Eastward Flow

In Xuan Jingchen's dream, she ran to the Fengxian Hall surrounded by flames, and rescued Zhong Lisuo who was almost buried in the flames.The Lanzhou reinforcements crossed Liangshui and captured Li Mingcheng, the governor of Wanzhou, the leader of the rebel army. Just like in reality, she uprooted the deeply rooted Li family in Chu State and beheaded Li Mingcheng on Dongmen Street.

The Chu State regained its vitality, and she joined hands with Zhong Lisuo to clean up the imperial court that was controlled by powerful ministers after the war.In order to celebrate her great victory in the north, the young emperor specially toured the two sides of the Taiwan Strait to demonstrate his national prestige.She traveled hand in hand with the emperor on both sides of the strait, seeing all the scenery along the way.The Chu State in the dream, just as Emperor Zhao imagined, is a quiet, peaceful, rich and beautiful Chu State.

Such a peaceful and beautiful dream made Xuan Jingchen very happy.At the end of the dream, Zhong Lisuo said goodbye on the shore of Liangshui in a flat boat. She said she would go along the river to the East China Sea.

"Goodbye, Zitong." It was Emperor Zhao who said goodbye with a smile in his ear.Xuan Jingchen stood on the shore, watched the boat carrying Emperor Zhao gradually go away, and replied in a low voice: "Go all the way, Your Majesty."

In the dream, they saw the scenes they had longed for one by one, and finally said goodbye.

When I woke up from a dream, it was already morning.

Xuan Jingchen, who was lying in the Yunmeng Palace, opened his eyes, propped himself up, looked at the candles that were still lit, and felt boundless warmth pouring into his chest.Sour and astringent, but warm.She reached out, put her right palm on her chest, and sighed softly.

The voice echoed low in the empty hall, revealing a difficult taste.

The moment the Queen woke up, Zhong Lisuo also woke up from his dream.After she opened her eyes, what came to mind was everything about the dream.She must have hoped so much for the ending to have such a beautiful dream.Zhong Lisuo thought about it for a long time before realizing that he was lying on the bed.

Didn't she go to Yunmeng Hall to help her complete the ceremony last night at the request of the Commander?And after that?Afterwards, she dreamed of Zitong, and everything that happened afterwards seemed to her like a dream.How did she get here?

Zhong Lisuo lifted the quilt, only feeling a little swollen in his head.She propped herself up and got off the bed. She saw her shoes put on by the bed, took off the thick green robe cover hanging on the side, and saw a piece of letter paper pressed on the coffee table not far away.

Zhong Lisuo walked over, took it off and took a look, but it was left behind by Chief Commander Xiang Sinian.

The letter answered all of Zhong Lisuo's doubts. It turned out that there was too much tranquilizing incense last night, which caused Zhong Lisuo in the formation to fall asleep.Xiang Sinian was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he ordered someone to bring her back and put her in the guest room where she was staying.

Zhong Lisuo sighed after seeing her, no wonder she was able to dream everything about Zitong so clearly last night.

After burning Xiang Sinian's letter paper with a lamp, Zhong Lisuo, who had already got up, went to the Guanzhong cafeteria to have breakfast before packing his luggage and returning home.

Just as she was packing the package, there was a knock on the door.It was none other than Xiang Sinian who came.

"Thank you, little brother, for what happened last night. But, little brother, are you going home now?" Xiang Sinian stood by the small table, looked at Zhong Lisuo who was busy packing the package, looked at her expression carefully, and asked softly .

"Yeah, I'm ready to go back. You don't have to thank me for what happened last night, it's just a little effort." Zhong Lisuo responded, packing his things quickly.

Seeing that there was no abnormality on her face, Xiang Sinian coughed lightly, and said: "Last night, I was inexperienced, and the trouble was like a dream. There are good and bad people who fall into the dream. I don't know if the senior brother had a strange dream last night." matter?"

strange things?not at all.Zhong Lisuo thought about the queen's face in the dream, and said with a smile: "It's nothing strange, it's better to say that thanks to my junior sister, I had a good dream last night."

One, a good dream hidden in her heart that was finally fully depicted.

Seeing her cheerful expression, Xiang Sinian's worries finally subsided a little.Zhong Lisuo asked again: "But who sent me back last night?"

"Senior brother, don't worry, this person is my senior sister, the uncle Feng of Supervisor Tiansi."

