Chapter 56 Three thousand years of reading history and ninety thousand miles of enlightenment
"Your Majesty, although Duke Zhen Guo and I are not old friends, we have always known each other. Now that he is retired, I should certainly have a share of this cup of honorary wine." Bu Changkong took advantage of the opportunity and said.
Great Lord Qingming glanced at him sideways: "Heh."
"This is where I can talk to you for a while...I hope you can teach me a few more words..."
Bu Changkong said with saliva on his face.
Grand Master Qingming glanced at him and said: "Then let's go together. We talked about everything on the way. When we get to Zhen Guogong's residence, you should stop talking."
"What I wish for!"
Bu Changkong was half a step behind Qing Ming and Master Qing Lang. He was walking, bowing and talking, just like a meticulous licking dog.
The three of them continued to walk slowly as a carriage.
Countless people saluted, bowed and saluted from a distance.
Then he watched the Great Master go away with eyes full of respect. After a while, he straightened up and left.
Then several deputy ministers of the secret guard came, and the person in charge of Rainbow Tianyi also came...
The group of people gradually grew, and it seemed that there were still more people trying to squeeze in.
But the people who followed were all driven away unceremoniously by Bu Changkong: "Go, go, go, come here to join in the fun! Is this a place where you can come? Can you still have some sense of sight?"
"Everyone is going to the other side!"
"There are so many people and so many eyes! I can't let you go in the Duke's house!"
"Everyone, stay away from me!"
"Don't follow us anymore, please be careful that the Master is angry!"
The latecomers who were driven away were so angry that their bellies burst.
But the official rank was overwhelming, and Bu Changkong insisted on living alone and flattering him, so there was really nothing anyone could do against him.
However, the great master Qing Ming in Zuoming did not say anything about upholding Dong justice and allowed Bu Changkong to develop freely. He was obviously happy to see the results. Since the great master acquiesced, what could others do?
However, the news that Master Qingming was walking in the mortal world and stated that he was going to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion for a drink spread out in a very short period of time.
The news spread rapidly, but in a blink of an eye, everyone in the capital who was qualified to know knew it.
At the same time, some people flew to the Zhen Guo Duke's Mansion to report the news: It doesn't matter whether the Zhen Guo Duke knows it or not, but if you go and report the news, you can stay and have a meal with peace of mind.
Ordinary meals, whether they are eaten or not are not uncommon.
But this meal... is of great significance. There are two absolute concepts: existence and non-existence.
Moreover, this messenger must be qualified to do so. Those who think they are not qualified will not dare to go forward.
There is no point in taking a hasty action, especially if you are kicked out with just one word, it would be really embarrassing - you have no qualifications to flatter you.
Then wouldn’t he become a laughing stock in the rest of his life?
Emperor Qin also knew the news immediately.
However, his first reaction was one of astonishment, and he even froze for a long time after reading the imperial book case.
"Your Majesty, are you going to the Zhenguo Palace at the speed of an ordinary person?"
Emperor Qin asked as if seeking confirmation.
"Yes." Shi Hongzhen said solemnly.
Emperor Qin was silent in thought and returned to silence.
Shi Hongzhen whispered: "Master Zhen Guo, you have no worries in this life."
Qin Huang glanced sideways and said: "You old killer, you are clearly trying to point me out! The Duke of Zhenguo has made great contributions to the country and the country. His life is stable, but I personally promised it. Naturally, I should be responsible. This is
It has the right meaning.”
Shi Hongzhen apologized and smiled: "Yes, yes."
Then he added: "The Great Master walks very slowly."
Emperor Qin hesitated for a moment.
Just listen to Shi Hongzhen whisper: "I want to come, I am afraid that the great master is waiting for you."
He must be reminded of this kind of speculation.
Even though Emperor Qin himself had some guesses, his reminder was still very necessary.
Emperor Qin immediately said: "Get your horses ready immediately, and we will join in the fun and have a drink with the Duke of Zhen."
"Well, what gifts do you want to bring?"
Shi Hongzhen used this word carefully and carefully.
