Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

When such an embarrassing thing happened, anyone who cherishes feathers would not want to have any unclear relationship with it.As long as His Majesty does not have a clear order for a day, General Genji can only stay in the Erjo Courtyard.How those who admire him write letters to comfort him, or how to avoid him is not the most interesting thing at present.

Your Majesty has not invented the decree, and the fate of many people is unknown.

Honghuidian is pressing questions almost every day, and I must ask Imamami to give a clear answer.It's just that at the very beginning, she was stopped outside the Qingliang Hall, and could only shout and curse at the inside angrily.Then he united with some ministers from the previous court to petition for the decree, as if he would not give up.

As for Minister Zuo, he has done a lot to protect Genji and Donggong. It is embarrassing to think that he has lost his daughter in old age and has to worry about this unworthy son-in-law.

And His Majesty is naturally in a state of desperation, and is so troubled by this that he doesn't want to read any memorials.That week's snow-white Mutsu paper was full of great truths, flying and dancing, which shows how excited the people who wrote the memorial were.Just looking at his words, I feel like a real person is arguing righteously in front of me.

Suzaku's eyebrows twitched and his head hurt, he threw the memorial and rubbed his forehead painfully.

The memorial happened to hit the feet of Ying Gongxia who stepped into the palace.Hotaru picked it up, glanced at it, and put it into the sleeve without any fluctuations in expression.Then he walked behind Suzaku, pinching the acupoints on his temples for him with moderate strength.

"How did you get to such a point?" Suzaku's voice was filled with hate and annoyance, revealing deep helplessness at the end of the sentence.

Yingying didn't speak, but her eyes were attracted by the snow-white exposed on the back of Suzaku's neck.His eyes were fixed on it, he rubbed it lightly with his hands, and then said casually: "It's not surprising."

Knowing that he was right, Suzaku couldn't refute anything.He only sighed wearily: "You were right at the beginning, I shouldn't have taken chances to cause such a disaster."

"It's not your fault why you took the blame on yourself," Ying smiled, and put the memorial in her sleeve on the pile on the table.Glancing left and right, he said, "This posture is almost the same as last time."

Yinggong naturally refers to the fact that the officials wrote a letter asking His Majesty to rush to the harem.It's just that before His Majesty had a unified reply last time, there was news that the late emperor was critically ill.

Speaking of this, Suzaku frowned, which had been slightly relaxed.His eyes darkened, and he expressed great difficulty for what might happen next, "...the first emperor's anniversary is approaching, if this matter is not resolved early, it will be more than a disaster if it is brought out to make a fuss at that time gone."

"Indeed," Yinggong nodded, and sat down opposite Suzaku, "You have already made your decision."

Suzaku stared at Hotaru's smiling eyes, and nodded reluctantly.Yingying laughed when he saw this. From the beginning to the end, he never felt any embarrassment about this matter.As if it was just a trivial thing, as simple as picking up a pen, or raising your hand.

Seeing that His Majesty was silent, he said: "Last time when I was by the Yuchi, I asked you: If something really happened, which one would you protect, but you didn't respond to me. Have you thought about it this time? If you make up your mind , I will help you with the rest of the matter."

At that time, His Majesty did not think that things would happen so quickly.It was because of his evasive thoughts that he always felt that the matter would not be so serious, if he could protect one, he would just protect the other.

However, there are too many people involved.And in comparison, the weight of the priorities is naturally not comparable.He didn't even need to worry about anything, he already had a choice in an instant.

However, he kept silent for a long time, but he was thinking about whether there was a possibility of safety.But I can't even think about it, Yingying's understatement also broke the last illusion.

Yingying didn't mean to help from the beginning to the end, so naturally she wouldn't meddle in her own business afterwards.He is willing to help himself to deal with this matter, so that both parties can have a more decent ending, it is already a kind of luck.

This is obviously something that should have been understood a long time ago, why did it only become known now.Since the last time, I have become more and more cowardly and evasive, blindly retreating, this is really disgusting.

