Volume 1 Covering the Sky with One Hand Chapter 29 Integrity
"When your Majesty and Guan, the Grand Seokong wrote a letter to open a new school to recruit new troops in Chongdu. Since then, the imperial guards in the west of the city have risen up." Chen Jinqiu looked at Chen Qiusheng complainingly, "But, you openly refuted Sikong in the court, mentioning the founding law, and not involving martial arts. Such treasons are overwhelming, and the court is in an uproar. Brother, I promise that it is feasible to refute the imperial guards in the west of the city, but the current officials in the court are currently dismissing the Grand Sikong's face, which is very inappropriate."
"If this move is not refuted, Pang Boyi will report to the emperor two times and order the Xi Cao officers to jointly take charge of the Chongdu public security." Chen Qiusheng raised his hand and tidyed the wrinkled cuffs. "Xi Cao Jin is under the Grand Sikong Mansion, and the officials are in charge of salt and iron. If they are in charge of military affairs, civil officials will be involved in military affairs. This move is contrary to the laws of Zheng State set by the ancestors."
"The law of our ancestors is naturally the first to be affected, but brother, you must be versatile in Chongdu!" Chen Jinqiu said in a very strong tone, "You have bumped into the Grand Sikong, which has caused the Chongdu family to be dissatisfied with my Chen family. When my father passed away, all the families across the country would come to worship, instead of being despised by the officials like now, saying that the current patriarch of my Chen family was hitting the south wall with his head and bleeding. Nan wall, who is the wall that covers the sky and the sun? It is his Grand Sikong, Pang Boyi!"
Chen Jinqiu's tone was impulsive, and the meaning of blame was obvious.
Chen Qiusheng was not angry. People cursing him in the streets and alleys of Chongdu lined up in line and could circle the moat for dozens of times, but what could he do?
He could not help but find a way to endure it, just because the Chen family is now the head of the family, Chen Qiusheng.
"Jin Qiu, the three of us brothers knelt in front of our father's bed, and he pointed at them one by one and left criticism." Chen Qiusheng looked at his half-brother calmly and asked slowly, "Do you still remember what my father said?"
Chen Jinqiu remembered that when he was young, he knelt in front of his father's couch. His old father's eyes were swollen and his tears were flowing day and night. It is said that Mr. Chen had tears when he was young, and tears often fell on his cheeks.
At that time, Chen Jinqiu was the first to come forward for training. Mr. Chen hurriedly touched his face and recognized it for a while. At that time, Mr. Chen was already terminally ill and could not see anything. He could only identify his son by touching his face.
"I remember, my father said, 'Don't be too ambitious, and small ambitions should be diligent to make up for the shortcomings. Be harmonious with heaven, be broad-minded and calm, treat people with sincerity."
The three heroes of the Chen family, the eldest son Chen Qiusheng was lonely on the cliff, the second son Chen Pinggang was as fierce as fire, the third son Chen Jinqiu was inconsistent, and the old man Chen left aphorisms and criticisms.
Chen Qiusheng nodded, paused, and continued to ask: "Then do you still remember what the criticism my father left for me and my second brother?"
Chen Jinqiu couldn't remember the past, so he shook his head.
Chen Qiusheng pressed his knees with his palms and patiently told his younger brother: "My father said to his second brother, 'Love is really burning, the heart is strong, think twice before moving, and the sea embraces all rivers."
Chen Jinqiu understood that this sentence made Chen Pinggang think more about his life.
He nodded and continued to ask, "What did the father say to his elder brother?"
Chen Qiusheng looked up at the hazy moonlight from afar: "Remain the right thing, be honest and honest."
Chen’s ancestor teachings!
Chen Jinqiu said in surprise: "This is the ancestral teaching on the plaque of the clan ancestral hall."
Mr. Chen left behind criticisms for Chen Jinqiu and Chen Pinggang, but only Chen Qiusheng left behind a ancestral teaching, which made Chen Jinqiu puzzled.
"My father passed away, and I was succeeded as the leader of the clan, and relatives and friends in the clan also agreed." Chen Qiusheng looked at Chen Jinqiu, "Third brother, in his position, he planned his politics. My father had long seen the gloomy sky in Zheng State, and the situation in the court was like a roar and roaring three-foot wave. My father knew that he was willing to hand over the clan leader to me and leave behind the criticism of the ancestors. This was to keep the foundation of the Chen family. The foundation of the Chen family was the ancestors, and the integrity and integrity were the laws of the Zheng State."
These words made Chen Jinqiu feel relieved, and his expression showed regret for his original hardship.
The Chen family devoted their efforts to Zheng State, and revised the laws of Zheng State for dozens of generations, no one regretted it, and only spoke out for advice.
Chen Jinqiu remained silent. He remained silent for a long time, and then slowly looked up at Chen Qiusheng.
The ink-like temples were eroded by the years, leaving a little grayish white. Chen Qiusheng had not yet married, and he spent half of his life in the study, the books of the law of punishment, and the court where the case was heard.
Chen Jinqiu had never seen Chen Qiusheng smile from the bottom of his heart. He was indeed a living Hero, serious, lonely and out of reach on the cliff. His shoulders carried the fate and future of the Chen family. He had never had his own joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys.
Chen Jinqiu suddenly felt pity for his elder brother.
When will this man who lives for others live for himself?
Even if it only once.
"Even if I openly refute the request of the Grand Secretariat, Your Majesty and Guan Zhizhuo were granted the Grand Secretariat to establish the imperial guards in the west of the city." Chen Qiusheng suddenly covered his mouth and coughed a few times, which made Chen Jinqiu, who knew the condition, worry, "The laws of Zheng are no longer under my control, but I still have to sit in the position of the Tingwei, guard the laws of Zheng, and guard the efforts of the ancestors of the Chen family. Third brother, who is versatile, how much extravagant I am for me?"
