Qi'er went to see Gongsun Yu, who had been sitting quietly in Boyunxuan. Gongsun Yu thought that Qi'er had wanted to open the Netherworld Lotus, and asked Qi'er how to open it.
Gongsun Yu, the loyal and filial emperor, died like this, but he was unable to refute. He was unwilling to give in. He wanted to overthrow Gao Yan, turn back time, and let King Jinan continue to be the emperor.
Gongsun Yu wanted to use the power of Netherworld Lotus to reverse the situation. Qi'er told him that history was irreversible, but Gongsun Yu couldn't listen at all.
Qi'er said that he was foolishly loyal. This would not change the fate of King Jinan, and would even harm himself.
Gongsun Yu still insisted, "Even if you are foolish and loyal, it is better than a traitor who has no loyalty for a moment!"
Gongsun Yu's persistence made Qi'er feel that maybe without such loyal and stupid people, how could China have such wonderful history? It is those seemingly stupid loyal ministers in history who make people sigh with regret, and that is why there are tragic and just stories one after another.
Maybe you don’t understand their foolish loyalty, but no matter how fast the wheels of time turn, they can’t erase their past imprints.
Qi'er saw Gongsun Yu's persistence and thought that she had always lived a mechanical and step-by-step life. If it hadn't been for this rebirth, she might still be that careless teenager or a criminal in the future. She saw Gongsun Yu's feelings for family and country. , was also moved by him.
Qi'er thought of Confucius, and she had laughed at him before. In order to promote his Confucian culture, Confucius traveled around and went through all kinds of hardships, but he was also looked down upon and said he was like a lost dog. But without Confucius's stupid ideas and stubborn character, where would the later Confucian culture and the five thousand years of Chinese civilization history be?
Qi'er also admires those foolish and loyal people at this moment, because they have their own beliefs and a spirit that they must persist at the risk of their lives...
Qi'er told Gongsun Yu that he must have strong faith and perseverance to open the Netherworld Lotus.
It is snowing heavily outside the house, and the word "loyalty" written by Gongsun Yu on Boyunxuan's desk has not yet dried; the incense in the incense cage slowly emits a light and elegant fragrance from the incense cage...
Luan Yue kept a strict guard outside Boyunxuan, not allowing anyone to come in and disturb her.
Qi'er looked at Gongsun Yu nervously and quietly, not daring to do anything loud.
Gongsun Yu sat quietly in Boyunxuan, sitting cross-legged, holding the Nether Lotus in his hands, closing his eyes slightly, sensing the Nether Lotus with the strong faith and perseverance in his heart, and making his heart resonate with the Nether Lotus...
The silence in Boyunxuan feels like time has stood still!
Gongsun Yu still held the Netherworld Lotus in his hand. After an unknown amount of time, the Netherworld Lotus slowly emitted golden light, and Qi'er knew that Gongsun Yu had succeeded.
When Gongsun Yu opened the Nether Lotus for the first time, time went back one month to the year of Xinchou, the month of Dingyou, the day of Renshen, and the time of Dingwei.
first.
Gongsun Yu took a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he sent people to pick up the King of Jinan, and on the other hand, he mobilized troops and generals in full swing. He mobilized his powerful organizational system and many invisible people in the secret council to actively participate. In addition, the influence of the Gongsun family in Northern Qi was not inferior to that of the imperial power. With the support of a group of loyal ministers, he wanted the King of Jinan to return and proclaim himself emperor. After all, Gao Yan succeeded to the throne. The name was unjust and the words were unjust, so Gongsun Yu almost raised his arms and shouted.
The army loyal to the emperor suffered numerous casualties and was defeated. People in the palace fled in all directions. Gao Yan and Queen Mother Lou were worried. They didn't want to fail, but there was no one left...
The morale of the soldiers outside the city was high. Just when they were about to open the city gate with victory in hand, Gongsun Yu suddenly received an urgent call from Siyoutang eight hundred miles away. The king of Jinan passed away...
Let Gongsun Yu be struck by lightning. He has no intention of usurping power. He overthrew the current emperor so that the King of Jinan could proclaim himself emperor. The King of Jinan died? What does this attack mean?
Everything is ready. The news is that the King of Jinan has passed away?
Gongsun Yu was unwilling to give in and wanted to use the power of Netherworld Lotus to reverse time and fight back a second time.
It is snowing heavily outside the house, and the word "loyalty" written by Gongsun Yu on Boyunxuan's desk has not yet dried; the incense in the incense cage slowly emits a light and elegant fragrance from the incense cage...
Gongsun Yu still held the Nether Lotus in his hand and sat cross-legged on Boyunxuan's soft couch...
