Text Chapter 182 Fanghua is like a dream, gains and losses are free
The poem says:
Hate the favor with the emperor's heart, and the golden house is covered with old dust.
Moss marks are traced, and the shadow of the flower is soaked in the dew.
There are few heavy doors in the twilight, and the autumn fireflies are not in the palace.
Jun Ming still doesn't notice, and he is very jealous!
When Yuan Zhao entered the Changle Palace to greet the Empress Dowager Dou at a certain time, he once met the current Empress of the Han Dynasty, the famous Jinwu Zangjiao'er. However, she, like her mother, was a proud golden branch and jade leaf, and never disdained to pay attention to the sophistication of this mortal world.
At this point, they are really far from Empress Hanwen, who has been in charge of the harem of the Han Dynasty for nearly fifty years. Since ancient times, loving mothers have lost many children, and the Empress Dowager Dou, who is resolute and strong externally, has poured all her tenderness into her children, but under her wings, she has maintained arrogance and pampering.
Gillian was born very beautiful, with the appearance of a captivating city and the most noble background, there are really not many things in the world that can enter her eyes. Even when she was sitting on the throne of the queen of the world, she didn't think it was a big deal in her heart.
If there is anything in this world that is worth fighting for at the expense of her dignity and pride, there is only one thing ~ the love in her life.
All the most affectionate people in the world have a kind of stubbornness, and even if they know that they are destined to stay away, they are reluctant to let go of the things they have always valued. Hope, disappointment, despair...... More disappointment, disappointment, despair! And so on, self-torture.
The flowers bloom and fall, the leaves are green and withered, several wind and rain, and the years are unforgiving. Quietly guarding the lonely days, the woman who likes to wear a palace makeup red gauze skirt is sometimes in a trance, she doesn't know her infatuation, and now, whether it is for that person or for the original intention.
"Gillian, if there is an afterlife, don't fall in love with your Che'er anymore! People's hearts are fickle, and so is he. The screen window is getting dusk, and no one in the gold house sees tear stains. The lonely empty courtyard is late in spring, and the pear blossoms are all over the ground and do not open the door. Have you been sad all these years? Do you have any regrets? Is there a grudge? Can there be sorrow...... For the original touching sentence, you waited for so much loneliness, and still have no regrets. But the man had already changed his mind, three thousand fandels, ten thousand bright colors, and the people who lingered among the flowers forgot this corner, and the promise was blown away by the wind without a trace. Not to be hurt by that persistent love, of course, the best way is to forget, but can you let it go......? ”
Her world is too small, like a beautiful canary that has been raised since she was a child, but she has come from one cage to another. She is rich and honorable in the world, and she is poor and lonely with only one heart!
When my mother entered the palace yesterday, she brought her a maid, who said that she was very sensible, and knew many musical instruments, and could dance beautifully. The eldest princess brought her here, hoping that she would add a little fun to her daughter's lonely palace life.
Gillian didn't take it to heart, she just had an extra palace maid. Her heart is so thick that no one can dissolve it, except to return to those times that have not been tainted by betrayal.
The autumn days begin to get shorter, and when twilight falls, the Jiaofang Hall is lit up everywhere, and the elegant palace and pale pink walls glow with some dreamy colors.
At such a moment, Queen Gillian likes to sit in the courtyard with a breeze, although the stone bench is already a little cool, but this coolness seems to make her heart less angry, and there is a lot less crankiness in her mind.
When she was a girl, a boy once sneaked out of the palace with a few guards, and was busy in the back mountains for half the night, just for the joke she had said, she wanted to pluck the stars from the vast night sky and put them on the roof of her house.
That autumn night, her wish was fulfilled, and the fireflies in the room decorated her dream ....... Although the fireflies died the next day, the little prince named Yan'er was also beaten by the emperor because he left the forbidden palace privately. But the tears she dripped from the wound on his buttocks were sweet.
It's another autumn night, but things are not people, and the sorrow is the same. How can you spend such a lonely night?
"Queen Mother, the weather is cold and the dew is heavy, please change your clothes."
