Chapter 227: Who will accompany the funeral
Huan Ji said: "Chen Huan Ji knocks on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The emperor asked: "This is the council hall, why is the imperial aunt here?" “
Huan Ji looked left and right and said, "For the sake of the concubine Yang in their mouths, my mother and concubine were buried together." Your Majesty, may I ask them a few words? ”
The emperor asked, "Who do you want to ask?" ”
Huan Ji replied: "Just ask the person who just asked my mother to accompany the funeral a few words?" ”
The emperor is so happy in his heart, there is no need to say the eloquence of Princess Huanji. At the moment, he said directly: "You ask, the matter of Concubine Yang's funeral has been discussed in the court for three days, and I also want to hear who of you is reasonable?" ”
Qin Renmei had learned the eloquence of Princess Huanji, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, how to deal with the matter of Princess Huanji entering the palace without permission?" ”
Huan Ji smiled: "Does Lord Qin have a grudge against me?" If not, then there is one from today. After speaking, he took out a gold medal from his arms.
Huan Ji said: "This is the gold medal that Emperor Taizu gave to this princess before his death, am I still guilty?" ”
Qin Renmei said: "How is it possible. Qin Renmei looked at the gold medal and said, "This is Zhu Biao's piece." ”
The corners of Huan Ji's mouth curled up slightly and said: "Lord Qin doesn't know that the piece of the hussar general was transferred by my father to Li Juma, and later Li Juma passed away, and this gold medal for avoiding death came to me." ”
The emperor said: "I know about this matter, and the historian also has a record. ”
Qin Renmei saluted and said, "Since it is Li Yuma's, the princess is not easy to use." ”
Huan Ji said, "Lord Qin, don't worry. As he spoke, he flipped over the gold medal and sent it to him.
Huan Ji asked, "Lord Qin can recognize the words on it. ”
Behind the gold medal is written the word Huanji, which is the word of Emperor Taizu, and the meaning is self-evident.
Huan Ji said: "Since Lord Qin has no objection, let's talk about my father's funeral first." ”
The emperor gestured: "Say it." “
Huan Ji said: "Let me talk about common sense first, save some people who have been officials for a long time and don't understand." None of my father's concubines had given birth, and when my father abdicated, he was dismissed from the palace early in the morning, and most of those who remained had children. The rules of the Tang Dynasty are that whoever has a son is to follow the prince to live in the palace, and those concubines have also done this over the years, my mother has been with my father all these years, and now that my father is gone, she naturally wants to go to the fiefdom with me. Although I am only a princess, I am the only princess in Datang who has a fief. “
One of the imperial historians said: "Concubine Yang is the emperor's favorite woman, and she has been with Emperor Taizu all these years. “
Huan Ji smiled: "What this adult said makes sense, I see that you are not young, and you naturally have a loving wife and children at home, and after you are a hundred years old, I will beg Your Majesty to let all the people in your family who you have loved and loved give you a funeral?" “
The imperial historian was dumbfounded: "This ...... This ......"
Huan Ji smiled: "What's the matter, isn't this the voice of an adult?" If adults are reluctant to bury them with them, how do you think that my father is willing to bury my mother with him? At that time, when my father was dying, but only the emperor was by his side, Your Majesty, did my father ever wake up before his death, did he ever say that I would be buried with my mother? ”
The emperor replied: "Emperor Taizu was very sober before he died, and he told me a lot of the past in Qingzhou, and never said that Concubine Yang would be buried with him. ”
Huan Ji said: "This is inevitable, my father is a generation of Ming Jun, that is to be famous through the ages, naturally I will not like what to bury what, my father loves my mother the most, but I also love his Tang Dynasty, these years my mother concubine accompanied my father and the emperor is also aware of the people's feelings, according to your meaning, do you want to accompany the Tang Dynasty to bury it?" ”
The ministers of the court knelt on the ground crackling and said, "The ministers dare not ......"
Huan Ji smiled in her heart: I know that they are afraid of being deducted, as long as they are stained with words such as subverting the court and insulting the royal family, they will definitely be jealous.
Huan Ji said: "What I want to ask most is who just said that my mother's beauty was misguided?" If it is a man, stand up, and the husband must dare to act. ”
Suddenly, several people got up and knelt in the middle.
Huan Ji asked: "May I ask a few adults, whose country did my mother and concubine mistake with her beauty, my father's emperor?" “
One of them said: "When Emperor Taizu abdicated for her ahead of schedule, isn't it considered a beauty and a misguided country?" ”
The corners of Huan Ji's mouth curled slightly, but she wore a veil that others couldn't see.
Huan Ji said: "Are you saying that my father is a faint king who is bewitched by beauty? I didn't expect to see my father like this in your eyes, so what do you think of Emperor Taizong? Did you kill your brother and usurp the throne? “
The few adults kneeling in the middle all kowtowed and said, "The minister didn't think about it that way, Your Majesty Mingjian." ”
Huan Ji knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, my father has not yet entered the ground and has been said to be a faint monarch who is bewitched by beauty, my father has done so many things for the people in his life, calming the palace civil strife, expanding the territory, issuing decrees to settle the people, and personally eating locusts to show his determination in order to resist the locust plague, and he has been observing the people's feelings all these years. At that time, my father felt powerless, afraid of being ashamed of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and felt that the first emperor was the dragon among the people, so he passed on to him, but I didn't expect these chaotic ministers and thieves to think that the first emperor was the result of my father's bewilderment by beauty. ”
Qin Renmei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Princess Huanji said is a crooked reason, and Lord Chen and the others have no such intentions. ”
Huan Ji said: "Your Majesty, my father was said to be a beautiful woman and misled the country, these people are not killed, and my father will not be blind to death." ”
Several adults on the ground hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers don't mean this, Emperor Taizu has a Dao Mingjun, which is well known." ”
Huan Ji didn't get up, but just knelt and turned around to look at those people and said in surprise: "The person you actually refer to is not my father, it's the emperor, right?" You are so hateful, you are afraid that my mother will confuse the emperor in the future? You don't have to be like this, I will take my mother to the fiefdom, as long as Your Majesty does not pass the decree, Huan Ji will not return to Beijing with her mother. “
Those few people listened to Huan Ji's words, and they couldn't react to what they had already heard, how could it become that what they said on the left was wrong and what they said on the right was wrong.
The emperor patted the case and said: "Since you think so, although Concubine Yang is not my own grandmother, I have always treated her as a grandmother. Since you are ..... Whoever comes and drags them down and beheads them to show them, and such deception is not worthy to remain in the world. “
Those few people shouted: "Your Majesty spares your life, the minister didn't mean that, Lord Qin ...... save your life."
After those people were dragged down by the guards, Huan Ji wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty Xie has justified my father's name and my mother's concubine." “
