Chapter 60 Who will stay for the wind and dew? (1)

Green Tang is not a Tang, but a love affair.

The family is happy; the five years of seeds, the sails in June; thousands of red hairs whisper the clouds, who will be the wind and dew that will last the night?

As soon as I entered Dongyi Kingdom, there were acacia trees on both sides of the street, which were taller than five or six people stacked together. It was the flower season. When the breeze blew, the red pink flowers like sails swayed on the trees, as if we were welcoming guests warmly.

Xilan originally wanted to enter the city with a low profile, but unfortunately there was no pass certificate. After reporting her origin from the soldiers guarding the city, a carriage came to pick her up to the imperial city.

After driving for three days, we kept working without stopping.There are endless trees along the way, and wherever you see, they are all pink.

It seems that Empress Xiao likes Hehuanhua, dares to ask, how many years has it been in Dongyi now?

The coachman replied: The year name has been changed long ago, no longer called Dongyi, but has been changed to Qingtang. In order to mourn the heroes of the founding of the country, it is now the fourth year of Qingtang.

Four years of Qingtang?

The Dongyi Kingdom has been established for more than a hundred years. It is far away from the disputes in the Central Plains and is in a corner. After twenty-six emperors, the thrones alternate frequently.

Until the third year of Dongyi, when Prince Tsang Mun changed his mutiny to seize the palace. Xiao Qian, who was demoted to the fiefdom with his son, received the order to serve the king and took the plan, took the army into the imperial city, finished the emperor, killed Prince Tsang, and supported his son to ascend the throne in one fell swoop. His methods were so fast that when other prince Tsang troops arrived, the country had already changed hands. Their only choice was to hand over the military talisman and bow down to his subordinates.

On this day, Xiao Qian was designated as the first year of Qingtang. It was also from this day that the situation of the internal division of Dongyi ended. The military power returned to the hands of the emperor and the world returned to the hearts of the people. The Dongyi Kingdom rarely won long-term stability and prosperity.

Xilan was sleepy since childhood, and his ears and ears could not see the Dongyi, so he did not know that the water in the country was shallow. However, when he passed the city, he saw that the brick roads in the city were extremely clean, with men and women, and even more women on the streets. Wherever he saw, there was no brothel in the prosperous place. After asking, he found out that Empress Dowager Xiao did not allow Dongyi to open brothels. Not only that, no matter how high or low a man was, a man could only marry one woman, and three wives and four concubines would be deprived of his family property and sent to work as mining laborers. The carriage passed by the academy, and it was lunch time, and the students of the academy talked and laughed. When they looked closely, there were still quite a few female students. Wherever the sun shone, there were laughter and joy. The girls wore men's short clothes, laughing and chasing the streets and alleys, and Cuju rolled forward like a wind under their feet.

This is... a fairyland?Xilan couldn't believe her eyes.

What kind of fairyland is all the blessing of the empress dowager. The scholars of the geography said that the right way to understand things is to study things. For example, the sky is round or the sky is round. You have to see it with your own eyes before you know it. You cannot rely entirely on conjectures. All gods and ghosts are fabricated by people themselves. I asked me to say that Empress Dowager Xiao is a real living god. Since her new policy, not only has the tax been reduced, but also the young and old women in the family can go out to work and make money. Isn’t this life getting better and better?

Alas... It's a pity that good people will not be rewarded... Speaking of this, the coachman frowned and sympathized. The emperor was about to win the imperial examination and was about to take over the government. Unexpectedly, he fell into the river during a private visit and drowned.The corpse was searched for two days, and after being caught, it was a terrible sight. The empress dowager came to the river bank in person and cried so miserably. Although it was a royal family, she was also an ordinary mother. The pain of losing her son was the only one in the world. The women who were already mothers on the watch couldn't help crying when they saw her insanity.

Your emperor...is gone?When did it happen?

Just the day before the ceremony, from today, three days ago.

It was a coincidence that he died on the eve of the ceremony.

Xi Lan, who felt that this matter was not simple, had the idea of ​​leaving Dongyi in her heart, and then she suppressed her thoughts. Even if Dong Zhou and the other two were not worth it, what's the soldiers?

