Chapter 33 At that time the bright moon was(1/3)
The sunset light is falling.
Like an orange gauze cages the courtyard.
The dead trees in the yard remain silent.
In the distance, several dead leaves floated like a lonely boat.
Wang Fangyi's face was covered in the sunset, revealing a mysterious smile.
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the face that was more resolute and darker than Su Dawei, his eyes flashed, and he said in a memory tone: "I lost my father in my early years, and my mother was rejected by her mother-in-law, Princess Tong'an, and moved to Fengquan Villa.
When he was young, he worked with other servants to reclaim farmland, plant trees, repair walls and houses...
In my memory, I have never enjoyed the benefits of my relatives, and only a group of brothers I met when I grew up were willing to help me.
In fact, over the years, I have always been very surprised that although Queen Wang and I are cousins, they are not very close.
Even when I was in trouble, none of my cousins and uncles had helped me.
Why should I be implicated when Queen Wang was deposed?"
"Wang Langjun."
"I was demoted from a general in the country to the Chang'an Order. During my tenure, I was cautious in my words and actions and punished the nobles. The nobles were so afraid that they did not dare to make any changes.
Finally, Your Majesty ordered me to be the guardian of Hanhai Sima, but he was convicted and demoted to Guoyi, Shangde Prefecture, Shuozhou.
Even when my mother passed away, I couldn’t catch up with her for the last time.”
Speaking of mother, Wang Fangyi's tiger eyes were slightly red, and tears were floating.
"As soon as I went back to Chang'an, I heard that my brother Zhao Chiman was executed by Empress Wu and his body was tragically scattered in the city..."
His eyes were filled with tears, and he threw himself at Su Dawei: "What do you do if you don't?"
Su Dawei did not answer.
He could feel the sadness coming out of Wang Fangyi's body.
As a warrior, his biggest dream is to gallop on the battlefield, expand territory for the Tang Dynasty, find a title of marquis and ministers, and leave a name on Lingyan Pavilion.
When Wang Fangyi was most enterprising, he was first implicated because of the affairs of Queen Wang, and then demoted. His mother died, his brother died tragically, and his body was tragically tragically on the street.
These things are like stabbing a knife in the heart and cutting out the flesh piece by piece.
How strong is the heart to maintain a normal mind.
"Zhao Chiman was killed and his body was thrown on the roadside. No one dared to bury him. I said to people: Luan Bu cried and worshipped Peng Yue, which was a righteous man; King Wen of Zhou buried his corpse, which was benevolence; if he did not care about loyalty and kindness, how could he serve the monarch? So he went to cry and worship Zhao Chiman, and buried his body. At that time, I had the will to die."
"Wang Langjun, things have passed for a long time, and those who have died are gone, and those who are alive will continue to live."
Su Dawei said slowly: "You and I must look forward."
"Look forward?"
Wang Fangyi laughed twice and turned to Su Dawei: "I heard that you once hated the military and said good things about others, but after Li Dayong died in Baekje, you volunteered and asked to go to Liaodong, and eventually defeated Baekje and killed your enemies."
There was light flowing in his eyes, as if it was stirring and as if it was admiration.
"I thought at that time that Su Dawei was like me, a good man with passion."
When talking about Li Dayong, Su Dawei's back could not help but stand tall and his expression was solemn: "If Dayong hadn't led me into the Gate of the Alien, I might have been just an ordinary bad person now, and maybe I would have died in a certain mission. If he hadn't been him, I would not have been the same person I am today."
"So, we're the same."
Wang Fangyi turned his eyes and looked at the courtyard.
From his perspective, he was looking at the dead branches and water in the yard.
However, his eyes did not have focal length, as if he could see a faraway place through those scenes.
"Wang Langjun, I don't believe you did this alone. Who is behind you?"
Su Dawei said earnestly: "If you confess the person behind the scenes, I will plead with Your Majesty and ask him to be lenient. At worst, it will be exiled to Lingnan. After a few years, you can make a comeback when the limelight passes."
