CHAPTER XXVI

In the end, it was not the Seventh Highness of Ren Xiaolidan, nor the concubine Niangniang who loved the leaf brand, but the Qingming Festival on the fifth day of the fourth month of April.

The location of the imperial tomb is not too far from the imperial city, just in the suburbs of Beijing, but it still takes about two hours to take the carriage over, so early in the morning, the sky is just bright, and the size of the palace is already ready to go.

Dozens of people of all sizes in the palace gathered at the gate of the palace, a train of carriages had already been prepared, followed by batches of guards, Xuanhe's majestic honor guard, the queen mother, the emperor, the concubine, the eldest princess and the princes of all sizes were already on the car, with the palace gate opened, the carriage also rushed out.

Sitting in the carriage, I finally didn't have to be moved to tears by the little apricot who was chased and pinched by the eldest princess every day, the Qingming Festival is really good!

The carriage in the palace is still guaranteed by quality, although the road is far away, but the road in the imperial city is flat, and it is not too bumpy, after Xiao Xing came to this world, she has always been in the palace, and she has only been out of the palace to the imperial beast park once with His Royal Highness the Seventh, and this is the second time she has been out of the palace.

Due to the clearance of the honor guard, there were no vendors on either side of the road, but just this exposed corner of the imperial city was enough for Xiao Xing to admire.

The neat streets, the towering city walls, the dazzling variety of shops on both sides of the road, dim sum shops, restaurants, jewelry stores, cloth villages, as well as the poetry club, chess club, and book club, occasionally you can see a slightly exposed gap from the closed window, revealing a white coat or a cyan gown, only a pair of eyes, secretly looking towards the central carriage, full of curiosity.

Xiao Xing also saw that some little girls secretly showed their heads, but unfortunately before they could see clearly, they were pulled in by the people in the store.

The carriage drove from Dongcheng to Xicheng, the shops on both sides of the road gradually declined, replaced by trees and households, and when they passed Xicheng, out of the city gate, it was a wilderness, the neat official road was still deserted, only the farmland on both sides of the road was swaying with the wind, and the hard-working farmers were tending to the crops, and now it was the time when the sun was not rising, and when the sun came out and the weather was hot, I am afraid it would be hard.

The carriage continued to pass without stopping, and after passing a large neat field of farmland, it came to a hill.

And this tomb of the first emperor is in the mountains.

The steward of Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain had already gone out to greet him, and the carriages and horses had been arranged in the Huangzhuang, and dozens of people had just taken a break in the Huangzhuang and began to climb the mountain.

The emperor took the lead and walked in the front, followed by the eldest princess and the concubine, and the older prince, and then the court ladies, the queen mother was old, and sat in the soft sedan chair, and the concubines did not have this treatment, they all walked forward, and in the end, there was a group of small radish heads.

In addition to the little nine and little ten who came here for the first time this year, the little five, the six, the seven and the eight have been here many times, although they have not seen this legendary grandfather with their own eyes, but this does not prevent them from having a deep reverence for the emperor's grandfather, so that every time they come, even the most lively little six have a solemn face.

The mountain was very high, and although it was not steep, the road was also long, but in a moment the faces of the women and children were sweaty, but none of them said to stop and rest, but they all tried to persevere.

Finally, half an hour later, they walked out of the mountain, and when they saw the scenery in front of them, even Xiao Xing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

In front of you is a very open place, the trees are verdant, surrounded by mountains and waters, not far away there is a pool of surging blue pool, it is beautiful, and the most eye-catching thing is the mausoleum based on the white jade in the middle.

Majestic and majestic, awe-inspiring, just looking at this mausoleum, Xiao Xing couldn't help but straighten her waist, as if there was a majestic old man standing in front of her.

The emperor had already stepped forward, and the others followed closely behind, and when they saw the "tomb of Emperor Wu Zuwen of the Great Jin Dynasty" on the tombstone, even the emperor couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

Daddy, my son has come to see you!

Speaking of the first emperor, as long as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know that there is no one who is not silent, the first emperor, that is a big ruthless man!

The first emperor is not the first emperor of the Great Jin, but he is the emperor who pushed the Great Jin to the peak of prosperity, it stands to reason that such a big and wise monarch, even if the minister of civil and military affairs does not respect it, but there is no need to be afraid, but in fact, until now, the first emperor has been dead for nearly ten years, and everyone is still silent when they mention this name.

Without him, the first emperor is too ruthless!

The first emperor's background was not glorious, and it could even be said to be embarrassing, because he was the illegitimate son of the emperor left behind at that time, and before the first emperor rose, even the emperor did not know that he had such a son.

And when the first emperor rose, when the emperor sent someone to check the background of the first emperor, he knew that this talented young man was his son.

