Chapter 298 The world is worth it
When the car drove, the emperor seemed to be in a good mood. He had been reviewing the memorials for more than an hour and only took a sip of water. Finally, he finished the memorials sent today. After stretching his body, he asked the eunuch where he had gone. Dai Fangzhou outside the car replied that he was still one day away from Chang'an.
The emperor ordered him to call Dan Tai Yuan Shu, then leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
Not long after, Dan Tai Yuan Shu got into the car. When the emperor opened his eyes, he rolled his eyes and saw blood on his eyes. It would be better if he didn't sleep, but his lack of sleep would make him feel even more tired.
"I suddenly remembered something and asked you to discuss it."
The emperor sat upright: "In less than a month, it will be the day when Emperor Chu surrendered. Over the years, the previous emperors of all dynasties have actually had a low evaluation of Emperor Chu. During the Taizu, Emperor Chu died of illness, and Emperor Taizu also wrote an eulogy in person... During the Taizu, people were sent to write the Chu Kingdom's story. Although they were useless to criticize and demote Chu politics, they were still quite polite to Emperor Chu."
Dan Tai Yuan Shu suddenly understood what the emperor meant, and he didn't want to lose face.
"But Your Majesty, now is different from the past. Chu was destroyed during the reign of Emperor Taizong. It is necessary to win over the influential scholars and gentry of the Chu in the past. Chu has been destroyed for hundreds of years. If you mention it at this time, I am worried that some unofficial people who are already thinking about the Chu in the past will take the opportunity to look up."
"I know, I don't need to care."
The emperor said, "That's it, I was hunting in the Huali paddock and met a beautiful tiger. I chased him, but the tiger brought the Emperor's sword and Emperor's fortune to offer. I let the tiger go back to the mountain and get the Emperor's fortune... This is also considered God's will, so I decided to build a Chu temple in Shien City to place the Chu emperor tablets in all dynasties."
Dan Tai Yuan Shu thought about the words "The Emperor's Fortune" and "The Emperor's Fortune" and "The Tiger Returns to the Mountain".
"Get rid of the tiger and return to the mountain."
“Okay.”
The emperor said: "If you feel that it is okay, I will let the decree go to pass the imperial edict. The cabinet will issue the imperial edict to the whole world, and the Ministry of Revenue will directly approve the cabinet."
"I follow the holy will."
The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows: "I feel a surge of soreness in the back of my head. I'm afraid I'm missing too much sleep. You go and tell the people in the cabinet that I don't hear anything in the afternoon and let them deal with it as appropriate. I'll sleep for half a day."
Dan Tai Academy clasped its fists: "I obey the order, I retreat."
He got out of the carriage and asked Dai Fangzhou to go to the carriage where the cabinet ministers were located to pass the order. Then he looked at the guards around the carriage: "The distance between vehicles in front and behind is ten meters away. No one is allowed to approach the carriage and take my spear."
Not long after, the big spear was lifted over. Dan Tai Yuan Shu grabbed the big spear with his right hand and stood straight on the emperor's carriage like a door god.
One stop is one afternoon.
A day and a half later, the emperor's carriage returned from the Huali paddock and entered Chang'an City. The streets were crowded with people. Even if they just looked at the emperor's team, the people would be excited for a long time.
Strangely, the emperor did not go back to Weiyang Palace directly, but went straight to Yanta Academy. It was rumored that a few days ago, an assassin sneaked into the academy and tried to be unfavorable to the old dean. The academy disciples killed more than a hundred assassins, but the emperor did not return to the palace but looked at the old dean directly, and his attitude was clear enough.
The car stopped outside the academy. After the emperor got off the car, he looked very mentally recovered. The old dean brought hundreds of people from the academy to greet him. After seeing the emperor, everyone except the old dean knelt down.
The old dean doesn’t kneel down, this is something the emperor has said many times.
"Why are you getting fat?"
The emperor was slightly stunned when he saw the old dean: "How many days have passed? The gentleman's chin is almost folded."
The old dean laughed: "Your Majesty is not in Chang'an City, I can steal it.
If you are lazy for a few days, how can you not be fat? The key is that that kid Chen Leng has a really good cooking skills."
The emperor touched his thin chin: "Let him come to cook at noon."
The old dean laughed: "What should I do if Your Majesty is greedy?"
The emperor thought for a while: "Then I will call him as the imperial chef."
The old dean: "From the rank of the fourth-rank general, the imperial chef?"
Emperor: "If it tastes delicious, then it's his general."
Chen Leng, who was standing in the welcoming team, heard something whizzing by in his heart, thinking that he might as well waste his cooking skills in the future. This thing turned out to be a very harmful thing. Cha Ye pulled his sleeve next to him and lowered his voice, "If you really call you to be an imperial chef, would you take me to make side dishes?"
Chen Leng looked at Cha Ye: "I am so clear about my heart?"
Mr. Cha snorted and curled his lips.
After entering the academy, the emperor had a long talk with the old dean, and no one was allowed to disturb him. As for what the two of them said, there was no way to know. After Mu Zhaotong and his ministers came to the academy from Weiyang Palace, they were hung up for a long time.
The decree was not delivered until noon, saying that the emperor would eat in the academy today and the ministers could retreat. Only a few people were left waiting for His Majesty to summon him. Mu Zhaotong was not among them. Among the people who were left were Chen Changzai, the Minister of War and He Xinkui, the Minister of Personnel. Just think about it, you can know that the emperor wanted to ask how the wedding was arranged.
