Chapter 179: The Final Chapter - The Burial of the Second Half of the Life
No one knows exactly what happened in Gyeongbokgung Palace that day.
It's just that some guards vaguely remember that the young man with white hair who followed Wang Dan into Gyeongbokgung Palace that day, and the few men and women who followed him like followers, none of them came out.
No one saw them again.
They saw only and heard a decree.
The holy decree was brought out by Wang Dan.
There is nothing strange in the holy decree, it is nothing more than to sit down on Liu Xi's crime, and the rest of those who are implicated are not concerned; Brigadier Kou was reinstated, replaced Liu Xi, changed his body, and returned to the position of the right prime minister.
No one dares to doubt its authenticity.
The only thing that shocked the ministers was that when they learned that the crown prince had descended, they also learned that the old emperor had voluntarily abdicated, which was even more explosive than Liu Xi's murder for plotting rebellion and killing the monarch.
But no one doubts the veracity of what happened after that.
As an infant baby, the new emperor obviously did not have any ability to handle political affairs.
Therefore, the Holy Decree decreed that Wang Dan and Kou Zhun would temporarily regent the government until the emperor was able to handle the government independently.
After a long time, the two were inevitably criticized as dictators and regents-
But just like Wang Dan said, "If you can really guarantee that my Great Song Dynasty will be forever, it doesn't matter if I am scolded a little." β
But at least now, no one dares to doubt the loyalty of these two people to the Great Song Dynasty.
It's just that no minister has ever seen the old emperor again.
I heard that after the old emperor abdicated, he stayed in Gyeongbokgung Palace all day, almost treating it as if it were his own dormitory.
Although the aftermath of Liu Xi's rebellion was not large, after all, it was quite troublesome to kill the right prime minister of the official to the first rank, and stabilize the situation.
Fortunately, the two governors worked together to finally get over this difficult period of power transfer.
A month later......
A magical story suddenly circulated in the capital-
"It is said that the day that Concubine Chen is about to give birth is also the day when the emperor returns to Beijing.
The ambitious Prime Minister Liu Xi united with the harem concubines with bad intentions, intending to fake a disaster, change the civet cat for the prince, and kill the king to seize the throne - and at this time, the emperor and the ministers did not know -
At this moment, a white light fell from the sky! A gray-haired young man accompanied by a white light landed in front of the emperor's chariot, like a god.
At this time, it was just as the Assassins wanted to kill the Emperor in the dark cave of the city gate!
It was that young man, standing proudly with his sword, his sword like lightning, flashing with golden light, and slashing all the assassins in the air with a single sword!
The young man told the emperor all the plans planned by the traitor, and rushed to Gyeongbokgung Palace with all the troops, which smashed their conspiracy in time and successfully saved the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Just after everything was over, the white-clothed immortal who almost saved the Great Song Dynasty was gone, and there was no trace to be found.
He left only one sentence.
A sentence that only the emperor, Concubine Chen, Wang Dan, and Kou Zhun could hear:
This son is the son of destiny, and he will be the lord of the world in the future - if the old emperor abdicates and makes way for Xian, not only can he enjoy his family in peace, but he can also ascend to Bliss and be in the immortal class after a hundred years!
With the previous omniscient and omnipotent, the emperor was convinced of the words of the white-clothed immortal, and really abdicated-
It is said that after all the immortals learned about it, they were all moved by the old emperor's willingness to give up power.
At this time, the old emperor already had his place in the immortal class of the heavenly court.
Speaking of this little emperor, most of the usual children need to be half a year old or even more than a year old before they can speak, and this little emperor directly called his father and mother at the full moon banquet - so talented, it really seems to be a little aura.
The two prime ministers have already been taught by the gods and instructed by the emperor to assist the new monarch -
With God's help, our Da Song will get better and better! Isn't it? Hahaha......"
In the pavilion on the riverside in the east of the city, the story came to an abrupt end, and Wang Dan, who was dressed in regular clothes, put away the folding fan and asked with a smile: "How is it, this story is not bad, right?" β
"ClichΓ©, too cheesy. This is what you came up with? At this time, Lin Xi, who had not appeared for nearly a month, was sitting opposite Wang Dan, drinking idle tea, leisurely commenting on the "story" brought by Wang Dan.
"Of course." Wang Dan said: "Don't look at this story, but the people eat this set...... That's enough! Haha......"
Lin Xi slowly stood up and stretched his waist: "Oops...... How's it going, everything is arranged? β
Wang Dan pursed his lips: "Hmm...... It's almost solved, but it's just that the twists and turns sent from all over the country are not old or young, and Kou Xiang doesn't have time to help me, so I have to work overtime to watch it alone. β
"Kou Xiang doesn't have time? What's going on? Lin Xi asked.
