Body 1001 A Thousand and One Nights
Li Hong kicked away Xiao Baiqi who wanted to follow him to the car, Xiao Baiqi didn't dare to resist, he ducked to the side with his tail between his legs, and then looked at Wu Mei with some pity, as if he was asking for help, and he seemed to be complaining to Wu Mei that he was kicked.
But fortunately, Wu Mei's attention was not on Xiao Baiqi's body, as Li Hong opened the rear door, Wu Mei looked inside first, she was very familiar with the carpet under her feet, and the seat was also very familiar, all of which were made of good fabrics.
And there are two seats in front, and there is a circle on the left side, Wu Mei didn't know what it was for, but after bending down and looking inside the carriage, she withdrew and straightened up, pointed to the car and asked, "Is this palace sitting here?" It doesn't look as spacious as a carriage. ”
"This is at most a five-seater car, the back row is already extremely spacious, take the armrest in the middle, you can sit five people, but now there is only one person sitting in the back, and the armrest is down and your arm is more comfortable." The curtains hanging on the window glass were opened by Li Hong, and the rear armrests were demonstrated to Wu Mei again.
Wu Mei, who seemed to understand whether she understood or not, nodded, looked at the black and shiny car shell again, and then bent down and sat in the car under Li Hong's signal: "Where are you sitting?" ”
"How can Erchen have a seat, Erchen is responsible for driving for you." Li Hong smiled, then closed the back door for Wu Mei, and then ran around the car to the driver's seat.
Wu Mei's eyes followed Li Hong, watching Li Hong circle around the car for half a circle, and then opened the door and sat in front of her left, at the door with a circle.
"It's still good, it's more comfortable." After Wu Mei heard the roar of the engine in her ears, as Li Hong closed the car door, after isolating all the troublesome noises, she said with satisfaction: "Although Liangshan is very small, if you want to go around Liangshan, it is also very difficult, let's take the queen mother around this Liangshan today." ”
"You really don't plan to go back to Chang'an?" Li Hong put in gear, and then held the steering wheel, and after the vehicle started slowly, he asked a little inexplicably.
Wu Mei behind her didn't answer, and in the rearview mirror in the middle, both mother and son could see the expressions on each other's faces, but as the speed of the car became faster and faster, the carriage seemed to become more silent.
Looking at the scenery on both sides, it is different from when she sits in the carriage and enjoys it, in Wu Mei's heart, it seems that the scenery on both sides of the road at this moment is a kind of scenery that she is not familiar with, extremely unfamiliar, and travels through time.
It was as if their time was not moving bit by bit on a sundial, as if their time was flying at the speed of years, even decades, centuries, like the speed she could feel now, like the scenery outside the car window, everything became so unreal, everything became more and more blurry in front of her eyes, and before she could even see the truth, everything disappeared from her eyes.
"Chang'an is not the final destination after all, here...... Isn't it the final destination of the queen mother? After a long time, the mother and son in the carriage were silent for a long time, Wu Mei seemed to have just remembered Li Hong's question, looked at the blurred scenery outside the car window, and muttered.
"Well, wherever you are, your sons will serve you." Li Hong said with a smile.
Some things can be avoided, some questions can be avoided, but the answer is to surface after all, ten years, the queen mother endured ten years, and thought about it for ten years, and finally, at this moment, everything has to return to the origin ten years ago, back to the high main mausoleum of Qianling, back to Yuan Tiangang's four-character proverb: "Flying immortals outside the sky." ”
Perhaps, everyone in the current world is the reincarnation of their own in the previous life, and perhaps, everyone is in the six realms of reincarnation, because of good and evil into the six realms, and is reborn for things that failed to be fulfilled in the previous life.
The mistakes made in this life will be made up in the next life, the fate missed in this life will be continued in the next life, the people you have loved in this life will be reunited in the next life, and the love owed in this life will be repaid in the next life.
