Chapter 31: Dead and Old
"You're defeated." Sitting at the foot of the imperial city, his white robe turned into a bloody robe, and his limbs were penetrated by Yin Ying's qi machine, so he could only raise his head slightly, laugh at the winter snow burying this bloody battle, and repeated, "You are defeated." β
Yin Ying's face was expressionless, and he stabbed the only remaining short sword into San's heart, and then twisted it fiercely.
The elegant face suddenly became distorted, and the sudden sharp pain once again awakened the pain of his paralysis, his limbs twitched constantly, and the blood was like a flood that had been released, like a water bomb that he had punctured that year, and it was all leaking out.
"I'm sorry."
Yin Ying raised her eyebrows, puzzled.
"I'm really sorry," there was pain between the frowning brows, but in those clean eyes, the clearest streamer in the world was reflected, "I'm really sorry for the insult I gave you." β
Insult? It's a stupid and clumsy agitation method of three, two, three.
"Heh," Yin Ying exhaled a breath and said indifferently, "Now you can't even hold up half a pillar of incense, you're going to die, you're still thinking about this?" β
"That's why I'm going to die." When he said this, he tried his best to control his hands and feet, and his tone was calm, thinking that he could not lose his manners and treat her with respect.
"Why?" Yin Ying looked at him mockingly as he tried to straighten his waist and sit down, "I'm going to die, what kind of flower head are you doing?" β
This is a mockery of his death and a posturing, a mockery of him apologizing to the enemy.
She was mocking him, a pedantic readerβstupid!
Three, two, three know that they want to wipe the blood stains on their lips with their sleeves again, but unfortunately both sleeves are red, and it is useless.
"It's just for peace of mind," he said, looking up and whispering, "besides, you deserve respect, and everyone in the world deserves respect." β
The city gate kept shaking, and the Suzaku Street kept shaking.
And Yin Ying's face was unwavering, just staring quietly at three, two, three.
"It seems that you are also unfaithful...... "Santwosthree seemed to see through her intentions, and they didn't break it, happy that the Liang family father and son escaped.
"So are you." Yin Ying said lightly, "You are not loyal to Your Majesty, you are a traitor." β
"I am loyal to the people of the world." Santwosan explained with a smile.
Yin Ying was about to open his mouth to refute, but suddenly his face changed, and he fell back into the shadows, and soon he lost his breath.
I was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, it turned out that she was here.
The dense snow is overwhelming, and it seems that the rich man with a lot of money is throwing paper money wantonly.
And Chang'an City in winter is even quieter, quiet like a tomb......
She walked in this tomb, dressed in a red and yellow robe, with a folded turban, a nine-ring belt, a bell wrapped around her right arm, and a bouquet of plums in her left hand. There was no great pomp, and no one even held an umbrella for it, so she walked slowly in this wind and snow, even if the wind and snow invaded the Liuhe boots, she still walked forward step by step unhurriedly.
As she walked, the bell rang with it, and the sound was very heavy, not at all as crisp as the bell, but like the sound of a death knell, with a little pleasure.
This death knell is strange, it celebrates the passing of the dead, and rejoices in the sorrow of the living.
The door to another world seems to have been opened, the road side of Huangquan is paved with flowers on the other side, but the bridge is crowded with the dead, they are dazed and desperate, resentful and nostalgic for the world of the living.
She was the only one with a sad face.
It looks like an old woman who is funeral for her relatives.
If it weren't for the fact that her dragon robe was too dazzling.
"You've come to see me......" Santwo-san was a little panting and a little nervous.
Emperor Tobu nodded.
"You've lost." Three, two, three took a deep breath, his eyes were clear, and he looked at the female emperor calmly.
The female emperor did not answer, but stared at this junior who she had high hopes for, a little angry, a little unbearable, but finally turned into indifference, "Why did you betray me?" β
"Does it make sense?" Santwosan replied calmly.
"Yes." The female emperor looked down at her nephew who was about to die, "I need to know in order to prevent it." β
Sanyusan smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.
The female emperor was not annoyed, but just tore off the petals of Lamei little by little and sprinkled them on him from top to bottom.
"Why don't you put up with it? Among my sons and nephews, I like you the most, and if there is no accident, my country will be yours...... But why can't you bear with it? Can't you endure until I'm dead? β
"Not good." Santwosan shook his head very resolutely, "That's not good at all. β
The female emperor pulled the petals, no longer sprinkled, and waited quietly for him to follow.
"Do you remember the year Yi Xiu died?"
The female emperor's face was finally moved, her right hand trembled slightly, and a piece of plum petals fell between her legs.
