Chapter 5: Passing on the throne and retreating, you must be wise and foolish, and you will be able to ascend to the immortal and be feathered
However, it was said that after Sanniang passed on the crown prince Hu Zongming, she immediately took Zhao Huanhuan, Song Yulian, Li Shishi and other daughters to leave Yanjing, and Yan Qing was accompanied by Yan Qing. Yan Qing was already the commander of the Great Internal Forbidden Army at this time, and he was in charge of the Janissaries inside and outside Yanjing, which could not be said to be a high position, Sanniang also wanted Yan Qing to stay to assist the prince, but Yan Qing seemed to be tired, he also wanted to retire, and more importantly, he decided to leave with Master Li.
So, Sanniang was not reluctant, Sanniang handed over the Praetorian Guard to Mu Hong, Mu Hong, Mu Chun two brothers have been serving as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, deputy commander, until the seventh year of the martial arts, Mu Hong said goodbye to the old and returned to the field, then returned to Jiangzhou's hometown to live for a long time, and also got a good death.
Sanniang and her entourage left Yanjing when the sky was slightly bright, and they did not alarm anyone, and Sanniang only informed Lu Junyi of one. At the south gate of Yanjing, Lu Junyi said goodbye to Sanniang at the south gate alone.
Looking at Lu Junyi's gray hair, Sanniang couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, you won't blame me for being willful again." Lu Junyi shook his head with a smile and said: "There are not many people who can be convinced in the life of senior brother, junior sister, you are the second, and the first one is naturally the master and his old man." At this time, we worked hard to build a new dynasty, the Great Yuan Dynasty is like the sun, the senior sister is willing to retreat bravely at this time, and the senior brother is actually very admired. It's just that this trip is about to use troops against Tubo, doesn't the junior sister plan to pacify Tubo before leaving? ”
Sanniang shook her head with a smile and said: "Zong Ming, this kid is heroic and wise, he is already eighteen years old, there are some things that I can't do, leave Tubo and let Zong Ming conquer, so that he can sit in the position of emperor faster." There are also Fusang, and Xiliao, and the wider world to the west will wait for Zong Ming to conquer, I am just a guide, and it depends on him how to go next. The young eagle always has to spread its wings to fly high, and it can't shelter under my wings for a lifetime. ”
Lu Junyi smiled and didn't speak, Sanniang sighed and said: "Actually, more importantly, Zong Ming is eighteen years old, and both inside and outside the government and the opposition are looking forward to me, the empress, being able to pass on the throne to him as soon as possible, although there is no obvious voice, but this undercurrent always exists." ”
Lu Junyi sighed slightly: "Although my sister is a heroine among women, and she can be the emperor after some hard work, the world always thinks that women are in power and lose the face of men all over the world. Zong Ming was not yet an adult before, this undercurrent can still be suppressed, as Zong Ming gets bigger and bigger, the pressure on the junior sister will also increase, and if it is not good, it will cause an estrangement with Zong Ming, so the junior sister simply took advantage of the current Zen position to retire and return the government to Zong Ming, which can be regarded as returning the imperial power to orthodoxy, or by the manhood of Zong Ming to be the emperor. ”
Sanniang smiled: "Senior brother still knows me." Lu Junyi nodded and said: "Senior brother's decision, senior brother will definitely support it, senior brother admires senior sister's freedom the most, can afford it, can let it go, and never cherish power." Sanniang blinked and said: "Please also ask the senior brother to work hard for a few more years, and after Zong Ming has secured his seat, can the senior brother tell the old man to return to the field?" Lu Junyi smiled slightly: "This is natural, junior sister doesn't have to worry." ”
After a pause, Lu Junyi asked again: "Senior sister retreats, is there a place to go?" Sanniang said: "The world is big, you can go anywhere, senior brother doesn't have to look for me in the future, I want to learn from the master and hide between heaven and earth." Lu Junyi laughed and said, "Senior sister, take care!" The two said goodbye in tears in laughter, Lu Junyi told Yan Qing to take care of Sanniang, and then Sanniang and his party got on the horse and went south. After that, Lu Junyi supported Hu Zongming to ascend the throne, and also served as a trusted minister until the eighth year of Jiwu before returning to his hometown, and died in the Daimyo Mansion.
