Netizens upload seventy big winds

  The aged Emperor suddenly had a strong nostalgia for his hometown, which he had long abandoned. He missed the gentle spring breeze of his hometown, where he grew up and where his ancestors originated.

  In the spring of the 12th year of Han, Emperor Gao departed from Chang'an and wanted to return to his hometown of Fengpei again.

  "Yi Er," he asked Qi Yi in the Temple of Gods, "are you willing to return home with me?"

  Qī Yì turned her back to the door, and the glass bead curtain fell down, making a soft tinkling sound. From behind the curtain, she was throwing a tantrum, "If you want to leave, then leave! You heartless man, you've long forgotten about us mother and son, what's the point of pretending?"

  Liu Bang smiled wryly.

  All these years, he doted on Qi Yi, spoiling her into this pampered and arrogant temperament. He indulged in it like a sweet treat. But Qi Yi, if one day I'm no longer here, who else can protect you in this vast Han palace?

  Thinking of this, he pitied Zhen Yi and didn't get angry with her. He just faintly instructed, "On the days when I'm not around, you should restrain your temper a bit. The Crown Prince is kind and won't make things difficult for you. If you're bullied or treated unfairly, go seek his help."

  He paused for a moment, then suddenly felt sad, "Don't always be at odds with the empress, she's also a pitiful person. If you can show some weakness and yield a little, you can avoid some trouble."

  "Hmph," Qi Yi thought he was joking and laughed with a silvery ring, then became angry, "Can that old woman also suppress me? If you change your mind, just go to her place. If I, Qi Yi, shed half a tear, my surname won't be Qi."

  The Emperor said no more, gazed once again at the slender figure's back, turned around and strode out of the hall, not looking back.

  "My lady," Pei Lan said timidly, "The Emperor's carriage has already left the Western Gate."

  "Did he really leave?" Qi Yi jumped down from the couch, hastily rushing to the gate of the hall, grasping the pearl on the curtain. Her face was already covered with tears, "I just wanted him to coax me a few words, not that I didn't plan to care about him."

  The peony was as cold as a cicada, gazing at the favored concubine crouching on the ground, yet revealing a look of pity in her eyes.

  "Pei Lan," Qi Yi grasped the skirt of her maid, sobbing to the point of choking, but her expression was bewildered like a child. "Your Majesty, doesn't he want me anymore?"

  "How could it be?" Pei Lan said softly, "Your Majesty has always loved his wife dearly."

  "Alright, alright," Qi Yi burst into tears and smiled, her beauty was like a spring flower. "When he comes back, I'll apologize, and everything will go back to the way it was before."

  The Emperor's carriage left from Xuanping Gate and passed through Ba Bridge, taking the speedway. The carriage moved very slowly, and when it arrived at Pei County, it was already approaching the Spring Festival.

  Marquis of Pei Liu Pi led his fellow villagers and elders out of the city thirty miles to welcome Emperor Gao's carriage, supporting his uncle with a smile and bowing to ask: "Is the emperor's body quite safe?"

  Liu Bang strode through his familiar hometown, his face flushed with a faint red glow, his spirits extremely high. "Great," he said with a hearty laugh, patting Liu Bei's shoulder. "Later, let's have a drink and I'll surely win over you."

  "The nephew is not very frightened." Liu Bi said with a smile, "The accommodation and wine feast for the imperial uncle have been prepared in the Pei Palace. I wish to get the imperial uncle to come and visit."

  The elders and relatives in front of the palace all knelt down, with a respectful expression. Inside the Pei Palace, the bronze wine vessels reflected the mountains, rivers, and blue sky of their hometown. Liu Bang was drinking heavily, looking at the familiar or unfamiliar faces among the kneeling crowd, and laughed loudly. "Today I finally understand what Xiang Yu said in the past. Wealth and honor without returning to one's hometown are like wearing brocade clothes at night. This is indeed the true meaning."

