Son of Heaven, he died, such a simple word made the surroundings suddenly quiet, and then, I don't know who started first, someone knelt down, Yulin also knelt down, listening to the cry in his ears, he couldn't help but look up at the princess of Qin, the princess of Qinguo was still standing there, her back straight and her face was calm, like a giant pillar in the sky! There was a bell from not far away, which was to announce to the world that the Son of Heaven had died.

The princess of Qin Guo stood there, watching all the people kneel, but somehow, her shoulders were heavier than usual. Just now, the emperor held the hand of the princess of Qin and looked at the prince with earnest eyes: "Sister and brother are of the same heart, the world is stable!" ”

These were my father's last words, and they were also my most ardent hope. The princess of Qin looked not far away, at this moment, the ministers should also know the news and discuss those backup matters. Obviously, there should be a lot of things to do, but the princess of Qin Guo didn't want to do it, she just wanted to find a place to cry, but she couldn't go, so she could only stand there, standing straighter than usual.

The princess of Qin looked up, from here you can see the layers of palaces, beyond the imperial city, it is the prosperity of the capital, and then go out, it is the prosperous and rich rivers and mountains of Dayong. Guard, guard, guard!

There was a sound of footsteps behind her, the princess of Qin turned around and looked at the prince, no, at this moment, he is the heir of the emperor, the princess of Qin looked at her younger brother, knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the rivers and mountains are all entrusted to you!" ”

The action of the princess of Qin made the heir emperor take a step back, and then he looked up at everyone, at this moment, I am the Son of Heaven, no longer the prison country, but the Son of Heaven! The queen, no, it should be said that the Empress Dowager Zhu is being surrounded by people, seeing this scene, tears welled up in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhu, and finally looked forward to it, looking forward to her son ascending the throne, looking forward to becoming the queen mother, and looking forward to the day when she will no longer be under the control of the emperor.

The eyes of the princess of Qin Guo have already looked at the Empress Dowager Zhu, her eyes are still so cold, and the Empress Dowager Zhu is dissatisfied in her heart, this time, no one can separate her mother and son. Dayong, rule the world with filial piety, how can the Son of Heaven disobey his mother?

Yulin looked at this scene, this apparent peace was finally about to be broken, and the Empress Dowager Zhu couldn't wait to jump out like this and declare her honor as the queen mother? The wind swept through the corners of everyone's clothes, hovered above the palace for a long time, and then went into the distance, bringing the news of the emperor's death everywhere!

"Your Majesty, before Emperor Daxing died, he gave several decrees, but the one next to him was okay, but the one that took away the title of the Zhu family was not issued. Why doesn't Your Majesty pursue this will? "The first thing the emperor did was to discuss with his ministers what to do about the funeral of Emperor Daxing.

The edict has already been prepared, and there is nothing new, the prince has been in the position of the prince for a long time, he has already become an adult, and he has been in charge of the country for a long time. It's just that the heir emperor didn't expect that a few days before Emperor Daxing's death, the edict that issued an edict to deprive the Zhu family of titles was not issued.

"This matter is the wish of Emperor Daxing, so I naturally have to obey it!" Emperor Hei's answer was not unexpected by the ministers, but if you want Emperor Hei to recover the edict, there are naturally other reasons, and the new Chu Shoufu has already said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and filial, and the world knows it!" But there is no reason in the world to only honor the father and not respect the mother! The Zhu family is His Majesty's mother's family, although this edict was drafted by Emperor Daxing during his lifetime, it has not been issued, if His Majesty does not withdraw this will, the people of the world only demean the mother's family when His Majesty first ascended to the great treasure, it is disrespectful to the Queen Mother! ”

Is that really the case? The Emperor felt a deep sense of powerlessness, but still said: "Even if you say so, you should also know why the previous dynasty died." "The previous dynasty was unable to suppress the imperial power due to the rivalry between relatives, so there was the matter of Dayong Taizu raising troops, and only then did the Chen family have the royal family.

Therefore, Dayong's relatives have been suppressed, and even within three generations, all concubines are not allowed to come from the same family! In order to avoid the misfortune of relatives!

