What about Mr. Faint?

The Taifu no longer entered the palace, and the palace returned to its former appearance, even more desolate.

The father-in-law has become surreptitious and no longer stays in front of me all the time.He was the same loner as before, coming and going in a hurry.A Gu's illness did not improve, and even became more serious, and sometimes he became unconscious.As for the imperial physicians, they were just a group of idiots who could only follow the scriptures, and they didn't even dare to look at A Gu.

The days seem to be back to the daily routine in the small courtyard, there are still only Ah Gu and Zhen, leaning together and looking at the sky, quietly waiting for the time to slip through the fingers, watching the sun rise and set, it is a new day .

If one insists on saying that something has changed, it is that the range of activities is wider than before.From a small courtyard of [-] steps, it has become a palace that can only be walked down in half a day.Occasionally, the maids could be heard whispering about the situation outside the palace, whether it was the northern bandits going south, the southern riots, the civil uprisings, or the eastern water bandits rampant.

Ah Gu's disease became more serious, just like this dying world.

In this world, I don't want to save him, but Ah Gu, I can't give up.

If the current situation is not my fault at all, it must be an excuse.But if it is all my fault, it is also the opinion of the whole family.As early as when the first emperor was still alive, he had already seen a glimpse or two, but at that time he pointed out the source of the cholera, it was the dead prime minister himself, and the clan standing behind him.

The scenery has gone for 500 years, and it has endured the wind and rain of these 500 years one by one. Whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, there is always power to protect this country.Ten years of fighting has made the Zhenbei Army stronger, and the other three armies also intend to compete with it. The problem is not the country's armed forces, but the government.

In the early years, the imperial examination system was respected by the four countries, but later, as the children of the upper-ranking poor families gradually passed away, and as those so-called poor families gradually became aristocratic families over time, this system that hurt the fundamentals showed his Various disadvantages.Whether it is cheating or taking exams, various means emerge in endlessly.

As a result, the imperial examinations had been abolished many years ago, and the election system was still the one that came back to power.

It's like a circle, going round and round and returning to this point, and came to the origin.

When he was young and still a crown prince, he once saw the prime minister kneeling in the hall, explaining the shortcomings of the matter to the late emperor in tears.The election system seemed to him to be the beginning of all corruption and collapse. He knelt there and said to the first emperor, if those rotten foundations were not eradicated, then this dynasty would collapse a hundred years later.

At that time, the people will have no country to rely on, soldiers will have no country to fight for, and what will collapse will be the peace established by Tai Ozu 500 years ago.

The first emperor was just silent, and said after a long time that it was not the time yet.

What... is it time?

I have been thinking about this issue recently, or in the past, A Gu and I have been arguing about this issue.Until that night when the bell rang throughout the palace, A Gu and Zhen were unable to argue for a high ground.

So the first emperor died, because he didn't want to bear the responsibility of the king who destroyed the country, because he didn't want to be the fatuous king who was left in the history books and was scolded by future generations. Such as the current six kingdoms subjugated and the emperor of Tai Ozu.

"A Gu, when will I wake up?" The A Gu on the bed is getting thinner and thinner day by day, compared to his round appearance when I first saw him, now A Gu looks like a refugee who has been hungry for several years and has not been able to eat well.He is no longer comfortable to hold, but cold and painful, like a dead person.

But in this way, he is still my bone.

"After waking up, let's go out together and have a look at the ink scroll you drew."

The sun was shining outside the window, and the bird, which had escaped the pursuit of the guards outside the palace, stopped by the window, looking at the darkness in the room with its innocent eyes.Seemingly feeling bored, he blew twice, spread his wings, and flew towards the withered old tree in the yard, and finally even the croaking disappeared.

Perhaps it was because he was the only living creature in this lonely palace.

Leaning against the head of the bed, playing with the jade pendant inlaid with gold in his hand, the golden traces on the white marble have faded a bit, revealing the distinct traces left by repeated gold painting.The two dragons spreading their wings to the sky above are intertwined with each other, and there is an invisible character that has been worn down underneath.

Although it has been polished too much, all emperors know that word, it is 'Xiao', the dawn of dawn, and the dawn of Jing.

The general is very strange. He obviously has the ability to be superior, but he has been stagnant.When the first emperor was alive, the relationship with the Zhenbei Army was not very good. He cut off his salary many times without mentioning it. Just after the former Zhenbei General died in battle, he suppressed the general's inauguration edict and refused to issue it, which can anger a large number of veterans. .

Speaking of it, it seems that long before the three generations of emperors, they have gradually suppressed the dominance of the Zhenbei army.The time of the ten-year campaign was gradually postponed, and the scope of the campaign became smaller and smaller. Even though there was a generation who talked about the imperial conquest, it was just a show.

