fluttering night wind

One month after Xiao Rongyue escaped from Shengle, Murong De issued an order to enter the East Palace with Miss Xiao Er and the girl from Dugu's family.

On the last day of June, it was clear and refreshing to look around, and when the south wind came, Xiao Yu sent her sister to the double ques of the Changhe Palace.The eldest grandson Wuji and the palace servants of the Prince's East Palace had been waiting there.

Under the twin ques, there is joy and entertainment.

Xiao Danyue looked up at the twin towers piercing into the sky, suddenly her heart was shaken, and she took a step back. Seeing this, Xiao Yu stretched out her hand to hold her wrist.

"From then on, the entire Xiao family and I are your backers."

Xiao Danyue turned to look at her elder brother's face, the golden steps on her head could not shake, clear tears welled up in her eyes, she threw herself into Xiao Yu's arms, and burst into tears.

Even the appearance of crying is so similar to Rongyue, Xiao Yu has a lot of feelings and can't help but hug her.Xiao Danyue trembled like a frightened deer, Xiao Yu took the opportunity to whisper in her ear: "The daughter of the Dugu family is not your match, but if you want to keep Liu Jieyou alive, Shu'er is still young, you can't do without her."

These few unsightly words of his ruined the meaning of parting and the relationship between brother and sister.The tears in Xiao Danyue's eyes were immediately withdrawn.She broke free from Xiao Yu's arms silently, there was only a faint trace of tears on her cheeks, and there was no tear in her eyes.

Xiao Yu nodded approvingly, took out a "Ksitigarbha Ten Wheels Sutra" from his sleeve, and handed it to her, saying: "An unbearable immobility is like the earth, and deep meditation is like a secret treasury. These sixteen words Give it back to my sister."

Xiao Danyue made a big gift and said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to my brother and father's trust."

Changsun Wuji waited patiently for their siblings to say goodbye before coming up to help Xiao Danyue.A group of people waited for her to get on the shoulder car and walked towards the palace gate.

Changsun Wuji pointed out from outside the shoulder: "Miss Xiao, the young master is still looking at you from under the door, you can take a look."

"No need." Xiao Danyue still spoke softly, blowing like blue, but there was a bit of determination in her soft voice.

A gust of warm south wind blows away the fringed tent on her shoulders, and the jade curtains covering the tent are tinkling, and she smells a bloody smell from the wind.

For the Southern Dynasties, the summer of this year was really unusual. Yongjing was captured by the Shu army in early July, and was retaken by the government army only three days later.

In August, the King of Shu's injury became more serious.

Ruoshui Palace was dead for a while, and even the noisy cicadas on the tree were ordered to stick them up, so as not to affect the recovery of the King of Shu.

Mrs. Bi Yuan, the concubine of the King of Shu, waited in front of the bed all day long. Seeing that the King of Shu was in better spirits this day, she remembered that the Prince hadn't come to pay his respects for a long time, so she ordered someone to bring the Prince over.

Mencius was lying between the mattresses, his complexion was ashen, he waved his hands weakly and said, "The sick room is unlucky, don't get sick."

Tears welled up in Biyuan's eyes, and she said: "My lord is very lucky, he will surely turn the crisis into safety."

The corners of Meng Ziyou's mouth curled up, and he teased, "No one will die, so why bother talking about such nonsense between you and me. I've been under fire and swords, and even when the time of death comes, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Ever since Biyuan knew him, she has always been used to seeing him pointing out the country and looking carefree, and she has never been so sluggish and depressed today.Sadness came from his heart for a moment, but he didn't want people outside the hall to hear him, so he cupped his face in both hands and sobbed softly.

Mencius sighed, unwittingly wanted to stretch out his right hand to comfort her, but when he moved his arm, a severed limb slipped out from under the sleeve, his chest shook, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Bi Yuan turned pale with shock, and immediately called the imperial doctor outside the palace.So there were people coming and going inside and outside the house, and there was a lot of hustle and bustle.

Mencius fell into a coma after vomiting blood, and did not wake up until noon the next day. As soon as he woke up, he ordered Shang Shu to order Li Zhiyuan to enter the palace.

As soon as Li Zhiyuan entered the hall, seeing the eyes of Mrs. Bi Yuan who was standing sideways, he knew that it was a flashback, and hurriedly bowed down in front of the bed.The dark wind in the palace suddenly rose, and the lights of the palace lanterns were blown, and the lights were extinguished and then restored to light, such as the third.

