Chapter 332 Night Tour(1/2)
According to the "history" he knew, after Tang Shunzong Li Song came to power, he caused a lot of trouble with the so-called "two kings and eight Sima".
There are also some achievements in trying to get rid of the control of eunuchs.
Maybe these names are unfamiliar to people, but when it comes to Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan in "Eight Sima", probably not many people don't know them.
The former "Inscription on a Humble Room" has been famous throughout the ages, and is known to the world together with Bai Juyi.
The latter is one of the famous "Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties". Together with Han Yu of his generation, Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi of later generations, they are also known as the four great writers of eternity.
The two of them were called "Liu Liu" together, and their literary names shine in the world and will shine through the ages.
These two people, as well as most people in this group, have enough writing skills and character to become role models for the world.
But when it comes to governing the country, that's not necessarily the case.
Although "history" still has an evaluation of their actions as "everlasting innovation".
But in Chen Yi's opinion, it was a bit like a farce.
It was quite a fun affair, but within a few months it ended in a disastrous failure.
This intellectual group was all demoted from the capital. One of the two kings, Wang San, was demoted and died of illness. Wang Shuwen was demoted again and again. This was not enough, and was finally sentenced to death.
The other eight people were all demoted to state Sima, which is the origin of the so-called "Two Kings and Eight Sima".
The big boss of this group, Tang Shunzong, was not only forced to abdicate by his son and the eunuchs, but after being the prince for 25 years, he finally ascended the throne. Within a few months, he became the supreme emperor, and he died just a few months later.
Although there are different theories about the cause of death, one of them is that it was caused by eunuchs.
But after Tang Shunzong's son came to power, he picked the fruit of his grandfather and I, and easily achieved a "Yuanhe Zhongxing" situation, which is very beautiful.
The turning point for the failure of the "Yongzhen Reform" seems to be that Wang Shuwen, one of the two kings, wanted to seize the eunuch and military power and cornered people...
Sure enough, Wang Da opened his mouth and sighed: "Yes, this move really wants to stab the eunuch in the heart. How can that eunuch Ju Wenzhen tolerate him?"
"His death is not a pity. It is terrible that he will harm Your Majesty!"
Wang Dayuan glared angrily, with a hint of power: "You don't know something. This traitor is extremely treacherous. He united with the eunuchs a month ago and summoned the scholar Wei Cigong and others to the Golden Palace to write an imperial edict on the Zen throne, forcing His Majesty to establish the throne.
The prince of Guangling County is the crown prince!"
"ah!"
"What should we do!?"
"Well, if His Majesty is trapped in the deep palace, isolated and helpless, what can he do? He was so angry that he fainted in the Golden Palace. Now the eunuch doesn't dare to push too hard. It has been delayed, but I'm afraid..."
Wang Da shook his head and sighed repeatedly.
Chen Yi remained silent but frowned.
If he knew the history well, Shunzong abdicated in less than a month after being forced into the palace.
Some unofficial historians even said that he had been assassinated at this time, and false rumors spread to the world that he abdicated due to illness.
After working as the "dead emperor" for several months, news of his death suddenly came out.
It seems that there is not much time left for him.
If Shunzong is done playing, what else will he do?
"Hey! I just hate that I am of such low status that I am unable to save your majesty from the fire and water. I am so ashamed of your father!"
Xin Pingping slapped the case furiously and burst into tears.
"I didn't have any other intention when I talked about this matter with my two brothers. I just wanted to remind them that the situation in Chang'an is treacherous and undercurrents are turbulent at this time. I'm afraid it might be dangerous, so it's better to be cautious. It's best to report it as soon as possible.
If you are on duty, you will return immediately without any delay. As for the rest..."
Wang Da shook his head and said, "It's not something we can do."
What was originally a joyful reunion banquet has become very boring.
Several people had no intention of drinking anymore, and soon the banquet dispersed. Wang Da arranged a side courtyard for the three of them to rest.
On the second day, he sent carriages and horses to send the three of them on the road early, and repeatedly told them to leave early and return early.
Along the way, Xin and Cheng were deeply troubled. It wasn't until Xin'an, where they stayed in an old family home to rest, that they gradually recovered.
But then I suddenly realized that what I saw along the way, and where I was staying at this time, were exactly the same as what Wang Zhen, the guest in green clothes, said.
This old friend was the Zhao family in Xin'an he said. When we just had dinner, there were no mistakes in the dishes on the table.
Although they were shocked, they didn't think much about him at this time.
Until late at night, Chen Yi was running the Tongren Kung Fu in the wing, accumulating inner energy bit by bit.
In the transparent spiritual platform, you can still hear the long sighs coming from Cheng Shilian's room, and the low-pitched curses coming from Xin Gongping's room from time to time.
"call……"
"call……"
Near the third watch, there was a sudden sound of horses neighing, dogs barking, and roosters crowing.
Suddenly a strong wind blew outside the house.
Outside the window, the dark and twisted tree shadows seemed to be swayed from side to side by invisible hands.
Not long after, those animals that screamed suddenly became quiet again.
At night, there was silence.
The movement just now didn't wake anyone up.
Chen Yi's eyes suddenly opened, his eyes turned and fell out of the window.
"Creak... squeak..."
A faint sound came from nearby.
Chen Yi's eyelids were slightly closed, and a light flashed in his eyes.
That was the wing room where Xin Pingping lived.
A hand was resting on the door of the room, and he slowly pushed the door panel open. There was a slow creaking sound, which came out faintly in this silent night, and was particularly clear.
The night in ancient times was very dark.
If you don't light a lamp, you really can't see anything.
Faintly, a dark figure moved and walked out of the room.
Pushing the door open with one hand, holding a lamp with the other hand, the small and dim flames danced, reflecting a face...
His eyes were closed tightly, and his face, illuminated by the firelight, was pale and yellow, giving off a hint of weirdness.
This person is Xin Pingping.
He actually closed his eyes tightly, held a lamp, and walked out of the room.
The small flame was beating wildly in the strong wind, but it was not extinguished no matter what.
Mr. Xin's eyes were closed tightly, as if he was in a deep sleep, but he could still see things. He moved his steps step by step and moved forward slowly.
"Gah..."
There was another soft sound.
Cheng Shilian's door also opened.
However, his eyes were wide open and he looked very awake.
When I saw the man holding the candle, I was surprised and inexplicable.
"pungent……"
He just opened his mouth, but swallowed his voice again.
He murmured in a low voice: "I have heard that people suffer from dreamwalking syndrome. It is due to the invasion of evil spirits and the flying soul, which makes people unable to sleep peacefully. They walk in dreams like wandering souls. If they wake up, the soul will be in shock.
I have been stupid since then. Could it be that Brother Xin is suffering from this disease?"
"No! I have to follow Brother Xin and don't disturb anyone!"
After saying that, he carefully followed Xin Pingping behind him.
At this time, Xin Gongping held up a small lamp, closed his eyes, and walked straight out of the Zhao Mansion.
Passing by the Zhao Mansion, there is a side courtyard, which is where the Zhao Mansion raises livestock and poultry.
Cheng Shilian suddenly found that the chickens and dogs inside were huddled tightly in the corner, shivering but not making a sound.
The horses they came with were also tied up in the stables, their hooves tapping restlessly.
At this time, the sky and the earth were in darkness, with only the howling wind and swaying shadows of trees.
A faint candle flame danced, and the person holding the candle was as stiff and slow as a zombie.
Very eerie and weird.
Even though Cheng Shilian was familiar with the books of sages and had an upright mind, he could not help but stand on end.
He was also shaken as to whether Xin Pingping suffered from dreamwalking syndrome.
