Chang'an ancient meaning

The name of Huixinyuan was taken by Mrs. Wang after it was abolished that day.After Gaozong abolished the Wang family and the Xiao family, he imprisoned them in a cold palace.But I don't know why Gaozong remembered the old man that day, just like Wu Meiniang, who was moved by his compassion and stepped into the Ganye Temple to find the talented person of the late emperor, this benevolent emperor went to the forbidden courtyard alone to visit him Wife of married couple.When he saw the unkempt Wang family and Xiao family imprisoned inside the ruined earthen wall, he couldn't help feeling sad and called out, Queen, Concubine Shu.Perhaps this unfeeling call gave Wang and Xiao hope to see the sun again. Wang still maintained the calm demeanor of a family woman in captivity. Change the name of this courtyard to Huixin courtyard, and demote concubines to slaves to serve the family."

Gao Zong wept and left. He made a promise to the two women, exactly the same as the promise he had made to Wu Meiniang of Ganye Temple that day. His sentimentality single-handedly created a bloody and ridiculous reincarnation in his harem.This time the empress did not leave any room for the emperor's sentimentality. She decisively threw Wang's and Xiao's sticks one hundred times each, cut off their limbs and threw them into the wine vat.After hearing the eunuch's report on the conversation between the emperor and the two sinners that day, the queen accidentally retained the name "Huixinyuan", which became a light tease of the victor for the dead soul of his old enemy.

Regarding this past, Li Chengqi also learned from the chats of the court ladies and eunuchs that he had visited the Daming Palace many times in the past few months, but he never knew that the forbidden courtyard of the Lenggong Palace with unjust souls floating in it actually existed in the Dragon Tower and Phoenix Palace. Que under a shadowy corner.

Li Chengqi couldn't walk on his legs, and was carried out of Wanchun Hall by the servants on a rattan bed. He was in a daze, and he could smell the fragrance of flowers and plants in the air in the summer night, and he heard the cicadas singing from tall willows, and he didn't know where he came from. The orchestra that comes with the wind.The night blurs the majesty and unique meaning of the palaces and pavilions in the daytime. The dots of palace lanterns are like stars in the Milky Way falling into the world one after another, reflecting the golden and green of the Chonglou and Edian, reflecting the splendor and splendor of the painted walls. Li Chengqi is like a sinking Into a continuous prosperous dream.

He raised his head with difficulty, and saw a warm yellow moon rising just now, just hanging outside the willows planted by the palace wall.The long branches are swaying in the evening wind, the bright moon and clear light reflect the shadow of the willow into the melting water of the Yugou, and the dark green light and shadow flicker gently in the ripples that arise from time to time.Li Chengqi's buttocks were numb from the pain, and his heart was empty. On the contrary, he was not very afraid of where they would take him, but instinctively felt that there was infinite tenderness and sweetness in this hazy and quiet scene.This was supposed to be the bright moon and willows that the two of them came to see together, but Hua Nu couldn't get in, and he couldn't go back by himself.At this time, Hua Nu must be looking at the bright moon in his mansion, counting the time to wait for him to come back, maybe he even set out wine, waiting to spend this summer night with him, even the wind is full of sweet fragrance, but he is responsible again. his wish.In his life, he has always seen the most beautiful scenery in the world again and again, but has no choice but to pass by.

I don't know how long I walked in the corridors with multiple walls, the lights gradually became scarce, and I could only see the flowers, trees, trees, mountains and rocks collapse by relying on the clear light of Su Yue.Walking to the gate of a small courtyard, Zhang Yizhi's shoulder stopped in front of him, and a servant went to open the gate. Suddenly, there was a sound of clanging iron chains in this deserted place, which made Li Chengqi tremble.The all-too-familiar fear came to mind. It turned out that he had changed from Luoyang to Chang'an, but what awaited him hadn't changed at all.

The servant lifted Li Chengqi up from the rattan bed, Zhang Yizhi also got off his shoulders, and followed into the courtyard.Because the courtyard hadn't been used for a long time, the servants hadn't lit the torches in a hurry, Li Chengqi couldn't see the things in the courtyard clearly, but first smelled a strong musty smell, which made him feel almost ashamed when he just came out of the fragrance of flowers and trees. Want to gag.Zhang Yizhi also frowned slightly, and took out the incense veil to cover his mouth and nose.