After Xiang Sinian finished speaking, Zhong Lisuo frowned.As far as she knew, during the Emperor Assassin's period, Jian Tiansi had no orders from the two gods of Fengbohe who guarded the emperor.Later, Qing Lan served as chief commander, and kept saying that she would find Feng Bo and He Bo for her, but now they really found them?

If it is a senior sister, then it should be the successor of Feng Bo after the assassin emperor.

Zhong Lisuo thought for a moment, then asked, "Does Jian Tiansi have Feng Bo again now? What about the river god?" The river god who is in charge of the river, the water of all things, will he return?

Xiang Sinian shook his head, and said: "Bo Feng and He Shen disappeared for a long time during the reign of Emperor Assassin. Master later only found Feng Bo's descendants, but not the River God. By the way, senior brother, how do you know that Feng Bo and He Shen are still alive?" Did my master tell you about the gods?"

Zhong Lisuo was startled. The disappearance of Fengshen and He Bo, who were closely guarding the emperor, was a secret from the previous court. The reason she knew it was because after she ascended the throne, when the chief commander personally led all the supervisors to visit her, Said them one by one.

So Zhong Lisuo stabilized his mind and agreed with a yes.

Xiang Sinian showed the same expression as he expected, and after Zhong Lisuo left a sentence of "Thank you, Senior Sister Feng Bo for me", he sent her out of Taiyiguan.

Looking at Zhong Lisuo's gradually receding figure, she thought in her heart, if Zhong Lisuo knew that last night that idiot ignored the creed of protecting the Eastern Emperor by himself.As for holding you who was in the way in her eyes and blowing the wind on the roof in the middle of the night, until the idiot hugged you back until you had something to say, I'm afraid you won't really want to thank her.

Xiang Sinian sent Zhong Lisuo away, and recalled the grateful expression that the empress looked at her when she woke up this morning, and the sentence to leave the edict, and felt a severe headache.

Wushan Yunmeng, Wushan Yunmeng, how many people want to sleep in the dream and don't want to wake up?She never expected that Emperor Zhao held such a heavy weight in the Queen's heart.So when is it more appropriate for the little brother, the chosen one, to bring it up.

With such thoughts in mind, the young Da Si Ming sighed, and walked into the empress' bedroom at the time of lighting the lamps after sunset.

"Your Majesty." As soon as he stepped into the hall, Chief Si Ming saluted respectfully when he saw a woman wearing a long robe and reading a book beside the small couch.

"Please, Commander." Xuan Jingchen put down the book in his hand, beckoning Commander to come closer, "Sit down."

"No." Sitting down, the chief minister looked at the gentle face of the queen, and asked softly, "Why did your Majesty summon the ministers?"

"It's nothing, I just want to listen to your lecture." Xuan Jingchen's eyes fell on the immature girl opposite, and said, "I benefited a lot from the help of the chief minister last night. Now I want to pray for Emperor Zhao. I recite scriptures and burn incense every day, but this "Tai Yi Ji" is really obscure to me, so I specially ask Da Si Ming to explain it to me."

I think that when I was in Hongwenkan, Xuan Jingchen, who was not interested in the Taiyi Sect at all, passed the test of classics and righteousness by rote memorization.Now, because of Emperor Zhao's thoughts, Xuan Jingchen, who seems to be relieved after a dream, is willing to pray for Zhong Lisuo's next life with his life's belief.

When Chief Commander Xiang Sinian heard the words, waves of waves arose in his heart.The empress, who had been indifferent to the Taiyi sect before, had such thoughts after Wushan Yunmeng, which surprised and delighted Da Siming.

There were countless waves in her mind, but she still maintained the original calmness on her face. After pondering for a while, she said slowly: "Your Majesty is willing to listen to my minister to explain the scriptures of Taiyi Sect. It is a common blessing for the gate supervisor and Tiansi. And the spirit of Emperor Zhao will also be grateful for His Majesty's affection."

"Just before that, can your majesty listen to a few disrespectful words from the minister?" Da Si Ming stared straight at Xuan Jingchen with his star-like eyes.

Xuan Jingchen picked up the "Tai Yi Ji" on the case, and said with a smile: "Qing, but it's okay."

Xiang Sinian bit his lip, hesitated for a while and said, "Does Your Majesty remember Chu Lingdi?"

