The prince is very fierce

After running around for the past few days, he was indeed a little tired. Xu Buling wanted to get a massage in Mrs. Lu's room, but for some reason, Mrs. Lu suddenly kept her distance and refused to ride on him, even if she expressed it or hinted. He rubbed his shoulders and dismissed.

Xu Buling had no choice but to give up. In the afternoon, Lao Xiao came over and said that King Su was looking for him, so he left the palace, got on his horse, and came to the bank of Yuanyang Lake.

It has entered the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the colors of the sea of ​​flowers have changed again. The flowers are still blooming and the fragrance is blowing. The never-ending wind sets off ripples in the sea of ​​flowers. The wind chimes on the eaves of the wooden house jingle incessantly.

Xu Buling walked through the sea of ​​flowers and stopped near the terrace in front of the wooden house. He looked up and saw Xu You sitting alone on the edge of the terrace with a bottle of wine in his hand. He opened the cork and smelled it, but did not drink it.

Xu Buring raised his eyes and looked at Xu You, who had white hair, with a bright smile:

"Father, do you have a problem with me?"

Xu You sat a little lazily and patted the place next to him:

"I'm going to the south of the Yangtze River right away, traveling around the world. I don't know when I'll be back. Your mother is not here. Logically speaking, I, the father, should give you a few instructions before leaving."

Xu Buring chuckled, flew up and sat on the edge of the terrace, and glanced at the wine gourd in Xu You's hand:

"It's not easy to get it from Shopkeeper Sun, why don't you drink it?"

Xu You didn't look old, but his white hair looked a bit weathered. He took the wine gourd and smelled it, and sighed softly:

"When I left Chang'an, I also brought a jug of wine with me. On the day of my wedding to your mother, the two of us sat here and drank a glass of wine...it turned out that the wine was really good. From then on, what kind of wine did your mother and I drink? It all tastes boring. I have been thinking about when I will go to the capital again and ask Lao Sun for another bottle of wine... Now I have got the wine, but your mother can't drink it. No matter how good the wine is, there is no point in drinking it alone. …”

Having said this, Xu You raised his hand and poured the hard-won wine from the wine gourd into the sea of ​​flowers under the terrace. The cool wine sprinkled on the petals and soil, and soon seeped into the ground.

Xu Buling sat in front of him and sighed softly. He wanted to offer some words of advice, but he didn't know how to speak.

Xu You kept looking at the sea of ​​flowers, with deep sadness in his eyes:

"Back when the Iron Eagle was hunting deer, the Lu family of Donghai would rather break than bend to become the leading bird. That was my father-in-law, your grandpa, and I, the son-in-law, who stood on the side of the Lu family for personal reasons. But the Xu family is full of loyal people, and my father will be his for life. All the merits are on me, how can I let my father bear the name of a rebellious minister and traitor after his death...

...At that time, I weighed and weighed for a long time and was in a dilemma. Your mother didn't want to think about the war that had harmed the people of the world and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so she advised me to think about the people of the world...

...I have thought about the people of the world. Both sides are in peace and peace. But your mother is gone, and you were jealous of the court because of your mercy, which almost killed you and also cost you your life. What is left of this merit and peace? use……"

Xu Buling thought for a while: "Even if we raised troops at that time, it would be difficult to achieve anything, so we had to choose that."

Xu You shook his head, was silent for a moment, looked in the direction of Chang'an, his eyes were slightly downcast:

"I originally regarded Song Ji as a brother, and I have never been unworthy of my loyalty to the Song family.

But the court is not a river and lake, and there is no loyalty.

The monarch and his ministers are as close as one family, and the ministers must rely on the monarch's power. Once they have a sword in their hands, the word loyalty is not worth mentioning.

My father is loyal and does not rebel. I may rebel. I am loyal and do not rebel. You may rebel in the future. If you don’t rebel, your sons and grandchildren will rebel sooner or later. Even I don’t know if future generations will covet that Zhang Long. Chair, not to mention the court opposite.

On the other side of the court, if Emperor Xiaozong does not cut off the vassals, the former emperor will cut them off. If the former emperor does not cut off Song Ji, he will cut them off. Song Ji has not been cut off until the new king ascends to the throne. One day, this knife will be cut off. Sharing eternal wealth is just a matter of course. It’s just empty words…”

Xu Buling did not deny this, and thought carefully: "Now the Holy Spirit has taken the sword, and there is only one layer of window paper left that has not been pierced. Whoever strikes first in this kind of thing will be the one to blame, and no one can achieve anything without taking advantage of the righteousness. Still have to wait for the opportunity.”

Xu You said what was in his heart for a moment, his face slowly calmed down, he put away the wine gourd and smiled:

"You are still young, and it is not your turn to worry about these things. Go out for a walk while you are young. Once you sit in my position, you will have no chance to spend time together and enjoy grudges. If you make a mistake, you will regret it. It’s a lifetime.”

"My father is in good health and has plenty of time."

"hehe……"

Xu You twirled a bunch of white hair and looked at it: "That's true. Apart from your gray hair, your father and I have a really good physique. If you go out and have an impulsive temper, maybe I can send you away first."? ?

Xu Bu Ling spread his hands slightly, taking it as an instruction before leaving.

Xu You glanced at Xu Buring: "Go and bring back some more daughters-in-law... I have only loved your mother in my life, so how could I have given birth to such a playboy like you..."

"..."

Xu Buling coughed lightly, jumped off the terrace, leaned over and saluted, and then left the sea of ​​flowers.

After Xu Buling left, the sea of ​​flowers became empty again.

Xu You sat alone on the terrace, looking in the direction of Yuanyang Lake, silent for a long time, muttering to himself:

"Sigh... If I marry a bunch of girls, you have to kill me... You should be very happy when your son marries a bunch of girls. They are all named Xu. You are being unreasonable..."

The breeze slowly blew through the sea of ​​flowers, and the sound dissipated with the wind, and I don’t know where it drifted to...——

Thousands of miles away, Wudang, Chu Land.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, the hill where Changqing Temple is located shows some autumn colors. Many leaves have fallen in the closed Taoist temple. It has been uninhabited for most of the year, and the eaves of the Taoist temple are covered with spider webs.

Tread

At dusk, the sound of horse hooves sounded on the mountain top above the sea of ​​clouds. In front of the gate outside the Taoist temple, a big horse with dark red hair slowly walked up from the winding mountain road, stopped in front of the Taoist temple, and a woman got down from it.

The tall woman wearing Miao clothing loosened her reins and stood outside the gate of the Grand View. After glancing at the copper lock on the door, she raised her spacious aqua blue sleeves, and a small sparrow flew out of the sleeves. , chirping, landed on the eaves of the Taoist temple, glanced at it for a few times, and then flew out again.

"Not here..."

The woman stretched out her green-white jade fingers to catch the little sparrow, and looked up at the small Taoist temple hidden in the world, with a bit of disappointment in her eyes.

After thinking for a while, the woman took out the writing brush from the bag on the side of the horse, licked it on the tip of her tongue, and after a while, she wrote on the door of the Taoist temple:

Hehe, Pindao misses you, why haven't you come back yet.

Wudang Chen Daozi.

After finishing writing, the woman looked at it with satisfaction, put away the brush, and led the big red horse slowly down the Evergreen Mountain...
