Because of my sudden wandering thoughts, it not only caused a strong tremor in my own heart, but also caused a sudden ripple in the sensitive heartstrings of Zhen Mi who was nestled in my arms. Looking down at Zhen Mi, who seemed to be frightened, her pink face turned pale with shock, and her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, I lovingly held her petite body tightly in my arms, A big hand gently stroked her back and comforted her: "I blame you, brother! You said some nonsense. Don't think about it, Mi'er's little head! Although things that will happen a hundred years from now cannot be controlled by human beings, brother will do his best. If everything goes well, we will learn from past mistakes!¡±
Zhen Mi curled up in his arms obediently and said leisurely: "Yes! With big brother here, Mi'er doesn't worry about any 'difficult' things happening. No matter how big the 'difficulty' is, big brother will be like him It can be solved inadvertently! The eldest brother is not only the mainstay of the Han Dynasty, but also the 'god' of the family! Now Mi'er really regrets following his eldest brother! There are so many things at home! Qi'er is also the future of the Tao family Mi'er abandoned all the hopes he had placed in him! After returning home, Mi'er must have told sister Zhen'er that Mi'er would take care of Qi'er. His father doted on Mi'er, and his sisters gave way to Mi'er. But you forgot such a big thing! Mi'er is at fault!"
Zhen Mi, who is thoughtful and considerate, indeed has a heart that she can¡¯t stop worrying about! It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t expect it! Thinking about it, can you not make her feel guilty? The 'Tao family' has become the largest family in the Han Dynasty, and the importance of the future head 'Tao Qi' is beyond doubt. One person's responsibility will affect the continuation of the family and the fate of thousands of people. The current Tao family not only involves two originally huge families, the Mi family and the Zhen family, but now it also extends to the Ma family, the Cai family, the Qiao family, and the Guo family. etc.
You must know that the so-called "nine tribes" involve all the relatives of the "paternal line" and "maternal line"! To put it more clearly: if something goes wrong with the 'Tao family', even Guo Jia's family, Zhao Yun's family, Ma Chao's family, Mi Zhu's family, Liang Xi's family, etc., who are now related to the 'Tao family' Everyone will be implicated. The destruction of a large family would almost involve the death of tens of thousands of people!
Let¡¯s take the destruction of Huo Guang¡¯s ¡®Huo¡¯ family as an example! Huo Guang's half-brother is Huo Qubing, and Huo Qubing is the illegitimate son of Wei Qing's sister and Huo Qubing's father. Moreover, Huo Qubing's mother was not included in the "Huo family" genealogy at all. It is such a relationship that is "confused" even if it is calculated. Because of the destruction of the "Huo family", it also involves the "Wei family" in Hedong not being hired by the imperial court! What's more, the families listed above are all the families of the "real" daughter-in-law of the "Tao family"! Therefore, while Zhen Mi was frightened, could she not take Tao Qi, who was still a 'little kid', so seriously? He even said, "When I go back, I will educate Tao Qi personally." The quality of a family's heir will determine the continuation of future generations!
In fact, Zhen Mi¡¯s words are also the most practical and reasonable arrangement. It's not that Zhen Mi takes her own abilities too seriously. In fact, Zhen Mi, who is astute and intelligent, is indeed the first choice that no one can match. She must shoulder this responsibility unshirkably in order to make the 'Tao family' Everyone felt relieved. Thinking that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, I couldn't help but feel very regretful. I bowed my head and rubbed my face on Zhen Mi's soft and smooth face, and said softly: "Oh, Mi'er has to be burdened and worried again!" Mi Ye affectionately wrapped a slender silk hand around my neck: "It's okay, it's okay! Who made Mi'er and my eldest brother become one? Mi'er did what he couldn't do to 'add trouble', Mi¡¯er won¡¯t do it either!¡±
"I've been talking for so long! Xiu'er still hasn't understood what my cousin and Mi'er said? Xiu'er is so stupid!" She has been gathering items next to the temporary cases. , stationery, "Good Letter" Diao Chan pricked up her ears to hear the "whole story", but at this time she began to complain with some self-pity.
While sighing once again, "A broad heart is also a blessing", I also picked up the petite Zhen Mi like a naughty child. I stood up and came to the place where she was still winking and licking her lips. Beside the charming Diao Chan, a free arm was stretched out to wrap around Diao Chan's charming body, and said lovingly: "If Xiu'er doesn't understand, don't ask! Back then, my cousin led Xiu'er out of Chang'an. , I just want Xiuer to live a happy and carefree life; I don¡¯t think too much about it. Mi¡¯er is born in nature, and some things are not allowed to be done because she is afraid that she will be tired. Instead, she does it because others are not as good as her. Good and anxious. Naturally, I have to favor Lao Mi'er! As for Xiu'er, she loves to talk and laugh and doesn't take everything seriously, so that's the best! No matter what happens, there is a cousin! To be honest , Xiu'er fell in love with you as a 'cousin' after arriving in Xuzhou! It's no wonder that my cousin has a large group of lovely wives. Otherwise, if Xiu'er had someone in mind back then, my cousin would have fulfilled Xiu'er's wish. "
"What are you talking about! Cousin! When Xiuer saw her cousin, she felt that her cousin was someone who could entrust Xiuer with her life.Later, for some reason, I became more and more attached to my cousin! Didn't Xiu'er say it already? Without cousin Xiuer, she would go crazy! Are you still saying this now? If you don't let Xiu'er worry about it, Xiu'er won't do it! Anyway, we have Mi¡¯er at home, a ¡®little girl¡¯ who understands everything! Cousin, please don¡¯t say ¡®what if¡¯ again! Xiu'er will be sad! "Taking advantage of the situation, she also snuggled into my arms, coquettishly coquettishly.
This moment, that moment! At different stages of life and reaching different statuses, we have different things to consider and worry about. I had just prepared to raise troops from Xuzhou and wanted to get a piece of the pie in this special historical period of the 'late Han Dynasty'. My main consideration was 'how to survive in this era of rising heroes and try my best to ensure that the nation's The vitality damage is too great'.
But now that we have reached a position that is even higher than that of an emperor, we have to consider more than just how to maintain our current status and everything we have! The most important thing is that we are now in an era of "monarchy" that is irreversible. "High achievements shake the master" is an irreconcilable contradiction that will inevitably appear in the future. I don¡¯t want to usurp the throne and stand on my own, so I have to consider the future of myself and my descendants.
??Judging from the fact that it is easier to achieve "clear distinction between Jing and Wei", in fact, "self-reliance" is the only choice. But I must admit that I am still a little "experienced in the world" after all! Now that I exist as the 'Optimus of the Great Han Dynasty', I can do almost anything I want. But if I truly regard myself as the "common master of the world", then I don't know how many "remaining ministers and old men" with strong foundations will join forces to attack! I will soon change from a 'virtuous minister and good general' to a 'rebellious minister and traitor'! It was for this reason that the cunning and scheming Cao Cao did not dare to abandon Liu Xie, the 'puppet' emperor, in his lifetime; how could I not be self-aware?
In fact, the ultimate goal of my northern expedition is inevitably to take the road of ¡®independence¡¯. It's just that the area of ??'self-reliance' has been transferred to a foreign land. It is conceivable that as a foreigner like me to 'enslave' the Yi people, the difficulties and obstacles are ten times greater than in the Central Plains! But in order to protect myself and not bring greater "war" to the people of my nation, I had no choice but to use my existing abilities to achieve "a certain personal gain" for myself, which also made it more difficult for me. Got it! The final result of this also adds a lot of "unpredictability" to your future! It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to ¡®save worry¡¯, but I really have no choice.
