Successful hereditary replacement means that a new vassal appeared in the Liyang Dynasty. Except for the establishment of the crown prince and the enthronement of the new emperor, there is no major event comparable to this, not to mention that the vassal is still The king of Northern Liang, not only Liangzhou, but also Liangzhou, Youling, is full of lights and festoons. It is almost crazy, and the momentum is still better than the lantern market during the Lantern Festival, in order to please the new king, especially those tyrannical families, who are fighting in the dark. Whose lantern is bigger and more, it feels like someone who dared to hang less, you will have to be informed the next day, and then pulled out and beheaded. The result of constant comparison is that there are more and more festive red lanterns in the portal where there is no shortage of silver. Qingliangshan Prince’s Mansion, there’s not much enthusiasm. The lanterns were temporarily added, but they were much simpler than the holidays in previous years. However, the mansions and servants in the mansion were full of spring breeze, and they walked a little bit lightly. These people were stunned. Huanxi, who doesn't like the great achievements of the new masters in the mansion, who can ascend to heaven alone. If the new king town of the royal palace cannot live in Beiliang and become a situation of deceiving the host, there will be no moisturizing life in the palace.
After the Xu family father and son returned to Liangzhou City from the border checkpoint, they can often see the young patriarch, who changed his name as the King of Liang, walking the mansion with the general. The sharp-eyed people secretly pointed the wrench to the two. In the future, the princess will accompany the father and son more often, so she just ignores it, because there are only a handful of women surnamed Lu in Qingzhou, and Wang Dongxiang, who lost to the female writer too many times, bumps into Lu from time to time. The daughter of the family will help the second princess to push the wheelchair, but when the two are compared, how can everyone in the house be confused? And from the bottom of their hearts, they didn't like the Lu family's woman who lived in the simplest form, she was covered with bronze odor, didn't it just because of the wealth of her family that she got through the gate of the palace by chance? Lin Quan was a **** carrying the flag back then, and everything was not the general charity given to you by the Lu family. Qingliangshan has dispatched clever maidservants to serve two young women. For a long time, the maidservants who worked in the Wangdongxiang courtyard looked down upon the maids in Lu Chengyan’s yard, and the maidservants in the palace in the "Luyuan" had infighting again and began to squint their eyes. Look at those outsider maids who were brought into the mansion by the Lu family. Since ancient times, when there are more women, there are muddy rivers and lakes everywhere.
From the border back to the mansion for a half-year time, today, the two generations of the Xu family, except for Huang Man'er who practiced military and martial arts, gathered in the pavilion on the Tingchao Lake to rest, more than before, Wang Chudong and Lu Chengyan are about to marry. The prospective daughter-in-law of the Xu family, together with the Xu Weixiong sitting in a wheelchair, lacks a Xu Long elephant. This is a little bit of dying and declining, but it can be seen that Xu Xiao's complexion is very good, and his expression is very good. , Presumably because of the satisfaction of both daughter-in-laws. A talent is well-known in the ruling and the opposition, and a natural housekeeper. The important thing is that the two women show no signs of jealousy because one is completely ignorant and the other is clever enough not to do it. The son has them to guard the back house. It is difficult to judge right and wrong without being upright. Xu Xiao, who dismissed the Liangwang identity without authorization, was lazily leaning on the red-painted pillars of the pavilion, listening to Xu Fengnian's question and answer to the Wang family, playful and humorous, making the old man laugh constantly. The little girl from the Wang family said, "Ask you how sad you can be?" Xu Fengnian made up "just as if I was short of money to buy that green ant wine". Wang Chudong smiled and narrowed his eyes into a pair of crescent moons, and asked "Suddenly looking back", Xu Fengnian answered "The boy is climbing a tree", the female writer said that "the belt is getting wider and he won't regret it." The young man who was already the biggest king of Liyang smiled and said, "Go and pick a water tank for the widow." Sitting in a wheelchair, a woman who is more literary than Wang Chudong's mouth also has a warm smile that is not easily detectable. The lady Lu Chengyan, who is carefully infiltrated by the wealthy family, is not smiling, and when she can't help it, she raises it. Hand obscured.
is just a person with poor eyesight, who can tell the position of Wang Chudong, and he naturally approaches Xu Xiao, Xu Fengnian and his son, but Lu Chengyan can only intentionally or unintentionally favor the second princess who is in charge of a courtyard "approving the Red Girl Hanlin".
