Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 299 Epilogue
Not long after the death of Empress Zhenjing, Mo Wen, the famous merchant who was deposed by her, became active again, traveling around, relying on Taizong's favor, repeatedly criticizing the government, exposing the current ills, and reporting corruption.However, Shizu took a western domain medicine within a year after the death of Empress Huaxi, and his body was not only healthy as usual, but also vigorous and sexually interesting. It is said that there are many beautiful women in the palace. In the family's injustice case, the ancestors secretly declared Jun Mo Wen to go to Beijing several times, but the king always resisted the order.

In the first year of Daye, Jun's mansion in the south of the Yangtze River happened to pass by a beggar. Although the man was dressed in rags, he was seven feet long and had an imposing appearance. His left leg seemed to have been bitten off by a wild animal, and his right leg was intact. His body was scarred, his left side was destroyed, his left hand lost three fingers, and only his left little finger wore a mutilated multicolored ring.The family saw that he seemed to be Qi Zhongshu, the general manager of the Jun family who was buried in a foreign country back then. Jun Mowen wept with joy, but asked him about his life and past, but they didn't remember it.Jun Mowen took him with him, never left him, and ordered his wife Bu Shi to take care of him, and gradually improved, but he still remembered less and forgot more, his eyes were sad, and he dreamed back at midnight, often dreaming about "Qing Mei" two times. Words, Bu Shiwei wept secretly.

Feidu Khan is Taizong's greatest enemy in his life. His real name is Ashina Saruer. He is only 25 years old and ruled the Eastern and Western Turks. He grew up in the East Court and dominated one side. If you resist, you will not stay behind, and the vassal states will complain and make decisions.

Only the Yuan Dynasty resisted it. In the sixth year of the great cause, the Khan of Feidu attacked Yumen Pass again.Khan lost his trace, and it was rumored that he was rescued by the secret sect of Buddhism in the Western Regions, so he became an eminent monk and traveled all over the world.This battle consumed countless elites, food, and horses from each other, and wailed everywhere. The two countries left countless widows and orphans, and the Turks were no longer able to go south.And Dayuan Mingyu Feiyan died in battle, and Ma Ge returned with his body shrouded.Emperor Taizong was also seriously injured, and died in the Chongyuan Palace a year after returning to the palace. He was 45 years old, leaving behind three sons and a daughter, but none of them lived past the age of 20. It was rumored that he was secretly poisoned by the purple-eyed concubine Jintai in the harem. kill.

After Shizu died in the Battle of Xiaoyin Mountain, the imperial concubine Jin Tai took the opportunity to return to Ziqi Palace, embraced Yuan Feiliu, was called Zhenzong in history, and changed her reign name to Xingming.Zhenzong honored the imperial concubine as the empress dowager of Zhaohua. The empress dowager took advantage of this to dominate the government and listened to the government behind the curtain for ten years, often making excuses. They all closed their doors and were in danger, and Zhenzong was also afraid of it, so he found an excuse to escape from Chang'an and hide in Dali.At that time, only Nanjia County King Song Chongyang pretended to be insane to escape the slaughter of Queen Mother Zhaohua, but he could not escape the humiliation.It can be said that the Hua family and its followers dominate the world for a while, fulfilling their childhood prophecy.

In the third year of Xingming, the Empress Dowager wanted to change the name of the country to Ming, and named herself Empress.Zhenzong Yuanjing, who has been recovering from his illness in Dali, raised the banner of rebellion with the help of Queen Yonglie of Dali, united with Nanjia County King Song Chongyang, Xiyi and other loyal and brave Duke Yuhu, and ordered the world to oppose Hua's atrocities, broke Chang'an in one fell swoop, and bestowed death Empress Dowager Hua, Zhenzong changed his reign name to Shengping.In the fifth year of Zhenzong's Shengping period, Dayuan reached the peak of prosperity, known as "Shengping Dazhi" in history.And the Yu family has been loyal and good for generations, and they must run for the country when there is something on the border, because the Yu family guarded the border and made an indelible contribution to the prosperity and peace of the Yuan Dynasty. Yu Tu, the youngest daughter of Yu Feiyan, later became Daizong's head The main room, known as Empress Rongxi in history.

