Prison Dragon

Chapter 181

From now on, there will be no Marquis of Disobedience in the world, nor will there be a man named Yang You.

Not to mention the legends he has experienced, those struggles in despair and pain, and a love that let go in the mud.

No one would know that a black dragon was once imprisoned in the underground of the dynasty.

There is nothing left, people die like a lamp goes out, I only now understand the meaning of this sentence.

I lay on top of him and cried for a long time, until the body under his hands was cold and stiff, Yang Yuchun patted my back and made me stand up.

Yang Zheng and I were already weeping, but he was very calm, but his eyes were slightly red, "It's time for His Majesty to bury him."

I stepped aside, and he carried Violent Hou into the house, and Yang Zheng and I followed behind.

In fact, all the expenses after the death of the disobedient Hou were prepared, we dealt with them quickly, and Yang Yuchun took out a black costume.

Except that there is no embroidered dragon pattern, everything is the same as the imperial costume.

Speaking of which, he has been calling His Majesty all the time today, but I don't want to be troublesome. As a subject, as an old friend, or as a person who loves the disobedient prince, he should and can do this.

Yang Zheng was crying until he was sobbing, sitting on the chair and didn't care about anything.

I wiped away my tears, helped Yang Yuchun, changed clothes for the disobedient Hou, and combed his hair with sawdust water to tie it on his head. Yang Yuchun took a green jade cicada and put it in his mouth. with.

After everything was done, he carried the disobedient Hou into the coffin, and we put all the funeral objects in it together.

I don't have a lot of gold and silver, they are all the things that the disobedient Hou likes. I put all the books he reads in his ears.

This is the large coffin carried out by the disobedient Hou when he surrendered. Now, Yang Yuchun has found a craftsman to carve it again, and finally used it to hold his body and soul.

If his soul hadn't dissipated.

Yang Yuchun slowly closed the lid of the coffin, and the disobedient Hou Hanxiao's face gradually disappeared into the dark gap.

Yang Zheng relied on me to barely stand to restrain her grief. I held back my tears and stroked her back.

Yang Yuchun nailed the lid of the coffin with seven nails, and finally caressed the pattern on the hall with nostalgia.

"It's time for you to announce the good news to His Majesty." He said with his back to me.

I saluted the couple and walked out of the general's mansion.

The daylight was just right today, and the shops selling goods along the street were very lively. Three children chased each other with wooden swords and bumped into me. I touched the leading child and gave them three copper coins to buy snacks.

No one knows that the disobedient Marquis who once wanted to protect the capital and the country is dead. He has never heard of fireworks in the world, and everyone is concerned about their own lives.

Will he be sad?No one knows the choices he made.

The shopkeeper who carried the load stopped to talk to the farmer and took away a handful of vegetables. The woman with the child begged her husband to buy a flower. pass me by.

I stood alone in the bustling and busy scene, and suddenly understood something.

I don't think he'll be sad, he's just the kind of guy who doesn't do anything to be remembered.

When I returned to the palace, His Majesty and the Queen were waiting for me.

"Is he dead?" asked His Majesty.

I nodded, knelt on the ground, took the dragon scale out of my arms, and handed it over to the eunuch, asking him to pass it on to His Majesty.

"Chun Shi said that you stole His Majesty's treasure, but I still don't believe it," the queen said generously, with a sense of pity on me, "I never thought you would be so rebellious and bully your majesty for the sake of the deposed emperor!"

Speaking of it, the queen's father seems to be Zhuo Xiang from the previous dynasty. People are really strange things. Zhuo Xiang has lived in two dynasties. His son Zhuo Xinhong lived in seclusion in the mountains after he surrendered. The daughter became the springboard for the father in the new dynasty and became the queen.

I don't intend to accuse any of them of their behavior, but I can't help but lament the impermanence of the world.

"Mu Yun." His Majesty looked at me disappointedly, "What are you doing with it?"

I didn't speak, just looked at His Majesty quietly.

His Majesty paused, and said to the Queen, "Zitong, you should step back first."

"Your Majesty, your concubine..."

His Majesty's eyes were full of undeniable oppression, the Queen led her people back, leaving only His Majesty and I confronting each other in the hall.

"Now you can talk?"

I bowed my head, "Hou Wei said he wanted to meet the Dragon God."

His Majesty sneered, "So? You betrayed me because of him?"

"Your servant is guilty!" I kowtowed, "I'm about to die, my servant pitifully disobeyed and stole His Majesty's dragon scales, please punish me."

His Majesty came down from the high platform and stood beside me. He lifted my chin with his hand and forced me to look up, "How do you know that dragon scales can summon the dragon god?"

I licked my lips and said nothing.

His Majesty suddenly realized, "Yes, he must have told you that the Yang family has always been guarded by a black dragon in the legend, so what about him, have you seen it?"

"No." I was hesitant to tell the truth about Longlin, but I also felt that the words of the disobedient Hou may not be credible, maybe his eyesight was blurred, or he was deceiving himself?

"He went west before he could be summoned."

Hearing this, His Majesty was relieved, knelt down and looked at me, touched my face, and said gently, "This time, even if he bewitched you, admit your mistake, so as not to be punished more."

I don't want to deceive Your Majesty, but even more I don't want to blame the disobedient Hou. It's not his fault. After he refused, he never mentioned it again. What happened today was all voluntary by the slaves."

"Why?" His Majesty clasped my neck and looked at me coldly, "I can't compare to a disobedient prince?"

"He is far inferior to you," I said firmly, meeting his piercing gaze, "I just don't want him to have any regrets in this world."

"Is he that good?" His Majesty asked quickly.

I looked at him quietly, "Your Majesty also knows, he has always been very good."