Xu Xiao smiled and said: "Nian'er, you give a gift to Chengyan, and I will talk to your sister in the early winter."
Xu Fengnian gave a hum, and walked out of the pavilion with Lu Chengyan who had gotten up after hearing this. They just walked all the way to the yard. The two were speechless. Lu Chengyan pressed her lips and followed behind him. When she turned around at the entrance of the courtyard, she was already smiling. Xu Fengnian stopped talking, hesitated for a moment, and said with a chuckle: "You remember to go out more to relax, it’s not good to be bored at home. Northern Liang is not as beautiful as Jiangnan, but we also have the unique scenery of the North, so we don’t ride horses by ourselves. Go and take a look, it's a pity. I should have been with you, but now I am troubled with affairs and tired, and I will go out soon to go to the northwest to clean up the mess of the 200,000 criminal refugees, if I come back. At that time, you are still in the mood, I will take you to Wudang Mountain for a walk."
Lu Chengyan's eyebrows were charming and charming, she blurted out the phoenix character, and hurriedly swallowed the new year character that should have followed him, and said softly: "Northern Liang King, don't be so polite. "
Xu Fengnian made a gesture of tapping her forehead, and said helplessly: "Who is more polite?"
Lu Chengyan raised the corner of her mouth. Xu Fengnian turned around with a smile, then turned around, and she saw her standing in the doorway with her **** twisting her sleeves and not moving, and waved at her before leaving. Xu Fengnian did not see Xu Xiao in the Chaohu Lake, but walked towards the deserted mausoleum of the imperial concubine. After gently walking into the tomb that the outside world said to be "heavy halberds are higher than the kings", he stretched out his hands and gestured across the seats. Strict stone statues are born. At the end, there is a hunchbacked old man sitting obliquely on the tombstone. There are very few old trees in the tomb. It is rumored in Beiliang that it was because the sword spirit of the female sword fairy was too strong, so she passed away, still leaving the majestic atmosphere of the female sword fairy. Therefore, there were not a few trees left in the old mausoleum of the queens. Xu Fengnian heard that when he was young, he could throw beans and become soldiers, and he could even bring people back to life. During that period of time, he used the lamp to read at night, and he almost rummaged through the ancient Buddhist and Taoist books in the Tingchao Pavilion. Master Li Yishan's curse was bloody. It seemed that he wanted to ask for scolding, and no one would scold him anymore, and no one would dare to scold him Xu Fengnian, the king of Beiliang. Xu Xiao heard the footsteps, smiled and said something, there was no more. At this time, there are three members of a family here, he is standing, Xu Xiao is sitting, and the princess of Beiliang is lying down.
Xu Fengnian did not show any sorrow, but stood silently in front of the stele. In early spring, the ancient branches became light yellow and light green. Xu Fengnian walked under the tree, reached out to pluck a leaf, and blew the child’s mother The "Spring God Ballad" taught him, if humming words, then probably means that a country girl left home and went down the mountain, and met a man of his choice, together with white heads. The rickety old man closed his eyes and listened to the familiar little tune, with one hand leisurely tapping on his knee.
After a small song is over, the father and son walked out of the tomb in silence, Xu Xiao suddenly said: "Nian'er, you can let Huang Man'er go home."
Xu Fengnian bit his lip, stopped and quickly followed, nodding.
In Tai'an City, there is still the afterglow after the Lantern Festival, and the streets are full of tourists. In the palace, when the **** Han Shengxuan "died violently in the palace," Song Tanglu, the Daliaosi **** who took over as the chief **** of the palace, was young enough to make people feel terrible. He was responsible for the pasting of spring at the palace gate in the first year of Xiangfu. , Water does not leak. He was originally well-respected in the twelve prisons. After he resigned from the internal prison, he concentrated on handling the duties of the eunuchs in the hands of the eunuch, and gradually became alienated from the many elderly eunuchs who had reached the title of Diaosi. Song Tanglu, the master who gave the name at the time, never went to pay a New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival. Since entering the palace and becoming an eunuch, the teacher must be far better than the father. This is an untouchable rule. Song Tanglu’s hard-earned reputation is just like the one-time copper clepsydra, ticking, and there will always be a day of leaking, but Song Tanglu, who seems extremely clever, doesn’t care about it. Today, he followed a pair of father and son carefully. Go to that tall building, Qin Tianjian, a place where a few words of prophecy will be heard every few years, and all these words and phrases are solemnly written on the lacquer talisman paper, and one is passed down by the Zhao family. The century-old yellow clay box was finally handed over to the emperor after bathing and changing clothes. After reading it, the emperor had to burn it to ashes.
