198, Life is Like a Dream (Finale)
readx; "Zhao Kongfeng, Guhu Clan, can you be convicted?" Zhao Fangyin, who was sitting on the beheading platform, looked at the two people in the audience, and there was unprecedented hatred in his eyes.
The two people who were placed on the board disdained this, spat a mouthful, and the bone pot said disdainfully: "Hahahahaγγγγγγ Nowadays, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, what else is there to say, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it. β
Zhao Fangyin was also unambiguous, a chop fell, and the knife fell, it should have been a place of bloody and pitiful, but because of the intervention of the two of them, the surrounding people cheered, and for a while, it seemed that the whole country was celebrating, and everyone was excited.
And the prince, who was standing on the stage, nodded silently, stood up, and walked off the stage without saying a word.
Over the years, the people have really suffered, Zhao Kongfeng's ascension to the throne, for several years, harsh taxation, extensive money, but where there is a slight mistake, it will be punished with capital punishment, the people are full of mourning, but no one dares to speak, now, when the former prince returns, the people are jubilant, now, they really know that the original happiness, hard to come by.
γγγγγγ
"Father, my son has come to see you." Zhao Fangyin walked gently to his father's bed, and when he saw his father's emaciated figure, he gasped, and in his calm eyes, two lines of turbid tears slowly lay down.
Zhao Yongqian, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes weakly, and when he found that the person in front of him was his eldest son, his body shook, and he raised his hands tremblingly, stroking the face of the proudest son, "Yin'er, Yin'er, is it really you?" β
Seeing that his father was able to touch his face, Zhao Fangyin was very excited, and grabbed his hands hard, "Father, it's a son, it's a son!" β
Looking at the son in front of him, Zhao Yongqian's emaciated old face couldn't help crying anymore, the tears clouded his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it, he looked at each other, and after a long time, he breathed a long sigh of relief, "Yin'er, you finally forgave your father, right?" Forgive my father for not telling you the real truth, and complain... Ahem... Just blame me for not having the guts to tell you the truth. β
"Father ... Father, son... Erchen doesn't complain about you, you get better soon, this Great Song is no longer harmful, my ability is not enough, this Great Song still needs your support! Zhao Fangyin put his father's hands on his chest, and he was teary-eyed, and his words were already intermittent, as if these words could no longer express the emotions in his heart.
Zhao Yongqian, who was lying on the bed, sighed silently, and after a long time, he still didn't speak, but the hands were at that moment, he had no strength, and the whole person seemed to be empty.
Zhao Fangyin couldn't believe it, when he put the trembling hand in front of his nose, Zhao Fangyin couldn't help crying loudly, this sound shook the sky, but it alarmed the guards outside the doorγγγγγγ
The next day, the entire majestic palace, hung with white silk, Zhao Yongqian, who had been aggrieved all his life, died at this moment, although there are still many things to do in his life, but, in his eyes, there is the forgiveness of his most beloved son, which is enough.
For a whole month, the entire Great Song Dynasty, the front of the house was full of white silk, and they all knew that the previous emperor had passed away, and now, this Great Song Dynasty is really going to change its appearance and usher in a new atmosphere.
Sitting on the top of the main hall, in the past month, Zhao Fangyin's face has not seen the slightest joy, when everyone has come out of the sadness, Zhao Fangyin is alone, gloomy and sad to review the folds, this batch of reading, is late at night.
"Wechen implores the crown prince to ascend the throne for the benefit of the people!" Just before the retreat, Zhao Xuan walked straight to the center of the stage, although his face was still with a face, but the anxious face could be seen by anyone.
And at this moment, seeing that the prince didn't say anything, those civil and military ministers seemed to understand something, and knelt on the ground one after another, "Weichen implores the prince to ascend the throne and benefit the people!" β
Zhao Fangyin, who was sitting on the stage, looked at the people in the audience, there was a little confusion in his eyes, after a long time, his eyes returned to clear, he got up and stood on the dragon platform, laughing wildly, after a long time, his eyes were firm, "Okay!" β
γγγγγγ
The palace was busy all over the place, today, it was the enthronement ceremony of their crown prince, and they didn't expect that so many things would happen when this day came, but they were not surprised, because they had long been able to think that the next emperor would be him.