"He, now I'm going to the hospital to take care of the little girl who saved him."
"Tang Qingshuang?" Lin Xi frowned: "How is she recovering?" β
"Hey......" Wang Dan stretched out two fingers and tapped his eyes: "That poisonous fan ...... her eyes Alas, I guess I won't be able to open my eyes in the future. β
"It's a pity that a big girl in her twenties is just right, but she can't see it anymore......"
Outside the pavilion, only a few laughter as crisp as silver bells were heard: "Haha, pull it down, you're still young, you're about to become an old woman." β
Lin Xi looked back, it was Kou Xiang, who he hadn't seen for a long time, Kou Xiang was pushing a wheelchair, and sitting on it was Tang Qingshuang who was talking.
She is still handsome and beautiful, the only regret is that she closed her eyes forever-
"Don't think about it, if you're blind, you're blind." Tang Qingshuang didn't care at all, and joked with a smile: "Sai Weng lost his horse, don't you know if it's a blessing, right?" β
"Kou Xiang, are you here today, what's the matter?"
Kou Zhun said: "I said Xiaolin, do you really plan to leave alone?" Don't say hello to us? β
"Kou Xiang, you ...... How do you know? β
"Haha......" Kou Zhun touched Lin Xi's head, and Lin Xi was surprisingly quiet in front of the elders: "You, how many times have you come to see me these days, what are you thinking in your heart, I still don't know everything?" β
"We're here to see you off." Tang Qingshuang said.
A trace of warmth rose inexplicably in Lin Xi's heart: "Thank you." β
"Where do you want to go in the future?"
Lin Xi's eyes looked at the sky: "Probably...... Wander the world all over the world, where you go. β
"You?" Tang Qingshuang laughed and said, "You are not the kind of person who can travel the world. β
Kou Zhun smiled: "Okay, Xiaolin, if you have time in the future, remember to come back and see us." β
"Well, I will." Lin Xi asked again, "What about Li Qingyou?" β
"He's going to hide."
"Hide? What to hide? β
Tang Qingshuang said: "It's not because Ling'er pesters him all day long. β
"Haha......" Lin Xi smiled: "Tang Ling also went with him?" β
"yes." Kou Zhun nodded: "I think they are both hard-mouthed masters, and if they want to be together, I'm afraid it still depends on fate." β
"Everybody's here." Xi Jingyao's voice sounded from behind her, and everyone turned their heads.
Xi Jingyao carried a cloth bag on her shoulder and looked at everyone indifferently.
"You're leaving, too?" Kou Zhun asked.
"Yes, I want to go back and rebuild Xijiazhuang."
Although Tang Qingshuang couldn't see it, she could still clearly turn her head to Lin Xi's position: "You go back alone?" Lin Xi, aren't you going to help her? β
"I ...... I? Lin Xi was stunned.
"Forget it, Sister Shuang, don't bother him." Xi Jingyao pouted and snorted softly.
"Kou Xiang, Sister Shuang, Wang Ge Lao, we will have a period later."
"There will be a date later."
Before leaving, Xi Jingyao seemed to be a little reluctant to linger for a while: "Lin Xi, goodbye." β
"Lin Xi, Lin Xi ......" Kou Zhun patted him lightly twice.
"Ah...... Good bye. β
Xi Jingyao seemed to be a little lost, and under the gaze of everyone, she left alone into the distance.
"Hey, really don't you go?" Wang Dan asked Lin Xi.
Lin Xi said embarrassedly: "It's still ...... Do you still need me to go? β
Tang Qingshuang leaned back in the chair and said with a smile: "Your mouth is harder than Li Qingyou and Ling'er's." β
Kou Zhun pulled Lin Xi out of the pavilion, Xi Jingyao's figure was getting farther and farther away, and she couldn't see it clearly: "If you don't go, no one will be able to find it!" β
Lin Xi finally stopped bothering and nodded: "Well, I'll go!" Thank you. β
"Lin Xi is also gone." Looking at Lin Xi's distant back, Kou Zhun couldn't remember how many times he had seen such a scene.
Fortunately, this time it is no longer a parting of life and death.
"He's gone, let's go too." Kou Zhun lowered his head and asked, "Do your eyes still hurt?" β
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"It doesn't hurt...... If it doesn't hurt, go home. β
ββ¦β¦ Well. β
"Brother Wang, I'm also leaving." After saying goodbye to Wang Dan, Kou Zhun also left with Tang Qingshuang.
