Qi Mingxu Fanwai (II)

The imperial mausoleum in Nanli was built a long time ago, and it looks quite simple from the outside.

Qi Mingxu personally lit three incense sticks to worship Nanli.

Liang Guangyu did not light incense, but took out a crisp persimmon from his sleeve and put it in front of Nanli's mausoleum.

Qi Mingxu watched his movements curiously: "Why did you bring a persimmon here?" ”

Liang Guangyu said: "The first emperor likes to eat persimmons, he will like this sacrifice." ”

Qi Mingxu turned his head and ordered a few words to the guards on the side, and after a while, the guards ran back with a basket of freshly picked persimmons.

"Just when I came over, I saw a few wild persimmon trees next to the imperial mausoleum." Qi Mingxu placed these persimmons one by one in front of the mausoleum in Nanling, "Hasn't he stayed in the palace all the time, how can he like this kind of fruit that ordinary people only like to eat." ”

Liang Guangyu said: "The first emperor not only liked to eat persimmons, but also liked persimmon flowers. When the persimmon flowers are in full bloom, he can sit alone under the tree for a day. ”

Qi Mingxu was interested: "Can you tell me what kind of person he is?" ”

Nanli in the mouth of the world is not literate and ink, indulged in pleasure, moody, and indecisive...... It was as if all the good words of the world could not be applied to him.

But only through the words relayed by Liang Guangyu and the items he handed over, Qi Mingxu knew that Nan Li was by no means the kind of person he was rumored.

It's just that Qi Mingxu doesn't know what kind of temperament Nanli has.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint General Qi." Liang Guangyu shook his head, "Actually, I don't know what kind of person Your Majesty is. ”

Qi Mingxu was surprised: "How could it be." ”

Liang Guangyu smiled: "The first emperor in my eyes is the same as the first emperor in the eyes of the world." Before he killed Ji Yushan and cut off Ji Yushan's head, no one, including me, could have imagined that he would do such a thing. ”

Qi Mingxu was still a little incomprehensible: "Since he ascended the throne, haven't you been serving by his side." ”

Liang Guangyu: "The people who served around the first emperor were basically arranged by Ji Yushan and Empress Dowager Ji. ”

Only then did Qi Mingxu understand. If he was in the same situation as Nan Li, he would never be able to expose his true thoughts in front of these palace guards.

"Then you shouldn't know the purpose of his Star Palace." Qi Mingxu said, he originally wanted to inquire about the Star Picking Palace.

Liang Guangyu said: "This, I should know." The Star Picking Palace was built by the first emperor to commemorate his biological mother Yao Guifei, and it houses the portrait of Yao Guifei and the relics of Yao Guifei during her lifetime. ”

Qi Mingxu was slightly stunned.

At this moment, Li Guanqi suddenly walked quickly in front of Qi Mingxu and Liang Guangyu: "Big brother, a lame man with a scar on his face appeared outside the imperial mausoleum, saying that he wanted to worship the first emperor. He called himself Yao Sheng'an. ”

Before Qi Mingxu could react to who "Yao Shengan" was, Liang Guangyu was already surprised: "He is still alive!?" ”

After knowing who Yao Shengan was from Liang Guangyu's mouth, Qi Mingxu hurriedly said, "Invite him in." ”

After a while, Li Guanqi helped Yao Shengan walk in, and Jiang Ding followed him to help carry things.

Liang Guangyu's eyes fell on Yao Shengan, and he didn't dare to recognize it at first sight.

Is such a middle-aged man who is dying, with a half-disfigured face and a lame leg, really the freshly dressed and angry and high-spirited Yao family general back then?

In the end, it was Yao Shengan who spoke first and said hello to Liang Guangyu.

Liang Guangyu was confused: "It's really you......"

Yao Shengan smiled, his gaze fell on the imperial mausoleum behind Liang Guangyu, his eyes sad and far-reaching.

His sister was buried there, and his sister's only child was buried.

He always thought that he could wait until Ji Yushan died before returning to the capital to recognize this child.

But he never met the child, let alone apologized to the child, and the child passed away in such a decisive and tragic way.

Qi Mingxu said thoughtfully: "If General Yao wants to worship, just go and worship." ”

"Thank you, General Qi."

Yao Shengan limped to Nanli's mausoleum and stood in front of Nanli's mausoleum for a long time with a cane, and then slowly moved to Yao Guifei's mausoleum.

Maybe when people are sad to a certain extent, they don't even have the strength to cry. Yao Shengan threw away his crutches and knelt in front of Yao Guifei's mausoleum, his body almost showing a curled posture, burying his head deep in the ground,

Just looking at it from a distance, Qi Mingxu and the others could feel the ultimate pathos and grief from Yao Shengan.

