Chapter 566: Elope Together
Three months later.
In the palace of Samad in the Jokhang Wu Kingdom, an edict was officially issued: a ceremony will be held on the second day of February next year, and the Queen of the New Moon will cede the throne to the cabinet chief assistant Wuzhao; Samad, the capital of the Jokhang Martial Kingdom, built a city and renamed it "Crescent City", and the queen of the Crescent Moon after the abdication served as the lord of Crescent City, enjoying 500 households.
This news was released more than half a year in advance, and it was also for the convenience of the city lords under the Zhaowu Kingdom to have time to participate in the celebration, and also to facilitate other neighboring countries to exchange news and meet to celebrate.
In fact, the queen of the Jokhang Wu Kingdom has long been determined to be Wu Meiniang, but it is only because the kingdom was initially decided, and the Queen of the Crescent Moon went to Chang'an and took a lot of time to make a round trip, so it has been delayed so far. It was precisely in this year's time that Wu Meiniang, the first auxiliary minister, completely mastered all the real power of Zhaowu State through a series of tricks and the solid backing of the Tang Dynasty.
After the Zhao Decree was issued, Mingzhu finally took a long breath and fell to the ground in his heart. Since the day King Kang was killed, she has not been easy. Now, I can finally be an ordinary woman, husband and children, and enjoy a peaceful life.
The newly born twin daughters have become the pearls of the Qin family. Although Mingzhu grew up in a foreign land, she is a typical traditional woman in the Central Plains, gentle, graceful, filial piety and humility. In addition, she is the sister of the demon and looks exactly like the demon child, the Qin family accepted her at the first time and got along very well.
After Qin Mubai's family came to Samujian, they temporarily lived in Wu Meiniang's prime minister's mansion. Mingzhu was already happy to be able to accompany her children and families, so she moved out of the palace and gave the king's bedroom to Wu Meiniang, who was busy with government affairs, so that she could have a place to rest.
As soon as Wu Meiniang got busy, it was common for her not to go home for six or seven days. So Qin Mubai repeatedly played the role of a disciple of the "flower thief", often sneaking into the palace in the dead of night and having a tryst with Wu Meiniang.
Afterwards, he felt that it seemed very exciting!
The days, carefree day by day, slipped quietly. In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived, and the Qin family has gone to the palace to feast and admire the moon. Originally, the family was still happy and happy, but Princess Gaoyang, who had drunk a few glasses of wine, suddenly sobbed in a low voice.
Qin Mubai and the others hurriedly came to comfort her and asked her what was wrong.
Princess Gao Yang stopped her tears and said in a low voice, "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered my father and mother who were far away in Chang'an...... The Mid-Autumn Festival is full, are they also admiring the moon in the imperial garden? ”
As soon as he spoke, everyone was silent.
Chen Yan gently touched Qin Mubai with her elbow from the side, he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, don't say something unhappy." Mingzhu, why don't you play the pipa and you will stroke the piano, okay? ”
"Okay!" Mingzhu happily agreed, and asked the palace maid to fetch the Central Plains pipa and the Persian gonghou.
"I taught you the song "I Wish People Were Long", do you remember?" Qin Mubai asked while holding the pipa.
"Yes." Mingzhu replied with a smile, "How can you not remember such a song?" It is the full moon today, and it is also appropriate. ”
"Okay, let's start - Mei Niang, your singing voice is the most beautiful, why don't you just ask you to sing?" Qin Mubai said.
Wu Meiniang smiled, "The husband has an order, how dare the concubine disobey?" ”
The whole family laughed. Wu Meiniang is already the quasi-queen of the Jokhang Wu Kingdom, and when she returns home, she is still so humorous and has no shelf.
The pipa and gonghou sounded, and Wu Meiniang's ethereal and tactful voice sang-
"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know what year the heavenly palace is, what year is it in the past......"
Wonderful music, like a heavenly sound. The Qin family was obsessed with it, and even the thoughts and thoughts of the full moon could be listened to, and they were neither noisy nor crying.
Outside the high walls of the palace, a ride just came to a stop. Immediately, there was a simple Taoist aunt, who heard the music and singing from inside through the city wall, and was stunned on the spot.
"This is "I Wish People Were Long"! …… Mu Bai, Mei Niang, are you here today? ”
The ghost sent the gods, she took out a jade flute, and played it together.
Qin Mubai, who was playing the music with all his heart, felt a high-pitched abnormal sound protruding from the music, and suddenly his fingers stopped. The whole family, who was fascinated, was stunned, and Wu Meiniang and Mingzhu also stopped.
"What's wrong?" The crowd asked.
"Listen! - Someone outside the wall plays this song with the sound of a flute! Qin Mubai's eyes suddenly widened, "Snow Goose! It's the snow geese back! ”
"Then you don't go out to find someone!" Princess Gaoyang hurriedly said, "She has been to Persia for more than a year, and she finally came back today." Mu Bai, you can't fail my imperial sister, otherwise I'll make you look good! ”
Liu also said: "Yes, San Lang, you and Princess Wencheng's affairs are also known to your mother." If it weren't for you, she would have either been in front of her lord by now, or she would have been married to Zampu's wife. For you, she suffered all the ridicule of the world, and she escaped into the empty door to become a Taoist aunt - how can you bear it? ”
"I'm going to find her!" Qin Mubai put down the pipa and rushed towards the outside of the palace.