"Brother!" Chen Jinqiu called out, "Why are you doing this?"
"I will stay in Yanzhou to investigate the cause of my second brother's death, and you must go back to Chongdu to stabilize the hearts of the tribe." Chen Qiusheng stood up and walked behind Chen Jinqiu, patting his shoulder with one hand, "You are the one who is versatile. In the quagmire of Chongdu, you will definitely do better than me."
Chen Jinqiu wanted to say something, but Chen Qiusheng covered his mouth and coughed a few times. He had to comfort him: "Brother, take care of your health, then I'll go down and arrange for the return to the capital."
Chen Qiusheng nodded, and then Chen Jinqiu left.
Chen Qiusheng sat back on the stone bench, looked at the black piece idle by the chessboard, and then took out a white piece from the stone dish and placed it next to the black piece.
He looked at Heizi and murmured hesitantly: "Situ..."
Then, he looked at the two black pieces opposite to the chessboard party, which represented the eldest prince, King Jin and the second prince, King Qin.
He picked up Bai Zi and raised it to the night sky. The hazy moonlight shone on Bai Zi, making one side clear, while the other side was deep darkness.
He suddenly put Bai Zi in the north position of the chess game, calmed down and said.
"King of Qi."
...
The sweet wine alley is full of fragrance, and the music and singing every night is the characteristic of this willow field.
Under the fluttering gauze of the Red Mansion, rows of women were wearing summer silk, with bright red laces tied on their shoulders, which were close-fitting bellybands and white collarbones exposed to the air.
Swallow is thin and fat, and red sleeves are struggling.
The red sleeves hang down the streets along the railings, and the rich fragrance of pink is filled with the sleeves.
And fine wine.
Spring is not old.
The mellow aroma of wine is spread throughout the air, accompanied by the red sleeves dancing lightly, and the intoxicating desires and smells make people who are indulged in pain fall into a deep dream.
Drunk and singing, what is life?
Zuixianlou is the most popular restaurant on this street. The drinker led the woman from the Red Building next door to come here to eat and drink. The geisha on the stage outlined the strings with slender fingers, and the dancer twisted his waist.
The door of the attic in the private room was covered with a faint cloak. Liu Taijing was kneeling down. Under the wine cup in front of the table was a delicate cold plate. The plate was filled with warm water, and the aroma of the cooking wine floated outward along the door.
His eyes fell on the stage in the hall, looking at the solo dancer.
The dancer was wearing a bead curtain gauze dress. When he twisted with his seductive dance posture, Liu Taijing could see every curve, every line, and the sunken folds that appeared from time to time on his tight skin.
He looked at him obsessed with his fingertips, his rosy lips pressed against his fingertips. The warm fragrance of wine that had not yet grown old ejaculated in the air caused a strong desire, and his eyes gradually became hazy.
His eyes were on the dancer's naked ankles, and he wore a bell on his white and tender jade feet. As the dance steps changed, the bells made tremolo from time to time.
The strings of the piano evoke lovesickness, and after a long song, the dancer bowed and stepped off the stage and turned into the backyard.
"elder brother."
The crisp call woke Liu Taijing up. He turned his head and looked, Liu Junyue squatted on the railing, holding the window ridge with one hand.
"What are you looking at? Your eyes are almost glaring out." Liu Junyue jumped off the railing and bent down outside the empty door and glanced, "Nothing strange is there."
"Sit." Liu Taijing raised his hand and pointed it out, "Tell me, what have you found?"
"Hey, good news, bad news." Liu Junyue turned around sneakily, revealing his sharp tiger teeth, "Which one do you want to listen to first?"
"Then... hear bad news." Liu Taijing also laughed, "I have always been interested in bad news."
Liu Junyue sat down casually, picked up the wine pot in front of the case, and turned over the upside down ear bowl, saying, "Bad news, Lao Xiong was caught, and now he is squatting in the small dark room in the provincial governor's mansion."
After Liu Junyue said that, he was about to bring the bowl to drink, but Liu Taijing raised his hand and pressed it on the bowl and asked, "Rare Tao, Frost and Snow, with one soft fist, who can take him down?"
"Hey~" Liu Junyue patted his hand and said angrily, "Isn't it just your fellow disciple? What's the name? What... Yuan Ji, the one he took, this kid--"
Liu Junyue said halfway, and drank a sip of wine, then said: "One hand sword technique is amazing! Brother, you didn't see it. His sword technique is extremely exquisite. Only one move turns into a virtual one--"
"His spiritual power has been activated?" Liu Taijing's eyes narrowed, "Who else has seen it except you?"
Liu Junyue widened her eyes, raised her eyebrows, and said in surprise: "He has no spiritual power, he uses martial arts swordsman skills. Brother... Why are you so nervous?"
"Isn't use spiritual power?" Liu Taijing frowned and lowered his head, murmured, "Can his skills beat the old bear?"
Seeing that Liu Taijing looked strange, Liu Junyue stretched her neck straight and looked at her eyes, and asked, "Brother, are you hiding something from me?"
Liu Taijing pondered for a while, and breathed a long sigh and said, "Whoever breaks the iron principles of the cultivation world, the cultivators in the world swear to kill him. He is my pawn and it is of great use."
"Just just a chess piece?" Liu Junyue leaned closer, "Why don't I look like him? You... seem to care a lot about him."
Liu Taijing pushed away his sister's head, and said calmly: "Don't ask too much, you will know in the future."
Liu Junyue stared at him for a long time, leaned back and responded lightly: "Oh."
