Sad Jiangnan

On July 49's funeral, everyone in Onomiya was locked in the mansion, chanting Buddhist scriptures and praying for the former minister of the imperial court.At this time, there is a vacancy in the Taizheng Minister, and the new Guan Bai or a high-ranking minister should be in charge.However, due to the love of the former Taizheng minister for Zhongzi, he has not selected Guan Bai's successor to present to His Majesty the emperor, thus planting the root of disaster.

The father's brother, the right minister who lives in Jiutiao Hall, often visits the hall, and even stays in the confinement. The news of asking for Guan Bai's position on the grounds that "Guan Bai should be held by an older person" quickly spread to Ono Palace.In the eyes of Fujita Nayan, this behavior is so funny that it is almost a clown.The elder brother who won the emperor's trust by taking the "Pharmaceutical of Immortality" bestowed by the emperor is already the best candidate for Guan Bai Wanji.However, the development of the situation is still beyond everyone's expectations.

In the late spring of the year of his father's death, Emperor Yi's jade body was weak and he could not bear the weight of state affairs, so he resigned as an emperor and appointed Guan Bai, a minister of Jiutiao Palace, to assist Emperor Suzaku who had just practiced Zuo.

The Suzaku prince, who was born to his father's close aunt, had his father take Fujidai Nagan's older sister, Takako, as the sleeping partner during the coronation ceremony, thus establishing Onomiyaru's pivotal position in the court.In his father's seamless plan, as long as the stator gave birth to Donggong, Nadeshiko, who was an adult at that time, would be able to serve him by his side, thus ensuring the prosperity of Onomiya for decades.

As if to avenge his father's cleverness, Suzaku showed a different appearance from ordinary people before he was an adult.At first, in Dr. Wen's calligraphy class, he painted men's private parts like no one else was there.When I was a little older, I started to climb the fir trees and buildings inside, and when I saw the ministers passing by, I would sing to them ostentatiously.Hiding snakes in his wife's quilt, stealing the magic sword and mirror in the inner house, and so on, countless evil deeds.

Extraordinary madness and a mind like a baby's was always the number one thing that kept fathers up at night.Three years after her sister married Suzaku, she still had no children.Such an Eastern Palace is like the rope binding Tang Guozi, and it is doomed that there is no reason to use it a second time.I used to think that it was the most bizarre thing for this person to ascend the throne.

Confirming the new East Palace before the enthronement ceremony is a rule of the court.In view of this reason, the funeral was not yet over, and Fujita Nayan hurried to the inside.But in front of the northern formation of Zuobingwei Mansion, he was intercepted by Jinwei Sheren.

Dozens of martial guards, equipped with bows, arrows and swords, are waiting for Fuji Da Nayan's visit.When he got off the bullock cart, the leader Sheren said, "It doesn't matter if you are an adult from Onomiya, are people in mourning clothes allowed to go to the palace?"

The attendant of the vanguard said, "This is a joke. What kind of master are you serving? My lord here is the Nayan of the three. If you sincerely want to stop it, you should at least come to confront it yourself." As he said, he thought They wanted to drive those people away, but the other party showed their knives.Soon his attendants stopped.

Fujida Nayan thought, in this sleepless night, my uncle is about to get his wish.If I do something that hinders his establishment of the East Palace, of course I will be resented by him.Forcibly going to the palace during the funeral will also be criticized by the world.It is really the number one thing that is thankless.But, should we just go back like this?

At this moment, another car came in through Yangming Gate.The stalemate retainers and palace guards watched together.The car pulled up in front of him, and a man in regular uniform got on and off the car calmly.The white mask on his face was shining brightly from the torch.

Teng Da Nayan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help shouting, "Brother!"

The sound was drowned in the wind.Minister Fujiuchi walked straight forward.The iron-walled team unexpectedly broke a gap—the guards in front of my brother took a few steps back.The servant said quickly, "The courtiers in the period of severe mourning are not allowed to enter the inside."

What will my brother do?Just break in?Or is it like insulting Dingguang Dajin and his retainers to frighten this group of traitors?If the two sides broke out an irreversible fighting, Song Ming would all fall, and the imperial court would be in a mess... Thinking of this, Teng Da Nayan's palms were full of sweat.

The white mask is still in the night.There is a wind from the northeast, and the fire on the mask flickers on and off.Minister Fujiuchi didn't say a word, but suddenly turned around and walked to the original ox cart.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and there were even conversations among the guards.

Fuji Danayan seemed to be on a crumbling dead branch, but his mood was even more disturbed than before.He stopped in front of his brother, "At this point, let's forget it? If you can't even get involved in these things, what will you do in the future?..." Fuji Da Nayan suddenly thought that he was instigating.

