My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 125 123. Ten years of supervising the country, hiding the beauty in the golden house

Ten years passed in a flash.

When you are young, you will feel that time passes very slowly. There seems to be a lot of time in a day. You can do many things. You can play with your friends at the entrance of the village, or go fishing or swimming. There are many meaningful things you can do in a whole day. thing.

However, as you get older and older, you will find that time passes faster and faster, as if you have pressed the accelerator button. Sometimes it feels like you have done nothing during the day, but when you come back to your senses, By that time, the day had passed quietly.

Especially when you are old, there are no extra entertainment activities, but you can sit all day long.

Zhao Xuanqi didn't know why those old people had no entertainment activities at all, but they could sit at the entrance of the village for a whole day.

Now he understands,
All you can see are memories.

All the thoughts in the heart are the past.

When he reacted, ten years had passed. This year, he was 57 years old.

During these ten years, Zhao Xuanqi supervised state affairs in the name of regent, handled government affairs for Emperor Qianli, and incidentally educated Emperor Qianli.

However, due to old age, Zhao Xuanqi's energy was not as good as before, and he was tired, so he only took the title of emperor's teacher, but he actually didn't do much to educate the emperor, but left it to several other famous scholars.

Emperor Qianli was also well educated, and his grades in liberal arts were not bad. Although he was not top-notch, he was still at a high level.

Moreover, Emperor Qianli is very tall and burly. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is already fifteen or sixteen years old this year. With his tall body, his peers are no match for him.

He also has a wise temperament and has many opinions at a young age. At first glance, he is someone who can achieve great things.

Emperor Qianli is more reassuring.

In the imperial court, there are Jin Yiwei who supervise all officials and urge them to be honest and upright and achieve political achievements. There are also informants among the people, urging people to resume farming and mulberry fields, which shocks the world.

There are East and West factories in the palace, which are responsible for guarding His Majesty, cooperating with the Jinyi guards to do some house searches, supervising each other, and cooperating with each other.

Jin Yiwei has turned into white gloves, while East Factory and West Factory have black gloves, one black and one white, and they cooperate with each other tacitly.

The country has been unified again, and after the war, the people only want to recuperate and have no idea of ​​fighting.

Therefore, in these ten years, basically nothing major happened in the world. It was in a state of stability and rule by doing nothing.

The country is becoming more and more prosperous and the people are living a stable life.

This year is actually not much different from other years. It is ordinary and unremarkable.

But the reason why such a dull year made Zhao Xuanqi come back to his senses.

This is because a particularly important thing happened: Zhao Xuanqi's wife is passing away!

This year, Yuan Caiyun is 59 years old.

She is old.

When she was 58 years old last year, she already had obvious signs of aging, her memory became particularly slow, and she seemed to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Often forgetful and forgetful.

Memory loss is getting worse.

Sometimes she just had breakfast in the morning, and after just resting for a short time, she would ask her to have breakfast again.

She couldn't tell the difference between day and night, and she began to recognize people. She no longer recognized her daughter or son, nor did she recognize Zhao Xuanqi.

Sometimes Zhao Xuanqi stood next to Yuan Caiyun, and she would treat Zhao Xuanqi as a stranger and push him away.

Zhao Xuanqi was obviously standing next to her, but she would tremble with fear and keep shouting: "Husband, husband..."

Zhao Xuanqi walked up and said, "I am your husband."

Yuan Caiyun shook his head and replied: "You are not my husband. You are too old, old and ugly. My husband is very young. My husband went to the capital to take the exam. I am waiting for him to come back..."

"I am your husband."

"You are not! My husband is the most handsome man in the world. He has the ability to make people cry. He cannot be an old man like you. I heard that the princess is already obsessed with him. I wonder if he can come back from the capital... …”

"Uh...he will definitely come back!"

"Yes, you are right. I believe he will definitely come back. He will definitely come back to me from the capital to take the exam!"

Then she silently held the painting she had embroidered, which had Zhao Xuanqi's face on it. She would sit there all day holding the painting, sometimes giggling foolishly, and sometimes shedding tears.

The wife forgot Zhao Xuanqi and her family.

Her aging body and increasingly serious illness made her forget many things, but she did not forget Zhao Xuanqi, nor did she forget to wait for her husband to come back.

In Yuan Caiyun's memory, she is still a young and beautiful girl who needs to dress up every day. Similarly, she needs to wait for her husband to come back from taking the exam in a distant place.

She believed that her husband would come back.

