274, Chapter 274

Mr. Wei secretly suspected that because the marks on his neck disappeared, he was stunned for a moment. If he hadn't only drank a little wine today, he might have suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

The old man wearing long, wide sleeves let go of his hands behind his back, and a look of disdain appeared on his face, which only had light lines at the ends of his eyes at this age.

"Did you go out and meet a woman?"

woman? Where is the woman? Mr. Wei shook his head in confusion.

"laugh."

Although he was fifty years old, the old man who looked younger than him squinted his eyes slightly, put his nose in front of his son, and after sniffing, he looked up at Mr. Wei with his narrowed eyes full of ridicule.

"Why don't I notice that you have such a special hobby?"

Mr. Wei didn't understand what his father was saying at all. As the old man stood up, he subconsciously raised his sleeves and smelled himself, but found nothing.

"Father, I don't understand what you mean."

"Tsk."

In the dark courtyard, the old man dressed in white did not answer. Instead, he turned around and sat on the stone bench, slowly pouring a glass of wine into the wine glass in front of him.

Only then did Mr. Wei realize that there were wine, dishes and a wine pot on the stone table. After pouring the wine, the old man stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite of the food. After chewing it all, he turned his head and looked at his son.

"Go, go to that tree and catch the insects on it."

Master Wei looked along his father's hand and saw that he was pointing at the big tree under which he was enjoying the coolness during the day.

It's late at night, where are the insects?

Seeing Mr. Wei's hesitation, Wei Mingyan put down his chopsticks and said, "Why don't you go?"

There was obviously no anger on his face, and there was no anger in the action of putting down his chopsticks, but Mr. Wei was forced to look at his father's light eyes as if he had a bucket of cold water poured on his head.

He didn't care whether there were any insects at night, so he hurried to the big tree and looked around the tree in the light of the lanterns hanging above.

Anyway, he looked for it, so he can't blame him if he can't find his father... Huh?

Mr. Wei looked at a black insect on the tree trunk in front of him in shock. It looked like a common cabbage insect, fat and fat, lying on the trunk. But Mr. Wei had never seen a black cabbage insect before, and its whole body was jet black. , even the back seems to be glowing under the lantern.

So bizarre.

My father said he came here to look for bugs, and he really found one. Could it be that he really...

Mr. Wei, who was thinking "Is my father really not an ordinary person?" suddenly paused.

Why couldn't it be that my father caught the bugs and put them here, and then asked him to find them?

An ordinary person would never do such a boring thing, but if it were this old man in their family...

Mr. Wei quietly raised his eyes to look at his father, who was sitting on a stone bench eating food and wine but not drinking. He thought of the starry sky he had just watched at night when there was no star.

Mr. Wei's mouth twitched.

It seems that my father is really capable of such a thing...

"What are you doing in the cold?" The old man without raising his head seemed to have eyes behind his back, urging in a cold voice, "Hurry up and catch it."

"Yes, it's coming."

Mr. Wei was startled by the sudden sound, and quickly went to squeeze the black insect with his hands.

When he followed Shangguan to deal with floods, he encountered bugs many times, so he was naturally not afraid of them. When he held it in his hand with two fingers, Master Wei realized that the black bug did not move. Looking at it, Just like death.

Suddenly, I became even more determined that it was my father who put it up.

After catching the bug and putting it on the table in front of his father, Master Wei asked respectfully, "I wonder what my father wants this for?"

Wei Mingyan glanced at his son coldly, picked up the black insect with chopsticks and threw it into the wine. Under Master Wei's shocked gaze, he even poked the wine glass a few times with his chopsticks.

Mr. Wei: "...Father?"

This is really crazy.

He must be crazy.

"While the Zhou Kingdom was still there, Emperor Wu Ling made Zhang's daughter a noble concubine. After becoming a concubine, she began to indulge in the harem and stayed away from the court for dozens of days."

Wei Mingyan said, holding the wine glass in one hand with his clear-jointed white hands, and using chopsticks in the other hand to spin the glass. His originally weak voice became even softer now, "In the tenth year of Wu Leng, there was widespread resentment among the people of the Zhou Dynasty. King Liu rebelled, eventually destroyed the Zhou Kingdom, and proclaimed himself emperor."

Mr. Wei has been reading history books since he was a child, so he naturally knew that this was a story recorded in the history books. He was a little confused, "Why did my father talk about this?"

"Emperor Wu Ling has been on the throne for five years. He has always been diligent and caring for the people, and has never been willing to indulge in women. However, after he was granted the title of imperial concubine, his temperament changed drastically. He no longer cares about political affairs. Do you know what will happen?"

Mr. Wei was startled, "Does father want to be like the history books and think that the imperial concubine harmed the country?"

After slowly turning his chopsticks in the cup, Wei Mingyan raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why, you don't think so?"

The moon, which had been covered by clouds, gradually emerged. The yard was covered by moonlight and became brighter than before. Mr. Wei looked at his father, but strangely found that as the moonlight became darker, the fine lines on the corners of his father's eyes appeared. It seemed as if they were gradually disappearing.

