Anyone else would have been horrified when they first heard such rebellious remarks, but Li Jing and his wife were both calm and composed. They had all seen Liu Ziqiu's audacity. What else could a man who dared to break into the imperial palace say?
"Heroes emerge from troubled times." Li Jingruo realized something, "So, my dear brother thought that he would be able to do something great in the future?"
Liu Ziqiu almost blurted out his plan, but finally held back and said: "In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog. It's hard for people to prosper, and it's hard for people to die. I just hope that the world will always be safe!"
Li Jing originally thought that Liu Ziqiu would express his ambition, to become a powerful general, or even to rise up, but he did not expect that he would express such emotion. However, at first, this passage sounded hollow, but when you taste it carefully, it turns out to be profound.
There is profound meaning.
"If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern." Hong Funu broke the silence, pointed to the food and wine on the table and said, "You two brothers, one is a commoner and the other is a humble official, talk about what to do. Come,
Eat vegetables, eat vegetables.”
Liu Ziqiu also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Yes, today is the day of reunion, why are you talking about this? Big brother, sister-in-law, and little brother, here's a drink to you!"
In Shanglin Xiyuan, the beautiful ladies worshiped the moon god one after another. Some missed their relatives and some prayed for the future. Gao Xiuer also arranged the incense table in front of the door, placed the sacrifices, and silently made two wishes towards the bright moon.
.
In the past two years, she has been living outside, and it is good to be able to fill her stomach. How can she dare to expect any festivals. Now that she has entered the palace, she is wearing silk and satin, and eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. Even if she worships the moon now, she will not even worship the moon today.
It was also handled by Fang Ling.
It has been ten years since Gao Xiuer lived like this, "with clothes in hand and food in mouth". Although she was a concubine and her mother died early, Gao Jiong loved her the most. Even after he had a premonition that he was in danger, Gao Jiong also
Only her escape route was arranged.
Gao Xiu'er, who had lacked maternal love since childhood, was most attached to her father. After learning about her father's death, she became so impulsive and wanted to come to Dongdu for revenge. In fact, she knew in her heart that such an action was tantamount to suicide. The third promise she just made
One wish is to ask her father's spirit in heaven to protect her from killing her enemies with her own hands.
Her second wish was to ask that person to live well. When that person's boat was stopped by a fisherman on the Tongji Canal, her heart suddenly ached. Later, she got drunk and saw that person again.
, and a little sad and sad. The man saved her life and did not take the opportunity to smear her innocence. She knew even more that the man chased her all the way to Luoyang to persuade her to go back. She owed that man, and she would pay it back in this life.
If it doesn't work out, we can only look forward to the next life.
Gao Xiuer sighed quietly, raised her head, and saw Chen Fangling looking at the incense table in a daze. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Fang Ling, please pay your respects too."
Chen Fangling had this intention and quickly bowed her head, but Gao Xiuer pulled her back, pointed at the sacrifices on the table and said, "Let's change it."
"Thank you, madam." Chen Fangling was filled with joy and quickly packed up the incense case.
Gao Xiu'er knew what Fang Ling was thinking, but it was a pity that he had to plot that big thing and would inevitably drag her down in the future, so he could only try to be nice to her now.
While Fang Ling was packing up the incense table to worship the moon god, Gao Xiuer came to the courtyard alone. The best place to assassinate Yang Guang was in the 15th courtyard where she lived, so she had to try her best to familiarize herself with the situation in the courtyard and take a look.
Is there any place that can be used?
Suddenly I heard someone shouting from behind: "Sister from the Shi family."
Gao Xiuer looked back and saw that it was Xie Xiangwen who hurriedly said, "Sister, are you out for a walk too?"
The Xie family is a scholarly family. Xie Xiangwen has been proficient in poetry, poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child. Now that he has entered the palace, he is determined to win the position of the principal wife. Looking at the twenty beauties in the courtyard, he can form an impression on her.
The only ones who threatened were Gao Xiu'er and Yuan Ziyan. However, Xie Xiangwen had a dignified manner and a gentle temperament. He was not jealous and was interested in making friends with her.
I heard Xie Xiangwen smile and say: "With such beautiful scenery on such a beautiful day, my sister is willing to partner with me and go to the lake to enjoy the moon together?"
Gao Xiuer didn't feel like wandering around in the courtyard anymore, so she smiled and said, "Sister, please come first."
Yang Guang was extravagant by nature, and Yu Wenkai tried his best to build the Xiyuan Garden in order to cater to his preferences. Tens of thousands of lanterns of various types were prepared. At night, all the pavilions and pavilions were lit.
The lights are as bright as the stars in the sky, and the cost of candles every day is a huge expense. According to Yu Wenkai's original intention, the area along the lake should also be hung with lanterns, but he was worried that the lakeside was windy and prone to water leakage, so he gave up.
As a result, the area along the lake became the most peaceful place at night. Xie Xiangwen was so happy that he took Gao Xiuer with him to the lake.
Gao Xiuer's sharp eyes saw Yuan Ziyan burning incense and praying under the tree by the lake. She couldn't help but wonder: "Sister, look, my sister from the Yuan family comes here to worship the moon. She is really different."
Xie Xiangwen was also curious. He tiptoed to the lake and suddenly asked, "Sister Yuan, what are you doing here?"
Yuan Ziyan was looking at the sky in a trance. She never noticed someone coming behind her. She was startled. She turned around and saw Gao Xiuer and Xie Xiangwen. Then she stroked her chest and said, "You two sisters are not scary."