In the rolling red dust, countless loves, hatreds, joys and sorrows, in the context of the great era, in the long river of history and time, with small waves to form a symphony of the world.
If there is really reincarnation, if there is really reincarnation, if Huangquan Road, Lechuan River, Nai He Bridge, Wangxiang Terrace and Sansheng Stone really exist, maybe we just forgot who we were in the previous life.
In the dark, everyone we meet in our lives, everything we do, perhaps, is because it is closely related to the previous life, or maybe you in the ninth and tenth lives, but you have never remembered the original things.
"Xuan and Xuan, if people are really as you say, in that case, this palace should think about it, in the last life, who is the queen mother!" Wu Mei had an antique wooden box in her hand, which she put on her knee and slowly opened it.
"This wooden box has never been opened since Bai Chun handed it over to me, and I don't know what happened today, so I suddenly brought it with me." Wu Mei lowered her head, took out the paper inside, looked at the words on it and said, "Yuan Tiangang said four words: flying immortals outside the sky." Li Chunfeng left eight words: the six realms of reincarnation, reincarnation of the ninth life. It's in line with what you just said. ”
"From the moment he was born, from the moment the queen mother hugged her son to the moment she opened her eyes, her son was able to remember a lot of things, and even knew all the things in the world. Didn't you always say that when your son was the prince, he was still able to govern the world with ease, and when he was a contemporary king, he could still be unpredictable, but after becoming the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he was ...... in handling government affairs. ”
"Tell me, then, what will happen to the Queen Mother? If...... What if you don't remember what you remember, what if nothing has changed? Wu Mei put one hand on the armrest, shining through the mirror in front of her, and looked at Li Hong, who had a somewhat complicated expression.
"Is it recorded in the history books?" Li Hong slowed down the car, and the mother and son still chatted calmly.
"Perhaps, you were too smart back then, but the queen mother needs you to be as smart back then, and even a little smarter the queen mother will like it very much. The cynic said: Great wisdom is close to demons, great goodness is close to hypocrisy, you are not good but close to demons, right? Wu Mei's expression did not look complicated, and even had a hint of calmness.
"Actually, it's better to be wise and foolish." Li Hong glanced up at Wu Mei in the reflector, smiled and said, "Erchen has been very afraid of his mother since he was born, after all, ...... The queen mother is famous ....... ”
"Ruthless, right?" Wu Mei smiled, glanced out the window with some self-deprecation, and said: "Queen Wang, Concubine Xiao Shu, etc., the palace back then was full of sinister, who doesn't know the origin of the queen mother?" If you want to continue to gain a foothold in the palace and do ordinary things, the queen mother will already be a pile of white bones. Your sister is less than two months old, but ...... The queen mother is not like this, how to be based in the harem, and how to create a better identity and status for you, as the so-called mother is expensive by her son, if you are not too cautious, the queen mother may not be ...... But you were only two years old at that time, and the queen mother didn't see much ....... ”
"Until that night, after Erchen read the poem in his palace, did the queen mother keenly aware that she actually wanted to gain a firm foothold in the harem, and relying on Erchen was enough?" Li Hong smiled bitterly, if it is calculated like this, he will also have a share in his sister's death.
"I thought about it this way, when I couldn't sleep well, when I hoped to give birth to another sister for you, but when I gave birth to Li Xian, Li Zhe, and Li Dan, the queen mother would hate you at that time, if I had noticed your intelligence earlier, and realized that you were close to a demon and an unpredictable prophet, maybe I wouldn't be a poisonous woman." Wu Mei rubbed her chin and muttered out the window.
Back then, she strangled her daughter with her own hands, causing her to toss and turn every night and couldn't sleep, whenever she saw Li Hong and other brothers and sisters enjoying themselves, her heart hurt like being pricked by a needle, and even she could feel that her own heart was broken piece by piece.
What's more, Li Zhi really didn't notice it at all? Maybe you won't notice it at first, and you may be able to hide it for a year, two or three years, but how can you hide it for a lifetime?
