There was no snow in the winter of the fourth year of Jinghe, and at the beginning of the fifth year of Jinghe, it was the Lantern Festival, and the snowflakes in Kyoto were as big as a mat.
Standing in the courtyard, Li Yi seemed to hear a bell ringing in his ears.
Snowflakes fell one after another, and within a quarter of an hour, there was a snowman in the courtyard.
Ruyi held an umbrella and stood beside him quietly.
Zui Mo and Ruoqing walked over, looking at him with worried faces.
"Grandpa..." With tears in her eyes, Xiaohuan helped Li Yi sweep the snow off Li Yi's shoulders and head.
Second Miss Liu strode over, picked him up, and walked back to the room neatly.
She reached out to seal his acupoints, took off his coat roughly, threw him on the bed, and covered him with a thick quilt.
Turn around and close the door, all in one go.
…
The collapse of the emperor, the great mourning of the country.
Officials and dignitaries in the capital, regardless of their official position or rank, must fast for three days; within twenty-seven days, the soldiers and civilians in Beijing must pick off their crowns and wear plain onyx; they are not allowed to marry within one month, and they are not allowed to slaughter for forty-nine days. No fun is allowed; since the day of the great funeral in Kyoto, the bells of various temples and temples have been rung 30,000 times...
In the fifth year of Jinghe, there was only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there was no Lantern Festival.
The whole country mourns.
It was seven days after Li Yi saw Li Xuan alone again.
The clothes on his body are still gorgeous, but his appearance is very haggard, with chapped lips and unshaven beard. Of course, Li Yi himself is no better than him.
During these seven days, except for the ceremonies that he needed to attend, most of his time was spent in bed.
After sleeping for a long time, I have some headaches, and I still haven't recovered.
Mingzhu is much better than the two of them, but her eyes are dull and she is a little haggard. After the late emperor passed away, Li Xuan presided over the funeral and government affairs, and she needed to be steady.
"Two days ago, Concubine Cui Gui hanged herself in the court..." Li Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground with a hoarse voice, "Before she died, she still shouted loudly, this concubine didn't do anything to offend His Majesty, this concubine will go down to accompany you …”
He looked at Li Yi and asked, "Do you feel that this palace is much deserted than before?"
"This palace has always been deserted." Li Yi shook his head and murmured.
Li Xuan sighed, "I really don't like this place..."
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "When will you be enthroned?"
The country cannot be without a king for a day. Enemies from all over the world are waiting for you. The news of His Majesty's death will soon spread all over the world. To ascend the throne and stabilize the situation.
"Wait another month..." Li Xuan waved his hand, "I want to spend more time with my father, I haven't spent much time with him before..."
He turned his head to look at Mingzhu, and said, "I will trouble Mingzhu in matters of court."
…
Li Yi came out of the hall, and a figure was about to walk in.
"Sir." Li Han looked up at him and whispered something.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Li Yi always feels that Li Han is thinner than when he saw him last time.
Li Yi patted him on the shoulder, raised his head, and looked around. Under the gray sky, the entire palace was full of eunuchs and court ladies in plain clothes, bowing their heads and hurrying through. It was indeed much more deserted than before.
He didn't leave the palace directly, but went in another direction.
This is the harem, and foreign ministers are not allowed to enter without the emperor's will.
But there is one foreign minister exception.
In front of a certain palace, a court lady bowed respectfully and said, "Hold on a moment, Li Hou, I'll go and inform the empress."
Li Yi nodded and stood in front of the palace gate.
After a while, the maid came out and said, "Please come in, Marquis Li."
Li Yi walked into this smaller palace, and bowed slightly to a woman in palace costume sitting on the couch, "I've seen Concubine Yan."
"Lord Li, you don't need to be too polite." With a trace of tiredness in her brows, Concubine Yan held her forehead, pointed in one direction, and said, "Both of them are in the room, you can go and have a look."
Li Yi walked through a side door, and court ladies and eunuchs kept bowing to him.
In front of a room door, a maid whispered, "Your Highnesses haven't slept well these few days, and they just fell asleep."
"No problem."
