The cold river water swept Wen Shun's whole body into the river. Wen Shun was like an angry dragon rolling in the river, screaming with a heart-breaking voice. He was so lonely and helpless.
The sun was rising, and Wen Han woke up leisurely at dawn the next day. Sisters Xiang Fei and Yu Fei were waiting beside them with anxious expressions. Suddenly, a courtier broke in and urgently informed the queen that his condition was getting worse. Wen Han was like a bolt from the blue. With a cry, he hurried to Fengxiang Palace. Both Xiang Fei and Yu Fei were so frightened that their faces turned pale. When they hurried to Shao Shi, Wen Han came to Fengxiang Palace in panic. He saw Cai Yan lying on the bed, his face as pale as frost. , his hand kept swaying, but what he called out at this time was Wen Shun's name. Wen Han rushed over and held Cai Yan's hand. It was actually extremely cold. Wen Han cried out in pain and shouted urgently.
"Here comes someone!! Where is Shun'er!! Why hasn't he returned yet!!!?"
After hearing this, Hua Tuo hurriedly worshiped and reported what happened last night. It turned out that Hua Tuo was in a panic and heard the screams of his courtiers and maids. Later, he heard that Wen Shun left Chang'an City overnight, so he guessed that Wen Shun must have overheard last night. The shocking secret Wen Han's face changed drastically, and he secretly complained in his heart, fearing that his beloved son would not be able to accept it, and would commit suicide. At this moment, Cai Yan shouted intermittently:
"Sanlangsanlang"
"Yan'er!! Sanlang is here, Sanlang is here!! You have a good rest, Sanlang has not traveled all over the world with you, you must not leave Sanlang!!"
Wenhan cried hoarsely and put Cai Yan's hand on his face. Tears welled up in his eyes. He was extremely sad. Cai Yan smiled slightly, just like a flash in the pan. The beauty of that moment said softly.
"Sanlanghas a husbandlike this, Yan'eris enoughShun'er is stillyoung, Sanlang must not treat him tootoo harshlyand don't blameShun'er"
"Okay! Okay! I promise Yan'er, everything depends on you, everything depends on you!!"
Wen Han replied hurriedly. After hearing this, Cai Yan felt like a contented child. Her beautiful eyes, like flowing star waves, seemed to be tired. She closed them slowly, with a faint smile still hanging on her face, as if telling the world , she was just tired and wanted to have a good sleep
"Yan'er!? Yan'er!!!"
Wen Han trembled all over and screamed. His trembling hand slightly touched Cai Yan's face, and then he gently and gently moved it close to her nose. In an instant, Wen Han's breath stopped, his eyes darkened, and he passed out. past
Just as the Western Tang and Wei were at peace, about half a year later Queen Cai Yan of the Western Tang Dynasty died of illness. King Wenhan of the Western Tang Dynasty lost his beloved wife and was extremely sad. After a serious illness, the whole country of the Western Tang Dynasty was panicked and people were in panic. Wen Shun, the prince of the Western Tang Dynasty, disappeared inexplicably. Wen Han was heartbroken and worried about his son. His condition became more and more serious. All the important ministers of the Western Tang Dynasty rushed back to Chang'an to see Prime Minister Pang Tong to propose a plan. They taught Wen Han to declare to the whole country and choose a day. To bury Queen Cai Yan, Wen Shun had always been filial, and Wen Han was bound to obey him, so he reluctantly revised the order and announced to all parts of the country that on the fourth day of September, Queen Cai Yan would be buried.
Let's say that Wen Shun was heartbroken when he heard the shocking secret. He was like a walking corpse in a remote village in the mountains near Chang'an, wandering like a lonely ghost, like a maniac, drinking and crying day and night, and he was unkempt and disheveled. It was obvious that he was A handsome young man turned into a complete lunatic. One day, Wen Shun fell drunk. The owner of a restaurant in a village called Wangchen Township was kind-hearted and had been in business for many years. Although Wen Shun He is crazy, but he is dressed luxuriously, and it is obvious at first glance that he is either rich or noble. He must have encountered a great sadness and cannot withstand the blow, so he would take turns to be so kind as the shopkeeper to take Wen Shun in, and he is not afraid that he will have no money to settle the bill. Wen Shun also responded to every request and tried to persuade him many times, but Wen Shun only cried bitterly and refused to tell others about the pain in his heart, so everyone in the village avoided him. Over time, he got used to this madman who came from nowhere.
"Hey! Nowadays, the king of the Western Tang Dynasty is recruiting troops on a large scale. Anyone who is not crippled or crippled is going to join the army. This young man looks like he is not an ordinary person. He has such a good time, why not join the army and establish a reputation? It will not be in vain for this man. Body!"
The shopkeeper was over fifty years old, and the villagers called him Lao Niu. Lao Niu was very sorry to see Wen Shun still drunk, and couldn't help but sigh. At this time, an old man over forty years old happened to come to buy wine, and met Wen Shun. , couldn¡¯t help frowning, and said to Lao Niu sincerely
"Old Niu, why do you still let this madman here? He has scared away many of your regular customers for many days in a row. If you don't drive him away, your restaurant will close down!"
"Well, let's do it. My two little boys have joined the army. The military pay is very high, and the little boys are also filial. During the holidays, they will ask people to send some money back. I also want to enjoy happiness. This young man has no relatives here. For no reason, what if there is an emergency? Fortunately, the king of the Western Tang Dynasty governs the country well, and the common people like us can live a good life. If it were decades ago, this young man would have been robbed of his money by thieves. , thrown into the wilderness!"
