Chapter 278: Qin Tomb (4)
At that time, King Yingzheng of Qin had annexed the Six Kingdoms and proclaimed himself emperor. The former Yan State has long been occupied by the Qin State, and the Yan Prince Dan was exiled by Ying Zhengming, but in fact he was assassinated. And all the Yan people who had participated in the incident of 'Jing Ke's assassination of Qin' were sentenced to death. Not long after Gao Yuanli's identity was exposed, it reached the ears of Qin Shi Huang, and naturally he immediately ordered him to be summoned to the palace. You must know that what Qin Shi Huang appreciates most is the music of Gao Yuanli.
According to the rules of the time, the prisoners of the former ministers of various countries had to be branded with the word 'prisoner' on their foreheads, and after Gao Yuanli was inevitably captured, Qin Bing was branded with the word 'prisoner' on his forehead. The king of Qin issued an edict to exempt him from the death penalty, and named him the Qin Yuefu Order, Gui Jiuqing, and at the same time ordered Gao Yanli to write a song to praise his merits, and to play the piano for him every day to cheer him up and relax his mind.
Gao Yanli entered the Qin Palace with the hatred of the country and the belief that he would die, and he did not appreciate the reward of the King of Qin, resolutely refused to accept it, and asked Yingzheng to give him a death. But Qin Shi Huang refused, and Gao gradually left to fight with hunger strike, and the king of Qin thought that it was most suitable for Gao to leave as the chief musician of the court, but there was nothing he could do about him. It was at this time that Princess Liyang, the beloved daughter of King Qin, who also liked music, appeared, and she offered to persuade Gao to live, and promised to play for Qin Shi Huang. Won the approval of Yingzheng.
In this way, Princess Liyang took Gao Yanli back to her Liyang Palace, away from the Qin Palace. Princess Liyang touched Gao Yuanli with her sincerity, so that Gao Yuanli temporarily dispelled the idea of death, and taught her to play the piano through the curtain, just in the two of them taught a practice, Gao Yuanli deeply touched the girl's heart with his piano sound, and Princess Liyang also touched Gao Yuanli's heart with her own beautiful singing, and the two people had a heart of admiration at the same time. Once I played the piano. It was the time when the piano was passionate, and Princess Liyang came out of the curtain and pounced on Gao Yuanli. But it is said that this Liyang princess has been a beauty since she was a child, with beautiful eyes, clever smiles, skin like clotted fat, mouth like red peach, and free style between a smile and a smile. Wearing a white palace veil, his smile is as warm as the morning sun.
Gao Yanli was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Princess Liyang to be so beautiful and dazzling. What happened next seemed to be logical, two men and women who loved each other were in the same room, and it didn't take long for the room to be full of spring. As mentioned earlier, Princess Liyang's lower limbs are paralyzed and have been ill for a long time, but since she and Gao gradually separated together. I was able to stand up and gradually walk. This is like a miracle like a gift from God, which makes Princess Liyang very happy, and she is glad that she has met Gao Yuanli. It was at this time that Gao Yanli composed an elegant "Yangchun" song for Princess Liyang, which is the origin of the saying "Yangchun White Snow" in later generations.
It's a pity that the good times of these two people didn't last long, and the matter soon reached the ears of King Qin. The king of Qin did not object at first, but summoned Gao to leave the palace gradually. Want to ask him if he would like to serve the Qin State. But the hatred of the country and the family dare not forget, Gao gradually looked at the king of Qin who was sitting on the throne, thinking that the place under his feet was the place where Jing Ke died tragically, and he couldn't suppress the bitterness in his heart, and rejected Qin Shi Huang with righteous words. Ying Zheng was naturally furious after hearing this. directly promised Princess Liyang to Wang Ben, the son of the general Wang Qian, and at the same time convicted Gao Yanli of being a peek at the princess, and ordered someone to use Qin Palace torture to blind Gao Yuanli's eyes, so that Gao Jianli could no longer see the light, and directly put him under house arrest in Qin Palace.
Never see the beloved Princess Liyang again. He has become a blind waster again, and he is forced to play by his enemies every day. Endless bitterness and torture hit Gao Yuanli together, and he secretly made a decision, a decision to die. First of all, he asked someone to tell him that he had thought it out clearly and planned to play a song for the first emperor wholeheartedly, and Yingzheng naturally readily agreed. When the time came, Gao gradually left the piano and walked into the hall step by step, he vaguely understood the mood of Brother Jing Ke when he walked on this hall.
Closer, closer, he knelt in front of Ying Zheng, his fingers caressing the strings, and beautiful music flowed from under his fingers. Ying Zheng listened to the sound of the piano very happily, but he didn't expect Gao to jump up and smash the lead-filled guqin at the First Emperor. But his eyes couldn't see it, but this time it was smashed! Ying Zheng, who was not weak in martial arts, quickly dodged, and the guards on both sides quickly stepped forward and captured him.
Ying Zheng angrily drew his sword and stabbed him, the cold mang was near, and it was finally over, but the feeling of the cold sword piercing into the flesh did not appear, but a delicate body fell into his arms, even if he didn't have eyes, Gao Yanli could know that this fallen figure was Princess Liyang, who was looking at him with tears behind the bead curtain, and when it happened, her body rushed over to block a sword for him. Only one sentence was left, "The past is over, only the next life!" Then the fragrance disappeared and died.
Holding the person in his arms, Gao gradually separated himself from knowing that he would never have the opportunity to assassinate the First Emperor again. With a wry smile, he followed the sword that pierced the princess, pierced his own body, and died there.
After Wang Yiming's story was finished, Sanzang was stunned, "This Gao gradually departing is also true, if you like your daughter and want to kill your father-in-law, this love and hatred mixed with national hatred and family hatred is really the most complicated!" And then what? What happens after you die? ”
I answered, "Gao Yanli and Princess Liyang died together, just the day before Princess Liyang's wedding, it was recorded that the first emperor ordered the two to be separated, but even if they died, Gao Yanli hugged Princess Liyang tightly and did not let go, and finally the attendant had no choice but to report to Yingzheng, and I don't know what Yingzheng thought, so he directly buried the two people as one person!" ”
"Doesn't that mean that the tomb of Princess Liyang is actually the tomb of Gao Yuanli?" Yi Shuihan's has not heard a trace since then, and it is very likely that a piece was buried in this tomb? Sanzang's voice was a little raised.
"Yes, if this account is true, nine times out of ten, it is in the tomb of Princess Liyang. But other possibilities are not ruled out, after all, after so many years, history has long since disappeared into the dust! We can only guess. Wang Yiming nodded, affirming Sanzang's statement.
"It's good to be possible, it's worth going, it's worth going! You might even find an old sheet music! Sanzang rubbed his hands excitedly.
In front of Wang Yiming's puzzled gaze, I opened my mouth and replied, "Sanzang's guqin is very good, in his own words, it is a hobby!" ”
