【Commentary】080 Chapter 10 Exploring the Tomb
Ma Mingshao said: "The young master is still hesitating. He said that Jingshi is no better than elsewhere. There is no stable layout inside and out. It won't be easy for a while. ”
Chang Sihao knew that the Qin family was originally weak. It's not like Juhao Pavilion has a backer in Beijing. It is natural for Jue Xiang to be so cautious. There is no flaw in Ma Mingshao's words. However, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake before checking with the absolute sound. It doesn't help to listen too much. He said, "You have a horse now." Let's go see him. ”
Wohu Mountain is located in the northwest of the capital. The two rode their horses for half an hour. The city of Changping Prefecture is in sight. At this point, the horsepower is exhausted. Slowing down. Ma Mingshao said there were still less than 10 miles to go. It is better to let the animals rest first. And then it arrived in one go. Chang Sihao nodded. Entering the city, I found a small inn on the side of the road. Call the shopkeeper to feed the horses. I went to the store and found a stool to sit down and just took a sip of water. Just listen to the neighing of horses outside the door. Someone else called for a shopkeeper. The sound is familiar. Chang Sihao put down the water bowl and walked out the door. I saw that the three horsemen on the side of the road had just stopped fighting. At the front of the crowd was a short, stocky middle-aged man. Instantly recognizable. took two steps forward and arched his hand: "Chief Jiang." How did you get here? ”
The middle-aged man was Jiang Shiyou, who was in charge of foreign affairs liaison of the Hundred Swords Alliance. Two other young men also dismounted. It was Luo Hushu and Wei Lingchuan. Jiang Shiyou saw Chang Sihao. Xiaoyan immediately narrowed his smile into a line: "Ahh It's you. "Come and chill with him. Chang Sihao said: "Where are you three going?" Luo Huxu sneered: "Let's go see the nouveau riche." Brother Chang is interested? ”
Jiang Shiyou laughed. Pulling Chang Sihao and said: "Tiger shoes like to laugh." Chang Shaojian, don't go to your heart. He lowered his voice: "The new owner of Duhulou has always been very mysterious. A supervisor was stationed and did not show up. Every day, people pay respectful visits to officials everywhere. Make a big shot. The purpose is unknown. Recently, there are people in the building who have been running to Crouching Tiger Mountain. Apparently sending a message to the master. We came and had a look at the order of the leader. ”
Chang Sihao thought to himself if he just looked at it. Why use you, the head of the department, to come forward. It must be that the Lord Zheng League found out the news of Qin Juexiang. I want to send someone over to meet me. The two sides exchanged ideas. It's just that Luo Hu is sarcastic first. and thou shalt cover it for him. Hypothetical that I don't know who it is. Clenched his fists and said, "It's not a secret." The new owner of the building may be my brother. I was also looking for him. Let's go together. ”
Jiang Shiyou was surprised [Xianmo: Surprised. and singing on the stage must continue to perform a meaning. There are a lot of big dramas in Beijing] and smiled: "Is it Young Master Qin?" So much better. At this time, Ma Mingshao also arrived outside the door. and Jiang Shiyou knew each other at first sight. It turned out to be during Qin Langchuan's funeral. The Hundred Swords Alliance sent Jiang Shiyou to condole. I got to know many elites of the younger generations of the Qin family. At that time, Chang Sihao went to Hengshan. So miss. The five of them took a brief break. Get back on the horse and set off. After passing the stone archway, go down the trail and walk northwest along the road. After a while, a hill appeared in front of me. The mountain is not very high. The ups and downs are gentle. It has the shape of a tiger lying down. The direction from which the people came was facing the back of the tiger's crotch. It belongs to the sunny side of the mountain. But see the snow cold mountain ash. Dead wood is bleak. There are some homes scattered at the foot of the mountain. The cold wind blew and the frost was applied. There was not even a figure on the road. Occasionally, a few magpies are startled by the sound of horses' hooves. Dragged a long tail. The sound was terrible. There is no joy at all.
Ma Mingshao led everyone to a small courtyard on the mountainside. From the outside, the walls are shabby. The stone base is mottled. The roofs and walls are overgrown with weeds. It's very old. The mountain breeze blows. Whining in the cracks in the walls. Chang Sihao looked back at the road in a curve. Connected to Changping from afar. The sky is low and the road is far away. Unobstructed. Excellent viewing angles. I thought this place was so deserted. If you do not communicate with the outside world. I'm afraid that no one will know if I live for ten or eight years.
Several people dismounted and entered the hospital. I saw three main rooms facing him. The door is skewed and ajar. Squeaky and grinding in the wind. The window paper is clean and white. It can be seen that it is a new paste not long ago. Ma Mingshao shouted: "Young master." No one responded. Dodge into the house. Chang Sihao followed up to take a look. There is an old wooden table in the room. There were empty bowls on the stove. It looks like someone has lived a simple life. It's just that at this moment, there is not half a figure.
