Chapter 36: A Farewell
Teng Xiu left Jianchu Temple, and the Wuqian army also returned to the garrison because of a holy decree. There is no bustle to see, and the crowd of onlookers will naturally disperse.
Immediately, the door of Jianchu Temple was closed, and Zhou Cheng glanced at it from a distance, and then left in the crowd.
After Teng Xiu left Jianchu Temple, he did not return to his mansion, but went straight to the queen's bedroom.
As soon as he entered the queen's bedroom, Teng Xiu felt that the atmosphere in the palace today was different from the past, and those palace servants looked a little absent-minded, and their faces were sad and difficult to hide.
"Stop, what's going on in the palace?" Teng Xiu hadn't even walked into the hall, so he called a palace maid outside the hall to ask.
"The maid has seen Uncle Guo...."The palace maid is a close attendant of Queen Teng, and she is no stranger to Teng Xiu, so she immediately greeted her.
"There are rumors today that His Majesty wants to abolish the throne of the Queen, but fortunately the Queen Mother stopped it, and His Majesty gave up, but.... But...," the maid whispered, a little worried and a little resigned.
Teng Xiu's face changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "But what?"
"But Your Majesty has also given three other concubines and queen seals..."The maid lowered her head, and her voice became quieter and quieter.
"Got it, go down. Teng Xiu waved his hand, turned around and walked into Empress Teng's bedroom.
In the dormitory, Empress Teng stood quietly in front of a wall, and on the wall hung a picture scroll, which was not a beast immortal, nor a landscape landscape, but a map of mountains and rivers.
"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings.... Now this rain is about to be sprinkled all over the world..."Before Teng Xiu approached, he heard Queen Teng's low and tactful voice.
"Sister, don't worry, as long as your brother doesn't die one day, you will be the only queen of Wu Kingdom!" Teng Xiu stepped lightly, his words soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing his sister.
"What does it matter if this queen does it or not? I just want the family to be safe, and now it seems that it is also an extravagant .....hope," Queen Teng turned to look at Teng Xiu, with a helpless smile on her face.
"I already know the root cause of the Wu Kingdom, and this person is undoubtedly dim. Teng Xiu approached Empress Teng and directly said Cen Du's name.
Empress Teng thought for a moment when she heard this, and then said quietly: "Huang Hao of Shu, Wu has Cen Dusk, together it is the word dusk..... Is this really a number of days?"
"The so-called days are nothing but invisible shackles imposed on the weak. Even if it is the number of days, I will also fight for my sister!" Teng Xiu's cultivation of the Nine Transformation Yuan Gong, he only believes in his own strength, there is no fate in his heart, even if there is that, it can be broken.
Empress Teng looked at her younger brother, stretched out her hand to trim Teng's clothes, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face. It seems that whenever I see my younger brother, no matter how much worry I have, I can be forgotten.
"Sister just wants to see you safe, let's not fight..."Queen Teng lost the momentum of the past mother's world, as if she had seen a lot of things.
Teng Xiu didn't reply, he was used to responding to Empress Teng's requests, although he was Empress Teng's nominal younger brother, but since he was a child, Teng Xiu was actually more like a brother, and he never said a word of refusal to Empress Teng.
This time, Teng Xiu also didn't say the word 'no', he just bowed to Queen Teng, and then turned around and left the queen's bedroom.
Soon, the entire Wu Kingdom was full of rumors that Sun Hao wanted to abolish the queen, and at the same time, the matter of him wantonly giving the queen seal to the concubine also spread. However, in the fierce opposition of the Empress Dowager and the Manchu Dynasty, Empress Teng's position as queen was still retained, but her relationship with Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, was becoming more and more estranged.
It seems that because of the obstruction of the ministers, Sun Hao has become more mediocre and tyrannical, and he has a feeling of breaking the jar. At the same time, Cen Du, the middle servant, was more and more reused by Sun Hao, and many ridiculous decrees were constantly promulgated, and more and more people associated Cen Du with Huang Hao of the former Shu Kingdom.
And once the people who have a heart compare these two people, they will find that these two people who have no intersection have surprisingly similar life trajectories, and then many people suddenly discovered that now Wu is also walking the old path of Shu back then.
The same monarch is stupid, there are ministers in charge, the general is leading the troops outside, and the important ministers in the court are scattered, and for a while, many high-level magnates in Wu have different thoughts.
The state of Wu is getting weaker and weaker, but the state of Jin is in full swing, and the land of Guanzhong has been vigorously developed after years of recuperation, and the state of Jin has gradually appeared some prosperous weather.