Gao Xiuer smiled and said: "Why is my sister worshiping the moon here? There is not even a sacrifice."
Yuan Ziyan shook his head and said, "I'm not worshiping the moon, I'm stargazing."
Xie Xiangwen suddenly became interested and asked, "Did my sister see anything?"
"Both sisters are not outsiders, let me make it clear." Yuan Ziyan pointed to the north and said, "Look, the five stars in a row over there are crape myrtle, and the red one is the emperor star. Today's Emperor
The stars are shaking, and the emperor is happy to travel. However, the crape myrtle is obscured and blind, and I am afraid that the country will be destroyed forever!"
Xie Xiangwen was shocked and said: "Sister, don't you dare say such nonsense!"
Gao Xiuer sneered secretly.
"It's our luck, how can I dare to speak nonsense?" Yuan Ziyan said sternly, "Now that we have entered the Forbidden Palace, our honor and disgrace have been tied to the emperor. The two sisters will be blessed by the emperor before the little sister. I hope that the two sisters will
Being able to remind the emperor in time to practice virtue and avoid disasters may restore Tianxin."
After hearing these words, Gao Xiuer suddenly felt as if she had fallen into a hole in the ice, and her heart was as cold as cold. She only entered the palace for revenge. If this pure and pure body was stained by that faint king, she would be dead.
You can't close your eyes either.
But Xie Xiangwen already believed it, frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the emperor won't listen to us if we speak softly."
Yuan Ziyan sighed: "Do your best and listen to fate."
Gao Xiuer had come to her senses, and suddenly her heart moved, and she asked repeatedly: "Sister Yuan family, when did you realize it?"
Yuan Ziyan pondered for a moment and said: "I saw some clues during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, but I still didn't believe it. Looking at it today, the bad luck is even worse. If this continues, it will last another ten years."
Gao Xiuer asked again: "Now that we have considered it, why do we not know how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune?"
Yuan Ziyan smiled miserably and said: "I am destined to have such a bad fate. I cannot escape the disaster, so how can I go against the will of heaven?"
Gao Xiuer originally had a glimmer of hope, but after hearing these words, she suddenly felt confused and unhappy. Yuan Ziyan and Xie Xiangwen only thought that she was worried about Sui Guozuo, but they didn't care much about it.
However, it was said that the free drinking at Li Jing's house did not disperse until nearly three o'clock in the morning. Liu Ziqiu was not sleepy anymore, so he stood in the yard and looked at the night sky. Suddenly he saw a fire rising from the east of the city, and he hurriedly woke Li Jing.
Li Jing stood up, looked at it for a while, frowned and said, "That seems to be Dongmen Street."
There were many guards in the eastern capital city, and they rose up upon hearing the police. There was a huge uproar for a while, and the commotion lasted for most of an hour, and finally calmed down.
After daybreak, Hongfu Nu came back from outside and sighed: "Medicine Master, brothers, you don't know that we got drunk last night and drank a lot, which caused more than a dozen houses in the neighborhood to be burned down."
Li Jing suddenly remembered Liu Ziqiu's advice that day, and couldn't help being shocked. He hurriedly asked: "How is the shopkeeper Wang Xiaoting who came in drunk?"
"Oh, it's so tragic." Hongfunu shook her head and sighed, "Yesterday he rushed out of the shop covered in fire. He seemed to have been poured oil on his body. The neighbors couldn't save him, and he was burned into a piece of coke in the end. It's really unbearable to die.
see."
Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but regret. If he hadn't forced himself to come forward that day, Xu Tingfu would not have come up with the five hundred taels of silver, and Wang Xiaoting would not have suffered today's disaster.
Li Jing consoled him: "Brother, you have already warned me that it is just greed that harms others. Everything has its destiny, and I can't blame you."
Three days later, the sky suddenly turned cloudy. Liu Ziqiu packed up and broke into the palace again. With the experience last time, Liu Ziqiu was much faster this time. Before the third watch, he had already arrived at the Drum Tower in the southwest corner of Qianyang Palace.
Next, a group of guards on patrol were passing by. According to his last observation, it would take a quarter of an hour for the next group of guards to appear.
After the team of guards passed by, Liu Ziqiu quickly took out his pocket flying gripper from his arms and put it on the eaves. After a few ups and downs, he had crossed Yuanbi City and arrived at Yaoyi City. There were still many palaces and pavilions here.
In the hall, there were no soldiers on duty in the courtyard, and it was much quieter than Yuanbi City.
Liu Ziqiu did not dare to be careless and kept the location of each palace in his mind. There were two palaces inside, one was called Xiuwen Hall and the other was called Guanwen Hall. There were dozens of wing rooms in each hall, and there were countless books in the rooms.
Liu Ziqiu was amazed.
There are two more platforms behind the Guanwen Hall. One is the Miaokai Platform, which contains authentic calligraphy. The other is the Treasure Relics Platform, which contains famous paintings and antiques. Each of them is a rare treasure and is priceless.
Time was tight, and Liu Ziqiu had no time to take a closer look, let alone choose one or two. After crossing the palace wall, he saw a world of its own. Compared with Yuanbi City and Yaoyi City, the buildings here are no longer magnificent, but should be described as extravagant.
.
Now that the third watch has passed, many pavilions here are still brightly lit, and you can vaguely see some women in costumes coming in and out. They must have arrived at Yang Guang's harem.
According to the judgments of Liu Ziqiu, Li Jing, and Han Shi'er, Hou Susu and a group of beautiful women should live here, and Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but get very energetic.
