Chapter 42: Death
The next day, Zhao Shu just washed up and prepared for breakfast, Xiao Zhuzi happily came to report, Zhao Shu saw that he was overjoyed, and asked teasingly without waiting for him to speak, "Have you made a windfall?" ”
"County lord, look at what you said, what kind of windfall can the slave make, besides, there is no land to spend after making a windfall, the slave just heard the news from the palace, saying that the old man Huo went to the emperor to be the emperor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
He frowned as he spoke, and there was confusion on his face, "County Lord, what did you say about this old man Huo, who suddenly agreed to be the emperor, and it is said that he will also be the chief official of the imperial examination in the coming year." ”
Zhao Shu was surprised, but it was only for a moment before she smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, is there a letter today?" ”
"Oh, no, but there is a message that the Xiongnu Kingdom has civil strife for some reason, and now it has stopped its troops, and the thief King Jing has no foreign aid, I'm afraid it won't last long, and Marshal Wei will be able to come back soon."
Zhao Shu nodded when she heard this, waved his hand and asked him to go down, and Xiao Zhuzi bowed and stepped back, just thinking about Fang Cai's question.
Seeing his frowning appearance, Zhao Shu shook his head, how could he understand the beauty of the pillow wind? It seems that the Zhao family occupies an extremely important position in Huo Chengyi's heart.
However, speaking of the Xiongnu Kingdom, Zhao Shu is also quite puzzled, civil strife? I'm afraid it will be broken down by Wei Tingsi and other foreign partners, the Huns are strong and strong, and they will not be defeated if they are idle, and the Huns are mostly narrowly defeated, and it takes a long time to recuperate after the victory.
This time, Dayong has nothing to lose, so it's great.
After breakfast, I went to see Huo Baichuan as usual, checked his pulse, went into the palace to talk to the Queen Mother, and then looked at Qiu Tong, and occasionally Zhao Yi had something to do, and also talked about it.
Life couldn't have been easier.
Although it is a war, the grain and grass are basically raised by Scarlet Peng from the major families, and the silver of the treasury only needs to make muskets, so it can be said that Dayong will be extremely powerful in the next hundred years.
There are orderly days, Zhao Shu has a lot of life, fortunately, Sun Yun occasionally comes to hang out, and the cold days come in a blink of an eye.
found Zhao and Sun Yun, and together with Qiu Tong, several people talked to the Queen Mother in Cining Palace.
"If the mourning family doesn't win a game against you today, the mourning family won't have to eat." The Queen Mother has been losing the landlord, and she is about to go crazy.
Zhao Shu shrugged, pursed her lips, and then put some water, "The imperial grandmother is used to threatening people, if you don't have to eat, who in this palace will dare to eat?" Won't Ah Jun become a sinner at that time? ”
"I'm the same as the Queen Mother, if I don't win, I don't need to." Sun Yun looked at the bad cards in his hand and frowned.
Zhao Shu: ...... glared at her twice, and was about to turn back, so he heard Cumulus come to report: "Queen Mother, someone from Biyou Palace is here." ”
Suddenly, the whole hall was silent, no one spoke again, and the Queen Mother asked after half a sound: "What's the matter?" ”
"The Emperor is seriously ill, and the doctors have gone." Cumulus whispered.
The Queen Mother had no expression on her face, but she put down the cards in her hand and stood up tremblingly, Zhao Shu and Sun Yun hurriedly went to help, but she pushed it away, turned around, and said in a cold voice: "The mourning family knows, let the imperial doctor watch." ”
This means that she will not go to see Emperor Mingde, Zhao Shu felt a pain in her heart for some reason, she understood that the queen mother's heart was like a knife, and her own son was afraid that she was going to go.
Cumulus didn't know how to answer, and frequently signaled to Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu lowered his head, no one dared to talk nonsense, and in the wide hall, the needle drop could be heard.
"Imperial grandmother, Ajun should go and have a look, okay?" Zhao Shu finally spoke, no matter how it was explained, Emperor De also loved her, as a niece, she didn't compare herself with Jiangshan Sheji.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, as if she had spent a lot of effort.
Zhao Shu didn't delay much, came out of Cining Palace, took Chuchun and others, and went to Bi Parade Palace, Sun Yun and Zhao did not follow.
When he saw Emperor Mingde, he was already delirious, but he was still very good, and he was round and jade, but he was not clear, so what was the use of being round and jade?
"Uncle Huang." She cried softly.
Emperor Mingde sat at the head of the bed, leaned on the pillow, looked at her when he heard the words, and laughed stupidly, "Ah Tian, have you come to see me?" Today I will take you to see the sunset, and the Qin Tianjian gang said that they would not be able to see it if it rained for a few days. ”
The people who were waiting in the hall didn't react much, and Zhao Shu understood that he was afraid that he had been like this for a while.
This sentence sounds quite sad, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he really loves Yide, otherwise how can he still remember?
"Uncle Huang, I'm Ah Jun, do you remember Feng Zen?" Zhao Shu sat in front of the bed and said softly.
Hearing the word Feng Chan, his sanity seemed to have recovered a little, his eyes turned clear, and he turned his head to stare at Zhao Shu's eyes, "Feng Chan? Can I still seal Zen? ”
"Naturally, when the West is calmed down, you can seal Zen, haven't you always wanted to?" Zhao Shu nodded, she said extremely seriously, what she said at the beginning, she was willing to fulfill it, Emperor Mingde, as the emperor, was not sorry for Jiangshan Sheji, he should have the dignity of an emperor.