Mencius was able to stand up, leaning against a brocade mattress, and asked him to sit by the side of the bed. The clouds and wind were always calm, and he said without being bothersome: "The rivers and rivers of the Great Xia are going down, and all kinds of turmoil are going from one to the other. Xichuan This minister of the Liu family, during the Chongming period, saw the Wuhu raging in the Central Plains, and the court ignored it, so he went out to attack. If Ziying comes back, let it go. If she doesn’t come back, Xiyao will lead the officials and assist the prince in the future. Remember to fight against thieves Rejuvenation is his own business. Yizhou has mountains and rivers, if it is safe and self-protecting, indulges in pleasure, it is nothing more than a strong feudal clan. Shen Meng Xuelei cares about his family, and he is not enough to support his family. The prince is weak, and he hopes for everything Teach it from afar!"

Li Zhiyuan burst into tears, and said, "I dare not stay in a corner, but I must cheer up and do my best to do the king's work, and my righteousness will not be diminished." He paused, and then said softly: "My lord, don't worry about your majesty. I heard that After His Majesty appeared in Xinting, he immediately rushed to Xiangyang. Xiao Yuanzao took advantage of the military chaos in Yongjing and led troops south from Yanmen Pass to fight with His Majesty. After the incident in Xiangyang is over, His Majesty is thousands of miles away, but once he gets the news, he will rush there at night Come. May the lord protect the jade body so that it will be the hope of the world."

Mencius nodded with a smile, and said again: "The Liu family's royal aura is gradually disappearing, and all the feudal towns are entrenched. Fu Xi and Duan Hui's gangsters are not to be feared. Among them, only Bai Yansheng and Murong De should not be underestimated. Xi Yao We must persuade Ziying to abandon prejudices, join hands with the captives, form Murong De on the outside, resist the sound of the white geese on the inside, never indulge in personal relationships, and hand over the hegemony to others."

Li Zhiyuan nodded repeatedly, weeping uncontrollably.

Meng Ziyou suddenly lowered his voice, and said: "If Shen Yizhou can be used by Ziying, then let it go, if not, please get rid of this person. The community comes first in everything."

Li Zhiyuan was terrified, sweating all over his body, and nodded silently.

Mencius was about to speak, when a message came from outside the hall, saying that Prince Ai had come.After a while, the nanny brought the three or four-year-old little prince over, and Biyuan took over and carried him to the bed.The child was dressed in plain brocade clothes, stretched out his chubby hands, and called out to Meng Ziyou, "Weng Weng, give me a hug."

Meng Ziyou didn't take him over like usual, instead he pointed at Li Zhiyuan with a smile and said, "This is Li Lingjun, he will be your old man in the future, you should respect him!"

Li Zhiyuan was at a loss for a moment, Prince Meng Ai stepped forward and hugged Li Zhiyuan's neck, and the latter held the little soft baby, remembering that many years ago, by the waterside of Furong Pavilion, Yizhou Prince's Mansion, a large One or two figures shuttled in the mottled bamboo forest, splitting the flowers and blowing the willows, and the moon shooting the cold river.

Looking back on the past, with sad eyes, he turned his head to look at Meng Ziyou, and he was stunned.

The man leaned his head on the brocade mattress, looked at the ceiling, even though he was dying, he still had the momentum, his whole body was full of heroic spirit.

For a moment, there were sobs inside and outside the hall, vividly in my ears.

Li Zhiyuan thought that this man had been in the army for more than [-] years. He collected Jingxiang in the north and went to Jiangzuo in the south.Both the father and the son are lords, well-known ministers and good generals, and they are divided into guards. For a while, the starry sky is full of brilliance.

Today, the star fell, Xichuan was bright, and suddenly dimmed.

Besides, after Bai Yansheng sent Xie Feng away that day, he immediately left camp and returned to Pengcheng.

The [-] army left as soon as they said they would leave, and there was a great crowd of people and horses for a while. After Bai Yansheng came out of the big tent, he saw Zhao Yebai, his beloved horse tied to the wooden stake in front of the gate, and Xiao Rongyue was next to Zhao Yebai. The face whispers.Zhao Yebai usually has a bad temper and doesn't get close to strangers. He has kicked and injured many horse breeders, but under her hands, he is as obedient as a sheep.

He asked Sun Jiren where the man who sent the horse was.Sun Jiren thought for a while, pulled a soldier, and ordered to find someone.

Bai Yansheng looked at Xiao Rongyue's focused and joyful expression, and thought that if he hadn't given away his career for nothing, her beloved horse might not have died in the river. He felt sorry and asked Sun Jiren to help her choose a suitable horse for transportation.

After a while, the man who sent the horse also followed.The man washed clean and changed his clothes, he really looked talented, now he knew that he met the famous Xuanwei General Bai Yansheng that day, so he quickly clasped his fists and saluted.

