This Mrs. Rongguo has always been taken care of by the imperial doctor, if she is just unwell, it is impossible for Wu Meiniang to send someone to find Lu Shigua, this situation must be very critical, it is in the case of the imperial history that Wu Meiniang asked people to invite Lu Shigua.

But Lu Shigua is just a Lang Zhong with outstanding medical skills, not an immortal, he can help Li Hong regulate his body, but it is impossible to save the ninety-year-old Mrs. Rongguo.

Three days later, Mrs. Rongguo died at the age of ninety.

This was a very, very long life in ancient times.

This Mrs. Rongguo, although she has not done anything earth-shattering, she is also a legend.

Because of her belief in Buddhism, she got married in her forties, but she was still able to give birth to three daughters, not to mention that she was in her forties and could make Wu Shi Tong so passionate about her, these forty-year-old mothers are all advanced maternal age in the 21st century, difficult to give birth to, and very dangerous, but she gave birth to three directly, there is no problem, easily, when she was seventy or eighty years old, she was still running around for Wu Meiniang, and her health was very good, it can be seen that the genes of the Yang family are a little perverted, and there are longevity genes, but unfortunately Li Hong is like Li Zhi, This is more tragic.

Liangyi Palace.

"Zhang Shizhong, you go and arrange it, and order the civil and military officials to go to Mrs. Rongguo's mansion to pay tribute, and strike the dynasty for seven days, and strike the market for seven days."

Li Zhi commanded with a slightly tired expression.

Zhang Wenguan arched his hand and said: "Weichen obeys." ”

"Your Majesty."

Han Yi said suddenly: "This is a seven-day strike, please let Your Majesty decide as appropriate!" ”

Li Zhi looked at him in surprise.

When people with relatively high status in the royal family die, they all have to boycott the dynasty and the market, Wu Meiniang's status is very high now, and her identity is very special, Mrs. Rongguo's status is naturally not low, and her mother-in-law dies, she must boycott the market.

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, now is not as good as before, the sudden strike for seven days, this businessman and the people are unprepared, it may cause them to lose a lot of money, and even cause everyone's resentment, which is not very good for Mrs. Rongguo, the minister suggested closing the Grand Theater, amusement parks and other entertainment venues, try not to boycott the market." ”

In the past, there were not many people going to visit the east and west cities, and they couldn't stop it, but now, Chang'an is such a big economy, and there are many foreign businessmen, and the sudden market strike for seven days, the loss is huge, so it is better to use the money to repair the tomb.

Li Zhi also reacted, this time is different from the past, it is better to strike the market than to boycott the farmers, nodded and said: "Just follow what you say." As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Wenguan again.

Zhang Wenguan nodded and said, "The old minister knows." ”

Out of the Liangyi Palace, Zhang Wenguan whispered to Hao Chujun on the side: "This Mrs. Rongguo has no children under her knees, who will guard her filial piety?" ”

A look of surprise flashed in Hao Chujun's eyes, and then he muttered a little, and said: "The relationship between the queen and Mrs. Rongguo's mother and daughter is very good, and the queen advocated filial piety for her mother, will the queen keep filial piety for Mrs. Rongguo?" ”

Zhang Wen said: "But if the queen keeps filial piety, who will preside over government affairs?" ”

Hao Chujun said: "Now the prince's health seems to be much better. ”

The two looked at each other, and everything was silent.

A woman who has been married, under normal circumstances, does not need to be filial piety for her parents, not to mention that the other party is still the queen, not to mention government affairs, this queen has to keep filial piety, who will manage the harem.

They are actually not a matter of filial piety, but a problem of the prince, the queen came out to preside over government affairs, it is a special situation, the ministers of the court and the central government did not say that this is a long-term solution, just because the emperor and the prince are not in good health, Wu Meiniang came out to preside over government affairs, the situation is very special. Before that crisis, when Wu Meiniang was at her peak, she was just standing behind and manipulating, at most she put forward some policies, not saying that she directly presided over government affairs, mainly Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong did it, these are two different things.

It's just that Wu Meiniang presided over government affairs before, the court and the central government were very stable, and the country was relatively stable, Li Zhi didn't speak, and the ministers naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to propose to Li Zhi.

But with the death of Mrs. Rongguo, it is impossible for Wu Meiniang to come out to preside over government affairs immediately for the time being, Zhang Wenguan and they feel that this is an opportunity, and it is time to return to orthodoxy.

