Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 30

Naturally, Ji Zhan would not know that the emperor's life is not long. In his opinion, the current emperor is in his prime, with both literary and military skills, and he is a rare wise emperor.

But especially so, Ji Zhan felt even more regretful. The emperor's mood to assert his imperial power is understandable, but the southern scholars can be reused to balance the overseas Chinese surnames. Although there are many kinds of power games in the court, the emperor's talents can completely balance them out. There will no longer be a dominance situation.As long as the current situation is stable and recuperating, Guozuo may not be unable to revive.

However, the emperor chose the most eager for quick success and instant benefit, and supported the demon of the clan. It is true that this would allow the emperor to quickly get rid of the state of isolation and helplessness.But the fangs of the clan are vicious, and the Yin Jian is not far away. Once it becomes a climate, then even Jiangnan will no longer be a pure land.

No matter what, Ji Zhan can't just sit back and watch this kind of thing happen, even if he is near the end of his life, he definitely doesn't want to be the chief culprit in the chaos of Sanwu Sangzi!

Sitting at the bottom, Shen Zhezi could feel the pain and struggle in the old man's turbid eyes, and he couldn't bear it. He was disturbing the final peace of a dying old man, and even made him die with regret.

Ji Zhan seeks the first merit of the country, attracts Xi Jian to the court, and uses the power of the exile commander to thwart Wang's act of stealing fame and weapons.This was actually just the emperor's personal choice, but it was obvious that Ji Zhan put the responsibility on himself.

After pondering for a long time, Shen Zhezi said: "Senior, you are both moral and righteous, and you can retire. I shouldn't disturb your peace anymore, but I just want to get through the treacherous situation. I really can't do it. I only hope that the old man can support you." One journey. If you can pass this test, the boy promises to the old man that since my family is a general, I am willing to be a veteran in this life. With the salary of the old man, I will pass it on from generation to generation. As long as I have a breath, I will protect my hometown and never suffer from war!"

Hearing this, Ji Zhan only showed a slight smile on his face, but then reached out and handed the invitation back to Shen Zhezi.

Shen Zhezi took back the invitation, and immediately tore it into pieces in front of Ji Zhan, showing his attitude that he would never give up.

When Ji Zhan saw this scene, his face became even more strange.At his age, it is difficult to be bewitched by words anymore. To evaluate a person is more to observe his behavior.Shen Zhezi tearing up the invitation in front of him was tantamount to destroying Wu Xingshen's way of retreat. He hadn't seen this heroic determination alone for a long time.

Looking at Shen Zhezi again, Ji Zhan's eyes showed undisguised admiration. He turned his eyes and smiled at the middle-aged man beside him: "Zhichuan, what do you think of us as a backward person in Wuzhong?"

The middle-aged man seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Shen Zhezi's confrontation. After hearing the words, his eyes wandered on the young man for a moment, and then he said in a somewhat blunt tone: "Precocious and shrewd, with a radiant aura, a tired face and a heartache, it is not the appearance of a long life."

Being called a short-lived ghost face to face, Shen Zhezi was a little displeased immediately. Who is this middle-aged man?Ji Zhan called it Zhichuan, Zhichuan?
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Zhezi's face suddenly changed, and he looked at the middle-aged man again, his gaze no longer dared to be disrespectful, and he said cautiously: "Sir, you are the little fairy Baopuzi?"

Seeing that the other party snorted coldly and did not answer, his attitude was already very clear, Shen Zhezi suddenly felt like crying without tears.He already felt that he was young and weak, and wanted to visit Ge Hong to seek some health-preserving techniques, but he couldn't spare the time.I didn't expect to meet here inadvertently, but I had the audacity to contradict the other party. Judging by his attitude, it was obvious that he didn't have a good impression of him.

Smacking his somewhat parched mouth, Shen Zhezi hurriedly apologized for his own life, and made amends: "The kid is talking too much, and offended Mr. Mr. Mr. is as open-minded as a god, please don't mind it."

"Haha, the child is arrogant and condescending!"

Seeing this scene, Ji Zhan patted the bed and burst out laughing.But Ge Hong's face was even more gloomy, as if he really didn't want to talk to this little guy who was bored just by looking at him.

Seeing this, Shen Zhezi couldn't help feeling a little annoyed, blaming himself for being too careless.At such an age, there are not many candidates among Nanshi who can go deep into the inner room to take care of the dying old man, and can also be familiar with informal etiquette.As long as a little speculation is made, probably only Ge Hong, who is also a senior scholar in Danyang and has a long family background.

Although he was dismissed and ignored by the other party, Shen Zhezi could bear this little setback, and asked with a shy face, "Mr. Ge, do you think I can save you?"

