Humane Yongchang

Autumn said that he would go back to his hometown to have a look.

But it was not until the spring of the following year that the old couple finally walked out of Jinling City.

It was a bright spring morning. The old couple walked out of Jinling City slowly in a large carriage pulled by a big hair turned into a strong horse. The accompanying guards did not exceed 20 people.

They walked back home stopping and stopping along the road they had moved their capital from Chen County to Jinling.

When I came here, the uninhabited wasteland on both sides of the road has turned into a neat square of terraced fields, and there are farmers planting rice seedlings in the terraced fields with their trouser legs pulled up everywhere. In the spring, there are festive and high-spirited folk songs.

Chen Sheng changed into coarse sackcloth, and walked around chatting with people with a shy face, insinuating what these peasants thought of the various policies of the Nationalist government, and whether the policies that benefited farmers had fallen on them.

The common people along the road looked at Chen Sheng, who was dressed like a poor man and was still disabled, and they only thought that he was the groom of the horses in this team, the way of driving the carts, and he spoke nicely. , are also happy to answer with him.

They sat together in the ridge of the field, eating steamed cakes on the neat rice shoots in the paddy field, and spitting and criticizing how unreasonable the policy of the Nationalist Government was.

They sat together under the shade of a tree, drinking large bowls of big-leaf tea made of coarse porcelain, and filled with righteous indignation, scolding such-and-such officials and gentlemen who do not make decisions for the people when they are officials.

Whenever the peasants knew that the thin old man with half of his empty sleeves drooping in front of him was a veteran of the Red Army, they would drag him home without any explanation, enthusiastically kill chickens and ducks, invite him to make tooth sacrifices, and ask him about His Majesty's current situation.

Chen Sheng always gnawed on the chicken and duck happily and replied: "I'm just a big soldier, how can I know the current situation of His Majesty the Emperor?" '

Then there will always be a burst of disappointed sighs and muttered words.

Although it is a little superficial and some have shallow eye sockets, every time Chen Sheng hears these farmers who have never left the land where they were born, they speak a rural slang and care about his health, whether he eats well, and whether he is tired from work. When he is not tired, his heart is really warm, as if someone put a small stove in his arms in the cold winter.

Every time he carried the local specialties forced upon him by the farmers, walked back to the carriage with a bony chest and unrecognizable strides, and handed the local specialties in his hand to A Yu, his expression was as proud as if What he handed over was not three or five hard-boiled eggs, six or seven pieces of steamed cakes, or a small knife of bacon, but some great treasure!

Ah Yu even found that the smile on his face was much more comfortable after this trip...

They headed towards Chen County all the way, and there were various government orders flying back to Jinling from this carriage.

Later, when the guards of the royal court took Chen Sheng's return gifts and sent them back one by one to those who had warmly entertained Chen Sheng, they finally learned that the old man they entertained was His Majesty the Emperor.

……

After 25 years.

In the courtyard of the Chen Family in Chen County, there was another curl of cooking smoke...

Chen Sheng sat on the steps in front of the hall, scanning the courtyard inch by inch, which had appeared in his dreams countless times.

The courtyard that has been uninhabited for more than 20 years, even if the local officials take great care to maintain it, many things will inevitably decay. The local officials may be afraid that he will be sad when he comes back, so they replace it with exactly the same materials on their own initiative. Those rotten furnishings, thought he would not recognize it.

But how can anyone not recognize their own home?
The pear tree in the yard has been replaced, and the branches are facing the wrong direction.

The bricks and tiles on the courtyard wall are also not right. They were not so neat and new before.

The doors and windows of the hall are also wrong, the sword marks he left back then are gone...

But even so, Zhao Qing was still everywhere in this courtyard.

There was her cooking in the kitchen.

On the other side of the hall, there was a figure of her crossing her waist and rushing out angrily.

In front of the gate, there was her figure standing under the lantern waiting for him to come home...

It seemed that she had been there waiting for them to come home, never leaving.

In the kitchen, Ah Yu, who was cooking, was distracted while chopping vegetables, and was in a daze while frying vegetables. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had already burst into tears.

Some people are still alive, but he is already dead.

And some died long ago, but she lived forever.

……

After leaving Chen County, Chen Sheng did not return to Jinling as promised.

Instead, he left the car and took Ah Yu on a trip in Dahan territory where he wanted to go.