Gift!?
You must know that when a king goes to his ministers' homes, the things he brings are all "rewards."
But Shi Hongzhen, the chief internal manager who had become an old man long ago, used the title "gift" this time.
It seems that it is not a visit from a king, but a visit from a friend!
Emperor Qin thought about it for a moment and said, "Then I must bring some... gifts."
"In that case...Is this my old slave going to prepare?"
"Well... no need, call the queen and the prince and let the queen prepare the gift."
Shi Hongzhen said: "The old slave will report to the Queen."
"good."
Emperor Qin nodded with satisfaction.
Shi Hongzhen can always be assured of his work.
This old man does things far more thoughtfully and skillfully than he does himself.
After a while.
The palace door opens.
The Emperor Qin and the Empress drove out of the palace in a car and headed to the Duke's Mansion.
Moreover, the ceremony for Emperor Qin's trip this time was extremely simple. The emperor and his wife did not even wear imperial crown robes, only ordinary clothes, just like an ordinary couple visiting old places with their children.
That night, the town government palace was very lively.
Meng Fang and Yu Rou'er were both paralyzed and helpless.
Originally, Rou'er had already sent her servants to purchase wine and meat for more than two hundred people and was ready for a grand banquet.
But as far as this preparation is concerned, it is more than enough.
But at this time, the great master suddenly expressed his intention to visit, and the meaning had completely changed.
There are also those who came with him. Even though a group of close personal guards are closer to the Mongolian couple, they really cannot be placed on the main table, or even have a banquet in the same room.
With no other choice, Meng Fang had no choice but to narrow the scope and sit at multiple tables in the courtyard. He forced his guards brothers to go drinking in the courtyard, and the two of them greeted Qing Ming and Qing Ming by themselves.
But just after I apologized to my brothers, new news came one after another.
The secret guard is coming.
The rainbow is coming.
There are also generals coming.
After sighing, the Mongolian side added the original one table of chairs to ten tables. The lineup was quite grand, which could be compared with the twenty tables in the courtyard. However, the emperor's family also came.
At the other table, several people spontaneously and consciously went to his table and gave up their seats at the main table to Qin Huang’s family of three.
And when His Majesty the Emperor came to visit in his regular uniform, he showed no airs of being an emperor at all.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "As an old brother, I will bring my wife to visit and find some wine. I will not come home until I am drunk today."
The emperor laughed, his face as kind as a spring breeze.
And the queen was really like a friend's daughter-in-law, giving gifts, holding Yu Rou'er's hand and talking, acting extremely affectionate.
That night.
Grand Master Qing Ming, Grand Master Qing Lang, the emperor and queen, the Mongolian couple, and Bu Changkong, seven people were sitting around a table.
Seating is purely based on the relationship between friends, and there is no custom such as women not coming to the table...
It's really just a banquet in the most ordinary and conventional way.
But this meal had a far-reaching impact and was even more significant.
After this night, Meng Fang's personal life finally calmed down.
Maybe there were some ideas originally.
But now, no matter whether they know each other or not, whether they are related or not, one is more honest than the other!
It is said that during the family banquet, Master Qingming and Master Qinglang took the first and second seats, while the main seat went to Mongolia.
The majesty of the Emperor and the Empress might as well sit in Bu Changkong with three guests, just sitting on four or five seats.
Who dares to bother with this?
Of all those who can be officials, who is not a smart person?
This banquet is clearly the Lord Qingming's platform for Mongolia, and even the deeper purpose is
It's to beat His Majesty the Emperor!
Even the emperor was beaten. If others don't open their eyes and find trouble with Mongolia...
Well, there is no need for Grand Master Qing Ming to condescend and do it himself.
Haha, didn’t you see Bu Changkong sitting there?
You will be rebelled at any time.
How easy it is to kill the whole family!
After Emperor Qin unified the world, he changed the calendar to unified in this year and designated the first year.
From this year onwards, Great Qin entered an era of recuperation and recuperation.
Meng Fang lives a quiet life with his wife. When he has nothing to do, he plows several acres of his own yard and grows vegetables by himself.
