Chapter 118: Foresight
Princess Yicheng's confused eyes slowly became clear. She glanced at Pushe, and then looked at Liu Jie. There was a look of astonishment on her face. She had been away from home for more than 20 years, not to mention her relatives, even the Han people.
It was rare to see Liu Jie. Princess Yicheng probably never expected to see Liu Jie at this time and place.
His throat was surging, his mouth was slightly open, and a weak and low voice came out: "Liu Xiangguo, is it really you?"
Liu Jie nodded, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, this is an old minister, and the old minister is here to see you."
Princess Yicheng had a smile on her face and said softly: "I thought I was dreaming, but I didn't expect it was really Liu Xiangguo. When I am about to die, I can see someone familiar again. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."
"
Princess Yicheng said this, and Liu Jie felt even more guilty: "Your Highness, I know you hate me. If I hadn't urged the late emperor back then, you wouldn't have married here, and you wouldn't have become what you are today.
.”
"You don't have to feel guilty. Khan is very kind to me. I don't regret marrying him."
Princess Yicheng raised her hand and caressed Pushe's face, looked at Liu Jie, and said softly: "If you want to blame me, blame me for being a daughter. I can't help my father to solve his problems. I married into Monan by myself. The Momeng Hu tribe and the Jin Dynasty
There are few wars, and this may be due to my contribution, or it may have nothing to do with me, but no matter what, I tried my best, and when I get to hell one day and see my father, I can finally have a clear conscience."
Princess Yicheng's voice was very weak, but when Li Xun heard it, it was like thunder, and his whole body was shocked. He looked at her, and his heart was already full of respect. This weak woman who was paralyzed in bed and whose death was not expected, had such a big heart.
How many people in the world can compare with patriotism?
Liu Jie was also deeply shocked, and he bowed and said: "Her Royal Highness, the patriotism of the Princess, cannot be matched by that of my veteran ministers."
Princess Yicheng was silent, her skinny hands touched Pushe's face, and she said softly: "Khan, I'm afraid I can't survive. You should marry the daughter of the leader of the Kuishan tribe, Mu'an, as your new kodun. In this way, Monan
Only then can the situation be stabilized again.”
Pushe held Princess Yicheng's hand tightly and said excitedly: "I already have you in my heart, and I can no longer tolerate other women."
"You are the Khan of the Hu tribe in Monan. How can you be so benevolent as a woman? If you really love me, stabilize the situation in Monan, contain Mobei, and bless my Jin Dynasty."
After saying these words, the look on Princess Yicheng's face once again became dazed. She glanced at Liu Jie with difficulty. There was a hint of relief in her eyes. Death was not terrible to her. If she could really go there after death,
Going to Huangquan and meeting her loving father and mother is undoubtedly what Princess Yicheng is looking forward to most. After so many years, she has been tired but has tried her best.
Pushe hugged Princess Yicheng tightly. For such a man, his body was shaking and he cried softly.
Liu Jie sighed, bowed to the unconscious Princess Yicheng, and then withdrew with a gloomy expression.
Li Xun also left.
"Sometimes, for the sake of the overall situation, some people have to be sacrificed. It's sad and deplorable."
Liu Jie raised his head and looked up at the sky, as if he was talking to Li Xun, or to himself, or more like he was speaking to God.
"Li Xun, Princess Yicheng became what she is today because of me. Do you think I am a good person or a bad person?"
Liu Jie looked at Li Xun and suddenly asked.
Li Xun thought for a moment and said silently: "Does the Prime Minister regret it?"
Liu Jie was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Good question, regret? I never regret, Li Xun, you have to remember, if a person has no compassion to save the world, what is the difference between a person and a walking zombie? The overall situation of the world is
, it is extremely dangerous. If you just want to be a wealthy and wealthy individual, stay away. Once you step into it, you cannot have the slightest intention of retreating. Otherwise, in the end, you will only end up harming others and yourself."
After saying these words, the negative look on Liu Jie's face disappeared and became as calm as before. He took a deep look at Li Xun and then strode away.
Looking at Liu Jie's retreating back and recalling those words, Li Xun felt a little touched in his heart.
Fan Zhongyun once said to Li Xun that there are many people with ambitions, but few people in the world can turn their ambitions into firm beliefs and remain unwavering throughout their lives. Liu Jie is undoubtedly such a person, Yang Dao
Perhaps the same is true, but after so many years, have the ambitions and ideals been realized?
Maybe it was realized, or maybe it wasn't, but no matter what, people like Liu Jie are worthy of admiration, because they at least persisted on the path they chose until the end.
It was still early and he couldn't sleep when he went back. Li Xun passed by Sima Tu's residence and walked in.
Sima Tu was reading a book. When he saw Li Xun coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted: "General Li, why are you here?"
Li Xun waved his hand: "It's still early and I can't sleep, so I came to see you."
"General, please take a seat."
Li Xun sat down and Sima Tu poured him a cup of hot tea.
Li Xun took a sip of water and said with a smile: "It's so lively tonight, why are you staying here alone?"
Sima Tu smiled and said: "Drinking will cause trouble, so it's better not to drink."
Li Xun laughed and said: "It was the first time we met, and you drank a lot."
Sima Tu smiled bitterly and said: "I had been hungry for several days at that time. How can I be so particular about eating as much as I can and drinking as much as I can? Now that I'm with the general, I won't have to worry about being hungry in the future. Is this wine okay?
It’s better to drink or not to drink.”
Li Xun smiled and inadvertently saw a piece of white paper on Sima Tu's desk with something written on it.
Sima Tu noticed Li Xun's gaze, picked up the white paper on the desk and handed it to Li Xun.
Li Xun took it and looked at what was written on it, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Why are you writing this?"
Sima Tu said: "It is a good thing for the general to come to Momeng and learn more about things. Maybe it will be useful in the future."
Li Xun nodded and looked at the contents on the white paper. He didn't know whether these things were imagined by Sima Tu.
"You said that Tianxiong Khan's enfeoffment of various disciples was planned by the Han people. What evidence do you have?"
Sima Tu smiled and said: "This kind of speculation has been widely spread in Mobei recently. Although Tianxiong Khan denies it, if you calm down and think about it carefully, you can figure out the reason."
oh!
"Tell me what it means."
Sima Tu said: "In fact, it is easy to figure out that the political situation in the world in recent years has been obviously concentrated here in Longyou. If Tianxiong Khan did not divide the princes, resulting in the dispersion of power and no energy for foreign wars, then Li Zhong would
We dare not send troops from Anbei to go south to Longyou."
Li Xun puzzled: "Tianxiong Khan has always been eager to reunify Mongolia. Even if he cannot send troops to attack Anbei, he can take advantage of the lack of troops in Anbei and be unable to contain them, and send troops to attack the Hu tribe in Monan. In this way
How could Tianxiong Khan let this good opportunity pass?"
Sima Tu sighed and said: "This is also why Prime Minister Liu Jie chose to go to Mo Meng as an envoy at this time."