"Looks like you remember." Santwosan picked up the piece of plum with two pale fingers, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, as if he was tasting the most delicious food in the world, his eyes were slightly bright, "That year, many people died, and many people might as well die." That year was also snowy and bloody. For the first time that year, I drank a day's wine, accompanied by this peach blossom, accompanied by the blood of my friends......"
Raised his head in twos and threes, his eyes were clear as if he had passed in the past, "But I can't do anything...... Because I can only read......"
"Later, because of your importance, my father sent me back to the ancestral house and locked me up in the ancestral house in order to protect me from the Li family." Santwosan said softly, "But since the day I returned to my ancestral home, I have started to have a headache, and my heart is empty, as if someone has chopped off something important...... It was also from that day on, I felt that something was chasing me, desperately chasing me, I was terrified, I didn't know what it was, I just knew that I couldn't be caught up by it, and once it caught up, there was something to change, something to be finished......"
"Until I leave to visit you personally." The female emperor's expression was slightly grim.
"yes, until he visits me." Sansan sighed a little, "Until he visited me, I didn't chase me until all these years......"
"What did he say?" The female emperor directly interrupted the words and asked expressionlessly.
"He didn't say anything, just stood in front of me and I understood everything." Three-two-three closed his eyes and recalled, muttering softly.
The female emperor was silent.
"He's not like Master Geng at all, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Liang Sheng poured into him, turning him into a strategist completely." Santwosan's voice became softer and softer, and his face was sad, "But he is Master Geng's person after all, with the breath of Master Geng, I finally understand what has been chasing me all these years......"
Three, two, three suddenly opened his eyes, such an elegant person, but there was a raging fire in his eyes, and he was angry as if he wanted to burn the entire Chang'an!
"It's memories that are chasing me!" Sanstwosan looked painful and kept coughing up blood, "It's the memory of the fire in Chang'an, it's the memory of Master Geng and me!" But I subconsciously forgot about it, and forgot about Master Geng! I'm afraid, I'm terrified. I forgot about it, just for, just for ......"
"Stay alive." The female emperor continued to scatter flower petals, and the bell in her hand jingled.
"Yes, in order to save my life...... "I couldn't hold it anymore and fell down on my back, "Over the years, I have listened to the truth, read the teachings, performed the sacraments, and learned to govern the world...... Desperate. I am wonderful in the eyes of the world, and you praise me greatly, but the more I do this, the more ashamed I feel...... I didn't understand at the time, I didn't understand why. So I studied the way of Confucius and Mencius more and more, the responsibility of the law, and after studying it, I felt that the way of this world was wrong...... It wasn't until I thought of Master Geng that I realized that I was following Master Geng's path and doing Master Geng's unfinished business. β
"Open the way for scholars and seek peace for the people of the world?" The female emperor was disdainful, "So you want to abolish me?" β
"No, it's the abolition of the entire royal family." Three, two, three weakly replied, "The world has its own decisions. And the country should have a country first, and then a family, and the country cannot be named as a family, nor can it become a family. The royal family is indispensable, and the country is indispensable. β
"And let these fools rule the world?" The female emperor waved her sleeves, "The people of the world decide the affairs of the world?" Joke! The people are something, aren't they just a bunch of fools! If you give a little benefit, you can forget the past, and if you give a little sweetness, you are willing to kneel down and be a slave, what can they decide? Is it to decide whether a chicken is Zhang San's or Li Si's? β
"No," San-Ta-San's voice grew softer, "I just want to start by restricting you first, and then the power belongs to the people." β
The female emperor was silent, and only after a moment did she speak: "I didn't expect you to be more ambitious than your teacher, and I am a little glad that you died now." Shirt, do you remember the visit that your teacher set up in Chang'an? β
Three, two, three didn't answer, and understood what the female emperor meant, and her clean eyes were a little cloudy. "I know that if the government visit is wronged by the people, if it is not done, it will be sued by the people, and the officials at all levels should be demoted. This was a good thing, but in less than half a month, the government visited and withdrew. But the reason is that the people are making trouble and want benefits...... This matter is also the only thing where Geng Shi was ridiculed by the government and the opposition......"
"The people of this world are full of servility in their bones." The female emperor lowered her head and looked at the three two who were about to be drowned by the ideal, "Everyone says that the emperor's family is the most ruthless, but what about the people in the world?" Selling his wife for glory, he will take revenge, he is honest on the surface, but he doesn't know how many tricks there are in his heart, and they just want to take advantage of you. It's a joke that you ignore that all living beings are evil because all living beings are suffering, and that you think the world is great good because of the goodness of one person! I dare to say that if you give these fools a little power, they will be more greedy than the most greedy people in the world, and if you give them a little strength, they will be worse than the worst people! But if you have more power and power than them, they won't resist, they won't struggle, they will just honestly continue to wag their tails and beg for mercy! β
Three, two, three, open their mouths, trying to refute something. But the female emperor already knew what he wanted to say, so she spoke first.
