Tang Dynasty woman

Chapter 7 Confused and Confused (2) ([-])
While complaining, Emperor Yang turned his head and saw a brocade tent set up for appreciating flowers on the stage, in which a banquet was neatly arranged; playing xiao and singing and dancing, but he was having a good time.Reluctantly, all the Qionghua trees fell on the stage at this time, Emperor Yangdi was very disappointed, he wanted to go back to the palace, but he failed the excited intention of coming, wanted to sit down and drink, but felt that he couldn't arouse his interest.

Emperor Yangdi was depressed for a while, the anger in his chest couldn't be restrained any longer, he roared: "There is a strong wind blowing down there, it is clearly a monster of a flower, I will not be allowed to play with it, I will kill me with true anger! If you don't let it go Cut it off, why vent the hatred in my chest!" After saying that, Emperor Yang ordered to cut it off.

All the ladies rushed up to persuade: "there is only one Qionghua in the world. If you cut it off, all the seeds in the world will be extinct. Why don't you keep it for the next year?"

Yangdi became even more annoyed when he heard this: "I am a majestic emperor, even if I can't see it, who will I keep it for? This year has been like this, so what's the point in the next year? It doesn't matter if this kind of thing is eliminated!" cut.All the eunuchs who dared to disobey, immediately raised the pumpkin axe and started to chop a viburnum, which is rare in the sky and rare in the world, to pieces.

Mysterious Elixir

After chopping down Qionghua alive, Emperor Yangdi was still not relieved, and angrily took Empress Xiao and others to return to the lost building.After getting off the jade chariot and entering the inner room, Emperor Yangdi was still furious and furious. His courtiers were so frightened that they were sweating profusely. I don't know why.

At this moment, a Taoist priest was suddenly surrounded by the Royal Forest Army, who came in and said: "This Taoist priest is very rude. He stops at the gate of the palace and refuses to leave no matter what.

Sure enough, when the Taoist saw Emperor Yangdi, he was not polite at all, and said coldly: "I am a foreigner. I only know longevity, but I don't know what the emperor is! I don't know what is supreme!" Then he did not wait for Emperor Yang to get angry. Said, "I cultivated my heart and tempered my nature in the deep mountains. I gave my life because I saw people in the world greedy and lustful; I had nothing to do in the mountains. I picked a variety of flowers by chance and combined a kind of elixir to save the world. , so I strolled to this street to sell pills."

As soon as Emperor Yangdi heard the word elixir, his heart moved, and he asked angrily, "What are the benefits of your elixir?" The Taoist said, "Consolidating essence is the best." He was so happy that he returned to anger, and hurriedly said: "Since your elixir can strengthen the essence, you don't need to sell it elsewhere. Come and offer it to me. If it is really effective, I will not hesitate to reward you!" The Taoist listened , didn't say anything, just nodded.Then he untied a small gourd on his back, poured out a few pills, and handed them to the attendant.A close attendant presented it to Emperor Yangdi. Yangdi saw that the pill was only as big as a grain of rice, and it was only ten if he counted it.Emperor Yangdi couldn't help laughing, and said: "Just a few pills that are so small and small, how much energy can you hold?" The Taoist listened, but he didn't take it seriously, and said mysteriously, "Golden pills only need one I will give you some grains when you run out." Emperor Yang asked, "Where do you live, and where can I find you?" The Taoist said, "It's not difficult to find me, just go to Fanliguan and ask. I know." After saying that, the long-sleeved fluttered away to the east.

When Emperor Yangdi returned to the Milou, Empress Xiao was afraid that her emperor's husband would be unhappy, so she hurriedly brought a group of wives and beauties to sit around and take turns to persuade her to drink.Then the drunken-eyed Emperor Yangdi was escorted to the transfer gate and sent to the Sanchunsorrow Tent.As soon as Emperor Yang entered the tent, he didn't want to sleep at all, he kept yelling that he was thirsty.Wu Jiangxian, who was serving at the side, hurriedly delivered a cup of fragrant tea. Emperor Yangdi was eager to try the elixir, so he took one and put it in his mouth. When it is in the hand, it is as hard as iron, and when it reaches the tip of the tongue, it is immediately like a ball of ice and snow. There is no need to chew it, and it melts into a mouthful of body fluid.Emperor Yangdi was already in high spirits in an instant, his whole body was motivated, he was no longer dizzy or drunk, and he was a hundred times stronger than usual.But Emperor Yangdi had fun day and night, and unconsciously, he had already eaten up a few golden pills, and then he was still depressed and his interest declined, so he hurriedly dispatched a few eunuchs who followed the day before yesterday and knew the Taoist, to the Fanli Temple Search for Taoists.

