Twilight collected

The westerly wind is blowing, and the clouds are clear autumn.

The frosty air is clear, Cong Sha is dewy, and Xuan Chan cicadas cry sadly. It is a scene of early autumn.

Tianque's birthday is approaching. In order to stabilize people's hearts, a special banquet is held in Fufeng Pavilion.In the dark sky, Hanxuan has already led a group of nobles, waiting for His Excellency Fufeng.Seeing the Tianque entering the hall over there, he also led the people to sit down one by one.

Fufeng Pavilion is located in the land of Qingyun. In autumn, when the wind is strong, curtains are hung and screens are also set up.Because of the high and cold position, strong and beautiful colors are not suitable, so the furnishings in the pavilion are all elegant.The screen is made up of twelve silk screens with distant mountains and evening smoke on both sides, full of small bridges and flowing water, and the clear charm of the countryside.

Seeing that the first seat was empty, Tian Que asked, "The princess hasn't arrived yet?"

Hanxuan bowed and stood under Tianque's seat, and said, "The princess is newly married, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to enter the palace."

Tian Que frowned slightly, and didn't say much, seeing that there was still a vacant seat in the pavilion, he asked again: "Is there anyone else who hasn't arrived yet?"

Han Xuan looked over and replied, "It's the younger brother of the late Emperor Jiayan and his noble concubine, Pingchuan Jun Xipei."

Before the words fell, I saw someone slowly entering the hall, and when I got closer, I saw it was Na Xipei.Before the imperial driver, he bowed down, Hong Sheng said: "The old minister Xipei sees the holy driver. The minister's chariots and horses are delayed. Seeing that the driver is late, I hope to make amends."

Han Xuan saw that although he bowed his head to the ground, his words were not very respectful, and he was quite self-confident.Recalling the frame-up of Xi's family in the past, he couldn't help but feel guilty, so he just kept silent.But from the corner of his eyes, he could see that under Na Xiyiran's crown, there were a few silver threads, which made her feel sad for no reason.

Tian Que didn't say anything for a long time, Han Xuan looked at him, and saw that he was calm and relaxed, and he was also half angry.

"Ai Qing hasn't been in the palace for a long time, and the journey is unfamiliar, it's natural." Tian Que said, "The princess's body is not in good condition. Qing was once a close relative of the royal family. She is very expensive, so she sat here and had a feast with me."

Tian Que's words were quite sarcastic, but Xi Pei didn't realize it, instead he got up and sat on Tian Ruo's seat.Seeing this situation, all relatives and dignitaries at the banquet looked sideways, and there were whispers in the hall.

There was a banquet in the morning without drinking, and everyone chatted happily.Because of Tianque's large-scale military campaign, relatives and nobles have long expressed grievances, so Tianque intends to be lenient when hosting a banquet this time.

The sky is clear, and although there are many candles in the pavilion, it is still a little dim in comparison.The curtains and screens were originally used to keep out the wind when getting up in the morning, but now they become a burden. Tianque ordered people to remove the heavy curtains and lightly open the screen fans.When the palace people got the order, they scattered in all directions.

But he didn't want to, just after the first curtain was raised, he saw a cold arrow passing through the hall, directly hitting Xipei's belly.

For a moment, everyone was shocked, their feet turned pale, and they lost their minds.When everyone came back to their senses, only birds and mice ran away, panicked and lost, and the hall was in a state of panic.

Han Xuan's heart trembled, he was stunned for a long time, and then he yelled "Guardian", immediately Yu Lin entered the palace and greeted each other with swords.

The sky is blue and yellow, and there is no owner, looking at Hanxuan.Han Xuan could clearly see the suspicion and fear on his face, he knew that he was not good, but he was not eager to argue.

Thinking that the dark arrow was poisonous, Xi Pei's lips were already purple and black, with black blood in his mouth, and he was no longer breathing.

An accident happened in Fufeng Pavilion, and Tianque ordered everyone to stay in the side hall of Yaozhuo Palace for interrogation.He ordered Uncle Yue to bring people to inspect and inspect, and Yulin searched all over Fufeng Pavilion.As for Hanxuan, he was ordered to wait in the back hall of Yaozhuo Palace. When Tianque came back from inquiry, the two of them just closed the door and talked.

