There was no words all night, and in the blink of an eye, the general military headquarters gradually became lively. Zu Dashou led a group of troops to see Chang Yu off. Princess Kunxing was very obedient and got into the carriage without making any noise this time. Zhu Cixiang stayed close to Chang Yu, struggling in his heart. He really wanted to say a few words to Zu Dashou, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to say. It was appropriate, and I had to peek at this legendary veteran from time to time.
Zu Dashou and Chang Yu walked side by side, chatting from time to time, but most of the time they said nothing. They were both the same kind of people. They would not be pretentious when talking about something, nor would they forcefully find something to say.
Zu Dashou could feel that the young man beside Chang Yu was always looking at him secretly. Of course he also knew the young man's identity, but he had never revealed it these days. To him, it didn't matter whether the young man was the prince or the emperor. Now He didn't care at all about the court's attitude towards him or the relationship between him and Emperor Chongzhen.
Nothing matters anymore! His current thoughts are not at all on this. At the moment, he has only one belief: to regain the lost land and capture Jinzhou City in his lifetime.
Throughout the ages, there have been many famous generals who wanted to regain lost territory, but few succeeded in the end. Moreover, the support of the imperial court was needed, otherwise everything would be in vain. But Zu Dashou doesn’t care about the imperial court’s attitude now, as long as the little eunuch It's enough to be on the same side as him.
"General Zu^..." Zhu Cixiang finally plucked up the courage to speak. Zu Dashou, who was originally looking at the mountains in the distance, suddenly turned his head to look at him. Zhu Cixiang trembled in his heart. Zu Dashou's eyes immediately reminded him of a word: Eagle. Watch the wolf.
This look in his eyes was too sharp, but it was not Zu Dashou's intention. A casual glance at him could make people frightened because of the fierceness he had honed during his life of military and decisive battles.
Seeing Zhu Cihong's demeanor, Zu Dashou knew that he was frightened. His face softened and he cupped his fists and said, "Sir, please speak."
"Uh... General Zu, we will see you soon, General Zu!" Zhu Cixiang quickly clasped his fists in return and whispered softly. Zu Dashou was startled by these words, but then he smiled: "Young Master, I will see you later!"
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky.
The evening breeze carries the faint sound of willow flutes, and the sun sets outside the mountains.
At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, there are only a few close friends.
A ladle of turbid wine will wipe out all the remaining joy, don’t sleep in the cold tonight
Just when the two of them looked at each other and thought about whether to say something more, Chang Yu turned a blind eye and sang softly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention and ears to listen. They couldn't help but sink into it. Princess Kunxing also endured it. He couldn't help but lift the curtain and look this way.
Life is rarely about joyful gatherings, but only about separation.
Thousands of love, a glass of wine, the sound of the flute.
I asked you when you were going to come. Don't linger when you come.
Everyone was fascinated for a moment. The melody and lyrics were full of ancient meanings, and the sadness of parting came to their faces. People could instantly fall into it and feel the same.
Chang Yu's song ended, but everyone was still immersed in it and couldn't help themselves. Xu Jiuzu sighed and said, "Master Du Gong, who composed this song is so famous?".
"Our family was so moved by the situation that we made General Zu laugh with random remarks." Chang Yu said shamelessly without changing his face or heart.
Zu Dashou was extremely surprised: "I never knew that Lord Du Gong is so talented in literature and art. He is really a talented young man with both civil and military skills!" Chang Yu chuckled and waved his hand: "Our family is ashamed to receive the reputation of General Zu. We soldiers are the only ones who can imitate Dongshi." Show off in front of some rough guys, it’s even harder to get into the eyes and ears of those literati and poets, if you can’t get into the elegant hall, how come you are versatile in both civil and military affairs? If you spread the word, you will laugh out loud at those people.”
"Don't look down upon yourself. Your talents are enough to make all the civil servants of the court ashamed," Zhu Yuyao said loudly in the car. Everyone couldn't help but look at her carriage. Some of Zu Dashou's men were even puzzled, why? Is there a girl?
Chang Yu didn't answer her words at all, but cupped his hands to Zu Dashou: "This situation and scene fit the meaning of the poem, so I saw that this song is called "Farewell", and I would like to send it to General Zu."
Zu Dashou said hello repeatedly, but couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's the last general who is bidding farewell to the governor. It's just that the last general is vulgar, let alone composing lyrics and music. Even if he writes a big character, he can't make it round."
"Hey, writing big characters is something that the useless civil servants in the court are good at. Our generals only need to know how to fight. I have never heard of writing big characters in ancient times to protect the country. It doesn't have to rely on our soldiers to be shrouded in gold, gold, and horse leather. Go ahead and write big characters, let's just have fun." Chang Yu's words immediately attracted shouts from the soldiers behind him, and even Zu Dashou burst out laughing: "Although this is biased, it's fun to hear it!"
After crossing the Ningyuan River, Zu Dashou wanted to send more but Chang Yu politely declined: "The grain and grass shipped by Gao Di will arrive soon. In addition, there is also a military fort in the north. The military affairs are busy and there is no need to spend time and energy on these polite things. ".
"In this case, we will not see each other off anymore." Zu Dashou clasped his fists and raised his hands, looked at Chang Yu and then looked at Zhu Cixiang: "Master Governor, eldest son, we will see you later in Japan."