As a result, the interest of a thousand personal guards was aroused, and the entire Zhenguo Palace was turned into a private reserve by a group of veterans.
Here is a patch of green, and there is a patch of brilliant yellow. They often use this as a comparison.
It's not a competition of martial arts, but a competition of yield per acre, and a competition of whose grain and vegetables are more delicious and more pleasing to the eye.
When we have nothing to do, we just drink, gamble and play.
Sometimes when we are really bored, we can divide into several groups and have a group fight.
Whenever this happens, Meng Fang will look on with a hoe with a smile on his face. He is the kind of person who likes to watch the fun and drama and enjoy it.
Neither stopping nor participating, completely letting it go.
When he has nothing to do, Meng Fang will still accompany his wife, play chess, plant flowers, or chat.
This kind of Mongolian situation gave the veterans an unusually real feeling: Even if we, the Duke of Zhenguo, stay with his wife for the rest of his life, he will never get tired of it and will not be bored at all.
There is no time for flower viewing, outings, hunting, summer vacation... Anyway, just do whatever makes you feel comfortable.
To the outside world, the door is closed all year round to thank guests, without asking about worldly affairs, political affairs, or national affairs.
Even if someone came to the door, they would ignore it.
"I have been out of office for many years, and I don't care about all the right and wrong. You can make your own decisions in all matters."
"It doesn't matter how big or small it is, whether it's family or friends. You all enjoy glory, sit on wealth, participate in court, get trapped and fight. Even if there are future troubles, it's normal."
"What I should do, I already finished before quitting."
"I hope you all can give me some peace and quiet and don't disturb me anymore."
The gate of Zhenguogong Duke's Mansion is always closed, but the side door and the side door are always open, and everyone can see the intention of everything.
Well, if the Mongolian side still has some ties to the outside world, it is probably because of the old guys around him, all of them old bachelors. As the leader of the army, the Mongolian side naturally has to worry about their marriage, and he still urges them to do so.
It's very tight, the kind where you are forced to go on blind dates every day.
But this move gave all the old guys a headache.
The worst among us also have prefecture-level cultivation. There is no problem at all in living for hundreds of years. Can you just live your own life?
Can wood be able?!
The leisurely days passed like this day by day, year by year.
More than ten years passed by in a blink of an eye, and the various places in Daqin gradually calmed down.
In fact, in the past ten years, there have been aftermaths in various countries, but they have never become a phenomenon.
The most sensational one was the restoration of Bai Yiwen, the lonely minister of Yan Dynasty.
This restoration caused great turmoil in the Yan region at that time.
Bai Yiwen had been planning for this restoration for a long time, and even contacted Xiang Ba, an external branch of the Chu royal family, and many powerful people, such as Chen Guang, Wu Sheng, Liu Ji and others. Chu Chu was really tricked by him.
The beacon smoke is everywhere, and it looks like it is crumbling.
But these beacons of smoke and dust were all wiped out by Wu Tiejun and others.
However, the whereabouts of the few leaders are unknown, and they seem to have gathered together to form a secret gang force.
Da Qin did not relax in this regard, and also switched from open conquest to long-term espionage work.
Catching mice.
To a discerning eye, this is a deliberately reserved pocket.
Raising a bandit's self-respect is not considered, but through constant and harmless struggle, screening and selecting talents, it is
it is true.
The hunting list of the rebels was circulated in the world.
Mongolia went from being in the top three, all the way down, slowly slipping out of the top ten, top thirty...
And as talents continue to emerge, new hatred has replaced the old blood debt, and it is also too difficult to hunt down the Mongolian side.
As a result, Mongolia's assassination status continued to decline, and it slowly slipped out of the top 100...
Thirty-five years of unification.
Mongolia was already sixty-three years old at the time, and his physical condition was deteriorating, especially the sequelae accumulated from hundreds of battles in his youth.
His wife, Yu Rouer, has never practiced any martial arts, and her physical condition is worse than that of Meng Fang, and she already looks quite old.
