Jing Shi Fu
Fanghua complained: Fireworks are easy to be cold. For whom did he bow down
? He was a prince who was not favored for 17 years, and an emperor who was alone in power for 27 years, but he was only my husband for a few months.
I am the general’s legitimate daughter, your queen, once pregnant, the whole country celebrate. Instead,
I invited Miao to go to the state to kill the enemy.
I let him think about it for the rest of his life, and when he dies, his mouth is full of loneliness
that he can’t spit out.
The empress was the legitimate daughter of General Song and learned martial arts at an early age. Although he is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing with swords, spears, swords and halberds is one of the best scenes. He went to war with his father at the age of
eight and took the enemy’s head for the first time at the age of twelve.
But valiant and heroic as she is to find a man to marry after all, general song is a headache for her marriage.
What kind of man can bring down a woman like her?
At least it must be a hero among people, and I’m afraid she doesn’t like it at all. It is better
to know your daughter than your father. What
she likes is not only a hero, but also above ten thousand people.
They fell in love at first sight on the autumn hunt. The deer that had escaped
from her arrow by a tiny margin was hit by him, and she turned around to see him, who had just ascended the throne at a young age and was in high spirits.
Her eyes reflected his handsome figure, and the forthright woman lost her voice for the first time.
At that time, the court was playing the country without the queen of the palace.
He looked at her, too, and suddenly felt that no one was more suitable than her.
Since she was speechless, he opened his mouth first.
“As a woman with such skill, she must be the daughter of General Song.”
She blushed in surprise.
His smile is deeper, and the sunshine is just right. The story of the two of
them seems to have started at that glance.
If there is fate, everything will come naturally.
He gave her the throne, gave her exclusive favor, and every day the Phoenix Palace would be filled with things he sent. But he knew she didn’t want it.
So he gave her the right to see him without saluting.
He said, “You and I are not monarchs and ministers, but husband and wife. Why should we salute each other when we meet?”
He said, “The emperor must put all the people in the world first.”. But perhaps I am not a good king. I always want to take care of all the people in the world and you.
…… Since the
emperor became independent, he has been doting on the empress, even to the point where he only wished he could pick the moon for the empress with his bare hands.
The queen said, “What is the use of the moon?”? I don’t want the moon.
The emperor said, “I will try my best to give you whatever I want.”
The empress said, “My concubine wants to go to Xizhou to kill the enemy.”
The emperor was silent for a long time. He looked at the queen in disbelief for a long time. Then he said,
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
At that time, Xizhou repeatedly invaded the border, and the general guarding the border was wounded. He was afraid that the group would be leaderless, so he reported to the court that he would go to Xizhou.
The queen knelt down on one knee and folded her fists, as if she were dressed in battle armor.
My concubine went to war with her father when she was young, and she knew the environment of Xizhou best. This time if the emperor’s personal expedition, no one in the court, will be chaos. My concubine is the queen of Dajing, and she is also a subject of Dajing, and she asks the emperor for permission.
The Song family fought outside all the year round, and every word the queen said was true. Her father is still in the north, and her eldest brother was wounded a while ago.
The emperor usually kills decisively, he must know that the queen’s proposal is the best plan at the moment.
But he hesitated.
He hesitated because he didn’t want her to take the risk.
Baiguan also hesitated. In the final analysis, she is the queen and the mother of a country. Only emperors have ever died. If the empress of Jing Dynasty went to war, wouldn’t it be a joke for the neighboring countries? While
he was struggling to make a decision, she knelt down on her knees, buried her head between her arms, and threw herself on the floor, saying, “Your Majesty, please play!”
As if he had made up his mind. On the day
the empress went to war, the emperor stood at the gate of Changle City to see her off.
He gave the queen a heavy kiss on the forehead and whispered, “I’ll be back safe.”
The queen looked at him reluctantly, then refused to whip and walked away.
Xizhou people are very good at riding and shooting. Even if
the queen has great ability, one blade can’t stop ten thousand arrows. What’s more, she is a general, is the target of the enemy.
She had all the time in the world to concentrate, but only one mistake. It happened to be that mistake that made the enemy see the right time, and a long arrow came straight to her chest. Startled,
she jerked her horse out of the way, and the long arrow avoided the vital point, but penetrated her legs.
It hurts. It hurts.
She nearly fainted from the pain. She whispered his name when it
was about to get dark.
“Chin Rang..”
As if far away, she fell into a familiar embrace. The smell of
blood assailed his nostrils, and he smelled a familiar sandalwood fragrance, which was the smell of his body. When
she woke up leisurely, she was already in the military tent. He was lying quietly beside her, asleep, but his hand was clinging to hers.
She moved a little and he woke up with a start.
He found her eyes, found her awake, and immediately could not wait to hold her tightly in his arms. She could not move, sandalwood lingered on the tip of her nose, and his heartbeat jumped out of her chest on her chest. It’s
all my fault, it’s all my fault.. I shouldn’t have let you come.
He took her hand and beat himself with a hammer.
“Life, you blame me.” “I don’t blame you,” she said
, weak as she
was.
His voice was suddenly sour.
“I’m so scared.”. I hate myself.
“That wound is so long.”
She let him hold her in a daze. It’s not a fatal wound. It’s so far away from the vital point. He must know. But
he said to himself, “I have tried my best to come, but I can’t save you in time.”. If that arrow, if that arrow..
He could not go on at this point. Tidy up and then open your mouth is choking.
If anything happens to you.. I’m afraid I’ll go mad.
That day, he held her hand tightly and said to her solemnly, “You will stay in the palace well in the future. You are only the queen of Dajing and my wife. We will be fine, okay?” In
the court, the queen’s brother, General Song, temporarily took charge of the situation. In the battle of Xizhou, the emperor personally took command, and the soldiers were overwhelming. For half a month, they sent news of victory to the court one after another, and went straight into the capital of Xizhou. The king
of Xizhou was drinking at that time, not knowing that the Jing army had captured the city gate. If
the king wakes up in a drunken dream, it is the people who will suffer. During the peace talks, the king
of Xizhou promised the emperor all the conditions, one of which was that Xizhou should not invade the territory and should live in peace with Jingchao for fifteen years, and should pay tribute every year. In addition, the king of Xizhou also wrote that he would like to marry the third princess of Xizhou and the emperor of Jingchao in order to consolidate the relationship between the two neighbors.
The emperor thought for a moment and said, “Well, when the princess marries, she will be given the title of Zhaoyi, and the title will be Jing, and the rule will be peaceful, so that our two countries will be rich and the people will be peaceful.” The imperial edic
t conferring the title of Jing Zhaoyi returned to the capital together with the last letter of victory. She was the only one in
his harem for so long that she almost forgot that he was a king. The love of the
king, Ze by the common people, the harem to come to the new is not surprising. This day will come, and if it’s not Corna in Texas, it will be Nina in North Texas or Vana in East Texas. She was very open-minded, but on the carriage back to Beijing, she was silent all the way. Perhaps it was a dull pain in her leg, or perhaps it was something else, and she always felt that her heart was blocked.
He tried to call her, “Sheng Sheng.”
She looked out of the window, thinking.
He repeated, “Born?”
She still looked out of the window as if she had not heard. Just as
he was about to reach out to shake her hand, he heard her dull voice. “Princess Kona is a beauty.”
He was stunned. Then he pulled her into his arms, stroked her back and sighed. “It’s all expedient,” he said in a low voice. “Don’t blame me.”
She wondered why there was any need to complain? She is the queen of Dajing, the mother of a country, and never needs to care about these trifles.
But when the words come to the mouth, the nose suddenly becomes sour. She put up with it, but the choking in her throat still didn’t deceive anyone. “I don’t blame you.”. I just thought it would be better if you hadn’t come to Texas. On the third day after
the emperors and empresses returned to Beijing, Jing Zhaoyi’s conferring ceremony was held at the Empress’s Fengluan Palace. When
Jing Zhaoyi knelt down to worship her, her back was straight and her expression was not sad or happy. When
the ceremony was completed, she was exhausted. Just as she was about to go back to her bedroom to take off her phoenix crown, she heard Jing Zhaoyi say in the main hall behind her, I know that the king of Dajing will be a valiant hero, but I don’t know that so will you, Empress. It is a great blessing to have such a king and a queen like you. I don’t know if she listened to her
back.
She’s still his pet. There is a Jing Zhaoyi in the harem, but it seems that they only exist in the topic when they are alone.
Most of them were put forward by her, and what she said was nothing but vinegar.
She would say, “Why are you here today?”
He would say with a straight face, “Come and see you and leave.” As he had expected,
she became angry. “To whom?”? Jing Zhaoyi? It’s all right to look for her. She’s beautiful, and the prince must be beautiful, too. Beautiful and pleasant. That’s very good. As soon as
he closed the palace door, he found her waist and touched her breath. “In this way, your child and I will be more beautiful.” Her
breathing was all out of order, and she turned away with a red face. “Stop it!” But
he took advantage of the opportunity to kiss it and said, “Come on, give me a prince.” In
his first year on the throne, she became pregnant, and the whole country celebrated.
She is very happy.
He stood up and sat down beside her. He couldn’t believe it, but he exulted and asked the doctor, “Is it a happy pulse?”? Am I going to have a child?
The imperial physician fell to the ground, “It’s absolutely true!”! Congratulations to the emperor and to the empress!
She looked at him and thought he was cute. She spent the
first half of her life on the battlefield with horses, but after marrying him, she thought it might be good if she only accompanied him as he wished. The ten months during which
she was pregnant were a rare happy time in her life. He would come to see her when he was
free, to see her and his children.
He liked to put his head in front of her belly and listen, and then he said to her with an excited look on his face, “It’s moving, it’s moving!”! The emperor kicked me just now. Did you feel it?
He would stand in the hall and wander for a long time, struggling with the question of naming the emperor’s son. Very not easy to have a clue, and began to struggle to give what title is the style.
She looked at him with an unconscious smile.
He ascended the throne at the age of 17. Although he was young, he was famous for his decisive action and had the dignity and boldness of an emperor. As soon as he ascended the throne, he went on a personal expedition to settle Xizhou. Such a high-spirited young man is bound to be an eternal emperor who is sung by the world.
Such a person, at the moment in front of her is only like a child, with the bewilderment and ecstasy of a new father.
He asked her, “Do you want a princess or a prince?”
She thought for a moment and answered with a smile, “The prince and the princess are all right.”
He suddenly clasped his palms together in a pious gesture and said, “Then I will make a vow to let a lucky person give birth to a pair of twins for me.”
She had never thought that the happy time could be so fast. By the time
she reacted, the time had gone without a trace, and the rest of the way was full of pain. On the day
she gave birth, although it was her first child, it went smoothly. “The old slave has never seen a master like the empress,” said
the midwife. The birth went so smoothly, the pain was so great that there was no noise.
She pulled the corners of her mouth slightly. If
she is the same as those weak willow Fufeng women, these years are also white on the battlefield to fight in all directions. She
gave birth to a prince.
She thought he would come to visit her, but after waiting for a long time, he didn’t come.
She was so tired that she had to close her eyes, but the person who came was Jing Zhaoyi.
Jing Zhaoyi brought a lot of food when she came. Everything is available, but it is rare in the Central Plains. It should be brought from her hometown, Xizhou. “Thank you very much, Jing Zhaoyi,”
she said.
Jing Zhaoyi looked at her and said, “He didn’t come to see you. I came to see you.”
She turned her head and stared at her.
He won’t come to see you? What does that mean?
It was as if she had held her breath and opened the gate of discouragement, and her voice had lost some of its strength. “How do you know?”
Jing Zhaoyi smiled helplessly, “Because like my father, he is a heartless man.”. Do you know what he is doing at this moment? He is busy with the conferment of his new concubine.
Her head was so confused that she had a ringing in her ears.