The voice was very good, Gillian seemed to be awakened from the memory, turned sideways, and the woman named Chu Yu held a half-kan cloak in her hand, shook it gently, and draped it on her body.
Chu Yu's arm was very white, Queen Gillian's heart moved, she smelled a very good fragrance, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, which was moving.
Gillian has liked to collect all kinds of flowers since she was a child, and when she was in the eldest princess's mansion, she planted a lot of flowers and plants around her boudoir, and all kinds of spices were available.
At this point, it was not in the mood of the emperor. Because, Liu Che didn't know what was wrong with his body when he grew up, he was born allergic to the strong aroma of fat powder, and as soon as he touched these smells in his nose, he kept sneezing and shedding tears. Therefore, the balsam used by the beauties in the harem is also as light as possible, for fear of violating his taboo.
Gillian has always ignored this, in her heart, what she likes, he must also like it unconditionally. Just like she wants stars, he will find a way to satisfy her. Only then can she know how much he really cares about him.
Now, since he hasn't come to Jiaofang Hall for many years, she won't care about that. Therefore, the whole Queen's Palace is filled with fragrance. It's just that today she smelled the fragrance of the woman next to her very specially, which she had never recognized before.
"Your name...... It's called Chu Yu, right? Why did you come here, I don't know if the palace will be very stuffy? ”
Gillian didn't know why she suddenly spoke to a maid who had just come to the palace to serve, maybe it was this twilight that aroused some kind of emotion in her. Maybe it was because that little bit of care was crashing into her soft mind. She smiled slightly, rarely seen.
"Queen Mother, you look so good when you smile, your beauty is something that the slave has never seen!"
Chu Yu grew a pair of cunning and agile eyes, with a southern accent, which sounded soft and sweet. She was twenty-five or sixteen years old, about the same age as the queen, tall and tall, if it weren't for the different clothes of the two people, she really looked like sisters.
No one doesn't like others to praise their beauty, and the conceited Gillian is even more so in this regard. Hearing such a beautiful voice, and it was sincere from the heart, she was naturally very happy.
"Hehe, your mouth is sweet. Well, what incense do you use? It smells very special. ”
The corners of Chu Yu's eyes curved, and her smile had a kind of bitter charm. If you look at her, you'll fall into it before you know it.
"Queen Qiyu, the raw material of this incense is a special product of the slave's hometown, from the depths of Daze, there is a strange crown wood, blooming this flower, processed by a secret recipe. Because this tree only grows here, it only blooms once a year, and is not visible anywhere else, so it is extremely rare. This incense is named Phantom Cloud Incense. It's rare for the queen to like it, but it's a blessing for slaves. ”
After speaking, Chu Yu had already taken out a delicate rouge-colored wooden box from his sleeve, and sent it to Gillian with both hands, signaling for delivery.
Gillian is a woman who likes perfection, especially for these special and rare things, she has a great affection. When I saw such an elegant thing, I already liked it in my heart.
"Chu Yu, since this kind of thing is so rare, it can't take away the beauty of people, just open your mouth what you want, and I'm willing to give it to you in exchange."
"Where did the queen mother speak! Slaves and maids can have the opportunity to come here to serve you, but they don't know how many lifetimes they have cultivated. These small objects, in fact, have their spirituality, in the hands of the slave is wasted, only to the queen mother's side, in order to complement each other, by your peerless elegance, they live up to their appearance in this world. ”
Gillian listened to this heartbeat, she had never heard of such a statement before. I couldn't help but look at the woman in front of me again, secretly a little curious.
"Hehe, your words sound novel. Okay then, I'll take it. Chu Yu, you can stay by my side in the future, and you can often talk to me. ”
A smug look of some kind of calculated success passed through the corners of his mouth, and quickly disappeared. The woman named Chu Yu bowed down and saluted respectfully, thanking the queen for her affection.
Soon after, the sound of the guzheng of Qingyue began to sound between the carved beams and paintings of the Jiaofang Palace. Circling around the beam, it is very good. Gillian, the queen of the big red palace makeup, quietly looked at Chu Yu, who was three feet away from her, with a faint liking in her eyes.
