Chapter 63: Succession
After attacking the mausoleum, the Liang Dynasty ordered the army to rest temporarily, and he began to look for Xian Ge with Yu Yan.
The two searched all the way, and finally found the angry string song in a house, Yu Yan saw the string song, the accumulated tears overflowed, trembling hands touched the face of the string song, and fell an affectionate kiss, the right hand pressed the neck pulse of the string song, the pulse beating, Yu Yan's heart also beating, looking at the hilt of the sword on the chest, it was probably a mixed life and death, Yu Yan took out the herb with a paralyzing effect and applied it around the wound, gently rubbed it, and fed the pill left by the little uncle to the string song, held the hilt of the sword, and secretly prayed to the heavens, Exchange your life for the other half of the life of the string song.
The blood splashed, the hilt of the sword was pulled out, and Xian Ge's face became distorted due to the pain, Yu Yan hurriedly sealed the meridians of Xian Ge with a silver needle, and added herbs to stop bleeding, which slowly stopped the bleeding.
A familiar smell came, Yu Yan not only frowned, but said with a solemn face: "Senior brother, can you avoid it." ”
Liang Chaotian saw Yu Yan's demeanor, so he hurriedly retreated and stood guard at the door.
Yu Yan carefully checked the pulse of Xian Ge, and actually found 'a meeting' in her body, and the source of the poison was actually the clothes on her body, no wonder, there would be such a peculiar smell to disperse, the person who hid the poison was really vicious, quickly took off Xian Ge's clothes, and found a man's clothes for her to change in, and then called Liang Chao to come in.
"She's poisoned." Yu Yan hugged the string song horizontally, held her tightly in his arms, and gave her warmth.
Liang Chaotian said worriedly: "Is there a solution?" ”
"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." Yu Yan was a little sad, if it was simple poisoning, his own blood would be the antidote, but the poison in Xiange's body was urged in advance, and before the toxin could be suppressed, he was poisoned again.
"You take good care of her, and I'll deal with the follow-up uprooting."
"Okay."
Yu Yan took Xian Ge to a relatively quiet place, followed the method of the little uncle, and used his own blood to renew the life of Xian Ge.
Liang Chaotian reorganized the army, and after consulting with the prince of Jin, he decided to take Dingcheng directly through Qucheng.
The world is changing rapidly, and both sides are buying time for the last battle to the death.
Gu Yuan took Gu Chi to copy the path back to Dingcheng in advance, and as soon as he arrived at the dormitory, Gu Yuan blocked all the unfavorable news, and quickly sent the imperial doctor to treat Gu Chi.
After the imperial doctor checked Gu Chi's symptoms, he came to the same conclusion as Gu Yuan thought, but there was only one antidote to 'one meeting', and the only one was also used, now, how to save the review pool? Thinking of this, the thick fog in Gu Yuan's heart did not disperse.
"Go back and find a way, if you can't cure the emperor, you will be buried in the hospital." Gu Yuan opened his mouth coldly.
The imperial doctor quietly wiped his sweat and went back to think of a way to detoxify.
"Ahem, ahem." Gu Chi's weak cough came.
Gu Yuan's gloomy face eased, he stepped forward to hold Gu Chi's hand, and said with concern: "Second brother, you are awake." ”
Gu Chi looked around, and saw that he was lying on the dragon couch, and there were bursts of cold on his body, and Gu Yuan's demeanor was different, so he knew that he was poisoned, and lamented: "After all, it is retribution." ”
Gu Yuan choked up and said, "Second brother can't speak in vain. ”
"How's the city going? How's the string song? Gu Chi looked ahead in a daze.
"The city of Lingcheng is broken, and the string song has not left."
Gu Chi's heart ached, the great rivers and mountains were buried one after another, and the beloved person's head was in a different place, which was really blowing, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the brocade quilt on the couch red.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan wanted to send the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, but was stopped by Gu Chi.
"Third brother." Gu Chi opened his mouth hoarsely, his eyes were clear, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, and Daxi will be handed over to you." ”
"Second brother!" Gu Yuan's eyes were wet and he kept shaking his head.
"Ahem." Gu Chi suddenly coughed violently, and then said: "The poison of the royal family, I know best, now that there is no antidote, there is no way to return to the sky." ”
"Second brother......" Gu Yuan was about to say something more, but was interrupted by Gu Chi, "While I still have a breath, I want to entrust you with a few things." ”
Gu Yuan's eyes were foggy, he nodded with difficulty, and said, "Entrusted by the second brother, the younger brother should go to the soup to do it." ”
"First, you should be optimistic about the Gu royal family; Second, Xian Ge has no return in life and death, it is really pitiful, you set up a well-dressed mound for her at the ten-mile ferry in Pingxi City, and you must be courteous and long; Third, find the princess who was in exile back then. After Gu Chi finished speaking, there was a tingling pain in his heart, and a cold feeling ran through his body, making him can't help but shrink into a ball.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan hurriedly covered Gu Chi with a quilt, poured hot tea, and fed it to Gu Chi's mouth.
