I rolled up the curtains from the car, leaned out, and said, "Who is it?"
Under the twilight of the setting sun, tired birds return to the forest, and the shadow of the red river is heavy. The feeling of bloody vastness seems to be oppressing people's hearts.
Bao Fu said: "Sister, stay here."
I smiled sadly, shook my head and said, "Are you here to see me off? Why come in person at this juncture? It's too insignificant and your life will be even more difficult in the future."
Lingrong's smile was light and gentle, as frail and graceful as her figure. She approached me and whispered, "I'm not here to see my sister off." She hugged the bundle tightly to her chest and said
: "I have informed the emperor that I would like to live in Wuliang Palace with my sister."
I was shocked and confused, and said, "What did you say?"
Lingrong's expression was indifferent and calm, "My sister and I will go to Wuliang Palace together, and the emperor has agreed."
I was moved like a tide and washed over my body. I was shocked for only a moment. I quickly woke up and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Where is the Wuliang Palace? If you accompany me, your future in this palace will be ruined." I looked gloomy.
, looked at her and said: "What's more, I'm going there, and I don't even know when I'll be back. I'm afraid I'll spend the rest of my life in the Wuliang Palace. Why should you accompany me?
Live like this."
On the night of July 15th, my simple clothes were so thin that I couldn't help the night wind. I suddenly remembered that today is the legendary Ghost Festival, and even the night wind was gloomy, carrying a bit of hostility and sadness.
Resentment. Lingrong's expression was a little desolate, but beyond the desolation there was a vague sense of relief. Her voice sounded a little unreal in the sobbing wind: "Lingrong has committed crimes against various concubines recently.
Moreover, my sister has treated me with great kindness. Rather than continue to scheming in this palace and suffer the pain of being left out, I would rather accompany my sister and take care of each other."
I sighed, the wind picked up the hanging hair on my temples and rubbed it against my face, making it feel scratchy and itchy, and the corners of my eyes felt sour and moist.
What Ling Rong said was true. After she was canonized as a concubine, Xuan Ling's favor towards her was not as good as before. He often did not see her once every three to five days. And because she did not have a formal title, although
She was ranked in the fifth rank, but she was one level lower than Tianbi and others. However, her canonization made the people in the palace jealous and realized that Xuan Ling only cared about her. Seeing that Xuan Ling was now
When she is treated like this, and he dares to ridicule her more and more, her life is really not easy.
Seeing that I was hesitant, Lingrong said sadly: "Sister, please help me." She handed the bundle of silk and silk in front of her, and said with some temper: "I've even packed the bundle. If sister doesn't want to
, I won’t go back to Yuruntang, so I can only live in Yifu Hall watching an empty house for my sister.”
If she is willing to do this, she can be regarded as my friend in times of need. Going with me can be considered a good haven for her.
I gently held her hand, took her bundle into it, and said, "As long as my sister is not afraid of the remoteness and isolation of Wuliang Palace, there will be no one to serve her."
Lingrong smiled, unable to conceal her joy, and said, "As long as my sister is here."
Wuliang Temple is not far away. On the island in the center of Fanyue Lake, it was time to change into a small boat and swing for two sticks of incense. But apart from the boat, there is no other way to reach Wuliang Temple.
After leaving the ship and landing on the island, the huge beamless palace was built by the founding emperor as a summer palace for the empress. However, there were no beams or rafters, only huge windows all around, giving a wide view. Apart from the green grass palace walls, the only
There is a vast lake with rippling blue waves.
After Huanbi looked around the surroundings, she sighed happily and said: "Although it cannot be compared with Yifu Pavilion, fortunately it is not too deserted and in disrepair." As he said this, he talked with Jinxi, Liuzhu, Baojuan and Xiao
Yunzi worked together to place boxes, cages and bedding in the bedroom.
