Chapter 350 Purple Shore and Cute Fairy Talk About Zhong Mi
Yu Zhining was born in 588, and Li Ji (formerly Xu Shiji) was born in 594. Yu Zhining was 6 years older than Xu Shiji.
An Ding Si slapped his forehead, and the tuft of hair on his head stood up with a "whoosh," his eyes widening in surprise:
"Oh my! Sisi remembers now! Back then, when I was chatting with Uncle Pork Tenderloin while munching on candied hawthorns, I learned that in the 640th year of the Tianli era (the 14th year of the Zhenguan era), Crown Prince Chengqian started to 'whoosh' and let himself go! He was so extravagant and indulgent, he practically became a little 'neglecting his duties'!"
"And so, our 'Great Confucian Scholar Protector of the Nation,' Uncle Yu Zhining, just swish swish swish! He unleashed his glittering twenty volumes of 'The Garden of Admonitions,' every word and sentence like a flying sword, 'whoosh whoosh whoosh,' piercing straight into the heart of our Crown Prince brother, offering his earnest advice!"
"And guess what? Our 'Number One Father,' His Majesty Emperor Taizong, glanced at him and exclaimed, 'Wow! This old minister actually possesses such profound literary talent!' With a wave of his hand, he rewarded him! And with a whoosh, like a blessing from heaven, ten catties of gold and three hundred bolts of shimmering silk were bestowed upon him! He was also appointed as the 'Protector of the Crown Prince' (the Crown Prince's Chamberlain)! Wow, this 'three hundred bolts of good fortune' is truly generous!"
A wisp of light lingered at Zi'an's fingertips:
"Hmm~ Little Sisi only knows one thing. In the 641st year of the Tianli era (the 15th year of Zhenguan), Uncle Yu was shrouded in the true meaning of 'filial piety' after his mother's death, and he was going to retire to guard her tomb."
"As a result, our Emperor Taizong frowned, realizing that while 'filial piety' was a great virtue, the 'national destiny' and the dragon's energy were even more crucial and could not be extinguished! He immediately issued a 'sacred edict,' and a golden light sent out the Chancellor Cen Wenben, who spoke with imperial authority: 'My dear minister, do not be blindly immersed in ancient rituals. The flame of this 'tradition' still needs you to add fuel to the fire!'"
The little girl blinked her big eyes, her little tuft of hair bobbing back and forth:
"Eek? And then what happened?"
With a gentle flick of her purple sleeves, she unfurled a scroll painting:
"Later, Uncle Yu had no choice but to reluctantly seal the true meaning of 'filial piety' in his heart for the time being, his body shrouded in a faint sorrow of parting, and he once again donned his official robes and immortal attire. But alas, that Crown Prince 'Young Master'... sigh, still secretly set up the 'Bewitching Illusion Array' (building a music chamber) during the crucial season of busy farming in the immortal fields and the growth of all things, indulging in the enchanting dance of the Heavenly Demon, truly 'busy to the point of being 'only a swaying phantom' left!'"
"Uncle Yu was so angry his white beard stood on end! He once again gathered his righteous energy, transforming it into a remonstrance talisman that shot into the Eastern Palace: 'Your Highness! The current Eastern Palace is a 'nest of extravagance' left over from the Sui Dynasty. There have long been prophecies that it is too frivolous! How can you add more demonic patterns and illusory colors? Must it be 'completely transformed' to be considered truly new?'"
An Ding Si's tiny hands made calculations, and tiny specks of starlight appeared:
"Hmph! That young master, Crown Prince Chengqian, won't listen to any advice! Not only does he ignore it, but he's also brought in a bunch of 'weird and eccentric' eunuchs to set up their schemes and have fun! Uncle Yu's righteous spirit erupted again, and he remonstrated once more: 'Your Highness! These eunuchs are born with flawed foundations and are most skilled in the 'winding paths to the underworld' of flattery and evil arts! Relying on the Emperor's authority, they act arrogantly and sow seeds of disaster through scheming and collusion. If this continues, it will surely trigger a 'reversal of time and space,' and repeat the calamity of the 'chaotic dance in the demon palace' of the previous dynasty!'"
Zi An picked up his brush and drew lines in the air, leaving behind specks of gold:
"Little Sisi hasn't wasted her years struggling in the river of time; the historical context is becoming clearer. That Crown Prince Chengqian was bewitched by the demonic music and actually developed the evil thought of 'devouring his master,' secretly raising 'shadow assassins' to take Uncle's life... Sisi should know about this, right?"
Si Zi clenched her little fists nervously:
"Ugh! I know, I know! I was so scared! That Shadow Assassin's blade almost touched Uncle Yu's beard! But... but he was actually intimidated by the overwhelming aura of loyalty emanating from Yu Zhining! He just couldn't bring himself to do it, feeling that hurting this 'pillar of righteousness' would bring divine retribution, and finally, with a 'whoosh,' he vanished into the shadows, letting him go! What a close call!"
Zi An's brushstrokes are like gold, every word a gem:
"That's right. Later, His Majesty the Emperor was furious and summoned divine thunder from the heavens! A decree of abdication, imbued with supreme imperial power, was issued, stripping Crown Prince Chengqian of most of his 'true dragon destiny' and demoting him to a 'commoner in the mortal world'! Those officials in the Eastern Palace who had been tainted by demonic energy were completely cleansed by the 'righteous energy of heaven,' thoroughly 'purging the sect,' right?"
