Chapter 323: Chaotian Que (Finale)
Him and her!
Yang Shouwen stood behind Yang Chenglie and couldn't see Yang Chenglie's face.
However, he could still feel that when Yang Chenglie and Shangguan Wan'er looked at each other, his emotions seemed to fluctuate a little.
"Father?"
Seeing that Yang Chenglie didn't speak, he was stunned, Yang Shouwen hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
Only then did Yang Chenglie react and said softly: "Please also ask Miss Shangguan to lead the way." ”
"Please, Yang Fengchen."
After all, Shangguan Wan'er has been training by Wu Zetian's side for many years, and after the initial mood swings, she has adjusted. However, she still ignored Yang Shouwen, didn't even look at it, and turned around.
When you walk into the wind gate, you will see an empty square.
A large-scale Jinluan Hall sits on the square, exuding a majestic atmosphere.
Shangyang Palace has now almost become the main place for Wu Zetian's office, so much so that the main hall in the imperial city has been vacant for a long time. If it weren't for a grand gathering, or the presence of civil and military officials, Wu Zetian would be in Shangyang Palace most of the time.
Walking slowly up the steps, you get closer and closer to the main hall.
Even Yang Shouwen felt inexplicably nervous.
Architecture, because of people, gives birth to majesty; people, and because of the building to set off the momentum.
People and architecture are indispensable, and when combined they are a complete palace. In his previous life, Yang Shouwen had visited the Forbidden City. It was true that the grandeur of the complex would have made him feel awe-inspiring, but walking through it always felt like something was missing.
After the loss of the emperor, the Forbidden City is just a complex of buildings that have witnessed history, and cannot be called an imperial city.
"Your Majesty. Yang Chenglie's father and son arrived. ”
Under the steps outside the main hall door. Shangguan Wan'er motioned for Yang Chenglie and the two to stop.
She walked up the steps. Came to the door of the main hall and said hello.
"Xuan!"
"Xuan Yang Chenglie, Yang Shouwen and his son are here!"
A high-pitched voice came from the main hall, Yang Chenglie hurriedly shook his face, and then took Yang Shouwen to hang his head, raise his legs high, and lightly settle down, and walked into the gate of the Guanfeng Palace.
"Grass people Yang Chenglie (Yang Shouwen) See Our Lady God Emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
Yang Chenglie walked into the main hall. Then he bowed to the shrine.
Yang Shouwen didn't dare to slack off, and followed Yang Chenglie to salute in the same way.
In the main hall, there was silence.
Yang Shouwen felt uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
You must know that sitting above His Majesty Dan is a moody and ruthless woman.
This woman has a mixed reputation in later generations. Some people admire her, and some people hate her to the core.
Yang Shouwen has read many versions of Wu Zetian's biography, but no matter which one. It is indispensable to evaluate Wu Zetian's viciousness. For example, she wanted to depose the queen and queen. did not hesitate to kill his own daughter; For example, after she gained power, she turned Concubine Xiao Shufei into a human being; For example, in order to become emperor, she even killed her own son.
In short, the evaluation of Wu Zetian by later generations is indispensable for a 'vicious'.
But when Yang Shouwen arrived in Luoyang, the news he got from He Zhizhang, Zhang Shuo, Zhang Ruoxu and others was: they had never heard that Wu Zetian killed his daughter in order to gain power in the palace.
Wu Zetian gave birth to a total of two daughters, the eldest daughter, Princess Andingsi, who should now be called Princess Andingsi, died early.
The youngest daughter is Princess Taiping.
Princess Andingsi is the daughter who is said to have died in the hands of Wu Zetian.
But as far as Yang Shouwen knows, Princess Andingsi died early, not was killed. It is true that the death of Princess Andingsi made Wu Zetian the biggest beneficiary. You must know that this is the Tang Dynasty, an era of openness! Any news in the palace will circulate, but no one has said that Princess Andingsi died at the hands of Wu Zetian.
Even, in the "Old Tang Book", which was written in the Five Dynasties, and in the "Tang Hui Yao", which was compiled according to the living notes, it is only recorded that Princess Andingsi died violently. The real record of Wu Zetian killing his own daughter is from the "New Tang Dynasty Book" and "Zizhi Tongjian". These two books were written in the Song Dynasty, and their authenticity still needs to be considered.
But history recorded the death of Princess Andingsi on Wu Zetian's head.
Yang Shouwen thinks that the reason is probably because Wu Zetian is a 'woman'.
After a woman steps on the heads of all men, it is inevitable that she will be hated by those men. Especially in the Song Dynasty, science gradually began to rise, and the concept of preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires also began to take shape. The husband is the wife, which is the most orthodox truth in heaven and earth. How could those scholars and doctors accept the fact that a woman was once the Ninth Five?
