58 – Finding a way to live (3)

Of course, what happened in the midfield is something that makes my ears perk up.

Jungwon and Hyeongju are closely related.

Just as the Western Zhou Massacre brought numerous refugees into Jingzhou, Jingzhou must move accordingly depending on what happens in the central plains.

Yoo Pyo is not a leading character.

He reigns as a loser in the region called Jingju, and is not someone who seeks to expand his reach in Jingju.

So Hyeongju always has to focus on movements elsewhere.

That applies not only to me but also to Yupyo.

But Yubira.

I didn’t know anything about Yu-bi.

I’ve never even heard the name.

‘The emperor changed so much in such a fast time that I don’t even remember his name.’

There was no reason for a villager like me to remember the emperor’s name, but with Dong Zhuo moving the capital to Chang’an, interest in the emperor had already moved away from the central plains.

Interest in the ‘Yu’ royal family also faded away.

The representative Yu family I know is Yu Biao, and at most there are only Yu Yu, who is said to have been killed by Gongsun Zan, and Yu Jang, who is said to have become the king of Ikju.

But Yubi.

Wanting to know about him, I tried to get information from the author’s people under the pretext of going grocery shopping with Seo Seo.

“Yu Bi? Oh, who can survive against that Lu Bu?”

“what…?”

Did you fight against Lu Bu and survive?

“You mean he fought a battle? Where? There’s no way he was from Cao Cao’s army.”

“At Hurouguan! Liu Bei and his two brothers fought together against Lü Bu. It is said that the three of them almost overwhelmed Lü Bu.”

“…Liu Bei directly dealt with Lu Bu with his sword?”

It’s not an average bet.

A considerable number of military officers lost their heads while fighting against Lu Bu, but even though the three of them attacked him, the fact that he survived by clashing swords against him was quite remarkable.

One piece of information, I survived the fight with Lu Bu.

“Is there anything special? Like where you’re from or how you fought.”

“I’m not sure about the specifics, but I heard he swings dual swords from a horse.”

“lie.”

He stood and shook his head.

“Does that even make sense? I’ve never even heard of a mounted dual sword.”

“Is it very difficult?”

“It’s not at the level of being difficult. Swinging dual swords means supporting yourself on a horse with only your lower body, and that means your lower body is extremely strong.”

“oh….”

Information two, Yubi’s lower body is amazing.

He is a master of the sharp sword and no one else, and since this is what Seo says, he must be a master of the sword.

“Thanks for letting me know.”

“What a great gentleman. You drove that wicked woman out of Western Zhou? Wow, how peaceful the land ruled by such a person will be!”

Liu Bei’s story also spread to Jingju.

It was a story I heard while trying to find out why Cao Cao retreated, but Liu Bei was clearly not an ordinary person.

Dokyeom is trying to hand over his position at Seoju Jasa to such a being.

I don’t know much about Liu Bei yet, but I was able to guess this.

“Seo-seo. I think Yubi is probably Do-gyeom’s secret child.”

“That doesn’t sound like anything.”

“Don’t you know? He is the child of a secret affair with a woman from the Yu family. Otherwise, it makes no sense to suddenly give up the position of Seoju Jasa to someone from far away.”

“Are you trying to make fun of me?”

“About half.”

It’s half joking, but half serious.

Is it possible to talk about the place called Zhuzi Temple carelessly?

no.

Just like Yupyo and Yujang, the background to being able to serve as kings in Jingju and Ikju respectively is the position of Jujasa.

Although Xuzhou is on the verge of collapse and ruin due to Cao Cao, it is a very important place that connects North and South in the eastern part of the Central Plains.

“If this era is called the Warring States Period, a small kingdom like the ‘Xi Dynasty’ could be created based on the Western Zhou Dynasty. But then he passes the throne to someone who is not his own child? Huh, I don’t understand.”

“Is Hyeongju called Hyeongna and Ikju called Ikna?”

“yes.”

“…Then, wouldn’t Tao-gyeom have any intention of becoming the king of the Western Dynasty? He was just an ordinary Zhu Xi who got caught up in the turbulent times, but he got caught in the wrong hands by Cao Cao and became the flagship of the turbulent times.”

What happens when a common sense bureaucrat meets an unreasonable daughter? I thought it might be a good example to learn about how victims of difficult times become devastated.

“Isn’t it true that Dokyeom had no children to take over?”

“Even if you have children, you may not want to pass on the position of the Western Province to your children. You suffered a lot of mental pain while fighting with Cao Cao, so you do not want to pass that on to your children.”

“Is it okay for Yuvi?”

“Aren’t they trying to hand it over because they think it’s okay?”

What on earth is Yubi?

I’m becoming more and more curious….

It doesn’t fade.

“You’ll find out more later.”

How will they treat Yeo Bu?

Sun Yu expected that Lu Bu would rely on Liu Bei.

If Lu Bu goes to Liu Bei, what will Liu Bei do?

Would they accept someone who said he once fought in the anti-Dong Zhuo coalition?

“Stand up, what would you do?”

“Are you talking about a case where I become Liu Bei of Zhou and Lü Bu, who was defeated by Cao Cao, asks me to be the chief minister?”

“okay.”