Jing Zhaoyi saluted and said, “What we bring to the empress is what the women of Xizhou need in the month of confinement. If the empress trusts my concubine, she will eat according to my concubine’s instructions.”. If you don’t believe it, don’t throw it away. They are all very precious things. The empress can send all of them back to the palace of my concubines. I beg to retire.
Your concubine was sent to the palace by a grand master.
Not only the imperial concubine, the ministers in the court have sent their own beautiful girls to the palace, a total of eight, the book’s position is different, but the imperial concubine’s position is the highest. Before
she was out of confinement, she was dressed in beautiful clothes, wore a phoenix crown, and received the kneeling ceremony of the eight concubines.
She was really suffering. It
has nothing to do with weakness.
Your concubine is indeed the most outstanding. Appearance or deportment. Jing Zhaoyi is already beautiful and moving enough, but the beauty of the imperial concubine is not inferior to her, a living Jiangnan beauty. The daughter of
a grand master, a famous family, is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
She suddenly felt that they, the emperor and the imperial concubine, were a perfect match.
When the imperial concubines left the palace, she closed her eyes and rested, her thoughts drifting. The
last time I saw him, it seemed that almost two months had passed. She remembered all the clothes he wore
that time. It was a dark blue palace robe, which made him look slender and tall. She remembered every word
he said.
He said he finally thought of the name for the emperor, if the prince, then called Qin Yan; if the princess, then called Qin Wan. He gave her a kiss on the forehead before he
left.
They are so good.
She couldn’t figure out why it had developed like this, and he didn’t even appear on the day she gave birth to the prince.
He promised that he would be by her side, but he broke his promise.
Female generals are arrogant in their hearts. She led the soldiers to be invincible on the battlefield, which created her character of refusing to bow easily. If
he snubs her without telling the reason, she will never bow her head.
She asked someone to find the wooden sword, and she asked someone to bring the stake. There are pear blossoms falling in front of the
court. She was dressed in red, her sword was fierce, and her figure was soft but powerful.
I do not know how long, she is finally a little soft, a loose wrist let the sword fall, he stood with a sense of loss. Look at
each other but not have a blind date. There is no such torment in the
world.
She is a queen, and she wants to be a mother in the world. If she is trapped by love, she will be laughed at. She sighed at the
thought.
Her love for Song Jingsheng has always been as sincere and warm as her favorite red, as well as her charm in the battlefield.
If only he were not the emperor, she would marry him as a normal couple, and she would be close to him if she wanted to be close to him. He would not have the daughter of a grand master to be his concubine. If he had, she would shoot like a dragon, scaring the woman so that she would not dare to approach him.
If only he wasn’t.
She thought so and turned slowly.
Facing the fallen flowers, she walked step by step to the inner hall.
Suddenly there was a sound of running in the distance. From far to near, she jerked back, and a tall figure almost crashed into her arms. It
‘s the smell of sandalwood. When
she smelled the sandalwood, her eyes immediately moistened and her heart beat very fast.
The embrace was so strong that it seemed to rub her into her bones and blood.
She was speechless, and the image of him pouncing on her was like the moment when the husband returned home from the war, and the couple hugged each other in front of their yard.
He whispered in her ear, “Oh, I’m too late.”
She had a lot of questions, but at this moment she felt that they seemed to have lost their meaning.
So she did not speak, but hugged him very tightly, and then shed tears. A pike pierced her leg and abdomen, and she only snorted, but at this time she shed tears. How should
she tell it?
Thinking of you is like a bright candle, frying the heart and holding tears. “I miss you so much these days,”
he said, rubbing her an inch deeper into his arms.
She had never thought that she could be so unworthy in love. As long as
he hugged her and said something nice, she could not care about anything.
When they returned to the inner hall, Mammy brought the big prince, who was sleeping soundly in swaddling clothes. He leaned over to look at the big prince’s sleeping face and took the child with great care. He had never held a child before, and his posture was so strange, but his face was full of emotion. “This is my first child,”
he said. Yan’er’s eyebrows and eyes are very much like yours.
He looked up at her with deep feeling in his eyes. “You’ve worked hard.”
She raised the corners of her mouth and said wittily, “It’s really a little harder than I imagined.”
At this point, she suddenly felt sad for no reason. Her eyes darkened for a moment, and then she tried to light up again. “I don’t know where Yan’er’s father has gone,” she said. “Even if Yan’er wants to see him, she can’t see him at first sight. Tell him to wait.” How clever
she is, but she won’t let go of her pride.
She’s saying, I waited for you for a long time.
He looked at her and did not speak. His eyes were full of mixed emotions, heartache and self-reproach, and they were glittering. “Why do you cry when you should be happy?”
She asked with a smile. Silently,
he held the big prince to Mammy and grabbed her warm hand. “It’s my fault.”. The past few months have been turbulent and the situation has been frequent. I’m really in trouble..
She interrupted, “I know that you are a wise king, and you must first bring peace to the country and the people.”
He looked at her deeply for a moment and then said, “Good.”
He had dinner with her at the Fengluan Palace, and then fell on her knee and chatted for a long time. The sky was already as dark as ink, so he set off back to the Qianyuan Palace to deal with government affairs.
She walked him all the way to the door, reluctant to leave. Before he
got into the sedan chair, he suddenly turned around and looked at her as if he had something to say. “What’s wrong?”
She asked.
He hesitated to speak. She looked at him with a smile in the
evening breeze. He looked at her for a long time and then said,
“Have you heard any rumors these days?”
She froze.
Rumors?
His new beauties had all been conferred on her, and it was not a rumor. In this way, she answered truthfully, “No.” As if relieved,
he took her hand solemnly and said, “That’s all right.”. No matter what you hear afterwards, just ignore it. What he said
that day had no beginning or end, but she didn’t take it to heart. He had his affairs to attend to, and she found herself some fun to do. In addition to practicing swordsmanship, she also wrote home letters and sometimes visited her son. In
no more than twenty days, General Song will send a reply.
The replies were long and short, and the handwriting was very careful. Left and right are nothing but “How are things going with Ching-sheng?” “How has the emperor treated you?” “How is Yan-er?” Something to ask after your health.
The letters were warm, and she kept them one by one.
But it’s not all about asking after one’s health. In a letter home, General Song wrote a line of small characters.
I know that the emperor has an empress in his heart, and the empress treats the emperor sincerely. It is a great blessing for the emperor and the empress to be of the same mind. But the emperor’s position is high, and the minister must tell the empress that she cannot regard her true heart as the whole.
She looked at the line of words and saved it, but there was some silence that night.
Dad was right, and she knew it.
She’s the queen. The position of
queen is also high. If the
sincerity can be counted as a chip, it is also the lightest one.
The pear blossoms have fallen and the cicadas are chirping.
A month has passed in a hurry, and it seems that midsummer is coming.
Jing Zhaoyi sometimes came to her Fengluan Palace to chat with her. Jing Zhaoyi sent her the kindness of the state tonic, she has always remembered in her heart, the relationship between the two of them will be a lot closer between the invisible.
She practiced martial arts and took care of the big prince. Watching the big prince grow up, she felt full in her heart.
It’s just that the last letter she sent home hasn’t been answered for almost two months. General
Song has been guarding the north desert all the year round. Maybe he has encountered something busy and delayed, so don’t worry too much. With
this in mind, she continued to practice her sword. Although it was hot weather, she was not afraid of the scorching sun, and the wooden sword was replaced by a real knife and gun. It was at this time that the
female officer rushed into the courtyard. “What’s the matter with you? You’re acting rashly.”
She kept concentrating on the stake.
The female officer ran all the way too fast, but when she stopped in front of her, she didn’t even have time to catch her breath. Out of breath, she said, “It’s no good, Empress. The Empress’s eldest brother has sent a message that the emperor has removed General Song from his post, and is now sending someone to the northern desert to escort General Song to the capital.”
Her iron sword fell to the ground with a bang. On the day General
Song was escorted to the capital, the empress, who had not visited the emperor at the Ganyuan Palace for a long time, rushed all the way.
The empress said, “I want to see the emperor.” “Empress,” said
the bodyguard, “Your Majesty is not in the capital at the moment. Please come back.” The
queen’s figure suddenly stopped in place.
Dark clouds covered the scorching sun, and the front of the Ganyuan Palace was gloomy.
The queen suddenly pulled her robe and knelt on her knees.
“What are you doing, empress?”
The empress was kneeling straight, her eyes slightly raised to the plaque of the Qianyuan Palace, and her voice was faint: “This palace is kneeling here, waiting for the emperor to come back.”
……
The queen knelt for nearly an hour. During this period, the guards advised the queen several times, but the queen did not make any response, nor did she get up.
An hour later, the emperor finally appeared. But not from outside the palace, but from inside the Qianyuan Palace. The two of
them faced each other in the distance. The queen did not get up, but looked at the emperor, slowly tears filled her eyes, but her eyes did not blink, let the tears fall big.
The emperor approached her step by step, and his eyes never left the queen. In the
last step, the emperor stood in front of the queen.
The emperor looked down at the queen, both of them were silent, and the time was as long as ever. When
the emperor opened his mouth, his voice was low, hoarse, and tired. “Let’s go to the palace.” In
the Qianyuan Hall, the empress did not sit beside the emperor. She stood in the middle of the hall without saying a word.
The emperor sat down and looked up at the queen.
The emperor’s complexion was very bad, as if he had not slept for a few days, and there was red blood in his eyes. He rubbed his temples, took a deep breath, raised his eyes and said, “I know why you’re here.”
The queen’s lips were slightly curved, and her tone was calm. “Your Majesty is wise.”
The emperor said in a deep voice, “I am extremely tired now.”. The matter of dismissal has not yet issued an edict, after Song Zhongliang went to the capital, I will confront him face to face. Right now, I just want to sleep soundly.
“Good.” The queen answered in a loud voice, and then she knelt down again. She was in the middle of the hall. “Then I knelt down here until the emperor woke up.”
The emperor was stupefied. “You,”
he said, “are the daughter of a guilty minister who is suspected of having committed an unknown crime. She really has no face to stand on the Qianyuan Hall facing the emperor.” The queen’s voice was faint.
The emperor was again silent for a long time. He got up in silence and walked heavily to the queen’s side. He sighed deeply and handed his hand to the queen. “You get up first and sit down and wait. You have a wound on your leg. You can’t stand kneeling like this.” General
Song stationed troops on the border of the northern desert, and all the people in the camp respected and loved him very much and were loyal to him. The north desert environment is not good, often howling wind and sand hurt people, but his sergeant never thought of leaving. The general
holding a large number of troops can also stabilize the morale of the troops, which is a good thing in the eyes of the people, but it is not a complete good thing in the eyes of the officials.
Not to mention the Song family. When
the late emperor was there, he fought in all directions for the great scene, and the Song family was popular among the people.
The empress is pregnant, and the emperor is very happy.
But this also means that the first legitimate son of Dajing is the Song family. If there are loyal ministers in the
court, there will be loyal ministers, which has always been the case. The power of the Song family has come to this point, and there are not a few people who are jealous. Therefore, when the emperor went to court, there were always courtiers who would mention a few words. Inside and outside the words, always alluding to the military camp in the north desert of General Song and the emperor’s son in the belly of the queen.
The emperor didn’t believe it. How loyal
the Song family was to Jing from generation to generation; how much his empress loved him, and he was the only one in her heart and eyes. Powerful ministers in
history may be somewhat disloyal, but the Song family will not.
But he had to admit that he gradually lost the joy he had when he first learned that she was pregnant. When
the grand master proposed to send his daughter to the palace, the emperor thought and did not respond immediately. Then one of the courtiers said, “The emperor’s special favor for the empress is a blessing to the common people, but in the eyes of those who are interested in her, perhaps her daughter is just a tool for her to seize power.”
One remark was very sharp, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
All the officials thought that the courtier would be punished for overstepping his authority, but the emperor was silent at this time.
The emperor stood in front of the Dragon Chair, unable to see the emotions in his eyes.