But I have to say that Wu Mei's feelings for Li Zhi in her heart, as well as Li Zhi's pure love for her, made her feel guilty and gave birth one after another, and finally after giving birth to Li Lingyue, the princess, the husband and wife were willing to give up.
It can be regarded as from that time on, there is really no estrangement between the husband and wife.
"History books can't really evaluate a person, what's more, before my Tang Dynasty, the history books still had a very positive evaluation of you, and the orthodoxy of Confucianism has not completely dominated it, so your evaluation is very high, after all, ......." Li Hong glanced at the dragon mother behind him, who was a little distracted, paused and said: "After all, you are the first female emperor of the ages, except for you, no one can be the same as you." ”
"The Female Emperor?" Wu Mei came back to her senses and looked at Li Hong with some astonishment, could it be that according to the original history that this kid said, she still achieved that step? How? Why do you do this? He has four sons and a daughter, how can he be the emperor after Li Zhi's death?
"Yes, so how dare Erchen disrespect you, and how dare he behave too much in front of you at a young age?"
"You're demonic enough, just look at the records of the real historians in the palace." After Wu Mei finished speaking, she continued to look at Li Hong, waiting for Li Hong to further explain to her why she was called emperor and king in the original history.
To her, it's like listening to a story that has nothing to do with her, but it seems to be another story, and she has some expectation in her heart, but she will never feel disgusted.
"How stupid do you four brothers have to be so that the queen mother is finally forced to be the emperor and continue the national fortune for the Tang Dynasty." Li Hong, who looked like he was organizing words and like a memory, paused Wu Mei and sighed softly.
"It has nothing to do with Erchen, Erchen became the prince at the age of four, but died of illness at the age of twenty-three, and was posthumously presented by his father and you as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, nickname: filial piety, and was buried in the mausoleum built by Li Ye for his son." Li Hong was relaxed as if he was talking about other people's things.
But Wu Mei's heart tightened when she listened, and she felt uneasy, after all, Li Hong is now forty years old, if he dies of illness at the age of twenty-three, what will he do in the future?
strangled a daughter to death with his own hands, is it possible that more than 20 years later, he will not be able to watch his eldest son die of illness? This...... How did you bear such a blow!
"Died of illness in the Qiyun Hall in the Luoyang Hebi Palace?" Wu Mei's heart tightened, and she suddenly remembered that when they were in Luoyang Palace, because there was no rain in Luoyang for a long time, Li Zhi privately ordered the release of the hot air balloon with thunder.
And at that time, seeing that the hot air balloon with the thunder was about to float towards the palace where they were, Li Hong rode his horse in Luoyang Palace, and finally stopped the hot air balloon from floating to this side, but when Li Hong shot down, it happened to blow up the Qiyun Hall of Hebi Palace, and Li Hong was also seriously injured in that accident.
"How do you know, could it be that the memories of your previous life also remain?" Li Hong smiled, looked at Wu Mei in the reflector and asked.
"That year, you begged for rain in Luoyang Palace, your father privately ordered the release of hot air balloons, you were seriously injured near the Qiyun Palace, when the queen mother rushed over, I thought you were dead all the way, at that time the queen mother's mind was blank, just begging God not to take you away, I really can't imagine what it would be like in the future if there was no prince who could make the queen mother and your father happy. What's more, after you said this, the queen mother also remembered that you were exactly twenty-three years old that year. Wu Mei muttered as she recalled the past.
The car continued to walk along Liangshan, and I don't know why, when passing by the convoy of Li Lingyue and others, Li Lingyue and the others did not stop it, as if everyone knew that there was His Majesty and the Queen Mother in the car talking about the heavenly machine, so they stood on the side of the road one by one, saluted solemnly, and then looked at the car and went away.
Wu Mei and Li Hong did not stop, and the atmosphere of the mother and son is a little subtle now, as if they are telling a fairy tale story together, and it is also like recalling the relationship between their mother and son for many years.
