Chapter Seventy-Five: Myths

It is thousands of miles from Jingcheng to Nanli, it takes a month to travel normally, and there are many checkpoints along the way, most of Song Yang and his party do not know martial arts, and they really want to flee south, even if they have Lao Gu's subordinates and Xie Men's lackeys to respond, the chance that they can escape wanted and escape back to China is only two or three percent.

But from the eye city to the east, to the sea...... The last time Su Hang came back from the sea, it was the first day of the fifth month when she landed on the shore, and the Nanli envoy arrived in Jingcheng on the fourth day of the fifth month, and when Song Yang went to Mingyue Villa to kill her that night, she had already arrived home.

At best, a three-to-five-day journey, as long as you get on the boat, Jingtai will only have to sigh with admiration.

The distance was shortened by five or six times, and the chances of a successful escape increased dramatically.

Su Hang's arrangement, even Song Yang only knew about it when she saw her under the imperial city, not to mention the others, until this moment everyone knew that they were going to escape by boat, but after just a few days of escape, everyone was excited. Mr. Bo asked: "Jingtai knows that we are on the same road as Miss Su, and after the Ming Yue Villa is empty, he will definitely think that we will use the boat......

Grandma looked proud and replied for Su Hang: "Sister Hang has long been preparing for me to sail the ship, yesterday at noon, the big ship has already anchored and gone to sea, and the faint gentleman will now control the dock and monitor the big ship, it's late!" Although the question was asked, this answer was not surprising to Mr. Bo, even if the two fools came to plan this matter, they would not arrange for everyone to go to the dock to board the ship, the fat man just asked casually, nodded and smiled when he heard the words, and a series of compliments were sent, Su Hang was not polite, and happily accepted all the compliments. The escape route was designed a long time ago, led by the grandmother, the group was shuttling through the wilderness, the road was tortuous and difficult, but Yan Bing's inventory and search were also much less, and he did not encounter real danger, Song Yang began to get busy, while hurrying, while treating Amber's rotten skin, these injuries will not be fatal, according to Amber's own intentions, there is no need to rush to heal, wait until you get to the ship.

It's not fatal, but it's painful. After the night of September 8, it may not be enough to treat Amber as a mother, but in any case, I can't bear to torture her again...... When walking, looking at Su Hang's 'curiosity', Song Yang didn't have to hide anything, and told the big and small things about the turmoil in Eye City, as well as the plans before and after, Su Hang listened to it with wide eyes for a moment, and his pretty face was full of surprise: "It's all your calculations?" ”

Song Yang shook his head and smiled: "How can I do it myself!" A lot of capable people got together to discuss, and in the end, it was up to Sister Hang'er's means that we could survive! Mentioning this, he naturally thought of the Battle of the North Gate, Song Yang turned his head to look at Amber again, and said seriously: "You shouldn't wait, I almost hurt you." ”

Song Yang would definitely not let go of the opportunity to assassinate Jingtai, but he really didn't expect that Amber would really stop and wait for him, he didn't take the mother-son talk seriously, and the real mother at that time would only do two things: or hold her son and prevent him from leaving; or die and wait for him to come back, or he will not leave.

"It doesn't matter if you wait for you to say it." Amber didn't care, and was not interested in this topic, turned to Su Hang and asked, "How is my son?" ”

Su Hang sighed softly, and then took Song Yang's hand and put it close to his cheek: "I didn't expect it... My sister always thought you were a little fool. If you're always so fierce, maybe you'll fall in love with you, that's a lot of trouble. As he spoke, he shook his head, shook off his heart, and tiptoed to Song Yang's ear: "I want you when I hear these things!" ”

Her body was soft, and most of the weight was attached to Song Yang, but she was finally not crazy, she turned her eyes and looked left and right, and sighed: "Let's wait until we get on the boat." ”

Strange disappointed, Su Hang took a deep breath, and then smiled: "Are there any other stories, let's hear them... How can an aunt pretend to be a national teacher so similar? ”

The second half of the sentence is said to Amber, the nondescript title of 'aunt', Amber didn't feel anything, just pointed to his throat: "It's hard to speak, let my son tell you." ”

The past decades ago is nothing, even if it is confidential, it is the national teacher's, and it has nothing to do with Song Yang and others, Song Yang told it as a story, but omitted the part between himself and Imperial Doctor You.

Celebrity secrets, no one is not interested, as Song Yang narrates, there will always be people who are amazed and can't help but talk about it, until he finished speaking, everyone exhaled a long breath, but at this time, grandma frowned and thoughtfully.

