Chapter 765: Departure
That young man Wen can put pen to paper to settle the world, Wu Neng immediately determines the world, the light wind and the moon, bright and dazzling, like the brightest star in the royal family, worthy of his name, Xiao Wushuang.
He should be a good man who is unparalleled in the world, and he should have an unlimited future, but he has a father who respects his eldest and a brother who is suspicious of him.
His outstanding demeanor must not be tolerated in the world, and his outstanding military exploits can only be turned into wind and frost that destroy him.
Master Xi leaned on the pillar under the corridor with both hands, and the remorse of many years hit his heart again-
When the King of Qin was wronged, he and Song Wenru, as well as Yu Chunhui, who had long since passed away, the three of them just watched, and when the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty interceded for the King of Qin, they did not say a word and stood by.
Let such a good man who is unparalleled in the world be wronged and destroyed, until his family is ruined.
Many times, he was thinking that the three of them had a clear conscience all their lives, but they were sorry for this person.
And if Xiao Wushuang, the king of Qin, was left in the capital and served the court, then what kind of prosperous situation would this Great Qi have?
After a while, the spring flower branches under the corridor floated, and Taishi Xi, who was hanging his head, only saw a pair of black military boots appear on the ground in front of him.
Taishi Xi looked up along the edge of the dark cloak, and the person in front of him was smiling and saluting him:
"I haven't been to the Taishi's Mansion for many years, but the flowers in the Taishi's Mansion are still blooming so well, and the teacher's body looks healthy. β
Taishi Xi tried to keep his eyes open, trying to see the face of the person in front of him.
When he really saw the unparalleled but vicissitudes of life and his eyes that were still bright and smiling, he instantly lowered his head and returned the salute to King Qin tremblingly:
The prince laughed...... A lot of the flowers are withered, and I'm getting old......"
King Qin stepped forward to support Taishi Xi, just like the student who humbly came to ask for advice.
Without saying a word, Taishi Xi turned around and entered the study, and King Qin also followed.
The door of the study isolated the spring cold, and after the two of them sat down, Taishi Xi looked at King Qin for a long time, and sighed:
"Wushuang, have you ever resented the teacher over the years?"
King Qin smiled, just as he did back then:
"Fate dictates, no one complains, so many years have passed, and the teacher doesn't need to worry about the things of the year. β
There was a rush in Taishi Xi's eyes, and he didn't dare to look up at him anymore.
He didn't complain, but after he returned to Beijing, the former ministers no longer had the shame to see him.
Because everyone knows that they can't go back to the past.
The two were silent for a while before King Qin spoke:
"The student came to disturb today because he wanted to tell the Taishi one thing - the student heard that a few days ago, there was a dispute in the court over the choice of the person to escort Xihai to the Xihai, and it happened that the student was also going to leave Beijing for Jiangnan, so it was better to leave this matter to the student! I just don't know, can the teacher rest assured?"
Taishi Xi barely calmed down his emotions and said:
"You reassure me, I must be reassured, it's rare for you to be so magnanimous...... It's just that I'm really ashamed in my heart!"
"Taishi Xi doesn't have to think about it, and I don't want the courtiers to compete with my son for a long time - speaking of which, I'm about to travel far away, and I also implore Taishi Xi to take more care of Shaotang in the future, and I will rest assured. β
King Qin smiled.
Taishi Xi raised his head suddenly, the essence in his eyes flashed, and then he showed a wry smile.
One day, his students will come to make a deal with him.
The meaning of the king of Qin is to ensure that the deposed emperor will be escorted to the West Sea safely, and he must fully support his son.
is reasonable and reasonable, and he can't say a single word "no".
Xi Zeyan wanted to tell King Qin a lot, even if there was no such thing as the abolition of the emperor, he didn't have to open his mouth, he was loyal to the king of Great Qi.
But in King Qin's heart, he is an estranged person after all, only trading, no affection.
Taishi Xi hid the sadness and loss in his heart, got up and responded:
"The old minister is only loyal to the emperor of Daqi, and he has not changed until he dies, so the prince can rest assured. β
King Qin didn't look at the sadness of the Taishi, but he didn't want to talk to anyone in the capital like before.
He also stood up and thanked him:
"So, thank you so much. β
In the busy spring season, the emperor quit the dynasty for eight days.
This is rare among the emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty.
The officialdom of the entire capital was turned upside down by Yuan Zhaoxian and Gu Tianxiang.
In the past, Zhao Wensong, who was considered the most unsuccessful by the Zhao family, entered the Ministry of War, and the official became the squire of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Shizhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was mutually constrained, and the Ministry of Officials in charge of the transfer of officials was served by Zhao Wenting, the original prefect of Yongzhou.
Lai Quanchuan, the secretary of the military department who abused his power before, was directly thrown into the imperial prison, and by the way, his house was raided in the name of corruption and bribery.