“If it were me, I would tell you to lock the gate and go somewhere else.”

Standing there, he thought about the name Lu Bu several times and then shook his head.

“No matter how powerful he may be, the fact that he replaced my father twice is a bit much.”

Because he was a man of deep filial piety, he did not look kindly on Lu Bu, who could be said to be unfilial.

In fact, not everyone will look at it favorably.

“Change it. That’s quite a radical expression.”

“But isn’t that wrong? It is said that he killed Dong Zhuo and considered the apostle Wang Yun as his father for a while, so including his biological father, he can be said to have four fathers. Is there anyone in the world who can choose his parents so easily? ?”

“Choose your parents, that’s right. I also have three fathers.”

“yes?”

The stand was frozen solid.

I patted her surprised back and made her relax.

“hahahaha, just kidding. Do you think I would have done something like Lu Bu?”

“Right, right? hahahaha.”

“My first father abandoned me, and my second father raised me after I was abandoned. I didn’t serve my third father for long, but I held a funeral with my own hands when he passed away. So, if you want to criticize Lu Bu, call him a scoundrel who had three fathers. “Don’t say that.”

I’m a little sick.

In that sense, the phrase “chosen parents” sticks in my mouth.

“You chose your parents.”

“Well, then, Master. Do you know anything about your biological father?”

“what….”

I saw it.

While living in Jingju, I took a close look at the roots of what kind of people my parents were.

“You have to eat well and live well. But I don’t really want to call them my parents.”

“Why?”

“Because the person who gave birth did not fulfill the duties of a parent, and I consider the person who raised me with my heart to be my parent.”

“okay….”

I don’t know how far I’ve gone while talking about Yeo Bu, but I still feel relieved somehow.

“From my first father I inherited flesh and blood, and from my second father I learned about humans.”

“Then what about the third father?”

“He’s a bit like that, but…”

“Why are you doing that?”

“He left me a lot of legacy.”

Specifically, he left me the money to buy land in Heohyeon.

You can say that he is a teacher of life, and thanks to him, I have been able to have enough leisure in my life.

Thin and long.

Live according to my will.

“Is it a miscarriage…?”

“Uh huh. What are those eyes? Do you know how important property is? Since time immemorial, a person can live only if there is food in the storehouse. If you don’t have property….”

Hwiiing.

A chilling wind blew from the northwest.

“If you starve, you too will die.”

* * *

Imperial Palace.

A spider had spun a web on the throne, which was decorated with rich decorations, and the young man sitting on the throne was so tired that it looked like he was going to collapse at any moment.

“…….”

The person who is staring blankly at the ceiling that looks as if it might collapse at any moment is the emperor of an imperial family.

The emperor looked at bugs crawling on the ceiling with an unfocused face.

Shishish*t.

The bug landed on the web spun by two spiders perched on the beam. With their prey already caught on the line, the spiders began to fight each other, stretching out their front legs.

“ha ha ha….”

The emperor just laughed.

Because you think that bug is like you? no.

It was because of the vain thought that if I ate that bug, I would be able to fill my hungry stomach.

The emperor was suffering from starvation.

so.

“!!”

He was startled by the fragrant smell of food permeating his nose. It was so sweet, but it felt like it was poisonous.

“Now, when will you…?”

“I smell blood.”

The black-haired woman came up to the emperor and handed him some porridge. Even after receiving the porridge, the emperor did not dare to lift the spoon stuck in the porridge.

“Eat. You have to eat a lot at times like that.”

“…Who sent it? Lee Gak? Gwak Sa? Or both? Now you have killed me and found a new emperor?”

“That’s not it either. I….”

The woman paused for a moment and then pointed to the ceiling.

“The sun sent me here.”

“what…?”

“Nong. hehehe.”

Who would dare to make fun of the emperor?

But she could.

Because the emperor was actually under the protection of the woman in front of him – the Empress Dowager.

“Let me ask your Majesty. If there is a path to life that heaven has revealed, would you follow it no matter what hardships you face?”

“…How can I live?”

“That’s right. There may be some despair ahead. I fell into a well, grabbed a rope, and climbed up following a spot of light on the ceiling, but the end may actually be just a ray of light shining through the rocky clumps of the blocked ceiling.”

Gafu took out a small object from his sleeve.

Then he quietly placed it next to the throne.

“The choice is yours, Your Majesty.”

“…If you follow that light.”

The emperor continued in tears.

“At least you won’t starve to death at the bottom of a well, right?”

“sure.”

“Can I trust you?”

“no.”

“Sigh.”

The emperor lowered his head.

Water droplets splashed onto the white porridge.

“You…are so selfish.”

“Oh my, if you were truly selfish you wouldn’t have done this.”

Gafu bowed and stepped back.

“Shin, Ga Gamhwa will resign from his position as of today. I sincerely hope to see you again in the future…hehehe.”

Gafu left the place.

The emperor unwrapped the small piece of cloth left behind by his wife.

“…….”

The emperor looked inside the cloth and put it into his bosom.

Jeokjeok, Jeokjeok.

With the intention of chewing the whole spoon, the emperor scooped up the porridge and stood up from the throne.

next day.

There was no one on the throne.
