Chapter 238: Shang Dynasty
At the beginning of the heavy snowfall, the weather in the capital was a little colder, people put on thick cotton jackets and cotton cloaks, and the masters of the rich and noble families all changed into big hats. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
King An's illness became even more serious.
There have already been courtiers who vaguely proposed that it was time to prepare for King An's death.
King An is just nineteen years old this year, and he has no heirs, and although he has been crowned King An, he has not worshiped the temple, and his name has not been on the royal jade, but his posthumous affairs are really difficult.
According to common sense, if King An's name is jade, if he dies of illness, the Ministry of Rites will naturally prepare the things to be used for the funeral in accordance with the rules of the prince, and finally be buried in the royal tomb.
But the problem is that King An's name has not yet been jaded, but he still has the title of the prince, and it is a difficult problem where to choose his mausoleum.
The emperor first reprimanded the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who proposed to start preparing for King An's death, and shed tears of reluctance, "I have no siblings since I was a child, and I finally found the blood of my father, and I have a sibling, King An will be fine, and I will personally go to King An's mansion to visit." ”
As he spoke, he instructed the courtiers to go down to the court and follow him to visit King An's mansion.
Naturally, the courtiers wanted to stop it.
Especially the imperial historians of the Supervisory Yuan," ...... The emperor attaches great importance to brotherhood and affection, and it is a blessing for the subjects of the world, but the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and King An is seriously ill, so it is not suitable to face the king. ”
The emperor was just afraid that Qi Chenjing would play tricks and pretend to be dead like he did in Macheng Mansion last time, and wanted to confirm whether he was really poisoned, and by the way, show his brotherhood in front of the courtiers.
"King Ke'an is my brother, if I don't take a look in person, I won't be at ease."
The imperial historians tried their best to resist, "If the emperor is concerned about King An, he can send the people who serve him to visit King An on behalf of the emperor, which is the same." ”
The emperor didn't really plan to see Qi Chenjing, but when he saw that he had achieved the goal he wanted, he instructed Ding Gang, the chamberlain who served beside him, "You take me to visit King An, pass on my will, and make sure that he can recuperate with peace of mind." ”
and ordered all the ministers to visit King An to show their favor to King An.
Before the next court, the queen mother sent Sun Zhong, the chief attendant of the house, to come over, and the queen mother was very worried about King An's body and wanted to visit King An together.
The emperor was always the first to know the movements of the previous dynasty on the queen mother's side, and although he was dissatisfied, he did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with the faces of the courtiers.
So a group of people went to King An's mansion and saw King An lying on the bed dying.
His face was flushed, as if he was a symptom of a high fever, but his breathing was like nothing, as if he could stop breathing at any time.
In just a few days, King An, who was standing on the court and smiling quietly, was so thin that he had lost his shape, and the whole person seemed to be out of water.
Everyone was a little embarrassed in their hearts, no matter how severe the wind chill was, it wouldn't immediately ask for the name of a healthy man, right?
I'm afraid that King An's illness is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
On behalf of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, Sun Zhong and Ding Gang stepped forward to visit King An and shouted a few times, "Lord, the Queen Mother and the Emperor let you rest in peace." ”
It's a pity that King An, who was lying on the sickbed, was in a daze, unconscious at all, his lips opened slightly, and he shouted indistinctly: "Father, father, I am very uncomfortable." ”
The people who heard it looked at each other, could it be that the rumors in the market were true?
Is King An sick and confused?
Why keep calling my father and the emperor.
Did you really see the emperor?
Sun Zhong and Ding Gang glanced at each other, and then turned their heads away, but they knew in their hearts that it was not appropriate to let these ministers stay here any longer, so they found an excuse to take them out.
It seems that King An is really not good.
On the morning of the second day, the Ministry of Rites officially issued an excerpt and asked for instructions on how to deal with the aftermath of King An.
The emperor shed two tears, was silent for a moment, and said: "In order to choose a mausoleum for King An as soon as possible, the Ministry of Rites began to build and prepare for the funeral of the prince. ”
But he kept silent and didn't mention the matter of King An's jade.
The ministers knew in their hearts that this was to let King An be buried with the etiquette of the prince, but he was not allowed to enter the royal mausoleum.
In the final analysis, the emperor still doesn't agree with the identity of King An in his heart, right?
The ministers had a different opinion in their hearts.
The Ministry of Rites was about to receive the order, when suddenly there was a sharp voice from the inner attendant outside, "The eldest princess of Fuyun is ..... to the court."
"The eldest princess of Fuyun went to the court ....."
"The eldest princess of Fuyun went to the court ......"
The chamberlain's shrill voice came from far and near.
The Linguang Palace, which was used to go to the court, suddenly boiled.
The emperor's face changed when he was sitting high on the dragon chair, and the whole person suddenly stood up from the chair.
When the Great Liang was founded, Emperor Taizu thanked the eldest princess Fuyun for her contribution to the Great Liang, and personally sealed the title, not to mention, but also gave the dragon head crutches, allowing the eldest princess Fuyun to go to the court and participate in the discussion of court politics with the courtiers.