In his heart, His Majesty detested his ignorant appearance for many days, and still felt ashamed of the people involved in this matter.He made a choice, which must mean that some people have been given up——

"After thinking about it, this is the most appropriate way. If it really gets to the point of swearing to the death, what face would I have? Such a master has failed."

"This is too much to worry about. The world is in such a good situation, how can they really 'swear to die'?"

Ying stood up, very satisfied, and raised a strand of long hair from Suzaku's sideburns to her lips for a soft kiss.I could only hear his deep voice slowly flowing, "I will handle this matter for you, and the result will definitely satisfy Suzaku. But when the time comes, don't forget how to thank me."

After finishing speaking, he took his leave from Qingliang Hall and strode away from the Imperial Palace.

In a gloomy and cold weather, the very desolate Ertiao Courtyard in front of the gate welcomed a very distinguished guest.Because there has been no visiting guests for a long time, the doorman is used to the excitement and can only doze off boredly.Hearing the sound of calling the door, I thought it was my hallucination.

Naturally, he felt extremely annoyed when his dream was interrupted.With a bad attitude, he tore open a crack in the door, and shouted impatiently: "Who, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

But as soon as the voice fell, he was so frightened that he rolled to the ground.When he came to his senses, he scrambled and ran over, opened the door, and went in facing the shaft.

Fortunately, this kind of noble person didn't take him seriously. After breaking out in a cold sweat, he finally let go of the heart that jumped to his throat for a long time.

When Mr. Genji came out to greet him, Ying Gong was looking at the rockery in the courtyard.He was only dressed in a half-worn attire, and the color and color of his clothes were very low-key, which matched today's weather very well.In contrast, General Genji is more beautiful and handsome.

After being welcomed into the house, as soon as the curtain was opened, a strong fragrance was smelled.Ying asked Guangjun next to him, "Is it the newly made incense?"

"Nothing can be hidden from you," Guangyuan smiled and nodded.

After Yinggong sat down, he didn't say why he came, but sipped his tea and asked casually, "What have you been doing these few days, Brother Huang?"

"It's just reading a book and playing the piano." At this point, Guangyuan is open-minded and not as nervous as before.The arrival of Yinggong today brought the final result.Whether it is good or bad, he has to accept it.

"Eastern Palace has been doing this for the past few days, but..."

Guangjun hesitated a little, "...just what?"

"It's just that he is always asking when the emperor can enter the palace."

"Under the East Palace..."

Mentioning His Royal Highness Quan, Genji felt great grief.It was he who should not be dragged down in this matter.And precisely because he and Donggong have the most inseparable blood relationship between father and son, this kind of pain is even more severe.

Thinking back to the days before, Quan seemed to have a gap with himself because of some things.Genji only treats his temper as a child, thinking that it is just some trivial things, not only does he not care, but also puts his mind on looking for flowers and asking willows.But now that the incident has come to this point, I am afraid that only Donggong's concern is the most innocent.

"This time... I am the one who is sorry for His Majesty Dong Gonggong."

Thinking of this, Genji finally couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing Genji's regretful and sad appearance, Hotaru couldn't help but sigh in her heart.But he didn't say anything about knowing today, such words are weak and useless.And from what Yingying said at this time, it would only be extremely false.

"If you really feel sorry for His Majesty Dong Gong, then make some compensation." Ying Gong said.

Guangjun wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked softly: "Has Your Majesty made a decision?"

"Indeed, Ying nodded, "Your Majesty is the most soft-hearted person, and he doesn't want to be punished by the court.Therefore, Brother Huang still needs to ask himself to write a letter, so there is still some room for maneuver. "

"You mean..."

"Brother Huang just needs to understand the meaning of my younger brother, and knowing that after making such a choice, both parties can live in peace. If there is a chance in the future, I will return to Beijing as soon as possible. The most important thing is that the East Palace will be implicated the least. of."

Genji thought for a while and immediately understood what Yinggong meant.He took a deep breath in his heart, thinking that this might be the best result.

"Thank you for reminding me, I'm really stupid, I should have confessed earlier if I knew about it."

"It doesn't have to be like this. This is also to fulfill His Majesty's love and brotherhood. It's just that the emperor will be wronged for a while."

