110. It's another three years of autumn color
Wei Li's injury healed slowly, and after three months of removing the splint, he still felt a little dull pain.
Wei Yunxi was clamoring to choose a horse, saying that he must learn to ride a horse before going to Yuhe.
Yu Lanqing couldn't persuade him, so he could only ask Yu Wenwu to take all three children and go to the Imperial Horse Bureau in the palace to choose, to put it bluntly, it was more like going to have a play.
The repair work of Yuhe was not as smooth and fast as Wei Yunxi thought, and the autumn colors were the same every year, and Yuhe was difficult to walk every year.
No matter how strong the obsession is, after time, it will be forgotten in the depths of my heart.
In May of the tenth year of Guangqing, in the imperial garden in the middle of summer, Wei Zijue was reciting Tang poems, he shook his head and half-closed his eyes, and his voice was high and low, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Yu Lanqing listened quietly with the teacup, and from time to time handed a piece of pastry to Wei Yunsi, who was lying on the table staring at Wei Zijue.
Halfway through his back, Wei Zijue suddenly paused, then opened his eyes, looked at Yu Lanqing with an aggrieved expression, and blinked.
Wei Yunsi paused again when he saw him, and sat up straight with round eyes: "Stupid brother, I forgot again!" ”
Wei Zijue's face was flushed, and it took a long time to argue with Wei Yunsi: "I... I'm tired! ”
"You just go on horseback and archery with your big brother and fourth brother! If you don't study seriously, you will be punished by the university every day! Wei Yunsi pouted and jumped down from the stone bench, "I've been carrying it for a long time, and if you can't carry it, I won't wait for you to find the third sister together!" ”
Wei Yunsi crossed his waist in front of Wei Zijue, looking like a child, the two of them are dragon and phoenix twins, and now they are almost five years old, and the older they get, the more they look the same, when they look at each other, they don't know what it feels like.
Hearing Wei Yunsi say that he was going to go to Wei Yunxi to play without waiting for him, Wei Zijue was so anxious that he stumbled when he spoke: "You... You've got to wait for me, me. I have a slingshot, and you don't! ”
The two of them were arguing so funny, Yue Ying added tea to Yu Lanqing on the side, and whispered: "The fifth prince is born with great strength, he likes to practice martial arts the most, and he can play a set of Yu family boxing at the age of five, which shows that the eldest prince likes the five princes and teaches everything." ”
"This kid is the hardest to memorize poems." Yu Lanqing also smiled bitterly and shook his head, the child's heart is not on this, and he can't force it.
Hearing that the two of them were still chattering here, Yu Lanqing suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Zijue, Yun Si, come to the queen mother." ”
Hearing Yu Lanqing's voice, the two of them were honest and obediently stood in front of Yu Lanqing.
Yun Si is a little taller, she looks more like a sister, in fact, this girl is a ghost and elf, compared to Yun Xi, she is not just a little naughty, and the matter of hiding and teasing palace people has long been commonplace, she is not afraid of her father in this palace, not to mention the imperial grandmother, but she is more afraid of Wei Yunxi and Yu Lanqing, no matter what kind of demon king of the world is outside, when it comes to Yu Lanqing and Wei Yunxi, Wei Yunsi is a big tiger with teeth extracted.
"Zijue really can't memorize it, so I'll copy it ten times later and memorize it again." Yu Lanqing saw that he was absent-minded, and the slingshot in his arms had been put all morning, thinking that he had made an appointment to play, and he had been thinking about it, so he couldn't carry it well.
Hearing that Yu Lan was willing to let him go, Wei Zijue grinned: "Thank you Queen Mother." After that, he squeezed his eyebrows at Wei Yunsi proudly, looking like the queen mother loved me the most, which made Wei Yunsi snort, and didn't look too disgusted.
"When you go to find the eldest brother, remember to greet the lady before leaving, since you are a brother and sister playing together, you must also bring your four brothers, you know?" Yu Lanqing carefully advised, if the brother and sister are alienated from each other, the child will definitely feel uncomfortable, and it will be impossible to make up for it when he grows up.
