*********************

On September 27 of the fourth year of Yonghe, Emperor Qianyuan abdicated, and Chan was located in Taiziwei.

But the matter was not decided so quickly, according to the regulations, the prince wanted to cry and resign, and the emperor insisted again and again, so after three times, he would officially change his name and change the yuan.

Of course, everyone has already begun to prepare for the new emperor's accession to the throne.

As the first hero of Zhang Chun's house, the door is impassable, the family is full of people, the porter is overwhelmed, the servants are busy, most of them are handed over the post and give gifts and leave, only individual relatives and friends can be invited in to drink a bowl of tea.

The male guests were entertained by Zhang Chun's eldest son, and the female relatives were accompanied by Zhang Chun's wife.

"Where's Mr. Jiangzhou?"

Could it be that he is busy with the new emperor's accession to the throne?

"I've gone to the academy, I have a few books to talk about, and articles to write." Zhang Chun's eldest son said with a smile.

The guests were stunned when they heard this, what academy did they go to talk about at this time!

"The people have already made their lives, but there is still a long way to go, and my father does not dare to slack off." Zhang Chun's eldest son replied.

Does it mean that Zhang Chun will not be serious about the court? He will not take over Chen Shao's position as prime minister, but will he still be his pavilion school book?

Why bother?

However, everyone was immediately relieved, even if he was not the prime minister, with Zhang Chun's life-saving grace to the Queen Mother and the support of the new emperor, his position in the court would be stable and important in the future.

The hall became more lively and cheerful.

The inner house is also full of laughter.

"Today we have to stay and eat before leaving." A lady smiled and said, "It's hard to invite your cook, so you can always try your craft at your house, right?" ”

This made the other ladies in the room laugh in response. Others began to order dishes to eat.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and shook her head.

"It's a coincidence." She said. "Just come to my house. The cook is not easy to invite. ”

The people in the room were stunned.

"The cook is not home today." Mrs. Zhang smiled, "Something went out." ”

Did someone in your own family go out for something? Can't the mistress call back with a word? What can the next person do? The affairs of the Lord's house are the greatest affairs of the subordinates.

This Zhang's chef is really ...... It's not ordinary.

"Of course it's not ordinary." Leaving Zhang's house, a lady whispered, "You have forgotten, whose family was this half-celery cook of the Zhang family?" ”

The woman looked at each other, and suddenly she was stunned.

Crown Princess!

No, not only the chef of the Zhang family, but also several chefs in the capital who advertised that they were taught by the crown princess.

It's just for everyone else. They were all sent to apprentices by their own family, and this Zhang family's cook girl was a real member of the Cheng family, who was given to the Zhang family by the crown princess when she was in Jiangzhou.

Now that the crown princess is about to become the queen, the chef of the Zhang family, who is an old servant, is not unusual, how can the Zhang family call her as an ordinary subordinate.

"Still."

A lady suddenly thought of something and lowered her voice.

"Can the crown princess still become the queen?"

The crown prince became the emperor, the husband and wife were one, the husband and wife were noble, and the crown princess naturally deserved to be canonized as the queen at other times, but the crown princess at this time was a little different.

"Very sick. It's unconscious. A lady whispered, "Just like the Emperor." It's almost two months. ”

And so it was!

The lady glanced at her.

That's a bad disease, even in ordinary people's homes, it can be raised in another hospital, or even seven.

"Didn't the Emperor wake up too?" Someone said.

"But the Emperor Taishang's mouth can't speak and his body can't move, and waking up is the same as not waking up." Some people shook their heads and said, "Do you want to canonize a queen like that?" ”

At this point, she paused.

"It's okay to chase the seal, I heard that the Queen Mother is ready to choose a concubine for the emperor, and Princess Xiu has also brought several young women into the palace to see the Queen Mother, don't dare to say anything else, at least on the issue of heirs, the Queen Mother and Princess Xiu should be of the same mind."

…………………………………………………….

At noon, when Taipingju's business is at its best, there is a long queue of people waiting in front of the door, setting up a straw hut, setting up a few cases, and hot tea and snacks.

"Let's just set up a table outside." Someone said, while drinking tea with a tea bowl, "There is cold tofu in summer that is not afraid of heat, and in winter there is happiness and is not afraid of cold." ”

Others stood in front of the door and read the words on the plaque.

"This is the true handiwork of Cheng Niangzi."

"It's a different font from Maoyuan Mountain."