Li Yi gently opened the door, and then slowly closed it. On a big bed in the room, two figures, one big and one small, hugged each other. Even in their sleep, their brows were tightly frowned.
Li Yi walked to the bed, his footsteps were light and silent.
Tsundere Lolita suddenly woke up from her dream. When she saw him, she was startled, and her eyes immediately filled with tears.
Wearing Hellokitty pajamas, she threw herself into Li Yi's arms, tears streaming from her eyes, and choked up, "Sir, my father is gone, I'm so scared..."
Her voice woke Yongning up, and Yongning, who was wearing a beautiful goat pajamas, crawled out of the bed, her eyes were slightly panicked, she held Shouning with one hand, and Li Yi with the other, tightly not letting go.
Sitting by the bed, Li Yi held them in his arms from left to right, and whispered: "Mr. is here, don't be afraid..."
He looked at the dark room, and the little face covered with pear blossoms in his arms, wiped away her tears, and said, "Hurry up and get dressed, sir will take you out of the palace."
"Really?" Tsundere Loli looked up at him, with tears still on her face.
"Really." Li Yi nodded.
Tsundere Loli left Li Yi's arms, lowered her head, and whispered, "Then, sir, turn around, I'm going to change clothes..."
Not long after, Li Yi walked out holding the hands of the two little girls.
Concubine Yan stood up and said slowly: "Take them out of the palace, this is not where they should stay."
Li Yi nodded, looked at her, and said, "Thank you, Concubine Yan..."
Concubine Yan waved her hand and walked deep into the palace.
To bring Shouning and Yongning out of the palace, all you need is Concubine Yan's permission and a word from Li Xuan. Concubine Yan has no objection to this. Li Yi asked an eunuch to give Li Xuan a message, and then took them out of the palace gate.
When he walked out of the palace gate, he looked back.
Thick dark clouds accumulated above the palace complex, making people breathless.
Concubine Yan was right, this deep palace was indeed not a place for them to stay.
…
Birth, old age, sickness and death are laws that no one can escape.
God is not fair, some people are born beggars, some people are born emperors.
God is also fair, whether it is a beggar or an emperor, they will all die in the end, impartial, neither side nor side.
The first emperor was loved and remembered by the people for his benevolent government. During his reign, he reformed several times to improve people's livelihood, support poor families, revise the tax law, and rectify military discipline.
Now that the first emperor passed away, a prosperous era came to an end, and the whole country mourned.
After one month, the new emperor will ascend the throne, which will be the beginning of a prosperous age.
A new prosperous age.
[Special episode] Emperor Jing
In the fifth year of Jinghe, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, heavy snow fell continuously in the thirteen prefectures of Gyeonggi Province, and the emperor collapsed in the Yangju Hall.
Huaguo, Xijing, Xijing Central Hospital, the entrance of the emergency room.
The eyes of the little girl around five or six years old were full of tears. She took a woman's hand and sobbed, "Mom, I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me, nothing would happen to Dad..."
The woman knelt down, gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said, "Xiaoyi, don't cry, I don't blame Xiaoyi..."
The door of the emergency room suddenly opened, and several doctors in white coats came out.
The beautiful woman immediately stood up and asked worriedly, "Doctor, how is he..."
"Temporarily out of danger." A doctor walking in front said something, shook his head again, and said: "The patient was hit on the head and is still in a coma. If he can wake up within 24 hours , there is no serious problem, if you can't wake up..."
The woman asked tremblingly, "What if you can't wake up?"
"The family members of the patients are asked to be mentally prepared."
The doctor said something, and the woman sat down again.
…
"Dad, wake up quickly, Xiaoyi doesn't want to eat cotton candy anymore, Xiaoyi wants Dad to wake up..." In the ward, the pale man was lying on the bed, and the little girl held his hand and whispered.
The woman opened the door and came in, knelt down, picked her up, and said, "Xiaoyi, I'm ready to go to school."
"Xiaoyi don't want to go to school, Xiaoyi wants daddy to wake up..." The little girl shook her head, and said stubbornly, "Daddy has been sleeping for a month, why is he still not waking up, adults can't stay in bed..."