Tian Que's complexion was iron, he didn't look at Han Xuan, but only focused on the painting on the wall.Autumn light streams down through the window edge, and the stone-blue floor tiles are mottled.And Tianque is all in black, standing in it, he is a fairy from Yushu, like a heavenly man.In this auspicious brain and green smoke, among the multi-coloured and engraved gold, Tianque's long body stands tall, which is originally a gentle scene, but Hanxuan looked at it, but was awed.

All the palace people were sent out, and the two faced each other at this time, although Han Xuan had a clear conscience, he felt a little timid when he saw Tian Que's brow furrowed in thick clouds.

"The palace people came to report, the hidden weapon is hidden under the eaves, as long as the curtain is lightened, it will affect the mechanism." Tianque said lightly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for your negligence." Han Xuan knelt down slowly, his face still calm and unobstructed.

"Hanxuan." Tian Que hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Is it a negligence, or is it intentional?"

Han Xuan was shocked when he heard the words, his whole body was cold.Looking at the sky in front of me, the tenderness of the past years welled up in my heart for a moment, turning into tears, lingering in Hanxuan's eyes.

"Na Xi Yiran, you don't hesitate to do it, but..." Tian Que sighed, "At that table, the eldest princess was supposed to be seated."

Hanxuan understood for a moment, and he only choked up and said: "Why do you want to put the eldest princess to death?"

Tianque was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The princess is getting married, if you want to be in Lei Suian..."

Hanxuan's heart is so cold.He committed himself to the ground, staring blankly, and said indifferently: "I don't want you and me, and there will be a day."

Hearing this, Tianque turned his head to look at Hanxuan, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

Hanxuan calmed down, and said coldly: "If today's matter is aimed at the princess, it will cause a catastrophe and hurt your majesty's reputation. If it is aimed at the Xi family, it will make the courtiers feel insecure and the court will be stabilized." .And Your Majesty, you only suspect that I vent my hatred because of jealousy?"

There was silence in the hall for a long time, only the sound of autumn was anxious, the leaves fell and rustled, and they left the branches, flying alone by the wind.

Unexpectedly, someone dressed in red had already stood outside the carved gate.The peonies on the sideburns, accompanied by a few flying black hairs, move slightly with the wind.

If something happened in Fufeng Pavilion, if the sky has a good ear, it will know immediately, you must be afraid in your heart, and you must ask yourself to understand.

When he entered the Yaozhuo palace through the side gate, he saw the grass and trees Fusuli, covered with pearls and jade.If you look closely, you can see that Lan Ze has ears, standing silently under the window.

Tianruo was full of turmoil in his heart, so he hurried to the door with only his attendants.All the attendants in the palace were sent out. When they saw the sky coming, they were about to raise their voices, but if they looked sharply at the sky, they dared not speak.

Therefore, what the two said, the sound is heard, and it is known to the sky.If there is anger in the eyes of the sky, it is only as full as a red flower on the sideburns.

Hearing this, Tian Ruo turned around and left.The people in the palace bowed down to salute, and the two people in the palace noticed it.However, the two faced each other like this, and they had no intention of interfering with the situation outside the palace.

"Forget it. The days when you and I have no doubts have passed away and never returned." Han Xuan smiled bitterly, "I just don't know when it started? When His Majesty rewarded me with rain and dew and sent me into the palace? Was it me who set up a trap to trap His Majesty in the Dechi Palace? Was it the elder brother's abrupt confinement at the time, or is it because the thieves are hiding in the dark today? Or is it day and night, you and I are just dreamers, let it go to the end, It's all a grudge!"

Since the matter of Xiangge that day, Hanxuan no longer wears water colors.Today, he is dressed in the color of sand and green, kneeling in the hall, like a fragrant man on the ground.The autumn light is slowly rising, Han Xuan's plain head and bright eyes, his face is full of light, looking around, he can only feel that the bright moon dew, cold mist and mist described by the predecessors are all in front of his eyes.

Tian Que looked at it stupidly, the thick clouds in his brows were still there, but there was a look of sorrow in his eyes.In the backlight, his figure was surrounded by a halo, which added a bit of warmth, but Han Xuan felt alienated when he saw the relatives in his eyes.

"Hanxuan, among tens of millions of people, I will definitely believe in you; but among tens of millions of people, if I want to believe in you, those tens of millions of people will make me hesitate." People change you and me, or these tens of millions of people make you and me reveal our true colors."

Tian Que closed his eyes sadly, only to see two lines of clear tears streaming down.

