Chapter 583

(I went to the Beijing Writers' Association for a meeting in the afternoon. I don't have time to code. It won't be too early to come back and update in the evening. If I can't make it up in the third watch today, I'll make it up tomorrow. Ask for a monthly ticket!)

Su Buwei served the emperor and drank a few mouthfuls of rice porridge. The emperor's appetite was still very poor, but he knew he had to eat, so he frowned and forced himself to swallow the rice porridge, but soon all of them vomited out. Su Buwei hurriedly wiped for the emperor, and the emperor apologized to him like a child who had done something wrong.

Standing on one side, immortal Zhang's face was covered with a layer of haze. The emperor was unable to eat. Maybe he could close his eyes at any time and never open them again. This is an elusive emperor. His mind is very changeable, so he should be a fickle man. But he is also a man with firm perseverance that people have to admire. His persistence and his impermanence are so profound and clear.

He is fickle because he always changes his decisions temporarily. He is firm because he has a consistent ideal.

When the emperor was eating, Su Buwei specially ordered the guards to stay away. He didn't want the guards to see how weak the emperor was. In fact, it was not just Su Buwei. Even now, the emperor is still the pillar of many people's hearts. Once the emperor falls, a large number of people will collapse.

These guards are also loyal to the Yang family. Although they all know that the emperor is seriously ill, no one is willing to believe that the emperor will die soon. Once the emperor died on the way, they might become very confused as soon as their tight nerves loosened in recent months.

"It's windy outside. Your majesty, would you like to go back to the horse cart and have a rest?"

Su Buwei hung his head and asked.

The emperor shook his head slightly: "no, just sit here for a while. When the horse is fed, I will continue on my way. As soon as I close my eyes, I see the prince smiling at me and calling my father Emperor... I am an irresponsible father. I put such a heavy burden on his shoulder too early. In fact, I want to do more for him, but I know it's impossible."

Su Buwei's nose was sour and hung his head to massage the emperor to dredge his blood.

"Old Su dog"

The emperor suddenly called to him, "kneel down and kowtow to me."

Su Buwei was stunned. Although he didn't understand what the emperor meant, he got up and stepped back, then knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor solemnly.

The emperor smiled and said, "OK, I forgive you."

Su Buwei was stunned, then suddenly understood, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, damn it!"

The emperor smiled: "I know you deserve to die, but I don't want to kill you. When you and Peiyan were in the capital, I knew a lot of things secretly, but I didn't ask you. You secretly excluded Luo Weiran and fabricated his infidelity to me. I also know. You also planted people around the crown Prince and monitored the crown prince's words and deeds all the time. I also know... But I also know that you did these things Because of selfishness, not unfaithfulness to me. You didn't make a mistake to seek rebellion. "

Su Buwei kowtowed hard, and soon there was blood on his forehead.

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Get up, I said, forgive you. I know you are unwilling. You have done things with Wu Peisheng for so long. You are used to seeing how powerful Wu Peisheng is as a eunuch holding pen. From then on, maybe you want to be such a eunuch one day. But after I ascended the throne, I will remove the power and responsibility of eunuch holding pen. Wu Peisheng is unwilling. Why don't you?"

"You don't have a rebellious mind, but you still want to restore the right of eunuch BingBi. I haven't done anything to you just because I know you're just thinking about it. People can make mistakes, and I've made many mistakes, but if I can forgive, I'll never pursue anything."

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "if you kowtow to me, I'll think you admit your mistake."

Sue was not afraid of tears and could not speak.

Immortal Zhang was watching, and his heart was very sad, so don't turn your head and stop looking at the master and servant.

"When Lao Liu made trouble, I didn't want to kill you."

The emperor smiled and said gently, "but when the two madmen Chen hum and Chen ha came to the war ceremony, the moment you stood in front of me, I changed my mind. I'm going to stop asking and thinking about your private contacts with Lao Liu, because you never wanted to harm me."

"Slaves deserve to die!"

Su Buwei just kowtowed, and his blood had covered his old face full of gullies.

"Don't say that."

The emperor let himself sit more comfortable. He escaped from his cuffs and handed a handkerchief to Su Buwei: "wipe, you are already ugly. This bloody face is even uglier. Get up. Do you want me to beg you?"

Su Buwei quickly got up, bowed and took the handkerchief, but he was reluctant to use it. He raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeves, folded the handkerchief neatly and put it in his arms.

The emperor looked at his actions, and the smile on the corners of his mouth became more and more gentle: "The reason why I only broke it today is that I don't want you to have any burden in your heart. I know you've always been afraid. People who have done wrong are like this, lest someone turn over what I've done one day. I said today that I want to settle accounts with you. You kowtow and the account will be turned over... I want you to continue to work for you and me and work diligently for me."

After a pause, he said: "the prince is young and has not had time to cultivate several loyal people around him. After my death, you will continue to be eunuch BingBi. Pei Yan is dead, and I will not set up the official position of Huangmen Shilang, so... If you want to do so, I will restore your right to comb the memorial of eunuch BingBi, but you should remember that this right is used to assist the prince, understand?"