The Ministry of Works, who was found to have embezzled huge amounts of silver during the construction of the Soul Calling Platform in the fourth year of Xihe, was also deposed, and there were countless officials who were demoted by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites.
The officials went around looking for help from the old ones, but everyone was already in danger, and no one cared about anyone, and the few who spoke were all closed-minded, with the same attitude as the emperor.
It wasn't until the whole court was almost cleaned up that the emperor's "illness" got better and returned to the court.
Looking at the new faces that appeared in the Tai Chi Hall, thinking that he would never have to see those people who didn't do anything serious and only knew that they were against him in the future, Xiao Shaotang's mood was very comfortable.
However, this refreshment and pleasure only continued until Taishi Xi re-mentioned the West Sea Wait.
"Emperor Qi, after all, Xihaihou is the emperor of Xihe and abolished, he has lived in the capital for a long time, and it is not good for the people's peace and stability, the old minister thinks that it should be allowed to go to the fiefdom as soon as possible, it is more secure, as for the escort candidates, the old minister listens to the emperor's arrangement!"
Taishi Xi has compromised with him?
had long been prepared that Taishi Xi might fight with him to the end and be angry for his fallen protΓ©gΓ©s, Xiao Shaotang was not a little surprised at this time, and he was puzzled.
If Taishi Xi was a man who saw the wind and steered the rudder, he didn't think he could still stand tall and not fall-
Xiao Shaotang suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as Taishi Xi's voice fell, Yuan Zhaoxian stood up:
"Your Majesty, King Qin is willing to go to the West Sea to escort the West Sea, and please ask the emperor for permission!"
King Qin!
Xiao Shaotang's heart felt like he had been hit by a heavy object, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.
After the New Year, although King Qin also mentioned leaving, he didn't take it seriously, he always had a glimmer of hope in his heart, but at this moment, he knew that his father was waiting for him here!
He probably thinks it's for his good, it's for him to solve problems, right?
Sure enough, nothing could stop him from leaving him behind.
Xiao Shaotang leaned heavily on the back of the dragon chair made of gold, looked at the high dome of the Taiji Hall, and sighed softly.
At this moment, he really felt extremely lonely.
"Since that's the case......"
He heard his helpless voice:
"I'm right. β
For a whole day, Xiao Shaotang soaked in the imperial study to make a review.
Bai Chenghuan took a nap, and he didn't see anyone else come back to the harem, and when he asked again, he didn't even eat lunch.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Bai Chenghuan leaned lazily on the soft pillow, puzzled.
There are four joys by the emperor's side, and all the emperor's affairs, Qiu Yue is always the first to know.
She told her that King Qin was about to replace Zhao Wensong to escort Xihai Hou to Xihai.
"I see. β
Bai Chenghuan instantly understood the sadness that Xiao Shaotang might have in his heart.
She got up and changed her clothes, and while ordering someone to pass the meal to the imperial dining room, she left the Huaqing Palace and went to the imperial study.
Xiao Shaotang's desk was piled high with a stack of folds, and he was holding a red pen to annotate without stopping.
Hearing Bai Chenghuan come in, he raised his head, the loneliness on his face made Bai Chenghuan feel distressed for a while, stepped forward and took the red pen from his hand and handed it to the little eunuch who was waiting for the pen and ink, and pulled him up:
"No matter how busy you are with government affairs, you have to eat on time, and you tell me to take good care of yourself all day long, why do you forget about yourself?"
Xiao Shaotang let her pull like a puppet, but his eyes couldn't help but be a little red:
"Huanhuan, you say, I just, am I so unworthy of him to stay? Why did he recognize me in the first place? Just for someone to avenge him, and then carry this shackle for him?"
"Isn't there still me and the child?"
Bai Chenghuan put the chopsticks in his hand, and his tone became more and more gentle:
"Children and parents are separated after all, you are already the emperor of a country, do you still want your father to watch you in the capital all the time? Have you not thought about your father's situation, will you be embarrassed, will your father's mood, will you be depressed?"
This is persuasion and reminder.
Xiao Shaotang seemed to be blocked by a cloud of weeds, and then he began to slowly dredge.
He had always wondered if his father would stay, but he never thought about whether his father would feel embarrassed and sad.
The son became the emperor, and the father was still a prince, although he was a father and son, he had become a monarch and minister.
This is also the reason why he did not let his father go to the court-
If the father salutes him, it is a violation of filial piety, and if the father does not bow to him, then the father does not keep the courtesy of the king.
No matter how you do it, it's a dilemma.
And this capital is just a sad place for my father.
Xiao Shaotang held the silver-covered ebony chopsticks in his hand, and suddenly remembered the lonely figure of his father under the city wall on the day he entered the capital.