The dark fragrance is full of sleeves, the bright eyes are smiling, the green silk is wrapped around the jade wrist, and the red dust is dyed with eyebrows!
A woman dressed in moon-white splendor with her hair upright, playing a pleasant sound seriously, her face is handsome, her curves are exquisite, and the silhouette on the side has an indescribable taste.
When the wind blew, the soul of the owner of the Jiaofang Palace, which had been dry for a long time, seemed to have a trace of moisture, and he actually had nostalgia for the scene in front of him.
"Chu Yu...... Thank you for a wonderful evening. ”
The love silk is delicate, the aftersound is euphemistic, and the notes of the guzheng drift away with the autumn breeze and melt into the dark inky night sky of Weiyang Palace. Somewhere beside the railing of the high pavilion, someone listened attentively for a moment, and the intention of the song and the plan were already clear in their minds.
Legend has it in the world that Li Shaojun, an immortal master who is hundreds of years old, has his hands behind his back and looks up at the sky. Truth and lies, vanity and cultivation, to this day, he himself is a little confused about what he wants. But now that he has come to the present, he can only continue to walk, because he can't help himself.
How big the hidden power behind it is, Li Shaojun can't know everything. He is just a pawn that force has pushed into this world. A man of great intelligence like him is just a pawn inside.
The sound in the guzheng is very special, and if you distinguish it carefully, you will understand the meaning it is trying to express. Of course, this is a clever means of transmitting information between them, and outsiders can't figure out the meaning of this even if they want to break their heads.
He knew that Chu Yu, who had come to Chang'an with him, had already entered Weiyang Palace and had gone to the most core place. There, a deadly temptation and storm began to brew at the same time.
"Even if the final plan succeeds and the assigned task is completed, I and that woman will not be able to save our lives, right......?"
After a long time, before the star disappeared after watching it for a long time, the man who was respected as an immortal master by the people in the palace finally walked downstairs slowly, and a faint sigh disappeared in the darkness behind him.
On the same late autumn night, different from the soft red three thousand zhang in Weiyang Palace, outside Chang'an City, at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, a night hunt is being carried out in the horseshoe trampling.
Night hunting has been a special way of hunting since ancient times. Because large animals and ferocious beasts are generally active at night, it is best to hunt them at night to capture them.
Night hunting, as you can imagine, is several times more dangerous than during the day, not to mention the fact that they are facing some fierce beasts, and non-daring warriors are not competent. Although it is a bit dangerous, it is also a good opportunity to exercise one's personal abilities.
Yuan Zhao didn't have much interest in this kind of thing, and with these skills, he might as well get a good night's sleep. But the hospitality was difficult, and he had to come.
Someone else's invitation can be turned down for reason. General Fei's face is always to be given, not to mention that he is now in a low period.
Two months ago, the Yanmen Pass was victorious, and the Black Eagle Army inflicted heavy losses on the Huns for the first time and made great achievements. Later, the Han army of the northern frontier front in Yanmen, Yuyang, Shanggu, and Yunzhong counterattacked on the whole line under the emperor's order, and the Huns saw that they could no longer bargain for anything, so they had to retreat to the grassland in disgrace. The crisis of the war was fully lifted, and the Han army also won the victory for the first time in the many years of war with the Xiongnu without taking the initiative to seek peace.
Whether it is the northern frontier or the imperial capital Chang'an, the subjects of the world are in high spirits for this. All people of insight have a premonition, or expectation. This victory will be a landmark moment, or the beginning of a great turning point.
Since the siege of Emperor Gaozu Baideng, the history of humiliation of losing coins with relatives for more than 70 years may be gradually washed away from today. The revenge of those Han family sons who died under the iron hooves of the Hun scimitar will be repaid with the blood of the enemy!
With such sentiments, a month ago, the Han troops who had begun to withdraw from the front line in northern Xinjiang to aid the Han army were warmly welcomed, no matter how much they had made contributions. Outside Chang'an City, the treatment of the Black Eagle Army was even more grand.