Sanniang left like this, Hu Zongming read the book that Sanniang left him, cried and worshiped on the ground, and finally the ministers helped him sit on the throne, and the Great Yuan Dynasty began to conquer the world under Hu Zongming.
Sanniang and her entourage went south and first went to Shuibo Liangshan in Shandong. Sanniang went to the top of the Jade Emperor alone and went to worship the tomb of Chao Gai. In front of the tomb, Sanniang was drunk, stroked the tombstone and said with a smile: "Brother Baozheng, I did it, I became the emperor, opened up a new dynasty, the corrupt court of the Zhao and Song dynasties was replaced by me, I didn't lose one of the brothers, everyone has a good future, I didn't live up to your expectations, I didn't feel sorry for the brothers......"
"Are you lonely down there alone? I sometimes feel lonely when I'm up there. Sanniang muttered drunk words in front of Chao Gai's tomb: "When you died, I never agreed to marry you, will you blame me?" If I didn't have memories of my past life, maybe it wouldn't be so painful, and sometimes I wonder, am I a man or a woman? Or is it a monster who is neither male nor female? ”
When I was mourning, I heard a person behind me singing: "Although the body is a daughter, the heart is a strong man's heart, a heroine, the liver and gall are better than the eyebrows, dare to shoulder the heavy responsibility, soft and strong, when the tears are like alcohol swallowed, strong and arrogant, not afraid of bitter rain and frost, don't ask for love, don't ask for love, no longer look for the past, let Huijian, wave away the regret in my heart, go alone, come alone, laugh and talk about things in the wind, never spit out the sad sound of the old days, not in vain daughter, glorious heart, women's arms, there are sky-high dry clouds, one body to bear the responsibility, Qianqiu also left me Qingyin." ”
Sanniang turned around, but saw that on the way to the Jade Emperor, Gongsun Sheng came with a song, and looked at himself and laughed when he arrived in front of him. Sanniang was slightly stunned and said, "Where did the Taoist come from?" After I ascended the throne, the Taoist chief drifted away, and I couldn't find it, and I didn't know where I went. ”
Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "A person who has turned into an outsider, how can he be nostalgic for the world after he has retired?" I came here today because my fate with my wife is not over. Sanniang also smiled and said, "The Taoist is still so good at playing dumb riddles." By the way, why did the Taoist chief sing this song? ”
Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "When the master was in Kaifeng, I heard a girl sing, so I knew it." That girl is Sanniang, but so? Sanniang bowed her head slightly and said: "When I left home when I was young, I felt nostalgic for my life experience, so I sang this song." ”
After Gongsun Sheng bowed to Chao Gai's tomb for a few respects, he got up and said: "Shicai Sanniang's words, the old Taoist listened, in fact, Sanniang doesn't have to worry about the past and present, everything is good, why bother whether you are a man or a woman?" Chao Tianwang is arrogant, in fact, he knew that Sanniang would not marry him sincerely, but he still guarded you wholeheartedly, and he was also insisting on his heart. It's to Sanniang, you don't have to worry about anything, everything is with fate, everything is with your heart. Sanniang, you respect the will of heaven, obey the hearts of the people, set the destiny of the stars, change the dynasty, save the people from fire and water, and take into account the righteousness of the brothers, loyalty and righteousness, and have done a good job, why bother with the way to come and go? ”
Gongsun Sheng's words made Sanniang's heart suddenly brighten, and she smiled: "It's still the Taoist who can see it through, I understand." I am me, and Sanniang is Sanniang. Gongsun Sheng said with a smile: "Shizun has always said that Sanniang has Huigen, and sure enough, I came here today to lead Sanniang to see Shizun, I wonder if Sanniang is willing to follow Shizun's cultivation to escape the world?" ”
Sanniang applauded, and immediately left a book in front of the tomb, and then drifted away with Gongsun Sheng, and I don't know where he went.
