Chapter 269: The Emperor's Commandment and Three Steps to Love
Amid the sound of firecrackers, it is another year of Chinese New Year's Eve.
Chang'an's Chinese New Year's Eve is still so prosperous, celebrating, and families are reunited, but the palace's Chinese New Year's Eve this year is not lively, of course, because in the filial piety period of the first emperor, the emperor will bring filial piety, where can it still be festive and lively?
The Tang Emperor's mourning is the strictest, although following the example of "replacing the moon with the day", you can be removed from the court after the 27th, but in addition to the "day instead of the month", in addition to the state banquet, the emperor must pay attention to filial piety in terms of eating, feasting, and sexual affairs, and keep it for 27 months. This strict rule was laid down by Emperor Gaozong, "If the king does not abide by it, how can he make his subjects abide by it?" She kept filial piety for her mother Mingzong for three whole years, that is, thirty-six months, of course, she did not require the later emperors to do it, but she had to keep filial piety for twenty-seven months. Therefore, on the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Tang Palace this year, there is no banquet, no singing and dancing, no firecrackers, no gorgeous decorations full of flowers, and no competition among the concubines, it looks really a little deserted, and there is no New Year's atmosphere.
Of course, the big family in the palace still have to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner, but there is no meat food, only vegetarian food carefully prepared in the imperial dining room. After using this simple "Chinese New Year's Eve banquet", the emperor let the concubines disperse, accompanied only by the empress, a pair of children on the left and right, walking on the palace road, walking and eating. The palace people carried shoulders and chairs and so on, and followed from afar.
After gossiping for a while, the emperor glanced at the cold and plain colors around him, and suddenly said with emotion: "Speaking of which, our emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the most difficult to do. Regardless of anything else, just talking about the rules, it must be the most emperor of all dynasties. β
When it came to the topic of "being the emperor", the queen and Li Yuxiang did not answer.
Only Li Yuzhen said: "What Father said is true." Being the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the most uncomfortable. Emperor Gaozong set many rules, complicated, and detailed, a "Emperor's Commandment" is 94,000 words, which is not much, but those rules can make people want to cry without tears, and they will regret sitting in this position. It is estimated that the ancestors of the past dynasties have bitten handkerchiefs in the bedhttp://.5./books/41/41316/
http://.5./books/41/41316/
Five-year imperial examination and three-year simulation. β
The emperor was stunned, "Hahaha!" β
The queen coughed, and Spa immediately covered her lips.
King Li Xiaojun had already laughed out loud after his father.
"You!" After laughing, the emperor pointed his finger at his daughter, and said with a slight annoyance, "Only you dare to make fun of the previous emperors." β
"The child is telling the truth." Although she is still the crown prince, she has been ordered by the emperor to read the "Imperial Commandment", thinking about the previous emperors is really bitter, "The Emperor's Rules", "The Emperor's Constitution" and "The Emperor's Commandment" are three mountains, two and a half are Gaozong's majestic pressure, it is estimated that they secretly want to bite Gaozong, it is simply a pit for descendants! - Is there such an emperor with a sword hanging on his head and wearing a flail?
Of course, when she said this, she also wanted to make her father smile. Although the grief for the death of the former emperor is still there, especially those who are close to the former emperor, the grief should be kept in the heart, and the living people still have to live happily. My father hasn't laughed much for most of the year, and on a big day like Chinese New Year's Eve, he still has to be happy.
After laughing, the emperor's expression stretched, and he walked slowly with his hands behind his back: "Of course, it makes sense to set so many rules, but who wants to be restrained when you are an emperor?" But that's what Gaozong said:
"Everyone wants to be the emperor, the beauty is in hand, I have the country, the palm of the hand is to kill and seize power, you can spoil whoever you want, kill whoever you want, and do whatever you want...... How can there be such a good thing? - God still has to abide by the rules, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, I don't see that the mood is good and the east goes out, and when the mood is bad, I go out to the west, and one day I go out to the north on a whim. Are you God's father, dare to disobey the rules? Which emperor dares to call himself Heavenly Father, not the Son of Heaven, then you can be unruly, even God was born by you, the sky can be made, and what rules do you still keep, you are the rules. β
King Li Xiaojun laughed when he heard this.
Empress Cui also smiled slightly when she heard it, when she was at home, she read the Q&A record of Gaozong and the ministers recorded and passed down by the ancestors of the Cui family, all of which were recorded in the original words, unlike the historical books for literary embellishment, in which Gaozong spoke in this style.
The emperor said the original words in the "Emperor's Commandment", which was written by Gaozong to the emperor's descendants, and he didn't drag the words at all, it was Gaozong's style of speaking, straightforward, sharp, sneering, and poked people's hearts.
