Chapter 60: The Hall of the Three Corpses
Gao Changshi, who was next to the emperor, is now hot, and he is the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial palace, and he is the third grade. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, when people are arrogant, their faces are longer, and they don't smile, and the people in the palace are afraid of his fierce appearance, and they call him impermanence behind their backs.
Once a son of heaven and a eunuch, Hao Tong, who used to serve the first emperor, stepped down like a faded old New Year's painting, covered with spider dust webs, and people didn't even bother to look at it.
The Reed Yuan Palace is overwhelmed with white, and all the prosperity is drowned in the "fierce color".
Although the scenery of the West Six Places is gradually declining, the white invasion has ended here, the loess walls on both sides of Yongxiang have long been covered with green by creepers and dill, and the pentagonal trumpet flowers with red petals and astragalus are dotted in the middle, which is full of vitality.
At the end of Yongxiang, there is a place where you can't bathe in the emperor's grace, the cold palace.
It is said that it is a cold palace, and the plaque of the main hall reads "Three Lives Palace", which is the handwriting of Emperor Wenzong in the past, and here was the first palace where his favorite concubine Roufei lived, in order to isolate her from the concubines farther away, and later Roufei died in childbirth, and there was a national color and fragrance of Mrs. Huaguo, once this palace was as gorgeous as a golden house. Planted with a precious acacia tree called Jinyu Mantang, now replaced by patches of apricot trees, the apricot trees do not need to be taken care of, although this year's rain is scarce, near the wet place of the stream, some of the Li Guang apricots have begun to bear green apricots the size of small fingernails, and they are growing well.
At this time, the season is still early, and in two months, it will also be a splendid piece of gold, although they are all golden, one is the most precious and affectionate, and the other is the most humble and vulgar thing. There is also a saying in the palace that the reason why Li Guangxing here is so delicious is because of the tears of the ladies in the cold palace, this sentimental statement is pure nonsense, there are no tears in the cold palace, only despair.
Go east, there is really a golden house pavilion, take the meaning of Tibetan Jiao, but obviously the omen is not good, after the death of Concubine Rou, Emperor Wenzong missed the disease, three thousand favored in one Mrs. Huaguo only served Emperor Wenzong for one year, the emperor died on the belly of this beauty, this way of death made the concubines of the harem at that time mad, she herself was ashamed, and she died, it was rumored that the poisonous wine was given by the Empress Dowager, and some people said that it was given by the Empress Wenzong who was still alive at that time. Anyway, since ancient times, the concubine who has been favored by the emperor is also a person who has been hated by all the harem women, without the emperor, only death is her only choice, what does it matter who kills her?
Because the concubines have their own fate, and even the palace has its own fate.
But the sun is the same, it shines brightly, and some unknown wildflowers and pothos decorate the dilapidated looking palaces.
Even if the roof of the eaves is in disrepair, the red paint of the beams and columns is peeling, and the doors and windows are warped and deformed, it also distinguishes this place from the haunted house.
Of course, as long as you don't look closely at that plaque, because of the three big characters of "Three Lives Palace", only "Three Lives and Corpses" remains, especially at night, when the only green palace lamp reflects it, it is very terrifying!
Hao Tong stood in front of the desolate and dilapidated building, looking at the terrifying plaque, no wonder this place is commonly known as the Three Corpses Palace.
He remembered that the proposal to repair the cold palace, the eunuch in charge of this place in charge of the past and the present had submitted it to him two years ago, but he thought that since the cold palace was a place for palace concubines who had made a big mistake, if it was built like the palace where the queen lived, then they would still reflect on a fart! Aren't all the ladies in the palace holding back to make a mistake and go in to enjoy the blessings? Such a reason is dismissed, and this cool talk can only be said by people who have never been to this place, this place is not in this season, but what about winter? Freeze to death!
As he was distracted, a disheveled young woman with a head full of wild flowers came running up, hugged him and laughed and shouted, "Your Majesty! You've finally come to pick up your concubine! ”
Wildflowers are mostly because they have no fragrance, so the woman with a head full of flowers, a foul smell on her body makes him breathe, if it had been a few days ago, this woman's head would have been gone......
He shook his head at the thought, would I have come to this kind of place a few days ago? It's not normal for him to come here, but this woman is normal, there is no group of crazy people in the cold palace to support the façade, is it still worthy of being called the cold palace?
Because this place is far away from the Sixth Palace, the food in the cold palace has always been self-sufficient, and the vegetables are all grown by themselves, but they go to the Department of Internal Affairs once every half a month to receive the degree, which is an isolated place for people who are isolated from the world.
"This father-in-law, what are you doing here?"
A rough girl watched him push the madman aside with a very rude movement, but laughed, she hated these madmen, and sometimes hit her with stones, and she was just thinking about it, when she saw the middle-aged short and fat father-in-law in front of her covering his forehead and screaming, and the blood flowed down his cheeks from his forehead......
"Call your master!" Hao Tong took out a snow-white handkerchief to cover the wound, and said viciously, he knew that this must be a madman hiding in the dark to sneak attack, and it was too abnormal to deal with a madman.
Listening to his shouting, the rough girl thought that he might have a background, and walked towards a row of tall red brick houses to the north, which were the same as ordinary houses, obviously with the back cover, the closed doors and windows were intact, and there were still talismans begged from the messy temple, which must be the residence of the father-in-law.
After waiting for a long time, he saw the largest of the big blue brick and tiled house, and seven or eight small eunuchs in soap clothes came out with a big eunuch, which was the head of this place in the past.
The internal supervisors of the Three Lives Hall are all selected by the internal supervisors, all of them have big shoulders and round waists, and they are general butchers, if it weren't for this, there would have been no one here. Instead of waiting for death in this dark hell, it is better to make a desperate gamble and take risks, many years ago, there was an incident in which a madman in the cold palace ran out and killed the palace people.
"Oh my God! This is...... I don't know if Hao Duguan is here, and he is not welcome, forgive his sins!! Yu led people to kneel and kowtow in a hurry, just like seeing the king of heaven.
It seems that they really don't know, because of the sudden death of the emperor and not leaving half a sentence, the court in the palace has become a pot of porridge for the prince's affairs in the past few days, and everyone feels that the future is uncertain, where does anyone think of this cold palace? Moreover, the Empress Dowager strictly forbade the people in the palace to secretly discuss this matter, just look at the inner prisons who were beaten to death, and no one dared to say more than half a word, at this time, saying more words would lead to death, so it is even more impossible to know the right and wrong of a place like the cold palace.
"Get up." Hao Tong wished that they would never know about the emperor's death, so that he would always be in charge of the imperial palace.
"How can you ...... yourself today? Come to our three corpses? ”
In the past, he asked with a smile, Piri Yangqiu, his eyes were poisonous, the first time he saw Hao Tong actually wearing filial piety clothes, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, an entourage did not bring, and he looked down, so he guessed seven or eight points, and his smile was even more fake, he was a beautiful little white face when he was young, this is old, and the eye-catching dimples on his face have become a wine ditch, which is equivalent to the dimples being kicked off by a knife, and developing in depth.
Hao Tong saw that he ignored his bubbling and bleeding wounds, it was really cold as soon as he left the tea, and his angry voice became even sharper, and everyone who listened to it grinned, "Your Majesty has died......
Yu and his men listened to it, and there was a belated cry: Your Majesty...... (To be continued)
