Chapter 1,440 Li Zhi wants to dance with the sword
This year in Guanzhong is bound to be a rainy year. The rain in spring has been pouring down non-stop. Now that summer has come, it is raining again and there are no sunny days.
The willow trees beside the Ba Bridge are lush and green, and the fine wickers stretch and sway in the continuous drizzle. From time to time, swallows shuttle nimble and light among the wickers, and occasionally fly over people's heads at low altitude, dancing in the drizzle.
Fortunately, no large army has gone out since spring this year, otherwise it would be difficult to see this scenery. Traveling Guanzhong people like to break off a willow branch by the Ba Bridge and give it to them.
The allusion of "The Willows of Baqiao" may seem beautiful, but in fact it is an out-and-out example of environmental destruction...
However, the arrival of relatives here means separation.
In ancient times, communication was poor, transportation was backward, and the level of medical and health care was even worse. Many times, relatives traveled to other places, which meant separation between life and death, and no chance to see each other again in this life. When we accidentally heard about each other years later, it was often the separation between yin and yang.
…
Qiu Shenji was escorted by several soldiers and knelt down in front of his father.
"It is a heinous crime for a son to be unable to fulfill his filial piety by his father's side. However, now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing he can do about it even if he regrets it. He also hopes that his father will take care of himself, buy more clothes and eat more food. My son is far away in the Western Regions, and he will also
Pray to gods and Buddhas every night for my father's health and longevity..."
At the end of the sentence, tears were flowing down my face and I was filled with regret.
How can he not regret, how can he not hate?
Born into a noble family, he has been blessed with supernatural powers since he was a child and few can match him. He has honed his qualifications in the military over the years, and with just one opportunity, he can rise to the top and become a leader among the younger generation of the distinguished family.
But now, an inexplicable disaster fell from the sky, directly ruining the beautiful future...
Not only that, the trip to the Western Regions is a long way away, and the Gobi desert is full of thorns and thorns. Who knows if you will get sick and die on the way? Even in the Western Regions, the severe situation and war there are brewing almost every day. Who knows if you will wake up.
All the territory of the Han people in the club was occupied by the barbarians, and all the Han people were massacred as "two-legged sheep" when the five barbarians invaded more than two hundred years ago...
All in all, this journey is very dangerous. Only God knows whether we can return to Chang'an alive.
Qiu Xinggong stood at the end of the bridge with his hands folded, looking at his sad son in front of him, filled with sadness and anger!
Just overnight, his strong body had become rickety, and his face was full of wrinkles, his complexion was gray, and his expression was haggard.
At this moment, looking at my son who was as embarrassed as a wild dog in front of me, my heart felt like needles pricking me!
Stretching out his big, calloused hands and gently caressing his son's head, Qiu Xinggong looked gloomy and spoke firmly: "My father and son have served His Majesty for two generations. Your Majesty has also been very kind to my Qiu family. If there is no villain who interferes with it,
Why is this so? When my son goes to the Western Regions, he must take care of himself and leave the green hills without worrying about having firewood. Even if his father risked his life in Beijing, he will definitely seek justice for my son and try again.
A future!”
The anger in my heart has already risen to the sky!
Changsun Wuji's betrayal, Gao Shilian's cold gaze, Fang Jun's frame-up... Each of these things are like bone spurs growing in his heart, making every breath difficult for him, and he wants to kill all these people.
Only by killing him can the hatred be relieved!
Although he has many sons, they are all just walk-ons. Only the youngest son in front of him can support the Qiu family's fortune. But now that he is in this situation, it is like breaking the foundation of the Qiu family's inheritance...
Of course, he had to say this, so as to plant a seed in Qiu Shenji's heart, so that he should have hope in the most difficult environment, work hard to survive, and never give up and resign himself to fate.
Once a person loses hope in his heart, he loses the tenacity to live. In the harsh environment of the Western Region, this is almost equivalent to destruction...
Sure enough, Qiu Shenji's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this. He raised his head and stared at Qiu Xinggong: "Do you really mean what your father said? Can my child be an official again?"
Qiu Xinggong straightened his body, raised his eyebrows, and said domineeringly: "Why not? Even though he is guilty, it is not a serious crime of rebellion and treason. He is just being made trouble for and treated as a victim of struggle. As long as he is replaced by that
A few people... It all depends on human effort. As a father, I not only have to earn you an official position to wash away this filth, but also earn you an official position and a first-class position, below one person!"