Ling Rong came in and said happily: "I thought Wuliang Palace was already dilapidated, but it turned out to be quite clean and tidy. Finally, although the Emperor listens to Concubine Hua, he doesn't always treat my sister harshly."
I heard what she said, my eyebrows moved, and I said to Li Chang who sent us here: "Although Wuliang Palace cannot meet you, it is kept fresh and clean. I know that my father-in-law has taken the trouble. I would like to thank my father-in-law."
Chang Li understood and bowed and said: "My Majesty used to be very caring and caring for me. Today, my Majesty is in trouble. I just tried my best to serve you. I only hope that I will have the opportunity to serve you in the future." I was laughing at this old clever man.
, the words flowed so smoothly.
Lingrong said with a smile: "Sister's kindness in treating others has been rewarded today, and even I can benefit from it a lot."
I smiled slightly, and Li Chang said hurriedly: "I can't stay too long. I will send people to deliver all the supplies. I have to send all these ships. It's getting late. Your Majesty and my young master should rest first."
My expression darkened and I said, "My father-in-law, please come."
Seeing Li Chang leaving, Lingrong said: "Sister, don't be too discouraged. The emperor was just temporarily deceived. He still loves my sister very much in his heart. He may take her out one day."
I patted her hand and comforted her: "I'm fine. It's hard for you to suffer too." I thought about it and said, "Why did you only bring Baojuan with you? Where's Juqing? Is one palace maid enough to handle you?"
Lingrong smiled sweetly and said: "Baojuan is a girl born in my family. She is used to being clumsy. Juqing is a maid given to me by my sister. How can I bear to bring her here and ask her to guard Yurun?"
I'm done." She smiled and stroked her hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, I can also do some needlework, so I can just do it myself."
When I saw her saying this, I couldn't help but sigh, "It's really hard for you. Mobile phone visit: 16Κ"
The days in Wuliang Palace were peaceful and lonely. Every day, I only faced the vast palace and a few palace maids. All I could do was embroidery, read books, and chat with the mausoleum to relieve boredom.
Occasionally when you are happy, make some side dishes and snacks together, or prepare simple spices from ancient books, and enjoy yourself.
This kind of time is like the situation before Lingrong and I entered the palace. We were together day and night, without the boring palace etiquette lessons. It seemed like a peaceful day without fighting. But I felt uneasy in my heart.
.This uneasiness is not due to being disgraced and claustrophobic, but because of deep worries and concerns.
How good is Xuan Ling? How good is brother?
More than ten days passed in a flash, and it was getting colder. I always sat alone by the lake for an hour or two every day, looking at the densely packed palaces along Fanyue Lake and the mysterious palace in the green Nanxun Palace.
Ling, is he okay?
In the midst of worries about political affairs, my thoughts occasionally wandered away. The lotus flowers all over the lake were in full bloom and were about to collapse. It reminded me of the same situation with the lotus flowers in Taiye Pond that year. He secretly took me back to Tangli in a boat. It was also him.
, those intentions that made the white lotus bloom in April to celebrate my birthday.
But this time when I came to Taiping Palace, I seemed to have no trace of him anymore, and I didn't want to ask about him. I only vaguely heard people say that Xuan Ling sent him to the border gate, and it was called to praise things, but in fact he was just looking for an opportunity to let him go.
He went to travel around the mountains and rivers, and he was drunk all day long in the army. King Runan just ignored him. Therefore, when people in the royal family talked about him, they mostly laughed and said with a smile that he was an idle prince who inherited the good looks of his parents.
That's all, just being proficient in writing but not being able to tie a chicken.
But I clearly remember that the sharp arrow that pierced a pair of Hai Dongqing's eyes came from his hand.
Xuan Ling has been raising his troops for a thousand days, but they will be useful for a while.
Every time Lingrong saw me staring at the lake, she would always say with a hint of sadness: "Who are you thinking about, sister?"
I turned around coldly: "There is no one to think about, I can only think about myself."