Seeing the young man's pitiful appearance, Ji Zhan couldn't help but laughed happily again, while Ji You, who had been silent for a long time, sneered now: "The destiny is fixed, you said this, so it turns out that it's your turn to not be indifferent deal with it."

Shen Zhezi said seriously: "Ants can steal their lives, let alone people. I am not greedy for life, but I don't want to let my talent and ambition be misplaced and die early."

These words came from an eight-year-old boy, which made people feel a little awkward, but everyone in the room saw Shen Zhezi's performance, so they didn't feel abrupt.Ji Zhan opened his mouth and said: "Qiong Bao died early, and the world regrets it. Zhichuan, I know that you are a noble person who hides from the world, and you don't want to be contaminated by people like us. But if the talent bestowed by Xiaolang can't be benefited In the world, it is really a pity."

Hearing that Ji Zhan praised Shen Zhezi so much, everyone was moved.Ge Hong sighed, pointing at Ji Zhan and said: "You old man, you can't feel at ease when you die, you really have to blame yourself. If he doesn't show off his talent, he can live longer with a clear mind and a peaceful mind. He is a sick and weak body. I am restless in the room, and my heart is exhausted, so what can I do to help."

Shen Zhezi was silent when he heard the words. He was forced by the current situation since time travel, and he has been running around. Recently, he has indeed lost energy and barely supported himself, just as Ge Hong said.But if you let him think about nothing, do nothing, just live in peace and health, it is really impossible.

It's not that he is arrogant enough to think that only he can save the world, but as a variable who broke into this chaotic world, if he can't leave his own trace, how can he be reconciled?It is his long-cherished wish to launch the Northern Expedition. People nowadays don't have this need. To achieve any small goal, they have to make detours. It is conceivable that the rest of their lives will be busy.

"The eternal night is as black as ink. May it turn into a meteor to show the light. Even if it only shines for a moment, if I can point out one or two lost ways, I have nothing to regret." Shen Zhezi didn't want to persuade anyone, but Give yourself a reason to keep going.

After Ge Hong heard this, his expression froze slightly, he took a deep look at Shen Zhezi, then looked at Ji Zhan who was thinking thoughtfully on the couch, and suddenly sneered: "People like you are always used to putting yourself It's too important. I can't feel safe, but I always hope to be able to be seen by the world, a bunch of stupid lunatics."

Ji Zhan gave a wry smile, and looked down at the young man below, just as Shen Zhezi also raised his head, a pair of old and young saw helplessness in each other's eyes, and were relatively speechless.If there is a limit, follow the limitless, it is almost over.But there are always people who can't bear to break this truth, and insist on forcing it, insisting on it.

After a while, Ji Zhan pointed at Ge Hong and said with a smile: "Zhichuan, you are not a madman. Knowing that my days are numbered, you still insist on staying by your side. We may not share the same interests, but we have similar deeds. stop."

Ge Hong snorted coldly, seemingly disdainful, but he didn't say anything to refute.

Then, Ji Zhan said to Shen Zhezi: "When you came to Jiankang, did you ever visit Wang Situ?"

Shen Zhezi was slightly taken aback, and then shook his head.

"Yu Li should go to pay a visit. Go now."

After Ji Zhan finished speaking, his expression was quite tired, and he told Shen Zhezi: "After visiting the Wangmen, you come to my house again. I am going to rest, and I will talk to you in detail after recovering my energy."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and after a while, he began to snore evenly.It can be seen that the conversation just now is to cheer up, but in fact he is very sleepy.

Although Shen Zhezi still had doubts, it was inconvenient to ask after seeing the situation, so he could only withdraw with Ji Kuang and others.

Perhaps because of Ji Zhan's approval, although Ji You and Ji Kuang have not changed their attitude towards Shen Zhezi, their attitude has finally improved, and they let him have dinner in the mansion.

Shen Zhezi has been thinking about what is the meaning of Ji Zhan asking him to visit the Wang family. It is true that the Wang family is considered to be the benefactor of the father. Although they have parted ways before, since he has come to Jiankang, in terms of etiquette, he should really pay a visit. For a moment, especially now that the Wang family is in mourning.

But the truth is such a truth, but Shen Zhezi has to think more.The old man ran away and released the Wang family's pigeons. Now that it's the season, he shouldn't expect the Wang family to greet him with a smile. It's even possible that he will be kicked out with a stick.

But since Ji Zhan gave his orders solemnly, Shen Zhezi couldn't turn a deaf ear to it.Even though he knew that this move was asking for trouble, he had to go there.

After eating at Ji's house, Shen Zhezi left first, took a few guards with him, cheered himself up, and walked to Wang's house in the same alley.
