Chapter 329: Death

The Vernacular Literary Movement is only a precursor, and behind it is an even more magnificent new cultural movement, which will form an extremely powerful force.

Zhao and Ju understand that his lifespan is limited, although according to history, he should be able to live to be sixty years old, in terms of his current physical fitness, he can even live to seventy or even eighty, he can personally teach the next emperor, so that he has extraordinary insight and vision, but even so, what about seventy or eighty years later?

In China, the strength of the conservative forces cannot be overestimated. In the midst of the fierce social changes, the mainstream theory of Confucianism has diverged, with Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng as the two main lines, which stand out and become the mainstream. But at the same time, in Chengdu in Shu and Luoyang in the Central Plains, two relatively large schools of Confucianism were also formed. The three schools of thought contended against the fierce social changes at this time, while the rest of the schools were not willing to be lonely and participated in one after another. They were not only fighting for their views on the general trend of the world, but also for "small things" such as vernacular writing, and various newspapers joined in one after another, and Zhang Duanyi and others, while creating new works in the vernacular, also published some spicy essays—which were naturally also written in vernacular—to fiercely fight back against the conservative forces on all sides.

"It's really lively."

Lin'an City is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is rare to have one or two snows all year round, so when November 9, the seventh year of Yanhuang, after a rare heavy snowfall, Zhao Youju took the harem concubines and princes to step on the snow in the inner garden, and the princes and princesses were so happy that they rolled in the snow, and he and Han Yu watched from afar.

In the upbringing of the prince and princess, Zhao and Ju were more indulgent in their behavior on the one hand, and did not draw so many rules and regulations to restrain them, and on the other hand, they were more strict with their moral requirements and did not allow them to do those vexatious things. In other words, as long as these children can tell a truth, then Zhao Heju will not care about some shocking things in the eyes of the ministers. For example, Meng Jun, the eldest son of the emperor, showed a very strong curiosity in the seventh year of Yanhuang because he was already six years old, and even climbed to the top of the tree without telling the palace maid, just to see how the birds hatched eggs - the Empress Dowager Yang was very angry about this, but Zhao Heju only ordered that in the future, there must be adults guarding the tree.

"The official family is saying that where is it very lively." Zhao and Ju stayed with her last night, so Han Yu's face was still flushed, and the water color was much better, she looked at Zhao and Ju sideways and asked.

"It's lively at home, and it's lively outside." Zhao Youju said with a smile.

"The slave also watched the "Iron House", I didn't expect it to be so ......" Han Yu sighed slightly: "The slave often thinks, the official family is so sacred, why does such a thing happen?" ”

"The affairs of the world can be completely changed by one person or two, even if it is the king of ten thousand vehicles." Zhao Youju shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Ayu, sometimes I feel that my own family is useless, I have been planning for so long, and the layout is so deep, I originally wanted the people to have a good life, but most of the fruits were picked by those insatiable people!" ”

"This is not to blame Your Majesty, people's hearts are in danger, and now they are not arguing about good and evil, the official family is bent on leading people to good, but there are always people who ...... evil"

Seeing that Zhao and Ju seemed to be a little sullen, Han Yu tactfully persuaded them, and while the two were talking, suddenly an attendant ran over in a panic: "Official, official!" ”

Zhao Heju's heart sank, and an ominous premonition rose up.

Sure enough, the inner attendant fell to the ground and said with a crying voice: "Official, the queen mother...... Queen Mother, she fainted! ”

"What about the imperial doctor, go and ask the imperial doctor!" Zhao Heju took a breath and walked quickly towards Ciming Palace as he instructed.

After the autumn, Empress Dowager Yang's body has been a little unwell, and she has been hanging with medicine and cutting off the medicine, Zhao and Juchen asked the province in a dusk, and never let the old lady feel lonely, but this kind of fainting is the first time.

After all, she is old and slow to react, even those young girls in the palace can't let her return to her previous vitality. Since Zhao Youju ascended the throne, he has always been very respectful to her, although he firmly holds the authority, and will ask for her opinions on some major matters, such as the appointment and removal of prime minister and political participation. However, after seeing Zhao Heju's ability to clean up Shi Miyuan, Empress Dowager Yang smiled at these problems and said, "The official family has the idea", but it brought a good head to the harem not to do political affairs. She cooperated so much, Zhao and Ju became more and more respectful to her, and in the past seven or eight years, the relationship between them has been very harmonious. Especially with the addition of children in the harem, the old queen mother teased her grandson, and she really enjoyed her family.

Therefore, when the clan was in turmoil, Zhao Heju asked the old queen mother to come forward and teach those close branches of the clan who tried to divide the division of labor manufacturers to teach a hard lesson, and did not let Zhao Heju bear the infamy of being cold by nature.

