Chapter 65

? Seeing him leave angrily, the exhaustion accumulated on Huai Jun's body for the past few days was relieved a little.He had eaten his lunch and was about to go to see Chen Pu when he heard the eunuch's loud voice: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Mo is begging to see you!"

He stopped in his tracks, returned to his seat, and said, "Biography."

Prime Minister Mo pushed the door open, "See Your Majesty!"

"Prime Minister Mo, don't be too polite." Huai Jun pointed to the mahogany chair next to him, "Please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Mo sat down, took out a letter from his chest, and handed it to Huai Jun with both hands, "I am old and sick. I am afraid that I will delay the government affairs in the future. I beg to retire and return to the land. I beseech His Majesty's permission."

Huai Jun didn't receive the letter, so Prime Minister Mo had to put it on the table, and when he was about to speak again, Huai Jun was one step ahead of him: "Prime Minister Mo is always strong and strong, and the court is at the time of employing people, so it's too early to return to the land now."

"It is the blessing of our dynasty that the Holy Majesty cherishes talents. When the late Emperor was alive, he once mentioned to his ministers that the Holy Majesty was intelligent since he was a child. In the future, when the Holy Majesty enters the court of the Lord, he will definitely benefit the people. The late Emperor has high hopes for the Holy Majesty, and I also hope to see it with my own eyes. When I come to the Holy One to open the prosperous world again, but in the past few days, my old illness has relapsed and the pain is unbearable, so I have the idea of ​​​​retiring, but I want to go back to my hometown to recuperate."

Huai Jun pondered for a while, but still did not want to take the letter on the table, so he could only say: "The prime minister is concerned about the country and the people, and has delayed his health. I will immediately invite the imperial physician to recuperate the prime minister."

"Your Majesty, please don't worry about your subject." Prime Minister Mo stopped Huai Jun, smiled lovingly, and said, "Your left lung was injured by an arrow in the early years, and he became a sick person. The late emperor was kind and sought out many good doctors to help him." The minister recuperated, but unfortunately it didn't work."

Hearing this, Huai Jun didn't want to force him to stay, but before he stretched out his hand to take the letter, he insisted on staying a little longer: "Now that the government is not stable, once the prime minister resigns, the two factions will not be checked and balanced. The prime minister's heart is like a mirror. clear."

"Even though Wang Wang's power covers nearly half of the court hall, since the Holy Majesty is in the position of a dragon, he should use this power for his own use. All water in this world, no matter the river, flows with the trend. The Holy Majesty is the real Son of Heaven, Dragon, is in charge of the world, even if Wang Wang still has a different heart, I am afraid it will be the end of his battle." Prime Minister Mo paused, and said clearly: "Besides, the Wang Wang faction has many talents, and their political views have always put the people first. It happened to form a check and balance with King Qing's faction, which is headed by national interests, which is why the late emperor never stopped the holy majesty and Wang Wang from forming a party."

"But the scourge of party feathers has been seen in all dynasties. Even if the water flows smoothly, if someone with a heart deliberately stops it, the water will be diverted. Isn't this a big taboo of the dynasty?"

"The party members can only rely on the grace of the saints. As long as the two factions are not biased, it will be difficult to cause disaster." Prime Minister Mo looked at Huai Jun's face, and in order to let himself leave with peace of mind, he decided to express his thoughts in one word. He said without hesitation: "Take the case of the Hungarian Kingdom as an example. The whole court knows whether General Zhenyuan should return to the border. Stepping forward, but King Wang's power has been greatly reduced, and he is powerless to fight back. Even if Wang Wang is a disaster, King Qing's faction has to guard against it."

"It sounds like I was wrong?" Huai Junyan asked insincerely. Although he respected Prime Minister Mo, he was determined to eradicate Nuoxu's influence and took back half of Yongting's tiger talisman, so naturally he didn't listen. Prime Minister Mo's words.