In the fifth year of Zhenzong Shengping, he rehabilitated Zhaoxue for the big treason case of the Ming family in the previous dynasty. Later generations can also see the sun and serve the new emperor.

After the Battle of Xiaoyin Mountain, Amir Yehu and his ministers embraced the prince Muyin, who was exiled in Dali, and returned to Turkic to ascend the throne. He was known as Muyin Khan in history.Khan is brave and resolute, and he has a lot of his father's legacy. He has a clear and bright government, and is committed to friendly trade with countries along the Silk Road, making the people rich and generous.One day, Khan looked through the poems of the former kings, and saw that the words and sentences in the second volume were exquisite, but a page was torn out, and he asked the left and right angrily, "Who dares to destroy the relics of the late emperor?"

Yehu Amir knelt down and said: "This is what the late king did on the night of his expedition to Xiaoyin Mountain. The page left behind is exactly the "Sapphire Case" that the late king liked most."

Amir told Muyin about the old affairs between the late emperor, Queen Zhenjing, and Princess Anhe, saying that the original had been destroyed by Xian Khan, and that this was a copy, and silently wrote the "Sapphire Case" for the emperor.After hearing this, Mu Yin reread the "Sapphire Case" several times, and stayed up all night. The next day, he sent an envoy to the Yuan Dynasty to ask for a marriage, so as to repair the reconciliation.

Amir posthumously conferred the title of his mother, Princess Reyhan Guli, and became the Empress Dowager of the Great Sage Gupudli. In the third year of Shengping, she went to the Yuan Dynasty to mourn the Queen Mother in person. In front of the Taimiao (for the second time), blood was sworn to form an alliance, and an edict was issued to the world that the Turks and the Great Yuan are brothers and neighbors and will never violate the territory.Praise the world.Since then, the two countries have exchanged documents peacefully and achieved peace for 60 years.According to history, the Empress Dowager returned to her homeland in her later years, and when she was about to die, Empress Zhenjing mourned unceasingly. At that time, the Empress Dowager could not see anything, so she held the Queen's hand tightly and said: "I am really tired, remember to send my concubine back to my homeland, and don't condemn me again." It ended up laughing.

In the third year of Shengping, Zhenzong selected Zong's daughter as the princess and sent her to Heshuo. On the way back to Beijing, he passed by Famen Temple.Xie Suhui, fellow Qinzhong Gong, felt that this monk's eyebrows and eyes were familiar, his wine eyes were like blood, and he was actually like the Turkic emperor Saruer II. The monk called himself Alai Shiye, smiled faintly at the emperor, and hid himself among the hibiscus flowers. middle.

During the period when the Empress Dowager Zhaohua listened to the government behind the curtain, the second large-scale literary inquisition of the Dayuan Dynasty was carried out, and a large number of "Entrepreneurial Living Notes" and records of political leaders in the Yuande and Daye years were burned. The historical records of "Jintuo Yibian", which distorted a lot of historical facts, added a lot of evidence of the ancestors' persecution of the Queen Mother Zhaohua and Zhenzong. important information.

The legend of Xiao Wuyi became the most colorful stroke in the founding history of the Yuan Dynasty.Out of this little Wuyi came out a queen dowager who almost became the emperor, a Turkic queen dowager, a queen with mixed reviews, a shocking general on the battlefield, and a prince who almost overthrew the Dayuan Dynasty with all his tactics.There are beauties, loyal ministers, virgins, fierce generals, and traitors, vividly interpreting the customs from Yuanqing to Shengping, and Queen Zhenjing is the most controversial one.The queen died at the age of 30, but there are many legends about her. According to historical evaluation, some people say that she is the most virtuous woman in history, some people say that she is the most beautiful woman in history, and some people say that she is a traitorous concubine who uses power.

