Rebirth of a Star General

There are more and more evidences about Xu Xiang's role in the Mingshui war.

It's not just the battle of Mingshui. There are all kinds of crimes, such as selling officials, appointing private people, cheating on the emperor and accepting bribes

The change of the emperor's attitude made Xu party smell out the bad wind direction, and the whole court was immersed in a tense atmosphere. Those who thought that Xu Jingfu could be rescued soon realized that it was not a simple thing, or that it was impossible at all.

At Shi Jinbo's house, the boy stopped the man who wanted to come in and said with a smile: "please come back, gentlemen. The fourth young master is not in the house."

"Where on earth has Chu Zilan gone?" When we saw Mr. Chu again, we didn't get angry again

The boy just said with a bitter face: "the adults ask the little one, and the little one doesn't know. The fourth young master has not returned to the house for a long time."

See asked for a long time also can't ask what useful things, the visitor had to leave bitterly. After the party left, the boy closed the door, went back to the yard, knocked on the door of the study, and walked in.

Chu Zhao is sitting at his desk reading.

"Fourth young master, all the people have been sent back." Said the boy.

Of course, Chu Zhao is in Shi Jinbo's house. In fact, he has never been out of the house these days, so no one has seen him.

"Well done."

"But the fourth childe..." The boy hesitated for a moment, or opened his mouth to ask: "really don't think of a way?"

Chu Zhao raised his head and looked at him. His face turned white. After a long time, he heard the man in front of him: "you go out."

The boy retreated with relief.

Chu Zhao's eyes fell again on the table, which Xu Jingfu had given him. Since Xu Jingfu was jailed, people from time to time wanted to find him to help Xu Jingfu out. After all, Xu Jingfu treated him like a son-in-law. After all, he was Xu Jingfu's son-in-law. He should be his son-in-law after a while.

Chu Zhao's eyes became distant.

Chu Zhao still remembers the first time he met Xu Jingfu.

At that time, he was not very old, and was bullied by Mrs. Chu and his three brothers. He looks very good-looking, but Chu Linfeng likes to take him with him to social intercourse. He looks very good-looking. But every time he comes back from the party, he is suffering from countless more severe sufferings.

Things in the backyard can't be seen by Chu Linfeng. Even if what I saw was just a few words on my mouth. It was impossible for him and Mrs. Chu to be divorced.

In the meantime, he thought that there would be a party with his colleagues in winter. This time, he was a guest at Xu Xiangfu's house. Chu Linfeng specially asked his wife to choose a good dress for Chu Zhao. He must not lose the face of the Chu family.

Since she went to Xu Xiang's house as a guest, Mrs. Chu did not dare to neglect her. Even though she did not want to, she prepared him with gorgeous clothes.

Chu Linfeng was quite satisfied.

But Chu Zhao walked very hard.

Just because I didn't know whether it was Mrs. Chu or his brother-in-law, he nailed a few nails at the bottom of his boots. At first, I couldn't feel them. As people walked around, the nails were gradually trampled into the boots and finally got into his feet.

But at that time, Chu Zhao and Chu Linfeng had already arrived at the Xu mansion.

It's rude to take off his boots in public. Chu Linfeng has a good face. He doesn't give him a chance to speak. It's like showing off a beautiful vase and a beautiful ornament, pulling him to meet people and saying, "this is my third son, Chu Zhao."

Chu Zhao had to bear the pain and talk with Chu Linfeng pale.

At the end of the day, he could hardly support it.

At the banquet, Chu Linfeng drank a few more cups and talked to his colleagues with pride. Finally, he did not pay attention to Chu Zhao. Chu Zhao wants to find a secluded corner to take off his boots and pull out nails. But the so big Xu Fu, he did not know the road, turning around, he ran into a person.

A man of letters, who was old in a long gown, looked down at him.

Chu Zhao was stunned and immediately recognized that this was the main character of today's banquet. Chu Linfeng wanted to flatter Xu Jingfu. But he has been following Chu Linfeng, and Chu Linfeng has not even talked to Xu Jingfu, so he may not know himself.

