Under the cold sky in August, the vast fields are silent. The hot summer has quietly slipped away, leaving behind a desolate scene in the fields after busy farming.
At a glance, both sides of the road were covered with bare wheat stubble fields, with no wheat sheaves or wheat stacks visible. In the harvested pasture, livestock walked back and forth dejectedly. From time to time, flocks of gray finches emerged from the cornfield like a dark cloud.
They rose into the sky and scattered like hailstones on the dusty road.
Suddenly, above your head, a crow cries out in despair and flies away.
As a result, a feeling of desolation will come to your heart, arousing endless sadness in you.
Under the leadership of the city guard captain, Gao Fei came to a cemetery located thirty miles east of Jicheng. He got off his horse and felt sad in his heart.
The setting sun is gradually setting into the earth, and its light shines on the newly buried grave soil, showing a desolate red and yellow color. The dusk curtain becomes darker and darker, and the gloom in the numerous tombs is densely covered. Suddenly a bright moon emerges from
The east rises and changes the color of the tomb, but who can describe how miserable the color of the tomb is at this time?
Seeing this extremely inconspicuous tomb, Gao Fei grabbed the captain who was guarding the city and asked: "Why is Mrs. Gongshu's mausoleum like this? Who is the person who presided over the construction of the mausoleum? How dare you neglect your wife like this?"
"Qi report... Qi report, Lord, it was built by the Prime Minister..."
"Come here, capture Tian Feng immediately!" Gao Fei got angry, pushed away the captain who brought him, and shouted to Lu Heng who was following him.
Lu Heng hurriedly consoled him: "My lord, I can't catch you. Your Majesty the Prime Minister is just following Mrs. Gongshu's last wish. Everyone in Jicheng knows about this..."
"Why didn't I know?"
"Subordinate... I'm afraid that the master will be sad when he mentions his wife..."
"Get out! Get out of here! Get away!" Gao Fei was furious. When he saw Gong Shufei's grave again, his heart was already dark and uncertain.
Lu Heng knew Gao Fei's temper. After all, he had been following Gao Fei for a long time. He immediately asked everyone to retreat and stay away from Gao Fei and the tomb.
Gao Fei knelt on the ground and touched the tombstone. He thought of Gong Shufei's smile. Gradually, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. The pain of losing his wife turned out to be so uncomfortable.
Unknowingly, he shed tears, and the tears dripped into the loess, and he gradually broke down in tears.
Lu Heng and the others looked at it from a distance and vaguely heard Gao Fei's cry. A layer of gloom enveloped everyone's hearts.
"My lord, who has always been ruthless, never thought that he would have such deep feelings for Mrs. Gongshu..." Lu Heng sighed secretly in his heart.
In front of the tomb, Gao Fei picked up a handful of loess and sprinkled it on the tombstone. Then he held the tombstone with his arms for a while, wiped away his tears, then slowly stood up, and then stared at the tombstone again.
After half an hour, he left.
After returning to Jicheng, it was already late at night.
In Prince Yan's palace, Diao Chan and Cai Yan had also gone to bed. As soon as Gao Fei came back from outside, the first thing he thought of was the son Gong Shu Fei gave birth to.
According to the palace gatekeeper, Gongshu Fei gave birth to a son to Gao Fei and then died. Diao Chan adopted Gong Shu Fei's son and treated him as her own.
Therefore, as soon as Gao Fei came back from the palace, he went straight to the room where Diao Chan was.
The journey was smooth, and Gao Fei's return surprised all the palace maids. Before they even had time to report, they had already arrived outside the room where Diao Chan was resting.
"Diao Chan... Diao Chan... Diao Chan..." Gao Fei shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.
Not long after Diao Chan fell asleep, she suddenly heard Gao Fei's voice. She thought it was a dream, so she responded casually. It wasn't until the baby boy cried "Wow" that she woke up.
When Diao Chan opened her eyes, she saw Gao Fei sitting next to her with the baby boy in her arms. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
"Chan'er, it's me who's back. You don't have to doubt that it's not a dream." Gao Fei said softly to the surprised Diao Chan while coaxing the child.
"Husband, you are finally back, Gongshu sister..." Diao Chan hugged Gao Fei's arm, rested her head on Gao Fei's shoulder, and couldn't help crying.
"Mom...father is back?" At this time, the two-year-old girl Gao Qingcheng, who was sleeping in Diao Chan's bed, said in her sleep as she rubbed her hazy eyes.
"Wow...wow...wow..."
The baby boy in Gao Fei's arms kept crying. He didn't have much experience in coaxing children. Although he had children in his previous life, he was too busy with business, so his wife usually took care of the children. In this life, he also had children before.
I have a daughter, but in the end, we spend less time together and more separation.
"Why does he keep crying?" Gao Fei couldn't figure out his son who kept crying and said to Diao Chan with a sad face.
Diao Chan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, hugged her son over, then opened her shirt and breastfed her son. When the milk was sucked into her mouth, her son calmed down and stopped crying.
