Chapter 421

At dusk, the execution platform was full of firewood, and Zen Master Jingwu, who was tied to the wooden stake in the middle, looked very calm and serene, with no trace of anxiety or fear on his face, as if this was not going to Death is a practice.

The abbot and the elders of the temple asked him if he could repent, and he raised his hands to Amitabha, "Although my disciple made a mistake, I have no regrets."

According to the secret order of the emperor at that time, Jing Wu was not to be executed, but the method was not by burning.The presiding officer and the elders read out his crimes of corrupting Buddhism and violating Buddhist regulations.

The torch was thrown away, and the flames ignited instantly. The pilgrims who had heard the news all witnessed the burning, but they could only watch from a distance.

While everyone was chattering there, a young woman with a sword rushed from the other direction.

Although she is dressed in coarse cloth, it cannot conceal her natural beauty.

This woman is Wushuang.

Wushuang saw that the person in the flames was Shangguan Rongzhi, who rushed towards him like crazy, she swung her sword and ordered the group of monks to fetch water to put out the fire, while beating the firewood herself.The host remained motionless, not threatened, just put his hands together, "Amitabha——"

Wushuang heard Jing Wu in the fire and said, "Wushuang! Don't do evil!"

The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and Wushuang cried, "Rong Zhi! Why didn't you run away?! Why did you lie to me?!"

It is said that at that time Wushuang and Shangguan Rongzhi reunited several months later, Wushuang couldn't help but hugged him and cried hard, the two made an appointment to leave Shanglin Temple early in the morning, and went away from home.Shangguan Rongzhi arranged for Wushuang to take a rest and have a fast meal, and told her to say goodbye to her old friend.

In fact, he knew well that when he came back to meet Wushuang this time, it would be difficult to escape, but he still came, and he felt that what should come would always come.

Without the slightest doubt, Wushuang took a nap on the futon in front of the Buddhist altar after eating, until the noise in the distance woke her up.

She saw this scene when she came out.

There is no one to save the fire, let alone no one to save.

Rong Zhi persuaded Wu Shuang to leave quickly, "Shuang'er, I intended for you to become a Buddha, but because of you, you fell into the world of mortals. Rong Zhi is willing to be punished, so as not to fall into hell. If there is a human being in the next life, Rong Zhi and Shuang'er will definitely live up to this fate." Forever lovesick."

Wushuang cried: "Since I am tired of you, why not join me! The next life is too far away, and I am too miserable alone. How can I find you through all living beings?!"

Seeing that the flames had already engulfed Rong Zhi's body, Wu Shuang also threw away everything in his hand, rushed into the flames, and hugged Shangguan Rong Zhi, "Wherever you go, Shuang'er will follow!"

At the last moment, the two hugged each other and died in the sea of ​​flames.

When King Jin's men arrived, they only saw the last scene, and it was too late.

When Ning Qingqing came on horseback, the fire had already been extinguished, and the two of them were reduced to ashes, with nowhere to go.

Gently stood there blankly, thinking of Wushuang's frown and smile in the past, tears streaming down his face.

"Sister-in-law three, don't leave, tell me who this person is?!" In the past, she always had the image of a domineering and savage princess. She would call herself sister-in-law three. She framed herself, but it was all for the love she thought .

Wei Wei never thought that Wu Shuang would fall in love with Zen Master Jing Wu. As for their unconventional love, she didn't know. She only thought of their ending, and the rest was only sadness.

"If there is an afterlife, I just want to be a white lotus in front of his Buddha."

After all, she is a woman with the utmost affection and sexuality, but it is a pity that she is too paranoid.

Wushuang thought of Wushuang's mother, Princess Chu. Is it luck or misfortune to fall in love with such a paranoid and passionate woman?They have no way of commenting, and only they know it well.

Xiao Zijuan came over and hugged her, seeing her eyes were red from crying like tears, he felt infinitely sad.

He wiped her tears and comforted her, "Wu Shuang is considered consummated. When she was born, Master Huiji in the palace said that the sixth princess had a destiny with Buddha, so he gave her Buddhist beads. I never thought that this fate of Buddha is actually a blessing." Such an arrangement."

*
After Ning Qingyuan went back, she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't lift her spirits up for a few days. At night, she dreamed of Wushuang smiling at her, "Qingqing, Rongzhi and I are very happy, don't be sad for me."

After waking up, she told Xiao Zijun about the dream. Xiao Zijun didn't say anything for a long time, but got up and walked to the window.

"What's the matter?" She sensed that he was troubled, so she followed him.

"Father is ill. Because of Wushuang. Even Xiner doesn't want to see her anymore."

Qingqing just stays with him, and can't say any consolation, the emperor lost Zihong, and now Wushuang is gone too.After all, white-haired people give black-haired people.

"Father is getting old, and he looks indifferent to Wushuang on the surface, but he hides it in his heart. This time, he vomited a mouthful of blood when he heard about Wushuang."

"Is the current situation important, Your Majesty?" He asked softly, but he didn't care much in his heart.

"The imperial doctor said to recuperate for a few days to see the situation, maybe it's just a moment of extreme pain." Although he said so, he knew in his heart that his father's heart disease was probably caused by it all year round. If his father had not always been healthy, Ordinary people have already fallen down.

"In the past few days, I may often go to the palace to visit my father. If you come back late occasionally, you don't have to wait for me."

King Jin's actions are also suspected of showing filial piety. The emperor Xiao Yan's heirs are not prosperous. The five sons and three daughters, the eldest prince, the deposed prince, and the sixth princess have passed away one after another.

Xiao Yan recalled the past of these years, and now, he couldn't help feeling sad, and often couldn't restrain his tears, so the three princes were all diligent, benevolent and filial in front of the bed, and both inside and outside the court could clearly see that this was what the princes wanted to leave a good fortune for the emperor. The impression is that I really have plans for that position.

Originally, the court had already called for the establishment of the Eastern Palace as soon as possible, but this time, after the emperor fell ill, the officials dared not mention it, lest the emperor think too much, which was alluding to his majesty's poor health.

However, if the courtiers didn't mention it, Xiao Yan became more and more aware of it.

As I am getting older, I am always not afraid of anything. It is really not a good thing for the prince of the Eastern Palace to hang in the air.

Therefore, when the emperor felt well on this day, he announced the three princes into the imperial study.

It is said that the emperor talked with the princes for an hour in it. The princes talked about their views on the government affairs of the court and the matters they were responsible for, which was no less than a surprise inspection.

This time, the fifth prince Xiao Ziyuan performed well, and the emperor promoted him to the position of fifth prince.The courtiers of the former court are wondering if His Majesty has changed his mind.

It's just that the five princes came from a humble background, and their mother was just a talented girl whom the emperor liked when he went to Jiangnan. It's a nice word to say a talented girl, but it's just that the emperor, a prostitute with a declining family, took pity on her and redeemed her for resettlement.With such a background, the Fifth Prince was not favored for a long time.

Now His Majesty seems to like the Fifth Prince more and more. After the dragon raised his head on February [-], the imperial decree issued that the Fifth Prince Xiao Ziyuan was named the King of Liang. Because the Liang Palace is currently under construction, the King of Liang still lives in the palace for the time being.

From then on, there was an additional His Royal Highness King Liang in the palace. He was close to the water and the first to get the moon. King Liang was gentle and low-key, knowledgeable, diligent, benevolent and filial. For a while, there were new trends in the front and rear palaces, and that was King Liang.