"But at this moment, I only want to go back to those thousands of people with you."

I have been here for several years, but I have never seen Tianque's face full of radiance, and I know that he calls himself "I" instead of "Zhen", and my heart hurts so much.Hanxuan had just turned into an angry sea, and now there was only the cold pool of autumn water left.

Han Xuan stepped forward on his knees and hugged Tian Que's legs, "You and I can't get out of the Nine Layers of Jade Que, but as long as our hearts are together, we will return with you."

The sky is as clear as washing, the pillow mat is cool, and the wells are flying down.

Outside the first gate, Tian Ruo, accompanied by Lu Xiao, retreated from the palace attendants, and hurried out of Yaozhuo Palace.His mind was in a mess, and he had no intention of going out of the palace to return to his residence at the moment, so he went to his old residence, Linyou Palace.

Linyou Palace is still the same as before, the courtyard is full of yellow leaves covering the ground, only the berry moss is evergreen.Looking up, there are tired geese passing by by chance, singing through Bixu.

In a beautiful autumn scenery, Tian Ruo is dressed in red, extremely beautiful.However, there is a touch of frost in his eyes, but it is breathtaking.

While walking, the two talked about their talents.Tian Ruo's voice was like a cold blade, and he asked Lu Xiao: "Do you think it is the Lei family, or someone else?"

"I don't know." Lu Xiao said timidly, "It's just like what Mrs. Lei said, it's really a thieves who try to disturb people's hearts."

"That's right. With Lei's character, how can others hide their bows in the palace? This move is too variable, and if you are not careful, you will burn yourself." Tian Ruo frowned, "But if it is not for Lei, it will be who?"

"It's not clear who will benefit from plotting against the princess."

"Xiao Xiao, do you think it could be..." Tian Ruo kept silent and said, "Gu is the main line of the royal family, and was born of his wife. Being on the throne is a hidden worry. And what happened to Rou Ke Ge back then ..."

Lu Xiao also had a look of fear: "It is necessary to be on guard against others. Plan ahead, and the princess should rely on someone."

Tian Ruo thought to himself for a long time, and said: "General Zhen Guo's wife, An He, is well with Gu Zi, and you can go and meet him with Gu Zi."

The two of them stopped talking and ignored the affairs of the palace.However, in this cool and clear autumn, Tianruo seems to have entered a state of impermanence in cold and heat.

In the afternoon of that day, Tianruo took a small sedan chair, entered the [-]-acre peach grove behind the Xiao residence from the side gate of the garden mu.This trip is not a major event, in the capital, it is like a stone falling into raging waves, no one will notice.However, tens of miles away, someone could hear the wind.

That bony face was as cold as ever.Although the temples are in early autumn, the heroic spirit remains unchanged.

"The city of the princess, you should not be underestimated." Si Chengping was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion, and when he heard the attendant's report, his expression was gloomy, he sighed lightly, and then he twitched his beard and remained silent.

This trip to Beijing was originally for the celebration of the Tianque Zichen. The group of people have been traveling for many days, and now they are stationed in the post station.Although he has been away from Beijing for many years, he does not want to strategize, and he still knows the turmoil in Beijing like the palm of his hand.

After a long while, he said: "You should report to the palace that the old man is caught in the wind and cold. If he enters Beijing immediately, he may hinder the safety of the saint, and he may delay it for several days. I hope you will forgive me."

The attendant got the order, turned around and left.Yu Sichengping was the only one sitting alone in the Nuan Pavilion.Not long after, Si Chengping tapped the teacup lightly, and saw a figure standing behind the bamboo curtain.

"You go to Beijing first and settle this matter." After saying that, he got up and went in, plotting and planning, without knowing it.

Si Chengping's messengers came on horseback, and the next day dawn broke, and the news entered Yaozhuo Palace.

At that time, Hanxuan was arranging breakfast in the side hall of the bedroom, and across the door was Tianque's residence.Uncle Yue is the most trusted by Tianque. He is an old man in the palace and an official residence, so he is the only one who can enter the palace to participate in the application.

"Since there is a slight ailment in the body, it is good to take care of yourself. A little delay is not a big deal."

Hanxuan's eyes seemed to be in the hands of a palace official, and his mouth was constantly adjusting, but his ears were meticulous, listening carefully to the words in the palace.

"Your servant obeys the order. It's just..."

