313, Master, am I beautiful? (30)
When did the princes get the news that their father was dead, Tong Xinlan didn't know, anyway, when they asked to return to Beijing, the six princes had already ascended the throne as emperors.
They have missed the opportunity, whether it is the abolished prince who escaped from the imperial tomb and wanted to return to Beijing to make a fuss, or the four princes who broke out with private soldiers, just because of this, the queen and the new emperor found an excuse to be demoted to concubines, so that they would always guard the mausoleum in the imperial mausoleum.
Seeing the fate of the two brothers, the remaining three princes obediently followed the orders of the first emperor and thought about it for enough time before returning to the capital.
At this point, everything has settled.
As for Tong Xinlan, who thought that her task was almost completed and was waiting to kill Murong Wanyu, she also encountered something she didn't expect.
The new emperor who ascended the throne turned out to be a master of abstinence.
Oh, he is still vulgar now, not called quitting sex, his vulgar name is Li Ke, and he is the chess piece that was poisoned by the first emperor when he was born when he was a child, and used to threaten the queen's obedience.
Tong Xinlan couldn't understand the grievances and grievances in this before, but now she seems to understand, why the national teacher Hou Xunting would support Murong Wanyu so much to kill the master of the ring color, perhaps, it is not just because of hatred for the house and Wu.
Now, the result of all this is good, Jiese is not dead, whether he lives as a monk or as an emperor, anyway, Murong Xinlan's wish has been fulfilled.
The Guogong Mansion was not killed by Murong Wanyu, okay. Xiao Tian's maid can't be regarded as a member of the national government.
Although she was a little shocked, Tong Xinlan quickly accepted the fact that she was the new emperor, and participated in the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.
Occasionally, I also went to see Murong Wanyu, who was chattering more and more.
There are some things that Tong Xinlan will never know, when she is doing the duties that a saint should do, there will always be someone who comes to see her silently, but never disturbs her.
It has been three years since Li Ke ascended the throne, and for a 24-year-old emperor, having no heirs is already a very serious problem. More seriously. He also never took a concubine.
On this day, the queen, who had been promoted to the queen mother, asked Li Ke to come over.
The Queen Mother's body is not as good as before, after drinking a bowl of decoction medicine. After letting the palace maid wipe the medicinal stains off her mouth. Said. "Ke'er, my mother knows that you blame me, and you are dedicated to the Buddha. I don't want to go back to this dirty palace, do you think that if you repeatedly show weakness and repeatedly show that you have no intention of being an emperor at all, your father and your imperial brothers will really let you go?"
"Back then, the former national teacher first took over the position of national teacher, in order to stabilize his position, and in order to make a big event make the court pay attention to him, he said that the star representing you overshadowed the light of the emperor star, hehe, whether this matter is true or not, Li Qi's old man would naturally rather kill by mistake than let go, so he really wants to kill you, Ke'er. The Queen Mother looked at Li Ke's Gujing Bubo's face, and felt bitter in her heart, no mother could not hate or complain when she saw her newborn child being poisoned.
Hearing her say this, Li Ke really showed a surprised expression, "Mother, he actually wanted to kill me for such a reason for the words of that god stick, not to keep the inheritance of the eldest brother born to his beloved woman?"
"Ke'er, you grew up too simple next to the old host of Huguo Temple, my mother didn't have the strength to take revenge back then, my mother just wanted to protect you, so I could only secretly send you to Huguo Temple, the most dangerous place is the safest place, no one will guess, I actually sent you to the temple when you were young, or in the temple under the root of the imperial city, there is no nurse, no palace maid, no one to take care of you, these are all mothers have no ability, mothers are afraid to tell you the truth, and when the time comes, it will cause you to think too much and make big mistakes. ”
"Although the matter of astrology has not been mentioned for a long time, the people behind those princes have never given up on getting rid of you, all these years have passed, they have long found out your identity, and they are ready to get rid of you, we can't sit still, and my mother can't watch you die again. ”
"I can only strike preemptively, strangle everything in the cradle, my mother will do everything well, if you don't sit on this dragon chair, do you think your brother and they will let me go, will they let you go?"
"Is this the reason why my mother drank the poison, led me into the palace, and forced me to ascend the throne?" Li Ke frowned, three years have passed, and now he can still remember that night, the queen mother brought the soup with poison to his father to eat, and the two of them ate the poison at the same time, and at the same time vomited blood.
