    :.

    As Wu Sansi, who was being tortured by Shangguan Jin, was beheaded by Tang Song, the twists and turns and bizarre dramas surrounding the struggle for imperial power in the inner palace of Shendu that night finally came to an end.

    Although the outcome of the imperial power struggle ended with the unexpected victory of Luling King Li Xian, everyone involved in this great struggle became increasingly busy

    There was such a big commotion in the palace. In order to successfully ascend the throne, Li Xian and his wife had to make many plans and meet many people during the golden time between now and dawn. Di Renjie and Wu Youyi naturally had to follow them around; Taiping  There are also the affairs of King Qin's five thousand soldiers and horses to deal with; even Shangguan Wan'er needs to patrol the entire inner court to appease the panicked palace residents and ensure the stability of the inner court.

    Therefore, since Wu Sansi¡¯s death, Tang Song has become the only free man at the moment.

    After Shangguan Jin went home first and asked him to meet Chen Xuanli at Luoyang City Gate early tomorrow morning, Tang Song walked slowly towards Wu Zetian's palace alone in the lonely night wind.

    The previous events happened too quickly and the turn was too sharp. All parties devoted all their energy to saving their lives or fighting for imperial power, so that no one here even cared about it. Now look at the busy scene of Li Xian and his wife.  I'm afraid they won't have time to come over until at least after dawn to discuss Wu Zetian's death.

    The approaching and encirclement of the government troops just now frightened the palace people out of fear. They retreated after the encirclement, and all the palace people in the palace fled without a trace.

    Therefore, when Karamatsu walked into the palace courtyard under the uneven pale moonlight, the emperor's sleeping place was actually a lonely silence. There were occasionally three or two jackdaws on the dead trees in the courtyard, which not only did not bring any harm to the palace.  Being more angry only adds to the remote desolation

    The moonlight became increasingly bleak, just like Karamatsu's face after he no longer restrained his thoughts and emotions. Step by step, he slowly walked into the main room of the palace where the lamp tree was still bright.

    The deathly silence in the palace made every sound of footsteps sound so harsh. Karamatsu, who had been here for several years, seemed to have returned to the beginning of time travel. Everything in front of him seemed so unreal. He was walking step by step into the place that made people feel uncomfortable.  In the smoke of history that is still unspeakable

    When he separated the somewhat messy second layer of monofilament curtains in the palace with his hands, this feeling became stronger, and a silent roar roared in his heart. Two doors with a rich history of vicissitudes suddenly opened in front of him.

    Opening the curtain and walking in, Karamatsu saw the luxurious furnishings, the dripping blood on the ground, and the fallen beast-shaped incense burner; he saw the gorgeous Qibao couch and the figure on the couch who had loose skin after taking off her makeup.  An old, tired woman with hair full of silver hair

    Wu Zetian still maintained the same posture as when she died. The quiet palace and the woman dying on the couch should have been a terrifying scene, but for some reason Tang Song didn't have any fear in his heart. Even the unreal feeling he felt when he came in just now.  completely disappear

    It was as if the moment he saw Wu Zetian, he walked into the door of history that suddenly opened, and truly integrated into this ever-flowing historical river, and became a part of it.

    After looking at Wu Zetian for a long time while maintaining the same posture as when he came in, Tang Song took steps again, very lightly, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

    Picking up the incense burner rolling on the ground, he moved the body of the little palace maid to the other side of the curtain, and then tidied up the messy palace room one by one. Tang Song did all this silently without saying a word.

    After the palace room was tidied up, Karamatsu washed his hands and dried them, and then came to the Qibao couch, which he had never touched before.

    When he picked up the messy Wu Zetian and placed her on the high couch, Tang Song did not expect that this tall woman who had looked down on the world for many years would be so light.

    After putting them in place and covering them with brocade quilts, Tang Song fetched various things. First, he carefully wiped the blood on Wu Zetian's forehead and face, and then used a comb to straighten out her messy silver threads one by one.

    In the end, Wu Zetian, who was neatly tidied up on the bed, seemed to have fallen asleep, and regained the dignity that a deceased person and an eternal empress should have.

    After doing this, Tang Song got the wine, and after three libations in front of Qibao's high couch, he sat down at the end of the couch with the wine bottle and drank.

