Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A trace of pity flashed in Ji Xin's eyes.  Poor people must be hateful, and conversely, hateful people must be pitiful.  Ding Yi¡¯s lifelong struggle for revenge is a huge tragedy, and giving up a beautiful marriage is even more depressing.  Ji Xin knew the story of the little girl. He could not remember the name of the family, nor the name of the little girl. He only remembered that the little porcelain doll-like face was very shy.  When he fled and took shelter under the Zhu family, there was a little girl among the tenants of the Zhu family. She and Ding Yi, their childhood sweethearts, developed a vague relationship early on. Under the custom of the Han Dynasty that people could marry at the age of twelve, they were married at the age of a few.  It is not strange to have the idea of ????getting married. This was probably what young boys and girls thought at the time.  Ji Xin still remembers that Ding Yi once liked to play a game similar to playing house with the little girl. Ding Yi acted as the husband and the little girl acted as the wife. They pretended to be husband and wife, playing with earth and stones and pretending to live a normal life.  Very childish and innocent.  But everything came to an end when Ding Yi gave up on his own initiative.  As he grew older and was indoctrinated intentionally or unintentionally, Ding Yi began to pursue the ultimate power of an assassin. In order to reach the level of his cousins ??Ji Bu and Ji Xin, Ding Yi, who had ordinary talents, decided to draw a clear line with the past.  He decided to completely cut off the relationship with his childhood sweetheart regardless of his position. The little girl waited desperately year after year until he came back when he was 20 years old. She was already an old girl who could not get married.  Her parents were honest tenant farmers who could not afford to pay the double penalty tax year after year.  I had to send my precious daughter to marry an old widower who was almost 40 years old as his stepmother. The old widower had a son who was almost 20 years old and an 18-year-old daughter. The family also had few assets. The older children were not willing to step in.  When the little girl gave birth, the fights and quarrels never stopped.  Until the little girl became pregnant, the old widower was very happy to announce that the newborn would get the best treatment. So early the next morning, the pregnant little girl died in a well outside the house. The case was quickly revealed, and the old widower  The son and daughter killed the little girl.  Two felons were beheaded in public display.  The old widower died in depression with his family broken up and everyone dead.  Before he died, the old widower was still thinking that he should not marry that bad guy. In the eyes of the old widower, the little girl was the bad guy who ruined his family.  The life of that desperate woman.  They were all destroyed by the old man in white clothes covered in blood.  No one knows where she is buried.  Even her biological parents were heartbroken and never saw their dead daughter again. Ding Yi did not kill the little girl.  The little girl died because of Ding Yi.  What¡¯s even more funny is that before Ding Yi died, he thought of the little girl. The little girl had been forgotten in the corner for 50 years due to her ambitious plans and belief in revenge, and even her appearance was blurred.  Duke Ding is dead.  He was a failure in his life.  The little girl who remembered her childhood sweetheart before she died could not forget her even after 50 years.  When a lifelong belief is destroyed, probably only this little beautiful memory is worth cherishing.  Ji Xin tugged at his lips and hesitated for a long time without telling the truth. He didn't want his cousin to leave with huge loss, regret and annoyance before his death. This was the last trace of kindness to Ding Yi.  Next to the swamp.  Cao Shi didn't care about Ding Gong's joys and sorrows before his death. He had more important things to do.  If the wound is not sewn well, the bleeding will not stop, and Wang Meng's serious injury cannot be treated.  He is dying.  Wang Meng's face was as golden as paper, and his lips were trembling: "Junhou, I have something to say to you. Can you tell everyone to retreat further?"  Retreating to a distance, they know that this is a person's last hope before death.  "Junhou, do you still remember the hatred of the old master?" Cao Shi shook his head.  "You were too young at that time, you should always keep it in your heart." "What kind of hatred." "The emperor's hatred for insulting the old master! If not, how could the emperor hastily arrange for Princess Yangxin to marry you! That's because  The princes hate the emperor!" "Huh?" Cao Shi was shocked. There was such a deep connection between Princess Yangxin and him: "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"  Chunfeng was proud, would you believe those hatreds? Uncle Chen wouldn't let us say that he had looked away, but we couldn't forgive him. That day we knelt in front of the bed and watched the old master's life come to an end, and there was something in his eyes.  