They went to Mount Emei to watch the sunrise, and taught the monkeys there a lesson.

They went to see elephants on the banks of the Mekong River and tasted pineapples and bananas there.

They went to the golden beach of the South China Sea to sunbathe and eat [-] lychees every day.

They also went to Guazhou, Xueyu, Lake Baikal...

There are big hairs for legs.

In the early morning, I was still watching the sunrise on the top of Mount Tai.

At noon, a bowl of saozi noodles was picked up on the streets of Qishan.

People take to the streets to dance dragon lanterns to celebrate the Spring Festival.

They cook tea in the stove on the top of Mount Everest...

This time, Chen Sheng finally became selfish for a while, completely abandoned state affairs, and became a knight-errant who walks the world with his sword!
When encountering a bully bullying the market, bullying men and women, he would cut off his head with a single sword without batting an eyelid.

Hearing that corrupt officials disregarded human life and bullied others, he rushed directly into the yamen, arrested him and beat him to death in the street.

When it comes to chatting at a tea party criticizing current politics, he mixes in the crowd and swears louder than anyone else.

There are poor people who are suffering from hunger and cold. He is busy looking for doctors, housing, and jobs for others...

He dares to take care of things that others dare not take care of.

What others dare not say, he dares to say.

Toast.

chunks of meat.

Have fun with wine,

Even without wine, he is also insane!
When the national government really couldn't bear the pressure of public opinion, and under the instruction of Han Fei, it exposed the "truth" that this pair of famous "Condor Heroes" were His Majesty the Emperor and Mrs. Yu. It's all boiling!

All the corrupt officials, bandits and tyrants are all in constant fear, always feeling that the next second, the mighty figure of His Majesty the Emperor will break through the wall and rush in, punching themselves to death, they all want to be on the spot Dig a hole and bury yourself!

Even the incompetent officials who were lazy and mediocre in the past were like fierce horses with a stab in their buttocks. Qi Qi began to work overtime to deal with the backlog of government affairs and make up for the mistakes made in the past, lest there would be something wrong His Majesty's ears reached the ears of His Majesty the Emperor... Although the probability of this is not high, he exists after all, and it is completely random!

Who can guarantee that His Majesty's Tai'a sword will not fall on top of his head?
All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the big man has never been better, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he does not close the door at night and does not pick up lost things on the road!
And Han Fei's drastic action greatly interfered with Chen Sheng and A Yu's travel experience, but still failed to dispel the old couple's interest in continuing to travel.

Chen Sheng still took Ah Yu to run around the big man, but he seldom entered the city again, so as not to be disturbed by the overly enthusiastic people.

But never mind...

The two of them went to the grassland to find their uncle Chen Ao. Beef in the Central Plains is precious. enough!
Although Chen Ao was limited by his talents and stopped at the level of a great master, but he was nourished by the throne of King Liang, even if his life span could not reach the level of Zhuang Zhou and Gui Guzi, he would only live to be 50 or [-] years old without disease or disaster. Wait!

Calculated according to the age limit of 50, Chen Ao is still in his prime!
If he is not happy, Chen Sheng will lead Ah Yu to find Xiang Yu in the Middle East, and beat him up in the name of sparring!
Xiang Yu has opened up wasteland in the Middle East for many years, and now it has achieved great results. He has only [-] tigers and soldiers under his command, but he controls a land that is even wider than the Maurya Dynasty. Now he is carrying out colonial policies in the Middle East, providing raw materials for the development of the Han Dynasty, and waiting for the conditions to mature After that, they will bring the army and land back under the command of the big man!
However, as the only martial sage of the big man, this guy is strong and arrogant, and he is usually disobedient to everyone, so he can overwhelm him with his military skills in vain.

But facing Chen Sheng, he really didn't have any temper. Chen Sheng went to him four times, and he pressed him on the ground and rubbed him firmly four times.

When Chen Sheng went back for the fifth time, when he came to see Chen Sheng, he didn't even dare to wear his wristbands. When he met him, he called "Senior Brother" one by one, and his small expression of eagerness seemed to say: "I call you even Bro, are you embarrassed to beat me up again? '

The old couple have been traveling outside for more than two full years after having fun.

It wasn't until the 15th year of the Han calendar that the old couple finally returned to Jinling... It wasn't that Chen Shenglang had had enough, but that Li Xin was dying. He hung his last breath and wanted to see him for the last time.

