Daiyu reads novels every day

The New Year of the Seventh Year of Taihe has just passed, and the palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons. Red lanterns and red blessing characters can be seen everywhere. If the palace gates are not locked and people are not allowed to enter or leave, this place is no different from any previous New Year.The winter has not yet passed, the cold wind blows the snow foam on the ground and hits Yong Chen's face, making his complexion even more ugly.

Fang Ao and Liu Wuhua control the inside and outside, claiming that Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan was poisoned for nine days, and passed away eleven days ago; now he only parks the coffin in Yuqing Palace, and keeps the funeral secret, and only calls it a disease to the public up.Zhang Laoshi, the admiral of the Nine Gates, also came to see Yongchen. He said that Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan had summoned him years ago.

Now the eunuch Su Danmo, the chief eunuch next to Emperor Yongzhan of the original Jingyuan, is by Yongchen's side. His face is wrinkled like dried orange peel. , I want the old slave to give His Highness a word. The late emperor knew that his fate was not long, but without Cheng Ye and his troubles, his fate would only be in the past two years. Please don't make a big fuss about this matter and implicate everyone... ..." He murmured, as if talking to himself, "The late emperor has already figured it out, he can see everything clearly..."

Yongchen walked to the entrance of the hall where the coffin of Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan was said to be parked, saw the coffin inside from a distance, and said with a sneer, "The emperor's 'Golden Cicada Escape' is really good at using it."

Su Danmo was taken aback, looked at Yong Chen and said, "Your Highness..."

Yong Chen sneered and said: "The emperor has had the heart of retiring for a long time. Now that he is tired of being an emperor, he pretends to die and leaves. It is a good plan to give this king the most difficult position in the world." He said again. : "Fortunately, I really thought that something big happened in the capital, so I came here day and night. The emperor deceived me so much." Saying that, he didn't go into the hall to look at the coffin, and left without going.

Su Danmo was left with a shocked face.

Yong Chen also sent Fang Ao, Zhang Laoshi, Qin Baiyu and others to come, and said angrily: "Although the emperor is fine, but Cheng Ye and others colluded with the Duke's children, bribed the House of Internal Affairs, and instructed the palace people to poison and assassinate the emperor. It is unmistakable. At the beginning when Yongdan and Yongyi broke things, the emperor's heart was kind, and he spared their children's lives. Instead, he raised tigers for trouble. Now you haven't punished these people severely. You are waiting for the king to raise the knife Can you take your dog's life?!"

Fang Ao said: "His Royal Highness, the late emperor had a last word before he died, that no big fights should be made, no one should be implicated, and only the leaders should be dealt with quietly..."

Yong Chen gritted his teeth and grinned, pointed at him and said, "What a last word of the late emperor, is there an imperial decree?"

"This, the first emperor was unable to write before his death, so naturally there is no imperial decree..."

"That's a hypocritical edict! If you dare to speak nonsense again, this king will punish you together with the chaos and the party!" Yongchen made a decisive decision, and immediately ordered Zhang Laoshi and Qin Baiyu. The first beheaded, the remaining men were exiled, and the women were deprived of their titles as slaves.

No one dares to disobey Yong Chen, Cheng Ye and others have long been locked up, and now they are all given poisoned wine, and they are no longer healthy; the family involved in the case was immediately copied, and for a while, the streets of Kyoto were full of sold maids from the original mansion, wailing All over the country, people are panicking.Jia's and Xue's houses were also among them, and the mansion was destroyed in an instant. Xue Pan and Baoyu were immediately convicted and executed. Only Baochai, Tanchun and other married daughters escaped.

People outside the palace were panicked, and inside the palace it was even more depressing and terrifying.

On this day, Yongchen went to Shangyang Palace to greet the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Shugui.The Supreme Emperor knew that Emperor Jingyuan Yongzhan was gone, although he didn't know the details, after all, father and son are connected, how can they not care about it?Worried about the pain, she also fell ill, and only Concubine Shugui saw Yongchen.

Yong Chen persuaded her not to worry, and would find the whereabouts of Emperor Jing Yuan Yong Zhan soon.

Concubine Shugui and Aunt Zhao at the side looked at each other in blank dismay, and didn't dare to speak too much, she just persuaded: "Your Highness wants to be more open."

"Is there anything I can't think about? I just stay here temporarily until the emperor comes back." Yong Chen thought it all over, said goodbye to Concubine Shugui for a while, and ran into Yong Ye when he went out of the palace gate.

Yong Ye is now thirteen, the age at which love begins.

As soon as Yong Chen came out, he bumped into Yong Ye teasing the maid, teasing and playing in the corridor.

