Tang riddles

Time is meaningless to children aged seven or eight.The innocence of children makes them less sad about spring and autumn, and they live heartlessly and happily every day.

Even for Li Jinyue, Zhang Ruohan and Yin Ziji more than ten years later, that time is the most memorable time for them. It was a golden childhood without regrets and the most precious time in life.Every day they study together, practice martial arts, play and play pranks together. Their emotions are intertwined and their fates overlap. No one is worried that one day, there will be a separation.

As time goes by, children also change subtly.

Li Jinyue, who was originally calm and introverted, changed with an extremely obvious trend.She has become more cheerful and sunny, more confident and self-improving. This is the influence of Zhang Ruohan and Yin Ziji.Cheerful and sunny comes from the influence of Yin Ziji, self-improvement and self-confidence comes from the supervision of Zhang Ruohan.Yin Ziji is a blissful doll who seems to know no sorrow or sorrow, and her influence on Li Jinyue is greater than that of Zhang Ruohan.She made Li Jinyue feel that there was nothing in this world that was worth worrying about.And Zhang Ruohan is like a powerful role model, and has become the object of Li Jinyue's study and yearning.Wen, learning from Lianmai; Wu, compared with Chishi, she seems to have found more value in life at once, and lives every day to the fullest.

Among the three, Zhang Ruohan was probably the one with the least obvious change.She is still as calm as water, gentle and indifferent.But her transformation can be seen by those close to her.She smiles more, is softer, and is more naughty and cute like a child.These are Yin Ziji's influence on her, and Yin Ziji has become her inseparable person.Every time she is in front of her grandmother and mother, she always likes to talk about Chisi and the naughty and stupid things Chisi does to amuse the elders, so that her grandmother and mother have a strong interest in Yin Ziji, and Zhang Ruohan invites her into the house be a guest.So soon, Xiao Chishi became a frequent visitor of Zhang's house, and the elders of Zhang's house liked her very much.Li Jinyue would go to Zhang's mansion occasionally, but she didn't have the same treatment as Chishi's own child in Zhang's mansion, so that Li Jinyue was very fond of it.

Later, Chishi would get up early every day, get in his own carriage and detour to Zhang's mansion, wake Zhang Ruohan up, and the two went to the Imperial College together.Sometimes Chishi couldn't get up by herself, so she didn't comb her hair, broke into Zhang's mansion with disheveled hair, and pestered Zhang Ruohan to comb her hair.Zhang Ruohan is good at everything, the only problem is that she is very sleepy and has difficulty getting up in the morning.Chi Shi has become her exclusive crowing cock, Zhang Ruohan thinks she is annoying, but every time she will comb her hair hard and softly, the two of them bicker and go to the Imperial College together.

In fact, several times, when Zhang Ruohan combed Chishi's hair, Chishi fell asleep while sitting.Zhang Ruohan would play a prank and comb Chisi's hair into an extremely funny look, and then when Chisi went to the Imperial College in a daze, he would become the butt of jokes in the school for several days.Zhang Ruohan has a gentle appearance and a cunning side. Chishi has suffered more than once, but for some reason, every time he is not taught a lesson, he sends him to the door by himself, and is willing to be bullied. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel like a fool.She would also be angry with Zhang Ruohan, but every time she was angry for less than a day, she would forget everything after sleeping, and would go to her again the next day, rain or shine.

Zhang Ruohan felt that Yin Ziji was a guy who could surprise or frighten people at any time.My initial impression of her was that she was mischievous and mischievous, but later I found out that she is actually a little genius. Not only is her hands-on ability extremely strong, her poetry, calligraphy, and martial arts are among the best among her peers.Especially the extremely strong memory, which can be compared with Zhang Ruohan, who is known as the first virgin virgin in Chang'an.And her eyes are even more amazing, even Mr. He praised: "Sharp like an eagle, with extremely strong insight."

Yin Ziji would go to Mr. He every day at noon to teach alone.Zhang Ruohan and Li Jinyue once asked her what she was studying, but Yin Ziji didn't keep it secret, and took out the thinking questions that her husband taught her to test them.Most of them are some cases. The husband will give her a question. The question is very long. Many characters will be set up, and each character has a background introduction.Then, a set event will happen, and the husband will describe the event in detail, and then ask Yin Ziji to guess who the culprit of the event is.

Occasionally, there will be some strange word puzzles, puzzles, and arithmetic problems.Every time the teacher asked questions, Yin Ziji would be overwhelmed by the test. At the beginning, she could hardly answer any questions, but after the teacher's explanation and training, she gradually began to be able to answer the questions, but it took a long time.After that, the time gradually shortened.Two years after starting this training, she has basically been able to solve the problems posed by her husband within a quarter of an hour.

Mr. He said that she has already graduated as a teacher, and she has basically taught her what he can teach her. From now on, it will depend on her own application in daily life.This skill is more active the more you use it, and it becomes useless if you don't use it. Therefore, you must not slack off, and you need to practice it frequently.Yin Ziji once asked Mr. He what the name of the skill he had learned was.Mr. He thought for a long time, and said one word: reasoning.Pushing is conjecture; reasoning is common sense and theorem.Taken together, it is an ability to speculate on the origin of things with common sense and theorems.

