Chapter One Hundred and Five
It takes a long time to walk from Chang'an City to Huangzhou, through the Datang Half Realm, through millions of miles of green sea, and then to Huangzhou, it takes at least half a year to walk.
Now that Qin Feng is sending him all the way, the speed is naturally faster.
Zhong Liang didn't follow, he still stayed in the academy, he went to the small round gate, Jiuzi was no longer standing outside the door, he pushed the door and walked in, Mo Shanhai stood alone in the courtyard, with his back to him, Jiuzi was gone.
Before he could speak, Mo Shanhai asked, "Most of what Qin Feng said is right, and only one thing is wrong. ”
Zhong Liang was silent for a while, and said, "I don't want to know about this. ”
Mo Shanhai stopped talking.
Zhong Liang didn't ask where Jiuzi had gone, he knew that from now on, Jiuzi would never appear in the academy and Meiling again, there was a wider world in this world, and when the tigers broke out of their cages and entered the mountains, who could catch their traces?
The time of January is fleeting, the world is still as calm as ever, and dozens of immortals have walked out of those doors on Wudang Mountain, all of whom were killed on the spot by the sword without exception, but Wang Zhiwei's body also had many wounds, Chen Linci has arrived in Wudang Mountain, and one after another doctors will send the precious elixir collected there, and Chen Linci will refine it into healing medicine, which will be provided to Wang Zhiwei at any time.
Everything in Chang'an City began to run in an orderly manner, and everyone was doing their own thing.
Chen Yanyan, Yang Feihong and Qi Qin were very busy, and in the end, they even pulled Ding Yi, who was disabled in both legs, to deal with government affairs, and the military situation of Xiaonanqiao also came back, the deserted people have been driven away, and they are killed and injured, and they don't need to be big again in the next hundred years, if Tang Guo handles it well, maybe they don't need to worry about this problem in the future.
Liu Ran and the others had also withdrawn to the Tang Kingdom and returned to Tingxue Tower.
Cui Yasi has also come to Chang'an City, he did not return to Jincheng, as one of the most trusted people of the Tang Emperor, the status and resources he has obtained can only be surpassed by the Northland, after all, this Jincheng Taishou is a man who dares to kill the queen and the Five Realms Grandmaster sent by Qi Qin.
It is also because of the existence of Cui Yasi outside Chang'an City that the Tang Emperor can rest assured that the Tang Emperor can rest assured that the deceased and the prince Li Xianyi can not worry about the original queen and the prince Li Xianyi can not worry about the original queen and the prince Li Xianyi.
It was an iron bucket, an important factor in maintaining the stability of the Tang Kingdom.
It can be said that although Cui Yasi is not as famous as the north in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty, but in the eyes of the hundred officials of the imperial court, it has its own merits.
The crown prince walked back from the north, and compared with the hurry when he left, the speed of his return was not fast, it was enough to be called a slow return, because he knew that when he returned to Chang'an City, it was when the Tang Emperor left the world, he didn't want to meet the Tang Emperor, but he didn't want the Tang Emperor to leave, this was a very contradictory and normal psychology, he didn't know how to face this emotion, so he could only walk slowly, as slowly as possible.
Emperor Tang is also waiting, he is waiting for the prince, and he is also waiting for Cui Yasi.
He has always stood on the stargazing platform these days, handing over all the things in Chang'an City to Qi Qin and others to deal with, facing the matter of Qi Qin helping the queen and the prince to fight for power, the emperor didn't seem to care, it was difficult to see any joy and anger on the face of that Qing monk, even when the queen who grew up with him died in his hands, those eyes never fluctuated.
Today's stargazing platform is very quiet, the people of the National Teacher's Mansion have already evacuated, and no one dares to disturb the emperor these days.
And at this moment, two people came under the stargazing platform, and these were two people that Li Xiu was very familiar with.
Jincheng Cui Yasi, Sijiu City Chu Zhaonan.
The two of them came here side by side, looking up at the towering stargazing platform, and neither of them took a step forward.
Cui Yasi stood below and watched for a long time, until Chu Zhaonan sniffled impatiently before he said with a complicated expression: "Since Li Shuai died, he can no longer be called a qualified emperor. ”
He did not call Emperor Tang His Majesty, but directly called him, which is a very disrespectful performance, and the most important thing is that the person who said this is Cui Yasi, the henchman of His Majesty who everyone in the world knows.
When you hear it, you will be shocked.
But after hearing this, Chu Zhaonan did not show any surprise, but nodded approvingly: "Maybe he has never been suitable to be an emperor." ”
Cui Yasi glanced at him, and what he said was a little too straightforward.
