    Although a tea cup was broken, Tang Song still felt that the depression in his chest was not going away, so he turned around and punched the wall hard.

    The thick wall remained motionless, but his hands were dripping with blood. Looking at the blood flowing out and feeling the bone-piercing pain, Karamatsu felt a lot better.

    "Hey, who provoked you again?" Along with this question, there was an exclamation.

    Taiping stepped in from the outside. Standing at the door behind her was Tang Yuan. That exclamation came from her mouth.

    Nowadays, there is no hostess in the Tang Song Mansion, and the old father Tang Daren is busy working at the Hongwenyin Society in the capital of God. Tang Yuan, the elder sister, naturally takes on the task of welcoming and sending her off.  This time when Taiping came to see Tang Song, he happened to witness him smashing the tea cup first and then the wall.

    In Tang Yuan¡¯s mind, since the lawsuit she fought for in Xiangzhou, the image of her younger brother Tang Song has become unusually tall. He has become both her support in real life and the most important source of her psychological security.  It was he who made the originally dilapidated home look brand new, and it was he who changed the family's life from having difficulty in food and clothing to being rich and fulfilling.

    As for this time after arriving in the divine capital, Tang Yuan felt as if he was dreaming. There was such a nice house with an ice cellar in Luoyang North City, and it was actually a gift from the emperor.  Her younger brother Tang Song had become famous all over the world, and among the people who came and went in the house, she was even more stunned - Tang Yuan, who had been trembling with fear when meeting the county magistrate before, could now treat Shangguan Duizhao as a close sister. Not only had she just accompanied her  The person who came in next was the most famous princess of this dynasty.  My younger brother has recently become an official

    In short, Karamatsu is responsible for the changes he has brought to this family.  As a result, his image and abilities were infinitely elevated to the point of being almost mythical in Tang Yuan's heart.  Because she believed so much in his abilities, Tang Yuan, a simple-minded woman, couldn't even imagine what her younger brother Tang Song couldn't do.  Unexpectedly, besides being proud of the spring breeze, Karamatsu would also be in such a gloomy mood.

    Now, when I first see such a scene, it¡¯s not a big deal.  Tang Yuan, a kind-hearted woman who was almost cowardly, was still frightened. Her younger brother was the absolute backbone of the family. He Tang Yuan was frightened first by Tang Song's actions, and then by his own thoughts. After exclaiming  When she finally came to her senses, she immediately ran into the room with her skirt in hand, grabbing Karamatsu's hand before Taiping entered the door first.

    Before he could speak, Tang Yuan's tears fell down.  Then he repeatedly ordered people to get hot water and the medicine for injuries that were always available at home He suddenly disturbed a minor incident and turned the whole back house upside down.

    Tang Songyuan wanted to say something else, but after seeing Tang Yuan's unstoppable tears, he still didn't say anything.  I just reassured this miserable abandoned sister that it was okay over and over again.  It's okay.  At the same time, I felt extremely regretful. If I wanted to vent my depression, there was no need to vent it out at home. It was really not a good thing for a man to act arrogantly in his own home and make his family worried.

    Finished bandaging.  The messy look at home, and even Tang Yuan's tears across from him, made Tang Song not want to stay at home any longer, at least for today. At this moment, he wanted to find a place to get drunk.

    After comforting Tang Yuan for a few more words.  Karamatsu stood up and said to Taiping who had been sitting on the side: "It's bandaged, let's go. We should go check on that matter."

    that matter?  Tian Ping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he realized what he was saying.  This was Karamatsu's excuse for going out. He immediately stood up and walked out without saying anything.

    Seeing that his younger brother had something to deal with outside, Tang Yuan stopped stopping him and watched them go with a worried look on his face.

    After walking a few steps, Tang Song turned around and said: "Sister, if Brother Chen comes to visit later, you can help me entertain him well. Be sure to let him have a meal. The food and wine will be lavish."

    Tang Yuan nodded meekly and agreed, and Tang Song left.

    After exiting the gate, Karamatsu looked at the sky outside and let out a long breath.

    "What happened to you today?"

