Chapter 521: Ancient Mountain Bliss
Lan Ziyi said these words not only in a moment of anger, but in the next few days he smashed objects and pointed out others. The father and son of the enemy family did not dare to see Lan Ziyi again, as long as they got closer, they would be pulled out of the matter of writing a letter to Grandpa Long. The situation of the Tao brothers is not good, in the first few days, the three of them will find opportunities to serve Lan Ziyi every day, and take the opportunity to dissuade them, but Lan Ziyi does not allow the three of them at all, every time they meet, they quarrel, Lan Ziyi also specially repaired a book and sent it to Luoyan Pass, asking his father Lan Qianzhen to recall the three brothers of the Tao family.
After a few days like this, neither the Tao brothers nor the Qiu family father and son dared to come to Lan Ziyi's place again, only the servants waited for Lan Ziyi's life all day long.
It must have been a mess with Lan Ziyi's family, and after Lan Ziyi was belittled, things in the court went smoothly and without hindrance. The imperial court allowed King De to lead a team into the city, and the rewards for the meritorious soldiers were finally issued. The leader of this expedition is naturally Qi Rongxun, and his title was also added from the original Guannei Marquis to Tinghou, and he was given the title Mu, while Lan Ziyi was demoted from Tinghou to Guannei Marquis because of various "mistakes", and the title remained unchanged, and Lan Qianzhen was also implicated in this incident and was punished for three years. As for Zhang Yanwu, he only rewarded a false title of Yulin Zhonglang General, and he didn't even catch the marquis.
Lan Ziyi was naturally very dissatisfied with such a reward, and it is said that there were many people in the army who were upset with Lan Ziyi, but the rewards of the imperial court were generally fair, and the newly added to the Beijing army system was all the Eastern Army, so the sergeants also scolded the court, and it was okay to fight the mouth cannon, and no one planned to gather all the people to change.
It needs to be mentioned here that He Wenyu, who broke his leg as soon as he left Beijing, was actually promoted several levels, although he was not named a marquis, but he was rewarded quite realistically, and he was in the limelight for a while.
At the same time as the knighthood was given to the meritorious soldiers, the time of entering the city was also determined, and the final date was set on the seventh day of the seventh month of July.
Such an arrangement was meaningless to Lan Ziyi, not only meaningless, but also infuriating, because Lan Ziyi and Zhang Yanwu were not part of the escorts who entered the city, and they had no right to go to the noon gate with other soldiers to receive honors.
Thinking that he was born and died for a long time, but in the end he ended up empty, Lan Ziyi's mood was even worse, he couldn't sleep every night, no matter who was in the house, no one was allowed to mention things like Qixi Festival, celebrations, etc., if someone dared to commit it, it would inevitably make Lan Ziyi angry. And Lan Ziyi's temper has also become extremely perverse, completely lost his previous gentle and frugal appearance, and the servants around him will be beaten by Lan Ziyi if they make a little mistake, and the Tao brothers and the enemy father and son who could dissuade Lan Ziyi are now hiding aside and dare not show up, which leads to everyone in the whole house, these servants from Silla all want to return to Li Minchun's side, and no one is willing to stay in Luyuan anymore, if it weren't for Li Minchun's kind words to comfort him, I'm afraid the people around Lan Ziyi would have run out long ago.
As the days passed, Lan Ziyi's internal injuries gradually improved, but the injuries in his heart were difficult to heal. Lan Ziyi has been in a blur all these days, and the memories of the past have surged in his mind like fragments, which has made Lan Ziyi's thoughts completely confused, coupled with his increasingly serious insomnia, Lan Ziyi can no longer even adapt to the change of day and night.
What brought Lan Ziyi out of the chaos was his father's reply. When Lan Ziyi was still sick in bed, he had already repaired the book and asked his father to recall the Tao brothers, and after more than ten days, it was not until the fourth day of the seventh month, when it was close to entering the city, that Lan Qianzhen's reply was sent to the capital. In the letter, Lan Qianzhen did not mention the huge changes that happened in the capital and the implication that the Lan family received as a result, and as for Lan Ziyi's request to arrange the Tao family brothers and the father and son of the enemy family, Lan Qianzhen only said that Lan Ziyi made the final decision.
Lan Qianzhen mentioned in the letter that what Lan Ziyi did in the capital, Lan Qianzhen generally knew in the north, as his father, Lan Qianzhen still insisted on sending Lan Ziyi to Beijing, he believed in Lan Ziyi, and was willing to hand over the affairs of the capital to his son. Although the result of the expedition was not good, it was still within an acceptable range.
The only thing that made Lan Qianzhen focus on what he instructed was Lan Ziyi's spirit, and Lan Qianzhen saw that Lan Ziyi's tone was manic and suspicious of losing his heart. In this regard, Lan Qianzhen specifically suggested:
"In his early years as a proton in the capital, his father was also resentful and manic, but fortunately he was guided by the Zen master of Jiangbei Mountain, and he was enlightened and his heart was suddenly clear. If my son suffers from madness, he should go and see him. ”
When Lan Ziyi got the letter, it was already night, and his first reaction after reading the letter was that he wanted to go to the Tao brothers immediately and expel them from the Deer Park along with the father and son of the enemy family, and Lan Qianzhen's letter was an ultimatum. In Lan Ziyi's opinion, the brothers of the Tao family are becoming more and more presumptuous, obviously Lan Ziyi has arranged for them to expel the father and son of the enemy family, but these three brothers simply disobeyed the order, they hid the father and son of the Qiu family in the garden and did not let them leave. Obviously, the three brothers of the Tao family were estranged from the father and son of the enemy family before, why are they wearing a pair of pants now, this is the evidence of the presumptuous brothers of the Tao family.
