Chapter 566 Eloping Together
Three months later.
In the palace of Sa Mo Jian of the Dazhao Wu Kingdom, he officially issued a Zhao order: the Zen ceremony will be held on the second day of February next year, and the queen of the crescent moon will give up the throne to the head of the cabinet assistant Wu Zhao; Sa Mo, the capital of the Dazhao Wu Kingdom, built the city and changed its name to the "New Moon City". After the abdication, the new moon queen will be the owner of the new moon city and enjoy 500 households.
This news was released more than half a year in advance, which is also to facilitate the city owners under the State of Zhaowu to have time to participate in the celebration, and to facilitate other neighboring countries to exchange information and meet to celebrate.
In fact, the queen of the Great Zhaowu Kingdom has long been determined to be Wu Mei Niang, but it has been delayed until now because of the initial determination of the kingdom and the long trip to Chang'an by the Queen of the Crescent. It was precisely in this year that Wu Mei Niang, the first assistant minister, completely mastered all the real power of the Zhaowu Kingdom through a series of wrists and the solid backing of the Tang Dynasty. Whether he ascended to the throne or not, it was just a matter of lack of ceremony.
After the release of Zhaoling, Mingzhu finally breathed a long breath and fell to the ground. From the day when the first king of Kangguo was killed, she had not been relaxed. Now, I can finally be an ordinary woman, take her husband and children, and enjoy a quiet life.
The newly born twins and daughters have become the apple of the Qin family. Although Mingzhu grew up in a foreign country, she is a typical traditional woman in the Central Plains, gentle, filial and humble. In addition, she is the sister of the demon and looks exactly like the demon. The Qin family accepted her at the first time and got along very well.
After Qin Mubai's family came to Sa Mojian, they temporarily lived in Wu Mei Niang's prime minister's house. Mingzhu was so happy that she could accompany her children's family, so she moved out of the palace and gave the king's bedroom to Wu Mei Niang, who was busy with government affairs, so that she could have a convenient place to rest.
When Wu Mei Niang got busy, it was common for her not to go home for six or seven days. Therefore, Qin Mubai repeatedly played the role of a disciple of "flower picking thief". He often sneaked into the palace in the dead of night and met Wu Mei Niang.
After that, he felt that it seemed to be very exciting!
Days, carefree days slipper quietly. In a blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Qin family went to the palace to feast and enjoy the moon. Originally, the family was happy and well, but Princess Gaoyang, who had drunk a few glasses of wine, suddenly began to cry in a low voice.
Qin Mubai and others hurried to comfort her and asked her what was wrong.
Princess Gaoyang stopped her tears and whispered, "Nothing. I just suddenly remembered my father and mother's concubine who were far away in Chang'an... The Mid-Autumn Festival moon is full. Are they also enjoying the moon in the imperial garden?
A word made everyone speechless.
Chen Yan gently touched Qin Mubai with her elbow from the side. He quickly came to his senses and said, "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, don't say anything unhappy. Mingzhu, why don't I play the pipa and you play the piano, okay?
"Good!" Mingzhu agreed happily, and asked the palace lady to bring the Pipa of the Central Plains and the Persians.
"Do you still remember the song I taught you, "I hope you will last forever"?" Qin Mubai asked with the pipa in his arms.
"Remember." Mingzhu replied with a smile, "How can I not remember such a song? It's the full moon today, but it's the right time.
"Well, let's start - Mei Niang, your singing is the most wonderful. Why don't you invite you to sing?" Qin Mubai Dao.
Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "My husband has an order. How dare my concubine not obey?"
The whole family laughed. Wu Mei Niang is already the quasi-queen of the State of Wu in Dazhao. When she returned home, she was still so funny and humorous and had no airs.
The pipa and the dragonfly sounded, and Wu Mei Niang sang in an ethereal and graceful voice--
"When is the bright moon? Ask the blue sky about the wine. I don't know the palace in the sky. What year is the present and the past..."
The wonderful music is like the sound of nature. The Qin family was obsessed with it, and even Sisi and Nian'er, who had just been full moon, were fascinated and neither noisy nor crying.
Outside the tall wall of the palace, a horse just stopped. Immediately, there was a simple Taoist nun who heard the music and songs from inside through the wall and was stunned on the spot.
"This is "I hope people will last for a long time"! ...Mu Bai, Mei Niang, are you gathering here today?"
She took out a jade flute and played it with the music.
Qin Mubai, who was playing the song in his mind, felt a high-pitched sound in the music, and his fingers suddenly stopped. The whole family who were fascinated was stunned, and Wu Mei Niang and Mingzhu also stopped.
"What's the matter?" Everyone asked.
"Listen! - Someone outside the wall plays this song with a flute!" Qin Mubai suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Xue Yan! It's Xue Yan who is back!"
"Then you don't go to find someone!" Princess Gaoyang said urgently, "She has been in Persia for more than a year and finally came back today. Mu Bai, you can't betray my royal sister, or I'll make you look good!"
Liu Shi also said, "Yes, Sanlang, you know everything about you and Princess Wencheng. If it hadn't been for you, she would have been in front of her princess or had married Zamp's wife. For you, she was ridiculed by all the people all over the world and ran into the empty door to become a Taoist nun - how can you bear it?
"I'm going to find her!" Qin Mubai put down the pipa and ran outside the palace.