"I am The fourth son of Shi Jinbo's family. " Chu Zhao carefully opened his mouth, "I I'm lost. "

Xu Jingfu just looked at him with a smile, and suddenly asked, "what's wrong with your leg?"

Chu Zhao subconsciously hid his feet behind him.

Looking around, Xu Jingfu called his servants and said, "take the fourth master of Chu to the room."

Chu Zhao waved his hand in a hurry: "no, I'm..."

"You'll be lame if you go on." Xu Jingfu shook his head and said with a smile, "I told your father not to worry."

Chu Zhao was carried to the room by the servants of the Xu family. Not only that, they also took off his boots. As soon as the boots were removed, everyone at the scene took a breath. Almost all the nails had to go into his feet, and the blood from the nail stuck with the white socks, which made him feel miserable.Xu Xiang frowned and said, "call the doctor in the mansion."

There was a doctor who was good at medicine in Xu's house. When he was called over, he took out the nail from Chu Zhao's foot and said, "young master, you can bear it too much. If the nail doesn't go in, it will hurt. How can you bear to keep silent now? Well, after you go back, you should not go down to the ground for a few days and have a good rest. "

Chu Zhao pursed his lips and did not speak. Although he was the fourth son of the Chu family, he lived the same as his servants. He had to work every day. How could he not rest on the ground.

Xu Jingfu waved and told them to go down.

He got up and went to the other end, as if casually asked, "what's your name?"

"Chu Zhao, Zi Lan." He replied with restraint and caution.

"Good name." With a smile, Xu Jingfu put a pair of brand-new boots in front of him. "My wife intended to give them to my students. Your boots can't be worn. This pair should be able to wear."

Chu Zhao held his boots in his arms. The stove in front of Xu was very hot, and his cloth boots were warm and warm. He said, "thank you, Mr. Xu."

Xu Jingfu looked at him, and the dress that Mrs. Chu gave him was indeed gorgeous and exquisite. It was only cold in winter. There was no cotton wool in the thin brocade clothes. It looked good, but it was not practical. He walked outside for a while, his face was pale and his hands and feet were cold.

"Do you have three brothers in your family?" Xu Jingfu asked with a smile.

Chu Zhao's body was slightly stiff: "exactly."

Xu Jingfu looked at him thoughtfully: "I have never seen your father bring them out."

Chu Linfeng has a good face. He always thinks that he is a beautiful man in the Wei Dynasty, but his three legitimate sons are born like a mother. He looks plain. He is afraid that others will laugh at him behind his back, so he only takes chuzhao to socialize with his colleagues. Chu Zhao lowered his head and did not speak.

"Have you ever read a book?" asked Xu Jingfu

"A little bit." He replied softly.

"Oh?" Xu Jingfu was slightly surprised. I think it's incredible that Mrs. Chu would let Chu Linfeng study outside. Chu Zhao thought about it and whispered, "I learned a little from my mother before. Later, when I went back to my house, I secretly hid some books in my house."

Xu Jingfu has always loved talent. Looking at the beautiful child in front of him, he said with a smile, "in that case, you can come to my school in the future."

Chu Zhao was stunned. Subconsciously, he raised his head and mumbled his lips: "I..."

"I have a lot of students, but they are all old, and I have not closed the door for many years," the scribe looked gentle, such as a loving elder. "I am old, I don't know how many years I can teach you. If you want to follow me, please call me a teacher."

Teacher

It's a pity that in the past few years, no one has ever taught him what to do and why he should do it. In front of him, this man is the Prime Minister of the great Wei Dynasty.

He buried his head and, despite the wound he had just wrapped up, went down to the ground, kowtowed respectfully to Xu Jingfu and called out, "teacher."

He was brought back by Xu Jingfu's carriage, together with the servants of the Xu family, a thick cotton padded coat and brand-new boots on his feet.