Lingrong lifted up her skirt and sat down next to me. The cool breeze from the shore wrinkled her thin and delicate face. Lingrong said lightly: "Isn't the emperor already forgetting us?"
At the beginning of August, Li Chang came personally and sent some clothes and other trivial things for Qiuling, so I ordered people to go down and collect them.
Seeing that I had lost some weight, Chang Li said, "How is your Majesty? Your Majesty is very concerned about me."
I nodded: "I'm fine. Please tell your father-in-law to tell the emperor to rest assured."
I pretended to take a stroll and walked to the waterside. When I saw no one around, I asked, "How is your Majesty?"
Li Chang said with a smile: "Hello, Your Majesty."
I was still worried, so I asked again: "Is everything okay?"
He lowered his head and said, "Everything is going well with your Majesty. Please rest assured, Madam." I breathed a long sigh of relief, and my expression became much more relaxed.
Li Chang bowed and said, "I came here this time to tell you that the emperor will return to Luan tomorrow."
I was worried about the situation he would encounter in the capital, but I said lightly "Oh" and said: "Thank you, father-in-law, for serving the emperor well."
I looked up at the sky, the sky was endless, the water and the sky were all one color, making it hard to tell where the end was. Li Chang approached me and whispered: "It is your Majesty's will. The Queen Mother's phoenix body has not yet recovered. This autumn's beautiful girl
The big challenge is postponed.”
My relaxation spread silently throughout my body.
Concubine Hua is lucky, and King Runan is ready to make a move. At this time, I have too much time to take care of myself. If another group of new people come to make trouble, I will inevitably have to worry about one thing and lose the other.
Xuan Ling also understood that the new concubines who entered the palace all had their own forces behind them. At this juncture, it would only make the situation more complicated. It would be better to have more trouble than less trouble.
I brushed the dust off my clothes and said, "Please ask the queen to take care of the affairs in the palace."
Li Chang nodded: "Yes. I will wrong the empress for a while longer." He took out a silk bundle from behind and said: "This is what Shen Jieyu gave to the slave. She said that the weather was getting colder, and the emperor did not allow it.
The empress has returned to the palace. The wind is strong on the lake, so she asked my servant to bring her here."
My heart is filled with warmth and sorrow. No matter what kind of resentment there is, Meizhuang always misses me in her heart.
When Li Changlin left, he said: "I will leave tomorrow. My apprentice Xiaoyou is quite clever. From now on, he will deliver things to the empress."
He took two steps, and I caught up with him and said urgently: "If anything goes wrong when you get to the capital, you must send someone to tell me."
Li Chang advised: "The emperor is worried that the empress will bear the brunt of the harm, so he asked the empress to avoid it for a while. It is important for the empress to feel at ease."
I nodded, hoping in my heart that Xuan Ling would be safe and sound.
After Xuan Ling and the concubine left, Taiping Palace fell silent again. I have never watched this gorgeous royal garden quietly in such a season. It turns out that after the hustle and bustle, it was also lonely.
The days away from the capital and the harem were like being isolated from the world. But despite this, bits and pieces of news about the former dynasty in Beijing still reached my ears secretly through Xiaoyou. Sometimes I was happy, sometimes anxious, and even more secretly.
There are many worries and concerns.
The lotus flowers all over the lake have faded, the autumn rain is blowing, and the sound of the withered lotus leaves being beaten by the rain makes me toss and turn.
The maple leaves turned red, the chrysanthemums bloomed, and the wild geese flew south. Gradually, the autumn wind became colder, with a strong sense of chill. When the frost fell, more than two months had passed in the blink of an eye. The biggest happy event during this period was that my sister-in-law
I gave birth to a fair, fat and healthy boy in the Xue Mansion. I can rest assured that I have a daughter-in-law.
Late that night, Lingrong and I were under the window together. She lowered her head and was sewing a cotton-padded jacket to wear in winter, while I was reading history books by the candlelight. Liu Zhu was very tired and took a nap beside her.