……

Perhaps, it's like an old tree will always drop dead leaves and branches one after another before it sprouts new buds.

Or maybe, it is the power of the great Han's national destiny that has nourished these important ministers who should have died long ago, and it has finally come to an end...

The death of Li Xin seems to have finally opened the prelude to the withering of the great Han officials.

It was Li Xin first, and then Meng Tian... These two generals of the Han Zhu Kingdom had consumed too much essence in the past battles, and coupled with the fact that martial arts had stopped at the master level, even with the nourishment of the fate of the Han Dynasty, they could not make these two People survive the threshold of 90 years old.

Followed by Chen Dao and Ji Bu, these two veterans who used to form teams with Li Xin and Meng Tian.

Chen Dao's body was not very neat many years ago. Chen Sheng had advised him to take off his armor a long time ago, but he was reluctant to part with the Baihu Military Region and those generals he had led for half his life. After staying in the wind and sand in Guazhou, he finally took off his armor and returned to Jinling to spend his old age peacefully, with Chen Shou as his companion.

He never thought that his body, which had survived the wind, sand, rain and snow for 20 years in Guazhou without breaking down, would be gone after only two years of suffering after returning to Jinling, a colorful world.

As for Ji Bu, according to Chen Sheng's understanding of him, that guy should be mentally affected by the successive deaths of Li Xin, Meng Tian, ​​and Chen Dao. He always felt that it was his turn and couldn't hold on anymore.

That guy has always been an uninitiated person. When he stepped out of his position as the captain of the personal guard and became the commander of the army, he still looked more like his captain of the personal guard than the leader of an army.

After Ji Bu, Chen Ping and Zhou Zhang...

Almost every few months, someone would rush into the palace and tell Chen Sheng that whoever was going to die soon, and now he was holding his breath, waiting to see him for the last time.

Chen Sheng can understand them.

They have been loyal to him for the rest of their lives, and at the end of the day, they hope that there will be a beginning and an end, so that he can take care of their descendants by the way... Isn't this too much?

This is certainly not too much!

Therefore, even after sending away an old subordinate or old friend, Chen Sheng's mood would be gloomy for ten days and a half months.

But every time someone enters the palace to report, he will still go there with a smile, to accompany old subordinates and old friends who are insane or insane, or crazy, count the past together, recall the past together, and calm down their emotions at the last moment , to meet their last-minute requests, so that they can all leave this world with a smile...

Some people say that everyone's past life only exists in the memory of others, and every person who knows your past leaves a huge fragment in your past life. After you are gone, your past life will no longer exist...

With the departure of old subordinates and old friends.

Chen Sheng felt more and more lonely, time seemed to turn into a lake so dark that his hands could not be stretched out, slowly overflowing his old body, devouring his exhausted soul...

He gradually stopped dealing with administrative affairs and government affairs, and he didn't even go to Yanqing Hall. He only attended some decision-making meetings related to the direction of the country's development, but most of them were observers.

Gradually, he couldn't understand Dahan's scientific development direction. After trying to recall for a long time, he found the adjective "cyberpunk" from his fragmented memory, which he himself had forgotten the meaning of.

He started to wake up every day, and subconsciously touched A Yu beside him first.

He began to take Ah Yu to Chang'an District to have dinner with his old father every night.

In the first three or two days, he greeted the children of their own families, saying that it had been a long time since they had dinner together.

Han Fei and Fan Zeng often came to see him in the palace.

Fan Zeng is getting older day by day, and the lifespans that have been calculated and deduced from human affairs in the past have begun to affect him, and it seems that he will not live for a few years, so that his eyes are full of tears when he looks at Chen Sheng now. Worrying is like fearing that Chen Sheng will get ahead of me, and that I can't be like Li Xin, Meng Tian and the others, with a good start and a good end.

Han Fei, on the other hand, often talked to him about the progress and results of the promotion of the natural human rights of the great man, the details of the new provisions of the law, and specific events in some places where the people sued the officials, and the people marched and demonstrated for legitimate interests.

Every time he talked about these things, Chen Sheng would listen with special concentration.

Only when Han Fei talked about this, his thoughtful and calm gaze no longer looked like an old man who was dying.

In the 19th year of the Han Dynasty, Chen Shou fell ill and couldn't afford it...