"Yes, Erchen also thinks that he can't escape the fate of history, but he doesn't want to let Erchen come back to life." Li Hong shook his head and said with a smile while driving.
"Then it should be Li Xian as the crown prince later, no wonder Li Xian competed with you for the crown prince back then." Wu Mei felt as if she was in a world that was half real and half illusory, and some of the so-called original historical trajectories that came out of Li Hong's mouth, after her speculation, seemed to be able to find the slightest clue.
Li Xian was also called Prince Zhang Huai by later generations because of the Zhang Huai Note he wrote back then. In the second year of the show, my father was unable to go to court due to vertigo, and most of the affairs in the court were ......handled by you. Li Hong didn't know how to say this, after all, whether it was the queen mother or Li Xian, it was not at all on the original historical trajectory.
"Your father was seriously ill, you died of illness, Li Xian was made the crown prince, and the government was taken care of by the queen mother. With Li Xian's character, since he is the crown prince, he naturally has to be in power, so there will be friction between him and the queen mother...... Won't he be exiled to Bazhou by the queen mother in the end? "Wu Mei is worthy of being the only woman who can be the emperor, and her mind is extremely agile even now, and she can guess a rough idea by following the slightest trace of what Li Hong said.
"Yes, Li Xian was exiled to Bazhou, and was forced to commit suicide by Qiu Shenji." Li Hong nodded, but still replied truthfully.
"Is that Qiu Shenji, who is now working in Li Xian's palace? You arranged it by heart, right? Wu Mei was stunned, and she couldn't imagine that according to Li Hong's description, Li Xian would die like this.
At this time, Wu Mei felt that she was listening to Li Hong's story, telling a story that was completely different from her own experience, but made her look forward to it, and even she faintly looked forward to it, as Li Hong continued to tell, how she ascended the throne as the emperor in the end.
The car circled around Liangshan, but did not return to the foot of the courtyard, Wu Mei did not speak, Li Hong did not finish, the two seemed to know each other, the car seemed to follow the wishes of the two, and slowly drove in from the entrance of Qianling.
This day seems to reveal a difference from the beginning, just like meeting Li Lingyue and them halfway, after entering the Qianling Tomb, Li Hong and Wu Mei found that it seemed that the entire Qianling Tomb had become empty.
The Jin Wuwei, who had been guarding here all the year round, didn't see a single one, not even anyone else, and the whole Qianling seemed very quiet, except for their mother and son, no one was here.
"Li Zhe'er has soft roots, and it is very easy to be encouraged by others, if you die of illness and Li Xian commits suicide, after Li Zhe naturally becomes the prince, he will not be able to govern the Tang Dynasty well, and sooner or later he will be harmed by the people close to him. So from the perspective of the queen mother, Li Zhe will not be able to escape the doom in the end, right? But....... After Li Hong opened the door, Wu Mei, who slowly got out of the car, frowned and thought for a while, and continued: "But the queen mother should not harm him, at most she will be exiled, she has already forced one Li Xian to death, and the queen mother should not force another one to death." ”
In the end, Wu Mei couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, let out a long sigh, and said with some melancholy: "Li Dan is the same, he has no backbone, and he is close to Li Lingyue, just like you are so very favored now, sooner or later...... Something is going to happen. ”
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, even the royal family can't escape these, so over the years, what the sons can do is to let them not touch the rights, even if it is Li Xian, the sons have never killed him, even if the sons and daughters were coerced by Li Xian in the Pei Wangfu with you and the emperor, the sons have never really killed them." Li Hong put his hands behind his back, side by side with Wu Mei, and slowly walked towards the huge stone gate of the main tomb of Qianling.
And I don't know when, the little white and the tiger girl, but slowly walked out from the side left and right, as if they were extremely psychic and extremely tacit, the tiger girl slowly walked to Li Hong's side, and Xiao Baiqi slowly walked to Wu Mei's side.