The first emperor Li Qi was originally angry with several princes, and he took medicine for several days, and after eating this poison, the poison was much faster than the queen.
Li Ke heard that his mother was poisoned, and at that time, he didn't know that it was the queen mother who poisoned herself, and he entered the palace in a hurry and fell into the plan.
The queen mother did this in order to kill two birds with one stone.
One is to kill the first emperor, and the other is to trick him into the palace.
The emperor and queen were poisoned at the same time and critically ill at the same time, and no one would suspect that it would be poisoned by the queen.
Moreover, she had already arranged everything, just waiting for him to enter the palace and logically put him on the throne.
Li Ke felt so tired, although, perhaps, he may be the first person who killed his father, abolished the crown prince and the royal brother, demoted the imperial brother, and became a cheap emperor without fighting in his own palace at all.
However, he really didn't want to be an emperor.
When he was a child, he just wanted to be a good monk, and the master said that it was wrong to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, it was a passive resistance, and when a monk was a monk, then he should have understanding and understand the root of everything.
Later, he met Murong Xinlan.
That's what Master said about his calamity.
Thinking about it now, it was just wishful thinking on his part at that time, Murong Xinlan performed the work of the saint girl perfectly every day, without any distractions, and her heart was not on ordinary affairs.
On the other hand, he is her calamity.
The queen mother harmed this girl's life, originally she was able to do it under the guidance of her loving parents. Marry a husband who loves her and protects her, has a few children, and lives a lively life.
As a result, because he did not accept his mother's plan, he went to become the star whose true light overshadowed the emperor's star, that is, the legendary god himself.
With the status of a prince, if he really took over the protagonist part of the plan, and completed the steps of praying for rain, listening, etc. step by step, what would it be like?
His glory will be close to that of the previous emperor, and the admiration of the common people and officials will make him the uncrowned king. At that time, whether the first emperor wants to or not, the first emperor can only abdicate to him.
But. At that time, he really had no intention of becoming an emperor, rejected the plan of the queen mother, and recited the Heart Sutra in the temple behind closed doors.
If he knew that he refused at the beginning, Murong Xinlan would be chosen by his mother as the executor of the task. In the end, he could not escape the words of the queen mother's calculation to become the emperor. Perhaps he would have agreed to his mother's request.
It's too late to regret it. He could only silently look at the girl who had lost her freedom because of his refusal and could only guard the idol.
When I was a monk, I didn't feel that there was any loneliness in Chang Accompanied Green Lantern. That is a normal thing for him, who has been a monk since he was a child.
However, looking at a girl who was once alive and had a bright future, and began to settle down as an old monk after seeing the people who visited her every day, Li Ke felt very uncomfortable, and he wanted to bear such torture for her.
Of course, Tong Xinlan didn't know what Li Ke was thinking, and she didn't think there was anything boring about staying alone, she closed her eyes and recuperated, she just happened to be able to sort out some of the skills of these worlds, and it was not easy to forget them for too long, see if she could find some and use them in her future work as a saint.
"The queen mother is all for you, Ke'er, the queen mother can't live long, I just hope that you are well, and the queen mother doesn't say that you will open up branches and leaves for the Li family, the queen mother just hopes that before she dies, she can hug the emperor and grandson, and the queen mother hopes that you can promise me, okay?" The queen mother excitedly wanted to hold Li Ke's hand, but the movement was too intense, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Mother, I think again. After Li Ke left the Queen Mother's bedroom, the Queen Mother was silent for a few seconds, and finally asked people to go to the Holy Maiden Palace to invite Tong Xinlan into the palace.
Tong Xinlan, as a saint, can ignore all men's invitations, but Tong Xinlan's invitation from the Queen Mother, who is also a woman, Tong Xinlan still accepted, not only because the Queen Mother is a woman, but also because she always feels that she has met the Queen Mother, an old fox, and there are always some things that are difficult to predict, this Queen Mother is very smart, Tong Xinlan doesn't know what she is thinking, or when, will she sell herself, then the best thing is not to participate in anything, just hide in the Holy Maiden Palace to perform tasks.