"Why is it still called Cheng Niangzi, that's the crown princess, and it's going to be the queen."

"There are thousands of princesses and queens, but there is only one Cheng Niangzi."

"Taiping, Taiping, there is Cheng Niangzi who is really peaceful."

Laughing in front of the door, someone hurriedly came over and squeezed everyone away.

"Hey, line up." Someone hurriedly shouted.

The man looked back.

This is a young woman, who looks ordinary and dresses up but is not ordinary.

"Miss Banqin is here." The guy in front of the door hurriedly greeted.

It turned out that it was not the person who was eating, so the guest in front of the door ignored it and saw the woman hurrying upstairs.

"Lady Banqin."

A guy knocked on the door of a room.

"Miss Banqin is here."

A half-celery girl, but what she said meant two things.

The door opened, and the girl hurried in and saw Banqin standing up.

"Why are you here?" Banqin said in a trembling voice, looked at the girl, took a step back, and didn't seem to want to see her.

"Sister Banqin, don't be afraid." The girl said, "There is no news from the lady. ”

No news is good news, Banqin stretched out her hand to cover her heart and sat down to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I can't do it, so I don't dare to stay in the capital, I'm afraid I can't help but run to the palace to find the lady, at least it's better to hide here." She said, raising her hand to wipe away tears.

"The emperor woke up, the Zen throne was given to the prince, and the prince was about to ascend the throne." The girl said.

Banqin looked up at her.

"Then can we meet the lady?" She asked hurriedly. The emperor woke up or died. The crown prince ascended the throne or not. These things that have been discussed by the people in the capital are not important to her at all, and there is only this one question in her heart.

The girl squeezed out a smile.

"Come on." She said.

Banqin was overjoyed when she heard this, turned around and knelt down to the Bodhisattva on the side and bowed sincerely.

Looking at her appearance, the smile on the girl's face became bitter.

…………………………………….

Immortal Residence, Su Xin, who was holding a calculation chip, raised his head when he heard this.

"The old lady said such a thing?" She asked.

The girl nodded, and there was no smile on her face that Shicai showed in Taipingju, but instead of grief.

"yes." Su Xin muttered. looked out the window, "How can they tolerate such a queen, they can only accommodate a posthumously crowned queen, who has both fame and profit, and will not delay any new people." ”

"Sister Suxin, I'm going to beg the master, we don't want anything else, we don't want the queen, we don't want anything. As long as the lady is returned to us, we will go far. The girl cried.

"Yes. We can ask for the posthumous queen, as long as their subordinates show mercy and hand over this posthumously crowned queen to us. Su Xin said, standing up, "I'll go too, I'll go and beg the master." ”

The girl nodded and hurriedly stood up.

"There are many people in the family, and the master has escaped and is in the academy." She said, "Let's go." ”

The two galloped to the academy in a carriage, but did not see Zhang Chun.

"Please, you just tell the master, it's Banqin, it's Banqin who wants to see him." The girl said with tears in her eyes.

The boy sighed.

"Sister Banqin, I know you, it's not that I don't tell the master, but that the master has gone out." He said.

Not even in the academy?

"Where did the old man go?" Su Xin asked anxiously.

The boy shook his head.

"The master's habits, Sister Banqin also knows." He said, looking at the two maids.

Dodge, hide.

Hide from the complimented guests at home, and hide from them.

As smart and thorough as Zhang Jiangzhou, how could he not think of this.

Su Xin slowly closed her eyes, tears remaining.

"The lady never asked for help before." She muttered, "No matter how big things happen." ”

As she spoke, Cheng Jianniang's description seemed to appear in front of her.

"No, I'm not there yet, when there's no way out."

The woman's expression was indifferent.

"I just don't like it, and I put my hope in others."

So what now? Unable to take care of herself in a coma, is she at the point where there is no way out, where is her hope?

……………………………………………………….

The incense is full of incense Puxiu Temple, the mountain gate is closed at this time, the courtyard is empty, and the monks who come and go look solemn.

The bell suddenly rang in the temple, long and soft.

A small chamberlain stepped forward and stretched out his hand, Fang Bocong took his arm slightly, and stood up from the kneeling mat.

"May the Father's Blessed Sacrament be safe." He said.

"The Buddha knows His Highness's sincerity." Zhang Chun said.

Neither of them wore a ceremonial dress, Fang Bocong wore a green robe, and Zhang Chun wore a half-worn Confucian shirt.