Chu Zhaonan patted his belly, and then spread his hands, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
When Li Shuai died, the Tang Emperor was in retreat, if it weren't for the national teacher and Qi Qin and others to control the country with all their might, the Tang Dynasty at that time might have become chaotic.
Cui Yasi was silent for a while, and said: "For Tang Guo, he may not be a qualified emperor, but for the whole world, his choice is not wrong. ”
Chu Zhaonan smiled and said: "Before the result appeared, his choice was right and wrong and could not be seen very directly, the reason why he was able to do what he wanted to do so unscrupulously was because he gave birth to a good son." ”
This is talking about the prince, that is, talking about Li Xianyi.
The reason why the Tang Emperor was able to stand on the stargazing platform for so many days, and the reason why he was able to abandon the Tang Kingdom and go to Huaiyu Pass, was because the Tang Dynasty had Li Xianyi to take care of it, the throne would be inherited by Li Xianyi, and the state affairs would be handled by Li Xianyi.
There is nothing controversial about this, and Cui Yasi obviously agrees with Chu Zhaonan's words.
He walked up towards the stargazing platform, Chu Zhaonan didn't move, he was still standing there looking at him.
Cui Yasi's footsteps paused, and he looked back at him, frowning slightly.
Chu Zhaonan smiled and said, "I haven't seen Your Majesty for so many years, and I can't help but want to scold when we meet again, so I won't go up, so as not to lose my head." ”
Cui Yasi's frowning brows relaxed, he nodded, and then said, "I'll scold you." ”
Chu Zhaonan held his stomach with his hand and said happily: "Then scold a few more words, otherwise when he goes to the sky, he won't have a chance to scold in the future." ”
Cui Yasi continued to walk up, saying as he walked: "Remember to help me prepare a coffin." ”
As a courtier, insulting the emperor is a capital offense.
Chu Zhaonan didn't speak, looked at his gradually rising back, and muttered: "Your Majesty is reluctant to kill you, so you still have to do this scolding work, if I also go up, I can't help but scold a few words, but the addiction is too much, this coffin must put me in it." ”
He glanced around, raised his hand and beckoned an attendant: "Who, come over with half a bench for Lord Ben." ”
The attendant bowed, answered, and turned away.
Chu Zhaonan shouted at his back, "Get two more pots of wine for Lao Tzu." ”
He sat under the stargazing platform and drank steadily, not moving like a mountain.
Cui Yasi walked on the stargazing platform, his face was extremely calm, but with every step up, the anger in his heart became more and more vigorous, and gradually the fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched knuckles white.
The observatory is very high, and he still has some way to go.
And at this moment, the stargazing platform is not as everyone imagined, only the Tang Emperor is standing there, there is a person standing beside him, that is Li Anzhi, the king of Chen Liu, since the Fengyi Hall collapsed a few days ago, after the Tang Emperor killed the queen, Li Anzhi returned to the palace and lived a stable life with Qi Liu and Li Xing'er.
The dispute between the crown prince and King Wu has ended, and the contradiction between Li Anzhi and Qi Liu has naturally disappeared, this time is the happiest time for Li Xing'er, and she can feel that the barrier that has always existed between her father and mother has disappeared.
Li Xianyi still has about a day to reach Chang'an City, and a day later is the day when the Tang Emperor leaves.
So Li Anzhi, who has lived a peaceful life for a period of time, walked on the stargazing platform today.
He did not wear armor, and since the death of the Empress, the armor that had always been on his body had no need to continue to wear.
Today, he is wearing a black dress, and Li Laizhi also liked to wear black back then, they are brothers.
"We haven't seen each other in a long time. ”
Li Anzhi stood beside Emperor Tang and said softly.
Tang Huang just nodded lightly and did not speak.
It had indeed been a long time since they had seen each other, and they had not spoken for a long time.
"What have you gained during the years of retreat?"
The harvest he asked about was naturally about the harvest of stepping into the Six Realms, and the Tang Emperor's retreat was for the purpose of entering the Six Realms.
Tang Huang shook his head and said, "Worse." ”
Li Anzhi sneered slightly: "You were worse before the retreat, and you are still worse after you get out of the retreat, and your nearly twenty years of cultivation have gone to the dog?"
He scolded very bluntly because they had a good relationship.
Tang Huang naturally didn't get angry, but was even more silent.
So Li Anzhi stopped talking, the two fell silent at the same time, the reunion of old friends can always draw out a lot of memories, the four people back then, the five people later, and then the two people now, the people and things around them are constantly changing under the passage of time.
Li Anzhi's eyes were a little red, and the palm of Emperor Tang's hidden robe trembled a little.
The higher the realm, the stronger the strength, and the more stable the mind, but the reason why people are human is because they have feelings, no matter how high the realm is, there will always be irrepressible emotional fluctuations.
