Chapter 10: The Return of the Prosperous World (Finale)

In the first year of Shenjue, the second year after Han Zeng returned to Chang'an, he was named the Great Sima and the General of the Che Cavalry by Liu Ill, and he was the secretary of the book, replacing Zhang Anshi's position; With the return of the old man to the hometown, the old man of the Shuguang, the resignation of Xiahou Sheng, Zhang Anshi's death, the Han Dynasty has been a time when young talents have come out, only Zhao Chongguo is more than seventy years old and led the troops to the battle, between the twists and turns of this battle, finally in May of the second year of the Shenjue triumphant return to the court, this autumn, the Qiang tribe then had a leader with the head of the traitor Xian Ling tribe leader surrendered to the Han.

Liu Yi has ordered Zheng Ji to go to the Western Regions to set up the capital protection mansion, and the territory of the Han Dynasty has become more and more vast, Huo Chengjun listened to the good news in the palace in Zhaotai Palace, and smiled so gently.

"The rivers and mountains in the world are where your ambition lies, and you are sick, and one day the Huns will pay tribute to the Han Dynasty." Huo Chengjun is also relieved in her heart, the life that is similar day by day has already made her as plain as water; In the loneliness of the day, she has long been unable to make waves, except that she will be affected by Liu's illness.

Ten years of years, too many memories have been precipitated, I thought it was a pool of calm water, but because of Han Zeng's death, I fell tears that I thought would no longer moisten my eyes, in the past ten years, Huo Chengjun has also heard the news of many people leaving, but in addition to emotion, the only thing that can affect her heart is Han Zeng, this person who has been waiting for her for more than 20 years, this person who has been helping him openly and secretly after the Huo family wiped out the clan, Huo Chengjun learned from the pipa that the person in Han Zeng's heart was himself, and he understood that in this world except Huo Guang, Xu is the only Han Zeng who can protect himself so purely, even if it will be mixed with Liu Yi's suspicion of him, for himself, Han Zeng has never been defeated.

"Why did you leave so early, how can you rest assured that I am still alive, there will be no you in the court in the future, who else can I rely on, Han Zeng, you came back that year and told me that you got married, Pipa left, I never thought that it would be the last time I saw you, I knew it was like this, I should have a few words with you......" Huo Chengjun muttered to herself, the palace people only thought that she was stupid again, and only one person understood what Huo Chengjun was so stunned for.

"If he could see you weeping for him, he would be smiling." Pipa was dressed in red like fire, holding the token of the year, and appeared in front of Huo Chengjun.

In addition to Huo Chengjun's surprise, it was the first time he saw the pipa dressed so brightly, and the fiery red dress seemed to be a wedding dress, which was enough to burn his eyes, "Pipa, have you seen his last side?" Huo Chengjun thought, Han Zeng must still have something to say to Pipa, back then, after Pipa learned that Han Zeng was going to marry a wife, he rode away without saying anything.

"I rushed back after hearing the news of his death, Chengjun, after leaving the Hou Ye, I knew that there is a person to miss, there is a period of time to recall, it is also a happy thing, I want to come back to see him for the last time, but I can only give him a stick of incense, I never thought that he would go before me, he was so heroic, he was so dashing, how could he leave so early?" Huo Chengjun saw the tears left by the pipa for the first time, and her cold fingers wiped the tears on her face.

Pipa still said to himself: "I saw the person who followed Hou Ye before, he said, Hou Ye has been waiting for me, but unfortunately he didn't wait, Hou Ye let him see me one day, and tell me, the most negative person in this life is Pipa, if there is an next life, it will live up to your wishes!" The pipa couldn't cry anymore, it turned out that they had never said the words, Han Zeng finally said these words at the end, thinking about it all these years, Han Zeng has not forgotten the pipa.

"Han Zeng is a person who values love and righteousness, if it weren't for me, you should be a couple, but it's a pity that fate makes people, because of me, he married another beautiful woman, you go away from the world, Han Zeng came back that year, he once said to me, marrying a wife just hopes that you can have a good home, he shouldn't have thought that you were unmarried for him in this life, Pipa, you are waiting for Han Zeng with the best years, his most sad days are also when you are by his side, maybe he himself is confused, he already has you in his heart, otherwise he would not have exchanged his marriage for you to leave, Find your own happiness. "The two of them met at the best time, and they also went through the worst time, on the long road, they talked to each other, and their feelings were born early, but unfortunately Han Zeng's deepest love root has always been Huo Chengjun.

"I knew, so I went peacefully and no longer disturbed his life; So I came in a wedding dress, the only time in this life to put on a wedding dress is for him who has been covered with a white cloth and has been in the coffin, if it is as he said, I hope we can meet earlier in the next life, Chengjun, I don't want to miss him in the next life, let alone let him wait too long, today I come, is to say goodbye to you, I would like to accompany this wedding dress! Pipa's face, which was still crying, suddenly burst into a smile, it was still so sweet, and it was still brilliant that Huo Chengjun had never seen.