Unexpectedly, I went to the temple to ask, and there were no Taoist priests selling medicine.Emperor Yangdi didn't bother to think about comprehending something, he just hurriedly ordered local officials to look for immortals, no matter Taoist priests, but anyone who sold elixir, and bought them one by one.Everything in the world is not false, it is true, true is false, there is a purpose for this person to seek the elixir, a group of fake immortals who burn lead and smelt mercury, immediately make fake elixir of musk aconite and other hot medicines to deceive Emperor Yang.There are also some Taoist priests who come to the gate of the palace to offer offerings in neatly dressed plumage and crane cloaks; The real immortal, and then sold in the market.This one costs thousands of gold, and that one costs tens of thousands of guan. The magistrates pressed hard because of the imperial decree, and they were afraid of missing the real immortal, so they had to buy them everywhere.It didn't take long for the pills to be sent into the palace like dung.Emperor Yangdi didn't care whether it was good or bad, he just took the left pill and the right pill into his stomach.Taking it today and tomorrow, these yang-inducing heat medicines made him dry mouth all day long, his teeth were black and his lips were scorched, and his chest seemed to be on fire, making him very uncomfortable.Seeing tea, it is like nectar and fine wine, and I can't stop wanting to eat it.

The imperial doctors racked their brains to cool him down and relieve his dryness, and they didn't know how many people were tired and how much money they lost. Only then did Emperor Yang recover his body.

Unaware that the flames of war are already raging

As soon as Emperor Yangdi regained his energy, he immediately invited all his wives, beauties and Empress Xiao to gather in the moon temple and hold a feast regardless of the weather.It was May weather at this time, and the shelves were full of tea leaves, reflecting the moonlight, and the snow seemed to be white, sending out bursts of moving fragrance.There was a routine song and dance, and the whole wine was drunk until the dusk and the moon. Emperor Yang was drunk from eating. Present."

Emperor Yangdi squinted his drunken eyes, took a look at the letter in the eunuch's hand, and saw that it read:
Sun Yuji, the acting king who stayed behind in Xijing, presented his head to His Majesty for the first time: Since Shengjia moved south, Liu Wuzhou, a native of Jingcheng, killed Wang Rengong, the prefect of Mayi, and won more than ten thousand people. He attacked Loufan County and occupied Fenyang Palace. It was very rampant, and in the past he captured court ladies and bribed Turks.Turks benefited, and they established Wu Zhou as Dingyang Khan, and their military power increased. Recently, they captured Dingxiang and other counties, proclaimed themselves emperor, and changed their Yuan to Tianxing.He also linked up with the Shanggu thief Song Jingang and the Lishan thief Wei Diao'er, which is very tyrannical.Since now, Chen Xiaosi, the Prime Minister of Yanmen County, has been beheaded, and Li Palace has been stolen, with the intention of swallowing the world.Sun You is cowardly and has no good soldiers and good generals, so he can't defend Xijing;Today is dying, and the eunuchs are dispatched to kowtow to the face of the sky, looking forward to the emperor to remember the importance of the former emperor's society, and to dispatch capable ministers and supervising troops to rescue them early will still be able to support the collapse of the building and turn the tide from the collapse; On the delayed day, the thirteen counties on the right will be closed, which is not owned by the state!The table is in a hurry, and it is extremely urgent to wait for orders!
Emperor Yangdi's drunken eyes were over, and he was shocked and said: "I only thought it was a group of rat thieves, but unexpectedly, it became so rampant by connecting with Hu Nu!"

Yu Shiji said: "Liu Wuzhou was originally a small thief. It was only because the frontier generals had no talents and did not do their best to suppress and arrest them, so that they developed the uncontrollable trend today. For the current plan, the frontier generals must be severely punished and sent to the court. If you are a trusted minister, lead your troops to protect the important place in Xijing, then Chang'an will be safe."