, my breathing was a little heavy, but I could hear the sound of the pages turning, rustling, rustling, mixed with the sound of the lake water lapping the shore, like a light rain.
There is the fragrance of ink between the yellowed pages of the book. Every word and every word is the past, and it seems to be hidden here. Most of the history books are the history of men, not to mention the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods when the north and the south were facing each other. Brothers stared at the wall, father and son.
To become enemies, in terms of governance alone, there are the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms" by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the "Xuanwumen Incident" by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, when various princes competed for the throne, and the "sound of axes and shadows of candles" by Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. A history book is full of swords and swords.
, written with blood and tears.
Brotherly fight! Brotherly fight! Either you die or I live. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Life and death are all in an instant. My heart was trembling with fear. As soon as my hand softened, the book fell to the ground.
Lingrong raised his head and asked with surprise: "What's wrong with sister?"
I was afraid that she would find out what was on my mind, so I hurriedly concealed my smile and said, "It's nothing, my hands are sore holding the book."
Lingrong smiled, "I always can't understand why my sister loves reading so much. I get a headache when I see those ant-like characters."
I leaned over and picked up the book and said with a smile, "It's just to relieve my boredom."
I still opened the pages of the book, but I was stunned. No matter whether I am with Xuan Ling or not, he is everything to me. My honor and disgrace, life and death, dignity and inferiority are all given by him. No matter whether I love him wholeheartedly or not,
Whether we are willing to be by his side or not, we are all one. When he is glorious, I may not be glorified, but when he is humiliated, I must be humiliated.
And he has been planning for a long time, and he must not lose. What if, I dare not think about what if, if he is gone.
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I became flustered, my chest felt tight, and I wanted to cry. It turned out that I was so afraid of his death; it turned out that I still had this sincerity for him.
Only then did I realize what kind of connection and concern Xuan Ling and I had. Apart from interests, we also had true feelings.
While I was lost in thought, Lingrong pushed me and said with concern: "Sister, I've been feeling uneasy lately, but is there anything on your mind?"
I shook my head and was about to speak when the red candle on the table burst out sparks from its wick, which sounded particularly sultry in the silence.
But Lingrong smiled first: "The lights are exploding, and a happy event is coming. Whatever my sister has on her mind, I can do my best."
I knew that this matter was empty and unreliable, but the words spoke to my heart, and I couldn't help but smile at the corners of my lips.
While we were talking, Jin Xi came in with a pot of charcoal fire, woke Liu Zhu up, and said with a smile: "When the weather gets cold, Miss Zhu becomes more and more sleepy." Jin Xi stepped forward and rubbed my hand, saying, "My dear, my dear."
My hands are a little cold." He took the hand stove and simmered it in my arms, and said enthusiastically: "My servant has simmered some taro in the charcoal basin, and you can eat it later."
As soon as she said this, Liu Zhu woke up from his drowsiness. Lingrong said happily: "I used to eat it often at home, but now I haven't tasted it after a few years. It smells very fragrant." So they talked and laughed around the charcoal basin.
I laughed and started eating. I listened to them talking and laughing in a daze, but my heart flew far away to Ziao City.
The good news came a few days before winter really started. The sunshine that day was particularly good. I watched Liu Zhu and Huanbi move all the bedding out and expose them to the sun. From time to time, they would pat them with a big paddle.
The dust rose vigorously, like gold flying in confusion, with a slightly choking smell.
I squinted my eyes to avoid the strong sunlight. My life was so trivial and ordinary, but Xuan Ling, has he succeeded? King Runan is indeed not easy to deal with.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a fleet approaching from the lake with colorful flags flying, and my heart tightened. I didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse. Then my hand subconsciously reached into my lapel and tightly curled up a small dagger.
