Chapter 9: Cry
Zhengde's mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, has a beautiful name. He is of elven blood, his mother is a hybrid of human and blood elves, and his father is simply a pure-blooded night elf. Therefore, in the Tianwu Kingdom, her bloodline is extremely noble.
Empress Dowager Zhang and the former emperor Yunyoutang met at a young age, once traveled together for two years, and experienced the most famous assassination case of the crown prince in the history of Tianwu Kingdom, the "Fengyun Ferry" incident, the two have a strong relationship, Yunyoutang has also become the emperor of Tianwu Dynasty, the second emperor who has only one wife in his life - the first is Emperor Yunqin.
Because of some unspeakable secrets, most of the emperors of Tianwu Kingdom, except for Emperor Yun Qin, were short-lived, and they died at the age of more than a hundred years abound, and Yun Youtang only lived to be one hundred and seven years old, and then died in the sky, leaving only Empress Dowager Zhang, who was ten years younger than him.
After the death of Empress Dowager Zhang in Yunyoutang, she moved to Cining Palace and lived a life of not leaving the gate and not stepping out of the second gate. Don't do the right thing, don't talk about right and wrong, low-key mess.
Yun Youtang and Empress Dowager Zhang only have one son and one daughter, the daughter is still young, but eight years old, was born six years before Yun Youtang's death, named Yun Funing.
Nowadays, except for the two brothers and sisters of Zhengde who ask the Empress Dowager Zhang on time every day, no one usually comes to Cining Palace at all.
In fact, this is not the ruthlessness and unrighteousness of the ministers, in Yunyoutang just passed away, Zhengde only ascended the throne for two years, and the ministers also went to ask for peace every once in a while, after all, Yunyoutang is an emperor who has always been quite generous in the Tianwu Dynasty, and the Empress Dowager Zhang is also a generation of virtuous queens. But perhaps because her husband's death blow was too great, every time the ministers went to greet her, the Empress Dowager Zhang cried to death, so that the ministers did not dare to go again, for fear that the Empress Dowager Zhang would cry something.
After a long time, slowly no one went anymore.
And today, outside Cining Palace, there are two important ministers.
The head of the civil ministers, Prime Minister Li Wei. The head of the military attachΓ©, the secretary of the military department, the generalissimo of the three armies, Sun Nansong.
In addition, there is Tang Dou, who claims to have come to fight soy sauce.
The chamberlains of Cining Palace were startled when they saw this battle, and they even reported to Empress Dowager Zhang, but after a while, they saw that the middle door of Cining Palace was wide open, and more than a dozen maids lined up on both sides, respectfully inviting the prime minister and marshal.
"Wechen has seen the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother good health!" The Thousand Souls Spirit Realm does not have the troublesome rhetoric of those dynasties in Tang Dou's previous life, and is more inclined to go straight, plus there is no kneeling salute, so even if they see the Queen Mother, the group just holds their chests and salutes, and the blessings in their mouths are enough.
"The prime minister and the marshal are here today, but what is the important matter? His Majesty has already left after greeting the mourning family just now, and the prime minister and marshal are afraid that they are a step too late! Empress Dowager Zhang was also surprised that the two important ministers of the humerus would come to this unattended Cining Palace together, and it was even more strange why she brought a young man who was not an entourage at first glance.
Empress Dowager Zhang was looking at Tang Dou, and Tang Dou was also looking at Empress Dowager Zhang.
As a golden eighth-level soul cultivator, the current queen mother's strength is not high, but it is not low, according to the average lifespan of this level of soul cultivation, there is no problem at all to live to three hundred years old. What's more, she also has a high proportion of elven blood - elves are notoriously tender-faced, elven people seem to only have four periods: childhood, youth, youth, and prime, and they don't look old at all, even if they are old enough to die, they don't look more than fifty years old.
So now the Empress Dowager Zhang, who is not yet 100 years old, looks more like a woman who has just married in her twenties-five or sixteen.
The Empress Dowager Zhang was once known as the first beauty in Tianwu, although there must be a bonus point for her identity as the queen at that time, but if she really didn't have enough foundation, she was embarrassed to say it, when Tang Dou sneaked to Cining Palace before, he just took a look at it from a distance, and he only thought it was not bad, but when he looked at it up close today, he couldn't help but feel amazing.
This is a beauty that is comparable to Su Wen, Sha Yunyue, Zhu Yuehuo, Rachel and other best beauties seen by Tang Dou in terms of beauty and temperament.
Her head is in a cloud bun, and even her forehead is made into a cloud shape, resting on her slender eyebrows in a chic manner, which is indeed worthy of the description of "cloud bun condensed fragrance Xiao Dainong". Her hair and temples are arranged into a curved fishing shape, but they are thin and transparent, and the cloud sideburns are sloppy and combed, ethereal like cicada wings, which emphasizes her perfect claw face and silent eyes.
