Chapter 532: National Flower Peony

The founding methods of the Tang Empire were damaged, and in the end, the emperors of the Tang Empire died in extremely strange ways.

Li Shimin took the pill given by the monk and died of poison.

Emperor Li Zhi did not learn his lesson, and also took the so-called 'red pill', and finally died of poison.

After the death of Emperor Li Zhi, the queen of heaven Wu Cao became self-reliant and changed the name of the Tang Dynasty to Zhou, so the world was in chaos and the people were chattering.

Finally, when Wu Cao pacified the rebellious army, the entire Tang Dynasty fell by half out of thin air.

Wu Cao was originally a person in the Demon Gate, and her demonic skills ran through the world, if she didn't ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five Honor, it would be just that, with her previous achievements, she ascended to heaven to be an immortal, which was more than enough.

But after Wu Cao became the emperor, the demonic qi on his body clashed with the golden light of protecting the country, coupled with the backlash of the Li family's luck, Wu Cao's luck fell again and again.

Only three years after ascending the throne, Wu Cao recruited 3,000 faces, corrupting people, and the Great Zhou National Fortune she established continued to decline, and it was already less than one-tenth of the original Tang Dynasty National Fortune.

The national fortune is insufficient, and the golden light of protecting the country naturally decays, and then demons and monsters are born.

As a result, the grassland tribes that had already been attached rebelled again.

Wu Cao was the emperor for a total of 12 years, and during the 12 years, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in war every year, and the people were struggling to make a living.

Twelve years later, Wu Cao was already over eighty years old, and he no longer had the energy to govern the country, so he had no choice but to announce the return of the Li family.

In the early years, Wu Cao's daughter Princess Taiping wanted to learn from her mother to be the emperor, but was beheaded by Wu Cao's grandson Li Longji.

By this time, Wu Cao's sons and daughters had already been slaughtered.

Originally, above Wu Cao's head, Sheng Long's luck soaring into the sky was gone by this time.

Wu Cao had no luck to support, and his grandson Li Longji ascended the throne, and the luck of the Tang Empire backfired, so Wu Cao, who was supposed to die and ascend to heaven, actually sank to hell after death.

Alas!

One more thing.

Because of Wu Cao's chaotic life, the peony flowers in the entire Nanzhan Buzhou were eradicated, leaving only the Beibi Mountain Ghost Gate Pass, and there were clusters of peony flowers, which were competing to open when the Spring Festival came.

Peony, bright color, a wide variety, plus peony flowers, the body fragrance is extremely strong, the body is large and plump, very in line with the aesthetic sense of the plump beauty of the Tang people.

A poet once wrote: "Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom!" ”

Such a beautiful peony can only be seen in the Beibi Mountains in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Originally, when Wu Cao was there, no one dared to come to Beibi Mountain to play.

Now Wu Cao has gone, so at the beginning of spring and March, the originally gloomy Beibi Mountain has begun to be crowded, and countless tourists have come to watch the peony blossoms.

There are many tourists, many poets, and many poems have been written for these peonies.

"The remnants of the red began to spit out the fragrance, and the good name is called the King of Flowers. boasted of the unparalleled beauty in the world and monopolized the first fragrance in the world. ”

"Peony Qi is good at Luodu Spring, and there are hundreds of flowers and thousands of flowers. The national color is bright and soothing, and the fairy crown overlaps and cuts red clouds. ”

The peony flower has been justified in the mundane world, but the peony fairy is still suffering in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion.

"Then since Wu Cao is gone, why hasn't the Peony Fairy been recalled to Heaven again?"

"Wu Cao just ordered the peony flowers in the mortal world to be demoted to Beibi Mountain, and it was those flower gods in the heavenly court who demoted the peony fairy to the mortal world."

"Those flower gods are also afraid of Wu Cao, so they will do this, since you said that Wu Cao lost his merits and went to the underworld, those flower gods don't need to be afraid of Wu Cao, why don't you recall the peony fairy back to heaven?"

"Well, that's the complexity of human nature!"