    Facing Taiping's question, Tang Song said in a deep voice: "Men always feel uncomfortable for a few days at a time, and occasionally they don't want to stay at home. Why, it can't be done?"

    She was a little choked when she replied, but Taiping was not angry. She didn¡¯t know what she heard from Karamatsu¡¯s words. She actually spat out ¡°Bah¡± and cursed ¡°shameless¡±.

    Tang Song didn¡¯t ask for the carriage to be prepared, so he got into the ordinary carriage that Taiping rode in, ¡°Go to the Singing and Dance Shengping Tower.¡±

    When he heard that he was going to such a place, Taiping didn't show any inappropriate expression. Instead, he closed his eyes and calmed down.

    There was no conversation all the way, and we went straight to the Song and Dance Building. It was still daytime, and the building was not too busy.

    Because of the dispute between the big oirans, there was almost no dissatisfaction among the people in the singing and dancing building.Knowing Kara Song, he arrived at Shen Shensi's room smoothly, with Taiping following him lazily.

    Hearing the news from Yuzhu that Tang Song was here, Shen Sisi, who was trying on new clothes, hurriedly went out to greet him and was stunned for a moment when he saw Taiping following behind him.

    Although Taiping sells men's clothing, it is still easy to tell whether a person is a boy or a girl. It is really rare for a man to take a woman with him, and to take a woman as charming as Taiping to a brothel, so it is no wonder.  The well-informed Shen Sisi would be stunned by this.

    "I'm upset today, so I came here to have a drink"

    Hearing this, Shen Sisi put aside his surprise and didn¡¯t ask anything. He just asked Yuzhu to get the newly arrived high-grade Jiannanchun wine from the building.

    After entering the room, Shen Shensi dismissed all the people who were trying on her clothes. For a while, there were only three people left in the room. After Tang Song entered the room, he lay down on the familiar brocade couch, while Taiping carried his arms behind his back.  He walked around in circles and looked at Shen Shen carefully.

    Shen Shen Si doesn¡¯t know the origin of Taiping, so it¡¯s hard to call him Taiping.  But when faced with the Taiping Hungry Wolf looking at the lamb, not only did he not show the slightest bit of restraint, but he actually looked unusually calm and at ease.

    When there were only three people left in the room, there was nothing to say. Tang Song, who was lying on the brocade couch, revealed Taiping's identity, "Sisi, this evil guest is the youngest daughter of the current saint, Princess Taiping. Okay,  You are the host and she is the guest, what kind of ceremony should you do?"

    Twelve months a year, almost monthly appreciation, clearly married.  There is also a palace left in the inner court where you can come back and take a rest at any time.  Wu Zetian's love for Taiping has far exceeded the treatment that ordinary princesses can enjoy. Anyone who has lived in the capital of the gods for a little longer knows this, and Shen Sisi is no exception.

    No matter what Shen Sisi thinks in her heart, her appearance is still normal.  But despite what Karamatsu said.  She still formally gave Tai Ping a gift to pay homage to a princess.

    Taiping waved his hand nonchalantly and pointed at Tang Song and asked Shen Shensi: "He said he was upset when he came and wanted to drink. Why didn't you ask him why he was upset?"

    Shen Shensi said nothing when he heard the words. He just looked at Tang Song on the brocade couch and motioned for him to answer.

    "If I can tell her, I will naturally tell her. If I can't tell her, it's useless to ask? Why should she ask? Sisi is my confidante, how can she not know that I understand me?"

    After Tang Song finished speaking, Shenshensi pursed his lips and smiled at Taiping.  This is the best answer.

    "Bring me a brocade couch, and let it sit next to his." Taiping ordered, and he immediately took action until the person carrying the brocade couch left.  She lay head-to-head with Karamatsu.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off together off  Don't let any servants enter the house, and prepare the wine and food yourself.

    The warm Jiannanchun brew was mellow and intoxicating. Tang Song drank it quickly and hurriedly. Before even one bite of the side dishes to accompany the wine was used, half a cup of wine was already consumed.

    Meditation does not stop him.  She didn't try to persuade him, she just held the pipa and asked softly, "Would you like to listen to some music?"