Bai Yansheng learned from Sun Jiren that his name was Jiang Xilie and he was from Zhongzhou, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for delivering the letter for me. I promised a letter of 100 taels of silver as a thank you gift, why didn't Brother Jiang, it's too little ?"

Since Jiang Xilie's journey was safe and sound, he was willing to sell favors, show his integrity, and proudly said: "I was inferior to others back then. The general could have killed me, but he spared his life and asked me to send a letter here. It has been delivered, and there is not much to take from the things outside the body. What's more, the world is not peaceful, carrying money empty-handed, attracting attention, and the road is not convenient."

Bai Yansheng nodded appreciatively, and said: "A gentleman has the courage but not righteousness to make chaos, and a villain has courage but not righteousness to steal. If you don't make chaos and don't steal, you can be good friends. If Brother Jiang has nowhere to go, you can come to Xuzhou to find me. In the troubled times, even the worst ones can seek a stable life."

Jiang Xilie was moved for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "I still want to go back to my hometown in Zhongzhou to take a look. If the old mother is fine and everything is well at home, maybe I will go to Xuzhou to find the general and do my best." After he finished speaking, he was not too polite, and bid farewell to Bai Yansheng with his fists cupped. He borrowed a horse from the army to support his legs, and went straight back to Zhongzhou.

Bai Yansheng said that he would return to Pengcheng on the seventh day, and he arrived at the city on the seventh day.Sun Shuye and Li Xiangnan greeted him personally at the city gate.Sun Shuye said with a smile: "The general's trip will level the Jianghuai area, and Jiangdong will have no worries."

Bai Yansheng said helplessly: "It's been more than a month since I sent troops, and I haven't made an inch of merit. Why should Sun Ye hurt me? What happened to Yanfeng?"

Sun Shuye shook the feather fan and said: "The Shu army and Xiao Yuanzao fought in Yangcheng near Luoyi. Yanfeng is currently stationed in Xiangcheng. If Xuchang is available, I will order him to take it down."

Bai Yansheng thought for a while, and said: "This matter is too much for you. When I go back to Pengcheng, I have something important to do."

Sun Shuye was walking in front, but when he heard that he stood still under the city wall of Chuse in Xuzhou, he turned and stared at him and said, "Have you finally decided, are you going to see Liu Polu?"

Inside the wall is a family's abandoned house, the big house collapsed, the east kitchen was overturned, and the Mingtang was ruined.The walls are covered with moxa, the ground grows thorns, wild mice nest in barren steps, and mountain birds nest in garden trees.

The three small mansions are still intact, and the intact one is used as a study, facing the garden. Outside the door, there is a white-haired old man dressed in coarse cloth, leaning against the door frame to weave straw mats.

When Bai Yansheng and Sun Shuye came in and saw this scene, their noses were sore and their eyes were red, they almost shed tears.

Eunuch Gao heard footsteps, facing the scorching sun in the afternoon, he saw two middle-aged men walking in the courtyard.He has lived here for more than two months and rarely saw anyone, so he immediately stood up while leaning on the door frame.

Bai Yansheng walked up to him and bowed to the ground: "Eunuch Gao, do you still remember me? In the second year of Jingning, I had the honor to meet Eunuch once in Princess Huayang's Changchun Palace."

How could Eunuch Gao not remember his face, when he looked at him, his heart was broken, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

But a young boy's crisp voice came from inside the room: "Grandpa Gao, who's here?"

Sun Shuye was standing in the corridor, Bai Yansheng flicked up his brocade robe, and entered first, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please punish me."

The light in the room was dim, and a young man standing in front of the desk in front of the window suddenly stood up in shock. When he saw the kneeling person on the ground clearly, the brush in his hand fell to the ground.

The writing brush rolled along the bluestone brick floor to Bai Yansheng's eyes. This ordinary lake brush has a bald edge, and the bamboo body is polished brightly. Its owner seems to pour out all the resentment and sentimentality of the country's ruin and family destruction through it. onto the writing paper.

"You look up." The voice was still immature.

Bai Yansheng raised his head and looked forward. This young emperor, who was about ten years old, was yellow and thin, and his body was weak. The arm holding the desk was trembling. Only a pair of big eyes vaguely resembled the little prince on Liu Jieyou's lap.

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, treat all things as straw dogs, sages are not benevolent, and treat the common people as straw dogs. If you hear about it, you will be poor. It is better to stay in the middle. His Majesty once said this to his ministers at the lap of Princess Huayang." (39 chapter)

Liu Polu suddenly threw himself on the ground, with tears in his eyes, looked at him and said: "Aunt Huang told me that General Xuanwei is the pillar of loyal ministers of our court, and His Highness must treat him as a national scholar. , you must listen to General Xuanwei and the Tai Tuo."

