Empty White
The black hair has not yet reached my heart, and spring is gone and the flowers are falling.
The beginning of summer is the birthday of Princess Liang.
On this day, in the north of Chang'an, descendants of the Li family, princes and nobles, and various families came to Guanyin Zen Temple with birthday gifts...
This year, Taiji Palace prepared twice as many gifts, which the emperor personally reviewed, and the Li family emperor served as an envoy.
As dusk fell and the moon rose above the willows, the emperor hurried to Guanyin Temple with a small entourage.
After Xiaohan, Emperor Li only wore the emperor's clothes, Your Majesty no longer wore Taoist robes, and the emperor no longer respected Taoism.
Zhaoyang was often ill, so the princess often stayed with her mother in Guanyin Zen Temple. Every few days, Huayang, Anyang and I would go to visit her.
The Princess of Liang lived alone and lonely, and Li Wanwan and Li Mimi served as her slaves, and I followed her as well.
Princess Himehime of Liang loved and cherished her. When Himehime died young, Guanyin Temple was in great sorrow, and Princess Liang felt sorry for her.
The blood in the palace is endless, and the snow in the imperial court is too cold.
The princess of Liang was tired of palace coups and became a nun at a young age.
In the Li family, no matter who sits in the Mingtang, no matter who sits on the throne, no matter who is the emperor, the Princess of Liang does not care.
Even if dynasties changed, even if the royal family changed surnames, Liang State was not afraid, and the princess did not care.
In the Heavenly Family, no matter who ascends the throne and becomes emperor, no matter who sits firmly on the throne, no matter who becomes the ruler of all people, all must respect and serve the Lord, in order to demonstrate literary virtue and benevolence.
The Kingdom of Liang is a country with no king, no men, and no descendants. Therefore, we are not afraid of the emperor, nor do we need to please him, nor do we give his majesty the emperor a good look.
"The Emperor is not a benevolent ruler. Taiji Palace is not a good place to stay. Henu is a cold-hearted and ungrateful person. Yongle Palace is even less of a good place to stay."
The Princess of Liang warned me again and again, and every word of it is engraved in my heart.
I was plotting treason and regicide, but the princess only said, "The emperor is lawless, and you are just worried about your sister."
The Princess of Liang is willing to go against the king's wishes and protect me.
"The Emperor is neither a good king nor a good husband."
Zhaoyang died young, and the censors made suggestions and the princess also complained.
He Nu has never been a benevolent king.
The wisdom, benevolence and filial piety of the current emperor are nothing but flattery by his group of sycophants.
I fled to Guanyin Temple to avoid disaster. Since I entered the temple, the tyrant emperor has visited me several times.
When the emperor arrived, the princess refused to let him enter the temple.
Day after day, until the ancestor's birthday, the princess finally allowed the emperor to enter the temple.
The princess invited the emperor to come in person.
The Li family ancestor scolded his descendants, and I was there.
"Ever since the Eastern Palace became the emperor, I haven't seen the new emperor in my Guanyin Temple..."
The Princess of Liang laughed sarcastically.
"I will remember your teachings, Princess. From now on, I will pay my respects to you in person every day."
"I serve you on the princess' orders."
The emperor "repented", but the princess sneered at him.
"You are the Son of Heaven. The political affairs of the world and the military and national affairs are of paramount importance. The emperor's thoughts should not be on my old Guanyin Temple..."
The Princess of Liang stood up to drive the guests away, and I followed her.
The emperor said nothing, he knelt down and kowtowed again and again.
The tyrant's eyes were red from crying, and he looked extremely pitiful. I didn't look at him. I turned my head to look at the princess, for I was afraid that the princess would look unhappy.
He looked at me and said only one sentence.
"I...will never...obey...your order..."
I didn't hear what you said.
He spoke slowly, word by word, and I read slowly, word by word.
The emperor is reckless.
This... tyrant will never forgive me and let me go. Even though I was heartbroken, I turned around, pulled my dress back as usual, and ignored him.
The Princess of Liang sighed.
She is merciless, she is not soft-hearted, she will never side with the emperor, she is sighing for me.
She was afraid that the emperor would bow down to her, and she was afraid that I would forget my hatred and fall in love with her.
At that time, the sky was full of stars and the gates of Chang'an were closed. Eunuch Zhu pleaded on behalf of the emperor, and they requested to stay overnight at Guanyin Temple.
"There is a palace outside the city, let's go!"
