Jun You Ji Fou - Chapter 73
Thirteen years ago, this old thing, Yu Chaoting and Yu Su’s family, was not glorious. It disappeared in the books of the Ministry of Defense, and it was dusted in his memory. Today, I picked up the dust and picked it up again, and involuntarily remembered many things.
Su Shiyu leaned on the back of her chair, her fingers lightly pressed against her temples, and there was a trace of tiredness between her eyebrows. An autumn rain began to fall outside the house, and the air was cold.
Before the battle was finished, his father put him in confinement and waited until he returned to Chang’an, letting people replace Su Shiyu’s clothes with white shirts, and strictly forbid him to do anything with anyone else.
But the young man will be somewhat rebellious, not to mention his stubbornness in his bones, but it is not so obvious that he is covered up by his gentle temperament.
At that time, his uncle Su Xing had not been relegated out of Beijing. He sat in the hall to discuss with Su Jue. The young Su Shiyu passed under the corridor. After greeting the salute, he was about to leave but was stopped by Su Jue:
“Yu’er, come here.”
Su Shiyu walked into the hall and stood in front of them.
“Raise your arm.” Su Jue said.
Su Shiyu glanced at his father, hesitating for a moment, and slowly raised his hand. There was a small wash of light red on the inside of Ru Bai’s sleeve, faintly with a **** smell.
Su Jue looked dull, “What did I tell you?”
Su Shiyu lowered his eyes and did not answer.
“Hey big brother, forget it.” Su Xing couldn’t help but say, “You don’t know that Beijing and Central China are not very peaceful recently, the Huns over there are rampant, and others want to blend in, Yu’er is like this It’s too big to protect yourself. You can’t let him be chased or killed?”
“He is the only one who will have an accident, but if I can protect myself well, I will give him an injunction?” Su Jue turned to look at Su Shiyu. “You are now brave, can you listen to your father? ”
Su Shiyu whispered: “Dare not.”
“I haven’t found it before, this is the first time?”
Su Shiyu paused a little before saying: “No.”
“Kneel.”
He knelt down in response, and the next man was signaled by Su Jue and took a soft whip. Su Xing immediately changed his complexion and stood up. “All frankly, what did he do in the family law? Brother, Yuer, after all, he was still young…”
Su Jue said: “Isn’t that what you said just now?”
Su Xing: “…”
“A man of fifteen or sixteen years old, has fought a war, killed someone, he knows everything in his heart, what’s still small?” Su Jue took a whip, “No matter now, he can’t change it, he will be killed sooner or later. .”
“But…” Halfway through the words, Su Xing saw that Su Shiyu had raised her hand in silence to undress her shirt. She hurriedly said, “Did you take off your shirt and hit it? It’s cold weather, you put your clothes on What are you doing, I’m afraid it won’t hurt enough? Don’t wear it soon!”
Su Jue stared at Su Xing sideways, but didn’t say anything.
Su Shiyu took care of her clothes and whispered: “Thank you uncle.”
Su Xing echoed vaguely and sat back to his position with Su Jue’s gaze.
“Yu’er,” Su Jue stood behind him, not in a hurry to start, “Do you know why I banned you?”
Su Shiyu said: “I know.”
Su Jue nodded, “I talked to your uncle just now, and she agreed when I talked to your mother. I won’t take you to the battlefield anymore, you just have to learn to be a civil servant in the future.”
Su Shiyu froze, raising her eyes in disbelief.
“Is there a problem?” Su Jue said in a deep voice.
He did not hesitate, “I don’t want it.”
A soft whip fell with a ‘snap’, and the young man’s back suddenly opened a blood mark. He could not help but tremble, but he repeated his teeth with his teeth: “I don’t want it.”
“Yuer!” Su Xing startled.
“The child is wrong. Despite the punishment, why did his father make such a decision?” Su Jue didn’t show mercy, his whip marks were staggered on the white shirt, and there was a burning pain on his back, but he said: “I The four generations of leaders of the Su family, how many generals were out, almost no one chose to follow the text, and his father and uncle were also people who lived on the battlefield. Why should I be a civil servant?”
“I have decided that you don’t need to say more.”
“Why did my father decide so?” Su Shiyu asked.
Su Jue held the whip against his back and could not bear it: “The four generations of the Su family will not lack you a general!”