Yongchen was furious, and immediately asked someone to drag the maid out and beat him to death, and ordered Yongye to kneel in the snow nest, and reprimanded him: "Now that the emperor is missing, everyone is in a state of panic, but you are still in the mood to have fun! This king is like When you were this age, you already served in the Northwest Army, and you were kept in the deep palace all day long, and others don’t know how to do it, but you have learned some delicate mischief!” He asked him to kneel and reflect.

Yong Ye was afraid, afraid and heartbroken of losing the maid, and cried so much that his face was full of tears.

Concubine Shugui got the news, and when she saw her youngest son kneeling in the snow nest crying, she immediately jumped up and hugged Yongye, crying to Yongchen: "The late emperor is gone, Your Highness is in a bad mood, just punish those who committed crimes." Why do you come here to spoil my son? What does he know at such a young age? Your Highness has long since divorced me, and I am only such a good boy. If he makes a mistake, wouldn’t it be that he cuts out my heart..." As he spoke, tears fell down like beads, and he knelt in the snow nest like Yong Ye.

Yong Ye cried more and more, and hurriedly asked his mother and concubine to stand up, sobbing: "It's my fault, so my brother punished me. Mother and concubine, you kneel down too, but tell your brother how to deal with it?"

"You remember that His Highness is your elder brother, I'm afraid His Highness has long forgotten our mother and son..." Dowager Shugui cried and complained, and almost fell down in the snow.

There was a lot of trouble for a while.

Yong Chen just felt bored, knelt down and helped Concubine Shugui get up, forced a smile to comfort her, left in a hurry, looked up at the sky, only to see the gray cumulus clouds oppressing one's breath.

Some people want to hit the knife edge.

Liu Wuhua came to urge Yongan again, saying: "Your Highness will call a group of ministers as soon as possible, and the ministers will read out the last emperor's edict, and pass it on to Your Highness."

"Last time this hall said that Fang Ao was a hypocritical edict, now you really created one." Yong Chen sneered.

Liu Wuhua ignored it, and only said: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. It has been thirteen days since the death of the late emperor. Your Highness should accept the reality as soon as possible and stabilize the court situation. The late emperor can also rest in peace."

Yongchen casually drew the sword of the guards at the side, raised the hilt with his thumb, and placed the exposed blade across Liu Wuhua's neck, angrily said: "You'd better remember, there is still an old score between this hall and you. Qing. If this palace becomes the emperor, you will be the first to be slaughtered!"

Liu Wuhua was unmoved, without even blinking his eyelashes, he just said: "Then please ascend the throne as the emperor first, Your Highness." He also said: "I originally wanted to follow the late emperor. Now I am just sending this life to the world temporarily. That's all."

Yong Chen stared at him for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Does Master Zhang have any disciples?"

Liu Wuhua was taken aback.

"The demon way has always been able to confuse people's hearts, and I'm afraid it has attracted many disciples. You go and find some of his disciples who have some real skills." Yong Chen threw the sword back into the guard's arms, and said lightly: "Then There are still some supernatural powers in the way of demons." Now that I think about it, that Zhang Tianshi foresaw Li Man'er's death—the red, round and small thing that killed Yongchen's close female relatives was sent by Liu Wuhua that day A plate of cherries?

Liu Wuhua looked at Yong Chen, and said: "Even if there is a bit of supernatural power, there is no such thing as resurrection in the world." Seeing that Yong Chen has made up his mind, he can only sigh.

Those Taoist priests were locked up by the soldiers and taken into the palace. When they wanted to see King Yong, who had killed their master before, they were all terrified and trembling, and they died soon.

Unexpectedly, when we met, King Yong was very kind.

When Yong Chen saw all the Taoists, he first asked if there was anyone who would look for someone, and everyone shook their heads when they saw it;Yong Chen's complexion gradually became ugly, and he said angrily: "I can't do this and I can't do that. It turns out that they are a group of bluffing bastards! Why don't these bastards be killed and kept?"

All the Taoists trembled tremblingly, and one of them, who knew how to observe words, boldly said: "Although Taoism is not good, there are Buddhist schools. As long as you offer sea lanterns in front of the Buddha statues in that temple, which will last day and night, you will be able to serve the people. The living exorcise evil spirits and pray for blessings, and lead the dead home.”

Yong Chen clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay!" Immediately ordered people to go to the Buddha and offer the largest ever-burning lamp, which stores a large amount of oil and burns a flame that will last for a long time.He himself even went to various Buddhist temples in Kyoto to pray with all his heart. Seeing that the sea lantern seemed to be dim, but there was a flame inside, he caught it for a moment, and silently wished: All the gods and Buddhas in the sky, as long as you are willing to let the emperor come back , whatever I have forever, but you can take it.