"Jintuo Relics" especially mentions a large number of deeds about Empress Zhenjing and Jun Mowen, a wealthy businessman at that time. Interestingly, the two must be mentioned at the same time in the text, which shows the unusual relationship between the two. Obscure, but seemingly extraordinary respect.The official history states that Empress Zhenjing was protected by Dali Yishang Jun Mowen during the eight years of the Gengxu Rebellion, not only saved her life, but also preserved her chastity. Many schools believe that Queen Zhenjing was actually Jun Mowen’s concubine .However, the historians who studied the "Jintuo Relics" at the same time had another bolder speculation. The other identity of Queen Zhenjing was Jun Mowen, and the one who really protected Queen Zhenjing was Duan Yuerong, Emperor Shengwu of Dali.

However, whether it is the era of Emperor Taizong, Empress Zhenjing, merchant Jun Mowen, or Xiao Wuyi, it is gone forever, and because of the empress dowager Zhaohua's literary inquisition, even if there is "Jin Tuo Yibian" , but later generations considered it to be unofficial history, Xiao Wuyi and his deeds have been difficult to study, and the only things that have been handed down to the world are the manuscripts of the two Huaxi poetry collections that Jun Mowen loves to read, and Jun's low-key behavior But the mysterious plutocrats all over the world are passed down from generation to generation, silently and closely linked with the constant ups and downs of the Han family and the Southern Kingdom.

"Jintuo Relics" mentioned that on the day of the death of the great ancestor six years ago, there was a flood from the sky, and the Yellow River burst its embankment, drowning countless people. The evildoer will be reborn.At that time, Dayuan had just ended the Turkic War, its national strength was weak, and its treasury was empty. Due to the influence of civil forces and the lobbying of the big chaebol headed by the Jun family, Dali first extended a helping hand and resumed trade with Dayuan.

The Jun family devoted all their wealth to the merchants of Dayuan and Dali to donate grain and cloth, saving countless people in Dayuan.However, Jun Mowen adopts hundreds of orphans, widows and old people. It is just at the junction of the two countries, Yibin at the mouth of the Yellow River. According to folklore, Jun Mowen, Mrs. Zitong, was washed into the Yellow River in order to save the children who fell into the water. His body washed ashore later.Jun Mowen hugged his corpse tightly for three days, sat under the hibiscus tree and wept endlessly. He sometimes called out Yuerong in pain, and sometimes called Chaozhu.The people with a radius of hundreds of miles were all touched by Jun's righteous deed, and spontaneously went to the shrine and Buddhist temple to pray for Mrs. Zitong.

There are rumors that Jun Mowen just sat under the hibiscus tree and cried to death. Some people say that Jun Mowen jumped into the Yellow River with his wife's body in his arms. Some people say that Jun Mowen went crazy and wandered among the people, never to be found again.There is also a adopted son of Jun Mowen who said that because of the piety of Jun Mowen and the people, he saw with his own eyes the purple light on Jun Mowen's chest, and the purple-eyed Mrs. Chaozhu came back to life. fairy.

There was once Tian Dou, a disciple of Jun Mo Wen, who was as high as the left minister of Dali. When he retired to the countryside in his later years, he sorted out the conversations between his teacher and his relatives and friends, and compiled the name "Jun's Daily Life Notes". Tian Dou narrated in the last article, which is exactly Jun Mo Wen On the eve of farewell to my wife in Yibin, the last conversation during the night of holding candles was a passage in vernacular that Jun Mowen read to Mrs. Chaozhu:

I tell my soul,
calm,

Hold no, any loving waiting,

for our beloved,
Possibly a false frenzy.

But we still have faith,
Though faith, love, and hope,

are still just waiting,
However, maybe,

Darkness will become light,
Silence will become dance.
