Chapter 59 Chapter Fifty-Nine

In the cold winter season, it snows heavily. Li Ye and a group of attendants held a banquet in the palace, drinking wildly to get drunk.At this moment, perhaps alcohol is the best anesthetic, which can anesthetize the wiseness of the king.Being a fool has its own benefits, at least the fool doesn't have to live in toil and depression in this life. With a "wow", Li Ye stood up and overturned the delicacies before the case.Immediately, a feeling of nausea rushed into my heart, and I felt that the grievances and anger accumulated for more than ten years seemed to burst out for a while.He staggered down from the throne, and an attendant who was facing him wanted to help him: "Your Majesty, you are drunk..."

A cold light "swished" across the attendant's eyes, and a few drops of bright red blood hung on his forehead.Li Ye shook his body, still holding his saber in his hand, his tongue became numb: "I... am I drunk?" All the attendants didn't dare to say anything, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and could only watch Li Ye leave for the harem.The cowardice of these servants actually aroused Li Ye's resentment, and there was no way to release the resentment in his belly. "Your Majesty, you are back...why are you drunk again..." An uninterested palace maid stimulated Li Ye's nerves on the verge of collapse.Without saying a word, he raised his sword and pierced the maid's chest.This is a petite and beautiful little girl. Before she could shout out, her pale face froze with a look of astonishment, and the hair hanging from her temples was slightly rippling in the air.A light blue shawl slowly slipped off her shoulders, and the pink corset was immediately soaked with a thick blood color... Li Ye pulled out his sword suddenly.He couldn't remember how many court ladies died under his sword after drinking.At this moment, he just felt dizzy, and wished he could kill everyone in the world with a sword in his hand.

Hearing the sound, Fendai of the harem jumped out in shock. Seeing the distraught monarch and the sisters in a pool of blood, they couldn't help but panic and panic... Li Ye raised the sword in his hand, and cursed vaguely: "Little bitch!" He thought to himself: These maids are usually afraid of alienating him, and often compete for favor, but now when he is depressed, there is no one who can comfort him. Suddenly, a pale yellow shadow flashed in front of his eyes.A girl as beautiful as a flower, with black hair hanging down her shoulders, a little makeup, half-covered with yellow gauze, walked towards him gracefully.This court lady usually said few words, but every time she looked at him, her eyes were always full of love and tenderness.Li Ye searched in his mind for a long time, and gradually remembered the woman's name - Li Jianrong.When she entered the palace, she was just a teenager, but now she was born so slim.

"Your Majesty, your sword is dirty..." Li Jianrong walked up to Li Ye silently with lowered eyelids. Startled, Li Ye instinctively held the sword across his chest.But Li Jianrong showed no fear. She took out a handkerchief from her cuff, and naturally placed her other hand on the cold and sharp edge of the sword.Although Li Ye was drunk, he was suddenly sober at this moment.He was startled by the pure-looking, bold and calm girl in front of him, and the hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly. Li Jianrong handed over the handkerchief to his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to hold Li Ye's trembling hand.Li Ye only felt that the jade hand that was sent suddenly in the cold and lonely reassured him. He took a deep breath and looked down at Li Jianrong's other hand wiping the blood on the sword.

Suddenly, he felt desolate! ——The precious blade in his hand was the portable sword of the ancestor Taizong Emperor Li Shimin.In the past, this sword followed Emperor Taizong to dominate the country, but now, in his hands, this artifact symbolizing supreme power has been reduced to the point of assassinating court ladies to vent their resentment.Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't bear it anymore, the sword fell to the ground with a "clang", and he hugged a golden nanmu pillar and burst into tears... ...The passing of one night seems like a lifetime away; the prosperity is over, and the cycle of reincarnation begins.Li Ye got up from the dragon couch, and went to the window to push out the fresh air that was restricted by the window lattice.This drunken sleep made him seem to have traveled through hundreds of years of time and space.Li Ye stayed overnight in Qiqiao Building, which was a pavilion made of colorful brocade in the Xuanzong Dynasty.