Qi Mingxu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he shifted his attention to Jiang Ding: "Third brother, what is the wooden box you are carrying in your hand?" ”

Jiang Ding came back to his senses: "This is Yao Sheng'an Yao's belongings, I just helped him carry it." ”

About a quarter of an hour later, Yao Shengan limped back, there were no tears on his face, but the area around his eyes was already red.

Qi Mingxu asked softly, "Why doesn't General Yao stay longer?" ”

Yao Shengan politely rejected Qi Mingxu's kindness: "I came here today, in addition to worshipping them, mainly to ask General Qi for something. ”

What Yao Shengan asked for had something to do with the wooden box in Jiang Ding's hand.

The contents of the wooden box are the evidence that Yao Sheng'an has spent a long time collecting - with these evidences, it is enough to wash away the stigma of the Yao family, give the old general Yao and them justice, and give the truth to the 30,000 dead soldiers and their families.

This matter is good and bad for Qi Mingxu, so Qi Mingxu immediately responded: "I will immediately order someone to start handling this matter." ”

Yao Shengan made a big salute to Qi Mingxu, and his face revealed a dead silence that had fulfilled his wish: "Thank you, General Qi." ”

When Liang Guangyu saw him like this, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and asked him if he had a place to stay in Beijing.

Yao Shengan coughed twice and said with a smile: "After I heard about the incident in Beijing, I hurried over from the north. I just arrived in the capital today, and I haven't had time to find a place to stay. ”

Liang Guangyu said: "Then you can go back to live with me for a while, and I will ask the doctor to regulate your body." ”

Qi Mingxu also said: "I will let the imperial doctor in the palace diagnose and treat General Yao." ”

Yao Shengan first thanked Qi Mingxu before saying to Liang Guangyu: "I am already a person who will die in your mansion, and I am afraid that I will add bad luck to you." ”

Liang Guangyu felt sour in his heart and scolded: "What are you talking about frustrating, haven't you seen the Yao family wash away their grievances, and they are willing to leave like this?" Okay, okay, you can go home with me, say one more word, and I'll tie you back directly. ”

In the end, Yao Shengan followed Liang Guangyu back to the Liang Mansion, and Qi Mingxu also sent a doctor to treat Yao Sheng'an as he said.

After the imperial doctor returned to the palace, Qi Mingxu specially called the imperial doctor to inquire about Yao Sheng'an's physical condition.

The Imperial Physician shook his head: "General Yao is already at the end of the crossbow, and now he is just holding on to his last breath." ”

Qi Mingxu sighed, and immediately sent someone to sort out the evidence and return the Yao family to innocence.

Soon after the truth came out, Yao Shengan died of illness with a smile.

Liang Guangyu buried Yao Sheng in the ancestral grave of the Yao family and buried him next to his father and brother.

Soon after, Qi Mingxu took out the Zen edict written to him by Nan Li, officially ascended the throne as the emperor, and still set the capital of Luocheng, and the country name was changed to "Yong".

After the enthronement ceremony, the first holy decree promulgated by Qi Mingxu was to draw up a nickname for Nanli.

The courtiers came up with the nickname "Si".

Morality is pure and one thinks, the people of the big province think about it, and the outside thinks about it.

"Si" is generally regarded as a plain word, and is usually used on the king of the deceased country to convey a feeling of mourning.

But Qi Mingxu thought about it for a long time, and tried his best to overcome public opinion, and set Nanli's nickname as "Xuan".

Shengshan Zhou heard and said that he could make a declaration.

This is a very good and positive nickname, which is generally given to the lord of ZTE. It is actually very inappropriate to use it on Nan Li. [Note]

When Li Guanqi asked the reason, Qi Mingxu said: "These days, I am always wondering, if I can get acquainted with him earlier, will Daye be able to achieve Zhongxing rule in our hands." After thinking about it a lot, he felt that it was more suitable for him to pronounce this nickname than to think about it. ”

"Big brother admires Emperor Xuan very much." Li Guanqi said with a smile.

Qi Mingxu regretted: "It's a pity that I couldn't get acquainted with Emperor Xuan in this life, and I couldn't have a good time with him." ”

Jiang Ding didn't understand one thing: "The eldest brother said that Emperor Xuan is the one who knows you, so why did he still set himself on fire in the Star Picking Palace?" With your temperament, not only will it not hurt his life, but it will also make him prosperous, rich, clothed and fed for the rest of his life. ”

Qi Mingxu subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the Star Picking Palace, which was still in ruins: "He should be ...... It's so lonely. ”

He won't hurt Nan Li's life, but because of Nan Li's special status, it is impossible for him to let Nan Li run around.

And Nan Li has been imprisoned in the palace since he was born, imprisoned in this boxy palace, with no freedom and no concern.

Perhaps death meant relief for Nan Li.

"Big brother! Eldest brother! Why haven't you woken up yet, how much wine did you secretly drink behind our backs last night! ”

Jiang Ding's loud voice was extremely penetrating, waking Qi Mingxu up from his dream.

