Duchess Weiguo cried like this, and Zhang was embarrassed to say no matter how much calculation she had in her heart.

After staying for a while, Duchess Weiguo slowly calmed down and let Zhang go.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back, we will stay in the mountains for a few days, and when we have done enough Dharma for seven days and seven nights, we will go back." ”

In fact, according to the intention of the Duchess of Weiguo, it is necessary to do the Dharma for 7749 days.

It's a pity that the abbot of Beishan Temple said that this child died when he spoke, and he was buried in the ground for 18 years before he saw the light of day again.

The Zhang family naturally thought that this was a matter for Empress Xiaoyuan, and if she did the ritual for seven days and seven nights, she still had a lot of things at home, and it was impossible to stay here all the time.

So he only accompanied Duchess Weiguo for half a day, and asked his eldest son Shi Meng to visit Duchess Weiguo.

When Shi Meng was young, he was familiar with the aunt of the Duchess of Weiguo, but when he grew up, he was stationed outside with his wife and children all the year round, and he didn't return to Beijing much, and he didn't see much of it.

At this time, I knew that my aunt was still sad because of her hard-working cousin, but I didn't know how to persuade her.

When he met the Duchess of Weiguo, Shi Meng could only say a few words of consolation, such as "Don't be sad, take care of your body".

Duchess Weiguo was sad, and she didn't care about saying anything to her nephew who she hadn't seen for a long time, so after a few words, she asked him to take care of the Zhang family and go down the mountain together.

Zhang's and Shi Meng's mother and son said goodbye to Duchess Weiguo, and Xu Chenglin sent them out of the mountain gate.

From beginning to end, Xu Chenglin's worries were the same as Gao's, and when he saw them go down the mountain, he could finally feel a little relieved.

If the mother is overly sad and desperate to make a fuss, the people who will be hurt the most will not only be the parents who have been heartbroken, but also Cheng Huan, who knows nothing but is already panicked.

However, it is impossible for Cheng Huan to be unharmed at all, he lied to her, how can she deal with herself when she knows all this?

On the way down the mountain, Shi Meng asked Zhang:

"Mother, aunt, are you really doing things for Cousin Cheng Huan?"

"Naturally, it's for your cousin, otherwise, who else is worthy of her to be so excited?"

Zhang didn't believe that Duchess Weiguo would cry like that for others.

Shi Meng was a little hesitant when he heard this:

"But how do I look at it...... In the cremation of the main hall, there seemed to be children's clothes...... Maybe it's because I'm dazzled. ”

Zhang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look back, Beishan Temple had been hidden by the mountains in a bleak winter vastness.

Suddenly, a few old eagles flew out of the withered yellow mountain forest, and there was a hula and a piercing sound.

Zhang's heart skipped a beat, turned around and calmed down, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said:

"No way, maybe it's your cousin's childhood clothes, and now it's all incinerated. ”

After speaking, he ignored his son and quickened his pace to go down the mountain.

Shi Meng didn't want to ask any more questions, so he followed silently.

For the next few days, Beishan Temple practiced things day and night, and many pilgrims who came to offer incense were blocked.

The fact that the Duchess of Weiguo wantonly did things for the deceased Empress Xiaoyuan caused many people to be dissatisfied, and was even used by the Yanguan to impeach the Weiguo Mansion in the early dynasty.

"The reason why the abolished emperor is so deaf and unbearable is that he started from summoning the soul of Empress Xiaoyuan. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, everything should be new, but the Weiguo Mansion occupies the Buddhist temple because of the sacrifice to Empress Xiaoyuan. ”

"What's more, the emperor is discussing the extravagance of sacrifice with his ministers, but the Weiguo Mansion is so wanton with the Dharma, isn't it disobedient to the holy will and wants to reproduce the old things of Xihe?"

Xiao Shaotang sat on the dragon chair and patiently listened to the reasoned impeachment of the official.

Then, without waiting to go back, other ministers seconded or opposed, and directly made his own reply:

"Xi and the old things are caused by the monarch's unvirtuous and disregard for the people of the society, is it because of a deceased person of Empress Xiaoyuan? If the rise and fall of the family and the country are all blamed on women, then the men in the world, as well as the Xi and the old ministers above the court, shouldn't everyone be ashamed to death?"

"Besides, it is normal for parents to mourn their children. I have already heard that the Weiguo Mansion is only doing Dharma for a few days, and the Beishan Temple is not closed for many years, so how can I say that I want to occupy the Buddhist Temple?"