Wei Zijue frowned when he heard Wei Zice: "Queen Mother, the fourth brother always robs Jue'er." ”
Wei Zijue can't beat Wei Zice every time he hits the slingshot, Wei Zice is a year older than him, and he is a lot taller, unlike Wei Zishan who will let him, so Wei Zijue always prefers Wei Zishan.
"If your skills are not as good as others, you are embarrassed to blame the fourth brother, just let the eldest brother and the third sister let you, and your skills are not good." Wei Yunsi made a grimace at Wei Zijue, and when he was done, he ran behind Yue Ying to hide, Wei Zijue chased after him, and was hugged by Yue Ying.
These two children ...
Yu Lanqing hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, and just wanted to say something to let them play, when she heard a voice calling her in the distance.
"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! ”
Cheerful as a lark, Yu Lanqing knew that it was Wei Yunxi from afar.
The big sun, she flew all the way over, and the palace people who followed behind with umbrellas couldn't catch up, Wei Yunxi rushed to Yu Lanqing with her skirt, her face was full of sweat, and her eyes were full of excitement: "Queen Mother, it's repaired!" ”
"What was fixed? Wipe your sweat quickly, run so fast, what it looks like. Yu Lanqing pulled Wei Yunxi over, stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat beads off her face, Yunxi was already seven years old, and the little girl's face was beginning to grow, and she could already see the appearance of the city in the future.
"Yuhe has been repaired, Queen Mother, Xi'er just heard what the father-in-law of Zhao'an in front of the emperor said, the news sent by Kuaima urgently today, this autumn, we can go to Yuhe!" Wei Yunxi was happy, she was the one who wanted to go to Yuhe the most, but unfortunately the project was slow, and Wei Li asked for perfection, and now she waited for the third autumn to wait for the news of Yuhe's completion.
When Wei Zijue and Wei Yunsi heard Wei Yunxi's words, they also grabbed Wei Yunxi's hand left and right, and asked curiously and wistfully: "Sister Yunxi, is Yuhe the place for autumn hunting?" ”
"Sister Yunxi, does Yuhe have mountains, woods and streams? If we go, isn't it like the book says, we can light a campfire on the grass and set up a tent? ”
"Sister Yunxi...
The two little guys always had endless questions, and Wei Yunxi hurriedly interrupted them: "I haven't been there yet, but I think there will be these." After that, he raised his head and looked at Yu Lanqing longingly, "The queen mother must have been there, right?" Tell us about what Hirowa is like. ”
After that, the three of them all looked at Yu Lanqing intently.
But it's a pity that Yu Lanqing hasn't been to Yuhe, she took a sip of the teacup, and slowly shook her head: "The queen mother hasn't been there either." ”
After speaking, the three little guys all sighed in unison, Yu Lanqing chuckled, and continued: "But Jiang Niangniang has been there, if you want to know, when you go to find the fourth prince, you can ask Jiang Niangniang." ”
Jiang Mei spent the most meaningful and happiest three years of her life in Yuhe, which should be a beautiful place in Jiang Mei's eyes, and it must be full of joy and love for her to tell the children about the former Yuhe.
Knowing that someone in the palace had indeed been there, the three guys cheered, and after saluting Yu Lan Qingfu, Wei Yunxi led one by one and walked towards the palace group.
Their voices gradually faded away, and Yu Lanqing had just taken a breath and was about to go to the pond not far in front to feed the fish, when he saw the figure of Zhao An hurrying over from another direction, his eyes were a little red, and his hand holding the dust trembled slightly, and he saluted Yu Lanqing with great patience.
Over the years, Zhao'an has already changed from a young and immature little eunuch to the chief eunuch in front of the Qianming Palace.
Since last year, Wu Yi's body has been failing.