Under the wall, Li Xueyan played a song, slowly put down the jade flute, looked up at the moon, and whispered, "Master, it's the apprentice who is stubborn and unfilial, which made you take me on a long journey to Persia, and finally died in a foreign country. The only thing the apprentice can do now is to hand over what you left for Qin Mubai to him, and then take your ashes back to Zhongnan Mountain for burial... Mu Bai, if it is predestined, we will meet again! - Drive!"
Ride on the dust and run forward under the bright moonlight.
Qin Mubai ran out of the palace all the way. He happened to see a horse drifting away. He only caught a hazy figure and soon disappeared in the moonlight.
"Xue Yan, why are you still avoiding me?" Qin Mubai had to stand still and hold the wall for a gasp. "Can't you... still open it?"
Just as Qin Mubai was sweating and out of breath, a guard guarding the palace came forward and handed Qin Mubai a cloth bag and said, "Young Commander Qin, a Taoist nun left this thing just now, saying that she wanted to hand it over to you."
"Oh?" Qin Mubai hurriedly took it over and opened it. It was a wooden box of sandalwood. When I opened the wooden box again, it was a book with a blank cover and a letter. There are several words "Qin Shaoshuai's personal enlightenment" on the envelope.
is Yuan Tian's handwriting.
Qin Mubai hurriedly opened the letter and read it. This was a unique letter from Yuan Tianang. It turned out that he knew that Shouyuan was about to die in Persia, so he deduced the "Tuibei Tu" again in the last time of his life. However, without the assistance of his brother Li Chunfeng, the deduction may not be very accurate, and the number of years in the future is not as good as the last time.
"Is this unnamed book a new pushback picture?" Qin Mubai was immediately surprised, so he hurriedly opened a few pages, but his expression gradually became confused - "Why are they all obscure abomons and inexplicable pictures?" ...Well, I understand this sentence, saying that I am the general of the Qin family, the west of Yongzhen, and the seventeenth generation of Fushou."
"It means that when my descendants are 18 years old, the throne of our Qin family will not be able to be preserved?" Qin Mubai couldn't help smiling, "18 years, how many years will it be?"
"Life is full of vegetation. It's good to be able to take charge of the life. So many princes and founding emperors in history can't ensure that his descendants can go smoothly. I, Qin, have just worked hard for a few years to protect the glory and wealth of the descendants of the eighteen generations. I should be satisfied. Thinking of this, Qin Mubai suddenly laughed loudly, "That is to say, at least in the eighteen generations of our Qin family, the Tang Dynasty should also be safe and sound! - What kind of the Empress ruled the world, the chaos of Anshi, the invasion of Tibet, and the fall of Chang'an, let them go to hell!"
"I, Qin, have not lived in vain in my life!"
"Because the whole Tang Dynasty, the whole era, and the whole nation have eloped with me!"
Wu Mei Niang and others also went out of the palace at this time. They were stunned to see Qin Mubai standing alone in the moonlight in the distance, holding a book and giggling there.
"What's wrong with Mu Bai?"
"What is he shouting about in his mouth? What elopement?"
Chen Yan couldn't help laughing, "Gao Yang, he's talking about you!" Say you eloped with him."
"Humph!" Princess Gaoyang gritted her silver teeth with hatred. If it hadn't been for Qin's mother's presence, a string of "thief cadem stinky men" would have been scolded.
Only Wu Mei Niang smiled and said nothing. Because she is the only one who has heard Qin Mubai talk about "Tuibei Tu". Now she faintly heard Qin Mubai shouting "The Queen's reign, the chaos of Anshi... all ghosts". She couldn't help thinking in her heart: Mu Bai's heart still fell to the Tang Dynasty after all. Although he has run away, he is still concerned about the country of the Tang Dynasty and the future of China. However, seeing that he is so happy, I guess he has learned some of the sky and knows that the future of the Tang Dynasty should be good.
While everyone was suspicious, Qin Mubai suddenly caught fire and burned the book in his hand.
"Mubai, don't!" Wu Mei Niang shouted in surprise, "This is Yuan Tianshi's painstaking efforts!"
Qin Mubai clapped his hands, stood up and smiled and said, "Of course I know this is Yuan Tianshi's painstaking efforts. Didn't I burn it and return it to him? - Mei Niang, in fact, it doesn't make sense to know what will happen in the future."
Wu Mei Niang was stunned for a moment and was speechless.
Qin Mubai came forward to put his arms around her shoulder and said, "Yuan Tianang and Li Chunfeng said that I am a demon star in troubled times and can change my life against the sky. The fates of the Tang Dynasty and China have changed because of me. Well, he reintroduced the back map and previewed the future history. In fact, what's the point of this? Maybe one day there will be another demon star, and it will change its fate again. Isn't these a waste of words? - Besides, if what is said in this book is unchangeable, then we don't need to know.
Wu Mei Niang suddenly smiled cheerfully, "I'm just curious to have a look. If you insist on destroying it, you will destroy it. I don't care! We live for a day and do what we do today. Tomorrow has its own plan for tomorrow, and each of our children has its own destiny. If you know the end of everything, life will become dull, as if you were waiting to die!"
"Mei Niang, you are still so wise." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "A thousand years is too long, just seize the day. As long as we live every day well and have a clear conscience, that's enough. As for how future generations will evaluate us, and what kind of misfortunes will happen to our children and grandchildren, that's all their business.
Wu Meiniang smiled happily: "Yes, you and I have already turned into dust a thousand years later. Who can remember who? At this moment, you and I are hugging each other under the moon, which is both fact and eternal, which is enough!"