To some extent, Yang Shouwen is a firm believer in the principle that 'history is written by the victors'.
How many of those rumors about Wu Zetian are true? I'm afraid even those who recorded it don't know very well.
"Yang Wenxuan, I haven't seen you for eighteen years, you seem to be much older.
Raise your head and let me see, what has become of Yang Daring back then? ”
In the main hall, an old voice came.
But I must admit that the voice is very soft, and if it does not have the atmosphere of old age, it must be very good.
"I haven't seen the saint's face for eighteen years, and the sinners are also worried.
Sinners are just mortals in the flesh, so they are naturally inevitably reincarnated in that way. However, the saint has not grown old, and has not changed much from the past. ”
Yo!
Is this what Daddy said?
Yang Shouwen lowered his head, taken aback, and secretly complained in his heart: You father with thick eyebrows and big eyes, the level of sycophants is not low. But every woman likes to hear this kind of praise. Dad usually looks very unreliable, but at a critical time, this ability to praise is not bad.
"Yang Daring, Yang Daring, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but you are getting better and better at talking."
Wu Zetian's laughter echoed in the main hall.
Yang Chenglie said with a straight face: "The sinner does not dare to deceive the saint, this sinner says from the bottom of his heart." ”
"You don't dare to deceive me, but you have abandoned your official position for sixteen years."
Wu Zetian's voice suddenly became stern, and he said in a deep voice: "I sent you out back then. I hope you can have a good life outside. But you're fine. After going to Junju. Do you know how disappointed I am when I hang up the seal and leave? ”
"Sinners ......"
Yang Chenglie knelt on the hall and prostrate on the ground.
This kneeling really hurts!
Yang Shouwen felt pain when he heard the sound of the canopy.
Not to mention Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing beside Wu Zetian, also felt a pain in her heart, and hurriedly said softly: "Your Majesty, Yang Fengchen had no choice but back then. ”
"As a last resort. What's the last resort? ”
Wu Zetian's voice became higher and higher, and he said sharply: "Yang Chenglie, do you remember what I said to you when you left Chang'an?" ”
"Remember, sinner."
"Then you repeat it to me."
"The sage said that when the sinner went outside, he just let go of his hands and did things.
If something happens, the saint will make decisions for the sinners, and will not allow anyone to bully the sinners......"
Hey?
Yang Shouwen lowered his head. Listening to Yang Chenglie's words, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
You can hear it. Yang Chenglie and Wu Zetian seem to be very familiar, and Wu Zetian also takes great care of him. What's the situation? Daddy still has such a secret? With his temper, he was able to hide that he never said it.
"You remember!" Wu Zetian seemed to be angry, grabbed a piece of jade paperweight, and smashed it at Yang Chenglie.
However, the paperweight did not hit Yang Chenglie, and fell on the ground more than a meter away from Yang Chenglie, and it was instantly shattered.
The jade shavings splashed, but Yang Chenglie didn't dare to move.
"Yang Daring, I am very disappointed in you.
Back then, your teacher recommended you to me, and I promised him that I would definitely give you a future. But what about you...... Zheng Sanniang died of illness, I know that you and your wife are deeply in love, and you are allowed to be decadent for some days. But I didn't expect it...... When I needed support the most, I didn't even have anyone around to speak. Yang Chengyeol, do you know how angry I am? ”
"Sinner, worthy of the love of the saint!"
Yang Chenglie's voice was crying, and he could hear that he was really moving.
Who is Daddy's teacher?
Yang Shouwen discovered that there were countless secrets buried in his father's body that even he didn't know.
No wonder, after he returned to the Central Plains, he hid in Shicheng Mountain.
No wonder, he has been struggling, but after he arrived in Luoyang, he has refused to come.
Even if Yang Chenglie wants to be worried, he can travel from Xingyang to Luoyang, which is only a day's journey, so what's the trouble?
It turned out that he was hiding, not only Wu Chenghe, but also Wu Zetian.
"Your Majesty, rest your anger."
Shangguan Wan'er was also frightened on the side, she also heard for the first time that the complicated relationship between Wu Zetian and Yang Chenglie was heard.
originally thought that Wu Zetian could remember Yang Chenglie because he had been a Fengchen guard.
But now it seems that there seems to be an unknown relationship between Wu Zetian and Yang Chenglie.
Thinking about it, when Yang Chenglie was prepared for Fengchen, he was only a teenager. The entire Fengchen Guard is not more than a hundred people. Can be prepared, which is not experienced? Anyway, in Shangguan Wan'er's impression, most of the people who are preparing are nearly thirty years old. A teenager, even if he is a famous person, has a background that is not prominent. At such a young age, he was prepared, and he was in charge of a government in his early twenties, which was not a small problem.
Wu Zetian, calm down.
