Chapter 548: The Flames of the Stargazing Observatory
Ruoshui also looked through the records of the historians later, and only then did he know what happened in those years.
In the fourth year of Hongqing, the Three Holy Religions were determined to be the state religion. The palace is set up from top to bottom, and outstanding students can be directly selected from the palace to enter the palace for training. As long as the children of the teaching palace pass the promotion exam, they can directly become officials. The old aristocracy was shaken.
In the fifth year of Hongqing, the trade war caused Baizhi to be in turmoil, and he asked for help from the Hongyin Dynasty. Emperor Xuande sent troops to fight, it seems that the three holy gods gave the Hongyin Dynasty supreme power, this time the crusade was extremely smooth, the Hongyin Dynasty achieved the dominance of the Holy Borneo, and its reputation also reached its peak.
In the sixth year of Hongqing, Concubine Yun feathered and ascended to immortals, and the drought broke out in Wuyan Kingdom, which was the best time to attack, but Princess Sui'an accidentally found a water source and solved the danger of drought, but the strength of Wuyan Kingdom was also greatly damaged in this drought, and she no longer had the strength to fight against the Hongyin Dynasty.
In the seventh year of Hongqing, Emperor Xuande became more and more arrogant, happy and extravagant, built Jincheng Palace, hedonistic and tyrannical. Those who speak on the left and right are all blamed, abolishing the prime minister, pro-unifying the six ministries, centralizing power has reached its peak, and he is truly alone. Among the beauties like clouds, Emperor Xuande misses Concubine Yun more and more, and occasionally there are Taoist priests in Yingzhou, who use fairy magic and phantom souls as shadows to relieve the pain of lovesickness. As a result, I became more convinced of the theory of strange forces and gods.
In the eighth year of Hongqing, auspicious rui was offered in various places, and a box of shark beads was especially insufficient in Xiangjun, and the mermaids were ordered to pay tribute. For a while, public resentment boiled. All this commotion is just because Emperor Xuande heard that the tears of the mermaids can be turned into pearls, and the blood of the mermaids can recall the souls of the dead.
In the ninth year of Hongqing, he ordered the eunuch Qingchi, the former head of the imperial court, to cooperate with the Wenjin Pavilion University scholar Kong Hede to send an envoy to Damati, and the sea was stormy and died, and since then there have been no close ministers to persuade the emperor.
In the tenth year of Hongqing, Emperor Xuande built the mausoleum of Fengming Mountain, enshrined his biological father and Concubine Shu together, and added the emperor's nickname to his biological father. On the contrary, the ministers who opposed it were all reprimanded with a cane, and two of them were killed with a cane in court, and since then, the officialdom has been in a loud voice, and no one dares to oppose the emperor again.
In the thirteenth year of Hongqing, the mob rose everywhere, and the Queen of Ruoshui returned to Holy Borneo and ruled the world under the name of freedom of belief.
Of course, these are all revised records by the historians of the Lieshan Dynasty, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false how many real elements there are. What Ruoshui remembers most is the firelight of the stargazing platform.
On that day, when she summoned the old department, quelled the mob rebellion around Haojing, and wanted to help Ji Fansheng again, she saw the sparks on the stargazing platform, which gradually turned into a fiery red glow.
It was evening, and the familiar old shadow had already swooped into the firelight.
"Why, he won't see me one last time?"
Ruoshui's tears poured out for no reason, it was too far away, it was too late, even if she had wings to fly now, or she could go against the wind like Manshu who knew the Dao Dharma, it would be too late.
Bai Heng was also sentimental when he looked at it on the side, but he immediately cheered up, "Ruoshui, the world will be yours in the future." ”
Ruoshui was still in a state of sorrow and couldn't help herself, so she insisted on going to the stargazing platform to see what was going on.
Chitu asked Ruoshui intimately, "I'll take you to fly over, I'm not afraid of fire." ”
In just a moment, the sun had completely sunk, but the fire on the stargazing platform instead of the sun shone through the whole sky, so brilliant, so brilliant, as if a man had dedicated the glory of his whole life to this twilight.
After the sunset, the Hongyin Dynasty also walked into the twilight, and will never leave a little old shadow to the world.
When Ruoshui rode the red rabbit along the royal city of Haojing, the astonished people trembled and knelt down to bow down and surrender to the queen who rode the dragon.
They couldn't help but be full of reverence for Ruoshui, plus Bai Heng had already started to spread the previous miracles and prophecies again, at this time, not to mention Haojing, even the people in other parts of Borneo, they all knew that the queen was back, and the queen was about to ascend to the clouds.
Ruoshui's mind is only on the stargazing platform, she hopes that Chitu can extinguish all those fires, and she hopes that Ji Fansheng can survive.
But when they flew to the observatory, they saw that there was no one on the observatory, only a sword of the Son of Heaven was thrown aside at random, and there were still some residual blood stains on it, I don't know whose blood it was.
Bai Heng looked at the empty stargazing platform on weekdays, he had been the Qintian Supervisor, and he had also been free to enter and leave here, after all, it was his duty to gaze for the royal star.
But now it is full of firewood, obviously, Emperor Xuande is ready, he stands on the stargazing platform, the highest point of the royal city, and when he sees that Ruoshui has won the victory, and when he sees that Ruoshui can enter the city, he chooses to end his life.
Bai Heng could suddenly understand him, yes, what face should he use to meet Ruoshui again?
If he still has a trace of old affection for Ruoshui in his heart, there is no way to become an obstacle for her to ascend to the green clouds.
Ruoshui looked at the burning fire, there was no human figure in it, only an imperial robe that revealed the identity of Emperor Xuande, fluttering at the top of the pyre.
Everyone knew that Emperor Xuande had set himself on fire at the stargazing platform, but whether Ji Fansheng was dead or not, even Ruoshui didn't know.
Bai Heng looked at the situation and knew that there must be a mystery, so he admonished:
"Ruoshui, do you want to send someone to find it? In this way, it is always uneasy. ”
But Ruoshui didn't mean to track it down, she waved her hand, "That's it, leave a little room for each other to see each other again, if he is really dead, I will give him posthumous mourning."
If he hadn't died, I'd let him go, in fact, he's always wanted to ......"
Ruoshui couldn't go on, remembering that Ji Fansheng also said that he wanted to go to the rivers and lakes to see, but there was still an old mother and a weak sister at home, and he never had a chance. Later, he was taken back to the palace by the Empress Dowager Jiang, and there was no chance.
Bai Heng raised his head and saw that the sky had already darkened, and the firelight on the stargazing platform was even more intense.
At this time, the city was in turmoil, the mob had been defeated, and the common people began to come out with lanterns to look for relatives and friends.
On the stargazing platform, it can be clearly seen that the entire Haojing City seems to be alive, but the Emperor Xuande, who once made Haojing City proud, died.
Yes, there is only one record of his death in the history books.
After all, no one knew the whereabouts of Emperor Xuande, and he didn't know where he went, but no one dared to look for him. Externally, he's just dead.
Ruoshui only packed up the imperial robe and the sword of the Son of Heaven that symbolized the emperor's throne, and picked up some extremely black carbon wood from the scene, which was considered to be a burial, and she even did these things with her own hands.
In all the grand ceremonies after that, she did not shed a single tear, and everyone praised Queen Ruoshui for her good mind and the emperor of the previous dynasty to be buried with such a beautiful scenery.