    The weather is cold and the wine is cold, but after it penetrates the throat and enters the intestines, it is like a burning fire. Sip after sip. At this time, Karamatsu's drinking is no longer the usual sip, but gulps down.

    When Kankan finished the wine, there were footsteps outside, but Tang Song ignored it, picked up a long hairpin on the high table next to the couch, and knocked on the empty golden pot, making a rhythmic tinkling sound.

    Amidst the tinkling sound, Karamatsu was filled with words that he could not express, and all his unspeakable emotions spurted out with the smell of wine, turning into four lines of a twenty-seven-character long song:

    How can a hero vanish into thin air?  Bone Hua Shan Ling Qi Makes Tide

    The Immortal King has an iron heart. When was he born?

      In the silent cold night and the lonely palace, Karamatsu¡¯s long song smelling of wine spread far and wide, echoing in the wind among the red walls and yellow tiles.

    When the curtain opened, Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er walked in, and behind them, followed by Di Renjie with an iron-faced face.

    When the three of them saw the tidy palace, and then Wu Zetian sleeping peacefully on the Qibao couch, they all glanced at Tang Song in unison, with different expressions but the same complexity.

    Tang Song vented all the unspeakable emotions in his chest with his drunken gushing and long singing. He originally planned to leave, but he stopped when he saw Di Renjie coming in.

    After looking at Tang Song, Di Renjie walked straight to the Qibao couch and stared at Wu Zetian for a long time. Then he suddenly bowed and bowed three times solemnly.

    After three salutes, Di Renjie straightened up and walked out without saying a word.

    Just when Di Renjie had reached the curtain, Tang Song suddenly asked: "Mr. Di, there is only one empress since the founding of Hongmeng. Is she a good emperor?"

    Di Renjie's footsteps stopped, and after a moment he said in a distant voice: "In order to achieve the emperor's career, the saint used cruel officials, frightened the ministers, and slaughtered the Li Tang clan. Although she did not avoid her own children, she was not a good emperor."

    As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping's expressions changed. They didn't expect that Di Renjie would speak so openly in front of the emperor.

    However, after sighing, Di Renjie's voice came again in the distance, "The saint has been in charge of the power of the world for more than thirty years. He has reduced taxes, restrained war, and reduced labor, so that the people can live in peace. In the past thirty years, the world's population has increased by 200.  There are 350,000 households and more than 13 million people. In the five hundred years since the end of the Han Dynasty, this has been unprecedented outside of the rule of Zhenguan and since the founding of Hongmeng. How many emperors can do this? She  Of course he is a good emperor."

    After saying that, Di Renjie raised the curtain and walked out without saying anything else. Now he is already a well-deserved pillar of the imperial court, especially Jun Li Xian's Dinghai Shenzhen. There are too many things to be busy with. He can embark on this journey at this moment tonight.  These three rituals actually explain many things.

    After Di Renjie left, Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er stood in front of Qibao's couch with complicated expressions for a long time, but perhaps because their emotions were too complicated, or perhaps because of the presence of the other party, they didn't say anything in the end and just remained silent.  gaze, silent salute

    Before Taiping¡¯s ceremony was completed, someone from the palace came outside the curtain to spread the news that the King of Luling wanted to see the princess.

    Taiping continued to finish the ceremony meticulously, stood up and looked at Tang Song, then at Shangguan Wan'er, and then went

    After watching her go out, Tang Song took Shangguan Wan'er's hand and hugged her into his arms.

    Shangguan Wan'er's mood was very low, "This is before the death"

    "We hid it from her when she was alive. It would be really disrespectful to hide it now." As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Wan'er stopped trying to break away and allowed herself to melt into the embrace that she really needed at this moment.

    Tang Song didn¡¯t say anything anymore, he just hugged Shangguan Wan¡¯er tightly, trying to give her more comfort and warmth.

    The silent embrace lasted for a long time. Shangguan Wan'er, who gradually calmed down, opened her mouth and tried to say something, but she didn't know what to say for the moment.

    At this moment, Tang Song gently sealed her lips with his cheek, "Everyone has his own Wu Zhao in his heart. Di Gong has it, Taiping has it, I have it, and you naturally have it too. This belongs to you, why do you need to say it?"  ? It¡¯s clear that I can¡¯t explain it, so why bother?¡±

    Shangguan Wan'er nodded silently, very seriously

    "When you clean up the mess and leave the palace, I will take you to Nanshi to see the Persian Orchid, to the singing and dancing building to listen to Sisi's lyrics, and to take you to all the places you want to go and see all the scenery you want to see."