But after thinking about it, Lan Ziyi calmed down a little, after all, the Tao brothers are good brothers who grew up with him, if Lan Ziyi really forced the Tao brothers into a desperate situation, it doesn't make sense to be reasonable.
Since he no longer has to deal with the Tao brothers, the only thing that deserves Lan Ziyi's attention in the letter is the matter of the Zen Master of Bliss.
After reading the letter and thinking about it for so long, it was already late, Lan Ziyi pushed open the window in front of the desk, and let the night sky flood into the room.
The sky is still pouring plum rain, in the house in the garden, there are either moldy or mushrooms growing in the corners, Lan Ziyi only feels that his mood is moldy and rotten together, he wants to empty himself, but there is no sky full of stars to illuminate the night road, this kind of grievance and confusion is really unbearable.
"Is that Bliss Zen Master really that godly?" Lan Ziyi couldn't help but muttered to himself. These days, Lan Ziyi has insomnia every night, and his manic mood is about to torture Lan Ziyi crazy, if there is really any Zen master who can be afraid to calm his mind, it is really a god.
As soon as he thought of being able to sleep peacefully again, Lan Ziyi couldn't fall asleep with excitement, and his drowsy head couldn't read, so he could only sit at his desk and watch the plum rain outside the window in a half-dream, so he did it until dawn.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Lan Ziyi couldn't wait to go out, he didn't care about familiarity, he didn't care about breakfast, he just asked the servants to prepare the horses, and then got on the horse and rushed to the street, straight to the north gate. It is now the fifth day of the seventh month, and it is about to come to the day when King De led his troops into Beijing, and the whole capital, regardless of official or private, every household is putting up lanterns, just waiting for the time to come, welcome the king, and scatter the lanterns.
But all this has nothing to do with Lan Ziyi, on the contrary, Lan Ziyi sees things and thinks about things, and seeing these things that shouldn't have makes his mood even worse. So he hurried to get out of the city as soon as possible, without being provoked.
The north gate of the capital is the water gate, the controller passes through the green river in the north of the city, when Lan Ziyi came to the water gate, the city gate has just opened, and the green river listens to all kinds of boats of all sizes, just waiting for a guest to come to the door, crossing the river.
Lan Ziyi came to the wharf, selected a small boat to carry him across the river, before getting on the boat, Lan Ziyi picked a few kinds of wine and food by the river to make breakfast, and after getting on the boat, Lan Ziyi sat alone in the warehouse, quietly feeling the waves swaying the boat, and crossing him leisurely across the river.
Xiaofang first entered the Mirror Lake after leaving Beijing, and after crossing the Mirror Lake, it entered the river. When he first left the city, there were many boats with him, and gradually, the other boats went their own way, and after entering the river, only Lan Ziyi was left.
The celibacy environment made Lan Ziyi relax for a while, and the delicious food and wine coupled with the scenery of the river and the drizzle like clouds and fog, Lan Ziyi intuitively traveled to the painting world. After a rare happy moment, Lan Ziyi naturally drank a lot, and by the time Xiaofang came to the north shore, Lan Ziyi was already a little drunk. He rewarded the boatman with a silver tael, led the horse off the boat, and then got on the horse with a slight sway, flicked the whip, and went leisurely.
According to what Lan Qianzhen said in the letter, he didn't know that the mountain was across the river from the capital, but Lan Ziyi walked for a long time after crossing the river but didn't even see the shadow of the mountain. When Lan Ziyi was wondering, an old man riding a bull suddenly came in front of the road, the old man was carrying a fish basket and a hat, and the eaves of the hat were pressed very low, and the low Lan Ziyi couldn't see the old man's face clearly, but this did not prevent Lan Ziyi from asking for directions. Seeing that Lan Ziyi stopped on the side of the road and bowed his hand to the old man:
"Old man, dare to ask if you don't know how to go to the mountain."
When the old man saw Lan Ziyi stop his horse and ask questions, he didn't slow down, raised his head, and didn't stop, but just waved his hand and pointed out a mountain from the sea of clouds, mountains and fog.
Although Lan Ziyi was unhappy with the old man's attitude, as long as the road pointed out, Lan Ziyi's purpose would be achieved, so Lan Ziyi hugged his fists again and said "thank you" and urged the horse to go out.
Lan Ziyi and the old man walked away from their backs, and after urging the horse to walk a few steps, Lan Ziyi heard the old man behind him sing:
"The dragon travels all over the world and has nowhere to live, where will Feng Zeliang and Muxi live?
Er Mi Tu Xi asked who the way, the north returned to the south to Xi idealism.
In the next life, the royal road is slowly far away, how can it not be reluctant? Go, go! “
Lan Ziyi was shocked when he heard this, and turned around to find the old man again, but behind him there was only a thick fog and a way to return.
