Chapter 2337: Let’s all be well for the rest of our lives

The setting sun shines slantingly on the Chunming Gate in the west of Chang'an City.

Exiting from Chongrenfang, turn to the streets to the south, and ride the carriage straight to the east. You can see the afterglow reflecting on the towering city gate tower, as if it has been plated with a layer of gold, and the golden light is dense.

It was already approaching evening, and there was a constant flow of pedestrians, carriages, and horses at the city gate, but most of them were people entering the city. There were only a few carriages and horses on the side of the city gate leaving the city, and it was very smooth.

A luxurious carriage with carved gold patterns slowly drove towards the city gate. Changsun Chong in the carriage stretched out his hand to lift the curtain. He looked out the window at the bustling streets and the towering and majestic city walls, feeling filled with emotion...


This majestic capital city is filled with the pride of Changsun Chong.

Especially when he was in exile and wandering around the world, stepping on foreign lands and looking at the city of Pyongyang, which was boasted and revered by the Goguryeo people as a god, he became more and more aware of the prosperity, wealth and majesty of the Tang Dynasty. .

Compared with Chang'an, Pyongyang City is simply a market surrounded by gravel...

Behind him, the roof of Tai Chi Palace shines with golden light in the setting sun. It is as majestic and majestic as a palace in the sky. How can it be compared with the dilapidated houses made of stones in Pyongyang City?

Even if he is a fugitive and his fate is in danger, even if he is sitting in the palace in Pyongyang, he will straighten his waist, arrange his robes meticulously, and always raise his chin slightly, showing his pride and arrogance.

Because he is a Tang Dynasty!

The Tang Dynasty is invincible and invincible in the world!

The invincible army with swords and iron cavalry that spans the world, the invincible fleet with sails like clouds that connects the four seas, and the Chinese civilization that spans through the ages and has been passed down forever have together built the never-bending backbone of the Tang people!

His eldest grandson Wuji is the eldest son and grandson of the eldest grandson family who created this magnificent country!

However, now, he has to bear the pain of traveling far away for his past mistakes. This majestic and mighty city has his endless love and hatred, but he doesn't know when he will be able to set foot on the hometown of the Tang Dynasty again and return to the place where he grew up. ……

The carriage leisurely walked out of the city gate. In front of it was a straight road that branched in front of Ba Bridge. One road crossed Ba Bridge and went straight east, passed Li Mountain, crossed Xinfeng, exited Tongguan, and immediately followed the Yellow River down the river. The other road Then it turns southward along the Ba River, bypassing the entire city of Chang'an and reaching Zhongnan Mountain.

Zhongnan Mountain...

Thinking of the rumors I heard in the house these days, an uncontrollable impulse surged in my heart.

"Dangdangdang"

He knocked on the wall of the carriage, and the coachman from outside poked his head in and asked respectfully: "Da Lang, what are your orders?"

Changsun Chong said: "Let the Goguryeo people behind come forward, I have something to say."

"Here!"

The coachman retracted his head and shouted from the shaft, and several horses from behind sped up and caught up.

The few remaining Goguryeo warriors were all dressed as soldiers of the Tang army. Changsun Chong opened the curtain and said: "You will go to Tongguan first. After I have handled a private matter, I will rush to meet up."

The few Goguryeo warriors all frowned and felt dissatisfied, but this was the Tang Dynasty and Changsun Chong's land. They did not dare to say more, let alone ask more questions: "I only follow the instructions of Mr. Changsun."

Changsun Chong nodded slowly and lowered the car curtain.

In front of Baqiao, we parted ways.

The carriage drove briskly on the cement road beside the Ba River, all the way south, then turned west along a path at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, arrived at the Fengshui River, and then followed a mountain path straight into the mountain.

At this time, the sun had set in the west. The trees in the mountains were lush, and the remaining skylight was blocked. The mountains and forests were quiet. From time to time, birds that were about to roost were awakened, and they flapped their wings to break the tranquility in the mountains.

After walking for a long time, the mountain road turned around a hill, and I saw an exquisite Taoist temple nestled in the forest. A stream gurgled from one side of the Taoist temple, and a vegetable patch was opened in the open space beside the stream. However, the light was dim and I could not see clearly. What vegetables and fruits are grown?

It has a tranquil and elegant feel of a paradise, untainted by the mundane world.

The carriage moved forward slowly and arrived in front of the mountain gate.

Changsun Chong jumped out of the car and stopped to look around, his heart racing with excitement...

The emperor gave Princess Changle this Taoist temple. As Princess Changle loved it, she would stay here for a few days from time to time, eat fast, practice Taoism, and cultivate herself. He loved the princess and had stayed with her here several times. He still remembered that Princess Changle washed her delicate feet in the clear stream of the stream. He also remembered that they had personally opened up the vegetable patch by the stream.

Everything in the past, like morning dew, is like a dream, and becomes empty in the blink of an eye.

In just a few years, the loving couple in the past have become completely different and become strangers...

