Chapter 144: Suspicion
In any case, this is indeed a major event, and it is very understandable that the emperor could not make up his mind for a while. Although the queen mother said this, she didn't expect the emperor to nod her head immediately, and when she saw that he couldn't stop groaning, she took the initiative to say, "The queen is abolished, after all, it is still based on your will." I'm an old woman, I'm just talking in vain, I'm so old, and I don't want to worry too much about you...... lest you, the younger generation, think that I am not going to die! ”
It's just saying that, the Queen Mother's approach just now is actually a mess, what does it mean to be based on the emperor's intentions? Except for agreeing to a deposed queen, several other things are completely the Queen Mother's idea. And the attitude is quite tough, there is no sense of compromise, if the emperor doesn't want to do this, the only way seems to be to give up the abolition, but in this way, the eldest son of the emperor still has to move into the Kunning Palace with his mother to spend time with the queen, and this is something that the emperor absolutely can't accept, he is not cheap, when he still wanted a sister-in-law before, he tossed with the queen and said that there was a common goal, and now even the sister-in-law can't be tossed, and the queen's face will be seen from time to time in the next few decades, Appreciating her cold expression and utilitarian actions, the emperor thought that he was tired of it. He felt that he really didn't need to be so compromised, at least he was an emperor, and the Lord could still do this.
But after it was determined that it was abolished, then the problem came, the Queen Mother gave this road, which was nothing to discuss. I basically agree with her thinking, that is, there is a detail that you can change - whether it will work to change the Sun family as the future', that is tantamount to insulting the wisdom of the old man. The emperor also understands that if the situation does not change much, it is a bit difficult to expect the queen mother to change her mind and change her attitude.
Tough way, it doesn't mean that there is no one, and now go out and ignore Qingning Palace, it doesn't mean that it won't work. With her own understanding of the old man, although she still has some killer features in her hands, but with such a lose-lose trick, the Queen Mother will not say that she will use it casually, for the position of a daughter-in-law, she will not.
- However, looking at the old man's stubborn pursed lips, wrinkles were faintly visible between his eyebrows, but the emperor's heart couldn't harden. Although over the years, my mother has either not been strict with herself, or now, she still repeatedly sends people to inquire about her daily life and even major government affairs, and she has not relaxed at all. But in the final analysis, this is not because her mother is greedy for power and loves power, but purely because she really cares about herself. There are many things that the emperor was resistant to at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it is all the queen mother's hard work. For example, when I don't have children, I don't think that the eldest son of the emperor was born, and the emperor pinched his fingers, and the time when he was pregnant and the time when he completely stopped taking the pill happened to be a year apart.
If it weren't for the hard work of my mother to mediate for my father all my life, I am afraid that the position of the crown prince would have been lost. even said, if she hadn't brought her life, how could the emperor stand here and fight with her now? The emperor has a pure Confucian education, although he does not say that he has the heart to enter "Twenty-four Filial Piety", but he is not a bastard enough to yell at his mother. It is understandable that the old man is so resistant to Sun, one, the queen mother has been strict and polite all her life, and the importance is the word rules, if it is not for her own hard work, I am afraid that the early Luo will expose this plan during her pregnancy, if this matter is not given a complete explanation, the old man will not let go of his heart.
There is another one, a while ago, Sun was indeed a little too disrespectful to the old man, and there were some things that she might not intend to, but once her mother knew here, she might not be this opinion. At this point, the emperor is not without dissatisfaction with the concubine, in this palace, your concubine can get along with anyone, but there can be no deliberate disrespect to the emperor's mother who single-handedly pulls you out. This matter, even if the Queen Mother doesn't say it, he also has something to say.
But none of this is the crux of the matter, or even a sub-crux. The Emperor pondered for a moment, and then made a decisive decision.
"The queen is abolished, after all, she is not in a hurry." He said, "Now the outside world cares about the establishment of the prince......
When the words came out, I couldn't help but be stunned again - in front of my mother, the emperor would definitely not do anything step by step, who would be idle and play scheming with his own mother? When he said it, he completely figured it out, unless he immediately retorted and didn't admit that he had just made a promise to the jade name, otherwise, if the crown prince and the abolition of the queen could not be carried out simultaneously, Sun Guifei would inevitably face doubts from the government and the opposition - the children were all publicized, saying that it was from the concubine, but the jade did not write Sun's name at this time......
The emperor was very confident in taking charge of the Jade Zongren Mansion - this news must not be hidden, at least when the Empress Dowager had the heart to oppose the Sun family, the Zongren Mansion was not the focus of attention at all. And if it is said that before and after the establishment of the crown prince, the Lisun clan was also built, then it would be okay, and the ministers and relatives outside would not take care of this idle matter. But now these two things can't be synchronized, and I don't know how to spread the Sun family outside, and when the reputation is bad, even if the queen mother is convinced, if she wants to abolish it and then set it up, I'm afraid it will be difficult......
