"Sit!" Yan Yuan leisurely made tea and talked to Dou Shi, very comfortable. Li Chu and Luo Zhao's sister and brother came together, and Yan Yuan asked them to sit down.

"Ahem!" Yan Yuan coughed lightly, and Li Chu said worriedly: "The body of the mother emperor?"

Yan Yuan waved his hand and said, "My own body knows by itself, how are you doing?"

Li Chu nodded and said, "It's all arranged." ”

Dou Shi took each of them a cup of tea, "It's rare that your mother has this leisure cup to taste her craftsmanship." ”

Li Chu and Luo Zhao both thanked each other, and Yan Yuan asked again: "Why didn't you bring two children into the palace." ”

Li Chu's son Li Xuyang, Luo Zhao's daughter Luo Anping. Unconsciously, Yan Yuan became a grandmother. bowed his head and smiled, "Mother, these days are really fast, and in the blink of an eye, the children have grown up and become parents." My mother's hair is also gray. ”

Even if Dou's face does not change, the sporadic white hair still shows the passage of time, and Dou is old, and she is the same.

Dou glanced at Yan Yuan, "Didn't you give me some kind of elixir, after so many years, I am getting younger and younger, so that I can't even see people." ”

People of the same age are slowly aging, their skin is saggy, there are more wrinkles, only her face, smooth as usual. Therefore, when she meets outsiders, she has to go to great lengths to make herself look older.

Yan Yuan has not grown old for so many years, and the mother and daughter stand together and say that they are sisters, and some people believe them. And some of the elderly's illness, Dou also does not have, Yan Yuan taught her a set of kung fu earlier, practicing every day, she is still in good health, no disease and no disaster.

"If it's not a panacea, how can you keep your mother's youth unchanged. Mother is not sure how much envy you. Yan Yuan's half-serious and half-joking tone told the truth, causing Dou Clan's strange glance to sneer at her, "It's always funny!"

Yan Yuan smiled happily, laughed and coughed, Dou was quite worried, "You've been coughing for a while, let Mr. Sun show you!"

"It's useless, Mr. Sun can cure the disease, but he can't save his life. Since there are no outsiders, there are some things that I will ask clearly. Does Chu'er really want to use that Song Chengzhi as a puppet for the rest of his life?" Li Chu heard Yan Yuan's question, although he didn't think that what he did could hide from Yan Yuan, he paused before saying, "Isn't that good?"

"Are you sure that Song Chengzhi is willing now, and will be willing in the future?" Yan Yuan is a persistent person, although she did not ask Li Chu and Luo Zhao according to her own standards, but there are some things in their bones, they are still similar.

Especially the feelings, and the person next to the pillow.

The corners of Li Chu's mouth hooked up a sneer, "What if you don't want to?"

This was to the point, and everyone present understood the meaning of her words. Li Chu is now a princess, and one day he will be the emperor in the future, originally the emperor, three thousand beauties, Yan Yuan took the woman as the emperor, and over the years, many people explicitly hinted that they wanted to give Yan Yuan away, but Yan Yuan was never moved. Because Yan Yuan has Luo Cheng and has a successor, she doesn't want to do it herself, so there is no entanglement in this matter.

But Li Chu is different, from the moment she was born, her marriage with Luo Zhao has attracted the attention of courtiers, especially after she was named a princess, this attention has reached its peak.

As a child who was taught by Yan Yuan since he was a child with a mind, bearing, and foresight, Luo Zhao was only on the battlefield, but Li Chu was aiming at Yan Yuan, but Yan Yuan once said that if she was unqualified, she would not let her inherit her position.

Zhuyu is in front, although Yan Yuan has opened up the situation that a woman can be the emperor, if Li Chu does not have enough ability, the outcome is obviously predictable.

No matter how the courtiers urged, Yan Yuan carried the surnames of the two children, let alone set up the prince according to the courtiers' request.

"The mother once taught me that there are pros and cons in everything, and it is difficult to do both in the next world, just to see if we can achieve the goal we want. Li Chu took Yan Yuan's previous teachings to persuade Yan Yuan.

"Besides, if I don't marry with the same surname, can I have a better way than now?"

"Song Chengzhi is a smart person, I will always let him know what kind of person I am, listen to me, I will give him a lifetime of honor, glory and wealth are endless, if you don't listen to me, then I will let him die. Compared with Yan Yuan's kindness, Li Chu was even more violent.

Dou covered his face, "Good girl, I was stunned that you were taught like this." ”

Yan Yuan raised his eyes and said, "She wants to be the emperor, isn't she going to ask someone to ride on her head?"