The night before I was scolded, Xuan Ling and I were in the courtyard. His mouth was a little rough, and he touched my cheek, put a small dagger in my hand, and said in a deep voice: "I am a matter of life and death.
There is no complete certainty. If something unexpected happens, you... can defend yourself."
I solemnly accepted it close to my body: "Your Majesty is the son of destiny, and everything will go as planned." My lips and teeth instantly became sharp and decisive, "If the evil really invades the good, I will never survive."
Xuan Ling held my hand and was as silent as the stars in the sky.
I came back to my senses. If Xuan Ling was really defeated and lost his power and life, then I would not be able to protect myself. Rather than suffer humiliation and torture at the hands of King Runan and Concubine Hua, I would rather die.
The fear of death quickly approached me, so close that I didn’t know if I would be able to breathe safely in the next second. What if that fleet was sent by King Runan? I suddenly became determined and determined, if I kill myself
, but also with great force. If Xuan Ling is really defeated by him, I will also try my best to kill a few people with my own hands, so that I can't go in vain.
After thinking about it this way, I calmed down a lot. This was already the worst plan. No matter how bad things were, it couldn't get any worse. Instead, I lost my fear.
The person who greeted us was Xiao You. His face was full of joy and he only said two words: "It's done."
My heart was overjoyed, my body softened, and the dagger fell to the ground with a bang, "Is everything okay, Your Majesty?"
Xiao You hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, everything is safe. The dragon's body is healthy."
Tears flowed down. It turned out that they were tears of joy. The king of Runan, who had been in serious trouble, was eliminated. Xiaoyou hurriedly said happily: "My queen, don't cry, it's such a happy thing. The emperor orally ordered the servants to welcome the queen and concubine An to return to the palace. Hurry up."
Come on."
I gently wiped the tears from my cheeks and nodded vigorously.
On the first night after returning to the palace, Xuan Ling stayed in my Tangli Palace. He just held my face and looked at me. He said with pity: "We have been apart for nearly a hundred days, Huan Huan, you have become thinner."
I stroked my cheek and said, "Wuliang Palace is isolated from the outside world, and I am worried about Shiro day and night."
He suddenly thought of something and said gently: "Concubine An is really in love with you. Knowing that you were imprisoned in Wuliang Palace, she came crying and begged me to allow her to be your companion. Sharing joys and sorrows is easy, and the love of offering help in times of need is extremely valuable.
"
There was a hint of appreciation in his tone, and I said in a low voice: "Sister An is as the emperor said, but I dare not tell the truth. It is always better for one less person to know." Seeing him nod, I stared at him.
Him: "Is your Majesty okay?"
He held me close to his chest and said, "Have you asked me this many times since you returned to the palace?"
I was startled and said softly: "Really? I don't know it myself."
He patted my back and said, "It's okay, everything is over now."
"Everything has passed?" I murmured.
"Yes." Xuan Ling sighed, "Sixth Brother's people took away King Runan's military power in various places, imprisoned the generals and defeated his troops."
I softly said "Huh?" and my heart moved, but I didn't say anything. Hearing my doubts, Xuan Ling smiled and said: "Do you think the people hanging out with Sixth Brother are really just literati? Sixth Brother
I’m not powerless myself.”
I smiled: "It turns out that Shiro has already made arrangements. All the previous things were just to confuse them." I smiled on my face, but I was worried on the inside. Although Xuan Qing was used by Xuan Ling, his intervention in the coup this time made Xuan
Ling knew that he had the ability to mobilize troops, so he was afraid that his situation would only make Xuan Ling jealous. With the experience of King Runan, Xuan Qing's biological mother was Concubine Shu, and he was the late emperor's most valued son, so Xuan Ling's suspicion would be even greater.
More.
He smiled: "Your brother is also indispensable. If he had not taken the opportunity to obtain the list of King Runan's gang members and led the Yulin army to control the palace of King Runan, he would not have been able to achieve such a great event so quickly."
