Chang'an ancient meaning

More than ten days later will be the Yulan Basin Festival. Song Wang Li Chengqi asked Da Ci'en Temple to donate [-] guan to do a meritorious deed for the two deceased queens.Before the beginning of July, the Palace of Prince Song began to be busy, preparing the offerings and various operas for the Yulan Basin, and invited various groups of monks to chant scriptures in the palace.It was Xu time when Li Chengqi walked out of the room slowly. Although it was not yet dark, the courtyard was already lit because of the heavy cloudiness in the evening.The maidservant A Luo followed him out and complained: "In this weather, if it rains, it will be refreshing. If you keep being bored like this, you will be suffocated to death." When Li Chengqi was told by her, he remembered that he was tired and restless today, which was probably related to the weather. He recited in a low voice: "It rains, it rains..." After only one sentence, he suddenly felt that the following words were really piercing, so he stopped again.Ah Luo didn't hear it clearly, and asked: "What did your Highness say?" Li Chengqi shook his head and said: "No."

The two of them strolled to the side of Longchi. This pool runs through the Five Kings' House, and lotus flowers are planted all over the pool. Right now is the time when the scenery is at its best.Red gauze lanterns are hung on the willows on both banks of Yanchi Lake, and the lotus flowers on the bank are illuminated by the lights, and the petals are exquisite and clear like jade carvings.Although there is no wind, the water is still jumping under the light, and the golden and red sparkling waves are rolling in the dark pool water, as if countless river lanterns have been lit, and the eyes of the suffering ghosts are shining in it. A strange beauty.

He walked slowly along the stone bridge to the water pavilion, where the veil hung down to the floor, and the princess led a few women behind the tent, listening to the eminent monk Yifu reciting the Great Nirvana Sutra.Yifu is a disciple of the eminent monk Shenxiu. Although he is not very old, he has become a monk since he was a child. When he recites sutras, he has a pity for the world: "Benevolence, etc., now go quickly. The Tathagata will enter Nirvana soon. Repeat the words The world is empty, the world is empty, from now on we have no help, no religion, poverty and desolation. Once we are far away from the Supreme World Honored One, who should we ask if we have any doubts?"[1]

This paragraph has not yet entered the text of the World-Honored One. It just repeatedly tells the pain of all living beings when they heard that the World-Honored One is going to Nirvana. He has recited this scripture for his mother several times in the past few years. Suddenly, there was a lonely fear in my heart that I had nowhere to tell.On the bank with lights and towers, but in front of his eyes are water, sky and gloom, which separates him from the world. He silently recites the sentence "The world is empty, we will have no rescue and no family from now on, poor and lonely", the world is long, and he can't help it. Distraught, looking around at a loss.

King Pasenadi wept in front of the World Honored One, and his physical body was like a burning flame, gradually perishing, perishing endlessly, and every moment, every moment, every thought could be seen that the imminent death was approaching step by step.The World Honored One enlightened King Pasenadi by saying that the water of the Ganges River has remained unchanged for thousands of years[2]. Li Chengqi thought, could it be that he is really too stupid? Instead of rafting in the water of Furong Lake, it has become a silent river of Yingying Tianhe, making people who are facing each other across the river speechless.The teenagers back then, how could they have imagined that such joy and indulgence would go so far.

I don't know if he is too busy these days, or Hua Nu deliberately distanced himself from him, after the court was over, they couldn't find a chance to meet again.Since he landed, the few people who have been blessed by grace, aunt, flower slave, mother, and father, have been separated one by one. Maybe he is a father and a husband, so he should muster up the courage to be relied on by others, but in his life In my heart, I still have such a strong attachment to them.His aunt's breakup was tantamount to a catastrophe to him, and what was even more frightening was that he and Hua Nu were drifting away. He thought every day, what would he do if his aunt never forgave him?Will he and Hua Nu never return to the past?Is it easy for people to let time slow him down? Is there really a parting in this world that can't be saved even if one's life is lost?

