Chapter 434: Endless Life
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
(a)
Before you left Yunjing and returned to the northern route, you left me a box of peach tree seeds.
I followed Liu Shen to the mourning hall of the Lingnan Palace to pay tribute to you, and brought it back to the palace with sorrow.
Later, I instructed the attendants to plant the seeds of this box of peach trees by the Quliu River in the Imperial Garden. In the spring, the seeds sprout into about 10 small saplings.
When I heard the news, I personally went to inspect the growth of the saplings, and selected one of the most vigorous and beautiful trees, sent them to the Lingnan Palace, and transplanted them into the courtyard where the bedroom where you lived back then. The rest of the saplings were given to Uncle Ding Youren and Fu Tianliang respectively, and they were properly transplanted to the former site of the General Military Mansion in Yantang Pass, the ancestral hall of our parents, the old house of my uncle in Linshui, the courtyard where you used to live when you were in the Jinfeng Zhai Palace, your line in Yangquan Pass, the Jiedu Embassy in Huaizhou and your wordless tombstone.
When the third spring arrives after your death, all of these peach trees have successfully bloomed their first peach blossoms.
The housekeeper of the Lingnan Royal Mansion instructed his servants to prune some of the peach blossoms planted outside your bedroom window and send them to Zhaoyang Palace to be presented to the emperor and empress and the young prince.
From that year on, every spring, it became a traditional practice for your Lingnan palace to present the newly bloomed peach blossoms to the Zhaoyang Palace, and for Liu Shen and I to share the six palaces.
My children have been accustomed to welcoming a beautiful spring in the "peach blossoms of my uncle's house" since they were young.
Their first paintings often begin with the painting of "Peach Blossoms of Uncle's Family".
I watched one child after another grow up to the point where they could hold a pen, and watched them start to learn to copy peach blossom watercolors one after another.

You do it this way, every spring in my life. Again and again, in the scorching and bright blooming flowers, he said to me affectionately: "Another spring has come, Qin'er, has your heart been warmed?" Still is. You're never going to be warm, are you? β
Every time I see the peach blossoms sent by your Lingnan Palace, I can't help but think of the first day we met, when you jumped up from the cliff and gave me a large bouquet of colorful flowers; I think of the time when you came back from an audience in the city and put flowers in the vase in my room; I think of the time when you brought me a blue flower from the distant steppe; I think of the peach blossoms in a long wooden box that you sent when you left the hot spring palace.
The peach tree you left behind grew in the courtyard of the Lingnan Royal Mansion for 15 years, and then. It slowly withered away.
However, it also leaves behind seeds.
With its seeds, they planted new peach trees in that place.
Before I died, the peach tree in the courtyard of your Lingnan Royal Mansion had been dead and dead for four generations.
(c)
Every time you see a peach blossom, you accept the saying of nature.
The birth, death and transformation of life, it happens all the time.
This peach blossom is because of your life, so it will appear in front of me like this.
Because there were appearances like you before, so. Now there are such manifestations of them.
It's like because of the wave in front of you, there will be this toe-kissing wave at this moment.
There is one and the other. This life is the death of another.
The later peach blossom is a continuation of the previous peach tree; The previous peach tree is a continuation of the peach pit; Life is like this, and it continues like waves from each other.
If I have the insight to penetrate time and understand cause and effect, I will be able to get out of this peach blossom that has been passed down from generation to generation. See your distant love, see your life still present in this world.
I'm sure I'll never see you with the same voice and smile. However, every spring, your love and care can still be as good as the first spring when I married to Yunjing alone. Among the countless beautiful flowers, they are springing up to me.
You haven't left me.
Whether it's in memory or in time.
While you left me forever, you never left my life.