  Suddenly, a clear and melodious children's voice sang out in praise: "Qin lost its deer, the world pursued it. In the past, there was Duke of Pei, who rose from Fengpei. With benevolence and virtue, he protected and cared for the people. One morning, he became emperor, and the world bowed its head. The Han dynasty is vast, the Han dynasty is at peace, how lofty and great! His achievements shine like the sun and moon." 120 children with braided hair walked in from both sides of the palace gate, all wearing plain white robes, their faces clear and beautiful, their movements neat and uniform, lovely to behold.

  Liu Bo smiled and said, "My nephew has chosen these local children, taught them some songs. When the emperor arrives, he will sing in person before the emperor's throne, to amuse the emperor. It is also my nephew's intention to show filial piety."

  "Good, good, good." The Emperor was overjoyed and laughed, saying, "You have a heart, Bo."

  Emperor Gao at the Pei Palace invited all his acquaintances and friends from past days, setting up a banquet like flowing water, drinking heavily for three days. When the wine had reached its peak, he personally got up, struck the drum in front of the hall, and sang a poem himself: "The great wind rises, clouds fly high, power added to the seas, returning to our hometown! How can we get brave warriors to guard the four sides?" The song's passion was overwhelming, expressing all the thoughts in his chest.

  "A mighty wind arose, and the clouds flew high; its power reached within the seas, and it returned to its former home. Who can get fierce warriors to guard the four corners?" Liu Bi recited the poem loudly in his mouth, stood up and praised: "The imperial uncle has a good temperament, a good chest."

  He beckoned to the hundred and twenty boys, "Don't you come and sing for His Majesty?"

  Those one hundred and twenty boys looked at each other and began to sing in unison, "The great wind rises, clouds fly high."

  The singing voice gradually became more harmonious and louder, "Wei Jia Hai Nei Xiang Gui Gu Xiang."

  In the end, his voice was like a clear bell, echoing through the clouds and sky, "How can I get brave warriors to guard the four sides?"

  "Who can get fierce warriors to guard the four sides! Who can get, fierce warriors, guard the four sides." Liu Bang murmured, dancing in the temple, with a heroic and tragic air. Heaven, can you see? Earth, can you see? Green mountains, can you see? Flowing water, can you see?

  "This is my empire. I have fought for it for ten years, and traversed the world to get it. When Qin lost its deer, people from all over the world chased after it. Countless heroes fell, they were defeated, they perished, but I stepped on their corpses and emerged, establishing the magnificent Han dynasty. Countless brave warriors threw away their lives, shed hot blood, just to protect the homeland in their hearts, my Han empire."

  Liu Bang summoned all the close relatives, kings, and high officials, slaughtered a white horse to make an oath, and jointly swore: "The Han dynasty will be ruled by the Liu family, if anyone who is not of the Liu family becomes king, the whole world will attack him."

  I'm old, can't hold the bow anymore, can't ride horses anymore, can't fight battles anymore. Standing at the highest place in the world, I suddenly think of going back to the beginning, to the green hills and clear waters of Fengpei village where I grew up. It was here that I spoke my first words, took my first steps, made my first friend, loved my first woman, had my first child...

  There have been countless ones after me, but my first one is still here.

  Two tears rolled down his already no longer young face. "A traveler is sad for his hometown," he sighed, "I - although I have settled in the land of Guanzhong, after a thousand autumns and ten thousand years, my soul will still be thinking of Pei."

  Every person has a hometown in their heart, and after Father passed away, I missed my hometown extremely. I used to tease him that he wouldn't be able to enjoy his good fortune. But when I grew old, I realized that my longing for my hometown was just as urgent as Father's.

  "I personally defeated the cruel and rebellious, and subsequently obtained the world. I made Pei my fiefdom, restored its people, and for generations to come, there will be no more troubles."

  Generation after generation has nothing to do with it.

  This is the imperial grace bestowed upon my hometown, the elders and fellow villagers of Pei County. May you live in peace and prosperity from generation to generation, free from the suffering of rent and labor.

  The village elders were overjoyed and all knelt before you, bowing deeply without getting up. "We thank Your Majesty for your kindness and generosity."

