Chapter 117: Reunion is also a farewell
The sky is clear and smokeless, and the old dream has come true. The sword aura is still cold, and the first quarter moon of that year only shines on yesterday's Nanshan.
Today's hairpin in hand, I want to see it but I am afraid to see it. Ten miles of lotus should have no memory, the five flavors are mixed, and I wish to forget the south of the Yangtze River.
"The poor nun disturbed Your Majesty, and when she saw that the weather was cold, she brought some charcoal fire and asked Your Majesty to punish her." Mrs. Jing Ci walked in with a charcoal fire and said only in a promise.
"Mrs. Shi came just in time, I ordered someone to remove these drinks and dishes, I want to have a good chat with Yan'er for a while."
"Yes, yes, poor nuns will withdraw!" Mrs. Shi hurriedly ordered someone to withdraw the wine and food.
It turned out that at the beginning, Mrs. Jing Ci just overheard a few words, worried that someone would disturb her, and thought: It's better to stay outside the door by yourself! By the way, I probe the situation. Later, he was shocked by the truth of the matter and didn't want to leave even more. Fortunately, a novice nun saw that the master was freezing outside, so she brought her a pot of charcoal, which happened to relieve her. After hurriedly packing up and leaving, he ordered no one to disturb His Majesty, and then went to the meditation room next door to meditate.
Although people are meditating, their hearts still fly out of the door, it turns out that this Jinyu is really not an idle person, and the emperors of the two countries like her. Why did it end up like this? But he didn't have the guts to eavesdrop again.
What Xiao Yixuan said just now was still echoing in Murong Ningyan's ears, and his experience was really full of bizarreness. History says that Zhao Kuangyin is a person who knows how to raise obscurity first, and his rules are correct, which is not false at all, otherwise how can a fugitive become a generation of kings who recover the world.
There were only two people in the room, Xiao Yixuan continued: "I once returned to Jiangnan that day and wanted to take Yan'er away, but I had no choice but to listen to Zhao Pu's words, I heard that you are living well, he spoiled you to the extreme, and just had a child, I retreated, thinking that as long as you live happily." β
"You've been looking for me?"
"yesγγγγγγ" Xiao Yixuan told Zhao Pu's cousin about the situation that day.
Xiao Yixuan asked with some reluctance: "If you had seen me at that time, would you have gone with me?" β
"That's true, Zhao Pu is right, the weight of a child in a mother's heart is limitless, don't mention the past."
Murong Ningyan paused and asked, "It is said that you imprisoned Li Yu?" In fact, he is very talented, but he is not suitable to be a king. Born in the wrong era, it shouldn't be in the emperor's family. β
"According to my original intention, I forcibly separated the two of us back then, and I wanted to cut him with a thousand knives, but when he really became a slave to the country, I don't know why? I can always find a trace of my sadness in him, and I can't do anything to him. I also appreciate his talent, and if it weren't for this relationship, maybe we would still be good brothers. Therefore, not only did they not kill him, but they also gave him a mansion and gave him preferential treatment. β
Seeing that Murong Ningyan was silent, Xiao Yixuan asked, "The queen who is good and dignified is not right, why did she come to the temple to be a nun?" β
Speaking of this, Murong Ningyan's heart was turbulent, and then he said with a gloomy expression: "Are you embarrassed to ask?" Isn't it your own work that has created the current situation? β
Xiao Yixuan regretted it after asking, and he couldn't wait to slap himself, which pot he really didn't open. I had to smile awkwardly and say, "What did I do with it?" β
"If you hadn't sent a fake monk to fool Li Yu, saying that you would have to use the lives of your loved ones to exchange for the stability of the country, would he have killed my son like that?"
Speaking of Zhong Xuan, who died unjustly, Murong Ningyan couldn't suppress his sadness and began to cry.
"Yan'er, you blame me, I really didn't do this, I didn't instruct the fake monk to harm your child, I know that you love your child so much, how can I let you be sad?" Xiao Yixuan looked at Murong Ningyan with an innocent expression.
"You dare to swear to the Buddha that the little elder is not the spy you planted next to Li Yu?" Murong Ningyan endured the anger in his heart, squinted his eyes at Xiao Yixuan and said in a low voice.
"Smoke, I'm sorry! It's my fault, I did send someone to Li Yu's side, but this is just a strategic means between countries. But Yan'er, I must explain that I only sent him, I don't know the details, what kind of strategy he used he didn't consult with me, it was all his improvisation, if I knew that you would be grief-stricken because of this, how could I make you sad? So when I learned that he had killed your child, I had him put him to death. β
"Anyway, there is no confrontation in death, even if he stands in front of you now, it won't help, he is your courtier, you want him to die today, he can't live until tomorrow, you can say whatever you want now." Murong Ningyan said resentfully.
"Yan'er, it's really not like this, I'm your Yixuan brother, although I haven't come to you for so many years, I can't let go of you in my heart, how can I bear to see you sad? You have to trust me. Xiao Yixuan gently patted Murong Ningyan's back.
Then he continued: "Having said that, as a person with a normal mind, no matter how much others instigate him, he should have his own judgment, right? He had lost his mind. β
In fact, Murong Ningyan also agrees with this in his heart, but now it is meaningless to judge who is right and who is wrong, and Zhong Xuan will not be able to come back after all.
