As the saying goes:

Learn from the present, learn from the ancients, learn from the ancients and learn from the present; people on stage, people off stage, people on stage and off stage judge people.

It's Peking Opera!Since the founding of Daqi, Peking Opera has been regarded as the "quintessence of the country"!In Xiandao's generation, it has reached the pinnacle of Peking Opera art, because Xiandao himself is a "theater fan".

In order to please Immortal Dao, Rukawa specially ordered people to select a troupe from the folk to perform in the palace, and the performance was "Chu-Han Struggle".This song is about the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Chu and Han were fighting, Xiang Yu was trapped in Gaixia, and it was difficult to break out.

The whole play is very exciting, especially the last scene, Xiang Yu broke out from the siege and fled to Wujiang, he felt faceless to see Jiangdong's elders, so when he killed himself by the river, Xiandao watched with enthusiasm, and immediately applauded when the song was over Said: "Okay, okay."

Seeing that he was happy, Rukawa also showed joy, but Anxi, who was listening to the play, looked displeased and kept sighing.

The sighs finally caught Xiandao's attention, and he asked: "My lord, why are you sighing? Is it for state affairs? Your sighing makes me feel that I shouldn't be listening to the show at this time."

Anxi immediately said that the emperor is diligent in government and loves the people, so why not listen to a play and relax occasionally, but...

Xiandao became more and more curious. If it's not that he can't listen to the opera, then why?

So Anxi took a step forward, bowed and said, "I beg the emperor to give me a song."

"Oh? What do you want to hear?"

""Han Palace Autumn"!"

As we all know, "Han Palace Autumn" tells the story of Emperor Han Yuan being threatened by the Huns and forced to send Wang Zhaojun out of the fortress to make a marriage.Insinuating that Emperor Han Yuan, as the king of a country, couldn't even protect his own woman, which eventually turned into a tragedy of life and death.

After Xiandao heard this, he was very angry. Isn't Anxi's move just "pointing at Sang Sang and scolding Huai Huai"? .He just wanted to speak, but Anxi said again: "Although the emperor is not the useless Emperor Han Yuan, and Xiaoyang Hall is not like that bitter cold place, but the old minister heard that Xiang Tian's health has not been good these two days, even though she has lost her virtue. First of all, but the emperor is a magnanimous person, the old minister guesses that the emperor will repay him with kindness."

Anxi's words were impeccable, leaving Xiandao speechless, and making Rukawa grit his teeth with hatred. He glanced at Anxi, but he didn't expect that Anxi also looked at him with neither humble nor humble eyes. At that moment, Rukawa Unable to hide his guilty conscience, he slightly tilted his head to one side.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiandao said: "Okay, let's drive Henry Zhang Temple!" After speaking, he got up and left the table.Seeing this, Rukawa immediately took a step forward and said, "Let me go with the emperor."

Xiandao worried that Yayoi would vent his anger on Rukawa, and advised him not to go.But Rukawa said he wouldn't care, so Xiandao nodded in agreement.

In this way, Rukawa walked forward behind Xiandao, but he never dared to look at Anxi again.

The moon is bright, the wind is quiet, and the leaves cover the window lattice

Bugs are flying, flowers are drunk, baby, go to sleep

-

Before the group entered Henry Zhang's Palace, they had already heard the lullaby, and the crying voice contained grief, sadness, and endless thoughts, which made people weep uncontrollably.

Walking into the main hall, Xiandao was stunned, but in just a few days, why did Yayoi become like this?She was sitting in the corner, hugging the pillow, her hair was disheveled, her face was haggard, and she sang this sad lullaby over and over again...

Xiandao's heart softened, he felt that what he had done to Yayoi was too much, he wanted to comfort her, but as soon as he walked to her side, Yayoi hid everywhere as if going crazy, hugging the pillow tightly in his hands, bitter in his mouth Begging Xiandao to let her and her child go.

Seeing this, Anxi took a step forward and said to Yayoi, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has come to see you."

