Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 585 The Book of Songs, Chen Feng

"What's wrong? What happened?" Guan Xuqing was a little nervous.

"Your Majesty, it is inconvenient for ministers and concubines to intervene in important national affairs, but this matter involves impostors, so I have no choice but to ask boldly, is the emperor planning to use troops?"

"Yes, the soldiers are gathering in North Korea, and they will be dispatched soon."

"Maozi once said that once the country is broken, she will never live in the world. Ever since the emperor went to North Korea, Maozi has never been out of the gate of Ting Yuexuan. The concubines heard from the maids in her palace that Zizi has been staring at a poem you gave her all day long. If she is writing at her desk, a good girl will go wrong if she continues like this. I am worried that one day she will become narrow-minded." Jingfen has already seen the emperor's expression After a big change, I dare not say any more.

"Jingfen, I've been working hard for you these days since I left Beijing." Guan Xuqing held Jingfen's hand and said emotionally.

Jingfen's face flushed: "I'm an old couple, why are you still talking about this? You often say that the queen wants to be the mother of the world. I don't have that ability, so I have to help the emperor take care of the harem, and it can save the emperor a little bit of money." Participation. In my opinion, you should go and see Maozi first, at this juncture, she must have a confidant by her side."

"Okay." Guan Xuqing looked at the concubines frolicking in the gazebo, and said, "You can take care of me here, and I'll go and listen to Yuexuan to have a look."

Guan Xuqing did not take Wang Shang with him, and walked through the flower path alone, faster and faster, and soon came to Tingyuexuan. The eunuch in front of the door saw that the emperor was coming, and was about to kneel down to worship the mountain and call long live, when Guan Xuqing waved his hand and said Sentence: "No, we all wait outside." He strode into the palace gate.

Tingyuexuan is still elegant and clean. White is taboo in the palace, but Maozi loves white, so Tingyuexuan's veils and everything are all white, which makes people feel calm when they are in it.Guan Xuqing dismissed the maids in the house and walked slowly to Maozi's study.The study room is still lit with aromatherapy, which makes people feel a sense of euphoria. Under the lamp, a woman in white dress drags the floor, exuding like a waterfall, hanging softly on her shoulders, holding a pen in her hand and writing at the desk, expressing her gratitude to the emperor. The sound of footsteps was unaware.

Guan Xuqing came to Maozi's side, looked down at the book case, Maozi wrote very quickly, but every word was written beautifully, in regular lower case letters, and the same poem was written on the whole rice paper It is a Chen Feng in the "Book of Songs" that Guan Xuqing copied to Maozi at the beginning, and the lines between the lines are filled with the deep and sincere love of the two young men and women.

Guan Xuqing felt obsessed with watching, and finally said softly: "I'm back."

Maozi's pen trembled suddenly, and a drop of ink dripped on the rice paper, slowly turning into a black halo, she slowly put down the pen in her hand, raised her head and stared at Guan Xuqing, the face that was flawless before is now Feeling haggard, Guan Xuqing felt sore in his heart, and called out, "Baozi, I'm here to see you."

Maozi didn't dare to look into the emperor's eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head, but his shoulders were shaking. Guan Xuqing put his hand on Maozi's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Have you been thinking about me?"

The maozi nodded heavily.

"I miss you too." After finishing speaking, Guan Xuqing let out a long breath.

Maozi stood up suddenly, with tears in his eyes, and hugged the emperor, Guan Xuqing comforted him: "I know what you think, but I have to send troops to you, do you understand? For many years, the country has been coveting me China, this time colluding with North Korea to seize the mountains and rivers of our empire. If I don’t control people, I will be controlled by others in the future. I hope you can understand this truth. Yes, a brat is a brat, no matter what time you are, you are my love concubine."

"No, no," Maozi let go of the emperor, took a few steps back, and said dumbly: "Maozi will always be your woman, and Maozi will always be loyal to you only, but I am a person. If my relatives and the country No, it is impossible for me to live in this world. These days, I have thought about it for a long time, and I have never begged you, this time I want to ask you, let go, let my loved ones go, can you?" Maozi said while weeping.

Guan Xuqing's face turned ashen, and he suddenly shouted: "Impossible! You can let anyone go, but you can't let go. This time I won't start a war, and I am not worthy to be the king of a country!"

Maozi was astonished, she had never seen the emperor lose such a temper to herself, at this moment she looked at the person she loved the most as if she were looking at a stranger. Your request, won't you agree?"

Guan Xuqing turned his back and looked at the autumn wind outside the window, silent.

After a long time, Maozi said lightly: "You go."

