In early autumn, the Daming Palace in the north of Chang'an City stands peacefully among the still dense ancient trees. Hundreds or even nearly a thousand years of growth have made these ancient trees extremely strong and tall, but they still cannot cover up the grandeur of the palace complex.
Suppressing the solemn atmosphere of the political center of the world.
The most beautiful part of the palace is the Qingsi Hall. Looking from the rear railing to the back mountain, you can see that after a few autumn winds, the withered leaves are gradually falling, and the green color is beginning to be mixed with bright light yellow and light red. It is indescribable.
Bright and moving.
Li Zhongyi, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty with a handsome face, gently held the queen's soft hand, looked at the early autumn scenery in the mountains in front of the palace, and sighed softly: "It takes thousands of years of wind and rain for trees to reach the sky. The founding of the Tang Dynasty has gone through countless events for thousands of years."
During the war, countless famous generals and good ministers and warriors were sacrificed to achieve the respected status they are today. Back then, Peiyan actually sacrificed the people of the Tang Dynasty and even generals for the sake of those Taoist priests in Xiling. I'm afraid he never thought about how unexpected it would be in the eyes of those Taoist priests to do so.
If I, the Tang Dynasty, cannot resist external pressure and sacrifice ministers at will, then what qualifications does such a Tang Dynasty have to make the world tremble? How can I not care as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
The Queen handed him back the letter from Xiling in her hand, and leaned against him gently. Her beautiful brows and eyes naturally showed a charming and gentle feeling, and she persuaded him in a low voice: "It's all in the past, why bother yourself, Your Majesty?"
.”
"The deceased ministers of the Tang Dynasty are still my ministers. If he is not my biological brother, if he is not..." The emperor looked at the queen with deep meaning and said, "How could I just spare them."
The queen knew what he wanted to say in the second sentence, so she stood up straight slowly, looked calmly at the old trees in the bright autumn mountains outside the fence, and said: "Back then, His Majesty traveled to Nanze, and His Royal Highness received a letter from Master Haotian.
I'm afraid it's a bit tricky, after all, Zhi Shou Guan finally broke the silence and spoke, who in this world can be sure whether the omens revealed in the seven volumes of heavenly books exist?"
After a long silence, the emperor slowly responded: "When I was studying in the academy when I was a child, Master once taught me that for things that are temporarily incomprehensible, you should admit their existence and ignore them, because if you don't even understand the things in the world,
Once you understand it, why bother thinking about things in the underworld in vain?"
"Legends are just legends after all. In the year when he ascended the throne, the three people from the unknown place traveled to the wilderness, but there was no clue at all. If there were clear instructions in the seven volumes of the heavenly book, why couldn't even those figures be found?
?In this case, what happened next was just the reckless behavior of those magicians in panic."
"As for you saying that the emperor's younger brother might have been frightened back then, it is indeed possible, but he still made the most fatal mistake. He grew up under my wings since he was a child, so he was unable to clearly understand what I, the Tang Dynasty, had to do.
Being able to sweep the world, being able to ignore the Xiling Temple, and not even caring about the pressure from Zhishou Temple and Xuankong Temple, in addition to having a strong national power and the protection of the academy, more importantly... the Tang Dynasty never compromised."
His Majesty the Emperor sometimes calls himself "I" and sometimes "me" because every sentence he speaks refers to a different direction. The Queen looked at his familiar face quietly and noticed that he deliberately did not mention any name.
Said: "It's not that I want to speak for His Highness the Prince, but this matter involves too much and too deep for him to be careless."
"To be cautious for the sake of an illusory legend, to sacrifice the lives of innocent ministers and common people for the sake of a disaster that may or may not happen..." His Majesty the Emperor slowly frowned, then laughed at himself and sighed: "I can appreciate it.
Many people are suffering from stress, and they have this reason for not being able to move over the years.”
The Queen lowered her head slightly, suppressed the emotion in her heart, and said softly: "I have made things difficult for Your Majesty."
"I am the lord of the world, so what does it matter if I endure some idleness and accept some criticism for my woman?"
The emperor laughed loudly and took her into his arms. He raised his arms and pointed at the gradually dyed autumn mountains in front of the palace, and said: "There are many constraints in this country now. I, the Tang cavalry, have been recuperating for many years. If I had known that the seven volumes of heavenly books in the temple would come true,
, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. When the time comes, I will lead thousands of men in the empire to push the territory of my Tang Empire to the other side of the world. At that time, I will go with you to the mythical Palace of Bones to see the autumn scenery again.
If you write another exquisite and good article to commemorate the ancestors of my Li family, it will be considered as fulfilling your master's ambition for thousands of years."
The queen looked at the man's familiar profile, thinking about how he had loved and protected her over the years. Her eyes were full of admiration and love, and she said in a quiet voice: "Your Majesty is very ambitious, I like him very much."
"It is said that fish jump out of the sea at this time, but no matter how wide the ocean is, it is always bound by the coast. How can it accommodate the grand ambitions of me and the empire for thousands of years? So why can't our eyes be set higher and wider without boundaries?
in the sky?”
When the queen heard this, she thought of the scenes she often saw in the royal study these days. She couldn't help but raise her sleeves to cover her lips and chuckle. She rolled her eyes slightly and added: "The flowers are blooming on the other side of the sky? It seems that your majesty is really in love."
That calligraphy, so to speak, if the Tang Empire can really open up new territories under the leadership of His Majesty in the future, when he writes a memorial to the ancestors of the dynasty, he will have to invite the calligrapher to come out and copy it.
That’s it.”
"That day, I wanted to give Chao Xiaoshu the words "Fish leaps into the sea at this time", but I didn't expect that this guy had to leave. At that time, I was inevitably a little upset, but at that time I saw the calligrapher writing for me.
The last five characters of.”
The emperor lowered his head and kissed her gently on the face, then said with a smile: "These five words are enough to broaden the emperor's mind. The calligrapher knows me very well. If I can find him, I will definitely reward him heavily."
The queen looked at him interestingly and said with a smile: "How do you plan to reward him if you find that person? Could it be that he is invited to the Imperial Book Pavilion to be a minister? In my opinion, the calligrapher can only guess that
Your Majesty, you are not willing to live a busy life in the Ci Pavilion, so you have been refusing to show up."
The emperor thought that this possibility was indeed possible, and said angrily: "It's strange to say that I took the calligraphy and asked several great scholars in the court, but no one could see some clues from the strokes of the pen. I also sent
Many people went to the big studies in Chang'an City to quietly search, but still found nothing. I really don't know where that person is hiding now. When I think of that person, he may be a certain official in the court. Now he sees me in court every day.
He was secretly making fun of me because I was so full of complaints that I wanted to pull him out and chop his head off right away."
"Your Majesty spends every day in the royal study room carefully reading and copying the five characters. It can be said that he can't put it down. If you really find the calligrapher, I don't believe you are willing to chop off his head." The queen said with a smile.