Why, how could this happen...

Such a strange thing made Mr. Wei subconsciously take a step back and look at the father in front of him, with a chill running down his back.

"You are close to the villain, but you want to avoid me as your father."

Under the moonlight, the old man, who seemed to have a younger face, hooked his hand at his son, "Come, tell me, father, do you think the fall of the Zhou Kingdom had anything to do with Concubine Zhang Guifei?"

Mr. Wei really didn't want to tell the truth in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, he seemed to be uncontrollably bald, "Er, I feel that you can't blame all the things on one woman, after all..." It was Emperor Wu Ling who changed his temper."

"You are sympathetic." What Master Wei didn't expect was that his father did not show anger after hearing this, but smiled, "You have such an opinion, and you are not wasting our father and son."

He leaned back slightly, and slowly turned the chopsticks in his hand in the cup again. He lowered his eyes slightly and talked about the past in a calm tone, "In the fourth year of Wu Leng, the Zhang family was in the concubine position. She was pregnant with a dragon fetus and had a very good relationship with Emperor Wu Ling, but she was afraid of the power of the Queen Mother, so she didn't move up to the throne. "

"In the fifth year of Wu Leng's reign, Zhang's mother entered the palace and presented a treasure called Nv Xiang to Zhang. From then on, Emperor Wu Ling's temperament changed drastically. He stayed in the concubine's residence day and night and refused to step out. Half a step."

"Since Emperor Wu Ling stopped handling government affairs, Madam Zhang has tried to persuade him countless times, but to no avail."

The wine in the glass gradually turned into a rich black mass. Wei Mingyan stopped, casually threw the chopsticks on the stone table, and said softly, "In the sixth year of Wu Leng, after Zhang persuaded Emperor Wu Ling to go to court to handle government affairs, Die by suicide."

Mr. Wei was so overwhelmed by the huge amount of information that he felt dizzy for a while. "But, it is written in history books that Zhang was buried in the sea of ​​​​fire together with Emperor Wu Ling when the palace was destroyed in the tenth year of Wu Leng."

"right."

The old man stood up, held the wine, and came to his son, "The history books are not wrong. The Zhang family was indeed in the sea of ​​fire with Emperor Wu Ling, but it was not written that Concubine Zhang was still alive at that time."

"In the four years since her death, Emperor Wu Ling still slept and ate with Mrs. Zhang. In order to ensure that the body would not rot, he dug her belly open, took out her internal organs, and placed them on silk cloth. The imperial concubine's palace was always kept in the cold ice. Emperor Wu Ling, just like Zhang during his lifetime, had conjugal affairs with her day and night..."

A matter of husband and wife, with a dead person...

Mr. Wei's face was livid, his throat was rolling, and he almost vomited.

How beautiful is Zhang, so that an emperor would even want her to die... ugh...

Wei Mingyan looked at his son who was bent over and retching in front of him. He covered his nose with one hand in disgust and held the wine glass in his other hand, handing it to Mr. Wei lightly.

"Drink him."

Mr. Wei, who had just managed to suppress his nausea and straightened up, looked at the black mass in the cup: "...Drink, drink it??"

"nature."

The old man's expression was indifferent, but he couldn't refuse the hand holding the wine glass and handed it forward again, "If you don't want to be like Emperor Wu Ling, just drink this glass of wine."

Mr. Wei's face turned extremely pale for a moment, "Father, me, why did I become like Emperor Wu Ling..."

"Today, someone used daughter's fragrance on you."

The old man said, completely ignoring the look of horror on his son's face, and still covering his nose in disgust, "A father can clearly smell this stink from ten miles away."

"If a man who smells this fragrance is touched by a woman, he will fall into madness and only want to have sex with her. Later, whatever the woman says will be whatever she says. Even if she asks you to die for her, you There will be no hesitation.”

"Speaking of which." Wei Mingyan shook his head with some regret, "I'm afraid Zhang and Emperor Wu Ling were really in love. One of them committed suicide in order not to shake the country, and the other didn't kill her even though he could stay awake... …”

However, Mr. Wei didn't bother to lament with his father whether the emperor and his concubine hundreds of years ago had true love.

He was almost scared to death! !

What daughter is fragrant, what is falling into madness.

By the way, woman! !

Mr. Wei immediately remembered his father's question about his contact with a woman outside. The pitiful-looking woman who sold her body to bury her father suddenly appeared in Mr. Wei's mind.

At that time, he did have the idea of ​​taking this woman back.

If it weren't for the lack of money, maybe the woman would have been brought to the house by now.

Then in the future, will he be like Emperor Wu Ling, unable to control himself at all, or even become a puppet who can do whatever the woman says.

The old man held the wine glass and said again, "Drink."

Mr. Wei didn't think about anything, took it, and poured wine into his mouth desperately.

Gudong, swallowed.

Then, his pale face turned into livid color in an instant.

Well, it tastes terrible.

Wei Mingyan glanced at his son who was retching with a green face, and shook his head.

"Thirty years ago, your mother and I were not cautious enough when we had a child."
