Chapter 364: Shang Shu Ling Invites Your Excellency
"But do you know how much the Tang Dynasty paid for it in that game?"
The eldest grandson was stunned, and after a little thought, he understood what the eldest princess was referring to.
The Autumn Hunting Rebellion not only thwarted the remnants of the troubled continent for many years, but more importantly, sealed the national teacher with a crazy "salvation plan".
But the Tang Dynasty also paid a terrible price for this.
Not only were the elites and masters of the court killed and injured countless times, but even the emperor was seriously injured.
What's more, the dragon qi, which represents the luck of the dynasty, was also sealed in the Heavenly Burial Secret Realm along with the national teacher.
In recent years, although the dynasty has been smooth and the country and the people are safe, the strange thing is that the atmosphere above the court has become more and more weird.
The annual report of the household department, which is in charge of the state treasury, is in the red, which made several other ministries suspect that the household department is enriching its private pockets.
The emperor gradually ignored the government and the officials, who did not care about the people's livelihood and only cared about their careers......
And all of these were blamed by those who were familiar with the inside story of the Autumn Hunting Rebellion that year on the dragon qi being sealed.
On the contrary, it was the Southern Regions, which had always been regarded as a wild land by the imperial dynasty, that had risen in recent years.
The exile of Tang Wangye in the Southern Regions not only made people mistakenly think that the dynasty was defeated by Yicheng in the Southern Regions, but also made the Southern Regions and the dynasty turn into jade silk, and got the opportunity to recuperate for more than ten years.
During this period, not only did the Southern Regions have a period of barbaric growth, but even the humanities faintly caught up with the imperial dynasty.
It can be seen from the establishment of Qingteng to the rise of today.
The eldest grandson didn't have time to think about it so much, and at this time, he only felt that he should start from the overall situation first and put righteousness first.
"National ...... You all know his horror, if you really release him, the dynasty will be able to recover what has been lost all these years? When the time comes, the imperial dynasty will bear the infamy of the ages! His Royal Highness won't understand such a simple truth. ”
Wu Qing and the others were all surprised, the eldest grandson, who was still angry with the dog just now, seemed to be a different person at this time, and said such a rebellious remark.
But the eldest princess was not angry.
Back then, he dared to shout the shocking "Four Sentences of Hengqu" on the peak, what else did he dare not say?
There was a hint of appreciation in the eldest princess's eyes, but her tone was unusually cold.
"It's easy to shout righteousness, but how can it be so easy to do?"
"You are alone, you die generously, people will respect you as a hero, but the dynasty is not a dynasty of one person, it is the root of thousands of people!"
"The mainland is too peaceful, so what about the roots of these people? Will they be allowed to rot slowly and then change to his surname? ”
The eldest grandson was speechless for a while, but he was still a little unconvinced.
"These sacrifices are better than going to perdition......"
"That's a nice thing to say, but someone knows about the sacrifices made by the dynasty! If the truth is spoken, can the entire continent withstand such a cruel truth? Have you ever thought about the infamy that the royal family endured after that chaos? ”
The eldest grandson opened his mouth, but finally closed it weakly.
He gradually understood what the eldest princess said.
As she said, it is easy to be a hero who dies generously, but it is not easy to be a saint who is the enemy of the world.
When the eldest princess saw the eldest grandson's words, her eyes seemed to be unbearable, as if she didn't want the high-spirited and enthusiastic young man to become a "mature person" who smoothed out the edges and corners and lost to reality.
The eldest princess's tone became relaxed again, and she said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, there is no point in discussing these now. It's a foregone conclusion that the New Era Cup will be held in the Heavenly Burial Secret Realm, and you can't decide whether the Bereaved Clan will make trouble, all you can do now is stop them......"
The eldest grandson smiled bitterly and said, "That's true, but Your Highness wants me to stop them?" ”
The eldest princess spread her hands indifferently and said, "Do you think I'm doing well in this Qu'an Temple?" His dynasty, what does his decision have to do with me? Maybe if the fortunes of the country decay for a few more years, he will be ousted from power, and I will have a chance to sit in that chair......"
"Hmm, Your Highness is tired, so the people won't bother."
The eldest grandson hurriedly interrupted and stopped the eldest princess's nonsense.
Several people behind him were also in a cold sweat.
Do I have the right to hear these words today?
Wu Qing still had this idea in his heart until he left Qu'an Temple.
Tang Yuyan stood behind her eldest grandson, her expression slightly complicated.
After all, the royal family used to be her home, but she didn't expect that there were so many unspeakable pickles in this "home".
"Where are we going next?"
The eldest grandson glanced at the sky in the distance and said, "Didn't Your Highness just point out a clue, let's go there and take a look......"
When the eldest grandson proposed to retire just now, the eldest princess said intentionally or unintentionally: "Since you still want to know more things, you might as well go to Liu Xinyan's place......
"Liu Xinyan?"
The eldest grandson remembered this scholarly and angry outsider.
"Now you should call Lord Shang Shuling......
The eldest grandson was stunned, and he couldn't imagine that the scholar with a single tendon had now reached a position above ten thousand people under one person.
"Well, I haven't asked about the court affairs in this temple for a long time, and many things are not as clear as he knows as an official in the court...... Maybe he knows more about it......"
……
The four of them came to the mansion of Lord Shang Shuling today.
What surprised the eldest grandson was that Liu Xinyan still lived in the original courtyard, but he just bought the two adjacent courtyards and renovated them.
But even so, such a courtyard still looks shabby as the mansion of Shang Shuling today.