Huo Chengjun opened his mouth, and when the words came to his mouth, he still changed his words, "Pipa, if this is our last face, I also want to say thank you to you, when you enter the Zhaotai Palace, if it weren't for your companionship and protection, I may not be able to live to this day, you and Han Zeng are my benefactors, and there is one more thing I want to entrust you, seeing Han Zeng, thank him for me, in the next life, I hope you can hold the hand of your son and grow old with your son; I hope he and I can really become a brother and sister. Huo Chengjun understood the meaning of the pipa, she also wanted to go with Han Zeng, although she wanted to persuade her, she knew that the pipa was not unthinkable, but she loved too much, he was not alive, and she had no intention of living.

Since then, Huo Chengjun has never seen the pipa again, she knows that the pipa is really gone this time, the autumn wind of the slaughter blows the thin clothes, blowing the hair under the shawl, when the hand is light, it is not as black as it was at the beginning, but a few strands of white hair left by time in the green silk, and he coughs lightly in the wind, but he still doesn't want to close the window.

Day after day, the winter snow dances in the air like a silver snake, the plum blossoms outside the window have grown taller, and the white flowers that have been dotted in the distance have been surrounded by a red plum blossom, gorgeous but unassuming.

"Huo Chengjun received the order, His Majesty's holy decree: order Huo Chengjun to move to the Yunlin Pavilion of Shanglin Yuan from now on!" Shanglin Yuan is very large, this relocation spans a county, Zhaotai Palace is in Chang'an City, but Yunlin Hall belongs to Lantian County.

The person who passed the decree was no longer Gonggong Liao, he had already served the first emperor and left, Huo Chengjun took the decree speechlessly, "What happened in the palace?" Huo Chengjun believes that Liu Yi will not let her move at will, not to mention that Lantian County is where Xu Pingjun's Shaoling is located, there will be no connection between this, is he trying to quell someone's gossip, Huo Chengjun is afraid that he will make Liu Yi embarrassed again.

"Before the prince's concubine Sima Liangdi died of illness, Dao was cursed by other wives and concubines to die, the prince was very sad about this, and he didn't see any concubines, and he wanted to mourn the queen Isn't she killed by Huo Xian like this, maybe the prince also thought of you." The sarcasm in the eunuch's eyes, Huo Chengjun could see it.

"Father-in-law, please present this hairpin to Your Majesty, I only want Huo Chengjun to see Your Majesty." Liu Ill has always been pitiful to Liu Zheng, when such a thing happens, the most sad thing should be Liu Ill, it is really no accident that he wants to come and go to Yunlin Pavilion.

Huo Chengjun didn't know that the father-in-law came out of Shanglin Yuan, so he hid the hairpin in his sleeve, "I still want to see Your Majesty like this, don't you let me be scolded, since you want to send it, I will accept it, and tomorrow you will order someone to tell her that Your Majesty does not want to see her!" ”

Huo Chengjun went to the Yunlin Pavilion, and it was like when he first arrived at Zhaotai Palace, the palace people frowned coldly, dragging her sick body, but she did not have the good luck of Zhaotai Palace at that time, although he heard the words from the eunuch, he still lay on the sickbed without giving up, refusing to close the window, hoping to hear Liu Ill's voice, and seeing Liu Ill's figure, but in exchange for the disappointment of day by day.

In the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Yi had already heard a crisp sound, and when he looked up, it was the lotus hairpin from his own hand, and he immediately got up and asked, "How can this thing be here with you?" ”

The eunuch wanted to hide it, but Liu Aiji's gaze was too firm, so he could only report it weakly and truthfully, "How is she?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, she is good."

Under the cold moonlight, Huo Chengjun retraced his eyebrows in the mirror, added rouge to his haggard face, tapped his lips, looked at the plum blossom hairpin in his hand, took out a few white threads in his hair, lightly rolled them in the green silk, and carefully looked at the words on the holy decree, "Sick, your intentions will not be like this, twelve years, they all said that you remembered me again, and you will do this, but I understand that you have never forgotten me, Huo Chengjun will never be reluctant to do anything difficult for you." With that, she looked at the holy decree and looked up at the cold moonlight, showing a relieved smile.

In the early morning of the second day, when Liu Yi had arrived with dewdrops, he saw Huo Chengjun lying on the bed and dying, "Chengjun, I'm here, I should have thought that your heart is so high, how can you stand such an arrangement, why don't you wait for me for a while?" When Liu Yi came in, he heard the palace people say that she committed suicide by taking poison, and the pace under his feet immediately panicked, he thought that if Huo Chengjun went to the Yunlin Pavilion, Liu Zheng, or the courtiers, there would be nothing to say, and it would be difficult to say anything to punish Huo Chengjun, he hoped that even after a hundred years, he could let Huo Chengjun live a dull life, but he forgot that Huo Chengjun was a proud person, and in the eyes of outsiders, he moved to Lantian to face Xu Pingjun's Shaoling and thought about how she could do it.

