The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

On the ninth day of the eleventh lunar month, the funeral procession was completed, and the funeral procession stopped in the West Palace, and the ministers and officials held the funeral ceremony.

That is to say, on the seventh day after the emperor's death, the body was formally encased in the coffin and moved to the West Palace where the previous emperors were buried.On this day, all the ministers and officials put on filial piety, cried and worshiped. The 36-day national funeral and filial piety period also starts from this day.Officials of sufficient grade from other places have rushed back if they can.Those who can't come back in time will attend the funeral after three months, which is considered a full courtier's righteousness.

For example, Marquis Wei in the northwest and Marquis Ying in the southeast are all scheduled to come back to attend the funeral.

The royal family has its own method for disposing of corpses. In summer, a special person is responsible for using ice.It was Dongyue at this time, which saved a lot of trouble.Wrapped in various spices and medicines, the dead emperor looked unchanged.The face is lifelike, and the smile on the deathbed is still hanging on the face, really smiling in Jiuquan.The ministers who got to see the remains were amazed and moved to tears.Based on this alone, the prince has immeasurable merit.

It was only at this time that Song Wei realized how much her father had made full use of her own death.He has seen many emperors before and after, directly and indirectly.All of those things added up are not as powerful as this.In this life, he was fortunate enough to be his son, maybe... he has been improved genetically?

The last part of the funeral ceremony is to read the prince's succession edict.

The officials kowtowed three times in front of the coffin in the West Palace and asked His Royal Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible to show their loyalty to the late emperor.

For the first time, Song Wei felt that the future was not so bleak.And in front of meager self-confidence, it seems that I can finally not add the word "blind" as an attributive.

The funeral ceremony is over, and all civil and military officials are waiting for the crown prince's enthronement ceremony the next day.Since then, it has entered a new era of the new king, inheriting the past and ushering in the future, and reforming the past and reforming the new.

Dugu Mian left the palace after the ceremony, quietly went to the Prince's Mansion, and asked to see the Crown Princess.

Today is the first night of the late emperor's funeral, the prince will definitely not leave the palace.And after the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, the princess will enter the palace with the prince again, so it is almost impossible to meet in private.What's more, after the enthronement ceremony, Xianhou must immediately set off for the southeast, and after a proper handover, he will return to Beijing in exchange for Yinghou to attend the funeral of the late emperor three months later.

In the past few days, Dugu Mian took the time to go to Duke Cheng's mansion to have a look at the two sons, and knew that the prince personally entrusted the two young sons of Xianhou to Mrs. Yuwen.And although the old man at home has his own confidant subordinates to take care of him, if anything happens, the subordinates can't be the masters.

All of this cannot avoid the Crown Princess.What's more... the crown princess is pregnant.

No matter what the reason is, Marquis Xian needs to see his daughter before leaving.

He didn't know how much psychological construction he had done, and he procrastinated until he could no longer procrastinate, and finally went to the Prince's Mansion alone.

At the time of the national mourning, the inside and outside of the Prince's Mansion were completely white.It was almost dusk, but due to the reflection of the white silk, I could still see clearly in all directions.

The princess asked Xianhou to meet in the inner room, and Dugu paused for a while.It immediately occurred to her that the princess was raising her baby at home, so she might not be able to move lightly.

He is actually very familiar with the inner house in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.Subconsciously looked at the equipment and positions of the guards, then nodded secretly.Walking in gradually, there are fewer and fewer servants.When they got to the corridor of the main house, only the two maidservants from the original Hou's mansion stood guard at the door, respectfully saluted and invited Lord Hou to enter.After Dugu stepped into the door and continued to walk in, only then did he realize that there was no one idle in the room.

What I saw before my eyes was quite unusual.He couldn't help speeding up, walked into the last door in a few steps, bypassed the screen, and saw his daughter standing in the middle, looking up towards him.

"Daddy. My daughter is waiting for Daddy. I'm afraid Daddy won't come."