After Song Tanglu became the **** of the palm seal, it was the first time in his life that he took back the mud box from the Qin Tianjian an hour ago, and then His Majesty rushed to the Qin Tianjian with no expression on his face, but Song Tanglu, who had been with the king for several years, knew Since he saw His Majesty, he has never clearly noticed that the Ninth Five-Year Supreme is so happy. When I went to the tall building this time, His Majesty called on His Majesty the Prince. Outside the building, a group of people, old and young, were uneven. After the old prison was dying, it turned out that the one who took over the Qintian prison was not the one with sufficient prestige. Master Hu is a childish child. He was nicknamed the small bookcase by the old supervisor in the past. The Qintian supervisor inside and outside followed and shouted happily, forgetting the child's original name. In addition to Jianzheng who was supposed to be a school-aged private school and the respected Xuhu Song Yujing, there is also a hot new nobleman in Beijing nowadays, a Qingcheng king Wu Lingsu with a purple robe. Now this "king of different surnames" other than Xu Xiao is in the north. The Taoist head of the Taoist door, and Zhao Danping are the same as Yuyiqing, no one laughs at his misleading king's name. Especially the Liyang massacre to destroy the Buddha, and the north Buddhism experienced a catastrophe of extinction. Wu Lingsu lived up to the emperor's fate and personally went to the two Buddhist temples to paste the paper sealing amulet on the main entrance! There are thousands of large and small temples in the north, and the life and death are all at the hands of Wu Lingsu, the north and the south, even if the two real people of the Longhushan Tianshifu are soaring, Wu Lingsu is still aggressive in dealing with the Guanglingdao Buddhist temple at the junction of the north and the south. Hushan could only retreat step by step. Under the eyes of all the people of the world, Huang Zigui, who had the same surname as the emperor, was extremely ashamed.
Qin Tianjian has the honor of not kneeling, and Qingcheng King Wu Lingsu, who looks like a real person, also has this treatment, but after seeing His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness, he still knelt down respectfully, Qin. The Tianjians used to stand and behave in accordance with the usual routine, but when they saw the behavior of the northern capital, they had to kneel down and knock the saint. Only the Xiaojian Zheng never bowed his knees. The emperor of the Zhao family was not angry, but was very happy. Prince Zhao Zhuan quickly stepped forward and squeezed the child’s cheek. The Master Jianzheng, who was nicknamed the Little Bookcase, was a little annoyed. The emperor laughed when he saw this. Prince Zhao Zhuan wandered in front of the bookcase where he needed a ladder to get the books above. Wu Lingsu and Song Yujing were carefully accompanied, but his Royal Highness was famous for being a good-talker, good-tempered and good-hearted in Tai'an City, but Wu and Song were not too cautious. When the prince joked that he liked more girls, and asked Wu Lingsu, who used to flatter the famous officials of the capital, if there is any way to not give birth to a son and a daughter. This made the king of Qingcheng dumbfounded and did not know how to answer his character. The old-fashioned Song Yujing smiled heartily, thinking that His Royal Highness really did not reduce the heart of a child. It was not easy. Having such a prince must be the great blessing of this dynasty.
