AD 747, the sixth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, the first day.
Emperor Xuanzong, who had just dealt with a number of ministers related to the prince in the past year, was currently hosting a banquet for civil and military officials in the Daming Palace, when he suddenly felt dizzy and fainted.
"No, His Majesty fainted!"
I don't know which palace maid screamed in panic, and the originally harmonious and happy scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Don't move around, listen to the truth! Chen Xuan! Chen Xuan! Order the imperial army to seal the scene, and no one is allowed to leave!" A clean-faced and beardless senior official shouted loudly.
Then, groups of Shence Army wearing bright armor appeared to maintain order.
In the past year, the Tang Dynasty could be said to be bloody. In this year, Li Linfu framed Prince Li Heng for suspicion of rebellion.
Xuanzong, who rose to power through rebellion and conspiracy, has always been merciless in dealing with princes' rebellion. Previously, he had personally executed three of his princes, and now Li Heng is the fourth.
This time, Emperor Xuanzong treated many ministers just like he had done with the previous princes. Perhaps because he was old and sentimental, or because he felt weak mentally and physically, he did not deal with the prince again. This made Li Linfu, who had always wanted everything come true, very disappointed. dissatisfied.
Relying on Xuanzong's favor and trust, Li Linfu wanted to kill the prince, and constantly fabricated false evidence to slander the emperor.
The emperor neither said he was right nor said he was wrong, just hanging on.
In fact, Xuanzong could see clearly that he was over sixty years old and still had a few days to live. The prince's ideas were nothing. This was the tradition of the old Li family.
The descendants of the old Li family felt that taking over the throne was unsafe and they had to show off their martial arts skills.
From Taizong to Li Longji himself, any awesome emperor is not like this. Those who are not like this are weaklings. On the contrary, they will be looked down upon by the old emperor and ministers. If you are awesome, a woman can be the emperor.
Anyway, I have reached my age, and the road has been paved for you. If you are awesome, just work hard to reach the throne of God. I am happy to see it succeed. This is his attitude towards Li Heng.
Because Xuanzong is too old now, he is increasingly unable to manage the country and balance the forces in the court. If the prince cannot dominate one party, there is no point in giving the throne to him. Maybe there will be a second queen. Women in the Tang Dynasty had an unprecedented desire to be emperors because they had role models and the Tang Dynasty was open enough.
Rather than letting the imperial power fall by the wayside, it would be better to let the prince have some fun while he still has control over the court.
If you do it well, it's your son's fault. If you mess it up, don't blame me for not giving you a chance.
Xuanzong should have thought this way at this time, because in history, even if Li Heng became emperor, Xuanzong could crush him immediately if he wanted to. However, Xuanzong did not do this, and instead stayed as the Supreme Emperor for ten years. This was not his intention. It’s hard to fathom.
Daming Palace, Mingfeng Hall, the emperor's residence.
At this time, a stunning young woman in her twenties in palace attire was standing in front of a big bed with a sad look on her face. Lying on the bed was Emperor Xuanzong who had fainted earlier.
for a long time--
Emperor Xuanzong slowly became conscious. He slightly raised his eyelids, and through a ray of light, he saw a bright environment and the stunning young woman in slightly revealing clothes.
"Where is this?"
"Why am I here?"
As soon as Gao Buyi's three soul questions came out, he felt a splitting headache and fell asleep again. He faintly heard a pleasant voice calling anxiously.
"His Majesty!--"
"His Majesty!--"
After another two days of this, Gao Buyi opened his eyes again. In fact, he was already conscious yesterday, but the intermittent memories in his mind made him lose his mind for a while, especially after knowing that he had traveled through time and became a person. After screwing up the old man, he couldn't let it go for a long time, even though he knew that the other person was the famous Emperor Xuanzong.
Weren't we drinking with friends before and talking nonsense? Why are we here all of a sudden? Oh, by the way, it seems that I fell into the sewer without a manhole cover on the way back when I was drunk, and ended up here when I woke up.
Thinking of this, he felt sad. He once joked with his friends: "If I were to be richest in the world, I would be willing to shorten my life by thirty years."
