Chapter 124: The Liang Family Falls
The setting sun reflected the magnificent light, crossed the mountain temple, and shone into the imperial city. The glazed tiles reflect the brilliant colors, and the royal atmosphere is particularly solemn. Inside the palace walls, the palace maid carried the plate back and forth.
At the gate of Chenji Palace, Yin Li held on to the palace gate and squinted at the sunset on the horizon, her face was indifferent, and the palace maid did not dare to speak.
In the Queen's Palace, Liang Yuer was just crooked on the couch, looking so dead and silent.
After a few tactful turns, the blood-colored light shone into the imperial study, and several ministers just sat respectfully on their chairs, discussing the affairs of the generals. Qi Han frowned slightly, his face was worried, he just listened and listened, but he suddenly turned pale, covered his chest, held the table, and gasped for breath.
The ministers panicked and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with the Emperor?" The palace people were busy calling the imperial doctor, and in the middle of the chaos, Qi Han covered his chest, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell down.
After the imperial doctor came to see it, he wiped his cold sweat and said, "The emperor is in a hurry, and he is not in the way." β
Although he was relieved, all the ministers were also puzzled, how could the emperor be in a hurry when this was so good?
The sun set, Lu Chuxi was still quietly nesting on the circle chair, until the little master who was cleaning the yard called her, and saw that she was still quietly still, only to realize that she had already gone. The little master was so frightened that he was busy calling people, and the abbot and others came.
The abbot stood next to him for a long time and sighed: "Amitabha, Kyoto Chen Meng, let the past follow the wind." After that, the abbot asked someone to go down the mountain and invited a few women with diligent hands and feet, and parked Lu Chuxi neatly in the meditation room.
At night, firewood was set up in the wide area of Qixia Temple, Lu Chuxi lay peacefully on it, and the little monk holding torches around him quietly asked the abbot: "Abbot, you said that the imperial concubine Niangniang is about this, do we want to go back to the emperor, after all, we didn't say it when we were here, if we don't say it at this time, will weββ"
The abbot said lightly: "It's all empty, what is the difference between saying it and not saying it?" As he spoke, he took the torch from the little monk's hand and lit the wood on the shelf. The wood of the pine and cypress burned extremely vigorously when it was stained with fire, and in an instant, the firelight lit up half of the night sky......
The people in Beijing could see the fire of the ancient temple of Qixia, but they didn't know what it was. Qi Han woke up at night, his chest was tight, so he put on his clothes and walked around the palace with his entourage. When he walked to the moon viewing platform, he looked at the faint firelight in the distance, and asked the entourage behind, "What is that place?" β
The entourage recognized it for a long time and said, "It's probably Qixia Ancient Temple." β
Qi Han looked at the firelight, but he felt extremely cold, and he felt distressed for a while, like a needle prick, like a knife cutting. Qi Han held on, and unconsciously, he remembered Chu Xi's letter, "Farewell to the future in this life, Xiao Lang is a passerby," If you make such a decision, what did you do to make Xi'er so unwilling to face herself?
I don't know how I've survived these days. It's just that fortunately, when the palace people returned, they said that Chuxi had taken away the sycamore hairpin. Since he can't let go of this, Qi Han is convinced that Chu Xi still has him in his heart, he will definitely find her, and if he finds her, he will never let her go again, and he will never make her sad again.
Qi Han just stared at the little firelight in the distance, and he didn't know why he was so reluctant, until the firelight gradually went out after a long time, but his heart was churning with sadness, and he had nowhere to put it, so he could only hurriedly return to the dormitory. Although I wanted to go to bed early, I still watched the candle burn until only wax oil remained.
After Lin Wanwan left, he always felt uncomfortable, and the few embroideries he picked up when he went back were absentmindedly punctured his fingers, and a few pieces of material were wasted. At night, I was always restless, and the next morning, I hired a car and rushed to Qixia Temple.
When I arrived at Qixia Temple, I looked back and forth, but I didn't see Chuxi, but I thought she went to the back mountain, so I asked the little master, but the little master didn't say much, just said: "The donor went to ask our abbot, the poor monk is inconvenient to say." β
Lin Wanwan just felt bad, so he hurriedly went to the main hall to find the abbot, and the abbot saw that Lin Wanwan was in such a hurry, so he took Lin Wanwan to the place where the deceased was enshrined in Qixia Temple.
Lin Wanwan was stunned as soon as he entered, and the abbot said: "She's here, let's come out after the donor says goodbye." β
The tablets in the room, Lin Wanwan forcibly suppressed the emotions that wanted to burst into tears, and looked for them one by one, and saw Lu Chuxi's name, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing out. It's just a day and night difference, and the early dawn that was full of laughter yesterday is settled in this white porcelain altar today.
Lin Wanwan came out with the urn altar, and the abbot stopped him: "Donor, you can't take the imperial concubine away." β
Lin Wanwan cried and said, "I know, she is waiting for the emperor, I just want to hold her for a while, I won't take her away." β
The abbot sighed and said, "The old man believes in the benefactor. With that, he turned and walked towards the main hall.