What's more, Mo Huichuan is someone close to Nuoxu. Even though Prime Minister Mo cares about his family and country, it cannot be concluded that he did not protect Nuoxu because of his son.

"Wei Chen is frightened."

Huai Jun thought for a while, took the letter on the table away, and asked again: "Then how should the Prime Minister think about the Hungarian matter?"

Prime Minister Mo said bluntly, "General Zhenyuan."

"There is no other way?"

"Jiang Huaifeng." Prime Minister Mo took a step back and said, but then he added: "General Zhennan is a military prodigy with a variety of tactics, but the scourge of the Nanman is more severe than that of the Huns, and the two places are far apart. country, it will give the various tribes of the Nanman a chance to take advantage of it."

"Well, what the prime minister said is reasonable, I will reconsider this matter." Huai Jun asked again: "The prime minister also mentioned that I should use Wang Wang's henchmen for my own use, please explain in detail."

"It's not necessary to go into details, just four words, both grace and power."

"Then the prime minister thinks Wang Wang can stay or not?" Huai Jun laughed and said, "Wang Wang is benevolent and wise, and loves the people like a son. I know all of these, and the prime minister doesn't need to mention it. I just want to know whether the prime minister thinks Wang Wang should stay or not." ?”

Prime Minister Mo sighed, and replied: "I only hope that the Holy Majesty can spare the king's life."

This time, Huai Jun nodded in satisfaction, pinched the corner of the letter with his fingers, and said: "Prime Minister Mo, please rest well and take care of your body. If I encounter problems in state affairs in the future, I will have to ask the Prime Minister to come back to share my worries."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Mo stood up and was about to leave, but the words got stuck in his throat because of Huai Jun's sudden question.

"Prime Minister Mo, hold on for a moment, I have another question." Huai Jun let go of the letter, tapped his finger on the table twice, and asked calmly, "Who is Wang Wang's biological father?"

Prime Minister Ren Mo is a person who is used to storms and never panics, so he was shocked by this question at this time.

Huai Jun's question means that he knows that Nuo Xu was not born by the late emperor, but since he still doesn't know Nuo Xu's father, Prime Minister Mo thinks he shouldn't say it.

Huai Jun said again: "Even if the prime minister doesn't say anything, I still have a way to find out. Since the prime minister begged me to keep Wang Yiming alive, then I shouldn't hide anything from me. Should I keep an unknown person?" ?”

Prime Minister Mo hesitated for a while, and finally said three words: "Chen Yiyun."

"The son of the former Prime Minister Chen's family?"

Prime Minister Mo nodded, and he was relieved when he saw Huai Jun raised the corners of his lips, but there was no trace of displeasure.Huai Jun asked the eunuch to send Prime Minister Mo out, and Prime Minister Mo walked smoothly all the way, nothing unusual, until he was outside the palace, he supported the wall and gasped for breath.

As Huai Jun said, even if Prime Minister Mo didn't mention a word today, he could still find out about Chen Nuoxu's life experience, so Prime Minister Mo could only take the risk of telling Chen Yiyun, only hoping to reduce Huai Jun's vigilance.But if Huai Jun's vigilance has not decreased but increased, then it will be much easier for him to find out Nuo Xu's life experience.

As a result, Chen Yiyun's identity lowered Huai Jun's suspicion, but the more he thought about it, the more inappropriate it became. Once he became suspicious again, it would become even more serious.He immediately called Nan Qi and asked, "Have you found out what happened to Song Leyu?"

"The person who was executed in the prison disappeared that day, and I have sent people to track down his whereabouts."

"Okay. You go and investigate Chen Yiyun's matter again. Although this matter is difficult, you must do it yourself and don't let others know."

"Yes!" Nan Qi bowed his head in response and backed away.

"My lord, it's not good!" Suddenly a person rushed in, his footsteps hadn't stopped, and his breath hadn't slowed down, so he said: "Chen Pu fainted, he passed out!"

Hearing this, Huai Jun couldn't sit still any longer, he jumped up from his seat, and hurriedly left Cuiwei Palace, Ah Fu who rushed over followed him out of breath.