Yayoi's eyes like a pool of stagnant water finally became turbulent. She looked up at Xiandao, seeming to recognize him, but also seemed not to recognize him, and said over and over again: "Baby, my poor Child, mother knows that you were murdered by a traitor, you died a terrible death, a terrible death..."

Rukawa, who was standing aside, was worried about Dongchuang's incident at the moment, so he winked at Shiozaki.After Shiozaki understood it, he stepped forward and said to Yayoi: "Ma'am, this is just a pillow, not your child." Then, he went to grab her pillow.

Yayoi refused to follow, and started to yell, but what came out of her mouth was all crazy and nonsense.

Seeing this situation, Xiandao immediately asked Rukawa: "Feng'er, isn't there anyone who asked for her pulse?"

When Yayoi heard the word "Feng'er", she immediately seemed to think of something, and before Rukawa could reply, she pointed at his nose and cursed: "Rukawa Feng, you are the one who killed me Child!" As she spoke, she tore off the hairpin from her head and stabbed at Rukawa.

Maybe it was because he couldn't dodge it, maybe it was intentional, in short, Yayoi scratched the back of Rukawa's hand.

When everyone saw this situation, they pulled Yayoi away one after another, but Yayoi still shouted: "Your Majesty, wake up, for the sake of Daqi's country, you can no longer pamper this evildoer! He can't give birth to children, Your Majesty!" ..."

Xiandao looked at Rukawa's wound distressedly, instead of ignoring Yayoi, he glared at Anxi: "King of Xiangbei, you let me come, I have been here, and now you are satisfied?!" After finishing speaking, he left Henry Zhang with Rukawa In the palace, Anxi was left alone, with a lot of regrets and regrets.What he regrets is that the late emperor had taken care of him to help the Aida clan, but he failed to do so; what he regrets is why Rukawa and Xiandao fell in love at the beginning, why he couldn't stab this evil obstacle to death with a sword so that he could get rid of it. everything today...

It was night, and Xiandao reviewed the memorials in Xuanzheng Hall until Haishi.

To say that Yayoi's crazy words really didn't have any effect?Not necessarily, although Xiandao ignored her, but a thorn was stuck in his heart after all, every time he thinks about it, he always feels a little uncomfortable, as for what makes him feel uncomfortable, he can't say.

Just as he was thinking about it, the cross-country around him saw that it was getting late, so he asked him whether to drive Feng Yadian.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiandao said, "Forget it, let's stay in the Xuanzheng Hall."

So this night, Xiandao did not sleep with Rukawa for the first time...

Besides, Nan Lie, ever since he refused to accept Sakuragi as his apprentice in front of Miyuki, he became everyone's public enemy overnight.

Ito Koren said he was ruthless, and Miyuki Haruko blamed him for not helping him. Even Mitsui didn't understand what he was thinking, except for Fujima.

Seeing Nan Lie walking out in a hurry, he chased after him, grabbed him, and said, "I know you have difficulties, can you tell me why?"

"Why don't you accept Sakuragi as a disciple?"

"Yes."

Nan Lie thought about it, so he told Fujima what happened before his execution:

That was the first time Nanlie saw Beiye.That day, Kitano came to Nan Lie with the soul-breaking knife in his hand, and introduced himself.However, Nan Lie was not in the mood to listen at all, thinking about a person who is about to die, what does it matter if he knows the name of the executioner?Afterwards, Kitano asked him why he wanted to kill someone?Nan Lie didn't even raise his eyebrows, and replied that it was all in his file, so why bother to ask.But Kitano said: I want you to answer me yourself...

Having said that, Fuji really understands that Nan Lie wants Sakuragi to answer him personally.

But Nan Lie shook his head and said, "Before that, I have to go to Yizhuang first!"

Yizhuang? !

So the two came to Yizhuang, found Kiyota Nobunaga's body, and then uncovered the white cloth on it, only to see Kiyota's eyes glaring with anger, looking like he was dying, which was very scary.