Its loss is not as great as that of a defensive battle in northern Xinjiang.

Until I have delegated the right to raise food to the Zhenbei Army, although from now on all food, grass, salaries and silver will be handed over to the Zhenbei Army for self-raising, which not only restrains the Zhenbei Army's power, but also invisibly relaxes their independence.Even so, since the seven-year-old general set off to fight, there is no sign of a comeback.

Can not help but be disappointed.

"When the general is in charge, you and I will go out of the palace and swim hand in hand, and you will be fine." He lowered his head and kissed Ah Gu's forehead, his body temperature was colder than the temperature when I snuggled up with him in the small hut to keep warm in winter. A few points lower.

If in the past, A Guding would respond to me, or be angry, or laugh and scold, he would always respond to all my actions, always like this.He is my half body, my friend, and the proof that I am alive, so he has always been special, different, and alive to me, but not so lifeless.

It’s just that if Ah Gu can’t survive this illness, then he really can’t survive it.

The Tai Tuo no longer enters the palace, and there are new things haunting him, whether it is the Huns in the north going south, or the rebellion in the south that failed to suppress, or the water bandits in the east are rampant, the only stable west has always been a desolate self-government, It is far from a place where the power of the imperial court can't match.

Such a world is enough for him to have a headache.

"You have made up your mind?" Ah Gu opened his eyes at some point, and looked at me with dark eyes, full of tolerance, "You should have become a better person, my majesty."

"What's the use of being a better person?" Looking back at A Gu, it was the first time after many years that he showed his softness in front of me.It's no longer that tit-for-tat look, nor is it rude and unreasonable to me, but rational, gentle, calm, like a big brother.

He and I are like brothers who truly support each other and walk in the world together.

"You once wanted to be an emperor like His Majesty Xiao, didn't you?" A Gu supported his thin arms and leaned against Zhen's body, "As dazzling as Emperor Xiao, gentle, decisive, and firm, The emperor who will not back down." He leaned on my body and said.

Is it true that at the end of human life, some earth-shattering words will be uttered.The queen mother is like this, the prime minister is like this, and so is the eighth prince.Everyone is like this. At the end of their lives, they speak to me words that do not conform to their status, and speak language that does not conform to their status.

"Now, have you forgotten?"

"Ah, I already forgot!"

Ah Gu closed his eyes and chuckled, he seemed to have got the answer he wanted, so other things were not important anymore.It is precisely because other things are not important anymore, so I don't care about right and wrong, who wins and who loses, the outcome of this game of chess is not important anymore.

"Don't worry about it anymore," Ah Gu lightly smiled and raised his hand to caress my cheek, "This disease will pass soon, and then, let's go see the mangosteen flowers outside the city together."

"it is good."

What is Agu like?If I were to say it, it would be someone as gentle and indifferent as this country, someone who attracts people to understand, taste, and monopolize like this country.

"When the flowers bloom outside the city, I'll take you to see them together." Just like you did before.

Dizang again, in the future, if there are virtuous men and virtuous women who plant virtuous roots in the Dharma, they may make donations, make offerings, repair pagodas and temples, or decorate classics, or even a dust of hair or a tree of sand.If such a good deed can be returned to the Dharma Realm, it is a person's merit and virtue, and in hundreds of thousands of lives, he will receive wonderful happiness.If you only dedicate to your own family members, or your own interests, the result of this is that you will enjoy happiness for three lives, and you will get ten thousand rewards if you give up one.This is why Ksitigarbha, giving karma, is like this.

"I'll take you to see it when Jiangshan regains its vitality." It's like what it said in the scroll.

Again, Ksitigarbha, if in the future, kings, brahmins, etc., encounter stupas, temples, or sutras and images, and they are damaged and damaged, they will be able to repair them with determination.It is the king, etc., who either run it on their own, or persuade others, or even hundreds of thousands of people, etc. to make alms.It is a king, etc., who will always be a wheel-turning king in hundreds of thousands of lives.Such a person who gives with others will always be a small king in hundreds of thousands of lives.Even more, in front of the pagoda and temple, send back the heart, such a king, and all people, will fully achieve the Buddha way.The retribution of this is boundless and boundless

"it is good."

If people want to know, all the Buddhas of the three times.We should observe the nature of the Dharma Realm, everything is created by the mind.

The Buddhist scriptures echoed in my ears, over and over again, chanting in an unintelligible language, and telling the truth I already knew.

The Buddhist scriptures echoed in my ears, over and over again, coming from the other side and passed on to this world.
