Chapter 82: Death

"I'm sorry for you."

Emperor Ming Qi held Empress Wang's hand tightly, and tears flashed in his eyes.

The emperor, who was known for his benevolence, was praised by all the people, and recalled his not very long life in an instant.

Emperor Ming Qi was born very difficult, his father, Emperor Gaozong, loved Tian Guifei and responded to Tian Guifei's needs, so that Tian Guifei ran rampant in the palace, killed two queens, and killed I don't know how many palace concubines.

Tian Guifei herself can't have children, so she doesn't ask others to give birth, whenever a concubine in the palace is pregnant, she will poison her openly and secretly, so that Emperor Gaozong has no son or daughter when he is nearly thirty years old.

Empress Zhou married by Emperor Gaozong is a virtuous person, racking her brains for this, wanting to keep the dragon son, just right, at that time, Emperor Ming Qi's mother was pregnant, Emperor Ming Qi's mother Empress Dowager Song was from a humble background, but she was a palace in the palace of Queen Zhou, when she knelt and begged Queen Zhou to keep the fetus in her womb, Queen Zhou knew that she was fortunate by Gaozong and had a dragon fetus.

Empress Zhou tried her best to send the Empress Dowager Song out of the palace, looking for a residential settlement, until Emperor Ming Qi was born, she didn't dare to say about it, until Emperor Ming Qi grew up in the people to be a teenager, Gaozong was a little anxious because of his childlessness, and Queen Zhou brought Emperor Ming Qi back to the palace, but the Empress Dowager Song has been in the people and did not follow back to the palace.

At that time, Tian Guifei was still alive, she hated Queen Zhou, and also hated Emperor Ming Qi, and tried to poison Emperor Ming Qi several times, but she was saved by Queen Zhou and the high-ranking concubines in the palace.

Moreover, Gaozong is very old, and he only has this son, no matter how much he loves Tian Guifei, he will not let her mess around, and Gaozong has also taken action many times to protect his parents.

It's just that Gaozong has a deep affection for Tian Guifei, even if he knows her crimes, he can't bear to be harsh.

Queen Wang is the old acquaintance of Emperor Ming Qi when he was in the folk, the two grew up together, Emperor Ming Qi had made a promise before returning to the palace that he would marry her as his wife when he grew up, and when Emperor Ming Qi came of age, he really asked Gaozong to be the master and married Queen Wang with him.

It's just that although the husband and wife are the emperor's princess and daughter-in-law, but because of Tian Guifei's savings, in the end, the husband and wife share weal and woe, and resist Tian Guifei's means together, Queen Wang for Emperor Ming Qi, miscarriage twice, one of which is a male fetus that has been formed, and the husband and wife have broken their liver and intestines for this.

Fortunately, Tian Guifei passed away early, as soon as she died, Gaozong also died due to excessive thoughts, and Emperor Ming Qi inherited the unification, which can be regarded as no worries.

Emperor Ming Qi is a benevolent person, although Tian Guifei is ruthless, but after Tian Guifei's death, Emperor Ming Qi did not settle the account, nor did he deprive her of the name of the concubine, let alone want to put the Tian family to death.

He also thanked Queen Zhou for her kindness, and always treated this benefactor who was already the Queen Mother, that is, Queen Wang was also respectful and filial to the Queen Mother Zhou and the Queen Mother Song.

In addition, Emperor Ming Qi and Gaozong are equally affectionate, Gaozong loves Tian Guifei, but Emperor Ming Qi is single-minded to the queen, he understands in his heart that Tian Guifei actually loves Gaozong very much, so he can't allow other women to give birth to Gaozong's children, after ascending the throne, there is a vacant harem, such a big harem, only the queen is alone, that is, when the queen gave birth to three daughters in a row, he also withstood the pressure of the previous dynasty and the two queen mothers, and did not accept newcomers into the palace.

When Queen Wang gave birth to the crown prince, Emperor Ming Qi devoted himself to teaching the prince.

Emperor Ming Qi was diligent in court politics, knew people well, and single-handedly created Zhongxing Dayong, but this emperor was killed many times when he was young, and he was injured in the end, and later he was too diligent, too tired, hollowed out his body, and couldn't afford to be sick.

Thinking about his life, Emperor Ming Qi showed a smile, and looked at Queen Wang with a pair of somewhat cloudy eyes full of tenderness: "Zitong, if there is an afterlife, you and I will be husband and wife, only this time, we will be born in an ordinary family and be an ordinary couple." ”

"Good!" Queen Wang nodded tearfully: "I listen to you, even if you want to be a beggar in the next life, I am willing to be a beggar with you." ”

Emperor Ming Qi raised his hand with difficulty and gently wiped away the tears on Empress Wang's face: "Look at you, why are you still crying, when you cry, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart." ”

"I don't cry, I don't cry." Queen Wang held back her tears: "Da Lang, you must be good, if you are, if you are ...... I'll be with you. ”

"Nonsense." Emperor Ming Qi immediately made a straight face, and the whole person was solemn: "Our Ming'er is still young, if I have a good one, he will rely on you to support him, you can't, if you dare to find a short-sighted, I will go underground, and I will never forgive you." ”

Emperor Ming Qi knew that Queen Wang looked gentle on the surface, but she was a fierce person, she had always said and done, and she was very afraid that Queen Wang would go with him, so she took the prince and stumbled Queen Wang: "Zitong, how much effort I have put into this great Yongjiang Mountain, you know it in your heart, how can you bear to let my hard work flow in vain, Ming'er, I still need your care and teaching." ”

Thinking of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who loves to play, Emperor Ming Qi was not at ease and angry.