The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked by hand. Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings. The lover's pavilion with a height of one hundred feet is not too much to use Li Bai's poem to describe it. Outside the window, it was already daytime, and a cold wind blew across Li Ye's cheeks abruptly.Suddenly, he saw a group of eunuchs including Liu Jishu, the envoy of the Tenth Army Watching the Army, and Cui Yin and other courtiers and officials forcing them from the front of the Sizheng Hall.Li Ye was very puzzled, the North and South Divisions were usually at odds with each other, but today they walked side by side.Just when he was wondering, Xuanhua Gate in the distance rushed into a group of forbidden troops, and this group of forbidden troops seemed to be crazy, killing and chopping anyone they saw.In an instant, Li Ye's face turned pale, and he clearly realized that there was a mutiny in the palace.

Before Li Ye could escape to the harem, the imperial army led by Liu Jishu had already approached him.Liu Jishu took out a piece of silk from his sleeve: "Your Majesty, I heard that your majesty indulged in drunkenness last night, and many people in the palace were slaughtered. Your majesty is in a bad mood recently. I beg your majesty to move to the East Palace. The country can appoint a prince to deal with it." A few words were hidden, clearly forcing himself to abdicate .Li Ye forced himself to calm down, he straightened his waist, his stalwart body allowed him to look down on this eunuch he hated.

"I was happy yesterday, and drank a few more glasses, why is the military appearance like this?" Liu Jishu squinted his eyes and looked at Li Ye: "Your Majesty, don't resent me, look at this joint letter, it is really the meaning of all the officials in the Southern Yamen..." Behind Liu Jishu, there is a dark army of forbidden troops.At this moment, what else can Li Ye do.He can't just die, otherwise the country will really be in danger of subjugation.Bearing the burden of humiliation may be the only way out.He shook his head helplessly, then took out the Chuanguo Seal and handed it to Liu Jishu.

A group of eunuchs threatened Li Ye and the queen to sit on a dragon horse and a phoenix chariot, and escort them to the Shaoyang courtyard of the East Palace.Liu Jishu counted dozens of crimes against Li Ye just like the scene where Qiu Shiliang pointed at Wenzong and scolded him.Immediately, the courtyard door was locked tightly, and the molten iron solidified the keyhole.The majestic emperor of a country was imprisoned in the deep palace like this. It was the second day of the New Year's Day, Li Ye was hungry and had just spent a miserable Spring Festival.He has not eaten a full meal for several days.Several court ladies coaxed the shivering little princess to sleep.He fell powerlessly on the edge of the bed, resting his head on Lian Che's leg.Faced with imprisonment, hunger, cold, and humiliation, Lian Che didn't seem to care.Although she cried secretly at the beginning, she always maintained a peaceful mind afterwards.She looked down at Li Ye in her arms. At this moment, Li Ye was no longer the unreachable emperor on the golden throne, but seemed to be that downcast little prince again.She gently smoothed Li Ye's long hair at the temples with her hands, she really wanted no one to disturb them forever.Just let time freeze, let her and him hug each other forever, let them go back to the backyard of He Zhai where they met each other, back to the Qingping world with high mountains and flowing water, pavilions and waterside pavilions, back to the world without fame and fortune Childhood without strife.Some, just his brilliant talent and chic manner, some, just his heart-pounding murmur.She thinks that she will always be the daughter He You loves, and she also thinks that he will always be the little royal prince who is down and out.Why were they all born in troubled times, and why didn't they enjoy the powerful and prosperous Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years?Why does he want to be the emperor, why does he want to be the queen, why can't they live a life of lovers who are indifferent to the world?In a pure world where there are only gurgling water and the sound of the flute accompanied by the sound of the zither, he reads poems and books and writes characters, while she quietly studies ink... What an ideal picture scroll, what a life she yearns for ...

Outside Shaoyang Courtyard, a hasty knock on the door interrupted Lian Che's deep thoughts, and even woke up Li Ye who was half asleep. With a bang, the courtyard door was knocked open, and a group of imperial guards rushed in with steel knives and spears in their hands. "They came to look for me..." Li Ye murmured.In life, it is inevitable to die.It's just that he died a little unwillingly.Anyway, one life, what a pity to die!It is a pity that once I die, my young and ignorant child will become a foolish king who is at the mercy of the eunuchs. I, Li Tang, lived more than two hundred and eighty years, and the country will soon be ruined by others... Li Ye's heart is like a knife, and the pain and sorrow have been overcome the immediate fear. "I am a descendant of Tian Khan! Emperor Taizong's blood flows through my body! Even if I die, I will never kneel down and beg for mercy; even if I die, I will straighten my chest and be a real emperor!" Thinking of this , He pulled out his saber from his waist, held the sword in front of his chest with his right hand, and clenched the dragon robe with his left hand, walked out of the inner room and went straight to the front yard.