Dugu Ying deliberately changed out of the baggy linen filial piety temporarily, and wore a plain shirt that showed off her waist.The lower abdomen is raised and can be seen at a glance.Even though Dugu didn't have much personal experience, she knew that this was definitely not what a one-month pregnancy should look like.

He even forgot to meet the etiquette, and asked in surprise: "Ying'er! Are you...?!"

Duguying supported the pillar of the bed and slowly knelt down: "Father, my daughter is not filial, and she confessed to her father today that the fetus in her womb is not the flesh and blood of His Royal Highness."

"You, what did you say?!" Dugu Mian felt that it must be due to being too busy and hard these days, so that he had auditory hallucinations.Putting her hands on the screen, she asked again, "Ying'er, what did you just... say?"

Dugu Ying spoke more slowly, uttering each word slowly: "What the daughter said is that the fetus in the womb is not the flesh and blood of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is compassionate and takes the daughter here in an extraordinary way..."

"Crack!" Where Dugu Xian pressed his palm, the screen mirror inlaid with marble carvings suddenly cracked, instantly shattered into countless pieces of various sizes, and fell down with crackles.

"Daddy!" Duguying exclaimed.

Dugu woke up in an instant, quickly picked up the felt on the ground, and caught the gravel, so as not to alarm the guards outside.

He took a few deep breaths, looked at his daughter, and said slowly, "Get up first."

After Dugu Ying stood up and sat firmly on the couch, he said in a deep voice, "What's going on? If you want to confess, then confess to the end, and you must not hide anything."

Dugu Ying didn't intend to continue to hide it from him at first, starting from meeting the emperor's grandson Song Luo a year and a half ago, he started to talk about it in detail.Dugu Mian occasionally asked questions and answered them one by one.Speaking of the attempted abortion, which almost killed two people, Xianhou subconsciously picked up a stone and crushed it to pieces.Speaking of the attempted coercion, the deal with the sixth prince broke down and the second stone was crushed.Speaking of Li Yi's message, the two sides formed an alliance and crushed the third stone.When it comes to cheating during pregnancy, with the emperor's heart at ease, he is going to hide the truth and continue cheating, passing the emperor's great-grandson as the emperor's great-grandson.

Shaking his fingers and pointing at his daughter: "You, you..."

Dugu Ying said calmly: "I promised Your Highness that I will never disclose this matter before His Majesty dies. I heard the bad news on the third day of the lunar new year, and I couldn't go out, and it was inconvenient to send a message, so I have been waiting for my father. My daughter is only worried... Daddy is sad Under the circumstances, he didn't want to go to the door, so he went far southeast. If it is true..."

Dugu didn't have the patience to waste it here any longer, he turned around abruptly and strode away.

It was three o'clock at this time.He rode his horse and galloped on the royal road in the capital. It was early winter and the night wind was bitter, but the fire that was simmering in his heart was raging, and his whole body seemed to be on fire.

Today is a big funeral, and the city is heavily guarded.Soon there were guard officers and soldiers patrolling the city chasing and intercepting the night walkers.After Dugu reined in his horse and stopped, it seemed like Shura was in power in the night.Before he could show his badge, the leading officer had already recognized the face of Marquis Xian, and immediately saluted and let him go.

Dugu Mian ran out of the palace gate in one breath.He knew that he shouldn't be so impulsive. In this extraordinary period, every move of Xianhou may cause trouble.However, he didn't know if he couldn't see him right away, would he be directly burned to ashes by the fire of karma in his heart.

Wei Guan listened to his subordinates reporting that Marquis Xian entered the palace in the middle of the night and hurried out to check.

"I want to see Your Highness."

Wei Guan was in a dilemma: "Your Highness didn't come out of the West Palace until the time passed. Unless it's an emergency military situation, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Dugu said: "It is more urgent than the military situation. I have Lao Yihou to help me ask. If His Highness says no, I will wait here until the early morning."

Wei Guan had nothing to do with him, he went in to pass on a message while muttering.After a while, he came out again, and said: "Your Highness is still not asleep, anyway, you are here, please persuade me."