He opened his eyes, clutched his hungover-sore head, and stared blankly at the bed, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams.

It wasn't until he saw Li Guanqi, Jiang Ding, and Qi Si walk into the house that Qi Mingxu regained his senses: "What time is it?" ”

Li Guanqi said with a smile: "The sun is about to set at this time. ”

Qi Mingxu gasped: "I actually slept for so long." ”

Jiang Ding nodded again and again: "Yes, if it weren't for the fourth brother who said that your pulse is stable and doesn't look like you're sick, I can't help but go into the palace to ask for a doctor." ”

A few people chatted with Qi Mingxu for a few words, and then withdrew to let Qi Mingxu freshen up.

It wasn't until a bowl of steaming millet porridge was eaten that Qi Mingxu pulled out of the afterglow of that dream.

For some reason, looking at the brothers, Qi Mingxu suddenly wanted to see Nanliujing immediately: "I want to enter the palace to see Your Majesty." ”

"Enter the palace at this point?" Li Guanqi subconsciously turned his head to look at the sky outside, "This point palace gate is about to be locked." ”

Qi Mingxu smiled: "It's okay, it's a big deal, I'll beg Your Majesty tonight, please let Your Majesty allow me to stay in the palace." With that, Qi Mingxu left the three brothers and strode out.

The three people who were left behind by Qi Mingxu looked at each other, and they couldn't guess what kind of medicine Qi Mingxu was selling in his gourd.

On the other side, Qi Mingxu rode a horse, and with the token, he entered the palace smoothly before the palace gate was locked.

Gui Sheng was shocked when he heard the news and came to greet him: "Is there something urgent about Grandpa Guo?" ”

Qi Mingxu smiled heartily: "If I say that I have nothing to do, I just want to enter the palace to drink with His Majesty, won't the Guild think I'm a little reckless?" ”

Gui Sheng smiled dumbly: "It's okay if there's nothing urgent, Your Majesty is practicing painting in the Star Palace at this time, and the old slave will bring the grandfather of the country over." ”

After a short time, the two arrived at the Star Picking Palace.

Looking at the brightly lit and gorgeous palace not far ahead, Qi Mingxu felt an inexplicable melancholy in his heart.

Nan Liujing had just finished painting a painting, and when he saw Qi Mingxu coming, he put down the brush in his hand, walked to the basin on the side, cleaned his hands, and asked Qi Mingxu with a smile if he had dinner.

"I ate a bowl of millet porridge." Qi Mingxu said truthfully, "It's almost digested at this time." ”

Nan Liujing said: "Then Brother Qi will have dinner with me." ”

After dinner, the two walked to the pavilion in the courtyard and sat down.

Gui Sheng personally sent a jar of heroic tears: "Isn't Grandpa Guo looking for His Majesty to drink, this is a new tribute wine from the Northland, Grandpa Guo can try the taste." ”

Putting down the wine, Gui Sheng retreated farther away with the other palace people, leaving enough space for the two to talk.

Nan Liujing picked up the wine jar and poured a glass of wine for Qi Mingxu: "Has Brother Qi's mood been sorted out?" ”

Qi Mingxu was stunned at first, and then smiled: "It's already good." ”

"What happened to you? I can be a qualified listener. ”

Qi Mingxu said: "I had a dream. ”

"Is it a nightmare?"

"I can't say if it's a good dream or a nightmare. For me, it can be considered a good dream, but for most people in this world, it is a nightmare. ”

Nan Liujing looked puzzled, but he still looked at Qi Mingxu quietly, waiting for Qi Mingxu to continue.

Who knew that Qi Mingxu said this, so he didn't say it anymore, but raised his glass and toasted Nanliujing with a glass of wine: "Your Majesty, come and drink a bar." ”

Nan Liujing clinked glasses with him and drank the heroic tears in the cup.

Qi Mingxu immediately filled the two of them: "Come again, come again." ”

Nan Liujing was confused, so he could only continue to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, looking at Nanliujing, who was already a little drunk and resting on the table with his head resting on his arms, Qi Mingxu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I am a hero created by the times. And you are the hero who is creating the situation. ”

"I'm glad I met you early, and I'm glad I was able to drink with you from time to time."

He thought that he was the only one who knew about that long, strange dream.

Compared with losing important people, burdened with guilt and indebtedness, and finally becoming the founding king of Dayong, he hopes to continue to be Daye's Zhongxing famous general, several brothers are alive and well, and the brothers' families have never been implicated by him.

In his dream, he always hoped to be able to meet Nan Li, but in reality, he only hoped that Nan Liujing would never become Nan Li.

The Star Picking Palace should never have that raging fire.

He and Nan Liujing will become the best brothers, kings and ministers who trust life and death. ：，，