Just yesterday, he had just named his soon-to-be-born child at the Phoenix Palace.
He said, the prince will be called Qin Yan, the princess will be called Qin Wan.
Yan Wan, beauty also.
Her eyes were full of happiness, and he kissed her on the forehead.
……
His Jingsheng will not be unfaithful.
But she can’t vouch for her mother.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly. “The grand master’s words are very thorough.”. The list of the imperial concubines should be handed over to the palace, and let them enter the palace on an auspicious day.
The grand master nodded. After another pause,
the emperor said, “It’s up to me to decide this matter. There’s no need to report it to the Feng-luan Palace.” Every day
after that, he walked on thin ice.
It was not until the ninth month of the queen’s pregnancy that the spy suddenly came to report that General Song had suddenly gained thousands of people in a military camp in the northern desert.
These thousands of people were not reported to the court in time.
Phoenix Luan palace at this time came the good news, the queen was born, is the prince, mother and son are all right. When the rumors
suddenly rose, the selfish thoughts in his heart were about to engulf him. He hoped that she would give birth to a princess, so that the slander of the Song family in the court would be self-defeating.
But it happened to be a prince.
On that day, he sat in front of the window until dawn, thinking a lot and not sleeping a wink.
The next day he summoned a spy. “You go and keep an eye on Song Zhongliang. I want you to find out where those thousands of people came from.”
The spy soon sent a letter. There are only three lines on the
letter, but clearly explained the north desert border and no frequent war, it is reasonable to say that there is no need to expand the army, but the thousands of military forces are from all walks of life, are long heard of Song Zhongliang daimyo want to compile the skirmishers of the Song camp. When he finished
reading the letter, he pinched the edge of the paper and his fingers were white with force.
The Song family, have the people come to this point?
No, it won’t.
If Song Zhongliang did not publicize the news of the expansion of the army, how could the number of people be hundreds of thousands? Is it
really admiration? Would it be more appropriate to
say that it is a defection?
…… When
the late emperor was alive, he was never the preferred prince. Had it not been for the sudden death of the prince in the palace, he would never have ascended the throne today. Is
the Song family loyal to the Jing Dynasty? Still To the late emperor?
But he is obviously the most hard-working person, and he is more suitable for this position than anyone else. He did not do anything wrong in his life, and should not suffer from the cold face of the late emperor, nor should he feel ashamed of the late emperor and the Song family.
The huge invisible clouds gathered above his head, and he felt cold all over his body. He fell down on the sandalwood chair, and his eyes looked at the sky blankly.
After that, the impeachment of General Song in the court began. The officials’ petition was so aroused that he could not help but say, “Pass on my decree and immediately escort Song Zhongliang back to the capital.”
In fact, when General Song’s motorcade arrived in Beijing, he did not know how to face it. At the end of the day
, he’s just a teenager. When he ascended the throne at a young age, his position was high, and he took care of every piece of government affairs most thoroughly.
Since he ascended the throne, the only time he has no confidence is this time.
So he said to her, “The harem must not interfere in politics, but I will make an exception for you.”. When General Song enters the temple, you can sit by and listen.
She smiled faintly and her expression did not change. General
Song did not wear battle armor when he entered the temple, but wore a plain robe. The general was a little thinner, his beard was slightly slovenly, but the light of his eyes was not as old as his age, but he was in high spirits. General
Song was about to salute when he entered the palace, but he suddenly saw the queen beside him.
The queen hurried forward. “Daughter, pay your respects to father.” General
Song, however, held her firmly and said in a gentle voice, “Empress, you can’t do this.”
The queen Leng Leng stop, eyes inch by inch to walk over the whole body of general song, eventually there are tears filled with eyes. When General
Song saw this, he laughed. “You don’t look like Ching-sheng when you’re crying.” He stepped forward and said solemnly, “I have seen the emperor.” “General Song,” said
the emperor, “please rise.” General
Song looked at the young man in front of him. When I
first saw the boy, he was not the emperor. He was the least favored of the many princes, but he was the first to be made a prince. General Song also knew the reason why
he was not favored-he looked too much like his mother and concubine. His mother and concubine were the love of the late emperor, but she died in childbirth because of his birth. When the late emperor saw him, he always felt sorry for him, which alienated him.
The late emperor was wise all his life, but he was too stubborn in love.
But at the last moment, the late emperor was relieved. He was stubborn for half a lifetime, and went round and round, but he still delivered Jiangshan to him. When he married
Song Jingsheng, he had just ascended the throne, and his face was still green, but he was full of ambition to achieve great achievements.
Zhenzhen is exactly the same as the late emperor at that time.
But he is the emperor, and he has all kinds of worries. General Song was a man who had fought for a generation of emperors. How could he not understand? General
Song looked deeply at the emperor.
As long as he gets rid of his distracting thoughts, he can turn the great scene into a flourishing age. General
Song fought on the battlefield all his life, always for the sake of peace and security.
Finally he said, “Your Majesty, I have two requests to make.”
The emperor did not expect him to suddenly open this mouth, some slightly stunned. General Song smiled and continued, “The old minister can take the blame and resign. Even if he doesn’t have a tiger amulet, he would like to go back to the northern desert and live and die with the soldiers.”. But the old minister still wants to ask for a grace- “
Jingming is still badly wounded, please let him rest in the capital; Jingsheng is a concubine, please let her spend the rest of her life in peace in the palace.”. Both of them, please ask the emperor to be merciful. When
the emperor was silent for a long time, the empress lost control and said,
“Dad, what mistakes have you made?”? Why take the blame? What exactly is your problem? General
Song looked at the queen with a smile on his lips, but the more he looked, the more he saw the feeling of reluctance from his pupils. “Jingsheng,” he said
gently, “my father is old, and he is no longer fit to hold the power of a military strategist.”
The queen looked surprised, still in disbelief.
Then the emperor said in a deep voice,
“I promise. I will treat my eldest brother and the empress well.”
……
The queen had tears in her eyes and her eyes were round. On the day when General
Song returned to Beimo, he finally went to her Fengluan Palace. She held Dad’s hand and refused to let him go so easily. General
Song looked at her, his voice as gentle as ever.
Once upon a time, when I assisted the late emperor, I saw a scene like the rising sun in the east. Of the many descendants of the late emperor, only Qin Rang was the most outstanding. He is a good boy and will be a good king, or I would never have given you to him.
But I told you so. It is not unusual for an emperor to be suspicious. Even if he has a thousand objections in his heart, sometimes he has to make some compromises. Don
‘t worry. The day I handed you over to him, he said he would be kind to you no matter what.
Jingsheng, I’m old for my father. I don’t have any obsession in my life. I just want you and Ching-ming to be fine.
Her clothes were already wet with tears, her father’s hand was sweating, and her fingers were white and she refused to let go. As she
saw her off, she said,
“Father, you must take good care of yourself in Beimo. I’ll come to see you when I get a chance.” After General
Song delivered the tiger amulet back to Beimo, the empress never came to visit the emperor in the Ganyuan Palace again. On the fifteenth day of every month,
the emperor would go to the Queen’s Palace for a reunion, but all of them were rejected.
Today it is said that he is not feeling well, and tomorrow it is said that he has already rested.
The emperor knew that the queen was angry. But she does not see him, he can not, can only wait for her to change her mind day by day. She refused to accept anything that was sent from him. She sent all the large and small beadings to the Fengluan Palace to the Guanju Palace and stuffed them into Jing Zhaoyi’s storehouse.
He sent someone close to the palace to tell her, “You can come to the Qianyuan Palace to find me whenever you want. You don’t have to wait for the guards to report it.”
No reply. “The maidservant told the empress word for word when the emperor asked her to take him,” replied the
palace man with great difficulty. But the empress only cares about what she’s doing and completely ignores it. The maidservant..
He heaved a long sigh. At least she heard it, and that’s all right. When
she practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard, only Jing Zhaoyi could get in and out.
Jing Zhaoyi’s temperament is not meddlesome, and she never interferes with her decisions. It’s just that when Jing Zhaoyi was teasing birds, she would occasionally mention, “If you’re angry with him, it’s always your own heart that gets hurt.”. I know you blame him, but you can’t go wrong every day. Where is the handsome and unruffled Ching-sheng?
She raised her gun like a dragon and turned around again. After collecting the gun beautifully, she picked up the water bag and drank it.
Cheerful.
Just fill a mouthful of water, holding the water bag, but the back is absent.
Finally, she heard herself sigh.
My father is such a loyal minister, but he doesn’t trust him. If one day someone says something wrong about me, he will also dislike me, right? Sincerity is not a bargaining chip. What am I to him?
She raised her eyes to look at the fierce sun, dazzling discomfort.
“When he agreed to make peace with Xi, he told me it was an expedient measure.” At last there was a trace of sob in
his voice. “Could it be that when he married me, it was only an expedient measure?”.
She finally decided to go to the Ganyuan Palace again, and it was half a year later that she learned the news of the disturbance in the northern desert. A letter from
her eldest brother wrote, “My arm wound has healed for the most part, and now I can go to war again.”. The situation in the northern desert is grim. Please ask Jingsheng to fight for me with the emperor.
She suddenly felt a surge of sadness in her heart. She knows too much about
her eldest brother’s injuries. On that day, he was sent back to the capital from the battlefield almost without half a life, and he did not even know if he could wield his gun with his right arm for the rest of his life.
The eldest brother is trying to be brave, she understands, Jing Ming is also Song Jialang, how loyal.
But she couldn’t let Big Brother take the risk again.
So she replied earnestly, word by word, “Please rest assured that my brother is recovering from his injuries. I have a plan.”
Without delay, her Phoenix Palanquin landed at the entrance of the Ganyuan Hall. When the bodyguards saw that it was her, they remembered in their hearts the imperial edict that “the empress can enter the temple directly,” so they did not stop her.
She walked quickly into the temple. What came into view was that he was at a loss for political affairs.
Your concubine. The way
he frowned. The imperial concubine grinds the ink for him, and softly presses the temple for him, the years are quiet and good.
Her heart seemed to skip a beat, and the steps under her feet stopped unconsciously. When
your concubine saw her coming, she respectfully blessed her lower body. “I’ve seen the empress.”
He looked up from the case and saw that it was her, and his eyes lit up for a moment. He suddenly got up and said, “I haven
‘t seen her for a long time.”.
She was far away from the two of them, and did not answer the imperial concubine, nor did she answer him.
But she got down on her knees and made a big gift. “You and I are husband and wife, and we don’t need to salute each other when we meet,” he said as if he were still in his
ears.
He was caught off guard and stood there, thinking a lot, but he couldn’t say a word.
Her voice rang. “The situation in the northern desert is grim. I’ve come to ask the emperor to fight in the northern desert.” A
simple and neat sentence clearly explained the purpose of the visit, polite and alienated, without a word of nonsense. “No,”
he said almost immediately.
She looked up and met his eyes.
His eyes seemed to light up, his face suddenly turned red, and he stepped forward three steps. “I said I wanted you to stay safe in the palace!”! You promised me!
She said calmly, “Your Majesty, I have never promised you.” “I forbid you to go!”
He roared.
That’s the first time he’s been so out of control.
She looked straight at him, but his knees went limp and he fell in front of her. Unable to lean on her shoulder, he embraced her subconsciously, and his voice suddenly softened, even with a hint of pleading.
Sheng Sheng, don’t go. If you don’t have a general, look for him again. But I will never let you take any more risks.
His unique sandalwood fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, bringing back too many memories for her.
She thought of the arms she had fallen into when she was in Texas, and of him who had only her eyes day and night.
She suddenly lusted after the hug. But as if the back of her head had been hit by a blunt object, her heart suddenly snapped up.
She raised her hand and gently pushed him away. “Your Majesty, who else is more suitable in the court besides me?”? Although my father is in the northern desert, he no longer has a tiger charm.