The prince is still sleeping in the warm pavilion of the bedroom.The servant on duty at night sent Marquis Xian to the door and then stopped.

After Dugu regained his composure, he raised his legs and walked in.Strange to say, as soon as he entered this door, his mood, which was burning like boiling water, suddenly calmed down.

Song Wei was sitting cross-legged on the bed, surrounded by a mess, the bed was covered with yellow silk memorials.

Hearing footsteps, he raised his head and said, "What are you doing here?"

Dugu looked at him.In the candlelight, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyebrows and eyes were as clear as ink lines.

Suddenly I couldn't think of anything, I just asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I can't sleep. I'm going to be enthroned in a few hours, so I'm nervous. Look at my father's previous papers, and find out what it feels like to be a wise king."

Dugu didn't know what to answer.

But Song Wei asked again: "What are you doing here?"

Dugu later thought: Yes, what am I here for?Things have come to this, what else can be done?

His mind suddenly became clear, he knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed in a big salute.

"After the enthronement ceremony of Your Highness, I immediately set off for the southeast. Before leaving, I only have one request."

Song Wei put down the thing in her hand: "Say it."

"Chen... Your Highness, please, Yun Chen bids farewell to His Highness in private."

Song Wei complained in her heart, what the hell are you doing right now?Breaking in in the middle of the night to keep people from sleeping, and not to bid farewell in private?Nodding with a straight face: "Success, you resign."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Dugu stood up, walked over to the bedside, picked up Song Wei's clothes and put them on him.

Song Wei struggled a bit, felt the arms around her tighten suddenly, and simply stopped moving, to see what this guy was going to do.

Because the enthronement ceremony must wear the crown, and it will be replaced after the filial obedience, so at this time Song Wei is wearing a common attire.It was cold and cool at night, and the ground dragon in the bedroom was already on fire, and the inside and outside together, it was only two or three layers of single shirt.Dugu Mian hesitated for a moment, time was running out, it would be troublesome to ask the chief servant to fetch the coat and cloak temporarily.Pulling off the warmest silk quilt on the bed, she wrapped Song Wei up, picked her up and walked outside.

Song Wei couldn't help it now: "Hey! You bastard, what are you doing?"

"As I said, I bid farewell to Your Highness."

"Farewell to your mother! You are going to elope with me now, and I will quit! I am waiting to be emperor, what are you scum..."

Dugu put his chin on the top of his head, and suddenly called out: "Xiaoyin."

Song Wei's voice stopped abruptly as if someone had strangled her neck.

"Xiao Yin, don't be afraid. I'll take you to relax."

The person in his arms didn't speak.Dugu Mian hugged him tighter, and carried him all the way out of the palace gate, frightening the servants on duty and Yihou at the gate dumbfounded.

"Xian, Marquis Xian, what is this..." Wei Guan's brain was wide open, and his first reaction was that Marquis Xian hijacked the prince to rebel.However, the crown prince will soon ascend the throne. With the power of Xianhou, how can there be any need to rebel?Immediately, he wondered if the two of them were going to elope, because they would lose all the glory and wealth of the country and society.Feeling very likely, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "You, you put His Highness down..."

Song Wei exposed half of his head from Dugu's shoulder, and blinked at Wei Guan: "I can't sleep, so ask him to take me out to relax. You can bring some reliable people to follow."

Before Yihou could stop him, Xianhou had already carried His Highness the Crown Prince straight out of the palace gate.Quickly ordered a team of people and followed closely.

Wei Guan thought that the two were just walking in the palace, but after a while, he realized that Dugu Mian led the prince straight out of the side palace gate, got on his horse, and galloped towards the east of the city.Fortunately, Marquis Xian still remembered to control his speed and kept a safe distance of several feet from the guards behind him.

Wei Guan almost wanted to cry but had no tears.On the eve of the crown prince's ascension to the throne, the prince insisted on going out of the palace with his old friend to relax or something. What kind of trouble is it?Fortunately, after running for a while, he recognized that he was walking in the direction of Luoxia Lake and Chongming Mountain.In the middle of the night, there was no one at all, so it would not disturb the people or leak news.Temporarily send people to inform Su Fang, the deputy commander of the patrolling garrison, to allocate manpower and guard along the way.

