Nightfall Chapter 107: Unchanging people and things

The autumn wind was blowing the yellowish leaves rolling in the courtyard. Li Qingshan raised his eyes from the fallen leaves and looked at the palace wall not far away. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and took out a white scarf to cover his lips. He coughed slightly, then carefully folded the square scarf and hid it in his sleeve.

He is a great teacher of the Tang Dynasty and has a distinguished status. He is known to be a joke in Chang'an City, but with the growth of wrinkles, he looks obviously old and silent a lot.

Thinking about the old people who died this year, Li Qingshan’s eyes showed a trace of worry. Although birth, old age, sickness and death are natural things, he still feels a little embarrassed to leave so many old people in such a short period of time. , And as the observer of the South Gate of Haotian Dao, I can't help but worry about whether this represents some kind of providence.

His Majesty the emperor in the palace seems to be healthy, but in fact his body has been worse than a year, and Xu Shi has become more and more old these two years. If their generation did not die, they would all be old, why Isn't it worrying about Datang's future?

If the Master is always there, then Datang will naturally have no problem. Even if there are some problems, they are nothing more than ripples in the pond, which can't set off any shocking waves, but the Master will always leave the day.

A butter paper umbrella rested quietly on the shiny black wooden floor.

He Mingchi knelt behind Li Qingshan, did not see the worried expression on the teacher’s face, and whispered: "The Frightening Formation is involved in the safety of the Tang Dynasty. The formation eye center has been kept by my Nanmenguan, and Master Yan Se passed it to Ning Unfortunately, Senior Brother Ning Que has been missing for a long time. It is reasonable to take it back. Even if it is to avoid suspicion, it should be returned to your Majesty. It is still placed in the academy, which seems to be inappropriate."

Li Qingshan shook his head and said: "Since the senior brother gave Ning Que, the academy temporarily takes care of it. You must remember that although we are a Taoist school, we must understand the true meaning of the academy to Datang."

He Mingchi should go down.

Li Qingshan turned around, looked at the chessboard in front of him, and stretched out his hand to gently lift a black stone in the center of the chessboard. Said: "Compared with Lanke Temple, the chess skills of a teacher are extremely ordinary, and it can even be said to be extremely bad. But if you want to see the heavens from the chessboard, I am confident that I compare one or two with the monks in Lanke Temple. I once saw a carriage blocking the Qianmo Avenue on the chessboard. I don’t know what the signs are, but now I know that that night was the beginning of Ning Que’s enlightenment. Then I can vaguely understand something. If he died, it would be fine if he didn’t die. It's really trouble for my Datang."

He Mingchi understands what the teacher meant, Ruo Ning Que and the daughter of Pluto are dead. Then the world will continue to move forward peacefully like this. If Ning Que and the daughter of Hades are still alive, what kind of attitude will the Academy have? How should Datang deal with it? Will it become the enemy of the entire world?

Li Qingshan looked at the chessboard and was silent for a long time.

The fallen leaves in the courtyard are still rolling. Make a rustling noise.

"If I am not dead when your majesty leaves, I will stand by the princess's side and support Prince Li Hunyuan's succession to the throne. If I die, I hope you can do the same with Nanmen Guan."

Li Qingshan said suddenly.

He Mingchi was taken aback and suddenly raised his head to look at the teacher.

Who inherited the imperial throne of the Tang Dynasty? No one dared to discuss things publicly in the previous years. However, as the coughing in the Imperial Study Room became more and more uncomfortable. Today's Chang'an City finally has discussions in this regard.

However, when this sentence comes out of Li Qingshan's mouth, it has a completely different meaning from the discussion on the streets of tea shops. Because this shows that, in his opinion, even if your majesty's body can support it, it won't last long.

He Mingchi was even more shocked by the choice made by the teacher. The Tang Dynasty and even the countryman knew that the queen had a very good relationship with the national teacher. In that case, why did he choose to support Li Yu?

