Chapter 159: Yang Guang's Woman 2
Yang Guang issued an edict and generously praised his Yuan match: "Concubine Xiao, long-cherished training, women's Taoist cultivation, should be in the right position Xuanyu, style Hongroujiao, can be established as the queen." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The emperor's mouth is true, no matter where he goes, no matter what he does, he will bring Empress Xiao, although he sincerely favors whom, others do not know, but Yang Guang's superficial articles on Empress Xiao are still very beautiful. The clever Empress Xiao was also quite interesting, and she retreated step by step until she stepped aside. People are old and yellow, and their color is declining and relaxed, so why bother to move a vinegar jar to attract the emperor's greasy taste? Although Empress Xiao still bows her head and serves Yang Guang, her state of mind is not as good as before.
The crisis of feelings is just lurking under this polite attitude, and the two no longer have a heart-to-heart, and they are not even interested in quarreling. Speak to look at the face, words to find the size, even if you sleep in a bed, it is just barely maintaining.
Empress Xiao acquiesced to this state of affairs with a gorgeous crown, and the emperor indulged in pleasures and rejoiced in his achievements, squandering all the money saved by Emperor Wen of Sui; the government was extorting and extorting, and the people were thieves; the army on the expedition to Goryeo and the migrant workers digging the canal died in wailing every day, and the magnificent edifice of the Sui Dynasty was crumbling and could collapse at any time.
Empress Xiao watched the changes in the government and the opposition in fear, and she really couldn't intervene, she couldn't hold it back, so she persuaded her in a roundabout way. Unfortunately, the emperor couldn't listen, and he was like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, and he got into the Jiangdu Palace. Since the world is out of control, they simply make a big show, ignore state affairs, do not care about good and evil, and only care about destructive pleasures.
There was a fire outside the palace, and he didn't bother to answer, he believed whatever the ministers said, and he even told Queen Xiao: "The noble and the lowly are bitter and happy, and they are changed from time to time." "It's the tone of a philosopher, he's become a drunken old bastard, why? Isn't it escapism, deceiving himself?
Yangzhou Mingyue, according to the worried Empress Xiao, she knew that the relationship between husband and wife could no longer bring back the emperor's broken kite. Yang Guang once took pity on himself and bragged to the queen: "Good head and neck, who will cut it?"
With a dead pig's face that is not afraid of boiling water, Empress Xiao had to throw away the last trace of fantasy and accompany the emperor who was happy in time to wade through this muddy water.
Empress Xiao's heart is painful, someone told her that there is about to rebel outside the palace, please tell the queen what to do? Xiao waved his hand and said with a sigh: "The world has come to this point, the general trend has gone, and there is no cure. Saying anything is just to increase the emperor's troubles, and it can be counted as a day if you can mix it up for a day. ”
There is a famous poem "Gong Hou Yin", in which the wife mourns her stubborn and willful husband who fell into the water and died: "Tell you not to cross the river, you want to cross the river, fall into the river and die, what about Dangnai?" Although Yang Guang's self-proclaimed good head and neck were cut off, he was strangled to death by a traitor with a trouser belt.
Empress Xiao collected the body in person, and she had nothing at hand, so she could only dismantle a few bed boards and hastily put together a thin coffin. Fifty-year-old Yang Guang fell to the ground, he once held Xiao affectionately, willing to hold his son's hand and grow old with his son. They have supported each other for twenty-three years of hard life, and they used to look at each other and smile, guarding the happy children. The wealth of the world has become a cloud of smoke, and the former pillow man died like a flower child, grievances and grievances, that's it?
The newly powerful courtier Yu Wenhua looked at this female prisoner of war from head to toe, the main palace lady of the Great Sui, a man in the world, who is not fascinated? Yu Wenhua smiled meaningfully.
It's a pity that once a beautiful female prisoner of war falls into the hands of a man, she is no longer a person, but a belongings to be pushed around, a fun-seeking plaything, or even a gadget, which is casually transferred. Emperor Yang of Sui is dead, so it doesn't matter if Empress Xiao is gone, the prisoner of war Xiao has a low neck and is silent, she will accept whatever God gives.
The victor occupied the six palaces, exactly the same as Emperor Yang of Sui during his lifetime, the situation of the Xiao family can be imagined, what else can the captives do?
It is often said that men are forty-one flowers, and women begin to decline when they reach this age, and from the age of twenty-eight years, more than ten years can consume more than half of their youth. The only exception is a very peculiar woman, Cleopatra, who, after giving birth, still fascinates the two Roman heroes, Cizewa and Antony. Xiao is this kind of strange woman, entering middle age, still dignified and handsome. Yu Wenhua obtained the illusion of the emperor from this great beauty, and he actually ran to Wei County and became the emperor behind closed doors.
The emperor is always the jackpot in the world, unless he is strong enough, whoever covets it will be beaten. Yu Wenhua's arrogant behavior immediately attracted a catastrophe, and Dou Jiande, who was competing for the jackpot, came to the door. Dou Jiande is the leader of the peasant rebel army, and now he is strong and strong, and his waist is very thick. He proclaimed himself the King of Great Xia, and kept saying that he was avenging the dead Yang Guang. In the first battle of Liaocheng, Dou Jiande used a stone-throwing crash to attack the city on all sides, this kind of primitive earth cannon had strong lethality, and Liaocheng fell immediately.
