Chapter 614: Lichu

The emperor took the dragon chariot to Cining Palace, and the king of Guangping walked with him along the way, slowly supporting the dragon chariot to walk, and the brothers talked and laughed. When he arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, the emperor and his brother entered the palace hand in hand.

The Queen Mother saw that the two sons seemed to have regained their former friendship, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she held back the tears that fell down, but she couldn't help but show a happy smile on her face: "Why did the emperor come with your brother?" ”

The emperor smiled and said: "The imperial brother entered the palace and talked to his son for a while, and the son thought that he would see the queen mother in a few days, so he came to see you with the imperial brother." ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "It is important for the emperor to recuperate from his injuries, why bother to work? As long as the emperor is in good health and your brothers love each other, there is nothing to worry about in the mourning family. ”

The emperor felt a sour feeling when he heard this, but he faintly felt that his mother was also sad about their brother's estrangement in the past, but she didn't mention it in front of him.

King Guangping looked calm and saluted the Queen Mother. After the emperor also asked for peace, Gao Zhen, who had stood up and served them since their brother entered the palace, also came to greet them, and then helped his father, King Guangping, to sit down.

When the members of the royal family meet, the first thing the Queen Mother will naturally ask about the emperor's injury, how the medicine is, how effective it is, how well she eats, and whether she sleeps well at night? Is the wound painful...... And so on and so forth. The emperor replied one by one.

In fact, his wound was really painful, and the doctor prescribed him a medicine with painkiller effect, but the effective time of this medicine was shorter and shorter each time. After the effect of the medicine, the emperor would feel unbearable pain in his right eye. Obviously the Imperial Doctor said it. The painkiller couldn't be used too much, and he couldn't help but use it two or three more times.

In addition to the injury in his right eye, his left eye is now very tired. Because he didn't want the courtiers to think that he was really blind in one eye. When he became disabled, he couldn't deal with government affairs, so in addition to recuperating from his injuries, he also read a large number of recitals every day to deal with political affairs. He was a wounded man, and he only had one eye to see the folds, so tired. So how is it possible not to get tired in the left eye? When dealing with government affairs, his spirit was also very poor, and his memory was poor. Sometimes he would sit behind a bookcase and look at the folds, and he would fall asleep by looking at them. The doctor said that it was because he lost blood when he was injured, which hurt his vitality. You have to recuperate to make up for it. But he has to put aside his political affairs. Concentrate on recuperating from his wounds, but he can't do it.

He refused to say these words in front of others, but now that he saw his mother and had just untied the knot in his brother, he found that his brother still cared about him very much, and he was not interested in taking his throne, so he couldn't help but tell the truth. It's kind of a coquettish.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was very distressed, in the end, she was the youngest son who had been spoiled since childhood. Except for the time when Jiangnan was in distress, where did you suffer like this? She persuaded her youngest son: "It is not without important ministers who can be trusted by the court, if there is no important political matter, ask them to read the excerpts for you first, and they can make up their own minds about trivial matters, and there is no need to bother you." You can also take a break from the situation. Otherwise, you have to recuperate from your injuries, and you have to watch the excerpts and see the late night, how can your body eat? What do the people around you do to eat? I don't even know how to persuade you?! ”

The emperor hurriedly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, there is still a doctor by her son's side." They also persuaded their son, but the political affairs were left there, no one took care of them, and they all relied on the minister, and they might not be able to trust it, and the son still had to look at the excerpts by himself. ”

The Queen Mother snorted: "You can't trust the ministers, but why did they follow King Jinyang to mess around before?" Naturally, you don't have to pay attention to those wall grasses, but you don't have a few loyal courtiers, so it's better to bring two of them up to polish the ink and copy them for you. You are still sick, so you should recuperate. If there is no trustworthy man among the courtiers, call your brother to help. ”