He Mingchi immediately thought of last summer. Ning Que sent the letter back to Chang'an City from Qinghe County. At that time, Li Qingshan asked him to deliver the letter directly to the Princess, so he became more puzzled.

"Teacher...why?" He looked at Li Qingshan and asked in a daze.

Li Qingshan looked at the black chess piece that he had lifted to the corner of the chessboard, and was silent again for a long time, until the rustle in the courtyard was crushed by the autumn wind. Cai said in a deep voice, "Because the queen is the saint of the Demon Sect."

The Empress of the Tang Dynasty is the demon saint? He Mingchi's knees were directly shaken by these words, and he fell on the futon. Looking at Li Qingshan, his face was full of disbelief.

Li Qingshan laughed sadly at himself, and said, "Many years ago, I promised your Majesty that this secret will be kept in the grave. However, it is too unfair to the Tang people who don't know this secret."

He looked at his most loyal disciple and said: "Don't doubt the truth of this matter. Your majesty's old illness can't even be cured by the master because of the empress's methods."

He Mingchi trembled slightly in shock, and did not dare to answer.

"Of course, these are all things in the past. They are all things before the two of them fell in love. So I have always regretted that why have to pay so much to understand each other's hearts?"

Li Qingshan said slowly: "I believe that the queen empress will not betray your majesty, and the academy also believes, that's why she can always be the empress empress, but after your majesty's death? Li Yu and Hunyuan sister and brother are not hers. My son is still young, is it necessary for a demon saint to lead my Datang forward?"

……

……

In addition to life and death, there is also old and sickness. For court officials, old and sickness is the best reason for their resignation, although that is often not the real reason.

In the early spring of the seventeenth year of the Apocalypse, Wenyuange Scholar, Zeng Jing, suddenly resigned from office. At that time, it was not a month since Wang Shichen, the old Bachelor's death, took over, and the empress again broke her arm.

Since then, Zeng Jing's scholars and his wife have stayed away from home. According to news, the scholars retired and were relaxed. They spent the whole day growing flowers and weeding in the back garden of the Fuzhong with their wife, and they had a very leisurely life.

The academician Zeng Jing put down the flower **** in his hand, feeling a little irritated, and just opened the skirt of his clothes a little, and was excited by the cold autumn wind, he couldn't help coughing.

Mrs. Zeng Jing hurriedly helped him to sit down in the pavilion and brought out hot tea. Zeng Jing looked at his wife's haggard face and couldn't help sighing softly. She wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know where to start.

The Qiuting in Jingyuan is sparsely populated. The couple was drinking tea under the pavilion for a short break, and they were speechless. Mrs. Zeng Jing suddenly shed tears and said with a trembling, "How could the child born in my stomach be Pluto Daughter."

Listen to this. The wrinkles on Zeng Jing's face seemed to deepen, and she was silent.

They are Sangsang's biological parents, so the college did not hide the truth about the destruction of Lanke Temple.

In fact, the rumors that Sangsang is the daughter of the King of Pluto have long been circulated in countries outside the Tang realm. Even in the city of Chang'an, there are already secretly talking about Zeng Jing's resignation as a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. Naturally related to this matter. But for the time being, no one dared to point out this matter.

Ms. Zeng Jing wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, calmed her mind a little, looked at him and said: "That person is still in the front hall. You really don't want to meet?"

Zeng Jing muttered for a moment, and said with a solemn expression: "Since I come to Chang'an from Qinghe County, I must not be reconciled to seeing me. Well, then I will meet, but I have to see if they have any bad ideas. ."

……

……

Cui Mingxiu, a middle-aged scribe who is waiting for tea in the front hall of the Bachelor's House, is a powerful figure in the Cui Clan of Qinghe County. This person has another very complicated relationship with Zeng Jing.

