Chapter 135: The Last Fight
[Vol. 1] Section 135: The Last Struggle
------------
Chen Ajiao was abolished in Changmen Palace, full of grievances, but she could only eat Coptis dumbly.
So far, this matter has been closed, and the edict of the imperial court to all parties has been issued, and no one will continue to investigate.
If Chen Ajiao can be self-aware, she should understand that it is not easy for her life to be picked up.
Her mother, the arrogant Lord Dou all her life, found Liu Che when she issued an edict to take back the queen's book, and made a 180-degree turn of attitude to sincerely plead with Liu Che.
You must know that before Taizhu Dou faced Liu Che, always regarded himself as a hero and elder, but now for the sake of her daughter, she did not hesitate to pull down her face, and sincerely hoped to Liu Che that he could spare her daughter's life.
This is a mother, no matter what her temperament is, whether it is good or bad, expensive or practical, in order to protect her children, she can abandon everything at any time.
Mrs. Dou's plea worked, Liu Che saw this aunt who was usually arrogant and domineering, and was full of emotion in an instant, it was not easy for the aunt to let go of her self-esteem for Chen Ajiao.
Liu Che said to his aunt at the time: "What Gillian did has violated the righteousness and has to be abolished." However, the lord should believe in me, don't be suspicious, although Gillian is wasted, the worship is as before, and the Changmen Palace is no different from the Middle Palace! ”
With these words, Mrs. Dou's tears fell involuntarily, and whether they were sad or joyful, perhaps only mothers can appreciate them.
Chen Ajiao lived in Changmen Palace and did not give up her hope of regaining her holy grace.
After pondering for a long time, it occurred to her that someone had come, and perhaps he could help her.
This person is none other than Sima Xiangru, a talented man of Han Fu that we are very familiar with, and Sima Xiangru now lives in Maoling, Chang'an. In the past, Chen Ajiao often heard the emperor praise Sima Caizi, maybe he could ask him to give himself a gift, let the emperor know how much he missed him, maybe he could recall the emperor's heart.
Chen Ajiao jumped and jumped excitedly for her thoughts, and she sent someone to quickly pack her daughter and send it to Sima Xiangru's house.
The person who came to Sima Xiangru's house explained his intention to Sima Xiangru.
Although Sima Xiangru felt a little embarrassed, he knew that although Chen Ajiao was abolished, her family was still very powerful, and he was afraid that he would cause trouble if he clearly refused her request.
And this is not a bad thing, as the so-called gift of roses, there is a lingering fragrance in your hands.
Sima Xiangru accepted Chen Ajiao's daughter and began to conceive another Han Fu masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages.
This fu is called "Nagato Fu", this fu is beautifully worded, the first to open the theme of the palace grievances, and has a very high achievement in the history of literature. The following excerpts from the beginning and the end, let us temporarily abandon the onlookers of the competition and appreciate this beautiful literary masterpiece a little.
"The husband is a beautiful woman, and he is free to take care of himself. The soul is more than a rebellion, and the form is withered and lives alone. I say that I am going to the twilight, eating and eating and forgetting. The heart is moved without being conscious, and the friendship is proud and the blind date.
Suddenly sleeping and dreaming, if you are by your side. I don't see it, and my soul is dead. The chickens crow and are worried, and they look at the essence of the moon. The audience is starry, and Bi Yu is from the East. Looking at the kindness of the atrium, if the frost of autumn. The night man is old, and he is depressed and can not be changed. Waiting for the dawn, the barren pavilion and the sight are restored. The concubines are sad and sad, and they dare not forget their years. ”
A beautiful and lonely woman wanders alone in the night of the waning moon, looking through the autumn water and waiting for the return of her beloved husband, who had promised to come in the golden twilight, but in the middle of the night it was cold, but he had not come, he must have forgotten me because of the banquet.