"Hey! Lao Niu, you just have a good heart, that's all! Now, this is wine money."??¡±
The old man took the drink and handed the money to Lao Niu. Lao Niu laughed and put the money in his waist without looking at the money. The old man and Lao Niu talked about their daily life for a while, then left singing a song, feeling very leisurely and contented. Lao Niu was now at leisure, and took two bottles of wine and a basin of beef, and sat down in front of Wen Shun. He didn't know if Wen Shun had woken up, but he was talking to himself and murmured:
"I think back then, I was considered a hero, but it's a pity that we were in troubled times. I came from a humble background and had nowhere to turn. I could only fall into the mountains and become a bandit. Once this person makes a mistake, it will be difficult to look back. I do evil everywhere, and I don't know what to do with my hands. After carrying so many lives, my reputation became more and more prosperous, and I had more people. Even the government at that time had to give me three points. I occupied the mountain and became the king. No one within a hundred miles knew me as a big buffalo! But the good times did not last long! Later, my mountain village had a fierce competition with another mountain village. I got carried away and fell into the enemy's trick. Almost all my brothers died.
I escaped with only seven or eight people. When I arrived here, all my brothers were dead and I was seriously injured, so I was rescued by the old shopkeeper of this restaurant. The old shopkeeper knew that I was a bandit, but he did not report it to the police. , I didn¡¯t do anything ruthless, but I was prepared day and night. I even had evil thoughts, robbed his family, took the money, and ran away.
But the old shopkeeper was kind to me to save my life, but I really couldn't do anything. I thought that the old shopkeeper wanted to harm me, so I accepted my fate. From then on, I worked in this restaurant until the old shopkeeper died, without exposing me as a thief. , and even married his daughter to me. Although the villagers disliked me at first because of my unknown origin, the old shopkeeper kept protecting me. When the villagers saw that the old shopkeeper married his daughter to me, they thought that I was by no means a bad person, so they gradually accepted me.
This has been going on for many years. I have sinned so much that I am satisfied to be able to live a stable life like this. Moreover, I also understand the truth that things in the world are impermanent. Many of these things are often beyond my control. It doesn¡¯t help. As long as you are willing to cheer up and do good deeds, people around you will help you and accept that there are obstacles that you cannot overcome. Often, people cannot overcome their own obstacles.
It¡¯s just like me. Back then, I acted recklessly and committed a lot of evil, but the old shopkeeper was willing to accept me as a thief. But if I really had evil thoughts and killed the old shopkeeper, I would have died a long time ago. How could I enjoy my old age? Young man, I don¡¯t think you are a heinous person. If you treat yourself like this, your family will be worried about you day and night. If you figure it out, there is wine and meat here, you will have a good meal, and then go home. If you still want to If you don¡¯t understand, I won¡¯t drive you away.¡±
Lao Niu slowly talked about the past, and after saying that, Wen Shun didn't know how much he had heard, or whether he didn't hear a word at all. He stood up slowly, and went to the side to start cleaning up. At this time, suddenly there was a burst of noise in the distance. There was a loud noise, and there were crowds of people. When Old Niu saw it, he quickly went to ask the old man who had just bought the wine and said hurriedly.
"It's not good! When I heard that the queen died of illness, the king of the Western Tang Dynasty was deeply saddened. She fell seriously ill, and the whole country was in chaos. Important ministers from all over the country had just returned. In order to let the queen's soul rest in peace as soon as possible, the king of the Western Tang reluctantly announced to the whole country that on the fourth day of September, We thought about the kindness of the King and Queen of the Western Tang Dynasty, so we discussed it together and rushed to Chang'an to pay homage together!"
"Ah! There is such a big thing, and you are waiting for Lao Niu. Lao Niu will pack up his bags and rush to the young man with you!"
Lao Niu's face became anxious. He was about to leave the restaurant to Wen Shun temporarily and rush there with the villagers. However, there was half a figure on the table. All that was left was a few white coins and the two bottles on the table. The good wine and beef were all gone. The old man who bought the wine looked at the few ingots of silver with a strange look on his face. Who the hell is that madman? These two pieces of silver are enough to buy Lao Niu's entire restaurant.
On the second day of September, drizzle fell one after another in Chang'an City, and there was an atmosphere of sadness. The people on the streets were all wearing white coats and shoddy clothes. Outside Chang'an City, countless people came to worship. In the Hall of Merit, Wen Shun After changing his clothes, Wen Han knelt down and sat on the throne. The courtiers were all shouted away by Wen Han. Only the father and son were left in the palace. After an unknown length of silence, Wen Han said slowly
"My treacherous son, did you know that your queen was still mumbling your name before she died!"
Wen Shun¡¯s body trembled, he held back his tears and replied with a choked sob.
"The child is unfilial and is willing to be punished!"
When Wen Han heard this, he let out a long sigh. He didn't know why, but suddenly he found that it was hard to be like Wen Shun. Wen Han didn't respond like before. Wen Shun kept kneeling for a long time. Wen Han thought of Cai Yan's last words, and his heart tightened. , said silently
"Your queen's final instructions to Yu Gu are not to be blamed on you. Get up."
Wen Shun trembled again when he heard the words, but there was no response. Wen Han shouted repeatedly. Only then did Wen Shun come to his senses and slowly stood up.