Under the city wall, Li Xueyan blew a song, slowly put down the jade flute, looked up at the moon, and whispered: "Master, it was a stubborn and unfilial disciple who caused you to take me on a journey to Persia, and finally died in a foreign land." Now the only thing the apprentice can do is to transfer the things you left to Qin Mubai to him, and then bring your ashes back to Zhongnan Mountain for burial...... Mu Bai, if there is fate, we will meet again! - Drive! ”
Riding in the dust, running forward under the bright moonlight.
Qin Mubai ran out of the palace all the way, and happened to see a horse drifting away, only catching a hazy figure, and soon disappeared under the moonlight.
"Snow Goose, why are you avoiding me?" Qin Mubai had no choice but to stand still, leaning against the wall and panting wildly, "Are you ...... Still can't think about it? ”
Just when Qin Mubai was sweating profusely and couldn't breathe, a palace guard stepped forward, handed Qin Mubai a cloth bag, and said, "Young Marshal Qin, just now a Daoist aunt left this thing, saying that she wanted to hand it over to you. ”
"Oh?" Qin Mubai hurriedly took it and opened it to see that it was a sandalwood wooden box. When I opened the wooden box, there was a book with a blank cover and a letter. There were a few words on the envelope, "Young Marshal Qin personally opened".
It is Yuan Tiangang's handwriting.
Qin Mubai hurriedly opened the letter and read it, this was a unique letter from Yuan Tiangang. It turned out that he knew that Shouyuan was about to die in Persia, so in the last bit of his life, he deduced "Tui Bei Tu" again. However, without the assistance of his junior brother Li Chunfeng, the deduction may not be very accurate, and the number of years in the future will not be as good as the last time.
"This nameless book is actually a new push back picture?" Qin Mubai was suddenly surprised, so he hurriedly opened and turned a few pages, but his expression gradually became confused - "Why are they all obscure proverbs and inexplicable pictures?" …… Hey, I understand this sentence, saying that I am the general of the Qin family, the west of Yongzhen, and the seventeenth of Fushou. ”
"It means that by the time my descendant is the eighteenth generation, our Qin family's throne will not be able to be kept?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile, "Eighteenth, how many years has it been?" ”
"Life is a life, grass and trees are bright. It's good to be able to take on the life before you die. There have been so many princes and generals in history and the founding emperors that they could not ensure that their descendants would have smooth sailing. I, Qin, have only worked hard for a few years, and I have secured the glory and wealth of the eighteenth descendants, and I should be content. Thinking of this, Qin Mubai suddenly laughed out loud, "That means that at least in the eighteenth life of my Qin family, Datang should also be safe and sound!" - What empress ruled, Anshi Rebellion, Tubo invasion, Chang'an fall, let them all hell! ”
"I'm someone Qin, I haven't lived in vain in this life!"
"Because, the entire Tang Dynasty, the entire era, and the entire nation have eloped with me!"
Wu Meiniang and the others also went out of the palace at this time, and they were all stunned to see Qin Mubai in the distance standing alone in the moonlight, holding a book and smirking insolently.
"Mu Bai, what's wrong?"
"What's he yelling about? What elopement? ”
Chen Yan couldn't help but smile, "Gao Yang, he's talking about you!" Say you eloped with him. ”
"Humph!" Princess Gaoyang gritted her silver teeth hatefully, if it weren't for the presence of Qin's mother, Shun You'er's string of "stinky men from the thief military academy" would have been scolded.
Only Wu Meiniang smiled slightly and said nothing. Because she is the only one, I have heard Qin Mubai talk about "Pushing Back Pictures". Now I vaguely heard Qin Mubai shouting there, "The empress rules the world and the Anshi Rebellion...... It's all hell", she couldn't help but think in her heart: Mu Bai's heart still fell on Datang after all. Although he has been thousands of miles away, he is still concerned about the future of the Tang Dynasty and China. However, seeing that he is happy to be like this, it is estimated that he has already gained some insight into the heavens, and he knows that the future of Datang should be good.
When everyone was suspicious, Qin Mubai suddenly started a fire and burned the book in his hand.
"Mu Bai, don't!" Wu Meiniang exclaimed in surprise, "This is Yuan Tianshi's hard work!" ”
Qin Mubai clapped his hands, stood up and said with a smile: "Of course I know that this is Yuan Tianshi's hard work, didn't I burn it and return it to him?" - Mei Niang, in fact, what the future will be, it doesn't matter if you know it or not. ”
Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment and was speechless.
Qin Mubai stepped forward and hugged her shoulders and said, "Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng said that I am a demon star in troubled times, and I can change my life against the sky. The fates of Datang and Huaxia have changed because of me. No, he re-extrapolated the back diagram and rehearsed the future history. What's the point? Maybe one day there will be another demon star, and he will change his life again, aren't these just nonsense? - Besides, if everything in this book is already immutable, then there is no need for us to know it. ”
Wu Meiniang suddenly smiled brightly, "I'm just curious to take a look." If you insist on destroying it, you will destroy it, I don't care! If we live for a day, we will do what we do today. Tomorrow has its own plan for tomorrow, and children and grandchildren have their own destiny. If you know the end of everything, life will become dull and boring, as if waiting for death! ”
"Mei Niang, you are still so wise." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "A thousand years is too long, just seize the day." As long as we live each day well and have a clear conscience, it is enough. As for what future generations will say about us, and what kind of blessings and misfortunes will come to our descendants, that's all their business. ”
Wu Meiniang smiled happily: "That's right, a thousand years later, you and I have long since turned to dust, who can remember whom?" Now at this moment, you and I are embracing each other, which is both a fact and an eternity, and that is enough! ”
