Chapter 9 The Jade Death Fragrance

Previous Chapter

The struggles for power are dark and good at disguise.

If it weren't for the deafening sound of horses' hooves in the early morning, the people of Chang'an would not know that Da Sima and Gao'an Hou Dong Xian had quietly committed suicide last night. Wang Mang was furious when he got the news that night, and he wanted to interrogate this enemy who had made their Wang family have to stay away from the court. The captain who reported the news knelt on the ground tremblingly, wiping the beads of sweat from his face from time to time, although it was already the height of summer, and the night was already extremely hot, he still broke out in a cold sweat. He was on duty that night, and when he rushed in when he heard the cry, he happened to hear the last two lines of Mrs. Dong's poem.

There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. Encounters and encounters are suitable for me!

There is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang. Encounter and meet, and the son of Zang......

Wang Mang read these two lines of poetry, had an idea in his heart, and asked, "Are Dong Xian and his wife buried together?" ”

The lieutenant hurriedly replied: "Returning to Lord Sima, yes." The little one saw with his own eyes that the housekeeper of the Dong Mansion buried the two of them together in a coffin, and also painted cinnabar on the surface of the coffin, and carved the color of the four seasons, the left dragon, the right white tiger, with gold and silver sun and moon attached to it, and decorated with jade clothes and beads. ”

Wang Mang opened his mouth and said: "Spread the decree of the Empress Dowager, Dong Xianqi should be punished for his crimes, although he has committed suicide to apologize, but his coffin exceeded the etiquette system, and the coffin was opened and the corpse was killed, abandoned in the wilderness, and allowed the wild dogs to share the food." His father and brother were exempted from official duties and exiled, so go. ”

Jianzhang Palace, Taiye Pool.

Forty-four-year-old Zhao Feiyan staggered down the cobblestone path, a path that once felt so emotional, but today it is so difficult to give up.

A month ago, Emperor Liu Xin of the Han Dynasty died, and the former Empress Dowager Zhao Feiyan lost her last backer, and was edicted by the Empress Dowager, first demoted to Empress Xiaocheng, and then demoted to a concubine, and was forced to guard Emperor Cheng's mausoleum.

In the past, they used to travel on foot, but now they have become commoners, and they can only step on the hot cobblestones step by step under the guard of the captain.

I came to the Taiye Pool again, and saw the old Hegong Boat again. On that day, his beloved Emperor Cheng disregarded the majesty of the emperor and walked into Zhao Feiyan's bedroom happily, shouting again and again: "Empress, Empress!" Quick, go see something good with me! ”

When I arrived at the Taiye Pool, I saw a huge painting boat, and there was a more than 40-foot-high Yingzhou Pavilion on board. Emperor Cheng excitedly said to her, "Look, this is the gift I gave you, Hegong Zhou!" ”

That night, Emperor Cheng wore a "seamless shirt with a flowing wave of Wenhub", and he wore a "Yunying Purple Skirt" paid tribute by the Nanyue Kingdom.

Emperor Cheng looked at her affectionately: "Empress, dance for me." ”

The bright moonlight is full of fairy sleeves, and the stars are sweaty. The song "Return to the Wind and Send Away", the sheng and the song are ringing, the Luan Yu is chaotic, and Zhao Feiyan is dancing, just like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, fluttering like a fairy. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, her purple skirt flew happily, her long black hair flew up, and her long sleeves fluttered in the wind, and she was about to fly away.

Emperor Cheng was beating the beat with a jade ring, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly shouted: "Save the queen!" The squire Feng Wushuang threw away the musical instrument, stepped forward quickly, pressed her two feet with one hand, and grabbed her Yunying purple skirt with the other.

Since then, Emperor Cheng has fallen in love with her even more, and even built a "Qibao Wind Shelter" for her to perform exclusively for Zhao Feiyan.

Soon, it was rumored in the palace that Queen Zhao Feiyan could dance in the palm of her hand, dancing like a fairy. And her skirt, which was wrinkled by Feng Wushuang, turned out to be a popular style in the palace, called: "Liuxian Skirt".

Looking back at the Han dance back then, I was afraid of flying away, wrinkling and leaving the fairy skirt to fold. Falling in love with green shirts, still dyed with dry fragrance, and sighing for sideburns and snow. Coil

The dew is like lead water, and another night the west wind blows. I like to watch quietly, practice the autumn light, and pour the moon in half of the lake.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feiyan burst into tears. The emperor who loved her at the beginning had already passed away, and if he hadn't assisted Liu Xin to ascend the throne, he might have committed suicide by throwing himself into a well with his sister Zhao Hede six years ago. Although she later relied on Liu Xin to become the queen mother, she was also trembling. The flowers on the twelfth floor bowed their heads, and the deep palace was already in autumn. She knew that she could no longer be nostalgic for this world.

Lightly enlightened, Zhao Feiyan asked: "General, can you allow me to dance again, and I should repay Your Majesty back then." ”

The lieutenant nodded lightly and withdrew from the Qibao Wind Shelter in a playful manner.

The autumn wind rises and the sky is frosty, and the gentleman is unforgettable, and he is grateful for his generosity!

The sky fell and the frost soared wildly, and the immortals wanted to go to the Xifeiyun Township, and the jade palm was left behind.

Chivalrous according to the west wind, happy to soar into the sky. It's better to go both, extinct on the edge of the grassland. (Scorpio Killer)

On July 30 of the second year of Yuanshou (1 BC), Zhao Feiyan, the empress dowager of the Western Han Dynasty, committed suicide in the Taiye Pond at the age of 44, and was buried in Yanling after his death. A generation of beauties, since then the jade has died and the fragrance has disappeared.

On the same day, Liu Xin's empress Fu committed suicide.

On the first day of September in the second year of Yuanshou, Wang Mang supported the nine-year-old Zhongshan King Liu Jin, who was the emperor, for Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, Jin to Gaozu Temple, and granted amnesty to the world.

To clarify: This chapter is not for the sake of word count, but for feelings. When I was flipping through the historical materials, I saw the Qingqing between Zhao Feiyan and Emperor Han Cheng, and I couldn't help but be moved, but when I started writing carefully, I found that I couldn't write a single word. At this time, the song "Daughter's Love" came to mind, the king of the daughter country and Tang Seng are not Zhao Feiyan and Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty six hundred years later? So, I embellished a short poem with no name, and I would like to give it to Zhao Feiyan, one of the four beauties.

By asking who in the Han Palace is like, poor Feiyan leans on new makeup.