The slender and graceful, delicate body, with the phoenix crown and green clothes, makes her have a kind of fairy beauty that is difficult to climb and fold, and is high on the top.
Just looking at these facial features and temperament, some people believe that Empress Dowager Zhang is a girl in the boudoir.
It's a pity that there is a fly in the ointment, or there is another charm is that there is an indescribable faint sadness between her eyebrows, as if there is nothing in this world that can make her happy.
Empress Dowager Zhang, after the death of her husband Yunyoutang, never smiled again.
It can be seen that his affection is deep.
Perhaps what Empress Dowager Zhang hates most now is her elven bloodline and golden eighth-level strength, which makes her at least have to taste the pain of loneliness and longing for at least two hundred years. And with her status as the queen mother, she is also destined to be unable to break herself.
Looking at the sad face between Empress Dowager Zhang's eyebrows, Tang Dou suddenly remembered Su Dada's words.
"Who is this?" Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Tang Dou and asked with some confusion. But if you look closely at the depths of her eyes, there is a deep jealousy.
Who are Li Wei and Sun Nansong? Human spirits are the kind of people they say. At a glance, they saw the jealousy in Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes, and sighed again in their hearts, even if they had already guessed the ending, they really didn't want to admit it, but ......
Without waiting for Li Wei and Sun Nansong to introduce, Tang Dou himself smiled slightly, held his chest and saluted: "Empress Dowager, Weichen Di Renjie, was originally a wandering adventurer, thanks to His Majesty and the Prime Minister Marshal, so he gave me an official position to walk with a knife in front of the emperor, but what Wechen is really good at is to make fun, Your Majesty saw that the Queen Mother did not smile for a long time, so let Weichen come to amuse the Queen Mother!" β
Li Wei and Sun Nansong looked at Tang Dou with some surprise.
This development seems to be different from what was said, although it was said that it was necessary to act at the opportunity and adapt to the situation, but now isn't this really Tang Dou going to be funny again?
For reasons that they didn't have a good way, the two bigwigs didn't open their mouths to stop it.
"Amused?" Empress Dowager Li showed a look of surprise and muttered: "The mourning family feels that there is no need. Di guards don't have to bother! β
"Actually, when Weichen saw the Queen Mother, he knew that he didn't need it. However, Weichen was brave and thought that the Queen Mother should cry rather than laugh! Tang Dou's words were astonishing, not only was Empress Dowager Zhang surprised, but even Li Wei and Sun Nansong showed shocked looks.
What is this going to do?
was about to stop it, but Tang Dou didn't give them this opportunity, and preemptively said: "People have seven emotions and six desires, joys and sorrows. The Queen Mother's sorrow has never been dispersed, where is the root of laughter? If you cry a lot, you can get rid of the depression in your heart, but it will help your body to be healthy! β
Empress Dowager Zhang was obviously amused by Tang Dou's words: "The mourning family has never heard of amusing people, but has never heard of teasing and crying, I don't know what the Di guards are going to do?" β
"Without him, it's just a poem!" Tang Dou said.
"A poem?" The other three were stunned at the same time.
This thing can also be a poem? The Prime Minister and the Generalissimo cast suspicious glances at Tang Dou.
"Hey, Prime Minister, Marshal, don't underestimate Weichen. When Weichen was in the HRE Kingdom, he was also known as a bucket of wine and a bucket of poetry! Tang Doutian said shamelessly.
"The mourning family is really interested in listening to Di Guard's poems now! Tell me about it! Empress Dowager Zhang bowed.
Tang Dou cleared his throat, paused, and then whispered: "A few years of life and death are boundless, don't think about it, it's unforgettable." The royal tomb has nowhere to talk about desolation. Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost. At night, the bell rang, and the small window was dressing up. There are no words for each other, only a thousand tears. It is expected that the intestines will be broken every year, the bright moon night, and the short Matsuoka. β
A slightly modified "Jiangchengzi" came out like this.
After the poem was written, the whole room was unusually quiet, and the Empress Dowager Zhang fell into a trance, the prime minister and the generalissimo looked at Tang Dou as if they had seen a ghost, and those palace maids who served left and right, but anyone with a little literary background, were all dumbfounded.
Poems are naturally good poems, but daring to read such poems in front of Empress Dowager Zhang also requires enough courage.
"Years of life and death are boundless, don't think about it, it's unforgettable! Your Majesty, you've been away from me for two years! Empress Dowager Zhang muttered in a low voice, and layers of tears appeared in her eyes.
"Queen Mother, the first emperor has elven blood, and his cultivation has reached the crystal level, but he still only lived to be one hundred and seven years old, it can be seen that the artifact of the inheritance of the Martial Kingdom that day is extremely harmful to the body!" Tang Dou suddenly spoke again, and when he heard that Li Wei and Sun Nansong were furious on the spot, they just wanted to stop, but they saw Tang Dou shaking his head at them, with a solemn expression.