Outside the , there is an eighty-one white marble road to catch the stars. It abruptly runs six feet away from the attic. The emperor of the Zhao family and the small supervisor are walking back and forth on the white and flawless "beams of heaven and earth", with vigorous eyebrows. The child didn’t seem to be afraid of this middle-aged man sitting in the dragon chair, and the emperor didn’t mind this little thing at all. There are too many people in the world who act as cows and dogs for him, one or two. Those who are not afraid of him, and do not pose any threat to him, it is not a bad thing but a good thing. And the world is not afraid of him at all, there is this small bookcase near, and far away, let alone Beimang Barbarian, away from Yang Chaoye, he can count with one hand, and in the number of hands, there is only one that can make him jealous. ! Then this guy is about to die, how can he not laugh and laugh? The emperor of the Zhao family stretched out a finger, pointed to the northwest of the Dynasty, then retracted into a fist, bent over and cupped his belly, but suppressed and did not laugh. He looked straight at the roof of a hall where three people once drank and talked about heroes. It has created the grand plan of the Liyang Dynasty, and the result is dead! Good death! The oldest one, if he doesn't die, he won't be able to ascend to the throne! That bald donkey died at the Tiemen Pass, and died well enough, but it was a pity that the last one who was about to lie in the coffin, the prince seized his concubine, chose to sit on the sidelines, and hated him even more! In his opinion, the old guy died too late.
The emperor of the Zhao family turned around and touched the head of Qin Tianjian Jianzheng beside him, smiled and asked: "Little bookcase, do you think it is safe to give him a good post, or is it right?"
One is safe and the other is appropriate.
The companion of the monarch is like the companion of the tiger.
If the old foxes in the temple have spent most of their lives trying to figure out the emperor’s heart, they will immediately be able to chew the truth from the words of the king.
Ke Xiao Jianzheng said with a stern look: "Grandpa Jianzheng said before his death that when the new calendar of the Qin Tianjian came out, we robbed those two Buddhist monks in white clothed monks from the almanac that the monks in white clothes had carefully studied. The King of Northern Liang was given a bad posture. It has nothing to do with the posthumous posthumous title. I feel that since the sages said that a gentleman has the beauty of adulthood, it is okay to give a posthumous posthumous title. But the emperor, what do you mean by robbery?"
The emperor of the Zhao family, who looked obscure and changed very quickly, finally showed a friendly smile, muttered to himself, then raised his voice, and smiled: "Jie Hu, it’s the first enemy of your grandfather Jianzheng Huang Longshi. Speaking of it, I want to come and go robbery. By the way, little bookcase, I heard that you play chess well, when will you compete with me on the chessboard?"
Little Bookcase thought for a while, smiled brightly and said: "Grandpa Jianzheng taught me five ways to attack and defend life and death. I can do the first four, but I still don’t understand the turnaround, but Grandpa Jianzheng said. Don’t worry about this. Whenever you understand, you can call the old man Huang to come to Tai’an City to talk. Grandpa Jianzheng also said that if you want Huang Sanjia to be subtracted by one, only two people have a chance, I Count one."
Looking at the child pointing to his innocent appearance, the emperor of the Zhao family, Long Yan, took off a jade pendant hanging from his waist that could be called a priceless jade pendant, and laughed: "Then I will not take it upon myself. It’s okay to give you a jade pendant. Haha, my Liyang is really talented. Huanglongshi, a madman, should have nowhere to depend on old people and no graves for death."
The little bookcase gave a charming smile, holding Yu Pei in both hands, "Then I have seen a lady of the palace, and I like it at a glance. If I can see her next time, Yu Pei will send her off."
Liyang Mingjun, who won the first place with diligence and diligence, smiled and nodded: "The emperor tells you that Yupei will have to wait for you to grow up before giving it to her, and then you will have a wife. Don't worry. , I first helped you find the palace lady and keep it for you."
The little bookcase chick pecked at the rice and nodded vigorously.
The spring breeze was blowing, and the emperor of the Zhao family turned and walked towards the attic, with a sneer from the corner of his mouth. Liyang rewards posthumous posthumous titles according to the law. The posthumous posthumous title is divided into civil and martial arts. The characters start with the orthographic characters, followed by the twenty-four characters such as Zhenzhong Duan Kangyi. Out of the eighteenth class, so there are two sayings: "students should be awarded twenty-four" and "big husbands should be awarded eighteen". In recent years, most of the important ministers of the temples and civil servants have died. Although these old people are not exaggerated to get the title. Zhenzhong has several posthumous titles, but in the eyes of the world, Wenkang Wenyi always can't escape, like the two masters of the Song family, as well as the leader of the Qing party who has gone through three dynasties, Shangzhu Kingdom Lu Feizhi, are all in this list. It’s a pity that these guys are not guaranteed at the end of the festival. Although they are among the twenty-fourth, their posthumous name is extremely low. On the contrary, they are the Lu family of Jiangnan Road, whose family reputation is far lower than that of Song and Lu. Two of the posthumous titles of beauty.