  Then Emperor Gao appointed Marquis of Pei Liu Pi as King of Wu. He stayed in the Pei palace for over ten days, every day drinking and having fun with old friends and acquaintances, talking about past events from his youth, laughing endlessly. After more than ten days, Emperor Gao was ready to return to Chang'an, but the local elders and relatives were reluctant to see him go. They knelt down in front of the palace gate and begged Emperor Gao to stay in Pei. Emperor Gao waved his hand and laughed from his carriage, "I should head back. If I don't go back, my son will ruin the family."

  The emperor's carriage had left Pei County. Far away, they arrived at the city gate, where Weiwei Zhao rode a black horse in front, waving his hand to look around, and suddenly he was stunned with his eyes wide open.

  The horses and carriages all stopped at once, and the sound of the wheels on the ground ceased. Inside the carriage, Emperor Gao looked out with his hands and asked, "Why aren't we moving?"

  "Your Majesty," Zhao Cheng drove his horse under his carriage and said respectfully. "Look."

  The Emperor Taizu looked out of his carriage and gazed into the distance, for a moment he was stunned and couldn't say a word.

  That is, those are countless parents and relatives of Poyang County.

  These elderly relatives, they wear linen clothes, they tie up their headscarves, they hold wine and food. They raise smiling faces. Thousands of people kneel in the dust raised by the spring breeze on the main road to ask for blessings.

  "Please stay for a few more days, Your Majesty."

  "The rice seedlings have been planted in the field. We invite you to drink wheat wine."

  "In a few more days, the Pei Shui River will thaw. Washing my face with the hometown water and walking far away, I can remember the sweetness of my hometown."

  The old men's voices were a jumbled mixture of high and low pitches, without any rules or regulations, but it was precisely this that made them sound sincere and endearing.

  Liu Bang's expression changed.

  He ordered people to set up a wooden canopy on the flat ground in the city, place embroidered quilts and carved cases, hang silk brocade screens, stay for a few days, and hold a banquet for three days.

  In the middle of the night, Emperor Gao walked in his hometown under the starry sky, with dark night and green grass by his side, and a slight chill of spring.

  "Your Majesty," said the eunuch cautiously, "it's chilly outside, let's go back."

  Liu Bang smiled and looked up at the sky with a carefree attitude, shouting, "The great wind rises, clouds are flying high!"

  A strong wind rises, clouds fly high

  I will return home to Weijiahai.

  Who can be entrusted with the four corners?

  Why be melancholy? Liu San is not a melancholic material. I am old, but my sons and grandsons are growing up one after another. They have vigorous energy and their own ambitions in their hearts. They will inherit the foundation laid by me generation after generation. Thousands of years later, when unknown people walk through this land, they will know that the first person who created the great Han Dynasty was named Liu Bang.

  Liu Bang's heroic spirit was reborn, and he looked up at the sky with a long laugh.

  The stars in heaven will know, I am Liu Bang.

  Liu Bang had drunk too much wine and fell into a deep sleep. As the sky was about to brighten, he dreamed of war drums beating loudly in the sky, and himself wandering around in confusion, only to find no one around him. In the distance, a brave general rode towards him on a black horse, raised his head, and it turned out to be his long-time archenemy, Xiang Yu.

  "Little Liu Ji," Xiang Yu shouted with his spear held high, "I have fought seventy-two battles in my life and never lost one. Today I will fight the seventy-third, come and take my life."

  Liu Bang was shocked and felt that Xiang Yu's tiger-headed dragon halberd had already stabbed in front of him, hastily retreating, and with a cry of "ah", he fell off the bed.

  "Your Majesty——" A cry of surprise came from outside the tent, from one of the inner attendants.

  This fall, however, landed on Liu Bang's left arm. At first, he didn't think much of it, but after half a day, it turned black and blue, like a knife wound. The imperial physician advised Liu Bang to rest, but Liu Bang shook his head and smiled, saying, "I entrust my fate to heaven, what can human efforts do?" He insisted on returning to Chang'an. The elders of Pei County followed him and saw him off again and again. When they could no longer continue to see him off, they knelt down to bid farewell.