The princess of Liang ordered the guests to leave, and the emperor had to go.
After the summer, the incompetent emperor often lived in a palace outside the city. The emperor did not rule the world and the emperor ignored the imperial court.
The monarch is extremely extravagant. Civil and military officials have not yet dismissed their attendance, and the emperor has not attended court every day.
He left behind all the civil and military officials, and he abandoned his country and his people.
Just as the emperor said, in order to show his reputation for benevolence and filial piety, he went to Guanyin Temple every day regardless of rain or shine.
Fortunately, the Princess of Liang would never allow the emperor to set foot in her Guanyin Temple.
I remember it was the first day of June.
That afternoon, the princess was resting. I was wrapped in the Buddhist beads the princess gave me, and with the Buddhist scriptures I couldn't understand as my pillow, I fell asleep on the desk.
"A tyrant!"
I cried and cursed in my dream.
That day, I woke up from a dream in the afternoon and cried and cursed the tyrant emperor.
Touching the Buddhist beads, rolling up the Buddhist scriptures... turning my forehead and looking up, I woke up from the dream, and was startled again after waking up.
On that day, at that moment, the Emperor of the Li family, the tyrant whom I cursed in my dream, was in my room. He looked at me with surprise and astonishment.
He was stunned and surprised, and I was frightened and angry.
Soon, the emperor put away his surprise and astonishment, but for a moment, I still looked on indifferently.
The princess of Liang was asleep, and no one in Guanyin Temple dared to stop the emperor. The emperor came into my room, but he was not silent, it was just that I didn't hear or see anything.
There is a basket of apricots on my desk.
"The summer apricots in the palace are ripe. I love them and I'm sending them to you to try first."
These words were written on the brocade handkerchief, and they were written by the emperor.
I picked up an apricot, this bright yellow apricot, it originally belonged to me.
The tyrant emperor stole my apricot forest. Yan's forest became Li's forest, and mine became his. He picked the apricots in my forest and gave them to me as a gift.
I glared at him angrily.
But he was laughing, he was grinning like a scoundrel with an emperor's face, laughing provocatively, without any disguise.
I stood up trembling and angrily overturned the basket of apricots.
Because of this small apricot, my heart meridian was severely damaged. I was so angry that I vomited blood.
He was provocative and frivolous, he did it on purpose, he did it deliberately, he was taking revenge on me.
He laughed, he was still laughing, he laughed until he couldn't breathe.
When the Princess of Liang arrived, the Emperor laughed so hard that he nearly lost his life. I almost strangled him to death.
I was so angry that I couldn't breathe. My bleeding wouldn't stop, mouthful after mouthful, staining the apricots scattered on the ground red.
The king is everlasting, and the heartless never grows old.
The princess drove the emperor out of Guanyin Temple.
The medicine was forced into my heart and lungs mouthful after mouthful, and only then was my life saved.
After that day, regardless of right or wrong, I have a knife hidden in my sleeve. If he breaks into my way again, I will make him pay with blood.
On the Ghost Festival, His Majesty came to the temple but did not enter, and then returned.
After the emperor left, the sky gradually darkened.
I was in the room, lighting lamps, one after another, one after another.
The door was pushed open and the wind blew in. It was a human, not a ghost, but a living person, clumsy and flustered.
In Jingzhao, among all the people in the world, only that tyrant emperor dared to...
I put down the lamp without turning around, because I knew that this person was not the current emperor.
Whoever dares to trespass into Guanyin Temple will be killed by me.
When he got closer, I took out the sword from my sleeve, turned around and stabbed him in the stomach.
I looked up and saw that the person coming was...King Wei.
The King of Wei fell to the ground.
"Goro..."
I caught him, King Wei fell to the ground, and I knelt on the ground.
The King of Wei was covered in blood. He had many arrow wounds all over his body, but none of the arrows were fatal. It was not because the archer was not skilled in archery... The arrows that hurt him were the emperor's feathered arrows, and the person who shot the King of Wei was the emperor of the time.
The sky is clear yellow and the summer is dead silent.
The wind blows out the lights, and blood fills the place.
The remaining light from the sky and the blowing wind were blocked by the Emperor's body.
The sky was half dark, and the fire was swaying from side to side. I looked at Henu, and Henu looked at me, neither of them cared about the dying Li Wulang.
The sage wore a jade crown, his hair tied up, bow drawn and sword in hand, and with a hint of a smile on his face, he strolled along, chasing after the King of Wei...