After the torch was lit, Li Chengqi saw that the courtyard was only a few feet square, and was divided into two by a prison door. The servant opened the door, placed Li Chengqi on a pile of straw, and put the torch on the door. I saw that on the other side of the prison, there was still a skeleton thrown around.There was a violent convulsion in his abdomen, and he didn't care about the wetness and filth on the ground. The wall made of loess mounds was covered with moss and cobwebs, and he just subconsciously tried his best to move towards the corner.

Zhang Yizhi paused in the courtyard for a moment, getting used to the breath a little, then put down his veil and approached Li Chengqi.He carefully lifted the lower skirt of his robe, squatted down beside Li Chengqi, and said with a smile, "If Your Highness is afraid, I just need to say a word, and I will send you out immediately. Your Highness, such golden branches and jade leaves, are only born in Yuyu Huatang. Why suffer in this ruined wall?" Li Chengqi suppressed the annoyance in his chest and closed his eyes, Zhang Yizhi said with a smile: "The reason for His Highness's insistence on refusing to marry is because of the phrase 'Parents hate each other' , because you are sick of King Liang?" Li Chengqi gritted his teeth, he only wished not to hurt his father at this moment, and said in a low voice: "What should be said, I have already told the Zhai family." Zhang Yizhi smiled and said: "At this moment, only Your Highness and Yi For the two of you, Yi Zhi might as well speak out for His Highness, His Highness really dislikes the county lord’s family background, just marry him and put it on the shelf, and the house wants a marriage with Li Wu, so why should Your Highness offend Shengyan and take punishment for himself?” Li Chengqi was silent. For a moment, he said: "The county lord is innocent, to bully the former is unbelief, and to blame the latter is unrighteous."

Zhang Yizhi stared at Li Chengqi for a moment, then suddenly giggled, only to make Li Chengqi feel a chill, he said: "Let me guess, is there really someone in your Highness's heart, who can't tell the world, and can't tell the parents?" Li Chengqi shuddered Suddenly opened his eyes, and lost his voice: "You, don't speak nonsense!" Zhang Yizhi became more and more aware, and said with a smile: "Although Yi Zhi is not sensitive, the person in His Highness's heart can make a rough guess." Li Chengqi was trembling all over. He forced himself up while trembling, Zhang Yizhi's handsome and coquettish face was blurred by the firelight, so close to him, he was more like a ghost than the skeleton.He panted and said in a low voice: "I don't know who Mr. Zhang is talking about."

Zhang Yizhi chuckled and said: "A sage forgets his love, the worst thing he can do is not as good as his love, and what he loves is in my generation. Your Highness's obsession makes Yi Zhi appreciate it. I just want to advise His Highness, Your Highness is the attention of all the ministers and people in the world." My nobleman, the sins of love affairs are harmless, if you lose your life, you will be unsustainable. Here, the moon is white and the wind is clear, and it is time to meditate quietly. Your Highness has figured it out, just send someone to call me." He stood up, walked to the door, and With a smile, he said to the servant: "Extinguish the torch, so as not to hurt His Highness by walking in the water at night."

After Zhang Yizhi and the servants left the gate, they heard the sound of the lock being locked, and then the whole courtyard fell into darkness and silence.Li Chengqi lay prostrated on the pile of moldy straw. He was sweating through his heavy clothes when he received the cane just now. At this time, he was extremely thirsty and wanted to ask for a sip of water, but there was no one in the courtyard.He saw a dilapidated porcelain bowl on the ground outside the prison door. He barely stretched his arm over the wooden railing and dragged it as far as possible, but he saw some dark brown things dried up inside the bowl. Under the dim moonlight, he couldn't tell whether it was blood or mud. .He thought of the Queen, Concubine Xiao Shu, and the skeleton under his feet. He withdrew his hand in shock, wiped his clothes vigorously a few times, then wiped his cheeks with the sleeve of his jacket, which was still clean, and moved his face to his arms. Going up, he clenched his teeth and suppressed the urge to vomit.

Even though it was early summer, the damp and damp underground still seeped into his bone marrow fiercely, soaking all his bones and making him feel numb.There was a burning pain on his buttocks, and he expected that the pants had stuck to the wound. He knew that if he dragged on like this, he would suffer even more pain from the wound in the future, but he was really powerless to take off his shirt, so he could only let it go. The pain continued.

He thought of Zhang Yizhi's few words just now, and still couldn't help trembling with fear.He has no contact with the Zhang brothers. Although meeting in the palace is inevitable, he has never had a conversation. He doesn't know why those evil eyes can penetrate into his heart so clearly.If he insisted on refusing to marry the county magistrate of Fangcheng, what would Zhang Yizhi do?Just confine him to death like this, or use flower slaves to coerce him?

