The rivers and lakes laugh, love to be free, piano or Xiao, wine to pour, vertical and horizontal, looking up to the sky and laughing, chic like the wind, fluttering like a fairy. Chivalrous and gracious, children and daughters, the paradise that every hot-blooded man yearns for in his heart, but the real rivers and lakes are full of calculations, swords and swords laugh in the conspiracies, and blood rains are raised, which is just the fate of a warrior.

Zhuge Zheng and I quietly returned to Cining Palace, and when I saw the Empress Dowager Gao again, he looked a lot stricter, "Empress Dowager, I have a participation." As he spoke, he slipped out of his sleeve and held it up and handed it over.

The Empress Dowager Gao's eyes flashed violently, she took out the fold and looked at it, and after a while, she handed it back to Zhuge Zhengme, "Finally, I still can't help it." ”

Zhuge Zheng didn't answer, he knew that there were some things that he couldn't manage, especially when it came to the royal family. The Empress Dowager Gao obviously also understood that Zhuge Zheng and I would not express an opinion in this regard, so she sighed and said, "I thought that if Xu'er really went down, then it would be okay for Ji'er to ascend to the throne, after all, they have always been the descendants of the Great Song Zhao family, and no matter how much they fight, it is just a family matter." ”

Zhuge Zheng said, "The Great Song Zhao family has no family affairs, it is a state affair." The Empress Dowager Gao smiled and laughed at herself, "When people are old, they are always a little nostalgic, after all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat." Zhuge , have you mastered everything about that woman?"

Zhuge Zheng and I immediately spoke, "Back to the Empress Dowager's words, Xiang Guifei's movements have long been understood, including the officials and ministers she contacted, and they have been recorded one by one. Among them, the most important is the close proximity of the city guard Wang Dang, and the support of Gao Shengtai of the Gao clan in Dali. ”

"The younger brother of this palace is really a good means, but it's a pity that his ambition is too big, and in the end he still got there. Empress Dowager Gao shook her head and said nothing, and the whole room suddenly fell silent. After a long while, she came back to her senses and said, "Zhuge is me, can you control the 800,000 forbidden army at any time?"

Zhuge Zheng thought about it. "The 800,000 forbidden troops are scattered all over the place, and it will take some time to gather them. However, the 100,000 forbidden military ministers in the imperial city can still be mobilized at any time, and it is completely effortless to suppress those traitors. The Empress Dowager, the ministers have already grasped the evidence that they are about to rebel, and now they want to catch them all. ”

"No, let them go. It's better to be reversed, it's better to be reversed. Gao muttered to herself, not the slightest bit worried. Zhuge Zheng was in a hurry, "But the Queen Mother, in this way, the entire Beijing will face a big chaos." It wasn't a few people who died. ”

"Zhuge , just now the mourning family is still blaming himself for being old, and his heart has become a little soft. But Zhuge ah, you seem to be less courageous, don't you understand why this palace is doing this?" Gao's gaze swept over, and her momentum was amazing.

Zhuge Zheng was also frightened as a congenital being, obviously without a trace of internal qi, but the other party was still strong under the pressure of the luck of the royal family. is worthy of being a woman who supports half the sky of the Great Song Dynasty, if the Empress Dowager Gao is a man. If you think about it, the Great Song Dynasty must be extremely strong.

The minister understood, but he couldn't bear it. "Zhuge Zheng, of course, I understand that coups have always had to pay a price, and only blood can forge imperial power. It seems that the Empress Dowager wants to pave the way for those who come after her.

The Empress Dowager of the Gao family shook her head and ordered, "Zhuge , what if you say that the mourning family made a mistake?" Zhuge was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the Empress Dowager Gao to think of this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Zhao Jiyue, after all, is still too kind. Why is there only one female emperor in history, Wu Zetian. It's not that no one wants to continue, it's that politics is always a man's right. Ji Yue wants to be on the throne, not to mention whether she is willing or not, just if she is willing, she may have to go a long way. The Empress Dowager Gao was a little helpless, she said that she was also a person in the end, and she would still be tired if she was a human being.

Zhuge was listening quietly, he didn't know what to say. I only heard Gao continue, "There are too many descendants of the Zhao family, but why is there not a real man among so many people." The throne, looking at the brilliance, is actually really tired. Do you know why I didn't let you kill them?"

