The next few months were extremely busy, liquidating the rebels, recalling the old people, appeasing my mother, suppressing Li Xuan... Everything is done by me.

I can clearly feel my weakness, like a mountain that has been hollowed out of the veins, day by day, In the middle of September, without any foreign stimulus, I fell ill alone in the study, thanks to the fairy who came to call me to eat, picked me up in time, and gave me first aid according to the cardiopulmonary resuscitation I had taught before, and then my mother sent Gao Lis, Ah Huan sent Wang De and the lion slave, Cui Mingde, Pei Lansheng and others were also stationed in my home, and everyone worked together to make this period of time perfunctory.

Li Xuan ascended the throne in a hurry in mid-July, but he never lived in the Zhenguan Hall for even a day. The mother lived in the main hall of the Zhenguan Hall until September as the Emperor Taishang, and then the Emperor decreed that Zen was located in the Prince Shouli - now renamed 顼.

This time the ceremony was much more solemn, inside and outside the palace, there were three months of preparation, and it was planned to be held on January 1, that is, the New Year's Day when it was revisited. In this way, both the internal and external subordinates were able to worship the new □□ emperor on the New Year's Day when they were re-reformed, outside the gate of Zetianmen, which is now renamed Fengtianmen.

In the past few months, Shouli has been very silent, although he has participated in our affairs, actions and words, but he has always been like an outsider, and he no longer follows me step by step as before, and has to ask me for my opinion on everything.

I knew he had something on his mind, but I just waited patiently, and only the day before the ceremony did he send someone to take me to the main hall of the East Palace, where he lived.

In a few months, this little man has grown a lot taller, he looks much stronger, and his words stop talking, and he seems to be an adult, only the innocence that cannot be concealed between his eyebrows is still like a milky young man: "I will ascend the throne tomorrow, aunt... Isn't there anything you want to ask me?"

I looked at him quietly: "What does Da Lang want me to ask?"

He pursed his lips, as if he had a lot to say, but in the end, he just lowered his head and sighed: "Auntie... You've been planning for a long time, right?"

I walked over slowly, stood in front of him, and reached out to caress the top of his head, and he meekly rested his heart on my palm, as behaving as the infant child in the beginning: "If you don't want to, it's too late to say now." ”

He looked at me blankly, a little puzzled: "Really?"

I looked at him with a smile and wanted to pinch his face, but finally my hand was on his shoulder: "If you become an emperor, you can do whatever you want, even if you don't want to be an emperor, you can do it." ”

He looked at me thoughtfully, and after a while, Fang said, "Auntie, do you think I am suitable for this position?"

I didn't answer him, just patted him on the shoulder: "Whether it is suitable or not, after all, you are the only one." This is the biggest paradox of the current etiquette and morality, the head of a family, the head of a family, and the king of a country, although it sounds noble, is the object of this etiquette, but in fact he is also the most poisoned by this etiquette. Because you are destined to do this role by birth, whether you are interested in it, whether you are willing to do it, or even whether it is suitable or not, is not considered by etiquette. To the system, people are just an object-like existence, even if they are emperors, they are just more valuable objects, and that's it. Seeing that he frowned at what I said, as if he was a little sad, and patted him on the shoulder half-jokingly, "No one in the world is stupid, and everyone is vying for the position of emperor, and it will never be a bad thing." But it doesn't hurt for you to sit down and try it—I'm afraid you're happy to be the emperor, but I don't want us to get in the way." ”

He glanced at him with a smile, and said: "But you can rest assured, I have no children, and I have always been frail, and I have been feeling weak and short of breath recently, even if I want to restrain me, I am afraid that I will not be able to support it for a few years." After a pause, he continued: "Cui Mingde, Dugu Shao... The people you know in the women's club are also childless, daughterless, homeless, and homeless, these people are really rootless trees for you, and they all depend on your power as the Son of Heaven, so you don't have to worry too much. ”

Shouli looked even more sad, got up suddenly, grabbed my hand and called "aunt", he had long lost his clear juvenile voice, and this voice was even more hoarse, but this whole action, like a teenager who was not more troublesome, was sad and anxious, and stammered "aunt", pursed his mouth for a long time, and finally squeezed out the words he wanted to ask: "Everyone wants this throne, and everyone does not hesitate to abandon his wife, abandon his son, kill his father, and kill the king... The people who died in front of the Tianjin Bridge dyed all the Luoshui red, is that good?"

I smiled and patted his hand: "If it's not good, what will you do? Give up this position to someone whose heart is not as good as yours, and wait for someone to send you, your wife and children, and us to be the dead ghosts in front of the Tianjin Bridge?"

He didn't speak, just hung his head and sighed, I stroked his head and smiled softly: "I know that you are a good boy, and I also know that you have seen so many things, and your heart is disgusted." But escaping is not always the way to go. As a human being, we always have our own responsibilities. As a prince, you enjoy the ultimate wealth in the world, so you should take on the responsibility of the world. What's more, if you don't become an emperor, how can you really change these things that you hate?"