The emperor was really speechless now, full of fire, it was not easy to send it in front of his mother, he sorted out his disordered thoughts, and finally continued, "Why don't you discuss a charter for the establishment of the prince first?" ”
"This child must be the crown prince," the queen mother must have attached great importance to the eldest grandson who was born so easily. didn't say anything about the child being too young, and the current prince was just afraid that he would not be able to say anything. In fact, according to the rules of the previous dynasty, a child was generally raised until he was eight years old, and there was not much danger of dying before he could be appointed as a prince. If you don't raise a ten-year-old, you can't be considered a human being at all. "Now the weather is too cold to be suitable for salutes, and when the spring flowers bloom and the children are full of 100 days, the canonization ceremony will be carried out. How are you? can issue an edict to let the Ministry of Rites agree, delete the occasion he should attend a little, don't do anything, just go through the process. ”
The emperor's mood eased a little - in this matter, he and the queen mother did not have any conflict, "The son also sees it this way, and the son still thinks that it is better to do a prayer for the child in the Great Ci'en Temple......"
Although he is the lord of the empire, but at this time, the emperor is just an ordinary father, and his son wants to do everything, and after discussing with the Queen Mother for a while, the Queen Mother suddenly sighed, "This child has been born for so long, I haven't seen him yet." ”
The emperor's heart was suddenly sour, looking at his mother's demeanor, where did he remember the pros and cons for a while, what scheming? Because of the road, "Coming from Changning Palace, it is indeed a long way, and I am afraid that the child will take the wind." Why don't you go and see him now, my son? Although it has only been a few days, the yellow in the womb has faded, and Bai Shengsheng is beautiful! Born a little like my father. ”
No matter how you say it, it is the eldest grandson, a glimmer of longing flashed in the queen mother's eyes, she obviously hesitated, and said, "That's it, I'm also old, and the road is so far away, if I get sick from the wind, how can I get it?" Let's talk about it after the spring blossoms. Anyway, it's not a few months left. ”
I knew it wouldn't be that easy......
The fire in the backyard and the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really annoying and speechless. Important, this time it is the emperor's mother who disagrees with him, not that you can simply and rudely give death or seclusion. When the emperor walked out of Qingning Palace, he was really full of evil fire, but he still had to hide it so that no one could see it. After all, he is not the same age as he was then, and if a woman is angry, he will go to the whip tree, not to mention others, and even the emperor himself will look down on his own city.
But this matter is different from the court affair, and every party involved can be said to be pulling the emperor's heart, the emperor was so upset that he only felt that his head hurt suddenly, and he was blown by the cold wind, and he couldn't speak for a while...... Let's go to Yong'an Palace! ”
At this time, it is not yet noon, and it is time for dinner. The emperor didn't have lunch in Qingning Palace, so it can be seen that he didn't have a good conversation with the queen mother. The attendants around him were all quiet, no one dared to say a word, even if they heard that they were going to Yong'an Palace, they were somewhat surprised, but no one dared to say anything, all of them honestly lowered their eyebrows, followed the emperor's side, and entered Yong'an Palace all the way.
"Why is the big brother here?" Xu Xun was a little surprised when he saw the emperor, but as before, he stood up and greeted him with a smile, and stepped forward to help the emperor take off his cloak in person, "It's just snowing outside, it's so cold, why don't you wear a hood?" The eyebrows are covered with snow particles. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to brush away the snow particles for him, touched his cheek again, and said with a smile, "It's a little cold, sit on the side of the kang and warm up." ――Would you like to change a pair of socks? I was walking in the snow just now, and I was afraid that my feet would be cold. ”
Walking into Yong'an Palace, this cordial, tranquil and homely feeling cannot be obtained anywhere else. Although others may take the same meticulous care of him, no one can greet him as naturally and affectionately as Xu Xun. If it was in the past, even if he was still angry in his heart, Xu Xun served like this, and the emperor's heart would have softened a long time ago. But today, with the sudden pain in the temples, there is an extremely complicated emotion in my heart. It can't be said that he was moved, suspicious, or annoyed - being blown all the way by the cold wind just now could not calm him down, and the current emperor is already completely chaotic.
Xu Xun also saw that he was wrong, and she guided the emperor to sit down on the kang with concern, "But the wind blows your head and gives you a headache?" I remember that Ma Shi has a good hand in massage, otherwise, let him pinch it for you? ”
The emperor covered his forehead and waved his hand, put his hand on the kang table, and unexpectedly put it on a book, and when he glanced to the side, he saw a big red thick gift list.
"Who gave you a gift?" The emperor said as he picked it up and looked at it.
At this glance, his eyes froze: although there is no name of the giver, judging from the objects on the gift list alone, this is by no means a list that the minister can give Xu Xun a gift. Moreover, to put it mildly, the foreign minister's gift list will not be handed to Yong'an Palace casually.