A servant hurried over and said: "Your Highness, Guo Xianggong, please come to the palace with him to meet the Supreme Emperor!" Suddenly, seeing that there seemed to be tears on the lower part of his palace, he said in surprise, "Your Highness?" Li Chengqi suddenly came back to his senses , it was almost night, and the palace gate had already been keyed, so I don't know what happened in the palace.When all the women in the pavilion heard Li Chengqi's arrival, they got up one after another. Princess Yuanshi was pregnant for five months, and she was a little heavy. She was supported by a maid, and she came out and asked in surprise, "Where is Mr. Guo?" Your Excellency didn't have time to enter the mansion, so he waited outside the door, and said that it was urgent." Li Chengqi said, "I'll go and have a look." He didn't care about changing his clothes, so he walked out quickly with the servant.

Looking northward, Yuanshi saw thick ink-like clouds pulling half of the sky and pouring down, pressing down on the cornices of the Chengtian Gate of the towering Taiji Palace in the distance. Li Chengqi's green shirt was disappearing into the pitch-black night.Suddenly, a thunderbolt rolled over, as if it was about to smash the majestic palace and the people under it together, she trembled all over, and there was a wave of nausea in her chest.

Li Chengqi saw Guo Yuanzhen outside the door, and saw that there were hundreds of forbidden troops behind him, he was very surprised and said: "Master Guo, what happened?" Entering the palace to protect the driver, I don't know what is going on." Li Chengqi heard that there was a mutiny in the palace, he was so anxious that he had to get on his horse, and galloped towards Taiji Palace with Guo Yuanzhen.Their horses passed through the east and west cities, when a heavy rain finally fell, and all the torches were doused out. Many soldiers and horses galloped to and fro on the street, and it was hard to tell who was chasing and who was fleeing in the darkness. Li Chengqi was beaten by the rain. Without opening his eyes, he said loudly: "Master Guo! Who is causing the disturbance! Did the Supreme Emperor ever summon Princess Taiping?" Guo Yuanzhen wiped the rain on his face, and said: "I don't know, Your Highness can ask the Supreme Emperor himself."

Li Chengqi reined in his horse subconsciously and looked behind him. The heavy rain separated the truth of the world from him, and he was wrapped in a mass of cold darkness.There was a sharp pain in his heart, and the huge raindrops hit his eyes like fists. He didn't know where he was, let alone where the dim lights were, where Hua Nu and his aunt were.Seeing him stop, Guo Yuanzhen also reined in his horse and said, "Your Highness, it's hard to know the truth in the night. It's more important to see first to ensure the safety of the Supreme Emperor." Li Chengqi was so upset that he nodded and galloped his horse.

They ran outside the Taiji Palace, and saw the brightly lit Chengtian Tower from a distance, and the servants on it shouted loudly: "Who is here?" Li Chengqi couldn't see his father, and shouted tremblingly: "My minister, Li Chengqi, please see me!" The figure flashed to the side of the tower, and the voice was also quite excited, and responded: "Chengqi!" Li Chengqi let out a long breath, got off his horse, and the guard Yu Lin made a way, and he ran to the tower, the emperor couldn't wait, Regardless of the heavy rain coming up to meet him, Li Chengqi saw that his father was fine, his whole body went limp and almost collapsed, he hurriedly said: "Father, what happened in the palace?" Who exactly caused the disturbance is unknown now.

The Supreme Emperor supported him, and said loudly to Guo Yuanzhen who was coming: "Send my order quickly, and order the generals of the imperial army, Chang Yuankai and Li Ci, to lead troops into the palace to capture the rebels." Guo Yuanzhen looked up at the Supreme Emperor and said, and stepped forward Lai knelt down and said: "Your Majesty's imperial decree is to protect the Supreme Emperor. External affairs are handled by His Majesty. Please sit down inside." The Supreme Emperor shook slightly, and asked: "Your Majesty... Sanlang, where is Sanlang?" Guo Yuanzhen said in a deep voice. Said: "The emperor was ordered by the Supreme Emperor to kill Dou Huaizhen and other rebellious officials, please don't worry the Supreme Emperor." Although the sound of heavy rain filled the world, Guo Yuanzhen's few words still resounded, and the Supreme Emperor staggered back a step, his face was full of complacency. Frightened and angry, it slowly turned into unbelievable sorrow. He raised his hand tremblingly, pointed at Guo Yuanzhen and said, "Say it again? Who obeyed my orders?!" Although his voice was high-pitched, it was drowned in the sudden rollover. Amidst the muffled thunder, lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the emaciated and frightened face of the Supreme Emperor.

