Chapter 536: The Finale
The ancient emperors' desire for life was beyond ordinary people, because they had supreme power and status, and they were reluctant to abandon all this prematurely.
Yuan Tiangang believes that although the emperor is weak, he is blessed and prosperous, and his life span must be above that of the first emperor, and the queen's physique is outstanding, and she was personally recuperated by Yuan Ziyan in her early years, plus the family has longevity genes, she will live a long life.
The emperor was relieved, and Yuan Ziyan was also relieved, because in this way, Li Chunfeng could slowly find and screen a suitable mausoleum, and even put it off for a while and spend more time with his sick wife at home.
Yuan Tiangang politely refused the emperor's enthusiastic request to keep him as an official in the court, a person who is used to freedom and looks down on life and death will not be obsessed with power. The emperor was helpless, and she could only regret letting go.
As Wu Mei's power increased, she also did a series of things that were beneficial to the country's development. Heavy agriculture and mulberry, thin enslavement, vigorously develop the imperial examination, select real talents for the country, not the gate valve aristocrats, of course, also reused a group of poor people, become their own sworn friends.
Even Wu Mei likes to make characters, carries out character reform, invents the word Cong, and uses it as her new name, and abandons Wu Mei given by Taizong.
For the evaluation of later generations, there are mixed reviews, and the negative side believes that she is the source of the decline of the Tang Dynasty, a sinner through the ages, etc., and more is a voice of praise, praising her for being comparable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the master of women.
Yuan Ziyan is not obsessed with this, he is responsible for his life, just waiting for future generations to evaluate, if he really wants to evaluate, in fact, just look at one number, that is, the population of the Tang Dynasty has grown at a relatively fast rate, and Wu Zetian's reign has risen from the original 3.8 million households to 6.1 million households, and the population is wealth, which can prove everything.
On this day, Li Chunfeng rushed to find Yuan Ziyan, saying that the master had found an excellent place for feng shui, and asked her to hurry over and take a look.
Yuan Ziyan was full of interest and rushed there immediately. Located in Guanzhong, Yuan Tiangang did not take the two of them to go during the day, and only came out to watch the celestial phenomena at night.
"Purple smoke, look at that place!" Yuan Tiangang pointed to the high ground. Said with a little excitement.
Yuan Ziyan followed his father's gesture and looked, only to see that above the mountains, the purple qi was soaring into the sky, and at this time, the Big Dipper was shining, and the purple qi on the ground skillfully intersected. Breathtaking.
"Wonderful, I'm afraid it's hard to find in the world!" Li Chunfeng was afraid that the purple qi would disappear, so he ran up the mountain with his official robe, chose a good position, and put down a copper coin as a mark, and then came down the mountain.
"Father, junior brother, although this place is good, it can't be hastily defined. I suggest waiting for an auspicious day of the zodiac, when the sun is shining. I took the two of you on a tour of the sky, looking at the place from different angles, and then determining the final location based on the vision of the night. ”
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng both nodded yes, since they are not in a hurry, then make adequate preparations, and it will be like the imperial court will return to life in the future.
The nearest auspicious day of the zodiac was also a month later, and the three of them waited patiently until this day came, and it was a sunny and rare good weather. Yuan Ziyan supported his father with one hand, and pulled his junior brother with the other, and rose into the air, taking in the land of Qinchuan. The scenery is infinitely good.
The three of them carefully observed from the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and it was indeed a place where the aura was compelling, and it was an excellent treasure of feng shui that was difficult to find in the ages, and it was no wonder that it had raised several generations of excellent emperors.
"Senior sister, look!" Due to excitement, Li Chunfeng's voice became a little sharp.
It's just that. When Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Ziyan both looked down, they secretly sighed that the creation of heaven and earth was wonderful. Looking from south to north, the rolling mountains look like a plump young woman sleeping in the blue sky and white clouds, her eyebrows are clear, and even her slender eyelashes are vivid.
"Senior brother, don't you think this is very much like the queen?" Yuan Ziyan asked with a smile.
Li Chunfeng nodded, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, sure enough, she is a strange woman, and she can have the ability to call the wind and rain. If you look closely, not only the facial features are clear, the figure is graceful, the lines are smooth, the chest is high, the lower abdomen is flat, and even the navel can be seen clearly.
What's even more amazing is that the young woman's legs are slightly apart, and a clear spring flows endlessly!
Wonderful! Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were very excited, and Yuan Ziyan also decided that this was the place they wanted, so they used their figure as the meridian, rubble to make gossip, and finally pulled out one of their own bead hairpins, and the three of them slowly fell, and inserted the bead hairpin into the soil under their feet.
After Yuan Ziyan went back, she was naturally full of praise for this feng shui treasure, and Wu Mei was also itchy when she heard it, and she couldn't wait to come and see it for herself. I heard that there was a copper coin of Li Chunfeng in the same direction on the mountain, and a pearl hairpin of the national teacher as a mark, so I sent someone up the mountain to review the situation of the auspicious land, in fact, it was also an on-site investigation and preparations for the excavation of the mausoleum.
And the feedback is exciting, Li Zhi and Wu Mei's hearts are full of joy, because the copper coin before Li Chunfeng was buried by dust, and when Yuan Ziyan's pearl hairpin was pulled out, there was that copper coin on it!