The two tiger wolves who were raised as pets by the royal family, one left and one right, were extremely tacit, and silently followed behind their owners.
"If the queen mother wants to ascend the throne as the emperor, it must be more difficult, even hundreds of times more difficult than abolishing Li Xian and the three of them, so presumably after the queen mother ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, she will also kill a group of people to suppress opposition, right?" Looking at the huge Qianling stone gate from afar, Wu Mei felt that her words were as if Li Zhi, who was immersed in the stone gate, could hear them.
"The queen mother ascended the throne as the emperor, changed the name of the country to Zhou, there are virtuous ministers and cool officials around her, Di Renjie, Zhang Cambodia, Heng Yanfan, Yao Chong, Jinghui, Lou Shide and others, all of whom have been entrusted by you to reuse ......." Li Hong looked at the huge stone gate, as if he was talking to Li Zhi in the mausoleum.
"The cool official asked the queen mother to guess for herself, the Jingwei in Bai Chun's hands has killed a lot of inexplicable people over the years, and even those people have not done anything at all, but after determining their identities, they all died in vain, and later Wang Lou once told the queen mother that the deaths of these people are vaguely related to Jingwei. For example, Nalai Junchen, Zhou Xing, Suo Yuanli, Hou Sizhi, and Xue Huaiyi, etc., did the queen mother also reuse these people after she ascended the throne? Since you want to reuse the cool officials to suppress different voices against the queen mother, then you have to have a word of blame, so you have always opposed the copper kuang proposed by the queen mother a few years ago, right? Wu Mei looked a little old, touched the little white head next to her, and then looked at the tiger girl beside Li Hong.
A tiger, a wolf, after all, the tiger won the wolf.
"Just as Erchen just said, after Confucianism occupies a dominant position, the evaluation of you will be greatly discounted, especially after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, after the change of dynasty, in Confucianism and a few more great Confucianism, when the concept of female inferiority and male respect is becoming more and more prevalent, the evaluation of you is becoming more and more biased. But...... No matter what later generations say, the queen mother, you inherited the prosperity of the rule of Zhenguan, and were recognized by later generations as having the ...... of Zhenguan's legacy. ”
"Men are inferior to women? Hum! If the queen mother really ascends the throne as the emperor and changes the Tang Dynasty to the Zhou, even after death, she will never set up a monument and write a biography, I want to see how their Confucian sons will judge the palace! "The martial arts at this moment show its majestic and majestic side.
Even Li Hong next to him, as well as the tiger girl who had been following him, took two steps back involuntarily.
"It's just that the world is unpredictable, but fortunately, the queen mother has not become the empress in your mouth. The fall of the Tang Dynasty and the change of dynasties are inevitable facts, and it is not something that anyone can change, but ...... The queen mother doesn't want to know about the afterlife, if the queen mother dies, you can also have this blessing, the queen mother will remember all this, the queen mother will take a good look, the high-rise buildings you talk about, those cars that are better than your car, those planes that can carry many people, flying back and forth in the sky, and I want to see what our earth is like, whether the land is really much smaller than the area of the sea. I want to see if the world in a thousand years is really as you said, finally abandoning the Confucian doctrine that has plagued our entire nation for thousands of years, and realizing the equality between men and women that my Datang enjoys today. Wu Mei stroked the huge stone door and muttered to herself.
"Equality between men and women? Hehe, perhaps, it should be said that women are inferior to men, and men are afraid of their wives and mothers. Li Hong also walked to the huge stone gate, looking at the huge stone gate, as if as soon as he pushed it open, Li Zhi would come out of it with a smile on his face.
"In this case, then listen to the queen mother and help the queen mother to build this Liangshan into the most ideal home for the queen mother. White up, back to the courtyard. Wu Mei looked at the huge stone door and patted it, as if saying goodbye to Li Zhi inside.