--------------------------

Guo Yuanzhen had expected that the Supreme Emperor was so frightened and angry. This trembling and weak figure was just a powerless old man at the moment. It can no longer frighten him.There was an unexplainable pity in his heart, and he remembered the prophecy of the Qin Tianjian last year: "Xingye committed Ziweiyuan the previous year."Guo Yuanzhen kowtowed and said calmly: "Your Majesty is ordered by the Supreme Emperor to eradicate the villains." The Supreme Emperor took a step forward and said angrily, "Who is the villain?" Guo Yuanzhen said: "Those who endanger the country."

The Supreme Emperor swayed again, panting and nodded: "I understand, I understand...you, you can't wait after all..." He staggered a step forward and said in a trembling voice: "I want to see peace I want to see Saburo!" Guo Yuanzhen didn't move, the Habayashi guards who came with him ran forward two steps, the armor on their bodies made a soul-stirring clang, and the stalwart figure stood solemnly in front of the Supreme Emperor, forming a A cold wall.The Supreme Emperor was forced to stop by the silent momentum, he turned his head in disbelief, and said: "You... are going to commit crimes!" Guo Yuanzhen stood up slowly and said: "I am here to protect the Supreme Emperor Zhou Quan, Please come and rest in the Supreme Emperor, and when His Majesty has something important to do, he will come and report to the Supreme Emperor."

Li Chengqi didn't speak all the time. He turned his head and looked down the city, but he only saw a brilliant fire. In this rainy night, it was like the phosphorous fire on Beimang Mountain, dancing with strange and brilliant light. He was finally in this world, seeing the ghost in the nightmare. The three ways of fire.It is said that the royal family of the Li family has escaped from the sea of ​​suffering. It turns out that the human world is a vast ocean of flames.He took a deep breath, turned around and ran towards the top of the city. The Supreme Emperor was so frightened that his heart was torn apart, and he cried out in pain: "Feng Nu, no!"

Li Chengqi had already stretched out his feet and climbed onto the city wall, and was about to jump down, when he heard this word suddenly, he couldn't help being startled, his movements were a little slow, and he was held hostage by Yu Lin who was rushing up.The Taishang Huang let out a sigh of relief, his body limp and collapsed, and the feather forests on both sides hurriedly supported him.Li Chengqi looked back at Guo Yuanzhen, he couldn't see Guo Yuanzhen's cold face clearly in the dark, but he clearly saw another face with sharp edges and corners, full of ambition.He bit his lip hard, a salty taste spread out in his mouth.

Guo Yuanzhen said: "Your Highness, the Supreme Emperor is old and the concubine is pregnant. Don't make any mistakes. I hope Your Highness will protect the body of a thousand pieces of gold." Li Chengqi gritted his teeth and said, "Do you dare? Or is he?" Guo Yuanzhen was silent for a moment and said: "I don't dare, but there is chaos in the city tonight, there is no guarantee that the princess will be hurt by the thieves."

The Supreme Emperor fainted and woke up again. Hearing Guo Yuanzhen's words, he never expected that the emperor would threaten Li Chengqi with the life of Princess Song. He thought of the other three sons and Concubine Doulu in the palace. At this moment, he didn't know what was going on. There was a bone-piercing chill, and he said in a sad voice: "Hurry up, go and tell Sanlang, I will give him whatever he wants, and I will move out of the Wude Hall today, and I will return the government to him! As long as he doesn't hurt the Taiping family! You go!" When Guo Yuanzhen heard the Supreme Emperor's pleading and begging, his heart felt sour again, and he said in a slightly lower voice, "Don't worry, the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty is filial by nature. This move is only for the sake of purging the court, and has no intention of disturbing the Supreme Emperor and Princess Taiping."