Taking a deep breath, Changsun Chong stepped forward and knocked on the mountain door.

The silent night gradually enveloped the entire valley, casting a darkness, and the crisp sound of knocking on the door spread far and wide in the valley.

"Squeak——"

The mountain gate opened from the inside, and the two guards with helmets and armor pierced Changsun Chong with their sharp eyes, their strong bodies blocking the mountain gate tightly.

"Who are you and why are you knocking on the door?"

The guard's eyes were unkind and his tone was rude. As he spoke, his right hand was already on the handle of the sword at his waist. He could pull it out at any time and launch a thunderous strike.

This place is secluded, and no tourists or travelers will accidentally come here. They are responsible for the safety of Princess Changle and dare not be careless in the slightest.

Changsun Chong has grown a short mustache in the past two years. The vicissitudes of life have made his originally fair face rough. The young master who used to be as graceful as jade has now become a mature and steady young man. His appearance and temperament have undergone tremendous changes. In addition, who He was not expected to show up in Chang'an, so unless someone was very familiar with him, his identity would not be easily seen through.

Moreover, these imperial guards in front of them were all assigned by Princess Changle and Empress Li, and Changsun Chong didn't even know any of them.

He took out a small and exquisite folding fan from his arms and handed it to a guard. He smiled warmly and said: "Your Highness Changle and I are old friends. I want to see you when I return to Chang'an this time. Please give this token to Your Highness." , His Highness will decide whether to see it or not.”

When the two guards saw that Chang Sun Chong's conversation and temperament were extraordinary, they looked at each other. One of them took the folding fan and said, "Just wait here. If you dare to trespass, you will be shot without mercy!"

Changsun Chong smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

The imperial guard said: "Wait a moment."

One person was left staring at Changsun Chong eagerly, and he turned around and entered the Taoist temple.

Changsun Chong stood outside the mountain gate with his long body, his clothes rolled up in the night wind, his face calm and his temperament excellent.

After a long time, footsteps were heard from inside the mountain gate. Changsun Chong's face remained unchanged, but his hands behind his back were clenched tightly. There was both hope and nervousness in his eyes.

The guard who reported the news quickly returned, still holding the folding fan in his hand.

Changsun Chong's eyes narrowed slightly...

The guard returned the folding fan with both hands and said politely: "My Royal Highness has said that the love and hatred at that time will be blown away by the wind. For the rest of our lives, we will be safe and we will never see each other again."

Changsun Chong stood stunned on the spot, the light in his eyes extinguished instantly.

At that time, love and hate were blown away by the wind. For the rest of their lives, everyone will be safe...

Did he gain enlightenment through spiritual practice and overcome the sorrows and joys of life and death in the world, or did he empathize with someone else and love someone else, and could no longer tolerate his ex-husband, who once had a close relationship with each other?

The guard said again: "My Royal Highness has a saying, 'Who is related to one's name and one's body? Which one is more, one's body and one's goods? Which one is gain or one's death? Therefore, if you love too much, you will spend a lot of money, and if you hoard too much, you will be rich, so you will not be content with what you have. Humiliation, if you know how to stop it, it will last for a long time... I hope you will take care of yourself.'"

Changsun Chong blinked and took a long time to react.

He is a descendant of an aristocratic family. Although the eldest grandson's family started with martial arts, they also pay more and more attention to the literary literacy of future generations. The Four Books and Five Classics must be recited fluently.

This sentence comes from the "Tao Te Ching", which means, which one is more intimate, reputation or life? Which is more important, life or property? Which is more harmful, gaining fame and wealth or losing your life? Excessive pursuit of fame, power, fame and wealth will inevitably lead to a huge price; excessive collection of property will inevitably lead to the loss of more property.

Therefore, if you know how to be satisfied, you will not be humiliated; if you know how to stop in moderation, you will not encounter danger; only in this way can you maintain long-term peace.

This is Lao Tzu's outlook on life. People should value their lives and themselves, treat fame and fortune in moderation, and be content with what they have. Only in this way can they avoid danger.

On the contrary, those who work hard for fame and wealth regardless of their own health and strive for fame and fortune will inevitably end up with a sad end of ruined reputation...

This was Princess Changle's advice and warning, and even more so, Princess Changle was explaining to him the reason why the relationship between the two was broken and could not be renewed.

Since your eldest son, Sun Chong, is willing to take risks, rebel and cause chaos for the sake of fame and power, then what am I in your eyes?

If you no longer cherish it, then let it go.

You take your Yangguan Road, I'll cross my single-plank bridge...

Changsun Chong understood that the most important thing in his life, which he thought was lost temporarily but would eventually be recovered, could never be found again. All his hopes and longings were completely shattered at this moment, and it seemed that even his soul had been destroyed. The whole person suddenly fell into a kind of sadness. Even though countless government soldiers behind him took advantage of the darkness to cover up and kill him, he was still unaware of it. (End of chapter)