"Where do you dare to talk about grievances? Seeking benevolence is the best result."

Mr. Genji stared at the water droplets on the short table, which faintly reflected his distressed expression.He accepted the reality, then smiled wryly.

What has been going on for many days has finally come to an end.Just when many people thought they would continue to quarrel, something unexpected happened to them.

Mr. Genji wrote a letter to resign from the position of general, and asked himself to exile Suma.Originally, he wanted to leave immediately, but His Majesty moved the time to after the beginning of spring on the grounds that the first emperor's anniversary was approaching.

And the guardian of Donggongxia has also changed from Genji Gongxia to Yinggongxia.There were some people who objected, but after searching and searching, they couldn't find a more suitable candidate.Then being severely reprimanded by His Majesty was making a fuss out of nothing, and then there were no objections.

As for the servant king who is recuperating at home, he must also be ordered to return to the palace to continue serving as the servant of the Royal Box Palace after heals up.However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this daughter no longer has any chance of becoming a female imperial concubine.

Such a result is the best result for both parties.But if they continue to fight each other, it will only be the result of mutual losses.This group of people are very wise, so naturally they just let it go.After flirting with each other with a word or two of insignificant warnings, they also agreed with this result.

Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager who was the most angry about this incident also intended to continue the quarrel.However, because of getting older, these years of dryness and fire have been attacking the heart, not only has he suffered from headaches, but his heart seems to be not very smooth.As a result, he was sick and lying in bed for a few days, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't have much energy to get angry.

But the most frustrating thing among them is the respected and respected Minister Zuo.

He has already experienced too many sad things in these years, and when he gets old, things will become more and more difficult, and he can't help himself.After a lot of hard work, I just feel disheartened.And running around on this matter drained his vitality even more, and he couldn't hide his tired oldness no matter what.

About the second day after the dust settled, Minister Zuo submitted his official application form.Frankly speaking, he is too old to be reused for the community, so he resigns from office and asks His Majesty for permission.

Not to mention that Emperor Tonghu relied heavily on this minister when he was still alive, even after Suzaku ascended the throne, he also valued this veteran minister very much.Seeing him so frustrated, His Majesty felt very sad.

But this matter is no small matter, and we should not agree to it just because of sympathy.Minister Zuo's appointment form was detained in the imperial case and was not released, and he did not respond to this matter.

And Lord Zuo asked repeatedly, and even asked His Majesty for instructions with a trembling voice during the court meeting.That earnest appearance made people feel extremely sad.But His Majesty was still unwilling to agree, and asked to stay again and again, and Minister Zuo stopped mentioning this matter and returned to the queue of courtiers.

So far, the turmoil has been settled, and the pattern of the court has changed again.But the wind in Yujing seems to be blowing slowly, but it always brings out things that people are caught off guard when people don't expect it.Who knows where the wind will blow next time, or whether the previous ravages were just dormant for a while.

This is as difficult to discern as the will of God, and I am afraid that even the wisest people in the world can't figure it out.What a foul-smelling silt hides behind that burst of prosperity, if someone disturbs it, how many people will get stuck in it and never get a chance to escape.And how can the people standing on the shore be sure that they are safe and sound.

After December [-]th, the first emperor's anniversary.For this reason, the king of the middle palace presided over the Dharma assembly of the eight lectures of Fahua.The atmosphere was dignified and sacred.Everything is carefully prepared, from the scriptures recited daily to the jade scroll, the cover of the brocade, the decoration of the anecdote, etc., all of which are exquisite and unusual.

It is the most important thing to hand over this matter to Zhong Gongxia.Her status is appropriate, and she is extremely careful even for ordinary objects, let alone such a big event.In particular, the decoration of the Buddha statues, the covering cloth of the flower table, etc., are even more gorgeous, just like in the Paradise of Paradise.

The entire imperial palace seemed to be recovering from the previous incidents. Everyone was full of energy, holding their breath to do the things they were responsible for.

I hope this Buddhist event can be held smoothly, and there will be no more heartbreaking mistakes.Everyone clasped their hands like this and prayed devoutly.
