That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 536 The Winter of Two Years in Taiping

After Qin Mumian and Xu Beiyou parted, they rushed all the way out of Yanzhou and into Zhili Prefecture.

The so-called Zhili Prefecture is the foot of the emperor, where the imperial capital is guarded. This place is garrisoned by the Chinese Army, the head of the five imperial guards.

Withered vegetation, reincarnation of life and old age, this is the rule of the world, if it is not in compliance with the rules, and unable to resist the heavenly way that symbolizes the rules, you can only leave the world by proving the way and ascending all the way. As for those who cannot leave the world, no matter how mysterious you are , the cultivation base reaches the sky, and it is impossible to escape the path of sitting and transforming after all.

Xiao Yu is like this, even if he is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the Great Qi Emperor who reigns over the world, he will inevitably grow old.

There is no immortal emperor in the world, so when you get old, you will die.

Xiao Yu walked peacefully, fell asleep in front of his wife, and never woke up again.

After the body was sorted out, it was put into the coffin of golden nanmu. Because he died in the side hall of Weiyang Palace, it saved a lot of trouble. before the chair.

The emperor became the Daxing Emperor.

The Queen became the Queen Mother.

At that time, Xiao Xuan, who was still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, was dressed in white filial piety, and wept bitterly in front of the coffin.

Xiao Xuan is Xiao Yu's only son. He knows that the throne will belong to him sooner or later, and he is not in a hurry. His Royal Highness, who is not yet [-] years old, has never thought of taking up the burden of an empire now, so the prince cannot accept himself. His father left just like that, and the huge pressure and the pain of losing his father weighed on his shoulders, which made the young man at a loss. He could only cry in front of his father's spirit, and he was already in disarray.

After the prince are civil and military officials who are also dressed in white mourning. This group of people has neither the prince's grief nor the prince's bewilderment.

Fortunately, the woman who had accompanied Xiao Yu all her life did not panic and stood up at this critical moment.

After Xiao Lian cried and worshiped, Lin Yinping officially became the empress dowager in the side hall of Weiyang Palace, accepted the worship of all officials, and then issued her first edict as empress dowager.

According to the will of the Empress Dowager Yizhi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne before the coffin of Emperor Daxing and became the new emperor of the dynasty.

Then all the officials paid homage to the new emperor, and then the new emperor paid homage to the emperor Daxing with the emperor's ceremony, officially announced the mourning to the world, welcomed the emperor's spiritual seat into the Taimiao, named the temple Emperor Taizu, and posthumously named Qiyunli Aurora Wensu Emperor Wu Xiaogao, along with Emperor Xuanzu Jing and Emperor Wuzu Chun.

Finally, the body of Emperor Taizu was buried in the Meishan Emperor Mausoleum which had just been repaired for a short time.

On the east side of the imperial mausoleum is the joint burial mausoleum of Emperor Wuzu and Empress Xiaoci, together with Emperor Taizu who had just been buried in the imperial mausoleum, the family of three was reunited here.

At the end of the 20th year of Taiping, the court was in chaos, and the dispute between the two parties headed by Lan Yu and Han Xuan broke out at this juncture. It was also in this situation that the Queen Mother listened to the government behind the curtain, calmed the dispute between the two parties, and deposed the two parties. The second auxiliary party, the king of Wei wrote a letter requesting to go to Beijing to worship the emperor's elder brother. The queen mother refused on the grounds that the laws of the vassal vassal should not be violated. Monitor Wei Guo's every move.

Under the strong wrist of the queen mother, the new emperor and the court lived through 20 years of peace without any danger.

The following year, the new emperor changed Yuan to Taiping, which was the first year of Taiping.

In February of the first year of Taiping, the Empress Dowager returned to the emperor, and the new emperor took charge.

In March of the first year of Taiping, the Empress Dowager died, and she was buried in Meishan Emperor Mausoleum with the posthumous title Empress Xiaoci Wenshun Shenggao, together with Emperor Taizu.

According to the Queen Mother's will, her coffin was not placed in another tomb, but connected by a corridor, but directly placed side by side with Emperor Taizu's coffin in the same tomb.

After the Broken Dragon Stone fell, the entire mausoleum was completely sealed and isolated from the world.

In the next year, at the end of the year when there was heavy snowfall, Qin Mumian quietly climbed up Meishan and came to the imperial mausoleum.

That was Qin Mumian's last visit to the imperial capital. After 20 years, she came to Meishan again.

Qin Mumian stopped on a hill, looking at the outline of Meishan in the distance, feeling a little dazed.

It seems that in this trance, more than fifty years have passed by in a hurry.

Fifty years ago, that man was still high-spirited, swiping his whip to cut off the flow, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

50 years later, Baiyun Canggou, the Sri Lankan has passed away, and only a hill of earth remains.

She was about to continue on her way when she suddenly frowned and looked up.

A tall figure appeared at the end of her field of vision.

Then this tall figure came towards Qin Mumian. He had a simple face and a resolute expression. He was only wearing thin cloth clothes and heavy leather boots on his feet. The muscles under the clothes were faintly knotted.

The tall man stopped when he was three feet away from Qin Mumian, and did not continue to approach, with a slightly stiff smile on his face, "Junior Sister Qin, long time no see."

Qin Mumian glanced at the unexpected visitor, and said with a straight face, "Why are you here?"

The man said softly: "I have been to Jiangdu, Luo Fu said you are not here, I guess you will come here, so I will wait for you here in advance."

Qin Mumian snorted, "What do you want from me?"

The man sighed softly, as if feeling a little helpless towards Qin Mumian's lukewarm attitude, "I haven't seen you for many years, I want to find you to catch up with you."

Qin Mumian chuckled.

Qin Mumian and Wanyan Beiyue are not the only two old people in such a big Xuanjiao. The man in front of him is also a member of Xuanjiao. He started his career even earlier than Qin Mumian, so he called Qin Mumian his junior sister.

In his early years, this person had the spirit of a knight-errant, and he left the sect early to travel the world. In addition to the Xuanjiao method, he also practiced martial arts. Xiao Yu was still very down and out, and depended on Mo Shu, his maid. The two fought because of Mingtong's belonging, and temporarily stopped fighting because of Qin Mumian's appearance.

Later, when they parted, Xiao Yu chose to go to the grassland with Lin Yinping, while he accompanied Qin Mumian back to Jian.

Later, under the guidance of the Taoist old head teacher, Qin Mumian turned away from Xuanjiao for the second time, but he stayed in Xuanjiao.

His surname is Yi, his name is Yi Shi, and he is now a high authority in Xuanjiao.

In fact, many discerning people know that Master Yi has a never-to-be-expressed love for the former saintess Qin Mumian who has long since betrayed the sect. As time goes by, this matter has become an anecdote that has been circulated in Xuanjiao for many years, but the two people involved never nodded, so it is not easy to put it on the surface.

Over the years, Master Yi has already been familiar with Qin Mumian's temperament, so he didn't care about it, and said calmly: "Let's walk together, I will take you to Meishan."

Qin Mumian hummed softly in a nasal voice.

The two walked side by side, and along the way, Master Yi was talking, talking about the current situation, and also talking about interesting things about Houjian. Of course, it was more like what he said, reminiscing about the past and reminiscing about the past.

However, he is a person who is not good at words. After he said something that was originally interesting, it was only boring.

Qin Mumian didn't say anything to ridicule, but agreed slightly perfunctorily.

Soon at the foot of Meishan, Master Yi stopped and said softly: "Going to the imperial capital, be careful."

Qin Mumian hummed, and after a little hesitation, he said softly, "Senior Brother Yi, you are a good person."