At this moment, the emperor was pacing with his sword in the Forbidden Army camp at the north gate of Taiji Palace, and there were occasional sounds of aggressive boots running back and forth outside. order, no one dared to move out.Among all the golden armored soldiers, only the emperor was wearing a round-necked shirt, and he took it off and threw it aside because his head was wet on the road when he came here, and a few glaring silver threads on his temples were exposed under the lamplight. .When he bowed his head in meditation, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, depicting a few deep lines on his cheeks.The Beimen Imperial Guards were not unfamiliar with the emperor, and it was not the first time that they had fought with him to overthrow the court, but they suddenly felt that the emperor in front of him seemed to be ten years older than the energetic young man when he killed Webster.

General Guoyi Li Shoude rushed in, the emperor raised his head suddenly, and asked eagerly, "Have you caught it?" Li Shoude wiped off the rain on his face and said, "Thanks to your Majesty's thorough arrangements, the people sent by Taiping to rescue my son have not yet entered." The mansion was confiscated. The minister took Xue Chongjian and his wife, and put them in the camp of the minister, waiting for His Majesty to deal with it." The emperor was slightly relieved, and said: "When Taiping is at the end of the road, I don't care about this son anymore. Gao Lishi said: "Taiping escaped from the city. After all, he let the tiger go back to the mountain. General Li, please go out of the city immediately to search for it." Just leave it to General Ge Fushun."

While speaking, Wang Ju hurried in.Although he was drenched all over, he was full of spring breeze, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Xiao Zhizhong and Cui Shi have been taken down. The old man Dou Huaizhen escaped from the house. The road is slippery. He fell into a ditch and died. I have someone fish him out." , and brought them here too." The emperor pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Aiqing, so, General Li will escort these criminals to the Wannian County Prison, and I will release them tomorrow." Is the article finished?"

Su Ting in the corner raised his head. He was dressed in black, his hair was wrapped in black cloth, and his handsome face was thin and haggard.His father Su Gui passed away not long ago and now Ding You is still at home, Gao Lishi hastily brought him into the palace yesterday, he never expected to discuss such an important matter with him.He hadn't slept for two nights, although his eyes were bloodshot, but his expression was still calm, he put down the pen slowly, knelt up, nodded lightly and said: "The imperial edict has been drafted, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

The emperor stepped forward, picked up a few pieces of yellow silk, scanned the ten lines at a glance, and said with a smile: "The other day Li Qiao said that Xiao Su's thoughts are like a spring, and these articles are suitable for you to write. Follow me to see the Supreme Emperor." Su Ting bowed his head and said: "I am an ominous person, and I should avoid such important events." The emperor's face darkened slightly, and said: "Su Xueshi is a filial son, and I don't want to get a bad name with me." Su Ting bowed his head and said: " Yesterday His Majesty summoned me, and I immediately seized my love to enter the palace, just because I belong to the king, when the country is in peril, I should stand up for the disaster. Today, Your Majesty clarified that the ministers of Yuyu, Bing, Wenmo and Carving Worms will have nothing to do with staying with Your Majesty. For the benefit, it should be returned to the Limen guarding system."

The emperor stared at this handsome and talented man for a moment, his Qinghua demeanor made one never think of the youthful years he spent in the stables, why should they be indisputable and have no revenge for the mistakes of his parents?The emperor leaned over to Su Ting's ear and whispered: "Do you know why I asked you to write this article?" Su Ting slightly raised his eyes to touch the emperor, then lowered his head again, and lowered his voice, saying: "Your Majesty knows that I am suffering. I know that your majesty is in trouble." The emperor sighed, patted Su Ting on the shoulder, and said: "The suffering of loyalty and filial piety is not unique to your subjects." He straightened up and said, "Forget it, I will help you do it." Filial son."