When they arrived at the Hall of Zhaohe, the imperial physician had just diagnosed Chen Pu. He told Ah Fu and the others to give Chen Pu something to eat, otherwise Chen Pu would not be able to survive for a few days in his condition.

Huai Jun ordered Ah Fu to go with the imperial physician to get the medicine and brought a bowl of hot soup, while he himself sat beside Chen Pu, didn't say a word, just looked at him with his eyes open.

Only when Chen Pu is still under his eyes can he feel at ease.

Therefore, even though he has not been able to sleep well for the past few days and is very tired, he is still reluctant to close his eyes, and the number of times he blinks is counted by ten fingers.

In the quiet dormitory, there was only the sound of Chen Pu's slight breathing, but it was not steady and calm, making the surrounding air freeze together gloomyly, making it very cramped, Huai Jun's thoughts were drained, but at the same time, A way to force Chen Pu to eat was drawn out.

If Chen Pu was forced in this way, with Chen Pu's temper, he would pick up the bowl and eat something no matter how reluctant he was, but Chen Pu hated him so much, he was afraid that once this method was used, Chen Pu would not forgive him even more.But now, as long as Chen Pu doesn't torture his body anymore, no matter what, he will admit it.

The decision was made, but he still touched Chen Pu's eyebrows and said helplessly, "Pu'er, what should I do with you?"

After Ah Fu brought the soup, he didn't stay any longer, and was kicked out by Huai Jun.

Huai Jun slightly parted Chen Pu's lips with one finger, held the bowl again, and fed him spoonful by spoonful.

Chen Pu who fainted was more honest than when he was sober. Although he subconsciously resisted the hot soup flowing into his mouth, at least half of a spoonful of soup slipped out along the corner of his lips, but he was hungry after all. For a few days, the emptiness in his stomach prompted him to drink half a bowl of soup.

"Pu'er is so good." Huai Jun put down the bottomless bowl and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Pu didn't know how he passed out. He only knew that the moment he regained consciousness, his stomach was no longer empty, like a person in a black hole who was on the verge of death and regained light.But when he opened his eyes, the moment he saw Huai Jun, he woke up in reality. He immediately covered his chest, but couldn't restrain the churning in his stomach, and leaned against the bedside to retch.

Seeing this, Huai Jun's complexion immediately turned ugly, but he still stroked Chen Pu's back, smoothed his breath, and hoped that he would feel better.

After a while, Chen Pu couldn't vomit anything, so he could only sit back on the bed with a pale face.

He was sure that Huaijun fed him something while he was unconscious. He didn't hate Huaijun's behavior, but he hated himself, as if once he ate something, he became a sinner.

The people around him suffered, but he lived such a good life.

This thought made him uncomfortable, and inspired his vicious words, when he was about to blame Huai Jun, Huai Jun spoke one step earlier than him: "Pu'er, I asked Afuna to come in for dinner, you can eat a little, okay? "

Chen Pu didn't even think about it, and didn't care about Huai Jun's almost begging tone. He shook his head, and with pale lips, he said cruelly: "I can't die this time, but I can do it next time." Only by hurting himself and Huai Jun can he feel better.

With a cold face, Huai Jun asked, "Threat me with your own life, Pu'er, you have many ways, don't do that."

"You use the fourth prince to threaten King Yi, and the fifth prince knows how to use Tianbao to threaten Leyu, Wang Wang will use me to threaten you..." Chen Pu suddenly smiled, and the smile was desolate, and asked: "Do I threaten Leyu with myself?" Isn't it the best way for you?"

"Don't use our feelings as weapons." Huai Jun shouted, "That's our feelings!"

"Yes, our relationship." Chen Pu stared at Huai Jun with those originally bright, but now gray and lifeless eyes, full of blame, lamentation, and sadness.

Emotion is the best weapon, as deep as it is, the blade is as sharp as it is, and now Chen Pu and Huai Jun are dripping with blood, both of them were hurt by it.