The official also wanted to argue a few words:

"But in this way, the people of the capital have nowhere to go to incense......"

Xiao Shaotang cut him off coldly:

"Isn't there any other temple except Beishan Temple, the huge capital, except for Beishan Temple?

The official was refuted by Xiao Shaotang so mercilessly in public one by one, and he was angry and ashamed, and immediately embarrassed himself.

Fortunately, the official was refuted by the emperor, and it was a common thing for the official to be refuted, so the official was embarrassed for a while, and he stood back silently.

The officials, who had originally planned to echo a few more sentences on this matter, looked at each other, and they all dismissed the idea of impeaching Wei Guogong.

People say that the emperor's heart is the most taboo for the master, but looking at the emperor's meaning, it is not yet the time to taboo the Weiguo Mansion.

The emperor's words and sentences still reveal the maintenance of the Weiguo Mansion, and his words are even more sharp and ruthless, and if he says two more words, the faces of these Xi and his former ministers will be lost.

In the past, they thought that the new emperor had a mild temper, but now it seems that this person who took the throne of God with the intention of killing has any such a mild temper?

Next, Taishi Xi asked the emperor for instructions on abolishing the fiefdom of Emperor Xihaihou.

The news that Xihaihou asked to leave the capital, Xiao Shaotang didn't suppress it, he simply wanted to let him go, it was better to have a good reputation for generosity.

Taishi Xi is now proposing it in public, and he is afraid that he will regret it.

Xiao Shaotang thought about it, since he didn't believe him so much, then there was no need for him to agree so quickly.

"What Master Xi said, I have written it down. It's just that the identity of Xihaihou is different, and this fiefdom, let's think about it again, I can't, I wronged Xihaihou. ”

When Taishi Xi heard this, he knew that the emperor didn't think about it so quickly.

However, the identity of the Marquis of Xihai is special, the too rich fief is afraid that he will have different intentions, and the too barren fief is difficult to block the world's long mouth, and it is also a fact that he can't settle down for a while, and he can't force the emperor too much.

So Taishi Xi took a step back very briskly:

"The old minister knows that the emperor is a Ming monarch, and in this matter, the old minister is waiting for the emperor to decide. ”

In the early morning, Xiao Shaotang went back to the harem, but first called Sanxi over:

"Does the queen know about the matter of Beishan Temple?"

Sanxi is a little slurred:

"The queen mother has already called the lowly to ask, this matter ...... Although I feel that I can't hide it, I don't dare to talk nonsense when I am killed by ...... humiliation.

Xiao Shaotang glanced at him:

"Do you want to hide for Sixi, or tell me about Sixi?"

After speaking, he walked to Huaqing Palace.

Huanhuan already knows, it seems that this matter is still a little tricky.

"After that, the queen asked, did she say or not?"

Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to be angry with Sixi, Sanxi had the courage to chase after him and ask.

Xiao Shaotang only threw him one sentence:

"Weigh it yourself. ”

Sanxi was depressed, what did he mean by weighing himself? If he could weigh it clearly, would it be his turn to be flattered by both sides of Sixi?

Sanxi thought about it and felt that Sixi was better than himself, that is, in front of the queen's mother, there was Qiuyue's internal support, and he knew what to say and what not to say.

He felt that he should also find some internal help.

However, that Ah Hua is unreliable at first glance, or should you go to find Shao Hui? Or is it the fierce Qiu Yu?

As soon as Xiao Shaotang stepped into the Huaqing Palace, Bai Chenghuan greeted him, and in a hurry, the tassels on his bun shook with a loud sound:

"Xiao Shaotang, what's going on with the Weiguo Mansion? Didn't you say that the incense went to the incense, why, how did you go to worship Empress Xiaoyuan?"

If Daddy and Mother take their brother to worship Empress Xiaoyuan, then who is she?

She's right here!

Behind her, Mama Zhong and Mama Zhang trotted out all the way out:

"Queen Mother, slow down!"

Originally, the queen's mother ignored her demeanor and pregnancy, and it was no longer in line with the dignity that the queen should have, but when she heard her open her mouth and called the emperor's name, the two grandmothers were almost frightened

No matter how husband he is, he is now the Son of Heaven!

The next moment, I saw the majestic emperor smiling and embracing the empress into his arms, soothing him softly.

Mama Zhong and Mama Zhang couldn't hear what the emperor said clearly, but at this time, ...... They glanced at each other and led several palace maids in the hall down.