When the emperor came to the Chengtian Gate Tower Hall, the torrential rain that had fallen all night had stopped, and a grayish morning light appeared in the east.The emperor took a deep breath of cool and moist air, and when the morning breeze blew, his robe flapped, as if he wanted to rise into the sky.He stared at the vast city of Chang'an below him, and the hazy mountains in the distance undulated gently, like a girl's carcass stretched across, so charming and affectionate.There is no woman who can captivate a city and a country. Only the delicacy of this beautiful river and mountain can inspire a man's pride, ambition, and courage in such a way that it will make people smash their bones and die without regret.The farewell last night, the heartache, the flames of war, the fear, the blood dripping from the corners of the old man's mouth, all floated like clouds in the morning breeze.He knew that it won't be long before the sun rises in the east, and wherever the sun goes, it will belong to Li Longji's glorious and prosperous world.

When the emperor entered the palace, Guo Yuanzhen came out in a hurry, kowtowed and said: "I congratulate your majesty on clearing the world!" The emperor said: "How are the emperor and elder brother?" Zhou, it is obvious that you have caused a catastrophe, Your Majesty, please punish him." The emperor helped him up and said, "My father and brother, I know that, last night you were more difficult than me."

As he walked in, he heard a cough first, and then the sound of porcelain being smashed. The Supreme Emperor coughed and said, "Sanlang... Is Sanlang here?" , the ground is a broken medicine bowl.He ordered to the imperial physician: "Bring another bowl of medicine." He knelt down by the couch and said, "I am shocked by the death of my minister."

The Supreme Emperor struggled to prop up his body, tightly grasped the Emperor's arm, and said eagerly, "Taiping, where is Taiping?"

The emperor saw his father's hair in a messy bun, and a strand of messy hair stuck to his cheek, which was already gray-white. He saw the veins on the back of his trembling hand, which was so weak and old, that it was different from the gentleness he saw in ordinary times. The calm attitude is different.The strange thing is that he didn't feel the slightest sympathy, but a kind of disgust. He remembered that the palace people said that when his mother had an accident, his father behaved as usual, so if he and Taiping are easy to win today, his father should also behave as usual. .He turned to look at Li Chengqi, seeing that Li Chengqi kept his eyes downcast, as if he didn't see him, he was a little surprised, and said: "Brother, don't you want to ask Hua Nu?"

Li Chengqi was much calmer than the Supreme Emperor, and said lightly: "Concubine Yuan is a poor person, please don't make things difficult for her, and let her go home." Only then did the emperor understand that Li Chengqi was actually planning to die with his own body , teasingly smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is not at fault, why did eldest brother have a wife? Don't worry, Taiping is on Zhongnan Mountain, and Hua Nu is in Wannian County Prison. I didn't hurt them at all."

A gleam of joy finally flashed across the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, he held the emperor's hand tightly and said: "Daddy knows, Daddy knows that you will keep your oath. In the past, Daddy was wrong. Daddy should not have sided with Taiping and interfered in politics. Tomorrow, no, today Daddy will return I'm in charge of you, I just ask you to let her live, daddy begs you!"

The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Did Dad ask Empress Zetian like this?" So I wrote a few imperial edicts for my father." He turned his head and told Gao Lishi: "Read."

Gao Lishi took out the roll of yellow silk from his bosom, and said in a sharp voice: "The times are difficult, the king's career is so difficult, the chaos is always there, and there is no such thing in any generation. Our country has been in the period of sagehood. Man admires righteousness, is far and wide without fear. I am ignorant, and my heirs guard Pizuo. I am loud and reasonable, and I forget the scene. The well-off in Jiyu is the nature of the common life. I also make the family know the courtesy, and the people are loyal and good. It is called treachery and hidden plot, and Xiao Qiang is provocative. Rebels Dou Huaizhen, Xiao Zhizhong, Cen Xi, Xue Ji, Li You, Chang Yuankai, Tang Sui, Tang Xin, Li Jin, Li Qin, Jia Yingfu, Fu Xiaozhong, Seng Huifan, etc. , Salty to mediocrity, misunderstood the favor, did not show any effect, and then promoted the heart of the owl. A total of the Northern Army, broke into the ban, and will want to abolish me and the emperor, in order to usurp. I ordered the emperor to lead the people to discuss Eliminate, kill at the right time. The original evil is killed, the traitor party is wiped out, the clan society is safe, and the human god Xuyue...