The host read from the side: "The nature exists in the body and mind, and the body and mind are destroyed when the nature is removed. The Buddha works in the nature, and don't seek outside the body."

Yong Chen remained silent, knelt down on the futon, and sincerely bowed three times, then went back to the palace with a lot of worries.

When she arrived at the palace, Daiyu had already rushed to the capital with her two children.

Seeing Yongchen, he also felt distressed, put his arms around Daiyu and said: "It's my fault, I've suffered for you."

Daiyu pursed her lips and was about to speak, but Yongchen said again: "When the emperor comes back, let's go back to the Gusu garden and live in harmony behind closed doors."

Daiyu was stunned.

Yongchen said again: "You have come all the way, you have worked so hard, so take a good rest for a few days."

Daiyu held him back, stared at him, and said softly: "I haven't seen you in ten months, Your Highness has lost weight." Then she said: "How about having a light meal with me, Your Highness?"

When the dinner table was set, Yong Chen sat down with Daiyu, raised his chopsticks and swept around the food, but put it down again.

"Why don't you use it, Your Highness?"

Yong Chen forced a smile and said: "I had some snacks outside the palace before coming here, so I'm not hungry right now. I'll watch you eat."

Daiyu worried, "Lianxi told me that you haven't had a good meal for several days."

Yong Chen was silent, and said softly: "I also know something is wrong. It's just that my stomach is always full." He looked at Dai Yu, "I'm not hungry at all, really."

Daiyu didn't know how to persuade him for a while, she was afraid that if she persuaded him too deeply, it might irritate him, so she just counted the rice grains in the bowl, not knowing how to taste it.

After a while, Yong Chen said softly: "If I hadn't killed Zhang Tianshi back then, it would have been fine. Linqiong Taoist Hong Duke can use his sincerity to win the soul."

Daiyu looked up at him.

Yong Chen also looked at her, showing a bleak smile, "If Zhang Tianshi is still alive, maybe he has this ability."

"It's not your fault." Daiyu said softly, stroking Yongchen's thin cheek.

"It's my fault." Yong Chen said softly: "I was so wrong. The only thing he said was that he became the emperor, so he didn't treat me as a brother anymore... Only now do I realize that I was the one who was wrong from the beginning to the end." He suppressed his emotions very deeply, held Daiyu's hand instead, saw her worried eyes, and comforted her: "Don't worry, the child is still young, and you are by my side again. I will be fine."

What he said made Daiyu even more uneasy.

It was night, and Yong Chen was dreaming again.During these days, every night he dreamed that he came to Yuqing Palace alone.

Go outside the hall where the emperor's coffin is parked.

He looked at the lantern hanging on the eaves of the hall, the candlelight glowed a blurred red light from the lamp body made of sprinkled golden rice paper, only the hollowed-out "Ping An" word was so familiar.

The lanterns he made with his own hands more than ten years ago, and the "Peace" written by the emperor himself more than ten years ago.

Today's dream is a little different.

He entered the hall for the first time and sat beside the coffin.

The person lying in the coffin was his father when he was young, his mother when he was young, his master, his elder brother, and his best friend; later, the person lying in the coffin became the emperor, his monarch, and his enemy. It was a scar that would bleed when he touched it.

Now everything has been overthrown, the person lying in the coffin is no longer his monarch, no longer his enemy, but he is still his elder brother like father and mother, a role model for him on the way to grow up, and a model in his soul. The one who inscribes indelible words on his face.

And this person died.

The moment Yongchen realized this, he thought that the dream would wake up, but when he turned around, he saw Daiyu rushing in with Baisui in his arms.

"Your Highness!"

The woman's terrified cry pierced the dream.

Yong Chen blinked and realized that this was not a dream at all.

Daiyu put Baisui on the ground, hugged Yongan, and said anxiously: "Your Highness is in trouble... Lianxi said that you come here alone every night..."

Yong Chen rubbed his throat, his face flushed, and he roared: "I can't breathe, I can't breathe!"

Daiyu was startled and hurriedly stroked his chest.

Yong Chen only felt that he couldn't breathe, the air in his lungs gradually disappeared, and he only shouted: "I can't breathe...I can't breathe..." He struggled, like a drowning person dying, his mind gradually blurred, Vaguely saw Bai Sui standing blankly at the threshold.

Bai Sui didn't seem to understand what was happening in front of him, and said blankly: "Wuyou." He was learning to pronounce his sister's name.

The crisp children's voice resounded in the empty mourning hall.

Yong Chen saw the word "Ping An" on the lantern in the porch, took a long breath, and then recovered, his hands and feet were limp, almost paralyzed in Dai Yu's arms, crying out.

On the spring night of the seventh year of Taihe, Yongchen finally accepted this reality.

Emperor Jing Yuan collapsed.