When only the two of them were left in the hall, Xiao Shaotang's voice gradually became louder:

“…… Duchess Weiguo is indeed going to do things, but who said that it is for Empress Xiaoyuan...... It's all rumored by people, it's not for Queen Xiaoyuan at all, it's for a distant relative who has died, don't think nonsense......"

He didn't ask why the Weiguo Mansion was doing things for Empress Xiaoyuan, his wife was so alarmed, and he didn't investigate who the little boy who could make the Weiguo Mansion make a big move.

Since she had decided to accept all the confusing secrets in her heart before, she should not ask anything now.

A person has his own things to protect all his life, if what Cheng Huan wants to protect is the secret in her heart, then what he wants to protect is not only the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but also his joy.

"A little ...... of a distant relative who died"

Bai Chenghuan muttered and repeated, and what flashed in his mind was what Xu Chenglin had said

My father and mother once had a child who died at birth, so I hugged her back!

Could it be that they were just going to do something for the child who died?

But why, in the years when she was still Xu Chenghuan, the family never did Dharma for any children?

It simply doesn't make sense!

Bai Chenghuan's mind, which had just been quiet, began to become chaotic again.

"Xiao Shaotang, I'm going out of the palace, I'm going to Beishan Temple!"

Bai Chenghuan shouted.

Xiao Shaotang coaxed her more gently:

"Huanhuan, don't think about it now, wait in the palace for the people from the Weiguo Mansion to come back, and when the time comes, I will let them enter the palace and talk to you well......"

"No, I have to go now!"

Bai Chenghuan was very resolute, and he was even about to break away from him and go back to the outside.

Xiao Shaotang fished her back:

"If you want to go, you have to be ready to go, and you are not in a hurry. ”

Bai Chenghuan turned his head and stared at him quietly in the crook of his arm, staring at Xiao Shaotang with dark and bright eyes, and his voice suddenly became sharp:

"You don't want me to go at all, do you? Do you want to trap me in this deep palace and don't go anywhere?"

Xiao Shaotang wanted to say no, but in the face of her eyes, he couldn't lie.

Xiao Shaotang tried to calm down before he said slowly:

"Huanhuan, I understand, maybe those things in the past have drawn a very, very deep scar in your heart, even if you are born and come back in this life, you will never be able to forget it, and I have never expected you to forget, but ......"

"After all, you are not alone now, you have me by your side, and you still have our children in your womb. I'm not trying to trap you in the deep palace, but I'm reluctant to face something that will hurt you, you know?"

The one who loves first is always humble, no matter when and where.

This kind of emotion, which has not been seen for a long time, suddenly surged into his heart at this moment, making Xiao Shaotang feel unspeakably depressed and aggrieved.

He feared for her safety and wanted to keep her away from the painful and sad things, but she never seemed to understand, she probably thought he was trying to break her wings!

Bai Chenghuan really couldn't understand:

"But those things are there, if I don't face them, won't they exist? Xiao Shaotang, if I don't face this matter, then I will never be at peace!"

"But what if I say I won't let you go?"

Xiao Shaotang, who has always been tolerant of her, stubbornly refused to give in at this time.

His beautiful phoenix eyes contained some emotions that she suddenly couldn't understand, Bai Chenghuan looked at him for a moment, and suddenly lowered his head.

"Since you won't let me go, then I won't go. ”

She turned around, the long tail of the phoenix robe swept over the exquisite carpet, and there was a hint of compromise in her back.

Just now, his eyes were deep and the corners of his lips were pursed, so much like the young man from Yuzhou in the past.

It seems that as long as she insists on leaving the palace and arguing with him, she will break his heart.

She didn't want to make him sad.

On this day, everyone in the Huaqing Palace knew that from the morning to the late night, the emperor guarded the queen in the Huaqing Palace every inch.

However, the atmosphere between the two is really not good, and the emperor who always likes to talk to the queen on weekdays, and the emperor who coaxes her to be happy is very quiet today.

The queen looked even more depressed, and no one wanted to pay attention to it.

Mama Zhong secretly muttered to Mama Zhang:

"The queen's mother is too stubborn! Now that she is a queen, what else can she say she should do? Shall we persuade her to be a little softer in front of the emperor, and then she is a husband and wife in distress, and the days will be long in the future!"

Mama Zhang is not as bold and fearless as Mama Zhong, but she thinks it's nothing:

"In the end, it's too young, it's still a child's heart, let's see tomorrow, let's be slaves, we can't exceed our duty. ”

Mama Zhong thought about it, and that's it.

But the next morning, they found that the queen was gone. 2k reading web