Looking at Zhao An like this now, a bad premonition came to his heart, and before Yu Lanqing could ask what was wrong, he saw that Zhao An couldn't hold back in front of him anymore, and choked up: "Niangniang, slave master... Let's go. ”
He's dead?
Yu Lanqing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly felt pale.
Zhao An hung his head, and then said: "Master went suddenly, the slave just got the news of Yuhe's repair, I want to tell the master, this autumn, we can go to Yuhe, after the master fell ill last year, every day in my heart, is to go to Yuhe, want to go to the place where the first emperor is gone, master this year, always see hallucinations, always tell the slave, the first emperor is talking to him, the slave originally thought... I thought that the master would be able to wait, but when I went today, there were no more people... He didn't know, he didn't know that Yuhe had been repaired, and he didn't know that the emperor had planted a large number of spring flowers in the forest where the first emperor was breathing, and he should go and take a look. ”
The more Zhao An spoke, the more choked he became, and he raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, but he couldn't help but whimper in a low voice.
Wu Yi is a teacher and a father for Zhao'an.
He taught his apprentices all his life's life experience without reservation, and left his life's hard work in the palace to his apprentices without reservation.
Zhao'an's name was taken by Wu Yi, and before entering the palace, he didn't call it this.
Wu Yi said that entering the palace is a new life, and if there is no home outside the palace, he will find a new home in the palace.
Zhao'an means that under the grace and majesty of heaven, it can also be peaceful.
When he was called by the old eunuchs in the palace to drink and wash the toilet, it was Wu Yi who pulled him out of the Huanxi Bureau and became his apprentice in front of the palace.
Wu Yi always likes to say, Zhao'an, you have to remember that when you do things in front of the emperor, you must guard the emperor and never leave an inch.
But he guarded the emperor without leaving half a step, but he failed to guard his master's side, looked at him for the last time, and listened to his last admonition.
He asked Zhao'an to find a home in the palace, and Zhao'an found it, but now the most important person in this family is gone.
Forever.
He can no longer see Yuhe's spring flowers growing in the wind next year, and he will go forever with the first emperor he has in mind.
Zhao An cried like a child, he was not ready to part, but the reality had forced him to accept the facts in front of him.
Yu Lanqing was also bitter in her heart, when she first entered the palace, everyone said that she was not favored, and all the palace people laughed at her behind her back, the queen, it was Wu Yi who disciplined the people in the palace, and his respect for himself was never decided because of whether he was favored or not.
He is the real guardian of the throne, he guards the royal face handed over to Wei Li from the first emperor, until the moment he dies, he must be proud to tell the first emperor that the current Great Wei is very good, very good.
Zhao An didn't dare to show such sad emotions in front of Wei Li, Wu Yi could be regarded as having served Wei Li with all his heart for nearly ten years, and if you really want to talk about it, he served Wei Li when he was still very young.
Wei Li was also sad at this time, meditating in the Qianming Palace, with mixed feelings.
He still had Yuhe's repaired fold in his hand, and the good news and bad news arrived at the same time, and Wei Li really realized what fate meant to make people.
Time never waits for anyone or anything, and if you leave, you leave forever, and no one has a chance to do it again.
Originally... When the prison cage was completed three years ago, Wu Yi could follow him to Yuhe to have a look.
But he fell off the horse, and then he was afraid that Yu Lanqing would be worried, afraid that she would be cranky, and in the past three years, Wei Li has been guarding Yu Lanqing every step of the way, guarding the children, and in front of her, he has been conditioning his body.
He can still wait, but Wu Yi can't wait.
In Zhao'an's heart, except for Wu Yi, the closest person in this palace was the queen who forgave his sins like a god.
He asked for his life to tell Yu Lanqing, and after crying, although the pain in his heart was not alleviated, his emotions were obviously vented.
Yu Lanqing sat with Zhao Jing for a long time, until his red and swollen eyes returned to normal, and then followed Zhao An to the Qianming Palace.
