Chapter 229: The Last One
Before coming to Guangling, Zhen Yao had a great interest in watching Yuan Shao's corpse, but the cause of Yuan Shao's death was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, leaving only the unspeakable sighs in his heart.
The second brother is probably like Yuan Shao, who set fire to the granary in despair and turned into ashes with the house.
When Yanbei returned to Liaodong from Jizhou, Zhen Yao's body was gathered and placed in the coffin, so Zhen Yao had never seen Zhen Yan burned to a human shape, and only knew that when Yanbei's subordinates searched for his brother's body in the ruins, they relied on the jade pendant that Zhen Yan wore before his death, and the jade pendant was later pressed by Zhen Yao under his brother's tombstone.
The jade is all burned, let alone a person?
The cruelty of time begins with ignorance. Unconsciously, at a certain moment in my life, I quietly look back and remember from the beginning, and everything that was originally familiar has become unrecognizable.
More than ten years ago, Zhen Yao couldn't have imagined that the world would be turned upside down in a short period of time, and he couldn't have imagined that Zhen's family and himself would be rewritten on the original road. He is the youngest son of the Zhen family, and after the death of the eldest brother, the second brother took charge of the family business, and he is almost the same as his sister, except for reading the Five Classics and practicing archery and horses, the rest of the time is a flying eagle lackey.
The second son, who does not have to take on the family business, regardless of his status and status, whether he is a nobleman or a commoner, has an easier life than the eldest son. Zhen Yao knew at a very young age that young sons like them needed to assume only an auxiliary role in the clan, and learning to obey was more important than learning to lead. Brothers do not fight for power and profit, and the clan can prosper.
Like his origin, he can see old at a glance almost as a teenager. After the crown, those who have the ability to be the county officials first, and those who are not virtuous and famous will be filial piety and honesty to be the county order...... In the final analysis, in his twenties, he wanted to be a county magistrate in Jizhou. The next thing depends on the fortune of the time, and if you have the ability to do the glory of the county, you can leave a good name in the counties if you can't do it all your life.
It's nothing more than to serve the official party, cloth clothes to help the elder brother, marry a good wife and a concubine, you don't have to make meritorious contributions, just ask for peace and joy in a lifetime.
Later, when people look back at that time, there are always such and such clues of great changes. But if you are in the middle of it, how many people can see that the world will become what it is now? No one, the whole world, no one can foresee.
In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Jiao shouted that Cangtian was dead, I don't know if Cangtian was dead or not, Zhang Jiao was dead, and Huang Tian didn't stand up.
Why did Yanbei desperately want to annex Youzhou after the Erzhang rebellion? On the one hand, Zhang Ju Zhang Chun really has no resources to succeed, this is Yan Erlang's foresight, this is not only him, most of the people of insight in the land of Ji back then saw it more thoroughly than Yan Erlang, a reckless man; But on the other hand, it was Yanbei, a person who joined the rebellion twice, who stubbornly believed that although the Han family was in chaos, it would not be destroyed.
He was wrong.
He Jin didn't know that the general who held the world's soldiers and horses would die on the way to visit his sister on a sunny afternoon, and the palace gate would be cut into pulp as soon as it was closed.
Yuan Shao didn't know that his failure to save He Jin's life caused no one to cure Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Tiger, let alone that the whole family would die at the hands of the Yuan family officials he had recruited, and he didn't know that he would be buried in Guangling a few years later and turned into charcoal.
Cao Cao didn't know that being squeezed out among the party members and eunuchs made him so disappointed in political affairs that he hid in the thatched hut in Qian County to hunt and write books.
Even on the evening of April 22 in the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo, who heard that the emperor had recovered from his illness, could not have imagined that a day later, on the way to congratulate the emperor on his recovery, he would die in the conspiracy between his close servant Yizi and the three dukes he had personally promoted.
People can't even foresee what will happen in a day's time, so how can they foresee what the world will look like in more than ten years?
Zhen Yao now recalls that the emperor set up eight captains in the West Garden, saying that the supreme general reviewed the army, and the situation when the brother of the outgoing general Peng returned to his hometown seemed to be just yesterday, and everything became a thing of the past in a blink of an eye.
General...... It's his brother-in-law.
Even if it's the emperor, the emperor, maybe it's a brother-in-law in a short time.
If he's lucky, he'll be a relative.
Over the years, there has been no shortage of blessings, and there have been no fewer crimes, and the two years in Yedu have allowed him to see too many experiences that Jizhou scholars would never have encountered in their lives...... Zhen Yao is not a superhuman person, let alone foreseeable vision and wisdom. As for what will happen in the future, it doesn't matter to him for a long time, on the way from Jizhou to Youzhou for refuge, he only thinks about how to live, he has lived until now, isn't he lucky enough?
People are valuable in self-knowledge, but also in the original intention, Zhen Yao has no other ideas, since he has been obedient since he was a child, then it is good to continue to obey whether he wants to die or live. It is not easy to live and enjoy happiness in these years, and it is earned every day of life, but if you die...... It's not bad to be dead.
Sitting in the car back to Zhao State, Zhen Yao left the war-torn Guangling City far behind, and after doing these things, he could be regarded as fulfilling Yanbei's entrustment, and he didn't have to stay in the south anymore. Although it is a pity that I can't see the scenery of Jiangdong, there is no place in the world that is more comfortable than Zhao Yuan.
When he returns to Zhao Kingdom, the weather should already be in autumn, a good day for hunting!
Zhen Yao did not travel with Chen Deng, and entering the Zhao Kingdom was a major event, and Chen Deng hoped to make a decision after returning to Xiapi to meet his father Chen Qi. Zhen Yao did not force it, Chen Jue took over the official seal of Xuzhou Assassin History in Xiapi as early as before he went to Guangling, everyone understood what it meant for Chen Deng to enter Zhaodu, this matter could not run, and Xiapi Chen could not run.
Xue Zhou is even simpler, after the soldiers and horses were merged into Guan Cheng's naval army, his status did not decrease but increased, not to mention his own captain, the three surviving military marquis under the war also received the original position, one of them also did the military Sima, more than ten warships under the captain, and Guan Cheng combined nearly 100 warships to go straight to the river, so not happy. This is much better than staying in Guangling and being a lieutenant, Xue Zhou is too late to be happy, how can he refuse.
Zhen Yao on the way back to the north did not meet Lu Yi, which made him happy for a long time. I heard that it was Yanbei Chuanxin who sent someone to take him back to Zhao after Lu Yi's injury stabilized, and the car drove two days earlier than Zhen Yao...... General Lu fought a battle with the Yuan clan in the Kanto region for ten years, and won all battles, but he lost his credit in the last flirtatious battle, and he didn't expect it to be too comfortable.
In the past nine months, the accompanying soldiers and horses arrived in Jizhou on a warship crossing the Yellow River, and just after getting off the boat, they saw the riders waiting in the Liyang ferry in the palace of Zhao, and brought a message from Yanbei: "The king of Zhao wants you to get off the boat and go straight to the national capital, General Jiang has come back to discuss the affairs of the royal tomb, you are going to be a master craftsman, and you should be there." ”
Will you be a master? Jiuqing?
Zhen Yao, who was tired of traveling, touched his nose, "Zhen is the last one to know about this?" ”
