Chapter 7 Mother's Kindness and Filial Piety
When he woke up again, Zhao Xin's nasal cavity smelled a familiar rouge scent. This fragrance is very light, only a faint aroma of grass, but in this imperial city, it is very unique and very recognizable.
The moment he smelled this fragrance, Zhao Xin's whole person immediately became nervous.
"Mother......" he thought to himself with his eyes closed, "are you here?" ”
In this imperial city, only the future Empress Dowager Cao, the current queen mother, will use this kind of cheap rouge that is really determined.
So, Zhao Xin hesitated in his heart.
"In this life, Niangniang, will you still be my enemy?" Zhao Xin asked softly in his heart.
In his previous life, in the early stage of his reign, his main opponent was the Empress Dowager Cao, who had been promoted to the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother, who is coerced by the name of righteousness and has the support of the forbidden army, is the natural enemy of the emperor who tries to change the law and innovate!
Even if Zhao Xin sought to cooperate with the scholars and civil officials, it would be to no avail.
The Queen Mother holding the barrel of the gun, even if she didn't say a word, just frowned, it was enough to keep even the most determined law-changing officials awake at night, let alone those wall grasses?
Thinking back on his previous life, Zhao Xin suddenly laughed at himself: "Why should I be an enemy of Empress Cao? ”
This question is simply unthinkable.
Because, after more than 30 years of domination, Zhao Xin looked back and pondered carefully when he was lying on the sickbed in his later years, only to realize how outrageous he was wrong!
To put it simply, he made a mistake that would be catastrophic for any Masahara figure—mistaking friend or foe.
He turned his biggest supporter class into an enemy, and then took the class that was supposed to be on guard and vigilance as his support and assistant.
"So, the failure of my previous life is really self-inflicted......" Zhao Xin sighed in his heart.
So he told himself in his heart: "In this life, I must be with your mother's 'mother and son' to deduce a new story of twenty-four filial piety!" ”
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin opened his eyes.
So, he saw a young woman wearing a frugal Yanju crown and a slightly old yellow mulberry suit, sitting in front of his bed with a look of anticipation, her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried, she was about twenty years old, with an ordinary face, and her figure was also ordinary, with no characteristics, but the posture of a middle-aged person, in this imperial city, I am afraid that even ordinary palace maids can not compare, and her temperament is quite atmospheric.
But Zhao Xin didn't dare to be careless at all.
Because he knew very well the ability of the young woman in front of him.
Even if you don't talk about those, just her birth is enough for anyone to dare not be presumptuous in front of her!
This queen mother of the current dynasty is the granddaughter of the school inspector, the privy envoy, the Zhongshu order, and the king of Jiyang County, Cao Wuhui Cao Bin!
It was precisely this identity that allowed her to enter the palace for the first time when she was less than eighteen years old, and she entered the eyes of the then Empress Dowager Baoqing (Empress Dowager Zhang Hui) and appointed her as the queen.
And the Empress Dowager Baoqing's surname is Yang, and she is the daughter of Yang Zhiyan, the Chongyi envoy of Zhenzong and the servant.
Yang Zhiyan has never really been in power in his life, but Yang Zhiyan has a younger brother named Yang Zhixin, who once served as the deputy commander of the Tianwu Army.
Therefore, Cao Wuhui's daughter, as long as she enters the palace, must be the queen!
Just like the queens of Zhao Xin's previous life, just like all the queens in the history of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
The queen and the queen mother are all the forbidden sons of Taizu and Taizong's righteous society brothers and Conglong generals!
This point, even the Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu, who is known as Wu Zetian of the Great Song Dynasty, is no exception - the Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu was expelled from Bianjing in her early years, and even if she was later taken back, she was once excluded and suppressed.
Later, she relied on her own strength and her good friend Yang Cairen (Empress Dowager Zhang Hui) to help her publicize that she was the grandson of Liu Yanqing, the general of the Right Xiaowei of the Later Han Dynasty, the commander of Taizu's Hu Jiedu, and the daughter of Liu Tong, the assassin of Jiazhou.
Otherwise, even if the Empress Dowager Zhang Xianming Su is the reincarnation of Lu Pheasant and Wu Zetian, she will not want to get involved in power.
Because, if the powerful families of the meritorious heroes do not agree, and the families of the meritorious heroes do not agree, the forbidden army will not agree, and if the forbidden army does not agree, the queen mother will have to get out of the house and replace it with a new concubine of the former emperor to listen to the government.
Thinking of these things in his heart, Zhao Xin had a sweet smile on his face, he sat up from the bed, opened his arms, jumped into the arms of Queen Cao in front of the couch, and shouted sweetly: "Niangniang...... Empress...... Niangniang ...... "also rubbed her head affectionately on the latter's chest, selling cuteness."
Where could Queen Cao stop this cute three companies, she disarmed and surrendered on the spot, hugged Zhao Xin in her arms, with some excitement in her happiness, and responded softly: "Hey! Jiro! Mother's here! Mother has been there! ”
Thinking back to the past few days, after Shou Guogong became seriously ill, the queen's tears couldn't help but flow.
