(Opportunity)
The wind and snow suddenly started, and the news that the emperor was critically ill spread to all the palaces. The four concubines in the harem knelt outside the Yangxin Hall, clenched their fists, and bowed in tears.
To be fair, the feelings of the four concubines towards the emperor are quite complicated. Although the love they once had has been exhausted over time, now the four of them are concubines and have no favors. However, they should have the dignity and the family should have. Some honors and favors were given to him without missing a penny.
The queen is very responsive to our requests. The harem has been peaceful in the past few years since the founding of the country.
It's just that the eyes are different.
If the emperor passes away, according to the ancestral system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the concubines who are childless should be buried with him in the imperial mausoleum.
Who is not afraid of being buried alive?
The door creaked open, and Qin Juan walked out of the Yangxin Hall and said to the fourth concubine: "Get up, Your Majesty, you're awake."
The four people named Liu Fei took a breath and silently recited Amitabha, and the Buddha appeared.
After kneeling for a long time, Concubine Xue stumbled when she stood up. Qin Juan supported her and said with a smile: "Be careful."
Concubine Xue rubbed her knees, glanced at the Yangxin Hall, and whispered: "Please also ask the Queen to advise Your Majesty to take care of yourself. The dragon body comes first, and government affairs are secondary." This was enough. She's being subtle, but what Concubine Xue actually wants to say is that if her health fails, she should abdicate and take care of herself. The prince is not young anymore.
The concubine concubine agreed: "Sister Xue is right."
Concubine Xu said to Qin Huan: "The new year is approaching, and there are many affairs in the palace, so the empress must be careful."
Qin Juan nodded, looked at them, and said after a long while: "Okay."
After the fourth concubine left, Eunuch Sheng bowed and came over with porridge. Qin Juan quickly took it and said: "Eunuch-in-law is already old, so there is no need to do this personally. Just ask Mu Ting to take care of it. Now." Mu Ting was the **** promoted by Eunuch Sheng.
The emperor is ill. Eunuch Sheng has not slept these days. His eyes are dark and blue, and his eyes are red. "I just want to serve you for a few more years."
Qin Juan laughed at him, "I see you just can't bear to be the manager."
Eunuch Sheng’s lips were still trembling. Hearing these words, he laughed again, “Then I’ll just live as an old slave and go back home...”
Qin Juan fed Xiao Yu porridge with her own hands. After a while, she handed the empty bowl to Eunuch Sheng, which finally reassured Eunuch Sheng.
Qin Juan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, but Xiao Yu snatched it away and said, "I'll do it myself."
Qin Jing glanced at him and said: "Take good care of your health. Don't worry about water transportation. Let the prince take care of it."
Xiao Yu looked at and whispered: "I listen to you."
Eunuch Sheng raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Time flies and it is the New Year's Eve. The palace is full of joy. Red lanterns are hung everywhere and couplets are pasted up. The four concubines all come to pay Qin Juan New Year greetings. The concubine is clever and even made a floor-length dress for Anle. , Princess Anle exclaimed: "Your Majesty's craftsmanship is much better than that of your mother! Anle thanked your Majesty."
The sweet-tongued little girl is like a duck to water in the palace.
Many of Concubine Xue’s golden jewelry went into Princess Anle’s pocket.
No one in this palace does not feel pain.
Even after Anle has passed his age, the music of his piano is as beautiful as the sound of nature.
After greetings, the four of them decided to go to Concubine Xu's palace to play cards.
They left one after another, and when no one was around, Qin Juan said to Zhu Xin: "Bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Zhu Xin said: "Your Majesty, do you want to paint?"
"No." Qin Chan said: "Bring me another memorial."
Zhu Xin nodded without knowing why.
It wasn’t until Qin Chan started writing that Zhu Xin knew what his mother-in-law was going to do.
Zhu Xin knelt on the ground with a pop and said, "Your Majesty, you are kind and virtuous."
Qin Huan put the brush.
I have been the only one favored in the palace for more than ten years. I dare not call her virtuous or benevolent. I just want to live my life again. I cannot go through this life in vain.
On the fifth day of the ninth month of the ninth year of Yanxi's reign, the queen personally wrote a letter begging Your Majesty to abolish the system of human sacrifice.
Everyone in the court was in an uproar.
Once Your Majesty agrees, from now on, neither the concubines with no children in the harem nor the eunuchs in the palace will be sacrificed for burial.
Although Xiao Yu was a little surprised when he received this memorial, it makes sense if he thinks about it carefully.
In the eighth year of Yongchang's reign, when the late emperor left, more than a hundred concubines from the harem were buried together, and the palace wailed with blood. At that time, she hid behind him and whispered, "This shouldn't be like this."
Xiao Yu put a big seal on the Queen's fold and handed it to Eunuch Sheng, "Send it to the Ministry of Rites. I have approved it."
Xiao Yu paused and then said: "Ask the prince to come over tonight."
Eunuch Sheng took the folder and bowed in response.
In the evening, the prince entered the palace. He walked in front of the emperor and said, "Is your father feeling better?"
Xiao Yu nodded, "Come and play chess with me."
The prince nodded and smiled: "Okay."
In early spring, insects and birds are humming thickly, and candles are burning brightly.
We sat across the table from each other and concentrated on playing chess. They have been like this for many years, calling themselves king and minister, but more like father and son.
Xiao Yu dropped a sunspot and said, "Although you haven't reached the age of weak crown yet, I have given you a nickname in advance. Si Zhan, what do you think?"
The prince's hand tightened again, Bai Zi, "Thank you, father."
The hall was filled with incense and the chess pieces collided with each other. Xiao Yu said again: "No matter what the government and the public say in the future, you must remember that she is your queen, your biological mother."
