第52章 托孤遗恨今不负

“六十余载……山河尚在……”

刘方喃喃复诵,只觉眼前一片朦胧。

前世……

长子战死沙场,桥玄只在军报里写了一句“小儿得其所……”

幼子遭贼劫掠,桥玄下令强攻,“岂以一子之命而纵国贼乎!”

有言赞之,“桥公有百折不挠、临大节而不可夺之风。”

可不管桥玄表现的再怎么凛然,再怎样强作笑颜……

他终究是一个有血有肉的人,也是一个会害怕的父亲。

“羽儿听闻能征胡人,夜里磨剑直至鸡鸣……”

“可见吾桥公祖之骨血未凉……”

桥玄看到桥羽磨剑时,到底是怎样一种心情?
桥玄写下这句话的时候,是不是已然老泪纵横?

刘方也未曾想到,今生桥玄居然选择带着次子再赴沙场。

桥玄能走出这一步,实在是太难……太难……

指节被攥的簌簌作响,刘方反反复复的揉搓着这封手书:

“托孤……又是托孤……”

前世,桥玄死时,世人称之:

“子弟亲宗无在大官者……及卒,家无居业,丧无所殡……”

就是这样的一位桥公,将身后事尽托于他,彼时桥羽与桥兰双双跪在灵前。

可他呢?
纷乱之中,使桥公家眷流离失所。

再闻音讯时,桥兰已不知葬身何处,桥羽孤身南逃隐居。

后,孙策破袁术,与周瑜共娶了桥羽双女。

植儿一篇《登台赋》,仅“揽二桥于东南兮”一句……

便有那污秽之言开始流传,说孤这铜雀为大小桥所筑。

荒谬!

且不说本意是指台畔两桥的景观。

便是孤真要迎二桥,也只为心中之憾,自当以骨肉待之。

世人总言什么来世……来生……

而孤何其有幸,真能再走这么一遭……

刘方深吸一口气,缓缓说道:
“子烈,明日替某入宫向陛下讨两副软甲,汝多过几眼,细细挑选,送至桥府。”

“喏!”

说罢,刘方起身,对月长揖。

但愿桥公父子此去安然……

把一双儿女都押在某身上,某若护不住,九泉之下有何颜面再见桥公?

三封手书,质子、押注、托孤……

挥去缠绵思绪,刘方稍整衣冠:
“兰儿,且为某将众子唤至身前。”

……

夜露凝在檐角,将将滴落在青砖上。

桥兰闻言,执灯欲行,突然后知后觉……

指尖一颤,蓦然回首:

“元义公,刚刚唤小女子什么?”

四目相触的刹那,她忽觉灯芯灼眼。

刘方上前半步,眸中任是柔情:
“日后唤某刘郎便好,不必如此拘谨。”

桥兰一怔,灯盏恍惚脱手。

两人齐齐俯身欲接,灯芯晃出细波,映得两人交叠的影子,似缠绵。

她低头时,见他指尖还悬在半空,方才相触处似有余温,耳根霎时红透。

案头未收的桥玄手书随着光影起伏,恰巧遮住其他字迹,唯留“兰”字在绢帛上轻颤。

她欠身时,素裙扫过阶前,面上已然一片羞容:
“兰儿遵刘郎之言。”

众人十分默契的保持着沉默。

唯有刘方望着她转身时飘起的衣带,忽低笑出声,指节叩在石栏上敲出清响。

“好看么?”

方才还在暗递眼色的众人如遭惊雷,唰地收回目光。

封谞第一个反应过来,佝偻的背脊猛地挺直:
“天造地设!”

“小人观桥公之女,实乃国色……”

左丰抢着接话,却被蹇硕一肘撞得踉跄。

那三角眼笑得眯成细线:

“某说句糙话,刚刚那景……某都看傻了……”

许劭抚须轻笑:

“桥姑子立于明公身侧,当真是龙章凤姿,羡煞旁人。”

看着徐奉憋了半天,也想说点什么的模样。

刘方连连摆手,止住了包括徐奉在内,正欲开口的其余几人。

“尔等倒比某还热切……”

