Chapter 124. The weakness of the emperor

There are still ten days to go to the Dragon Boat Festival, and Chang'an City is a busy scene. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The procession of large carts and small carts moved some things from the palace to the new palace in Luoyang.

The matter of moving the capital to Luoyang has been busy for about a month. Finally, there were fewer royal vehicles carrying heavy and soft baggage in Chang'an City. It seems that the relocation of the capital has been roughly completed.

The new palace is majestic, with rockeries and numerous lakes. Let people be dazzled after entering.

The queen stood in the back garden of the new palace, watching the peonies bloom in large swaths. The flowers against the green leaves are white, yellow, pink, red, purple and multicolored, with single-petaled, double-petaled, double-petaled and pavilion flowers.

Although the scene was very spectacular and magnificent, the queen looked at it and sighed unconsciously.

Since the last time the emperor said about the emperor's rashness, he has not spoken to the queen until now. At this time, he was reviewing the recitals in the imperial study.

The sleepy emperor was sobered up by an inconspicuous post.

This post is about Princess Ah Wu of Lanling.

After reading the post, the emperor clenched his fists, "Okay, you Ah Wu!" I want to fight against my brother everywhere! “

It turned out that when various countries heard that the Great Sui had moved their capital to Luoyang, they sent envoys to Luoyang to celebrate. Emperor Daye ordered the people of Chang'an City and the surrounding towns to be bright and gorgeous before they could go out on the streets. Violators of the order will be arrested by the Praetorian Guards and taken to the construction site of the river to serve in the conscription.

Princess Lanling ignored the order of the Emperor of Daye, and openly swaggered through the street without powder. Arrested by the Praetorian Guards on the street. The criminal department did not dare to send her directly to the construction site, so Shangjuan asked the emperor what to do.

The emperor's hand holding the post was trembling. Furious, shredded the post. He roared towards the door, "Bring Princess Lanling here!" ”

The guard at the door was obviously startled, and replied in a trembling voice, "Yes!" And he ran away.

He had never seen the emperor make such a big fuss.

Indeed, the emperor used to be gentle and elegant. Now he has just been misunderstood by the queen, and now he is ignored by his sister, how can he not be angry?

Thinking that he and the queen had a lot of hearts and minds back then, how could there have been such a misunderstanding? How did the lovely fifth sister back then become like a prickly head to herself now?

"Have I really become a loner?" He muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, Princess Lanling brings it!" The voice of the guard at the door came.

The emperor took a deep breath and calmed down, "Bring it in!" ”

I saw that Ah Wu was thinner than before, and his beautiful face was lonely. His eyes were full of hatred. He didn't bow to the emperor, and turned his head to look to the side.

"Ah Wu, do you really hate me so much?" The emperor wanted to ask her why she had violated his orders, but now he said something that seemed to beg for mercy.

Ah Wu didn't look at him, and he didn't say anything.

"It's really so hateful. All he did for his brother was to avoid unnecessary casualties. When an envoy from a small country comes to the court, if he sees that the people of the Great Sui are living so rich and strong, will he dare to invade the border? Do you know how many wars will be avoided at that time? The emperor looked at his sister and explained. I wish I could reconcile with her.

It's a pity that Princess Lanling was not moved by his words, but the anger on her face became even stronger.

"Good one to reduce casualties. You killed the eldest brother, killed the father, and imprisoned the fourth brother to death, isn't this a casualty? I don't approve of an emperor like you! Ah Wu almost roared, tears bursting into his eyes.

The emperor looked at his crazy sister and sat down on the dragon chair. I don't know how to answer each other.

Although it was Yang Su who killed the eldest brother, he acquiesced to avoid future troubles. And although my father was seriously ill at that time, he had nothing to do with himself. The younger brother Yang Liang raised troops to avenge his father and eldest brother, and was arrested and placed under house arrest after the defeat.

"I originally wanted my fourth brother to spend the rest of his life in that courtyard without worrying about food and clothing, but I never thought that he would be such a strong personality and end up depressed." The emperor said, crying silently. It seems to be explaining to Ah Wu, and it seems to be a word to blame himself.

Ah Wu didn't look at him at all. Stood aside coldly.

"Take the princess back to the princess's mansion and let the guards watch it day and night, and don't go out this month!" The emperor said this weakly, and prepared to go back to the dormitory.

Suddenly, Ah Wu shouted loudly behind him, "Since I have committed a crime, why don't I exile Longchuan County?" Let me die with the colt! ”

The emperor turned his head and looked at the knife-like hatred in the eyes of his beloved sister at the beginning. I couldn't say a word.

The court and China were busy, and soon the emperor forgot about it.

Less than half a year later, on this day, another report about Ah Wu was submitted. It turned out that she had exhausted her life in just half a year and died alone at home. Before he died, he wrote the above table: "In the past, Jiang swore to himself, wrote poems before the United States, and passed on the words of the concubine." Although the concubine is guilty, she admires the ancients. He was not allowed to obey his husband in life, and he died and begged to be buried in the Liu family. ”

After reading it, the emperor was filled with grief and indignation, and he couldn't cry.

It's good that you are a five, you actually took revenge on your brother in such a decisive way.

After crying for about a stick of incense, the emperor wiped away his tears. There was an extra layer of stubbornness in his eyes.

"Ah Wu, I thought that even if everyone else misunderstood him as a brother, only you would believe and support me. I didn't expect that the deepest misunderstanding was you! ”

The emperor picked up the pen and quickly replied.

"Bury the princess in Hongduchuan, thin burial!"

The person on the table was shocked when he saw the emperor's reply. I heard that the emperor loves this sister the most, why did he do it so resolutely this time?

In the palace, the emperor sat in the imperial study, with a pile of unfinished pieces in front of him.

The Empress walked in, "Your Majesty! ”

When the emperor heard this familiar voice, he did not look up. But my heart was shocked.

How timely this call came, just when he felt that he was too lonely to bear it anymore, this familiar voice redeemed him.

His expression changed a million times in this instant, but he never looked up.

"This is a Yangzhou pastry made in the imperial dining room, I think it is delicious, bring it to Your Majesty to taste." The queen's tone has not changed because the emperor has not raised his head, and she is still so gentle.

She heard about Ah Wu's affair, and thought that the emperor must be very sad and angry, so she specially ran to comfort the emperor.

The emperor looked at the pastry in front of him, took one and put it in his mouth, "It's delicious!" ”

The queen looked at the emperor's tired face, and felt distressed, he needed to relax, I really don't know what will happen if it goes on like this, "Your Majesty, it's better to take advantage of the opening of the new canal to go to Yangzhou!" ”

The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, he had been having this idea recently, but he never put it forward. I didn't expect the queen to think of going with him.

"The queen and I still have a heart-to-heart!" As he spoke, his expression became much brighter.

Yes, his queen is still close to him. He wasn't alone

They haven't seen each other for half a year, and finally reconciled at this moment.
