Volume 7 Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao, the young man is raising his sword Chapter 206
Xiao Yuanche's honor guard was on its way back when he saw a primary school student running towards him.
Xiao Yuanche frowned. It looked like this junior high school student was a subordinate of Xu Jinghu, the leader of the Central Military Commission. Didn't he ask Xu Jinghu to lead people to Yang Wenxian's house?
Could it be that something has changed?
The guards on Xiao Yuanche's left and right wanted to stop him, but they were stopped by him. He raised his hand to call the junior high school officer to him and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
The principal saluted and then said respectfully: "I came here to find the Prime Minister under the order of General Xu. I do have something important to report..."
When he said this, he looked around, and then whispered: "Prime Minister, please come here, there are many people here talking..."
"Bold!..."
The guards had already started shouting at this small school.
Xiao Yuanche waved his hand, thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned over. The principal whispered a few words in Xiao Yuanche's ear.
Xiao Yuanche's pupils suddenly shrank, he took a breath, looked at the primary school principal and said, "When did this happen?"
The principal hurriedly replied: "It was already like that when General Xu went there."
Xiao Yuanche nodded and waved his hand towards him, and then the principal went to salute.
Xiao Yuanche thought for a while and suddenly called out loudly: "Wei Chang'an!"
Not long after, Wei Changan was standing in front of Xiao Yuanche's carriage.
Xiao Yuanche did not open the sedan curtain, but said in a deep voice: "Go and find Su Ling to see me!"
Wei Changan was surprised at first, then nodded and replied: "Are you bringing Su Ling here or..."
"In front of Taiwei Yang's mansion, you can take him directly there."
"Here!"
Wei Changan turned around and left.
Xiao Yuanche then waved his hand and said: "Turn to the Taiwei Mansion!"
... ... ... ...
When Su Ling followed Wei Changan to the gate of Taiwei Yang's mansion, he only took one look and his heart tightened.
In front of his eyes, the entire Taiwei Mansion was completely deserted.
The white curtains and gauze spread from the front of the house to the back, and you can't see the edge at a glance.
A gust of wind passed by, drifting like a tide.
Countless eye-catching soul-calling flags, combined with white curtains and plain gauze, are like waves in the sea.
My eyes were full of sorrow, and my heart was hurt when I heard it.
Su Ling also felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she calmed down and came to see Xiao Yuanche.
When Xiao Yuanche saw Su Ling coming, he just nodded to him with a solemn expression, which was regarded as saying hello.
After all, the battles in the Yang Mansion are really heavy.
The door of the mansion was closed, and there was no one in front of it.
Big words "Die" are posted on the door, one on the left and one on the right.
The black text on the white paper is particularly eye-catching.
Xiao Yuanche and Su Ling stood there silently. Not long after, Xu Jinghu strode over and saluted Xiao Yuanche.
Xiao Yuanche waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "What's going on here? Who died in the Taiwei Mansion?"
Xu Jinghu was speechless, clasped his fists and said: "Prime Minister, the general doesn't know. The general was ordered to come here. When he came to the gate of the mansion, this place was like this. Therefore, the general did not dare to move lightly, so he sent
Please ask the Prime Minister for instructions."
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "You are right to do this. With such a formation in his house, if someone accidentally collides with them, it will really make them angry."
Xu Jinghu nodded and said, "Please tell me, Prime Minister, what should we do now."
Xiao Yuanche looked at Su Ling next to him and whispered: "Brother Su, what do you think we should do?"
On the way here, Su Ling had heard Wei Changan say that Xiao Yuanche had been promoted to prime minister, and he had also been promoted from the commander of the army in the Sikong Mansion to the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Therefore, he was not surprised that Xiao Yuanche was called Prime Minister.
Su Ling thought for a while and said: "Now that you've come, let's make peace with you. You've already come, why can't you go back because of this battle? What can you do? Go up and knock on the door!"
Xiao Yuanche snorted, raised his eyebrows and said, "That makes sense, Su Ling knocks on the door!"
"I......"
Su Ling was startled, pointed at her nose, and looked up at Xiao Yuanche, but saw that Xiao Yuanche was holding back his laughter and had a calm look on his face.
Come on, as soon as I became prime minister, I was sold out.
Su Ling shook his head, looking resigned to his fate.
Su Ling had no choice but to slowly walk up the steps in front of the door, stretched out her hand and knocked weakly on the door knocker a few times.