"Do you believe this?"
Su Dawei was stunned for a moment.
The so-called pleading with Li Zhi is of course not a polite word, but respecting Wang Fangyi's righteousness to his brothers.
But if you plead with mercy, the result is also predictable.
The crime of treason was the unforgivable crime of the Tang Dynasty.
There is absolutely no possibility of letting go.
At this time, Su Dawei also understood Wang Fangyi's mood.
Originally, he wanted to make achievements, but was implicated by Queen Wang.
He finally made some contributions, but was demoted for his crime.
The only relative, my mother, was not even as long as she met when she died.
The best brother died in the city again.
If I had changed myself to his position, I would not be better than him.
Perhaps, at that time, I had already given everything and turned to take revenge on the Tang Dynasty.
However, Wang Fangyi did not.
He still returned to the army and accumulated achievements little by little from Pei Xingjian.
In the Battle of Tubo, he represented Pei Xingjian to control the reinforcements of Anxi Protector and made military achievements.
Under this circumstance, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang recalled him back to Chang'an and seized military power.
Perhaps, this is the last straw in his heart.
Maybe something else happened.
But none of this matters anymore.
Everything was destined when he ordered the Longyou soldiers to rush into the palace ban.
This action is impossible to succeed.
It can be regarded as a suicide vent.
After a long speechlessness, Su Dawei looked at Wang Fangyi's side face and couldn't help saying, "I have heard that you should not persuade others to be good without the suffering of others. I have not encountered anything like you, so I cannot comment on right or wrong, but... why are those veterans in Longyou? If it weren't for your order, they would still be alive now, but they are all dead now, and their families and nine tribes have also been implicated and demoted to lowly family for generations."
The more you go, the more solemn the sound goes.
Finally, Su Dawei asked Wang Fangyi word by word: "What are they wrong? They became victims?"
Wang Fangyi's cheeks twitched.
The face with clear and angular edges and firmness showed a look of shame for the first time.
"I……"
"And why is it so coincidental? Just last night, Turkic people were mixed into the palace and prepared whale oil and black turbid oil long ago. And the weirdness of last night, is there such a coincidence in the world?"
Wang Fangyi's eyes flashed slightly, and because he gritted his teeth hard, the masseter muscles on his cheeks appeared like steel bars.
"Your expression has already told me the answer."
Su Dawei relaxed his tone a little, not wanting to force Wang Fangyi too much.
"Even if you are not afraid of death and do not care about your own affairs, you must always consider the families of the Longyou veterans. If you confess the person behind the scenes, I should ask Your Majesty for pardon for their family members on this ground."
Wang Fangyi's expression continued to change, and he was obviously moved by Su Dawei.
But for some reason, there was still a force to stop him from speaking.
"Also, I got a prophecy from Wei Sanlang. What's going on with this prophecy?"
Those three sentences flashed through Su Dawei's mind.
"Suddenly, a madman sharpened his sword at night, and the Emperor's Star was shaking and the Far High." - Zhang Xianzhong, Seven Killing Monument
"Everything is born to nourish people, and nothing is to repay heaven." - Zhang Xianzhong, Seven Killing Monument
"Don't tell the stone man that one eye can incite the Yellow River to rebel the world." - Han Shantong
These two sentences were said by Zhang Xianzhong in the late Ming Dynasty, and one was said by Han Shantong in the late Yuan Dynasty.
It would be outrageous to appear in the Tang Dynasty.
This is the answer Su Dawei wants to know most at this time.
I had just endured it for a long time, and I didn't ask until I saw Wang Fangyi's mentality shaken.
But as soon as he asked, he knew it would be bad.
Wang Fangyi, who was still hesitating, suddenly calmed down.
He pointed to Su Dawei at the dry mountains and rivers in front of him and smiled: "Su Dawei, look at how beautiful the scenery in this yard is."
beautiful?
Su Zaiwei followed his gesture.