Dugu Xing let him arrange and dispatch, only cared about wrapping the person in his arms tightly: "Xiaoyin, if you are sleepy, go to sleep for a while."

This sentence was like a mantra, Song Wei immediately became extremely sleepy. With a sound of "hmm", amidst the clatter of horseshoes in the quiet cold night, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he was slapped awake, the sound of horseshoes had disappeared.He slowly opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eyes was Dugu's sculpted jaw and chest.Turning his head, he saw a thick deep purple in the sky, and where the sky and the earth meet, there are a few strands of dark gold horizontally, like red-hot iron wires.

"This is... the top of Chongming Mountain?"

"Yes, the top of Chongming Mountain."

Song moved slightly, wanting to see more clearly.Dugu Mian immediately hugged him and sat up straight, leaning against her chest.

The absolute altitude of Chongming Mountain is limited, and it is not as good as Shihu Mountain in the western suburbs.However, this mountain is located in the city, and it is the commanding height of the entire capital, and the sights of Kyoto are all in sight.Daxia's terrain is low in the southeast and high in the northwest.From the east to the south of Yuancheng, Kyoto, there is a large open plain.Standing on the top of Chongming Mountain and looking to the southeast, you have a very good view, and you can enjoy the richest and most beautiful part of Daxia.

The sun hadn't come out yet.But the darkest period before dawn is over.Silhouetted city silhouettes can be seen in the early morning light.The rivers and lakes are shimmering, and the fishing lights and street lights are flickering and jumping.In the silence and tranquility, the coming vitality is bred.The overlapping pavilions and pavilions extend in all directions, and the tallest, majestic, gorgeous and magnificent building in the south is where the imperial palace is located.

Song Wei murmured: "I've never been here before."

Dugu Mian was holding back his words originally, and wanted to wait for him to wake up and question him.However, standing on the top of the mountain with the sleeping person in his arms for a while, those questions with resentment seemed to be blown away by the mountain wind and disappeared without a trace.And those long-accumulated guilt, heartache and worries have also turned into speechless rocks under their feet, silent but firm.

Hearing what Song Wei said, she smiled and said, "You will come here often in the future. When His Majesty used to be in good health, he would lead all the officials to climb high on the Double Ninth Festival, and at the turn of autumn and winter, he would often hunt at the foot of the mountain."

Song Wei curled her lips: "Even if I take a nap, my father will hold me down until three years later. Climbing up and hunting, the year of the monkey is gone."

"No. Climbing and hunting is not only for leisure and relaxation, but also for exorcising evil spirits and praying for blessings. It is also a major event to promote power and martial arts, and it can also be in harmony with the monarch and ministers. As long as you want to come, you can come every year, it just depends on how you do it."

Song Wei couldn't help grinning.The three princes will definitely not teach His Royal Highness the high-level skills of playing and entertaining in a legitimate way.

Dugu Mian continued: "Xiao Yin, as long as you stand here, even if I am in the southeast, I will definitely be able to see you."

Lowering her head, she put it close to Song Wei's ear: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Yin. When you are in a bad mood, come here. I will always watch over you and stay with you. This is your world, your world. No matter what Wherever I am, I will keep you and protect you. When you are happy, I will be happy; when you are sad, I will be sad; when you live, I will live; if you die, I will die. Xiaoyin, I promised Things, only now... can finally be done."

In the distance, the sun under the sea looked like a child who couldn't wake up, lazily protruding half of his face from under the quilt.It retracts for a while, and stretches out for a while.Finally he yawned and jumped up.In an instant, the golden light poured out, and the whole world was quickly coated with a dazzling golden red from far to near.When the color of the morning light no longer hurts the eyes, you can see the floating clouds, the flying birds, the frost on the grass and trees, and the smoke from the kitchen... everything in the world and the prosperity of the world can be seen in your eyes.