"Your master's body has already been collected?" Yu Lanqing asked softly, and when he said the word 'corpse', he obviously hesitated, but this is already an established fact after all, and sooner or later it will have to be accepted.
Zhao An nodded slightly, and after a long time, he realized that he was following Yu Lanqing, and the queen couldn't see it, and said again: "Yes, I have taken it away." ”
"Your master has gone through two kings and dedicated his life conscientiously, and the emperor will definitely have a good burial." Yu Lanqing was relieved, but the regret in Zhao An's peace of mind may always be regret.
Zhao An stopped in front of the gate of the Qianming Palace: "Niangniang, go in, the emperor is inside, and the slaves are waiting here." ”
He is doing his duty, which is what Wu Yi has always taught him and engraved in his bones, and he must do a good job.
Zhao'an stands here, which is the best memory of Wu Yi.
Yu Lan cleared his head, and before entering the door, he stretched out his hand again and patted Zhao An's shoulder: "Your master, I am proud of you." ”
Zhao An bit his lip and lowered his head, tears falling to the ground.
Yu Lanqing walked into the Qianming Hall and saw Wei Li leaning on the back of his chair in a gloomy manner, staring at the beams and pillars above his head.
The footsteps approached, and Wei Li spoke in a hoarse voice: "Qing'er." ”
He knew that it was her, and over the years, the tacit understanding between the two people had already become an instinctive cognition.
Yu Lanqing walked to Wei Li's side, stretched out his hand, and took Wei Li's hand: "The emperor mourns." ”
Wei Li blinked: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape." ”
But the person who was in front of him every day suddenly disappeared, and Wei Li felt dazed and scared.
It is said that it hurts to the bones in an instant, but it is indeed not.
But when he saw the teacup in his hand, the marigold with mist in his hand, and the folds piled up in his hand were a little messy, he wanted to open his mouth to call Wu Yi, but found that there was no answer.
Wei Li's heart hurt.
The real parting came in a hurry.
"I ... wanted Wu Yi to be buried in Yuhe, Zhao'an said that Wu Yi thought about it and wanted to go to the place where the first emperor died. ”
Wei Li said very softly, as if Wu Yi was still by his side, listening to his words.
Wu Yi no longer has a family, and Wei Li still remembers that he once asked him when he was chatting at night if he had ever thought about where he would be buried when he died in the future.
Wu Yi said that he wanted to stay in the royal family, and the souls of the dead after death also stayed in the royal family.
He didn't remember his hometown for a long time, the capital of Great Wei, just take it as his hometown.
Yu Lanqing nodded and said Okay, Wu Yi is an old eunuch of the two dynasties, and Wei Li doesn't want to do it in a hurry when it comes to the funeral.
After a month of preparation, Wei Li finally set a grave for Wu Yi in Yuhebian.
The eunuch died, even if he was a former eunuch, he was just a slave.
Therefore, Wu Yi's coffin could only go from outside the Sanbian Gate, and Zhao An got Wei Li's permission and specially rushed to send one to his master.
Zhao'an wore linen and filial piety, in the whole team, it was extremely eye-catching, he personally held Wu Yi's spirit card, from the offering house to the outside of the imperial city, he came and went.
The slave was mourned, and he couldn't mourn in the imperial city, Zhao An held the spirit card tightly in his arms, and his ears were the murmurs of the past Chaosheng, his tears rolled down his cheeks, his trembling lips, and his trembling hands, but he still looked ahead stubbornly, and said goodbye to his master in a dignified manner.
"The soul returns, and the soul goes long."
"Dreams are homesick, homesickness."
"Come and go, have fun."
"Born and separated, where."
The chanter in front of him suddenly stopped and said softly, "Please go first." ”
Zhao'an's tears flowed down even more, and he let go of some of his body and let the coffin go first.
He knelt down, put the tablet in front of him, and kowtowed heavily to the tablet and the coffin he walked by: "Apprentice Zhao'an, send off Master, may Master ascend to Bliss as soon as possible, may Master ascend to Bliss early." ”
Nod your head to the ground until the whole coffin has stepped over the door in front of you.