Queen Wang also knew her son's virtue, so she had to nod: "Don't worry, Dalang, we will teach Ming'er well in the future, Ming'er is smart and will never let down your hard work." ”

"Ming'er, where's Ming'er?" Speaking of the crown prince, Emperor Ming Qi turned his head and looked around, looking for the figure of the prince.

"Ming'er doesn't know ...... you" Queen Wang turned her head and wiped away her tears: "He went to Changning Mansion, and I have already sent someone to call him." ”

"Call Changning, Huaining, and Yongning as well." Emperor Ming Qi sighed: "I miss them." ”

As he was talking, he saw the crown prince Qin Boming in front of him, and the three princesses followed.

As soon as they entered the Ning'an Palace, they felt the oppressive atmosphere, Qin Boming stepped forward in a few steps, looked at his father who was lying on the hospital bed, and suddenly felt great pain, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Father, the sons are here, father, how are you?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Because Emperor Ming Qi only has one son, it has always hurt to the bones, so the prince and Emperor Ming Qi have a deep relationship, and the relationship between father and son is not false at all, seeing Emperor Ming Qi's sick and weak appearance, he is really distressed: "The former son and son came to invite Emperor An's father to be fine, why ...... it"

The three princesses have also knelt down to say goodbye, claiming to be their father, all with sad faces, but still smiling.

Emperor Ming Qi looked at his son and three daughters, and nodded with satisfaction, this imperial family is constantly fighting for the throne, and his children are sisters and brothers, without a trace of estrangement, which is due to the fact that these four children were born to the same mother, and he has always been impartial.

Although Emperor Ming Qi felt that he had fewer sons and his grandson had not seen the shadow, he also loved this rare father-son and daughter-daughter affection, and loved the joy of his children around his knees.

He smiled and told the children to get up, looked at them one by one, and then took the prince's hand and asked: "Father is fine, but he is too tired, just have a good rest, Ming'er, as the prince, you will inherit the unification in the future, and now your father can't handle the government, in the future, you have to worry about your father." ”

"Yes!" The crown prince held Emperor Mingqi's hand with both hands and solemnly promised: "Father and emperor, rest assured, my son will handle the government well." ”

"That's good, that's good." Emperor Ming Qi was very pleased, and called Huang Ping, the chief eunuch: "Huang Bandang, you go and bring today's concerto, and ask the prince to deal with it here and come back." ”

Huang Ping was sad in his heart, but he still smiled and agreed, and turned around to hold a lot of concerts, and the prince who saw it had a headache, but he was a filial child, and he couldn't bear to be disappointed by his father, so he started to deal with it.

Emperor Ming Qi talked to the three princesses for a while, and then asked the queen to take the princesses down, called the important ministers of the court, and told them one by one.

While dealing with the government affairs, the prince listened to Emperor Ming Qi's words as if he was lonely, and knew in his heart that this time Emperor Ming Qi was seriously ill, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do it, and he was sad for a while, and he hated himself for not caring about his father, and he didn't know that his father was so weak that he didn't have a long-term companion these days.

After saying everything that should be said, and the aftermath was explained, Emperor Ming Qi was relieved, he was already tired, and he fell asleep after this relaxation.

In the meantime, the government is handed over to the prince to deal with, the prince is not like Emperor Ming Qi must bow down to everything, he is very smart, all kinds of government are in the hands of capable ministers, listen to the report every few days, and then make a judgment, it is very time-saving and labor-saving.

During this time, Emperor Ming Qi woke up from sleep, woke up and knew what the prince had done, and sighed, only saying that the prince had done a good job.

He has suffered deeply from diligence, knows that everything is too diligent and harmful to his body, and he doesn't want the prince to die young, so he thinks that the prince's method is very good, as long as he entrusts things to the right people, not only is it efficient, but he is also light.

In addition to dealing with the government affairs, the prince is filial piety in front of the bed of Emperor Ming Qi, sending food and feeding medicine by himself, and doing his best, more carefully than the eunuch Gong'e who has served Emperor Ming Qi for many years.

However, no matter what, Emperor Ming Qi's body collapsed, even if he searched for famous doctors and hung himself with the best medicinal materials, he didn't last much time, and before the first month came out, Emperor Ming Qi was already dying.

He once again explained to the prince in front of the hospital bed that he must guard the Dayong River and Mountain, not to disappoint the people, and then entrusted the queen to take care of the prince, and said: "Zitong, I am waiting for you under the spring, when will you come, let's reincarnate together." ”

The queen replied with tears in her eyes.

Emperor Ming Qi grabbed the prince's hand and said loudly: "Ming'er, you must remember that our Emperor Dayong can be merciful to the people, but he must not be merciful to foreign enemies, never be soft-bold, remember the words of Taizu, do not be a minister, do not pay tribute, do not make peace, do not cut the land, do not pay compensation, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." ”

Although there were tears in the prince's eyes, he was still powerful and said loudly with Emperor Ming Qi: "Don't be a minister, don't pay tribute, don't make peace, don't cut land, don't pay compensation, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." ”

"Good!" Emperor Ming Qi smiled, and the hand holding the prince loosened, hanging weakly on the side of the bed. RS
