Emperor Tai Awu was confirmed to have disappeared from the world, just like no one knew where he came from. His departure left no trace, only his illustrious deeds in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
A heavy stroke.
Unparalleled in history.
What makes future generations elusive is that, according to unofficial records, after Emperor Tai'awu disappeared from the world, both the Humin Villa and the royal family lamented Tai'a's disappearance and tried their best to search for his traces within the country.
But Princess Yunluo, the sister of Ming Wuzong who had a deep love for Tai'a, didn't care about Tai'a at all. Instead, she smiled day and night, never lost her playfulness, and visited all the fun places around the capital.
But that year, the imperial city was filled with purple lavender.
The maids often saw Princess Yunluo sitting in the lavender flower bed, looking at the stars and murmuring.
No one knew who she was talking to or what she was talking about.
AD 1515, the seventh day of the first lunar month.
Heavy snowfall in the Imperial City.
The streets, large and small, have brick and tile cornices, are covered with rime and are covered with silver.
The sound of a baby crying came from the Guardian Villa.
The second owner of Humin Villa, the son of Duan Tianya, was born and named Duan Zhengchun.
It is said that this name was given by Emperor Tai'a Wu, and was later confirmed by Tai'a's junior brother Cheng Shifei himself.
On that day, the Five Ambassadors of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth at Humin Villa, as well as Princess Yunluo, gathered at Humin Villa to congratulate Duan Tianya.
Fire Messenger Cheng Shifei and Yunluo Princess adopted Duan Zhengchun as their adopted son that day. Fire Messenger claimed that he would pass on the mantle of the tenth generation disciple of the Vajra Indestructible Magic to this adopted son named after his eldest brother.
Princess Yunluo even regarded her as her own, filled the treasure house of the Humin Villa with congratulatory gifts, and personally invited three wet nurses in the imperial court to take turns taking care of Duan Zhengchun and his mother Liu Shengpiaoxu.
In AD 1517, the tenth month of the lunar calendar, an emergency came from the Ming Dynasty's border. Boyan, the Mongolian prince, knocked on the pass and attacked with an army of 300,000 men.
Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, was not worried but overjoyed. Later generations speculated that he might want to use this battle to strengthen the imperial power and weaken the common situation that the people only knew Tai'a but not the emperor, so he personally led the border army and marched in person.
The two sides fought for several days and nights. It is said that Zhu Houzhao went to the front line, fought with the enemy, and killed one person with his own hands. However, there were dangers everywhere. Fortunately, the fire messenger Cheng Shifei rescued him and turned the danger into safety.
Cheng Shifei's golden body was immortal. One man went straight to the enemy's hinterland, and another man fought against more than a hundred enemy martial arts masters. Ten thousand soldiers were among them, killing more than five thousand enemies.
It is quite the style of Emperor Tai Awu when he came to the world. His power was overwhelming. One man was in charge of the pass and thousands of troops were able to overcome the difficulties.
Finally, after five days, the Mongolian army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and Boyan knocked down the pass, silenced his troops, and retreated.
This battle was won.
Zhu Houzhao was very pleased with Longyan, and he appointed the fire envoy Cheng Shifei as the second King Wu, and he was the second-rank official with Tai'a.
AD 1518, the twenty-eighth day of the fourth lunar month.
Emperor Tai Awu has been missing for four years.
Princess Yunluo, like previous years, drove away all the servants and sat alone in the lavender garden for three days without eating or drinking.
According to her personal maid, on these three days every year, the innocent and joyful Princess Yunluo would be alone, looking at the moon, whispering, vaguely holding a dry lavender in her hand.
Inside the high wall, bursts of wailing could be heard from time to time.
But every time after these three days, Princess Yunluo, who looked haggard and extremely melancholy, would eat and drink again after walking out of the high wall of the flower garden, and instantly regain her usual joy. She would travel to various places with her slaves and friends, never falling behind.
tear.
In 1520 AD, in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the daughter of Shangguan Haitang, the water messenger, and Gui Haiyida, the wood messenger, was born, and they were named: Gui Haiyan Hui.
It is said to have been taken by Princess Yunluo.
The meaning is self-evident.
In July of the same year, King Wu's daughter Cheng Shifei was born, and she was named Cheng Luoye.
It means that the lost leaves will return to their roots as soon as possible.
In 1527 AD, Zhu Houzhao, the grandson of Zhu Jianshen, Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty, and cousin Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty, succeeded to the throne. His reign was named Jiajing, and he was later called Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing was wise and strict in his early years, implemented continuous reforms, controlled officials with strictness, and governed the people with leniency, rectified the government's policies, reduced taxes, fought against Japanese pirates, and revitalized the country's affairs.