Su Hang saw that his expression was different, and he said that there was something wrong with the escape, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?" ”

Grandma pondered as she spoke: "Sister Hang knows that I used to be an errand boy in the palace, and I did quite high. "It's not that any eunuch has the opportunity to offend the emperor, grandma's status in the palace is not bad: "There are some secret things in the palace, and we can't say anything casually if we don't know it outside, but there are always some cheap people who will accidentally leak out." Hey, it's no wonder, eunuchs have never had any hope, chewing the root of their tongues in private, it's just such an interesting thing, as long as it doesn't pass on ...... anymore"

Gu Zhaojun listened from the side, suddenly smiled, and said to Mr. Silk beside him: "If you have nothing to do, you are not allowed to talk to grandma." "Grandma's nagging, I'm afraid it's comparable to the fat man, if they talk together, no one can stand it.

"Cough, my broken mouth has made Mr. Gu laugh," Grandma also laughed, but what she said was still wordy: "When was I still on an errand, there was an old eunuch in the palace who was dying, and no one cared about him, but he looked a little like my father, so I went to take care of it from time to time, and after a long time, I heard about something from his mouth, and it was more than forty years ago, when Emperor Kangping was still there, and there was an evil surname in the harem." ”

Kang Ping is Jingtai's grandfather.

More than 40 years ago, Kangping reigned, several children had grown up at that time, and the harem battle would never be inseparable from the word 'seizing the heir', among which the most promising inheritance of the unification was the 'oldest senior' prince, and the other was Kangping's favorite, or the young Seventh Prince, as a result, one day the Seven Princes suddenly fell ill...... Su Hang pursed his lips and smiled at Song Yang: "It's like a TV series." ”

Regarding the strange illness of the Seven Princes, the old eunuch is also hearsay, and the specific symptoms can only be said to be 'ulcer', but he doesn't know how to do it, and Grandma naturally doesn't know about it. Soon after the seventh prince fell ill, the royal family announced that his prince had died and was buried in a grand manner. As for why he suffered from a fatal disease, no one dared to say, but everyone had an idea.

A few years later, the old emperor died, and the new emperor ascended the throne and set up the name Yanguang, everything was fine, but in the next three or five years, I don't know what kind of evil the Yanguang Emperor ordered to commit by God, and a few children under his knees, except for the eight-year-old Lao Jiu, all fell ill and died one after another.

There was only one left, and Emperor Yanguang did not dare not be careful, so he personally rushed to the golden top of Butuo Mountain to worship the Buddha and pray, and sent Lao Jiu to the big temple to 'eat fasting and practice' for two years, in order to seek the blessing of the Buddha. Two years later, before His Royal Highness the Ninth came back, all the subordinates who were close to him were expelled from the palace, and no one knew why. Later, Emperor Yanguang never had a queen, but fortunately, His Royal Highness Nine grew up until the first emperor died, and His Royal Highness Jiu, as the only heir, naturally inherited the throne, with the year name Jingtai.

Grandma exhaled a long breath: "The old eunuch told me that before His Royal Highness the Ninth was sent away, although he didn't have a chance to see him, I heard that he was tiger-headed, beautiful and cute. But our Emperor Jingtai, his appearance ......"

The dwarf listened attentively and interjected from the side: "Lao Jiu was replaced when he lived in the temple?" But when he came back, how could his parents not see it? ”

Mr. Bo replied casually when he heard this: "I must be able to see it, but it's just a compromise, otherwise why change all the personal subordinates of Lao Jiu." ”

Grandma finished talking about things, and finally didn't forget to nag and smile: "These old years, miscellaneous families... I can't be sure, and the old eunuch's own guessing and speculation are indispensable, so everyone listens to it as a joke. ”

Others first heard the origin of the swallow top, and then knew the secrets in the old palace, some were thoughtful, and some talked in a low voice, but it was Song Yang, his expression was very relaxed, obviously he had heard it, he didn't think about it at all, let alone think about it, Su Hang was a little puzzled, and pulled down his sleeve: "Look at the way you don't care much, aren't they your big enemy?" ”

Song Yang smiled: "I know that they are enemies, what is their identity and relationship, they really don't care much, who is love!" ”

…… The route of escape, there is no detour, the road is difficult not to say, but there is finally no danger, seven days later in the early morning, everyone under the leadership of grandma, climb a high mountain, after reaching the top, the sight suddenly opens, under the cliff of the east mountain, is the blue sea.

The sky was clear and cloudless, grandma stood on the edge of the cliff, looked into the distance, looked at it for a while, stretched out her hand to point ahead, and said with a smile: "Sister Hang, our boat is there." ”

As he looked, a large ship was faintly visible, anchored at the junction of the sky and the sea!

Regarding the escape, it has been arranged in advance, on the barren cliff, a boulder is firmly tied to a thick rope, hanging straight to the bottom of the cliff, and then look down carefully, there are several small boats on the reef beach under the cliff.