When Zhao and Ju came to Ciming Palace, there was already a group of imperial doctors surrounding the Queen Mother's sickbed, and Yang Miaozhen and Xie Dao arrived early in the morning. There was an unconcealed melancholy between their eyebrows, which made Zhao and Ju's hearts even heavier.

"How's it going?" Zhao Yoju asked.

If it were another situation, Zhao Youju might be able to think of a way, but things like birth, old age, sickness and death were beyond his power. The imperial doctors all looked solemn, and when they heard the emperor ask about the queen mother's condition, they were looking at each other. The Son of Heaven was very concerned about the development of medicine, and every year he allocated a huge amount of money for medical research, and now he has made quite a difference, and they are also the beneficiaries of this progress, but they are really powerless about the illness of the Empress Dowager.

"Official, the Queen Mother is old and frail, and this condition is beyond human control." The leader of the imperial doctors was an old man, he was straight, and he was forced to look at him by everyone, but he was not very afraid, and said honestly: "Your Majesty has to be ready." ”

"Oh......" Zhao Heju raised his eyebrows, and the imperial doctors only felt that this gentle and hazy son of heaven became fierce in an instant, and they quietly took a step back.

The Son of Heaven was furious, ambushed millions of corpses, and bled for thousands of miles.

However, Zhao Youju quickly controlled his emotions, this matter is no wonder to the imperial doctor, it was originally a natural law. He sighed: "Do your best, if you can cure the Queen Mother, I will reward you heavily." ”

This is just a helpless move, but it can't change anything, and Zhao and Ju are just talking about personnel.

For three days in a row, Empress Dowager Yang relied on ginseng soup to hang her life, and she never woke up, and Zhao Youju was busy serving her, so she dropped out of the dynasty for three days. Fortunately, at this time, he firmly controlled the government through the prime minister, political participation and Boya Lou attendants, and these people went step by step and did not make any major mistakes.

On the fourth day, Zhao and Ju sat in front of the Empress Dowager Yang's couch in a daze because of insufficient rest, and suddenly heard a faint voice calling him, he blinked, and suddenly realized that this was the Empress Dowager waking up.

Empress Dowager Yang looked at Zhao Youju obliquely, her eyes were very loving, she had no children of her own, even the heir who inherited the throne was not chosen by herself, but seeing Zhao Youju at her couch, she felt very relieved, although she had no children, she had no regrets.

"Official...... How long did the mourning family sleep? ”

"The Queen Mother woke up, this is really good!" Zhao Heju's face showed joy from his heart, and he gently patted the hand of the Empress Dowager Yang: "The Empress Dowager has slept for three days, and the imperial doctor said that as long as you wake up, it will be fine!" ”

"Hehe, the official family is bullying me." Empress Dowager Yang smiled slightly: "The mourning family knows their physical condition...... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time......"

"Why did the Queen Mother say this, Meng Jun and Yinling have been asking for the past few days, why doesn't the imperial grandmother play with them." When Zhao Heju saw her like this, he was secretly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly diverted the topic and mentioned the princes and princesses. Yang Guizhi has no children of his own, and he loves Zhao and Ju's children very much, and sometimes even dotes on them.

"I'm sick, don't let them come, it's not good to be sick." Yang Guizhi smiled, suddenly stretched out his hand, made a very affectionate movement, and stroked Zhao Heju's head.

"The official family is a good son of heaven, my Song Dynasty Zhongxing is a foregone conclusion, I am a woman, from a humble beginning, the first emperor did not give up, I have to be the queen, and the official family is filial, like a biological mother, this life is enough." Yang Guizhi slowly stroked Zhao Heju's hair, sighed softly, the two were close, Zhao Heju smelled a very bad breath, he was shocked, this is the smell of death.

"If the official family is just like this, then it is still a small filial piety, the official family Kuang restored the Central Plains, restored the old capital, opened up the territory, the people are rich and the country is rich, this is great filial piety...... Even Taizu Taizong may not be able to be like an official. ”

"People are about to die, their words are also good, mourning this life, have done a lot of wrong things, bad things, the first few years of the emperor Longyu, mourning family can not sleep at night, always feel that those who have been harmed by the mourning family come to ask for their lives...... However, it has been good in the past few years, and the mourning family eats well and sleeps steadily, even if there is any wind and grass, the mourning family will also think, there is an official family......"

These words were the true flow of Empress Dowager Yang, and Zhao Heju choked up: "Queen Mother!" ”

"Finally called the queen of mourning...... You've been calling me Queen Mother...... The official family is smart, and this small place is ......"

