(New book, ask for recommendation tickets for collection!Please support a lot~~)
Ten years of blessing, Cining Palace.
At the beginning of the snow after the snow, the cold air turned out was worse than when it was snowing heavily, and the palace maid stood quietly under the palace corridor, feeling the cold coming in from the soles of her feet, reaching her heart.
The housekeeper's aunt hurriedly returned, brushed away the cold air outside the main hall, and walked in slowly.
She is in a hurry and wants to tell the Empress Dowager Zheng.
"Niangniang, Master Meng...... went. Blood spattered in the Zichen Palace, but his face was peaceful. Please be relieved. Yunyun's voice was rather low and calm.
She has followed the Empress Dowager Zheng since she was a child, and she is used to seeing life and death in the palace, and the tragic blood splattering situation in the Zichen Palace made her heart tremble, but she didn't show it.
"Wen is dead, martial is dead, Meng Ruitu, as a doctor of imperial history, has all the fame and merits, but only one is missing. Take care of his afterlife, and that's enough. Empress Dowager Zheng said calmly, not sad because of Meng Ruitu's death.
Meng Ruitu begged for benevolence, this death was his ambition, what is the regret?
It must be difficult for those young officials of the Imperial Observatory to forget why and how he died. The blood of Zichen Hall is actually the vitality he buried.
This vitality takes the dynasty as the soil, the time as the rain and dew, and there will always be a time when it will flourish and support the sky.
It's a pity that she can't see it.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zheng's eyes darkened, and her face looked very pale.
She has stopped coughing in the past two days, no longer has to prepare a handkerchief to hide her blood, her spirit is much better than before, and her speech is extremely smooth and natural, and she is relaxed, as if she is back in her youth.
She knew it was a flashback. She's probably been around for the past day or two.
Yun really wanted to say that if it weren't for the emperor's insistence on sending troops to Beining, Lord Meng would not have to die at all, and she also wanted to say that if it weren't for the serious illness of the mother, the emperor would never dare to act so recklessly. But......
She looked at Empress Dowager Zheng's pale face, and finally said nothing.
The imperial doctor has already said that Niangniang is a matter of the past few days, why should she say this again, so that Niangniang will not be happy in the end?
However, Empress Dowager Zheng understood what she was thinking, thought about it, and said: "Don't worry about sending troops to Beining. The mourning family is dead, and sending troops can no longer be. ”
The Queen Mother Bintian, the state has a heavy mourning. With this premise, the emperor must be taboo, how dare he send troops?
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Zheng actually laughed and said to Yun: "The emperor must be resentful, and it is not the right time to die if he is resentful and mourning." When the mourning family was alive, he killed his mother and concubine, and suppressed him to death, even if the mourning family died, he couldn't make him get his wish, hehe. ”
Even if the emperor is resentful, because of his status as a mother and son, and because of his sword and historical writing, he has to endure it until he ...... She took her last breath.
In the final analysis, she is not the emperor's biological mother, the young emperor in the past admired her eyes and was a "queen mother", just because she held a secret guard.
Mother-son relationship? There has never been such a thing.
Yun heard her casually say the word "death", and there was indescribable sadness in his heart, so he only replied in a low voice: "Yes, the emperor will resent Niangniang." ”
Indeed, the emperor resents Niangniang, but there is no way to deal with Niangniang. All the emperor can do is to deal with the dead mother, and he can only use the queen's reputation as a bargain.
As soon as he thought of what he had secretly heard, the grief and indignation in Yunyun's heart tumbled over and over. Niangniang is still alive, and the emperor is already in a hurry to give Niangniang a nickname!
It can only be decided after death, and the emperor wishes that his mother would die early. What's more, the emperor also set such a bad name for his mother!
Empress Dowager Li, how could Yun bear to say this nickname to Empress Dowager Zheng?
......
......
Taishi Building, is the first restaurant of Jingzhao. This first, of course, refers to the fact that this restaurant is the most common place for the magnates to feast and drink, and when I heard that the emperor wore the white dragon fish suit, they all dined in the Taishi Building.
At this time, it was a moment of time, and before the door was opened to welcome guests, the Taishi Building was deserted, and a guy took tea and respectfully sent it to a room on the third floor.
In the room, there were two young people, both of whom were luxuriously dressed and extraordinary. At first glance, they are very similar, except that one of them is older and looks rather sick.
At this time, the younger person said: "Fifth uncle, my nephew got the news just now that the name of the Empress Dowager has been decided, and it is 'Mighty'." ”
As soon as these words fell, the older one sneered and said, "Causing chaos and causing sorrow to the people, tyrannical and rude." It seems that the emperor really hates the Empress Dowager Zheng, this nickname is really amazing! The emperor is very disgusting. ”
The young man was expressionless, just thinking silently: Although he is only nineteen years old, although he has been conscripted since the Queen Mother was seriously ill, the fifth uncle said that he was disgusting...... Seems appropriate.
The older man frowned and continued: "The verdict is the conclusion of the coffin, and the evaluation is positive and negative. Since ancient times, the law has been selfless, which means that no matter whether it is good or bad, it must be faithful to the facts. It's ridiculous that the king of a country is so determined!"
"That's what the fifth uncle said. So......" replied the young man, as if waiting for something.
The older man shaved him and said lazily, "Do you think I'm idle? You go to Han Xichang and tell him what it means to be selfless. ”
The young man nodded, and then left the Taishi Tower.
On the same day, Han Xi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, often played to Emperor Zhiyou: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has been listening to the government for ten years, if you add the evil word of 'Fierce', I am afraid that it will attract criticism from hundreds of officials, so the ministers played: Change one of the words and change it to a beautiful ......."