For the first time in several days, he breathed the cold air, and his legs had become numb before lying on the bed for a long time.After a few steps, he was already panting heavily, and the stuffy air from his chest instantly solidified into a mist in front of his eyes.At this time, everything in front of him suddenly surprised him: he saw that Liu Jishu was tied up, and the leader of a group of forbidden troops was the prime minister Cui Yin, and standing beside Cui Yin was the capital of Yanzhou in dazzling armor. General Sun Dezhao.The rebellious minister has subdued the law!The idea of ​​surprise flashed across Li Ye's expressionless cold face.Hundreds of pairs of eyes of Shence soldiers were all staring at him. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Cui Yin walked forward in two or three steps, knelt down and bowed: "Cui Yin and Sun Dezhao are rebellious ministers to deliver orders to the Supreme Emperor." Immediately, hundreds of people inside and outside the courtyard bowed down kowtow. "The Supreme Emperor..." Li Ye sneered, and said to himself, "I have become the Supreme Emperor..." It turned out that Liu Jishu had already pretended to make the eight-year-old prince Li Yu the emperor, and respected him as the Supreme Emperor . Li Ye paced forward, turning his right wrist tightly holding the hilt of the sword, and the sword also rotated accordingly, and the sunlight reflected from different angles was aggressive.Hearing a "clang", Li Ye threw the sword in front of Sun Dezhao, and Yanzhou, who was kneeling on the ground unprepared, was startled. "Sun Aiqing, cut off the head of Liu Jishu, the eunuch and eunuch, to make the king right!" Her disheveled hair lay on Li Ye's forehead, and the dust on her face clearly showed the misery she had endured these days.However, this word and sentence clanged like a silver bottle being blasted, making everyone have to believe that the person in front of them is the real dragon emperor of Datang. A sense of justice rose in Sun Dezhao's chest.Although the emperor may not know at this time that it was Zhu Wen from the Central Plains who made Cui Yin make up his mind to eradicate the traitor, but recalling the experience of risking his life and conspiring with Prime Minister Cui Yin to capture the traitor and rescue the emperor these days, he couldn't help but feel emotional Thousands. "Minister, obey!" The three intermittent words solidified all the loyalty in his chest that could not be expressed in words. The sword fell from the hand, and the human head tumbled to the ground. The sprayed blood and the dust on the ground condensed into groups of large and small particles.Sun Dezhao wiped the few bloodstains on his forehead with his hands, but after wiping, one or two faint bloodstains stained his forehead.He got up generously, came to Li Ye, knelt on one leg, held the sword in both hands, and said word by word: "Minister, hand over the order!" Li Ye took the sword from Sun Dezhao, and shouted to the surroundings with a loud voice: "Zhen, I am still the emperor, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" , frozen in every corner of Shaoyang Courtyard.Although such a voice is powerless to bring back the sunset of the Tang Dynasty, at least this moment, this voice, witnessed the dignity of a true descendant of Li Tang's royal family, the irreplaceable dignity. Li Ye became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty again, and the crown prince Li Yu who had been supported for a short time was demoted to the king of De.After going through this catastrophe, Li Ye gritted his teeth and stood up, trying to regain his strength.In April 901 AD, Li Ye issued an edict to change Yuan Tianfu.Although he worked hard to stabilize people's hearts, restore the economy, pay attention to suffering, exempt corvee, and make changes, all these are powerless for the crumbling Datang Empire.Only half a year later, the intricate entanglements and disputes among the courtiers, eunuchs, and feudal towns made Li Ye a victim of the struggle again.Under the abduction of eunuchs, he was forced to flee Chang'an and go to Fengxiang.And Zhu Wen, who played a key role in the process of Li Ye's comeback this time, will naturally not let go of holding the emperor to make the princes think about it.A struggle for the emperor between Li Maozhen and Zhu Wen immediately kicked off. Some people say that Jiang Shui is an old man who witnessed history.During the pre-Qin period, the clear stream flowing from the Weiwei Weir slowly flowed into Chengdu along with several dug ditches—the new capital city built by Zhang Yi.And the city of the enlightened dynasty of ancient Shu quietly sleeps underground forever, waiting for people to dig out its once incomparably brilliant and glorious civilization thousands of years later.In the late