Chapter 241 It seems like an old friend is coming
On a sunny afternoon, Yuwen Hu, the deceased minister who entered the palace for disposal, saw an old friend under the eaves.
This old friend, he thought he had passed away long ago, was still alive and looked pretty good.
"I haven't seen you for many years, Sabao." Duan Shao looked at Yuwen Hu, who looked depressed in front of him, and said with a smile.
Yuwen Hu came to his senses and smiled awkwardly.
He had to wait outside the hall for the summons of the Emperor of Chu and could not leave, so he could only face his old friend in such an embarrassing manner.
"The news from more than 20 years ago seems to be a rumor." This is Yuwen Hu's opening remark, and he talks with his old friends and his former mortal enemy.
Now that things have come, the battle between the will is no longer interesting. Both of them are defeated by Li Li, and one is defeated early and the other is a "new defeat".
However, there are many topics when talking. After all, they are old friends and they all come from border towns.
Many years ago, they were all among countless townsmen in the six towns of Wei State.
However, unlike ordinary soldiers and grass-roots people, the Yuwen family and the Duan family have a good family background.
Therefore, when the rebellion broke out, the Yuwen family and the Duan family could form a team. Even if the team was relatively weak, they were still the coach of Qu.
However, in the midst of war, everyone has to face the test of life and death, and no one can be an exception.
Yuwen Hu's grandfather, father and uncle were not in the chaos, and only the fourth uncle Yuwen Tai was left to support him.
In contrast, the Duan family is lucky. Duan Shao's uncle Gao Huan is meticulous and can get along well with all forces. He can always turn bad luck into good luck.
Therefore, the Duan family also turned bad luck into good luck and moved up step by step with Gao Huan.
There was a time when Yuwen Tai and Gao Huan were both subordinates of General Erzhu Rong, the general of Tianzhu, so a group of generals from the Six Towns and their children were quite familiar with each other.
These also include Yuwen Hu and Duan Shao.
When Gao Huan replaced Erzhu's family and became a powerful minister with a powerful government and opposition, Yuwen Tai was just a subordinate of Hebayue, a major Guanzhong camp. Duan Shao, as Gao Huan's nephew, had a noble status, of course, that Yuwen Hu could not compare with.
As Wei divided the east and west, the two countries continued to fight, and Yuwen Hu and Duan Shao, who were divided into hostile camps, were naturally mortal enemies.
Gao Huan passed away, Duan Shao became the first noble relative of the Eastern Wei, Qi State, and the new generation of Wuxun of the Bafu of Jinyang;
Yuwen Tai died, Yuwen Hu was in power, and he eliminated his political enemies and became the first powerful minister of Zhou;
But no one expected that no matter "East thief" or "Western thief", the winner would not be decided, but would be defeated one after another by the opponents in the south.
In the blink of an eye, more than fifty years have passed in the Six Towns. The teenagers who were like rising to the sun, now are the middle-aged and elderly people with gray heads reunited among pavilions and towers.
The countries they once fought for have perished one after another. They are no longer enemies of life and death, but are old friends in the six towns who recall the past together.
"The imperial court has rebuilt six towns, both Wuchuan and Huaishuo, have changed a lot."
Duan Shao said slowly, talking about his former hometown: "The six towns in those days had to resist the invasion of Rouran, and the yellow sand that blew from time to time. Life was really hard."
"The six towns are no longer the shaking barrier on the border when the north wind blows south, but the starting point when the south wind blows north. If there is still a chance, you should go back and take a look."
After hearing this, Yuwen Hu nodded silently but did not answer.
As Yuchi Jiong analyzed for him, after surrender, he would still be investigated by the so-called "Qingliu" for the deposed and established the two emperors during his reign, and would be beaten and killed.
The face-saving king of Chu Li Li, who was sure that he would not kill him because of his voluntary surrender, would not exile him, but to "set a warning to others."
Now, there has been a rumor among the Chu State that he will be exiled to Guizhou, Lingbiao, and live in Guizhou.
Li Li will issue an official edict in person later.
Although the surface of the ridge is a smoky place with a hot and humid climate, and it is very unlucky to live there by people from other places, Yuwen Hu heard that Guizhou (Lingui) area is an exception.
The Lingui area has no smoky weather, the climate is quite mild, and there are very beautiful landscapes outside the city, so it will not make people feel bored and suffocated.