“Your Majesty, you are the one who took back his tiger charm in person.”
The most intimate person knows what kind of tone can hurt each other’s heart.
He was pushed away by her and his hands hung on the ground.
For a long time, when he spoke again, his voice was already full of bitterness.
How could I turn a blind eye to the thousands of people who suddenly appeared in the barracks? It’s true that I took his tiger charm, but..
Can wait for this storm to pass, I will return the tiger amulet to him again, he will be the general of song that ten thousand people admire.
But he did not say the latter part of the sentence, because he suddenly realized that there were more than two of them in the hall.
The imperial concubine was still behind him not far away.
Taishi’s daughter. How dare he make your concubine listen to
these words.
But as soon as he was about to ask the imperial concubine to step down, she folded her fists and said, “If there are really thousands of soldiers in the camp, it must be in the name of General Song.”. In this way, if the people who led the troops are Song Jiaerlang, it will be better to send the new men into the camp. My eldest brother’s injury is too serious to fight on the battlefield now, so it can only be me. She
raised her eyes and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I am sure to return triumphantly with my men. The North Desert will not be able to hurt me at all.”. And ask your Majesty’s permission!
This scene is almost exactly the same as when she went to the West. The
same words with certainty, the same must be won.
But is she still in the same mood?
She is clearly angry now. As far as her temperament is concerned, if she doesn’t untie her happy knot, she won’t hesitate to die this time. His
heart ached so much that he couldn’t think about it.
She fell in front of him without a sound, and he really felt that the sky was falling apart. He didn’t want to go through
the pain again. His eyes were red, and
he said, “I forbid you to go.”
Her eyes were as smooth as stagnant water. In the deep pool, there is a dead helplessness.
She took a deep breath and said slowly,
“What I have just mentioned is a good plan. Please make a decision as soon as possible.”. If he hesitated for a while, hundreds of soldiers would die. First of all,
I am the empress of Dajing and the daughter of the Song family, and then I am your wife. The sons and daughters of the Sung family were born to defend the country.
“Chin Rang, you must be a wise king.”
He looked at her with a palpitation.
……
It was a long time before he finally said, “Good.” With a
low sigh, there was an indiscernible hoarseness in his voice. “But you must come back safely.”. Bring my life back safe and sound.
She was stunned.
Then she smiled with relief. “Please don’t worry, Your Majesty.”. Even for the sake of those soldiers, I will return triumphantly with them.
…… On the day
the empress went to war, the emperor stood at the gate of Changle City to see her off.
The emperor looked at her from a distance and said, “Take care and come back safely.” “I accept your orders,” said
the queen.
Carry a gun and ride a horse.
It was not until the queen’s figure was getting farther and smaller that the emperor repeated, “Be sure to take care.”. He will come back safely.
The sound was long and distant, almost silent.
The queen sped all the way north. It was not until they were approaching the barracks that they slowed down their March.
She laughed helplessly at herself.
This is.. Now coming home nearer, the more anxious I grow The first thing she did when she
arrived at the Song camp was to go straight to her father’s camp. But she didn’t even have time to go in to pay her respects, so she had to lead the men to the battlefield.
The North Desert Army is approaching, and the war is imminent.
She’s actually a little disturbed.
She had just looked at her father from a distance. It was a mental torture for a general to lose the tiger amulet. As a strong man like her father, she expected that he would not want to eat and drink, but she never thought that he was much thinner than she thought.
She felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She thought that if she won the war, she would take her father back to Beijing anyway.
She turned her head and asked the lieutenant, “How many soldiers are there in our battalion?”
The lieutenant replied, “There were a lot of casualties a few days ago, but now..” There were about five thousand of them.
She was startled. “Five thousand people?” She pretended to be calm, but her heart suddenly jumped. “Where are the soldiers in the camp?”? What about the thousands?
The lieutenant’s eyes darkened for the most part. “General, General Song will never expand his army easily.”. The news of the camp is false.
……
She stood in the howling wind field, and the long shock made her unable to move.
The long wind whistled in her ears, and she felt dizzy, as if there was no other person between heaven and earth.
A long silence.
Her thoughts were suddenly drawn back, and there was already an indiscernible hoarseness in her spoken voice.
“You sent a letter to the court.”. I’m calling for reinforcements. As for the reason, what is the origin of the rumor of the expansion of the army, and who is the source of the rumor? I want you to tell the emperor everything you know, word by word.
The war was on the border between the two countries. The North Desert Army, dressed in red armor, looked as red as a maple forest from a distance.
She has been fighting for two whole days.
As long as the war is over, Jingchao’s reinforcements should arrive.
It’s past noon.
The bugle blows and the flag hunts. With a pike in her hand, she gave the order to cut through the sky and “kill.”
In an instant, the two armies were engaged in sumo wrestling with an overwhelming momentum. The armor reflected the light of blood, the impact of the sword led to the smoke and dust, and the roar and howl almost shook the world.
She was like a dragon in thousands of armies, and the soldiers of the Song camp were also overwhelming. The enemy camp of the army of the north desert is obviously fatigue, the north desert flag in the wind is ragged. The North Desert Army was covered with corpses, and the maple red armor became more dazzling because it was stained with blood.
She took a sharp breath, but the pungent smell of blood in the air did not suppress the edge of victory in her eyes. “Pass on the order of this general, enter.”
The soldiers roared loud and clear, their fighting spirit was high, and they followed the female generals to fight heartily.
Who says that defending the country is only a man’s responsibility?
Even though she is a daughter, she conquers the world, defends the country and the people, and is as good as a man with a gun.
Song Jingsheng lived up to the country and the people all her life.
If the heart can be dissected as a lesson, she will not fail her sweetheart.
Her pike whistled, and the Jingzi flag waved behind her steed. She raised her lips with a smile, raised her hand to wipe away the blood splashed on her face, and said in a loud voice, “Go straight to the enemy.”
The word “camp” was on her lips.
Noticing that someone was behind her, she jerked the horse to dodge, but it was too extreme to tear the old wound in her leg and abdomen in the West State.
It was so painful that she lost her mind for a moment-
a sharp arrow ran straight through her waist and abdomen from behind. The sound of
flesh and blood opening.
She lowered her head and saw three more sharp arrows.
……
Far away, the setting sun was like blood, and a few lonely geese passed by. She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn’t really see. All
her feelings slowly magnified, only to feel that everything seemed to be far away from her. The lonely wild goose on the
horizon or the whistling wind in the ear. Somehow
, she suddenly thought of her father and her eldest brother. She thought of a lot of people. Thought of her Yan son, thought of Jing Zhaoyi.
Thought of.. Qin Rang.
Qin Rang.
Her heart rose and fell for a moment. I don’t know who is singing in
my ears: “Since ancient times, loyal ministers and emperors have been suspicious, and complete loyalty and righteousness are not complete corpses.”
She thought, Qin Rang, you must be a wise king.
She heard the crash of swords, spears, swords and halberds, the sound of iron hooves, and the frantic cries of the soldiers around her.
She heard the lieutenant roar. General
Song!
She wanted to say something.
When I opened my mouth, it was silent.
Reinforcements have arrived.
The Northern Desert Army was defeated because of exhaustion, and the Jing Army won a great victory in the Battle of the Northern Desert. The soldiers made a great contribution and returned triumphantly. The people in the city were overjoyed and welcomed the soldiers back to Beijing.
During this period of time, the court has changed its appearance.
It turned out that the emperor had long been suspicious of Taishi’s collusion with his henchmen. The emperor was calm on the surface, but he had been secretly sending people to collect all kinds of evidence of the crime of the grand master, which eventually came down to more than a dozen. In addition to the battle of the northern desert, a letter from the empress stated that the grand master bribed the spy and slandered the accusation of planting General Song.
The spy was hanged, implicating the nine clans; the Grand Master faction was dismissed from their posts and sent to the prison, where they were dealt with together with the queen when she returned triumphantly. The imperial concubine, the daughter of a grand master, was relegated to the cold palace and was forbidden to leave for life.
The late emperor was shackled by the powerful ministers almost all his life.
And when the emperor was 20 years old, he had the courage and ability to bring the matter of “powerful ministers in power” to the table to make an example of him.
A generation of sages and emperors will surely govern the great scene to its heyday in the future.
The emperor looked at his Highness’s generals and said, “The generals have worked hard to fight on the battlefield.”. I was overjoyed at the victory in the battle of Beimo. In addition to the inherent reward, I will send another thousand taels of gold to reward the soldiers.
The generals fell to the ground and kowtowed, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!
The emperor sat in the center of the hall, feeling a rare pleasure.
The emperor looked at his lieutenant with a smile. “Has the queen returned to the palace to rest?”? I am going to see her.
…… The
men still fell to the ground, and no one answered. There was silence in the
hall.
The emperor was suddenly stunned.
Men still fell to the ground, no one dare to look up. In the
dead silence, the emperor stood upright, his face turning white inch by inch.
He turned his back. The evening sun shines into the hall, and the golden dragon pattern on his robe floats for some reason. It was his hands hidden under his long sleeves, and even though he clenched his fists tightly, he could not stop trembling.
General Biao finally replied, “I..” I only found the empress’s red-tassel pike. I’m incompetent!
The emperor did not answer.
Dead, like the deep sea. He burst out laughing slowly.
The laughter did not sound funny at all. It’s cold, bitterly cold, cold like nine days of black ice. But not all cold, clearly sad and painful, as if to tear people’s internal organs. When he spoke
again, he struggled to suppress his burning emotions, but his voice trembled.
“I want to prepare a horse to go to the northern desert, right away.” “Your Majesty,” said the
general.
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes blurred by tears and could not see the scenery around him. “I’m going to find her,” he said
, clenching his teeth as he struggled to swallow the regret and hatred in his throat.
General Biao was about to weep. “Your Majesty!”! We can’t bring back the empress! I searched all over the battlefield and found the body of the empress, but I couldn’t recognize her face at all. Ten thousand arrows pierced her heart. “
General Biao Qi grabbed the ground with his head.” I’m incompetent. I ask the emperor to punish me! ”
All the generals kowtowed in unison and said, “Your Majesty
, please.”
It seemed that a long time had passed and he had not said a word. Because as soon as he opened his mouth, his heart ached, and the pain made him want to faint.
He did not know how that day had come out of the great grief.
She was buried under the green hills.
Jing Jun returned triumphantly, but she stayed under the green hills forever.
He thought that the future was long. He has a lot of days to wait for her to change her mind.
But he can’t wait. The
last time she saw him, she blamed him.
Why?
Mingming, everything is settled. Whether it is the former court or the harem, Dajing has embarked on the road of prosperity. He originally wanted to hold her to see the prosperity, to see the country she guarded, it is the world he governed.
But he can’t wait.
Ten thousand arrows through the heart, how painful should she be?
Thinking of this, he sat down on the throne and covered his cheeks with his hands. He was in extreme pain, his face was horribly twisted, and his warm tears were still slipping through his fingers out of control.
The red tassel pike was sent to her Fengluan Palace.
He walked into the palace yard step by step, but every step was not real. When she
looked up, she suddenly saw her favorite pear blossoms in full bloom on the branches. In a trance, he felt as if it was all a dream, and whenever he woke up, she would run out of the inner hall and rush into his arms, then act like a spoiled child in his arms and say, “I was just playing a joke on you.”
His eyes are always warm and crystal clear.
Until the moment he saw the red-tasseled gun, his whole body suddenly lost its support and fell uncontrollably to his knees in front of the long gun.
He held the long gun in his arms. Finger pulp rubbed every inch of the texture of the gun, as if feeling her remaining warmth.
The gun had been with her for many years, and there were wear marks on the handle, but the edge of the gun was still sharp and shining. What was
her state of mind that day?
He remembered that she had called him by his name when she was in Texas.
She said, Qin Rang.
His tears fell straight down. As soon as he opened his voice, it was so mournful that he couldn’t bear to hear it.