    Tang Song was confused when he heard this. He poured another bottle of wine into his throat and said: "Nineteen Ancient Poems: Green Tombs on Cypresses"

    A moment later.  The pipa played, and Shen Sisi's somewhat deep voice sang:

    The cypress on the green mausoleum.  Leilei rocks in the stream.

    Life in the world is like a traveler from afar.

    Drinking and drinking entertainment.  Thickness is not thinness.

    Driving chariots and horses, playing games with Wan and Luo.

    Luozhong is so gloomy, the crown and belt are tied to each other.

    There are many mansions of princes in the long and narrow alleys of Luoluo.

    The two palaces face each other from a distance, and the two palaces are more than a hundred feet tall.

    It is a feast to entertain the mind, why is Qi Qi forced?

    Shen Shensi is good at dancing, but her singing voice is not beautiful enough.  This was also her disadvantage when she and Ruyi Niang were competing for the title of oiran, but her deep singing voice was particularly touching when used to sing this song "Qing Qing Ling Mountain Cypress". When she sang "Life in the World"  , suddenly like a traveler from afar", Tang Song seemed to be drunk and muttered these two sentences over and over again.

    ??????????????? After that, he becomes more and more anxious when he drinks, and every time he drinks, he will finish it, and he will get drunk by the time he drinks.  Finally, when Shen Sisi finished singing the poem for the second time and was about to conclude, he succeeded in getting drunk. Even so, he was still muttering "Life in the world is like a traveler from afar."

    During this period, Taiping just sipped, did not stop Tang Song, and did not ask any questions.

    When Tang Song was drunk, he also finished singing.  Shen Shensi put away her pipa and walked to the brocade couch. She looked at Tang Song carefully, then turned to Taiping and asked, "Princess, can you move somewhere else for a while?"

    Taiping didn't know what he meant, so he got up and left the brocade couch, watching Shen Shensi lying down on her brocade couch, watching Shen Shensi turning her back to Tang Song and snuggling into his arms, watching Shen Shen Si taking Tang Song's bracelet.  Lived myself.

     At this moment, the drunk Karamatsu hugged Shen Sisi tightly.

    Taiping smiled coldly, "Is this the confidante?"

    Shen Shensi turned a blind eye to Taiping's disdainful eyes, and just held Tang Song's arms gently and softly in her arms, and said softly: "Princess is born in a noble family. When you want something, others will already guess it before you open your mouth."  How could you ever know the hardships of ordinary people like us who are rising in the world? Just like him, everyone knows that he is famous all over the world, knows that he will reach the seventh rank when he becomes an official, and knows that he is highly appreciated by Xianggong Lu."

    "However, who has really thought about how difficult it is for a person like him who has no family background and is so young to go from Xiangzhou to Shendu to reach this point today?"

    As Shen Shensi spoke in a low and gentle voice, the storms that had stirred up since Tang Song entered Luo were replayed in Taiping's mind one by one. Of course, the dangerous assassination of Baima Temple was indispensable.

    It was only then that Taiping suddenly realized that at Karamatsu's age, it was really difficult for such a white person to reach this stage. She had only seen Karamatsu's talent before, but never thought of him.  The hardships, twists and dangers experienced along the way - the hardships of struggling on the edge of despair many times and the danger of being broken into pieces at every turn.

    "No matter how tough and outstanding men are, they are still human beings. Like women, they can get tired and feel pain, but they just can't express it. The slaves have fallen into the dust. Their low status can't help him. They just give him when he is tired and suffers.  A little warm comfort makes him drunk and comfortable. As for other things, this is where the brothel fireworks are. Why should Nunu care? "

    After Shen Shensi finished speaking for a long time, Taiping whispered, "No wonder the first thing he thinks of when he is upset is to come to you. You are indeed a good confidante."

    Hearing this, Shen Shensi smiled, and the smile at that moment was absolutely beautiful.

    After a while, Taiping suddenly said: "You are a big courtesan, and you are also the lady who is responsible for singing and dancing in the building. You can't stay with this drunkard all the time. Go ahead. I will take care of this place. Don't let other people come in."  That¡¯s it¡±

    Shen Shensi took a deep look at Taiping and then carefully withdrew from Karamatsu's arms.  Then he stood up and wanted to leave, but whispered before leaving, "Nu Nu has seen many men. This is a real good man. Princess, please pity him more."