"If only you knew everything. The road ahead is for you to walk, and I can't help you. "I don't know if Li Tai fell in love with her first, or if she fell in love with Li Tai, in short, the son born to Li Chu is born with Li Tai.

Of course, the agreement between them Yan Yuan also knew that Li Chu wanted to marry a concubine in order to block the mouths of the people in the world, but it was in name only, and Li Tai could only have Li Chu alone in his life, but let Li Chu know that Li Tai had violated the agreement between them, and he broke off.

It is because Li Tai has not married yet. Li Shimin also knew the relationship between the two of them, the same surname is not married, it is known to the world, Li Chu must have the surname Li to succeed to the throne, Li Tai, how could Li Shimin want his son to change his surname.

When Li Shimin knew that Li Chu gave birth to Li Tai's son, the indignation in his heart also disappeared.

For so many years, he has been suppressed by Yan Yuan to death, Yan Yuan's way of employing people, and his broad-mindedness, he is convinced, but he can take it again, the throne that is easy to get is held by Yan Yuan, and there is always injustice.

Yan Yuan knew that he was unhappy, but over the years, the major affairs of the country have always been important to him, Li Shimin's reputation among the people and the court is second only to Yan Yuan, not that no one is worried that Li Shimin will take that step, even Li Shimin himself is not sure whether he will take that step, but Yan Yuan is stunned to believe it.

She gave Li Shimin the greatest rights, she never asked what Li Shimin did, sometimes Li Shimin was thinking, how could she be so relieved, but after all, more than ten years have passed, the more stable Yan Yuan's throne is, and he seems to be used to living under Yan Yuan.

But when he heard that Li Chu's child was his grandson, Li Shimin couldn't hide the surging in his heart, that is, after Li Chu, it would be his grandson who would succeed him as emperor!

"With the help of the second uncle, it is like a tiger with wings, what does the mother emperor say?" Li Chu did not hide his thoughts at all.

Dou interjected next to him and said, "I also think Tai'er and Chu'er are quite a good match." Cousins, it's a good thing to kiss and kiss. ”

It's a pity that Li Chu's mother is unusual, unless she is rich, everyone is from her father's surname, she follows her mother's surname, inherits their country, and then she has the same surname as her cousins, and she is not married with the same surname. That can only be repaired openly, and the Chen Cang can be secretly crossed!

glanced at Li Chu, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, thinking that she had many people who wanted to give her a man over the years, even if Li Chu had something to do with Li Tai, then he would not let go of it.

Men and women love, you love me, no one cares, right?

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty is really a dynasty that people like very much, and her time is running out......

In the eighteenth year of Changqing, the empress was seriously ill, and the medicine was ineffective, and the princess was entrusted to King Qin and others in front of the Daming Palace. "After I am gone, I will have you in the first place, and I hope that you will assist her as you do with me. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will definitely assist the princess wholeheartedly. Headed by Li Shimin, Xu Maogong, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Qin Qiong bowed their heads, Yan Yuan beckoned Luo Zhao to come up, and Luo Zhao went up and stood side by side with Li Chu in front of the bed.

"The outside world is very vast, and if you have the opportunity in the future, help your sister go out and have a look, and tell her what the outside world is like, and what others think of us Datang. Yan Yuan instructed Luo Zhao softly, and Luo Zhao nodded, "Don't worry, the mother and the emperor will definitely help you do what you and your father want to do." ”

"For the monarch, beware of the world and act in moderation, these old ministers are all people who have done their best for the Tang Dynasty and died after death, after you ascend the throne, you must treat them well. Yan Yuan told Li Chu, and Li Chu's eyes were slightly red.

"The Queen Mother is here!" A voice came from outside, Dou had already walked in, Yan Yuan was about to get up, Li Chu and Luo Zhao hurriedly helped her up, and Dou went to Yan Yuan's couch, "Yuan'er." ”

Yan Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Dou's hand, "Don't worry, mother, I'm not here, Chu'er will take good care of you." ”

"Am I worried about that? Dou's eyes were already red, how could she have thought that Yan Yuan would walk in front of her.

"It's my unfilial piety to let my mother send a white-headed person to a black-haired person. But life and death are not up to anyone, for so many years, I haven't let my mother suffer the slightest grievance, and I have lived up to my mother's life and pain. Yan Yuan's eyes were full of tenderness, and Dou reached out to caress her face, tears falling like rain.

"It's just that sometimes, I don't know if it's what my mother wants to live like this, or if my mother doesn't want it. Especially in the end, you and your father are strangers, and there are also reasons for me. ”

Dou said: "What does it have to do with you, I don't have Yuan'er's luck, and your father has never been mine alone." Xiao Hui's identity, you hide it from me, he also wants to hide it from me, I really think I'm a fool!"