However, the two of them didn't know that Han Yi had been behind them, silently watching them, with a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.

Li Zhi's edict was soon issued, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had to go to the mourning, and the court was boycotted for seven days, and entertainment venues such as Qinglou were closed for seven days.

The ministers of civil and military affairs rushed to the palace of Mrs. Rongguo to mourn.

Han Yi was not in a hurry to join in the fun, he still discussed the project on the research and development of the steam engine with those Jiupin academicians in the Sixth Academy of Sages during the day, and it was not until after dinner that it was already dark that he went to Mrs. Rongguo's mansion.

A group of old bald donkeys in the courtyard are doing it, Mrs. Rongguo is a faithful Buddhist, the house is still crying, all of them are handsome men and beauties, this Mrs. Rongguo is not a person of Dexin Gonglong, but she is very protective of the short, especially the children of the Yang family, the Helan family, and the Guo family, they are trying their best to protect, and the people kneeling here are all the children of these three families, they are deeply cared for by Mrs. Rongguo, and it is really sad from the bottom of my heart.

In fact, it stands to reason that Han Yi should be the first batch and the second batch to arrive, this is still polite, but no one cares that he came so late, after all, he and Wu Meiniang once fought to the death, and there was almost no intersection with Mrs. Rongguo, purely because he was ordered to come to worship.

Han Yi really didn't come with any sincerity, he was coming to see Wu Meiniang.

Of course, Wu Meiniang would not kneel in front of the coffin, she was sitting in the back hall.

"Wechen has seen the queen."

"Hmm."

Wu Meiniang just responded softly.

Han Yi raised his head and saw Wu Meiniang dressed in sackcloth, her eyes were red, and her face was haggard, he had never seen Wu Meiniang in this state, but it didn't make people feel pitiful, but it gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

"The queen also asks for condolences and protect her body!"

Han Yi said again.

Wu Meiniang glanced at him at this time, paused, and suddenly ordered left and right: "You wait outside first." ”

"Yes."

The palace ladies on both sides saluted, and then retreated.

Wu Meiniang stretched out her hand and said, "Please take a seat." ”

"Thank you."

Han Yi sat down and asked, "Your Majesty is going back to the palace?" ”

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "You came so late, you shouldn't have come to pay homage to my mother." There was a hint of unhappiness in his tone.

Depend on! To put it so bluntly. Han Yi said: "Of course it is......." ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wu Meiniang said: "What's the matter, just say it directly, I'm not in the mood to guess a riddle with you today." ”

Han Yi smiled awkwardly, and said: "The queen still remembers that in the queen's new policy, there was a provision for filial piety for mothers. ”

Wu Meiniang frowned and looked at Han Yi.

Han Yi said: "Shouldn't the queen lead by example? ”

Wu Meiniang groaned for a moment and said, "Is it Zhang Wenguan who has any moves on them?" ”

What a clever woman! Han Yi said: "No matter what they think in their hearts, the queen should stay here at this time, wait for Mrs. Rongguo, leave behind all the government affairs, and wait for Your Majesty to invite the queen, and then ask Your Majesty to give up presiding over government affairs and ask for filial piety for her mother." ”

Wu Meiniang frowned slightly, and said, "Why?" ”

Han Yi said: "Because Your Majesty asked the queen to come out to preside over government affairs, he didn't really want the queen to be in power, all of this is for the prince, everything Your Majesty is doing now is also for the prince, this will never change, this is also a matter of course, and I believe that Your Majesty also hopes that the queen will do the same." And the queen you and Mrs. Rongguo's mother-daughter relationship is very deep, Your Majesty is very clear, if the queen still wants to preside over government affairs in the case of losing such a close relative, it proves that the queen, your desire for power has exceeded the feelings for your loved ones, which is what Your Majesty is afraid of, and it is also what the minister is afraid of. In addition, Zhang Wenguan and they will definitely think that let the prince come out to preside over government affairs, they also want to assist the prince, not the queen, the queen at this time, you propose to return to your majesty, or the prince, it is not only in line with Your Majesty's mind, but also in line with the minister's thoughts. ”

Wu Meiniang's beautiful eyes narrowed, and said: "In other words, do you think that the more I do this, the more Your Majesty will be at ease with me and leave government affairs to me?" ”