Chang Yu cupped his hands without saying anything, and Zhu Cixiang quickly returned the courtesy: "See you later."
Everyone then said goodbye to their ancestor Dashou, reined in their horses and returned to the city.
Chang Yu, who had been silent for the entire journey, gave Zhu Cixiang a thumbs up.
Zhu Cihong has been feeling uneasy since he finished talking to Zu Dashou, because Chang Yu had previously told him to read more and talk less. Chang Yu had not spoken since he and Zu Dashou parted, which made him even more uneasy. At this time, seeing Chang Yu do After making this gesture, he quickly said: "Did I say the wrong thing?"
Chang Yu shook his head slightly: "Yes, there is something meaningful in what he said, and he made a pun. I must have been thinking about it for a long time." Zhu Cixi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded vigorously: "I've been holding it in for a long time."
"It's true, but if it's me, it's better to hold it back!" Zhu Cixiang's heart suddenly jumped up to his throat when Chang Yu heard what he said: "If it's true, why can't you say it?"
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and sighed: "Although you have thought carefully about it, you have forgotten an important part. If these words reach the ears of the emperor, what will he think?"
Zhu Cixi was stunned for a moment!
The relationship between Chongzhen and Zu Dashou was too delicate. When he surrendered, he did not express his stance. When he came back, he still did not express his stance. Zu Dashou has been busy in Ningyuan for several months since his return. There is no direct contact between the emperor and his ministers. The minister has not apologized, and the emperor has not asked any questions.
The father didn't say a word, so why did his son talk so much?
What's more, this sentence: "There will be a time in the future" is so evocative, how can it start to attract people's hearts? He is also a general who holds heavy troops to guard the border.
What's more, Chang Yu was still beside him when he said this. If someone with an intention to add a little fuel to his jealousy, it could range from improper words to a conspiracy to usurp the throne.
In short: the emperor’s heart is unpredictable!
Zhu Cixiang thought about it and immediately felt like he was falling into an ice cellar: "Well, what should we do? Please issue a gag order quickly, so that these words cannot reach the ears of the father."
"How to keep silent?" Chang Yu sneered: "Not to mention that in addition to my personal guards, I also have Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei. Although they all obey my orders on the surface, do you know who they are secretly? Do you think everyone around Youzu Dashou belongs to him?"
"Then, what should we do?" Zhu Cixiang was sweating profusely. He knew his father's suspicion all too well.
"There is only one way." Chang Yu flashed a serious cold light: "Kill everyone around me and Zu Dashou!"
ah! Zhu Cixiang was shocked: "No, that's not it!" Seeing Chang Yu rolling his eyes, he quickly said: "Don't scare me, I know you have a way, just tell me."
"The method is very simple. As long as nothing happened, no matter who reports it, it will be a false accusation!" Chang Yu chuckled, and Zhu Cihong was puzzled for a moment: "Nothing?"
Chang Yu breathed out: "I didn't see or hear what you said to Zu Dashou. I only said a few words when we parted." He pointed to the personal attendants and guards next to him: "They didn't either. I heard it, and Zu Dashou didn’t hear it either. If anyone else heard it, he must have been hallucinating. No matter what he said, it was a false accusation. Do you think the emperor believed me or the person who made the false accusation?"
To put it bluntly, you just don’t admit it, and you won’t admit it until you die.
Zhu Cixiang looked confused: "Is this okay? Will Zu Dashou cooperate? Send someone to warn him quickly."
"There is no need to send someone to tell you, who is Zu Dashou? He has eaten more salt than you eat rice. He seems to have a clear mind about what he can and cannot say." Chang Yu said calmly: "Don't be too frightened. This matter can be big or small. It is also a moment to test the relationship between your father and son. But don't worry. If the emperor is insinuating you just say this, nothing big will happen. Let's talk about it. , maybe no one will expose this matter, after all, it is suspected of instigating father and son, and only fools will do it if it is thankless."
"I'm afraid there are fools." Zhu Cixiang smiled helplessly. Chang Yu glanced at him and nodded: "After all, there are a lot of self-righteous fools."
"Okay, I know you're laughing at me." Zhu Cixiang sighed, and Chang Yu snorted: "Have you learned any lessons from the mistakes you've made?"
Zhu Cixiang nodded: "Be careful what you say and do!"
"As a prince, you should be walking on thin ice before taking the throne. You must be careful with every step you take and every word you say. There are many bloody lessons from past dynasties. Even after you take the throne, you must not speak nonsense, otherwise the government and the public will scold you. A bloody nozzle."
Zhu Cixiang sighed, suddenly looked at Chang Yu and said, "After I ascend the throne in the future, will you lie to me like this?"
"Hey, why are you so heartless? I'm covering for you, why don't you beat me up?" Chang Yu said angrily, and Zhu Cixiang laughed quickly: "Don't be anxious, you just asked casually."
Now it was Chang Yu's turn to sigh: "Those of us who serve as ministers, especially the internal ministers, are really unpleasing on the inside and outside. We are not human beings on the inside and outside. It doesn't matter, this is fate destined by God. We can only accept it. I will treat you when you ascend the throne in the future." Now that you are the Holy Emperor, you will never be vague about state affairs, but... you may even cover for your prince!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled: "Will you still cover the prince's prince's prince in the future?"
Chang Yu laughed: "I wish I could live that long."