"Slave... Understand!"

When the emperor saw his promise, he took a long sigh of relief and looked up at the sky: "I want to... Ask the sky for another 30 years!"

……

……

After feeding the horses, Su Buwei picked up the emperor again and walked to the carriage. He is not tall himself. When two people who look very thin and old together, they all have a sad feeling.

"Old Su, remember, let me see the prince anyway."

The emperor fell behind Su Buwei and whispered.

Su Buwei's body trembled for a moment, and then nodded heavily: "I know. Even if I die, I will ensure your Majesty's return to Chang'an city!"

The emperor, um, said no more.

In order not to let the emperor behind him fall down, Su Buwei climbed up by himself when he got to the side of the carriage, then moved forward on his knees, got into the carriage, and carefully put the emperor down from the preparation. He took the blanket and covered it for the emperor, and put the kettle with hot water within the reach of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, lie down. I'm going to catch the car."

The emperor nodded and curled himself into the warm quilt.

Su Buwei came out of the carriage. He was about to wave the whip to let the carriage go, but his hand was stiff in mid air and didn't wave it.

He looked at Zhang Zhenren, who was standing in front of the carriage not far in front of him, and looked at the four old men who didn't know when to appear dozens of meters away. His face gradually became dignified. He looked back at the emperor who closed his eyes and rested. After closing the curtain of the carriage, he came down from the carriage, but didn't go forward. He stayed by the carriage.

The four men looked about sixty or seventy years old, wearing the same gray Confucian clothes. The high and low faces are different, but the temperament of the body is particularly similar. Standing in the front was a tall and thin man, taller than Zhang Zhenren. Because he was too thin, his Confucian shirt looked loose, as if it were hanging on a clothes hanger.

Among the three standing behind him, the one on the far left is bald, but obviously it is not a Buddhist, but all their hair has fallen off. Not only do they have no hair, but their beard and eyebrows are all eyebrows. The whole head is like a bald stone, so it looks very uncomfortable. Su Buwei could see that the man had some blood disease so that all his hair had fallen off.

In the middle is a very short fat man. Short and fat always seem to be involved. This man looks like the youngest of the four old people. His hair and beard are still very black. Maybe he is fat enough, so he has few wrinkles on his face. He is white and fat like a new steamed bread. It is worth mentioning that he just got to the waist of the tall and thin old man standing in front.

The fourth person is the most normal person. He looks very standard in stature, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Although his hair and beard are gray, he is in good spirit. He has a square face and looks very dignified. He must have been a very handsome man when he was young. It's just... There's only a black hole left in his left eye and one ear missing, so even if he looks solemn, his hair is carefully combed, and his clothes are also neat, there's nothing natural and unrestrained.

"Unexpected"

The tall and thin old man standing in the front obviously changed his face when he saw immortal Zhang: "unexpectedly, immortal Zhang of Wudang Mountain also waded into the muddy water of this pool. Didn't you say you would never touch political affairs? It turns out that immortal Zhang, who is highly respected, is only a liar."

Immortal Zhang looked at the old man and said, "Song Songhe, you pretend to be more real than me. I said you don't want to touch things outside the Jianghu. You said at the beginning that what you hate most is being used."

The old man called song Songhe shook his head: "In fact, you and I all know that when the world is square and the rules are strict, we naturally pretend to be virtuous. We sit on the top of the mountain to play chess and talk about Taoism every day. We look happy, clean and comfortable. In fact, we all pretend. Because no matter how high our cultivation is, we are just Jianghu people. Who wants us low status but high ability to meddle in when the world is too busy ？”

"But now it's different. The world is in chaos. Without constraints, people's hearts are wild. When the imperial power is stable, it's a mountain on those people's wild view. They don't dare to move if they want, because the mountain will crush them. But now the mountain has collapsed, and the wild view is springing up like bamboo shoots. Now it's full of mountains and bamboo forests. Therefore, we used to look idle in the past People who are as carefree as wild cranes are uncomfortable. "

Immortal Zhang nodded: "this is pertinent."

Song Songhe said, "you are also out of the mountain, and I am out of the mountain. I just feel that my cultivation has reached this point. I should have obtained more than others. I have to stand higher than others. If someone is willing to throw out bait, we lonely fish will naturally jump up and bite the hook."

Zhang Zhenzhen nodded again: "this metaphor is also appropriate."

Song Songhe smiled and said: "When I was meditating on the mountain, I once praised the great Sui Dynasty and said that the world is peaceful and the people are happy. People like us can practice steadfastly without desire and desire. Simple practice has no defects. This is not against our heart, although it is a little sour. Now we are entrusted to come out, it is also not against our heart. Because we are only for profit, and we are very happy It's simple and has no defects. But if you take the benefits of others, you should naturally do things for others seriously and try your best to do it without leaving any room. "

"So"

Song Songhe looked at Zhang Zhenren and asked seriously, "can you get out of the way?"

Zhang Zhenzhen looked at him like an idiot and answered a word with the same seriousness.

"Bah!"