"It was sent by Sister Hu." Xu Xun's attitude was very calm, and he added, "Said that I would take it away, and when Ah Huang got married, I would add some dowries for her." ”
The emperor had some suspicions in his heart, but because of Xu Xun's attitude, he floated again. - Although Xu Xun is not a smart person in Bingxue, he should not be so fearless that the ignorant will be fearless to this and expose her and the queen's collusion in front of the emperor.
"So...... She's always been in touch with you, hasn't she? He half-squinted, and said casually, without glancing at Xu Xun. I thought she hadn't seen anyone outside for a while, and she hadn't spoken to anyone. ”
"Nothing was passed on." Xu Xun replied quite calmly. "The last time I saw Sister Hu, it seemed that it was a few months ago, didn't she live in a simple place for a while, and she didn't even come out to ask for peace? However, when I came to give the gift this morning, the palace maid said a few words, but I guessed a little......"
"What did she tell you?" The emperor looked at Xu Xun. His eyes moved around his face, but he couldn't find a trace of emotion that shouldn't have been. Xu Xun probably felt that chatting with him was commonplace, and the whole person was quite relaxed, and when he asked, he hesitated for a moment and answered.
"She said, please read my affection, accept her gift, and take care of the eldest princess more in the future......" Xu Xun sighed as he spoke. Big brother, is it really decided? ”
"Hmm." The emperor replied nonchalantly, "Although it is decided, let's leave her some dignity and let her abdicate and cultivate...... With many diseases, go to Qingning Palace to find a palace to live in, and transform it into a Taoist temple. ”
A trace of melancholy flashed across Xu Xun's face, and after a while, he said, "Big brother is merciful." ”
Although she said so, her expression showed that she was obviously very sympathetic to the queen.
The emperor felt that his headache was gradually relieved, and his thoughts seemed to be slowly clear, and he smiled slightly, "Huh? Why, look at you, do you think I'm too ruthless? ”
"This ......" Xu Xun still looked very innocent, as if she didn't feel that she was being tempted at all, she said, "That's not it, but I can't help but feel some emotion in my heart." Sister Hu's morality, there is nothing to find fault with...... Hey, it's just that my life is not strong, and my body is too weak. ”
The emperor did not comment on this - Xu Xun still expressed his support for the empress, but when the abolition of the post-abolishment was a foregone conclusion, this support was nothing at all.
"If it's up to you, shouldn't I be the queen?" He asked idly.
Xu Xun obviously didn't want to discuss this topic anymore. "It's all decided, what's the use of you asking me again, can I say a few words, and you won't abolish Sister Hu?"
The emperor is half-truthed, "It's hard to say. ”
"If you look at me," Xu Xun sighed, and didn't continue to dodge, "There are no rules. Sister Hu didn't break the rules, it's a bit ignorant for you to abolish her, and the people still have a seven-out three-out ......"
The emperor made a gesture of intent, and after a while, he said, "It's just that the eldest son of the emperor is like this now, and it's not easy to accept the department...... It's hard to remember this jade. What does the queen mean, have you heard? She wanted to take credit for her name. ”
Xu Xun sneered, shook his head and said, "Doing this is also against the principles of heaven and humanity...... It's better to remember the name of the biological mother and raise it in the Kunning Palace. Whether it is Sister Hu or the queen, she will have to be supported by the eldest son of the emperor in the future, and in doing so, she can also take into account the rules and human feelings. ”
Whether it is Sister Hu or Hou ......
It is the same as the Queen Mother......
Kunning Palace has exchanged and given gifts several times - once a while ago, and again today.
The eldest son of the emperor blows the pillow wind before his birth......
The emperor's eyes slowly lost their temperature, he lowered his head, and fiddled with his purse carelessly, and after a while, he said softly, "Xiao Xun...... I won't tell you that the position of the queen of the Hu family can't sit down anymore, and this time, I'm determined to abolish her. ”
As he thought, Xu Xun was not surprised by the news, she just nodded slightly sadly.
"However, after the establishment of another family, now I don't plan to establish the Sun clan." The emperor thought about it, "After all, she is a moral disadvantage, and after she is established like this, I am afraid that she will plant the seeds of incompatibility in the future...... You said, how about I make you my successor and put the child and my biological mother in your palace to raise? ”
The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze instantly, and the palace attendants under the kang, regardless of seniority, were all unable to hide their surprise, looking at the emperor. 'Bang' - but Xu Xun was startled and dropped the tea bowl he had just picked up in his hand.
And the emperor also half sat up, raised his eyes to look at Xu Xun, and captured her surprise in the slightest.
The author has something to say: it seems to be okay......
finish
The emperor was completely stunned...... I really don't know if to wax him or for whom.