"You are a retainer, but it doesn't matter."

"Cold and heat are impermanent, and there is nothing to blame for the occasional wind and cold. But..." Uncle Yue hesitated, "The ears and eyes will report. Although he intends to hide and hide, he can still detect it. There are other servants who have already entered the capital. I don't know." Why."

"Where did you go?"

"The subject is incompetent. As soon as he entered the city gate, the man took advantage of the chaos and left without a trace."

The two were silent for a long time, only the sound of dishes in the hall could be heard.

"He is also a retainer. The current situation is unstable. It is understandable to take precautions. You go."

After saying that, I heard Uncle Yue come out of the palace, and Tianque also pushed the door, and came in stride.The hall is properly arranged, Han Xuan raised his hands lightly, and the palace people retreated to the corner.

Tianque seems to be uninterested, and the meals are all lightly tasted.Seeing this, Hanxuan only served diligently and did not dare to speak too much.

"The last time the Xi family was assassinated, in the end it disappeared without a trace."

Although Tian Que spoke lightly, Han Xuan had to pay more attention, but he respectfully said: "This subject is incompetent."

"I have thought over and over again, and I just feel that I can't just sit and wait for death. I am afraid that there will be no shortage of close guards in the palace. I should do a selection again to ensure safety."

"Fortification and garrison are not the responsibility of the ministers..."

"I'm thinking about it. The soldiers and Cao are all old men, and they once fought against me. I'm afraid they have different intentions. The Xingcao soldiers have never been involved in military affairs, but they can be used. Let's punish Cao Jili and stop doing it."

"Yes." Hanxuan couldn't help Nuo Nuo, but he was focused on the rumors just now, hesitated again and again, but couldn't bear to speak, "I heard that Si Chengping is restless?"

Hearing this, Tianque raised his eyes to look at Han Xuan, only to make Han Xuan sweat slightly: "Since you heard it, tell me about it."

"Just like what I said back then, this person is volatile and cunning. You should not take it lightly. Your Majesty should be wary of it."

Tianque was silent, his eyes were as deep as the sea, unfathomable.Han Xuan couldn't help but slander, not knowing how to respond.

"Han Xuan, I have known him for more than ten years, so I have my own importance."

In this way, Hanxuan stopped discussing the matter, and only talked about the arrangement of Tianque's birthday ceremony: "In order to celebrate His Majesty's longevity, all the congratulatory gifts from all families have been sent to the inner court. May Your Majesty want to have a look?"

"You have a very good vision, you only pick the good ones to say."

"The pair of glazed autumn smoke cups presented by Concubine Yun are exquisite and transparent, slightly covered with soft mist, and in the haze, there is even more brilliance and brilliance, which is really rare."

"Then use it in the palace."

Han Xuan turned around to go, thinking that he moved too fast, his eyes went dark, his stomach was overwhelmed, and his mind was spinning.Fortunately, in a panic, he held on to the door of the temple beside him, leaned on it for a long time, and then recovered his mind as usual.

Seeing this, Tianque was naturally concerned, stood up to help Hanxuan, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Han Xuan's face was pale, but he shook his head slightly: "I'm fine."

Tian Que was worried, and raised his voice: "Xi Jian, you should immediately pass the imperial doctor to the chief palace secretary."

Hanxuan was unable to deal with it, so he saw Dexi and helped him away.

Landian Qianqiu Festival is called Wanshou Cup.

On Tianque's birthday, in the inner confinement, there is only one day of performances and feasts.Heavenly osmanthus is fragrant, royal flowers are clustered, chime tubes are condensed in autumn, and pearl pouches contain dew.During the banquet, the egrets are dressed in orchid clothes and jade pendants, and the emerald clouds in the hall are covered with fragrant mist.

The auspicious color is coming, and the palace is full of pearls in autumn.Tian Que was born on August 21st, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was originally full of autumn fragrance, but when it was a good day, there was a trace of melancholy that lingered in Hanxuan's heart.

Ren Anzhi's birthday is August nineteenth.The night of August [-] every year is so hard.Only for the louder in the middle of the night, the first to send his greetings lightly.But every year, it's just thanks in accordance with the etiquette, and there is no tenderness.

Recalling that young man, that blue sea and ice wheel, with a clear glow like snow, it was so sad that I couldn't bear it again.