Being stared at by him, Huai Jun panicked and had no choice but to say in a cold voice, "Pu'er, you are kind-hearted. If you don't want His Highness Zhaohe to be punished because of you alone, you can eat obediently."

Chen Pu asked in disbelief: "You use them to persecute me?"

"Correct."

Chen Pu sneered, he seemed to be numb to Huai Jun's cruelty, so he stopped talking and said directly: "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Huai Jun immediately called Ah Fu to prevent Chen Pu from having a chance to repent, and ordered him to prepare meals.Ah Fu didn't dare to neglect, and within a moment, he was holding a wooden tray with a bowl of rice and two side dishes on it, both of which suited Chen Pu's taste.After he put the food away, he retreated.

"Pu'er, eat."

Chen Pu heard these words harshly, as if an order hit him on the head, but he just sneered, and then got off the bed, Huai Jun immediately came over to support him, and sat down with him to eat at the table.

As soon as he sat down, Chen Pu shook off Huai Jun's hand, then picked up the chopsticks, and wolfed down the rice.Huai Jun originally thought that Chen Pu was just dizzy from hunger, but the more he looked at it, the more inappropriate he became.

Chen Pugan ate the food without even chewing, and swallowed it as soon as he took it.As a result, a bowl of rice was quickly eaten by him, and he immediately picked up another dish and ate it again, and then swallowed it.

When he picked up the third dish, Huai Jun finally couldn't bear to shout: "Pu'er, that's enough!"

But Chen Pu didn't stop, so Huai Jun had to stretch out his hand, intending to snatch the plate of food, but Chen Pu jumped off the table with the plate in his hand. He didn't throw the plate on the ground until he ate all the food, and it broke into pieces. Half, laughing exaggeratedly.

He hadn't eaten for several days, and he had no appetite. It was impossible to eat all the food in such a hurry, so he laughed halfway, and the food crowded in his stomach rushed retrogradely to his throat.

The laughter stopped suddenly, he squatted on the ground, and spit out the things he had just eaten, the unpleasant smell immediately filled the bedroom, Huai Jun was so frightened that he took out a silk handkerchief, squatted beside Chen Pu, intending to help He wiped his mouth, but was pushed away by Chen Pu.

Chen Pu clutched his chest and said, "I've had a good meal."

"You know I don't want you to eat like this."

Chen Pu laughed a few more times, Huai Jun hugged him distressedly, firmly, not letting him break free, and not thinking his body was dirty, just said softly: "Pu'er, I don't want them to threaten you. Now, eat well, and when you regain your energy, you can do whatever you want, just don't torture yourself like this."

"When I regain my energy, it will be even more difficult for you." Chen Pu said angrily.

"Okay." Huai Jun responded, and then added in his heart-as long as you stay by my side.

Chen Pu, who was stuffed in his arms, had no time to refute, so he vomited again, but Huai Jun didn't push him away at all, and let him vomit in his arms.When Chen Pu couldn't vomit, Huai Jun let him go slowly, and then called Ah Fu in. When Ah Fu saw the chaos in the dormitory, he almost fainted from fright, but the disgusting smell in the room came again. He couldn't get dizzy, so he could only order someone to prepare toilet supplies and bring over two sets of clean clothes.

Huai Jun glanced at Chen Pu tenderly, Chen Pu only met his affectionate eyes, and then quickly looked away.At this time, they just want to do anything to make themselves feel better, but they can't tell whether they have felt better, it seems that they have, or they don't.

☆, Fanwai Si resigned and returned to his hometown

?The official document of Prime Minister Mo's resignation was approved, and within three days, he packed up and returned home.The day when I left Beijing was a beautiful day with a beautiful breeze and clear blue sky. A few people came to the Mo residence early in the morning. Naturally, Mo Huichuan, Nuo Xu and Fan Shaoqian wanted to see Prime Minister Mo off. Unexpectedly, it was Yong Ting Prime Minister Li is also here.