Fang Bocong stepped out of the Buddha hall, stopped and looked at it, and then raised his feet again, Zhang Chun followed a few steps behind, and the attendants scattered before and after.

"Asari is busy now, and he is alone to hide and be clean." Fang Bocong said with a smile.

The ceremony of the enthronement of the Son of Heaven cannot be neglected, and now the court is busy day and night for this matter.

"A few days ago, I handed over the roster, saying that there were 11,300 people for the big driver." He continued, "Isn't it too much? ”

Zhang Chun nodded.

"This is the old practice of chastity and the beginning." "But when it was built, it was reduced to 6,800 people. ”

"Lone wants to be reduced again." Fang Bocong said, "Your Majesty is still seriously ill, and Prince Xuanwen has just been buried, so it should not be too prosperous, and it is enough to reduce it to 3,300 people." ”

Zhang Chun nodded.

Gonggong Jing, who was following behind him, frowned slightly.

This suddenly came to Puxiu Temple, and quietly found Zhang Chun, is it just to come to the ceremonial guard of the canonization ceremony?

How many people are used here, how is the car driven, and the Six Suzaku team often advocates trivial things such as a few lines, a few people, and so on, so there is no need for this son of heaven and an important minister to chatter, right?

What exactly is to be said?

“…… The Empress Dowager is as polite as the order...."

Zhang Chun said in front of him, when this sentence came into his ears, Gonggong Jing's heart jumped. Scales fall from one's eyes.

Originally. That's what I'm going to say.

He couldn't help but take two steps. Listen with your head down and ears up.

"Empress Zhao was registered as a row of yellow canes and heavy chariots, and congratulated the ministers in the Zichen Palace." Zhang Chun continued.

Fang Bocong suddenly stopped.

"Mr. Jiangzhou privately asked to see Gu today, what is it for?" He said, interrupting Zhang Chun's words.

"The minister doesn't dare, His Highness summoned the minister." Zhang Chun said with a smile.

"Gu said that he wanted to pray for His Majesty, but Mr. Jiangzhou indicated that he wanted to come to Puxiu Temple." Fang Bocong said, turning his head to look at him, "Mr. has always disliked talking. But anything you say is not nonsense. ”

Zhang Chun smiled at Shi Li.

Fang Bocong turned his head and continued to walk.

"Mrs. Cheng once saved your father?" He said again suddenly.

"Pingshui meets the grace of a meal." Zhang Chun said.

"The grace of a meal will be repaid, and the grace of a drop of water will be reciprocated, Mr. Dade." Fang Bocong said, "Mr.'s kindness is not only blessed by her, but also by many people, the Maoyuanshan brothers, and the orphans." ”

He looked at Zhang Chun as he spoke.

"Whatever she wants, help her do it, this is the so-called repaying gratitude."

Zhang Chun hurriedly smiled and saluted.

"Your Highness laughed." He said, "The minister doesn't dare to be. The minister didn't do anything, he just did what he wanted. ”

Fang Bocong smiled and didn't speak. Stand on your feet and look up at the front.

At this time, they had already walked to the stone tower behind the Guanyin Palace.

The wind blew, and the copper bells on the tower made a crisp sound.

"You all have hearts, and you are lonely." Fang Bocong said, "It's just that you don't believe it. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Chun to speak, Fang Bocong raised his hand and pointed to the stone tower.

"When the tower was first built, it was tilted to the northwest." He said.

Zhang Chun was stunned and looked up.

Legend has it that he naturally knows the origin of the stone pagoda of Puxiu Temple, and he is not a foreigner who came to Beijing for the first time.

“…… At that time, someone questioned, and Dagong said that after a hundred years, he would be right. He hesitated, but then took over the conversation.

Fang Bocong suddenly laughed and turned his head to look at him.

“… Next year is enough for a hundred years, and you see it's almost right by now. He raised his voice and said with bright eyes.

Zhang Chun nodded.

"As long as you're not blind, you can see." Fang Bocong said, smiling slightly, "Even if you are blind, you can listen to others." ”

Zhang Chun looked at him, smiled slightly, and bowed his head to salute.

On the tenth day of October in the fourth year of Yonghe, Emperor Qianyuan abdicated, and Zen was located in Taiziwei, and Yuan Tiansheng was changed.

On October 11, the Heavenly Holy Emperor ascended the throne.