Lin Wanwan walked to the forest in the back mountain with the small porcelain altar, carefully put down the porcelain altar, and sat on the ground himself. The sky was still good, Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Chuxi, do you know how it feels when I first see you?" β
The birds in the forest were chirping, Lin Wanwan smiled to himself: "Chu Xi, you are wrong, the first time I saw you was when you and the Wang family's daughter played the piano," Lin Wanwan smiled again, tears flowed out of his eyes unconsciously, and said, "I thought at the time, this girl is good, very distinctive!" Dare not to pretend to be a man, this kite is really unprecedented. β
Lin Wanwan wiped the tears on his face and said with a smile: "You're talking nonsense again, why can't I see that you are a man?" We grew up in the Qinglou, whether it is a man or a woman, you can see at a glance that your little trick is just that no one in the Qinglou exposed you. β
Lin Wanwan sat like this and said to himself, laughing and crying for a while, but the fluttering birds couldn't help but say such a bleak goodbye, and flew to the bustling Beijing......
Lin Wanwan went back with the ash altar for a long time, and a little master was guarding the door, and when he saw Lin Wanwan coming back, he said, "Don't be too sad." β
Lin Wanwan nodded, went in and set up the jar, came out to say a word to the little master and left. Back at the embroidery workshop, the little girl looked at Lin Wanwan's lost soul, and asked softly, "Miss Lin?" What's wrong with you? β
Lin Wanwan just smiled, was silent for a long time, and said, "Go and fetch my zither." The little girl took the zither out of nowhere, and Lin Wanwan just adjusted the strings and played it gently.
Who hasn't slept all night, but who hasn't slept all night, how can there be one or two people?
Wu Zhuangyuan's recruitment attracted thousands of young people to sign up, and after strict selection, truly talented people were selected, and the name of the general was settled. Qi Han also smoothly took advantage of the new general to take all the military power of the Liang family into his own hands.
Liang Xiangfeng was an old man in his last years, and he had no military power, and the courtiers wrote to impeach him. All of a sudden, all kinds of things about Liang Xiang's conspiracy to rebel surfaced, and those protΓ©gΓ©s of Liang Xiang also defected to the emperor, and Liang Jiashu was scattered.
All the hustle and bustle in Beijing was the news about the fall of the Liang family, Liang Xiang was imprisoned, and the whole family was imprisoned. All the men were beheaded, and the women were served as official slaves. At the same time, the world was amnesty, and the whole world celebrated the news of the defeat of the Liang family.
In a small alley in the south of the Yangtze River, Qi Min was also crowded in the crowd just now to see the emperor list, the fall of the Liang family is naturally good news, but for Rui'er, there will probably still be a trace of sentimentality.
Qi Min hurried back to the courtyard in the small alley, the stone surface of the bluestone slab was green and quiet, Liang Ruier sat quietly on the side picking vegetables, as soon as Qi Min entered the courtyard, he saw Liang Ruier who was quiet, so he walked over and smiled: "Ruier, I'll help you." β
Liang Rui'er raised her head and said with a smile: "No need, Ah Min, can you go and see if the medicine I dried is frozen?" β
Qi Min went to fiddle with the medicinal herbs, and asked in an interview, "Rui'er, are you ...... Are you out today? β
Liang Rui'er saw Qi Min stumbling, so she smiled and said, "Are you saying that the Liang family has fallen?" Liang Ruier paused, breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's a good thing." β
Qi Min looked at Liang Rui'er in surprise, Liang Rui'er couldn't help but smile, and said, "I mean the truth," Liang Rui'er put down the dishes in her hand and said lightly, "Since the day my father died, I have no relationship with the Liang family, and Ah Min, since the fifth master was outside, you have no relationship with the royal family." β
Qi Min also put his mind at ease, smiled, and said, "Well, I know." β
The two of them were talking and laughing and picking vegetables and cooking. Chu Xi sent Qi Min and Liang Rui'er away, and Qi Yue, who followed up, sent someone to escort the two of them to Jiangnan, and also escaped the pursuit. When Qi Yue saw a lot of such things, he naturally thought that Qi Han would probably send someone to hunt down Qi Min and Liang Rui'er, so he sent someone to escort the two of them all the way. But Qi Yue didn't want Chu Xi to know about it, one is the relationship between Chu Xi and Qi Han, if he says it, maybe Chu Xi will do something, and the other is that since Qi Min and Liang Rui'er are fine, the matter will be over, Qi Yue just mentioned it slightly, so as not to be too shocked when Chu Xi knew about it in the future.
The two of them are living a comfortable life in the alleys of the south of the Yangtze River, but they are the most like immortals, much better than in the imperial city.
At this time in Beijing, the people surrounding them sighed that Liang Xiang's family was rich and rivaled the country, more than a dozen carts of gold, silver and jewelry, and silk and satin were piled up in the warehouse, and some were weathered and brittle.
Liang Xiang knelt on the cold ground before being beheaded, looking at the onlookers, his old face under the gray hair suddenly recalled the words of the imperial concubine not long ago, what is he trying to do in his life? In the end, everyone was ruined and beheaded.
The sword fell, and the era of the Liang family's dominance came to an end.
In the palace, Liang Yuer's hair was messy, she held on to the phoenix robe tightly and refused to let go, and the eunuchs on the side grabbed it, and after several disputes, the phoenix robe actually broke away. Liang Yu'er was in pain suddenly, fell to the ground, and let the palace people drag her out.