Beloved husband, when will you be by my side, beloved husband, do you know that your wife washes her face with tears every day, haunted by dreams, beloved husband, do you know that your wife is full of sorrow, looking at the stars in the sky, looking at the twilight in front of the courtyard, as cold as the frost of late autumn? It's been a long night, and one night feels like how many years have passed. Beloved husband, can't your wife's grief be dissipated? When the light comes, your wife has renewed hope of seeing you. Beloved husband, the concubine will be secretly sad, and she will never forget it for the rest of her life!
When I was confronted with these beautiful and bleak words, my eyes filled with tears.
Forget Chen Ajiao's brutality, she is just a lonely woman.
After being sung by the palace people, Nagato Fu finally reached Liu Che's ears.
After Liu Che finished reading it, he just sighed, but if he wanted to go back to the past, he couldn't do it anyway.
Love is sometimes a double-edged sword, some people smile and some people cry, there is happiness, some people get sadness, if I stand in front of Chen Ajiao, I will say to her, "Chen Ajiao, he won't come back, forget him." ”
When I got here, some people would ask, at least the Changmen Palace is also in the palace, and you can still see the emperor often, why do you wander alone at night, if you want to see Liu Che, stop him halfway.
Changmen Palace, formerly known as Changmen Garden, originally did not belong to the court, it was the garden of Lord Dou, that is to say, there was still some way from the palace, Liu Che rewarded it to Chen Ajiao, and it also meant that the things were returned to the original owner.
Nagato Garden can be turned into Nagato Palace, and there is still a story here.
Mrs. Dou's husband, Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu, died early, which was a blow to Mrs. Dou who enjoyed himself wantonly. After her husband's death, she adopted the son of a pearl seller surnamed Dong, who was named Dong Yan. He is handsome and a handsome man who makes all women crazy.
Mrs. Dou raised him as a noodle head, the so-called noodle head, in the popular words now, Dong Yan is a little white face raised by Mrs. Dou.
From a humane point of view, a widowed woman has the right to remarry, and there was this custom in the Han Dynasty, but the status and identity of the Dou Taizhu are far from being admirable by Dong Yan.
Therefore, Dong Yan can only serve Taizhu Dou secretly, but this has long been an open secret in the eyes of others, but no one has found it out.
Dong Yan has a good friend Uncle Yuan, he is the nephew of the famous Yuan An, it is estimated that he has obtained the true biography of Yuan An, and he is very scheming, he sees the danger in it, and also sees the profit in it.
He found Dong Yan and reminded him: "You fornicate with your master with a subordinate, this is a crime!" If someone uses this as a lever, I'm afraid it won't last long. ”
When Dong Yan heard this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly asked Uncle Yuan if there was a good way.
"Gu Cheng Temple is the Temple of Emperor Wen, the emperor wants to come here every year, but there is no palace, and the Changmen Garden of Lord Dou is the closest to Gu Cheng Temple, the emperor has long wanted to get it, but it is not easy to speak. As long as you say that the emperor will dedicate the garden to the emperor, the emperor will be happy, and if the emperor knows that it is your plan, then he will have peace of mind. ”
"Wonderful!" Dong Yan danced happily.
He immediately told Mrs. Dou about this plan, Mrs. Dou was worried about his daughter's status, and if he had such a good way, he would naturally not refuse.
Sure enough, Liu Che was very happy, and Changmen Garden became Changmen Palace, and it became the palace where Liu Che would stay when he worshiped his ancestors.
Uncle Yuan, the person who gave advice, also received his remuneration, 100 gold.
Later, Chen Ajiao had an accident.
Lord Dou was very worried, even if he received Liu Che's non-surrender treatment and the promise not to kill Gillian, Master Dou still felt unreliable.
Uncle Yuan saw the stakes, found Dong Yan again, and gave him a plan.
Dong Yan pretended to be sick according to the plan of Mrs. Dou, and let Liu Che know about it through the channels in the palace. Liu Che knew that the cause of the disease was caused by himself, so he specially went to visit Mrs. Dou.
Mrs. Dou expressed her wish on the sickbed, hoping that the emperor would often come to his aunt's place and visit his aunt's mountains and forests.
Of course, Liu Che understood what her aunt meant, she wanted to shorten the distance with herself and make up for herself and Gillian. Mrs. Dou's acting skills are really exquisite, Liu Che was moved by compassion, and immediately said that my aunt can rest assured, I will come often.