The emperor at that time was very surprised, he didn't expect that he still had such a promising son, and the son's mother had lived alone for many years to raise her son, and she had never had an affair with anyone, so she went down with a holy decree, and the mother of the first emperor became a concubine in the palace, and the first emperor naturally became the prince.

It's just the daughter of a small household, and the biggest official I've ever seen is just the county lord, where have I seen the palace, and where have I seen the intrigues and tricks in the palace, how can I fight so many cannibalistic calculations in the palace, and the first emperor is excellent, so that his mother became the target of everyone in the palace, and in the end, just two years later, he went to a serious illness.

At that time, the first emperor didn't say anything, and even just expressed his grief, which also made all the princes relax their vigilance, but they didn't expect that the first emperor was just temporarily forbearing.

However, in three years, the first emperor was full-fledged, and it was at that time that the first emperor finally launched a purge that shocked the entire dynasty.

The entire royal family was almost slaughtered, those palace concubines who had calculated his brother and murdered his mother to death, the emperor who coldly watched his mother put his mother in the palace, the imperial doctor who careless about people's lives, and even some clans and nobles involved in the power of the prince were all brought to a pot by the first emperor.

That month, the blood flowed like a river, and it was also called the bloody July by all the surviving civil and military officials.

Afterwards, some people called the first emperor a tyrant, and there were some remnants of the forces who organized some uprisings, all of which were suppressed by the first emperor, and then the first emperor opened the sea ban, fought the state, rejuvenated the country, and destroyed countless enemies, but in thirty years, the Great Jin Dynasty has become a real heaven/dynasty country, and every three years in June, all the states have to come to congratulate.

Of course, because the first emperor was too ruthless, the royal family at that time was ten rooms and nine empty, so that until now, the entire imperial family is almost only the current emperor, and there are few other remnant clans, and most of them are married women.

This is also the reason why there is only one person in the huge imperial mausoleum, and the previous imperial mausoleum was moved to the ancestral land of Guanzhong by the first emperor.

However, although the first emperor was a big ruthless man, he only had a wife for the queen mother in his life, and the two only had a son and a daughter, that is, the current emperor and the eldest princess, many people said that this was the retribution of the cruelty of the first emperor, but the emperor was very admiring of the first emperor.

He remembered that his father took him to ride a big horse and lift him high, remembered the strange things that his father brought back to him every time he went on an expedition, and he remembered that his father personally taught him to write, taught him to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and taught him to write and martial arts.

Although he is a capital scrap compared to his father, his father does not dislike him at all.

His Majesty the Emperor recalled the warmth of the past, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a slight redness in his eyes, completely ignoring the fact that his father was desperate for his son who couldn't help him and turned to teach his grandson.

And under such warm memories, His Majesty the Emperor began to clean up the mausoleum, wiping tears and muttering in his heart while doing so.

"Dad, this year is another good year, the wind and rain are smooth, the country and the people are safe, it must be your blessing!"

"Dad, your eldest grandson got married this year, the younger couple is very harmonious, and they will be able to add you a great-grandson next year, don't worry. ”

"Dad, Wei Qing has always been contradicting me recently, don't worry, I didn't drag him down and spank him when I listened to your words, but every time I feasted on him, the dishes served to him were full of fat meat, and he actually said that I was extravagant, hum! Don't think I didn't see his expression like taking poison/medicine, disgusting him!"

"Dad, I've dreamed of you twenty-three times this year, do you miss me too?"

"Dad, San'er is fifteen years old this year, I let him also go to the court, you don't know, since San'er also went to court, his son is much easier, worthy of the eldest grandson you taught, it's amazing, you say I'll wait for him to be eighteen years old and abdicate, okay?"

"Daddy......"

Xiao Xing stood behind the crowd, looking at the emperor who was working hard to pull the weeds, and then with the words on the emperor's head, she only felt that her mood at this time was simply indescribable.

Is this really the emperor who looks particularly majestic, solemn, and serious?

Although she had been prepared for the emperor's unreliability in the palace of the concubine last time, Xiao Xing never expected that the emperor would be unreliable to such a point.

This, this is a proper daddy!

And it's also an unusually rich inner world, nagging daddy control.

The corners of Xiao Xing's mouth kept twitching, watching the emperor's head continue to flash around, until a line of words appeared on the emperor's head again, Xiao Xing's expression finally cracked.

"Dad, by the way, didn't you say that the jade pillow helps you sleep last time? I have already changed it for Xiao Er, but he doesn't seem to be well, it must be the wrong jade material, wait for me to try to change him with a jade next time!"

Jade Pillow Helps Sleep?

Xiao Xing suddenly remembered the second highness who "is always bad for pillows all the year round", jade cold pillows are such a hard thing, it is strange that they don't fall asleep.

Second Highness, the real culprit of your pillow has finally been found!

It's the person in front of you!

His Majesty the Emperor's son is really a great pit......