Seeing that Murong Ningyan didn't speak, Xiao Yixuan sat down next to Murong Ningyan, hugged her shoulder lightly and said affectionately: "Yan'er, go back with me, if you don't like the life of the emperor, I can abdicate." To fulfill my promise to you, let's raise flowers and plants, travel the world, enjoy the beautiful scenery of rivers and mountains, give birth to a bunch of children to enjoy the family, find the happiness that should belong to us, and start a new life, okay? β
Murong Ningyan, who had always been weak, didn't know where to get so much strength, he pushed Xiao Yixuan's arm away violently, and stood up with a "whoosh", although his voice was soft, his tone was unusually decisive: "It's too late, you can be ruthless and unscrupulous for the sake of the so-called Jiangshan Sheji?" Why should you risk my son's life as your chips and bets? I can't forgive you in my life! β
"Yan'er, it was Brother Xiao who was wrong before, can you give me another chance to make amends?"
"Murong Ningyan is dead, and we can't go back to the past, please don't come back in the future, it's better to forget about each other!" Murong Ningyan looked out the window coldly.
"Yan'er, why do you want to be a cocoon?" Xiao Yixuan was really anxious, and his voice was full of eagerness.
Although the voice was soft, it was only strange that the night was too quiet, and the Jingci Master in the meditation room next door did not miss a word, and heard it really clearly, and then heard Jinyu slam the door and leave.
Xiao Yixuan's heart seemed to have overturned the mixed tastes, originally thought that it was not easy to find someone who had been thinking about her for many years, and he could take her to the end of the world with a sword, but he never thought that it would be such an ending, Yan'er is going to break with me? The mood fell from the clouds to the bottom.
Suddenly, Xiao Yixuan leaned over the table, buried his head between his arms, his shoulders trembled violently, like a child who had been robbed of his toys, crying sadly, full of too many grievances and reluctance.
In fact, Murong Ningyan walked outside the door and did not leave in time, and the sad crying in the house made her heart like a knife.
And why isn't she the same sadness and reluctance? Even if you miss the past, so what? After all, she used to be the queen of a country, after all, she was the queen mother of Zhongyu and Zhongxuan, how could she go back to the past? She knew that Xiao Yixuan couldn't do it, he was wronged, but she had to say that, only then could he die. But who can understand her feelings? It's really heart-wrenching and I can't breathe.
The next day, just after dawn, Mrs. Jingci heard the door of the meditation room next door, and quietly looked through the crack in the door, Xiao Yixuan went out of the door, until he walked to the door of the temple, looked back for a while, his red and swollen eyes were particularly eye-catching, and then walked out of the courtyard door with a depressed expression.
When Mrs. Shi went to clean up the meditation room, she found some silver and a hosta on the table. So, taking these things, she went to Murong Ningyan, and saw that she was also red and swollen and her eyes were closing her eyes and chanting, and the master said: "Please forgive the poor nun for his cloudy eyes, I didn't know that you were the queen, a sin!" β
"It's no wonder if you don't know, besides, since the day I stepped into the temple gate, I have not been a queen, what is the guilt of the teacher?"
"This should be left to you by His Majesty, take it!"
"What is the use of keeping these lifeless things while they are fighting for their rights and harming my innocent children? Let's take them away. β
"I'll take the silver and put it in the merit box, and you can keep this hosta."
"It's better for the master to keep it, Jinyu can't see it."
"Okay, then I'll help you keep it first."
Xiao Yixuan has been thinking since he met Murong Ningyan and came out of the Zijin Temple, Murong Ningyan is right, if he really puts her in the most important position and really cares about her, he should think that war will hurt the innocent, if he doesn't start a war and doesn't send people to use Li Yu, her children will be fine, she chose to become a monk because she was completely dead to herself and Li Yu.
In the more than half a year since Zhao Kuangyin left the palace, Zhao Guangyi has become more and more handy in handling court politics, deeply supported by the ministers, acting as the imperial power, and feeling very good above 10,000 people.
Zhao Guangyi racked his brains all day long, how can he sit firmly on the throne? One day he finally thought of someone who might be able to help him.
He is Zhao Pu, who was demoted for repeated corruption and bribery.
Zhao Pu was originally a celebrity around Zhao Kuangyin, and he was very valued by Zhao Kuangyin. However, since Zhao Pu became the prime minister, he has not only embezzled and accepted bribes, but also has been arbitrary and arbitrary, monopolizing the government, and is very strong.
He once put a pot in his political hall, and when he encountered documents and recitals handed over by ministers he did not like, he did not look at them, no matter how important they were, but threw them directly into the pot, and when the pot was full, he ordered someone to take out the papers and burn them.
This matter reached Zhao Kuangyin's ears repeatedly, and he was very dissatisfied with him and was ready to deal with Zhao Pu, but he thought that he was the founding father after all, and he had made many suggestions and suggestions in governing the country, and had made a lot of contributions, so he temporarily observed for a while.
Unexpectedly, during Zhao Kuangyin's inspection of Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu, who had no idea, then committed another taboo of the imperial court.