"I know you want to say, 'What if one person stands up and resists.'" But shirt, have you forgotten Geng Xinghuo's fate? That time when the people whipped the corpses, my court did not touch the hands of the slightest. β
Santwosan looked a little sad.
"Geng Xinghuo has long known that it is a joke that power belongs to the people, and these seemingly pure people are even more treacherous than those powerful people." The female emperor looked at this seedling with some pity, "The powerful still know that the country is the place where they can live and live, and those people think that home is the most important place, and whether the country will be or not has nothing to do with them." Geng Xinghuo said that the country should have a country first and then a family, and it is these foolish people who are educated, and the powerful have long been unable to break free from the shackles of this country. β
"Well, that's what you're taught. It seems that I am too idealistic. Sanyusan nodded calmly, "But I still stick to my ideals, even if I die with them." β
The Empress sighed.
"Thank you for your teaching, but I still believe that human nature is good." There was a bright light flashing in his eyes, like the reflection of dew in the morning, clean and bright, "You said that I think it is wrong for everyone in the world to be good because of one person's goodness, but isn't it wrong for you to blame everyone in the world for being evil because one person is evil?" If the people are ignorant, then they should be educated, and if the people do not know the country, then they should be taught what the country is...... In this way, in this world, there are still many good people. And you don't know this, you're just afraid of the people's enlightenment, afraid of the people's awakening, am I right? β
The female emperor was silent, and just as she was about to speak, she kept coughing up blood, and her vitality would dissipate.
"I want to persuade you, but I can't say anything. I also like to listen to your teachings, but I can't listen to them now, but fortunately, I can still talk to Yi Xiu below, and I can listen to Master Geng's teachings. But I want to say something more, please don't mind......" He said his last two words in this world, his eyebrows were serene, his clean eyes slowly closed.
"Please have a little kindness to the people, a little tenderness to the world, and a little hope for the future."
"Don't forget the original intention, let it go always."
His voice was very soft and soft, and the wind of the heavy snow was very quick and urgent.
But those who wanted to hear heard it.
The female emperor listened to his last words silently, silently watched him close his eyes, and suddenly felt a little sad in her heart.
It turns out that this smart child has known for a long time......
The female emperor was no longer in the mood to tear the plum petals one by one, she put the rest of the plum blossoms beside him, took off the big fur, draped it on his body, supported the imperial city, bent over, went back to her palace, and sat on her throne.
But in the end, she was still a little sad.
After all, over the years, it was Yi Xiu and Shirt who accompanied her, an old woman with a femme fatale.
But Yi Xiu died.
A few years ago, she personally ordered him to be executed.
Now the shirt is dead, too.
Indirectly killed by her.
Therefore, the clean eyes of the shirt will no longer flow brightly, looking at the ancient books on the shelves, and will no longer chew the plum blossoms slowly, and gently recite the sages and sages......
She slipped and fell into the snow. She wanted someone to help her, but the vast Chang'an and the vast snow were empty.
Only the shirt was still there, lying in the snow with her.
But he died.
Her heart twitched, and then she was a little surprised.
It turned out that she was already old......
But she's not dead.
Death means despair, and life means hope.
Where there is hope, there is still a chance!
"Shirt, this world is impermanent, and people's hearts are even more unpredictable. The end and development of history will eventually be accompanied by blood and death, and the only thing that can suppress power is power. β
The Empress got up with some difficulty, and blew a delicate horn hidden in her sleeve.
"I haven't lost yet!"
In the thirteenth year of Jinglong, the former Jingzhao Yin of Tobu died.

ps. In the first half of the month, I have been thinking about how to increase my collection, how to increase the number of clicks, and learn from others to write and try...... Later, when I looked back on it, I realized what the hell it was written about! Oh, my readers, I'm so sorry for you, it seems that you can see that this is true love for me. Laugh.
Well, from today onwards, I will implement my style from the beginning, too lazy to worry about what collections to click, isn't there still you? I can't help if others don't like me, I hope you like it. Laugh.
Good dreams, my reader.
In the end, when I saw the previous chapters, I didn't know what the hell was written, and I silently covered my face and fled. It's not weird, it's not weird, there's time for a big change......