Mr. He also said that the knowledge of reasoning is actually very profound, and his ability is not the most brilliant.Since the Tang Dynasty, the person with the highest knowledge and ability in this field should be Di Gongrenjie, the face of Empress Zetian.Mr. He's reasoning ability is what he learned from Zhang Jianzhi, Di Renjie's close disciple.Zhang Jianzhi and him are very good personal friends, and they often discuss this knowledge with each other.It's just a pity that Zhang Jian's Shenlong passed away in the second year of the year, and this skill is left to He Zhizhang's family alone. If it is cut off from He Zhizhang, I'm afraid it will really be lost.

The time has come to June of the fourth year of Jinglong, and Akashi is already eight years old.Zhang Ruohan and Li Jinyue are also two years older each, and they are both a bit taller.Li Jinyue is still the tallest, followed by Zhang Ruohan. Although Chishi has risen a lot, she has not been able to catch up with Zhang Ruohan's height. In the eyes of Lian Mai and Maomao, she is just a little radish .

Akashi was very dissatisfied with this, she felt that her father was tall, and she heard that her deceased mother was not short, so she would definitely grow taller.She didn't know who said that drinking milk can grow taller, so she poured a large pot of milk every day before going to bed, and silently said three sentences "I want to grow taller" before going to bed.So much so that even Qin Nu has developed the same habit as her.

Not long after Chishi and Qin Nu fell asleep after drinking milk, Hong He, the eldest maid of Linfeng Court, hurried into the house, and said to the nanny Hui with a pale face:

"The son-in-law and the princess entered the palace overnight. Before leaving, I ordered the soldiers in the mansion not to sleep, to strengthen the security of the mansion, and especially watch out for the two young masters. There will be soldiers stationed in Linfeng courtyard in a while. Please comfort the two of you." Little master, don't be frightened."

"What's the matter?" the nanny asked in shock.

"Shangguan Zhaorong from the palace secretly sent someone to ask the princess to enter the palace urgently, and the son-in-law went to see the princess off. I don't know the specifics, but I vaguely heard that it was a saint...it's not good."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Don't die!" The nanny's voice changed in fright.

Hong He hurriedly kept quiet, and Mother Hui lowered her voice and said:

"Isn't the sage good? Some time ago, on the Double Ninth Festival, the sage went to the suburbs of Beijing to climb high."

"I, I don't know either. I saw the mouth shape of the eunuch who summoned the princess when he whispered to the princess." Honghe explained falteringly.

"Well, no matter what, I summoned the princess into the palace overnight, and I'm afraid something big will happen tonight."

Sister Hui's guess was right. This night, the political situation in Chang'an, which had been simmering undercurrents for a long time, finally changed.

When Taiping saw the lifeless third brother Li Xian lying on the dragon bed, looked at the medical officer, inner eunuch, maids kneeling in the hall, and Queen Webster and Princess Anle crying beside the bed, she was silent. After a long time, he turned his gaze to Shangguan Wan'er who was standing aside with a calm face.

"Dare to ask Zhaorong, how did my third brother disappear?" She asked in a very ordinary tone, as if she was asking about some family matters.

"Saint, a sudden illness broke out tonight, and I was inspired by heaven." Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful face was drooping, and her voice was calm and sad.

"Sudden illness outbreak? Sudden illness outbreak..." Taiping focused his eyes on Shangguan Wan'er, muttering these four words.

Shangguan Wan'er was still humble and calm.

"Then, Her Royal Highness and Shangguan Zhaorong summoned me into the palace all night, not just wanting me to see the emperor's brother for the last time."

"Wan'er dares to ask the princess to draft a will." Shangguan Wan'er bowed.

Peaceful silence.

Empress Wei, who was crying bitterly, looked back, and there was a faint cold light in her long and narrow phoenix eyes.

"I understand. I only have one condition." Taiping said.

"Please tell me, princess."

"One sentence must be added to the edict: I invite my four brothers to be kings, to advise on political affairs, and to assist the new king." Taiping said.

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Wei Hou, got the answer, and said, "Yes."

The hall fell silent, only the sound of writing remained.

Two moments later, Taiping walked out of the bedroom.At a glance, he saw his little nephew Li Chongmao kneeling outside the door.This is the only surviving son of the sage. His three elder brothers are all dead, and the key point is that he is not born of Queen Wei.

The 15-year-old boy still looked very immature, but he knelt outside the door and shivered in the hot and humid Chang'an night.Taiping bent down, patted his shoulder, and said softly:

"Mao'er, you can take care of yourself."

After saying that, he quickly walked down the hall.

The sudden death of the saint has not yet been reported, and the outside of the hall is empty, with only one person standing in the middle.In the night, his figure was straight and thin, like a sharp horizontal knife.

"Changheng..." Taiping didn't relax until he reached his side, and as soon as his body softened, he was supported by Yin Yu and hugged him in his arms.

