Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Until the end of this winter, people in Yujingzhong were still feeling that this year was really eventful.But overnight, the situation in the court changed.Before many people had time to be surprised, the matter was settled.People were stunned, but they kept their mouths shut in that strange and silent atmosphere, only daring to inquire about the inside story secretly.Those who are well-informed are coloring each other, thinking about which side they should stand on.

However, because there are so many mysteries involved, many things are very vague.The most widely circulated ones are those romantic scandals and romantic entanglements.This is something that everyone loves to hear, men, women, young and old, whispering it quietly and laughing knowingly.

This matter seems to have happened by accident, but if you dig deeper, you will find many clues.It was at the right time that it became a complete trap, gathering everyone related to it, and bursting out at the most appropriate moment.

The onlookers were all startled, and suddenly felt great.But thinking about it again, there are people who think it is reasonable.Even if the person in the whirlpool intends to defend a few words, they are unable to defend themselves.Just because it's all true, and no one thinks there's anything wrong with it.

These kinds of things will eventually become people's gossip and talk, things that are tainted with the love between men and women, stirring up a sudden change in the situation, always end in an ambiguous and light ending.

When the people in the palace talked about Shangshi's affair with Genji, they either covered their sleeves or hung their necks, sighing and mourning.Some say they don't believe it, and some say it really is.

"Who wouldn't admire General Genji's character?"

"That's right. I heard that the servant had a mutual admiration for Genji before he entered the palace."

"Ah, isn't this a pair of lovers who have been separated? It's really uncomfortable."

For a while, the tragic story of Xiao Qiang, who was waiting for a lover, was described.The details and emotions are sincere and tear-jerking, accompanied by the faint Japanese songs, people who are easily sad have already started crying.

Of course, there are also some people who complain for others.I only know that Mr. Genji has always been romantic and merciful everywhere.At this time, he did such things regardless of his face, which shows that he is a casual person without measure.It's just that Kong has a good appearance, so he acts recklessly.

"Everyone knows why the Minister of Shang came to the palace. He has done such a thing, and he has put the ministers of the court and China in the eyes."

"Exactly like this, the great future of the Royal Box Palace has been ruined, and I don't know how to stand up to others in the future."

"It's a pity that His Majesty's loving heart has been let down in vain like this."

This kind of discussion is based on my own selfishness, and I will help those who are more partial.You come and go, there are few conclusions.It seems that everyone here has deviations, and everyone deserves sympathy, and they all ended up in a helpless situation.

There are different opinions in the harem, but in the previous dynasty, the matter was much simpler.This matter was intentionally escalated, and at the most critical moment, the conflict was directed at the East Palace.

During the heated debate, someone suggested that since Genji was the guardian of the Eastern Palace, his own morality should not be convincing to the public.As for whether the Donggong disciples who grew up under his guidance have the ability to persuade others, it is a matter of consideration.

It doesn't matter if it's a trap, or it doesn't matter if it's a slap in the face.After clamoring to abolish the East Palace and support the truly talented and virtuous people, people from the left and the right took advantage of this to quarrel so much that they almost toppled the roof of the Zichen Palace.

Suzaku didn't say a word the whole time, his brows were tightly furrowed, his head hurting.The attitude of the Minister of the Ministry of War is also very strange, listening to the people below spitting and shouting with red ears.There seemed to be a strange smile on his mouth, which flashed and disappeared.

Finally, I heard a muffled sound coming from below. It turned out that an old minister was too excited to come up and passed out.The atmosphere in the hall became slightly stagnant because of this episode, and the ministers all looked at His Majesty on the throne.

Suzaku's headache got worse, and he waved his hand to signal the guards to move the minister aside, and then asked the imperial doctor to treat him.After a lot of fuss, the imperial doctor came to report that there was nothing serious and the person had already woken up.

There are still many traces left behind in the heated debate just now, and the sound of life and death is still buzzing in everyone's ears.Everyone was dizzy and blushing.But at this point, he still refused to give up, panting heavily and clenched his teeth, insisting that he must wait for His Majesty to give a result.But it was hard to see the expression on the delicate face hidden behind the curtain, and there was no sound from above.The confidence in the hearts of the people in the temple is not so strong anymore.

Whether it is someone who is expecting His Majesty to immediately announce the abolition of the East Palace and severely punish Genji's lineage, or someone who is lucky enough to hope that His Majesty will remember the brotherhood and not pursue this matter, they are starting to feel a little uneasy.

Although there was no sound, everyone could feel the restlessness lingering around them.The aura like boiling water was almost uncontrollable, and when it gushed out, a cold voice came from the imperial curtain: "Retire."