Gongsun Yu held his breath and opened the Netherworld Lotus again with his powerful willpower...
The time has moved forward a few months...
the second time
Gongsun Yu didn't want to fail again, so he mobilized his father's military power, part of which returned to Beijing, and part of which guarded outside the Great Wall. Although Gongsun Yu secretly mobilized Gongsun Dan's army, it was still unstoppable. Gao Yan quickly learned the news and quickly made a decision. Responses.
Gongsun Yu naturally knew that Gao Yan would take precautions. After all, the troops mobilized did not require three to five hundred people. He was fully prepared and planned to face the war.
With their influence and power in Northern Qi, the Gongsun family was evenly matched even if they openly opposed the emperor.
Gongsun Yu took the initiative to attack in order to gain time. Gao Yan was prepared and rewarded the soldiers heavily, and both sides fought to the death.
…
After three months of continuous desperate fighting, the emperor's army was exhausted and could not leave the palace.
The Gongsun family was completely wiped out, and even Luan Yue, who was beside him, was killed by an arrow while protecting him, and those who supported him fell one after another...
There are corpses everywhere inside and outside the city, corpses pile up like mountains, the streets are empty and quiet, the streets are full of garbage, and various rickety buildings are left unattended. It is a miserable place...especially when the sound of wailing comes one after another day and night, and everyone helps the old and the young, almost watching Less than a young man…
Gongsun Yu felt heartbroken when he saw everything in front of him...
Thinking about the shops and vendors on the streets of Beijing shouting their sales, all kinds of people were constantly shuttling back and forth, and it was bustling... At this moment, he reflected, what is the purpose of this? Is it interesting to fight for the throne like this?
There is no need to attack the palace gate, because there is no one to defend it. Opening the palace gate is just a matter of one word, but it is difficult for him to open his mouth. He can't bear to watch the lives of the people in exchange for the imperial power that he supports. He doesn't want it!
Gongsun Yu held the sword in his hand tiredly, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed...
Time returns to Boyunxuan...
It is snowing heavily outside the house, and the word "loyalty" written by Gongsun Yu on Boyunxuan's desk has not yet dried; the incense in the incense cage slowly emits a light and elegant fragrance from the incense cage...
Gongsun Yu still held the Nether Lotus in his hand and sat cross-legged on Boyunxuan's soft couch...
Luan Yue came in with several bottles and gave away the secret medicine developed by Mr. Qingshan. It seemed that neither of those two things happened. It was just a fantasy just now, but the heart-wrenching thing was real...
Gongsun Yu stood up and grabbed Luan Yue's shoulders, looked at Luan Yue's body for a long time, and said happily and gratifiedly, "You are Luan Yue, you are Luan Yue, right? You are injured... Just be okay!"
"Yes, Young Master, I, Luan Yue, what's wrong with you? I haven't even left Gongsun's mansion, how could I be injured?" Thinking about the heavy snow falling outside, could it be that you have a fever? Carefully, he tried Gongsun Yu's forehead.
Gongsun Yu didn't have cold eyes, but looked at Luan Yue with gentle eyes.
Luan Yue tried to confirm that Gongsun Yu was fine, and quickly put down her hands, relieved that she didn't have a fever.
Gongsun Yu knew that Luan Yue didn't remember going back in time, so he didn't say anything more about it.
Luan Yue put down all the bottles, and Gongsun Yu asked him to step back.
Gongsun Yu suddenly lost his will. He actually didn't know whether to reverse the situation. He couldn't bear the thought of so many people dying.
Qi'er said to him, "Working with all your heart can't match the destiny! Even if you work hard, the result will still be the same. The King of Jinan...he...cannot become emperor again..."
Gongsun Yu wondered why Qi'er remembered both events, but others couldn't, and everything remained unchanged.
Seeing Gongsun Yu's heart breaking, Qi'er could only say, maybe he is from the future, and what you are passing through is history.
Gongsun Yu was still unwilling to give in, "I don't want the King of Jinan to be the emperor, as long as he is safe, I want to give it a try?"
Qi'er didn't dare to persuade him, after all, this was his persistence.
the third time.
Gongsun Yu set back the time for a month, and sent people to monitor the concubine who poisoned the King of Jinan, and sent people to take strict precautions before it happened. However, not long after, it was still reported that the King of Jinan had passed away.
Gongsun Yu was unwilling to ask the reason, and someone reported that he had died of illness...
Gongsun Yu was disheartened and eclipsed. He knew that Northern Qi would not change because of the Nether Lotus. After all, the fate of the country was like this, and it could not be changed even if it was repeated ten times.
