Empress of the Northern Zhou Dynasty

Ashina left the palace, this was a decision she had to make.Because the two personalities are too extreme, the integration is not smooth. If it goes on for a long time, I am afraid that they will really have a nervous breakdown.In the palace, there are many people who must come to report every day, such as the imperial physician, Zhen'er Hui'er, and the concubines who are asking for peace. Ashina has to assume the previous posture, which is really exhausting.She was afraid that if she couldn't hold back, she would stab someone.

He ordered people to choose a quiet Buddhist temple, and meditation is good for peace of mind.

Of course, she didn't feel that she should discuss this decision with Yu Wenyong at all.Since he didn't have the courage to see himself, she was happy to be at ease.

So, on the day when the queen left the palace, Yu Wenyong was in the morning court.In fact, he knew that Ashina was going to leave the palace, and thinking that the court and harem would not be peaceful today, he might as well let her go to a clean place, and pick her up after he settled everything.However, he never thought that even if Ashina left, he never thought of telling himself.Just like that, when he left, he was only given this sentence - I don't know how to meet the king.

My heart is full of bitterness. "Shenju, send someone to secretly protect the queen's safety." Yu Wenyong tightly squeezed the letter in his hand, how much he wanted to leave with her, but he was an emperor, and there were too many things to deal with in the court.There was an accident in Qi State, and Gao Zhan didn't forget to give him a blow before he abdicated.A lot of lurking Anzi had been pulled out, and Chen Guo was about to make a move.

"Yes."

Shenju felt that the emperor's arrangement was very appropriate.Only those ordinary guards, he is not very relieved.So after receiving the order, I went to pick people up in person.

Ashina sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the curtain, his depressed and irritable mood finally turned a little bit.After walking out of Zhou Kingdom's palace, even those unpleasant things in the palace can be forgotten for a while.

"Your Majesty, it's a long way from Tianbao Temple, why don't you take a rest." A Liya followed outside the carriage and said to the queen inside.After these days of adaptation, I finally no longer feel afraid of Ashina.

"Ah."

The queen's phoenix is ​​big enough for Ashina to lie down with others. Even if she can't sleep, she prefers to lie down before her body recovers.

Hurry up on a bumpy road, and walk on a mountain road, how can there be no bumps.Enduring the feeling of vomiting, Ashina frowned tightly.

Suddenly, all the bumps disappeared, "What's going on?" Counting the time, it was only half of the distance, why did it stop at this moment?

"Here, ma'am, there is a team of people ahead of us, and we are facing each other. The mountain road is narrow, so..."

In the front, someone was communicating, but Ashina didn't think about it. After all, there was no reason for her to give up after a country.However, time passed continuously, but there was still no result.

"Lao Li, what's the matter?" Ashina heard a very immature voice, but her tone was unusually calm.Out of curiosity, I looked outside.Among them, a 10-year-old child was riding a horse to question an old housekeeper.Such a familiar face, why can't I remember it?

"This, young master, the villain has already revealed his identity to them, but they still have no intention of letting him go. This..."

"Presumptuous, dare to call—"

"Wang Meng, what's the matter?"

Ashina stopped the general negotiating at the right time, her identity was inconvenient to be revealed, and the man who fought in the military camp was quick to talk and almost ruined things.

"Huang, ma'am. The carriages and horses of the Li family—"

Li Yuan saw the woman in the tent, she was graceful and luxurious, very dignified, and immediately interrupted Wang Meng's words, and said: "Madam, I'm going to Li Yuan, I've offended you. Old Li, make way."

"Master? This?"

"Thank you." Ashina put down the curtain, Li Yuan, who was so familiar to her at the time, turned out to be Dugu Jialuo's nephew. He lost his father at the age of 7 and succeeded Tang Guogong in the same year.It is said that he is a descendant of the Xiliang royal family. Looking at it now, it is indeed not bad that he is neither humble nor overbearing at a young age.It's a pity that it's Yang Jian's side.

The Li family gave way, and the convoy continued to move forward.Only Lao Li asked with dissatisfaction: "Master, you are the hereditary Tang Guogong, why did you make way for this person?"

Li Yuan smiled inscrutably, "Old Li, you know Tang Guogong seems to be a glorious man, but you don't know that the woman in the tent just now is indeed the most honorable one in the world. She almost disturbed her."

Lao Li still didn't understand, but it didn't matter.Because for Ashina, it is just a passer-by in life, and it doesn't matter.

It was around dusk when the brigade finally arrived at Tianbao Temple.Tianbaosi is located at the foot of the mountain, so there is no need to go up the mountain.In the Duofo Temple of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, before Yu Wenyong exterminated the Buddha, pilgrims from all over the place came to offer offerings, cigarettes were lingering, and an endless stream of worshipers rushed here. They put their hands together, raised their chests, foreheads, and heads, and then fell flat on the ground.This happens every day, so that many places on the slate are sunken.In the state of Zhou, countless people become monks every year.I remember that in my last life, I was reprimanded by Yu Wenyong for agreeing to Daxing Buddhism, but Yang Xuewu made some suggestions and was adopted by Yu Wenyong again and again. I felt even more uneasy, and finally made the decision to kill her.She is a person who has lived one life, and she firmly believes in Buddhist ethics. Otherwise, how did she come to this life?