    Finished.  Shen Shensi went out and then closed the door tightly from the outside. She vaguely heard her ordering her servants to guard the door.

    In the Xianggui, which seemed increasingly spacious, Taiping hesitated for a long time before lying down quietly.  Repeating everything Shensi did before.

    But after lying with her back to Karamatsu for a while, she couldn't help it anymore.  Finally, he turned over again, although he was still in Karamatsu's arms.  But it became face to face.

    The faces almost touching each other in front of him, the smell of alcohol spraying directly on his face, despite many ambiguities in the past, Taiping has never been so close to Karamatsu, and he has never been so close to him with such a simple mind.

    There was no need to calculate anything in his mind when he was lying so close to Karamatsu. Perhaps due to the environment, Taiping's thoughts gradually became distant. In a daze, Karamatsu's face in front of him was the same as the dust-covered face deep in his memory.  The faces that had been around for a long time but had never been forgotten reunited.

    Xue Shao, Xue Shao!

    But this time, when he thought of this name again, and thought of the man who first had his first wife killed by the Queen Mother, and then starved to death in prison, Taiping didn't feel the dull pain that he should have felt in his heart.  Bone to marrow, every time I think about it, there is bound to be a dull pain that follows.

    When another heavy smell of alcohol sprayed on his face, and when the drunken Karamatsu's vague sleep talk rang in his ears, the faces that had been put together suddenly separated again.

    No, he is not Xue Shao!  He was not the Xue Shao who always treated him solemnly like a distinguished guest when he saw her, even being a little cautious when getting close to him. After he gave all his true love, he always left an invisible barrier between the two of them;  Xue Shao would never show his fragile emotions in front of him, so that he could give him some warmth and comfort like a deep thought.

    This is Karamatsu.  Dare to hide from her, dare to be strong in front of her, dare to tie her up and spank her, dare to pull her into the cold river under Hanshan Temple, dare to yell at her ambiguously, dare to play cruel words with her, it is the same as now  Karamatsu who can show all his fragility nakedly in front of her.

    After this separation, in Taiping's heart, it was impossible for the faces of Tang Song and Xue Shao to overlap again. The drunken man in front of her was no longer Xue Shao's shadow, nor was he his substitute every time she thought about Xue Shao.  , he was so alive and flesh and blood that he penetrated into Taiping's heart.

    At this moment, Karamatsu, who was in a drunken dream, moved his body, and during the movement, his entire right leg rested on Taiping's snake-like body.On the limbs, the hands twisted restlessly until they rested on Taiping's towering chest, and rubbed the back twice before settling down like a comfortable falcon after settling into its nest.

    Taiping stared at Karamatsu's close eyes for a long time, and did not relax until he was sure that he was not pretending to sleep.

    The boudoir where Song and Dance Shengpinglou meditated was very quiet, so quiet that it made people want to feel sleepy. In addition, the fine incense in the room and Karamatsu's regular breathing made people more drowsy. So, I don't know how much time passed, and I don't know what I was thinking in my mind.  Taiping finally blinked his eyes and fell asleep.

    When Taiping opened his eyes again, the first thing that caught his eye was another pair of eyes.

    A pair of eyes that are exceptionally clear and can no longer be seen as decadent.  Then she saw that unusually familiar faint smile and a tone of voice that she was slowly getting used to, "It's over this time. We've even fallen asleep. We have really become adulterers and whores."

    Inexplicably, Taiping felt a long-lost peace. At this moment, she suddenly realized that she had slept so soundly just now. For the first time in several years, she had no dreams, let alone nightmares.  This long-lost peace and dreamless fact made her heart feel like a landslide and a tsunami, but her face didn't show it at all.  "If you want to sleep, it's because I slept with you. What are you worried about?"

    "Get up quickly, my arms are going to be broken by you"

    Taiping then realized that her head was resting on Karamatsu's arm for an unknown amount of time.  I don't know how long Karamatsu had been awake, but he obviously didn't want to disturb her sleep, so he kept still.