"That's it, let him go, I still have you, but father, it's probably too lonely. β
Xiao Shaotang turned his head to Bai Chenghuan and said, the choked throat in his throat was swallowed by him.
Then he put his hand on Bai Chenghuan's lower abdomen, which could be seen a little, and said with a wry smile:
"Huanhuan, now that my father has left me, I am the only one left, one day, our children will grow up, and there will probably be only you by my side. β
"Well, whoever goes and who comes, I'm here. Tomorrow we will go to see our father, and when he is gone, we will not have to go. β
Xiao Shaotang thought about it and bowed his head:
"Yes, we said goodbye to my father earlier, lest anyone think you were going to see him offβhe doesn't have such a big face!"
Bai Chenghuan stretched out his hand to pick up vegetables for him, and he was not shocked.
When the abolished emperor Xiao Shaoyun left Beijing for the West Sea, it was already the tenth day of the second month.
At this time, it is already full of flowers, and Asakusa can have no horseshoe.
The wind in the capital finally gradually became less cold, and the spring breeze in the first year of Taifeng finally came from the south of the Yangtze River, gradually greening the fertile soil of the north.
On the official road outside the capital, Xiao Shaoyun and Wei Wan sat in the carriage, surrounded by Zhai Feng and the Imperial Forest Army, and in the distance, there was also the car of King Qin.
If it weren't for the different colors and systems of the carriage, it would be no different from the previous life when he traveled with Cheng Huan.
But the fate of this life has been turned upside down.
When it was time to set out, the city gate, which was illuminated by the morning sun, was still empty, and the person he wanted to see did not appear.
"Let's go, she's not going to see you off. β
Wei Wan watched him coldly from full of hope to complete disappointment, and it was rare to soften.
Xiao Shaoyun turned his head to look at him, and did not speak angrily again, but nodded calmly:
"I knew she wouldn't come, she was already the queen, and she shouldn't have come. β
He promised his mother that he would take good care of Cheng Huan for a lifetime, and he had already seen her have the best ending.
And the Cheng Huan who really loved him probably stayed in his previous life and could never have it again.
If you could do it all over again......
The carriage began to stagger, Xiao Shaoyun leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes, and felt sad in his heart.
It's already over, it's hard to recover, and time can't be turned back anymore.
Standing on the highest star-picking pavilion in the palace and looking to the west, you can't see anything.
In the middle is the houses of the capital, separated by the tall and majestic city walls, and separated by thousands of mountains and rivers in the world.
Bai Chenghuan couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, so he could only stand here, looking at the vast sky, as if he could see his figure in the distance.
I loved and hated, and in the end I was at a loss.
Xiao Shaotang stood in the imperial garden in the distance with her hands in her hands, looking at the figure looking at the west on the Star Picking Pavilion until she withdrew her gaze.
If that person would be a piece of sand in her heart for the rest of her life, he would like her to expose this sand like this.
Instead of wrapping it in a thick shell and polishing it over the years, it would be bad to turn that grain of sand into a pearl.
Xiao Shaotang looked down at the fold in his arms, thought about it, and hid his sleeves.
On the fold is Xiao Shaoyun's earnest words asking him to treat Cheng Huan well for the rest of his life.
Hmph, who does he think he is?
Xiao Shaotang snorted coldly in his heart with jealousy, and then walked towards the Star Picking Pavilion and greeted Bai Chenghuan, who was slowly walking down.
"Huanhuan, it's your birthday in a few days, how are you going to spend your first Qianqiu Festival?"
"I don't think much about it, and besides, isn't there no silver in the treasury? β
Since Bai Chenghuan knew his unbearable life experience, he had no enthusiasm for his birthday.
Xiao Shaotang did not follow:
"That's not possible, no matter how poor my emperor is, I can't wronged my own queen! Tell me, how do you want to live?"
Bai Chenghuan excused himself again, and saw that Xiao Shaotang was really iron-hearted, thought about it, and said:
"Then renovate Shangyang Palace, posthumously crown Empress Qiao, and have the right to celebrate my birthday, okay?"
Xiao Shaotang was puzzled by Bai Chenghuan's request, but he still agreed:
"No problem! Except for this?"
"Reward the Lady of the Kingdom of Yu and the Mansion of the Kingdom of Wei......"
"What about yourself?"
"I don't want anything. β
"How's that going to work!"
"Why can't it be?"
β¦β¦
The emperor and queen gradually disappeared in the harmonious spring light, and behind them, it was a new year of spring flowers, and the grass grew and the warbler flew.
The convoy escorting Xihaihou traveled for nearly 10 days and arrived at the bank of the great river in Nandu.
When he was about to cross the river by boat, a figure in a robe came from the dock from a distance and caught up with King Qin and Xiao Shaoyun and his party.
"Donor, please stay. β