He frowned tightly between his eyebrows, and unconsciously repeated the murmur, “Life.” He couldn’t say anything
but her name.
In other words, he had thousands of words, but never had a chance to say them. The funeral ceremony of
the empress was extremely luxurious, which was not available to the empresses of the Jing Dynasty. It was
not only the queen who died, but also the general of Dajing and the hero of his subjects. The emperor left the court for seven days and held three memorial ceremonies every day. The whole country mourned for the empress in plain clothes. There were no more people in the streets. From time to time, groups of people came to kneel at the gate of Changle.
If there is a national mourning, a kneeling in front of the Changle Gate can be full of grief.
It seemed that there was a spirit in heaven, and the torrential rain had been falling for seven days in a row, scouring the corners of the imperial city.
Crying for a few days, he did not kneel in the center of the hall, not a day without a pale face, like a dying man. There is no
sorrow greater than death of the heart.
……
He ascended the throne at the age of 17. When he ascended the throne, he had no power. In fact, he had no way to decide who he would marry or not. But it’s the same to marry anyone. In successive Dynasties, women with family background are just tools to consolidate power.
From Jing Zhaoyi, to your concubine, to so many beauties in the harem.
Song Jingsheng was originally the same.
She is the daughter of General Song, the daughter of a general.
He didn’t think he would love her like that.
Until the day she went to the West, he felt empty in his heart. He had never felt this way before. He lost his mind for no reason when he wrote the memorial to the throne. He woke up suddenly in the middle of the night for no reason and could not sleep again.
He felt that sometimes his heart beat very fast, and the thoughts of thinking about her and worrying about her would occupy his whole mind if he was not careful.
It was not until the day he rode toward the West that his mood seemed to have finally satisfied his own mind, and he wished he could not get to her side any sooner that he realized that the reason for
this yearning was probably because of the word lovesickness. As he was
on the throne, he was bound to have scruples. So he left Song Jingming in charge of the overall situation in the court, in order to explore the sincerity of the Song family.
He tried to control his feelings for her.
As an imperial family, it is not a good thing to be too emotional. As an emperor, you can’t be too concerned about anyone. It’s not a bad thing to be hard-hearted and cold-blooded. The late emperor was trapped by love all his life, and he knew such drawbacks.
But Song Jingsheng is like the scorching sun.
No matter what happened, she loved him sincerely and passionately with a childlike heart, without hesitation.
His mother died young, and his father never cared about him. In fact, he has long been used to loneliness, and does not expect anyone to accompany him around. But he had to admit that he was too eager for this comfortable love.
She, as well as the Song family, has ever done a disloyal thing?
But none of them.
His reason restrained him, but at the same time he watched himself sink deeper and deeper.
He loves her. He wanted to give her peace and prosperity. The two of them could stand on the gate of Changle City, and then he would take her by the hand and hold her in his arms after she had finished admiring the lights of the thousands of homes she was guarding, telling her,
“Every year after that, I will take you to see these beautiful rivers and mountains for yourself.”
He and she had a long way to go.
All the good things are like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, which no longer exist after the crazy storm. He sat alone in the Ganyuan Hall, no one around, only the wind outside the window beating on the window lattice. Above the
hall, the wine jar fell askew to the ground.
In the past few days, he had no intention of governing at all, and spent all day drinking. With the strength of the wine, he seemed to be able to see her voice and smile, but when he opened his eyes again, it was nothing.
Sometimes he can fall asleep leisurely with the help of alcohol. But his sleep is too shallow, and he often dreams.
He dreamed that he rode alone to the north desert. He rummaged through the corpses one by one, one by one, from the middle of the sky to the west of the sun, and finally found only one of her long guns.
He woke up with a start, lowered his eyes, wet his skirt with tears, and his heart was still aching. He raised his eyes in an
effort to see who it was, but the man was the first to say,
“Your Majesty, Jin An.”
He carefully identified that it was Jing Zhaoyi in plain clothes. The friendship between
him and Jing Zhaoyi is very weak. But he knew that Jing Sheng and Jing Zhaoyi seemed to be very close. As soon as he thinks of Jing Sheng, his heart is soft and almost fragile. “Get up.”
Jing Zhaoyi stepped forward three steps and looked at him in silence, with endless sadness in his eyes.
He raised his eyes, but there was no anger in them. “What did Zhaoyi come to see me for?”
Jing Zhaoyi looked at him for a long time without saying a word, but endured the bottomless mood.
Finally, Jing Zhaoyi said, “The empress left a letter with my concubine before she went to war.” When
Jing Zhaoyi put Xue Taojian in front of him, most of his wine suddenly woke up. He repeatedly looked up at Jing Zhaoyi, then looked down at the letter, and when he reached for the letter, his fingertips trembled slightly.
My heart is pounding, but my hands are very slow. Believe but three fold, he opened it as if he had spent half his life’s strength. On
the letterhead, it was her hairpin.
Handwriting graceful, neat, between the lines like running water, the content of the word on the plain and gentle, and nifty.
Yan’er, I’m not a good mother. Sometimes I want to hold you and coax you to sleep, but my hands are always clumsy and I always shake you awake. But Yan son, there is a mother, other people can not hurt you, this mother can guarantee it.
You will grow up day by day, from being able to call your father and mother to being able to read and write, and you will be more sensible day by day. If on any of your birthdays, your mother goes to war and is not by your side, you should read the letter from your mother and think that your mother will accompany you. Don’t blame me. It
was originally a letter to the big prince. His fingers were still trembling slightly, and his eyes, which had dried up, were now filled with tears.
She went on to write,
Yan’er. Your father is very good. He is the best man in the world. When you grow up, don’t make him angry.
Your father is the emperor, his love to the world, but will always give you the only love, no one can take away. You will have younger brothers and sisters in the future, maybe he will give you to younger brothers and sisters, but this does not mean that he does not miss you. As an emperor,
he can’t help himself sometimes. Don’t blame him.
He is your best father and the most wise king in the world.
Yaner, the queen mother is going to war again. This time I’m going to Beimo. When I come back triumphantly, I want to take you and your father to Jiangnan. The misty rain there is picturesque, and the geomantic omen also nourishes people. I’ve always wanted to go to Jiangnan. It was
signed “Jing Sheng” and dated a few days before she went to war.
He read sentence by sentence and saw her smiling as she held the pen.
He suddenly choked uncontrollably and brushed her handwriting over and over again.
She wrote that he couldn’t help himself. Don’t blame him.
Actually, I’m writing, Qin Rang, I don’t blame you.
She has always been the one who wants to return triumphantly.
“Qin Rang, you must be a wise king,” she
seemed to hear from afar.
He looked at the other end of the hall in the distance, his eyes were full of crystal, and his eyes were like leaves swaying in autumn.
Long spring, summer, autumn and winter, time is wasted.
He is past middle age and is no longer the young man with fresh clothes and angry horses.
The grand scene is unprecedented, and the world is clear and peaceful. Neighbors are harmonious, and there will be no more bad years in troubled times. The powerful officials in the court disappeared, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
…… At that time,
the big prince had been made crown prince and often accompanied him.
They talked about family and state affairs, and the prince’s remarks were often greatly appreciated by him.
He is wise and decisive in front of others, but there will always be some moments of absence and inability behind them. These moments, the prince saw in the eyes.
The prince would ask him softly, “Father, do you miss your mother again?”
He looked far away, smiled faintly, and did not answer.
Yingwu is like him, and there is loneliness in his eyes that he can’t hide.
He never admitted in front of anyone that he missed her.
It’s just that he thinks highly of the armless general Song Jingming. In the Qianyuan Hall, only General Song could go in and out at will, and only he could often accompany him to discuss state affairs and military affairs.
But in the twenty years after the death of the queen, Dajing did not set up a new queen. The Fengluan Palace of the late empress was regularly cleaned by a group of regular and meticulous palace people, and the decorations inside were not changed over the years, as if there were still old friends coming.
However, he reduced the number of troops in order to implement the policy of peace, improve diplomatic relations with friendly neighboring countries, and reduce the war within the four seas by his own efforts. He built a solitary tomb at the junction of the northern desert and the green hills, and he would go to meet his old friends with wine in the cold winter of the year.
It’s just that he makes private visits to the south of the Yangtze River every year. Walking through the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, I sometimes bring back some objects. There was a courtyard in the Fengluan Palace of the late empress. There was a graceful pear tree in the courtyard. He placed the objects under the pear tree.
It’s just that there’s always a red-tasseled spear in the cabinet of the Ganyuan Palace. A piece of Xue Tao paper was pressed under the gun, and it was neat.
Year after year. Cherries are
red and plantains are green. The year of
his death was the twenty-seventh year of the death of the first queen.
Imperial relatives, courtiers and imperial concubines knelt at the entrance of the Ganyuan Hall, and all of them wept and sighed. At that time,
he was ill and his bones were broken, and his body was like a withered man. In the inner hall, he only sent the imperial edict to the prince, the general of Song and Jing Zhaoyi in front of his bed.
He asked,
“Jingming, am I a wise king?”
Sung Ching-ming knelt down on one knee, suppressed his grief, and solemnly replied, “Your Majesty, you have opened up a great and prosperous era. You are indeed a wise king through the ages.”
He pulled the corners of his mouth forcefully, smiled palely, and tried to look at the prince again.
“Yan’er, you also want to be a wise king.”. You will be assisted by General Song. Remember, don’t let the powerful officials get in your head, and don’t be suspicious of the loyal ones. With tears in her eyes,
Qin Yan knocked her head heavily on the ground. “I know!”! My son obeys his father’s teachings!
He nodded and finally looked at Jing Zhaoyi.
Jing Zhaoyi stood far away, with desolation in her eyes.
He was silent for a long time, his heart slowly rising and falling, and his voice was still a little unsteady.
“I..” Before he had finished
a sentence, he paused and inhaled heavily.
“I want to live.” At the end of his
speech, his muddy eyes suddenly became painful and burst into tears.
Twenty-seven years, every moment of his absence, he read this sentence in his heart.
Sheng Sheng, I miss you.
But as the emperor, this sentence to the mouth, and remember that he is the king of a country, how many eyes are staring at him. The king of a country must be a superior king, hard-hearted and cold-blooded is the best, can not have the slightest weakness.
So he had to put away his fatigue and pulled out a smile and said, “I’m just tired.”
He was an unloved prince for seventeen years, an emperor for twenty-seven years, but only her husband for a few months. But this yearning has lasted for twenty-seven years without interruption.
He has gray hair, but she is always in her prime.
…… On the day of the
emperor’s death, a red tassel pike was placed on the side of the couch, as if it were a relic of the late empress.
The first emperor had only one empress. For more than twenty-seven years after the death of the first empress, the first emperor did not set up an empress, nor did he welcome new talents into the palace. There were few concubines and children in the harem.
The common people all know that this kind of seed originates from the deep love between emperors and empresses. The past of the palace wall in the past decades has also been sung in the world after decades.
Jing Zhaoyi had a sweetheart when she was the third princess of Naxi.
At that time, she was dressed in plain clothes, and no one would think she was the princess of Texas.
The soldiers from the central plains is no exception.
He just thought she was an ordinary girl who came out to relax. Not far apart,
they sat quietly on the hill, looking at the blue sky from a distance, the moon hanging high, quiet and distant. Suddenly
she said, “Hey, what’s your name?”
He was obviously startled, but immediately said calmly, “People call me Ah Chuan.”
She repeated, “Ah Chuan?”
“It’s not like the name of a person from Xizhou. Are you from the Central Plains?”
A Chuan also smiled faintly and his voice was gentle.
“Yes.”
Perhaps she was in high spirits that day and opened the conversation box. She did not care whether Ah Chuan was listening or not, but only spoke to herself and complained vividly. She complained about the constraints of rules and regulations, the unchanged life, and even her ruthless father.
She said that when men have money and power, they are bound to abandon their wives and fall in love with others.