As if something that had been in his heart for a long time was lifted out, his eyes lit up, but he still shook his head, "Ajun, don't you want to lie to me, Feng Zen?" If there is no peace today, the people have not yet lived in peace, the soldiers are not strong and the horses are not strong, what face do you have to seal Zen? ”
"It's your heart's desire." Zhao Shu said lightly, although the words were light, they were serious, so that Emperor Mingde had to pay attention to this sentence.
It's just that he laughed at himself, "Since ancient times, which emperor didn't want to climb Mount Tai to worship the gods to show the merits of the immortal emperor?" ”
"You are safe and steady to be the emperor, and you will be able to go one day, the imperial grandmother is old, and she has to listen to good news." Having said all that, this sentence is the point.
Emperor Mingde lowered his head when he heard this, "The queen mother has always been decisive, you don't have to worry." After saying that, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Shu, "Ah Jun, have you ever thought that your crown prince brother will do such a thing one day?" ”
Zhao Shu was stunned, but soon understood, Zhao Yi used medicine on him, his biological father, flesh and blood, but he really did it.
It's just that he was born in the emperor's family, as a father, has Emperor Mingde ever reflected on himself? He didn't, he only remembered that Zhao Yi put him under house arrest here, and he only remembered that Zhao Yi used medicine on him.
But I don't remember how Zhao Yi was persecuted at the beginning, but fortunately, Qiu Tong is pregnant now, otherwise Zhao Shu is very worried that there will be no successor.
"Everything has a cause and effect, the emperor's uncle will not sow discord, Ah Jun is not the emperor, and he doesn't want to be powerful, just live a peaceful and stable life, if you remember the emperor's grandmother's years of nurturing and support, you will be a prince in peace, the emperor's brother will not do anything to you, after all, his biological father is like the sky, he is not as ruthless as you after all."
If you are ruthless enough, you are now defending the country and filial piety.
"Hehe, you go, we won't see each other again in the future, I'm stupid or stupid, out of sight." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and stopped looking at Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shuzhi couldn't persuade him, so he left his dormitory, and came out to see Empress Taishang standing in the distance, her body was thin, her eyes were sunken, and the haggard fat powder on her face couldn't hide it.
Seeing Zhao Shu, she barely pulled out a smile, "Ah Jun." He choked up.
"Don't be sad, your body is your own, no one can suffer for you, you don't cherish yourself, how can the emperor's brother handle state affairs with peace of mind?" Zhao Shu walked over and supported her.
"Is he still not listening?" She didn't reply to Zhao Shu's words, but asked directly.
Zhao Shu was silent for a moment and didn't speak, but she already understood, her body stiffened, and she summoned the palace maid and eunuch, "Ah Jun, you go back, it's ominous here, don't come in the future." ”
"Why should you embarrass yourself?" Zhao Shu didn't know what to say, Emperor Mingde was drugged, he must have wanted to reset and regain power, but the medicine was harmful to the body, and Emperor Mingde's appearance was afraid that he would go after a while.
Looking at his round and jade jade, you will know that if you take medicine again, you will not be long gone.
"This palace has never done anything for his son, this matter will come from this palace, Ah Jun, the emperor is young, you should take care of it more in the future." After that, she seemed to feel that she was speechless, and then laughed at herself, "Look at this palace, you yourself are still too young, in the future, you brothers and sisters will support each other, don't listen to the suspicions of others, this palace has been a mess for more than 20 years, and now you have to live more clearly." ”
She chattered and said a lot of things, Zhao Shu listened to them one by one, and Queen Taishang didn't expect her to reply, I don't know how long she spoke, it was extremely cold, but neither of them felt it.
Empress Taishang said a lot, as if she had said all the words in her heart for decades, there was no point, just some things about the past in the palace.
In the end, she took Zhao Shu out of the palace gate and said, "What you can't grasp, it's stupid to even stretch out your hand, Ajun, don't learn from me." ”
Zhao Shu chewed this sentence repeatedly, remembering her previous life, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face, and in this life, she didn't have to stretch out her hand, she had everything.
When she left, it was already dark, and when she returned to Yongwang's Mansion to bathe and change clothes, she shrank on her feet to read a book, looking at the book that Lu Luo bought from somewhere, which was written about the poignant love of the beautiful son.
However, I always think of the last relaxed smile of the Empress Taishang, she is old, but it is thicker than her youth, like a book that has been written for a long time, slowly thickening.
I looked at a few more lines, but I couldn't see anything, and I was restless on the couch.
In the middle of the night, a bell suddenly rang, and her heart instantly fell into the ice pool, and she shivered with cold.
She didn't remember a few knocks in a row, as soon as the death knell rang, the whole country was sad, Chu Chun and others moved quickly, and immediately found a white cloth, and after a while, King Yong also appeared in Qionghua Courtyard in white.
His eyes were red, and his lips moved without speaking.
"Father, don't be too upset." Zhao Shu was relieved, but in fact, her heart was also heavy.
King Yong nodded, stretched out his hand and touched her head, "Father knows, Ah Jun should not be too sad, just came to the palace to report, saying that your imperial uncle left with a smile and was not tortured by illness." ”
It seems that this is the only word that can be comforted, Zhao Shu nodded heavily, "Well, let's go see the imperial grandmother." ”
"Okay." King Yong walked ahead, and the father and daughter entered the palace.
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces came, the two avoided the civil and military ministers, and went directly to Cining Palace, and as soon as they arrived at Cining Palace, they saw that Zhao Yi and Qiu Tong were there, and all the doctors who came in and out were Tai Doctors.