Hearing this, the prince paused and slowly raised his eyes. There seemed to be tears in his eyes. "There are many strange stories in the world. My son has read a lot and understands them."
Xiao Yu picked up another sunspot and slowly put it down. His Adam's apple moved slightly and he nodded seemingly casually.
Half an hour later, the white zi in the prince's hand gradually showed the tendency to surround the black zi.
Although Xiao Yu was in a difficult situation, he still looked unhurried.
He picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and took another sip.
No matter how the prince sees this game of chess, he has won, but he doesn't dare to relax at all.
The prince and the emperor have played chess for many years, and they have never won once. They missed several good opportunities because the emperor deliberately gave him the upper hand.
In short, he has been calculated and tricked by his father too many times on this chessboard.
When Bai Zi was about to fall, Xiao Yu said: "Don't think about it anymore?"
The prince replied: "My father taught me that I will have no regrets if I lose my son."
With a click, the winner was decided.
Xiao Yu threw the black piece back into the chess box with a smile in his eyes.
This is the first time in so many years that he has lost to his eldest son.
The night wind blew through the window and ruffled the young man's black hair. Xiao Yu turned around and took out an imperial edict and placed it in front of him.
Father and son are of the same mind, Xiao Yun didn't need to unfold it to know that this was the edict to pass on the throne, "Father!"
Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and squeezed the eldest son's shoulder, and said word by word: "Qianqiu Mountains and Rivers Volume, please answer slowly."
****************
After a drizzle, an ethereal sound came from the mountains.
The Taoist priest went up the mountain panting, raised his hand to lift the futou on his head, opened the door, raised his hand in front of his chest in salute, and said to Taoist Master Lingyun: "Taoist Master, something happened in Beijing. ”
Taoist Master Lingyun has long since retired to seclusion.
He couldn't see, and his hearing was getting worse, but he could hear these words clearly, "What happened?"
The Taoist priest said: "Your Majesty abdicated the throne, the prince ascended the throne, and the country's name was changed to 和."
Taoist Master Lingyun said: "Continue."
"Empress Qin personally wrote a letter begging to abolish the burial of living people. Her Majesty agreed. From now on, there will no longer be a system of burial in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Hearing this, Taoist Master Lingyun nodded slowly.
The Taoist priest stepped forward to help Taoist Lingyun, "The weather outside is very nice, Taoist priest, why don't you go outside for a walk?"
Taoist Priest Ling Yun stroked his silver-white beard and said, "Help me up."
The winter jasmine flowers were blooming everywhere, and they walked forward slowly. The Taoist priest in Qingyi said word by word: "Is this the opportunity that the Taoist Master said back then?"
Taoist priest Lingyun nodded and said nothing.
The Taoist priest in green noticed that Priest Ling Yun's steps were weak and weak. While admiring him, he couldn't help but feel regretful. If Priest Ling Yun had not taken action to extinguish the seven-star lantern, he would not have to bear the karma today.
After thinking for a while, the Taoist priest in green sighed in a low voice: "Without the imperial master of Qi State, peace in the world would have been many years earlier."
Hearing this, Taoist Master Ling Yun suddenly smiled and said: "No."
Tantai Yi was a man of great talent. He had no plans left, and he had great control over the city. He acted cunningly and cunningly. He single-handedly provoked party strife and disrupted the government of the Zhou Dynasty. He also designed to kill 60,000 soldiers and caused internal chaos. The money is empty, but I don’t know that everything in this world has its own number.
If he had not replaced Su Jingbei, with his temperament as a general who governs the country, how could he marry his son to the ambitious King of Jin.
If the Su family married a man, he would belong to the Yanwang sect, and it would be a completely different world.
The national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to be extinguished at the end of the Yongchang year, but the Tantai Yi happened by mistake, and it lasted for hundreds of years.
****************
After the prince ascended the throne, the emperor and the queen mother left the palace and traveled around the world.
Xiao Yu took Qin Juan to Sichuan as promised.
Drinking Sichuan wine and eating fish heads, Xiao Yu kept laughing and said, "No matter how I persuaded you to eat fish before, you wouldn't eat it."
Qin Chan said: "In the past, they were all steamed and had a fishy smell. I want to only eat spicy food."
Xiao Yu raised his hand to wipe the reddish spicy oil from the corner of his mouth.
After a while, the shopkeeper came over, cleared the table for them with a handkerchief, and said, "Young master, do you want more wine?"
Qin Chan, who was dressed as a man, said: "I want another altar."
Xiao Yu held the palm of his hand at the table and said, "You still want to drink? Don't you want to climb Mount Emei? Do you want me to carry you to climb the mountain?"
Qin Jing leaned over and put her hand on his shoulder, "Then do you want to carry it on your back?"
Xiao Yu deliberately poked his belly and said with a smile: "Eat less and I will carry you."
The people who only had eyes for each other didn't notice at all. The shopkeeper's face was already green and his sleeves were about to be torn off.
“The sky in Emei is beautiful, and the weather is diverse; one mountain contains four seasons, and the sky is different inside.”
The emperor and his wife wandered around Shu for half a year, and then went back to their old place on the Qinhuai River. When they returned to the capital, it was already and years.
Xiao Yu and Qin Juan were used to living outside and did not want to return to the palace, so they simply moved to Lishan to retire.
Eunuch Sheng was getting older and could not remember things more and more, so he retired and returned to his hometown. It was Eunuch Mu who went up to the mountain to serve the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
The sun was shining brightly, and Eunuch Mu called to the young eunuchs, "Come on, come on, please listen to us. All the Emperor's old things will be moved to Changning Palace, so cheer up."
"Father, where do you put this rosewood double drawer box?"
"Just put it on the ground."
