When the rest of the family left, Yu Yi summoned Yu Bin to his room.

Yu Bin in front of him, with a thin appearance, a long beard hanging straight down to his chest, wearing a thin robe with a wide collar, the whole person looks like a skeletal stand, although the uncle and nephew are sitting opposite each other, but Yu Yi can clearly feel that Yu Bin's mind is not here, even if this nephew is still looking at him, but the eyes are empty and pitiful.

Seeing Yu Bin like this, Yu Yi didn't know where to persuade for a while, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "The old things have passed for many years, everyone is looking ahead, and the world is accumulating day by day, even an old man like me often has to feel that everything is negligent, and he must not wait, and he does not dare to sit idly and wander, lest he be abandoned by the world, Ah Lang, why do you have to do this?" ”

Yu Bin raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, as if he wanted to cheer up, trying to squeeze out a slightly unfamiliar smile, and said astringently: "Uncle is the pillar of the country, the king is on the humerus, only by being diligent can he live up to the world." But I, alas, I don't know that I am so degraded that I am annoyed by people, but I am really lacking in ambition, and old wounds are difficult to heal, and only in front of the group and extinction can I not lose my disgust and humiliate my family......"

"You think so, but you're wrong! Although my family is full of old and bad things, I am fortunate that I still have one or two relatives and friends who do not abandon them. Although I am far away in Jingzhen, I often hear about it. For example, the king has repeatedly written to me, hoping that I will enlighten you. You and the king, that is the real cloth cloth horn is good, what happens to adulthood is not determined, even if it is judged, this friendship should not be thrown away. ”

When Yu Yi said this, he sighed again: "A heroic man like the king is a minority in the world, and it is a great blessing to be friends with him." He has a heart for the community and the common people, thinks hard, and lacks strength in human affection, but in the past many years, just talking to me about you is no less than a thousand words, and he is deeply annoyed, Xianhe should not have sent you back to Jiangdong to clean up the end of the old year, so that now it is difficult to hide the intimacy, and it is often painful to see you so self-abandoning and self-hurting. ”

When Yu Bin heard this, his face changed emotionally, and there was a hint of warmth, and he said after a while: "Because of this, I can't rely on this old love to cover up, ignoring this shame and bringing notoriety to others." Wei Zhou is the hero who reorganizes the rivers and mountains and revives the society, how can he allow me to occupy such a treacherous and evil stream, rather than attracting the world's slander and ridicule in the future to cause a dilemma, it is better to be estranged from now on and avoid the evil ......"

He and King Liang knew each other very little, in addition to the friendship when he was a teenager, King Liang also took a lot of care for him over the years. Whether it was after he persuaded him to regain his strength, donate his life and directly summon him to serve in the Governor's Mansion, or after his father-in-law Zhuge Hui and his two uncles and others made a mess of the situation in Jiangdong, they did not have prejudice against him, and even agreed that he would return to Jiangdong to clean up the situation.

After the establishment of Xingtai, King Liang did not give up Yu Bin, and was more worried that he would be injured for a long time if he stayed in the sky, so he suggested that he go to a remote place to relieve his feelings and make merits, and wash away the old things.

But it is precisely because of such a heavy friendship that Yu Bin is even more ashamed to drag King Liang again, and does not want this old friend to bear the evil evaluation of nepotism and immorality because of him.

He was not a weak person who lacked tenacity and self-abandonment, but his life was repeatedly hit, and he had already lost confidence, and he did not think that he still had the ability to change the world's opinion of him, so he simply closed himself off, unwilling to involve those close to him, and lived in isolation for the rest of his life.

"Dao'an's argument is ridiculous! You think so, how is it different from when you crossed to the south because you were afraid of the surging Hu and did not dare to speak lightly about the Northern Expedition? Who is free from hardship in the world? Even if you are in the middle of Mount Tai, as long as you don't die, you have to be tired to move forward! Even if the world abandons you, you shouldn't give up on yourself like that. What's more, compared with the rest of the suffering people in the world, there are still many relatives and good friends around you who are willing to place high hopes on you, but your words and deeds are all mocking us close to us for ignorant people! ”

When Yu Yi talked about this, his demeanor was already very regretful: "You may feel that others are not you after all, and you can't treat each other as you are, and you will suffer from this pain." But now that this world is full of prosperity, are there not one or two heroic deeds that strengthen your heart and give you encouragement? Although my family has all the disadvantages, I have always been brave enough to help the king, and your self-defeating situation is really inferior to the ancestral son who came from the south? ”

"In the old years, the ancestral clan was in turmoil, and the sword soldiers pointed directly at your father, and after the fact, both were harmed, and your father died in the middle of the military disaster, and the giant thief Zu Yue was not embarrassed and ruined? Compared with my family's ability to accumulate achievements and wash away the past humiliation, what kind of danger and despair should the son of the ancestral family be when he is young and weak and scattered among jackals? Even so, this son has not given up on himself, taking risks to make a living, taking advantage of the situation, and it can be said that he has no responsibility for this. ”

Yu Yi rose up angrily, pointed at Yu Bin and said bitterly: "The ancestor asked this thief, it is not a pity to die, but to be able to leave this heroic son behind him to work bravely is enough to make the world envious, even I admire what this son did!" In comparison, you are hypocritical and dare not work hard, so that the people of the world will laugh at your father for not being as good as your ancestor after all? In previous years, the two competed for victory, and lost twice, but Zu Yue was so lucky that he was able to trust his ambition to the future, and his heirs finally won! ”

Yu Bin had always been depressed, but after hearing this, his body trembled, his face changed, and after a while, he turned over, bowed to his uncle's feet, and sobbed: "Thank you, thank you uncle for whipping me, I, I am really ashamed of being a son of man!" Over the years, I have only indulged in self-harm, and I still have a lot to do without caring about people......"

