Chapter 511 Shangxian
The ape shook his head, and the eunuch without a beard subconsciously asked, "What a pity?"
The ape man glanced at him, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "The number of days is unpredictable, and it cannot be revealed,
Why don’t I tell you a story and what I can learn from it depends on you.”
"Listen to the story? I like it."
Bai Yongyan rubbed his palms and moved the position forward a few points.
"One day, the Wei Wei Xin Gongping of Gao'an County, Hongzhou, and Cheng Shilian, went to Chang'an to accept the appointment. It happened that heavy rain fell, so he took shelter from Yulin Store in Luoxi."
The ape man said quietly: "The two met a green-clothed passenger in a simple inn. This man called himself Wang Zhen, with quick thinking and extraordinary conversation. He was respected by Xin and Cheng.
After drinking for three rounds, Wang Zhen claimed that he had the ability to predict.
He opened his mouth and told him where Xin Gongping and Cheng Shilian would stay tomorrow, as well as the food they were about to eat.
He also claimed that he could only travel at night and could not accompany the two of them tomorrow.
Xin and Cheng looked at each other and smiled, but naturally they didn't believe it. The next day they left the inn and continued on their way. Sure enough, they stayed at the place Wang Zhen said, and the food they ate was exactly the same as what Wang Zhen said. The two were very surprised.
That night, Wang Zhen appeared and the three of them walked to Shixiang at night. Wang Zhen asked whether they had guessed his identity. Xin Gongping guessed that he was a master living in seclusion.
But Wang Zhen shook his head and denied it, saying that he was a secret official to welcome the driver."
The secret official welcomes the emperor?
The faces of the guests changed slightly,
Yu Qingqiu's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened and he stared at the ape man.
However, the ape seemed to have not noticed the murderous intent at all, and was still telling the story without any haste.
"Xin Gongping asked Wang Zhen if he was the only one who welcomed the driver. Wang Zhen shook his head and said that there were five hundred armored horses and one general, just in this wilderness, surrounded by three people, but Xin Gongping and Cheng Shilian could not see it.
At dawn, Wang Zhen said goodbye to the two again.
When he arrived in Huayin, he appeared again, bringing a feast of rich wine and meat for the two, and sincerely invited Xin Gongping to visit the scene of His Majesty's immortality.
Xin agreed fairly,
Cheng Shilian wanted to go with him, but Wang Zhen said that his life was poor and he could not see the scene of the carriage.
Xin Gongping went to the west of the agreed Ba Bridge alone, and felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and a team of soldiers wearing strong and sharp legs appeared on the left and right, one of which was Wang Zhen.
Xin Gongping followed Wang Zhen to pay homage to the general who led 500 soldiers, and then teamed into Tonghua Gate and entered the temple. He stayed for several days, but did not find a chance to welcome him."
The ape paused for a moment and scratched the back of his furry hand, "The general was so upset that he could not wait any longer, but the emperor was protected by the gods and it was difficult to welcome him.
Wang Zhen then offered a suggestion that he could hold a night banquet, using the meat and fish that filled the banquet to make the gods groggy.
The general smiled and nodded, led his troops into Danfeng Gate, passed Hanyuan Hall, passed Xuanzheng Hall, and surrounded the Night Banquet Palace,
Xin Gongping followed the army into the hall, and saw the sound of silk and bamboo music in the hall and the singing and dancing were very pleasant, but the musician and dancers all had expressionless expressions, like puppets, and ignored the soldiers who broke into the palace.
At the same time, the candlelight in the hall was shining with moonlight, reflecting the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, looking down at the singing and dancing expressionlessly.
Then, a strange-looking man with a long beard and wearing a green shirt and soap pants held a golden dagger about one foot long and presented it to the general, and he shouted, "The time has come."
The general held a golden dagger and presented it to His Majesty. The music suddenly dispersed. The emperor was dizzy and was helped into the West Pavilion. He had not come out for a long time. The general urged him, and a sound came from the West Pavilion, saying that the emperor was taking a bath and changing clothes.
After a long time, the emperor climbed onto the jade carriage and left the West Pavilion.
When the general saw the emperor, he did not kneel down, but gave a bow and asked the emperor whether he had any thoughts on the world.
The emperor claimed to be troubled by the world and was confused, but now he has abandoned external things and has no worries.
The concubines of the palace were sobbing and crying, wiping the blood, unable to bear the emperor on the jade carriage to leave, but the general just laughed loudly, led the jade carriage out of the palace and left."
When talking about fighting here, the expression on the ape man's face was a bit strange. "When I saw Xin Gongping, who was the scene of the immortal, was finally sent by Wang Zhen to the house where Cheng Shilian stayed. He witnessed Wang Zhen's figure slowly disappearing out of thin air.
Cheng Shilian asked him about the scene of the welcome, but Xin Gongping only said that he would talk about it if he had the chance.
A few months later, the emperor passed away. The following year, Xin Gongping was promoted to Jiangdu County, Yangzhou."
The ape man looked around the guests with different expressions and asked indifferently: "Everyone, do you understand?"
There was no answer in the hall.
Pick.
Bai Yongyan put the chopsticks in a wooden plate and said lightly: "Welcome to the emperor, and welcoming the emperor. Welcoming the emperor in the underworld naturally means sending the emperor to heaven.
But if it is a normal secret servant,
It should be that the emperor was terminally ill and had no medicine, and the messenger from the underworld came to welcome him.
In the story, Wang Zhen and the general are strange in their behavior, not like living people, but they still have a way to enter Beijing and station in temples near the palace. They are probably treasons who are plotting against each other in the name of a sinister.
The general complained that there were gods around the emperor, and the gods here should refer to the emperor's personal bodyguard.
During the night banquet, the rioters tried to transfer the emperor's personal bodyguard and held a dagger to "please" the emperor ascend to the immortal.
Then the emperor was taken to the West Pavilion to take a bath and change his clothes. The so-called bathing was probably a knife and an axe.
The concubines sobbed and cried, wiping the blood all over the floor. In other words, the emperor who had left the house and sat on the jade carp was already a corpse at that time."
Bai Yongyan swept around the silent guests, spread his hands indifferently, and said casually: "Bai remembers that the cause of death of the late emperor Shunzong is very suspicious, right?
When Shunzong tried to reform the government,
However, due to the opposition of eunuchs and a group of clique ministers, the innovation ended in vain.
In order to eliminate future troubles, the eunuchs directly forced the palace to force Shunzong to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor.
The throne was handed over to the crown prince who was only sixteen years old at the time, which is now His Majesty the Emperor.
Shunzong tried to send people to Qinzhou and asked the Longxi governor to send troops to abolish the new emperor. However, the matter was exposed and the secret envoy was killed. Shunzong was under house arrest.
The following year, His Majesty the Emperor said that the Supreme Emperor had become ill for a long time and needed to live in the inner courtyard of the deep palace and could not see anyone.
May later, the Emperor Xuancheng Supreme Emperor died of illness.
Time just happened to be described in the story of Xin Gongping Shangxian, which corresponds to the above.
If the Xin Gongping Immortal you just described is the execution of Shunzong by the rebel minister.
Then the rebel ministers here are most likely the eunuch group that once helped the current emperor win the battle for the crown prince.
The reason why Xin Jingping was fictionalized was that Cheng Shilian, Wang Zhen and others was to use strange ambitions to record the truth that happened at that time in a vague form."
Bai Yongyan swept his eyes and looked extremely hard to see Yu Qingqiu, and said to the ape man indifferently: "The meaning of this story is very simple.
Since the Supreme Emperor who had tried to reform the government would be forced to palace or even killed by the eunuch group,