When Chu Linfeng woke up, he was startled and apologized to Xu Jingfu, who said that he didn't have to worry about it. After Chu Linfeng came back to his house, he had a real quarrel with Mrs. Chu for the first time about Chu Zhao. The sound of their quarrel fell to Chu Zhao's ear outside the courtyard window.

"That's Xu Xiang! In the future, Zi Lan will be Xu Xiang's student. Can't you understand Xu Xiang's move? Don't bully Zi Lan in the future! "

"Who bullied him? If I really bully him, how can I make him a disciple of Xu Xiang. You're the one who favors you all the time. Otherwise, why is it him, not my child? "

"Who let them down? Xu Xiang just likes Zi Lan. You can do it yourself. Don't let yourself down! "

The quarrel filled his ears. Chu Zhao looked down at the cloth boots on his feet. The boots fitted well and the soles were very soft. It seemed that even the pain of nails piercing into the flesh and blood was touched by the softness.

After that, he became a student of Xu Jingfu.

Xu Jingfu was really good to him, and he was not willing to give up the opportunity to study hard. People said that he was brilliant and young, but he did not know how many nights he spent reading at night, so that he could be "modest" in front of others.

There is no friendship between teachers and students.

The light from the oil lamp on the table cast a shadow on the wall. He looked at it for a while and stood up.

"Somebody."

The boy came in and said, "what can I do for you, sir?"

"Prepare the horse," he looked forward, "and go to the prince's house."

……

In the open bedroom, Emperor Wenxuan leaned against the collapsed edge, lowered his head and drank the cooked ginseng soup with the woman's hand.

As soon as the case against Xu Jingfu came out, the emperor became very angry and became ill. He was old, but his daily leisure in the past could not be seen. Things were piling up all over him, but in a short period of more than ten days, he looked old.After a bowl of ginseng soup was finished, LAN Guifei asked the maid to pick up the empty bowl and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty should get better soon."

"It's no use getting better," Emperor Wen Xuan said with a wry smile. "I'm afraid I can't wait to see you soon."

A finger against his lips, blocked his next words, orchid Princess disapproved of shaking his head: "Your Majesty, this is not a casual speech."

Emperor Wen Xuan looked at the woman in front of him. Although she said so, she still looked gentle. She was not as frightened and angry as other imperial concubines, nor did she scold with a straight face like empress Zhang. LAN Guifei is not the most beautiful one in the whole harem, but he has spoiled the woman in front of him for so many years because he can be himself in front of his wife.

Instead of being an emperor.

Emperor Wenxuan thought that he might be the only one who thought he was tired of being an emperor.

After that, he came to the queen only once. Emperor Wen Xuan knew that empress Zhang's family was very close to Xu Jingfu. Now that Xu Jingfu had an accident, empress Zhang's family did not dare to openly plead with Xu Jingfu, and the harem was not allowed to intervene in politics. Therefore, she should be very busy these days.

Emperor Wen Xuan was not in the mood to take care of these matters. He opened his eyes and closed his eyes because he could feel that his time might not be enough.

It's strange that before Xu Jingfu's incident happened, he thought that he was still energetic and could live longer than his father's generation. But as soon as Xu Jingfu's case came out, he realized that he was really old, too old to live the next winter.

So in his opinion, there is another important thing.

"Since I ascended the throne, Xu Jingfu has made great contributions to him for many years," he said slowly. "I have been tolerant of him. I know that although he is selfish, he has not been investigated. But now, he has betrayed my trust. Even treason with the enemy... "

"Xiao Zhongwu is dead. I have listened to Xu Jingfu's words these years. There are few generals available in the great Wei Dynasty. General he Rufei of Feihong is still a fake. The uto people had planned for a long time, but they were afraid that there would be great troubles in the future. If I had given this position to him, "Emperor Wen Xuan said with a bitter smile," he is not as good as me. Although I am indecisive, I am kind to the people and love things. He What's the matter? "

The last sentence is both disappointment and anger.

