In fact, Li Yanxian has been fighting alone, and he has never had much friendship with Wu Jieping. They only cooperated during the Northern Expedition. However, Li Yanxian is arrogant and generous, and feels that his failure to express his care for his elders when his colleague's unlucky child comes here is really destroying his principles of life.
.
So early on the next morning, the two brothers Wu Gong and Wu Fu felt the spring breeze of care and encouragement in the cold weather, which made them both doubt Wu Jie's judgment: This is called being aloof and difficult to coordinate, dad
Are you a little resentful because Prince Jin is ranked ahead of you?
I didn't think about it anymore, since I paid homage to Prince Jin, the Zong Zongzhifu also had to pay homage to him.
But no matter what one’s personal plans are, the New Year of the 13th year of Jianyan is still coming. The ancient city of Taiyuan was besieged during the Jingkang period, and the people were in dire straits. But it has to be said that human recovery power is unlimited, and now everyone in the inner city is singing and rejoicing.
Dance, fireworks to welcome the new year, lanterns and lion dance, it was so lively. The Wu brothers couldn't go home, so naturally they had a family reunion dinner with the Li family. However, these days, they pay attention to ancestor worship after the new year, so naturally they can't be together.
Although Mrs. Guo was angry with Li Yanxian, there was no need to embarrass their good children. She specially set aside a small courtyard for them to prepare incense, candles and small cauldrons for separate memorials.
Wu Gong led Wu Fu to make offerings to his ancestors, and then kowtowed several times respectfully towards Yan'an Mansion, wishing his elders happiness, longevity and health.
After everything was done, the two of them listened to the bustle outside and watched the New Year's Eve. Wu Gong saw Wu Fu absent-mindedly and said with a smile: "Second brother, I heard that there is no curfew in Taiyuan Prefecture today. You can set off firecrackers and eat rice cakes all night long. If you can't stay any longer,
, I’ll go shopping with you.”
Wu Fu was a little awkward and said: "What did you say, brother? How can I be so intolerable to loneliness during the New Year's Eve?"
Wu Gong was very fond of his younger brother who also served as his eldest nephew, and he liked Dou Yidian even more. He thought to himself that if you can endure the loneliness, Monk Dahui clearly asked us to spend the New Year together at Chongshan Temple before setting off again. You must
Why did we come to the Jin Prince's residence? We didn't have much money, so we had to pool our money together to buy some gifts. However, we have experienced a lot in the past year. After all, he didn't look like a child anymore, so he said: "That's right, in Mongolia."
During the festival, I would watch them drink wine, wrestle over the bonfire, and sing songs that I couldn’t understand, which made me feel bored. In the future, if you go to **** and cause trouble, you’re afraid you won’t be able to watch them!”
Although Wu Fu is not as smart as his father, he is not stupid either. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Brother, aren't you going to Tokyo?"
Wu Gong's slightly older face was a little confused due to the change in the lights, and he said: "My father asked you to escort Zen Master Dahui to Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo. I have already written to him and got his consent to send you out of Taiyuan and then turn back."
Datong, serve as a cavalry preparatory general under the Prince of Zhenrong County."
After hearing this, Wu Fu almost stuck his finger into the incense burner, but Wu Gong pinched it and scolded him: "How old are you? After traveling thousands of miles, why are you still so unstable!"
"Brother, how can I hold my peace? Don't you know the grudge between my father and Prince Qu? Outsiders say they laugh away their grudges, but who inside can say for sure, aren't you..." Yang
When you enter the tiger's mouth, the fish will be caught in the net!
How many years older was Wu Gong than he was? He had been fighting in the Western Army with Wu Jie since he was sixteen years old. In the past ten years, he had seen the world change. After having experienced many things, he naturally became more thoughtful in everything he did and spoke. He said without hesitation: "You
They also looked down upon King Qujun too little. If they were people who abandoned public service for personal reasons, and the officials were so wise and had the absurdity of his early years, how could they tolerate him to this day and leave the defense of Datong's front line to him. 2.
Brother, to be honest, you have not won the title this year. No matter what you do, you still have a choice. But as a brother, I have no other choice except the military camp. Now everyone is watching the war in the southwest, and Yue Yun has already become famous at a young age.
, it’s not our turn to be juniors like us, then only the cavalry army has meritorious service to build on, so how can I still be under the protection of my father!”
Wu Fu stopped talking. After saying this, how could he still not hear his brother's unfinished thoughts: Even if his grandmother is here and he is still making such a fuss, he is afraid that even if his eldest brother returns to the imperial camp and rear army, he will not be able to stay in Yan'an Mansion any longer.
Didn’t you see that your sister-in-law has taken her children back to live in the same state?