No more fussing. She smiled and said to Gao Fei: "The child is hungry."
Gao Fei looked at his son who was breastfeeding, and a smile appeared on his face. Suddenly, his sadness came to his heart again. Looking at his son, he thought in his heart: "If the person who is breastfeeding you is your biological mother, then what should I do?"
How many are there?"
"Chan'er, did Xiao Yan also give birth to a son?" Gao Fei suddenly remembered that Cai Yan had given birth to a son for him, and it was the same day as Gongshu Fei's birth date.
"Well, sister Cai Yan did give birth to a son for her husband. He lives in the west hall. Would you like to come over and have a look?"
"It's already very late. There's no need. Let's wait until tomorrow."
After saying the last sentence, Gao Fei reached out to hug Gao Qingcheng, who had been woken up, opened his arms, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Qingcheng, come to daddy, come quickly..."
"Father? Is it really you?" Gao Qingcheng, who was only two years old, stretched out her hand and touched Gao Fei's arm tentatively. After realizing that she was not dreaming, she jumped directly into Gao Fei's arms.
Gao Fei hugged Gao Qingcheng and played with her for a while. After Diao Chan gave her son milk and put him to sleep, he asked, "Have you chosen a name yet?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for my husband to come back to get it." Diao Chan picked up Gao Qingcheng who was tired from playing, held her in her arms, then gently patted Gao Qingcheng's back, and slowly
Gao Qingcheng was put to sleep.
"Oh, so he is the eldest son?" Gao Fei asked again about the eldest son's order.
"Sister Yan gave birth to the eldest son, and sister Fei gave birth to the second son."
"Why is it difficult to give birth?" Gao Fei couldn't understand why he was tortured like this.
"At that time, my sister Fei had a difficult delivery, so I invited the miracle doctor Zhang Zhongjing. He gave me a clear vision and said that only one adult and the baby could be saved. At that time, he asked me whether I wanted to protect the adult or the baby. I said I would protect the adult, but Gongshu Fei insisted on it.
To give birth to this baby, say
I must give birth to a son for my husband. Later, shortly after the baby was born, sister Fei knew it was a boy, took one look at the baby boy and then passed away..." Diao Chan's next words seemed very pale, and the more she spoke, the weaker she became. Finally,
The sound is getting smaller and smaller.
"I understand. From now on, he is your son. Here is the order. No one is allowed to mention this matter in the future. He must be said to be your child. Are you willing to raise him?"
"Yes, where can I find such a lovely son? However, he was born to Sister Fei. If he is not allowed to know who his biological mother is, wouldn't it be worthless for Sister Fei to leave?"
"I am doing this for his own good. I don't want him to know that he is a motherless person. Your love for him is enough. I believe that he will live happily in the future. If Feifei
If you knew, you would also agree with me to do this."
Diao Chan said: "I understand, husband, please give your son a name."
"Gao Lin, just call him Gao Lin!"
"Gao Lin? What's the point?"
"My son is Qilin'er. Now that I have two sons, the eldest son will naturally be named Gao Qi, and the younger son will naturally be named Gao Lin."
"Then what if I give birth to a son for the king in the future? How will the king name him?"
"We'll talk about the rest later. Chan'er, I'm sleepy. It's getting late. Let's sleep together." Gao Fei said.
Diao Chan nodded, and after placing the child, she accompanied Gao Fei to take a bath...
Early the next morning, Gao Fei went to Cai Yan's place and took a personal look at his eldest son, whom he named Gao Qi.
It happened that Cai Yong came and saw Gao Fei sitting there. He seemed very excited and hurriedly said: "See you, my lord!"
"If a family does not speak the same language, Your Highness has no ruler or ministers, only your father-in-law and son-in-law."
After Cai Yong heard this, he admired Gao Fei's broad-mindedness. Later, he learned that Gao Fei came to name his son. Only then did he know that his grandson was named Gao Qi, and the son Gongshu Fei gave birth to was named Gao Lin.
From this inference, Cai Yong can almost conclude that Gao Fei is preparing to proclaim himself emperor.
"Qilin is a divine creature from the sky, not from the earth. If he named his son with Qilin, he must want to be emperor. Qilin comes from the sky. If he named Qilin as his son, wasn't he alluding to Qilin'er?
Is dad great? Is he ready to proclaim himself emperor?" Cai Yong looked confused and secretly speculated.
Gao Fei hugged Gao Qi for a while, and when he saw Cai Yong here, he opened his mouth and asked: "Now that the Yan army has occupied the Central Plains, there are many things that need to be done after the war. One of them is the lack of talents in the Yan country. I don't know what can be done."
Is there any way to find a large number of people who can take on important responsibilities in a short period of time?"
Cai Yong said: "In this way, the lord can issue an order seeking talents. After many people see it, they will definitely sign up enthusiastically."
Gao Fei laughed and said: "Okay, then according to your opinion, the order for seeking talents must be written truthfully. You can draft and set it up and publish it today."