However, since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, the eldest princess Fuyun has been teaching her husband and children at home, and she has hardly participated in court politics.
It is said that the only two times were when there was a major event, and Emperor Taizu ordered the eldest princess Fuyun to go to the court to discuss matters.
Some gray-haired ministers thought excitedly in their hearts, it seems that today they are going to see the eldest princess Fuyun go to the court for the third time.
The eldest princess of Fuyun has the power that Emperor Taizu personally promised to go to the court to discuss matters, but she doesn't come on weekdays, and people ignore this matter.
But when the shrill voice of the chamberlain came into the temple, people invariably remembered it.
is the emperor, although his face is ugly, but he can't stop it, Emperor Taizu's holy decree, if he stops it, it will be disrespectful and unfilial to Emperor Taizu.
Not only could she not stop it, but she also had to watch with a smile as the eldest princess Fuyun, who was on crutches and wearing a heavy red princess-grade costume, stepped into the hall step by step.
"What happened to my aunt and grandmother in court today?" No matter how unhappy he was in his heart, the emperor couldn't show a little, and he had to put on a gentle face as much as possible.
The eldest princess of Fuyun saluted, took out a letter from her arms and presented it with both hands, "The minister asks the emperor to allow King Qi Chenjing to worship the temple, put his name on the royal jade, and enjoy the royal incense forever." ”
The empty Linguang Hall echoed with the words of the eldest princess Fuyun.
The hall fell silent for a moment.
Whether King An's name should be on the jade or not, the courtiers present in this matter all turned this idea in their hearts, but no one dared to bring it up.
The emperor's attitude just now was clear, that is, he didn't want King An to go to the jade, and no one dared to target him head-on.
didn't expect that the first one to be proposed was the eldest princess Fuyun.
In Daliang, the eldest princess of Fuyun is a god-like legend, raising a good flower, with strong financial resources to help Emperor Taizu fight the world, and personally trained the guards, led the troops to the battlefield, several times to save Emperor Taizu in danger, and finally before breaking through the capital, he bent down to marry the Chen family, won the most valuable cooperation force for Emperor Taizu, and captured the capital in one fell swoop.
It can be said that without the eldest princess Fuyun, there would be no establishment of the Great Liang at that time, which is the original words of Emperor Taizu.
Even after more than forty years, no one dares to erase the credit of the eldest princess Fuyun.
After the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, the eldest princess Fuyun rarely cared about the government affairs, even if Emperor Taizu promised her the right to go to the court to discuss matters, she still rarely appeared in front of people.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess Fuyun, who had been silent for more than 40 years, appeared in front of the courtiers for the first time, and what she did was to invite King An to worship the temple and go to the jade.
The people's hearts had different opinions about King An.
The eldest princess of Fuyun is clearly supporting King An, is there a hidden secret that everyone doesn't know?
The emperor secretly hated the bad things of the eldest princess Fuyun in his heart, he had obviously opened his mouth just now, but the eldest princess of Fuyun came to harm him at this moment.
He showed an embarrassed expression, "Grandmother, it's not that I don't agree, I have a sibling with King An, and I really cherish him in my heart, but he is sick like this now, and he really can't sacrifice to the temple, and if he can't sacrifice to the temple, he can't go to the jade, which is not in line with the rules passed down by the emperor's grandfather." ”
What if the eldest princess Fuyun has the right to discuss the matter promised by Emperor Taizu, he can also talk about the rules set by Emperor Taizu.
The eldest princess of Fuyun's face remained unchanged, it seemed that what the emperor said was not a problem, "Jing'er, this child's life is hard, when he was born, he suffered a fire in the palace of Concubine Zhuang, and was taken out of the palace by my daughter Xiangning by mistake, growing up outside these years, and it is also the blessing of Emperor Taizu and the first emperor, so that the royal blood can be recovered. ”
"The emperor also said that it is not easy to be a brother, and I must also hope that King An can recover as soon as possible, right?"
The emperor's face stiffened, and he would hope that he would be healed before he had a ghost.
But the words of the eldest princess Fuyun forced him into a dilemma.
If you don't agree, you just don't want Qi Chenjing to recover as soon as possible, just now he kept saying words of brotherly love, isn't this a slap in the face?
But agreed, he himself just said that Emperor Taizu has rules, you must first sacrifice to the temple before you can go to the jade, Qi Chenjing can't get up when he is sick, how to sacrifice? If he agrees to give him a jade, he is disobedient to Emperor Taizu and disrespectful and unfilial.
The emperor felt a little remorseful in his heart, he shouldn't have taken Emperor Taizu's order just now.
The eldest princess of Fuyun is really an old treacherous and cunning.
The emperor gritted his teeth and put on a sad look, "Grandmother, aren't you embarrassed?" Of course, I am not willing to give up King An, I hope he can recover as soon as possible, but I feel sorry for him, I am still the emperor of Daliang, and I have to think about the world. ”
The words were full of emotion, but they were righteous words.
"For the sake of the stability of the country, I have to bear the reputation of being unfriendly." r1152