His Majesty suddenly stopped talking, and looked at me quietly, the look in his eyes changed many times, and finally pushed me with some pain, pushed me to sit on the ground, and flung my sleeves out.

Later I heard that the Empress wanted to betroth me to the guard of the Xuanwu Gate, but His Majesty refused. In the end, I was beaten thirty times and sent to Tzu Chi Temple to become a nun.

Tzu Chi Temple is located in the southern outskirts of the capital, and it is dedicated to housing those concubines who died without heirs.

I was the first to be sent here in the new dynasty, but I am not a concubine, and His Majesty even gave me hair to practice, so it is a bit different.The queen sent someone to watch over the Tzu Chi Temple and restricted my entry and exit.But I am a wild girl who grew up in the countryside, and I have been with His Majesty for so long in wars. I have been to Xiliang, and I have traveled with His Majesty's army to put down the bandits.

Although he doesn't know martial arts, it is more than enough to climb over walls and trees.

I used to think that staying in the palace with His Majesty was the best life, but now I want to see more of the world of mortals.

I once saw a man next to the original prosecutor's office. He looked very similar to the rebellious Hou. I thought he should be a relative of the rebellious Hou.

Perhaps one of his two missing brothers.

I saw that he was wearing ordinary clothes and invited him to drink a cup of tea.

He asked me why I asked him to drink tea.

I said, look at you like an old friend.

He may have heard my rumor somewhere and called out my name, Mu Yun.

I smiled, and he asked me again how the situation of the old man I mentioned has been in the past few years.

"Seriously ill, the king is suspicious, all officials are on guard, and the palace people are watching, maybe it's not good." I looked at his face similar to that of the rebellious marquis, and couldn't help but think of that snowy day when I brought a group of palace people together. Go to Youzhi Palace and give him something.

The moment I opened the door, snowflakes fluttered in the air, and he greeted me like a banished fairy.

"But in the end he has his own guards and relatives to accompany him, and he has also untied the knots in his heart for many years. I don't think he will be unhappy when he sees the world is clean and peaceful."

The man nodded and asked me when I would be buried in disobedience.

I told him the time and the route to take the coffin out of town, and he thanked him and left.

I have only been in Tzu Chi Temple for less than ten days, and His Majesty called me back, but this time I was conferred the title of Zhaoyi, a real member of the harem, which I originally refused.

His Majesty knew my whereabouts in Tzu Chi Temple, and asked me if I would like to visit the Palace often.

I answered yes, he said that when I become a concubine, I can often go out of the palace.

After all, I have to help him with some things that are inconvenient for him to handle, or that need to be contacted in private.

I can't really say no to his request.

The queen is pregnant, she only thinks about the child, and has no time to take care of me, so I have nothing to do.

Before the disobedient Marquis was buried, an ordinary funeral was held for him as usual, which was held in the ancestral temple of Qi State. His Majesty did not treat him too harshly, and personally led the ministers to express condolences in front of his spirit.

Your Majesty's elder brother Jin Wang Liu Hui should be wearing court clothes, but he wears sackcloth and filial piety, which is the courtesy of a courtier to a monarch.

His Majesty's face was very ugly, and no one thought that the emperor's brother, King Jin, would embarrass him.

A eunuch pulled King Jin up. He cried with tears all over his face, and scolded the disobedient Hou viciously for a while, saying that he was not decisive enough to kill the rebellious officials and thieves, he was indecisive, cowardly and kind, Threatened everywhere.

If it wasn't in front of all the officials, His Majesty would definitely quarrel with King Jin.

Although their brothers seldom quarrel, their relationship is not very harmonious. His Majesty said that King Jin has always loved him very much, but now he just treats him a little colder. He still respects his elder brother very much.

King Jin reprimanded Hou Yitong for his disobedience, and pointed at Yang Yuchun and yelled at him. This time, he didn't hold back, and directly scolded Yang Yuchun as a slave with two surnames.

Yang Yuchun was so affected that he knelt there motionless.

King Jin looked up to the sky after cursing and sighed: "Time is not with me!"

After speaking, he bumped his head to death on the coffin of the disobedient Hou.

There was another war, Yang Yuchun didn't want to delay the moment when the disobedient Marquis was buried in the soil, so he led his people to send the coffin out of the city first, and His Majesty stayed in the capital to deal with the funeral affairs of the King of Jin.

"Actually, I have known for a long time that my brother has the will to die." His Majesty said to me with red eyes, "I know, he has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and cannot accept me and my father..."

I took his hand and nodded silently, led him back to the palace to change clothes, and informed the Ministry of Rites to prepare for King Jin's funeral.

That night I heard that someone jumped the bridge facing the coffin and drowned when he passed Lishui by Weiminghou.

Later, Yang Zheng entered the palace and told me that they secretly salvaged the body, and that person was none other than Yang Xiu, the sixth younger brother of the Marquis of Disobedience.

They buried Yang Xiu in Yang You's tomb.

It was more than 20 years later when I knew the news. Beihai general Yang Yuchun died of illness in Guangwu Pass, leaving only Yang Zheng and their two sons and daughters.People who have experienced the change of dynasties have either retired or died one after another. His Majesty's health is also declining, and the prince has taken over the heavy burden of the court.

Later, His Majesty passed away, and I had no heirs, so I should have become a monk, but I told the prince that I wanted to guard the imperial tomb, so he let me live in the imperial tomb.

I've said everything you want to hear.

I looked at the person sitting across from me and said.

He is really good-looking, he is the best-looking person I have ever seen, even more beautiful than the disobedient Hou who left a deep impression in my memory.

He was dressed in black with dragon patterns embroidered on it. After listening to my long narrative, he stood up and poured me a glass of water.

I never thought that I would see him at the end of my life.