"To enjoy the supreme right, you have to pay the supreme hardship, and there is no one who eats and does not work in vain - it is a pig, waiting to be slaughtered. Want to lie on the book of your ancestors' deeds and squander, who do you think you are? Look in the mirror and see if you're beautiful? It's really beautiful. Stupid fellow, you think that throne was made for you? The bloodline gives you the qualification to lead to the throne, but after sitting on it, it is nothing, it will only prove the nobility of the ancestors, and will not let you add golden light, the dragon body is shocked, and the world is salty. This kind of idiot hurry up and get out. If you don't want to be fucked out, you don't want to be poked in the back after you die, so you should follow the rules. β
The emperor paused when he said this, in fact, there were two sentences behind Gaozong: "It's not terrible for people to be stupid, but what they are afraid of is greed and pleasure - there is a pig raised on the emperor's throne." This so-called holy pig has only one function to express: extract the essence seeds passed down by the ancestors and pass them on to future generations. "βthis is the breeding pig. Rao is such a gentle and humble emperor can't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, thinking about the former emperors with strong personalities in front of him, it is estimated that the back molars are itching.
The emperor continued: "Speaking of rules, the emperor is the person in the world who should not talk about rules: those ministers love to take the sack of 'rules' to beat you with a stick, and you are dizzy, you don't dare to move forward, you only dare to stand still, eat the ancestors' old books, and the country is already old before you have eaten it up." As an emperor, how can a dynasty not rest on its laurels? A pool of stagnant water will rot if it doesn't flow, and a dynasty will rot if it is not dilapidated or innovative - this is breaking the rules! But the Tang Emperor must also be the most rule-abiding, unruly, do whatever he wants, die for himself, and die for the Li family. Those who can't abide by the rules, be your idle princess, don't come to mess with this position; If you mess with it, don't blame being kicked down. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the supreme, the strongest, correspondingly, is also the hardest and least free emperor. Wearing shackles and jumping out of the most dazzling Tang style, this is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. β¦β¦ I really don't want to say to some fools: This kind of goods is actually my Li Tang's descendant? - Down, I will let you understand what it means to have a face full of flowers and broken eggs, and let you know how to write the word 'Li': blood, tears, and pain. β
The emperor covered his lips and coughed when he said the last sentence.
This high-ranking martial ancestor of his family is really ...... cough, it is estimated that the emperors of the past dynasties worked so hard, just to fight for breath - so to slap Gaozong's facehttp://.5./books/41/41319/
http://.5./books/41/41319/
[Interstellar] spicy. But who can endure those who have a heart? And those who don't have the heart can't sit in this position.
Li Yuxiang's eyes widened, and then he smiled so hard that he pressed his stomach, and said with stars in his eyes: "Emperor Gaozong is really powerful, really interesting." "The only person who said such a profound and strict imperial commandment in such an interesting and angry words is Emperor Gaozong.
Li Yuzhen snorted with slanted eyebrows, "Interesting? - You don't have a backache when you stand and talk. β
King Li Xiaojun was confident, "Of course." I'm just the king of the county! β
Triumphant, I'm the king of the county, I'm not afraid...... At least don't worry about broken balls.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that if the female emperor had two eggs? β¦β¦ Oh yes, ass balls.
King Li Xiaojun glanced at his sister and giggled with a giggle.
Li Yuzhen sneered, and suddenly took a step back and lifted a foot on her brother's ass.
"Ugh!" King Li Xiaojun covered his buttocks and jumped up angrily, and complained to his father, "Father, look! Look! Lee kicked me! Bullying the small! Don't love my little brother! Alas! My eggs are broken......"
The queen couldn't bear to look at it directly.
The emperor also wanted to cover his forehead, and when he saw his son covering his buttocks and jumping, he felt funny, coughed, comforted his son, and educated Li Da. With a straight face, he then said: "The dynasties of the past dynasties, inheriting five generations, are generally lazy, but our Tang Dynasty is different, the first three generations of emperors, too. Ancestor, Gaozu, Taizong are the founding of the wise lord, the fourth generation of Renzong is inferior, but it is benevolent, rule-abiding king, five generations of monarchs Mingzong Guoyi and wise, the sixth generation is Gaozong, and then six emperors, to your emperor's grandfather, for the seventh emperor, although not all wise and wise, the ability to govern the country also has high and low, but there is no absurd and mediocre lord, let alone a profligate pleasure, not enterprising king, it is because of the three mountains on this head, this is the emperor's six words: break the rules, abide by the rules. β
The emperor turned his face to look at his daughter, and his voice was gentle, "For the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to forge ahead and break the rules, even if the emperor's talent is not enough, as long as the rules of decentralization and decentralization are abided, the prime ministers will also promote the country's innovation for the sake of interests - just relatively slowly." However, it is the most difficult for the emperor to abide by the rules and exercise restraint and self-discipline. - Zhaohua, the position of the Tang Emperor is not easy to sit, you have to do it well. β
King Li Xiaojun's eyebrows jumped, "Do it well", my father quoted such a long story of Emperor Gaozong to say the rules, is this a warning to my sister?