At this time, Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty appointed the general Yanghu as the governor of Jingzhou under the suggestion of the Taiyuan Wang's 'Jingling Gong Wang Hun', and made preparations for the attack on Wu in the Xiangyang area, and appointed Wang Jun, a Hongnong, as the assassin of Yizhou, and built warships to train the navy in the land of Bashu in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and also made preparations for attacking Wu.
Wang Hun is the contemporary leader of the Taiyuan Wang family, and this person is recognized as a peerless adviser to Jia Xu and Cheng Yu. It is precisely because of this person that the Taiyuan Wang clan at this time is more prominent than the Langya Wang clan.
And what is even more coincidental is that the Langya Wang family also has a Wang Hun, who is the father of Wang Rong, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest.
In this way, there is Wang Hun in the Jin Dynasty as the overall plan, and there is Wang Jun as the general outside, and a battle to destroy Wu is about to kick off.
Even at this time, Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, was still addicted to wine, waiting to live in the soon-to-be-built Zhaoming Palace, and all day long he was drunk with Cen faint, and the signs of the death of the country were undoubtedly revealed!
This mountain rain is about to come, and even affected the lives of ordinary people, and a large number of people on the Yangtze River moved south, or went to relatives and friends, or temporarily avoided the beacon fire.
However, only the Jianchu Temple in Jianye City is still flourishing with incense, and believers and pilgrims are endless, and the incense that envelops the temple every day is not dispersed.
It seems that troubled times are coming, and helpless ordinary people can only rely on these ethereal beliefs in fear.
Time passed in a hurry, and soon it was the day when the Zhaoming Palace was completed, this huge palace complex almost exhausted all the wealth and potential of the Wu Kingdom, and the entire Zhaoming Palace construction process was only half a year.
It can be said that in just half a year, a country has reached the brink of desperation.
Just when Sun Haozhi moved into Zhaoming Palace with great satisfaction, a will that made the entire Wu Kingdom incomprehensible also came out of Sun Hao's hands.
No one knows what Sun Hao thinks, he actually issued an order at this time to recall the steps of the family who have guarded Xiling for generations to Jianye.
Bu Yan suddenly received the will, and he panicked for a while, and Sun Hao was now moody, and the courtiers had already separated from him. Bu Yan was worried that Sun Hao would not be good for him, so he secretly contacted the Jin State and wanted to raise Xiling City to surrender to Jin.
When Bu Yan's book appeared in Luoyang, Sima Yan and Wang Hun both realized that the time had come to destroy Wu.
Immediately, Wang Hun went out of Luoyang in person, and joined with Sima Ling, the king of Langya, Du Pre, Hu Fen and others, as well as Wang Rong, who had been promoted to the general of Jianwei, with a total of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from all roads, and went south, wanting to sweep away Dongwu in one fell swoop.
And this time, Wang Rong led an army alone, and even brought his cousin Wang Yan, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
Wang Hun went south, and Wang Jun, who was far away in the land of Bashu, also went down the Yangtze River at the same time, pointing directly to Jianping, an important town in Eastern Wu.
However, at this moment, a news that caught Wu Guo off guard reached Jianye. In the Jiaozhi area of Guangzhou, in the south of Wu State, a general named Guo Ma rebelled, and for a time Eastern Wu was embattled.
In desperation, Sun Hao had to let Teng Xiu regain his position as pastor of Guangzhou and lead the troops to fight the rebellion.
In the Queen's Palace, Teng Xiu was dressed in military uniform and was saying goodbye to Queen Teng.
"Sister, you put away the Fuxi Water Mirror, no matter what happens with this thing, I will be able to find you again in the future. Teng Xiu put the Fuxi Water Mirror in Empress Teng's hand, and instructed with an unusually solemn expression.
"This is your companion, and it will be of great use to stay with you. As long as there is you, even if the Wu State is defeated, Emperor Jin will not embarrass his sister. Empress Teng pushed the Fuxi Water Mirror and wanted to return it to Teng Xiu.
I don't know why? It was supposed to be just a brief separation, but Empress Teng actually had the feeling of saying goodbye for the last time.
It seems that this farewell is goodbye!
"I've relied on my sister for everything all my life, can you rely on me once this time?" Teng Xiu rejected Empress Teng for the first time, and directly bent Empress Teng's fingers lightly and asked her to hold the Fuxi Water Mirror.
Empress Teng is also a strong woman, but at this moment she actually has a feeling that she wants to cry, maybe she doesn't want to see her sister cry, Teng Xiu gently patted Empress Teng's hand holding the Fuxi water mirror, and then resolutely turned around.
"My Yuan Gong has been cultivated to the eighth turn, and I am only one of the last turns.... When I come back from the ninth turn, no matter where you are, I will find you!"
Empress Teng held the Fuxi Water Mirror tightly, looked at Teng Xiu's back as he gradually moved away, and Teng Xiu's voice sounded in her ears.