Emperor Yangdi then asked: "Who is guarding the border now?" Yu Wenda said: "The soldiers and horses of the thirteen counties on the right of the Guanyou are under the control of Tang Gong Li Yuan, Wei Shaoqing." After hearing this, Emperor Yang couldn't help being furious: "Li Yuan He was originally the aunt and nephew of Empress Dowager Dugu. I have played with him in the palace since I was a child, and I have been so close to him. That's why I have given him the power of the frontier. I hate that this Li Yuan is actually just a mediocre man, and he has ruined his life and lost his support. If he becomes a thief, he can really be killed!" So he sent an order to the imperial envoys to Taiyuan to imprison Li Yuan and come to Jiangdu to interrogate him.It was also decreed that Gao Deru, a senior official in Chaosan, should be the prime minister of Xihe County, and more troops should be deployed to protect Xijing.

Emperor Yang made these two decrees, and he hurriedly retreated into the harem only as a major event.

When Empress Xiao asked about Xijing, Emperor Yangdi said: "I have sent Gao Deru to lead the army to rescue, and it will not be difficult to recover." Empress Xiao was shocked and said: "I know that Gao Deru is just a mediocre person. Even Turkic is so powerful, how can he resist it?"

Emperor Yangdi smiled and said: "Your wife need not worry, the world is big. I have Tokyo as my foundation, and Jiangdu as a tour, which is enough for me and my wife to have fun; even if we lose Xijing, we will only lose a piece of land in Chang'an. It's not a big deal, so why should the royal wife be angry! Let's get some wine to enjoy the joy in front of me!" After hearing this, Xiao Hou didn't dare to say any more, so she had to call her left and right to watch the wine.

Emperor Yangdi was holding his wine glass to drink, when suddenly another eunuch came to play and said, "King Yue, Tokyo, also has a table to play." He said, and presented the table.Emperor Yangdi's drunken eyes were slanted, so he saw the writing on it again:
Sun Tongji, the minister of the Yue King who stayed in Tokyo, made a memorial to His Majesty for the first time: Last year, Yang Xuangan rebelled against Liyang, and Mongolia sent generals Yu Wenshu and Qu Tutong to lead his troops to suppress and arrest them in order to punish the heavens. Fortunately, they were defeated; but Xuangan died , and Li Mi, the mastermind, has a lot of people and is even more rampant.

First recapture the Luocang, and then occupy the Luokou warehouse, all the grain and rice gathered were robbed.Recently, it is very urgent to pursue Zhang Xiwen, insult the emperor, and capture Tokyo.Fu Qi dispatched the Heavenly Soldiers early to protect the root of Luoyang. If there is a delay, if there is a mistake, where will the holy car return?Immediately terrified, eagerly waiting for orders!
Emperor Yangdi read the call to action again, and saw that it said:

General Li Mi, I would like to declare to the world with great righteousness:

Emperor Sui used deceit to make a living and inherited the great rule, and his crimes were overwhelming, innumerable.Disturbance of the family relationship, murdering the crown prince is one of the crimes; killing one's father to stand on one's own feet is the second crime; killing one's younger brother with a false edict is the third crime; Five things: Listening to traitors and sycophants is the sixth crime; mobilizing the people in the city, conquering the Liao Dynasty and arguing for military affairs is the seventh crime; promoting the government, digging rivers, making civil works all over the world, abusing the people endlessly, the eighth crime; excessive licentiousness , wandering and forgetting to return, ignoring political affairs, the nine crimes; political troubles and burdens, the people living in dire straits, ignorance of sympathy, the ten crimes.With these ten crimes, why do you rule the world?It can be said that the bamboos of the Nanshan Mountains are full of crimes; the waves of the East China Sea are overwhelming!Mi Jin does not dare to be self-absorbed, and is willing to choose virtue to be the king of the world; fight against thieves with righteousness, hope for water to revitalize teachers, and bring peace to the world and save lives.When the call to arms arrives, implement it as soon as possible, Chechetbu!
Emperor Yang was shocked when he saw it, and said, "Who is Li Mi, but he dares to spy on Tokyo? With such wild words, I wish I could eat his meat raw and skin him alive!" I had no choice but to sigh helplessly: "If God's will is here, what can the rat do to me!" As he said, he still picked up the wine glass to drink.Zhengnai wine can't solve the real sorrow, drinking and eating, in the end, it's still more worrying.From then on, Emperor Yangdi also knew that God's will had gone, so he blindly dissipated his body, wearing no clothes or clothes every day, and even more reluctant to have fun with the beauties in the palace day and night to relieve his sorrow.