Su Shiyu looked at Su Jue suddenly, and was astonished: “Father…”
“Kneel!” Su Jue interrupted him with a stern cry.
“Hurry up and invite your sister-in-law.” Su Xing ordered while lowering his voice, he couldn’t help looking at his nephew with cold sweat. Everyone was so frightened that they held their breath, and the whip in the hall was scary.
Su Jue stopped, panting, not knowing whether she was tired or angry, he stared at Su Shiyu, “I will give you a chance to admit your mistake.”
The skinny boy’s face was pale, and his lip line was tight. “The baby doesn’t know what went wrong.”
Su Xing felt shocked, and did not dare to look at his brother’s face, and urged in a low voice: “Yuer!”
Su Shiyu ignored it, Gu Zidao said: “The child has listened to his father’s teachings since childhood, and he longed for the battle in the battlefield, willing to sacrifice his life for the country, not willing to stay in the church all day long. You tell me over and over again, what is the purpose of repaying the king on the golden stage, and bringing the jade dragon to die for the king.”
“But can you still lead the soldiers to fight?” Su Ju scolded, clenching his long whip’s hand, and the blood on the whip rolled down. “Only those four thousand lives, you should have been pushed out and cut! Take a good look at how you are now. When you kill someone, you don’t want to lose your own life. No one will believe it. Even if you are sent to the battlefield, but you can fight all the battles alone? Why should you let those soldiers listen to you? ? What else do you have to be a general?”
The hands resting on his side clenched into fists, Su Shiyu didn’t say a word, he was full of scars, and his white shirt was almost stained with blood, but he still refused to bow his head.
Su Jue looked at him and suddenly threw away the soft whip, and pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, “It seems that you can’t hear my words, well, since it will die in the hands of others sooner or later, it is better to let The father cut you off son first!”
The sword light was like snow, reflected on Su Shiyu’s face.
Su Xing didn’t care much, and rushed to stop Su Ju, “Brother!”
“Husband!” Mrs. Su rushed in and quickly took Su Shiyu into her arms. She had not looked at the injury carefully, and her eyes were filled with tears. “Yuer…”
Su Shiyu took Mrs. Su’s hand, her palm was cold, but she bent her lips and smiled at her gently.
Su Jue pushed away Su Xing, looked at it silently for a while, and then dropped the long sword in front of Su Shiyu. “Go to the ancestral hall and reflect on it. No one is allowed to give him food and medicine. When do you want to know when to come out? .”
The master of the house gave the order, and the guards of the ancestral hall would not dare to perfunctory. Although he was distressed, the young man kneeled inside with a wound, but he could not violate the order in the face of his wife. ”
“My son is kneeling inside. I just want to see if I can see it?” Mrs. Su said calmly and with a firm attitude.
“You also know that the master does not allow others to enter, let alone you…” The guard looked at the food box carried by the maid behind her and shook her head.
Mrs. Su sighed, and found a jade pendant from her sleeve. The fine sheep fat white jade was bright and colorful.
The guard suddenly panicked, “Ma’am, what are you, what are you doing? It’s needless to say that you don’t take the jade pendant out, and your status in the house is too dare to disrespect you!”
“Then you let me see the reputation, rest assured that I won’t stay long.”
“But Madam…”
“If the husband blames, I will naturally speak for you, please.”
The guard closed his mouth, looked at Yu Pei hesitantly, and then looked at the sincere look of his wife, and finally looked away and let go.
Su Shiyu was kneeling at the ancestral tablet, staring at a long sword directly in front of the altar table, and turned his head to hear the sound. Mrs. Su sat down in front of him, opened the food box handed over by the maid, “This is all made by the mother, Yuer, you eat it first, wait for me to give you medicine. Nothing, your uncle is persuading Looking at your father, he will not be able to pass in a while.”
Su Shiyu looked at her and shook her head, only whispered: “Mother.”
The tone of the teenager’s Qingrun was dumb, and she heard that Mrs. Su’s heart was astringent, and she couldn’t help but wet her eyes again. “Why do you say you should make your father angry?” She raised her hand on Su Shiyu’s face. Not sure yet? Apologize, bow your head to admit a mistake, or don’t hold back, cry out, his heart softens, how can he still punish you?”
Su Shiyu lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Mrs. Su sighed, “I blame your father?”
