Chapter 34: The Rise of the Sunset (8)
How many women in the world envy Xu Pingjun.
She had served in the Jiaofang Palace, and had seen too many power struggles. The women in the harem are also pitiful, most of them are burdened with the trade-offs and high hopes of a huge family, and they can't help themselves. And the very few, from the beloved king, fighting for the harem, fight endlessly. Such a woman is even more pitiful.
Although the queen died young, it is suffocating. But in terms of favoring the king, she is undoubtedly enviable. She met the king in the micro, the wind and rain all the way through, after the king of the royal inheritance of the sky, she was connected to the harem, when the emperor was young, the country was not stable, the dynasty was all powerful ministers, even in such a difficult time, the king still loved her, spoiled her.
In order to please the king, the ministers sent countless beauties, but the young emperor was able to close his eyes and put his bad wife on the throne of the queen, and he was overly favored.
The emperors of previous dynasties, only he Liu Xun can do this.
He loves Pingjun, whether it is Jing Hai or Huafu, for Pingjun, it is just love.
Chun Yuyan fell into the memory.
Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly asked her, "Why did you appear in front of my eyes?" How many years have passed, do you think I am powerless and unintentionally investigated? Every night when I closed my eyes and fell asleep, Pingjun's face appeared in front of my eyes, and she told me that drinking is so bitter, bitter and piercing her tongue, as if she can climb it, and she can't swallow it...... The poison is in the stomach, and the pain is unbearable! The abdominal cramping is very much, and I can't die! ”
And as he spoke, the king wept.
His voice was deep and gentle, as if he was sitting in front of him, and it was his Pingjun:
"In my dreams, Pingjun is sometimes gorgeous, sometimes old and ugly...... Whether it's an old or ugly Pingjun, I like it all. I like ...... I stretched out my hand, but I couldn't touch her. What I touched was the cold of satin...... Suddenly, I woke up and found that the side of the dragon's bed was empty...... I'm not here. It's like this every night, and I can't sleep......"
Chun Yuyan also shed tears. At this moment, she felt that the emperor was so pitiful...... Although he ascended to the great treasure and inherited the throne, he never lost the most ordinary and warmest husband and wife in the world.
The cold of the high places will never be understood by others.
She looked up at the emperor, but saw that the emperor's eyes were full of tears, and he gently bent his index finger to wipe his tears, and he did not shy away from showing the softest and most embarrassing side in front of her...... Maybe it's because she is Chun Yuyan that she killed Queen Gongwai's direct murderer! The Emperor's most embarrassing and painful moments were due to her, and the Emperor did not mind her witnessing his own pain.
The people who experienced this incident back then, except for Chun Yuyan, who fled abroad, have all been killed by him and sent to the underground palace to mourn the queen forever.
Only Chun Yuyan in front of him can perceive the pain of the king so deeply.
Chun Yuyan bowed to the ground, and Qi Qi said: "The servant is here to ask for guilt......"
Before she could finish speaking, the emperor sneered: "Please? You have been on the run for more than ten years, and you have lived a good life! What is the sin now? The mourning queen has turned into a pile of rotten bones under the underground palace! ”
The emperor became more and more excited, and when he spoke, he gasped slightly, and coughed dangerously. He sat with one hand on the edge of the bed and the other on his chest, a little uncomfortable.
Chun Yuyan kowtowed and cried: "For many years, the maid has not had a good time. ”
"I'm not doing well."
"If Your Majesty disembowels her and dispels the hatred in her heart, will the rest of her life be better?"
She looked directly at the emperor, and her voice was deep and haggard.
The emperor was a little surprised when he looked at her. But the king was still overjoyed and angry, and said to her, "You have come to see me so that I can disembowel my belly and dispel my hatred?" ”
"Please cut it in half, the car is cracked......"
The Emperor was a little surprised, not expecting her to say that.
"I'm not busy," the emperor said, "since Emperor Xiaowu, the Han family has deposed hundreds of schools and respected Confucianism, and I don't follow the rules of the Legalists, and I don't advocate excessive punishment." You ask the car to crack and cut in half, and you are not busy, I have a way to deal with you. He said, "Who let you in?" I beheaded him first! ”
Unexpectedly, Chun Yuyan, who was not in a hurry, became anxious at this time, and hurriedly said: "Why should your majesty involve the innocent? The maid has been raised in the Han Palace for so many years, and she understands the power and strategy, and if she wants to design a close to the king, it is too easy for the maid! The maid came to face the king this time, just to ask for sin, if the king provoked a big killing, the maid will not be able to atone for his sins! ”
"You also know that it is difficult to atone?" The king sarcastically said, "If you are heartless and brainless, I will only harm people!" ”
didn't think that the emperor's sentence was poking Chun Yuyan's heart, she bowed down and cried: "For the sins of the year, the maid mourned the death of the queen, and the maid can't redeem her body!" For so many years, the mourning queen has a spirit, and the maid has been atoning for her sins all the time! If your majesty again involves others because of the servant today, the maid is really guilty! ”
"The others are not innocent, even if my servants don't know about it, they can put you in the tent, and they can't escape the responsibility of negligence!" The emperor was angry, and because he announced that Yulin Wei had entered the confession, he ordered all the servants on duty today to be dragged out and cut down.
