Yutai Bi

Chapter 303 Son 1
Before Cen Sanniang could speak, Du Yansui hugged her into her arms and said in a low voice, "I didn't see my mother for the last time, nor did I see my grandmother for the last time."

He didn't go on talking, and held her tightly in his arms, his body trembling violently, accompanied by uncontrollable crying.

Cen Sanniang felt sweat on her forehead from the pain, she clenched her teeth to hold on, her consciousness gradually became blurred, and she passed out from the pain.

He Lu admitted his mistake very thoroughly.Said that he failed the first emperor, and asked to behead him in front of the first emperor's mausoleum.

Emperor Gaozong was greatly moved and decreed that he should not die.An imperial envoy was sent to seal Dadu as Khan.

On the basis of Anxi Duhufu, the Western Turks set up Kunling Duhufu and Genyan Dudufu and other Dudufu, bringing this large area of ​​land under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty.

Du Yansui, the original Zhengxi coach, was missing from the army of the imperial court.The news that Cai Guogong and Feng Zhong died together reached Chang'an.Gaozong sighed softly.

Outside the Meridian Gate, Cui Jidong threw down a stick with trembling hands: "Cut!"

The executioner raised his thick-backed machete and severely chopped off Cui Zhongdong's head.Feng Zhong found two handwritten letters in his arms and recognized Cui Zhongdong's handwriting.Immediately into the prison car escorted back to Chang'an.

The blood in the neck spattered three feet away.Cui Jidong's throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.Frantically, he left the prison stage, held Cui Zhongdong's head and cried loudly: "Sanlang! Sanlang!"

"Ah, it's my brother who supervised the beheading!"

"What a cruel brother!"

"Hey, for the sake of my family's future, I came to supervise and behead my younger brother. I'm not as good as a beast!"

Cui Jidong smiled, looked at Cui Zhongdong's staring eyes, snatched the executioner's sword, strangled his neck and kissed himself.

On the Jialing River, the autumn wind blew the sails, and a large ship sailed towards Longzhou.

Hey, it's almost the end.Let's update it tomorrow.

In autumn, there is no yellow leaves withered in Longzhou City, and the landscape is verdant and green.Without telling the Cen family to pick up the boat, Hei Qi went ashore first and hired a few carriages, and headed towards Teng Wang's newly moved palace.

When you drive closer, you can see countless pavilions and pavilions with red walls and cornices protruding from the trees in the mountains.Missing the narrow streets and alleys and buildings with up to two floors in Longzhou City, I just feel a bright light in front of my eyes, and the air of nobility rushes towards my face.

When you reach the palace gate, you can see the long bluestone steps when you look up, and the buildings and palaces are all hidden behind the long steps.Du Yansui couldn't help muttering: "This momentum. If you are more generous, you will speak extravagantly. If you are more narrow-minded, I am afraid that the prince's heart is too high."

Cen Sanniang secretly sighed.Words are spoken at both ends.Turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain.I can't please the emperor, and whoever wants to pick you doesn't have an opinion.She only hoped that she could pick up her son and the people in the house smoothly and leave as soon as possible.

Not long after, officials and female officials from the palace came out to welcome them, and they directly called them: "Mr. Kong and Mrs. Kong."

Du Yansui didn't even want to give up the title and family, and faked his death to go back to seclusion, so he couldn't use his original name.Su Dingfang and a few people who can play secret scriptures directly to the sky must not dare to hide from the emperor.

Emperor Gaozong withdrew his intention to copy and seal Cai Guogong's mansion.It was also decreed that although the two died, Du Yansui's son was still alive.If one day Du's son recognizes his ancestor and returns to his clan, he will still inherit the title.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this was the emperor's gratitude to Du Yansui for helping him all the way and leaving a way.Expressing his attitude generously, the emperor cared about his old feelings.If Du Yansui wanted to go back to work, it would be a narrow escape.

All the way to today, Du Yansui still sighed: "The emperor's house is kind."

If you want to disappear, I won't stop you.I will also leave all the back roads for you. If you can't get away, you will come back and be your Cai Guogong.Cen Sanniang felt that it was not bad for the emperor to be able to do this.

I took a sedan chair up the mountain and walked for more than half an hour before stopping.

"My lord is painting in the pavilion by the cliff, you two please go." The subordinate officer and the female officer stood outside a low wall and did not go in.

Du Yansui went in with Sanniang's hand, and saw a pavilion built on the edge of the cliff from a distance, with no shelter on all sides, and a huge painting table in the middle. King Teng was painting in a blue gown.

The cliff is not high, and there may be hot springs below, and a mist gushes out.There are many flowers and plants planted beside the pavilion, and the flowers bloom out of season in the warm climate.There are also a few blue nymphs flying in the middle.

"There are still butterflies in autumn?" Cen Sanniang blurted out in surprise.

Hearing the sound, King Teng put down his pen, pulled a piece of drawing paper and spread it on the table, and turned to look at the two of them: "It is this wonderful scene that made me build a painting pavilion here. It will be colder for a few more days." , it’s gone.”

His gaze fell on the hands they were clasping, and his eyebrows raised: "Mr. Kong?"

Du Yansui let go of Cen Sanniang's hand, clasped her fists in a solemn salute: "At Kong Fang, I pay my respects to the lord!"

King Teng laughed out loud, seeing Cen Sanniang covering her lips and holding back her smile, pointing at Du Yansui and shaking her head: "Since you're here, let's stay for a few days."