The woman turned her face away, not to let the child see her tears fall, took a deep breath, and said, "Xiaoyi, Dad will sleep for a long, long time..."
"Mom is lying!" The little girl raised her head, looked at her stubbornly, and said, "I saw Daddy's finger move just now, and Daddy will wake up soon!"
"Xiaoyi!" The woman's complexion sank for the first time. Seeing the tears in the little girl's eyes, she could only sigh, hugged her up, and said softly, "Xiaoyi, shall we go to school?"
The little girl choked up and said, "Mom, Xiaoyi didn't lie, Dad's finger really moved!"
The woman closed her eyes and stared at the man's face on the hospital bed for a long time before turning around and walking out of the ward with the child in her arms.
"Where is this place, you, who are you?"
When she stepped out of the ward with one foot, a weak voice suddenly came from behind her.
She turned her head in disbelief and looked at the man sitting on the hospital bed.
The man on the hospital bed looked at her incredulously, with unconcealable surprise, and blurted out, "Concubine Liang!"
"dad!"
The little girl broke free from her mother's arms, ran to the hospital bed, and threw herself into the arms of the man.
"Xiaoyi, be careful..." The woman's complexion changed and she hurried over.
"Yongning..." The man looked at the little girl in his arms and murmured, his face suddenly showed pain, he scratched his head, and let out a low growl in his throat.
The woman's complexion changed drastically, and she asked: "What's wrong with you, what's wrong..., doctor, doctor..."
After a while, the man lowered his hand from his head, looked at the woman, shook his head, and said, "Zhen..., I'm fine."
"How could it be all right..." The woman looked even more anxious, and said, "You check again."
"It's really fine." The man got out of the hospital bed, hugged the little girl in his arms, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I felt as good as I do now."
"So that brat didn't lie to me..." He murmured in a low voice, looking at a small box in the ward, there was a figure shaking inside.
"Is this... TV?"
"Really?" The woman looked at him suspiciously.
The man looked at her and said with a smile, "It's really all right."
"If it's okay..." The woman squinted her eyes at him and asked, "Li Hong, tell me, which little vixen Liang Fei is?"
"—"
…
"Unbelievable..."
"This kind of thing can happen..."
"A miracle, really a miracle..."
In the hospital, a group of old men surrounded a middle-aged man with examination reports in their hands, admiring him.
Facing the dean of the central hospital and more than a dozen medical leaders, the man looked calm and asked with a smile, "Can we go?"
An old man looked him up and down for a while, then nodded and said: "Just sign this piece of paper and you can leave. However, just to be on the safe side, I will come back for a review in a week."
The man took the ballpoint pen he handed over, looked at it, and frowned.
With a casual glance, he caught a glimpse of something in the corner of the office, and strode over.
When everyone saw this scene, they looked over one after another.
He picked up a brush there, dipped it in ink, and wrote his name with the brush.
"Good word!"
At that moment, an old man's eyes suddenly lit up, looked at him and asked, "Which master in the calligraphy world did this gentleman learn from?"
"Li Yi."
After the man smiled, he picked up the little girl with one hand and the girl with the other, and strode away.
"Li Yi..." The old man stroked his beard and said doubtfully, "I've never heard of it..."
Walking out of the hospital entrance, the man looked at the towering tall buildings and the iron shells passing through the streets, his face was shaken.
"When did you learn calligraphy?" The woman turned her head, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Why don't I know?"
The man smiled and said, "A long time ago..."
The woman was about to speak when the cell phone in her pocket rang suddenly.
The man stared blankly at the phone in her hand, and murmured, "Thousand-mile transmission?"
With a smile on her face, the woman answered the phone and said, "Mom..., yes, he's awake, checked, there's nothing wrong, we'll be right back."
After hanging up the phone, I realized that the man had been looking at her.
She blushed slightly, and said angrily, "What are you looking at me for?"
The man smiled and said, "Because you look good."
"No seriousness!" The woman glared at him and said, "Are you hungry, let's go eat first."
The man shook his head and said, "I want to go to the library first."