"Your Majesty, but ......" Some courtiers still wanted to persuade him, but the emperor had already said: "I already know about this matter, and I will go to report this matter to the Queen Mother!" Since their mother and son were going to discuss, the ministers did not persuade them and moved on to the next topic.

It was Chu Shoufu who spoke: "Emperor Daxing's edict, the princess of Qin State is allowed to assist the government, in the eyes of the ministers, this matter is also inappropriate!" ”

"Do you want Emperor Daxing to not obey the edict?" The emperor's words made Chu Shoufu kneel: "It's not that the ministers are unwilling to obey the edict, but there are chaotic orders and orders, if they are ordered, the ministers will naturally abide by them, if they are disorderly, the ministers have the responsibility of impeachment and assistance, and they dare not obey!" ”

"All the ministers are the pillars of my Dayong, and I should know that this order was not an impromptu idea of my father before his death, but he already knew it. Sister She is not married, and she has no descendants, she is willing to do such a thing for my Dayong's country, why do you bother to oppose it with such an example that there is never in the world? As the Son of Heaven, can't I set this precedent? "In this matter, we must not let it.

The emperor's words silenced the ministers, and then someone said: "Your Majesty Shengming, there is nothing wrong with this, but Your Majesty, Si Chen ...... Ji"

"Do you want to say that it is not good for the country?" The emperor's voice was cold, and then he said: "Don't you see how Sister A's auxiliary government has handled the government in the past few months?" Do you all think that my sister is such an ordinary woman who only understands the shortcomings of her family? Besides, the queen mother can be regent, why can't the princess be an assistant? ”

"Qingtang ......" A minister spit out these two words, and the emperor lowered his eyes: "I know that the current royal family of Qingtang is a concubine who has taken the original throne. However, Qingtang is Qingtang, Dayong is Dayong, my sister, not that kind of person! ”

"Your Majesty......" There are ministers who want to persuade again, but the emperor has already said: "This matter has been decided, and it will never be discussed again!" "Since I can't persuade it now, maybe, in the future, several ministers glanced at each other, and after thinking about it, they decided to take a step back for the time being, after all, if they don't cooperate, the auxiliary government of the princess of Qin is just talking on paper!

The rest is what to do about the funeral, and there are precedents for these things, and it is good to change the details a little. The discussion was decided, the ministers retreated, and the emperor walked to the main hall where the spirit was stopped, where there were people mourning in front of the spirit of the emperor day and night.

The emperor looked at his father's huge coffin, surrounded by cigarette smoke, the emperor was silent for a long time, father, this son of heaven, it is really not so easy to be.

A hand patted the shoulder of the emperor, at this moment, there was only one person who could do this. The emperor turned around, and sure enough, he saw the princess of Qin.

The princess of Qin Guo's expression was a little haggard, and although her eyes were still bright, she could still see sadness in them. The Emperor looked at his sister and said softly: "Sister, I remember what my father said when he was dying!" ”

"I'm not worried about this, brother, you are never confused in major matters, I just think that the situation is already very bad, but these ministers are still arguing over who gets more benefits." The princess of Qin said calmly, the heir emperor was not surprised that she already knew the thoughts of the ministers and wanted to comfort her, but the princess of Qin didn't need him to comfort her, which made the heir a little frustrated, and always thought that she would be able to catch up with her sister when she grew up, but now she knows that even if she becomes the son of heaven, many times, she can't catch up with her sister.

A woman who is naturally strong and does not need to be comforted by others. No wonder she regards men in the world as nothing.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother summoned you!" The chamberlain walked to the side of the emperor and was very respectful.

As soon as Emperor Daxing died, the ban was naturally lifted, and Empress Dowager Zhu did not heal herself. The emperor lowered his eyes, why did his mother force him? Princess Qin patted her younger brother on the shoulder to show comfort: "Remember, you are the Son of Heaven and the master of this society, even if it is me, if you want to take this life, please take it!" ”

"Sister!" The emperor only said these two words, so he hugged his fist to the princess of Qin and went to the back.

Rights, if you can't go crazy. The princess of Qin looked at the back of the heir emperor, but if the Empress Dowager Zhu felt sorry for her son, she would not ask the Zhu family to return to Beijing at this moment, nor would she ask to respect the Zhu family at this moment.