Zeng Jing looked at this scribe, thinking about those things back then, she couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said: "The Cui Clan has always been reluctant to enter Chang'an. Brother Mingmei came all the way, why is it?"

Cui Xiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said a little displeased: "I haven't seen you for many years, don't you even want to export the word "brother-in-law"?"

Zeng Jing said: "My sister and I have reconciled 16 years ago. I really don't know where to mention the word brother."

Cui Xiuqiang grabbed his anger, and said indifferently: "Since you asked me what I came here, I will tell you clearly. My sister has never remarried since she returned to Qinghe. She has always missed you very much. The old man wants to ask what you mean." /

Zeng Jing frowned deeper and said, "What do you mean?"

Cui Xiu said: "My Cui family is willing to ignore the previous complaints and send my sister back home to reconnect with you."

Zeng Jing said angrily: "I was on the imperial list back then. I was robbed of marriage by your Cui family instigated Yushi. I admit that I was greedy for the name of the Qinghe family name. And I really wanted to live in harmony with my sister, but I don’t know that Miss Cui’s temper is so arrogant and ruthless. Although my concubine has some mistakes, but she intends to murder my poor daughter. How can this be tolerated? The front is full of previous grievances, where is there to continue? Possible!"

Cui Xiunai is an important person in the Qinghe County family. Even when he came to Chang'an, he was also a big person in the Dengxiang Mansion. Wherever he had been humiliated, he furiously scolded: "My sister saw you and that cheap maid. Her daughter is a demon, that's why she was executed. If you don’t think of her love, you still talk like this! Don’t conceal everything for a lifetime. Yes, the news that your daughter is the daughter of Hades is still blocked. , But news has come from Xiling that the temple is ready to remove her title, do you understand what it means?"

Zeng Jing’s face was as cold as frost, and when she was about to take the case, her wife rushed out from behind the curtain and cursed with tears: "Your Cui family is full of demons!"

Cui Xiu didn’t want to argue with this woman, she got up and chatted casually, and said coldly: “Looking at the general trend of the court, Prince Hunyuan will surely succeed. You will not be more than you, and you will be a lot less. This is the grandfather for you The last chance, since you don’t want to cherish it, you will stop saying that Cui is ruthless in the future."

Zeng Jinghan said: "I used to be a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the seats above the court are only below the master. With the temperament of the old man, if it were not for me to rely on, why would he condescend to surrender? Did your sister go back to the house again? Does the surname of Qinghe County think I can't even understand these?"

Cui Xiu sneered and said: "That's all, I just want to remind you that when the Xiling Temple decree to the world, hundreds of millions of Haotian believers in the world will know that your daughter is the daughter of Pluto. Then I will see you in this university. Shifu can still have a moment of quiet, to see how many Chang'an people will come to burn your house!"

Zeng Jing narrowed her eyes and said, "Are you threatening me?"

Cui Xiu said: "So what?"

Zeng Jing said angrily: "The surnames of Qinghe County are really lawless to the extreme. They dare to threaten the imperial officials in Chang'an City. Do you really think that Tang law does not exist!"

Cui Xiu sneered and said: "Tang Law? After all, there are some things in the world that Tang Law can't control."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall.

"Tang Law can't manage things, can the academy take care of it?"

(I was writing the code and suddenly there was a power outage. Fortunately, I had finished writing this chapter by then, so I tried to use high-tech and mobile phone updates, but I couldn’t figure it out. I could only go to q and catch someone to help me go to the book review area and say, I just grabbed the Butterfly Lanjun who was also staying up late in codewords or games. K song hadn’t had time to post, thank you, thank you, it’s too dangerous, I almost thought it couldn’t be updated anymore. Fortunately, the call came. The lesson I learned was, hurry up Let’s change a three-g mobile phone! Is it because I didn’t wish you a happy holiday yesterday? There is another chapter, but I’m going to lie down for a while. The third chapter should be very late, so you can sleep first. , It would be nice to get up tomorrow and watch again.)