The fact is that Prime Minister Li Nian has been in the same court as Cheng Mo for more than 20 years. Although his political views sometimes differ, he also cherishes heroes and respects heroes. Unable to let go of his old face, he had to force Yong Ting to come with him.

As soon as Prime Minister Mo saw Prime Minister Li, he asked the juniors to back off. Although what they said was not shameful, it was also to avoid people thinking too much.

"Prime Minister Li, thank you for coming to see off Mo." Prime Minister Mo said politely.

"Why are you so polite!" Li Chengxiang smiled dryly, and said awkwardly, "Shouldn't you send me a colleague?"

"You and I are the only ones left in this court who have stayed the longest, and our colleagues have been here for twenty or twenty years?"

"27."

"Yes, Yiwang is 27 this year, so we have known each other for 27 years." Prime Minister Mo laughed, and laughed at himself: "Look at my head, it's useless when I'm old."

"Even if you are old, you are much smarter than the people in the court." Prime Minister Li sighed, and asked puzzledly: "Mowei Amovi, I didn't expect you to go ahead of me in the end, do you remember the time when What did you say yourself?"

Prime Minister Mo nodded. When he was young, his personality was a bit flamboyant. At that time, he didn't like Prime Minister Li. In his eyes, only Fan Wenhou could compare with him in the world. Unfortunately, Fan Wenhou had no intention of being an official, and Prime Minister Li A fool who didn't even pass the imperial examination entered the imperial court.

Everyone at that time knew that Prime Minister Li was relying on the shadow of the two noble concubines Hua and Rong, the so-called one person attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, not to mention that his two younger sisters both received divine favor.At that time, the left and right prime ministers passed away one after another, so the talented prime minister Mo and the prime minister Li who had two concubines and younger sisters were promoted.

Some things everyone knows, and some things don't.The reason why the two imperial concubines Hua and Rong are so favored is because of their eyes that resemble Chen Yiyun.Prime Minister Mo knew the truth, so he disliked Prime Minister Li even more.

Once he and Fan Wenhou met Prime Minister Li on the street, and he said sarcastically: "Wen Hou, if we add a younger sister to Shaoqian in the future, it will be better than studying for ten years."

As his name suggests, Fan Wenhou has a good temper, he just smiled and said nothing, but the others had already started whispering, making Prime Minister Li's face turn red and turn pale with embarrassment.

With his thoughts back, Prime Minister Mo said sincerely: "At that time, there was nothing more to do, please forgive me, Prime Minister Li."

"Without your words, I would not work hard in the future." Prime Minister Li said generously.

"Then I hope that Mo's next sentence will still be useful to Prime Minister Li."

"Please say."

"It's better to leave than to stay, Prime Minister Li, I hope Mo Mou just left a few days earlier than you."

Prime Minister Li nodded. He was no longer a poor scholar who had just arrived in the capital that day. He understood Prime Minister Mo's words as soon as he heard them, but at this moment he was still unsure, so he just said: "Thank you."

"It's getting late, and it's time for Mo Mou to leave, so I invite Prime Minister Li and King Yi to stay."

After Prime Minister Mo said goodbye to Prime Minister Li and Yong Ting, he walked to the city gate accompanied by Mo Huichuan and others.

At that time, Mo Huichuan was carrying the burden for Prime Minister Mo, pulling the horse, and the veins in both hands were bulging. He felt that this was the only thing he had done for Prime Minister Mo for so many years, but soon he would put his shoulders on his shoulders. The burden on the bag and the reins in his hand were passed to Prime Minister Mo, and I don't know when I will see you again.And although he didn't say it clearly, Nuo Xu and Fan Shaoqian, who knew him well, knew that he was extremely reluctant.

When he reached the city gate, Prime Minister Mo stopped in his tracks, staring at Mo Huichuan, waiting for him to hand him the things in his hand.After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Nuo Xu and Fan Shaoqian turned their faces away, and took a few steps back, leaving a place for the father and son to talk.

