Four Nights Red House

In the peaceful Taichu Palace after nightfall, the candlelight lights winding in the corridors of the palace seemed to connect to the sky.The fading mist gradually became thicker at some point, and when the clear frost fell, a strange clump grew along the corridor all the way up.

In the middle of the night, less than half of the lights in the dilapidated inner hall were still on, and with another exclamation and scream, most of them were gradually lit up.

Woke up suddenly, once again escaped from the nightmare with abolished Zhou Zhang!Emperor Wu only felt cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

The stars are few and the waves of the night are light, Wan'er, who sleeps in a side hall as usual, still can't sleep well.What's more, since the beginning of the day, Emperor Wu seems to have become more and more restless in sleep, always waking up suddenly when his sleep is getting more and more sound, and he can only gradually fall asleep after calming down; It is maintained four to five times, and as time goes on, such times become more and more complicated.

The red damask beauty palace lantern with thousands of folds blocked the light because of the tangled damask on the surface, piercing the eyes, and the aftertaste was only a faint circle, but it was gentle and tight in the eyes.Hearing the sound, Wan'er raised her faint black eyebrows, turned over in a hurry, carried the palace lantern, and went out, step by step into the bedroom of Emperor Wu, and moved to the front of the couch, Qu Liman embraced Emperor Wu and gently stroked her. Patting on the back: "Did Your Majesty have a nightmare again?" Xu Xu's soft voice contained a few traces of obvious concern, as well as some relief that made people feel safe.

At that time, Emperor Wu's mind was not completely clear, so in this half-dream, half-awake, drowsiness, she felt the warm and slightly windy breath of the people around her, and took advantage of the opportunity to hold Wan'er's sleeve, and turned her eyes to the side. Jiao Jiao who asked the first question: "Why do I always have nightmares recently? The Mingtang is a symbol of destiny! Now that the Mingtang is gone, does it mean that the heaven will no longer bless me? Is it God's will? Is it God's punishment? Yes or no……"

These words were spit out one after another, without any lengthy pause in the middle, this is the most real expression of Emperor Wu, just at this moment when he was most caught off guard.

I can’t remember how long it’s been since such a true feeling was revealed, and I even forgot the secret of dismissing a group of maids; Wu Huang’s questions were continuous and anxious, and the gap between sentences was too short, and the rush was too short for people to interrupt .

People who are too superior and powerful will always have such disadvantages. Every unexpected adversity and some strange perceptions can always stir up sensitive thoughts at once, thinking more and more, and some of them turn over and over again. .

Maybe the older this person is, the more he will turn his mind to the gods, or maybe the state affairs are heavy during this period, and the Emperor Wu is really tired, or maybe the thoughts in his heart during the day can't follow the subconscious to make a ruling, and the subconscious It is still deeply rooted and lingers for a long time... That's why Emperor Wu has had unprovoked and weird dreams one after another these days.

Wan'er raised her hand and patted Emperor Wu's back unhurriedly to calm her down, and took advantage of the situation to hold her fingers to comfort her.However, Wan'er's mind gradually became clear in the turmoil. She knew clearly that if she wanted to talk about the conclusion of all this and the origin of all this, there is actually one more important stimulus - that is, a few days ago, she had already been Let's put it aside and don't mention Ming Tang!

Ming Tang is gone, tomorrow is the symbol of Emperor Wu's destiny, it is destiny!The Mingtang, which had received the destiny, suddenly dissipated into green smoke and disappeared overnight following Xue Huaiyi's sudden fire.

Emperor Wu forgave Huaiyi and forgiven Huaiyi, but for Huaiyi's anger and Huaiyi's fault, can she really forget it?

It's not about Xue Huaiyi, but about herself!

This fire has exhausted the momentum of burying the sky and burying the ground, and it seems to have staged a battle of extreme madness in the world!What is burning is more than just a bright hall?This fire is too wanton, too reckless...

Forgive and forget are never equated!Things that have happened in the past have happened, and things that have happened have happened, no matter what they do, they will not dissipate; this kind of past, like a scar that cannot heal has been drawn on Emperor Wu's heart, and the two people who were extremely close in the past In fact, there is already a gap between people. Even though it looks the same on the surface, it can never be perfect again.

With the absence of Mingtang, and the continuous state affairs are so complicated, the Emperor Wu is almost suffocated for a while!Originally, there was no excessive connection between the nightmare at midnight and the destruction of Mingtang, but who made Mingtang no longer exist?It is just catching up at such a juncture!

Therefore, all of these things began to play tricks in Emperor Wu's heart, and it seemed that there was always a shadow like this that grew after the absence of Ming Tang and the unfavorable destiny.

The night light was bright, and the curtain swayed slightly in the wind. The figure of Emperor Wu, who was half buried in the brocade quilt on the bed, was a little hazy. Surrounded by the burning candles all over the hall, he cast a black shadow. While the dark night was dark, it also showed a bit of weakness that had settled down to the bones.