Xu Xiao?
I don’t give you any evil posthumous title, but you have long been stripped of the title of Great Pillar Kingdom, so don’t even think about receiving a posthumous post as a military minister. Moreover, at the 18th military minister, I want to give you a "be generous and generous" One of the most inferior "Martial Li"!
After you die, no matter how courageous you are, I will give you Xu Xiao the last time with a ridicule.
This night, the Qingliangshan Palace, which was used to the old Liangwang’s unbearable fatigue, was nothing unusual. I also felt that maybe I could go to bed together tomorrow, and I would be able to see the old man and the young Liang at some time and place in the house. The scene of Wang taking a walk for relaxation.
In the inner room of the small courtyard where Xu Xiao lives, Xu Weixiong’s wheelchair approached the door, her hands on her legs, tightly clenched. Xu Longxiang hurried home, with his head drooping and standing on the bedside with red eyes.
Looking out from the door, only a figure sitting by the bed can be seen from the back.
The old man lying on the bed tried his best to suppress his cough, and slowly said, "Daddy knows you don’t like Xu Xiao, who only knows how to talk and talk. Yeah, your dad is very good at using a knife and a gun. He is indeed not a reasonable person, and Dad doesn’t like it very much. For so many years, Dad has been a rough man who beats anyone who scolds me. Nian'er, dad doesn’t say this, if he doesn’t finish his words, I don’t worry about you. Remember, since you are in the position of King of the Northern Liang, you must be able to hear what you don’t want to hear, and tolerate yourself. The people you like, the same rice raises all kinds of people, each has its own difficulties, and also has its own love, hatred and temperament, especially those who don’t remember other people’s goodness. Many times you have to bear it. Who makes you be The King of the North Liang is not about to lose to someone, but to take care of the overall situation. Father has been a general and the King of the North Liang for so many years, and there are many aggrieved things, and he can't tell anyone. This is nothing. Remember. Back then, I took a group of old brothers out of Jinzhou’s Xialiang Liao Dynasty. I was brutally murdered by a Liyang lieutenant with power. Many of my brothers died. In angrily, I brought more than 40 surviving brothers and killed them to his house. Naturally It’s not to eat and drink, but to kill his whole family, tie them all into zongzi and drag them to the yard. You know what happened then? That guy’s called Cai Qinghe, and no one remembers him now, Cai Qinghe. Climbing in the officialdom, unscrupulous, this guy was cold-blooded and ruthless when he was a man. He said that two soldiers and horses were advancing and retreating together. In the end, the 800 people who watched me die and carried two thousand enemies, none of them took his more than one thousand. I was thrown into the battlefield, and he gave me a message afterwards, saying that he would rather not have military merits than let Xu Xiao take the position. Such a hero, before he died, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me, saying that as long as he let his wife and children go, he I am willing to kill myself, and I am not afraid of a thousand swords. In the end, of course I did not promise him. There were 30 young and old in the house, all of them were killed in front of him, because I still had 40 brothers standing behind Xu Xiao. , And if I don’t do this, there will be a second Wang Qinghe and a third Song Qinghe jumping out to entrap me in the future. Xu Xiao may not be afraid of death, but I am afraid that my brother will die for me! Many people died. As long as Xu Xiao survives for a day, I owe the old brothers who left early."