"It's all gone...... Wang Dan slowly stood up and stretched his waist for a long time: "Everyone is gone, you should come out too." β
Yang Huaizhen jumped down from the top of the pavilion and asked with a grin, "How do you know it's me?" β
Wang Dan snorted: "I still don't understand you?" What are you doing here? β
Yang Huaizhen said: "Look at the scenery." Finally, you can relax for two days and accompany me to the river? β
"Let's go, then."
While the two were walking, Yang Huaizhen showed off: "I said it a month ago, and now it seems that this day has really changed." β
Wang Dan laughed softly: "I really let this guy guess for a while." β
The river is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the undulating mountains and the emerald blue in the distance.
"Boom!"
A thick branch was inserted in the soil, and with this branch, Li Qingyou finally climbed to the top of Mount Tai Jade Emperor.
At the top of Mount Tai, above the sea of clouds, it seems that you can touch the sky. The cloudy, fairyland-like beauty makes people feel like they are in a picture.
The ancient temples and inscriptions behind him have witnessed the vicissitudes and changes of history. Every stone, every piece of rubble, is full of quaint charm.
Is this what it feels like to be at the top?
Feeling surrounded by mountains, Li Qingyou only felt relaxed and happy.
It's just that...... Under this magnificent scene, it seems that there is a person missing......
Li Qingyou seemed to have something in his heart, and unconsciously showed a smile.
"What are you laughing at?"
Soon, the voice in his heart sounded behind Li Qingyou.
Li Qingyou turned around abruptly.
"What are you so surprised for?" I saw that Tang Ling also climbed up from the mountain road out of breath.
"You haven't lost it for eight hundred miles with me?"
"Actually, I've lost it a long time ago. It's just ......" Tang Ling slowly walked to Li Qingyou's side, "It's just that you promised me to take me to see the scenery of Mount Tai, so I climbed up." β
"You're not afraid that I won't come?" Li Qingyou asked in a low voice.
Tang Ling smiled: "This is your promise, I believe you will definitely fulfill it." β
"To be honest," Li Qingyou's face flushed slightly: "I'm not sure if you'll come." β
"But you're still here, which means you still believe in me, right?"
"Where do you want to go in the future?" Li Qingyou asked.
Tang Ling asked Li Qingyou rhetorically: "What about you?" Where do you want to go? If you don't bother, I'll follow you. β
"Haha......" Li Qingyou asked with a smile: "If I want to become a monk, can you still follow me?" β
Tang Ling snorted lightly: "Where you go to become a monk, I will go to become a nun wherever I go, what's the matter?" Besides, become a monk," Tang Ling leaned into Li Qingyou's ear and asked with a red face: "Are you willing?" β
"Of course I don't want to ......," Li Qingyou said slowly: "When I came, I saw a good place, let's be a hunter in that small mountain village, and spend most of our lives, how about it?" β
Tang Ling nodded: "Hmm." β
"Don't you think I have no ambition?"
"No, it won't." Tang Ling hooked Li Qingyou's arm and said lightly: "The past twenty years have been exciting and enough." β
The spring water is murmuring, the deer are singing, and you can feel the cool breeze in the mountains and forests.
Stepping through the green waters and green mountains, the evening drum and morning bell, Xi Jingyao returned to her home.
"I'm back, Dad, Mother, Big Brother."
I don't know how long it's been.
Xi Jingyao finally returned here.
It seems that there is a lot to talk about with my family, but I don't know where to start.
Xi Jingyao stared blankly at the ruins of Xijiazhuang, which has been standing quietly on the bank of Wenshui.
"It's all burned out, and there's nothing left."
Suddenly there was the sound of rustling footsteps behind him.
Xi Jingyao turned around, and in the distance of the road, a white-haired young man was getting closer and closer.
"Lin Xi ......"
Xi Jingyao's eyes were red, and she didn't know if it was a mixture of joy and sorrow, or if the memories came to her heart.
Until he got closer, Lin Xi saw Xi Jingyao clearly, and Xi Jingyao also saw him clearly.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
Lin Xi smiled.
Xi Jingyao hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and also showed a bright smile that she had never seen before.
Lin Xi came closer and said softly, "You still look good with a smile." β
"I thought you weren't coming." Xi Jingyao said aggrievedly.
Lin Xi said: "I don't have a home, where else can I go?" β
"Isn't your home in Suzhou?"
Lin Xi smiled bitterly and looked up into the distance.
"A place where there are people is called home."
Xi Jingyao's hand deftly touched the back of Lin Xi's hand.
The two stood quietly on the riverbank, quietly clasping their fingers.
With what he thought in his heart, after several years of running, Lin Xi would finally get the peace that belonged to him.
"Lin Xi ......"
"What's wrong?"
ββ¦β¦ It's nothing. Tomorrow morning, I'll make you some bean curd to eat. β
