Chapter 32: Emperor Zhou Yan
Shi Sheng jumped up in fright, dumbfounded, the Great Zhou Emperor! It has been nearly a thousand years since the Great Zhou Dynasty perished, and this old man actually claims to be the Great Zhou Emperor! Is this old man a human or a ghost?
After a long while, Shi Sheng settled down and said, "Senior, you ...... Are you kidding? It has been nearly a thousand years since the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Zhou Yan, has also passed away for a thousand years, and you ...... it."
When the old man heard the words "the fall of the Great Zhou", he couldn't help but look gloomy, and said: "I am the emperor of the Great Weekend, and my descendants ...... Will future generations give me the nickname 'Mourning'? What a 'Mourning'...... What a 'mourning' word......"
Shi Sheng was shocked again, and lost his voice: "You...... How could you be...... Old-timers, don't be kidding......"
The old man blew his beard and glared, "Who said I was joking with you......?" What Emperor Zhou, besides me, is there a second Great Weekend Emperor?"
Shi Sheng's heart was shocked, and he said suspiciously: "Senior, you ...... Are you really Emperor Zhou?" The old man said angrily: "Why not?" Shi Sheng said with a bitter face: "But...... But this is too unbelievable! Senior, if you are really Emperor Zhou Yan, then you ...... Didn't he live for more than a thousand years?"
The old man sighed: "Who can live for a thousand years if you live for a hundred years......?" My flesh has long since decayed, and now ...... Now it's just a ghost. ”
"Soul?" Shi Sheng shuddered and said, "Senior, you ...... Are you a ghost?"
The old man's expression was gloomy, and he said, "You said that I am a ghost...... That's pretty much the same, when the Great Zhou Dynasty fell, I killed myself with the Zhenguo Divine Sword, and I thought that everything would be empty when people died. It's a hundred, who knows...... Who knew that after I died, my soul was sucked into the sword and became a ...... Become a sword spirit. ”
"Sword Spirit!" Shi Sheng was shocked, and suddenly remembered the four words "the deed soldiers have spirits" in the "Ten Commandments of the Taoist Canon"; could it be that there really were souls among the deed soldiers? If it is the body of a soul, it is indeed impossible to exist for a thousand years, and if you think that the evil spirit of the mountain king, won't it survive for more than a thousand years? As for the Red Flame Devouring Beast Ember can live for more than a thousand years. It's because he's a monster. The lifespan of demon beasts is much longer than that of humans, and it is very common for sixth-order demon beasts to live for more than a thousand years.
After a long time, Shi Sheng came back to his senses. Look at the old man. "So," he asked, "So...... Predecessor. Are you really Emperor Zhou?" Emperor Zhou looked a little proud, nodded and said, "It's like a fake." ”
Shi Sheng settled down and slowly sat down against the stone wall. Said: "That...... Emperor Zhou Bixia, you ......" Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said: "The king of the dead country, how dare you call yourself ......the emperor again?" You'd better call me senior. ”
Shi Sheng heard the loneliness in Emperor Zhou's words, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said, "Yes, senior." After a pause, he said: "Senior, why are you in this cave, and why did you save us?" As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Yanji and Xu Tieshan out of the corner of his eye, looking quite worried, but Emperor Zhou Yan did not speak, Shi Sheng did not dare to make a claim, for fear of annoying Emperor Zhou Yan, and the three of them all had to die here.
Emperor Zhou Yan sighed, looked up at the stone wall, with a look of remembrance in his eyes, and said, "That year...... The thief rebelled, overthrew my Great Zhou Sheji, I knew that I could not escape death, killed myself, and unknowingly became a sword spirit...... The Blue Mountain Kingdom established has been on the rubble of my Great Zhou for hundreds of years, and it has long been deeply rooted...... I had no way to take revenge and no way to restore the country, so I wandered around and came to this Sanhe County to settle down in this cave. ”
Shen Jizhen is the founding emperor of the Blue Mountain Kingdom, when the Great Zhou Kingdom was destroyed, it was Shen Jizhen who led it, and later established the Blue Mountain Kingdom, achieving a thousand years of hegemony, and is a very remarkable figure.
Shi Sheng asked, "Senior, why did you choose to settle down in Sanhe County, because ...... Is it because of Concubine Liu?"
Concubine Liu is Emperor Zhou's favorite concubine - Liu Junqing, and she is also a famous red face in history, and many people in later generations believe that the main reason for the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty is Concubine Liu Junqing.
In the year of the Great Weekend, Emperor Zhou Yan favored Concubine Liu, ignored Sheji, smiled for the concubine, often worked the people and lost money, wantonly extravagant, and even the Sanhua River that went straight to the sea was dug out, which eventually led to the corruption of the Great Zhou Society, the rampant corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the people's complaints, and the people's livelihood, and the Zhao family of the Great Zhou royal family lost the hearts of the people, so that Shen Jizhen had a chance to destroy the Great Zhou without blood, and established the Blue Mountain Kingdom.
During the reign of Emperor Zhou Yan, there are two imperial capitals in the south and one in the north, the northern emperor is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the southern emperor is Sanhe County, because Emperor Zhou and Concubine Liu often go south to play, and the temporary palace is in Sanhe County, so there are many relics of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Sanhe County, and the jade statue of Concubine Liu is still in Sanhe City, standing on the bank of the Sanhua River.
For Emperor Zhou, the most nostalgic place, in addition to the Great Zhou Palace, is Sanhe City, there are too many memories of him and Concubine Liu, so Shi Sheng guessed that Emperor Zhou settled in Sanhe County because of Concubine Liu.
Emperor Zhou Yan's expression was gloomy, and he said: "Naturally, it is for Qing'er, I have failed her, I have been guilty every day for hundreds of years, and my heart is tormented, I want to compensate Qing'er a lot, but I can't help it...... Qing'er ...... Qing'er has passed away a long time ago, but I don't even know where her fragrant grave is......"
Shi Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, this Emperor Zhou Yan is really an infatuated species, he has not forgotten his love after a thousand years, and he still has a love for Concubine Liu, but what puzzles Shi Sheng is that Concubine Liu can be described as three thousand favors during her lifetime, why does Emperor Zhou Yan still claim to have a negative Concubine Liu?
Shi Sheng is a straight intestine, he asks what he thinks, and immediately says: "Senior, you are very fond of Concubine Liu, how can you fail her?"
Emperor Zhou Yan sighed, his long sleeves flicked, and there were a few more lines of text on the stone wall, Shi Sheng stared at it, but it was a poem, the poem said: "Not on the king's side, how to know the king's heart? No longer the mermaid language, weak willow Xiaofeng light. Fight for two days, dare to be a concubine for a lifetime. ”
Shi Sheng looked at it and said, "Senior, is this poem written by Concubine Liu?" Emperor Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Shi Sheng paid attention to the poems and texts, and repeatedly experienced the two sentences of zuihou, "Fight for two days, dare to be a concubine for a lifetime", and suddenly understood in his heart that Emperor Zhou was still so guilty about Concubine Liu after a thousand years, just because he owed Concubine Liu a title! The title of a queen, Concubine Liu was only a concubine from beginning to end, not a queen. (To be continued......)