"The Queen Mother. "Tong Xinlan, as a holy daughter, naturally doesn't have to give a big gift to the Queen Mother, just bow her head.
The Queen Mother looked at Tong Xinlan fixedly, sighed, pointed weakly, and asked the palace maid to bring a soft stool to Tong Xinlan.
"Sit down. ”
Tong Xinlan sat down unceremoniously, not knowing what the Queen Mother asked her to do this time.
"Go down, all of you, and let no one come in without my commandment. Although the queen mother is not in good health, none of the palace maids in the palace dare to slack off on her, not only because she is the emperor's mother, but also because she is very difficult to mess with and can't guess her mind.
Even the palace maids around the Queen Mother can't guess her thoughts, let alone Tong Xinlan, who hasn't seen the Queen Mother a few times, Tong Xinlan really doesn't know what the Queen Mother called her to do, don't you want her to tell the emperor that the gods are worried that Da Rong, who is protected by himself, has no orthodox heir?
Tong Xinlan deserted in her heart, and the palace maids also retreated one after another and closed the door.
At this moment, the Queen Mother finally spoke, and she also attracted Tong Xinlan's attention.
Covering her mouth and coughing twice, the Queen Mother asked, "Ahem, Miss Murong, do you hate me?"
Tong Xinlan's hairs stood up in fright, "Queen Mother, why do you think I should hate you?"
Seeing that Tong Xinlan didn't answer positively, the Queen Mother smiled, "We don't say secret words, you and I clearly know that being a saint is actually not a good errand, after all, there is no god to let the saint serve, then spending a lonely life here is actually being a nun, far away from your parents, away from your friends, you even lost the possibility of getting married, shouldn't you hate me?"
Tong Xinlan replied without thinking, "Queen Mother, in fact, I like this kind of life that is both quiet and can help others, as for parents, knowing that we are all alive for each other, for us, this is the greatest comfort, and the greatest happiness." ”
The Queen Mother understands the meaning of Tong Xinlan's words, when she found her who needed allies, she wanted to keep her family, so now she will naturally stay in the Holy Maiden Palace with peace of mind in order to protect her family.
These are also things that are in her plans.
The emperor has never been special to anyone, maybe such a special, the emperor himself didn't find out at that time, but she found out, Ke'er was tempted, although he quickly suppressed that kind of careful thinking.
But this is enough, it is a direction that can save the emperor from the rigid education of Buddhism.
However, the Queen Mother was also afraid that the simple Ke'er would be controlled by her beloved woman, so she sent Tong Xinlan to the Holy Maiden Palace.
In fact, Ke'er would feel that accepting the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain was also expected by the Queen Mother, otherwise she would not have been so calm at the beginning, and pushed Tong Xinlan out as soon as possible.
At the beginning, the Queen Mother felt that after returning to the palace and enjoying the rights of the emperor, Ke'er would become a normal person and include three thousand beauties.
Well, at the beginning, the Queen Mother didn't think about this problem at all, she thought about how the supporters of the princes in the court would oppose Ke'er's registration, and thought of how to help Ke'er adapt to dealing with the ministers, but she didn't consider that Ke'er would not be close to women.
Isn't that the most normal need of a man? In the three years that the emperor has been the emperor, he is not even willing to change his clothes with the palace maids, let alone take concubines.
Ay!
When Li Ke went to reminisce about the beautiful time he had lost and went to see the girl he was sorry for, the Queen Mother obviously misunderstood something, and the Queen Mother felt that she had found the truth that Li Ke really didn't touch women.
All things are iniquities of their own making.
Murong Xinlan has the means, wisdom, and knowledge that is similar to that of the previous saints and false saints, and she is really not at ease when such a woman marries Ke'er as a concubine.
In order to free herself from worries, she pushed Tong Xinlan to become a saint.
But now, is this the only motivation that makes his son stop touching a woman's mind?
However, although Murong Xinlan's words just now meant that it was an expedient measure for the survival of her family, the Queen Mother could still hear that she really liked the life in the Holy Maiden's Palace.
The queen mother felt that if she didn't care about it anymore, after she died, Ke'er was afraid that she would really choose a child of the prince to inherit the throne, so she hid in the temple.
Now the only one who can get him out is Murong Xinlan, who he has ever touched, but was sent by her to be a saint. (To be continued.) )