Dugu Xian said softly: "Xiao Yin, look...isn't it beautiful? All of this belongs to you. I know that you don't want it to be covered with dust, and you don't want it to be broken into pieces. You can do it. You Will protect it. Like... I protect you."

Song Wei thought: So I was wrong all along.

I thought that living a new life again was to recognize reality, learn lessons, and avoid danger.But I didn't expect that it was to surpass myself who had failed countless times in the past.

I used to be unwilling and unhappy, the smoke disappeared, and the snow cleared.

Looking up, her long eyelashes were moist and crystal clear as if stained with morning dew: "Then... when will you come back?"

"Come back when you want me to."

Chaoyang's pace gradually accelerated.The first ray of sunlight fell on the top of the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, the highest point in Miyagi.

"when--!"

Song Wei was startled.

Dugu said: "It's too late. The enthronement ceremony will start at the time of the enthronement ceremony. Now it's just to open the palace gate."

The morning bell is melodious, and the palace gates are opened one after another.

Looking from the top of the mountain, a broad avenue stretches out amidst the splendor of gold and jade, waiting for the arrival of the new king.

Postscript/Blog and Goodbye Jiang Hu

Before digging this hole, I joked that in my heart, "Danqing" is a story about beauty, "Gentleness" is a story about kindness, and "Fengya" is a story about truth.Next, I want to write a free and easy story.

So there is "The Story of a Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate".

People who write stories are not philosophers.But there is always a reason for the story.So Ah Du will tell you the reason for writing this story.

In the process of growing up, it is probably inevitable that people will be bound by love, responsibility, forced situations, and difficulties beyond their power... and cannot be free.For example, Xiaoyin.Of course he can leave early, but a heart that lacks love wanders around, that is loneliness, not freedom.

Xiaoyin has been reincarnated in several lives, but he has no courage, but has always lacked the corresponding wisdom and ability. The responsibilities he shouldered finally overwhelmed him, and the love he sought was like a mirror, and it came to naught.

At the very beginning of this life, he accumulated a little wisdom, but lost the most precious courage.Fortunately, I still know how to grasp love.Because she couldn't bear to love, she finally found her courage and honed her wisdom and ability.

Therefore, only when we have the courage to take responsibility because of love, and hone the wisdom and ability to match it, can we truly be free.

Just like Xiaoyin will be a good emperor in this life, and a happy emperor.

In fact, whenever we face love and responsibility and feel unfree, it is probably because of lack of courage or lack of ability.

Personal morality, especially below the waistband, is not a big problem in this story.For this point, you can refer to Liuliuqin's long comment (thank you very much for allowing me to explain a lot less).I think that readers who have high requirements for personal morality will be scared away in the first three chapters.So there were so many moral guards in the comment area, it was dumbfounded... lol.This is probably due to my underestimation of the pertinence and multiple standards of the critique of private morality.

In this story, although private morality is not very particular, public morality is actually quite particular.Therefore, officials are good officials in the news broadcast style, and the emperor is a wise emperor in the style of official history and biographies.In a world that emphasizes public morality rather than private morality, ordinary people have a higher degree of freedom.Fall in love and go to bed, do business and travel, sing a ditty and sell art, take the imperial examination to become an official, practice martial arts and become a family... There are many opportunities, life is rich and free.

Compared with the household registration restrictions, you can't go to school locally, and building a private house may be demolished at any time... (This sentence is random entry, delete it)

In short, this is a relatively free world that Adu imagined. If I also travel through, I hope to travel through the past.You can be Gao Peiniang at the bottom, and Duguying at the top.Cui Zhen is also good (Zhen Niang is not dead, she is alive and well).Even if you're Song Manji, my mother, Miss Xue Fourth, or the mother-in-law and little girl who sells soup and cakes... life is good.The concubine of Master Hou's family is fine, that is a special case.

The above are the two reasons for this story.I won't say much about other nonsense.Thank you for your support and encouragement all the way, and this concludes the text.As for Fanwai, if you make a blog, you must work hard to write ([-] to [-] words), if you don’t make a blog, it depends on your mood.