Who can really watch each other die?
Li Laizhi died, and the queen just wanted to reduce his prestige in the army, and later by mistake, Congpu took advantage of this civil strife and the stupid Concubine Yang to shoot Li Laizhi with the only sun on the sacred tree.
Is the queen happy?
The queen cried that night in an inhuman form.
A few days ago, Emperor Tang personally killed the queen, and he has always stood on the stargazing platform these days, because of what?
Because this place is very high, because this place is very close to the sky, folk rumors that people will go to another world after death, for the monks, of course, they know that it is just a rumor, and it is not true, but Tang Huang is still standing here, his eyes are still calm, but that heart has never stopped the turbulent waves for an instant.
The queen is dead, is Ang Lee happy?
And he returned to his palace and sat in his study for seven days, and saw no one.
The current can't erase everything back then, and we are always the few people who can't let go of their feelings.
Li Anzhi had been here for an hour, and he had planned to think about the past, and he had planned to say something together, but it was not until he actually stood by the side of the Tang Emperor that he could feel the anger and sadness hidden under the calm enough to burn the sky.
So he didn't mention that year, as far as the two of them are concerned, where is there anything back then?
"You should be nicer to Li Xianyi. ”
He spoke again and broke the silence.
Emperor Tang said softly: "He will be a very good emperor, he can bear more than we imagined." ”
Li Anzhi looked at him sideways and said seriously: "But he shouldn't and doesn't need to bear these things." ”
Just like the loneliness in front of him, the desire in front of him, Tang Huang can easily give more, but he has no such plan, and he is not even willing to wait a little longer to see Li Xianyi, he believes that the moment the prince steps into the city gate, Tang Huang will leave the world.
Tang Huang tilted his head to look at him, Li Anzhi did not shy away from it, the eyes of the two collided in the air, and no one gave in.
It wasn't until a moment later that Emperor Tang looked away and said softly: "The door of heaven has been opened, no one can say what the world will become in the future, he has too many feelings, it will affect some things, I can not teach him much, except for this." ”
Li Anzhi sneered: "What bullshit logic?"
Emperor Tang looked down at Chang'an City and did not speak.
Li Anzhi said again: "If Cui Yasi comes here, he will definitely scold him even more fiercely than me." ”
Emperor Tang was silent for a while and said, "He has already come." ”
Li Anzhi said lightly: "That's great, I'll just wait here to see how he scolds you." ”
Tang Huang said: "You don't need to be like this, I won't be so stupid as to kill him." ”
He thinks that Li Anzhi stayed here to avoid him being angry with Cui Yasi.
Li Anzhi didn't explain, and said calmly: "That's not good." ”
Some memories don't need to be spoken, and you don't need to mention them, just like the two of them, just stand there, look at each other, and there will be thousands of memories in their hearts.
The stargazing platform is very high, enough for ordinary people to walk for a long time, Cui Yasi began to walk very fast, and then the closer he walked, the slower he walked, until there was still a distance of about five hundred steps before he snorted coldly, and rushed up quickly.
His face was very calm, but there was anger and disappointment in his eyes, and he couldn't help but open his mouth the moment he saw Emperor Tang, but he glanced at Li Anzhi who was standing on the side, and his anger turned into a cold snort.
It was a cold snort with mixed emotions.
Emperor Tang turned his back to him and asked, "How are things handled in the south?"
Cui Yasi replied, "Very good." ”
Emperor Tang nodded and said something very good.
Then fell silent again.
Li Anzhi leaned on the guardrail of the stargazing platform, his black clothes fluttering in the wind, he looked at Cui Yasi and said: "Before you came up, I made a bet with Your Majesty, saying that you would definitely scold him fiercely, but now it seems that I lost the bet, I can't think of the dignified Optimus Pillar, Jincheng is too guarded by Cui Yasi, and even the emperor doesn't dare to scold." ”
Cui Yasi looked at the back of Emperor Tang, in all fairness, he had already made a draft when he came up, what swear words to start with, what swear words to pave the way, what swear words to use, what swear words to finish, all of them had already thought clearly, but when he came up and saw Tang Huang, the respect in his heart overpowered the anger.
He now understood the true meaning of Chu Zhaonan's stay below, because Chu Zhaonan knew that he would not open his mouth to curse in the end.
And if Chu Zhaonan went up by himself, he would have to open his mouth to scold.
With a wry smile, he stared at Emperor Tang and said, "Your Majesty, you abdicate!"
Li Anzhi looked at him sharply, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the words spread, but they were more shocking than scolding people directly.