When he mentioned Liu Jieyou and Xie Kun, Bai Yansheng's heart suddenly felt cramped, and the two of them looked at each other with tears in their eyes, choking silently.

After a long time, Bai Yansheng asked softly: "Your Majesty, please forgive the crime of treating your subordinates with carelessness. They have never met His Majesty, so they are puzzled. May I ask what happened that day? Why did the Supreme Emperor say that His Majesty is not here?" Now, why is Your Majesty here?"

Tears finally welled up in Liu Polu's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said: "That day when the army of Meng bandits went down the river and was about to arrive at Xinting, my father hurriedly abdicated with me. Come to Beijing to punish the traitors. Duan Hui and Fu Xi said that the foreign ministers are about to violate the capital, and the heroes gather. They have different ideas. Inland, return to Beijing after the Meng thief retreats. I don’t want to leave, I want to stay in the city and live together, so my father ordered someone to tie me into a carriage.”

When Bai Yansheng heard this, he also felt that it was extremely unimaginable. Liu Xie was so stupid that he not only abandoned the society and the people, but also kidnapped the deputy Chu and his colleagues. It is really stupid and stupid!

"I was crying all the time along the way. Duan Hui and Fu Xi thought I was annoying, so they urged my father to abolish me and make him the son of Prince Guangling. That day when Luan drove to Jingkou, my father came to my carriage in person and asked me if I would like to listen again. Let him say it once, and be an obedient little emperor." When he said this, his whole body trembled, and Bai Yansheng knew that he must have had some horrific experience, so he quickly stretched out his hand to pinch the acupuncture point on his wrist, and injected zhenqi into the meridians to help him He calmed down.

Liu Polu twitched for a while, then gradually stopped, picked up the previous words, and continued: "I answered my father, the Meng bandits hang thousands of miles away, and the soldiers are tired. Waiting for work, they will be broken. If you go to Yuhang, you will be defeated." This is handing over the family, the country, and the country to others, and the royal family is ruined. The emperor was very angry, saying that I am self-willed, unfilial and immoral, and I want to dethrone me as a fool for the people of the world, and replace me with the son of Guangling Prince."

When he said this, big tears flowed down his cheeks again, and he wiped them and said: "I was so scared and stupid, and I didn't know how to answer. Father threw a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and said to me : You are my direct child, the only flesh and blood in the world, and I will give you the last choice, which temple name you want after you die."

When Bai Yansheng heard this, his face was as cold as ice, he hated and was angry, is there such a father in the world?

"It was only then that I realized that my father really wanted to kill me. So I kowtowed to the ground in tears and said: A gentleman has nine thoughts, and my son is willing to be a gentleman."

That's how his temple name "Sizong" came about!

A ten-year-old child chooses a posthumous posthumous name for himself. It is chilling to see and sigh forever!

"After my father agreed, I picked up the porcelain bottle. I was afraid that my father would scold me for fear of death, so I drank it in one go. The poison was neither bitter nor sweet. I drank it fast, and I choked it out a lot. Look at it, my father. I drank it and got out of the carriage with a sigh. After I finished drinking, I felt cramps in my stomach, and I disappeared after a while. When I woke up, I was taken out of Jingkou by Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao was an imperial physician when he was young. He was purged because of a mistake, and he was proficient in medical skills, saying that I didn’t take much poison that day, and I still had one breath, so he saved me.”

Bai Yansheng sighed unconsciously, people really can't be judged by their identity or gender, there are good and bad among eunuchs, just like there are good and bad among Hu people.

"After I woke up, the world was vast, and I didn't know where I was going. Eunuch Gao said that when Aunt Huang was still in Yongjing, she entrusted me to General Xuanwei and the Taifu. The Taifu stayed behind, and now Yongjing can't go back. Go, General Xuanwei's younger brother is in Xuzhou, why not come to Xuzhou to have a look. We pretended to be grandparents and walked all the way from Jingkou."

The turmoil in the world is vicious, thinking that he is a nobleman with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, but he is living among the people and living in a deserted house.

Bai Yansheng felt desolate, nodded his head and choked with sobs, and said, "I deserve death for my crimes, and made Your Majesty miserable and homeless."

Liu Polu shook his head slowly, helped him up and said, "I don't blame the general. I have no virtue and incompetence. Jianghuai is a rich and prosperous place. I traveled all the way, and I saw starvation everywhere, and the bones were exposed in the wild. The feeling of Maixiu is not unique to the Yin Ruins. , Mi Li's sorrow, faith in the Zhou family."
