Starting from Nanjing Ferry and heading west along the Yangtze River, Lu Kang was in high spirits and looked like an old naughty boy. He looked around and talked about some interesting things about the Yangtze River.
Lu Xuan saw it in his eyes. Although there was a smile on his face, there was no joy in his heart.
He saw Lu Kang's condition in front of his eyes. Every day, he seemed to have a feeling that his father was leaving him.
This is what Lu Xuan is desperate for.
When the big ship arrived in Shu County, there was no waterway, so the group turned to land and took a carriage to go north. The carriage drove slowly and leisurely. When it entered Shu County, it was already early March.
Spring begins in March in Shu County. The sun is shining brightly, making people feel warm and comfortable. The place is full of greenery, and the people are busy with spring plowing, a lively scene.
Lu Kang was in high spirits and proposed to get off the carriage and walk. Lu Xuan could only agree. He and Lu Kang got off the carriage together, helped Lu Kang, and the father and son walked forward slowly.
Lu Kang had a nostalgic look on his face and said with emotion: "Emperor, do you still have memories of Shu County back then?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "My son almost forgot."
Lu Kang looked like I remembered him, and said feebly: "Back then, you followed me in Shu County, and I governed the Lujiang River. Although the Lujiang River is stable and the people's lives are good, they are still unable to do what they can."
"I can manage the place well, but I'm not good at military strategy. Especially when facing Yuan Shu's eager gaze, I seem very powerless."
"When Yuan Shu instigated Sun Ce to attack, that was the first time you led an army."
"I was worried at the time, but I still chose to believe in you, because you showed stronger abilities than me. This is something I have always been proud of. Each generation is stronger than the next."
"That's the most gratifying thing."
When Lu Kang spoke, he was somewhat eloquent and in high spirits.
He stopped stroking his beard, looked at the green mountains and green waters outside the city, and further said: "After defeating Sun Ce, you began to rise. You killed Yuan Shu, captured Yangzhou, and rose step by step. I saw it in my eyes, and I was happy in my heart. I’m so impressed, I didn’t expect that my son is so awesome.”
Lu Xuan smiled modestly.
Perhaps the old man's greatest gratification is that his son is better than me.
After Lu Kang paused for a while, he slowly walked forward and continued: "When we think of the younger generation, they are Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. As for Cao Cao, he is not worthy of being on the stage. After all, he Not from a good background.”
"Unexpectedly, Cao Cao rose up in the end. Yuan Shao is gone, and you stand out even more."
"Our Lu family actually has an emperor."
"A few years ago, I once met a fortune teller who said that I had a bad life and that my descendants would have a bad fate. Now it seems that the fortune teller was just talking nonsense and said that I had a bad life. In fact, my life has been smooth."
"You said that my descendants have a bad fate, but you became the emperor and the Lu family became the largest family in the world."
Lu Kang's eyes were bright and he said with emotion: "So as our ancestors said, man can defeat nature. In other words, there is no certainty about this person. It all depends on the individual."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Father is right."
Along the way, Lu Kang was mainly talking and Lu Xuan was listening.
Lu Kang was in excellent spirits, completely unlike the sickly look he had before. When the group entered the city, Lu Kang took Lu Xuan to the preserved Lu family residence. After walking around, they arrived at the Daguan Tower near dusk.
There were not many people in the Grand View Building at this time.
Lu Kang and Lu Xuan entered the Grand View Tower. Lu Kang looked at the Grand View Tower with brighter eyes than ever before, looking up and down.
After a long time, he said with emotion on his face: "Emperor, this is where you started. It was here that you won the queen's heart and rose step by step. Speaking of which, the queen is your lucky star and the turning point in your life. .”
Da Qiao smiled brightly and said humbly: "Father, thank you for your praise."
Lu Xuan said: "Father is right, marrying Da Qiao is the most correct thing in my life."
Lu Kang held on to the railing and walked slowly upstairs, looking at the rivers and lakes in the distance with a nostalgic look in his eyes. He seemed to have seen the scene of Lu Xuan attending a literary gathering in the past, as if he had seen the scene of his son reciting poems and composing essays.
He looked into the distance, tapped the fence lightly with his hand, and murmured: "In the spring of the second year of Chuping, Lu Jinning moved to Lujiang to be the prefect. In the next year, the government was harmonious and all kinds of things were prospered. The Grand View Tower was rebuilt, the old system was added, and the sages of the Han Dynasty were engraved on it. People write poems on it.”
"I'm going to the Grand View Tower today and write a composition to remember it!"
Lu Kang's voice came out.
The voice was low, but there was a hint of excitement.
After Lu Xuan heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face. Back then, he relied on his ability as a copywriter to defeat Sun Ce and win Da Qiao's heart with one article.
Lu Xuan glanced at Da Qiao beside him, his eyes met, and he couldn't say anything.
"I look at the grandeur of the Lujiang River, and when I live in a lake in Chao... don't be happy with things, and don't be sad with yourself. If you live high in a temple, you worry about its people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your ruler. As you advance, you will also worry, and as you retreat, you will worry. worry."
Lu Kang's voice became more and more passionate.
From a little low at the beginning, to high-pitched now. Because this article begins with his son Lu Xuan's governance of Lujiang.
This is Lu Kang's most proud article.
Lu Kang has recited this article countless times and has long been able to recite it by heart. When he was about to recite, he grabbed the railing with both hands, veins popped out on his forehead, but he suppressed the discomfort in his body.
Lu Kang's eyes widened, he took a breath and said, "But when will you be happy? It must be "worry about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness." "
At this point, Lu Kang's cheeks twitched, a hint of ferocity appeared on his face, and his face turned even redder.
puff!
A mouthful of blood spat out from Lu Kang's mouth.
His hand holding the railing suddenly loosened, and his body went limp in an instant.
Lu Xuan rushed over and hugged Lu Kang. Looking at Lu Kang in his arms, his face turned pale, his eyes quickly lost their luster, and there was still blood on the corners of his mouth. Lu Xuan was anxious and said quickly: "Father, let's go home. ,go home now."
"No, I can't go back."
Lu Kang's body trembled slightly, he raised his hand to touch Lu Xuan's face tremblingly, and murmured: "This life as a father is enough!"
After the words fell, Lu Kang's hand fell down.
The breath is cut off!
Lu Xuan pursed his lips and looked serious. He hugged Lu Kang's thin body tightly and sat there for a long time.
Da Qiao felt sad after seeing it. She could only stand behind Lu Xuan and comforted: "Your Majesty, let's go home."
"Yes, yes, go home."
Lu Xuan hugged Lu Kang tightly in his arms, with tears in his eyes, and murmured: "Dad, let's go home, go home."
He held Lu Kang with both hands and tried to stand up, but his legs were weak and he couldn't hold him up. Xu Chu saw this and wanted to come up to help, but was stopped by Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan took a deep breath, used his strength to pick up Lu Kang's frail body again, and then walked forward step by step.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Lu Xuan's body, making this figure look thinner than ever before.