Nan Lie and Fujima stepped forward to examine his wound carefully. After a while, Nan Lie sighed and said, "As I expected, it seems that Sakuragi killed Kiyota not by mistake, but on purpose."

"How to say?" Fuji really didn't know why.

So, Nan Lie motioned him to check Qingtian's limbs, and said: "His wounds are all on the wrists, knees, heels and other joints, which are obviously caused by attacking his tendons according to the human body's tendons diagram. "

Fujima suddenly became enlightened, and he followed Nan Lie's train of thought, and continued: "Qingtian's limbs and veins were broken at that time, and it was impossible to have the ability to resist. If Sakuragi was just impulsive for a moment, then he should Stop this fight immediately, but he didn't." Having said that, Fujima couldn't help but gasp, is this the Sakuragi he knew?The method is extremely cruel. Although it is judged to be a one-hook death, the root of the cherry tree does not stop after one cut, but keeps cutting at the same position, once, twice, three times, four times, until the blood is blurred and the face is blurred. Difficult to distinguish...

Nan Lie said: "He killed Qingtian not to save Qingzi, but to revenge!"

Teng Zhen looked at Nan Lie and asked, "So you don't accept him as an apprentice? But you also know that Qingtian is arrogant and domineering, and he has done all kinds of bad things. After all, he deserves his death."

Nan Lie showed a wry smile, he knew that Fujima would definitely say that, of course, he also agreed with Fujima's statement, so he said: "I am willing to give him a chance!"

……

After leaving Yizhuang, Nan Lie went straight to the prison, opened the door of the cell, and met Yingmu as he wished.He unlocked the iron locks on his hands for Sakuragi. Seeing this, Sakuragi said happily: "Master, I knew you would come to save me."

Nan Lie replied: "I'm considering taking you as a disciple."

As soon as these words came out, Yingmu immediately knelt down to thank him, but Nan Lie stopped him.Nan Lie told him that he had a few questions to ask him, as long as he answered them truthfully.

Sakuragi nodded in agreement.

Nan Lie asked, "Why did you kill someone?"

Sakuragi replied: "I thought he had defiled Haruko. You know, the voices of women are similar. It's not surprising that I think Mari is Haruko. Besides, Kiyota Nobunaga has done all kinds of bad things, and he deserves death."

Nan Lie asked again: "Now that the execution is about to take place, how do you feel?"

Sakuragi replied: "I am very scared. Although I keep saying that I am not afraid, I am actually very scared. For a while, I hope that moment will not come, and for a while, I feel that I am waiting to die and hope that this moment will come soon. In short, I am very scared. .”

Finally, Nan Lie asked again: "Do you have any regrets?"

When asking this question, Nan Lie suddenly remembered himself back then, when he said to Kitano: I regret, regret that I was drunk, regret that I killed someone by mistake, but I don’t regret staying in prison, because even if time can Again, I will still save that woman.In this way, Kitano appreciated his honesty and his calmness in facing life and death, and finally accepted him as a disciple and gave him a way out.

Now Sakuragi is also facing this question, what will be his answer?

Sakuragi replied: "I regret it. I was impulsive at the time, but I shouldn't kill people. I should stop when I hurt him. Although he is despicable, he is still a human life. He has parents, wife and children, and friends. It was my impulsiveness that caused irreparable harm to these people!"

What Sakuragi said was true, but Nan Lie couldn't listen anymore. He didn't know why until the last moment of his life, Sakuragi still refused to tell the truth, still refused to face his heart, such a person , he cannot be accepted as an apprentice.Therefore, he told him the details of how Sakuragi tortured and killed Kiyota Nobunaga one by one, and finally pointed out that he deliberately tortured and killed Kiyota to death, which made Sakuragi unable to quibble.After finishing speaking, he still locked the iron locks on his hands.

The door to the way of life was mercilessly closed again!

Sakuragi felt that these few conversations were dreamlike, so he grinned and said to Nan Lie: "Yeah, I lied to you, I wanted him to die on purpose, but the funniest thing is that you came here Ask me if I have any regrets, don’t you think he deserves to die? This kind of scum, I think I killed him too late, and killed him too happily, I should torture him a little longer..."