The two of them suppressed their excitement and stood aside without saying a word.
"Queen Mother, you and the former emperor met at a young age, childhood sweethearts, and loved each other all their lives. You traveled together to study Tianwu and have been facing the assassination of Fengyun Ferry. The emperor was seriously injured, and the queen mother was not undressed. The Queen Mother was in a low mood, and the first emperor mixed clowns to amuse the Queen Mother. The love between the queen mother and the former emperor can be said to be envious of all the sentient beings in this world! β
Tang Dou's whisper evoked the best memories of Empress Dowager Zhang, and the sadness between the eyebrows dissipated a little, rippling with memories of the beautiful love of the old days.
"But the abominable Tianwu Kingdom inheritance artifact, the inheritance is uneven, and the ancestors do not make up for it, and it is not shallow, so that the first emperor will return to the west at the age of one hundred and seven, leaving the queen mother alone and alone. I also want to watch my son, the crystallization of love between myself and the former emperor, go to the old path of the first emperor. So you hate, you hate that artifact, you hate the inheritance of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, and you hate the ancestors who can't make up for the inheritance. β
"So you let Your Majesty mess around, you don't want Your Majesty to cultivate seriously. However, this is not enough, and it still does not allow the resentment and anger in your heart to vent. That's when you hear, hear a voice, a whisper! β
Tang Dou's tone of words suddenly changed, and his deep tone became a little gloomy.
The expression on Empress Dowager Zhang's face also turned to anger and resentment. The two bigwigs on the side were already numb with shock, they waved away all the subordinates, and ordered the entire Cining Palace to be completely sealed.
And during the whole process, Empress Dowager Zhang did not have any reaction.
She is still deeply immersed in the world that Tang Dou has woven for her.
That world, from the sweetness and beauty at the beginning, turned into grief and resentment.
"A whisper, a whisper. Yes, someone said it to me, someone said it to me, I deserve revenge, I deserve revenge! Empress Dowager Zhang muttered to herself, a little crazy in her expression.
"Yes, Queen Mother. You deserve revenge. Why did the Heavenly Warrior Kingdom want to take away your beloved husband, and why did they take away your children later? You want revenge, you want to let Tianwu fall. So you and that whisper together, created a fake Majesty, and kept issuing decrees that made the Tianwu Kingdom chaotic, and even when Your Majesty escaped from the palace, not only did you not send someone to inform you, but you helped Your Majesty conceal it in advance, which caused the fact that Your Majesty was only known after leaving Xianyang Baili! β
"Why? Because you don't want your son to inherit that artifact, you want to cut off Tianwu's inheritance. As long as Your Majesty doesn't come back, then he will be safe, and as long as he doesn't come back, you won't be able to see him again, but he will be safe. This is the last thing you, a mother, do for your son! That's the whisper's confession! β
"You, how do you know?" Empress Dowager Zhang finally raised her head, and her beautiful and miserable face showed a look of shock.
"Because I'm the enemy of the whispers, and I'm the doctor who came to get you rid of the whispers. Queen Mother, you have been living too hard, everyone wants you to be strong and mourn, but they are not you, why do you want you to be strong? Why do you want to mourn? You have to be grieved, cry, and say loudly that you miss the emperor. What's wrong with that? You are a person, not a stone, you have feelings, your love with the emperor envied the world, why can't you cry the world about the ending between you and the emperor? β
"Cry out, Queen Mother. You need to vent. You need to be nostalgic. No one can stop you from crying, no one can replace your grief. Let's cry! Now you are not the Queen Mother of Compassion, you are just a woman who has died and loved her husband deeply. Cry! Cry! β
Tang Dou didn't know when there was an extra incense in his hand, the incense had been lit, and the faint green smoke slowly penetrated into the nasal cavity of the Empress Dowager Zhang.
"Crying...... I, I wanted to cry too, but everyone didn't let me cry, everyone said......" Empress Dowager Zhang's tears didn't fall, but there was still no crying.
"Where did you come from? There is no one here, there is only you in Cining Palace. Why can't you cry? Women can be unreasonable by nature. To hell with any national events and the manners of the Queen Mother. Cry and cry. If you miss it, you miss it. This world is inherently ruthless, if you want to make yourself ruthless, then what's the point of living? "Others complain that I'm too crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it"! β
Tang Dou shouted, like thunder in the nine heavens, which shocked the Empress Dowager Zhang for a moment, and then, like a child, her mouth pursed, and she sobbed: "I, I miss Your Majesty so much." I miss him so much! β
"yes, what's wrong with missing someone? What's wrong with crying when you're missing? If you don't miss the first emperor anymore, then the first emperor will really disappear in this world. It is precisely because of the Queen Mother's thoughts that the emperor will continue to exist in this world and in the heart of the Queen Mother! β
"Your Majesty!"
With a long cry, Empress Dowager Zhang lay on the bed and cried bitterly. (To be continued.) )