The voice was too low and was instantly silenced by the wind.
Su Ling had no choice but to knock on the door knocker with more strength.
Three times in a row, there was no movement inside the mansion gate.
Su Ling was wondering.
Suddenly, a muffled sound of "squeaking, banging--" was heard, and the door of Taiwei Yang's mansion was slowly opened.
Su Ling was unprepared and hurriedly dodged to the side.
I saw more than a hundred men, women, and children marching out in formation.
They are all dressed in plain clothes, wearing plain gauze and filial piety, floating in the cold wind.
Everyone looked miserable and mourned deeply.
There were tears in the eyes and the eyes were red and swollen.
But seeing more than a hundred men, women, and children arriving in front of the mansion, they recognized Xiao Yuanche's driver and suddenly drove towards the driver.
The guards were so panicked that they drew their swords from their sheaths and shouted loudly: "What do you want to do? Don't come any closer! Otherwise, I will kill you."
The hundred or so men, women, and children were still about three feet away from Xiao Yuanche's car when they heard someone among them yelling sadly: "The Yang family, kneel down!"
The words just fell, "Hulala--"
More than a hundred people moved in unison and fell to their knees on the ground.
The white clothes are plain and flutter like catkins.
The sadness on everyone's face is even more broken and miserable.
Xiao Yuanche was sitting in the car, his expression constantly changing, and he said in a deep voice: "Why do you kneel to me? Your Yang family is full of people, but who has passed away? Taiwei Yang, where is the head of your Yang family?"
Xiao Yuanche asked three times in a row, but the hundreds of plain men and women kneeling on the ground remained silent.
Xiao Yuanche hesitated.
Suddenly, someone among the group of kneeling people shouted sadly: "Please enthrone the ancestor of the clan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred men and women burst into mourning, their cries shaking the sky.
His voice was pitiful and pitiful, and his appearance was heartbreaking and heartbreaking.
But I saw a figure flashing at the door of Yang Mansion.
A young man, covered with filial piety, was white as snow. Holding a majestic spiritual tablet in his hand, with tears in his eyes, he walked out of the door step by step.
This person's face is withered, which must be caused by excessive sadness, and his eyes are blood-like, which must be caused by excessive tears.
Her hair was disheveled, with only a filial belt tying up the messy hair on her forehead.
He followed suit step by step and walked tremblingly in front of this silent team of nearly a hundred people.
It was Yang Shuzu, the eldest son of Taiwei Yang Wenxian!
But seeing the sadness on his face, he suddenly raised the spiritual tablet above his head, as if he had exhausted all his strength, but his voice was still hoarse, but he spoke in a sad and sorrowful manner, every word.
"The patriarch of the Yang family, the Grand Lieutenant of the Jin Dynasty will first take the Yang family's secret writing. The spirit of the ancestor of the mansion is in front. People of the Yang family, kneel down!"
Yang Shuzu shook off his filial piety and knelt down first.
But when they saw the ink floating in the sky, the more than a hundred people of the Yang clan burst out in mourning, mourning and mourning, which made their hearts pierce their bones.
Sitting in the car, Xiao Yuanche couldn't help but gasp.
He suspected that he had heard wrongly.
What, Yang Wen died first? How is this possible?
Su Ling was also shocked.
But in an instant, it became clear that with such a huge battle going on in the Yang family, it could only be that Yang Wenxian had died.
Su Ling couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
After all, the Yang family was tricked by someone, and this veteran of the Jin Dynasty for more than ten years ended up like this.
Su Ling was greatly moved and was speechless.
Xiao Yuanche's pupils also shrank, and he suddenly walked down from the car quickly, came to Yang Shuzu who was holding the spiritual tablet high, and asked in a deep voice: "Yang Shuzu, what did you say? The old captain is dead? What you said is true.
of?"
Yang Shuzu then raised his spiritual throne with both hands, kowtowed until his forehead bled, and said sadly: "Prime Minister! How could this matter be false? My father was worried and frightened for a while because of my matter, and the government also gave him kind words to comfort him, but he never thought
Early this morning, Shu Zu went to greet my father, but he saw that he had already hanged himself on the beam..."
When Xiao Yuanche heard this, his body trembled, and his head suddenly hurt so much that it almost split.
My vision went dark and I almost fell down.