Now he is not only rich in the world, but also owns the world. However, his old body prevents him from being excited at all. He thinks it is better to be younger.
"I want to go back! I want to go back to the 21st century in 1996, and I want to go back to my relatives." Gao Buyi shouted in his heart, but unfortunately, he failed to do so.
"Alas! -" Gao Buyi struggled for a long time, sighed helplessly and sat up, because he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it. If he didn't get up, he felt like he would starve to death.
"Your Majesty, you're awake!"
A jolt of joy filled his ears, and a scent of fragrant wind entered his arms. It was hard not to knock him down.
After finally pushing away the beautiful woman in his arms, Gao Buyi stared at the bowl of ginseng soup on the bedside with burning eyes.
When he pushed her away, the beauty felt a little sad, and she cried out in a charming and aggrieved voice: "Your Majesty! -" Then the pear blossoms and the rain fell.
However, Gao was extremely hungry. For him, beautiful women were not as valuable as a bowl of hot soup. He picked up the bowl of ginseng soup and drank it in one mouthful.
This small bowl of soup, not much bigger than a cup in later generations, was really indifferent to his long-hungry belly.
"one more bowl!"
After waiting for a long time, no one made any movement. He then remembered that he was in the palace, not a restaurant, and carefully glanced at the stunned people. Gao Buyi blushed for a rare occasion.
With an awkward cough, the people around him were immediately awakened.
"Didn't you hear? Your Majesty wants to eat more, why don't you go and bring it to me!" The young and plump beauty in royal attire who almost knocked him down before raised her eyebrows and said calmly.
Gao Buyi knew that this was Emperor Tang Ming's beloved concubine, Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties. She appeared in most of his fragmentary memories.
When the imperial concubine became angry, the palace maids serving around her were startled and responded quickly in panic.
Taking advantage of Gao Buyi's break to eat, the imperial concubine ordered people to go to Shangshu Province and let the officials who had been waiting go back. Now that it was getting late, they didn't need to visit. His Majesty was fine.
After eating eight bowls in a row, Gao Buyi felt that his stomach was no longer so empty, so he stopped.
Holding an empty bowl in his hand, Gao Buyi was instantly fascinated when he looked at the beauty so close in front of him. No wonder Xuanzong would snatch love from his son, and never go to court again after snatching it away. This woman can be described as flawless.
Perhaps she was a little shy to be stared at by Gao Buyi, so Beauty Yang lightly covered her pink face and showed him a charming smile. It was the colorless pink of the Sixth Palace, and she looked back with a charming smile.
The huge palace felt a little rippled for a moment.
At this time, Gao Buyi provoked Lingling to shiver, and suddenly came to his senses. The ripples just dissipated in an instant. Looking at his old and skinny arms, he felt weak for a while, with such a weak body.
The ginseng soup quickly took effect, allowing Gao Buyi to regain some strength, and he got out of bed.
"Is there a mirror?"
"Come here, bring the bronze mirror." Not knowing what he was going to do, Concubine Yang quickly ordered someone to get the mirror.
"Get ten mirrors." Gao Buyi added quickly.
Soon Gong'e brought ten bronze mirrors and put them away. Gao Buyi was speechless. What could he see?
Considering the current era, he could only sigh in the end and said: "Get a basin of water."
"Go get water quickly." Yang Guifei said quickly.
"Use a black basin."
Concubine Yang was very curious about what Gao Buyi was going to do.
When the water was filled in a black basin, Gao Buyi stretched out his head to take a look and was very satisfied with the reflective effect: "You all get out."
"Get out quickly!"
"You - you - also go out." Gao Buyi pointed at Concubine Yang and Lux.
"Your Majesty—" Yang Guifei yelled a little coquettishly.
At this moment, Gao Buyi just wanted to take off his clothes quickly and check his physical condition, but he didn't have the thought to care about her.
Then he frowned and stared, "Hurry up!"
Concubine Yang was startled by his tone, and finally gave him a sad look, pretended to cry and walked out.
"Close the door, no one is allowed to come in without instructions!"
Gao Buyi's voice came from far away, and Gong'e immediately closed the palace door.