All the personal guards were worried, but the two Mongolians were particularly open-minded.
"If you were still farming in the countryside, I'm afraid you would have been buried long ago."
Mongolia comforted all the brothers.
"Sixty-three is really considered a long life in our hometown."
Meng Fang stood at the door and glanced at the opposite side intentionally or unintentionally. Opposite was a fried cake shop.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Originally, the area around the Duke's residence, especially the Duke's residence, was second only to the Imperial City, and trading was strictly prohibited.
After all, it’s easy for people to have too many eyes and get into trouble.
What's more, Mongolia is the target of the remnants of all countries.
But the Mongolian side was not afraid of this. Instead, he took the initiative to communicate with officials and let many ordinary merchants settle in. The reason given was that he planned to cultivate fields and grow grain and vegetables. There were merchants nearby, which would make it easier to trade.
Whatever the officials can and dare to say, they naturally start arranging merchants to settle in as soon as possible. Of course, they are screened repeatedly. Only non-native Qin people who have no problems within at least three generations can enter the selection.
But over the past few decades, the area near the Zhenguo Palace has gradually turned into a famous commercial street in Da Qin. For decades, there have been no disputes, and there is no disturbance.
The fried cake shop directly opposite the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is run by a young man, who is busy with his young wife all year round.
Meng Fang said softly: "The first time I ate the fried cakes from this shop, it was made by his grandfather. The old man's cooking was extremely authentic. I eat five or six fried cakes every time."
"Later it was replaced by his father, and then this young man was doing it. A few days ago, there was a happy event at home, and he got a free day. It is said that his wife is pregnant, so he can save some blessings for the future."
The Mongolian voice was a little confused and hollow.
"Do you think their children will also be able to make pancakes in the future?"
The few veterans were relatively speechless. There were many things that they couldn't change.
Judging from the current situation, this young man's children will most likely be rich in the future. They will inherit their father's business, or in other words, inherit the family business. They will have their own inheritance and continue to make money.
"Life is full of hardships, and there are only a few opportunities to change your destiny."
Meng Fang sighed and said: "You guys, you have a lot of achievements and have already changed your destiny, but you have to accompany me, a bad old man, to take care of your old age. Aren't you wasting an opportunity that no one can even hope for?"
’s fate.”
The captain of the guard chuckled and said, "The general is wrong."
The Mongolian side is no longer a general, but for so many years, these guards have still used the title of general.
"We have learned a lot from the general and gained a lot of insights. In fact, life is ultimately about living a good life. Whether it is changing your destiny or charging into battle, from those days of fighting for the rest of your life to this day, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to go home and live a happy life.
.”
"This is also the dream of every person alive."
"The *** is rich and well-paid, and so are the poor people."
"It is the emperors, generals and prime ministers who, during their lifetimes, wake up to take over the world and lie drunk on the knees of beautiful women. If we look closely, we will find that this is not the case in their bones."
"So what if you are an expert outside the world? We still have to live the same life!"
"In the final analysis, there are no living beings in this world who are not just trying to survive."
"Having a good life."
The captain of the guard smiled and responded with some emotion.
Back then, he, or rather they, really didn't understand Mongolia's choice.
But after decades of this... he was shocked to find that if he were to break away from his current comfortable life to make achievements and fight on the battlefield, he would not want to.
What are you working so hard for? Is it just for the comfort in front of you?
Meng Fang sighed, and one sentence came to his mind inexplicably.
"Three thousand years of studying history is nothing more than fame and wealth; ninety thousand miles of enlightenment, and finally ending up in a land of poetry and wine."
The guards fell silent.
Chew these two sentences carefully.
They are all concerned.
"After all these years, we don't care about anything else."
Meng Fang breathed a sigh of relief, his words turned sad, and said: "Even though many brothers from back then came to ask for help, I never helped and just stood by and watched. Have you ever blamed me?"
The captain of the guard was silent for a moment and said: "The general was right back then. They took a different path and enjoyed a wonderful life and power that was completely different from ours... Since we parted ways at the beginning, the consequences will be
Of course they should bear it themselves."
