In Zhuo County, Youzhou, a yellow dragon emerges from a well.
It is another year of cold winter, but Luoxian County has ushered in an unprecedented heavy snowfall. Luoxian County has not seen such heavy snowfall for a long time. In the words of those who are thoughtful, this is because the emperor's kindness is unparalleled, making the sky auspicious.
For some reason, Liu Xi became more and more interested in listening to these nonsense, and actually rewarded several writers who forcibly compared the heavy snow to the merits of the emperor.
Even with such heavy snow, there are still people who can't sit still.
In the white world, Liu Bei sat blankly in the courtyard. In the white world, he was wearing a red robe. The robe seemed to be burning with flames, and was embroidered with a python with its teeth and claws, and grains. But this was
As a reward from the emperor, he himself was a member of the clan and had great merits, so he could afford to wear such clothes.
Sitting alone in the courtyard, holding a cup of hot wine, Liu Bei looked around to make sure there was no one, then he happily took a sip, raised his head with enjoyment, and exhaled a mouthful of thick mist. Suddenly he heard someone
At the sound of footsteps, he quickly hid the wine cup under his long sleeves and looked at the door warily. The door was opened, but it was the servant of the family. He patted the snowflakes on his body and walked into the courtyard.
When he raised his head and saw Liu Bei in front of him, he was shocked and hurriedly approached him. When Liu Bei saw that it was him, he picked up the wine cup. The servant smelled the smell of wine and said in panic: "Sikong."
Sir, the young master of the family has told you that you cannot drink alcohol. The imperial doctor also said some time ago that at your age, it is best not to drink alcohol..."
"You bastard, if Xiu wants to scare me with that kid, will I be afraid of my own son? Even if he is in front of me, I will drink it!" Liu Bei shouted angrily, and the slave was helpless and sighed.
, was about to leave, but Liu Bei suddenly said: "If you dare to tell Chan'er about my drinking, I will kill you!"
"I don't dare!" The servant was frightened and said quickly. Liu Bei waved his hand and he slowly walked out of the courtyard.
Sitting comfortably in the courtyard, Liu Bei took another sip of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, with a smile on his face. He didn't like these slaves very much. Those who followed him and served him at first were all
After leaving, the last person, the charioteer who used to drive for him, also passed away last month. These new people were all arranged by Chan'er, but he didn't like them at all.
When people get older, they always feel nostalgic.
Liu Bei often thinks of many people, especially on such snowy days. He always thinks of Cao Cao. He still remembers the first time they met. The two began to fight openly and secretly. In order to seize the power to govern the Three Hans, the two resorted to various methods.
I tried my best to find the other party's extraordinary, but I still remember that domineering figure, pointing at myself and saying: "The most capable minister in the world should be Cao Yujun'er."
Liu Bei was not from a high family background. He was said to belong to the clan, but in fact he came from the lowest level. Like Cao Cao, he was often scolded as a eunuch. However, he was received by Emperor Xiaokang and personally appointed as a county captain. This weight is not light.
Even Sun Jian said that he was from a lower-class background, but when he first entered the Southern Army, he became a military commander, and two years later he became a captain.
He was different. Back then, he shamelessly pestered Hezhou Mu Luzhi. Starting from the lowest level, he served as a ward in Hezhou... Hahaha, this is just a janitor position, thankless and thankless.
He was an extremely humble person. At that time, Duke Lu was in urgent need of lower-level officials, but few of his disciples were willing to take up these positions, for fear of tarnishing their own reputations. Liu Bei was the only one willing to accept it.
After two years as a prison guard, he was promoted to the position of Tiandian, and then became a county official. Along the way, he worked diligently in politics and won the hearts of the people. Only then did Lu Zhi value him and gave him a chance to go to Luoyang.
, the opportunity to participate in the assessment.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh again.
Over the past fifty years, he has worked hard and worked hard, rising from the lowest position to the position of the third Duke of the dynasty. This experience is enough to make him stand out from the crowd. Liu Bei is very satisfied. He is very much like telling his mother who loves him the most that she loves him the most.
His son has a great future and is no longer the knight-errant of the past, and will no longer be looked down upon by everyone. However, it has been more than forty years since his mother passed away, and he can hardly remember her face when they parted.
He also wanted to tell his master that he had not embarrassed him and was probably his most proud disciple. However, it had been more than twenty years since his master left. Even his senior brother, Gongsun Zan, had also left for a long, long time.
Liu Bei stood up. He needed someone to talk to, an acquaintance.
With the support of his servants, Liu Bei shakily got into the carriage. The driver turned around and asked respectfully: "Sikong? Where are we going?"
"Go to Chan'er's house..." Liu Bei said, and the coachman immediately drove towards Liu Chan's residence. Sitting in the carriage, Liu Bei rolled up the curtains and looked at Luo County. Luo County was still very lively.
The common people were not frightened by the heavy snow. The merchants were still doing business as usual, with people coming and going. Liu Bei just looked at these people blankly and disgustedly, and quickly rolled up the car curtains.
"These idle young people... huh...", Old Sikong snorted dissatisfiedly. When he finished complaining about today's young people, the carriage had already arrived at Liu Chan's house, and the servants in the house hurriedly led the carriage in.