Who would have thought that as soon as the tea was in his mouth, Gu Chi spat blood from his mouth and was unconscious.
"Pass on the Imperial Doctor!"
When the imperial doctor arrived again, he was so frightened by Gu Yuan Tieqing's face that he shuddered, and after the pulse, he collapsed on the ground, not daring to speak.
Gu Yuan glanced at him, "Why did the emperor suddenly attack!" ”
"Hui, back to the three kings, the emperor drank black tea, and the poison was triggered." The Imperial Physician lay on the ground shivering.
Gu Yuan's gaze fell on the cup just now, and he called sharply: "Father-in-law Qin! ”
Gonggong Qin came in response, knelt on the ground, and waited for the dispatch.
"Who made that cup of tea?" Gu Yuan pointed to the teacup, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Hui Sanwang, he is the eldest prince."
Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed into a line, and the people who burst out were panicked, "Bring it!" ”
In a moment, the eldest prince was brought to Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan raised his hand, slapped the eldest prince on the cheek, and said angrily: "It is forbidden to drink black tea in the palace, what are your intentions!" ”
The eldest prince sobbed and said, "It's the son who wants to see the concubine." ”
Since Huang Shufei was beaten into the cold palace, Gu Chi made a clear decree that the eldest prince was not allowed to visit, let alone send things forward, but the eldest prince was only a six or seven-year-old child, where did he know the deep meaning, and he was only looking forward to going to see his mother and concubine.
"What do you have to do with this cup of tea!" Gu Yuan didn't like the eldest prince in the first place, and when he saw him being submissive and crying, he was even more angry.
"It's Aunt Chun, Chunhong." The eldest prince saw that his third emperor uncle had a thick anger on his face, and he really didn't know why, so he said timidly: "She, she said, if I make a cup of black tea in my father's palace, she will take me to the cold palace to see my mother." ”
Gu Yuan kicked the eldest prince to the ground and cursed, "Stupid! Drag it out! ”
He glanced at the eldest prince in disgust, and then turned to Qin Gonggong and said, "Execute Chunhong and her evil seed together and drag them to the mass grave." ”
In an instant, there were only two brothers left in the dormitory, and in an instant, Gu Yuan's tears burst out, from shallow sobbing to crying, and finally, crying until he sat hoarse and paralyzed beside Gu Chi, and kept saying, "I'm sorry......"
Gu Chi's body gradually cooled, and his breathing also wandered slightly, until the last drop of blood in his heart stopped swimming, Gu Yuan knelt in front of Gu Chi, and kept kowtowing until blood flowed from his forehead, until he fainted in his brain.
personally cleaned up Gu Chi's appearance, and changed him into a dragon robe, only then did he come to Gonggong Qin, "Let the Ministry of Rites start the funeral period, and send hundreds of officials to come to mourn." ”
On the third day of the 33rd month of the 33rd year of Zhang Yuan, Gu Chi was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and his son Dingwang ascended the throne, called the first year of the saint, the mother Du Guifei was the queen mother, and the three kings Gu Yuan was the regent, temporarily acting as the affairs of the court.
In the blink of an eye, the snow had begun to fall in the city, the white earth seemed so holy, the cold winter was coming, and this year's north wind was the most biting, like a thin blade, the knife cut on the skin, as if it was about to shed blood.
Jin Guo sang all the way, I wanted to take Dingcheng directly, but I didn't want Emperor Jin to listen to the advice of the old ministers in the court, suddenly asked for peace, and hurriedly issued a summons, so, the war between the two countries gradually subsided, the envoys of the two countries discussed the truce in the city, it was the month, Gu Yuan signed a treaty on behalf of the young emperor, and all the sixteen cities on the border of Daxi were assigned to the Jin State, in the same year, the two countries signed an alliance to not invade each other within ten years.
The first year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, destined to be recorded in the annals of history, here, the first imperial concubine Ming Cairen was removed from the royal family, actually buried with the concubine ceremony, this strange move, so that the government and the opposition were in an uproar, although strongly opposed, but there was nothing to be done, that day, the funeral procession went up from the waterway, mighty, brought the coffin containing the string song clothes to the Shili Ferry, and all the officials above the five grades around came to mourn.
Gu Yuan half-squatted at the mouth of the tomb, seeing that the soil submerged the mound of Xian Ge's clothes, so he reached out and took the last handful of loess and sprinkled it, half loudly, and then burned incense for Xian Ge for the first time, "Although the royal family took your life, my second brother has already returned it to you, I hope you will no longer resent, and when you see him, you will no longer resent." ”
The incense candle was extinguished, Gu Yuan got up, looked ahead, vaguely remembered the scene of the first time he saw the thatched hut that year, sighed at the impermanence of the world, and stepped on the guard of honor to return to the palace.
