Two-one-two. Dusty one
readx; The mid-autumn morning breeze is already quite cool, and halfway up the mountain, the fog has not yet dissipated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info like a veil like fog, swirling in the air.
Outside the tall and solemn mountain gate of Ruoshui Nunnery, Situ Yi was free of crowns, wearing only a azure regular suit, standing beside the road with his hands in his hands. Behind him, there were more than a dozen young and fierce white-feathered guards.
After the morning bell, the mountain gate creaked and opened softly, and the two nuns who opened the door looked up to greet Situ Yi and his party, and were stunned for a moment before they stepped forward to salute.
Situ Yi humbly returned the courtesy, reported his name and surname, and waited quietly for the two little nuns to enter to report.
After a while, I saw Mrs. Dening, the director of Ruoshui Nunnery, and led a few small nuns to hurriedly greet her. When the master saw Situ Yi, he bowed from afar.
Although this Ruoshui Nunnery is a royal temple, it has always been only the inner palace concubines and noble eunuchs. As soon as the mountain gate opened today, I heard that Situ Yi was outside the door, and he came unannounced in a very unusual way. Mrs. Dening remembered for a moment that in recent days, she had heard all kinds of things from those noble relatives, thinking that this ruthless General Situ suddenly came, and she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart.
Situ Yi naturally didn't know what she was thinking, so he only bowed his head and saluted, helped her to get up, and after a few perfunctory words, he ordered her to lead the way in front and go to visit Master Jinghe.
After hearing this, Dening's uneasy mind was relieved a little. Because of Jinghe's special status, there are often visitors in her courtyard, and most of the visitors are noble relatives and eunuchs. Dening only thought that Situ Yi was also here to see him off, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he only led him all the way to the small courtyard in the west of the An.
The small Zen temple where Master Jinghe lives is independent of Ruoshui, although it is also a Ruoshui Nunnery Meditation House, but there is a wall between it and the main courtyard.
A few people walked for a while, turned a few mountain roads and twisted roads, and only then did they see a gray tile and blue brick door in the shade of mountains and trees.
Because it was still early and it was deep in the mountains, it was especially quiet in the surrounding areas. Half-shot away, I could already faintly hear the sound of grunting pigeons and the sound of wooden shoes walking in the gray wall.
The corners of Situ Yi's lips raised slightly, and his gaze fell silently to the leader of the White Feather Guard behind him. When the young guard saw this, he hurriedly stopped his steps, nodded, and quietly retreated.
Master Dening didn't dare to snub Situ Yi, and personally stepped forward to knock on the door.
After a while, a little Niyiyi came, opened the courtyard door with both hands, stood at the crack of the door, and looked at Mrs. Dening in confusion. Just after listening to Mrs. Dening's whispering, the little nun timidly raised his eyes and glanced at Situ Yi and his party not far away, hurriedly bowed, and turned inside to report.
Situ Yi thanked Master Dening for this, and then sent her back. He waited calmly outside the door. Falling eyes look at this small courtyard door. Now, with him personally guarding here, she can't escape.
After about half a cup of tea, I saw a middle-aged female nun slowly come out. opened the door, but he looked at Situ Yi neither humbly nor arrogantly, bowed slightly, got up and turned inward silently, and did not deliberately guide him.
Looking at the resentment in her eyes, Situ Yi didn't care, and only turned around and ordered the entourage to stay outside the door, and he followed the nun inside.
This middle-aged nun, he has a one-sided relationship. When Yunzecheng was ordered to welcome Princess Changyi back to the court, she was the princess's personal maid. Come to think of it, it should be the close maid who married her relatives at the beginning. Now, Princess Changyi has become a Jinghe teacher, and she has also entered the empty door, serving her wholeheartedly, and is a rare loyal servant. She has followed Princess Changyi for half her life, and she must know a lot, so she understands that Situ Yi came here at this time with a bad purpose.
On the elegant main hall, the tea is full of smoke and agarwood.
After the spacious and elegant pineapple case, Jing and Shi sat upright. She frowned slightly, took a sip of tea, and then raised her eyes, and very indifferently swept to Situ Yi, who was standing in front of her, and said, "I don't know how to call Your Excellency the poor nun?" It's the eldest son of my Great Qi's Guide General? Or the prince of Yasukuni of Emperor Chu? ”
Situ Yi pursed his lips and smiled, but he didn't answer silently, bowed and said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Changyi Wan'an"
"Hmph" Jinghe Shi snorted softly in a cold voice, and then sighed before raising his hand and lightly saying "Please sit".