“No.” He said, “The child knows that his father can’t bear it anymore. His whip hand is shaking, and he pulls his sword and says he wants to kill me, because he never stops his hand and wants his uncle to stop him. If I cry again , My father will be more sad.”
Suddenly, Mrs. Su hugged Su Shiyu, and her tears fell silently. “My stupid son, you are such a temperament. You suffer from yourself.”
A squeaky door rang from behind, and Su Shiyu patted her on the back, “Mother.”
Mrs. Su let go of him and turned her head to look around. One side of Tianguang passed through the door and fell diagonally into the hall. Su Jue stood in front of the door with her light behind her and could not see her expression clearly.
Mrs. Su wiped her tears quickly, “Husband, just let Yuer…”
“I heard it just now.” Su Jue raised her hand to interrupt her, walked in slowly, and then sat down on her knees, staring at Su Shiyu, “I don’t think you think you are wrong?”
Su Shiyu kept silent.
“I have only you one son.” Su Jue suddenly said, “Do you know what I want from you?”
“Contributing to meritorious service will not insult the Sujiamen lintel.”
Su Jue looked at Su Shiyu for a long time, and suddenly smiled without warning. His face was cold, rarely with Yan Yue. At this time, there was a trace of tenderness between the eyebrows and smiles, “wrong.”
Su Shiyu looked at him unexpectedly.
“I hope you can live well.” I wonder if it is an illusion, Su Jue’s voice is a lot softer, “I’d rather you be mediocre, even incompetent, as long as you can stay away from the danger, even if you can’t stand out in Beijing for a lifetime, it doesn’t matter, as long as you are safe and happy Just live alive.”
“I have always been harsh on you, but now, I suddenly thought that I was wrong? That day you came back to me, I thought you were dead, but you are still alive, but what I do not understand in my eyes, those days I haven’t asked you what happened, and you certainly don’t plan to tell me….I was negligent and didn’t realize until later that my son changed.”
“Yu’er,” he sighed for a long time. “Father never regretted it in his life, even if he lost the battle and was framed by someone. But when I took you to the battlefield, it became my only thing and the last thing I regret.”
“father……”
“I know you are reluctant, but the battlefield is no longer suitable for you.” Su Jue looked at him. “It’s the same as saying that the king is on the golden stage and carrying the jade dragon to die for the king. , My Su family, no generals generals, are all loyal to death.”
The teenager remained silent for a long time, until Mrs. Su took his hand, Su Shiyu seemed to wake up and retreated, whispering, “Yes.”
The second lieutenant and the imperial doctor returned to the dynasty, and the officials of the various government departments immediately transferred the affairs back, because there was post communication in Huainan before, and there was not much backlog of official duties. As early as the early dynasty, the Huainan matter still prevailed.
King Xiling sent his envoys to present a grand ceremony and a list of officials. He said that the candidates for taking over Huainan had already been drafted. These days, His Majesty worked hard for him, and expressed his euphemism to let the southern army withdraw from Huainan.
When Han Zhongwen and others were in office, the court still had jurisdiction over Huainan. As a result, that place really fell under the control of King Xiling. It is just that the land of Huainan was originally divided into Xiling to conquer the country, and the officials should naturally be appointed by Li Chenghua. The special report has already given the court the face, not to mention the officials who were sent by the court to join forces to cause such a big disaster. Li Chenghua did not take the opportunity to ask for an explanation, and he had no reason to refuse him.
Then there was the punishment of the officials involved and the burial of Losin. Many courtiers remembered the anger that accused Luo Xin of the mutiny in the first place, and his face was a bit embarrassed. Li Yanzhen saw the atmosphere condensed, and suddenly mentioned the Qianqiu Festival a few days later, saying that it was by coincidence that Yun Yun and Su Shiyu returned. Outside the city, the banquet was held, and the big line was organized. Wenwu Baiguan looked at him speechlessly, his face did not look good.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Shang Shi Lu Shi of the Criminal Department went out with Su Shiyu, “Master Su, the prison car escorted from Huainan has arrived. I am afraid I will ask you again about the specific disposal.”
“Master Lu, you don’t have to be polite, just look for me if you need it.” Su Shiyu smiled.
“Yes, then I will thank you first.” Lu Shi suddenly sighed again. “Speaking of this, many of these prisoners I have dealt with, and when they worked together between the DPRK and China, they looked good. How could it be like this when it came to Huainan?”
