Imperial capital, Taifu mansion.
Shen Xuan put down his urgent letter and looked out of the window.
At the end of summer, the imperial capital is still lush. Through the glass on the window lattice, you can see a row of high and low maple trees under the courtyard wall opposite the atrium. The green leaves without severe frost do not stand out in the luxuriant palace.
But it was planted according to the number of male heirs of the Shen family.
The tallest one is now as beautiful as a pavilion.
Shen Xuan's eyes lingered on the canopy like a canopy for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when his eldest son was young, he held him in his arms, stood under the maple tree, which was still a small sapling, and told him about that tree and the past of the same year
At that time, Shen Cangli reached his knee height, opened his black and white eyes, was held in his arms, and reached out to touch the leaves curiously. At that time, the tree was just like a bush In the next 30 years, it seems that you can just snap your fingers.
I don't know how long it took for Shen Xuan to feel a sense of desperation, so he called in the young man and asked, "Zang Li is still out there?"
"If you return to the Lord, you are still waiting." The little boy said carefully.
"Go and call him in."
A moment later, Shen Zang Li, a gaunt looking man in Huafu and Zhuang Rong, came into the door to salute. He called low, "father!"
"There's no need for formality. Sit down." Shen Xuan looks at his eldest son, who is still upright and impeccable in manner, manners and manners, though suffering from a lot of pain. He is in a complex mood.
"Thank you father." Shen Zang and Li Yiyan sat down at the bottom of his head. After a moment's silence, he mentioned his purpose of asking for advice. "The third younger brother wrote a letter, saying that Mo ye..."
Shen Xuan said lightly: "I already know this. This child is very good. It's the blood of our Shen family. Although he suffered a lot in mushur's hands, he also seized the opportunity of the split between aytahu and ugumon, killed the two sons of ugumon, took his head to aytahu, paid attention to it, and reversed the situation that he had been discriminated against because his father was unknown. After seeing that ayta Hulian was defeated, he immediately volunteered to go to diecuiguan to contact Tibetan Feng in person, and threatened us with their mother and son's experience to help him Tomorrow is too much to be spoiled by you. Even at his present age, it's hard for him to have such a plan! This reminds me that when guanger and Yier grow up, they can no longer be spoiled! Men should be honed more! "
Shen Cangli listened in silence and said in a long, astringent voice, "father, I can't help you..."
"Li'er......" Shen Xuan listened to him, but his eyes were fixed, and he sighed, "you know, why my father took you back to Beijing and immediately gave up the idea of letting you take over mingpeitang. Instead, he cultivated your third brother?"
"A child is ill, and his parents and uncles can barely get up for years. How can he bear the responsibility of a family?" Shen Zang Li didn't have any resentment about this matter. He smiled and said, "fortunately, there are three younger brothers who can share the worries for father, mother and uncle. It's a reasonable thing for a child to take for granted what his father did. "
Shen Xuan shook his head and said, "do you have to be strong? You see the Wei family, Song family and Duanmu family. Which of the three Lords is not an old and sick disease? Duke Wei is old, and so is Duke song. Duke song has foot disease. He has been walking in and out for more than ten years! Duanmu wakes up for three days and two days. Which of the three lords can't be strangled by a little servant at home? But which one of them is fatuous and useless? You are stronger than they are, even if you have not been cured! "
He looked at his eldest son deeply. "You are injured in the array. It's not because your father gave up cultivating you to be the next Lord of the Shen family. It should have been your qualifications and glory Why do you lose so many injuries? It's your father and your uncle who let you down! "
Shen Zang Li's face changed - Shen Xuan said coldly: "you were brave and brave in those years in Xiliang. Your subordinates were inspired by you and loyal to you! So I helped you hide it together! So you think I really believe that the reason why your injury is so serious that you can't cure it even in the season is because you chased after the spy of Di people alone, so that you fell into the ice at night, soaked in the ice in the snow for most of the night
Shen Xuan's eyes were cold and sighed, "although it's said that Shen family and Di people have been fighting for a hundred years, the war is endless, and the hatred on both sides is like a mountain! But you're a man, not a daughter to marry. You really like the Princess Di. It's not impossible to be a little girl! How much can a concubine do to the overall situation? If only for this one, I really can't blame you - how old were you when you went to Xiliang? Fifteen years old, young man, who hasn't young moxa? I'm not Wei Gong. Your uncle and I are still in our prime. We can't stand your mistakes! In fact, I also hope that you can make more mistakes now. While we are still here, I will give you some details or instructions, so that we won't be there, and you will not have an idea when you meet something uncertain, and no one will really give you an idea You secretly hid the princess of Nadi. I was a little worried about the secret music with her, but it won't shake your position in charge of mingpeitang! "
"But you shouldn't be bewitched by the Princess Di. You are so confused that you want to abandon your own eldest son and run away with her in vain!"Shen Xuan's voice was very light, but filled with endless anger. "Are you my eldest son or my wife! At that time, I took over the position of the Lord from your grandfather for a long time, and the people were covetous! You won't know how much thought I spent with your mother and how scared I was to keep you! Since your landing, your mother and your uncle, including your aunt who died early, have devoted all their efforts to you. Before you eloped with the princess Nadi, we always hoped that you could hone your talents in Xiliang, intimidate the clansmen, and let mingpeitang develop in your hands. But you, for the sake of an alien woman, ignored the family reputation Go eloping for the sake of flesh and blood! "
"- when you do this, have you ever thought about what kind of consequences the person who gave birth to you will bear for you and how deeply you will hurt him?"