There is a banquet in the Purple Palace, and there is a banquet in the court.The jade shoots are tapped lightly, and the wine is passed on in a cup.Hanxuan, with strict makeup and auspicious attire, restrained his face and held his body, stood under the seat, and saw Fang Cong Luoqi, who was sitting in the golden crown of Tianque court clothes after Fang Cong Luoqi.Among the twelve jade pockets, I couldn't see the sorrow and joy clearly.

Tian Ruo rarely dresses according to the quality, a body of rouge, beautiful and fresh.There is no longer just a peony in the hair. Today, there is a purple crown of Yao, Huang and Wei, which is very luxurious.Because it is the emperor's birthday, Suian can only attend the courtiers, not sit with Tianruo.On Tianruo's side was Lan Ze, and next to him was Liang Xun, followed by a group of family members and ministers.

Lan Ze has experienced many occasions, and he is still able to deal with it freely, but Tian Ruo lives in seclusion, and after a few cups of good wine, he is no longer strong enough to drink, so he changed his clothes on the pretext of leaving the Yaozhuo Palace.

In order to avoid the crowd, Tian Ruo went out from Yaozhuo Palace by the side door and went west along the small path.Yaozhuo Palace is a place for discussing government affairs, the terrain is not high, it is convenient for courtiers to come and go, and further down, there are only scattered pavilions, terraces and pavilions, sparsely scattered.If the sky is carrying Xiao Xiao, Xin walks there, only to see the autumn mountains seem to be dyed, the phoenix trees and golden wells, the frosty leaves dance wildly, the sky is miserable and the clouds are high.

Suddenly there is the sound of bells and drums, and the distance is low, accompanied by the rustling autumn wind, faintly coming.

Tian Ruo stopped and listened carefully for a while, then smiled and said, "Do you still remember this sound?"

"It seems to come from Yitian Pavilion? It's just the middle of the day, where are the bells and drums?" Lu Xiao said.

"This is the voice of loose studies in the Hongwen Museum." Tianruo walked up and walked, "When I was an orphan, my father and the king had not yet been entrusted, and I lived in the palace with my parents. All children from aristocratic families can enter the Hongwen Museum to receive education. Twenty years in a hurry, It's like a white horse passing through the gap. Hearing this sound again, the past is vivid in my mind, but time changes, things change, people change, and there is nothing to worry about."

Seeing Tian Ruo touching the scenery, Lu Xiao said: "I remember, among all the ladies from famous families, the princess is very close to Ji Lihong."

"At that time, he was young. Among all the people, he was the only one who was dignified and dignified, without showing a little bit of arrogance, so he speculated. Even my mother's favorite song "Flying Immortals and Jade" was taught to him." Tian Ruo Sighing softly, "It's just a separation of twenty years, the two of them are already married, and the past cannot be recalled."

"Although Ji Li is Wei Rang's main wife now, there are mixed fish and dragons in the house, and there are constant disputes. After all, the princess is more blessed."

Tian Ruo was silent for a long time: "Like a person drinking water, he knows whether he is warm or not."

When Lao Xiao heard the words, she knew she had made a mistake, so she had to keep silent.

"That's all." Tian Ruo said, "follow this road, pass the bamboo forest, and you will find the Hongwen Museum. Come back to the old place, and you can accompany Gu to see it."

Luo Xiao nodded, and just followed the sky, stepping on the ground covered with yellow leaves and green moss.

After a short walk, you can see a small courtyard behind the bamboo, lying in the autumn mountains.If the sky is full of interest, regardless of the jewels and emeralds in court clothes, he will go ahead.

The autumn sun is like gold, coming through the forest gap, leaving mottled light and shadow all over the ground.

During Tianruo's trek, he saw that he was about to enter the Hongwen Museum, but he heard someone chewing on Zhenghan Palace, a general trader and Liuyu, coming through the forest with a faint sound.

Hearing the sound of the flute, if the sky stopped, he only frowned and listened carefully to where it came from.

It was clearly the song "A Thousand Miles of Lonely Clouds".

Tian Ruo frowned at the thick clouds, and immediately turned around to look for them. Not far away, he heard the sound of flying arrows piercing the sky.Looking back, I saw several fire arrows falling on the green tiles of the Hongwen Hall. In an instant, the Hongwen Hall was burned into a sea of ​​flames.

But Tianruo and the two of them stood tens of paces away in a daze with their souls scattered.