    "Tang Song's immobility made Taiping shake his heart, but his face remained expressionless. He turned over and sat up, "Tell me, what happened today?"

    Lu Yuanfang¡¯s affairs could not be hidden from others, so Tang Song revealed the news that he would not live forever, ¡°It¡¯s really the time when Prime Minister Lu can¡¯t bear to talk about it. Who do you think will take his place?¡±

    This is related to whether the tasks assigned by Lu Yuanfang can be successfully completed, so we must ask.

    The news that the prime minister was about to pass away was too big. Taiping was silent for a while before he slowly said: "He has already selected a candidate to succeed him in the political affairs hall. There is no need to say more."

    Although Tang Song had already thought of it, he still had luck in his heart after all. Hearing that Taiping was just as he thought and said it with such certainty made him feel extremely bitter.  "Cui Yuanzong! This old guy is really lucky, Prime Minister Luhey"

    "Cui Yuan has a tough personality. He has gone through all the counties, states, and even the six ministries and the current political hall. He has extremely rich political experience. His political achievements are also very outstanding. Although he has broken up with the family now, he has just lost the burden and fetters of the fourth family. But that's not it.  Is he the best candidate for Lu Yuanfang?"

    Taiping is right, Cui Yuanzong is a typical person who has both experience and ability.  He lives a simple life without corruption, and even has a cold temperament similar to that of Lu Yuanfang, and does not like to reciprocate favors. Such a person is really suitable for being in charge of election, especially after he broke up with his family, he is even more suitable.  No wonder Lu Yuanfang would fight to the death to protect him when the family scandals of the four previous generations broke out.

    Seeing that the scandal of the Fourth Family was coming to an end, it was inevitable that Cui Yuanzong would return to the Political Affairs Hall. Thinking of completing the tasks assigned by Lu Yuanfang under his leadership in the future, Tang Song felt panicked.

    There is currently no solution to this problem, so Tang Song simply puts it aside, "After Prime Minister Lu leaves, even if Cui Yuanzong comes back, there will still be one vacancy in the political hall. Who do you think will fill it?"

    Taiping responded with a rhetorical question, "What do you think?"

    Tang Song was thirsty, but he didn't want to touch the wine anymore. He stood up and looked for a tea pot beside him and said, "I hope Duke Di can return to his post as prime minister."

    "It all depends on the Queen Mother's thoughts. If the Queen Mother still has no clear plan for the throne this time, in order to suppress the arrogance of my two cousins, it is indeed the simplest and most effective way to send Di Renjie back to the capital. But if the Queen Mother  Decided to reveal the outcome of the battle of heirs, not only will Di Renjie not be able to return to the capital, he is afraid that he will be demoted even further, and he may even be killed."

    This is the truth again, but Tang Song really doesn¡¯t want to hear it. Everything is annoying.

    After the two martial arts merged to create one magnificent show after another a few days ago, Tang Song was no longer sure whether history would develop like before. The more uncertain he became, the more worried he became, "What about the heir?"  What is the Queen Mother thinking? There has been no news from the palace in the past two days?"

    Hearing this, Taiping also said bitterly: "Not only will the Queen Mother not tell me such a thing, even if I ask and let her know, I will be scolded."

    Tang Song then remembered that Wu Zetian strictly prohibited her, her favorite daughter, from participating in political affairs. She could do whatever she wanted, except that she couldn't do politics, otherwise Taiping wouldn't have been so secretive and cautious.  "What about the news from the palace?"

    "For such a big matter, before the result is revealed, the Queen MotherI will hide it in my heart just to discuss it with others. Do you think you are qualified to hear it because of my spies?  "Knowing that she couldn't hide it, Taiping frankly admitted that she had spies in the palace, "The news coming out of the palace in the past two days has been like a flurry of memorials. In addition, the princes and ladies of the Wu clan are flowing like water.  When he entered the palace to meet the emperor, he kept saying, 'Since ancient times, there has never been an emperor with a different surname as his heir.'"

    "Hey, these words are really heart-breaking, what a design! Erwu is determined to launch a general attack this time. What response does your Majesty have?"