"Sister!" Yulin's voice sounded, and the princess of Qin looked at her: "Yulin, it's not the same as before!" ”

The coquettishness that once had has completely faded, and Yulin at this time is gentle and quiet from the inside out.

"Sister, I'm worried about you!" Yulin had a thousand words to say to her sister, but what she could say was such a sentence, which made the princess of Qin State smile lightly, and then the smile disappeared: "Yulin, there are gains and losses, Uncle Wu Wang has already told you this truth!" ”

The truth is known, but it depends on who this person is, Yulin looked at Princess Qin Guo: "When I was a child, I always felt that my sister was omnipotent, but when I grew up, I knew that this was my delusion!" ”

"No, you're not wrong, Yulin, I said, I will protect you, and I won't break my word!" In the voice of the princess of Qin Guo, it is always firm, this is her sister! The tears in Yulin's eyes fell, but not for Emperor Daxing, but for the princess of Qin.

Princess Qin reached out to catch Yulin's tears: "Yulin, don't be sad for me. Never! "The chosen road, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, will go on, not to mention, this is still what I like! The princess of Qin looked at the palace that seemed to be continuous, her face was still firm, no matter what the wind and waves, she had already thought about how to face it, instead of cowering!

"The queen mother's will, the son can't obey!" Emperor Daxing had drafted an edict before his death, depriving the Zhu family of titles, and the news that the Zhu family was not allowed to enter the office for three generations was known by the Empress Dowager Zhu after the death of Emperor Daxing.

Let the Zhu family regain its glory, almost becoming the demon of the Empress Dowager Zhu, not to mention that this is something that Emperor Daxing is trying to oppose, since he opposes it, the Empress Dowager Zhu must do it. I almost couldn't wait to summon my son, asking my son to respect the Zhu family and allow the Zhu family to be a high-ranking official. Even though she knew that her son might refuse, Empress Dowager Zhu also thought of other ideas, which was a good negotiation for this price. Unexpectedly, his son refused mercilessly. This made Empress Dowager Zhu frown: "Emperor, the Zhu family is not only my maiden family, but also your grandfather's family, if you don't respect it, how can you deprecate?" ”

"It has been more than 20 years since the queen mother married into the Chen family, if the Zhu family keeps to herself, the son will naturally take care of the Zhu family, but can the queen mother tell her son that the Zhu family is like this?" The Emperor's words made Empress Dowager Zhu's brows furrow tighter, and she slapped the table: "Ridiculous, where did you hear these ridiculous words, your grandfather was attacked by traitors, and your uncle has always been honest, where has he never kept to himself?" ”

"Queen Mother!" Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhu was angry, the emperor bowed down and said, "Didn't you say what the queen mother said?" This made Empress Dowager Zhu's eyes narrow: "Okay, okay, I have raised a good son, and I don't have anything, just tell me this." Do you know that the emperor is not filial......"

"If the queen mother thinks that if she doesn't respect the Zhu family, she is unfilial to you, and her son can only admit this crime!" Empress Dowager Zhu really didn't expect her son to be so straightforward, looking at her son without saying a word, and then sighed: "I've been here for so many decades......"

"The queen mother is the original match of the emperor of Daxing, and she is the queen from the first time she enters the palace, if the queen mother uses boiling, then what should other concubines use? The queen mother treats her son well, and the son remembers it, and he should try his best to make up for it. But the queen mother, respecting the Zhu family, absolutely can't! After speaking, the emperor knelt on the ground and bowed and retreated!

"Rebel!" Empress Dowager Zhu overturned everything on the table, coughed, the palace maids around her were busy coming over to pour water on her back, and Princess Le'an had already walked out: "Queen Mother, this matter is not feasible, why do you force my brother like this?" ”

"Do you want me to watch you be suppressed by that little?" Empress Dowager Zhu's words silenced Princess Le'an, and then continued to persuade: "My father's arrangement before his death must have the intention of my father, so why should my mother fight with my father?" ”

"What is the intention, he is reluctant to give up that woman, that is, to let that woman's child ascend to the throne of God. What is your brother's character, you know, he is subordinated, you and my mother and daughter, where should we go? Empress Dowager Zhu clutched her daughter's sleeve tightly, and her tone was very desperate.