She tried to calm herself, and then said in a deep voice: "After returning to the Central Plains, have you ever gone to your teacher's grave to worship?" ”
"The sinner is ashamed of the teacher's cultivation, so he secretly went to worship."
"So, have you ever been in contact with Mingju?"
"The criminal caused trouble back then, and he was worried that he would be involved in the senior brother, so he didn't contact him."
"At the beginning of the year, Ming Jue was ordered to go to Shuzhou to worship the history of Shuzhou...... I've already begun to worry about me. It was your father who caused the trouble, if you were willing to know with me, I wouldn't be able to protect you? If you hadn't escaped back then, you must have been a state assassin now, worrying about me...... That's it, remember to contact Ming Jue, he asked me about you before he left Luoyang. If you hadn't given birth to a good son, I wouldn't have known that you would have returned to the Central Plains. ”
Mingjue?
What an unfamiliar name!
Yang Shouwen still hadn't guessed who Yang Chenglie's teacher was, but Shangguan Wan'er already had the answer.
Sure enough, it was him...... If it weren't for him, who could have made the saint so trusted?
Mingju, an unknown person in history. But his father. But it has left many mysterious legends for future generations.
Ming Jue's father's name is Ming Chongyan. It was also in Wu Zetian's life. Except for Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the most trusted man.
"Yang Shouwen."
"The grass people are here."
"Why don't you look up?"
"Grass people, don't dare."
His Majesty Dan, there was a burst of laughter.
"You were in Yaotai that day, but you were domineering.
You didn't say you weren't afraid of me, why didn't you dare to raise your head in front of me? ”
Have I ever done anything awesome?
Yang Shouwen's heart trembled for no reason, and he hurriedly replied: "The grass people ate too much wine that day. In fact, I am still very afraid of saints. ”
"Oh? What are you afraid of? ”
Wu Zetian said with a smile: "Could it be that like your father, he has done something wrong, so he is afraid of me?" ”
"This ......"
Yang Shouwen was a little confused.
I'm going to say I'm not afraid of you, you old lady can't dare to cut off my head. But I'm afraid of you...... Well, I'm really afraid of you.
"The grass people don't know why they're afraid, they're scared anyway."
"Where are you afraid?"
"The whole body is afraid."
Wu Zetian couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
This father and son make her hate and love at the same time.
Yang Chenglie was a student of Ming Chongyan, and he was also the person entrusted to her by Ming Chongyan before he died. Fengyi for four years. Ming Chongyan was killed by thieves. Before that, Ming Chongyan seemed to be aware. entrusted Wu Zetian with the aftermath in advance.
He told Wu Zetian that for famous and noble families, he should suppress them with one hand and win them over with the other.
His student Yang Chenglie came from a noble background, and although his reputation was not obvious, he could borrow it. Yang Chenglie is a son of Hongnong Yang, and Hongnong Yang is very famous in Guanzhong; Ming Chongyan also introduced a marriage to Yang Chenglie, that is, Yang Shouwen's biological mother Zheng Sanniang. The Hongnong Yang clan was used to win over Guanzhong, and the Xingyang Zheng clan was used to contact the Shandong Shi clan. At the same time, suppressing those increasingly powerful nobles and dividing them will make Wu Zetian's position more stable.
But Wu Zetian didn't expect that Yang Chenglie actually ran away!
This also made Ming Chongyan's plan for Wu Zetian fail, and Wu Zetian had to start vigorously promoting the children of civilians and using cool officials.
Wu Zetian knew very well that the scholars who were selected through the imperial examination always had Li Tang in mind.
In contrast, the acceptance of Li Tang by the clan was far less intense than that of the commoners......
Later, she prepared to abdicate in order to save the future of the samurai family. Originally, everything was arranged properly, if there was no Yang Shouwen's appearance, the marriage between Wu and Li would have been completed, and Princess Anle and Wu Chongxun were also engaged at this time.
Didn't God send this father and son to make me uncomfortable?
But let Wu Zetian ruthlessly clean up the Yang family's father and son, she was reluctant.
When she sees Yang Chenglie, she will think of Ming Chongyan; And Yang Shouwen's literary style made Wu Zetian like it very much.
"Yang Shouwen, you raise your head."
Yang Shouwen took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.
This time, he finally saw clearly the appearance of the 'Empress of the Ages' who was called 'Empress of the Ages' in later generations. Although she is a seventy-year-old woman, she can't see any clues from her appearance, just like a forty-year-old woman, and her charm still exists. She sat upright in the dragon chair with a playful smile on her face. For some reason, Yang Shouwen always felt that Wu Zetian was a little familiar.
"Yang Qingzhi, you are very good at writing, and you have to be taught by Zheng Sanniang in the dark, and I already believe it.
Eighty-one poems of the total immortal will fight wine, and you can be said to have created a legend. I don't care about your disrespectful behavior that day. Not only will I not pay attention, but I will also give you great benefits. However, you have to complete one of my tests. ”
"Huh?"
