Chapter 122 Difficult
There is no suona spring, no monk's super degree, no crying, not even filial piety. A group of men silently guarded the spirit, silently ordered incense to offer, and silently covered the coffin to send. Such a hasty and hasty funeral is indescribable without bitterness and desolation.
Rong Yu didn't get it in the end, and it was still Feng He's work. He can't keep the box. He has had the same task many times, but this time it's the most uncomfortable for him. Because of his personal feelings, he found that he could do nothing. Next Lang will be surprised. Only he knows how much this has touched him. The only massacre unrelated to politics and ambition, Helan died for love, unlike those scheming politicians.
The rain stopped at the funeral, and the clouds were thick and there was no sun. The tomb was selected temporarily. He found a beautiful place for him to settle down for the time being, and then he will find an opportunity to move his burial in the future.
I came back much faster than when I went. I traveled day and night, and it took only half of time to get to Chang'an. At the beginning of the imperial city, he heard that the prince and the queen had quarreled. In order to make Hong die, Queen Wu did not deliberately hide the news of the killing of He Lan. The prince was sad and angry when he heard the news. He didn't care about the government affairs. He was in the East Palace and had not entered the rice for two consecutive days. Li Hong has been weak since he was a child. This time, he hurt his muscles and bones, and soon went to bed.
Rong Yu and Feng He entered the Linde Hall to see the queen. Wu Hou sat behind the curtain and listened to him describe the story. After a long silence, he said, "Poor my sister, there is no bone and blood left. One died in vain and the other deserved to die. Who is to blame?
The sharp and cold throat leaked a heart corroded by power. Such a high-sounding person is indeed suitable for sitting in that chair. Rong and Tan Ning on his face, he lowered his eyes and said yes. A waiter came out after the bead curtain. He motioned Feng He to put the box up and stood by quietly.
I faintly heard the sound of the wooden box opening the lid. The weather was not cold, and I didn't know what the ear looked like. Maybe it's rotten, maybe it's maggots, and the queen's courage makes Xu Mei feel ashamed.
Maybe the inspection was confirmed, and Queen Wu changed her voice slightly briskly, "If you imprison Zhaoxi in front of you, I will not investigate this matter. I think you have your reason. I know that you have some friendship with the prince. Although affection is valuable, prudence is also important. Since you joined the official, I have always seen you, and I also value you and trust you. You are a stable person. I think it's much better than those who can only play tricks. Don't disappoint me.
Rong and his heart were awe-hearted. Of course, his purpose of detaining Zhaoxi could not be concealed by Wuhou, and Wuhou also kept an attention to him. Fortunately, this proves that He Lan is dead, otherwise it will be difficult for him to protect himself next. This is a real companion like a tiger, and the saint and her role have completely changed. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not as difficult to deal with as this "world's first queen".
The gentleman examines the situation. In the years to come, he is afraid that he must be loyal to her in order to seek peace and wealth.
He bowed humbly, "I should swear to be loyal to the queen to repay the queen's kindness."
After the bead curtain, he hummed and said, "Hong Bao Yang, go and have a look at him!" You young people can speak and persuade him for me. After saying that, he sighed, "He doesn't want to see me now. He must hate me and can't wait for me to die!"
In the end, he gritted his teeth and sweated coldly on his back. There are only two kinds of people in the eyes of the Empress Wu, one is a submittor and the other is an enemy. If you don't obey discipline, you will be eradicated. No matter who the other party is, political enemies or relatives.
He should be extra careful when talking to her. He thought, "Your Highness is kind and young, and I don't understand the painstaking efforts of the queen. The queen is generous and will certainly not care about His Royal Highness. At this time, I don't know if I can persuade Your Highness. Although I am shallow, I will definitely do my best. Please rest assured.
Queen Wu seems to be satisfied, "So good, Aiqing, go!"
He breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the order. After going down to the East Palace, he went to the East Palace, passed the Tongxun Gate and went south. The East Palace Mangman, and there was no fixed number of which palace Hong stayed in, so he had to casually pull a chamberlain to ask. The waiter asked him to wait for a moment, and he went into the door to find someone. After a while, he invited Zheng Wei, the head of the East Palace.
"Oh, General! The people under him didn't understand the rules and asked the general to wait for a long time. Your Highness is in the main hall, and the maidservant will lead the way for the general. Please ask the general to come with the maidservant. Zheng Wei shook the dust and twisted the water snake-like thin waist to guide him. As he walked, he turned around and said, "At least the general advised, Your Highness... these two days are not good."
Rong and Wei were shocked, "What's wrong?"
"Ouch, isn't that He Lanmin's case!" Zheng Wei rubbed his eyelids and said, "Your Highness had an argument with the queen that day. I dared not approach and only dared to listen from afar. The mother and son quarreled so much that they also found out about the two princesses, Xuancheng and Yiyang. The queen accused Her Royal Highness of being 'stupid'..." He looked around tremblingly and lowered his voice, "As soon as the queen left, Her Royal Highness went on hunger strike. Today is three days old, and it is useless to persuade him. The maidservant returned to Penglai Palace, but stood under the sun for two hours, and the queen did not send a word out.
There are only women in the world in her heart, and the small family is not important in her eyes. There are many sons, Li Hongren has more than filial piety and lack of martial arts. Maybe she had already had the idea of abolishing the prince, and only added the last fire.
"How is Your Highness doing now?" Near the main hall, he looked up, fighting arches and flying eaves, and the golden plaque under the top of the hall was shining in the sun.
Zheng Wei shook his head and said, "The lung disease is getting worse and worse, and he refuses to pass it to the imperial doctor."
With nothing to say, he entered the hall along the steps. The surroundings were silent, with light yellow silk gauze hanging on the top of the wide floor, and a row of threshold windows opened in the east. When the wind blew, the veils all over the hall swelled and flew up, with a feeling of darkness.
Zheng Wei took two steps on his back and shouted tentatively, "Your Highness? His Royal Highness?"
No one responded. The depths of the palace were dark and blurred, and the blue and black core seemed to open a big mouth, ready to be swallow at any time.
He took a big step and arched his hand, "Shen Rong and, please see the prince."
It's still quiet, maybe it's not here! It was at a time of hesitation that a person turned out behind the mantle. Bare feet, loose hair, wide robe and big sleeves floated straight to the ground. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and my hair and robe flew all over the sky. The whole person seemed to be taken away, which made people panic.
"Do you still dare to come?" The clear accusations are like mountains, but they have become powerless because of the lack of qi.
Rong Yu knew He Lan's death, and he had to count it on himself. At the beginning, he entrusted He Lan to him like an orphan. He didn't have the ability to turn the tide and told He Lanke to die in a foreign country. He was indeed ashamed.
He lowered his head and said, "Your Highness is angry, and I have no choice."
The prince's eyes were red, he came forward to catch his collar and shook him hard, "You promised me!" Did you do it? You said... you promised me? You said..."
He also blames himself and regrets, but there is really nothing he can do. He couldn't break free, so he had to shake it. When he vented and collapsed all over, he turned around and said to Zheng Wei, "I have something to say to your highness. Please wait outside the palace."
Zheng Wei said repeatedly, trembling and retreated with the dust in his arms. He sighed and went to Fuhong, but was separated by him. "I misread you. You are your mother's dog-legged. Do you only have her decree in your eyes? Listen, one day after ascending the throne of the Japanese palace, he was the first to take your general to pay tribute to the dead of Helan!"
Looking at him, his words were not very lethal. He has always been sure and accurate. There are too many uncertainties about whether Hong can ascend the throne. If he is afraid of revenge in the future, it will be too unfounded.
What makes him sigh is human nature! When you are around, you don't know how to cherish it. When you lose it, you will go crazy. He began to miss Bu Nuan very much and didn't know how she was now. He unblocked the road before he left. For more than a month, she should have been transferred to Zhongshu Province!