Although Princess Le'an felt that her mother was thinking too much, she could only comfort her, and it was easy for her to fall asleep with medicine, Princess Le'an instructed the palace maid to serve well, and then walked out of the Empress Dowager Zhu's bedroom.

Princess Le'an took a closer look and recognized that this was the little apprentice of her mother's personal attendant, and couldn't help frowning: "You are not a newcomer anymore, why are you still so frizzy?" The waiter hurriedly responded: "It's the slave's fault, and I hope the princess will spare the slave and maid!" ”

After speaking, the chamberlain knelt down, Princess Le'an would not take this little thing to heart, and was about to continue walking, when she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and called her maid: "Follow up and listen, what are they saying!" The maid should have quietly followed.

Princess Le'an was going to go to the resting place, but at the moment she felt strange, of course she would not continue, but stood there, pretending to rest a little, and soon the maid came back: "Princess, the little chamberlain said that it seems that His Majesty wants to send a will, and I want to ask the Queen Mother to stop it!" ”

The will that can make the Queen Mother stop is probably aimed at the Zhu family, Princess Le'an lowered her eyes, she actually didn't have such a good impression of her grandfather's family, so she let the maid retreat and go to the Empress Dowager Zhu's bedroom. Empress Dowager Zhu's personal attendant had already walked to Empress Dowager Zhu's bedside, waiting to wake her up.

Princess Le'an stood there, at this moment, what are you fighting for? My mother, is she really sick, at this moment, I still don't forget this matter. Princess Le'an glanced at the palace maid serving next to her, and the palace maid understood, and stepped forward to stop the chamberlain.

This posture was already obvious, and the chamberlain looked up and saw Princess Le'an standing there, and the sweat on his forehead immediately fell.

Princess Le'an motioned for him to go out with him, and when he walked outside, Princess Le'an said: "Say, what is the will that Your Majesty wants to send?" ”

At this moment, how dare the chamberlain hide it, knelt down and said: "As soon as Your Majesty came out of the Queen Mother, he looked for the minister, saying that the Queen Mother deeply felt that the Zhu family was favored by the emperor and had nothing to repay. The edict was specially issued to exempt the Zhu family from the title, and the children of this generation are not allowed to enter the office! His Majesty deeply felt the love of the Queen Mother, and gave the Zhu family 10,000 taels of gold and 1,000 acres of fertile land, and ordered the magistrate to take good care of the Zhu family, and not let the Zhu family suffer a little insult! ”

If this is the case, such an edict was issued in the name of the Queen Mother, preserving the reputation of the mother and son, Princess Le'an sighed lightly, when, the generous younger brother in her memory will be like this, or, he should have been the Son of Heaven, so he would do this.

"Excellent! You don't have to tell the Queen Mother about this matter, you should also be careful when you are by the Queen Mother's side, as for the Zhu family, just keep rewarding! Only then did the waiter feel that his life was saved, and he should have said yes, and when Princess Le'an left, the waiter wiped the sweat on his forehead, these princesses and princes are all different from the original.

Since the heir emperor issued an edict in the name of the queen mother, the ministers did not have anything else to say, praising the queen mother for her deep understanding of righteousness, and she really deserved a generation of virtuous queens. As for the Empress Dowager Zhu, it wasn't until a long time later that the news of Mrs. Zhu's death came, and I learned that a long time ago, my son had issued an edict in his own name and stripped the title of the Zhu family. At that time, Empress Dowager Zhu wanted to scold her son, but it was already too late. Except for asking people to reward the Zhu family with more things to show their continuous grace, they can't do anything else.

Emperor Daxing stopped for 7749 days, and Qin Tianjian chose a day to be buried on an auspicious day and sent to Xiaoci County, where the imperial tomb is located, for burial. The heir emperor sent the Empress Dowager Zhu to the funeral in person, and the civil and military officials and women inside and outside the country had to be sent to the location of the imperial mausoleum.