At the same time, Bai Xiaoluo lost the man in Hesu.
He was extremely furious, and he didn't expect that the guy Qide was so cunning. He deliberately took a detour back and forth, but he disappeared after seven or eight turns. Bai Xiaoluo led his people to catch up with a person who was dressed in the same clothes, but found that it was not Qide at all.
Qide had already glued his fake beard and changed into Taoist robe. He turned from Hesu Road to Lianshan Road. Lianshan Road Yunlaicheng City Qinghuan Mountain was his destination.
Bai Xiaoluo had no choice but to order his subordinates to search for the traces of Qides. He returned to Chang'an City overnight. He could not spend all his time outside. The wedding team would set off soon and he had to go back.
Bai Xiaoluo's team finally found some clues and hurriedly chased Lianshan Road and headed south along the Grand Canal, but soon lost its target and the group became confused.
About twenty or so people gathered to discuss what to do, just in Luancheng, which was close to the Grand Canal in Lianshan Road.
It was when the business was light, and the boss suddenly came in the teahouse and smiled immediately. These people threw ten taels of silver over and asked him to serve some refreshments and not disturb him. Of course, the boss was so happy.
Less than 200 meters away from the teahouse, three men in white clothes were asking for news with a solemn expression. A long-bearded Taoist suddenly appeared in front of them, and the three of them immediately became alert.
"I know you are from Liuyun Club."
The long-bearded Taoist waved and took the three people into an alley.
"I am Qide, the person you are looking for."
These three men in white were carrying a very thin and long thing behind their backs, which looked like a stick about one meter. The one next to him was carrying a wooden box behind them. The people from Liuyunhui in Daning should not be too silly, so the weapons should naturally not be exposed. There was no way to tell whether there was a sword or a knife in the wooden box. In the end, the man seemed to have nothing to carry, but his right arm looked obviously thicker.
In addition to the sacrificial and thunder, the flowing clouds will also be wind, snow and thunder. After the wind dies, someone will make up for it, and it is still in the name of wind.
"The people in the teahouse are all your enemies, and I can't kill so many of them alone."
Qidedao: "I can still tell who I can trust, so I don't worry about you
Show up in front of them.”
After a while, the wind, snow and thunder went straight to the teahouse.
The seven virtues turned around and left, disappearing into the sea of people.
In the reed marsh on the side of Jiangnan Road, those men in white cannot die in vain.
Two incense sticks later, the Luancheng government received news that something happened in the teahouse. The county magistrate personally brought people over. When he arrived, there were only corpses left in the teahouse. More than 20 Bai Xiaoluo's subordinates were killed, and blood flowed down the stairs like a stream.
Seven days later, Yunlaicheng was at the foot of the Qinghuan Mountains.
Qide found that small village and those people.
"then......"
An old woman's face turned pale when she mentioned things back then. It seemed to be a nightmare that she would never want to mention again in her life. However, with the token of the precious concubine, she had to remember that terrible night again.
Qide was unaware of it at that time because someone wanted to kill Concubine Zhen that night. He chased and killed the assassin and left the palace. Later, he thought about it, it was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Concubine Zhen naturally knew about it, but he refused to tell him.
The old woman looked at the few people around her. The youngest one was already gray-haired. They had lived in this small village for twenty years. The arrival of the seven virtues broke their tranquility, making them feel as if they were back to the bloody past.
"This matter... cannot be mentioned."
Another old woman suddenly stood up and said, "Even if you are the one sent by the Empress, we cannot tell you, it is related to the Empress's life and death."
Qide: "You can't even tell me? You don't know me."
"No one can say it."
The old woman who was in charge of delivering her baby walked out the door tremblingly, and didn't know what she was going to do. She said as she walked, "It's been twenty years, and we are living like deaf and mute in this small village. The Empress arranged for us to run out so far and live in seclusion in the world. It was a good thing for us to do charity and respite for twenty years. We remember the Empress's goodness."
She looked back and looked: "But we all know that the Empress just couldn't bear it, not because she was not moved to kill us. That was not a minor crime. These twenty years have been practicing, and she kept silent... If I don't say it, if you don't say it, you won't say it, it's a huge merit, because if you say it, too many people will die, and then you may have to destroy the three clans, or maybe nine clans."
The old woman walked to the well and said, "When I go back, I kowtowed to the Empress for me, I will say thank you for giving her a life for twenty years. Let me set an example... This matter ends here."
After saying that, he suddenly plunged into the well. Qide was shocked. When he rushed to the edge of the well, he only saw that the person had sunk.
Looking back, the old women in the room also stood up: "Mr. Qide, stop asking us."
One of the old women took out a small bottle, poured out a few pills and distributed it to others: "Twenty years of comfort, let us know that the world is worth it, it is very beautiful. We also know that the empress is suffering. We are willing to do things back then, not forced. Let's go back and tell the empress that that thing... will never be leaked."
Another old woman smiled and said, "Mr. Qide, thank you too. We have been preparing for death for twenty years. We thought you would come very early, but we came so late. We did good deeds and accumulated virtues to pray for the empress. Two days ago, we just delivered a fat daughter to the Zhou family wife in the village. It's great."
After saying that, he leaned his neck and swallowed the pills.
Qide stood there with a pale face.
He was here to kill people, but how could he calm down with such an ending? (https:)
