Heaven is the capital, and the earth is God.

Xuandu is high on the first peak in the world, and the unique door enjoys this blessing, which has been thousands of years. Since the Yuqing Daojun counted, until the autumn leaves, there are a total of fifteen generations of masters.

The imperial capital city has gone through three dynasties, the iron imperial capital city, the flowing emperor, there are three dynasties before and after, twenty-two emperors, respectively, two emperors after the construction of the Houjian, the seventeenth emperor of Dazheng, and the three emperors of Daqi.

After some turmoil in the imperial capital, he sent away his twenty-second master, Xiao Bai, and his twenty-first master, Xiao Xuan, finally returned to the imperial capital from Jiangnan.

As the center of the world, the imperial capital city cannot be left without an owner for a day, but before choosing a new owner, the past must be closed. After Yan Wang Xiao was subordinate to the Weiyang Palace court meeting to confess, the cabinet discussed several times and set Xiao Bai's name and temple number, the temple number was not too controversial, it was for Gaozong, but in the name, the ministers had a big difference, and finally Han Xuan made a decision, did not choose the word "Yang" in the lower message, nor did he use the word "pure" in the upper message, but used the word "Su" in a flat statement.

According to the "Explanation of the Law", there are two interpretations of the word "Su", Gangdeke is said to be Su, and the persistent decision is said to be Su, and the latter is taken here, that is, the persistent decision, and the words are strict.

In today's Taimiao, from Emperor Xuanzu Jing Xiao Lin to Emperor Wuzu Chun Xiao Lie, Taizu Gao Emperor Xiao Yu, Taizong Wen Emperor Xiao Xuan, and Gaozongsu Emperor Xiao Bai were added.

All kinds of things happened, it happened that Xiao Zhinan, Xie Suqing, Zhang Baisui and others returned to Beijing with the coffin, and under the leadership of Han Xuan, hundreds of officials came out to greet them.

At this time, it is the late autumn season, I don't know why, since Xiao Bai's catastrophe, the time is fickle, and the late autumn season has begun to fall snowflakes, counting this is the second snow fall in the imperial capital this year, not as majestic as Xiao Bai's catastrophe, it can only be regarded as a fine snow.

This fine snow fell and fell, and the snowflakes silently hung a layer of faint plain white on the ground, on the eaves, on the trees, and on the wall, such as wearing mourning clothes, white and boundless, complementing the white mourning clothes on the hundred officials, and at the same time, white flags were hung everywhere in the imperial capital, reflecting the white snow, which was particularly desolate.

The wind and snow are like obscurity, and the city is full of vegetarian.

In the snow, a convoy slowly approached Zhengyangmen.

All the officials stood in front of Zhengyang Gate, led by Han Xuan.

Han Xuan looked at the huge golden silk nanmu coffin that was carried down from the carriage by sixteen armor soldiers, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

He is an old minister of the three dynasties, is the second assistant of Emperor Taizu, is the first assistant of Emperor Taizong, when he was in the first year of Chengping, he was deposed by the Empress Dowager Niangniang, and returned to his hometown, twenty years later, it was Emperor Taizong who raised him as the second assistant, after the blue jade said goodbye to the old, and then entered the first assistant, I have to say that between him and Emperor Taizong, there is an incense love, this monarch and ministers, this origin, extremely thick, extremely heavy.

After Han Xuan was silent for a moment, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, knelt on the ground with his robe, and said in a deep voice: "Bow, kowtow." ”

"Second bow, prostrate. ”

"Three bows, then kowtow!"

Sixteen armor soldiers carried the coffin forward, and Xiao Zhinan helped the spirit.

Footsteps, kowtows, wind and snow.

After three bows, the hundred officials got up, and Han Xuan came to Xiao Zhinan's side and asked, "Is Your Highness going back to the Princess's Mansion or going to the Imperial City?"

Xiao Zhinan pressed one hand on the coffin and said softly: "Born in Si, go to the imperial city." ”

When Xiao Zhinan Fuling returned to the imperial city, Xu Beiyou was already waiting here.

Behind him are Xiao Yuyi, Xiao Yuanying, Moshu, Chen Zhijin, Zhang Bao, Sun Zhihong and others.