"When did Daddy start to be afraid of death? It was after marrying your mother. In the world where Daddy lives is much easier to die than to live, you may not die if you are afraid of death, but you must die if you are not afraid of death. There have been too many dead people like this, and many of them died at the hands of Dad. But the older Dad is, the less he dared to kill. Dad told himself that regardless of himself, he must accumulate virtue and blessings for the four of your children, yes. Isn’t this true? No matter how old and rough, Dad knows that being a parent in the world is very good for his children, and he never left a good reason for himself! Dad, a little bit ignorant, too much ignorant than you were when you were a child Many, I just know that I am confused, thinking about the outside world all day long, I can’t wait to leave home for a long time, no matter what home I will think of, after the two old people left, they didn’t even realize that they had a home. I have to die outside, and I won’t go back to that small place when I was killed. Later I met your mother and tricked your mother into the house, and I realized where she was and where my home was. , With you, she left, she felt like where you were, where is your home. Our home is not the same as many others, our home, the other way around, it’s your mother who sings and pretends to be a villain, dad. , Just protect you, your mother rarely gets angry. Father remembers very clearly once. When he was a child, he told you that when his father and mother were not around, who bullied you, you would fight back. , You can slash with a knife if you can afford it. Your mother made a big fire. At first, Dad thought that he was a child who is so kind. Who would dare to bully my son and prevent him from lying on the bed? My son let someone else's son lie down, and Xu Xiao, a father, let them lie down together. This is the old Xu family's principle! After your mother got angry, she calmly told me that she was not willing Others bully Xiaonian, but after the young year, they are destined to be children who are not ordinary people. If they develop a too fierce and perverse character, they never know that they are kind to others, and they don't understand that it is a blessing to suffer a loss. In the end, it will be their own children who will suffer a great loss. Say you Xu Xiao will always die of old age, and no one will protect Xiaonian by that time, what should you do? Your mother left early, and father is the most unruly fellow who can't teach you anything, so I will keep it in mind. A word your mother said, habitual child is like killing a child. In the new year, when you were angry with you several times, it was not your father who blamed you, but your father was blaming yourself for failing to do your duty as a father. You were always unwilling to do it before. Call my dad, dad is really not angry, every time you beat him with a broomstick, every time you hit him, it hurts more and more, you know that dad is old and you have grown up. This is a great thing. ."
The old man’s speech was intermittent, always interrupted by a gasp and a hard cough.
The young figure from the back, without words, just held the hands of the old man on the bed with both hands.
An old man who has never shed tears in front of any of his children. This old martial artist, who was scolded by the ruling and the public for being a slaughter, is finally here today. The tears are not stopped. The old man wants to wipe it off, and his spirit is already exhausted. , And there is no strength to raise his hand.
And the young man who couldn't even see his sister and brother, didn't even dare to take out a hand to wipe away the tears of the old man, fearing that if he let go, the old man would really leave.
"Being an emperor is called a lonely family. It is a difference between monarchs and ministers. Moreover, after being an emperor for a long time, I really don’t think of being an emperor. I really think it’s a bullshit. We made this by ourselves. The King of Northern Liang is inseparable from the emperor. Nian'er, let’s say nothing else, it feels uncomfortable to be lonely and widowed. Dad has tasted it, and I don’t even want you to go this old road. So I let the Yanjiexi family go and let them When he went to the capital to be a relative of the emperor, he never regretted it. Xu Xiao even dared to scold him to death. How could he put a pedantic literati in his eyes? Dad just didn’t want you to turn against the Yan Chiji brothers. Destined not to be brothers, it’s okay to let you have a good thought~ IndoMTL.com~ The happiest thing in these years, father is going home from the border, seeing you all is good, and then occasionally dreaming To your mother. I, Xu Xiao, have been owing her all her life since your mother promised to marry me. The only place my father complained about her is that she left early. In fact, the husband and wife, whoever left afterwards, is more bitter. This suffering does not mean to work hard for the family business. It is what our elders should do. It’s just that many times there are good things, and no one around me can say a few words, or I miss her very much. Can't you see her, isn't it? The world is huge, and Dad has seen many people in many places, but in Dad’s eyes, there is always only your mother."
Xu Weixiong at the door closed his lips with a fist, still crying.
"The loquat tree in the yard was planted by your mother when she got here. Later, there will be loquats, and it happens to miss your father and your mother. Remember to pick some of them and put them on the grave."
"Nian'er, father gave you your second sister and Huang Man'er to take care of, and our Xu family, our Xu family’s 300,000 iron knights, you will have to carry them all by yourself in the future. You will Very tired, don’t blame Dad for letting you take this burden."
The young figure nodded.
Huang Man'er raised his arm, covered his face, and whimpered softly.
After the old man said that tonight is also the last word in his life, Xu Weixiong threw himself out of the wheelchair and cried loudly.
The young figure raised his head.
, with his back to his siblings, he just opened his mouth wide, crying silently, for fear that he might disturb the old man who closed his eyes.
The old man finally said: "Daddy sleeps for a while."