"Amitabha. I have seen the Empress."

A group of monks from Tianbao Temple, led by the old abbot, came to welcome the Queen of Zhou.It is a rare honor in a lifetime for the queen to choose their temple.

"Master Abbot doesn't need much more. I'm just an ordinary believer who comes to this temple to practice meditation." Ashina took a break and helped the old abbot who was more than seventy years old. He is an eminent monk who should be given the etiquette and face , still have to give.Personally, Ashina still admires his understanding and attitude.

"Thank you, Empress. The Zen Academy has ordered people to make preparations, and please come with me."

"Thank you, Master Abbot."

Wang Meng took the soldiers and left the deployment to ensure the queen's safety during the temple repairs.The two accompanying servants followed Ashina to the courtyard of the back temple under the leadership of the abbot.Because I received the news that the empress was going to live, all the other pilgrims were invited to another courtyard and vacated alone.

Tianbao Temple is also a rare Buddhist temple with a long history.Walking on the green pine brick road, Ashina admired the scenery of the ancient temple.The ancient temple is hidden by a few vigorous ginkgo trees. Entering the yard, a few linden trees are planted in the center of the yard. It is late autumn and it looks more tall and green.

The meditation room is not as good as the palace, it looks a little poor, but it is better than clean.And the scent of candles.Ashina was very satisfied with the abbot's arrangement and couldn't help nodding.

"Thank you Master Abbot for your trouble. I am very satisfied here."

"Amitabha, it's our temple's honor that the Empress likes it. The old monk will not disturb the rest of the empress." The old abbot took a few disciples wisely and left the courtyard.

Ashina sat on the relatively clean table and chairs, watching Aliya lead the people to clean up inside and out, while the guards surveyed the surrounding environment and guarded the yard dutifully.Ashina closed his eyes, vaguely, he seemed to be able to hear the Sanskrit sound of the monks chanting sutras, his heart was very clear.Can't help but smile wryly, she enveloped me, but her hands were sticky with human blood, which is really ironic.

Time passed quickly, and it was night.The night shrouded the ancient temple, making it even more secluded.Ashina was in his room, kneeling in front of the Buddha, knocking on the wooden fish and chanting scriptures.After reading for no less than 10 minutes, she opened her eyes, put down the things in her hands and got up.Putting his hand on Alia's wound, Ashina walked towards the back room in a leisurely manner.

"Say it."

"Yes."

Aliya told Ashina the results of Ada's investigation in an orderly manner.

"Mother, when Ah Da went to Jiangling, he found out that General Jin of the Western Wei Dynasty captured Jiangling (now Jingzhou, Hubei) and killed Liang Yuan Emperor Xiao Yi, and took more than [-] civilians from Jiangling to Chang'an, the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty. Concubine Li's family was among them. Why, when we arrived in Chang'an, the only survivor was Concubine Li."

The whole family was captured, but only one person reached Chang'an.There are only two possibilities, one family is dead, and the two are all dead. The current person is not a real person.Of course, the usual situation is that the first possibility is relatively high.

"So, is the line of Jiangling broken?" Ashina felt a little regretful, and her intuition told her that Li Ezi's identity was not that simple.

"The servant is incompetent." A Liya was also a little helpless, who couldn't understand why the empress was suspicious of Concubine Li's identity, but what the empress didn't think of was her incompetence.

"Well, leaving aside the matter of Li Ezi, how is the situation in Qi State?"

"The person next to Gao Wei has already convinced Gao Wei that he will attack the Qi Emperor Gao Zhan soon." Aliya said with a bit of shock, just like when she first got the news.People in the Central Plains are really terrible, father kills brother, son kills father.

"Gao Wei, I underestimated him. I thought he was cowardly and cowardly, but sometimes he was so ruthless that no one could compare to him." Ashina remembered that when he heard that Gao Zhan suddenly developed an old illness, Gao Zhan Wei's succession to the throne, now that I think about it, it may be Gao Wei's hand.

"Your Majesty, the slave also got news that the heavenly girl..." A Liya hesitated for a while, because Yang Xuewu's name was afraid that the empress would think of something sad.

"It's okay, just say it."

"It is said that Gao Wei seems to have sent someone to look for Yang Xuewu, and plans to make her a concubine after succeeding to the throne."

"Okay, hahaha." Ashina smiled happily.With Gao Wei's hatred for Gao Changgong, if Yang Xuewu really married him, she would not be afraid to suffer. "Tell He Shikai that if Gao Wei proposes to marry Yang Xuewu, he must support him. I am waiting to see Yang Xuewu get married again."

"Yes."

The author has something to say: first let Xiao Yuanzi come out and get acquainted. . .There are many obstacles on the road to marrying a wife in the future!