They are the most loyal people of the Mu Dynasty. She cannot abandon these people and will not let them become chess pieces that Dong Zhou can satisfy his selfishness.

The carriage drove onto the official road, the wind passed through the grass tip, and the curtains that blew open the windows, passing Xilan's resolute eyes.

She made up her mind that no matter how difficult this trip was, even if she pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, she would try it hard.

The territory of Dongyi is far less than that of the Central Plains, and it doesn’t take long to arrive at the imperial city.

Empress Dowager Xiao, who had learned from the pigeon early in the morning, was waiting to greet him at the palace gate.

At that time, white spiritual banners were hanging everywhere outside the palace gate, which were dazzling and conspicuous.It seems that what the coachman said is true. Gongzi Kuan, the son of Empress Dowager Xiao, of Dongyi, has indeed passed away.

Have met Empress Xiao.

The woman in front of her was about forty years old. She was wearing a mourning robe but could not stop the grace and luxury in her bones. Her eyebrows and expressions were obviously very friendly and kind, but her every move and gesture inexplicably gave people a sense of oppression.

When she walked towards her, Xilan felt that it was a mountain and a sky pressing towards her, and her breathing was not smooth in an instant.

The Shuyang Princess does not need to perform this great gift.When Xi Lan wanted to kneel down, Empress Dowager Xiao held her, patted her hand, and smiled, "Her daughter can't be a cartilage."

Xilan was shocked: The Queen Mother recognizes my mother?

Your mother?Empress Mu Chao Gao?I don't recognize it.I only recognize my sister playmate Qingtang since childhood.

Qingtang... The hero of the Dongyi country established by the coachman?

Xilan was not interested in things other than her target. She was held hands for a while and was about to walk into the Dongyi Palace. She shook the other party's hand and said bluntly: Please ask Empress Xiao to release my Mu Chao soldiers.

What if I don’t let it go?

Empress Xiao used her self-proclaimed when she was in power behind the curtain, which shows that she did not like her request.Xilan was not afraid and insisted on asking her to release her.

Give me a reason to let someone go.

Although there are not many tens of thousands of people, it will not benefit the Dongyi after being imprisoned for a long time. Not only will you waste your food, but you will also waste manpower to take care of them. It is really inconvenient.

Who told you that I was imprisoning them?

Xilan was confused. Empress Xiao smiled, turned around and waved her sleeves, and asked her: What have you seen along the way?

The people are harmonious and peaceful.Xilan answered truthfully.

Among them, there are also tens of thousands of soldiers from Mu Chao.

Xilan was surprised.

I placed them in a newly built city, so that they could farm and stockpile grain and be self-sufficient.

Why?Why do you do this?Xilan was puzzled.

I've been waiting for you, we're all waiting for you.

He was introduced into the central palace, and an incense table was placed in an abnormal direction in the direction of the door. There were tablets enshrined on the pine wood. The year of birth and death was engraved, and Zhengyang wrote the spiritual position of the brave general Qingtang Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan... When she saw her mother's name, Xi Lan pretended to be calm and disappeared. She rushed over, picked up the tablet and looked at it again and again, questioning why the tablet of her mother was placed in the palace of Empress Xiao.

The mother separated from me... She calmed down and guessed it was probably because Beiyuan rebelled seven years ago, and she protected me out of the palace but scattered with me. No wonder I couldn't find my mother's whereabouts in Beiyuan. She came to you!When she touched the tablet with her hand, her mind was instantly confused. Since she fled to you and you were extremely powerful, why did she still become this tablet?My mother did not die in her hometown, but died in a foreign land!

Qingtang's four years... Qingtang's four years... She actually left for four years?

She had obviously no hope for her mother to be alive, but when she knew that she had just left four years ago, she couldn't help but be angry that they didn't tell her earlier.

Why not look for me?If I had been looking for me earlier... why wouldn't I... not one of them knows me!

So what if you find you?Can you have any means than me who had a fief at that time?Empress Dowager Xiao poured a basin of cold water, which wiped out Xi Lan's delusion.