He became anxious and eager to see her. Then he didn't go roundabouts and went straight through the channel. "At that time, Weichen listened to His Highness. Weichen did not refute, but just told His Highness what had happened. He Lan was killed by suicide, not killed by a minister. The minister originally prepared a horse to escape in the dark, but he took off the reins and hung himself in the corner pavilion. When I found out, I had been angry for a long time. He paused and adjusted his tone and said, "Your Highness, I can't come back to life. Before He Lan left, he brought a message to His Highness. He was not sorry to His Highness. Emotionally, he ended up with His Royal Highness.
After he finished speaking, he also had a chill. In the end, the word is really inappropriate. It sounds strange to describe a man, but it is also out of helplessness. He has always disagreed with the habit of breaking sleeves. No matter how sad the love between men is, it is still awkward to talk about it seriously.
Hong is the person in the whirlpool, but he heard 120,000 shocks. Holding the pillar with emotion for a long time, he asked sadly, "What else did he say?"
"He Lan, please take care," he had to make up some words to comfort him, licked his lips and said, "There will always be a time to meet in the future. I can't figure it out, or come back to look for Your Highness after reincarnation! In any case, please raise your Highness carefully. Regardless of the matter, He Lan is now buried next to the official road of Shaozhou. Doesn't your Highness want to choose another auspicious place to bury him?
Hongkong hung his hands, as if the souls had been separated from the body and stood there trembling for a long time without saying a word.
Looking around subconsciously, the East Palace held a big wedding, which should leave a festive aftertaste. But at present, there is nothing but bleak. The reluctant blind marriage is the funeral of two people's lives.
Hong gradually came to his senses and took a long breath, "I will engrave the epitaph tomorrow, and then go to Shaozhou after the tablet is engraved. Epitaph... How do you think it's better to write it?" Before the interface, he said on the wall with his back, "It's clear and elegant. Luan Zhang Fengzi is actually out of the matter. Waved by the wind and clouds, Gu Yu was brilliant... However, as soon as he moved to Dan, he suddenly turned into ashes... Whoo woe!" He used almost all the beautiful words, and finally sighed in pain. He couldn't suppress it and cried bitterly.
Such a gentle and kind person cried so sadly. He couldn't think of advice, and any relief was not enough to fill the pain of losing most of his life. He has no choice but to watch.
The maidservant outside the hall came out of nowhere, and the black pressure knelt down on the ground in the corridor. Zheng Wei came in, walked over on his knees in fear, and said repeatedly, "Your Highness... Your Highness, take care of your body..."
Rong Yu pressed on Zheng Wei's shoulder, "Let him cry, just cry. You ask someone to prepare some ginseng soup porridge, and at least ask him to drink some. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I can't stand it.
After saying that, he withdrew from the main hall and looked around. A white magnolia in the southeast corner trembled its petals in the wind. The huge white ball was originally loved, but now it is very frustrating.
At the other end of the corridor, several maidservitos gathered around a palace beauty and hurriedly came. He narrowed his eyes and saw that the woman's eyebrows were close to the mica flowers, with bright oblique red on the corners of her forehead, and the tea oil flowers of her temples reflected dazzling light in the sun. Looking at the dress, nine out of ten is the crown princess Pei of Xinna.
He asked to bow down to the jade steps. The Pei Fei was probably attracted by the crying, and there was still a panic on her face. He glanced at him, paused, bowed and said, "The general is polite."
Rong Yu bowed more and more, "Your Highness is polite, and I dare not do it."
When she was in a hurry to go to the hall, she wandered under her feet and didn't dare to leave. Looking at the Lizheng Hall, he muttered, "What's going on? What's going on... If I had known this, I would rather be my sister-in-law!" Then he turned his face and looked at him, "General, why did you kill He Lanminzhi? How many people have you killed!"
He squeezed his lips tightly and suddenly felt deeply weak. In this crampy era, it seems that everyone is going crazy!