If guangshuo was the crown prince, how good it would be.

That he may have early on this chair, to guangshuo hands.

Although the emperor was mediocre, he was not particularly ignorant. He knew that his eldest son had no talent and morality. For so many years, he refused to draft the imperial edict because he had contradictions in his mind. On the one hand, he is very clear that it is a disaster for Wei to sit in this position. On the other hand, there has never been a monarch abolishing Chang Liyou in the great Wei Dynasty. He did not want to be the "first person" and was afraid to take up the responsibility. So he delayed and forbeared again and again, and finally made things irreversible.

"Lan'er," he looked at her, "I regret that I didn't make a decision earlier."

Now, no matter what he does, he will set off a huge wave up and down the court, shed more blood and die more people. And Guangyan and guangshuo, no matter who he prefers, are his sons, which is beyond doubt.

Princess LAN gently held his hand and said, "no matter what your majesty decides, I understand your Majesty's pains."

Emperor Wen Xuan looked at her and said, "in this palace, you are the only one who knows me well."

……

When LAN Guifei returns to Qinglan palace, guangshuo has been waiting for her in the hall.

Seeing her back, guangshuo stood up, "mother concubine."

Princess LAN asked him to sit down and asked, "Why are you here? Not to Dali temple? "

Now, if there is no other change in Xu Xiang's case, the overall situation should be settled. The evidence in Xiao Huaijin's hands has been thrown out one by one. Officials who had been suppressed by the Xu party in the past have been busy seizing this opportunity. The tree falls and the monkeys scatter, which has been the case since ancient times.

Of course, this also cannot do without guangshuo's help.

"I have been there today." Guangshuo thought, "these days, the son Minister for Xu Xiang case efforts, but, in the palace to see Xiao Dudu, he did not show the intention of intimacy."

He didn't understand whether Xiao Huaijin had accepted him.

LAN Guifei laughed: "he ignored you, is right."

"The meaning of the mother's concubine is..."

"The reason why you care about Xu Jingfu's case is that, as the prince of Wei Dynasty, you care about the affairs of the imperial court. If you go too close to him, you are too deliberate."

"I don't know," Guang Shuo's eyes flashed a little anxious, "but the prince will not give up. My father is not in good health now. I heard that the imperial censor had already told him that he had made an early decision to establish a prince Mother and concubine, you know the character of his father, "guangshuo laughed at himself." if nothing else happens, the prince will be appointed as the crown prince. As the mother and princess said, once the crown prince ascends the throne, let alone the children's ministers and the mother's concubine, I'm afraid that even the five younger brothers will not survive. "

"And His eyes were full of worry. "At present, the utopian people are not clear about their ambition, and they may attack the great Wei at any time. If the crown prince ascends the throne, does the mother and Princess think that the prince will make people fight against the uto people? Even if it is to pull down Xiao Huaijin, he will not say a word "war."LAN Guifei quietly waited for him to finish.

Guangshuo looked at the woman: "the mother felt that the son minister said wrong?"

"You're right," said Princess LAN with a smile. "When I see your father today, your father has revealed his intention to draft an imperial edict."

Guangshuo moved in his heart and asked excitedly, "after all..."

"In fact, it doesn't matter who your father decides to pass on the throne to," said Princess LAN. "In this world, a decree can't decide anything sometimes. Guangshuo, people's will is more important than power. You have never participated in the affairs of the imperial court openly and openly, and you have been hiding behind the crown prince. This is your weakness and your strength. "

"You are anxious now. I'm afraid you are more anxious than you are, and there are those Utopians Xiao Huaijin is willing to be close to you and support you. It's meaningless to say this now. If he does not fight for power and gain, sooner or later he will be your man. "

Guangshuo asked, "because of the prince?"

"Yes." LAN Guifei's eyes flashed a trace of compassion, "Guangyan is so tyrannical, Xiao Huaijin, such a person, will not be driven by him."

"Wei, no one else."