When the Taishang Emperor heard the string of names, he felt heartbroken and painful, and felt dizzy and short of breath again. After listening intently, seeing that Princess Taiping was not mentioned, his heart eased again, and he said sadly: "You have handled it well. Let me sign it with a seal." Gao Lishi put the silk cloth on the desk, and the Supreme Emperor picked up the pen, but his hands trembled violently, and he took a breath and said, "Fengnu, help me." Li Chengqi felt sore With tears in his eyes, he supported his father, took his hand and wrote a few words, and ordered Gao Lishi to fetch the Supreme Emperor's jade seal and stamp it on it.

Gao Lishi took out the second letter and said: "The honor of the great treasure, forgive me for not doing it for myself, the weight of the divine weapon must lie in the ability... I live in the courtyard, remembering Fen Shui, doing nothing to cultivate my ambition, so as to fulfill my heart. Every hundred Gentlemen of honor, with the Li and common people, suitable for my bosom, everyone is sincere and honest, and the announcement is far and wide, so that the salty emissary can hear about it."

After hearing a few sentences, the Supreme Emperor knew that it was the imperial edict that forced him to return to power, so he didn't bother to listen carefully. He held Li Chengqi's hand silently, feeling at a loss in his heart. If he had obeyed Taiping and made Li Chengqi the crown prince that day, what would it be like? The situation will make the country peaceful, and will their brothers live in harmony?Or go back to the cycle of reincarnation, and eventually return to today, back to the present, is this the inescapable curse of their Li family from the beginning of the founding of the country?

He suddenly remembered the eulogy he wrote for Emperor Wu of Liang last year: "Myanmar is only Liang Wu, ninety-five rulers. What is self-defeating, sinking and releasing the door. Disaster revitalizes Buddhist temples, and soldiers entangle the emperor. Unexpectedly, he was forced by evil, the way of heaven Rather." At that time, he laughed at others, but he did not expect that today's "soldiers besieging the emperor" would end up on his own head, and it was his own son who started the army, so he didn't know how future generations would mock him.He, Taiping, Fengnu, Saburo, they were all wrong, but they couldn't find the right way.

When Li Chengqi saw Gao Lishi holding up this edict again, he finally couldn't help looking at the emperor and said: "Sanlang, you are persecuting your father so much, aren't you afraid of Dong Hu's pen?" The Supreme Emperor hurriedly squeezed Li Chengqi's hand, and said : "I want to repay the government and Saburo, my body and spirit are not good enough, it is really hard to lift the magic weapon. I should not live in the Wude Palace anymore, let's go to the Baifuyuan, it is cool there, let Concubine Doulu arrange it, I'll move in today." He knew in his heart that no matter what his status was in this palace, his true identity was a prisoner, so he would find a quiet prison to stay there, as long as he knew that his relatives were safe, he would be useless in this life , the only knowledge is patience.

The emperor watched his father sign the two edicts, smiled slightly and said, "Daddy is not feeling well, and I dare not disturb you. I will send someone to ask Mrs. Doulu to take care of her. Brother, follow me to the court." The Supreme Emperor stroked the emperor's cheek. With the back of his hand, he said with tears in his eyes: "Sanlang, Daddy thank you very much." The emperor suppressed the disgust in his heart, and said with a smile, "Take care, Daddy."

When they came out of the hall, Li Chengqi suddenly said: "Sanlang, is it true what you said to daddy?" The emperor turned around with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Don't you believe Sanlang? I swore to daddy that I will not hurt you in this life." My aunt's family." Li Chengqi's lips trembled for a moment, then suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, and kowtowed heavily on the ground, Li Longji said: "Brother killed the crow slave." But he didn't help, and raised his jaw to Gao Lishi, Gao Lishi hurried forward Helping Li Chengqi up, he said with a smile: "The family never allows you to make a grand ceremony. Your Highness, please get up." Li Chengqi took a deep breath and said, "I want to see him." It's inconvenient to meet each other, don't worry, he's just being wronged in prison for a few days, just to put on a show, no one dares to embarrass him." A loud bell rang, and Li Longji smiled and said: "It's time to go to court, let's go quickly " He stepped out of the hall first, raised his head slightly, and used his face to receive the magnificent sunrise after the clouds and fog cleared, but there was a cold smile on his face.

