Chapter 49: The Princess's Affair
It turned out that this punishment that almost killed him, but the ghost god of death helped him improve his skills, and he was born after death, so there was really such a thing? But I still had lingering palpitations, and I asked Xiaofuzi: "To be honest, will you regret that I gave you that book?" ”
Xiaofuzi looked at me and said, "I know that you have been using me, but, apart from you, who else in this world cares about me, even if they are taking advantage of me?" You didn't hesitate to give me the martial arts secrets that the people in the rivers and lakes were eager for, so that I could really live like a person from being despised and looked down upon, how could I regret it? ”
I didn't think that in Xiaofuzi's mind, I had become his benefactor, I touched my nose embarrassedly, and wondered, am I too cold to Xiaofuzi, so sure that he can survive that punishment, if it weren't for this coincidence, it would have almost really made a big mistake......
It seems that Xiaofuzi still understands me, and he asked me: "You asked me about the improvement of my skills, is there anything you want me to do?" ”
I looked at him as he took it for granted, and suddenly felt sorry in my heart......
I said, "If you were to sneak into the palace now and go to the library to check a booklet called Living Directory, it would be okay, right?" ”
Xiao Fuzi looked at me coldly: "It's easy for me to get to your residence, let alone the place where ghosts don't go?" ”
I remembered, it turned out that since Xiaofuzi became a eunuch, the first place he stayed was there, and I forgot.
This is a booklet that records the living and eating of the emperor today, when today, as the world, in order to pass on to future generations, of course, there is such a book similar to the historical record of his big and small things. The era I traveled through is somewhat similar to the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but it is not the same, but in some aspects, it is still somewhat similar, that is, the various rules and regulations of the emperor, for example, this kind of booklet called the living record, which is filled in by the clerk, records the big and small things that happen to the emperor every day, of course, its authenticity is still up for debate.
I estimate that with the temper of the emperor today, all the records recorded by the historians must be all good things that praise merit and virtue, and none of the bad things dare to remember.
Not only him, but even the emperor Tang Taizong, who is known as a generation of saints, once wanted to go through the back door, and asked Chu Suiliang, who was a historian at the time, to show him the record of his words and deeds, I guess he was thinking of changing the words and deeds that were unfavorable to him, Chu Suiliang stiffened his neck, and said: "Only emperors who have done bad things always want to read their own living records......" Tang Taizong was so angry that he blew his beard, but he was helpless, and he also pretended to give Chu Suiliang an official and a knight to commend him.
But today's emperor, does he have the big mind of Tang Taizong? If there is really anything wrong with the historian, then the historian's head is probably almost gone, I guess, the facts recorded in this living record are probably 100% good, but it is a relatively real thing after all, if it is a real thing, but there are many things that can be seen from it.
For example, what happened to Zhaoyue, who was the eldest princess, when she was young?
Why would the emperor only send her concubine Xue Changgui to investigate the matter of the general?
Thinking of the time when I was a child climbing trees, the general was polite and cold to the princess, and thinking about their age, I have to have a little ambiguous association in my mind.
The news brought by Xiaofuzi confirmed my association: the eldest princess was fifteen, and she chose a horse, and Situ Counselor won the heart of the princess, but the counselor refused to have a wife at home.
In just a few records, I read a lot of content, it turns out that the general and Princess Zhaoyue still have such a play, which shows how charming Situ's mother is, and the general doesn't even want the princess, which is completely different from the Chen Shimei-type Xue Changgui.
I think that the princess may not be able to forget the general, even if she is married to Xue Changgui, the emperor understands this, and Xue Changgui understands this even more, otherwise, the emperor will not send Xue Changgui to investigate the general's collaboration with the enemy, the emperor wants to control the general to death, and send his rival to investigate his collaboration with the enemy, and it is difficult not to die.
Think about Xue Changgui who committed suicide by taking poison and died in the palace of the Queen Mother, and he still remembered the princess before he died, and he thought that he had a deep love for the princess, but what made him commit suicide willingly, and betrayed his master, Concubine Xian?
Western Chu since the defeat of General Situ, the frontier was greatly injured, and the Great Qi should take advantage of the victory to pursue, at this time, but the news that the Emperor of Great Qi was seriously ill came and sent the prince to supervise the country, and the border war stopped, and Western Chu was able to breathe a little so far, but the heavy troops sent by Great Qi to the frontier have not decreased, and it seems that they are waiting for the opportunity. The prince of Daqi is diligent in state affairs, the government is well organized, the ministers praise each other, even the second prince Xuan Wang and the third prince Rui Wang who has just returned to China are all surrendered, the prince's mansion is full of people coming and going every day, and the people who give gifts are endless, just waiting for the emperor for a hundred years, Qi Shaoyuan, the prince of Qi State, ascends to the big treasure, just around the corner.
Xiaofuzi and I sat in the crowded Qunfang Pavilion, listening to these businessmen from all over the world talk about the current affairs of Daqi, the war that made Xichu lose 100,000 soldiers and horses, as if it had become extremely distant, and now, people are embracing beautiful women like flowers, bright lights, drunk and golden, enjoying the short-term pleasure brought by the end of the war......
I sat in a conspicuous position in the hall, and the people around me looked at my table from time to time, of course they were white from time to time, how could he sit in the best position with this person who was not amazing, and who was not dressed in expensive clothes, and sat in the best position, how could he still hold the ice beauty who never had a good eye on other guests on weekdays? It's just a matter of holding it, and he also asks Baoqin to take this for him from time to time, take that, and use Baoqin as a little girl? What made them even more angry was that this hug qin, who had never smiled, had a flower hanging on his smiling face, and kept flattering the young man?
Could it be that this young man has a lot of background, is it a private visit by a noble relative? Looking at his style, that momentum, I'm afraid that yes, the people around him couldn't help but have a little respect in their eyes, fortunately, no one dared to step forward to meddle in things, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, everyone learned to be more obedient.
The corner of my eyes swept over those people, looking at them and looking at me, their eyes changed from horizontal eyebrows to a little respect, but there were too many admirers of Baoqin, I was eating happily, and I saw that Baoqin's face sank sharply, and the face that was smiling like Caixia suddenly sank like frost, and when I saw it, there was an old man, sixty or seventy years old, dressed in satin clothes, gray hair, with a smile on his face, and walked towards Baoqin......