The full moon in the east shines brightly on the ground, and casts a clear light on him without hesitation, Li Chengqi feels anxious and powerless in his heart, this moonlight also shines on Hua Nu.What is Hua Nu doing now?Father is out of the palace, presumably Hua Nu will also know his news, must be worried about him?He promised Hua Nu that he would discuss with him before making a decision, but he missed the appointment again.

Every time he makes Hua Nu worry, for so many years, he waits for Hua Nu to come to see him, waits for Hua Nu to save him, he enjoys Hua Nu's devotion and beauty, but he can't do anything for Hua Nu .He knew that Hua Nu and himself would eventually need to enter into a marriage in the world of mortals, but he deluded himself into thinking that the happy time in the past six months could last longer, longer.He woke up countless times in the night of trembling happiness and fear, looked at the handsome smiling face beside him, and silently prayed to the sky in his heart: he would exchange his next 30 years of life for three years of companionship without troubles and mist.Unexpectedly, his time was mercilessly divided until it was inevitable.

The chirping of insects came from the weeds all over the courtyard, which became the only sound in this deserted courtyard.Li Chengqi listened quietly for a while, and said silently in his heart: "The weeds and insects, the scorpions. I didn't see a gentleman, and I was worried. I saw the stop, and I stopped, and my heart fell." He only saw the flower slave. At that time, he felt peaceful and joyful, but he didn't know what to do with Hua Nu.

Early the next morning, Princess Taiping came into the palace. She waited for a long time in the cruise ship in Penglai Pond, only to see Zhang Yizhi coming in a white summer shirt with flowers blowing willows.The servant on the bank knelt down to Zhang Yizhi and took him into a small boat. Zhang Yizhi said with a smile, "I can row this boat myself. Go ahead." At the place, I folded a small early-blooming water lily, put it on the bow of the boat, a little haggard, and sang in my mouth: "Recalling the plums going down to Xizhou, folding the plums and sending them to the north of the river. The single shirt is red with apricots, and the two temples are the color of young crows. Xizhou Where is it? Two oars cross the bridge. At dusk the shrike flies, the wind blows the black mortar tree..."

When the boat connected with the Taiping cruise ship, he picked up the lotus and put it on the Taiping painting boat. He sang: "The wind in Hainan knows what I want, and I blow my dream to Xizhou." On the bun.Taiping looked back at him coldly, raised his hand suddenly, and slapped Zhang Yizhi's jade-like cheek.

The corner of Zhang Yizhi's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to touch his cheek, but he still smiled as usual, and said with a smile: "The princess wants to fight, and change the place. How can I see the Supreme?" Taiping sneered: "Go yourself Tell the supreme, I am rude to you, let the supreme deal with me." Zhang Yizhi smiled and said: "The princess is Yizhi's benefactor, thunder and rain, Yizhi is happy. The princess is here for His Royal Highness Shouchun County. Asking about the crime?" Taiping said angrily, "You must be tired of working if you dare to touch Feng Nu! I warned you to keep your own law and order, and you have nothing to say about my Li family's affairs!"

Zhang Yizhi paced a few steps in the boat, walked to the crystal curtain, stretched out his hand to pull the bead curtain, and there was a pleasant ding-dong sound.He chuckled and said: "Princess has a husband in her heart, an elder brother and clan, and a thousand miles of mountains and rivers in the future. In Yi Zhi's heart, there is only Zhai Family. What Zhai Family likes, Yi Zhi should do it with all his strength. This is Yi Zhi. Take care of yourself and keep it to yourself." An angry look flashed across Taiping's eyes, his shoulders moved slightly, but then sank again, and he said with a light smile, "I know, now Zhaijia obeys your brother's words, why am I still with you?" in the eyes."

Zhang Yizhi smiled and said: "The princess wants to warn me, don't forget where I came from. But princess, I, Zhang Yizhi, am the grandson of Duke Ding of Beiping, the first son of the prime minister's family. I am not Feng Xiaobao, a street rascal, nor am I a refiner of aphrodisiacs." Shen Nanliao, if the princess only takes Yizhi as a house slave, then don't blame Yizhi for being rude." He bowed to Taiping, resolutely brushed aside the crystal curtain, jumped into the boat, swung the boat away, this time What he sang was a horizontal blowing song he made himself: "The chivalrous man pays attention to his kindness, and his horse is decorated with gold. Hearing about the rumors, he galloped to save the frontier. Too white, the little woman complains yellow..."