Ma Mingshao said: "The young master has changed places again. Chang Sihao knows that life is exquisite. It's so shabby here. How could he live? I was suspicious. grabbed him and shouted, "Don't play tricks on me." Ma Mingshao said: "Absolutely not." Now the young master is even in Shanxi. I have to change my place every few days. It's quiet. He could stay for two or three days. It's been a long time. Jiang Shiyou saw that there was some residual ash between the stoves. Make a flick of the stick. There's a little red-hot underneath. "There used to be people here. It's not been too long. "That's when it happened. A faint whisper was heard in the ears of several people. The sound was supposed to be not small. But the distance is farther. It sounds faintly echoed. It seems to sound from the valley.
Wei Lingchuan shouted outside: "It's the sound of fire." ”
Chang Sihao ran out of the house. Fly up to the room and follow his gaze. I saw that there was a wall on the gentle slope of the mountain to the northeast. Stretching far away. A large area of the garden inside the wall is planted with pines and cypresses. There is a boulevard in the middle that leads straight to the north. The withered willows on the side of the road weep in the wind. Xiao Xi was deserted. Between the branches, you can see red small buildings, pillars and stone statues such as lions, pigs, and unicorns. Silence and silence. Not half a figure in sight. asked Ma Mingshao, who was following him: "What kind of place is this?" Why is it so bleak. Ma Mingshao said: "Within this wall is the royal mausoleum. The middle path is the Shinto Road that leads to the various mausoleums. Hey. "I saw a man on the road. Dressed in pale yellow clothes. Cross-body long knife. Extremely fast. Arrived at the side of the small red building. Leap up. Standing on the top of the second floor, looking around. There seems to be a discovery. It landed again and rushed westward.
Although the distance is too far to see the face. But Chang Sihao immediately recognized it when he saw that person. Immediately raised his breath and shouted, "Brother Chen." ”
He shouted loudly though. How can it be a barren mountain? The distance is far away. The voice didn't travel far before it was beaten back by the mountain wind. Chen Sheng went straight to the west. There is no delay in speed. Apparently I didn't hear it. In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared between the gaps. Chang Sihao said: "I'll go over and take a look." "I don't look for a path. Straight down the hillside. Climb over the wall and chase after it. Ma Mingshao and Jiang Shiyou briefly explained one or two. The four followed.
Several people have good work at their feet. Blazing fast. However, the forest road is long. It makes people feel the vastness of this imperial tomb. It's endless. Far beyond imagination. I don't know how far to chase this breath. When passing by a small lookout. I found a firearm thrown next to it. Chilled by the cold wind early. Chang Sihao expected to be in the right direction. And speed up. Not far away. There are two forks in the front, one west and one north. Chen Shengyi didn't know where he went. Jiang Shiyou said: "Let's disperse." The one found first gives a signal. Chang Sihao nodded. Take Ma Mingshao and continue west. Jiang Shiyou and the three of them went north.
Another ride. The sun is drifting. The mountains ahead are deep. It's dark and cold. The ground was pale as rust. Everywhere there are old and dead trees. The root system is exposed. Textured strands into strips. It's like peeling off the skin and drying the muscles. The color is gray. Twist entanglement. It's weird. Chang Sihao was worried in his heart. Suddenly, I saw a boot under the shadow of a tree in front of me. I was about to pick it up and inspect it. I heard a woman's voice in the cemetery by the road: "Nonsense. How so. He hurriedly stopped. At the same time, he reached back and held down Ma Mingshao.
A panicked, high-pitched voice replied, "Indeed." There is no falsehood. ”
Chang Sihao held his breath and dived for more than ten zhang. Hide behind a tree and peek. I saw it in the afterglow of the setting sun. A man dressed in a eunuch's uniform slumped down beside a tomb. No boots on the right foot. Exposed white socks. Opposite stood two men and women. The man was dressed in purple. He was looking at the wild grass on the top of the tomb in a daze. The woman dragged a large package in both hands. Thick bundles of yellow paper can be seen in the gaps. It's the fragrance of water. She asked, "Then where is the old emperor Jiajing buried?" The eunuch said: "Under the Yangcui Ridge in the northeast." It is called Yongling. ”
Shui Yanxiang looked around and said: "The feng shui here is extremely poor. It's all about decay. It is so far away from the old emperor. Why should she be buried here? ”
The eunuch said: "The prince born to Concubine Yan died early. And there is no merit. How can you be buried with the old emperor. And not only her. Wang Guifei, Concubine Ma, Prince Aichong, Prince Zhuang Jing and other six concubines and two princes. It's all buried here. It seems that the old emperor heard from the Taoist priests that the prince who died was ominous. Therefore, these tombs were all chosen in the west to kill the place. The farther away from your own mausoleum, the better. ”
Shui Yanxiang frowned and said, "How can this be reasonable." When he was alive, he believed that 'two dragons do not meet'. After his death, he was still far away from his son. But it's really ruthless and unjust. Is the son who dies not a son? How could he even dislike the concubine who gave birth to a son. Is there only himself in his tomb? That's a real loner. ”
The eunuch seemed to have been beaten. I don't dare to blame her for these rude words. Honestly: "Not really." There are also Empress Fang, Empress Chen, and Empress Dowager Du in Yongling. Empress Fang can accompany the burial of Yongling. That's because she saved the old emperor's life back then. Empress Chen and Empress Dowager Du moved in. It is the emperor's decree this year. ”
Shui Yanxiang's expression was indignant and she wanted to scold again. The eldest grandson Xiaochi turned his face and sighed softly: "Forget it." Queen Fang has the merit of saving the driver. Empress Chen was originally his original partner. Empress Dowager Du is the biological mother of the third brother. My mother turned out to be just one of the nine concubines. Later, the concubine. From humble beginnings. It's not as good as others. What gave birth to the merit of the prince. That's not to mention. ”
The eunuch heard him say these words. His eyes widened in shock. Tooth war. I thought of hitting him with a firearm just now. He was fine. Instead, it was in front of you in a flash. Drop it off. I can't move. Now he actually thinks that he is the son of Concubine Yan. Isn't that the ghost of death mourning the prince? Could it be that the prince grew up in the underworld? Now I'm back to see my mother. The eldest grandson laughed late and listened to his teeth. It's quite irritating. Slight movement under the feet. Pick up a pebble and fly out. Knock him unconscious.