She said that if she married someone in the future, she would live independently and live a wonderful life. Unlike her mother, she has been depressed all day since she was separated from her father. One day,
she said, she would leave Texas and go somewhere else.
But no matter what she said and how long she said, Ah Chuan would look at her carefully and listen to her.
She even thought he would fall asleep. But as soon as she looked back at him, he sat there cleverly and looked at her gently. When
the breeze blew, she blushed and turned away awkwardly.
They chatted all night. When the sky was white with fish belly, she realized that she should go back to the palace. She hurriedly got up and ran a few steps. Suddenly she thought of something and turned around.
“Ah Chuan, can I still see you here tomorrow?”
Chuan looked at her, thought for a moment, smiled and nodded, “Yes.”
She also laughed and waved goodbye to Ah Chuan.
The second day, the third day, she will come to this hill to find a Chuan, a Chuan will also appear every time. Another
day and night, another chat. The moon and stars are rare, and the breeze is slow. On a whim,
she asked him, “Ah Chuan, do you have any wishes?”
He thought for a moment and said earnestly and solemnly, “I hope there will be no more war in the land of the king.”
She looked at Ah Chuan with a lot of thoughts.
…… No
more war?
Who doesn’t want the world to be plain.
She took her Jasper bracelet from her wrist and handed it to him.
He was a little scared, but she smiled. “Don’t be nervous.”. Are we friends now? This is a gift for a friend.
He was stunned for a moment and finally accepted it sheepishly.
…… The last time
they saw each other, Ah Chuan came in a hurry.
He told her that they were going to March further southwest and that they would no longer be stationed here. Then he took out a wooden box and opened it. Inside was a string of small Jasper necklaces.
Small, exquisite, with extraordinary workmanship.
He put it on her, looked into her eyes, and said, “It’s too soon to return. Ah Chuan doesn’t know when we’ll see each other again. I hope you’ll take care of yourself.”
He waved goodbye to her. “This is a return gift.”
That was the last time he saw her.
After that, Ah Chuan really never came again. She was alone on the hill, blowing the evening breeze, her eyes distant and thoughtful.
The moon shone gently on the top of the mountain, just like a pair of eyes of Ah Chuan. A day over a
month.
She was playing with the birds in the palace, and the news of the great victory in the army came from her attendants. After a great victory in the army, the Jing army was ambushed from the east, and the whole army was wiped out.
She had never cared about this before, but that day she heard it very clearly.
East?
Is it Chuan’s army? When
she thought of this, her heart suddenly missed a beat and her mind went blank. Since then
, she has never been concerned about the news of the king’s army in the western state.
Year after year.
She did not know whether Ah Chuan was alive or dead. If he were alive, would he have returned to the Central Plains to marry and have children? If he had died in battle, where on the hill would his bones be buried?
She had not said a word to her father for a long time, but she had moved to surrender to her father countless times, just to use her power to find the idea of Ah Chuan.
But when her words came to her lips, she had to swallow them back.
Because when she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly realized that she didn’t even know Ah Chuan’s name.
In fact, the Jasper bracelet she gave Ah Chuan was given to her by her mother. She secretly made up her mind that if she met the person she liked, she would take the bracelet and promise each other.
……
Later, as Princess Heqin, she married the emperor of Dajing.
She was reluctant for a thousand times, until her father said, “Kona, if I marry Jing in Xizhou, I can guarantee the stability of the country for at least 20 years, and there will be no more war.” A clear voice suddenly echoed in
her ear, “I hope there will be no more war in the land of the king.”
If I can’t marry you, it doesn’t matter who I marry.
If so, is it something to do for you? He met a woman when he was visiting incognito
in the south of the Yangtze River.
That year he visited his old friend in Xizhou, Yijue. In the depths of the bamboo forest in the south of the Yangtze River, Yijue has a mansion, which is happy and contented, and calls itself “Cuirenju.”.
He has not been there for many years. When he stood and knocked at the door of Cuiren House, he always felt as if he were separated from the world.
He waited for a while before the door was slowly opened. It was a woman who opened the door, but she did not look like the wife of the Lord of Justice. There was a long scar across the bridge of her nose, which was shocking. If you don’t look at this scar, she is a comely beauty.
Perhaps it is the servant of the righteous Lord in the middle. He didn’t think so. “I’m a good friend of the Lord of Justice, and I’ve come to visit him today because I have nothing to do.”. I’ve come at a bad time. Isn’t Lord Yee in the middle?
The woman said, “Lord Yee and his wife are out on business. We’ll be back in a few minutes. Please come in and wait.”
Her voice was not soft and moving, even a little hoarse, but he did not know why his heart moved.
So he froze a little and his eyes fell on the woman’s face.
Her features were not outstanding, but her eyes made him feel more familiar. He looked at her so seriously, but she was not afraid, a pair of eyes with deer alert, three points alert, but seven points calm.
He looked at her for a long time and crossed the threshold without saying a word.
He sat down at the tea pavilion. When the woman was serving tea, he saw her white hands. There were no blemishes on the skin, not like those who do rough work, not even the traces of needlework.
Then she’s not a servant.
But she should not be the concubine of Yijue because of the scar on her face. “What’s your name?”
He wondered. “My name is Ah Chu,”
she answered in a methodical manner. “Who are you?”
He asked.
She smiled shallowly. “Idlers.”
He asked no more questions. At the end of the day
, he came home late with his wife. When he saw that it was him, a smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to salute, he stepped forward to support him. When he
saw his costume, he understood that he was visiting incognito, and there was no need to be too polite. Although there was no one else at the moment, he said to him, “Brother, how are you?” With a faint
smile in his eyes, he sat down with Yijue, sipping tea and chatting. When
old friends meet again, they can chat naturally. They talked about everything, and even laughed at the speculation. But no matter how high the interest is, when we talk about one place, we will always quietly bypass and not touch it.
That place, between the lines, all about the first queen.
……
Seven years.
Seven years had passed, but there was still a touch of sadness in his eyes when he mentioned a few words about her.
The sun is approaching the Western Hills. When he poured
himself another cup of tea, he finally opened his mouth.
“Just now you and your wife were not here, but the woman who opened the door for me did not look like a servant.” When he
heard this, he put down his teacup and showed his eyebrows after a little thought.
You must be talking about Ah Chu. That’s the girl my wife took in some years ago. She loved her, so she let her live in the house.
He raised his teacup and took a sip. His eyes were pale. “Take him in?” “It’s taken in, but it’s more like picking it up,” said J
ue Yi.
He gazed at Ah Chu’s back and said, Ah Chu has a hard life. If I hadn’t met my wife, I might have died in that cold winter.
……
Winter. When
she went to war, it was also a cold winter.
He could not help feeling sad and became a little silent.
But she was lost in memories. It took her two years to recover from all her injuries, but the scars on her body could not be removed. I don’t know what Ah Chu has experienced, but he has scars all over his body. Women are like this, not to mention finding a good family, it is just difficult to see people. She searched all over Texas and found a miraculous doctor who changed her skin inch by inch.
As if he could not bear it, his heart sank with the sound of his voice.
Change the skin?
Changing the skin is the scar removal technique that only the royal women in the state know. Cut off the dead skin of the scar and sew it up with new skin. But the process is painful, royal women are often delicate, if not extremely eye-catching scars will not easily change skin.
Zhu’s scars changed inch by inch.
His eyes grew deep.
“It’s a pity that the scar on the bridge of her nose has reached the bone, and it can’t be removed,” he continued. If I had known this, I might as well not have let Ah Chu suffer like that.
“It’s so painful to change the skin, but Ah Chu didn’t even cry out. What a strange woman!” He sighed. Her ladyship felt sorry for her and knew that she seemed to be particularly content with the small scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, so she recognized her as a foster sister and let her stay in Cuirenju.
She suddenly remembered something. Ah Chu is a poor person who has lost her memory. She doesn’t even remember her name. This name was given by Madame, because she is particularly suited to vermilion. At the end
of the speech, the righteous jue sighed.
Looking up at him, he saw that his face had already frozen and his face was a little pale. “Brother Rang?” Said J
ue Yi, startled.
His hand holding the teacup was stuck in place, and every breath became long.
Zhu was displaced in a cold winter.
Zhu lost all his memories and changed his appearance.
But that’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is her eyes. Appearance can change, but her eyes can’t. He finally knew where the familiarity came from when he looked at her-
her eyes were as alert as deer, but she seemed to think that she had nothing to fear.
……
Really, very much like Sheng Sheng.
When the thought of “Ah Chu is like a living being” came to his mind, he was almost startled, and his breathing became even faster involuntarily, and he could not see the scenery around him clearly.
He struggled to swallow, his eyes were slightly red, and he wanted to speak for a long time, and even sweat oozed from his forehead. “Brother Rang?” He said,
a little flustered.
He seemed to wake up from a dream, and when he looked at Yijue, there was a light in his eyes that he had not seen for a long time.
He paused for a moment, then hesitated and said, “I want to say a few words to Ah Chu, but I don’t know..” Is it possible?
Yi Kui Jue is stupefied.
He is the son of heaven, a Zhu Zuo is just a folk woman, why should he be so cautious? He was the only one left in
the tea pavilion.
In fact, during this period of waiting, there seemed to be a tsunami in his heart. These countless days and nights, the lieutenant described her death like a sword against his throat, the feeling of suffocation so that he could not move.
Ten thousand arrows pierced her heart and destroyed her appearance. How could she survive?
But what if she wasn’t dead? Could it be that she actually survived, and that she happened to meet the wife of the Lord of Justice, and that she survived? When
he thought of this, his heart would jump out of his chest. When
Ah Chu came slowly, there were almost tears in his eyes.
“I don’t know what you want me to do?”
Chu asked him.
He was speechless for a long time.
He tried to see something of the past in her face, even if it was for a moment that he was moved. But when Ah Chu looked at him, his eyes were like a clear spring, and there was nothing but a stranger, and there was nothing to say about the past.
He was suddenly shocked.
Perhaps Ah Chu’s fearlessness and calmness came from her passing through the gate of death. The same is true of
life. She had walked through the gate of death countless times
for his country, and of course she was fearless.
In front of Ah Chu, his memory is completely lost and his appearance is damaged.
If she was really alive, he would not hesitate to take her back to the palace and spend his whole life making up for her. But such a thing is really ridiculous. Seven years ago, her funeral was known all over the country. Seven years later, he inexplicably brought back a civilian woman. Who would be convinced?
He stared at her, unwilling to let her go for a second, hoping that she would be moved even for a moment and call him “Qin Rang.”.
But Chu didn’t.
Chu was at a loss as to what to do. “Are you crying, sir?” He asked. Only then did
he realize that he had shed tears. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and said with a faint smile, “It doesn’t matter. Maybe it’s because I saw the wind.”
Chu was still looking at him, with a faint worry in his eyes. Suddenly
he said, “Do you know the late Empress Sung Ching-sheng?”
He finally asked. When
Ah Chu heard this, he looked at her with a slight look of embarrassment, and then offered him five points of respect: “I know that she was the queen who died early, and she was even more the hero of the great scene.”
…… The huge stone hanging high in
his heart seemed to fall to the ground. Between the aphasia, he suddenly realized that since Ah Chu had heard about what had happened when she was alive, she would not be alive.
She was just one of the lucky ones who survived. There may be many lucky people
like her. They all survived.
Only the living body is always cold in that cold winter. It was
also at that moment that he suddenly realized that the reason why he had that momentary absence was that perhaps Ah Chu would be living-
just because he missed living, and missing became a stubborn disease, like a nightmare haunting him day and night.
If only we could see each other again in this life.
He thought so, and his tears could no longer be held back. He turned around and dropped two lines of crystal.
…… As he
took his leave, he looked to the horizon as the sun set. How,
he thought, could he be punished enough for what he owed her.
He thought again that she had already punished him.
