Chapter 45(1/2)
: So weak
A night of hurricane raged, causing the ruins of the Ping'an Jing to be destroyed and covered with tiles.
The wind disaster caused many civilian trees to collapse and houses to blow away...
There were also many casualties among civilians, and the emperor had ordered emergency relief.
There was a desolate atmosphere in Heian Kyo.
Inside the Heianjing, the yellow ginkgo leaves flew down like a butterfly danced.
After last night's hurricane, there were still leaves on the ginkgo tree standing tenaciously on the branches.
The autumn wind is cool and dry, and it is neither cold nor hot in the morning.
It is appropriate to sleep soundly in this weather.
But how can I sleep at this moment?
After Emperor Saga observed Prince Masakonai's situation, he was busy all morning with relief for disasters and did not leave Zihuan Palace until noon.
The sun at noon became hot, the sky was particularly blue, a vine flower climbed obliquely on the palace wall, and the fallen flowers were all over the ground.
Everything was different when Emperor Saga stepped into Qingliang Hall.
The female family members in Qingliang Hall were already disagreement last night, but the situation was dangerous last night and everyone dared not act rashly.
The moment Emperor Saga stepped into Qingliang Hall from Zihuan Hall, he could not help himself.
The concubines pulled him...
A group of concubines pulled left and right, grabbed Emperor Saga, and used their hands and feet to push their shoulders and arms... to hug their waists and abdomen, surrounding him.
Chattering, talking in words...
You push me and hit me, pull Emperor Saga, and snatch it. Emperor Saga is simply a human ball.
The concubines fought each other like this, acting coquettishly... angry... and actually started to fight.
Qingliang Palace suddenly became uncontrollable chaos...
These concubines and beauties who are usually coquettish and coquettish, now they do not care about their demeanor and face, and force Emperor Saga into their hands...
Emperor Saga was in the hands of these women, and the emperor's majesty was lost.
The inner part of Heian Kyo is really lively...
It's so lively...
Such a robbery is really lively and funny...
It is more lively than the most prosperous streets in Heian Kyo...
The concubines and princes in the harem, the princes and princesses, usually do not meet each other, but they can be at peace. Once they meet, they will inevitably be jealous, resentful, and jealousy. Saga has a headache for this.
According to historical records, "Saga Emperor" has a total of 28 wives and concubines and more than 50 children.
In order to arrange these children, he gave most of them to his ministers, Genji, and Genji became a noble surname with blood relationship with the royal family.
Fujiwara Toshiki followed Emperor Saga into the Qingliang Hall. The followers behind Emperor Saga seemed to be used to it and did not go up to assist Emperor Saga.
Kamikake and Tomotozumi were originally waiting for the summons outside the Qingliang Hall, and Emperor Saga asked them to come in, and the two followed behind.
When the master and apprentice saw Emperor Saga's scene, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Kooka and Chizumi felt very funny in their hearts, but they didn't dare to laugh.
The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Kūkai sighed in his heart: "The greatest karma in the world is love. People are reincarnated and rebuilt for life because they cannot comprehend 'love'."
Emperor Saga has an extraordinary appearance, a beautiful body, young and passionate person. He has many wives and concubines who are obsessed with him. But he is gentle and naturally cannot handle his feelings well.
The change of Yaozi, the wise and decisive emperor's deeds, was long heard by Kōkai.
When Kukai first met Emperor Saga, the emperor almost cried bitterly to save Prince Masakonai. Today he was caught in a fight for the concubines.
The rumors about the emperor's deeds are very different from today's behavior.
Kooka thought to himself: "The courageous and decisive emperor who dealt with the 'Medicago Change' that day is different from the weak and gentle emperor that he saw with his own eyes today. What he saw today... What kind of emperor are you, Saga?"
Such a nonsense is really a pity. Emperor Saga can no longer control the scene. He suddenly stretched out his head from the crowd and raised his hand vigorously to avoid being caught and shaking it hard.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel that the prisoner who was taken to be punished was just like this.
Why did Emperor Saga feel embarrassed to send a distress signal in front of the faces of the Master and the disciple of Tomoizumi?
However, Fujiwara Toshiji had already noticed it, but the Emperor had not made any statement, how could he claim it without authorization?
Seeing Saga sending a distress signal, Fujiwara Toshitsuki was calm and coughed twice, and said loudly: "The monster..."
Fujiwara Toshiki shouted "monster..." like this, and then slowly said the following words, which scared everyone.
"The monster... has not been removed, please tell the emperor." Fujiwara Tomoto said the word "monster" very loudly, with a long tail sound.