In fact, Wu Fu was young and didn't know that there was such a secret in his family before. It's just that the Korean wife loved him more. Although she was also good to Wu Gong, she always seemed to be separated by a layer. He didn't think much about it before, he just felt that
This is because my elder brother followed his father away from the family in his early years.
It wasn't until his father was seriously ill that Qu Duan brought a Nine-Heaven Mysterious Thunder to the family, and the Wu family became the number one topic of conversation in Yan'an Mansion. His grandmother Liu almost demolished the family, and he was dumbfounded: It turns out that my brother is my child.
Uncle. This is also the reason why he has a bad impression of Qu Duan. I am very grateful that you saved my father, but can you consider the impact before speaking?
I can only say that my child, you still know too little about Prince Qu. Even Zhao Guan’s family dare not have such expectations for him.
Seeing his silence, Wu Gong knew that he understood something. After many years of friendship, he had already regarded Wu Jie as his father and Wu Fu as his brother. So he unconsciously babbled a few words, "You are going to Tokyo now."
, you will definitely meet a saint. Officials are very kind and affectionate. Just tell the truth when he asks you anything, and don’t try to hide it. If you don’t have this kind of conduct, even a king won’t like it.”
Wu Fu was slightly startled and said, "Why do you say that, brother? How dare I hide it from the officials?"
"Well, according to the official's temper, if he asks you, he may be resentful about breaking off the engagement. How would you answer?"
Wu Fu:......
Wu Gong swept away the incense ashes in the room, opened the window slightly, and a cool air came through, which actually contained a faint fragrance of plum blossoms. When he looked at his younger brother, he saw that his face was probably redder than plum blossoms, and he sighed.
Said: "Second brother, I have watched you grow up, how can I not understand you? Not to mention monarchs and ministers, even ordinary people have problems with their marriages. This matter is indeed a breach of contract by the Tian family, but the official
Everyone knows the family's temper. If you cooperate to make the royal family look good, he will not treat you badly. But if you are resentful, even if the official family will not care about you, the reward will be compromised.
For the sake of yourself and the Wu family, you have to think clearly."
In the small room, the ancestral shrine and some sacrificial utensils came out, and there were only two brothers. Wu Fu's expression changed several times, as if a martial arts master had broken through his internal strength. After a long while, he finally said: "I am really unhappy, but I am also
It's just not pleasant. Thinking about the consort Yue at his age and being so powerful all over the world, it's natural for the officials to look down on me. Besides, I can think of someone telling me that I made a drunken gaffe and it was spread."
Wu Gong endured it, thinking that he would not be able to take care of it in the future, and simply said: "If you think so, then when the news came that Princess Shouchun was traveling with the official family in Ningxia, why did she go to a prostitute house on the border and spend a lot of money for several days?
What are you looking at? Do you think that if I hadn't covered it up for you, my father would have been able to get around you? You just mentioned Yue Yun. He must have been biographed separately like Huo Qubing and Geng Gong in the Han Dynasty. You are missing.
You are a wise man, but a good man indulges in these dirty tricks. The world will not say that it is an official who has broken his promise, but will only say that you cannot hold up the wall and are not worthy of a girl from a good family."
Wu Fu stood up all of a sudden and almost started a quarrel. The last trace of reason told him that he was at someone else's home and it would be embarrassing to start a quarrel. He was about to say a few harsh words and walked out to see the scenery of Taiyuan, but Wu Fu heard
Gong suddenly sighed and said in a soft voice, "Second brother will definitely find it unpleasant for me to say this right now, but the next time you and I are together, I don't know what year it will be. I always hope that you will be well."
.”
No matter how angry he was in his heart, hearing what his brother said and thinking that his misfortune far exceeded his own, Wu Fu couldn't get angry anymore. He just lowered his head and said: "Okay, brother, I listen to you.
That’s it.”
"That's good." Wu Gong didn't know how much he heard. He just shook the cup in his hand and looked at the dim wine and said: "Three years ago today, I followed the official family outside the city and saw the sky and the earth cracking with my own eyes.
The indestructible city wall was blown open. But nowadays, construction is going on everywhere in Taiyuan City, and the people can be considered happy and prosperous. It can be seen that sometimes, if it is not destroyed, it cannot be built."
Wu Fu, who was only nineteen years old, did not understand the philosophy in his elder brother's words at that time. By the time he truly understood it, more than half his life had passed. Wu Gong, who had supported him in climbing trees and accompanied him to Mongolia, had also
The body has been wrapped in horse leather for many years.
But in any case, with the bells ringing in the Drum Tower, the thirteenth year of Jianyan came as scheduled.