Taiping sat on the boat and watched the boat sail through the waves, while Zhang Yizhi stood at the bow of the boat singing and walking, just like a banished fairy.The female officer standing beside him said angrily: "If it wasn't for the princess, he wouldn't know where he is as a diner at the moment, how dare he be so rude!" Taiping smiled softly and said: "The Zhai family let him control the crane mansion, this young child really thinks My wings are gradually growing, and I can sing in Jiugao and be heard in the sky." The female officer said worriedly: "They are now in the royal family, and the princess will be at a disadvantage if they turn against them at this time?" Taiping raised his hand and gently stroked the lotus at the temple , smiled lightly and said: "Of course I am not strong enough alone, if they are really pressing every step of the way, my two elder brothers may not be willing to sit still and wait for death."

When Zhang Yizhi returned to the palace, Zhang Changzong came up to meet him, and was surprised when he saw Zhang Yizhi's face: "Who did the beating?" Zhang Yizhi waved his hand to dismiss the maid, and said with a smile, "Apart from her, who else in this palace has the courage?" Zhang Changzong was even more surprised: "Princess Taiping? But because of the Shouchun County King? Alas, I winked at you at the banquet yesterday, but you ignored it. It doesn't matter to us whether the Shouchun County King loves to marry or not. "

Zhang Yizhi said with a smile: "Letting Li Wu get married is the biggest wish of the Zhai family right now, but it has been disturbed by this little county king who doesn't know how to praise. Let's starve him for a few days first. If he obediently marries the daughter of King Liang, the Zhai family and Liang The king will remember our contributions. If he doesn't agree..." A fierce light flashed in his peach blossom eyes, and he said coldly: "Let him die in the Huixinyuan, the Zhai family is the most hated by all descendants It's no pity for him to die."

Zhang Changzong said urgently: "Princess Taiping has always treated Li Chengqi like a parent. How can Princess Taiping let it go when he dies? Earlier we offended the Wu family for the establishment of the crown prince, but now we have offended even the only backer. How can you and I live in the palace?" where?" Zhang Yizhi sat down in front of the mirror, took a good look at it, and said, "I have to go to the lake with my family in the afternoon, so I have no choice but to apply some powder." Zhang Changzong sighed, and took out the powder box. , bent over to put some hu powder on his brother's face.

Zhang Yizhi looked at his younger brother's childish face, and said with a smile, "You take Princess Taiping as your backer? Since the moment you and I entered the palace, our backer has only been the Zhai family. The previous move was made by me." Wrong, I always thought that Li Xian would be grateful to us if he helped Li Xian. Hmph, now I understand that Li Xian is weak and incompetent, and he is better than Li Dan. He only has his wife, children and younger siblings in his heart. When he becomes the throne, you and I will die Before Wu Sansi!"

Zhang Changzong's hand trembled, and the powder puff in his hand fell on the dressing table, and the powder fell like a fine snow.Zhang Yizhi smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? As long as there is a house, they will do nothing to us." Zhang Changzong said anxiously: "But, after all, she is an old woman in her seventies..." Zhang Yizhi squinted at him and said: " You and her have become popular every night, she is like a seventy-year-old woman? In the past few years, it is enough for you and me to do things." Zhang Changzong was shocked: "Do things...you, what are you going to do? Fifth brother, are you Are you crazy! You want to fight with the Li family? They are legitimate sons and daughters of phoenixes and dragons, what do we have to fight with them?"

Zhang Yizhi melted a little rouge in his palm, patted the other cheek a few times, and said with a sneer, "You have also read books. When the Overlord of Chu was young, he said he could replace him. What's more, the Great Zhou Dynasty is between you and me now." At hand, we don't let him go, Li Xian and Li Dan can't get involved at all. I imprisoned Li Chengqi this time, just to try the Li family. Li Chengqi is really going to die. Taiping and Li Dan will be in chaos. There will be loopholes, and we just took advantage of the power of Zhaijia to cut them off in one fell swoop!"

Zhang Changzong was so frightened that tears filled his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice, "If we are not close, how could the Zhai family attack their own children and grandchildren for us?" , It’s just to seize the world of the Zhai family. The Zhai family alienates the prince and the courtiers, and only favors you and me. Do you think it’s because of your good skills in bed? Don’t worry, she can’t do without us.” Zhang Changzong looked at his elder brother That red Ruowodan's face was stunned.