"Princess, are you okay?" His voice was still gentle and powerful.

Taiping shook his head, his face was slightly pale.

She grabbed Yin Yu's skirt and said softly:

"I have an answer to the request of the King of Linzi. Go back to the mansion, and you will reply for me."

"Yes, princess."

The next day, the news spread that the sage was leaving, and the world was shaken.Hundreds of officials entered the palace one after another to request an audience, but the edict was announced as quickly as possible.

Li Chongmao, the fourth son, was established as the new king, Queen Webster knew about political affairs, and the prime minister was a consultant for political affairs.

This meaningful posthumous edict made the entire ruling and opposition parties feel uneasy.The struggle between the Webster Group and the Li family has become more and more obvious. The purpose of this edict is to balance.But this balance can only be temporary and superficial, and one day, or in the not-too-distant future, it will be decided.

But no one could have imagined that a change would come so quickly.

At the beginning of June, the sage made a great trip, the new king ascended the throne, and changed his Yuan to Tanglong.Less than a month after ascending the throne, the throne has not yet been firmly established, and a coup broke out suddenly.

On Gengzi night in June, Linzi King Li Longji, who had just returned from Luzhou, joined hands with Princess Taiping’s second son Xue Chongjian, Wanqi generals Ge Fushun, Chen Xuanli, former Yiwei Liu Youqiu, and others to force Xijingyuan Director Zhong Shaojing to open the passage of the Forbidden Garden. Soldiers broke into the palace.

The coup army captured the entire palace at a very fast speed. Empress Wei, Princess Anle and their party members were killed instantly on the spot.Shangguan Zhaorong presented to Li Longji the draft of his own edict to show his loyalty to the Li royal family, but he was still beheaded by Li Longji to sacrifice the flag.

At the end of the coup, Li Chongmao was forced to abdicate, Anguo Prime Minister Li Dan was proclaimed emperor, ascended the throne for the second time, and changed Yuan Jingyun.Three days later, Linzi King Li Longji was crowned crown prince.Princess Taiping has made great contributions again, sealing thousands of households, and her power is overwhelming.

The bloody coup had little to do with the three children.But they were also witnesses to the coup, seeing with their own eyes the behavior of their elders in the coup.

During that time, the three children were all confined to their homes and hadn’t been out of the house for a long time, and the Guozijian also suspended classes for several decades.The Zhang family in Qujiang kept a low profile and completely acted as bystanders during the coup.Princess Taiping's mansion and the current East Palace are the protagonists of the coup. During the coup, they were allies. However, after the coup, everything seemed to have taken a chilling change.

These days, Yin Ziji is very bored, and rarely happy.One is because she hasn't been out of the house for a long time, and she hasn't seen Mao Mao and Sister Lian Maid for a long time.Second, she knew that Aunt Shangguan had passed away.In fact, she had met Aunt Shangguan a few times, she liked Aunt Shangguan very much, and the relationship between Aunt Shangguan and her mother had always been pretty good.Aunt Shangguan taught her poetry, gave her sweets, and always loved to smile at her.

These days, my mother's mood has been very low.Although she doesn't show it very much, Yin Ziji can feel it.That day, she passed by her mother's study and heard a faint sigh in the room.Later, when his mother's attendant came out with a volume of books, Yin Ziji chased after him to grab it to read, but found that it was an epitaph written by his mother himself, and the attendant was about to take it to engrave a stele.

Yin Ziji didn't remember the previous passage, but she only remembered the last sentence, which made her so sad that she shed tears:

The water in Xiaoxiang is cut off, the mountains in Wanwei are tilted, the pearls are heavy and round, and the jade is broken into pieces.Just looking at the pines and trees, listening to the tombs quietly, long live the millennium, and singing the chants of pepper flowers.

From then on, Yin Ziji began to think for the first time why there are so many bloody killings and battles between people.

The author has something to say: There are about two chapters left in Qingyun

Regarding Tang Long's coup, I wrote it in a general way, but the details are actually very exciting. If you are interested, you can check it out.

Whether Li Xian, Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, was so-called poisoned by Empress Wei and An Le, or died of illness, is actually not conclusive, and I did not clearly state it in the article.

In addition, according to historical records, after the sudden death of Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian in Tang Dynasty, Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping secretly drew up the edict, and specially added the phrase "the prime minister is in charge of political affairs".Personally, I understand that this posthumous edict should only be issued after a compromise between Empress Wei and Taiping was reached.But afterwards, Empress Wei found a way to emptied Li Dan's so-called "consulting political affairs" power, which broke the balance.

Shangguan Wan'er is the first female secretary, and all the imperial edicts come from her.When she drafted this edict, she probably had a premonition that Empress Wei would fall in the future, so she kept a copy of the manuscript with her as evidence for protecting Li Tang's royal family.But unfortunately, he was killed by Li Longji in the end.A generation of talented women, the fragrance disappears and the jade dies.

The epitaph of Shangguan Wan'er is said to have been written by Taiping.In the text, I also adopted this statement.