    "Your Majesty will see what you want to see, and see what you don't want to see, but even if you do see him, he won't say anything positive. As for how to deal with it, there is nothing to deal with."

    Tang Song drank the tea in his hand in one gulp and frowned when he heard this, "Is there anything unusual about that?"

    "Abnormal?" Taiping thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Yesterday, the Queen Mother issued an edict to welcome Master Shenxiu to Beijing. Is this considered abnormal?"

    Hearing this, Karamatsu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that history was really going to take a turn.

    The divine beauty mentioned by Taiping is familiar even to later generations. This old monk was the proud disciple of Hongren, the fifth ancestor of Zen among the eight sects of Buddhism. He later wrote a famous Buddhist verse: "The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a spiritual platform. Always brush it diligently.  , don¡¯t let him be stained with dust¡±.

    Although Hui Neng, who said "Bodhi has no tree," came out of nowhere to usurp his inheritance rights, and divided Zen into two branches: Southern Zen and Northern Zen, Hui Neng became very famous in later generations.  But this did not hinder the illustrious status Shenxiu enjoyed when he was alive.

    Huineng went south, before the Southern Zen sect became popular.  In terms of reputation, Shenxiu is still the well-deserved leader of Zen Buddhism, especially after many years of propagating the Dharma. Now in his eighties, he has become a living Buddha in the hearts of people at the time. His influence in both movement and silence has attracted the attention of people all over the world.

    It is an indisputable fact that Wu Zetian worshiped Buddhism. She naturally respected and admired such a living Buddha. She once personally issued an edict to welcome Shenxiu to Beijing.  When Shenxiu arrived in Beijing, the streets of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, were crowded with people eager to see her face. Wu Zetian came to the capital to greet her as the emperor, and then even more shockingly knelt down and worshiped the old monk.

    After that, there was a series of unprecedented honors. He was given purple robes and cassocks, and Shenxiu was named Wu Zhou's "National Master". The most serious emperor's edict established Shenxiu's status as "Emperor Master". Although Shenxiu refused to accept the resignation, Wu Zetian  Whenever I see him, I always address him as "teacher", without exception.

    From the above simple background, we can already see the great influence Shenxiu had on Wu Zetian.  What made Tang Song's heart skip a beat was that the time for this edict to welcome Shenxiu to Beijing was wrong.  In the original history, Shenxiu came to Beijing only after Wu Zetian had determined his successor, but now it has been brought forward several years.

    As a result, the country is peaceful and the people are safe today. There are no major disasters that require rituals or large sacrifices. In addition, Wu Zetian is thinking about the selection of his successor, and he has no intention of talking about Buddhism and Dharma with Shenxiu. In short, this is  Well, Shenxiu really has no reason to come to Beijing now.

    Judging from the most important things at present for Wu Zetian and the entire imperial court, the only explanation that can be made is that Wu Zetian was also hesitant as in history whether to choose Wu or Li as his successor, but this time  She didn't want to delay it any longer, so she wanted to use Buddhism to ease her hesitation.  This time Shenxiu came to Beijing and really had to perform his duties as "Emperor's Master".

    To put it bluntly, this is just like how ordinary people like to ask gods for divination when they encounter important issues that are difficult to decide. Who will be the successor is a top priority even for the emperor. She is hesitant and believes in Buddhism, but there is such a person in the north that she respects.  How can we not ask questions from a living Buddha who has been admired for a long time?

    Shenxiu¡¯s influence is so great. Since Wu Zetian spent so much effort to welcome him to the capital, how could the succession battle not have a clear outcome?

    At this point, Karamatsu is almost certain that the history he is familiar with has really changed!

    After telling Tai Ping what he had thought of, Tang Song said in a deep voice: "It would be faster on your side. Zhang Changzong really can't stay."

    After hearing what Tang Song said, Taiping's face became extremely serious, "Tang Song, let me ask you, who do you hope will be the emperor?"

    "I don't care who becomes the emperor, and I don't want to. What I care about is Wu Sansi. When he gains power, my death will not be far away."

    Hearing this, Taiping secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, and the charming smile returned to his face.  To be continued.  .