Yan Qing and others waited at the bottom of the mountain for a long time and did not see Sanniang come down the mountain, when they went up the mountain to see, they saw a book, Huan Huan, Yulian and other women read the letter, only to see that Sanniang wrote that he went with Gongsun Sheng's cultivation, and everyone should not read Yunyun.
After reading the letter, the women all cried loudly, they didn't understand why Sanniang was so decisive, but fortunately, there was Yan Qing, after persuading for a long time, the women gradually calmed down, came down the mountain, and settled down in Jeju first.
After staying for a few days, Yan Qing decided to take the daughters to Jizhou, thinking that since Sanniang went to Gongsun Sheng's cultivation, she would definitely go to Erxian Mountain, so she went to Erxian Mountain in Jizhou. But I didn't want to go to Erxian Mountain in Jizhou, but I couldn't find Sanniang.
The girls were melancholy, so they lived in Hujiazhuang, Song Yulian followed Sanniang for a long time, and Hujiazhuang was her second home. The daughters have lived in Hujiazhuang for more than a year, and the daughters of Yulian and Huanhuan have gone to Erxian Mountain every month, but they have not been able to wait for Sanniang to return to Erxian Mountain, and the women are very sad.
After waiting for three years, the girls gradually calmed down, Huan Huan decided to go to Erxian Mountain to cultivate, and finally became a female Taoist priest in Erxian Mountain, and since then she has devoted herself to cultivation and has lived until she is more than ninety years old.
Li Shishi married Yan Qing, and Yan Qing has been living in Hujiazhuang, the two of them are happy in the village, full of children and grandchildren, and they also have a good death. Yulian is the second saint of the White Lotus Sect, has been touring the Quartet, using Sanniang to teach her medical skills, giving medicine everywhere, spreading the teachings, while looking for the whereabouts of Sanniang, but there has been no trace of Sanniang, and then Song Yulian has been serving as the saint of the White Lotus Sect, until she is more than 70 years old, and finally old at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, the Quartet Sect is grateful for its virtue, and many temples have been built for Yulian to commemorate.
But he said that Sanniang left a book and ran away that day, and she walked in a chic and decisive way, so on the way, Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but ask: "Why did you go so decisively?" What about your confidantes? Sanniang sighed and said: "I have delayed them for a long time, I can't give them a completed life, I don't want to delay them for a lifetime, the absolute decision is a good thing for them." ”
Gongsun Sheng smiled and said: "Since ancient times, the harmony of yin and yang can breed all things, as the so-called solitary yin does not grow, and the solitary yang does not grow, Sanniang can understand this, it seems that your cultivation is on a higher level." ”
Then Sanniang and Gongsun Sheng traveled all over the world, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and received an apprentice named Wang Chongyang, Sanniang handed over his own skills to Wang Chongyang, and then Wang Chongyang built a Quanzhen Sect in Zhongnan Mountain, carrying forward the essence of Taoism.
After Sanniang taught Wang Chongyang for a few years, he drifted away again, but this trip was to go overseas and spread the word of Taoist cultivation everywhere, until he was more than 100 years old, Sanniang still looked like he was only in his fifties. Hu Zongming, who was far away in Yanjing, only because he had no news of his mother, and he didn't know his mother's life and death, was that even if he sat as the emperor, he had always respected Sanniang as the emperor, and did not have a nickname, until Hu Zongming was about to die of illness, he issued an edict, admitting that Sanniang had died, and posthumously respected Sanniang as the empress of women, and the temple name was Taizu.
In fact, when Hu Zongming died of illness, Sanniang had not passed away, and the following year, Sanniang returned to the island where Chen Liqing was buried, and sat quietly for three days in front of Chen Liqing's ice coffin. In this sky, the purple qi came from the east, and Sanniang sensed the aura of the weather, so in front of the ice coffin, she feathered and ascended to the immortal, and since then it has been extinct in the world......