The daylight was bright, and Fang Bocong in the Qinzheng Hall looked at the golden book held by the inner servant.

"Emperor." The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the side, said, "You really want to do this? ”

Fang Bocong looked at the golden book.

"The queen can also be canonized later." The Queen Mother continued.

As soon as the words fell, Fang Bocong looked up at her.

After the enthronement ceremony, the majesty of the Son of Heaven gradually emerged.

The Queen Mother avoided his gaze slightly.

"The old body doesn't mean anything else." She said, "I just think that she is sick now, and I don't know if I can stand this canonization ceremony, and it is not necessarily a good thing, besides, how can I accept it?" ”

Fang Bocong smiled.

"I, carry her to be sealed." He said, bowing his head and picking up the jade seal and stamping it heavily with the gold book.

Today, Cheng's Fang Jin Book Phoenix Seal, the queen's honor, the same body as me, Chengzong Temple, the mother world, and the people are more beginning, and Qin this.

…………………………………………

"Report!"

The two teams of attendants smiled with a smile on their faces, respectively holding the holy decree, the golden book, the phoenix seal, the dress, and the phoenix crown and fish walked out of the palace gate, and walked slowly on the royal street to announce the world.

The immortals lived on the second floor, and Su Xin stretched out his hand to hide his face and tears.

Rest assured, rest assured.

The door was pushed open.

"Plain girl." A small yellow door entered with a smile and saluted her, "Please go back to the East Palace." ”

Su Xin turned his head and ran out, his eyes blurred with tears, he couldn't see the road clearly, he bumped into the small yellow door, and also bumped into the shopkeeper Wu who rushed over, Li Dasco and others, stumbling downstairs in a sound of caution.

Lady, lady.

…………………………

"Report."

The gate of the East Palace was wide open, and the maids on both sides saluted together, watching the attendants who passed the edict rush in.

In the prince's bedroom, the door was opened, and the beaded curtain in the inner room was lifted.

The maids in the room knelt on the ground, stretched out their hands to take the golden book and phoenix seal dress and phoenix crown, and after thanking the holy grace, they got up and walked slowly into the inner room.

The curtain in front of the couch was slowly opened, and the woman under the brocade quilt had bright makeup and neat sideburns.

"Congratulations."

The maids knelt down in their golden books and phoenix seal dresses and phoenix crowns to salute in unison.

After three bows, he got up and stepped forward, and placed the golden book and phoenix seal beside Cheng Jianniang, and the phoenix crown of the dress was hung on the hanger on the side, waiting for the queen's ceremony tomorrow to wear.

After doing this, the maids gave a salute and withdrew, leaving only two maids who were waiting for them.

"Are you going out for a walk today?" One said, looking at the sky outside.

"Go, Your Majesty has ordered, Niangniang's daily routine is not allowed to be chaotic." Another said.

"Isn't it a great joy today?" The first one laughed.

"What are you happy about, I heard that on the second day of the wedding between His Majesty and Niangniang, Niangniang also got up to practice archery according to the daily hour." The other one laughed.

They both laughed.

"Go, pass the sedan chair." One said, while walking to the couch, ready to help Cheng Jianniang.

The other one went out, and before she had reached the door, she heard a scream from within, and at the same time there was a pop, and she hurried to look back, and saw the maid in the inner room sitting on the ground, and her hands were moving backwards, and her mouth was still screaming.

"What's wrong?" She rushed in, and as soon as she looked at the couch, the man fell to the ground with a pop and screamed even higher.

"Someone, someone."

The maids in the courtyard had not yet dispersed, and suddenly heard the screams in the room, and they all suddenly changed color.

No way?

They all know about the crown princess, it's been so long, is it finally not working.

But at this time when she was canonized as the queen, this does not mean that she is not blessed.

It seems that this queen has to choose someone else to be her.

Everyone rushed indoors, but when they looked inside, they all froze.

The woman on the couch was slowly getting up to her side.

Her movements were stiff, she propped herself up inch by inch, her face was as pale as jade, and her originally closed eyes slowly opened to look at everyone, which was full of white kernels and black pupils.

The people in the room suddenly let out louder screams.

Some people stumbled out, and the rest either hugged each other or knelt on the ground.

The noise almost tossed the house over.

With this chaos, the eyes of the woman on the couch rolled, the white kernel faded, and the black pupils gradually condensed, but the whole face was as dull as a body.

"I... Who is it? She muttered.