When it came to Xiao Hui, Yan Yuan was silent, "You feel sorry for me in your heart, I know, once a man's heart flies away, he can't get it back." In the past, they respected each other like guests, but in the end they became strangers, and I am still me, but he is no longer the original him. ”

Yan Yuan is dedicated to her, Dou understands better than anyone else, and because she understands, she will not let Yan Yuan bear the slightest guilt. A woman, her husband is far less important than her children, and her focus used to be on her son, but later, so far, she thinks about Yan Yuan the most in her heart.

Dou said: "People die like lights go out, but fortunately I have a good daughter who has been on my side from beginning to end." ”

Yan Yuan chuckled, "Just do my best." In the future, I also asked my mother to take care of herself. ”

"You've had enough of me in your life. Yan Yuan was still thinking of her, and Dou stroked her hair, "You are for the world, for the Tang Dynasty, for me, but you have never thought about yourself." When I saw you and Luo Chengen in love, I was relieved, but I didn't expect Luo Cheng to die early, for so many years, you have supported this country alone, and you don't even have a caring person, I look really distressed. ”

"I'd rather lack than abuse, I have memories of so many years with Luo Cheng, I have a mother, I have Chu'er and Zhao'er, it's enough. One cannot take everything for all. Mother, you are an elder, I can't ask you to send me. Zhao'er, help your grandmother to the side hall. Yan Yuan felt that his physical strength was draining. hurriedly wanted to send Dou away, how could Dou be willing to go.

"Mother, maybe in the next life, I can still be your daughter. Don't make me uncomfortable, okay?" Yan Yuan spoke to the Dou clan with his palms, and Luo Zhao had already helped the Dou clan, "Grandmother, don't let the mother emperor ......"

Before he could say anything, Dou bit his lip, "If we still have the fate of mother and daughter, my mother will protect you." ”

"Okay!" Dou always felt that Yan Yuan had suffered so much and become so strong, all of which were her faults, she didn't do a good job as a mother, otherwise, Luo Cheng would not have died. No!

Luo Zhao took the Dou clan to the side hall, and Yan Yuan said to the ministers below: "King An has not come, King Lu has not returned, and in the future, as I am here, no one can embarrass King An." ”

All the ministers promised, "As soon as I die, I don't have to be buried in the emperor's mausoleum, so I and the Duke of Yue will be burned." ”

"Your Majesty!" Yan Yuan's mention was too scary, and the ministers didn't dare to respond. Yan Yuan chuckled, "People die like lights going out, I have lived for eighteen more years, and I have kept the Duke of Yue Guo for eighteen years, and I am dead, and it is better to be cremated with him than to be buried in the ground and rot by my body." You can claim that you have buried me, but you should listen to me and burn me clean. If this matter is not for fear of arousing your suspicions, I still want the princess to handle it secretly. What I say, the right history records, and you listen to what I say with your own ears, and do what I do. ”

"Your Majesty!" cried bitterly, Yan Yuan, the emperor, deserved it so well, so good that these people were convinced. Now seeing her sick in bed, I am also very sad.

"For so many years, I have bothered you, I am the emperor, and I am worthy of the heavens and the people of Li, so I am gone, and I am also at ease, at ease. ”

Men don't flick when they have tears, it's just that they haven't reached the sad place, what Yan Yuan just said is modest, throughout the ages, as the first empress, Yan Yuan opened a new dynasty, opened up a wide range of words, embraced all rivers, developed research, and stabilized the country.

The people of the Tang Dynasty have nothing to say. Such a vibrant scene is unprecedented, and it will be in the future, but I don't know if it will ever happen.

"It is my luck to meet all the sages and to be complemented by all the sages. ”

"The ministers have to meet the Ming Jun, and the ministers are also lucky. "Yan Yuan has been in power so far, he has not killed a hero, he can meet Mingjun, start and finish well, it is really difficult, but Yan Yuan has done it.

"In the future, you will cherish it, and I still hope that you will live a long life and do more things for the world!"

In September of the eighteenth year of Changqing, the empress collapsed in Daming Palace, known as Emperor Changqing in history, and the temple number was Shizu. The whole country mourned together, and there was a cry.

Headed by Li Chu and Luo Zhao, Li Shimin and other witnesses, Yan Yuan and Luo Cheng were cremated together, and I don't know what method Yan Yuan used, Luo Cheng died for 18 years and his bones were not transformed, just like back then.

After this incident, Li Chu officially ascended the throne as the second empress of the Tang Dynasty. Connecting the past and the next, a new chapter has been opened.