With Liu Che's words, after a few days, Mrs. Dou's illness did not continue to pretend.
Mrs. Dou took the initiative to go to the palace to meet Liu Che and get closer to him.
Liu Che looked at his refreshed aunt, and suddenly figured out that his aunt was probably pretending to be sick, he vaguely felt that there was someone behind his aunt who was giving advice, and under her good intentions, Liu Che rewarded Mrs. Dou with tens of millions of money. Soon after, he suddenly visited Mrs. Dou's house.
Liu Che came to visit in a hurry, wanting to meet someone, the talent who gave advice behind his aunt's back.
Lord Dou felt a little caught off guard by Liu Che's sudden visit, and she hurriedly changed out of her gorgeous clothes and put on simple clothes.
When Liu Che saw Mrs. Dou, he felt a little funny, and thought in his heart about how his aunt could dress like a maidservant.
As soon as Liu Che sat down, he smiled at Mrs. Dou and said, "Please come out!" ”
Liu Che means to ask your man to come out, Liu Che was so straightforward that Mrs. Dou was taken aback.
Mrs. Dou was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, she was shocked in her heart, how could the emperor know about her raising face, this is terrible, if she is punished by the emperor, how can it be good?
She hurriedly kowtowed, saying that she was indecent, and hoped that His Majesty would not take it to heart.
Seeing this, Liu Che still smiled and said, "Don't worry, the master, please come out, I have something to say." ”
In desperation, Dong Yan could only kneel down in front of Liu Che tremblingly. Liu Che saw that this person was handsome, not like a bad person, and he looked smart and clever, so he naturally appreciated it a little.
Liu Che did not blame Empress Dou and Dong Yan for the crime of bullying the monarch, drank heavily and left.
However, this banquet made Dong Yan famous, and even the emperor called him the master, how can there be any reason not to be popular? Many dignitaries heard about Dong Yan's fame and came over to make friends.
Soon after, Dong Yan received Liu Che's favor again, and he could freely enter and leave the palace, and always accompany Liu Che to have fun, and Dong Yan's prestige was even more popular in Chang'an City.
But the good times didn't last long, and Dong Yan was planted in the mouth of our old friend Dongfang Shuo.
After Liu Che finished approving the official document, he was very bored, and wanted to summon Dong Yan into the palace to drink, and the banquet was placed in the Xuan room. This matter was taken by Dongfang-Lover's Pavilion-, who was on duty with a halberd, and immediately jumped out to accuse Dong Yan of committing the three major capital crimes, and Liu Che still attached great importance to the advice of the Dongfang brother, and he urgently asked which three crimes.
Dongfang Shuo pointed out that one of them served the lord privately with lowly ministers, the second was defeated and often blasphemed and dared to violate the royal system, and the third was to confuse His Majesty.
Although Dongfang Shuo still shook his head and shook his head funny, Liu Che didn't laugh out loud this time, he said, "Can you forget it this time, can't you change it next time?" ”
Unexpectedly, Brother Dongfang's answer startled Liu Che.
"No, the Xuan Room is the main hall of the first emperor, and non-righteous people can't enter..."
Liu Che was finally persuaded by the Dongfang Brother, who moved the banquet to the Gui Palace in the north of Chang'an City, and ordered Dong Yan to enter the palace through the East Sima Gate.
Dong Yan, who has always claimed to be the emperor's favorite minister, never dreamed that with Dongfang Shuo's sharp mouth, all his dreams would come to naught and collapse in an instant.
After this banquet, Liu Che deliberately distanced himself from Dong Yan.
With Dong Yan's fall from grace, Mrs. Dou lost her eyes and ears beside Liu Che, and she was no longer powerless to save anything for Gillian and herself.
Ten years later, Dong Yan was executed by Liu Che's order for committing a crime, and soon Taizhu Dou also died in loneliness.
Another few years, Chen Ajiao, until the moment of death, this unfortunate woman did not wait for Liu Che to come to see her.