Tang Dynasty, Gao Pian, who once supported himself and was angrily denounced as a traitor by Emperor Xizong, left an indelible mark in the history of local chronicles in Chengdu. In the first year of Qianfu Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty (874 A.D.), Gao Pian came to Chengdu to serve as the envoy of Xichuan in order to resist the Nanzhao who invaded Shu.After defeating Nanzhao, Gao Pian expanded the city wall and built Luocheng.The Pijiang River and the Jinjiang River were diverted, creating a pattern of two rivers surrounding the city that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.In the following thousands of years, the city experienced a change of dynasties, and the emperors and generals came and went; experienced a period of economic prosperity and cultural prosperity, and merchants came and left; He has written countless poems handed down from generation to generation; he has also experienced more than one massacre and bloodbath, leaving behind an empty city full of bones.The only constant is the gurgling water of the Jinjiang River, which has witnessed the glory and misery of this city for thousands of years, and it silently tells people the stories that have happened here. Wei Zhuang sat down leaning on a weeping willow, looking at the Jinjiang River flowing in front of him, he couldn't help thinking of this poem by Liu Yuxi. "I only know that since Wenweng started his school, there have been a few more Changqings and Ziyuns in Sichuan. Only when I came to this riverside did I realize that it is the water here that nurtures poets. No matter where you are born, you can live by the Jinjiang River, This life is enough!" "That's right, Xue Hongdu was on the bank of the Jinjiang River, and he wrote the Jinjiang Collection with Huanhua paper." In a soft sentence, there was a leisurely smile.After finishing speaking, Ru Yin and Wei Zhuang sat down side by side.The breeze passed by, bringing willow leaves swaying in front of my eyes.On the banks of the Jinjiang River, there have been so many stories of talented men and beauties. When he closed his eyes, he recalled Wenjun Xiangru in the Qintai Winery, and Wei Zhuang smiled with satisfaction from his heart. "I suddenly thought of Du Fu. My favorite poems were composed by him living by the Jinjiang River." After finishing speaking, Wei Zhuang couldn't help but chant slowly: When he reached the last line of the poem, he couldn't help slowing down his voice, and there was a slight tremor in his voice, as if he was recalling his life in Luoyang and the city of Chang'an.Since Wang Xianzhi's rebellion, more than ten years of ups and downs, this talented man who once worried about the country and the people can deeply understand the melancholy thoughts of living in Chengdu during the first year of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Ruyin couldn't help laughing and said: "Why are you so sad? Does the beautiful scenery have to be accompanied by a rich history? Wouldn't it make people a little breathless?" As she spoke, she sang "Happy Rain on a Spring Night" ": "Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently..." Wei Zhuang smiled, happiness and satisfaction filled his whole body.He took Ru Yin's hand, and then said: "Du Gongbu is really lucky, he can build a new thatched cottage next to Yang Xiong's Caoxuantang. If I can find Du Fu's thatched cottage, I would be willing to die of old age in Chengdu..." Said, with Ruyin's support, He stood up slowly and walked leisurely along the river. Ru Yin asked playfully: "Can't we go find the thatched hut that was broken by the autumn wind?" Wei Zhuang shook his head: "The only way is that Yang Xiong's former residence is in the southwest of Shaocheng, so Du Fu's thatched cottage should probably be in the Huanhuaxi area. It's just that the flowing water twists and turns, where can I find it?" Ruyin chuckled: "There is a thatched cottage on the west of Wanli Bridge, and the water in Baihuatan is the blue waves. The wind is green and beautiful, and the rain is red and fragrant..." Before the song "Mad Man" is finished, in Wei Zhuang's eyes The light of hope has burst out: "'Wanliqiao Nanzhai, Baihuatan Beizhuang. The buildings on the floors are all facing the water, and the old trees are full of frost. The sky is white in the Xueling world, and the city of Jincheng is yellow in the sun. It is a pity that it is a scenic spot. Looking back, it is a vast .' Wanli Bridge West House, Baihuatan Beizhuang! How could I have forgotten! Let’s look along the Wanli Bridge along the water, and we will definitely find it!” Ruyin said nothing, just pursed her lips and smiled. Sometimes there are obvious secrets hidden in familiar lines.Perhaps, there are many people who read poetry, but few people really want to find the old site again.