  In the spring of the 12th year of Han Dynasty, in March, when peach blossoms were blooming everywhere in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang finally came to the end of his life.

  "Your Majesty," Zhong Changshi said with a heavy expression as he emerged from the palace, "the Emperor has been running a high fever and cannot continue on the journey."

  Zhao turned his head, silently gazing in the direction of Chang'an, as if he could see the soaring eaves of Changle Palace. "What a pity," he said with a sigh, "just half a day's journey short."

  Empress Lü Zhi and Crown Prince Liu Ying rushed to the palace overnight to visit the seriously ill Emperor Gao. When they entered the hall, Liu Bang was just about to throw the medicinal soup presented by the eunuch to the ground, "What kind of quack doctor dares to treat my illness?"

  "Oh, you're here." He raised his eyebrows and sat up high on the couch, looking at his wife and son who had just entered.

  It was as if it were just an ordinary family gathering.

  It's as if all the unfamiliarity, estrangement and contradictions of the past half of life had never existed.

  "Your Majesty," Lü Zhi stepped forward softly, grasping his hand, "when you're ill, you must take your medicine. If you refuse to eat, how can you recover?"

  Liu Bang's face turned red with anger, but he seemed even more spirited. He glanced at Lü Zhi and smiled, "I won't take the medicine, will that make you happy, Empress?" Lü Zhi was stunned and couldn't speak.

  "Ah, Lü Zhi," Liu Bang wanted to change his position, but suddenly felt weak all over, and finally gave in. He looked at his wife in front of him, more than ten years had passed, and the former Lu Zhi from Fengpei village was now old and unrecognizable. "Do you resent me?"

  "It doesn't matter. Blame me, blame me. I promise you, next life when we meet again, I won't marry you."

  What have I given you in this life? In the end, all I can give you is a promise: we will meet again in the next life and never part.

  This is the greatest favor I have ever given you in my life.

  Lv Luan raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, her mouth was bewildered, her heart was bewildered.

  She resented him for his whole life.

  At first, she resented him for not being young enough, not handsome enough, and not outstanding enough.

  He resented her for managing the household when he was away from home, leaving her alone to face all the hardships in the house.

  At the time of being adrift among the defeated troops, I resented him for being unable to rescue me.

  After returning to the Han Palace, she resented him for taking a new wife and forgetting their conjugal love.

  As an empress, she resented him for favoring their youngest son and changing the heir apparent at will.

  When he is about to die, hate him, hate him, make this poisonous oath, and don't have to meet in the next life.

  Lv Lian left with a wobble. Between us, husband and wife for many years, we have tormented each other, even the emotional debt of our next life has been exhausted.

  But when you die, I still feel heartbroken, as if cut by a knife. Whether it's love or hate, we have become flesh and blood connected in each other's lives, and cutting with a knife will inevitably lead to serious injury.

  Lü Zhi covered the door.

  Liu Ji, take care on your way.

  From the beginning of the book, Liu Bang, Lv Lü, Qi Yi have always been a hot spot in the comments section.

  In fact, for myself, I also have a lot of thoughts about these three people in history, so I instinctively spent a lot of ink on them in the first volume. Writing down my understanding of Liu Bang, Lv Zhi, and Qi Yi.

  Right and wrong have their own verdicts, but emotions are complex.

  And the relationship between these three people reached a ** when Liu Bang died. The previous and next three chapters mainly focus on this.

  But Liu Bang, due to his previous ruthless treatment of Lü Zhi's mother and son, was disliked by many people. However, human nature is complex. A person who can rise up in the chaotic world at the end of Qin and unify the country, although a scoundrel, also cannot be denied as a heroic figure.

  This is also another side of him I wanted to portray in these chapters.

  No intention of whitewashing anyone. It's just that every aspect is real, if

  Less written, it feels like I'm not a complete person.

  That's all. Finally, continue to ask for pink votes.