Guan Xuqing was shocked, turned around and suddenly grabbed Maozi's arm and said, "You promised me that you would grow old with me, right? I believe what you said is true."

Maozi said sadly: "What Maozi said is not accurate. Even if Maozi dies in the future, my heart will always be with His Majesty."

"You won't die. With me here, I will never let you die." Guan Xuqing's emotions became visibly agitated. He couldn't explain why he liked this woman from the depths of his soul, and he could also feel Maozi's love for him. Love is unforgettable, but now there is one person between the two people. If I am an ordinary person, I don't care about national righteousness and national security. As long as I can be with the woman I love, I can give up everything, but I It is the emperor, the [-] million pairs of eyes of the empire are looking at him all the time, national affairs are always national affairs, and must not be confused with children's personal affairs.He was ruthless, and said to Maozi: "I am the emperor, if I want to benefit the [-] million people in the empire, I must beat you, no matter what you say is true or false, I will not let you die , never!" After finishing speaking, Guan Xuqing turned around and left.

Just listen to the ethereal voice of Maozi behind him chanting: "When the moon rises, it's bright, and the people are flirting; When the moon rises and shines, it burns people; when Shu Yao shines, it makes one's mind miserable."

Guan Xuqing's body trembled violently. He knew that this was the Chen Feng song that he had copied for Maozi himself. At that time, Maozi had just entered the palace, and the two of them were like glue. resemblance.

"This is a gamble. The side that wins will be the long-term master of Asia, and the side that loses is likely to perish. From the moment the war started, I was ready to lose, but even if we lose , but also to lose with dignity, if you let me leave Tokyo now, what will the subjects of the great empire think, am I still worthy of being the emperor of the subjects of the great empire?" After the news, Prime Minister Fumma Konoe led a group of important officials to meet together, collectively apologized to the emperor, and knelt down to ask the emperor to leave Tokyo temporarily to prevent unexpected dangers.

"This time, I heard that China is going to send 100 million troops carrying the world's most advanced weapons to launch a landing operation on the islands that have lost their coastal defense capabilities. The civilians were urgently recruited from the people. In many places, the troops are not even equipped with weapons. Compared with the Chinese army, they are simply a gang of mobs. The enemy must concentrate its superior forces to defend Tokyo. Safety will determine the fate of the country, so, for the safety of the emperor, and to relieve the burden of the soldiers and civilians participating in the war, the emperor temporarily leaves Tokyo and takes refuge at the Ise Jingu Shrine. This is the plea of ​​all the soldiers and civilians of the empire." said sincerely.

In fact, the news of the navy's defeat has inevitably spread, and there is an atmosphere of panic throughout the organization. Although the activities of the people on the streets of Tokyo signing blood letters to defend the emperor are in full swing, those are the optimistic part of the national mood. Minor noodles, more of it is the debauchery after alcoholism, such as the chaos of losing hope, losing illusions and ignoring everything after the end of the world is approaching.

When the news of the defeat spread from the Pacific to Tokyo, all the people seemed to be numb all of a sudden. They were involuntarily startled when they heard the news, and then they began to doubt. After repeated doubts, they finally realized that all this was true. Then it's drunk, or laughing or crying crazily, and then, it's out of control.

Fortunately, they still have the emperor, and this kind of debauchery madness has a meeting point, the imperial palace.In front of the solemn palace, everyone put away their frenzy and cried out in sorrow. At this time, there was also a pessimistic atmosphere in the palace.Only Emperor Hirohito's eloquent statement just now can slightly dilute this depressed sadness.

"Your Majesty," Konoe Fummo looked up at the Emperor with a sincere face.

Yuren shook his hand and said: "Ministers, please be courageous. I am also very sad when the navy is defeated, but I will not lose hope! We still have an army and tens of millions of citizens. We still have hope. I heard that gambling The disciples will never lose hope until they lose their last dollar. Ministers, remember, since you have chosen to gamble, please continue to gamble!" After finishing speaking, the Emperor stood up with a smile on his face , stepped down from the throne, shook hands with the ministers one by one, and called their names one by one: "Mr. Konoe, work hard."

"Tojo-kun, don't give up hope."

Emperor Hirohito still maintains an intoxicating smile. Although his figure looks a little fragile, he is the emperor. As long as he appears in front of people, he will make them have an impulse to worship. Wei Wen rubbed his almost shriveled hands and said loudly, "Let's go out and see what the people expect from this war."

The autumn night in Tokyo is still sweltering, the air is full of moisture, and the sunset at dusk leaves the city with a blood-red brilliance. At this moment, like the blooming of cherry blossoms, although it is short-lived, it has such beauty once. Seems like enough.