Qiu Shenji cried with joy, and his originally depressed spirit was completely cheered up, and he knelt down and bowed again: "My child must obey his father's instructions, take good care of himself, and wait for his father to call him back to Beijing."
He is a straight-headed person. He neither realizes how difficult it is to be a criminal and then regain his official status in this strict hierarchical society, nor does he appreciate the determination and madness in Qiu Xinggong's words...
After several urgings from the soldiers, father and son reluctantly parted ways.
Thin rain wisps obscured his eyes, until his son's tall figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road, and Qiu Xinggong stood where he was, as straight as a gun.
After this farewell, can our close relatives see each other again?
Qiu Shenji, who was at the end of his rope, only remembered that this was his father's promise. Since he was a child, his father's promise had never been unfulfilled, so the light of hope once again appeared in his gloomy life, and he went to the Western Regions full of longing to wait for his father's call.

Jin Palace.
Jin Wang Li Zhi smiled and invited Li Junxian to take a seat, and ordered people to serve him tea. Then he smiled and said: "The general came very quickly, and I haven't made any preparations yet."
As soon as he came out of the court, Li Junxian received the emperor's order, ordering him to lead the "Hundred Cavalry Division" to assist the King of Jin in running errands. How could Li Junxian dare to delay? He immediately hurried to the King of Jin's Mansion to wait for the mission.
Li Junxian cupped his hands in the direction of the palace and said sternly: "Your Majesty has a decree, how dare you neglect it? Please give your instructions on how to handle the matter. I will do my best to help Your Highness."
Li Zhi's pretty little face was full of smiles. He held Li Junxian's hand affectionately and said warmly: "With the general assisting me, it will be easier to get twice the result with half the effort. Speaking of which, the general has watched me grow up, so he is very fond of me."
We are as close as a family member, so I need the general to take care of you in the future, and I will definitely not treat you badly."
Li Junxian felt a thump in his heart when he looked at His Highness Prince Jin, who was still childish even though they were married...
It is true that the smile of this young highness seemed to be full of affinity, like sunshine, making people feel comfortable and willing to get close to him, but when he said this sentence, Li Junxian felt a chill from head to toe.
Is this an attempt to win over me?
It seems that this young His Highness has a big heart...
Li Junxian considered his words and replied cautiously: "I am so scared, how dare I call you 'relatives'? We have different identities. Please be careful with your words like this. If it spreads out, you will be criticized. Your Highness
Being blamed by His Majesty is a big deal, and I dare not say words of support. You are a prince, and someone is an eagle and dog. There is a difference between superior and inferior... His Majesty ordered the general to come and obey the order. The general did not dare to delay. It is unknown how His Highness plans to thoroughly investigate His Highness Changle.
The assistant minister of Yufang?"
Seeing that he changed the subject, Li Zhi did not show any disappointment or annoyance. He smiled calmly and said: "Who said that I want to investigate Sister Changle and the Minister of Housing?"
Li Junxian was stunned: "Didn't His Highness propose a thorough investigation into this matter at the court meeting?"
Li Zhi was confident, he smiled, and said with a hint of pride: "There are countless ways to thoroughly investigate this matter, and directly investigating Sister Changle and Fang Shilang himself is the stupidest strategy. Not to mention that Sister Changle is the eldest son of this king.
Sister, it is really outrageous for me as a younger brother to investigate my sister. As for the chamberlain, does the general think that if the king offends that stick, he will not dare to hit him because he is a prince?"
Li Junxian thought for a moment, and what His Highness Prince Jin said was indeed true, but the problem is, if we don't start with these two people, how can we investigate this matter?
"I don't know His Highness's intentions, so I may be stupid. Please give me some advice."
"Haha, where's the pointer? This is what I think. Look, since there is a commotion in the city, let's follow the clues and catch the person who spread the rumors in the first place... What is the truth of the matter? Isn't it right?
Will it be revealed to the world immediately?"
"..."
Li Junxian stared at His Highness Prince Jin, who was smiling harmlessly in front of him, and the chill in his heart became even worse...
How is this meant to thoroughly investigate the affair between Princess Changle and Fang Jun?
This is clearly Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, intended for Pei Gong!
I just don’t know who is dancing the sword this time is His Highness the King of Jin, and I don’t know who the Duke of Pei is this time...