Shaw once again faced the bad luck of being a captive, and this time she wanted to die, neither verbose nor crying, and waited for death with a blank face. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, and she met Dou Jiande, who was loyal to the Great Sui, and the victor was very courteous to her. Although she was not on the rope and was not imprisoned, Dou Jiande also respectfully gave her a great gift, Xiao was still not free, not so much that she was rescued, but that she was taken over, a vain former queen of the dynasty, what qualifications did she have to be pampered in the camp of the righteous army?
Dou Jiande occupied the Xiao family, and in Dou Jiande, the Xiao family seemed to be unhumiliated, which was the political need of the rebel army and was also restricted by the surrounding conditions. Dou Jiande was a decent person, and he had not yet degenerated to the point of occupying female prisoners; Dou Jiande was squatting beside a tigress, and his wife Cao Shi was almost inseparable and watched very closely; Xiao did not stay for a long time, and after about two or three months, he was picked up by the Turks.
Turkic, barbaric nonsense made the people of the Central Plains tremble. On the premise that there is no blood relationship, the son can inherit the woman's father's lineage, and the younger brother can marry the elder brother's wife and concubine. When vulgarity is at the head, women are more like animals.
The Turkic Princess Yicheng took the Xiao family from Dou Jiande. Twenty years ago, Yang Jian made this daughter of the clan a princess and married Qiming Khan. Later, when her husband died, Princess Yicheng remarried her sons, Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, and Jieli Khan. Judging from Yang Guang's seniority, Princess Yicheng has to call Xiao's sister-in-law, and the reunion of her sister-in-law can be regarded as having something to rely on.
Willingly or reluctantly, Xiao Shi just left involuntarily, a lonely widow in distress, without the right to choose, and where she was destined to push you, she would fall wherever she went. Anyone could guess that the women around the khan had to follow the Hu customs unconditionally, and the Xiao family and Princess Yicheng were included in the sleeping tent of the Chuluo Khan. Later, when Luo Khan died, the two sisters-in-law naturally married his younger brother Jieli Khan.
The Xiao family has long broken off the idea of returning to Chang'an, since the country has been ruined, what is the meaning of the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River and the apricot blossoms in the Central Plains to themselves? It is better to live this life outside this barbaric plug. Fortunately, there is also a little grandson Yang Zhengdao as a companion, and Yang Men's blood and bones are her last bit of comfort.
Once upon a time, in Chang'an City and under the moon in Jiangdu, the radiant national woman had been exiled by fate. With the rise and fall of the Turks, this body still has the charm of wandering in the grassland pastures and desert wild winds.
There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and it is difficult for future generations to bear it, and Xiao, who is a young man, returns to Chang'an with tears. At this time, the Turks were defeated, Princess Yicheng died, Jieli Khan was captured, and it stands to reason that Xiao is still a prisoner of war, but her special identity actually won the courtesy of the Tang Dynasty. What's even more unexpected is that after returning to the Tang Dynasty, she actually swept Li Shimin into the whirlpool of right and wrong.
When Xiao returned, Li Shimin gave enough face. First, the two families are close to each other, Yang Guang is Li Shimin's cousin, Li Shimin also married Yang Guang's daughter Concubine Yang, from where to say, the Xiao family is also an elder. Li Shimin's think tank, Xiao Yu, is the younger brother of the Xiao family, so what is wrong with giving his courtiers a big face? Li Tang is very willing to support this former empress.
The literati in the market are more willing to say cool things about this, and Li Shimin held a feast to catch the wind for the Xiao family. According to the standards of the Zhenguan era, that kind of specification even the emperor felt a little extravagant, Li Shimin asked Xiao Shi with a smile: "Do you think the pomp in front of you is better than the Sui Palace?"
This grade can not be compared with the Sui Palace at all, the night banquet of that year, there were hundreds of huge night pearls hanging under the corridor; dozens of bonfires in front of the palace were piled up, and all the best sandalwood was burned, and it is said that 200 carts of sandalwood were burned every night.
Xiao replied quietly: "Your Majesty is the king of the country, how can he be compared with the king of the dead country?" This sentence of Zhenguan Tianzi is very useful, so Li Shimin treats this noble lady who has experienced many vicissitudes of life even more.
It is said that Li Shimin admired the Xiao family and once openly accepted him as a concubine and named Zhaorong. First of all, with the civilized wind of the Tang Dynasty, even if Li Shimin marries the Xiao family, it is not a big deal, he even wants the wife of his brother Li Jiancheng, not to mention the abolition of the previous dynasty?
Assuming that he really accepted the Xiao family as Zhaorong, he would never say a word, what age did the Xiao family return to the Tang Dynasty? A full sixty years old. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had just been established, wanted a woman who was not good, and he had to hook up with an old woman? At most, Li Shimin had admired the legendary Empress Xiao, and he hated to meet when he was not married, and that's all.
To tell the truth, what Xiao cares about most is Yang Guang, the most precious youth of the two people is tied together, twenty-three years, it is an unforgettable golden years. Now that the country is dead, the family is broken, the husband has been killed, and the children are gone.
The Xiao family in Chang'an City lived in a simple house and lived alone for 18 years. The white hair on the sideburns rose in the wind, and the shadow of the innocent era flashed over and over again in her cloudy eyes, and occasionally a desolate smile appeared on her lips.
Xiao was still thinking about her notorious husband and missing the days and nights when they were together, and finally she went away despite the queen's grief. Yangzhou buried a period of eternal romance and raised a bright moon.