Today, it is a Ming monarch, and after the ministers and the elders are even more benevolent and charitable, it is still very rare to take people's lives in such a big way.
This night, the king's tent was with him, and he was destined to have no sleep.
Chun Yuyan was also frightened by the king's actions, because he knelt in front of the king and couldn't bow for a long time.
The Emperor waved his hand and motioned for her to stand down.
But she didn't know it, and she was still on her knees. The emperor said: "You go back to Chang'an Prison first and wait for me, and then I will talk about it when I return to the palace-since you hit me yourself, I will never let you go!" ”
Chun Yuyan said: "Your Majesty is Shengming, and listen to the words of the servant." ”
The Emperor closed his eyes and remained silent.
That is to assume that she can tell.
But she didn't argue with herself, because she said: "Your Majesty, when the incident happened, the maid regretted it deeply, because she took Mrs. Huo's money and fled...... The original family had some money and a better life, but they didn't want to be a year later, the eldest son was infected with a vicious disease and died, and for another three years, the little girl was abducted, and the child accidentally fell into the water and died. On such days, the maid does not know what she is trying to do...... In the end, it couldn't be helped, and one year in the spring, this lazy man was caught by his neighbors and beaten half to death because he stole other people's money to gamble...... I went home and struggled in bed for three days, and I survived to death. Chun Yuyan said that he was sad, and kept wiping his tears with his sleeves: "A good home, there is only one servant left, and the maid is depressed at night, thinking about what he did before, he knows that this is retribution!" But why don't you report it to the servant, and hurt the servant's child! ”
Speaking of children, Chun Yuyan has a motherly heart, and she can't cry......
What she says is heartfelt, and it can also move people.
When the emperor heard this, he also thought about it, because he said, "God has taken the life of your child, but let you live, this is the best punishment for you!" He sighed and said, "How can I not be like this?" The loss of the queen, every time I think about it, the pain becomes worse, but I have to pretend to be a different person when I move forward. Over the years, I have been suffering and skinny......"
Because he held back his tears, he refused to say more.
Chun Yuyan continued: "Then one night, the maid dreamed that my three children had entered the underworld, and they cried and shouted to their mother to save them...... The little daughter was cooking in the oil pot, and the louder the shouting, the more the oil pot was boiling, and I realized at this time that maybe my little daughter, who was abducted by a kidnapper, was really dead and had already entered the underworld. My two eldest children sued me that they had done evil for their mothers, so that they suffered boiling oil in the eighteen layers of hell...... I coughed up blood in agony and fainted. When I woke up, I realized that it was a dream, but it was so real, it was really like my three children were really being tied up in a frying pan...... I'm so distressed! But nothing can be done. She wiped her tears with her sleeve again: "There is a layer of sweat on my back, and when the wind blows, it is cold and soaking, and it is cold to my heart...... When I woke up that night, I didn't fall asleep again, I sat up straight and sat all night, and I thought that maybe God was reminding me and showing me a way out, and if I can't atone for my sins in this life, my children will be implicated...... I have nothing left...... I know that I am wrong, and I know that the evil deeds of the people and gods were angry, and I just beg His Majesty to give me a chance to atone for my sins! ”
The emperor was silent for a long time before he said, "Do you want to have peace of mind?" People can't be resurrected after death, and I can't help you. ”
She said, "Your Majesty, the maid still has a little use value!" The maid knows that the maidservant is too much for the deceased, but the mourning queen still has children raised in the Han Palace! The maid can do her best to maintain the prince's growth. ”
The emperor was clever and immediately knew that there was another meaning in her words, so he asked, "How can you say this?" ”
"The things of that year, His Majesty knew eight/nine, but there was still one percent that His Majesty didn't know."
The emperor frowned: "You say." ”
And she recounted it......
The Emperor is horrified! Because he said: "I will settle you first, and you will stay in the Han Palace, whether what you say is credible is not clear, so let's wait and see." ”
Chun Yu Yan Cheng bowed to him, crying and rippling: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
The emperor closed his eyes and said solemnly: "You go first, and I will think about it again." ”
The night breeze is getting cooler. This is where the emperor's mausoleum is located, the place of Chang'an, and the natural popularity is declining. Except for the emperor, there was no one else.
Therefore, in the night, the grass and trees are green, and it is not mad.
The emperor slept at night, and his sorrow was very strong, so he got up in his clothes and took only one of his attendants to follow: "I will go for a walk." ”
That has been serving in the palace for many years, serving is very handy, everything is for the emperor to think thoroughly, and he is also a loyal, because he said: "The emperor's mausoleum is in a remote place, His Majesty is ventilated at night, and he does not bring cronies, but he is afraid that it is not thorough." ”
The Emperor put on a regular robe, because he said, "You are not my confidant?" ”
"The old slave is naturally," the servant was very loyal, and he was not even afraid of touching the dragon's whiskers, and insisted on saying, "But Your Majesty xià...... It's better to be careful, and if you don't say anything, you have to bring the pro-army Yu Linwei with you. ”
The emperor lost his temper like a child: "I walk everywhere, I need to shout the whole battalion of Yulin Guards?" Do you want to sleep? ”