"To."
The chanter spoke, and Zhao'an got up from the ground and continued to follow.
"The dead die, don't look back, don't look back."
In front of the second door, Zhao An knelt down, bowed heavily, and saw him off in a loud voice: "Apprentice Zhao An, send off Master, may Master never return, may Master never return." ”
Three partial doors, as the name suggests, three doors, out of the third door, is the end of farewell.
Zhao An was about to lose his footing, he was pulled up from the ground, he had already cried so much that he forgot his identity, if he could, he would never want to be the chief eunuch of the imperial front, he just wanted to follow Wu Yi forever, to be that hairy little boy who didn't understand anything, he just wanted to hear Wu Yi's teachings forever.
"Master! Master! ”
In front of the three doors, the light hit, and the front was already the end of the road, and he was about to part, but he didn't want to let go, and he couldn't let go.
Zhao An hugged the spirit card tightly, cried until he lost his voice, and cried until he knelt on the ground, as if he had returned to the night when he was picked up by Wu Yi and had a hot meal.
"In the future, you can be my apprentice, if I have a bite to eat, I won't be hungry."
"But it's hard to be my apprentice, if you don't work hard, I'll send you back."
"I'm not patient, I don't like to say it a second time, you have to memorize it all."
。。。
But he was obviously very patient, telling and teaching over and over again.
He worked hard and was very serious, and he received a lot of compliments.
But... What about the man who smiled kindly?
"Zhao'an can't do well, Zhao'an hasn't done anything well, Master, you look at Zhao'an again, and teach Zhao'an again!"
Zhao An screamed and cried bitterly, he stretched out his hand, but he couldn't grasp the coffin in front of him that was carried out of the door, he only grabbed the air of nothingness.
Now... Nothing.
The spirit card was pulled from his chest.
They all called him to mourn, Zhao'an's hand was raised, for a long time, before finally falling down, he choked, knelt and sat down, watching them go away, leaving the imperial city, going to Yuhe, and finally kowtowed to the last one, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Apprentice Zhao'an, send off Master, Master rest assured, Zhao'an... Always remember Master's teachings. ”
He knelt here, the wind blowing in his ears, drying all the tears from his face.
I don't know how long it has been, Zhao An only feels that his entire lower body has lost consciousness, but he doesn't want to raise his head, he kneels like this, as if he can stop time forever.
But he knew it in his heart, and he went.
Whether you look up or not, you can't see anything.
"Zhao'an."
Someone called him, familiar voice.
Zhao An turned his head violently: "Master... ”
There was nothing behind him, and the cry seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao An's clenched fists gradually relaxed, he turned to look ahead, and muttered, "Master, is it you?" Send you in vain, and send you again. ”
There was no more superfluous response.
It didn't take long for footsteps to come from behind him, and Zhao An didn't look back until the man stopped beside him, and Zhao An subconsciously glanced at it, and saw a pair of embroidered shoes with peony patterns.
Empress.
Zhao An was stunned, and hurriedly moved some to kowtow to Yu Lanqing: "How can the queen mother come to such a place, slave... ”
"Get up." Yu Lanqing stretched out his hand and handed it to Zhao An's eyes, "Your master, you must know, he must have been relieved to go." ”
Zhao An raised his head, and the sun shone on Yu Lanqing's shoulders.
"The Queen..." Zhao An cried, wiped his sleeves clean, raised his hand to hold Yu Lanqing's hand, and slowly stood up, "The slave is the master, thank the queen mother." ”
Yu Lanqing smiled lightly and patted Zhao An's shoulder: "Let's go, go back." ”
Zhao An nodded, followed Yu Lanqing and walked back, Yue Ying supported him, knelt for a long time, limped, he turned his head, and looked at the empty world outside the palace gate one last time.
The way of inheritance lies in the continuation of life.
He's alive.
In the bottom of Zhao'an's heart.