Finally arrived at the beach, to be here, it means that the surname has finally been saved, everyone is overjoyed, except for Suzhou and Hangzhou, standing alone on the edge of the cliff, with complex eyes and obsessed expression...... Song Yang took a step forward and grabbed her arm: "It's not August 15 yet, it's useless to fly out." ”

Su Hang woke up at this time, turned around and squeezed into Song Yang's arms, asked for a hug, and said softly: "I can't wait." ”

…… Almost at the same time that Song Yang and the others saw the sea, Jingtai finally saw his 'Yan Palace'... The palace is gone, and only ruins remain. The fire, which had been burning for six days and seven nights, had just been extinguished, and you could still feel the scorching heat when you got closer.

Jingtai's face was gloomy, and he grabbed the flask and took a sip.

In the past few days, the wine jug has never left the emperor's side. Jingtai is very busy, wake up and focus on dealing with all kinds of government affairs, among which the most important thing is to rectify the hearts of the ministers and appease the public opinion, but no matter how busy he is, he will always involuntarily think about the fiasco in his heart, every time he thinks of this, his chest will be full of blood and blood, with his surname can not accept such a thing happening at all, but Jingtai is stubborn, and will never spit out a mouthful of blood again, and suppress it with strong liquor when he is depressed.

Spirits are domineering, and they can really suppress the attack.

No one dared to persuade him, what the imperial doctor could do was to try to prescribe a prescription to replenish his body and try to make up for it.

The Yan Imperial Palace originated from the previous dynasty, and the imperial palace of the former dynasty also originated from the previous dynasty...... The history of nearly 600 years before and after, during which there have been several wars, but every new emperor who has laid down the country, without exception, is reluctant to see the city Lingxiu, but also reluctant to such a magnificent palace, the three dynasties are set here, after the repair and expansion of generations of emperors, the palace is magnificent, the scale is amazing, compared to the Lingxiao Hall in the heavenly palace, I am afraid that it is not inferior, and it was burned by Song Yang.

The fire started from the outside, layer by layer, and affected the small semi-Beijing division; And the riot on the night of September 8 involved the Liuchengren family in the eye city, and now the chaos has just ended, and the city that used to be the eye of the world in Middle-earth is now full of desolation. Walking on the street, there is sadness in the eyes, how can there be half a point of beauty.

There is also the big thunder sound platform, the holy land of Buddhism, the solemn realm, now only an empty shell is left, the three thousand monks and soldiers who have been painstakingly managed by the national teacher, and many Dharma protectors who have been carefully promoted, almost all died in the north gate, and those monks in the temple who do not know martial arts also suffered heavy losses on the night of the riot.

Jingtai did not pursue the big thunder sound, but just passed the decree, ordering the soldiers and horses of all states to control the twenty-one Sumeru Monastery, and not allow the monks to rebel again, but also did not allow the officers and soldiers to hurt people casually.

Fortunately, Sumeru Zen Temple did not turn back.

Jingtai entered the city in order to appease the hearts of the people of the city, with a kind smile on his face along the way, and even personally went to the gathering place of the victims affected by the fire, drank a bowl of porridge, ate a bun, and then instructed the officials to sandwich meat...... However, when he got close to the palace, he couldn't smile anymore.

Sniffing the pungent smell of burnt paste, Jingtai took a deep breath and turned back to call his confidants: "Jin Qian, what do you think?" ”

The emperor's words were a bit clueless, Wen Jinqian could only chase the situation in front of him to answer: "Back to the Holy Lord, the Jingshi has suffered a lot of damage, but it has not done much harm to my Dayan."

"Can you rebuild the palace in a few years?" Jingtai's tone was indifferent.

Wen Jinqian replied truthfully: "This ...... If the Holy Palace is rebuilt and completely restored, it is not an overnight effort, but a slow effort. ”

Jingtai shook his head: "Even if the palace is rebuilt in the blink of an eye, it is useless!" The face has been lost, and my face, Da Yan's face, has been burned to shreds by a fire. ”

Wen Jinqian didn't dare to answer, and stood silent.

Jingtai continued: "You also said just now, Dayan's foundation is not damaged, and its strength is still there. ”

"Yes! Shangshang Dayan is still an unparalleled power in the world, in fact, this disaster, in terms of losses alone, is not comparable to the seven-year Central Plains locust plague. ”

Jingtai didn't have the heart to care about this, so he said coldly: "I have a lot of silver money, I have a million male soldiers, it doesn't matter if I lose my face, I can get it back if I have a fist!" Tomorrow morning, I want you to add a court: within two years, there will be one more Nanli Prefecture on the territory of Dayan. ”

It's not just a dozen, it's not about killing tens of thousands of people and coming back, this time Jingtai wants to cut off Fenglong's head.