Han Yi shook his head and said: "I'm not sure at all, now that the prince's physical condition is recovering very well, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks in her heart, but the queen must understand that this is a matter of course, and Your Majesty will eventually hand over power to the prince." Of course, it is possible for His Majesty to retain the Empress, after all, His Majesty is very satisfied with the current situation, and no one can endanger His Majesty's imperial power. ”

Wu Meiniang was puzzled: "Then I don't understand!" ”

Han Yi said in a low voice: "The Khitan side is going very well, there may be a big event soon, and there will be a lot of things at that time, and it will be difficult for the prince to bear this burden, even if Your Majesty now promises to let the queen keep your filial piety, but soon Your Majesty will re-enable the queen, however, this can make Your Majesty and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty rest assured that the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages." ”

Wu Meiniang was silent for a long time, then suddenly sneered and said, "Thank you so much for coming here to talk to me about this today." ”

It seems that this incident has hit her harder than I imagined. Han Yi sighed for a moment and sighed: "I really don't know what mood to comfort the queen, probably because I didn't have a chance to try the queen's grief at this time." ”

Wu Meiniang looked at him with a hint of doubt.

Han Yi sighed and said: "My mother died after giving birth to me, I still don't know what my mother looks like, and my father died on the day I got married, I was also seriously injured at the time, when I woke up, I didn't have time to grieve for my father's death, the creditor had already come to the door, and the heavy rain washed away my farmland, I was almost in a desperate situation at that time, at that time I even hoped that the lightning would also chop me to death, a hundred." Therefore, it is impossible for me to think of the queen like this, sitting here and quietly recalling the picture of getting along with my father, I must work hard to make money, otherwise, I may become a slave, and my wife ....... ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Is it difficult for you to make money?" ”

"Not now, but absolutely yes then, before that, I didn't even do farm work, I was completely dependent on my father, which was equivalent to a waste."

After a pause, Han Yi suddenly asked, "Does the queen know how I earned money to pay off my debts?" ”

Wu Meiniang handed over two inquiring glances.

Han Yi said: "Using a dog, I cheated the consistent money from Feixue's hands, and then I paid off the debt, but since then, I have been running around buying and selling, abducting and cheating, and I have done everything, and my skills were also exercised at that time, so I don't have time to grieve at all, but I believe that this is what my father wants to see, carry this family, and be a man who stands up to the sky." I don't think parents want their children to kneel at their graves and cry for three years, because parents actually want their children to be well and well.

My father was a father and a mother, and he brought me up, and I was his everything, if he looked at me in the world, did you say that he wanted me to grieve too much and be forced to commit suicide by the landlord, or that we would be slaves and maids for others, or would it be like now? It's not that I'm making excuses for myself, but I do think that my hard work at that time to earn money, marry a wife and have children is the greatest filial piety to my father. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again and said: "In fact, what I regret the most is that before my father's death, I didn't help him, didn't let him live a good life, this is also the biggest regret in my life, how I hope that I can be like the queen, guard my mother every day, do my best to let my mother live a good life, not let her be wronged at all, and be able to chat with my parents when I am fine, and guard my parents before they die, and give my parents the greatest comfort, It's painful, but I think it's a very good memory. It's a pity that I can't make up for this regret, even though I am now the prime minister, even though my family has a lot of money. ”

Wu Meiniang had been listening quietly, and at the same time recalling the picture of getting along with Mrs. Rongguo, gradually, her eyes became a little moist, flashing with tears, and after a while, she looked at Han Yi and said movingly: "Thank you." ”

Han Yi shrugged and said: "No thanks, in fact, I just want to express my envy, jealousy and hatred, in fact, you are very right, I didn't come to pay tribute with sincerity, and I don't want to comfort you anything, because you are already too happy, and Mrs. Rongguo, I believe she has no regrets in this life, after all, she is fortunate to see her daughter become the queen, as a mother, how proud she is, Mrs. Rongguo will definitely smile Jiuquan, but my father does not have the blessing to see his son become the prime minister, It is cruel for me to comfort such a happy daughter of yours with such a miserable son. ”

Wu Meiniang shook her head with a smile, but her eyes were full of gratitude.

Han Yi is not bad at all, compared to many people, she is already very happy, and Mrs. Rongguo is also the happiest mother in the world, how can she ask for more?
