Chapter 21 Xiling Snow Mountain

Hearing the seventh master say this, Liang Ruoyi and I glanced at each other, and we both felt a little emotional: Tang Shunzong Li Yu, who has been the prince for twenty-six years, was already seriously ill when he became the emperor, and he couldn't speak; The poet Xue Tao, at the age of sixteen, entered the music book and became a camp prostitute, fell in love with the prince for the first time, but never entered the palace, for the first love for more than 20 years without marriage, but at the age of forty-one fell in love with the poet Yuan Zhen, who was eleven years younger than himself, but only three months together, they separated again, so that they later became a Taoist priest......

What are the lives of these two people! It stands to reason that an emperor and a poet of peerless elegance sound like that, but I believe that if these two people were allowed to choose again, most of them would not want to live like this.

"After Li Yu became the emperor, in order to consolidate his centralized power, although he was terminally ill, he still started reforms, which is known as 'Yongzhen Reform' in history." The seventh master continued: "But because of the opposition of the powerful ministers below, in August 805 AD, the sick Li Yu was forced to announce his abdication, and the crown prince Li Chun ascended the throne, which was Tang Xianzong. In 806 AD, Li Xu, also known as Tang Shunzong, died of depression a year after the death of his father Tang Dezong and after only eight months as emperor. ”

Yes, it didn't end well. It seems that this emperor, from birth to death, did not enjoy a few years of happiness.

"This is the canonical history." The Seventh Master then smiled and said: "Even if it is the official history, the cause of Tang Shunzong's death is also a mystery, because this person is actually very smart and scheming, and he can be a prince for twenty-six years without being deposed, which is rare in the entire Chinese history, which shows that this person is surprisingly big-minded, and he can endure anything but anything." ”

My mind suddenly opened: "Seventh Master, if I guess, this Tang Shunzong Li Yu can't speak after a stroke, is it pretending?" After announcing his death, it was actually fake, he did not die, but went to Huanhuaxi, Chengdu, to find his lover Xue Tao, right? ”

"You can be a screenwriter, boy!" The old clam stretched out a shiny thumbs up to me: "If the TV series is played like this, it must be popular!" Let's do this now! ”

The seventh master laughed: "Xiao Gu, you guessed half right." Of course, what I heard was also wild history, but I think it's more credible. It is true that Tang Shunzong Li Yu had a stroke, and it is also true that he lost the ability to speak, but this disease is far less serious. After becoming the emperor, Li Yu began to innovate Yongzhen, but after a few months, this matter has aroused the opposition of the ministers below, Li Yu is afraid at this time, he is afraid that it will cause the Anshi Rebellion or the Jingyuan Mutiny again, if he really comes for the third time, he and the Tang Empire will be really dangerous. So, Li Yu chose to go with the flow, abdicated to his son Li Chun, and became the emperor himself. ”

"That said, he's really not dead!"

"That's right." The seventh master nodded: "After Li Yu became the emperor for a few months, he found that most of the people around him were killed or transferred, and if he continued like this, he was also in danger, so he and his ministers used a transfer plan and made a fake death, including Tang Xianzong Li Chun was deceived at that time, everyone thought that the emperor had died, but the real Li Yu had escaped from Chang'an overnight and went straight to Chengdu. ”

"If that's the case......" Liang Ruoyi was fascinated by it, and said with his hands on his cheeks: "This story can be regarded as complete." ”

"But Li Yu didn't live long." The seventh master smiled bitterly: "Because I was already sick, I was under too much pressure in my heart, and I ran wildly all the way, and I was already seriously ill when I arrived in front of Xue Tao." The more important reason is that because she hasn't seen her for many years, Xue Tao has long forgotten Li Chen's appearance, and she has no place for Li Yu in her heart, so she is very cold to Li Xu, and in less than a year's work, Li Yu died of depression. ”

"What about Xue Tao? What happened to her in the end? Liang Ruoyi asked.