The illness caused Yuan Caiyun to lose a part of her memory, allowing her to stay in her youthful years.

In the winter of 58 years old, Yuan Caiyun suffered a serious illness. When she woke up, she had lost the ability to speak, her eyes became extremely cloudy, and she could only lie down in bed.

The imperial doctor came to Yuan Caiyun's body to nurse him back to health. However, every imperial doctor could only shake his head after seeing it.

They didn't say anything, but Zhao Xuanqi was not a fool. He understood the most sincere truth:
His wife is afraid that she is going to die.

From this day on, Zhao Xuanqi no longer cared about government affairs and spent more time at home with Yuan Caiyun.

But companionship will eventually end one day.

Shortly after Yuan Caiyun's 59th birthday, her years came to an end.

On this day, after Zhao Xuanqi gave Yuan Caiyun medicine, he watched his wife fall into a deep sleep, so he returned to the study to handle matters.

But not long after, the maid, with tears in her eyes and extremely anxious, hurriedly called Zhao Xuanqi: "Madam... Madam is going to die!"

Zhao Xuanqi's heart trembled.

Quickly ran back to the room.

The room was already full of sons and daughters.In recent years, Zhao Xuanqi's wife and concubines gave birth to a total of four sons and five daughters for him.

Seeing Zhao Xuanqi's arrival, they all made room for Zhao Xuanqi.

Zhao Xuanqi returned to the bed, sat on the edge, slowly stretched out his hand, and held the woman's hand.

Yuan Caiyun's hands have become extremely old, withered and thin, and her face is full of wrinkles.

Alzheimer's!
In a serious condition, Yuan Caiyun could no longer speak. He could not make a sound when he opened his mouth. His eyes seemed to be invisible and hazy. Even his ears were in chaos and it was difficult to hear outside sounds.

At this moment, Yuan Caiyun was struggling on the bed. His old body burst out with huge strength, and he kept struggling on the bed, with a look of fear on his face.

The wife had a nightmare.

But in her world, she couldn't see, hear, or speak. For her, the world was pitch black, no sound, no color, just pitch black.

She had obviously woken up from a nightmare, but she was still in such a dark world. She was too scared.

Zhao Xuanqi was very heartbroken.

It hurts so much.

He held the woman's hands vigorously, and then stabilized her, hoping to bring a touch of warmth to the woman in the dark world.

Turning his body sideways, Zhao Xuanqi shouted in the woman's ear: "I'm here, I've always been here, don't be afraid..."

Unfortunately, his so-called warmth could not bring any peace to the woman. The woman struggled harder and harder, and panic drove her into despair. Gradually, she was able to speak:

"Husband...husband...why aren't you back yet?"

The sound was intermittent.

The voice is old and old.

In Yuan Caiyun's memory, she has been waiting for her husband to come back. She has been waiting for her husband to come back for the exam. She has been waiting for a long, long time...

Zhao Xuanqi's heart trembled, but unfortunately he could do nothing.

No matter how loud he shouts,

No matter how hard he hugs him,

Still couldn't get the woman to calm down.

The woman could never feel Zhao Xuanqi's warmth, her ears could not hear, his eyes could not see, and it was even difficult for her to speak.

In the case of Alzheimer's disease, in the case of old age, in that dark world, she was isolated and helpless from beginning to end.

Zhao Xuanqi was powerless, he couldn't do anything, he could only watch the woman struggling in that dark world, and being frightened in that dark world.

It was obvious that she was beside Yuan Caiyun, and it was obvious that she had hugged her tightly, but she couldn't feel it.

that's it,
The woman died.

The woman died in Zhao Xuanqi's arms.

When Zhao Xuanqi came to his senses, his wife was already motionless in his arms, her life gradually disappearing.

He hugged Yuan Caiyun's back and looked at the woman's face. Her face was full of wrinkles, with fear and despair on her face!

The woman died in fear and despair!

In her world, she did not wait for her husband after all, so she died in panic and loneliness!
"me…"

Zhao Xuanqi opened his mouth wide.

A feeling of suffocation filled his heart.

Yuan Caiyun died like this?

How could she die like this?
I'm back from taking the exam!
I'm right next to you!
I didn't choose a princess!

How could you misunderstand me?I'm always with you.

Zhao Xuanqi fell into extreme panic.

He did not allow his wife to die in that dark world like this. He did not allow his wife to die in despair and fear in a dark world where she could not hear, see or speak!

But what can I do?

Can't do anything!

Zhao Xuanqi suddenly hated himself extremely.