With his understanding of his own emperor, Wen Jinqian was not surprised to say such a thing, but his duty was to shake his head and persuade him, even if the words were not good: "The rebellion in the Eye City is known to the whole world, and the twenty-one Sumeru Monastery is about to move, what worries people is not those monks and soldiers, but countless believers from all over the country...... What's more, there are Tubo and Dog Rong outside, please think twice, at this time, it is beneficial and harmless to fight a few battles with Nanli; But if you really make a big move, the disaster will be endless. ”

Unexpectedly, Jingtai didn't lose his temper, but laughed: "That's why I want to discuss with the court, I want to stabilize the hearts of the people, I want to reject the tiger and wolf, but I also want to slaughter Nanli, and I have to have all three things...... You have to think about it, otherwise what is the use of raising a group of ministers? Even if it is temporarily allowed to take advantage of the western and northern barbarians temporarily, it will not hurt to take advantage of it temporarily, and in the next year, I will cook the plump human head and smell whether the smell is fragrant or smelly. ”

Wen Jin moved his lips, and wanted to persuade again, but at this time, the chief general who was in charge of organizing the soldiers and preparing to enter the wreckage of the palace to search hurriedly stepped forward, looking hesitant, as if there was something to say, he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

Jingtai spoke: "If you have something, just say it, you don't have to frown your brows so deeply, I don't like to watch it." ”

"Some handwriting was found on the ground in the square, which should be left by the thief......"

If the emperor is not present, the general may really order his subordinates to seal their mouths and destroy the handwriting and not report it, so as not to be angry or killed, but Jingtai is not far away at the moment, how dare the general hide it.

Jingtai raised his eyebrows, and Sen Ran sneered: "Lead the way, I want to see!" ”

After the fire, the ground was scorched, and as a result, several rows of large silver characters also appeared very eye-catching, the handwriting was crooked and ugly, and the wording was even more disorganized:

Save Tan Guide, seize a pin, anti-thunder sound platform, chaos the city, and burn the Yan Palace.

On May 7 of the fourth year of Jingtai, the demon star fell from the sky.

Hooray, you missed one.

Hooray, hooray, belray, good health.

It's a pity that when Song Yang wrote the 'note', he hadn't started to stab yet, otherwise he would have to add the words 'lame your son and look at your daughter-in-law' to the first sentence...... Nondescript messages, the first sentence is 'invitation to merit', and the last sentence is a threat, but the middle three sentences, others are a little confused. But Jingtai can understand it, and that's enough.

Unexpectedly, the culprit of the September 8th Calamity Eye City was actually the Demon Star who was born eighteen years ago! Didn't he explain the truth to me later, and the demon star theory was just nonsense? Don't you have to worry about it anymore?

His divination, that language, is a joke...... And how could it come true!

Under the agitation of the mood, Jingtai couldn't help coughing, but unexpectedly, with this cough, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the cough didn't stop, and the vomiting blood didn't stop, Jingtai only felt that the world was spinning, everything in front of him lost its color, and his consciousness was withdrawn in an instant, and he could no longer stand unsteadily, and fell heavily into the arms of his courtiers.

…… Not poisoning. Leaving a word makes people poison at a glance, that's immortal art, Song Yang doesn't have this ability.

It's Jingtai's own fault. His health is good, and he vomited blood twice on September 8, which is no big deal, in fact, when the blood is surging, the blood is vomited out, which is the body's self-protection, as long as he doesn't vomit up, he can rest at ease and don't start the liver fire, and it doesn't hurt to recuperate for a while.

But Jingtai's liver fire was too heavy, and his surname was stubborn, so he first killed the imperial doctor who dissuaded him, and suppressed it with spirits from the third mouthful of blood, and it was repeated for several days, and every time it was suppressed, it was a violent impact on the internal organs, even if it was really a cow, it couldn't stand it. At this moment, seeing Song Yang's words, the qi and blood were surging again, the fragile heart and lungs could no longer stand the heavy pressure, and the serious illness suddenly attacked!

The little insect is a disciple of the national teacher, but his biggest task is the 'secret path', usually he doesn't follow the master, he doesn't know anything about poison, medicine or martial arts, and he doesn't know that Jingtai drinking will destroy his body.

Everyone in the escort was shocked, urgently called for the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, and hurriedly sent Jingtai away, and the news spread all over the city.

The people do not distinguish the reason, and believe in ghosts and worship gods, I heard that there is the word "demon star" in the message, the more it spreads, the more outrageous, by the afternoon, the "truth" about Jingtai fainting became: there are fierce demons in the anti-thief, and the evil magic is cast by leaving the word, and the others are all right, but long live when they see it, they immediately vomit blood in the curse...... That's what I said, but what more people thought in their hearts was something else: the message was not a demon but a god and a Buddha, and it was not a demon law but a fairy law that was cast, Jingtai killed the merciful national teacher and attracted the punishment of the immortals.

(To be continued)