Walking in the corridor in the palace, Zhao Fangyin's face was full of smugness and smiles, and behind him, Zhao Xuan, Sun Feng, Li Ren, and Gu Dahong walked behind him peacefully.
When Zhao Xuan knew that the black clothes were Li Ren, he found him without saying a word, and Li Ren also understood what Zhao Xuan meant, and took off the black veil, revealing his true face.
A few days ago, in the East Palace, when Zhao Xuan originally wanted to talk to the prince about something, he saw a person sitting there talking to the prince, and when he stepped forward, Zhao Xuan suddenly found that that person was not his enlightenment teacher Gu Dahong? When the master and apprentice met, their eyes were red, "poof", Zhao Xuan knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to him three times, and he gladly accepted it, that night, the three of them talked a lot together, until the night was dark, and Zhao Xuan was blown away in a laugh and scolding, and Zhao Xuan, who came out, smiled and walked towards his mansionγγγγγγ
"The new emperor ascends the throne, from now on, change the name of the year to Kaishun, the whole country, celebrate for three days, amnesty all prisoners released, I hope he will be grateful to Dade, and there will be more goodness on the same day, and hundreds of officials will worship!" Standing on the stage, Zhao Fangyin's personal eunuch read aloud, with a lofty spirit, as if he was the one who was the emperor.
And when the little eunuch read out the words of the ceremony, Zhao Fangyin walked slowly from the door, wearing a five-clawed golden dragon yellow robe, wearing a hanging curtain crown, all of a sudden, domineering, his hands slowly leveled.
While everyone was stunned, they did not forget to worship in unison, "Long live the Martial Emperor, long live, long live!" β
Zhao Fangyin, who was standing on the stage, smiled slightly, "All Aiqing is equal!" β
"Thank you!" The sentence "Xie Shengshang" is the most sincere thought from the civil and military officials, as early as before, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but all the people who are not right-hearted, greedy for money, have already been ordered by him, exiled, and the silver two have been returned to the "lost owner", so that the whole country, and happy for a while.
γγγγγγ
The next morning, before the ministers presented their papers, Zhao Fangyin made a will, "I sit on this throne, nothing more than Zhao Xuan and Li Ren, and there are many vacancies in the court, I want to select some awards from them, come here, Xuan Zhao Xuan, Li Ren on the pilgrimage." β
Before the ministers could reply, Zhao Fangyin took it on his own, and after a while, he saw Zhao Xuan and Li Ren dressed in gorgeous costumes, walking slowly and kneeling in the hall, "Weichen (grass people) knock on the saint, long live the saint, long live the saint!" β
And the civil and military officials standing around, most of them were officials in the same dynasty as Zhao Xuan back then, and they didn't care about Zhao Xuan's reappearance, but they were a little curious, the man with a beautiful face, and although they were curious, after all, they were above the court, and they didn't say much.
And Zhao Xuan and Li Ren were kneeling there quietly, waiting for Zhao Fangyin's reward.
Zhao Fangyin coughed lightly, and said loudly: "Zhao Xuan, I have protected the country before, and now, I have made suggestions for me, so that I have never been depressed because of the past, and I have been specially named the prime minister of Zuo, and the official worship is a product, and the reward is ten thousand taels." β
"Wechen thanked the saint, long live the saint, long live the saint!" Zhao Xuan, who was kneeling there, did not change much, but the ministers beside him knew each other one after another, their eyes were full of shock, they did not expect that the Holy Lord would give such a country man such a high status.
As for Li Ren, he was made a privy envoy and worshiped as an official.
As for Sun Feng and Gu Dahong, who have not been proclaimed, it is not that they are not valued by Zhao Fangyin, just because Sun Feng does not want to sink in the sea of eunuchs, he is not here, as long as Zhao Fangyin can help him obtain the entire underground dynasty, it will be a reward for him, and he doesn't care if he is an official or not.
As for Gu Dahong, it is because after so many years, he is finally old, and with his lifeline and the money rewarded by the saint, he returned to his hometown and lived a comfortable and stable life.