"The general has done so much for them back then..."
"It can't be possible. They have enjoyed everything enough and they have to make a mess and have others clean it up."
"How in the world can this be true?!"
On this point, Meng Fang and his brothers all saw it very clearly and executed it equally without any sloppiness or disconnection.
After relinquishing military power, Mongolia used all its military merits to obtain generous salaries for the brothers who were killed in the battle, and also increased pensions for the brothers who died in battle.
In the following thirty years, a huge amount of wealth was used to benefit the descendants of the fallen soldiers.
It can be said that every possible care has been taken.
Although Meng Fang was the Duke of Zhenguo, it would be almost the same if we did not say that he had no money left in detail.
"I feel I have done enough."
Meng Fang smiled faintly, then looked at the fried cake shop across the road, and said lightly: "Even though there are still shortcomings, even though there are some regrets, the world is not perfect, and I have a clear conscience... That's it, that's it.
Bar."
He stood up with his hands behind his back and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to pancakes today. I can afford this little money now, so don't let me suffer..."
"Okay! Hahahaha..."
The guards chased after him happily.
Each of them has no regrets, and they have lived extremely comfortably these past few decades.
Especially under the persecution of the general, everyone has their children around their knees and the house is full of children and grandchildren.
If I had to say something regretful, it would probably be that although the general and his wife had an unparalleled deep relationship,... from the beginning to the end, after so many years, they did not have any heirs.
My wife was very worried in the past few years. She didn't know how many miracle doctors she saw and how many medicines she took.
Later, Zhang Luo took concubines for the general.
However, the general firmly denied it and left no room for comment. He even said bluntly: "I have killed too many evildoers in my life. I have pacified the six kingdoms for the Qin Dynasty. Although I have a clear conscience and feel honored to do so, it is still true that I have hundreds of millions of dead souls under my command."
"I have not been punished by God so far, and I am enjoying myself peacefully. I have a good wife by my side and my brothers are protecting me. God has already treated me well. But I have no heirs to treat me well. Compared with what I have received, it is already a huge mismatch. Why force me to ask for more."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mongolia’s performance has always been very calm and calm.
All the guards were also deeply helpless about this.
On this matter, they can be said to be a continent-wide effort. Except for the mysterious Doctor Feng, they have almost searched for all other well-known miracle doctors. Kong Gaohan, the first miracle doctor in the military, is even more famous.
The Duke of Zhenguo worked as a doctor for a whole year, but no matter how hard he tried, no matter how wonderful the prescriptions were, nothing worked.
The invincible military commander Wu Tiejun said this about the Mongolian side——
"The past five years have been spectacular, and the general trend of the world has changed because of him. But his whole life has been ordinary."
Fei Xinyu, Ma Qiange, Wu Tiejun and others all admired the Mongolian side but did not appreciate it. At the same time, they also felt a lot of regret and hatred.
Invincible commander!
Invincible soldiers and horses!
Extraordinary ability to understand the battle situation and capture fighter opportunities!
Facts have proved that the proud soldiers and generals under the Mongolian side can only exert their greatest combat power under the Mongolian side.
Because, except for the Mongolian side, the whole country would not obey any commander in chief!
Someone even asked Wu Tiejun face to face: "Who are you?"
When Lian Bu Laojun God Wang Jian went on an expedition to suppress a rebellion, many of his generals were former Mongolian troops.
Those guys looked at Wang Jian with a look of disdain.
"Who can command me except General Meng?"
This kind of thought has long been implanted in his heart, and this has led to conflicts with Wang Jian's old tribe.
It almost caused a riot between the three armies and a huge fight.
After all, old Marshal Wang Jian was so sophisticated in the way of advance and retreat that he had already reached a state of perfection. He treated Mongolia to a drink and brought back two words written by Mongolia himself.
"quiet!"
Finally this farce ended, no one screamed anymore, everyone obeyed.
The Mongolian side has long become a legend and a living myth among the Qin army.