The whole country mourned, and after a very high-standard and extremely grand funeral for you, according to your last wish, Liu Shen built a simple mausoleum for you on the shore of Baojing Lake.
There is nothing in the mausoleum.
Regarding the inscription on the mausoleum, you mentioned it twice before your death, once when you said to the generals of the Han army during the battle of Entu and Sulong, you said that you were not an excellent general, because you failed to stop the war immediately with the fastest speed, and you sacrificed so many lives before it finally stopped, so you hope to engrave on your tombstone: I am not a good general, and I am speechless with guilt. However, since Liu Shen had already supported you to descend from heaven to earth, remove obstacles for his Taiping New Dynasty, and speak in a groundbreaking manner, he could not accept such an overly humble and self-deprecating content on your inscription under any circumstances.
Another time, when you returned to Yunjing, you said it to Fu Tianliang. You tell him that a person like you, who has killed countless people and has a lot of blood debts, does not have the face to leave the name given to you by your parents in this world that has been full of vicissitudes, and you hope that it will be annihilated with the years.
After Fu Tianliang reported your last words to Liu Shen, Liu Shen couldn't make a decision, and finally he decided to come and ask me how to engrave your tombstone.
When I heard Liu Shen explain the antecedents of the incident, I sighed sadly and said, "Then, please follow my brother's last wish, and don't write anything on that tombstone, no name, no title, no language of commentary." and erect a tombstone without words. β
I said, "All the deeds and all the evaluations about his life will remain in people's hearts." β
Until now, I have changed from Qin'er to Idealism, and I still want to follow your wishes.
In writing this story, I don't want to mention your name in particular. I mention your name as little as possible.
How I wish I had always used the pronoun "you" throughout the text, and never mentioned your name.
If you think too much, let it disappear in the endless time and space with the end of our lives.
In the years, if the time is long enough, all the fame will eventually come down to the unknown.

Missing is like a nail that grows if it is cut off.

The day the moonlight takes you off the cliff becomes your death day.
Every year on your death day, or the Qingming Festival, if Liu Shen doesn't take me out of the palace to pay respects at your unsubtitled monument on the shore of Baojing Lake, I will hold a small-scale memorial ceremony in the palace to express my sorrow.
Every night on the day of your death, I will come to the small ancestral hall set up in the palace for the ancestors of Cui and Chen's parents, and be alone, bathing and fasting, and reciting sutras for you.
In the dead of night, I knelt on the mat, facing your mother's tablet, remembering the portrait of the beautiful woman who hung on the second hall of the Cui family's mansion, remembering the situation when you lit sandalwood and respectfully inserted the incense stick into the incense burner, remembering that we once stood side by side with candles under this portrait, praying that our love would finally have a happy ending of harmony and old age.
At this moment, yin and yang are separated, and I am left alone, looking at the light on the offering table.
I prayed with tears, "Beautiful Mrs. Ding, beloved mother, your only son, has now also ended his life in this world. He and the war are all gone. β
I silently said in my heart: "I don't know, at this moment, your mother and son, as well as your father, your family is reunited." If you are back together, hopefully Father and you will be able to understand what he has done in this life and not blame him. β
I said, "I want my father and you to understand that even if everything he has done in his life is wrong, he is not doing it in order to do the wrong thing." He did all those things because he wanted to do the right thing. He always wanted to do the right thing. It never occurred to him to do the wrong thing. β
I said, "All his life, he has never had a violent or vicious heart. He is worthy of Mrs. Ding, and you gave birth to your life. is also worthy of his father's ardent expectations and earnest teachings for many years. My daughter, from the bottom of my heart, feels so. β
Facing the tablets of your mother, and in the face of the tablets of all the ancestors of our two families, I vow: "All the souls who died because of him, I vow to transcend, to save them from the pain of life and the horror of death, and I am willing to dedicate all my life, all my time, all my happiness, all my success, all my comfort, all my everything, and I vow to transcend them, and I want to leave all suffering." β
Every year on the day of your memorial, I face the ancestors of the past generations and make this unwavering and compassionate wish from the bottom of my heart.
It's because of you.
It is because of your love that it is generated, and there will be.
From the beginning to the end, our love has always been with the destiny of all people.
It has never, never, alone.
Never.

"All sentient beings and the like, if they are oviparous, if they are viviparous, if they are wet, if they are incarnated, if they are colored, if they are colorless, if they are thinking, if they are not thinking, if they are not thinking, if they are not thinking, they are all extinguished by Nirvana. If it is the destruction of immeasurable and countless boundless sentient beings, there are no sentient beings who have attained extinction. "The Diamond Sutra