Seeing that Yu Bin finally woke up, Yu Yi also put away the fierce face full of questioning, bent down to help Yu Bin, stroked his back and sighed: "Dao'an, you really shouldn't give up, not to mention that my family's Yu Ze is not declining, and there are many generations of families, only your character talent is the most impressive. ”

Not to mention the secret words of the uncle and nephew, the next morning, the family of Liang Wangfu had already come to invite them. Yu Yi was overjoyed that his nephew had finally swept away the decadence, and the rest of the family did not carry it, so he only let Yu Bin accompany him and went straight to King Liang's mansion.

When the uncle and nephew arrived at King Liang's mansion, they saw King Liang standing in front of the door with his son and nephew from a distance, so they got out of the car from a distance and hurriedly stepped forward.

Seeing Yu Bin following Yu Yi, Shen Zhezi was also really happy, after a brief greeting with Yu Yi, he stepped forward, grabbed the slightly cramped Yu Bin, pointed at the other party and laughed loudly: "I'm finally looking forward to you kid!" Living in the same city, I haven't seen you for many years, I want to ask you, is it because my door is high and difficult to enter, or are you lonely and difficult to approach? ”

Hearing King Liang's smile as intimacy as in the old years, Yu Bin's heart was a little rusty, but then he felt a deep guilt, he raised his hand just to express his apologies for deliberately estranged over the years, but was pulled into the mansion by King Liang in stride, and pointed to Ah Xiu, Pu Sheng, Ah Yu and other boys who were standing on the side and said with a smile: "You boys, it is rare to see this cousin, and after saluting in the banquet later, you might as well ask him how your father Yu Nandu Jiankang was elegant and respectful in the old years, show his peers, remember to encourage himself, and do not insult his father's name!" ”

Not to mention that those boys rarely saw Grandpa's temperament so revealing and looked a little cramped, King Liang's intimate gesture also made Yu Bin's emotions infected, and then arched his hand and said: "I haven't come to the door for a long time, I don't want the king to be so grudgeful." How can the son of man talk about his father's old and bad deeds, the king is forcing me to lose my trust in front of my children! ”

While speaking, the group entered the atrium of the palace. Since it was just a family banquet, King Liang did not invite too many guests, but several families in Luozhong had a very close relationship with the two families, such as Ji You.

After Ji You and the others saw Yu Bin, they also pulled him to fight wine and ridicule. They can be regarded as friends for many years when they were young, but they have not been close for a long time because Yu Bin feels unbearable, and now they gather together to talk about old things, and it is inevitable that there will be tears in laughter. When he was wandering, Yu Bin even lifted his robe to show Ji You the scars left by his father Yu Liang who was severely punished for seeking a ministry for him.

In the past, the friends in Jiankang City were damaged, but now they are already in their prime, and they have grown into the backbone of the world. And when he saw that these people were talking about old things, Yu Yi in the banquet was relieved, but he was inevitably a little surprised. It's not that he doesn't have no friends, but it's a pity that Shen Chong still has to stay in Jiankang to deal with some finishing matters, and he won't be able to arrive in Luoyang until mid-November.

After the banquet, Princess Liang also personally attended the banquet and greeted her uncle and cousin, and said that her brother Sima Yan would also arrive in Luoyang and stay there for a long time in the near future, Yu Yi was also very happy.

Everyone was talking about it, and they simply moved the hall to reunite. Taking advantage of this time, Yu Yi grabbed Yu Bin and whispered to him: "I don't talk about the king's merits, but only one favor is really impeccable." After counting the events of the previous generations, there has never been such harmony in this world. It is really your own fault that you are alienated from this kind of character because of your own narrow-mindedness. My family is not pampered and proud, but it is only used if it can be measured. At the beginning of the new century, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, there is no trouble, and you can't stand on your own feet, and you live alone in depression, which really hurts others and hurts yourself. ”

After hearing this, Yu Bin also nodded, feeling that the previous attitude before extinction was too irresponsible.

When we move to the table and talk about it again, the topic becomes broader, and it is no longer limited to reminiscing about the past, but also talking about current affairs. Yu Yi was able to take the initiative to return to Luo, which was also a happy event for King Liang, because after the creation of the new dynasty, everything had to be returned to the center, and the big town of Jingzhou was also a problem that needed to be solved.

Everyone here can be trusted, and King Liang might as well say bluntly that after the completion of a series of ceremonies before the year after the year, the center will focus its energy on the southwest, sweeping away the Cheng Han, recovering Shuzhong and achieving Jiuzhi, which is a major event that has been discussed. Of course, in the process of the war, it will naturally be accompanied by the adjustment of Jingzhou's military and political affairs.

At that time, Yu Yi will stay in Taichung to help the center conduct a deep combing of the situation in Jingzhou. After all, he has been in Jingzhou for a long time, and his understanding of the situation on this side is far better than that of the people in Taichung.

As for Yu Bin, King Liang actually had a plan to arrange for a long time, but Yu Bin was withdrawn earlier, and King Liang did not want to be strong, but now that the knot has been untied, King Liang has no scruples, and directly told Yu Bin that the new dynasty will be prosperous, revise history and classics, and compile and organize poems and texts, and King Liang hopes that Yu Bin can be responsible for some of the tasks.

Yu Bin has no objection to this arrangement, he also understands that he has been away from the world for many years, and his talent is far from keeping up with the development of the times.