Wei Changan was so panicked that he hurried over to support Xiao Yuanche and said in a trembling voice: "Master...Master, please take care of yourself!..."
Xiao Yuanche's heart was shaken, his face was extremely ugly, and he rubbed his forehead vigorously.
Suddenly two lines of tears rolled down from his eyes.
The expression is sad and does not seem to be fake.
Xiao Yuanche's original intention was not to kill Yang Wenxian and the Yang family, but to force him to join the Yang family. He thought that if he wanted to kill Yang Shuzu, then Yang Wenxian would definitely go to his house to intercede for mercy.
You can push the boat along, sell favors, and give him a thumbs up, and you don't have to worry about Yang not completely turning his back to you.
However, he never expected that Yang Wenxian would choose such an extreme and strong approach.
Hanging himself to death saved his last bit of dignity as a member of the Yang family.
"Mr. Wen!...Why are you doing this!...Mr. Wen!"
Xiao Yuanche's eyes were filled with tears and his expression was extremely mournful.
There was no hint of pretense on his part.
At that time, Wang Xi rebelled, and twenty-eight princes in the world fought against Wang Xi. It was Taiwei Yang Wenxian who used the strength of his entire family to secretly rescue Jin Emperor Liu Duan, who was captured by the rebels.
Yang Wenxian then argued against all opinions and advocated handing over the Jin Emperor to Xiao Yuanche, who was still General Fenwu at the time.
Only then did Xiao Yuanche welcome the Jin emperor to Longtai, and Xiao Yuanche's strategy of obeying the emperor and disobeying his ministers was implemented.
So from this aspect.
Xiao Yuanche and Yang Wenxian can be called allies who share weal and woe.
Because of these things, Xiao Sishu, the third eldest son of the Xiao family, and Yang Shuzu, the son of Yang Wenxian, had known each other since childhood.
The Xiao and Yang families can be called worldly friends.
Only later, Yang Wenxian was promoted to Taiwei from the Ministry of War, and Xiao Yuanche was promoted to Sikong from General Fenwu.
As their status increased, their political opinions began to discord, and the relationship between the two gradually began to have cracks. They gradually became estranged from each other, becoming like fire and water.
But even so, Yang Wenxian has always remained neutral because of his old past, and has not completely turned to Xiao Yuanche's political enemy.
So when Xiao Yuanche heard that Yang Wenxian hanged himself to death, how could he not feel heartbroken when thinking about the past?
Xiao Yuanche burst into tears and said with great sorrow: "The past is long and cannot be traced back! The time when Mr. Wen and I joined hands to welcome the emperor is still vivid in my mind. How could Mr. Wen have passed away before me now!"
After saying this, he shed tears and became even more sad, with a vicissitudes of life in his expression.
When Yang Shuzu saw Xiao Yuanche like this, he burst out in grief and burst into tears.
Xiao Yuanche took two steps forward and held Yang Shuzu's hand. At first glance, he was filled with sadness.
At this moment, he could no longer harbor even a trace of murderous intention toward Yang Shuzu.
They looked at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears.
After crying for a long time, Su Ling and Xu Jinghu also came over with sad faces to persuade them.
Xiao Yuanche wetted his tears with his sleeves and said sadly: "Shu Zu, did your father Wen Xian leave any last words?"
Yang Shuzu then handed over the spiritual throne to the person beside him. While crying, he took out a letter from his arms with trembling hands, handed it to Xiao Yuanche respectfully, and said sadly: "Uncle Xiao... my father.
There was a letter left in front of the desk... My nephew didn't dare to mess with it, so he presented it to Uncle Xiao..."
Even Xiao Yuanche never thought that Yang Shuzu would call him by his official title - Prime Minister Xiao.
Instead, he used the title he used when the Xiao and Yang families were friendly many years ago: Uncle Xiao!
After not using it for many years, Yang Shuzu suddenly called himself Uncle Xiao...
Xiao Yuanche's body trembled and his eyes filled with tears.
Xiao Yuanche took the letter and tore off the seal tremblingly.
Open the letter carefully.
The neat small seal characters were reflected in Xiao Yuanche's tearful eyes.
Xiao Yuanche suddenly remembered.
Yang Wenxian is a master of seal script.
The two of them once sang poems together.
His poems, his seal script.
He was highly praised by the world at that time and was known as a master of both poetry and calligraphy.