A courtier, who traveled thousands of miles to Kyoto, walked on the highest stargazing platform in Chang'an City, and then said lightly to the current emperor, you abdicate!
If scolding is not enough to make the emperor angry, but saying such a sentence is really going to kill the head.
He leaned towards Cui Yasi quietly, ensuring his safety.
Cui Yasi naturally knew the serious consequences of this sentence, but there was no fear on his face, only calm.
Calm as water.
This is what he wants to say the most, from the time Li Shuai died in battle, the Tang Emperor was unmoved, and he wanted to say this sentence when he chose to retreat, but at that time the court was shaken, and it was not appropriate to say it, and since then there has been no chance to meet the Tang Emperor, until this moment.
Until now.
He said what he had been holding back for nearly twenty years.
The typed drafts and swear words have long ceased to be so important.
Tang Huang didn't get angry, nor did he have any angry expression, he just turned around and looked at Cui Yasi.
The two have known each other for many years, starting from the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the first person at that time, Tang Huang, was the father of the current Tang Emperor, that is, Li Xianyi's grandfather.
Cui Yasi is his confidant, and he has grown step by step from him to the present.
Although the two are monarchs and ministers, they are more of friends.
He knew Cui Yasi very well, so it was not surprising that he would say such a thing.
The eyes of the two men were staring at each other, and no one on the stargazing platform spoke, and it seemed extremely quiet.
It wasn't until a long time later that Tang Huang nodded and said softly, "Okay!"
Li Anzhi looked back at him.
Cui Yasi knelt on the ground, his eyes red.
Emperor Tang looked up at the sky, he was wearing that white robe, black hair scattered on his shoulders, this look didn't look like an emperor no matter how he looked at it, he said softly: "Maybe you are right, I have never been suitable to be an emperor, so I have never been able to set foot in the Six Realms and cultivate as an emperor for so many years." ”
Ang Lee's words: "Some things can only be known if they are right or not, and it may be a better choice to let go of that throne." ”
Tang Huang nodded, raised his hand and gently helped him in the air, and Cui Yasi's kneeling body was helped up.
There are many amazing people in Datang, and they may not be indispensable, but all of them are unique.
The three of them met each other, and the words they said added up to not ten sentences, which was a very short conversation for each other who had not seen each other in nearly twenty years.
But none of them spoke again, and they both knew in their hearts that this might be the last meeting, and the world and the heavenly immortals would eventually have to divide a winner or loser, and now the world really has the strength to compete with the heavens?
No one knows it in their hearts, so let's take this meeting as the last time and enjoy the last silence.
The wind on the stargazing platform kept blowing, and the three of them stood side by side at the front, looking at the vast land under their feet.
Day and night alternate, and the disappearance of the day brings with it the rise of the night.
Maybe it's because it's really close to spring, and the sky at night is full of stars, which is much denser than the bleakness of winter.
The only fly in the ointment is that tonight's moon is not a full moon, but only a half moon, that is, a waning moon.
Parting is always full of regrets, if you look at it from another angle, this waning moon may not be a fly in the ointment, but just the right finishing touch.
"It's time for me to go. ”
There were no birds and insects in the silent night, and the first words of the Tang Emperor, who had been silent for a long time, were very straightforward.
He's leaving, where is he going?
Nature is heavenly.
Li Anzhi said: "There are a lot of people in Huaiyuguan, it doesn't matter if you go or not, you can only contain it for a year or two at most, and you can't become more." ”
Cui Yasi nodded, that's the truth.
Tang Huang said: "My strength is very strong, and I can delay it for a few more days if I go up." ”
What is the difference between three days and five days in the long river of time?
It's a short time, and it's not a huge loss for anyone.
But if you really focus on this, you will find that the difference between the three days and the five days is actually very simple and straightforward.
That's the difference they have.
The third day is two days less than the fiveth.
Five days is two days longer than three.
"Don't see the prince?"
Cui Yasi asked.
Tang Huang's body slowly rose into the air, his feet off the ground, and he didn't speak.
Li Xianyi has already entered Chang'an City, so it is naturally time for him to leave.
Li Anzhi raised his hand and grabbed Tang Huang's sleeve.
Tang Huang's pupils shrank a little, when the four of them broke through together, they also experienced many accidents on the way, once he wanted to leave alone to lure the enemy away, that year Li Laizhi raised his hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
It's like Ang Lee has stretched out his hand now.
Emperor Tang's eyes were slightly red, and he immediately fell down and hugged Li Anzhi.
Tears flowed from Ang Lee's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't die. ”
Tang Huang did not speak, because he was afraid that once he spoke, he would show a trill.
The two retreated from each other, a dragon roar sounded over Chang'an City, and Emperor Tang's body disappeared on the stargazing platform.