Shouli showed a thoughtful look again, I took advantage of his thinking, and slowly said: "In fact, in the final analysis, it's all the word 'system', when the emperor enjoys all the good things, and no one else can do anything better than the emperor, then the emperor's position, naturally, everyone has to grab it with red eyes - the gap is too big." If you become an emperor, you can be killed and robbed, and naturally everyone will rob it, because if you don't rob it, who knows if you will die next? On the other hand, if you are the emperor, it is just a choice, whether you choose or not, there is no absolute good or bad, but whether it is suitable or not, will there not be so many people to rob it? For example, for politicians, they all follow a certain bottom line, and there are some open rules and regulations that even the emperor cannot violate, will they be more harmonious with each other? Of course, what I'm talking about is just analogies, and there are many other ways. We don't want to, and we don't have the ability to accompany you for a lifetime, these things will eventually have to be explored by yourself. Do you understand?"

Shouli nodded, shook his head again, and wanted to speak, but I stopped him, I smiled at him, and said softly: "But there is one thing I am sure of, that is, when people are old, they are easy to be confused, and it is nothing to stay in their own home, if they sit in the position of the emperor, they will harm others and themselves." The courtiers all have a system of giving leave, and I think that the emperor should also have a custom of giving leave, and when he reaches a certain age, such as seventy... Or if you are weak and sick, you will abdicate yourself, be a carefree emperor, and pass on the responsibility to your next generation, only this one, if it can really be implemented, you can avoid many fights that you don't want to see. What do you think?"

Shouli fell into deep thought.

I knew that he needed to be alone at this time, so I didn't wait for him to speak, I retreated first, and when I arrived at the door, I saw Ah Huan standing outside the side wall, smiling at me with a smile, walking over in three steps and doing two steps, holding her hand and calling "Ah Huan", but she pretended to shake me off, looked at me horizontally, and said: "I thought you were really here to lenien, but I didn't expect you to never forget to peddle your strange ideas, like those people in Jingjiao." ”

I smiled and continued to shake her hand: "Relax his heart, and talk to him about these things by the way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

She glared at me, shook off my hand, and walked slowly, "You're right. The emperor should also have a time of retirement—and people should listen to you!"

I laughed: "He's stupid if he doesn't listen." You don't know, at the time of the immortals, many people longed for retirement, and some people even hoped to retire at the age of forty, and then go to square dance with their spouses, travel, I don't know how comfortable!"

She said to me: "If you think so, then you can retire at the age of forty." ”

I smiled and said, "Why not?" Seeing that she stopped and looked back at me, she also stopped, looked at her seriously and said, "With A-Niang's intelligence, you have seen what it looks like in her old age." She still has children of her own. When we get older, we may be able to control the situation in the DPRK and China like A-Niang? When we are older, we may be like A-Niang, and control the situation in the DPRK and China? My body is not good, and when I am old and unable to do anything, I have no capital to compete with others, rather than coveting power and being coerced in the end, it is better to be more interesting myself, and everyone will be decent, what do you think?"

She glanced at me and said lightly, "I don't care." I'm just afraid that your grand causes, without the support of power, will be like a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water, and it will be empty in the end. ”

I laughed, "That's why I wish I was not alone in what I did." In this way, even if there is no me, or less you, less Cui Mingde, less Ashao... Without anyone, this matter will continue and continue. staring at her, he exhausted the tenderness of his life: "Everything in this world, without you or me, will continue, but if I don't have you, or if you don't have me, the world of the two of us won't be a world anymore." ”

She didn't reply to me, but I knew she listened to it—it didn't matter if I didn't, and when I got old and retired, I was hanging around in front of her every day, pestering her to do this and that, not believing that she had a lot of time to worry about other things.

This is the most important move I learned from my master Shangguan, she used this move to relieve my mother, and I am going to use this move to relieve Ah Huan.

Huan, Huan, Huan.

I whispered her name, caught up with her, and clasped her hand.

On January 1, the three generations of emperors before and after the Imperial Vientiane Shrine held a Zen throne ceremony again. At this ceremony, Wan'er, Cui Mingde and I were all allowed to enter and worship with the ministers. After the ceremony, Shouli personally held his mother's car and walked all the way from Vientiane Shrine to Shangyang Palace. The ministers are called the Emperor of the Holy Spirit of Zetian for their mother, the Emperor of Shunde for Li Xuan, and the Empress Shunde of Yingtian for Ah Huan.

Every ten days, Shouli led his ministers to Shangyang Palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Holy Spirit. All major military affairs have been heard. Then the system of the Emperor of the Heavenly Holy Spirit is said to be the system of the Emperor of Shunde, and the system of the current emperor is said to be the system.

Shouli named me the princess of Changle of Zhenguo, and later changed my title to the princess of Zhenguo. The princess's palace allowed the use of armor to stand every ten paces, holding axes like the prince's guards. The princesses who were born to Shouli will also follow this example in the future.

Six years later, the Emperor of the Heavenly Holy Spirit died and was buried in a separate mausoleum, except for the absence of a temple number, all regulations, as well as future sacrifices, are the same as the first emperor. Emperor Shunde died a day earlier than Emperor Zetian's Holy Spirit.

In the old days, I built a reckless temple outside the Shangyang Palace, and Shangguan Wan'er became a monk here.
