Chongzhen Sunset Song

?one

Years later, in the wilderness, by the tomb.

When I woke up, it was already dawn.Sunset looked at the sky, rubbed the stubble on his chin again, staggered to his feet, and picked up the empty wine jar and the long-extinguished lantern from the tombstone.

"Your Majesty, Dexiu has gone back."

After finishing speaking, he put the lantern in his waist and walked straight to a small lonely courtyard not far away.

The news of Chongzhen Bintian reached Xizhao's ears several days later.Regarding the fate of the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the rumors in the capital were once very chaotic.It is said that the emperor died under the sword of Li Zicheng, and some said that the rebellious eunuch killed the emperor, but the most true version is that Chongzhen sent the prince away, killed the princess, and ordered the Queen of Zhou to marry him. After Queen Yi'an committed suicide, she ended up at the foot of Meishan Mountain behind the Forbidden City.In the end, the only one who accompanied him was Wang Chengen.

However, Bi Tao carefully avoided the details, and never mentioned them to Xizhao, for fear that he would become narrow minded and do something stupid after learning about them.And Xizhao never asked, just kept silent, kept silent, living with the heart-wrenching torment in his chest day by day.The emperor's intention is obvious - leaving Bi Tao with him is to leave a reason for living to himself who once kept saying that he was looking for death and life.Dexiu understands, Dexiu understands.Dexiu will not leave Bitao, and will not let down the emperor's wishes. Dexiu will follow the emperor's wish to see the world for the emperor, how can the country be peaceful and the people safe, He Qinghaiyan, and spend the rest of his life to live a good life The last time I tasted wine and enjoyed autumn, the days of idle clouds and wild cranes.Dexiu knows that time will make her gradually forget the past and heal the pain...

It's just that now, when time has not yet passed, it's easier to be dead...

"You're back."

Pushing open the gate of the small courtyard and stepping into the main room, I saw Bi Tao coming forward in her clothes.

"Woke you up?" Xizhao put the wine jar on the table, took off the cloak, and handed it to Bitao.

"I woke up for a while. You're not here, so I can't sleep well at night." Bi Tao folded the cloak and put it on the suitcase, poured a cup of hot tea for Xi Zhao, and brought it to him, "The next door is in Liu Niang's mansion." There are wine shops, why do you go to the city to buy wine every time." Bitao looked at the wine jar next to her and said.

"Liu Niang's Mansion doesn't have this kind of wine to get drunk today." Xi Zhao replied simply.Bi Tao didn't ask any more questions, but also sat aside and continued her needlework.

The sky was brighter again, and on the freshly pasted window paper, a ray of pale gold in the morning was faintly reflected.

"The peach blossoms in Xishan are blooming, and the leaves of ginkgo and maple trees are also sprouting. How about we go for an outing in the mountains someday?" Bitao asked leisurely, twisting the silk thread with her fingers, half-opening her cherry lips.

"Okay." Xi Zhao looked at the window and answered in his mouth, but his thoughts drifted away with the wisp of pale gold, flickering, leisurely...

... If there is an afterlife, I hope that I can live a peaceful life in such a picturesque and beautiful scenery, without having to pay attention to state affairs disputes, and not being bound by the ancestral foundation, getting married and having children, men farming and women weaving, thinking about it, then it will definitely be It's a life like a fairy...

On the bank of the West Mountain, there is a tomb of clothes and crowns, and a stele without words.I don't know if the emperor likes this kind of residence, or if he has finally left the red wall, he will never be trapped in one place again, and he just wants to be free and free.No matter what, Dexiu will always stay here.The sunset in Xishan in autumn is still as beautiful as before. Please come back to see it when that time comes.