Su Shiyu frowned slightly, and had not spoken yet. Another voice came from the side: “Because those people were not correct in their minds, but because Chang’an City was at the feet of the emperor, they did not dare to act arbitrarily.”
Gongshu Shangshu Yue Yuxuan came over and smiled at them, “Master Su, Master Lu.” He looked around for a week and seemed to find something, and asked Su Shiyu: “Strange, why don’t you see Master Chu?”
Su Shiyu gave a slight pause, and Lu Shi couldn’t help but say: “Sir Yue is strange, why would you ask us to ask Mrs. Chu?”
“Isn’t Xia Zhao Su all of you together with Mr. Chu? I’m not afraid of Mr. Lu’s joke. I have tried to make a conversation several times, but I was scared back by Mr. Chu’s cold eyes!” “Why? Master Su went to Huainan with him this time for a long time to investigate the case. The relationship should be better and better all the way. I thought that after you come back, the Chu Party and the Su Party should shake hands and make peace. Why does it seem worse now?”
Su Shiyu smiled faintly, “It’s no different from the past, Master Yue is more concerned.”
Yue Yuxuan gave him a meaningful look, and did not ask again.
In the study, Chu Mingyun patiently read all the case reports after leaving Beijing. When Qin Zhao came in with a stack of secret orders, he was holding his forehead to see Zhou Yi’s order from the west border. He heard the movement and raised his eyes, staring at Qin Zhao inexplicably for a moment, and asked, “What are you doing?” meaning?”
Qin Zhao paralyzed the ice cube face that had not changed for years, and placed the secret order at his hand, “understand the situation.”
“Did you make me happy?” Chu Mingyun leaned back and pushed away the thick pile of letters. “I don’t read it.”
Qin Zhao asked: “Why?”
“Why should I look at it? I can guess all the commands in my name. What else can I do to stimulate me?” Chu Mingyun laughed, leaned his fingers against his jaw, and looked at Qin Zhao with interest, ” Brother, I really don’t understand. My family’s reputation has caused you to provoke you. I don’t have such a big opinion about him. I urged me to kill him before. Now I’m taking his forged letter. Is it going to force me to die?”
Qin Zhao was embarrassed for a moment, and immediately became shocked. “Are you still not giving up?”
“No?” Chu Mingyun closed his eyes gently. “How to say, how much was a little angry, but even if I was angry, I was full of him.”
Qin Zhao couldn’t understand it, an urge to scold him rushed into his throat, but there was only a dry sentence left at the exit: “Confused!”
Chu Mingyun smiled indifferently, “You might as well say that I am hopeless.”
Qin Zhao closed his mouth and ignored him.
“Senior Brother,” Chu Mingyun slowly opened his eyes, and his expression became serious. “I don’t want to consume any more, I just started.”
“Do it?” Qin Zhao didn’t respond.
“Yes, I see clearly. Da Xia has not changed at all for more than ten years. Thirteen years ago, the Xiongnu moved their troops south, and the county guards abandoned the city. Not to mention the people below, how many guards will betray and throw into the enemy; Thirteen years later, when the interested people were slightly provoked, there were hundreds of officials arbitrarily slaughtering the city, leaving them alone to talk about it, which was a problem with the rule of the court officials. The foundations were rotten.
Qin Zhao looked at him, “…Is it really going to this step?”
“The ancestors of the Lijiakai dynasty set a death rule while abolishing the prime minister: the law of the ancestors is immutable.” Chu Mingyun smiled contemptuously, “Do you think Li Yanzhen has the courage to defiance the ancestor training, or think he can withstand the kings? ‘S crusade?”
Qin Zhao was silent for a while, and asked, “Are you going to force the palace?”
Chu Mingyun shook his head, “Since Shi Yu already knows what I want to do, it is impossible to be unprepared, not to mention that my power has just been damaged, and forcing the palace is the most unwise way at the moment. Li Yanzhen will leave the city to leave the palace a few days later. Qianqiu feast, you take someone to ambush, as long as he dies, I have my own way to ask the hundred officials to ascend me.
“Yes.”
“The Forbidden Army is already my own. I will arrange it for you. When you wait for the return trip, it will not be too late, so that this little emperor will finally have a good time.” Chu Mingyun’s lips appeared a cold smile, slowly and leisurely. : “When to live and when to die, it sounds great, doesn’t it?”