The elder brother ignored him and went behind the curtain of the car. "Gulu Gulu" the wheels turned and rolled over the flat land, and the elegant car quickly disappeared from sight.

The next day, the news that the Minister of Jiutiaodian appointed his grandson, Prince Hengping, as the emperor's younger brother was sung in the streets and alleys.Brother's premiere seems to be coming to an end.

The enthronement ceremony was originally going to be held in the Great Pole Hall.But teaching a mentally disturbed prince to be the Lord of the Golden Wheel is really against the principles of human relations and nature, and I am afraid that God will not allow it!Out of such concerns, the ceremony was only arranged in the Zichen Hall of the Emperor's Residence, and it was done hastily.

However, the Emperor Suzaku of that day was cautious in every word and deed, and showed a more courteous look than ordinary ministers and ministers.When he received the Xi sword, he was very dignified, which is indeed extremely rare and frightening.Even at the celebration of the Dachang Sacrifice, the dignified and majestic behavior was almost the same as that of the emperor when he was young.Could it be that there is a ghost behind him appearing?

Therefore, the Minister of Jiutiaodian, who was very jealous, had repeatedly persuaded Emperor Suzaku to give way to Taidi.But this fool never agreed, and coaxed him with the promise of "treating the abdicated Zhuqueyuan the same way as the emperor", but he seemed to be controlled by others, and only showed an attitude of ignorant rejection.The wish of the Minister of Jiutiaodian was once in a half-baked ambiguity.

After the death of his father, the building of the main hall was inherited by his elder brother.Fujida Nayan moved to the west hall where his brother originally lived.Even though it was the time of mourning when the voice of Fahuazhi could be heard endlessly, his elder brother rarely appeared in Onomiya.There was a time when, out of nowhere, I always felt that on the night of heavy rain, everything my brother said to me still had the possibility of venting.Now it seems that it is a long-planned notification process.

Even under these circumstances, my elder brother still refused to give up the internal reading, and was able to serve the imperial court with his talents and learning above the Jiutiao Palace, preparing to be His Majesty's advisor.But if Prince Hengping becomes the emperor, the best destination may be to resign from his official position and escape into Buddhism.

A few days after the mourning clothes were removed, an envoy from Changgu Temple came to report, "Prince Hengping has become a monk." At first, I thought it was some kind of funny show, and it played out quite like this of.But when you really come to the inside, all the furnishings in the Lihuyuan are being moved out from the inside.I ran into a talking head and asked him what was going on.Toubian's reply is exactly the same as the lines of the parody.

"In the night of the twelfth day, he suddenly left home, and he didn't even have time to bring his close ministers with him. It was too abrupt."

"What, how is this possible? You can hear rumors in other words, right?" Prince Hengping was born to the daughter of Lihu Nvyu, the daughter of the ministers of the Jiutiao Palace. He is the one with the best moral character among the princes. In fact, the emperor also loves him very much.

"Well, it seems that you don't believe it."

"Of course, who has such a great ability to make this 'Emperor Emperor' jade broken?"

There are two fireflies in Toubian's eyes, "Me."

It seems to be a casual word, but it is a sincere word, and most people don't believe it.Fujita Nayan suddenly pulled him aside and asked in a low voice, "What did you do?"

"Don't be so nervous. It's okay if I tell you. I've told many people."

"what?"

Toubian lifted Fujida Nayan's hand and walked away from him, "That night, I stayed with Donggong."

"and then?"

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous, everyone will know." Toubian's expression was rather smug.Fujita Nayan's buzzing head quieted down now.Or, in the end, it's just a gimmick.It's not enough to do reckless things right next to Qingliang Hall.Fujita said, "Tell me about it."

"Donggong looks very old, right? In fact, he is a child at all. He has no opinions at all. His hobbies and even his marriage are all decided by the two ancestors of Lihu Nv Yu and You Minister. But you don't know, even before the funeral, you I don’t even bother to look at him. It’s just such a person. I serve him by his side. If there is something to go out, I will bring him gadgets that the palace can’t see. He treats me like a brother. Talking about everything at once. The question I hear no less than ten times a day is "What should I do?" How can a prince say such a thing? Oh, thousands of times, how many times have I heard it? I really can't count. So one day I said, let’s just become a monk. Of course he was dumbfounded, how could he say he was a monk? Actually, I could see that this child was a little shaken in his heart. Blame it on his mother, all day long It’s really not a good thing if the children are interested in hearing it. It’s really weird at this time. I don’t know where the bell is ringing, but it’s heard inside. The sound is so sad I said to him solemnly, "Think about it, even though the current power is in the hands of your grandfather, even though Minister Fujiuchi has lost, he still holds the power of internal inspection." The two 'Guan Bai' stand together in the imperial court. There was no such situation in the previous dynasty. If you become the emperor, where will your child become the East Palace? Before angering them, leave the place of right and wrong. .' Saying this, his tears were about to fall. I felt funny in my heart. Although it was true, it wouldn’t be that far. In the evening, the maid of Lihu held a Buddha repentance meeting again. The mage’s chanting I heard it in my ears, and my heart was beating non-stop. I took Donggong's hand and said, I can no longer leave this dunya now, what chance do I have in the future? I ran all the way to the upper west gate, where I had already prepared the car. Fu Donggong entered, and the car started to run. He didn't want me to be so considerate, so he asked me, would he always be by his side? I said, don't ask me this kind of similarity to 'will you love me forever' If so. We both laughed."