Shui Yanxiang threw the yellow paper on the ground. said: "You can see it." Your three brothers became emperors. He also knew that his mother would be relocated. Enjoy the honor behind you. Your mother was deceived for no reason when she was born. After his death, he was left out in the cold. Then wouldn't she be a great injustice in her life? [Xianmo: People live in one breath. If you die, you have to fight for a breath. It's common sense. It's a joke again. Xiaoxiang Ruo falls in today's workplace. She is a weak woman. Don't argue. How can you, the son, not come and stand up for your mother. If a person is not bloody. If you live for a lifetime, you will suffer for a lifetime. What's the point. ”
The eldest grandson was silent for a long time. Shui Yanxiang said: "Xiao Ai." Why don't we go to the emperor early tomorrow morning. Let him decree that this tomb should be moved there as well. The eldest grandson smiled and said, "There was no dispute between my mother and her life." After we die, we still have nothing to fight about. Besides, her old man died unjustly. Even though he was buried in Yongling. Not necessarily happy. Since I'm out of Beijing. I didn't want to go back. Come. Now let's start worshipping. So saying, he fell to his knees in front of the tomb. Kowtow slowly.
See him like this. Shui Yanxiang also sighed. Pick up a branch and draw a circle in front of the tomb. Begin to burn the paper. A moment of fire danced. The golden flame rose like a demon. The distant mountains and sunsets are dimmed.
The eldest grandson looked at the top of the tomb with a smile. Lonely eyes. It's been a long time. muttered, "Xiao Xiang." Shui Yanxiang: "Hmm." The eldest grandson smiled and said slowly: "I have always missed my mother...... I really want to think about it. Somehow...... to her grave. But I don't feel sadness. I don't miss it. I don't ...... at all I don't even remember what she looked like. Shui Yanxiang said: "You have a father and a mother." But it's no different from a child without a father or mother. Never lived together. Something that comes from someone else's mouth. I don't know how much is true and what is false. Nature is like a dream. [Xianmo: Cheng Lian'an and his father are probably also because of this. Adults are busy working all day. The child throws it down and becomes unrecognizable. The saddest. Such parents. How to have a face to sing to your child often go home and see. It's time to fend for itself. It's right that old age and death don't get along]
The eldest grandson sighed with a smile: "Yes." I've always wanted to avenge my mother. But. Now I don't feel like I've avenged her. I don't even know why I have to avenge her. King Lu and the second concubine are all enemies who killed their mother. But when I looked at their faces and listened to their stories. But there was a hope in my heart. I want to be their son. No matter how bad this mother is to others. She's always kind to me. Hurt me. Oh me. Love me. How happy I would have been. If only there could be such a mother. Give me a family. Don't say it's the master of this Juhao Pavilion. It is the Jade Emperor. I don't do it either. ”
Shui Yanxiang saw that his eyes were wandering. There is great pity in my heart. Hugging him by the back. The cheek rubbed lightly against his neck. Said softly: "Xiao Ai." From now on, I will love you, love you, and love you. Give you a home. It's the same. You cry when you're sad. Don't do that. I don't know how sad it is. ”
Chang Sihao thought to himself: "Our thoughts are somewhat similar. But at least I lived with my mother and little sister. There are warm memories in my heart that cannot be erased. Compared to him. It's a lot happier. ”
Right now. The eldest grandson turned around sharply with a smile. Press the scent under your body. At the same time, there was a bang in the woods. Bloodflower marked. splashed with water and the fragrance of the face was all over the face.
"Hahaha. ”
Laughter erupted in the silence. Someone hummed in a smooth tone: "Winter is cold. It's windy. Carrying a firearm to fight a wild warbler. Grill one over a fire. Playing two steaming ...... pots" [Xianmo: A bit of a rootless tree. Singing in the palace. The restaurant sings a small play. There is a wild play on the side of the grave circle. Family drama in the palace. Power fight in the city. Love scenes are sung in the cemetery. In fact, there are more than nine plays. This visit to the tomb is the tenth. 】