"Two years after Li Yu left, Xue Tao met Yuan Zhen." The seventh master counted with his fingers: "After Yuan Zhen, Xue Tao became a Taoist priest, still living in Huanhuaxi, there are still many visitors, a few years later, moved to Biji Fang, near Jinsi Street in Chengdu City, built a poetry building, and spent the last time alone. In 832 AD, Xue Tao died at the age of 64. ”

"Alas-" After listening to this story, Liang Ruoyi actually showed the melancholy look of a little daughter I had never seen before, and sighed, but did not say anything.

"So, where is Hanjia?" I'm still more interested in this: "It's Li Longji, the mausoleum that Tang Xuanzong built for himself!" ”

"Ha, I'll read you another poem, and you'll know." The seventh master is a poet today!

I shrugged, "Read it, I won't anyway." ”

"It's easy!" The seventh master said with a smile: "The window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is berthed in the Dongwu Wanli ship." You should know this sentence! ”

"Yes!" I subconsciously raised my hand: "This is Du Fu's poem!" ”

"Where is it written?"

"This, this ......" I scratched my head and looked at Liang Ruoyi: "Beauty, this opportunity is for you!" ”

"Stupid!" Liang Ruoyi gave me a blank look: "I told you that I was in Chengdu, and even the name was in the poem, why don't you know it!" Xiling, Xiling Snow Mountain! ”

"Xiling Snow Mountain?" I frowned, "I really didn't know there was such a mountain." ”

Then I remembered something, and turned my head to look at the seventh master: "No, seventh master, didn't you still say that you didn't know where to go in the morning, why do you know it now?" ”

"I don't know now." The seventh master glanced at his watch: "We only know that it is in Xiling Snow Mountain, but where it is, I only know a legend, there is a general location in the legend, and it is estimated that the news that Miss Liang got this time is not as accurate." I've never been either. Moreover, that place is only in this season to have a chance to enter, in other seasons, there is a thick fog, and it is not worth the risk. ”

"Forget it, it's good to know that it's in Xiling Snow Mountain, anyway, I'm not worried about this, it's your old thing!" As I spoke, I stood up and stretched: "It's almost ten o'clock, go back to sleep!" ”

Because this hotel was opened by a friend of Liang Ruoyi, so we each prepared a separate suite, I went back to my room and took a shower first, watched TV for a while, and then lay on the bed, thinking about the story told by the seventh master at night.

I suddenly felt that history is still very interesting, these characters are actually just like us, an emperor, who was the crown prince for twenty-six years, and then ascended the throne as the emperor, but only did it for eight months, and finally fell ill, and couldn't even speak, I don't know what it was like for Li Yu to face the indifferent Xue Tao at the end.

Thinking about it, I took out my phone again, opened the map, and took a look at Xiling Snow Mountain. It turns out that this mountain is very close to our current location, and then go a little way to the west, the highest peak of this mountain is called Miaoji Ridge, more than 5,000 meters above sea level, it is scary to think about it, is it possible to become Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, will build a mausoleum for himself on a snow-capped mountain?

While thinking about it, she sent a message to Xiaoxiao, she was just about to go to sleep, so she said goodnight to each other, turned off the lights and prepared to sleep. When he lay down, he touched the pocket in his clothes, and found that it was empty, and he was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that the dragon carved jade plate that he had been carrying here had been placed at home, which was ordered by the second uncle.

Thinking of this dragon carved jade plaque, I remembered what Chai Lao Wu said to Sun Miaomiao not long ago in Daling Mountain. They said they had information about all the places where the dragon carved jade plaques were hidden, so they found the last dragon carved jade plaque, and deduced that I should have several pieces in my possession.

Then, the person who told them the information was most likely the one who hid the dragon carved jade plaque. The key point is not here, but that no matter who this person is, why don't he take the dragon carved jade plate to open the iron box? Also, I think my grandfather Gu Xiansheng is very suspicious, he threw this box to Qingyue Daoist, and he hasn't looked for it for decades, why?

Do you think there's something bad in this box?

I shook my head in bed, unable to open my eyes anymore, rolled over, and fell into a deep sleep.