In July of the 25th year of Jiajing, that is, 1532 AD, Duan Zhengchun, the tenth generation successor of the Vajra Indestructible Magic, who was only seventeen years old, was very energetic. With the help of Wu Wang Chengshifei's teaching, he opened the golden body for the first time.
In the same month of the same year, after paying homage to his ancestor Gu Santong and Emperor Wu Tai'a, he asked Emperor Jiajing for orders to go to the coast to fight against Japanese pirates.
The young and energetic Duan Zhengchun fell into an ambush by more than 300 Japanese pirates. All his followers were killed or injured, but he was alone. With his immortal golden body, he killed more than 200 Japanese pirates and pursued the remaining Japanese pirates thirty miles overseas before stopping.
.
When Emperor Jiajing heard about this, he was greatly delighted by Long Yan's outstanding military exploits and his mother-in-law Yun Luo's recommendation. He was granted the title of Second-Class Uncle, General Zhenyuan, and was rewarded with Fang's Golden Sword. He then sent troops straight to the frontier to fight against the Mongolian barbarians and tear up the territory.
Successful news came one after another from the border. Duan Zhengchun of Zhenyuan was immortal. He led his army to win consecutive battles and finally rushed hundreds of miles away from Mongolia. The Mongolian Khan had no choice but to raise his flag to negotiate for peace. Under the pressure of the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, he signed a series of unequal treaties.
, make pilgrimages every year, and pay tribute every year.
Emperor Jiajing was very satisfied and appointed Duan Zhengchun, who was only 18 years old, as the third King Wu, with a first-rank official position.
The Five Envoys of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth in Humin Villa, together with Princess Yunluo, congratulated him one after another. That year, Humin Villa was decorated with red lanterns.
1541 AD, Dragon Boat Festival.
The 49-year-old Princess Yunluo was still playful and watched a dragon boat racing performance on the banks of the Huaihe River. Later, she became so playful that she went into the water herself and caught the shelduck with a red rope as a bonus. She had a great time.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Princess Yunluo, who originally wanted to go to the Tianshan Ice Pond, accidentally caught wind and cold and coughed non-stop.
A group of servants hurriedly sent him back to Beijing, where the imperial doctors diagnosed him one after another. They all shook their heads and sighed, and diagnosed him with tuberculosis.
The five important ministers of the Humin Villa came to visit one after another. The second King Wu, who had become a master at the age of 50, wanted to use the indestructible power of the Vajra to forcefully extend the life of Princess Yunluo, but with little success.
AD 1542, the first day of the first lunar month.
Happy New Year.
But Princess Yunluo, who was extremely ill and skinny as a stick, caused the entire imperial court to fall into silence.
The five important ministers of Humin Villa, the third King Wu Duan Zhengchun, the daughter of Guihai Yidao Gui Haiyanhui and others stayed by the side of Princess Yunluo day and night.
He took turns using his deep energy to save Princess Yunluo's life, but he could only manage to hold on for a breath and coughed up blood continuously.
The 50-year-old Wu Wangcheng was looking at the stars in the sky in his courtyard, stroking his gray goatee, silent for a long time, and whispering to himself: "Brother, it has been thirty years, you are so cruel..."
Suddenly I heard bad news coming from the house.
The second King Wu quickly returned to the house. Princess Yunluo was already haggard and dying. The blood beside the bed was stained with dozens of white cloths.
But even at this moment, she was still smiling, or looking back. She tremblingly took out a dried lavender that was almost in pieces from the sachet, leaned against the bed, and said weakly: "You guys, get out.
Come on, don't waste your energy on me anymore and leave me alone with Mrs. Ye."
As she spoke, she fell into memories and looked at the lavender.
Everyone hesitated to speak, and finally walked out of the house after being greeted by a sigh from Cheng Shifei, who was already a father and quite mature.
Cheng Shifei was the last one to walk out of the door. He sighed: "Yunluo, you said the happy time was gone forever... Sigh."
After saying this, he burst into tears, closed the door and walked out.
Princess Yunluo finally couldn't hold back her weak smile, and her face suddenly burst into tears. Thousands of memories came to her mind. In the past, she was in the casino, in the palace, in the East Factory that had been burned down, in Hulong Villa, in Lavender Flowers.
ocean……
I have deceived myself for so many years and forced myself to smile for so many years. Are I really happy?
The joyous sounds of the past are still echoing in my ears, as fresh in my memory as yesterday.
But why is it gone forever?
She whispered to herself: "Ye... too, one hundred years old is too far away. I'm sorry. I'm still so useless. I can't even live half of my life..."
Before she finished speaking, her figure had already slipped to the head of the bed, her breath was about to expire, and hallucinations began to appear in front of her eyes.
In the hallucination, he saw endless light, coming from an endless distance, breaking through the clouds, filling the courtyard, and then shining through the windows from the courtyard into the house.
A vague figure came from the endless light, holding in his hand a fresh lavender that could revive the dead.