However, now, this myth is getting older, and his shallow cultivation, which has long been abandoned, can no longer support his traumatized body.
There is also her wife, who is also aging, and the two of them always seem to be in a subtle same pace.
The deteriorating body gradually decayed over time.
In the autumn of the forty-first year of Emperor Qin's reign.
Mongolian wife Yurou fell ill.
This time, life energy and longevity are exhausted, and there is no cure.
And Meng Fang also appeared to be old and dying. He could only stay by his wife's bedside and hold Yu Rou'er's hand.
"Don't go too fast."
Meng Fang had white hair and warned earnestly: "Wait for me..."
A smile appeared on Yu Rou'er's face, and her originally bright eyes were now dull. She held her husband's hand and said softly, "Actually, I have been waiting for you in this life..."
"When I was young... I was waiting at home, waiting for you to come and marry me."
Yu Rou'er continued intermittently: "I'll wait until you get home from work and have dinner after we get married."
"We went on an expedition...waiting for you to come back...waiting day and night...and finally waiting for you to come back..."
"When you settle down your home, when you put aside your glory and come back to live with me..."
"Then for these decades, I waited for you to take me out to play, waited for you to come back after drinking, and waited for you to go to bed. Now, I am old and old... I can't do it anymore... I will wait for you over there..."
Yu Rou'er murmured: "You are always like a child, you always need someone to wait and look forward to... You are just a kite. Without that string, you will not know what to do."
Meng Fang smiled: "Home is when there are people waiting for you."
"Having care is a blessing."
"If it weren't for you, or I would have lost my life on a battlefield somewhere, it's just because you were waiting for me that I didn't die and didn't dare to die.
Meng Fang smiled: "Now, I dare. I finally dare. I'm afraid you'll wait over there for too long..."
Yu Rou'er didn't persuade her, you should be nice after I leave...
She just forced herself not to close her eyes and said vaguely, "This life is very happy."
Meng Fang said softly: "Me too."
Yu Rou'er said: "The life of an ordinary woman is originally so boring, just like an ancient well without ripples."
She widened her eyes, looked at Meng Fang, and said softly: "But with you, it's not boring and it's not like a dry well."
"A life like this is complete."
Her body trembled and she whispered, "I'm going."
Meng Fang said gently: "Wait for me."
"Hurry up."
Yurou'er murmured: "I wanted you... to wait for me..."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped breathing, and his eyes closed instinctively and never opened again.
Meng Fang smiled and said: "Fool, if I take the first step, wouldn't you have no support? Even if it's just a short separation, that won't work."
He turned around and said, "I'm leaving. Please brothers, bury me with the thorn tree."
"General!"
The guards were heartbroken.
"Don't get confused."
Meng Fang smiled and said: "On this occasion of parting, I have one last military order. Everyone, listen to the order!"
The two hundred guards stood up straight in an instant: "General, please give me your instructions!"
Meng Fang said: "My order, you are not allowed to follow me! After I leave, I will ask you to live a wonderful life. If anyone disobeys, it will be against my order. I will not die in peace!"
For a moment, the two hundred guards were all speechless. They had long decided to follow the Mongolian side. Now that they heard this order, they didn't know what to do.
"Does my order no longer work?" Meng Fang sneered. At this moment, it seemed as if the military god had returned from another life.
"Follow the order!"
Two hundred people roared in unison, but tears rolled down their faces.
"Everything after my death will be entrusted to you. The Duke's mansion will be returned to the state. The property in the mansion will be sold. Half of the money will be taken by the brothers and divided equally. The other half will be sent to the families of the widows of the brothers who died in the war.
"
The Mongolian side made arrangements calmly, spoke without any confusion, and explained everything in detail.
"I won't wait for the others!"
"My wife takes the first step and waits for me on the other side. At this moment, I can only be happy and peaceful, and I can catch up calmly."
Meng Fang smiled and said, "This life is very perfect."
After saying this, he let go of his wife's already cold hand, straightened up and straightened his clothes, then slowly lay down on the bed and murmured: "You haven't gone far..."
Before he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