King Guangping hurriedly smiled: "Don't mention this after the queen mother, my son's eyes are not as good as the emperor." On weekdays, it's just to see the road, and it is impossible to read and write. If you want to barely do it, hold on for a quarter of an hour, and your eyes will hurt so much that you will cry. However, it is good to find a few reliable ministers to handle government affairs. There are not many people in the cabinet, and the emperor can rely on it more. Moreover, Da Lang is now older, and he has listened to politics for a few months, so he thinks he can try to get started with government affairs. Let's start simple, let a few elders teach him, and then ask the Taifu to assist him, if you really don't understand, Da Lang can also come to ask the emperor. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her eldest son, remembered what the eldest grandson Gao Zhen had just said, and knew that their father and son had made up their minds. Although she felt that it was a pity, her children and grandchildren were not happy, and she naturally did not force them to do it. The two sons finally reconciled, and then turned their faces over the chair, and she, as a mother, saw it, and felt uncomfortable. The eldest son of Emperor Hengzhu is also her own grandson, although she has a bad mother, but as long as the child understands things, she is also optimistic.

At first, the emperor was really nervous when he heard the queen mother say that he could let the king of Guangping help deal with government affairs, but the king of Guangping quickly made a stand, and the queen mother did not insist anymore, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and believed more and more that his brother would not fight with him, but he was stupid in the past. Now, the brothers are estranged, but the half-mother King Jinyang has taken advantage of the loophole, the emperor secretly regrets in his heart, and his resentment against the King of Jinyang has increased a little.

King Guangping said to the Queen Mother: "Da Lang has been wronged, and his son has already persuaded the emperor to beg the emperor to be lenient with Da Lang and to hold the ceremony as soon as possible." The will has already been issued, and it has not been prepared for two years, and if it is delayed, it will only attract people's hearts, so it is better to do it as soon as possible, even if it is simple, as long as there are the number of etiquette that should be there, it will not hurt. It's just that the queen is not easy to deal with, and the emperor hasn't made up his mind yet, what does the queen mother think? ”

The Queen Mother sighed: "What can the mourning family think?" chose such a daughter-in-law for the emperor that day, and they were all mourners. If it weren't for the pity of a few children, the mourning family would have persuaded the emperor to abolish her! "However, if the queen is abolished, the throne of the eldest son of the emperor will not be so secure. Their family was completely unwilling to hurt the jade bottle for beating mice, so that the queen would become more and more ridiculous.

The emperor said to the queen mother: "The queen is there, my son already has a plan, and I will go to see her in a while." ”

The Queen Mother said: "The emperor has an idea, that's the best." It's just that no matter what you want to do with her, you have to think about the faces of several children. The mourning family hated her so much that she couldn't do it, but it was not easy to beat her and scold her. Isn't it just that I'm afraid of breaking the hearts of children? ”

The emperor already had a plan in his heart. Not long after, he came out of the Queen Mother and brought two henchmen to the big Buddha hall at the back.

Only the Queen Mother, King Guangping and Gao Zhen were left in the Xinuan Pavilion. The Queen Mother was silent for a moment before asking her eldest son: "Have you already made up your mind?" The emperor is really dangerous this time, if there is a case, the queen mother would rather sit on that person is you. ”

King Guangping smiled slightly: "My son is not lying, my son's eyes are really bad." If you really become an emperor, you will be tired every day, and your life will be shortened by several years. It's better than it is now. is rich and leisurely, and the emperor is no longer suspicious of his son, what else does his son have to worry about? ”

Gao Zhen interjected beside him: "Grandmother Huang, now the external trouble is serious. My father didn't want to worry about it. Although they are all brothers. But when it comes to the throne, brothers also have to become enemies. The emperor and your father are your flesh and blood, if you turn your face for the throne, can you not feel sad? The courtiers did not necessarily approve of it. In the past two or three years, most of the new courtiers in the court have been promoted by the emperor, and the few who were used by the former father and the king have not been replaced by idle posts. It is to go out or to say goodbye. My father is not sure, so it's better to have more than less. ”

The consideration of the father and son is also reasonable. The Queen Mother sighed: "That's it, you men are the ones who make up their minds, and I, a woman in the deep palace, don't understand, so I won't interfere." After a pause, "I'm afraid Da Lang can't afford it." ”