Wan'er has never seen such a weak and helpless Emperor Wu, this woman is so strong in her heart and in anyone's heart, so courageous and resolute... Stretching out her arms slowly, Wan'er hugged her The empress's shoulders half embraced the emperor Wu into her thin arms.

The Emperor Wu's nightmare gradually dissipated, and he was still chanting slowly and fragmentarily.Wan'er had no choice but to shake her head lightly following her continuous dreamlike murmurs: "No, Your Majesty has the destiny. Ming Tang is just an external symbol, how could it possibly endanger His Majesty?" At that time, her eyebrows softened, and she said again, "Your Majesty, don't worry about the sky, don't think about it. No, no..." Her tone was deep and soft, but it was very soft when it touched the pinna, as if she was clear The water is clear and clear, and it also reveals a bit of Zen flavor like a landscape painting.

Under Wan'er's meticulous reassurance, Emperor Wu finally slowly dissipated the lingering invisible haze that was oppressing him from the bottom of his heart.

The red damask beauty palace lantern melts into the cool night light, and the surrounding scenery is covered by this melting warm orange, which seems to be coated with a thin layer of warm frost, and a small piece of vision follows the lights and candle shadows as far as the eye can see. Then it turned into a light orange.

Another moment later, accompanied by Wan'er's unhurried and soft words, the hazy expression and attitude of the Martial Emperor on the couch gradually became clearer little by little.

When he breathed out, Emperor Wu closed his eyes, calming down the anxiety of the dream in his heart slightly, the gathered eyebrows stretched smoothly, and the solemn face covered with thin frost showed the awe-inspiring majesty soaked in the bones and blood as seen in the usual days .

In this way, the glamorous emperor returned safely to this chaotic world.

Seeing such a scene in her eyes, Wan'er knew that Emperor Wu had calmed down, so she gradually felt at ease.She turned her eyes slightly, and beckoned Gong'e to make green peony tea.The calming tea brewed from this flower and herb has a good effect of calming the mind, and it is just right to suppress the nerves when used here.

After a while, the new tea was ready, Wan'er took a cup of tea from Gong'e's hand, and handed it to Emperor Wu to drink it humbly.

Tea is a good thing for seeking meditation and enlightening Buddha. It is more nirvana and free and easy than wine that sinks the whole body.Emperor Wu took a sip of his drink with the exquisite thin cup, the fragrance on his teeth and cheeks, and his dryness gradually dissipated.After a while, Fu lay down again and fell asleep peacefully just now.

In the Saha world, there are many unbroken and indistinct trivialities and all kinds of silent troubles, entanglements, stitches, and even after the end of life, there is still a ray of obsession that cannot be let go, but how? Not self-suffering?

Wan'er was taking care of Emperor Wu's sleep again, so she made such a detour without guarding against it.She carefully and meticulously covered up the brocade, then lowered the thin curtain, and when she turned to blow out the candle, she glanced at a light shadow cast on the wall, and suddenly felt that the night in the Palace of Absolute Beginning was so lonely, This heart is so small...

.

Although it has been a long time since the establishment of the reserve has not been decided, but this time it still has to be put there again because of the vacillation of the Emperor Wu.

Such a shelving, I am afraid that I don't know when and what month will be remembered again and mentioned on the business agenda!

But at this moment, I don't know if the sky really took care of it and gave a clear indication, an unexpected external force suddenly appeared... It was this external force that seemed to descend from the sky, and it happened to shake the power of this mighty empire. The intensified and secretly intensified battle for succession between the highest peaks has once again pushed forward a crucial step!

At that time, the land area of ​​Datang was 500 million square kilometers, vast and vast.It was supposed to be a prosperous and prosperous country, but the Khitan clan, which has taken root in the Northeast for generations, was in turmoil.

The Khitan clan had always been subject to the Li and Tang Dynasty. Naturally, there has been no change since then. Even after Emperor Wu changed Tang to Zhou, they naturally surrendered to Wu, who changed soup without changing medicine. Zhou Dynasty.

But the Khitan clan has never been willing to surrender. Any tribal nation has selfishness, and in terms of decision-making, they all have their own different cultures and the policy of seeking common ground while reserving differences.However, there is no one who does not want to allow their nation to develop more securely and stronger, and even gradually move towards the day when they will become self-reliant and independent of control!

Prompted by such a heart that has never been lost, there finally came a day when the Khitan realized that they were strong enough, and they had the natural opportunity of changing the emperor's dynasty. The cunning mind of restraint has finally been implemented, and the rebellion began in one fell swoop!

The Khitan clan's plan is so logical, and the details that can be done are not sloppy at all.

Any uprising requires an open and upright reason to attract people's hearts. At this moment, there is no need to search for this reason deliberately, it seems to be brought to the mouth naturally, it is natural!

The Khitan found the reason that the two princes, Li and Tang, were both demoted, and ordered those who were loyal to them to make a big appeal to the world, to raise the banner, "Why don't you return to my King of Luling"!

Even holding high such a powerful and well-known banner, the first to attack Wu Zhou's Youzhou.