I was slightly surprised: "Why didn't King Runan resist?"
He was quite pleased with himself: "There was no warning before this. The night before, the Queen Mother invited his concubines and princes to visit the Emperor and Concubine in the palace, and allowed them to stay in the palace."
I sighed slightly: "He is worried about his wife and children."
Xuan Ling said: "It's okay not to be scrupulous. He has no troops left under his command. Only the generals in the palace can resist for a while. He is a sensible person!"
My heart moved slightly. Even though King Runan has a disloyal heart, he cherishes his wife and children extremely much. What's more, his desire for power is more likely to come from various grievances and neglect when he was young. So.
Question: "How is King Runan doing now?"
Xuan Ling's expression darkened and he said: "Detained in the imperial palace. I have written six papers to discuss his crime."
I didn't say anything. This treatment was reasonable. I just wanted to see how the crime was settled. Xuan Ling calmed down and said to me, "Did you know that your sister-in-law gave birth to a boy?"
I laughed: "So Shiro also knows?"
He chuckled: "Now that the matter is understood, your brother and sister-in-law can be reunited as husband and wife. Your brother's reputation has been ruined, and he can't even see the baby after he is born."
I smiled and said, "This is for my country and the emperor, these grievances are nothing."
He smiled happily. Tangli Palace was lit with red candles and the stove was incense-scented. It was obviously different from the frosty and cold weather outside.
Early the next morning, I went to pay my respects to the queen. Concubine Hua was still there, but her demeanor was slumped. She was no longer the same as before. I was not impatient. The affairs of the previous court would not be implicated in the harem. In the past, Mrs. Yue's brother, Marquis Boling, had rebelled.
, the late emperor did not depose her, he just ignored her. Even if I didn't say anything, the queen would not let her go. After Yili saw her, she left after a few words.
After everyone dispersed, the Queen left me alone and said warmly: "Thank you for your hard work, my dear concubine."
I hurriedly said with a smile: "It is even harder for the Queen to accompany and take care of the Emperor. I thank you very much, Queen."
There was a deep smile in her eyes: "I and you both share the emperor's worries, how can we not do our best?"
Naturally, she didn't leave me alone just to chat about family affairs. The queen slowly stroked her armor and said: "Concubine Hua's status will be lost sooner or later. I'm afraid the people around her will also be implicated. If she doesn't die, she'll be crazy."
, there are not many concubines left in the emperor’s palace.”
I felt a little cold in my heart, but I still smiled and said: "Is your Majesty going to draft a talent show for the Emperor? That's what it should be. It was originally said to be postponed."
The queen sat upright and said: "You must choose a beautiful girl, but not now. There are many things going on right now, and you can't afford to put in that effort. What the emperor means is..." She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked out the window.
The shallow sunshine on the ground said: "There are many ministers who have made meritorious deeds in pacifying King Runan this time."
The queen didn't say anything more, she just looked at me calmly, her eyes uninterested. I already understood what she meant, and I held my breath: "It would be best if there are girls of the right age from these meritorious families who can be chosen as sisters in the palace."
But, I believe she must be a lady and behave in a dignified manner."
The Queen smiled with relief, "It turns out that Your Majesty, I, and your concubine have decided to go to the same place, so I'll let you choose a good day to enter the palace."
I Fuyifu said with a smile: "The Empress is the master of the harem, it's up to the Empress to make the decision."
The queen picked up the tea cup, blew on it gently, and said slowly: "But then again, you are also a woman from a family of heroes."
A few days later, the six ministries discussed the charges against King Xuanji of Runan. There were ten major crimes in total: despising the emperor, betraying the late emperor, forming cliques for personal gains, disrupting government affairs, blocking speech, beating ministers, lining personal pockets, having ulterior motives, abusing martial arts, and supporting soldiers with self-respect.
.All of them are extremely heinous and capital crimes.