The woman looked at him and asked uncertainly, "Now?"
The man nodded: "Now."
"Well, the provincial library is only two stops away from here." The woman nodded and said, "You have just been discharged from the hospital, and you should move around appropriately. Let's walk."
As soon as the words fell, a panicked voice suddenly came from inside the hospital.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief!"
A figure ran out of the hospital in a panic. When he passed by the man, his body suddenly froze. It was not because his conscience realized that he wanted to repent, but because a hand like iron pincers held his wrist. .
"Looking for death!" Shocked and angry, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed at the man's waist.
"don't want!"
The woman just came and let out a scream, and the dagger in the thief's hand fell into the man's hand.
The man held the little girl in one hand, threw the dagger aside, looked at the thief, and said coldly: "Presumptuous!"
The thief looked at him, felt a sense of oppression, and suddenly felt a surge of fear from the bottom of his heart. His back was drenched in cold sweat, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground.
"Wow! Daddy is amazing!" The little girl put her arms around the man's neck, her eyes were full of little stars, and kissed him hard on the face.
The woman beside him also looked at him with unbelievable eyes, and the beauty in her eyes was full of splendor.
The security guards of the hospital rushed out from the inside and controlled the thief. A young woman ran out and bowed to the man repeatedly. "The ID card and bank card are in the bag. Thank you so much..."
The man looked at her miniskirt and exposed half of her breasts, frowned and said, "In broad daylight, naked, how decent..."
The young woman looked up at him: "You..."
The man shook his head, "As a woman, how can you be so shameless?"
"Crazy!" The young woman glared at him, stepped on her high heels, and hurried away.
…
A moment later, the Provincial Library, the sightseeing elevator.
The man looked at the gradually shrinking figure below, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, I have to go to the library..." Walking out of the elevator, the woman shook her head and said, "I'll go buy any books you want. You and Xiaoyi sit here for a while."
The man shook his head and said, "Just walk around here, and I'll be back in a while."
Beside a bookshelf somewhere, a man picked up a book and murmured: "Apollo project, Amsterdam, moon landing..."
"Cosmos, black holes, interstellar travel..."
"TNT, atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb..."
…
He walked to another place and picked up a newspaper casually: "iphone x is discontinued, Cang Jingkong announced his marriage..."
The woman walked to his side and asked doubtfully, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing." The man smiled, closed his eyes, opened them quickly, and said, "Let's go home."
"Stop buying books?"
"I won't buy it."
The man nodded, held the little girl in his arms, and held her hand. When he was walking towards the elevator, he glanced at the rest area, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.
The woman looked back at him: "What's wrong?"
"Meet a friend." The man put the little girl down and said, "Xiaoyi and mother will stay here for a while, and father will come soon."
He walked towards the rest area, walked up to a young man, pointed to the computer on the table, and asked with a smile, "Little brother, can you lend me the computer?"
The young man raised his head, nodded sleepily, and stepped aside.
The man sat down, opened the browser, entered the word "Jing Guo" in the search box, and clicked search...
""The Most Sacred Confucianism", "The Little Scholar"..." The man clicked on several webpages, shook his head, and closed the webpages.
"Thank you, I still don't know the name of the little brother?" He smiled and stretched out his hand. The young man froze for a moment, reached out to shake his hand, and said, "Li Yi."
"Nice to meet you." The man smiled at him, the young man nodded and turned to sit down.
The man raised his foot and kicked his ass, and the young man lay on the ground in an indecent position.
"Let you date my daughter, and charge some interest first..." The man gave him a vicious look, then turned and left gracefully.
The young man got up from the ground in astonishment, stared blankly at the elegant man in a suit leaving, and thought secretly.
It's just that I came to the library to take a nap with the air conditioner, and unexpectedly encountered a psychopath...
Elevator door.
The middle-aged man picked up the little girl, held her hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go home."
The little girl looked at him and asked worriedly, "Dad won't sleep anymore?"
The man touched her head and said with a smile, "No more."
The woman beside him cast a glance at him, and said: "Let go of you now, go back and tell me honestly, who is Liang Fei!"
