Chapter 56: Peach Blossoms
"Madam, it's not good, the old general Mao Buwei and the scholar Jia Shouyi died in the Jinluan Palace yesterday, the emperor vomited blood on the spot, and the ministers didn't dare to retreat, so they woke up today."
Lu Jiang, the loyal general, returned to the mansion and said to Jia Taohua, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
"What?"
Jia Taohua felt a thunderbolt directly smash her into confusion, and stood there, muttering like a walking corpse: "The old general and brother are dead?" The old general and his brother died? ”
Then he suddenly came back to his senses and asked this Lu Jiang: "What happened?" ”
Lu Jiang picked up the teacup and drank the water cup after cup, feeling unpleasant, he opened it directly to his mouth, and waited for a day and a night in fear, not a drop of water, and he felt more tired than the three days and three nights of the war.
"Speak quickly!" Jia Taohua shouted.
"Madame, slow ......"
Lu Jiang was holding the teapot and drinking it tons, and the tea lid had long since disappeared.
"Speak quickly!"
Jia Taohua roared again, with some crying in her voice, and slapped the teapot in Lu Jiang's hand with one hand.
"Madame...... Hey, this matter has to start with the arrival of the envoy of the Di people...... The result of the negotiation between the Di envoy and the emperor was to cede Beilin City to the Di tribe in order to form permanent neighbors and help each other. ”
"Your Majesty also agreed to this matter, but I and the scholars and the people of the faction argued with reason, but with little success."
Lu Jiang gasped.
"The old general Mao even re-ascended the Jinluan Palace, saying 'the heavens are faint, the emperor is mediocre, the luck is declining, and the Great Qi will fall', and finally vomited blood and died......"
Saying that, he looked at his wife's reaction and continued, "The scholar watched the old general Mao die, wat fell on the golden dragon chair, hit the golden pillar, and died in the Jinluan Hall with the old general. His Majesty also vomited blood because of this. ”
"Faint King!"
Jia Taohua roared angrily, so frightened that Lu Jiang hurriedly stood up.
"The old general is right, 'The heavens are faint, the emperor is mediocre, the luck is declining, and the Great Qi will fall.'" It's a pity that my brother has talent and ambition, but he has such an emperor, I want to be a literary prison back then, Luoshan City was directly slaughtered, such a person, how to be the emperor of all people, the sky is unfair! ”
"Madam, these words will be said to me, and don't say them in front of outsiders."
Lu Jiang hurriedly covered Jia Taohua's mouth.
"What, are you afraid, or do you think there is any hope for this emperor? Don't worry, I, Jia Taohua, am not an ignorant person, and I know what to say and what not to say. ”
Jia Taohua looked at him coldly and said.
"Hey"
Lu Jiang shook his head weakly, he knew that this was Jia Taohua venting his anger, he was in the Jinluan Palace with Jia Shouyi and Mao Buwei at that time, but he didn't protect the two and didn't intercede for the two, Jia Taohua must hate himself now.
The news of the death of General Mao and Scholar Jia quickly spread.
A few days later, in two quiet places, there was a new grave, one for the old general and the other for the scholar Jia.
There is a small river in front of the grave of the old general, and from time to time there are one or two peach blossoms floating in the river, and in front of it are patches of newly cultivated farmland.
"Madame, no." Xiao Han cried and begged the old woman on the side.
"Xiaohan, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
The old woman comforted softly, and Bai Aya had already hung a branch.
There is a large area of peach blossoms here, and a large field in front of it has been the property of the old woman when she was young, so she often comes here to relax, and it is here that she first meets the young Mao Buwei.
At that time, she was sixteen and he was twenty-one, and at that time, Mao Buwei would be a "run away, scorching its glory." She couldn't even memorize the whole poem, and she made fun of it because of it.
She is Guang Huanting.
At that time, her father also knew about him and her, and he was a good man who defended his family and the country.
Her father had no objection to their development, but he said that he would marry her in a dignified manner.
At that time, he was twenty-three, she was eighteen, she agreed, and at the same time soon met Feng Fei, who was serving as Shangshu Zuo Shilangzhong.
Who knew that it would take seven years, and the last two years were not heard from at all.
At that time, she was twenty-five, and her father finally began to urge marriage, and finally she and Feng Fei finally got together.
When he was successful and rushed back to Kyoto, just in time for her wedding to Feng Fei, her father saw him and took him to hide in the crowd.
She covered her head, he couldn't see her, she couldn't see him, her father told him he was late, he couldn't help but be great, but everything was for her happiness.
I'm sorry to bother, but I just hope I don't bother for the rest of my life.
Her feelings for him have never changed, but she promised Feng Fei a promise for this life, even if Feng Fei is dead, it is not easy to keep it.
Now that Mao Buwei is dead, she can also accompany Mao Buwei, and complete the agreement between her and Feng Fei and Mao Buwei, Feng Fei couldn't rest assured that she couldn't leave her before he died, and after accompanying him for so long, Feng Fei was already satisfied.
"Madame"
Xiao Han cried and shouted, the old woman smiled like a flower, the bonus was not as good as the person, and she bent her waist to herself, as if she was still the girl at the beginning, and the two came to the end where they first met.
After the sky cleared, on the bank of the Taolin River, these two tombs stood quietly, only the sound of the murmuring of the river, which was the whisper that the two of them were talking about in the future.
Emperor Xu Diwei has been staring blankly at the roof since he woke up, staring blankly at the roof, not saying a word, motionless all day, and refusing to eat.
The cook in the imperial dining room outside the palace knelt on the ground, and the imperial doctors were also waiting in the emperor's bedroom, and the prince ordered that if the emperor could not be restored, everyone would be punished.
After a day, the emperor finally reacted, sighed softly, and asked without looking at everyone with his eyes closed: "What happened to Scholar Jia Shouyi and General Mao Buwei?" ”
The eldest prince hurriedly rushed to the emperor's dragon bed and bowed his body, and when he heard the emperor's name for Jia Shouyi and Mao Buwei, he knew that he had made the right bet.
Several other princes also stood aside respectfully, and the third prince looked at the eldest prince who stepped forward, and raised his eyebrows lightly under his lowered head, revealing a ruthless color.
"Back to my father, the sons and sons are good at making claims, and the bodies of Scholar Jia and General Mao have been taken away by General Zhongwu, and the funeral has been arranged."
"Erchen speculated about his father's holy will without authorization, although his father said in the Jinluan Palace that there were scholars and old generals, but Erchen thought that this was just his father's angry words."
After the eldest prince finished speaking, he stopped speaking, stood quietly in front of the bed, and carefully watched the emperor's reaction.
The emperor fell silent again, closed his eyes, breathed steadily, as if he was asleep, and spoke for a long time: "You did the right thing this time, can you go to visit?" ”
Sweat suddenly broke out on the forehead of the eldest prince. said softly: "My father is unconscious, and my sons and ministers dare not leave, and they have never come." ”
Xu Diwei didn't know what they were thinking, and shook his head helplessly.
"Good students arrange their funeral."
He stretched out his hand and waved.
"Go down too."