Xuan Ling approved the memorial, but the decree was: King Runan had great military exploits, served for a long time, and was a brother. He couldn't bear to kill him, which would chill the soul of the deceased emperor. Therefore, I couldn't bear to punish him, so I can spare his death. He was dismissed.
He was honored by the king, demoted to a commoner, imprisoned in the imperial palace for life, and could not be visited except by imperial edict.
"What about Princess Gongding and the Crown Prince?" I asked.
He said calmly: "Yi Ying should be demoted to common people, but I have allowed them to continue to stay in the old residence of King Runan." He said: "It is also the Queen Mother's wish."
I felt silently and sadly. In the struggle for power between men, women have always been just pawns, and honor and disgrace cannot be controlled by themselves. How would the He family, a common man today, feel when he returns to his old residence and witnesses the glory of the past and the decadence of today?
However, this sadness only lasted for a moment. I soon woke up. If it was Xuan Ling who was defeated today, I'm afraid my fate would be worse than that of the He family. She still has a place to stay, but I don't even have a burial place.
Now that Xuan Ji has been punished, the next step is to punish his accomplices. Xuan Ling had already done these things skillfully when he was the regent, and now he is even more skilled at it. He killed, demoted, and exiled. As the most important confidants of Xuanji, the Murong clan
The cronies naturally involve the whole clan.
So some ministers wrote a letter, admonishing Xuanling to govern the world with severe punishments and laws to prevent further unrest. Especially for the Murong clan who once held military power, all nine clans must be exterminated to serve as a warning to others.
Xuan Ling slowly sipped the tea and handed the memorial to me with a thoughtful expression, saying, "You should also take a look."
I read it carefully and only asked: "What does the emperor mean..."
He said: "It makes some sense."
I closed the memorial, respectfully placed it in front of him, and simply asked: "What does the emperor think of the literary scene of the Han Dynasty? What do Qin Shihuang and his son think of it?"
He said: "Wen Jing is a model for governing the world, which originated from Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty treated others with kindness and cultivated the virtues of an emperor; while Qin Shihuang and his son..." He smacked lightly: "He is a violent king, and the country is in chaos.
The rulers of future generations should be careful and warn against this."
I stood in the light and shadow and said with a smile: "Emperors Wen and Jing thought many times that the punishments were harsh and caused hardship to the people, so they reduced their punishments; while the first emperor of Qin and the second emperor of Qin had harsh punishments, and they would be implicated and killed, and the people were frightened. The rule of the king
, If you value virtue rather than punishment, how can you abandon literary and artistic views and imitate Qin Shihuang and his son?"
While they were talking, there was the sound of a woman crying outside. Li Chang came in and said, "To report to the Emperor, Concubine Hua wishes to see the Emperor."
Xuan Ling's expression froze, and he uttered two words coldly: "Missing!"
"This..." Li Changwei said, "Concubine Hua has asked to see you three times today, and this time she even broke her head."
Xuan Ling turned his back and said, "Tell her, it's useless to ask for a meeting three hundred times. Find someone to bandage her wounds and let her stay in her palace." Li Chang went out in response, and Xuan Ling softened her expression.
, said: "Let's talk about ours."
I looked at his expression and said, "Yes. I just think that severe punishments should be used in troubled times. If you kill too many lives, it will make the people uneasy."
He paced and pondered for a moment, then said: "With this change, I will only severely punish the first culprit, and leave the rest of them with a way to survive."
I felt calm in my heart and said with a smile on my face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Xuan Ling picked up the ink pen and wrote a reply after the memorial: "Seize the title of the Murong clan. Kill Murong Jiong, Murong Shisong, and Murong Shibai. The female family members under the age of fourteen were taken into the palace as maids. The rest were exiled to Liuqiu and were not allowed to return to the court for life.
.”
A heart is set in stone. Xuan Ling will naturally take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty, and it is time to clear up the harem.
Concubine Hua, you are already alone and have no one to rely on anymore.