A group of eunuchs and palace maids were also dressed in white, lined up on both sides.

When they saw Xiao Xuan's coffin, sobs rang out, and everyone immediately burst into tears.

Because when Xiao Bai crossed the catastrophe, the Ganquan Palace was seriously damaged, so the coffin of Emperor Taizongwen could only be suspended in the side hall of the Feishuang Palace, and then buried in the Qingling Tomb on Meishan at a later date.

After Xiao Zhinan came out of the Flying Frost Palace, he went to Weiyang Palace, and stood quietly in front of Xiao Bai's coffin for a long time.

Xu Beiyou stood beside Xiao Zhinan and said softly: "Xiao Bai, he left too hastily, his mausoleum has just started to be built, and I am afraid that he will not be able to be buried for a while." ”

Xiao Zhinan said in a low voice: "Xiao Bai has set foot in the realm of the eighteenth floor of the Earth Immortal before his death, and his body is immortal, so he will repair the green landscape left by Mingchen, temporarily stop there, and wait until the court has passed the current difficulties, and then recruit the people and make every effort to repair the mausoleum." ”

Xu Beiyou nodded and said, "That's all it can be." ”

Xiao Zhinan sighed softly, and his face was haggard that could not be concealed.

Xu Beiyou saw the tiredness on his wife's face, and comforted him softly: "I know that you have experienced so many things and feel uncomfortable, but since things have happened, you still have to take care of your body, don't worry too much." ”

Xiao Zhinan suddenly asked, "Do you have any wine?" ”

After Xu Beiyou hesitated slightly, he took out two pots of wine from the sword box and handed a pot to Xiao Zhinan, "I originally planned to keep the snake gall wine left by the master back then, and if you are blessed, I will share a pot with you." ”

Xiao Zhinan took the wine jug, rubbed it gently, and sighed softly: "It's okay to drink it, so as not to see things and think about people." ”

According to the rules, alcohol is not allowed during the funeral, but Xiao Zhinan doesn't want to abide by this rule today, in fact, she rarely drinks on weekdays, but now she has a thousand things to say, and she has a thousand words, and she doesn't know who to listen to, so she can only pay in the wine.

The husband and wife sat on the threshold of Weiyang Palace, looking out at the square under the wind and snow.

Xiao Zhinan slowly turned the wine jug in his hand, and a layer of dim light appeared on the glass wine jug, making the slightly rippling wine reveal a psychedelic meaning.

Xiao Zhinan couldn't help but laugh at himself.

She is now considered a fatherless and motherless orphan?

is the same as his hard-working husband, no father, no brothers, only husband and wife.

Xu Beiyou took a sip of wine, looked at the vast snow curtain and said softly: "I know what you are thinking, this kind of thing, it is not easy to persuade, it should not be persuaded, it should be cried, it should be sad, this kind of thing has never been said not to be sad, but there is one point, you must take care of your body." ”

Xiao Zhinan hummed lightly and took a sip of wine.

Then she looked at the falling snow and said softly: "The heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper, to put it mildly, it is Xiao Bai." I've seen a lot of life and death over the years, but I still have an indescribable feeling in my heart now. ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Xiao Bai may owe something to the court and the world, but for you, he has fulfilled his responsibility as a brother." ”

Xiao Zhinan sighed, "Yes." ”

The husband and wife fell into silence, Xiao Zhinan was stunned, and Xu Beiyou took a sip of wine.

After a long time, Xiao Zhinan spoke: "Thanks to you this time, the Imperial Capital City can be safe and sound, I heard Han Ge Lao say that you chase Fu Zhongtian first, and then kill Xiao Lin, are you okay?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said: "It's okay, Fu Zhongtian is a fancy guy, so I can't help it, as for Xiao Shen, it is indeed very tricky, but there is a big array in the imperial city, and he hasn't made any big waves." ”

Xiao Zhinan snorted.

Unconsciously, a pot of wine was drunk, and Xiao Zhinan remembered many past events.

There were four people in the family back then, and two people in the family today.

Changed.

Xiao Zhinan put down the wine jug in his hand, walked down the steps under Xu Beiyou's gaze, walked into the wind and snow, pressed the snow on his shoulders, and muttered softly.
