Chapter 240: Three Corpses Turned into Dao
The breeze is warm, the sun is slightly warm, and a few peach blossoms are leaning out of the red wall and are lazily nestled in the sun, like a kitten sleeping lazily. The pepper powder on the palace wall is newly brushed, and the peach blossoms are also newly opened, but a few days ago a spring rain was dripping, and the wall was a little mottled, and the peach blossoms competed for the buds and danced on the trees.
On the blue rock-paved avenue, there are some wet water stains, because the dew from last night has not been dried by the sun. At this time, a young woman in a brocade dress passed by the palace road full of concern. Neither the blooming peach blossoms nor the dazzling spring light made her eyes stay for more than half a step, and she just wanted to escape, escape from the biggest cage in Kyoto.
In the eyes of everyone, the safest palace in Chang'an City, but in her heart, it is the coldest and most ruthless prison in the world, the cold palace.
I haven't heard her name mentioned for a long time, and the former Si Yueyue has long been buried in the Huai River with time. And she, in this cold palace wall, has no friends, the only confidant in the past, has become the king who needs her to look up and be high.
Many people think of her as a canary, with a beautiful appearance, and should be kept in a cage as a plaything for people to admire. But she was just an ordinary finch, her wings were not so hard, she didn't need to climb the high branches, she just wanted to follow the sun, smell the flowers, and rejoice in the field.
Leaving the palace as if fleeing, Tera Yueyue saw the carriage waiting for her outside the city walls for a long time.
"Temple concubine Niangniang, the ministers have been waiting for Niangniang here for a long time on the orders of His Majesty. "Soldiers in gray armor fell to their knees neatly.
Si Yueyue hates such a title, and hates such a battle. Because of these scenes, these words, she lived under the back of the man wearing the dragon crown all the time. Let her not even dare to breathe loudly in this deep palace, for fear of disturbing the Son of Heaven. She didn't look back, and there was no trace of nostalgia in her heart, and she stepped directly into the carriage.
In the palace, hundreds of civil and military officials stood neatly in the main hall. Zhao Qin, who was wearing a dragon robe on the dragon chair, gently twisted his brow with his fingers, and then opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the nobles of the temple have left the palace. The eunuch standing in front of the palace reported in a thin voice.
A sneer and self-deprecation flashed under the corner of Zhao Qin's eyes, couldn't he imagine that he was in his current situation, couldn't even a dusty woman be saved? Zhao Qin beckoned lightly, signaling the eunuch who was passing the word to come forward and listen to the order.
"Let the people of the Longyun Department take action, make it a road bandit to intercept and kill, and bury the temple concubine. Zhao Qin waved his hand, and the eunuch lowered his head and stepped aside, walking out of the main hall.
"Your Majesty, our army and the enemy Qin have been fighting for several months in Wangjiang Mansion, and they have been unable to attack for a long time and have suffered heavy losses. General Zheng played and asked the emperor to send troops to support. A middle-aged man in court clothes knelt on the ground and said loudly.
"Ahem cough ......" The weather has been abnormal recently, and this son of heaven is infected with wind chill, and the dragon body is sick.
"King Zhao, the remnants of the Qin State are making waves, which is against the heavens. Ask King Zhao to send 3,000 troops and horses, and Jingyun Si will send Wu Yan Daoyou of the Purple Thunder Sect to sit in the town. What's so difficult about the land of Wangjiang Mansion?" Zhao Qin had not yet spoken, when a Taoist wearing a crane and holding a dusty hand stepped forward and said.
Zhao Qin tidied up his clothes, got up and said, "Thank you Yu Zhenren." Zhao Qin then looked at one of His Royal Highness's generals and ordered: "Cui Xinwu, you send three thousand iron armor to Wangjiang Mansion, and listen to the order of Wu Yanxian of the Purple Thunder Sect, and you will definitely take Wangjiang Mansion for me." ”
Cui Xinwu stepped forward to receive the order and dispatched his own troops.
Another person stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Yao Bi's old man robbed migrant workers and girls in many places in Lizhou, built dojos, and repaired brothels and restaurants. The minister heard that this person colluded with evil demons, and those demons sucked people's souls and seduced people's spirits. When the man said this, he couldn't help but sigh and wipe his tears: "A few days ago, even the secret agent we investigated was hooked by the evil demon under this person, and the minister also asked Your Majesty to call the shots!"
Zhao Qin said angrily: "What a Yao Bi, I remembered him as an official in two dynasties, and I couldn't bear it, so I left him alive." I can't imagine that this person would do such a bad thing and do something that is unconscionable. Zhao Qin shouted: "Come on, go to Yilin and call Yao Bi over, I want to see what he wants to do?"
Long Yan was furious, and the hall was silent for a while. This young emperor acted ruthlessly and prestigiously, and no one dared to speak out at the moment.
There was finally a sneer from the main hall, and everyone didn't dare to look up, only to see that it was the Taoist from the Jingyun Division who was laughing before. The Dao man's face turned grim, and he said coldly: "Your Highness, haven't you found enough people to build the Lushan Dao Academy?"
Zhao Qin has been dazed by the war these days, and he really hasn't noticed it. This Lushan Daoist Academy was built for some immortals in the Eastern Earth Cultivation Realm to live, and he didn't dare to slack off. Zhao Qin looked at Gao Lingxi, who was in charge of this matter, a trace of displeasure flashed between his eyebrows, but he couldn't bear to embarrass this childhood companion, and sighed and said, "Lord Gao, what good deeds have you done?"