She punished him for missing him and punishing him for spending his whole life looking for a figure similar to her. Pear blossoms are in full bloom in
the Phoenix Palace. “The pear blossoms have fallen,”
he murmured.
[Fan Wai San Zhi Chun and Jing Ming]
Song Jingming was already a famous general in the capital when he was young. He had never married, and he was young and promising, and there were many famous and gentle girls who wanted to marry him.
But he himself did not move the idea of marrying a wife.
He thought that he had dedicated his life to his family and country, so he should wait to settle down before getting married. Otherwise, if he married a wife, he would spend less time together and more time apart, and people would worry about him every day. He didn’t like this. In the last days of the
late emperor’s reign, there were frequent wars between Jing and Xizhou, and he was almost always in the military camp. The late emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne. Fortunately, he won the battle and returned to Beijing with the army.
He knew that the new emperor was assisted by his father, Song Zhongliang. Since he was identified by his father, he must be a sage monarch. At the enthronement ceremony of the
new emperor, he looked at the new emperor from a distance among his ministers. The new emperor is very young, but he has an imperial aura that is not in line with his age. After
the enthronement ceremony, he did not stay in Beijing for a long time, and after a short rest, he set off for Xizhou.
About a month later, he received a letter from home with the news of his sister’s marriage. He was overjoyed, but in the army, he could not get away, and he had a lot of feelings for a while.
That night, he went to a hill alone. It was some distance from the barracks, and his heart calmed down when he looked at the moon in the distance. The
letter said that Jingsheng married the new emperor, and the new emperor gave her the honor of queen.
He was a little surprised, but he thought it was good.
He thought that he didn’t really care whether she was going to be queen or not, but only whether she could be safe and happy.
Just then, he heard a woman’s voice:
“Hey, what’s your name?”
He looked around quietly and found that there was no third person. He looked down with some surprise. A plain girl was looking at him with a smile. What’s
his name?
He thought for a moment. The reputation of “Sung Ching-ming” is outside, and he doesn’t want to stir up too much trouble. So he invented a name, “Ah Chuan.”
Ming character, go to all the horizontal strokes is Chuan. He had a guilty conscience, but the surface was calm.
Fortunately, the woman also believed it. Or maybe he felt that the woman didn’t really care what his name was, she just had a lot to say and happened to meet him.
It happened that his sister was getting married tonight, and he was already in a happy mood, and there was nothing wrong with listening to her again.
But he found something different about this woman.
She is not gentle and quiet. The feeling she gave him, if you want to compare, should be-although a beautiful prisoner bird, but has strong wings, enough to support her to escape from bondage and fly far away. What she said and what she felt were all fluent and without affectation, and he enjoyed it very much.
That night, he was in a rare mood.
So when the woman asked him, “Can I see you here tomorrow?” At that time, he did not habitually refuse immediately, but thought for a moment and promised her. In the
next few days, he did not break an appointment.
He did not know if all the women in the state were more lively, but he felt more and more that the woman was smart. There is always a Lingxi in
their conversation. He felt that such a conversation was really pleasant, and that she was probably a rare confidant in life.
But the moon waxes and wanes. The camp had been stationed here for more than a month, and they decided to March further southwest in the near future.
Say goodbye to this hill, and the people you meet in the hill may never be seen again. Although it is too late to
meet, even if we know each other for a moment, but at least we met, it is not the worst. Just as
he was losing his concentration, the woman suddenly asked him, “Ah Chuan, do you have any wishes?”
His heart could not help moving.
Wish?
He smiled helplessly in his heart. He has many wishes, but he seems to have no time to think about them. He hoped that Dajing would be prosperous and healthy, and that his father and sister would have a smooth life. He hopes..
“I hope there will be no more wars in the land of the king.”
He answered very carefully, and that was what he was thinking.
Although he spent half his life on the battlefield, it was because of this that he knew what the war had brought.
The woman stopped talking. Through the moonlight, he saw her thoughtful expression. She lowered her head slowly, took off the Jasper bracelet on her wrist and handed it to him.
The Jasper bracelet was so beautiful in the moonlight that he could see that it cost a lot of money.
The woman smiled brightly and said, “Think of it as a gift for a friend.”
He hesitated for a moment and finally accepted it. He should give her a gift in return, he thought. This farewell may never meet again, and her acquaintance time is really short but really happy, the right to return the gift as a thought.
His return gift was the Jasper necklace he had always carried with him. When
he put it on her with his own hands, he found that her neck was very beautiful. When
he waved goodbye to her, he found that she had been standing where she was. It was his father who taught him not to turn back when he went to war. When he turned back, it was hard to avoid worrying about him. He simply stopped looking back and looking at her. The destination of
their army’s journey was to cross the mountains, a vast, trackless plain. On that day, it rained heavily. The rain washed away the rocks and the army was trapped in the valley. In that place, the Xizhou army set up a defense on the mountain. They had no right time and no right place, so in the chaos of arrows, the whole army fell apart.
The rain was pouring down, and he could not see whether it was a heavy rain or a random arrow. The dull air pressure made him dizzy. I don’t know whether the rain was too cold or the wounds were too dense. In his numbness, he found that he had gradually lost his strength, and the scene in front of him became more and more blurred. When
he fell, there was a soft mess beneath him that could not be distinguished from mud or corpses.
He had never been in such a desperate situation, and he thought maybe he would die here.
But thanks to God, when he woke up, he was in the Song Mansion.
He did not know how long it had been, but he could tell that it was chilly in spring.
He was lucky enough to save his life. But he could feel that his body was not as good as before, and he could also feel the emptiness of his right arm. The moment he
felt his right arm empty, his heart suddenly tightened, his eyes looking at the ceiling became dull and stupefied, but tears did not flow down.
Nothing to complain about. He only felt that perhaps his bright red life on the battlefield was like a dream, and when he woke up, he was left with only endless, long and wasted years.
Jingsheng sent many trusted doctors and servants from the palace to take care of him, and day after day, his health gradually improved. As soon as he was able to stay and walk, he began to force himself to adapt to the loss of his right arm.
Jingsheng sent a letter home, he returned every letter, just want to make her feel at ease.
His sister is the one he cares about most. He just needs to know that Jingsheng is safe.
But what he didn’t expect was that even if he only had this wish, he couldn’t get it.
……
Jing Sheng’s funeral ceremony lasted for seven days. Qin Rang left the court and held three memorial ceremonies every day.
The Song family was eventually washed away the injustice of disloyalty, but the price was Jingsheng’s life.
He is a man who has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and he boasts that he has a hard enough heart. But Jingsheng’s memorial tablet stood there quietly, but he did not dare to look up, because at one glance, the grief and regret in his heart could not be suppressed.
Time seems to go back to the past. He had no choice but to ask Jingsheng to deliver
the letter, because he knew that there were rumors about the Song family in the court. Although he knew in his heart that his physical condition was not optimistic, the war situation in the north desert really made him anxious.
Ching-sheng’s reply came back very quickly. It said, “Please rest assured, brother, I have a way.” He would never have thought that the way he said in the letter was to go to battle himself. If he had expected it, he would not have agreed even if he dragged his half-disabled body to death on the battlefield.
If he hadn’t written the invitation letter, would everything be different?
……
When the ceremony was completed, the attendant was afraid that he was depressed and asked him if he would prepare a sedan chair to return to the house immediately.
He said, “Let’s go to the Feng-luan Temple.”
He walked all the way without a sedan chair. When Fengluan Palace was close at hand, he felt that there was a heavy weight under his feet, and he could not take a step.
“Ah Chuan?”
A familiar voice sounded behind him at the moment, and he could not help but feel a sound.
This nickname has long been sealed in a corner of his memory. He turned away slowly.
……
She stood there in a daze, looking at him in pairs.
It’s only a moment, but the time is so long. He looked at her, and time flashed back-
even though he was now a disabled man with a broken arm, with only a desolate old look in his eyes, which was very different from his clear appearance years ago, he knew that she had recognized him.
He did not know why she appeared in the palace, but suddenly saw her Zhaoyi dress. In
Qin Rang’s harem, there was a Heqin princess from Xizhou, who registered the position of Zhaoyi. He had heard about it all the time, but he never thought it would be her.
She stood there quietly, saying nothing, but gazing into his eyes with mixed emotions.
Her eyes fell on his right arm, which was empty, and her face was obviously stiff and speechless for a long time. Looking back at him
again, the wet red eyes have been tried to endure by her, but even after several forbearance, blindly distressed but ultimately too late to hide.
Even though the pain was fleeting, he could see it clearly.
He looked at her and suddenly saw that she was wearing the Jasper necklace he had given her. The necklace was her personal belongings, but after years of wearing it, there was no wear and tear, which showed the depth of her love.
He has a thousand words, but he can’t say them.
She was no longer the woman in plain clothes on the hill. She was wearing palace clothes. She was Jing Zhaoyi of Qin Rang.
He was not Ah Chuan, who had shocked the years in her memory. He was Song Jingming, who had broken his arm.
Those nights when they can chat until dawn will never belong to them again.
It’s just that all this time has passed.
He glanced into her eyes and said, “Lady Zhaoyi, Chin An.”
Thousands of words, he did not have to say, she understood.
He called her “Lady Zhaoyi,” and now that she had become Jing Zhaoyi in the harem, those feelings, concerns, thoughts, or other things that should not have been there, were sealed up, just like the few days when they had Lingxi in their hearts.
He only said one word, and she understood. The hanging stone in
his heart, his thousands of moving faces, and the fleeting time he had never forgotten.
She suddenly smiled, a decent smile. “It was General Song,”
she said. “How are you?”
…… It was late at night when
he returned to Song Fu. Sitting alone in the courtyard, his back was desolate and lonely. Gains and losses in the
world are common. He remembered that he used to be a young man with burning ambition in his eyes, who went to war with my father with pride. At that time, he did not care about fame, gains and losses, but only had a long gun, aiming at the world.
More than ten years later, he looked sideways at the empty sleeve, only to feel like a lifetime ago.
In fact, he should still be the young man who did not care about gains and losses. Ordinary people suffered from this situation or had committed suicide, but he could practice all kinds of marksmanship with his left hand every day.
He smiled helplessly, groping for the glass with his left finger pulp, and his eyes were deep.
He suddenly thought of her.
This thought opens its mouth and pours down like a mountain torrent.
He thought of the way she looked at him, of the Jasper necklace on her neck, of her last forced but appropriate smile. In
that smile, he tasted it carefully and felt that it might contain relief.
As if to say, “You’re still alive. You’re still alive.”
“As long as you’re alive.”
……
He thought no more, but looked up and let the strong drink go down. Another moon
lit night. When
Qin Yan was very young, she had a guess in her heart.
He never met his mother, and no one told him where her mother had gone. And in the harem, the empress who treated him most affectionately was his mother Jing.
His father was often busy with the government and had little time to accompany him. Apart from his Taifu, his uncle, General Song Jingming, often taught him by his side.
At that time, he had just turned five years old, and he was already very lively and active, and he could often hit it off with his uncle.
But looking back at his deep and unsmiling father, he felt that his character was really not like that of his father at all.
As a result, five-year-old Qin Yan silently wondered
if there was a possibility that he was actually the biological child of his uncle and Jing’s mother and concubine?
……
Little Qin Yan’s guess became more and more firm as he got along with his uncle and Jing’s mother.
He thought, if he was really not their own child, why did they treat him so well?
My uncle could carry himself with one hand, put himself on his shoulders, and go hunting with him on horseback.
Jing mother imperial concubine’s preference is more obvious, Jing mother imperial concubine even to his father emperor is not very kind, when sees him is the eyeful smile.
But even if he thought so, he never showed it.
He thought that although his conjecture was a fact, his father had only one child, and he had no brothers or sisters. If he returned to his biological parents, his father would be sad.
The father emperor originally seemed to have a preoccupation, if he was still so ignorant, the father emperor would certainly be more preoccupied.