Everyone immediately exploded, and the quarrel and dissatisfaction were like a rising tide. Among them, a young courtier who was too upright stood up, as if he wanted to stop it.The desire to express was too obvious, and the people around him had no intention of blocking it.He only heard "Your Majesty—" as soon as he shouted, several figures blocked his sight.

These few are usually able-bodied generals under the Ying Palace, they only surrounded the young courtier and almost pushed him out.He was very dissatisfied and stretched his neck to continue shouting.Then he saw Ying Gongxia, who had been silent all this time, looking straight at him, his eyes seemed to be looking at such weak and incompetent bugs as Fuyou.

As if being stepped on the neck, some fierce words of loyalty were stuck in the mouth of the throat, and the cheeks were blushing, but they couldn't spit it out.He could only walk out dejectedly being half pushed and half pulled.

The others hadn't reacted yet, and they all looked at the Palace Minister of the Ministry of War who was in full swing in horror.Yingying didn't care, smiled very easily, and suggested leisurely: "Since there is no conclusion today, why don't we discuss it next time, Your Majesty?"

There was another frightening silence in the imperial tent, and then there was a voice: "Retire."

Then there was a pause, Suzaku's voice contained a trace of weakness that only Yinggong could detect.He said, "Firefly, you stay..."

·

This matter is indeed too important, Minister Zuo didn't care about his tired body after several days, and called many people to discuss countermeasures.Guessing from the worst plan, I just want not to lose too much because of this incident.

As for Mr. Genji, he thought the cause of the storm was to avoid suspicion, so it was not good to show it to others.However, he didn't have the face to meet his father-in-law who had been running around for him, and he didn't dare to write a letter to Zhonggong to express his suffering.This incident finally affected Donggong, he was already ashamed, so how dare he see her again casually.

And that precious daughter naturally didn't dare to contact her anymore, even if she couldn't see any information.Thinking that he was caught by the right minister in her boudoir, Genji felt extremely regretful.He dismissed the anger of the right minister, straightened his clothes and left.But it was this action that annoyed the powerful official even more, and involved the endless noise that followed.

The ashamed and annoyed general Genji could only hide in the Erjo courtyard to live in poverty and loneliness. Only when he saw Mrs. Zi's innocent smile that day, could he feel a bit of relief.

Since the Lord Attendant returned home with the reason of getting sick, he can only use this reason to stay in the mansion at this time.Originally, she was sad and sad, but after returning home, she was comforted by her sweetheart, and she felt much better.It's just that after being frightened by this, the sick thread that hadn't left before became more and more unwilling to leave, and it turned out to be more sick than before.

Naturally, she had heard about the outside affairs, and the attendants at home were also talking about it.The more Obscure Moonlight listened, the more painful and indignant she became, almost wanting to die.The personal maids took pity on her and did not let the news spoil the patient's ears.

It's a pity that Obscure Moon Ye has a concern in her heart, the more she is not allowed to listen, the more she wants to know.Such a cycle in the past is really of no benefit at all, it just adds a sigh for nothing.

Zhong Nayan cursed the maid who urged the servant to write a letter to the general almost day and night, as if without her, there would be no such incidents in the future.He also complained that Shang Shi credulously believed in people's words, why didn't he listen to his persuasion.Obscure Moon Ye washed her face with tears, covered her face with crying, and couldn't say anything.The originally plump and soft cheeks quickly became thin and sallow.

And the most difficult thing to deal with was the anger of the empress dowager in the palace.

After the incident, the Empress Dowager of Honghui Palace returned to the mansion once.That time, the sharp and angry curses that came from the servant's room scared the people at the door to hide their heads in their sleeves.I wish I could hide my ears, as if I didn't hear those voices.Some people clasped their hands together and kept praying in front of their chests, hoping that this torture would end soon.

After the empress dowager left, there was a faint cry from the servant's room.The grief is so extreme that it makes people feel horrified.His arms were trembling, and no matter what he did, he couldn't dispel the chill.

In this matter, the most innocent person is His Royal Highness Quan.Because of the indiscretion of the adults, he did things that were detrimental to his dignity, and he suffered an unreasonable disaster.

Fortunately, Yinggong and Zhonggongxia reached an agreement on this matter. Although there was a lot of turmoil outside, Donggongxia was still well protected—to prevent him from being affected by unknown influences.

It's just that with this child's level of intelligence, from the overly peaceful atmosphere around him, he somewhat sensed the current bad situation.While obediently keeping out of the spotlight, so as not to be caught at the moment and make a fuss out of the mistakes, he is also secretly looking for the key.

People and things from all sides are stuck together at this time, forming an unsolvable knot.They all raised their necks and looked at the sky to see which direction the wind would blow the heavy clouds.