Of course she knew about Chu Lingdi, the father of Emperor Assassin, the world-famous cultivator.

Xuan Jingchen nodded, and then heard the girl's clear voice: "When Emperor Ling of Chu first succeeded to the throne, he fell in love at first sight because he saw a goddess at the Eastern Emperor's Sacrifice. Si Ming, ask him about the law of the spirit, so as to seek to meet the goddess. After Da Si Ming rejected him, the master of the Taiyi Temple at that time took the initiative to ask the spirit for the Emperor Ling for the prosperity of the Taiyi Sect."

Xuan Jingchen listened carefully, and the immature girl continued: "After asking the spirit, Emperor Ling was overjoyed, and entered the Taiyi Gate under the instigation of Guanzhu, and devoted himself to cultivating Taoism regardless of state affairs. The Li family benefited from this, and became a powerful person, and they were called Li Yang Shuanghu together with their relatives at the time, the Yang family."

"In order to consolidate power, the Li family and the temple master merged to instigate Lingdi, saying that mortal women have the incarnation of goddesses, and Lingdi married countless folk women back to the palace one by one according to the temple master's calculation." The emperor's mother, who was once called Concubine Su, one of the twin sisters of Wanzhou.

"Not only that, but the children under Lingdi's knees were also sent to the temple to be raised after they were born, and they also followed Lingdi to practice Taoism before they became adults, so that Lingdi could ascend to the Kingdom of God and be with the goddess after death."

Xiang Sinian glanced at the queen, and said: "Emperor Ling has practiced Taoism for many years, but he has not established a crown prince. In order to fight for power, the Li and Yang families fought to the death on the matter of establishing a crown prince. Li Guanzhu suggested that His Majesty ask the East Emperor for a sacrifice. The selection of the prince finally found a monarch, and that is Emperor Assassin."

Xuan Jingchen knew everything that happened next.

From time to time, there are people who are worried about the country and loyal to the emperor, and they try their best to assist after the crown prince is selected. Of course, this also includes the chief minister at that time, who is Qinglan's master.

When fighting against the power of the Li family, the ministers chose the son of the Yang family as the emperor's husband, and threatened the emperor to marry him.Thus, there was a series of tragedies that followed.

After the death of Da Si Ming, Ren Ran accepted the supervision of Tiansi, and launched the most vicious massacre on the day of Emperor Assassin's delivery.At that time, all the masters of the Taiyi Temple and Li Guanzhu were beheaded, and the Yang and Li families were convicted of treason, killing all nine clans.

After that, Emperor Zhong Lichen worked hard for eight years to rectify the imperial courts one by one.But after sending the princess Zhong Lisuo to Yunzhou, a series of actions to subjugate the country began.

People say that Emperor Assassin's massacre of Taiyi's disciples offended the Eastern Emperor and caused the disaster of the country's subjugation.But the source of this series is her father, who is delusional and devoted to God.

Xiang Sinian looked at the Queen's serious expression, and said sincerely: "Take the matter of Emperor Ling of Chu as an example, and I hope His Majesty will keep it in mind. Your Majesty, in the eyes of the Eastern Emperor, a ruler should put the people first. Those who serve the people of the world are the best disciples of the Eastern Emperor."

Xuan Jingchen heard the words, only smiled slightly and said: "The commander-in-chief is worrying too much. Naturally, I have a sense of proportion in my heart. If I don't talk about the Eastern Emperor, I will say that it is Emperor Zhao, and I will not allow me to neglect the government. I just want to hear Jingyi, it’s all about burning incense and praying for His Majesty every evening. If so, is Da Si Ming still willing to teach me?”

Xiang Sinian breathed a sigh of relief, and readily responded, "It's my honor. Your Majesty really wants to study the scriptures, but I think there is a better candidate besides my Majesty."

"Oh, who else is better than you in Jiantiansi?"

"It's not Supervisor Tiansi, it's a senior of mine." Xiang Sinian smiled slightly, thinking that the opportunity he finally got should not be wasted, so he said sincerely: "She has been familiar with the scriptures since she was a child, and she has the guidance of her master. In this respect, I am not as good as her. And she is very free every day, and she can come to explain His Majesty's doubts every day. Such a person can't be better."

The author has something to say: Tai Ichiji: I never thought it would be me.
