Chapter 90: Death
The flesh on the Queen Mother's face twitched violently, and she pinched the flesh on her hand with her fingernails while taking a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She said in a trembling voice www.biquge.info "Go, bring me the emperor, I have something to ask him." ”
After about a meal, Emperor Yuan He hurried over, and when he entered the door, he asked, "Does the Queen Mother feel bad today?" Why don't you just sit still? ”
The Queen Mother saw that Emperor Yuan He's face was haggard, and her eyes were dark, and she knew that the situation was a little bad. She gathered the last bit of energy and asked, "You tell me the truth, what is going on in the northwest now?" ”
Emperor Yuanhe hesitated again and again, and when he saw that the Empress Dowager was about to open her mouth again, he said truthfully: "Now the entire West and most of Shanxi have all fallen into the hands of the rebels......
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was about to say something, but the corners of her mouth tilted to the side and she fainted.
Everyone in the house was shocked, and Fu Ning hurriedly called the imperial doctor in. pinched people again, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and finally had to apply needles, tossing for a long time, and the queen mother slowly opened her eyes.
She glanced at Emperor Yuan and Emperor Fu Ning sitting in front of the bed, and cried in a low voice. "You unworthy children...... The first emperor handed over the country to you, but you ...... But you didn't even keep Chengdu...... In vain, I promised the first emperor that you would be the crown prince," the more the queen mother said, the more excited she became, and after a violent cough, she finally cried bitterly: "What kind of face do you let me have to see the first emperor!" ”
Emperor Yuanhe's heart was like a knife, knowing that the responsibility for losing the territory fell firmly on his head. He also had no way to argue, so he knelt in front of the Queen Mother's bed without saying a word, bowing his head and listening to the Queen Mother's count.
Seeing that the emperor was like this, the other people in the room also quickly knelt down, only Fu Ning looked at the queen mother's face was wrong, and there was an unhealthy flush. Isn't it a return to the light? Fu Ning's heart became nervous, she hurriedly sat down next to the Queen Mother, and cried: "Queen Mother, don't worry about these things, there are always royal brothers and hundreds of officials." As long as you take care of your body, it's more important than anything else......"
Emperor Yuanhe raised his head and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Queen Mother waving her hand. "You listen to me, my own body, I know it myself. Seeing that I am going to see the first emperor, I have a few things to explain here. ”
"Fu Ning is your only sister, and you only have Wen Jin, a niece, take good care of them. There are only three of you left in the bloodline of the first emperor, King Chun, don't let his spirit in the sky chill. Wen Jin's marriage with the fifth child has been decided, and when the fifth child is older, you will make the decision to let them get married, otherwise I will not be blind even if I die. ”
"The queen is a stupid and unfilial person, keep her by her side, and make trouble for you, it is better to abolish her while the fifth child is still young. The middle palace is empty, and I am afraid that there will be villains who are worried about it...... You might as well set up a virtuous concubine, I think the Xue family is smart and loyal...... No, no, there is still the old thing of Chang Yibo staring at her, if she becomes the queen, she will raise the fifth ...... No, this won't work......"
Emperor Yuanhe was a little impatient when he heard it, and the Queen Mother said that he was incompetent, and he also admitted it. But these years of discipline and discipline have been slack, and the government is disordered, isn't there no credit for the queen mother in the harem and Chengengong in the previous dynasty? The state affairs have been so bad that the queen mother is still bent on scheming for her own daughter, which really makes him cold.
"Queen Mother, when you called your son over just now, my son was discussing the war in the northwest with his ministers. There were wars in the northwest and southeast, and the son really didn't bother to pay attention to the affairs of the harem. The queen first grounded Kunning Palace, and after the war subsided, her son freed his hand, and then came to deal with her. The Queen Mother was not worried that she would be unfavorable to Funing Wenjin. ”
"If you don't have anything else to explain, your son will go back to the Qianqing Palace first, and the ministers over there are still waiting." With that, Emperor Yuanhe got up, saluted and left.
The Queen Mother didn't say anything, just slowly closed her eyes. She knows that she is getting weaker now, and although she is strong, she has to accept her fate when she has come to this point.
Fu Ning cried while tucking the corners of the quilt for the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said weakly: "After I die, you will not be so casual when you enter the palace again." This person is in love with each other, and when the time comes, you will tell the emperor that the concubine has also become a layman, Wen Jin, and the two of you want to live in the palace, just like those aunts and grandmothers who have returned from ordinary families. Otherwise, even if the queen can't turn over, that slut of the Tian family will trample on your mother and daughter. ”
"Everything in my palace is left to you, money is human guts, and with money, you two will have a better life in the palace. Over the years, I have started from the princess, to the queen and then to the queen mother, and I have saved a lot of things in my private treasury, which is enough for the two of you to eat for a few lifetimes. ”
"Anyway, the queen can't come out for a while, so you take good care of the fifth child. Before getting married, you were also his aunt, and it was natural to take care of him. Grasp the fifth child well, he is the foundation of your long-term prosperity in the future. ”
Fu Ning's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he answered two "yes" in a very nasal voice.
The Queen Mother breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I have already laid out the road for you, and whether you can walk well depends on your ability." I'm tired and need to sleep for a while. If you're tired from the day, go and take a break. ”
Fu Ning nodded, put the queen mother's bed tent out of the tent hook, and lay on the kang next to her and fell asleep in a daze.
The queen mother never woke up from this sleep, and there was no snort the next night.
The death of the queen mother is the great mourning of the country, the emperor, all the people in the palace and hundreds of officials all put on the clothes of decay, with the day and the moon, a total of 27 days of filial piety, the first three days of crying and mourning.
The mourning shed in the palace is set up outside the Cining Gate, although the queen was temporarily lifted from the grounding, but only in front of the spiritual seat to cry the spirit, the harem funeral chores are taken care of by the concubine and the concubine.
Princess Yu, who was pregnant, knelt in front of Xuanhui and was crying loudly, but suddenly her body tilted and fell on Duanmin's body. The concubine hurriedly asked someone to carry Princess Yu back to the upright hall, and praised Princess Yu's filial piety to the Queen Mother.
For the excitement here, Xuanhui has no time to pay attention. She lowered her head and sobbed quietly, but her mind was about the war in the northwest.
The leader of the rebels in this life is not Wu Wengui, a smuggler of salt, but Liu Guangsheng, a landed talent in Zhenning County. But the rebels' offensive was as fierce and swift as in the previous life. Maybe some things will happen, such as the Northwest Disaster and Rebellion in the past and present life. Some things are accidental, such as Wu Wengui in the previous life and Liu Guangsheng in the present life.
Xuanhui was anxious, she knew that success or failure was in these two months, and if the Great Zhou army could stop the rebels' offensive, then there would be a glimmer of life. If she couldn't, she shuddered, and the opulence in front of her would disappear.
In his previous life, Pei Minzhong was the first to suppress the rebellion, but now he is suppressing the Japanese in the southeast, and I don't know if he has taken the soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion under his command. The rebellion in the previous life took place three years later, when Pei Minzhong had returned to Jinling with Xuanhui and had enough time to firmly control the army.
The second hero is Wang Jintang and Wang Yu's father and son. As soon as he thought of them, and then thought of Liang Zan and Yang Yunshu in Xuzhou, Xuanhui felt a burst of heartache. (To be continued.) )