Inside the mansion, the servants helped Liu Bei out of the carriage. The Liu family's mansion was extremely luxurious. There were thousands of servants in the mansion alone.
"Where's Chan'er?" Liu Bei asked.
"The young master hasn't returned home yet..." The steward came up to talk with a smile. Liu Bei looked at this man and felt that he looked familiar. Liu Bei looked at him for a long time and then shouted: "You are that boy from the Wang family!!"
, Wang Erlang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Liu Bei had recognized him. He quickly bowed to him again and said, "It is I, my father, who had the honor to receive all the gentlemen in the past..."
"Hahaha, I remember, I remember, your father, his craftsmanship is the best in Luo County..."
"At that time, we had to go to your father's place every day to have a delicious meal..." Liu Bei couldn't stop after he started speaking. Wang Erlang didn't dare to interrupt, so he could only stand in the courtyard.
, kept nodding, and while the two were chatting, Mrs. Sun came out after hearing the words, and shouted with a smile: "Father? When did you come? You didn't come into the house even after you came?"
Liu Bei glanced at Sun's abdomen, sighed, and had no words.
Sun was also a little embarrassed. She had been married to Liu Chan for several years, but had never been pregnant. Although Liu Bei didn't say anything, Sun still felt a little embarrassed to face the old man. Liu Bei didn't blame her, nodded and said:
"Then let's go into the house first..." Wang Erlang supported him and slowly walked into the house. Liu Bei once again told the story of the past when the three men drank porridge incognito.
"At that time, my father didn't know the identities of the princes, and he often complained to me, saying that Mr. Cao was the stingy one. He never contributed money and always tried to trick Mr. Liu..." Wang Erlang said, bending down.
"Hahaha, that's right. There is no one more shameless than him. He has been treating me to porridge for five or six years, but he has never paid a penny!" Liu Bei shouted with a smile. Suddenly, his face darkened, and he didn't know why.
Thinking of something, he fell silent.
"Mr. Sikong, if I have a chance, I will make another bowl for you!" Wang Erlang said, patting his chest. Liu Bei smiled and nodded. After waiting for a long time, Liu Chan hurried back to the mansion.
Patting the snowflakes on his body, Liu Chan complained and walked in, "Father, how many times have I told you that you just need to move here, it's going to be so troublesome!"
"Sigh... You also have your own home, how can I stay here... I also have my own home..."
"Okay, are the people I sent to take care of you still obedient?"
"Um..."
"What about you...are things going well?"
"Um."
The father and son asked and answered each other, and then there was a long silence.
Liu Bei got on the carriage again and left in a hurry, ignoring Liu Chan's efforts to stay. The coachman turned back again and asked, "Sikong, where are we going?"
Liu Bei was stunned, yes, where are you going, who are you looking for... Yuan Shao is gone, Gongsun Zan is gone, Cao Cao is gone, Xing Ziang is gone, Hua Xiong is gone, Guo Jia is gone, Sun Jian is gone...all
Gone...all gone...why am I the only one still alive?
"Let's go to... Zhonglie Hall."
Walking on crutches in the Hall of Houde, his eyes swept over old friends one after another. Liu Bei's eyes were already filled with tears. He touched the memorial tablet in front of him with his fingers and wiped his tears. With tears in his eyes, Liu Bei pointed at everyone and cursed: "
You are not kind! You are not kind! Why do you want to leave me alone? But you are all talking and laughing together? You are not kind! You are not kind!!!"
"Bang..." Hearing the sound in the Hall of Loyalty, the soldiers stationed here rushed in and saw that Sikong had fallen to the ground. The soldiers were shocked and hurriedly picked up Sikong and got on the carriage.
, so he rushed to his mansion and called the imperial doctor and Liu Chan.
When Liu Chan came, Liu Bei had been unconscious for more than an hour. No matter how he cried and called, he never woke up.
This incident also alarmed the emperor, who sent people to visit Lao Sikong.
After being comatose for a whole day, Lao Sikong slowly opened his eyes. Everyone jumped for joy, but Lao Sikong was depressed and silent.
"Bring me a bowl of porridge..." Liu Bei ordered.
Liu Chan did not dare to delay. When he saw his father waking up, he was already ecstatic. He hurriedly found Wang Erlang and asked him to resume his old business. He made a bowl of authentic Wang's millet porridge and sent it to Liu Bei.
In front of him, Liu Bei could barely sit up. He struggled and insisted on drinking outside. Liu Chan tried hard to persuade him, but he couldn't persuade the stubborn old man.
Finally, a group of people supported him, came to the courtyard, picked up Wang Erlang's masterpiece, and Liu Bei took a big bite with great hope.
"Father...why don't you eat it? How does it taste?"
Liu Bei stared blankly into the distance, "It tastes wrong..."
The meat porridge was knocked over on the ground. Lao Sikong looked up at the sky, his eyes gradually lost all look, his whole body gradually became cold, and he no longer had any life left.
"Father!!!" Liu Chan fell to his knees on the ground, roaring in pain, and he burst into tears.
Everyone also started crying.
In this white world, Lao Sikong just sat in his position, like a blooming flower, like a burning fire, releasing that huge heat to the world all the time.