Han Xi often advocated that Emperor Zhiyou should be in power as soon as possible, and he was very grateful in the past two years. His speech has a lot of weight in the heart of Emperor Zhiyou.
There was silence in the Zichen Palace, and after a long time, the voice of the emperor Qingwei sounded: "Quasi!"
Another day, Empress Dowager Zheng still knew about the decision. However, it was not Yun who said it, but Queen Qian in Kunning Palace sent the news. The news said: The child is trying to find a way to take care of it, please don't worry about the queen mother.
At this point, Empress Dowager Zheng knew that there was a matter of decidation. She spread out the news in the Kunning Palace in front of the clouds, and said lightly: "Don't hide it from the mourning family anymore." Tell me, what's going on?"
Yun knew that he couldn't hide this anymore, so he told the latest development: "Niangniang, the emperor ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites to admonish, and finally decided for Niangniang...... The word 'Li Ping' was set. ”
Empress Dowager Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The mourning family is not dead yet, the emperor is too anxious." However, these two words were unexpected by the mourners. ”
Yun thought she didn't like it, so she immediately said: "Niangniang, the queen is working hard, and she will definitely fight for Niangniang!"
Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Zheng shook her head and said, "No need, that's fine." The law is selfless, and the word 'Li Ping' is very good, very good. One evil and one beautiful, and the good comes last. In the end, the emperor still remembered that the mourning family had raised him. ”
When Yun Yun heard this, he fell silent for a while. She couldn't say the previous "fierce" nickname.
She didn't know why the previous nickname was changed to one word, maybe just like Niangniang said, the emperor still has a trace of old grace.
That's it, too.
Empress Dowager Zheng laughed, this time, it was a sincere smile: "Killing innocents is said to be severe, ruthless and rude is said to be severe; The cloud, this nickname, is really good. ”
She destroyed her family and killed her husband and had no children, because she was violent; she punished the four kings for pacifying the turmoil and stabilizing the government, and she deserved to be peaceful. These two words aptly sum up her life.
Empress Dowager Zheng remembered her life. Although her life is only 30 years, it is difficult to describe the huge ups and downs, the impermanence of ups and downs, and the ups and downs.
Thirty years is too long, and when she looks back, it is like a light veil, and she can't remember many things clearly.
But after entering the palace, she still remembers it clearly.
After going through life and death, she entered the palace at the age of nineteen and became the successor of Emperor Kaixi. In the second year, Emperor Kaixi collapsed, and she called herself a "mourning family".
From the age of nineteen to twenty, in just one year, she destroyed the Zheng family where she was located, killed the imperial concubine Wu, and finally ...... killed her husband and killed the king, and became the queen mother of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
Later, she supported the nine-year-old Emperor Zhiyou to ascend the throne, killed the four princes who rebelled, and listened to the government until now.
Suddenly, it's been ten years.
In her life, she doesn't have much to regret, and she doesn't have many regrets. The blood feud has been avenged, the filial piety has been returned, and the dynasty has been stabilized.
If you have to say that there is any regret, there is only one: the grace is not fully repaid. It's a pity, it's a pity that before she died, she couldn't kowtow in front of the teacher to thank her teacher.
The teacher traveled around the world, and I don't know if it is in Bac Ninh or Nam Jing today. But it will definitely not be in Daxuan, if the teacher is in Daxuan, how can he come to see her......
Empress Dowager Zheng took out a small white jade seal from her arms, handed it to Yunyun, and said, "After the mourning family goes, you will hand over the secret guard in the hands of the mourning family to the teacher." On behalf of the mourners, he said to the teacher...... Forget it, don't say anything. ”
Just give it to the teacher, and the teacher will understand. This secret guard lost Trinity when she killed the monarch, used Trinity when she punished the Four Kings, and used Trinity to deal with Nanjing. So far, there are only a few people left and this small seal.
In the end, she was not filial, which made the teacher sad.
After saying these words, Empress Dowager Zheng closed her eyes tiredly. Then he said almost inaudibly: "In the clouds, the mourning family is unwilling to be buried in the imperial mausoleum." Mourning ...... I don't want to come near him when I'm dead. ”
He - King Ying, the crown prince, the first emperor.
Listening to these last words, Yunyun's eyes were red, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only nod desperately. In her selfish heart, she didn't want to see Niangniang buried in the same cave with the first emperor.
Emperor Xian, it's too ruthless!
If it weren't for the cleverness of the mother, she escaped the catastrophe of death, and then entered the palace and recaptured the secret guard. Then, Bintian's people are not the first emperor, but the mother.
These, even after ten years, are still vivid.
Empress Dowager Zheng closed her eyes tiredly. In a daze, she seemed to see the Ying Dynasty back then, and she smiled. He was so handsome at that time, but at that time she was too young to care about shyness, and she never imagined that the most handsome person would have the ugliest heart.
Fortunately, she still thought about it later, and she could still enter the palace to redeem those mistakes, and this life was in vain.
In a trance, she seemed to see his unwillingness to struggle before he died, and heard him shout while vomiting blood: "I have set you up as my successor, and let you be worshiped by ten thousand people, and you have killed the king...... You...... What else are you not satisfied with?!"
Yes, what is she not satisfied with? At that time, she just stared at him silently and watched him swallow his last breath, and her heart was full of anger; now, she was calm, and she still had the word "Li Ping" behind her, and she was already ...... Satisfied.
Empress Dowager Zheng smiled slightly, feeling that her body suddenly lightened, and finally only heard faint cries.
At the end of the tenth year of Zhiyou, Empress Dowager Zheng Bintian, Chinese New Year's Eve. Empress Dowager Zheng, sneering, and Li Ping, known as the Empress Dowager Li Ping in history.