Little Qin Yan thought so, and he was more determined to be good to his father.
As a result, he studied harder and practiced swordsmanship. Whenever his father was free, he would go to visit him with his father’s favorite cakes.
Gradually he became less naughty, and Jing’s mother and uncle often praised him for growing up.
As a result, young Qin Yan was described by many civil officials as “very mature.”.
Little Qin Yan thought, in fact, he just can recite a little more books, it is not mature. Civil and military officials want to praise him like this, probably because there are no other princes besides him.
In this way, he had to accept the evaluation.
On this day, he studied until the third quarter of the day. He studied so late, and Jing’s mother accompanied him so late. When he
saw Jing’s mother and concubine sitting aside with no spirit, he was suddenly so moved that he could not restrain himself. He put down his pen with red eyes and walked to Jing’s mother and concubine.
His original intention was to hug Jing’s mother. Jing’s mother sobered up a little. “What’s the matter, Yaner? Are you going back to rest?” Stunned,
he tried to hold back his tears and smiled. “I thank you for the company of Concubine Jing. She treated me so well, just like her own mother.”
He was telling his mind in a very obscure way, but Jing’s mother and concubine were not as excited and gratified as he had imagined, but had more peace and relief in her eyes.
Jing’s mother smiled and rubbed his head. “If your mother were still alive, she would only treat you a thousand times better than me.”
Jing mother imperial concubine took him back to the palace on the way, small Qin Yan thought, since Jing mother imperial concubine said so, that his absurd guess naturally also did not hold water. While
he was secretly angry that his guess was so out of tune, he could not help thinking far away.
He thought that although his uncle tried his best not to let the palace people mention where his mother had gone in front of him, he grew up day by day, and vaguely felt that his mother in everyone’s mouth was probably dead. Before
he could even remember what his mother looked like, he would never see her again.
Little Qin Yan looked at the moon hanging high in the sky outside the sedan chair, and couldn’t help feeling sad.
Back when the prince was already ugly. He was so tired that he only cleaned up a little and fell into a deep sleep.
…… Suddenly there was clarity
in front of my eyes. As soon as
he looked up, there was a pear tree in front of him. The pear blossoms fell one after another, and a woman stood under the pear tree.
He involuntarily tried to get closer, but stopped three steps away from the woman.
The woman turned and looked at him.
He could see the woman’s face. She was born to be very beautiful, with willow eyebrows and star eyes. Her eyebrows and eyes were curved when she smiled, and she was dressed in a red dress that matched her very well. She looked very young, but twenty years old, but she looked at herself more gently and gently than any mother and concubine.
He never met her.
But he felt that she was so familiar, as if he should have known her.
He reached out and tried to touch her. When he reached out, the woman reached out and held her hand.
There was no touch, as light as the wind, but he was relieved for no reason.
He asked her, “Who are you?”
The woman did not answer, but bent her knees and crouched down, stroking his face, with crystal in her eyes.
He asked her again, “Why don’t you speak?”
The woman still had no reaction.
He suddenly realized that she might not be able to hear what she was saying.
But why? This is a very strange thing. He felt strange in his heart, but he was not angry at all. He only looked at the woman carefully. He thought the woman was beautiful, but not breathtaking.
It is beautiful with heroism, and it is the appearance that people will not forget.
……
Little Qin Yan woke up. When
little Qin Yan woke up, she stayed on the bed for half a cup of tea.
He suddenly realized that everything just now was just a dream.
The pear tree with falling flowers and the woman dressed in red came from a dream.
But why did he feel that the dream was so real that it was not like a dream? And the woman’s appearance, he did not forget half a minute, even eyes closed can clearly see her eyebrows.
He didn’t tell anyone about the dream.
Only half a month later, when he saw Sung Ching-ming again, he said to him, “Uncle, I want to study painting as well as calligraphy.”
Sung Ching-ming was stupefied for a moment, but then he said, “What does Your Highness want to learn to paint?” “Danqing,” said
little Qin Yan.
Song Jingming nodded, and did not ask its fundamental, nodded in agreement for him to find the best skill in the palace of Danqing Shi as his teacher.
May be the emperor’s talent, although he opened Meng late, but quick. After studying painting for three years, he has been able to basically copy eight parts of a person’s appearance and three parts of his manner.
Finally, he began to try to paint the woman who had been in his dream. For
three years, perhaps he often thought of that woman, her appearance and expression he did not forget half a minute.
He did not dare to rush this painting, and every stroke was written after careful consideration. As time went by, this painting also spanned the four seasons, and in a twinkling of an eye, it was another winter.
That day, after a family dinner in Lunar New Year’s Eve, little Qin Yan boldly stopped Song Jingming, who was about to leave the palace, and said, “uncle, the prince has a painting that I have done, and I want to show it to my uncle.”
When Song Jingming heard this, he was delighted to be invited. Inside the
prince’s house, he took down the scroll and put it on the table, and slowly spread it out. He looked up again, but saw Song Jingming’s pupils trembling in disbelief, and then stepped forward, holding the table in one hand and leaning down to look closely.
He was a little surprised, surprised that his uncle, who had always been steady, seemed to have lost his temper. But when he was surprised, Song Jingming raised his head again, with a trembling color in his tone.
This. Is this your Highness’s painting?
Little Qin Yan did not know where to nod.
Sung Ching-ming immediately replied, “Is it a copy?”
Little Qin Yan shook her head. “No, I painted it according to a woman’s appearance.” He paused and said, “What’s the matter, uncle?”? Is there anything wrong with this woman? Seeing my uncle’s expression, it seemed that this woman was my uncle’s old friend. “
Sung Ching-ming looked at the painting and said in a daze,”.. This is Jing Sheng.
Little Qin Yan was stunned.
Song Jingming looked up at him and said, “This is the late queen.”. Your.. Queen Mother.
Little Qin Yan held her breath and her heart beat suddenly.
Song Jingming gazed at him as if he had suppressed all kinds of emotions in his heart.
Little Qin Yan also tried her best to stabilize her mind before she calmly said
, “I dreamed of her in a dream three years ago.”. There was a pear tree in the dream, and she was standing under it. When she approached me, I saw her face clearly. When I woke up, I just thought it was an insignificant dream, so I didn’t tell anyone, but the woman’s appearance was deeply imprinted in my heart. I thought it was amazing, so I thought of painting a picture for her. The more
he said, the faster his heart beat, and his eyes turned red.
He returned to the dream in a trance. He seldom had many dreams, but he remembered that dream very clearly. He thought that the woman might have a connection with him, but he never thought it was such a connection.
Sung Ching-ming said thoughtfully, “The pear tree?”
…… When
Song Jingming took little Qin Yan to the Fengluan Palace, little Qin Yan was actually very stubborn.
He has never been to Fengluan Palace. He knew that when his mother was still alive, she lived in the Fengluan Palace, but after her mother died, his father would not allow anyone else to go in except the people who swept the palace. When
he stepped into the vestibule of Fengluan Palace, a pear tree came into view. In the dream, the flowers were falling, but now the snow is falling, and the snow on the trees looks like a pear tree from a distance.
Small Qin Yan did not speak, just Leng in place, young age unexpectedly also understand the mixed feelings.
Sung Ching-ming seems to sigh with a long sigh, “Ching-sheng is always thinking about us.”
She didn’t want to give up us, and she missed you very much, so she went to your dream to meet you.
On the second day, Song Jingming took little Qin Yan to dedicate the painting to Qin Rang. After
Qin Rang unfolded the scroll, he was stunned and then incredulous, staring at it inch by inch, as if he was afraid of missing any details. “Your Majesty,”
said Sung Ching-ming, “the ornaments of the Feng-luan Palace have not been touched for years, but the old friend has finally come back.”
Qin Rang did not answer. But there was a sudden frown between his eyebrows, as if a very complicated and penetrating emotion had suddenly passed through his heart. He opened his mouth, but he was unable to say a word. He just cried out.
Little Qin Yan has never seen his father like this.
Impression of the father, kill decisive, hard-hearted cold blood. But now in front of the father, just to see a painting, unexpectedly will show such a look, unexpectedly will be full of crystal eyes.
Qin Rang raised his head and waved to little Qin Yan. He smiled, but there were tears on his face. “Yan, come here.”
Little Qin Yan stepped forward, and Qin Rang took him into his arms and looked at the picture together. The woman in the
painting is smiling. Qin Rang raised his hand and gently rubbed the face of the woman in the painting.
“This is your mother.”
He said.
“I often dream of her, but she doesn’t say a word to me in my dreams. I think she’s in my dreams because I miss her so much.” Qin Rang Xu Xu said, the mood in his eyes became more and more surprised and happy.
If we can really meet in a dream, even if heaven and man are separated, only a moment is enough.
Later, the emperor, who had never believed in ghosts and gods, began to pray for blessings and offer sacrifices. The officials did not know why the emperor suddenly changed his temper, but the emperor had his own considerations, so he did not ask. For
more than ten years after that, the weather was good in the kingdom. There should have been mountain torrents and droughts, but it was a false alarm after being stationed.
The people say that all this is blessed by God. Before and after the sacrificial ceremony of the first empress every year, there are also rumors that perhaps the soul of the first empress turned into a God, sheltering the people she had guarded.
…… When
Qin Yan was twenty years old, Qin Rang took him to the North Desert Castle Peak.
It is no longer a wasteland. The war is over, the years are gone, and from a distance there is a stretch of lush mountains dotted with flowers.
Qin Rang rode a fine horse and looked out from a distance. “Twenty years ago,” he said
to Qin Yan beside him, “this place was desolate. Twenty years of spring and autumn like a snap of a finger, you see, here has become very beautiful, right? If you sleep here forever, you will probably feel at ease.
Qin Yan listened solemnly.
Qin Rang said lightly, “After you inherit the throne, I will be buried with her in the coffin, but you will leave me in this green hill.”
Qin Yan did not answer immediately. It’s just the two of them
right now. If it were someone else, perhaps he would immediately kowtow and say, “Long live your majesty, your majesty for thousands of generations.”. Moreover, the matter of Chengzuo concerns the country, even if he is the inevitable candidate, also must not write the ambition of the wolf on his face.
However, for more than ten years, he accompanied his father, watching his father work hard for the country, and always depressed because of the heart knot. What was
his father’s state of mind?
Perhaps the only thing he cares about in his life is his own country and the love that has already left him. He had cared about
this secular thing, but he had looked down on it after so many years of cold and heat.
Qin Yan finally nodded and said solemnly, “I’ll keep that in mind.”
……
Many years later, Qin Yan went to the palace of the imperial concubine of Jinggui.
Unconsciously, I also talked about the past when Qin Yanfang ascended the throne.
At that time, Qin Yan intended to honor her adoptive mother Jing Guifei as the queen mother. However, the courtiers said that the imperial concubine Jing was a princess of Heqin, whose lineage was from Xizhou rather than Central Plains, and could not be honored as the queen mother.
Qin Yan was about to retort, but it was Song Jingming who said, “Your Majesty, what I said is true.”
Jing Guifei, when did she care about fame and position?
He knows her heart. If she were in the court, she would only give the same answer.
Qin Yan asked, “Did my uncle come to the palace today to talk about the old days with his mother?” Concubine
Jing Gui said with a smile, “How can a man who wants to go to the battlefield without an arm be willing to be trapped in the palace?”? I wish I could go to the mountains and rivers all the time to take a break from my busy schedule.
Qin Yan also smiled faintly.
She did not understand his heart.
In fact, in the end, it is just an obsession. I don’t know the origin of
obsession, but once I pick it up, it’s hard to put it down.
For example, the female general who is devoted to the country, the king who devotes himself to the country, or the princess who wishes only peace in her heart, or the general who is single and forbears for half a lifetime.
But what if it’s hard to put down? If you have love and thoughts
in your heart, you will live with flesh and blood.
Like the continuous green hills, it is endless.