This heroic cavalry team, which was personally given the title of "Great Han Eagle" by today's son, in addition to the main general Wei Qing was crowned a marquis in the first battle, more than a dozen captains also received rich rewards. The whole army was given great honors.
The veteran Li Guang also stepped down from his post as the Taishou of Beiping by order, and returned to Chang'an with the Black Eagle Army, the arrow wound on his arm was not treated in time because of the military emergency, and it deteriorated somewhat, so he needed to come back for treatment.
Seriously speaking, under the emergency situation of the Xiongnu attacking on all fronts at that time, if Li Guang had not personally gone to Yanmen to sit in town and preside over the overall situation, the situation might have been even worse. In the later period, he organized and coordinated the counteroffensive on the whole front, and his contribution was indelible.
However, when he was still on the road back to Chang'an, a lot of excerpts were already on the emperor's desk. The Tingwei Mansion even proposed that someone be sent to the army to arrest Li Guang immediately, and the Tingwei confronted him and asked him how he came back after being captured, and whether he had reached a deal with the Huns for some invisible people...... Wait a minute.
The emperor suppressed all these twists and turns, and together with the opinion of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, he did not agree. What kind of people is Li Guang's family, since Li Mu's generation, the reputation of loyalty and martyrdom has spread all over the world. When it came to their father and son, there was never anything wrong with guarding the country and the palace. It's just an occasional mistake, it can only be said to be bad luck, how can it be attributed to such a thing as defecting to the enemy, doesn't this hurt the hearts of the soldiers?
However, although the emperor forcibly suppressed these noises, they were already boiling through the spread of well-intentioned people inside and outside the court. Of course, there are a lot of old people in the Li family's army, and Li Dang is still in command of the Yulin Army in Weiyang Palace, such a situation, of course, can not hide from Li Guang.
Although General Fei is a fair and upright person, he cares more about his reputation and the reputation of the Li family in Longxi. Therefore, the people have not yet arrived in Chang'an, and the sin has already been passed on in advance. He was willing to resign from all his positions, unload his armor and return to the field, and ask the emperor for approval.
The emperor was a little embarrassed. Of course, he will not let this military general return to the countryside and grow old in the forest. But now that the court is in a sensitive period, some of his plans are being quietly arranged, and he doesn't want to stir up a big storm because of this incident, so maybe his political reform will have extraneous branches and many unknown variables, which he does not want to see.
After much consideration, the emperor finally approved General Fei's request for resignation in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs at the court meeting, but not because of the crime of defeating the army, but to let him recuperate from his injuries and recuperate for a period of time. Secretly, Liu Che sent Han Yan to send Li Guang a letter written by the imperial pen to comfort him and calm his heart.
Although the Huns have temporarily retreated, they will make a comeback at any time, this veteran general who has been in the border for more than 20 years and has rich experience is still the pillar of the Han army! Therefore, the emperor's use of people's wrists, between flipping, is still very measured.
Li Guang temporarily resigned from all his duties, but he felt much more relaxed. Especially this victory against the Huns, I personally participated in it, compared to the personal gains and disgraces, what is the value? For the sake of this country, the north and the south, most of the life, Rong Ma can take this opportunity to take a good rest, why not.
There is just one inconvenience, the general has been in the army for a long time, and suddenly he feels uncomfortable. Especially in Chang'an City, there is no place to even run horses. So, after staying in the house for less than three or five days, he came to Changle Plateau, and spent most of the autumn thereafter.
Li Guang didn't come alone, he was like those old men at home, and even brought his favorite grandson with him. The eldest grandson of the Li family, Tiger Head and Tiger Brain, is very cute. He is the widow of General Fei's eldest son Li Shuye, who died heroically eight years ago.
"Lao Li, this grandson of your family is named Li Ling? Hehe! Well, I promise you, I'll let him stay with me from now on. ”
Hearing Li Guang finish talking about the purpose of bringing his grandson, Yuan Zhao did not hesitate, and agreed to his request with a smile, but there was a strange look hidden in his smile.