Yuwen Hu didn't know if he had his life to arrive in Lingui, but after all, he was not beheaded immediately, but he saved his life.
Most of the children and grandchildren did not have to follow him to Guizhou, but settled in Xiangzhou like other Yuwen clans.
According to Li Li's attitude towards Liang State and Qi State's royal family, Yuwen Hu felt that his descendants could survive peacefully.
As for Wuchuan's hometown, it is impossible for him to go back and take a look.
Perhaps, one night, I will dream of my hometown and many relatives and friends, but I will never go back to my hometown, and relatives and friends can only meet in my dreams.
......
The carriage was driving on the street, very smoothly. The shock-absorbing leaf spring "filtered" the vibration of the wheels, and only a slight tremor was transmitted to the carriage.
The slight tremor and some hypnotic effect made Wang Sengbian, who was half lying in the car, feel his eyelids a little heavy.
He just entered the palace to discuss matters, which consumed most of his energy, so now he was not able to do anything, so he was naturally sleepy.
At the beginning of spring this year, he suddenly fell seriously ill and was about to "go away", but he survived it with his obsession.
However, the body is weak and cannot sit for a long time. When you take a car, you have to lean against the backrest, just like lying halfway to ensure the "sitting position".
The sleepy Wang Sengbian recalled the scenes over the past few days and was energetic again: he finally saw the unity of the world and had no regrets in his life.
The Chu army invaded Guanzhong and recovered Chang'an. Then the crown prince brought the Zhou monarch and ministers back to the court. In the past few days, Kaifeng's city has been very lively, and Wang Sengbian, who has been sick, has also become energetic.
Whether it was offering prisoners of Taimiao or the emperor summoning the devastated king and minister, Wang Sengbian forced himself to participate in the illness, and watched the king of Zhou with his own eyes, ruled and bowed to the emperor.
He watched with his own eyes the last emperors of Liang, Qi and Zhou gather together and become the guests of the Emperor of Chu. This scene symbolizing the unity of the world made Wang Sengbian unforgettable.
The carriage slowly moved forward, and Wang Sengbian felt more and more sleepy, so he closed his eyes and leaned against the backrest.
After decades of life, countless scenes kept flashing in front of Wang Sengbian's eyes.
When he was young, he was from Wei. Later, he followed his father and brother south and became a native of Liang.
When he was young, he was a native of Liang when he was middle-aged. He was also full of confidence, but he was unable to show his ambitions. He also learned from the news he heard that his homeland was divided into two.
When he reached the age of knowing destiny, he finally waited for the opportunity. However, luck made people so hard that he became a native of Chu and witnessed the demise of Liang.
As the Grand Tutor of Chu, he witnessed the successive demise of Qi and Zhou, and witnessed the unification of the Chu State.
Witness the once humble little official Yu Liang became an amazing emperor.
Suddenly, he recalled that morning more than thirty years ago.
Xu Junqian, the consultant of the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion, brought back a minor official from Poyang, saying that he wanted to find a playmate for the prince.
When the minor official entered the palace, Wang Sengbian, who was the assistant to the palace, happened to leave the palace and glanced at him from a distance.
No one expected that this little official would achieve what he is today.
Wang Sengbian tried hard to recall the appearance of the smug official at that time, but found that his impression was blurred.
On the contrary, the appearance of many old friends kept popping up in their minds.
In a trance, he felt that the car had stopped, the carriage disappeared, and what appeared before him were those deceased relatives and friends, and many old friends.
There were so many people standing quietly by the car, looking at him with a smile.
Wang Sengbian suddenly felt that his body became relaxed, as relaxed as a feather, and his obsession disappeared without a trace.
In fact, his body was no longer good two years ago, but he wanted to see the obsession of the unification of the world with his own eyes and supported him to the present.
Now, he has seen what he wants to see as he wishes, and his children and grandchildren are also guaranteed, so he has no worries anymore.
Wang Sengbian got off the car and walked towards his relatives and friends.
In a trance, I suddenly saw the figure of my old friend Xu Junqian.
Watching Xu Junqian walk among the pavilions and towers of the Xiangdong Prince's Mansion, heading towards the Xiangdong Prince's pavilion, behind her, a young man follows.
This young man looks familiar, what is his name?