Fujita Nayan was stunned for a while, then asked, "What happened next?"

"Do you still want to ask?" Toubian said and laughed here.

"After he became a monk, how did you come back?"

"I said, 'I'm different from you. My parents are very old. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back home after going out to receive precepts like this. Let's go and see my parents.' Seeing that I was very sad, he had to say, 'So quickly Go back quickly.'”

The fingers that were twisting were accidentally slipped, and the nails scraped into the flesh. Fujita Nayan clenched his teeth in pain, "Is it all arranged by my brother?"

Toubian looked at himself, although he didn't speak, it was clearer than any verbal answer.

One night not long after, it was raining sporadically.In the boundless rain, a man wearing a bamboo hat jumped into the hall like a mouse.The mouse-like man told Fuji Da Nayan that the Minister of Kujo Hall had a secret matter to discuss with him.Therefore, I opened the knotted letter that was not accompanied by a gift, but I saw it written in thick ink, no matter how it is used to deceive people, please come to Jiutiao Hall quietly, and don't let others know.

Fujida Nayan's hands were trembling, "What else did he say?"

"Think about it slowly."

"that is it?"

"It's up to you to decide." It was unclear whether it was the messenger's perfunctory words or the uncle's original words. There were still dirty water stains on the folded black hat, and countless small holes were smashed on the floor along the ends of the hair.

"It's really bad."

After the messenger left, he left a path of water in the room.

The waning moon was hanging in the sky, and Teng Da Nayan rode out on horseback, and even brought only his closest entourage, Ruojun, with him.The two sneaked in the humid night, and soon came to the Jiutiao Hall in Nanjing.After Ruojun went in to make an announcement, the gate opened, and flea-like attendants crawled into the street and drove Teng Da Nayan's horse into the fence.

On the middle porch facing the east gate, his uncle was standing there and greeted him, "You are really brave, haven't you met any robbers?"

"If we really meet, the many people we bring may not be useful, right?"

"Haha, are you so useless?"

"Maybe it's not necessarily true for you. But in my house, many people would run away just by seeing the fish killed." In fact, this uncle didn't meet a few times in the weekdays.But today, for some unknown reason, they talked naturally, and the tone and expression of the two were very natural.

"That's interesting. Who are the fish killers? Then we have to bring them along."

Fujita Nayan untied the knife, threw it on the ground with a "kuangdang" and said, "Me."

This majestic appearance is still a passable imitation, right?In fact, I've been thinking about saying that for a while and giving it a try.Half of the originally majestic smile on the uncle's face disappeared.

"Come in and sit."

The two of them sat together on the tatami mats in the inner room, and on the screens with seascapes from unknown places, there was an ancient song [5] inscribed with "Namba Tsu flowers blooming", which was very elegant.But my uncle didn't know that things with pseudonyms to show off elegance, such as lame articles that are half-literal, or Chinese poems that seem to be very interesting but are lonely, are all like imitations and miss the point.

"Shall I drink tea?"

"Tea?"

Saying this, a woman in very classic clothes was called, holding something puffed up like a morning glory, or more like a purple fruit?It seems that I have seen it before, is it called a tea whisk?The woman's hands seemed to be epileptic, and she kept stirring back and forth in a round-mouthed porcelain. Anyway, it was a bit noisy.After an unknown amount of time, each person had a bowl and poured the frothy tea juice into it.If it is tea, it is actually too cloudy.After the uncle took a sip, he looked at himself, and he had no choice but to take a sip.

"How about it?"

"not so good."

"It's precious! Hey."

I have never liked the so-called treasures such as tea and wine. In fact, it is better to take out some honey and mix some water to satisfy my hunger.

"It's not good." He told himself the truth.

Uncle was silent for a while, then said, "Let's talk about business."