Cen Sanniang hurriedly said: "You guys talk, I'm going to see my son."

I have seen it, I will pick it up, and I will never set foot in Longzhou again from now on, right?King Teng thought so, but still nodded, "You go."

Cen Sanniang saluted, retreated, and was accompanied by a female officer to re-board the sedan chair.

After Cen Sanniang left, King Teng went to the side chair and sat down, and said with emotion: "You can let it go."

Du Yansui sat beside her.He knew the weight of Teng Wang's emotion.Give up the Duke of Yipin, give up the clan, even change the surname.It's fine if you don't want to be an official, but if you don't recognize your ancestors, you will shock the world.

"At that time, I just heard that my grandmother had passed away, and the emperor heard the rumors and copied the Duke's mansion. I was furious for a while." Du Yansui smiled, "Later, it was Yuchi Baoshu who rushed to speak."

He stopped, looked up at King Teng, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Sanniang is a lover of money. When he seized the Duke's mansion, he packed all the valuables and soft things into a bundle and took them away. There is food in hand, so don't panic." .It can support a son and servants. It's not bad to live a little leisurely life."

Du Yansui didn't say what Yuchi Baoshu said to make him determined to order.King Teng met his bright eyes and understood what he meant.Yuchi Baoshu, who was far away in the Western Expedition Army, was well-informed, most likely because of the old Duke Yuchi and Yuchi Baolin.I have eyes and ears in the palace, and I have an old relationship with Empress Wu.Got the news no later than Yuchi Baoshu.

Du Yansui has only been the Duke of the State for a few years, how much money can he have?They can afford to support their sons and servants, and live a leisurely life.King Teng knew that he was persuading himself.

"After the pacification of the Western Turks, the emperor was very excited. What even the late emperor failed to do, he did it in his hands. It left a strong mark in the history books. He was very happy and held a three-day feast. The head was on the wind, and it was worse than before. It's worse, and the most irritating thing is that I always get dizzy when reading memorials. Since May, the empress has entered the Xuande Hall, and she is coordinating with the newly promoted Zhongshu Ling and Shang Shuling to handle government affairs at the same time. It was May when you arrived at Yumen Pass, Yuchi The decree that Baoshu told you is the last edict drafted by the emperor himself."

Teng Wang said lightly.

really.

Du Yansui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm.Empress Wu handled affairs quickly, and the emperor, who was dazzled and couldn't see the memorial clearly, only needed to sit on the dragon chair and listen to her and Zhongshuling Shangshuling's report, and draft an imperial edict according to the above intention.After a long time, I'm afraid that the emperor will be bored and have a headache again.The government affairs were simply handled by Empress Wu and the two prime ministers directly, picking important reports.The emperor had no choice but to delegate power, but he was reluctant to have no power.I am afraid that he will be afraid of Empress Wu again.Reminds him of his loyalty.

Return to Chang'an Cai Guogong's mansion.Then, is it involved in the battle between the emperor and empress again?Du Yansui was tired.Originally, he wanted to be an idle prince to spend his days leisurely.It was obviously impossible, and he was not an ambitious person who wanted to gain a foothold in the imperial court and become famous all over the world.Naturally, he chose to escape.

I lost my mother, and then I lost my grandmother.Du Yansui didn't want to lose Cen Sanniang again.Having grown up so big, he has never lived an easy life for himself.Now there are three more sons, and he is unstable, not only implicating the clan, but also implicating Huangkou Xiaoer.Why bother?

He was thinking about something in a daze.King Teng was also thinking about something.

The two sat in silence for a while.Only then did King Teng speak to break the silence: "I have been waiting for this day."

Du Yansui was startled.What day are you waiting for?
A touch of desolation dyed the tip of King Teng's eyebrows: "You have been with this king since you were more than eight years old. You should know that I have a good relationship with Chengqian. I am his uncle, but I am much younger than him. My father passed away, and my mother The concubine also left. The crown prince treated me better than his brothers. He was my only relative... In the end, King Jin sat on the throne. Conspiracy? The crown prince was killed by the first emperor because of this. Wasn’t it conspiracy? I looked down on him. I looked down on him when I was in the Taiji Palace. After he entered the Daming Palace, I still looked down on him. I followed his wishes and helped the Wu family cut off the old officials left by the late emperor step by step. Abolished the queen who was supported by the family. I have been waiting for this day. The Wu family has finally become a queen, and the wings are gradually growing. I can give up. At this point, the Wu family will never give up power willingly for love. Let them Fight on your own. Even if you become an emperor, you can't keep it, I believe Chengqian will laugh when he looks at it under Jiuquan."

Speaking of this, King Teng laughed, and asked Du Yansui teasingly: "Did you always think that this king wanted to sit in that chair?"

Just to abolish the prince and accept Qian?Du Yansui looked at King Teng and laughed: "Okay. Isn't it just right for everyone to be happy? It's late, and I'm in a hurry to see my son. I haven't seen him since he was born."

"Go." King Teng didn't keep him either.

After Du Yansui left, King Teng got up and went to the painting table and lifted the paper covering it.In the painting, a hundred flowers are in full bloom, and nymphs and butterflies are dancing.Among the flowers is a young girl named Tingting Yuli.She bowed her head and sniffed the flowers so that people could not see her face clearly.

King Teng stared at the painting obsessively, and unnaturally thought of Wu Mei who saw him off on the Drum Tower in his mind, and also remembered the moment when the captain first met Cen Sanniang.