Qian is the sky for the yang, Kun is the earth for the yin, the terrain should be in line with the yin and yang, the most wonderful perfect combination of heaven and earth, how can the emperor not be happy? The ancients not only demanded to enjoy wealth while alive, but also hoped for eternal life for the soul after death, and this expectation knew no borders and races, but the emperor had more economic conditions to pursue it.
Due to the proper arrangement, high efficiency, and sufficient funds, the construction of the mausoleum did not take too long, Li Zhi and Wu Mei were buried here, and became the only mausoleum in the Tang Dynasty that was not stolen, and was named Qianling.
Li Zhi has been in power for a long time, a total of 32 years, and Wu Zetian was almost sixty years old at that time, Li Zhi loved his daughter-in-law right, maybe he didn't expect his daughter-in-law to be so old and still be able to control the court.
During this period, Wu Mei also tried her best to exaggerate her status and existence, and Li Zhi changed more than a dozen country names in the more than 30 years of his reign, of course, Wu Mei basically decided in the later period.
Seven years after Li Zhi's death, Wu Mei ascended the throne and became the oldest emperor in the history of our country, reigning for a total of 16 years, and also one of the longest-lived emperors in our country.
Maybe our descendants should focus on it, Wu Zetian is the only female emperor, and in the boring records of history, people have a sense of brightness.
And Wu Zetian's seemingly brilliant life, the price is actually very heavy, he lost his beloved husband twice, a princess who died for himself, and two sons who died against him, maybe in the end, Wu Zetian found that he had nothing left, nothing more than a shell about to decay. After becoming the emperor, Wu Zetian often had nightmares, dreaming that the queen cursed her and was unfaithful to her, and when he suffered from the rebellion of his children, Wu Zetian, who was unbearable, finally chose to move the capital to Luoyang and changed it to the divine capital, the purpose of which was to meet Yuan Ziyan who settled here often.
After Yuan Ziyan became the queen of Wu Zetian, she began to fade out of people's field of vision, and when Wu Zetian accompanied Li Zhitai to return from Fengchan, he proposed to bid farewell to the palace. The emperor and queen naturally tried hard to persuade her, but to no avail.
After leaving the palace, Yuan Ziyan naturally chose to stay in Mochiyue Villa, and lived a happy and simple life, but people could not compete with nature, her good sister Chu Ling'er, her bosom friend Li Shan, Li Tao and Cheng Yanjin and others passed away one after another, and the huge villa belonged to Li Ke.
Yuan Ziyan felt lonely and helpless, but when she turned around, she found that her junior brother had been following her, and Yuan Ziyan realized that after a lifetime of ups and downs, true love turned out to be by her side.
"Senior sister, I already know that you are not from this era, and for so many years, I have been seeking a way home for you, and there will be results soon." Li Chunfeng said happily.
"I'm gone, so what are you going to do?" Yuan Ziyan asked lightly.
"If there is an afterlife, I will still be with me." Li Chunfeng said affectionately.
"If that's the case, remember to tell me in advance, don't wait for me to get old and only then do I know that there is such a person around me." Yuan Ziyan smiled.
"Okay."
Yuan Ziyan put his hand in Li Chunfeng's palm, they politely refused Li Ke's retention, and resolutely decided to return to the old mansion of the Yuan Mansion, because this was the place where Yuan Ziyan saw the little junior brother for the first time. At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he was arguing with his master for himself, and the past seemed to be in front of him, and so much time had passed.
Yuan Tiangang traveled all over the world and achieved himself, while Li Chunfeng spent his life studying the way home for Yuan Ziyan. When Li Chunfeng ran out of energy and closed his eyes, Yuan Ziyan was unencumbered, but a long tunnel appeared in front of him, and he could see that one end, which was the familiar scenery of his hometown.
Looking back at everything here again, Yuan Ziyan couldn't say sad or happy, and slowly walked towards the time tunnel. There is no need for spells, no need to run, it turns out that you can't rush home in a hurry.
Scenes were replayed in front of him, and the familiar smiling faces flew by, Yuan Ziyan tentatively reached out and touched it, but he couldn't keep anyone, and he couldn't go back to the past.
Suddenly, the body seemed to be attracted by time and space, Yuan Ziyan involuntarily lost in time and space, it seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed to be just an instant, when Yuan Ziyan opened his eyes, the spring was bright, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and there was a leather hat in front of him, and he was still sitting in the corner of Daming Lake Park waiting for a big customer.
When the security guard saw Yuan Ziyan, several people ran towards her, Yuan Ziyan's first reaction was to escape, and then stopped after running a few steps. There is no one who tells the fortune, and he doesn't make a penny, what are you afraid of!
waited for the security guards to approach Yuan Ziyan, but no one dared to step forward and scold her, because the little girl in front of her seemed to be young, but she did not move, her face was full of majesty, domineering and leaking, and she could not be violated.
"Don't set up a stall here in the future, don't you hear!" One of the security guards had the courage to say something, and then muttered away.
Yuan Ziyan bent down to pick up his fur hat, and took a firm step to rush to Grandpa's house, Grandpa's 100th birthday is coming, what gift to give is not the most important thing, but to see him more and accompany him more.
Later, Yuan Ziyan inherited all the legacies of his grandfather, and was on the list of the world's richest people with his precise vision and full courage. Successful beautiful women will always receive a lot of attention, and there are many outstanding people around Yuan Ziyan, but she chose to marry her financial director, a young man who is gentle and pure, because, in him, Yuan Ziyan sees a long-term shadow.