    "As soon as I entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea. Not to mention that I grew up in the deep palace. I have always been with you for sixteen years. Whether it was in the Li Tang clan or the Wu clan, I knew too many things that I shouldn't know.  How can the palace be so easy?" These words had clearly reached Shangguan Wan'er's lips, but she thought of Tang Song's leisurely and fascinated expression at this moment, and finally did not say it out loud. Instead, she smiled softly, "That's great."

    Afterwards, Shangguan Wan'er came out of Tang Song's arms and pulled her out of Wu Zetian's palace. As she walked, she said: "It won't be too late for me to do my business later. Anyway, this palace affairs can't be handed over in three to five days, but you will do it later."  So what?"

    Once Wu Zetian died, Tang Song's appreciation from the emperor naturally disappeared, and his biggest supporter also fell into the current turbulent court situation. Shangguan Wan'er didn't care how he would deal with himself.

    Speaking of this, Tang Song is really annoyed. With the development of general science, the reform of the imperial examination, and of course the major event that Lu Yuanfang explained, he really wants to do something real. However, if he wants to make it happen under the current situation, especially  Accomplishing such a major event, which is inherently difficult, is impossible without effective political support.

      But when it comes to finding political help, Li Xian is obviously not successful. According to historical experience, Empress Wei is not reliable either. As for Taiping, after seeing her vulnerable side after taking off her thick outer armor, Tang Song also  I really don't dare to put my treasure on her

    If a woman is not as hard-hearted and decisive as Wu Zetian, but only wants to be the emperor, then she is simply a time bomb. Such a person may be a good ally in exchange of interests, but she must not put her wealth at the expense of others.  His life is tied to her, otherwise, he might encounter an unexpected disaster at some point.

    However, after excluding these three people, looking at the world there is nowhere to be seen.

    Thinking of this, Tang Song thought of Lu Yuanfang again, and how it was a pity that his life was about to end. Otherwise, if he followed this true gentleman and actually did something worthwhile, his life would not be lonely.

    As for Di Renjie, Li Tang was too obsessed. After waiting for so many years, he met a mediocre leader like Li Xian. Alas

    After thinking about it, he couldn't find a place. Tang Songyuan wanted to sigh, but he didn't like this decadence, so he smiled and said: "Since I can only dance on different blades, then I will try my best to look for small poems among the blades."  If you can get a song, it¡¯s a song. If you can achieve something, it¡¯s a thing. Doing it is better than not doing it.¡±

    Shangguan Wan'er heard the hidden worry in Tang Song's words, smiled and said with relief: "What the hell, you have made such a great contribution tonight, and when the reward edict comes out in a few days, you may not know what the weather will be like, why do you say so?"  So bleak¡±

    "A great achievement?"

    Shangguan Wan'er stopped and looked at him carefully before laughing out loud, "You really don't know? In this era of peace, what achievements can be greater than that of King Qin? Let alone the discussion of King Qin.  Or was it you who initiated the initiative to Princess Taiping? In addition, your detection of Wu Sansi's murder of his former heir is also a great achievement. No matter what the King of Luling and the Princess think about this matter, the reward they deserve is  Essential¡±

    Thinking about it carefully, this is really the case. But "I advised Taiping to raise an army in her private residence. Who would know?"

    Shangguan Wan'er's lips curved and she gave a rare playful smile, "I know. Since I know, I will naturally let everyone who should know know."

    Tang Song gently hugged Shangguan Wan'er's slender waist, and everything was gone.

    Unconsciously, the two of them had walked out of the courtyard of the palace and were standing in front of the door. They stopped at the same time and turned around to look.

    After a long time, Tang Song sighed quietly: "An era is over."

    Shangguan Wan'er was obviously not used to his weird way of expression, "Huh?"

    Tang Song did not look back, still looking at the majestic palace hidden in the night, his voice became more and more distant, "The hero died forever, and the holy emperor was angry and the world died. The scene will never be repeated in a short time. The era of demons dancing has arrived.  "To be continued)