Gao Zhen smiled: "What is the imperial grandmother worried about?" Although Da Lang is younger, he is not a stupid person, with so many important ministers to assist, and Shang Taifu watching from the side, how can he not afford it? If you really can't afford it, there is still me and my father. We will definitely assist him, and we will also share the emperor's worries, right? ”

He exchanged a look with King Guangping, and both smiled. The Queen Mother was stunned and smiled: "You have a heart." In this case, Zhen'er will be a good brother in the future, and take care of Da Lang more. She slowly retracted her smile, "Tell Da Lang to be an understanding person, don't be like ...... His father and ancestors were confused all day long! ”

It didn't take long for the emperor to come back from the Great Buddha Hall, with a little annoyance between his eyebrows, but his mood was quite calm.

The Queen Mother asked him, "How is the Xie family?" I simply didn't even call the "queen" anymore.

The Emperor sneered and said, "She is a fool, she has gone mad once, but now she understands a little more, and she is willing to speak softly, and only beg me to spare a few childrenβ€”it's really ridiculous!" The children are all in my blood, do I need her to intercede?! Does she know that she feels sorry for her child now? When she poked me in the face with a hairpin, did she ever think about the child for half a minute? Now it's pretending! ”

The queen mother can also imagine what the queen's reaction will be, she only said: "The emperor asked her to send her back to Kunning Palace, she was locked up in the big Buddha hall all day long, and the mourning family couldn't go to worship the Buddha." There were many concubines and concubines living in this courtyard, so that they could see the daughter-in-law of the mourning family going crazy, and the mourning family's face was not good-looking. ”

This is not a difficult matter, the emperor agreed on the spot, and ordered to go down and ask the people waiting for the queen in the Kunning Palace to come and pick up people. However, he had already made up his mind in his heart, although he couldn't abolish the queen, he couldn't let her enjoy the honor of the queen anymore. The paper in the middle palace must be stopped, and the phoenix seal will be temporarily handed over to the queen mother. Concubine Duan is pregnant, and she was frightened because of his eye injury, and now she can only rest in bed all day long, and she can't continue to take care of palace affairs, but she is afraid that she will have to admit another virtuous woman into the palace. asked the Queen Mother to help him deal with these things, and he had nothing to worry about. It's just that the queen returned to Kunning Palace, it is better to continue to "lie sick", this time it is better to be more sick, if you can not afford to be sick, it will save everyone's trouble, it will not affect the origin of the emperor's eldest son, and it will not cause trouble to everyone.

If the queen is a loving mother, she should know that it is best for the eldest son to do so.

The Empress did not disappoint the Emperor. Since the day she returned to Kunning Palace, she has refused to eat or drink water, and has only fallen asleep on the bed, ignoring how others persuade her. The confidant palace people were afraid that she would have a bad idea, so they helped her pour some ginseng soup, and a bowl of ginseng soup would overflow eighty percent. After three days, she was so thin that she lost her shape.

The doctor came to check the pulse, but said that she was seriously ill, and she was afraid that she would not be able to get better. The eldest son of the emperor, who had just been released from the East Palace, knelt down in front of the queen's bed, crying bitterly, and could not make the queen open her eyes once.

Two more days passed, and the queen died. After all, she died in Kunning Palace as the queen and was not deposed. It's just that the emperor ordered her to be buried as an imperial concubine, and the officials and people of the whole country only need to observe a month's funeral, which is not the treatment that a queen should have at all. It's just that no one in the court has any objections, and the royal family has not said a bad word. Everyone felt that it was already up to the eldest son of the emperor that the queen could still enjoy such a status. Although the emperor loves to be suspicious, he is still very affectionate and righteous to the yuan.

As soon as the queen's filial piety period passed, the emperor issued an order to hold a ceremony for the establishment of the prince. After a long wait, the eldest son of the emperor finally officially became the new crown prince.

It's just that he was thin and put on the crown dress of the prince, and when he knelt down to receive the decree to the emperor who had not healed his eye injury in the main hall, he only felt at a loss in his heart, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. (To be continued......)
