not know that when you are plotting against me and Gao Fan I also calculated myself, I, Xun Youjie, a scholar, have no abilities, can't wield knives and guns, and can't play tricks, but I am your son, the only son, you should have thought a long time ago that I will never give affection to others in this life! I have lost my heir, and no one will come to worship you after a hundred years, even though your name will last forever, you are still a poor wretch who is inseparable!"

Xun Hu was so angry that he slapped the table. He stared at Xun You, as if meeting this unworthy son for the first time, and then he said: "If your mother is alive, she will definitely discipline you for me! Look at you, what are you doing now?" ? You are questioning the father who gave birth to you and raised you for a man! And this man is an enemy, a dead man!"

Xun You carefully wiped the dust on the wooden sign, especially the crooked inscriptions engraved in the middle, his movements were very gentle, but his mouth was merciless: "It is the stubborn and ungrateful person you said. When A Niang died, she comforted me and accompanied me. What were you doing at that time? You were anxious to consolidate your position above ten thousand people. Those people who flattered you and gave you a warm bed would all be included in the mansion, and you would completely forget about it. A Niang, her bones are not yet cold. It is your desire for profit that ruined the relationship between husband and wife for decades. You are still in power, and you still don't want to repent. Saying, "The emperor cut the weeds and eradicated the roots. When Gao Fan was forced to rebel by you, you were the one with unique insight. You clearly knew every move of Gao Fan and me in Luoyang, but you quietly waited for the opportunity to take advantage of it. Then you discovered that Gao Fan You can't do it with such caution, but you can achieve your goal by using his trust in me. You put poison on my diet and Gao Fan's diet, he expected you to be in the dark, but he didn't expect you to have such a move. "

Xun You couldn't help sneering: "Today, I have fully understood why you have no foundation and no support in Daqi, but it only took you 20 years to gain a firm foothold and become a hot figure in the court. You really deserve to be my Daqi." Qi's Grand Master!"

"Niezi! Everything I do is not for you. Without me, where does your future come from! Without me, even this meal will become your dream!"

"Then your plan is doomed to fail! I'm here today to tell you that I, Xun You, don't care about the power that you have held for half your life, let alone your protection!" Xun You picked up the wooden sign that had been polished, turned around and walked away. Walk.

Xun Hu shouted: "Nizi, where are you going!"

"Of course I went to find him."

"You want to die?!"

"Of course, no, let's take one last look at him first." Xun You turned slightly sideways so that he could see Xun Hu's reaction clearly.

Xun Hu laughed and said, "You just want to irritate me by saying so much so that I can find out the truth? I can tell you clearly that Gao Fan, the traitor king, is dead. If you want to see it, I will take you there and put an end to your thoughts!"

Xun You clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling non-stop, a flame that had finally risen in his heart swayed in the violent wind and rain, the temperature of the spark was nothing compared to the coldness of his heart.

Xun You cheered himself up, Gao Fan must be fine, all this was just for the emperor to see, or the emperor couldn't find him, so he simply confirmed his death, it must be like this, Gao Fan can't die, no possible!

However, when Xun You saw the thin coffin, the mutilated limbs, the former emperor's sword, Gao Fan's armor... and even the jade pendant, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and wept loudly like a survivor.

The author has something to say:

To be continued. . .

Thorn history

The coffin was parked in a Buddhist temple and could not be buried because there was no emperor's decree.The garrisoned guards surrounded the inner and outer three floors of the Buddhist temple, and the pilgrims in the temple were also expelled a few days ago.The emperor hated Gao Fan very much. If the queen mother hadn't forced him to die, the corpse would have been exposed to the sun by now.The emperor didn't care about displaying the corpse in the Buddhist temple. Although Wu Zuo had done embalming, the stench was still fermented and could be heard clearly.

So the grand master covered his nose and went out after only one glance.

Life and death are fate, this is a common saying, but there is always a reason for a person's death, and no one can escape the final conclusion.When the first emperor came to heaven, Xun You regretted that he was born in the emperor's family and did not escape the conspiracy.When Xun's mother passed away, Xun You knew that she died of discouragement, of infatuation and wrong payment.But Gao Fan's death, Xun You couldn't give a conclusion, also, he never thought that that person would disappear in this world.Xun You leaned against the coffin, wandering into the sky.He thought of Gao Fan's high-spiritedness, which seemed to have been the case since he was a child. No wonder his admirers were like Guo Jiang Zhiqing, and there were many political enemies.

Xun You came back to her senses, and sighed, it turned out that Gao Fan showed his sharpness too much.

If Gao Fan is idle and has no power, no need to worry about food and drink, and no need to be trapped in battle, he may spend the rest of his life leisurely and leisurely with Xun You, thinking about love and romance.It's just like this, it's even more impossible for an aspiring scholar and a dandy prince to have any intersection.

Xun You let thousands of thoughts occupy his mind, and after relieving the heartache, he finally calmed down again.

Having never seen it with his own eyes, he still refused to accept the news of Gao Fan's death, not to mention he vaguely realized that as long as there was an opportunity for him to grasp a certain point in his mind, he could convince himself.

"If you're still alive, why didn't you come to me?"

Xun You was going to find someone to find out. Before leaving, he stared at the body in the coffin for a long time before he turned his head away.

Seeing Xun You come out, Xun Hu felt lucky in his heart, he only had this one son, and he believed that Xun You would eventually abandon those vain love affairs like him and do something beneficial to the family.

Xun You's words did not disappoint Xun Hu, he said: "I will succeed you as the foundation of the Xun family in the imperial court, and I should repay your kindness of upbringing."

"At the same time, I also hope that you don't stop me until I know the cause of his death."

Xun Hu has seen Xun You's stubbornness and knows that he has hope.It's just that even the queen mother is convinced that the person is gone, so Xun You is just deceiving herself.

Xun Hu's eyes closed and opened again, and just now he thought of the lofty heights of the Xun family in Luoyang in the past, how many generations it would take to restore that splendor.

He patted Xun You on the shoulder, determined to make a big move.He said: "Why do you think His Majesty is convinced that he is dead based on an unrecognizable corpse?"

Xun You frowned and said, "Why?"

"Your Majesty has already made arrangements to send troops to fight against him on the surface, but to order the traitors to poison him secretly."

"Damn, poison." Will he only use these dirty tricks?

Xun You stared at the ground, half-closed his sharp eyes, and his tone was particularly sarcastic.

Xun Hu didn't care, and said: "Wu Cheng's army is maintained by him alone, so as long as he dies, the victory of this battle will definitely belong to the court. You also stayed by his side and knew about his poisoning, so you came back to question me. , but you don’t know, what His Majesty has poisoned is the real strange poison, and those who are poisoned can’t live for three months.”

Xun You sneered and said: "Since you can poison yourself close to you, why not use a red crane to kill you with one blow, and you will never die again?"