On the day of the funeral, the whole country was covered with white flowers, and crying could be heard everywhere. At this time, an urgent military report was sent to the capital, and Qingtang gathered 50,000 elite soldiers ten days ago, in the name of Dayong's refusal to accept the marriage contract and the humiliation of Qingtang, attacked the border pass, and wanted to discuss an explanation with Dayong.

When the princess of Qin received the military report, what floated in her heart was these four words, finally here! This delayed for more than half a year, which made the princess of Qin a little uneasy, finally came.

The burial of Emperor Daxing is a major event, but the military report is even more important, just on the way, the new emperor summoned the ministers to discuss what to do?

Qingtang sent troops, and Dayong could only catch up, but the glue point was who to send to meet the battle.

It stands to reason that Liu Jinsong is at the border pass, and it is most reasonable to take him as the commander of the general, but this idea was immediately opposed: "Although Liu Jinsong is deeply trusted, it is rare to lead the troops with a horse." Second, after all, Liu Juma is young and has never been on the battlefield, in short, ......"

Before this person finished speaking, he stopped when he saw the eyes cast by the princess of Qin State, and then hesitated and continued: "Ministers, naturally you should listen to the decision of Your Majesty and the princess, but such a major event must always be ......."

"Do you have to deliberate? Today, it is the eighth day of the sixth month, and the military newspaper makes it very clear that on May 28, Qingtang suddenly sent troops. If it is faster, I am afraid that at this time, the border has been lost, ministers, have you ever thought about this? Could it be that the people from outside attacked and came in, and the fire burned their eyebrows, and they still had to deliberate carefully, squeeze out each other, and choose a person who everyone was satisfied with to lead the troops? Besides, I'm not afraid to tell you that this time with troops to help is not such a glorious thing. If anyone wants to make money by this, let me go down to accompany the Emperor Daxing!" ”

Princess Qin's words naturally aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, and Chu Shoufu's eyebrows frowned before he said: "Princess, everyone is the country and the country, besides, kill the minister at will, is the princess ......?"

"Chu Shoufu, you are also a person who reads poetry and books, when Zhisheji is in danger, these can be done cheaply! I propose, issue an edict, and use Liu Juma as a general to fight against ......"

The princess of Qin State's words were interrupted, "Princess, no, this is not the time when Sheji is in danger, and with the precedent of decades ago, the Qingtang Dynasty has always only wanted some gold and silver goods, so we might as well send someone to negotiate peace!" ”

"Peace?" This proposal did not surprise the princess of Qin State, she looked at the person who spoke, and the mockery in her eyes was very deep: "My mother is from Qingtang, even if I don't dare to guarantee it, why do you ministers think that what Qingtang wants is only gold and silver goods?" Do you know what Princess Yanning said to me, to my father, and to Your Majesty that day? What they want is this country, it's the country, it's nothing else! ”

The words of Princess Yanning that day, the new emperor remembered very clearly, so indifferent, so arrogant, like the rivers and mountains of Dayong, was already in the pocket of Qingtang. The new emperor sighed lightly and said, "Do you still remember the general surnamed Cen who was escorted into Beijing a few months ago? ”

Of course, I remember that at that time, there were still people who used this to attack Cheng Shousuke. The new emperor looked at them: "He has confessed that he has been colluding with the Qingtang side for a long time, if the last conspiracy succeeds and General Wu dies at the hands of the soldiers, he will take advantage of the time to calm the chaos, slaughter the soldiers, and then report to the court to be promoted." If General Wu doesn't die, he will also open the gate of the border pass and let Qingtang Tie ride in! ”

"Such people who collude with foreign enemies and betray the country to seek glory should exterminate the Nine Clans to show the power of the Son of Heaven!" After a long silence, someone said angrily. The new emperor nodded: "It should be like this, I once asked him personally, why did he do such a thing, did he forget, he is still a subject of Dayong?" He said that the soldiers at the border pass had been short of pay for a long time, and they were also taken away from them for their military exploits, and they were often insulted by civilian officials of the seventh or eighth grade. If the people above the temple are not wise, why should they die for the country?

The author has something to say: this is a mess of porridge!