In the year of Xinchou, in the month of Wuxu, on Renyin day, Ding Weishi, I returned to the initial reversal of time. It was still snowing heavily outside the house. The ink on the word "loyalty" written by Gongsun Yu on Boyunxuan's desk was not dry yet; the smoke in the smoke cage was still there. Fragrance, the long and elegant fragrance is dyed from the smoke cage...
Gongsun Yu still held the Nether Lotus in his hand and sat cross-legged on Boyunxuan's soft couch...
It seemed like time went on and nothing changed.
Gongsun Yu took a deep breath, smelled the light fragrance of the hair dye in the smoke cage, and said helplessly, "Luck! Fate!"
Luan Yue came in with several bottles and presented the secret medicine developed by Mr. Qingshan, and it seemed that the same thing was happening again.
Nothing is left, only the heart-wrenching thing is true...
Luan Yue put down the medicine bottle and looked at Gongsun Yu with dull eyes, thinking that he was sad for the death of King Jinan, and now she didn't dare to say anything.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest for no apparent reason. He couldn't help but cover his chest with his hands. After enduring the pain for a while, he thought that he wasn't hurt either. How could the pain be so real?
Luan Yue didn't know why her chest hurt. Gongsun Yu knew why Luan Yue felt such real pain in her chest, so he asked him to go back and recuperate.
Luan Yue was curious. She was not sick, so why did the young master let her go back to recuperate? Seeing that Gongsun Yu was not joking, he could only accept the order inexplicably.
Gongsun Yu regretted helping Gao Yan in the first place, but that was the end of it. Qi'er went over to comfort him, "Gao Yin will not be emperor for long. If you don't help Gao Yan, he will also be emperor sooner or later. This is his fate."
Gongsun Yu suddenly thought of Qi'er's words when he was drunk that day, "You know the situation here very well? What happened next?"
"Do you believe it when I say it?"
"Come and let me hear what you say."
"After the death of King Jinan, Gao Yan could not be emperor for more than a few years before passing the throne to his younger brother, His Royal Highness Prince Changguang..."
"Prince Changguang? He is a famously idle prince and has no ambition to seize the emperor. It is impossible..." Gongsun Yu said in disbelief.
"You don't have the ambition to be emperor, but you have that destiny. If you knew that the emperors of Northern Qi were either fatuous and cruel, or extremely extravagant, you would be even more angry. Although Gao Yan took Gao Yin's kingdom and was not a good man, he could do things, and he was also The only emperor in the Northern Qi Dynasty who had both ability and political integrity was a good thing for the people, but unfortunately... his life was too short. He only served as emperor for two years before he left Hexi. His prince was a hundred years old, young and ignorant, and could not perform well. If you pass the throne to your younger brother, to whom?"
"The emperor of Northern Qi is fatuous and cruel? Extremely extravagant? Qi'er, are you talking about Northern Qi?"
"I'm talking about the Northern Qi. How long do you think the Northern Qi can last? Within a few generations, the Northern Qi was destroyed by your old enemy the Northern Zhou. If you knew how that successor destroyed the country, you would probably be so angry that you could get out of the coffin. Come out of the banli, no... maybe you are not dead at that time..."
Qi'er looked at Gongsun Yu and listened in disbelief, "Did you know that Northern Qi was called the Beast Dynasty in history? If you don't believe it in the future, you can think of Gao Yang, the previous Wenxuan Emperor. He was also a Ming Dynasty at the beginning, but later he became fatuous. The cruelty is simply outrageous. You know his affairs best..." Looking at Gongsun Yu's expression, he added, "Maybe the historical records are wrong. After all, there are thousands of years between you and me... In short, the Great Unification was finally achieved, and so was the Northern Qi Dynasty. , the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Southern Chen Dynasty, all became the Sui Dynasty... Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, etc., passed down from generation to generation..."
Gongsun Yu thought that the first time he met Qi'er, she was angrily talking about Gao Yang's stupidity on the street...
Qi'er comforted him again, "It has been so easy in history for a country to change hands. I know you are not willing to accept it, but you cannot change it... You must be extremely sad in your heart?"
"Yes! I am extremely sad, and I understand all the reasons. The result of King Jinan seems to be accidental, but in fact it is inevitable. King Jinan is too kind, and he does not have a resolute character. He will definitely be influenced by the current emperor and Queen Mother Lou. Gao Gao Playing the role of emperor when there is no smoke, maybe this result is good news for the people! But he will not leave the hidden danger of the King of Jinan..."
Gongsun Yu knew that Qi'er was comforting him. He believed in the saying that sometimes life must come to pass, but if life doesn't exist, don't force it!
Gongsun Yu experienced a reversal of time and looked down on everything. Maybe everything was empty, just like he had a dream and woke up and started all over again.