Although Zhao Fangyin still has a trace of reluctance in his heart, he still decided to respect their opinions, after all, after all these years, he is no longer a subordinate relationship with them, as long as they want, as long as he has, he will give them unconditionally.
γγγγγγ
In this way, Zhao Xuan was above this court, and he stayed for ten years, and in the end, he also chose to leave, on the day of leaving, Zhao Fangyin's reluctance in his eyes, Zhao Xuan saw it in his eyes, but, in Zhao Xuan's opinion, now Zhao Fangyin has been able to handle the entire court properly, and most of the new officials in the court are people with real talents and abilities, and they can also share his worries.
As I said before, Zhao Fangyin respected their choice, on the day Zhao Xuan left, many friends gathered together, and when they parted, they were drunk, even Zhao Fangyin, who was the son of heaven, was drunk, they didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
And before leaving, Zhao Xuan found Lao Wang and Guo Da and asked them about their future plans, after all, Zhao Xuan no longer planned to do things in the imperial court, and they followed him, just a burden to each other.
Of course, the seventy-year-old Wang understood this truth, asked for some gold, silver and jewelry from Zhao Xuan, made his lifelong dream, and traveled all over the world.
And Guo Da is already familiar with the officialdom, and wants to be a military general and complete his childhood dream of wanting to serve the country with loyalty, Zhao Xuan is naturally unambiguous, in the imperial court, he asked for a four-grade official position, although it is not big, but for Guo Da, this is enough.
γγγγγγ
The next day, Zhao Xuan left the place where he was drunk and dreamed of death, left some plates wrapped in silver, and sent all the money back to his home, he came to the north first, this time, he met Mo Ling again with ingenuity, but this time, it was just a middle-aged man with sideburns, and a Buddhist disciple who had cut off his long hair.
When they met again, what appeared in front of the two of them turned out to be a horizontal ditch that could no longer be crossed.
When he saw Zhao Xuan, Mo Ling's body shook slightly, and when he hurriedly passed by Zhao Xuan's side, he was grabbed by Zhao Xuan's powerful hands, "You, why do you have to do this?" β
Mo Ling broke free of his arms and clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, all the Dharma in the world is like a dream bubble, even if you are intoxicated, you will eventually come out, donor, goodbye." β
After saying the Buddha name, Mo Ling slowly passed by him, but Zhao Xuan laughed at himself and left the place depressed.
γγγγγγ
When Zhao Xuan re-entered the door, he found that the old patriarch had grown old, and his parents' hair had turned gray, and when he saw Zhao Xuan walking towards the house, he happily ran to Zhao Xuan, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, don't bring a big fat boy back to your mother!" β
Looking at his mother like this, Zhao Xuan smiled, as if he had suddenly returned to the way he was before he left home, "Mother, don't worry, Ming'er, I'll ask you for a daughter-in-law to come back." β
"You kid, what are you thinking about all day?" Mother Zhao scolded Zhao Xuan with a smile, asked them to chat first, and turned her head into the kitchen.
At the dinner table, the second elder said with a smile while putting vegetables in the bowl for Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xuan: "Stinky boy, how long do you plan to come back and live this time?" β
Zhao Xuan burped, and said a little sleepily: "Don't go back, stay here for a long time." β
Looking at Zhao Xuan's appearance, his parents didn't know what to say, and after a long time, Zhao's father smiled awkwardly, "Okay, it's good to be back, the province doesn't even know how he died." β
"What are you talking about, you old man." Although Zhao's mother was angry at Zhao Xuan's father on the surface, she showed a happy smile on her face.
The mother of the child is worried, which mother is not worried about her child, and now that he is back, this is naturally the bestγγγγγγ
It was late at night, Zhao Xuan, who was lying on the bed on his side, "grunted", a glass of turbid wine went down, looking back at the experience of half a life, like a dream, it was so real, but it was so ethereal, even if he was intoxicated, but he should not forget, in this life, only hard work can be wonderful, even if he is ruined in the end and scolded by future generations for thousands of years, it is not in vain, in the world, go this wayγγγγγγ