"A few days ago, Daoist Sima said to me, you wrote a poem for him in the Dapeng Palace on Tiantai Mountain, named Dapeng Fu.
I am also missing a fu in this Shangyang Palace.
If you can write an essay with the rhyme of 'willing to pick up the blue and purple' in the work of a stick of incense, and it shall not exceed 300 words, with the theme of Shangyang Palace, and the style of the divine capital, I will no longer care about your arrogance. If you can't do it, I'll be very unhappy, and then you don't blame me for bullying you, I have to teach you a lesson...... Yang Shouwen, do you understand? ”
I'll it!
With the rhyme of wishing to pick up the blue and purple, with the theme of Shangyang Palace, and the god's style?
The most annoying thing is that the whole article can't be 300 words, why do you want to play me to death?
Yang Shouwen was dumbfounded, and said with a bitter face for a long time: "Can the grass people refuse?" ”
I like to see your sad little face...... Let you smash the wine altar, so that you are not afraid of me? Hum Hum Hum ......
Wu Zetian smiled and said, "What do you say? ”
"You can't say no?"
"Someone, pen and ink waiting."
Outside the main hall, there were already attendants ready for the time. With Wu Zetian's order, Gao Yanfu brought someone in, placed the small table in front of Yang Shouwen, laid out the paper, studied the ink, put the pen away, and then retreated to the side.
Yang Shouwen was stunned!
He looked at Yang Chenglie, but saw Yang Chenglie with an expression of 'I can't help'.
looked at Shangguan Wan'er, but she looked at her nose, nose and mouth, and mouth and heart, and made a 'you can do it' gesture towards Yang Shouwen.
looked at Wu Zetian again, Wu Zetian was still full of spring breeze, his cheeks were red, and he seemed to be very excited.
Little guy, are you still crazy?
Wu Zetian seemed to have returned to many years ago, when he first met Ming Chongyan and made things difficult for him. At this moment, she felt a lot younger. Although the object has changed, Yang Shouwen is also Ming Chongyan's apprentice.
"Light the incense!"
Wu Zetian rushed to Gao Yanfu, and Gao Yanfu immediately brought the incense burner and lit the incense.
I'll go, do you want to play so hard, such a short incense?
"Yang Qingzhi, if I were you, I wouldn't sigh anymore, but think about how to deal with it as soon as possible."
After speaking, Wu Zetian stood up.
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly walked up and helped Wu Zetian down from His Majesty Dan.
"Yang Daring, accompany me out to breathe...... Gao Yanfu, help me keep an eye on it. ”
She walked outside the main hall, and Yang Chenglie hurriedly followed.
Daddy, you're not righteous! You have an empress, don't you want a son?
Yang Shouwen watched Yang Chenglie walk out of the hall, only to feel that this world was full of malice......
"Young Master Yang, hurry up and start, this incense burns very quickly."
Gao Yanfu was beside him, very happily mending the knife.
You must know that he doesn't have a good impression of Yang Shouwen. Gao Yanfu was originally Wu Sansi's house slave, and later Wu Zetian ascended the throne, so he entered the palace on the recommendation of Wu Sansi. Later, relying on his martial arts background, he quickly became the palace supervisor of Sigongtai.
Yang Shouwen ruined the marriage between Wu and Li, and made Wu Sansi lose face.
Now that Wu Zetian is making things difficult for Yang Shouwen, in Gao Yanfu's view, it is to think of a bad breath for Wu San. Gao Yanfu was naturally very happy to see Yang Shouwen unlucky, and even to some extent, he hoped that Yang Shouwen would be severely punished for this.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Saint!"
Walking out of the main hall, Yang Chenglie couldn't help but speak.
Yang Shouwen is his son, how can he be indifferent?
It's just that without waiting for him to finish speaking, he listened to Wu Zetian say quietly: "Wenxuan, you don't have to worry, I just want to warn him, how can I really embarrass him?" Yang Qingzhi has only been in his mind for more than 40 days, and he has caused a lot of trouble.
Young and vigorous, that's what he said. It's not a good thing in the long run. ”
Hearing Wu Zetian say this, Yang Chenglie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The third day of the fifth month is your teacher's death day."
"The sinner remembers."
"Let's go to Zhongnan Mountain on behalf of me, and worship Mingjun for me."
"The sinner obeys."
Wu Zetian walked to the front of the steps, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Yang Chenglie, and said softly: "Sixteen years, King Wei has passed away, and the hatred of the past has disappeared. You have been in exile for 16 years, and you have suffered a lot, and you must have learned a lot of things. Looking at you now, I know you've grown up...... I only ask you one thing: Wenxuan, I can forgive you for all your past mistakes, are you willing to come back and help me? (To be continued.) )