But suddenly, he came back from this extreme sadness and frantically searched for something on his body.

However, because the emotion was so intense, his hands and feet kept shaking and became weak.

In a rage, he simply took off his clothes, tore them to pieces, and used all his strength to grope around on his body.

My son and daughters were shocked.They thought that Zhao Xuanqi had gone crazy because of his mother's death.

The sons and daughters knelt on the ground one after another, pulling Zhao Xuanqi's legs and crying: "Father, mother is gone. You can't just go crazy like this. What should we do if you go crazy like this?" ?”

"Father, we can't live without you!"

"We no longer have a mother, how can you abandon us, father?"

Zhao Xuanqi is not crazy.

He pushed his children away fiercely.

"I'm not crazy, she's not dead yet, I must tell her that I'm back!"

"She is so timid and fearful, she can't just leave alone like this!"

Then, Zhao Xuanqi took off his clothes and

He groped wildly in his arms and finally found what he was looking for.

An ordinary thing.

This is a jade pendant.

The jade pendant was carved into a state of white clouds, with the clouds curling and relaxing, and there was a cold feeling in the hand when held tightly.

Zhao Xuanqi knelt limply on the ground, lying on the edge of the bed, and stuffed the jade pendant into Yuan Caiyun's palm as quickly as possible.

He separated the woman's hands, put the jade pendant into the woman's palm, and wrapped it tightly.

Then he shook the woman vigorously:

"You can't hear, you can't see, you can't speak. I know you are helpless, but I'm back, I'm really back!"

"I won't allow you to misunderstand me."

"I didn't choose anyone else. I've come back to see you in time for the exam. I've always been by your side!"

"I'm clearly by your side, how can you leave alone?"

Zhao Xuanqi shouted as hard as he could and shook vigorously.

Unfortunately, the woman didn't react at all.

Yuan Caiyun's face was full of despair and panic from beginning to end. In that dark world, she was helpless and died like this without waiting for her husband.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the unresponsive woman and then came to his senses. The woman was dead, indeed dead!
My reaction is too slow!
This jade pendant should be taken out as soon as possible!

This is the jade pendant that his wife sent to him when he went to the county town to take the exam. This is the jade of peace. If he feels this jade pendant, his wife will definitely know that he has returned!
But it's too late!
Because of her own slowness, Yuan Caiyun left alone, without waiting for her husband.

He could obviously let her leave happily, but because of his own mistakes, he let her leave alone like this. She must have been desperate before she died...

In her world, her husband chose the princess and did not rush back from the capital...

Just a little slower!
Zhao Xuanqi's mind went blank, his hands and feet were weak, and his body was twitching continuously. His energy and energy were emptied out at this moment, and he knelt on the ground helplessly, paralyzed.

Hold the woman's hand tightly with both hands, and then cry loudly while holding the woman's hand.

The crying was particularly unpleasant.

Crying very hoarsely.

Although he is already an old man, he still cries uncontrollably.

Obviously this is just a copy world, obviously this is just a copy experience. Compared to the main world, this world is fake.

But why is it still so sad?

But why is it still so sad?

Zhao Xuanqi couldn't control his emotions.

Suddenly a voice came: "Mother... mother smiled!"

Zhao Xuanqi was stunned.

Stop crying.

He looked towards the woman on the bed.

I saw that the woman had been dead for a long time, but I don't know when the expression on her face had changed.

It's a smile.

A satisfied smile.

The last expression on her face was a gentle smile.

In the last moment of her life, I don’t know when, the expression on her face turned into a smile!
"You must know I'm back, right?"

Zhao Xuanqi asked in a low voice.

No one answered his question.

Perhaps only women know this question.

But she was dead and naturally couldn't speak, so naturally no one could know the answer.

But look at the gentle and contented smile on her face.

Zhao Xuanqi got the answer in his heart.

He was relieved.

He felt redeemed.

However, after redemption, there is more debt.

Zhao Xuanqi felt that he owed his wife, he owed this woman so much!

I am Lord Wu'an, a famous regent, His Majesty's Grand Master, and a veteran of three dynasties.

In the whole world, how many men are more noble than me?
But as a man, as Yuan Caiyun's husband, what exactly did he give to his wife?
Zhao Xuanqi discovered that no.

When he was young, he stayed away from his wife to study.

In middle age, he stayed away from his wife in order to pacify the country.

Even when he was old, he neglected his family to worry about national affairs.