"How do you deserve to be a son of man?"
The city is like Shen Xuan, and the status is like Shen Xuan. When it comes to the fact that the eldest son, who had been entrusted with all the expectations with meticulous education, is addicted to women and regardless of the family's actions, he still feels the pain of his heart. He can't bear it anymore. He raises his sleeve to cover his face and starts to cry loudly!
In the old father's wailing sound, Shen Zang Li's face was pale. He raised his robe and fell to the ground. Without saying anything, he banged his head and spattered his forehead with blood: "there is no excuse for a child's sin!"
“…… Although the news came back that time, your mother was so angry that she vomited blood for several days. " Shen Xuan's long sleeves covered his face, only to hear his voice choking. "But you are the most dedicated child we devoted to at that time. Besides this, your performance in Xiliang has always been good. So your uncle suggested giving you another chance But what did you do? "
Shen Zang opened his mouth sharply. For a long time, he said dispirited, "I know my sin, but Mo Ye is really the blood of his own blood. Knowing that he was born, I really can't even return a letter... "
"Muddleheaded!" After all, Shen Xuan was the Lord of the valve for a long time. Although he was sad and lost his temper for a while, he soon calmed down again, wiped his face carelessly, put down his sleeve, and drank heavily, "are you wrong here?! Did you not name the courtyard of the big house after your marriage with the Han name you gave the Princess Di and tell your new wife about it? "
Shen Zang and Li chuckled, "I know what I'm guilty of."
"You know sin, but you don't know where it is!" said Shen Xuan
Shen Zang Li doesn't speak, seems to have acquiesced, and seems to have no intention of refuting or explaining.
"You were so in love with the princess didi that you ran away with her regardless of the family. They still left blood But when you get back to the capital, you will never have the chance to go to Xiliang again. If you marry Liu again, you should put down the previous section and live with Liu! " Shen Xuan looked at his eldest son like an eagle, and said in a deep voice, "as a result, you married Liu Shi, but when you were newly married, you couldn't help telling her about it. Unexpectedly, she dreamed that she would agree that you would name the courtyard you lived in as the Xinyi courtyard In the name of the princess of the didi! Let Liu's new bride get a stick. In a rage, there are not half of the flowers in the courtyard! Do you think your mother didn't tell me about it? "
"You've been nice to Liu's family and haven't taken a concubine. It can be seen that even if you still miss the di princess named Xinyi, you always have feelings for Liu's family." Shen Xuan took a slow breath and said.
Shen Zang said in a low voice, "if you are virtuous, I feel guilty to her a lot."
Shen Xuan listened to him, but his disappointment was deeper: "you were so happy with Xinyi, but you didn't want to stay with her in your long chamber in the name of a concubine, and ran away with her, but it hurt you to fall into the ice at night. If I had not arranged" spine fence "to keep an eye on you, I would have sent the white hair to the black hair! Even if you get away with it, the return of the Xinyi people will be miserable ever since! After that, your mother and I forced you to marry Liu, but your impression of Liu is not bad But tell her the story of Xinyi! After so many years, I heard from your mother that Liu didn't talk about it. He was very upset about the event of Xinyi, but you still refused to change the name of Xinyi hall! Li'er, your intention is to be good to Xinyi and Liushi. But look at what you do. Who are you good to? You said, how can we rest assured that you are in charge of the Shen family, since you have dealt with such two women in such a mess and are so determined, indecisive, and subject to the love of children and girls? "
“…… I know that I'm not as talented as the third brother. I've never been envious that the third brother will be in charge of the Shen family. " Shen Zang Li said with a confused face, "father, the child has always been very happy. The child can have a younger brother who can replace the useless eldest son."
Shen Xuan's eyes are heavy: "I don't mean you are jealous of Cangfeng!" He closed his eyes and opened them again. "I hope you come to me this time and think about what you want to say."
Shen Zang was silent. After a while, he said hoarsely: "don't think about it, father. Aytahu is not a threat to Xiliang now. I I owe it to the desert, so... "
"You owe the Shen family, too." Shen Xuan overlapped his eyes and murmured, "Li'er, don't forget that you owe Shen family more than Mo Ye! Shen Jiasheng, you raise you, cultivate you for decades, you Do you repay the Shen family like this? "
"If Xiliang rises again, I'd like to go to work. Though I die in battle, I'll...""So Shen Jiasheng raised you and cultivated you for decades. At last, he raised orphans and widows for you?" Shen Xuan opened his eyes, and the color of disappointment flashed by, which was the complexity of unknown meaning. "In a word, you are guilty of this guilty one, but you still don't understand it? Have you ever thought that the Di people princess named Xinyi and the desert now are all aimed at your trap? "
Shen Zang is shocked!