"I understand your thoughts, you are sick, you still came, I have been in Shanglin Yuan for twelve years, and you still haven't forgotten me." Huo Chengjun and Liu Yi have clenched each other tightly, this bottle of poison has been with her since the moment she left the Jiaofang Palace, and it is still used today, "Providence is not cold, I can see you for the last time, I am sick, I really have to cherish it in the future." ”

Huo Chengjun trembled and took off the plum blossom hairpin on the hairpin with his own hand, "Let me take this away, the plum blossoms bloom when I first meet, and the plum blossoms fall when I say goodbye, it is enough for you to put me in my heart in this life, and you don't have to be embarrassed for me anymore." "Liu Zheng's appearance will definitely make those who have grievances with the Huo family in the court and China make a big fuss.

"Chengjun, Chengjun......" Unfortunately, Huo Chengjun can no longer hear Liu Ai's call, the only thing that can make Liu Ai have been relieved is that Huo Chengjun left with the same smile as when she first met, she never complained about herself, and the person who has the deepest heart in Liu Ai's heart is this person who smiles brightly, after she left, she never wanted to step into the Jiaofang Hall where there were others, so he set up a person who was kind to him, but he would not be pampered, and he was unwilling to be happy with others in her Jiaofang Palace.

In the second year of Yuankang, after the establishment of the Wang family, Liu Ai has changed his name to "Liu Xun", one is to avoid the world's ridicule, and the other is that Liu Ai's heart has gone with Huo Chengjun, and the people in the Weiyang Palace are only Liu Xun, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

"I still have a lot of words to say to you, didn't you say that you would wait for me to lose to me, why did you leave before you fulfilled your promise, Chengjun, who else can I play chess with in the future, who else dares to win me, and who knows that I am so deep?" The man burst into tears, and the scenes reproduced clearly, but when he turned his head, he saw the exact same chess game on the chessboard, "It turns out that you have been gone for twelve years in this game of chess......"

After Zhao Chongguo and Bing Ji also passed away one by one, Liu Ai has fewer and fewer people around him, and those who accompanied him from his youth made him nostalgic, and after Huo Chengjun passed away, he was even more intoxicated with politics, and finally in February of the third year of Ganlu, the Xiongnu called Han evil kowtow and knelt, and belonged to the Han Dynasty.

In May of the third year of Ganlu, Liu Ai has set up the Qilin Pavilion in Weiyang Palace, enshrined eleven Han heroes, and the top of the list is Huo Guang, who has a grudge with Liu Ai, Huo Guang is also the only person who has not been named among the eleven heroes of the Qilin Pavilion, only wrote: Han Da Sima, General, Lu Shang Shushi, Bolu Hou Huo Shi, "Calling the minister is not named" courtesy is Liu Ai's greatest respect for Huo Guang; Zhang Anshi, Han Zeng, Zhao Chongguo, Bing Ji, and Wei Xiang are also among the Qilin Pavilion.

In December, when Liu Yi received the old princess Xie Wu and hoped that the corpse behind him could return to the Han Dynasty, he ordered someone to take him back to the Han Dynasty and treat him as a princess of the Han Dynasty.

And when Liu Yi had heard the sigh of relief, he could only look at the place where Huo Chengjun was buried, the direction of Kunwu Pavilion, and said: "People come to bustle, and there is no white-headed person who can join hands; People come and go, there is no one to talk to at night, even if you have the world, you are a widow, how can you not be an emperor? "As far as Liu is concerned, how sad it is, even after a hundred years, the loved ones cannot be buried in the same cave, and that side has really become a farewell.

In December of the first year of Huanglong, in the vast snow, the incense in front of the Huo's tablet in the Qilin Pavilion was extinguished, and Liu's life came to an end, "Chengjun, you have been in the Jiaofang Palace for five years, and it has been five years since the separation of people today, but you are still waiting for me by the bridge?" On the sickbed, he seemed to see Huo Chengjun's figure coming, holding two hairpins in his hands, calling "Chengjun", leaving behind a prosperous man who "offended me strongly, although he was far away, he would be punished"!

In the same month, Liu Zheng succeeded to the throne, Shangguan Youyu listened to the sound of the mountain crying long live, as if returning to twenty-five years ago, as if he saw that Liu Yi had entered the palace in the chaos, watching him rule the world step by step, watching the people around him pass away one by one, and finally they all went by themselves, "Jingwu got married, Fu became the concubine of Xi'er, you are all gone, leave me to tell people about the helplessness after the prosperity of the Han Dynasty." ”

In the vast white expanse, Shangguan Youhao walked alone on the path, the scene seemed to be in the past, since then, she has never been out of the Changle Palace, the most often in and out is the Yongshou Hall dedicated to the emperors of the past dynasties; Someone once asked why Liu Chengjun still remembered Huo Chengjun after a lapse of 12 years, they only thought that Huo Chengjun's death was from Liu Chengjun's intention, and Shangguan Youhao just smiled and didn't say anything, Huo Chengjun finally got Liu Chengjun's heart, so that twelve years later, she was still planning for Huo Chengjun's future life, but no one thought that Huo Chengjun's love was enough for her to live for Liu Ai and die for Liu Ai.

In the second year of Jianzhao, Shangguan Youhao also closed his eyes peacefully, the era that belonged to them had been buried in the yellow scroll of history with them, and they witnessed the powerful Han Dynasty and composed this song of the Han Dynasty.