Has my sister been doing something unruly lately?
The boy silently took a step behind, raised his hand to hold his mother's arm, and both mother and son walked silently behind.
Li Yuzhen's eyes flashed slightly, looked at his father and said, "Don't worry, I know my responsibility." He laughed and teased, "I don't want to be taught by Emperor Gaozong how to write the word 'Li' with blood and tears." β
The Emperor laughed.
The atmosphere was relaxed again.
Tonight, the emperor rested on the empress's side on Chinese New Year's Eve, and of course, the filial piety period was still sleeping separately. Chinese New Year's Eve was to be celebrated, but the emperor's body could not stay up late, and he still went to bed at the right time. The queen and Li Yuzhen's sister and brother talked around the couch in the front hall, drinking tea and wine, and said goodbye to the old and welcomed the new when they were the son. Li Yuxiang was still a teenager, so he couldn't sit still, so he changed his short brown body and went outside to practice boxing, and the mother and daughter in the hall leaned on the couch and talked.
Waving her hand to retreat from the palace maid, the queen crooked her hidden sac and squinted at her daughter, "Your father knows?" β
Li Yuzhen said: "A month ago, my father went to Yiqiu Palace to visit the pavilion master, and I went to Guangtian Hall by the way, and saw the text panel in my dormitory - my father asked, I didn't hide it from him. Punish me for copying the "Imperial Commandment" for January. β
The emperor covered this matter tightly, and the queen didn't know about it.
The queen remembered the five words written by Xiao Yan, and the corners of her mouth twitched a little, and she glared at her daughter a little annoyed, "Look at what you did." β
forced Xiao Yuezhi to sleep.
It's just that the others slept hard.,It's Shaw'shttp://.5./books/41/41317/
http://.5./books/41/41317/
Wear the ashes of the heroine scattered.
Not to mention the subtlety of the royal family and the Xiao family, just to say that the daughter did this thing, it is domineering and immoral, with the temperament of a saint, how can there be no anger.
But the saint brought up the matter again tonight, lest it be the one who deliberately knocked and warned not what the immortal had already done, but what he had not yet done.
The queen's heart was bright.
What kind of character their daughter has, the emperor and queen can't be clearer, what they want, they must get. But there are some people who can get it if you don't want it. To be a prince is to abide by the rules, and to be an emperor is to abide by the rules. What's more, people like Xiao Yuezhi can't be obtained by being strong. After being entangled, they felt sorry for their daughter again.
Love but can't, love is deep self-harm.
What the saint is worried about is what the queen is worried about.
The queen sighed, "Changsheng, you just take care of it." β
If Xiao Yuezhi is interested in his daughter, the queen will not object, isn't there a precedent after Emperor Zhaozong?
But does Xiao Yuezhi have any intention of immortality, and the queen can't see it?
People simply keep their distance.
Changsheng hung the words written by Xiao Yuezhi in front of the couch - the queen didn't believe that her daughter was repentant and wanted to observe the festival: it's strange! - is clearly a plan to entangle others: if Xiao Yan wants to use this way to offset the previous debt, then she will do it. With Changsheng's proud and domineering temperament, being able to do this step shows that he is really affectionate and affectionate.
What the queen can think of, the saint can't think of?
That's why I'm secretly worried.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, using Emperor Gaozong's "Imperial Commandment" to talk about things, he wanted her to let go as soon as possible, whether for the empire or for herself.
The emperor can be in love, but not infatuated. This is also what Gaozong said.
"I'm not going to be obsessed with love." Li Yuzhen carried the pot and poured wine for her mother, her eyes were deep and calm. Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, she didn't want to talk about her feelings, which hurt the atmosphere. He lowered his eyebrows slightly and said, "I know how to measure." You and your father can rest assured. β
Discretion? The queen squinted at her daughter, you have to know the proportions, can you still be strong Xiao Yuezhi?
Li Yuzhen smiled with a wine glass, without any remorse, "I don't get her person first, she is farther away from me." β
Because her surname is Xiao.
Li Yuzhen never regrets what she did, and if she does it again, she will still do it. People and hearts, she wants them. The first strike is strong, and if you don't get the heart, you will get people first.
The queen glared at her, speechless, if it wasn't for her own daughter, a wine glass slapped her in the face - how could it be like Li Shenyou's birth? β¦β¦ Xiao Yuezhi is like her own daughter. God must have misplaced it.