"I don't dare to guess. Zhuge Zheng replied respectfully, "There's nothing I dare not guess, just tell you that you are defenseless." Although the mourning family believes in Lord Zhu's future fate, it is still too illusory after all. He said that Ji Yue was a variable, and he was supposed to die, but he suddenly came alive, but it was only because of the fate brought by a martial artist named Pan Dao. Moreover, Ji Yue also has the power of the true phoenix, which is the same ability to influence the government as the mourning family, and it may also achieve the fate of the empress. You say, 'What should the mourning family do?'

Zhuge Zheng thought about it for a while, and said for a long time, "Maybe it's just a coincidence, the theory of fate, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you won't have it." The Empress Dowager doesn't have to think too much. "If you are right, you will believe, and if you do not believe, you will not. Therefore, there are no killers in this palace except for Xiang Guifei, if Ji'er can really sit on the throne, then it doesn't matter, it should be a tempering for Jiyue. Zhuge , if Ji Yue really has no fate, then let her be an ordinary person. Her eyes stared at Zhuge Zhengme, and a divine light pressed in, revealing endless might.

"The minister will definitely protect the princess. Zhuge Zheng and I immediately knelt down, and he made a promise. The Empress Dowager of the Gao family was full of loneliness, she waved and said, "Zhuge , I can't see the future, you don't have to refute this, you and I both know, let's go to Shaolin for the mourning family." I want to see the void. ”

Zhuge Zheng swallowed directly what I wanted to say just now, "Yes, the minister's decree." The Empress Dowager Gao retreated from Zhuge Zhengme, she saw the empty room, and said into the shadows, "Send a message to the younger brother of the mourning family, from today on, the Gao family in Dali has nothing to do with the palace." In the future, every qiē will be borne by themselves, and at the same time, you first go to the old mansion in the city to spread a message, just say that the palace misses your father, let the children and nephews of the Gao family enter the palace, and the palace wants to meet them. ”

The words fell, a bead curtain was windless and automatic, the Empress Dowager Gao closed her eyes again, she lay quietly, as if all the qiē was so quiet, if this was true, then how good it should be.

Shaolin, the war has ended, but the catastrophe brought to Shaolin is an indelible pain. Sitting in the open space of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he was silent, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and reciting the mantra of rebirth. Sora was not calm, but his mind remembered the memories of a few days ago.

As the abbot, Xuan Ci naturally has a lot of things to do, he first buried the dead disciples of Shaolin and the heroes of the rivers and lakes who came to help, and arranged many disciples to do chores, cleaning, maintenance, and cultivation. Only then did he lead a group of high-ranking monks and Xuzhu of the Xuanzi generation, and took Su Xinghe to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to meet Master Kong.

"Uncle Shi, Xuan Ci is polite. He looked at the empty space sitting cross-legged on the ground, and was very puzzled. Even if you want to transcend, you don't have to look like this, but Xuan Ci didn't ask in the end, he knew that the void must have his own intentions.

His slightly squinted eyes slowly opened, and unlike the original book, he stepped from an unknown sweeping monk to the foreground, completely exposing himself to the world.

"Xuan Ci, you have just ascended to the position of abbot, but after thinking about it for so many years, you should already be familiar with it. Senior brother is relieved of you, then I am also relieved, and the post-disaster reconstruction of Shaolin depends on you. "Likong trusts Xuan Ci very much, either out of respect for his senior brother, or because of his confidence in Xuan Ci over the years.

"Uncle Shi, the disciple will do his best. Xuan Ci didn't dare to say too much, but it could be regarded as a response. He nodded in relief, he looked at the senior monks of the Xuanzi generation and said, "You must do your best to assist Xuanci and restore Shaolin's former reputation." ”

"The disciple obeyed. At this time, he looked at Xuzhu again, and only then did he show a slight smile, "Xuzhu, you are the most promising person in Shaolin, and in the battle of Shaolin just now, you are very good." But after all, you are still too young, you have exposed yourself to the eyes of the world too early, and I am afraid that your tribulations will not be less in the future. ”

"The disciple knows, but the disciple does not regret it. Shaolin monks are not afraid of any challenge, and warriors should move forward bravely. Xuzhu raised his head bravely, without a trace of hesitation.

"Good. Shaolin is naturally confident, just do whatever you want. If something happens, the old monk will bear it for you, but it really can't be done, so naturally there are Shaolin seniors to bear it for you. Likong's tone was firm, and at the same time, his eyes glanced at Su Xinghe, obviously speaking to him. (To be continued......)