But now, fate has made people look like strangers, separated by yin and yang...
The small seal is written like weeping blood:
"Yuan Cheru met:
I bid you farewell forever with this book! When I wrote this book, I was still a human being in the world; when you read this book, I have become a ghost in the underworld. When I wrote this book, my blood and tears flowed down the pen and ink. I couldn't finish the book and wanted to put it down.
, and I am afraid that you will not understand my feelings, so I endure my sorrow and speak for you.
Time flies, the years rush by, now you are old, and I am also dead, sighing husband!
At this time, the spring is cold, just like the cold winter. I will die calmly, knowing that I will live as a Jin person and die as a Jin minister. I will die without regrets.
I recall that when we were young, although we started at a young age, we did not dare to take ourselves lightly. We were young and heroic and vigorous. You also said to me that if brothers work together, how can anyone in the world dare to challenge us?
All the ambitions I had in those days were born from my heart. When I recall them, they are still full of ambition!
At the beginning, Wang Xi, the national thief, braved the disgrace of the world and plundered the capital. The world was devastated and the emperor was covered in dust. You and I will work together to punish the national thief, welcome the emperor back to Longtai, and revitalize the imperial court in the temple. At that time,
My brother and I are majestic and heroic, and we always have the ambition to serve the country, secure the people, and solve the world's problems!
However, fate plays tricks on people. Although I am determined and work hard for the sake of the country, I have no intention of neglecting myself. I am always willing to do my best. However, your wishes are not the same as mine, and they are thousands of miles apart.
As a result, the situation is like water and fire, and it is irreversible.
Every time I think about it, I feel heartbroken!
There is a saying in the world: When a bird is about to die, its cries are mournful! When a man is about to die, his words are kind!
I thought that I had been a prince of the Jin Dynasty for more than ten years. I failed to fulfill my duties and share the emperor's worries. This is disloyal. I failed to make the Yang family feel light and their lintel is shining. This is unfilial.
It is unkind for brothers to advance and retreat together, and share hardships. It is unjust for one person to seek death and disregard the lives of all people in the world.
When I die, I will reflect on myself. My sins are profound!
Even though I am dead, I still have a few words to tell my brother.
The Yang family must take responsibility for Long Huang's crime. If only I die, the whole Yang family will be fine! If only I die, the whole Yang family will be protected from criticism. That's what I'm saying.
The Yang family has gone through many vicissitudes of life before it became what it is today. Now that I am dead, I hope that my brother Nianqi will come together in the past and lend a helping hand to take care of them, so that the Yang family will not disappear from the world! Absolutely! This is what I said.
.
Before I died, I told my son all my aspirations to forgive my ancestors. I forgive my ancestors for being inexperienced, incompetent in civil and military affairs, and just mediocre. Therefore, I beg my brother to leave your nephew to live in this world. If you are so incompetent, why should I worry about you?
What's more, if the successor of the Yang family sincerely obeys the orders of his younger brother, rather than choosing someone else, what if he is too talented and cannot be controlled by his younger brother? This is the third principle.
I hope my brother will read my three words, believe them, and act on them! Then the Yang family will not rebel against Xiao for a hundred years!
The passing away is like this, but it has not yet passed. If we look at it from its changes, then the world and the earth cannot last for a moment; if we look at it from its unchangeableness, then things will be endless with us!
From this, why should we fear death?
If there is an afterlife, I would like to be a wind in the mountains, a water in the stream, a bird in the sky, and a tree in the soil, and never be a human again!
The parting towel is stained with blood and tears. I am sad for my husband!"
Xiao Yuanche read it three times in a row. Every time he read it, he was so sad that he couldn't help himself.
When he read this final letter for the last time, his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life and his clothes were filled with tears.
After a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up Yang Shuzu who was kneeling at his feet, patted his shoulder, and then said in a trembling voice: "My dear nephew, mourn your father properly for me!"
When Yang Shuzu heard this, his body went limp and fell to the ground, crying loudly.
Xiao Yuanche couldn't bear to look any longer, stomped his feet and turned around, facing Su Ling and Xu Jinghu in a sad voice: "Let's go, follow me back home, and send a team of sergeants to stay here. If anyone makes trouble, they will be killed on the spot."
!”
As he spoke, he turned around and drove slowly towards the car.
Suddenly he sighed to the sky: "Brother Wen, you can rest in peace!" This chapter has been completed!