Mo Huichuan didn't say a word, so Prime Minister Mo could only sigh: "Chuan'er, back then, father sent you to the palace regardless of your mother's objection. If you chose to stay, father will not blame you."

"Father, the child is not filial." Mo Huichuan said guiltily.

"It was father who sent you to Wang Wang's side. You are not unfilial. On the contrary, father is sorry for your mother." At this point, Prime Minister Mo couldn't help his eyes getting wet, and said: "You were only four years old when you entered the palace. , you cried and wanted father and mother to hug you, but father carried you into the palace..."

Before he finished speaking, Mo Huichuan hugged him, and said tearfully, "Father, the road is rough and long, so take care of yourself, and in the next life, my son will be a filial piety for you and mother."

With this sentence, everything else becomes superfluous.Prime Minister Mo patted Mo Huichuan on the back, then opened the distance between the two of them, and then called out "Wang Wang", took him aside, and said, "You once asked me why Wen Hou and I were married?" Sending Huichuan and Shaoqian to your side, do you still want to know?"

"Please tell Uncle Mo." Nuo Xu said respectfully.

"Wen Hou and I have failed your father. This is the only thing we can do for him." Prime Minister Mo paused, looked up at the blue sky and said, "But it was your father who failed the first emperor back then. Don't blame him for keeping your father a secret from the late emperor's kindness to you in nurturing you."

If the young Nuo Xu heard these words, he would have to get to the bottom of it, but he has experienced a lot, so he understands that not everyone wants to bring up the past.Prime Minister Mo sent his son to him, just like he once sent Chen Pu to Huai Jun as his companion because he felt that he had lost to Huai Jun.

He also hated the first emperor, but now he doesn't hate it anymore, and he doesn't want to know what his father did. He will always remember that the first emperor told him that his father is a good man, and this sentence is enough.

He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Uncle Mo."

Prime Minister Mo walked up to Fan Shaoqian, his eyes were full of regret and concern.Fan Shaoqian's parents died early, and his younger brother's whereabouts are unknown. Prime Minister Ren Mo tried his best to find him, and even that incident happened back then.Prime Minister Mo took pity on him, he had a big quarrel with the late emperor, but in the end he had to feel sorry for the late emperor, so he could only open his eyes and watch Fan Shaoqian leave heartbroken and live outside.

He didn't want to bring up Fan Shaoqian's sad incident again, so far, he could only say to him: "Shaoqian, your father's spirit in heaven will definitely comfort you."

"Shaoqian knows." Fan Shaoqian's face was still slightly pale, but he was much more energetic than the previous few days, he said: "Please be careful, Uncle Mo."

"Okay!" Prime Minister Mo glanced at the three of them, "You guys will send them here, there is no need to send them any more."

When Mo Huichuan was about to say something, Prime Minister Mo had already stepped on the stirrup, sat on the horse's back, waved his whip, and walked away, leaving dust on his face. When they came back to their senses , Prime Minister Mo is already thousands of miles away.

Nuo Xu and Fan Shaoqian glanced at each other, and when they were about to comfort Mo Huichuan, Mo Huichuan had already turned his head back.

Prime Minister Mo rode his horse and walked westward until he reached a vast grassy field.The grass is green there, the breeze is blowing gently, and wild yellow flowers grow everywhere, full of vitality.Going forward, the scenery has not changed, but there are two more tombstones side by side.

One belonged to Chen Yiyun, and the other belonged to his wife.

Chen Yiyun's death was a knot in the late emperor's heart. Prime Minister Mo always remembered how Chen Yiyun died in prison after the Chen case, how the late emperor supported himself until he found out the person who committed the execution without permission, until he paid him back Chen Yiyun was innocent until Chen Yiyun's funeral arrangements were made.