Gao Lingxi hurriedly knelt on the ground, and was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty." If it weren't for the fact that someone missed work some time ago, I would have found enough people a long time ago. The minister now immediately ordered people to start building the Lushan Taoist Temple. ”
The Taoist smiled coldly and said, "Master Gao, did you miss work?" This matter is related to the residence and travel of many seniors, and Poor Dao also specially asked Rong Chunhua Daoist of Qianyu Gate to help you, is there still a problem?" He looked arrogant, his voice was cold, and Gao Lingxi was speechless.
Zhao Qin knew that this friend usually didn't tell lies, so he must have really encountered some trouble, so he postponed his work. Zhao Qin opened his mouth and said, "Lord Gao, what happened to you?"
Gao Lingxi's face was embarrassed, it was not that he didn't want to say it, but he saw that this immortal of Jingyun Division didn't know about it, which showed that the Rong Chunhua Daoist of Qianyu Sect deliberately concealed it from Jingyun Division. But at this moment, Gao Lingxi didn't dare to deceive the emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is a cultivator in Yezi Village outside Chang'an City. ”
Gao Lingxi didn't dare to say that the cultivators of Yezi Village scared Rong Chunhua away, but the Taoist of Jingyun Division and Zhao Qin were not fools, and they could hear the meaning.
Zhao Qin sighed and said, "Daoist Yu, I think there is a master there." Gao Daren has now arranged enough manpower, and the construction of the Lushan Taoist Academy can start on the same day. ”
Yu Shenxiu nodded lightly, no longer embarrassed Gao Lingxi. It's just that he wondered in his heart: "Could it be that the demon cultivator is doing something here?" "315 Chinese Net
Zhao Qin was a little tired, and when he saw that no one was playing, he said, "If you have nothing to play, please step down." ”
Everyone was about to leave, when they suddenly heard a loud voice and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are 2,000 people in the Longyun Department guarding Qishan who have disappeared inexplicably. This matter is full of strangeness, and I ask Your Majesty to decide. ”
Zhao Qin frowned and looked at Yu Shenxiu.
Yu Shenxiu arched his hand and said: "Alas, this matter is not deliberately concealed from Your Majesty. There is something strange in Qishan, but the thousand sergeants have not yet determined that they are really dead, and they ask Your Majesty to give Poor Dao some time to investigate well. ”
Zhao Qin nodded, with boredom in his words, and said, "Retreat from the court, I'm tired." ”
"Hooray, hooray, hurrah......"
Zhao Qin changed into a relaxed robe, and took the fragrant tea brought by the maid Hongyu in his hand. After taking a sip and feeling a bit of bitterness, Zhao Qin couldn't help but speak: "Hongyu, are you used to being here?"
Hongyu looked at Zhao Qin in front of her, with a hint of majesty and a little less peace. She shook her head slightly, her eyes colliding with Zhao Qin's gaze. For some reason, Zhao Qin's gaze was not as big as before, and he was now the king of a country.
Zhao Qin smiled and said, "Let Lao Han prepare the car, and you can go back to the palace with me." ”
Stepping on last year's autumn leaves, Zhao Qin smiled. The tranquility here blossomed into a flower on the shore of the lake in his heart. The Ninety-Five Supreme Position, which others want to obtain in every possible way, is not as important and happier in his heart as the heartless son.
Gently pushing aside the vines blocking the door, Zhao Qin slowly stepped into the small garden. There was a loess grave next to the dry well, and Zhao Qin squatted slowly and sat by the well.
"You've succeeded, but life is so sad that you can't see it. My father died, and so did Zhao Qin. Zhao Qin smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.
In the small garden, Lin Jing is quiet, and people are silent. Zhao Qin only stayed here for a quarter of an hour, and he returned to the palace of Chang'an City with red eyes, and came to the imperial tomb where the tombstone of Shangguan Chaoyu was standing.
Zhao Qin couldn't hold back his tears anymore, he looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, wanting to say something, his throat choked and twitched.
"Chaoyu, do you remember? You promised me that you would accompany me for the rest of my life. Zhao Qin touched the tombstone with his hand and couldn't help sobbing.
It was very young, and the story of the prince and the princess of the previous dynasty seems to have been buried in the loess by this cold Chang'an City.
"Xiao Yu'er, will you play with me every day in the future?" said the young prince, holding his waist with both hands, pretending to be bold. He just looked at her and was happy, and he pretended to be calm to hide the timidity in his heart.
"That's not good, I still have to learn to write and embroidery. At most, I'll play with you for a few days, but if I have more, I won't be able to. Shangguan Chaoyu looked embarrassed, and counted his free days with his fingers and said.
Zhao Qin thought for a while and said: "Then let you stay with me for four days, spring, summer, autumn and winter, you can't regret Xiaoyu'er." ”
Shangguan Chaoyu wrinkled his nose and snorted: "That's not good, I can only accompany you for three days at most." ”
Zhao Qin smiled, lightly nodded Shangguan Chaoyu's forehead, and said with a smile: "Okay, three days is three days, yesterday, today and tomorrow." ”
Shangguan Chaoyu glanced at Zhao Qin, but she was amused by him in her heart, she twisted her head and said, "That's not good, I still have to play with Xiao Haizi and Xiao Chunzi." ”
Zhao Qin stood in front of Shangguan Chaoyu and said with a smile: "Then two days, black sky and daytime." ”
Shangguan sneered at the rain, turned around and left. She had never seen such a scoundrel, but it didn't annoy her.
Zhao Qin hurriedly ran over, stretched out his arm to stop the little princess, and said in a low voice: "Then one day?"
Shangguan Chaoyu smiled and said: "It's almost the same, it's not enough for you to be dishonest, if you bully me in the future, I won't play with you." ”
Zhao Qin said with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er, then you will be with me every day in the future." ”
......
Zhao Qin clenched his fists tightly and couldn't cry. Under the sunset, his back was gradually swallowed up by the high-walled attic in Chang'an City.