Suddenly hearing the "monster", the concubines were shocked, and they were immediately stopped and frightened!
The timid concubine screamed.
Emperor Saga took the opportunity to pull his arm out, rushed out of the crowd, tidied up his clothes, and sat on the throne.
Hearing Fujiwara Toshiki's voice and seeing that there were outsiders in the hall, the concubines did not dare to cause it. They hurriedly pulled out a folding fan to cover their faces and hurriedly retreated into the curtains.
The concubines retreated, like the tide receding from the sea, and there was no one in front of the imperial throne.
Emperor Saga can finally get out of it.
After the curtains, the concubines still couldn't help but push and hit me, rushing to grab the front to watch.
Peeked out from the curtains, and looked at the Emperor and laughed.
Emperor Saga patted his forehead with his hand, and his face was extremely helpless.
Emperor Saga is wearing a "yellow robe with yellow robe", a "golden scarf crown" on his head, and a folding fan in his hand.
His gorgeous clothes and dignified manners, and his every frown and smile caused a group of concubines to scream in a low voice behind the curtain.
Imperial Golden Scarf Crown - the emperor's daily crown. In order to fix the swaying tassels, a towel paper wrapped in gold foil was used. The color of the yellow bead is earthy yellow, which is the emperor's royal color.
Yellow pine dye (the emperor's royal color)
Although Emperor Saga looked helpless, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He was embarrassed to let others see it. He half-covered his face with a fan, and smiled secretly, then looked at the curtains with a slanted eyes and sent a look into the curtains.
There was another commotion inside the curtain.
It's so beautiful, with different colors of clothes exposed under the curtains, and the colors are gorgeous. From the corners of the clothes, you can know who is standing behind the curtains. Emperor Saga knows, "It's Tajiri Takako, it's Ohara Yoshiko..."
Emperor Saga was immersed in the screams and praises of his concubines.
Emperor Saga enjoys this feeling of starry sky.
Faced with the struggle between a group of concubines, I could not help. Since this is the case, I was so weak, how could I establish majesty in front of the concubines?
After a while, the curtain gradually calmed down. Emperor Saga "Ha, heh", cleared his throat and signaled to Fujiwara Toshiki.
Fujiwara Toshiki was wearing a black belt outfit, chubby body, round face, always smiling, and looking very modest.
He was the new favorite of Emperor Saga. He made great contributions in the rebellion that suppressed the "Maozi Incident" and was deeply trusted by Emperor Saga.
The belt is the formal outfit of a civil servant, and the professional outfit of a male aristocrat who was attending (attendant inside).
Depending on the stairs, the color, pattern and texture of the belt are also different.
One to four are black, five are scarlet, and six are blue.
According to the color of the clothing, the level of status is clear at a glance.
After receiving the instructions of Emperor Saga, Fujiwara Toshitsuki announced to everyone: "In order to ensure safety, everyone must obey Master Kukai's arrangements."
Emperor Saga looked at Fujiwara Toshizuki with praise, thanks to Fujiwara Toshizuki's rescue just now.
A consensus has been reached with Kōkai.
The Emperor had given orders and obeyed Master Kukai's arrangements.
Indeed... everything needs to be arranged by Kaguchi...
"There are too many people, so it is not a good idea to stay in Qingliang Hall like this. Since that's the case, please go back to your respective bedrooms first and come back after dinner to ensure safety. The concubines returned to their respective bedrooms, and many other royal women were arranged in different back halls. The princes in the Masako should not be moved, so they will still stay in Qingliang Hall." Kooka ordered this.
Kōkai said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the little monk will encircle the entire inner barrier, but in order to ensure safety, I feel wronged that your Majesty has stayed in Qingliang Hall these days."
Emperor Saga said, "Assuming everything by the master's arrangement, do the master need any items?"
Kōkai replied: "Please arrange for the palace servants and take the monk to the barriers in the palace."
"Hanoi, you are responsible for leading the master to each palace. You are responsible for preparing what items the master needs, and you must be properly..." Emperor Saga ordered the guards around him.
While speaking, Emperor Saga saw a commemorative officer entering from outside the palace at the end of his eyes. After bowing his head and sneering with Fujiwara Toshizuki, Fujiwara Toshizuki took a memorial, waved his hand, and the commemorative officer bid farewell to leave.
Emperor Saga knew that there must be something to report, so he ordered Hanoi: "Now accompany Master Kukai."
Hanoi received the order and accompanied Kōkai and Chizumi to exit Qingliang Hall.
Everyone retreated, and Fujiwara Toshiki handed the memorial to Emperor Saga with a serious expression.