Looking at the mansion gate, which was not magnanimous, Wu Qing and the others couldn't help but nod and said: "In today's imperial court, only Lord Shang Shuling can be so vain and sincerely work hard for the imperial court." ”
The eldest grandson glanced at Wu Qing and could hear that Liu Xinyan still won the hearts of the people by making this Shangshu order.
With the previous experience, everyone was curious about how the eldest grandson would enter the door of Lord Shang Shuling this time.
The eldest grandson looked at this familiar but unfamiliar courtyard, and he had lived here for a while as "Liu Xinyan".
At this time, I revisited the old place, but there was a sense that things were not people.
Putting aside distracting thoughts, the eldest grandson knocked on the door of the mansion, and the subordinate who opened the door was not arrogant, but very politely asked a few people what they meant.
When the eldest grandson said that he wanted to visit Lord Shang Shuling, although the subordinates were a little embarrassed, they did not disdain.
On the premise that several people did not show their identities, the first thing the next person asked was not the identities of several people, but the reason for the matter.
This made the eldest grandson nod secretly, which was enough to show that Liu Xinyan was very strict with the subordinates in the house.
It seems that Liu Xinyan has not forgotten his original intention......
The eldest grandson did not explicitly state the reason for the visit, but took out a square scarf prepared in advance from his sleeve and prepared to hand it to his subordinates while talking.
"Please also ask the little brother to give this token to Lord Shang Shuling, and say that the old friend is visiting......
But with their previous experiences, several of them became interested in the "tokens" prepared by the eldest grandson in advance.
Wu Qing took a step forward and snatched the square scarf from the eldest grandson's hand.
The servant frowned, not understanding why the man with a good image in front of him was doing such a rude thing.
Wu Qing straightened his chest and said "confidently": "Shang Shuling is such a noble identity, if this token is fraudulent, isn't it dangerous, I will check it for the adult first......"
The eldest grandson looked at Wu Qing with a smile.
Wu Qing's face did not change, and he "interrogated": "Say, what is this?" ”
The subordinate looked confused, didn't you come together, why did you still start the interrogation?
"Eleven years ago, the eldest princess wrote the second half of the poem, which made the entire imperial capital city a swan song. DID YOU KNOW? ”
The eldest grandson asked rhetorically.
Wu Qing can remember without thinking.
Just because this half of the poem is so famous, even the subordinate next to him can recite two sentences intermittently.
"Jiuwan Fang Fei Lan Pei is good. There is no one in the empty valley, and I complain about myself. Bao Se Ling Eternal Tune. Zhu Si has few friends. ”
Wu Qing chanted softly.
The eldest grandson nodded.
Wu Qing's slightly feminine face and his cold voice recited this half of the poem, instantly outlining a lonely artistic conception.
Wu Qing was a little puzzled why the eldest grandson suddenly mentioned this half of the poem.
And the eldest grandson's next words made him almost throw away the square scarf in his hand.
"What you're holding in your hand is the remaining half of ......"
"What ......"
Wu Qing's hand trembled, and he suddenly felt that this light and fluttering square scarf was a thousand pounds.
"You mean...... This is the second half of the poem that His Highness gave you? ”
Wu Qing's voice couldn't help but tremble.
If this is the other half of the poem that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess specially gave to the eldest grandson, what a blessing would it be?
At this time, even Hirakawa on the side was aroused by curiosity.
Although he had never heard of this half of the poem before, through Wu Qing's recitation just now, he could immediately taste that it was a good poem.
The eldest grandson shook his head.
"No, I made this half of it."
The eldest grandson's reply almost made Wu Qing smash the square scarf on the eldest grandson's face.
What is the status of this half poem of the eldest princess, and how can you dare to write a sequel to it?
Even the subordinates on the side felt that the eldest grandson was a little self-conscious.
The eldest grandson shrugged his shoulders and signaled that the poem was in your hands, and you would know it by looking at it.
Wu Qingqiang held back the anger in his heart and opened the scarf.
But just a glance, Wu Qing stood on the spot.
Pingchuan and Tang Yuyan saw Wu Qing's strange appearance and leaned in.
"Good poetry!"
Hirakawa's eyes were bright at this time, as if he could see through the veil of the hat.
Tang Yuyan's eyes when she looked at her eldest grandson at this time were also a little more brilliant.
I didn't expect this guy to be so literate......
The performance of several people made the subordinates also a little itchy, and they wanted to come forward to see, but they didn't dare to step forward because of their tutors.
Fortunately, Wu Qing, who was in a sluggish state, chanted out of his mind.
"I am growing old...... The water is full of Tingzhou, where to find the grass...... evoke the tired song of Hunan is not over. The stone dragon dances and the pine wind dawns! ”
……
Until the subordinate trotted into the mansion with a square scarf to report, Wu Qing still maintained a sluggish posture.
It's not because Wu Qing is unproductive, it's just because the status of the eldest princess's half of the poem in the imperial capital is too high.
Even now, there is a stone tablet engraved with this half of the poem in the imperial capital, one is for future generations to read, and the other is to hope that someone can continue this amazing work.
But after so many years, this half of the poem has caused countless literati to return home, including Wuqing.
At this time, as soon as the eldest grandson's half of the poem came out, he understood that this was the most perfect sequel.
Looking at Wu Qing's dejected appearance, the eldest grandson wanted to be comforted, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.
After all, he didn't have any real talent, just a shameful copyist.
Just when the eldest grandson was struggling with whether to speak, the next person went and returned.
I saw the next person panting in his mouth, which proved that he had run a little hard all the way.
"Your Excellency...... My family, please! ”
Some people died, but not completely......