As soon as the door closed, Gao Buyi stripped himself naked in an instant, and then leaned toward the basin anxiously.
Soon, an old man with white hair, wrinkles, flabby muscles, and skinny bones appeared in the basin.
Although he was prepared in his heart, Gao Buyi still couldn't accept it when he saw himself like this. He kicked over the water basin, and then like a deflated ball, he sat on the ground in despair, wanting to cry without tears.
At that moment, he wanted to give himself a white silk ribbon and hang the ball from the rafter.
Sitting on the ground, he seemed stupid, his mind was filled with memories. Thinking about how unbearable he was at this time, he cried and laughed for a day and a night. Only Concubine Yang came in once to look at him. I didn't dare to disturb him, so I put some food for him and quietly left.
In the end, he gradually accepted this reality, because even though he was old and scummy, he still didn't want to die.
Afterwards, he recalled all the knowledge about Emperor Xuanzong in his mind, and combined with the fragmented memories of Emperor Xuanzong in his mind, he set two small goals for himself.
One is to supplement calcium to strengthen the body, and the other is to prevent the Anshi Rebellion from happening.
After making up his mind, he got dressed silently: "Come here, I want to eat lobster and drink pork rib soup!"
The people who had been waiting tremblingly outside the palace gate heard the emperor's order and immediately started to get busy as if they had been granted amnesty.
If the emperor wants to eat, it means he is not dead yet. As long as he is not starved to death, he does not have to die, and everyone is happy.
It was not easy to eat and drink enough, and then he curiously began to look at the Daming Palace of Emperor Tang Ming. He looked to the left, touched it, looked inside the palace, and then walked outside.
Seeing Gao Buyi walk out of the palace, Concubine Yang was speechless. What's going on with this old guy? After finally returning to normal, he didn't even reach out to himself, which was strange.
As everyone knows, Gao Buyi is an agent in the 21st century. Although he has never owned a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged imperial sister, he has definitely seen a lot of them, so when he saw Yang Guifei just now, he was in a trance.
To him, beautiful women were not as attractive as the Daming Palace, which was piled up with exquisite rhetoric by later generations of literati.
He also visited Chang'an in later generations, and the grandeur of the Daming Palace could only be imagined based on the remaining pillar bases. Now that he is there, he can feel its magnificence firsthand. Standing on a high platform, it feels like he is above the nine heavens.
Gao Buyi's first impression of the Daming Palace was its grandeur.
The place where he rested before was the Mingfeng Hall, the emperor's residence in the Daming Palace. Although it was a good place to rest with dense trees and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, he didn't like it. It was just a corner of the Daming Palace and he couldn't see the whole of the Daming Palace clearly.
At this time, he was standing by the white marble railing in front of the Zichen Palace, meditating with his eyes closed. For a long time, he murmured to himself: "Change! The sleeping place must be changed!"
Hearing that he was about to change his bedroom, Yang Guifei, who had been following him, was shocked. What happened to this man? The things he did in recent years have become more and more inexplicable. Is it because of old age and heart failure?
"Your Majesty, don't you like Zichen Palace? You said it is too close to Hanyuan Palace and Xuanzheng Palace, and too far from the Harem."
Looking at Concubine Yang again, she was no longer as stunning as before.
Although Yang Guifei is not short at 1.64 meters tall, her plump figure is not easy for her to be tall.
Another point is that from the 28th year of Kaiyuan to the current Tianbao 6th year since Yang Guifei entered the palace, Xuanzong spent most of the time fooling around with her and ignoring the government affairs, and the power of the court fell into the hands of Li Linfu.
According to historical records, in the sixth year of Tianbao, that is, this year, Wang Sizhong, the last pillar of the Tang Dynasty, was framed by Li Linfu. That is to say, in this year, the 44-year-old An Lushan recognized Concubine Yang as his godmother and got the title of Hedong Jiedushi. , no one can suppress this beast since then.
So much so that the imaginary third baptism ceremony happened later. Thinking of this, Gao Buyi got goosebumps. This woman really knows how to play; and Yang Yuhuan is the daughter-in-law of Xuanzong. This is so ridiculous. People.