Yang Guizhi said half teasing and half lightly, Zhao Heju's face tightened slightly, and just as he wanted to say something more, Empress Dowager Yang suddenly gasped violently. Zhao Youju smoothed her back, and after a long time, she settled down.

"The official family is so good, and the mourning family has nothing to worry about - the queen's affairs, the official family will naturally have proportions, the upbringing of the prince and princess, the official family is also in the chest, the mourning family has only one sentence, and I hope the official family will remember."

"Why did the queen mother say this, if there is anything, I will tell the queen mother when she is well!" Zhao and Ju Dao.

"No, it doesn't work...... No, it doesn't work...... If you don't confess at this time, you won't have a chance in the future......"

Yang Guizhi muttered while looking at Zhao Heju carefully, and took a few breaths, she said: "The official family is too smart, too smart people, when the water is clear, there is no fish......

Zhao Heju was startled and lowered his head.

"Official...... The mourning family heard the words of the people, saying that the official family had been ignited by Lu Zu when he was young...... Your biological mother, Princess Rong, is in the mansion, and she also worships Lu Zu all the year round...... The official family said that there are really immortals in this world......" When he said this, Yang Guizhi's voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

Zhao Youju hesitated slightly, and then nodded: "Yes, the queen mother will definitely be led by the gods and ascend to ......heaven forever."

Empress Dowager Yang nodded, smiled, and a blush that did not match her face appeared: "Call Cui to ...... That's it, this old man is afraid of the cold, and he called Wei Weng and Zheng Qingzhi...... And Zhao Shanxiang come. ”

On December 16 of the seventh year of Yanhuang, the Empress Dowager Yang Guizhi. Before the ceremony, Yu Wei Weng, Zheng Qingzhi and Zhao Shanxiang, who were good at assisting the Son of Heaven, were buried together with the emperor in their wills, and all the ceremonial martyrs were simplified, and all the money saved in their private treasury was donated to the treasury.

"The queen mother's money is used like this."

Although from the perspective of governing the country with filial piety, Zhao Heju had to serve the queen mother during this time, but he still needed to deal with the country's major policies. Regarding the use of the money left behind by the Empress Dowager, Zhao Youju made an unexpected move, he used the money to build a library in Jinling University, which had just begun to be built, and named it after the Empress Dowager Yang's nickname, called the Empress Dowager Gongsheng Renlie Library.

"Two million guan can come in handy for many purposes - but it is also a wise move for the official family to use it as a library, and the holy name of the queen mother will be broadcast in future generations together with the book of wisdom of the way of the sages."

In Jinling City, two scholars were discussing this matter, the former was Li Chuxiong, and the latter was Chen Anping - these two opponents who once fought in the Heroes Club, but now they have become friends, I have to say, the world is unpredictable.

"But I never thought that I would meet you Chen Yisheng in Jinling City, let alone become a colleague with you......" Li Chuxiong muttered: "And I can also sit and drink with you!" ”

"Then what's unexpected, haha, my generation of men, take the national hatred as personal hatred, and the national hatred as personal hatred, as for the slight differences between you and me, it is just a battle of righteousness!" Chen Anping is still the same as before.

The two of them met in Jinling this time, and they came here to teach. Chen Anping has been studying the works of Chen Zicheng, Chen Ren, Yelu Chucai, Meng Xisheng and others for many years, and he has been quite successful in teaching economics at Jinling University. And Li Chuxiong suffered once in Lin'an, and after making a big deal about the boss, he was ordered by Zhao and Ju to return to his hometown to study.

At this time, it was no longer the time for the two to fight a few years ago, Li Chuxiong's political views gradually changed, his family was originally a big landowner in southern Hunan, and now he has opened two factories, and he is even richer.

"This time, a university was built in Jinling, Xuzhou, and Bianliang, and all the teachers were from Lin'an University. Chen Anping turned the topic back to the matter of the Queen Mother, and he sighed: "This Empress Dowager Yang is not only good at writing and painting, but also attaches great importance to state affairs. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Li Chuxiong was not from Liangzhejiang Passerby, so he was not very familiar with this, so he asked curiously.

"During the Jubilee year, the people of Zhejiang need to pay the birth money for their children, do you know?" Chen Ansheng sighed and said: "The people have children, they have to pay taxes, the people are unwilling to suffer, and even there are drowning babies, the queen mother learned about it, so she admonished the first emperor, and the first emperor was exempted - just this move, there are countless people!" ”

Li Chuxiong heard it all openly: "I actually have to pay the money for the birth of this child, or the current official family is wise, not only does the child not pay the money, but also has a subsidy!" ”