Situ Yi was not polite, sat down in his clothes, and stared calmly at the woman in front of him.
Although she is not confused when she is over the age, she is noble in the end. Even though he drifted away for half his life and lost his country and family, the noble aura of Ling Ran around him turned into a faint Zheng Zhengran, melted into his bones and blood, and was engraved between his eyebrows. Even now that the general trend has passed, she does not have the slightest intention of bowing down.
Situ Yi sighed to himself. She's just a weak woman. With weak and thin shoulders, she shouldered the burden of the frontier Antai, and sacrificed herself in the temple of Shejizong, which is also a rare strange woman. It's not that he doesn't admire, it's just that he can't let her go anymore.....
Holding back the regret in his heart, Situ Yi said bluntly: "Situ Yi is here to ask His Highness to stop his plan to go south." ”
"And after that?" Jing He asked lightly, as if it was none of his business.
Situ Yi also had no intention of making a detour, "After that, I naturally ask His Highness to continue to stay in Ruoshui Nunnery to meditate and spend his days in the future!" ”
"Oh, let me stay in Wakasui Nunnery for meditation?"
"Yes, please stay in the Wakasui Nunnery and meditate with peace of mind."
He was silent for a moment, and the corners of his lips rose with a sneer: "Then General Situ, do you know that I have asked Emperor Chu to allow me to go south to guard the tomb?" ”
Situ Yi nodded and said, "Yes." Her Royal Highness the Princess, as the only surviving bloodline of the royal family of the previous dynasty, is reasonable to ask her to go south to guard the mausoleum. The saint is benevolent, not only allowed the princess to go south, but also ordered the local area to build a nunnery outside the tomb of Emperor Qi for the princess to guard the tomb and repair, this matter has been announced to the world, Situ Yi naturally knows. ”
"Now that you know, you are still openly trying to stop me from going south? This is disrespectful! Jinghe's calm eyes looked at Situ Yi lightly, and there was a shallow disdain in the depths of his calm gaze.
Situ Yi met her gaze and said with a smile: "Situ Yi is a Chu minister, so he naturally obeys the emperor's orders. It's just that my lord is benevolent, and what he agreed is the invitation of the princess to go south to guard the mausoleum. But if the princess went south to guard the mausoleum, it was just an excuse, but she wanted to take the opportunity to go against the sky. That Situ Yi stopped the princess, naturally it was not disrespectful. ”
After listening quietly, he smiled coldly and came down silently.
I just heard a report from the little nun in the garden, saying that Situ Yi came uninvited. She had already understood in her heart the purpose of his trip.
Thinking about it carefully, she has been working hard for more than ten years. Now everything is developing according to her wishes, the true successor bloodline of the Qi family has returned to the south safely, and he is no longer the weak young man, he can be on his own, and there are more than 100,000 followers around him. And in the heart of the Chang'an court, there are also her own henchmen who she has already laid for him......
Even if she can't retreat, even if she can't get out of the school, she will fall first. But she was also relieved. For 30 years, she has worked hard for the country and her family. If you can't witness the revenge of your family and the restoration of the country, although it is inevitable to regret it, it can be regarded as a successful retirement and you leave with peace of mind.
As soon as I thought of this, I was even more calm and clear in my heart. In front of her son who forced her brother to death, she had no intention of making a detour, and the hatred that had accumulated in the depths of her heart slowly spoke: "Speaking of going against the sky, Situ Gongzi has a lot of learning. Hasn't Gongzi heard how Ling Zun used the lives of millions of Li people in the ten cities south of the Yangtze River to coerce each other, and made immortal military exploits without blood? ”
When Situ Yi saw her talk about this, he understood that she had already died in the heart, and sighed helplessly, "The princess is wrong!" ”
Jing He snorted coldly and gritted his teeth, "Wrong? It's wrong! It's my brother, he's wrong! The dignified prince, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, just to care for the people of the ten cities, believed the nonsense of your father and Qin Zi'an, and was humiliated to death! I was so angry that I was finally buried in the hands of these unfaithful and unrighteous and ungrateful people! ”
Situ Yi stared at the dusty old resentment rising from her eyes, shook her head slightly, and said, "Princess, you are really wrong!" ”