"Dang!" The bell rang in the hall, and midnight came.
Li Yuzhen and his brother knelt down together, respectfully kowtowed to the direction of the dormitory and their mother, wishing their father a long life and a long life for their mother.
The bells of the Danfeng Gate of the Imperial Palace, the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial City and the various Fang Gates are ringing at this moment, and the bells are melodious and vigorous, implying saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, and praying for the peace and prosperity of the country and the people.
At this moment, the bells of various states (capitals) and counties of the Tang Empire are ringing.
Ten thousand voices rang out in unison.
People, whether rich or poor, wish their parents a long life, wish their children a safe life, pray for themselves, and make their wishes come true at this moment.
In the Sanqing Palace, three hundred and sixty jade chimes were sounded together. Three hundred and sixty days a year, every day is clear, every day is quiet. In the melodious sound of Qingming, Shen Qingyi closed the painting scroll that had been staring at for a long time, got up and bowed to the southeast, wishing his parents a long life and good health, and slowly closed his eyes, praying in his heart - next Chinese New Year's Eve, can she spend it with that person?
β¦β¦
On the Chinese New Year's Eve on the polar ice field, a snowstorm raged, Murong Jie searched for it, dug out a red and white wine altar buried deep in the 10,000-year glacier, opened the mud seal and smelled a mellow wine aroma and a sweet fragrancehttp://.5./books/41/41318/
http://.5./books/41/41318/
Empress Xiaolin remembered again.
Xiao Yan: "Ha! "Surprise," senior, you buried it? β
Murong Jue said: "Mother buried it, the new wine brewed twenty-six years ago." - I was born when I was one year old, and my mother buried this jar of wine on this glacier, saying that I would be here in the future, drinking with the vast starry sky, and experiencing the extreme loneliness of this world, but also the extreme vastness. β
Xiao Yan couldn't help but ponder for a long time, and said: "Grand Duke Gesol, your mother, you are very ......" thought for a while, and used two words, "Height, width." β
A kind of loneliness that stands on a high place and looks at the world, but also embraces the spaciousness of the world with an open mind.
Although he has not yet met Grand Duke Gesol, Xiao Yan has become more and more aware of why Li Yuzhen wants to "see" Ninglouqiu.
Because this is a person who is worth seeing, and must be seen deeply.
"Senior, for the vast starry sky." Xiao Yan held up the ice-chiseled wine cup.
Murong Jue's eyes were shining, "For the vast starry sky." β
The two wine cups collide crisply.
When the time came, the two knelt down to the south to wish their parents a long life, got up and poured out the last wine, looked at each other, smiled at the same time, and made a vow to the vast starry sky: "The road is long, walk side by side." β
The two drank it all in one go, jumped onto the iceberg in the face of the snowstorm, and looked at the infinite starry sky of the eternal night side by side, Xiao Yan was full of confidence and longing, "Next year will be a better year." Oh, it should be this year. β
Murong Jue stood quietly, his shoulders lightly next to her shoulders, feeling the joyful and quiet state of mind of being with her, I only wish that this moment would be forever, and the years would last forever.
In this joyful and quiet state of mind, a strange longing arose that made her want to be closer, closer, to this person. She turned her face to look at Xiao Yan, her face under the starlight was vivid and beautiful, remembering the light kiss on her lips, the soft fragrance she tasted, it was a clear and quiet state of mind at that time, but now, there is a kind of restlessness and longing.
The desire to be closer, the desire to get more, the desire to crumple into the body.
Murong Jue felt this strange state of mind, and silently flipped through the secret notes in his divine sense.
This is ...... "self-generated desire after emotion"?
A physical desire for copulation. Hope?
Murong Jue felt that this was a strange and novel experience, an experience that could make her Bingqing's mood disturbed and become restless.
She lowered her eyes and silently experienced the feeling.
There was a kind of breath emanating from Xiao Yan's body, faint, like the pure fragrance of lotus flowers, and like the fresh beauty of the morning dew rolling off the tips of the leaves, she only felt good before, but now this breath has the smell of hooking the soul, so that she can't help but want to explore and suck......
Murong Jue's heart was a little jumping, and he opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes that were as clear as ice had been dyed with a thin light blood color, and the greedy wolf star was shining in the purple mansion. I want to be touched, and I turn around to deepen my feelings. Desire, desire-hope that there is a pink blood tide surging in the pool of blood.
Xiao Yan smelled the extremely faint blood qi, his heart was shocked, and he rolled his eyes, "Senior? β
Murong Jue's gaze fell on her soft and bright lips, restrained the lust surging under the greedy wolf desire, and asked Xiao Yan confirmatively: "Do you have a lover without thoughts?" β
