Since giving birth to Zhao Xu, Emperor Zhenzong spent most of his time searching or trying to conceive again rather than visiting her residence.Even though it was a little strange to take a bath in the morning, Blue stepped into the wooden tub.
The warm water enveloped her gently, and a dry flower unfolded on her breast.
She paid no attention to her body but focused on counting the petals.
Once she got lost in the warmth, she feared falling deeper..."Perfected Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, practicing profound wisdom of emptiness.
At that time he sees all five aggregates as empty.
Crossing all suffering.
Subhuti, form is not other than emptiness;emptiness does not differ from form.
Form, in itself, is emptiness;likewise for feeling, perception, formations, and consciousness.
Subhuti, all dharmas are marked by emptiness, they do not come into being, nor do they cease to be."The twelve yellow petals were easily counted, prompting Blue to recite the sutra loudly.
Her chest swelled, her body on fire, about to burst...An old palace lady who attended the Empress Consort heard her scream and paused, muttering a curse under her breath before continuing to wipe the Buddha shrine.
She had seen such scenes countless times in the palace, just as she herself had repeatedly thrown away rice grains only to pick them up again.Spring was here;swallows paired off, and beasts sought mates.
The warm spring breeze stirred many scattered thoughts, causing grass to sprout and willows to turn green.
Then came the blooming of flowers...As Dianxi Plain's snow melted, Yun Zhen returned to Dousha Village after leaving the plain.
The smoke of war had completely ceased.
After a long winter of effort, all matters on Dianxi Plain were finally settled.The remaining Tibetans did not starve or freeze;they happily joined groups led by Huang You and began their new lives.
Some even abandoned their nomadic skills to work as farmers for Song merchants.Regardless of whether they came from Sichuan or elsewhere, the merchants forgot to register these Tibetans.
The county magistrate Liu Xi naturally chose to ignore this, adhering to the principle that officials do not intervene without complaints: "The people are happy;no one complains."Falsified and true bandits were attacking Jianchang Prefecture.
The Dali Kingdom's army was pressing from behind, forcing all fleeing raiders to be killed by their regular troops.
Thus, Cao Rong's distress signals grew more desperate...Yun Zhen had fewer than eight thousand men, but he needed to defend such a vast territory on the Dianxi Plain, especially the Erqu Mountain camp, which required at least five thousand soldiers.
Therefore, Yun Zhen could not spare any manpower for Cao Rong.Whenever a war begins, many things are driven forward.
One point's movement influences the entire situation.
Some gain while others lose;this is an overall rule of the world.Regardless, regular troops cannot defeat bandits—it's shameful.
If Cao Rong abandoned Jianchang Prefecture, he would face severe punishment from the Zhigui Office.The old patriarch said that farming season had arrived, and Yun Family’s land must not be left idle.