This is a treasure land of geomantic omen, which was originally owned by a wealthy businessman, but Emperor Xian insisted on choosing this place because it was quiet and close to the capital, and finally Emperor Xian privately ordered Prime Minister Mo to buy this land back.In less than a day, Prime Minister Mo bought the land back, and the method he used was a bit disgraceful, but for this old friend and for the sake of the late emperor, Prime Minister Mo couldn't care less.

After buying the land back, Emperor Xian fell into a struggle. He didn't know whether to bury Chen Yiyun and his wife together.He struggled for a day, and then called both Fan Wenhou and Prime Minister Mo into the palace.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Wen Hou, Awei, Yi Yun loves Xiang Qing, right?"

Fan Wenhou and Prime Minister Mo couldn't answer, they kept listening to what the late emperor said, but finally the late emperor decided to bury them together, just like when Chen Yiyun got married, the late emperor only asked Chen Yiyun: "You love Xiangqing, don't you? "Chen Yiyun said "yes", and the late emperor blessed them, but afterwards he dragged Fan Wenhou and Prime Minister Mo to drink all night.

Prime Minister Mo bowed each, then stood in front of Chen Yiyun's tombstone, and said, "Yiyun, Ah Huan also went, and he still called your name when he went." He paused, and cursed softly: " You are confused about matters and emotions, if you meet Ah Huan in the next life, if you don’t like him, then don’t get to know him again, lest you all suffer.”

He stood there for a while, then continued walking. Not far away, there were two more tombstones, those of Fan Wenhou and his wife.After Fan Wenhou's accident, the first emperor and he both decided to bury them in the same place.

When he heard about Fan Wenhou's accident back then, Prime Minister Mo was extremely depressed. At that time, he thought about resigning from office and returning to his hometown. Finally, when he took the resignation to Cuiwei Palace and looked at the late Emperor as if he was a few years older, he After all, he couldn't hand in his resignation. He knew that as long as he left, the late emperor would not be able to support him.

That day he and the late emperor just sat facing each other in silence for an afternoon.

When Prime Minister Mo came to Fan Wenhou's tomb, he suddenly remembered the day when they first met, it was far away but very clear.

Prime Minister Mo was originally a young man from a remote village, but he had a great reputation as a well-known young genius in the local area, so he was recommended by the magistrate to go to a private school in the capital to prepare for the imperial examination before he arrived at the crown ceremony.

But most of the students in that school were disciples of famous families in the capital, and Prime Minister Mo was a poor boy, so it was impossible not to be excluded.But even if he was excluded, he could survive. What he couldn't survive was that the money he brought ran out, and he had no money to pay the rent of the inn.

At that time, he was chased away by the owner of the inn, and there were a few students from the school drinking tea in the inn, but they just wanted to see his jokes, but when his things were thrown out, there was a person outside to clean up for him Come back and pay the rent for him.

When he was about to say something, the man spoke first: "Is that Mo Wei?"

Prime Minister Mo nodded.

"I'm Fan Wenhou, you can pay me back this little money someday." Fan Wenhou smiled and said, "With your intelligence, what's missing is not the money, but an imperial examination."

Mo Cheng was not a prime minister at the time, but Fan Wenhou's reputation was very good, he did not expect that it was this talented man who was well-known in the capital who helped him a poor boy, and it was this encounter that made them close friends.

Once he started a head, the past burst out, and the more he thought about it, the more powerless he became, and finally sat in front of Fan Wenhou's tombstone, pressing his sore left chest, and weeping silently.

That year, he and Fan Wenhou were caught in an ambush. Although they escaped, they each got an arrow. He was hit in the left chest, and Fan Wenhou was hit in the right leg. The reaction was to look up and laugh because they succeeded.

When it was dusk, Prime Minister Mo got up from the ground, lowered his head and said, "Wen Hou, I'm leaving." After that, he pulled the horse and left thinking of the sunset.

He was alone when he came. For so many years, he had thought that he was finally not alone, but he did not expect that after more than 30 years, he would be alone when he returned.

There is no one waiting for him in his hometown, and I don't know if there is one in the distance.