No matter what Sakuragi said, Nan Lie locked the door of the cell with no expression on his face, and finally said: "Let's think about what is left to wish." After speaking, he turned and left.

Sakuragi looked at the back of Nan Lie leaving, and shouted: "It's God's fault that I want to kill people to pay for my life, I'm right, give me another chance, I will still kill him, kill him ten times, Kill him a hundred times, kill him a thousand times, this genius is right, right!"

Sakuragi's voice was infinitely amplified, overlapped, and amplified again in the silent cell...

……

When death is approaching, everyone is sad.

Let me talk about Meixue first, because she was too sad, she was already sick and groggy, let alone receiving guests, even the few friends she visited on weekdays, she avoided seeing them, and asked Aunt Gui to refuse all visits for her, but the door There was still a knock on the door.

She got up tremblingly to open the door, and saw that the person who came was none other than Nan Lie.

Regarding Nan Lie, Meixue felt conflicted.Nan Lie once saved her, and she asked herself, she really loved Nan Lie, and she also imagined that one day she would be able to live together with Nan Lie after she regained her freedom, but now, the fantasy can only be a fantasy, and Nan Lie refused. From the beginning of her begging to accept Sakuragi as an apprentice, she no longer loved him, she even resented him, hated him, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Nan Lie didn't talk too much, and said concisely: "Come to fulfill Yingmu's last wish."

It turned out that when Miyuki wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river more than ten years ago, Sakuragi grabbed her and put a pair of straw sandals on her, which rekindled her courage to live.Now, he knows that his sister is sad because of his affairs, and may even do stupid things again, so he asked Nan Lie to give his sister a pair of embroidered shoes, so as to tell his sister that the road ahead must be strong. Going on, this true love is truly earth-shattering and touching.

After Nan Lie put on the embroidered shoes for Mei Xue, he stopped talking to him, got up and left Tianxiang Tower.

Besides, Haruko, she shed tears every day, and even wanted to go to Yangping to rob him, but she couldn't say it.Because letting Yang Ping go to jail is equivalent to ruining Yang Ping's life, Yang Ping regards her as a friend, she can't be so selfish.

Since doing nothing now is useless, it is better to be a hungry ghost than a hungry ghost, so it is Haruko's last wish to send a sumptuous Ciyang meal. She hopes that Sakuragi will be here on the way to the underworld. ,Good journey.

Mitsui led Haruko to Sakuragi's prison, and left in truth.

The two lovers looked at each other with tears in their eyes, but they were speechless.Haruko took out the dishes in the food box one by one, and even brought a small stove, lit it, and roasted sweet potatoes for Sakuragi to eat.

But how could Yingmu be able to eat it, before he took a few mouthfuls, he burst into tears.

Seeing this, Haruko gently wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Sakuragi, let's get married."

Yes, all along, Haruko was just an ordinary maid, either locked up by Aunt Gui in a wooden house in the suburbs and starved to death, or sold by Kiyoda as a flower girl, raped to death, in short, she did not end well.Today, it is precisely because of Sakuragi that she can live in Yushifu, and she can study in Bai'an Hall. Sakuragi has done too much for her. .

Sakuragi was moved, he wiped away the tears from Haruko's face, and comforted him: "I'm about to die, you will definitely find someone who can give you happiness in the future, but unfortunately that person is not me." A letter was forwarded to Miyuki, saying that if this was the case, he could go on the road with peace of mind.

Haruko immediately nodded in agreement.

After that, the two of them couldn't restrain themselves any longer, and burst into tears through a prison door...

Because he was worried about Haruko walking alone at night, Yang Ping waited outside the cell, ready to escort her home.After waiting for about an hour, she finally saw Haruko walking out with a tired figure.

Yohei said, "I'll take you home." After speaking, he suddenly noticed something strange on Haruko's head...