Showing reluctance and attachment, he deeply loves you, the lord, and everything in the Pingyang House. He hopes to shine on the lintel and honor the ancestors, worthy of the reputation of Taigong Cao Shen, and worthy of the death of thousands of people in the house.?'s expectation, but he couldn't do it and couldn't wait any longer. He could only entrust everything to you in a hurry. He hoped that you would grow up well, but he didn't want you to suffer humiliation under the emperor's majesty. He would rather you be inactive and not want to show off your talents.  Because the emperor is always mean and unkind, would you have believed this before?  " Cao Shi shook his head. If he had been beaten to death before, he would not have believed it. Anyone else would not have believed it. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was generally good to him. It was much better for Liu Che to be dumped. What kind of hatred could he say?  What kind of resentment can't resonate with him? "Junhou, do you still remember the history of the princes?  The path you are taking now is exactly the same path followed by Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang, and Yafu, the Marquis of Tiao!  Your majesty is unstoppable, and the emperor attaches great importance to the respect and respect of his ministers. But sooner or later, the emperor will get tired of your majesty and your awe-inspiring appearance. You, the prince, will change from a great hero to a prisoner, and all the people will avenge you.  All the officials begging for mercy for you will only strengthen the emperor's murderous intention. Zhou Bo's death was due to the Queen Mother Bo's intervention. Zhou Yafu's violent death in prison is a reflection of his great achievements!  "Higher achievements than the master?" Cao Shi trembled and his hair stood on end. When the nine ministers became prime ministers and won battles and became generals, which one could make Liu Che feel comfortable? It seems to be the second one. After all, the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Qing has been sung for thousands of years.  . But his situation is different. Wei Qing has a gentle and gentle temperament. He can bribe Mrs. Wang with 500 gold for 1,000 kilograms of gold. Even though he has been wronged and made friends with powerful people, he is still overwhelmed by the pressure.  Wei Qing did almost nothing in his later years, just being a clay body and a wooden sculpture, and barely managed to die a good day. There is no doubt that from the perspective of a good death, the prime minister was not as good as the general.  The reason for the good death of the prime ministers was that the emperor was used to monopolizing power and did not like to listen to cliches that were offensive to the ears but beneficial to the actions. Several prime ministers retired, several prime ministers were relieved of their duties and went home to farm, and several prime ministers were imprisoned and died.  Liu Che was turned around by his appearance and seemed to be on the path of a wise king. But the young emperor is only 16 years old this year. Who knows what it will be like in 10 or 20 years. It is impossible to say that the mean and unkind element of the Liu family has reawakened.  . Continuing to monopolize his power, Cao Shi looked confused. Wang Meng shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty.  Do you think he will be gentler and less ambitious than the late emperor?  " "No way!  In another ten years it should be similar to the late emperor.  " "That's it, your situation is very dangerous.  If you are not careful, you will make a mistake and there will be a big crisis.  " Cao Shiwen said: "Then what should I do?  How about resigning from all positions and returning to your hometown to become a peaceful prince?  " The wound was barely tied up with cloth strips from clothes. The simple bandage could support him for at least a quarter of an hour. Wang Meng grabbed Cao Shi's hand and raced against time: "The emperor will not agree. Such a statement by the prince will only bring consequences.  There are two unfavorable views. One is that the monarch is having a disagreement or taking the opportunity to threaten, and the other is that he sincerely retires and is unwilling to work with the emperor. Which one do you think is better?  " "It doesn't feel good. Taking advantage of the opportunity to threaten will make the emperor very angry. To truly retire is to be shameless. No matter which choice is suitable, is there a better choice?  " Wang Meng stood up and said with all his strength: "Indeed, I have been thinking hard for more than ten years to find a good way. What do you think of this land in the south of the sky?  " "I probably understand what you mean, it's too dangerous, I can't do it, and the emperor won't give me this chance.  " "You can do it, sir. As long as you help the emperor solve his problems, this is a good foundation for settling down and establishing a life. You can ask yourself to transfer the feudal state to the south of Tiannan Changzhen, and two generations can take root.  "Wang Meng stared expectantly. Cao Shi still shook his head: "It is very dangerous to be a powerful minister, especially a powerful minister with military power. Lian Po was slandered, Li Mu was unjustly killed, Meng Tian gave poisoned wine, and Peng Yue was brutally killed.  Han Xin was implicated and died, and Zhou Yafu was right in front of him. Since ancient times, once those who hold military power are suspected, there is only one way to die.  " "It turns out that this doesn't work either!  It seems that I am still too naive?  But I am not willing to give in!  I can't let go of the old Junhou's death for the rest of my life. I am very worried when I see the Junhou repeating the same mistakes. The Junhou was loyal to the son of his enemy and was humiliated, suppressed or even killed by the son of his enemy like your father. I feel very sad when I think of this.  It¡¯s so uncomfortable that I can¡¯t rest in peace even if I die!  " Wang Meng grabbed Cao Shi's arms, as if he had exhausted all his strength. Cao Shi understood, but the fate was in front of him, and he could not refuse, he could only passively accept it. Deliberately not meritorious? Too naive, there is no merit,  Favor gradually disappears, but it does not mean that you can escape unscathed. Cao Shi's name has long been hung high. If he does not perform for a long time, it will only make more people compare and ridicule him. In the end, he will collapse in humiliation.A complete defeat, just like Jiang Yan who retreated in order to protect himself. In his later years, he performed mediocre and useless, but was ridiculed as "Jiang Lang has exhausted his talents."  Wei Qing also did this in his later years, trying to be as stupid, conservative and insensitive as possible, so that he could have a chance to retreat as a whole. He finally escaped, but the Wei family was completely ruined if they didn't retreat.  The Cao family is no better than the Wei family. The Cao family has thousands of people including the head of the family and servants. The Cao family has more than a dozen distant relatives. Once the Cao family falls, it will definitely be earth-shattering, just like the Zhou family of Jianghou who was tortured seven times.  Bits and pieces.  Cao Shi couldn't bear this kind of life.  It¡¯s too much to bear, there¡¯s no need to bear it any longer.  "The Emperor has to repay the kindness he has shown me, and the Cao family's decades-long reputation must be preserved. I am worthy of the country and the country, and worthy of the late Emperor's entrustment. As long as the above four points are not violated, I will do everything possible.  Get out of this predicament. After all, I am a meritorious prince. I am not just a loyal minister of the emperor. I will run Tiannan according to your ideas, but the prince will not transfer it over. The emperor will not allow it, and Tiannan will be handed over in the future.  , I have a better idea, Uncle Wang came here" Cao Shi lowered his head and whispered in his ear for a long time. Wang Meng's expression changed from despair to surprise, puzzlement, and confusion.  Gradually, his expression became unbelievable, and he suddenly realized, and finally showed a happy smile: "Do you really mean what you said? Is it really possible?" Cao Shi nodded vigorously: "Uncle Wang thinks this is a huge plan made up temporarily, just for the sake of success.  Will you comfort me, Uncle Wang? This plan has been in my mind for a long time. This is not only responsible for myself, but also for the reputation of the Cao family and the country of the Han family. It doesn't matter even if the emperor has opinions about me, he is free to twist and turn.  Later generations commented that your family will be taken care of and nurtured by me. I will only tell this secret to Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang will take this secret to the top and tell it to my late father and ancestors. " "I understand everything!  Thank you so much for letting me know. I can go there with peace of mind and joy." With a relieved smile, Wang Meng placed his hands flat on the wound on his abdomen and slowly closed his eyes.  He breathed out slowly.  The servants gathered around involuntarily, and Sun Qi knelt down with a "pop" and cried loudly: "Brother" Ji Xin led his grandson Ji Ying over and bowed to salute. Cao Shi returned the salute and said in a wan tone: "  Everyone is destined to die. Death may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Wang Meng's death is heavier than Mount Tai, and the death of Duke Ding is lighter than a feather. " "Heavier than Mount Tai, lighter than a feather" Ji Xin fell into deep thought.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! PS: The turning point is finally out. I could have carefully polished it to make this plot smoother, but I have been hit by subscriptions recently and I am not in the mood. As expected, I still have it.  There are many readers who don¡¯t like the refreshing articles, and they immediately become dissatisfied. It¡¯s not easy to write a book. I¡¯m really drunk when I see this article.