Many ministers only knew that there was great chaos in the city yesterday, but they didn't know that the world was turned upside down overnight, and they came to many seats in the class that had been vacated overnight.While prostrating, he secretly raised his eyes. The young emperor was sitting high on the throne, and for the first time in several years, there were no curtains on both sides.As the curtain was drawn down, it was the power of the Supreme Emperor Li Dan, and the ministers each had their own hearts, and they lived through the early court in a trance.Too many disasters almost wiped out people's hopes. The emperor was young and vigorous, and they all knew that a liquidation had just begun, and no one was sure that they could get a few drops of the rain and dew of the prosperous age.

After retiring from the imperial court, the emperor ordered Li Chengqi to serve the Supreme Emperor in the Baifuyuan. When he returned to Wude Hall, Ge Fushun asked, "Have all Taiping's family members been brought to justice?" Ge Fushun said, "They are all in prison, but Taiping's daughter County Lord Lingjue had a miscarriage on the way to escort yesterday, do you want her to ask the doctor to take a look?" The emperor pursed his lips coldly, and said: "Her lord Tang Jun wants to declare the canonical punishment, and this saves me Ask the doctor in prison to show her, if she can survive, I will allow her to become a monk in the future." He ordered: "You go back to Zhongnan Mountain, Taiping can't cause any troubles on the mountain, don't use force , but she must not be allowed to contact the ministers of the court. Tell her that her children are all in my hands, and she doesn't want to see their heads hang over the city gate, so just go down the mountain."

Gao Lishi's mouth moved slightly, and the emperor smiled and said, "Speak up if you have something to say." Gao Lishi said: "My slaves always feel that keeping peace is a great disaster. She has too deep roots in the court. If she is revived... ..." The emperor laughed and said, "Who said she was going to be kept?" Gao Lishi was surprised and said, "But the Zhai family told the Supreme Emperor..." The emperor said: "I have made an oath, so the imperial edict to deal with Taiping must come from the Supreme Emperor." Down."

After Ge Fushun left, the emperor leaned against the screen to rest casually. He didn't know if he was overtired. His body was obviously weak and weak, but his mind was still clear. The exhaustion and emptiness invaded.Seeing that he was a little dazed, Gao Lishi stepped forward and said softly: "Sleep at home for a while, and the servant will press the sun for you." The emperor whispered: "Have you dealt with Yuan Yuan's funeral?" Gao Lishi heard it again This name gave me a shock like a world away, and I shuddered, and hurriedly said: "Your maidservant, go and take care of it." The emperor said: "Oh, there is a sandalwood dowry box locked in the cabinet in her room, you go and get it for me. .”

Gao Lishi hurried back after leaving for half an hour, seeing the emperor fell asleep at his desk, he hurriedly knelt down, but when the box was placed on the ground, there was a light "da" sound, and the emperor called out: "Yuan Yuan. "Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "The servant has already finished the matter, and the box has been brought." The emperor opened his eyes dimly, and seemed a little surprised when he saw Gao Lishi, rubbed his eyes again, his expression gradually became cold, and nodded Said: "Bring it, you go down."

There is no one in the huge hall, but there are always voices in the ears, or light smiles, or chattering love words, echoing in the court that has lost time.The emperor stared at the exquisite dowry box for a long time. He didn't know what was hidden inside, but he wanted to find out with a hint of viciousness and hope. He had seen her extreme affection and ruthlessness before, so what was he still afraid of? Woolen cloth?He took out a Tubo knife from his boot, inserted the tip of the knife into the gap of the box, turned it hard, and with a snap, the lid popped open.

He took out the contents one by one, a few old wooden hairpins, which he had worn in Luoyang Forbidden Garden, a bundle of hair tied with red silk, a few flowers, a few chess pieces, and the verses he wrote. , that piece of white dragon jade, after all, she never exchanged her golden step to shake it back.He even found the prescription for abortion. It turned out that she treated him in the same way. She took in all of his affection and ruthlessness.

The emperor raised his head, he felt that he was crying, but his eyes were dry, so he had to face the void and let out a dry laugh.