The water clouds are slanted in the shade of the flowers, and more than a dozen women are playing the popular Keju not far away, with slender and flawless jade feet, without a trace of it, kicking the Keju made of spider silk, which looks lively and lovely, charming and gorgeous.

Shui Yun was surrounded by only the two daughters of Baoqin and Qi Su, and Ying Bao, the king of the daughter country, was chatting with Shui Yun with great interest.

"What does this have to do with human nature?"

"Do you know that this peony flower is rich and fragrant, graceful and luxurious after the flower blooms, and has the air of wealth and nobility, and is known as the 'king of flowers' by the world."

"That being the case, so why can't Heavenly Court snub her?"

"Listen to me, no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days. Although this peony fairy has thousands of manners, national color and fragrance, noble character, and dignified and elegant manners, there are always some inconsistencies, such as arrogance, such as bright colors and so on. In the past, even if other immortals knew, but because this peony fairy was quite favored by the world, all fairies would only learn from her and befriend her. ”

"Doesn't this prove the preciousness of the Peony Fairy?"

"But you have to know what is the reason why the peony fairy was degraded, the hundred flower fairies are all afraid of Wu Cao's prostitution, and the peony fairy alone is not afraid of power and blooms on time. After Wu Cao issued an edict to degrade the peony plant, the flower god found an excuse, and then the peony fairy was degraded to the Qinglou and humiliated. If the peony fairy was recalled after Wu Cao's death, wouldn't it be an advertisement to the world, degrade her, and send her to the Qinglou for humiliation, is it the mistake of the flower gods of the heavenly court? ”

"Knowing your mistakes and not changing them, it's hateful! It's so hateful! ”

Ying Bao clenched his little fist, his eyes were angry, and his face and cheeks were bulging with anger.

Shui Yun smiled lightly: "Actually, what I said just now is just the superficial cause and effect of Heavenly Court not recalling this peony fairy, and there are two internal reasons. ”

Ying Bao couldn't hide her surprise: "There are two more?" ”

"One of the internal reasons for this, this peony fairy was demoted to the mortal, although it was due to chaos, the root cause was that the high-level Immortal Buddha of the Heavenly Court ignored mundane affairs and devoted himself to cultivation. When something happens, according to the cold rules, punish them heavily. The technique is similar, the hand hurts and the hand hurts and the foot hurts and chops the foot. They don't care about the reason and the root cause, let alone the good and the bad. ”

"According to what you say, this immortal Buddha is really incompetent!"

"It's not that they're incompetent, it's that they're helpless!" Shui Yun said: "The Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court is in charge of the Three Realms, although he has the assistance of the Six Emperors, but there are many large and small affairs, if the Jade Emperor takes care of everything personally, even if there are thousands of incarnations, he can't handle it all." The Jade Emperor himself still has to cultivate, so in this way, many things will not be dealt with in a timely manner. The backlog of affairs has changed from quantity to quality, and the immortals and Buddhas are slowly not looking for the Jade Emperor, but doing things in violation of regulations. In this way, the source of this violation is also to reduce the burden on the Jade Emperor, so in order to maintain harmony, the Jade Emperor can only turn a blind eye, and some things, out of sight. ”

"It's not evil, it's even more hateful!"

Ying Bao has also been the lord of a country, and he can understand what Shui Yun said, but understanding does not mean agreeing, and continued to ask: "What about the second internal reason?" ”

"This peony fairy has a backstage in the heavenly court, and the reason why she can be called the 'king of flowers' is because she has the queen mother as her backer. On weekdays, this peony fairy has a lot of arrogance on weekdays, but now that the queen mother is in retreat and cultivating, the other flower gods take the opportunity to torture and humiliate her, but the flower gods are intending, this peony fairy itself is noble, graceful and luxurious, but it was relegated to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion and suffered the humiliation of ordinary people. After the queen mother's retreat is over, knowing what happened to this peony fairy, how can she trust her again? ”

"These flower fairies have such vicious thoughts!"

Where did Ying Bao think that these flower fairies would have such a sinister purpose, and couldn't help but shudder: "This can't be your imagination and deceive me, right?" ”

"You don't believe me?"

"Don't believe it!"

"How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"I'll take you around and show you if what I say is true or false......"