When Yuan Caiyun was alive, she spent more time waiting, waiting for her husband to come back, and looking forward to her husband's return.

She never left home when she was alive, and she didn't have much social circle in Chang'an City. She didn't like to show off her wealth or be arrogant. She just liked to embroider quietly.

While embroidering, she waited for her husband to return.

All Zhao Xuanqi's glory and all Zhao Xuanqi's achievements have not brought more benefits to this woman.

Gold and silver treasures?
Or is it glory?

All the glory of Zhao Xuanqi.

Is this important to a woman who loves him?
What’s more important is companionship!
Yuan Caiyun is diligent and frugal. For her, just enough money is enough. She doesn’t need too much, and she doesn’t have too much.

For her, honor does not mean that her husband is happy. She does not value gold and silver, nor does she value all glory.

She only values ​​her husband, and she just waits for her husband day after day!
Even if Alzheimer's disease is severe, she has been waiting for her husband before she died...

Zhao Xuanqi discovered that over the years, he had only spent very few years with his wife!
He owes his wife so much!
Looking at the white cloud jade pendant in Yuan Caiyun's hand, the jade of peace, this jade pendant was bought by Zhao Xuanqi's wife after she sold the personal hairpin on her head when she went to the county town to take the exam.

A long-standing promise suddenly emerged in my mind:

"If one day I am named on the gold medal list, I will definitely repay you a thousand times the dowry. I will definitely build a house made of pure gold as your new house. Only such a room is worthy of you."

At that time Yuan Caiyun smiled: "I'll be waiting for you."

At that time, I was arrogant and full of pride, and felt that I must fulfill this promise!

But now, my wife is dead!
Ridiculous, ridiculous.

The dignified Mr. Wu An, in the name of loyalty and integrity, has made every promise to others. He has fulfilled all his promises to others, has not broken his trust to anyone, and has fulfilled every promise perfectly.

However, in the end, he broke his promise to his wife!

He actually broke his trust with a woman on his pillow!
Zhao Xuanqi stood up. His hands were shaking unbelievably. He put his hands behind his back, trying hard to cover up the trembling, and looked directly at the children beside him:
"I want to hold her funeral myself!"

"I want one last luxury!"

Not long after, Zhao Xuanqi used his years of savings and the property that the imperial court had given him over the years, including asking for some gold and silver from Emperor Qianli.

In the end, countless gold and a lot of time were spent to build a huge golden coffin!

It is five meters long, three meters wide and two meters high.

It is not so much a coffin as it is a small pure gold house, the whole body is made of gold, and it is golden.

It looks like a coffin on the outside, but the inside is thicker. There are windows and furniture carved on the inner wall, including some small maids and housekeepers, as well as courtyard trees, rockeries and flowing water.

At the same time, various strange mythical beasts are engraved on them, guarding the courtyard and coffins.

And in the center of the coffin, Yuan Caiyun's body was lying inside, wearing a gold-threaded dress.

Made of pure gold and silk, it wrapped around her body and made her look like a goddess in the sky.

There was no jade jewelry inside the coffin. All the jewelry was gold, reflecting the woman in the gold and wrapping the woman in this golden room.

Finally, among the funerary objects is a solid gold cabin over three meters high. Whether it is the windows or the furniture, the carvings are extremely detailed. The entire Wu'an Junfu is carved into it, forming a perfect work of art.

This work of art was buried deep into the cemetery along with the huge coffin.

Zhao Xuanqi was poor and did not value gold and silver in his life. This was his luxury for Yuan Caiyun, and this was his luxury for his wife!
If you didn’t fulfill this promise during your lifetime, you must fulfill it after you die!

The tomb was chosen to be in Ziyun County. I prefer Shixi County in Ziyun County. I chose the hometown where the two of them were born.

This is the return of fallen leaves to their roots.

Yuan Caiyun was born in this land, and perhaps only in this land could she sleep peacefully.

In order to prevent someone from robbing the tomb, Zhao Xuanqi also used his power to build a huge mausoleum and placed countless mechanisms inside. The people involved in making the mechanisms were all top-notch craftsmen in the world.

After the mausoleum was built, he even sent a trusted general and led a large number of trusted soldiers to form a village around the mausoleum to protect the mausoleum day by day and from generation to generation.

Zhao Xuanqi watched his wife being buried with his own eyes, and saw the mausoleum being closed and guarded by numerous agencies. Only then did he feel completely at ease!
In this way, at the age of 58, Zhao Xuanqi said goodbye to his wife and the woman who had been with him for decades.