Zhao Xin is seriously ill, and the most stressful person in this palace is none other than her, the queen!
The gossip in the streets, the strange eyes inside and outside the court, and ...... The fear of the deceased heir from the depths of her soul, like a bone appendage, followed her like a shadow, keeping her awake at night and unable to sleep.
Every time, as long as she closed her eyes, she would think of the lonely, deserted god cards in the temples of Taizong and Zhenzong.
Empress Shude Yin, Empress Yide Fu, Empress Mingde Li, Empress Zhang Muguo...... Which one is from a lower background than her?
But they were all alone in the temple, and there was no boundless fear in the desert.
And on the side of these gods, the incense of the Empress Dowager Yuande and the Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu, the Empress Dowager Zhang Hui, and the Empress Dowager Zhang Yi is very prosperous, and the Son of Heaven and the courtiers are sacrificed at four o'clock.
In the final analysis, the root cause of all this is that the queens have no heirs, and although the queen mothers may not have heirs, they have raised a son of heaven under their knees!
If the Shouguo Gong in his arms is now unfortunate to die.
Empress Cao didn't know whether the official family could still have a son with the difficulty of the heirs of the Great Song royal family, let alone whether she had the fate to wait for a new prince to be born.
But there is one thing she is extremely sure of - she will definitely not be able to give birth to a prince!
Not even a princess can be born!
Because, since entering the palace, the days when the official family called her to sleep can almost be counted on ten fingers!
So......
Empress Cao hugged the little person in her arms tightly.
She knew that this was her only hope and hope!
"Ancestors bless! Ancestors bless! She firmly grasped Zhao Xin's arm, for fear that as soon as she let go, the little person in her arms would have to lie down on the bed again, close her eyes, don't cry or make trouble, and don't answer no matter how she shouts.
And leaning on Queen Cao's soft chest, Zhao Xin sniffed the familiar aroma of rouge.
The emotion in my heart is like the waves of the sea, one after another.
"In my previous life, I was really too naïve and ignorant...... he sighed leisurely.
I still remember my previous life, at the beginning of the crossing, he was raised and cared for by the three concubines in this imperial city.
His biological mother Miao, the Empress Cao in front of him, and the Empress Wen Chengzhang who looked all over the world but died young.
Among the three, Zhao Xin's biological mother Miao was born the most humble and had the least right to speak.
Secondly, it is this Empress Cao.
And the biggest one is the most favored concubine today, the current Zhang Cairen.
It's a pity that since ancient times, Zhang Cairen, who was so good-looking, became depressed and became ill after losing his beloved daughter in a row, and died at the age of 31.
In the years before that, that Zhang Cairen was very spoiled, and he actually didn't have much time to teach and raise Zhao Xin.
Therefore, in fact, Zhao Xin's upbringing and education are all in charge of Empress Cao.
Zhao Xin's handwriting was taught and written by Queen Cao.
The allusions and systems of the Great Song Dynasty were also explained to him by this Empress Cao one by one.
Even when she ascended the throne, she watched her sit on the supreme throne with her own eyes.
Therefore, in fact, at the beginning, the relationship between Zhao Xin and Empress Cao was extremely close.
Although he is not biological, he is better than many biological mothers and children.
Pity......
All this is buried in the adult world, becoming a victim of the power tilt.
And Zhao Xin finally made his rule extremely unsuccessful, if it weren't for God giving him this chance to come back, he would probably still be lying on the sickbed with regret and tears at this moment.
"In this life, I will never be naïve and naïve anymore!" Holding Queen Cao, Zhao Xin swore in his heart.
And now, he is sure that he is mentally mature, determined, and experienced, and will no longer be led by the nose, and will no longer believe in fairy tales and stories.
So, he remembered the teachings of the leader he saw when he was studying in his previous life: Who is our enemy and who is our friend, this question is the primary question in doing the work of life!
And is Empress Cao an enemy?
No!
Is the noble and meritorious family behind Empress Cao an enemy?
Neither is it!
Are the civil servants and doctors enemies?
Not even more!
Of course, it can also be said that these people are all objects that Zhao Xin needs to solve or conquer!
Because what he wants to do will completely overturn the foundations of these people and their class, and shake the foundation on which they depend!
It's just that the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and things have to be done step by step.
Offend everyone at once? Even the emperor will be removed from power!
With the failures and lessons of his previous life, Zhao Xin's patience now has become extremely long.
Because he knows that he has time.
Just boiling is enough to survive most of the people who are active now.
But will boiling these people to death solve the problem?
Not really!
Only by holding power can we solve problems.
So, how do you hold power?
Regime comes out of the barrel of a gun!
And if you want to master the gun, there is no more suitable medium than Empress Cao.
So, Zhao Xin was in the arms of Queen Cao, smiling more sweetly and cutely.
The red puff, the pink and tender little face, the cute can make people intoxicated!