恰时,少年们的喧闹声袭来。

众人也肆无忌惮的泛起了欢笑。

……

桥兰在桥竹迷茫的眼神中,攥着衣带行至刘方身侧,静静侍立。

朱儁和李逵眼观鼻,装作无事发生的样子,走至场中。

只听朱儁一声低吼,将少年们的目光聚集。

李逵则粗声粗气地将少年们拨拉成队列。

刘方负手立在阶前,端详着眼前的九名少年。

刘岱温润白皙,却自有傲气。

刘繇生得方正,浓眉映虎目。

荀彧清秀儒雅,沉肃含威仪。

桥竹俏皮灵动,若雏鹰振翅。

史阿精瘦如猴,尽显江湖气。

颜良根骨不凡,有熊罴之势。

文丑短衫野鬓,如草莽之象。

高览冷目寡言,似鬼魅之影。

皇甫延类其父,只待扶摇日。

正思衬时,忽听一声嘀咕:
“父执……阿兄们站得像桩子……”

荀彧慌忙轻咳掩饰,刘方却放声朗笑:
“坚寿、荀郎、竹儿,尔等可知手书中所言为何?”

皇甫延踏前半步,率先拱手:

“临行前,自叔祖至家父,皆有嘱托,令延自今日起侍奉元义公身侧。”

荀彧眼中闪过一丝犹豫:
“家父……有一言托彧转达,若公有定鼎之意,荀氏愿执灯前驱。”

桥竹扬起脸,瞪着大眼:

“不知……家父只说……让竹儿一切都听父执的便好。”

夜风卷过廊下,刘方目光在荀彧纠结的眉眼间稍顿后:

“既如此……尔等可愿入某门下?”

闻言,荀彧垂眸喃喃:
“可……未备束脩之礼。”

刘方袍袖一挥,拿起三封手书:

“拜师帖、束脩礼皆在其中,尔等无需多虑。”

话落,皇甫延立刻单膝跪地。

荀彧迟疑片刻,长揖及地。

桥竹欢呼着扒住刘方袍角。

刘方抚过桥竹头顶,将另两人扶起。

目光落在那少年宽阔的肩背上:
“琅琊颜氏之子……”

他顿了顿:

“祖战死于五原,父战死于朔方,唯祖母织屦养之,承祖母遗志欲投军报国,却屡遭排挤,是也不是?”

“明公……”

颜良浑身一震,猛地跪地:

“良无祖母无以成人,无明公无以至今日!”

刘方弯腰扶他时,指尖触到他外衫下的补丁:
“某知汝之忠孝,可愿入某门下?”

颜良虎目凝泪,未有言语,只是额头重重磕在青砖上。

刘方缓步走过颜良身侧,目光凝视着另一少年鬓边野草:

“安平文氏之子……”

The Matters of Cao Cao Reincarnating as the Emperor’s Uncle

关于曹操重生成皇叔的那些事

If Cao Cao were to be reborn and experience life as the Emperor's uncle, what would happen? "To the common people, he is the emperor, but to the aristocracy, he is just someone with the surname Liu." "That’s embarrassing." "It’s not embarrassing, do you want to stand up or do you want to restore the Han dynasty?" "I want to stand up and also restore the Han dynasty." "That’s impossible." Cao Cao pointed to his elite soldiers: "Can we do this?" "Yes, the Han will disappear." Cao Cao pointed again at reform: "What about this?" "That can be done, and then you will be gone." Cao Cao smiled: "Then if we combine this and this, can we stand up and restore the Han dynasty?" "May I ask who you are, esteemed one?" "I, Cao Mengde." People are unwilling to believe that I have the heart of the Duke of Zhou. They prefer to believe that I am a cunning hero. They especially want to believe that I am a Han rebel inside and out. In my past life, you said I took advantage of the emperor to command the feudal lords, and I did not quarrel about that. In this life, when you see me, what should you call me? "Emperor Uncle!" In later generations, archaeology occasionally uncovers "Han Zhong's Ancestor: The Decree of the Ming Mission": In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, on a cold night in Luoyang, snow struck the bronze door, sounding like jade shattering. An old steed on the couch, with frosted hair white. Breathing weakly, gazing at the remnants of the candle's glow. The great cause unfinished, the decree has been declared. Heaven's will is hard to defy; how can it be like a Han thief? Who would have thought that as the soul returned to the underworld, I would see the cycles of spring and autumn, and experience the reign of Xiping again. Heaven's will smiled upon me, mending the regrets of my past life. I will not betray the late emperor's heavy trust in me. In this life, wherever the sword points, it is all for the land of Han. Wherever the wine cup spills, it is all for the ministers of Han! The annals will surely record: Expanding territories, reviving the glorious Han, achievements unmatched in
