Chapter 2 First meeting of the Empress Dowager
It's been five days since I arrived in the Song Dynasty, and in these five days, the queen mother, the queen and the two concubines came to see me when they were fine, and I was very nervous, but in the past few days, I have also learned a lot of rules in the palace, and I know that it is now the seventh year of God's blessing, and I am only seventeen years old now, and it is not me who is in power now, but the empress dowager Gao is hanging the curtain, fortunately, this old lady is about to die, or I will not let her be angry.
The Empress Dowager Gao in history is a very stubborn and old-fashioned, imprisoned old lady, in the past few years when she listened to the government, the Song Dynasty was poor and weak, the bureaucracy was bloated and incompetent to the extent of no return, under their policy, the emphasis on literature and light on military force, ignoring armaments, in her opinion, in addition to reading people are pariahs, in addition to caring for me to almost no use, and the more concerned about it, the more misunderstood, but just heard that she is sick and dying, although she has been in control of the government, the power is in her hands, But her old-fashioned thinking makes her and the group of aristocratic old men not take the army seriously, alas, since you look down on the soldiers, then let me promote the status of the soldiers for you, or our new China's Mao Taizu's sentence is right, it is called "taking power in the barrel of the gun", the wise saying, it just so happens that my body has been adjusted in the past few days, go to see her, explore her limelight, and it can be regarded as doing your filial piety for the unlucky ghost of Zhao Xu before.
"Come on" I'm very used to this kind of life of clothes and raw hands and food to open my mouth, alas, all evil feudalism is really corrosive, but I like hehehehe
"Your Majesty, the slave maid is in" These two people have followed me since childhood, this little eunuch is called Xiaodouzi, and this little palace maid is called Yudie, both of them are only fifteen years old
"What, I want to go and see the Empress Dowager, you two come with me, let's go"
"Yes, Your Majesty"
Then I took these two goods and began to walk in this splendid palace, walking and walking, walking for almost an hour, tired to death, "Hey, why is this pavilion so familiar, did we pass by this pavilion just now?"
"Oh, my emperor, we have all passed by this pavilion eight times" Yudie and Xiaodouzi kept thinking in their hearts, "Your Majesty, you don't know the way" Because I have a good temper, I never lose my temper, and Yudie and Xiaodouzi usually talk to me more casually when no one is around
"Hehe, forget the past, forget the past, lead the way" It's so embarrassing, I blushed a little
In this way, after walking for a short while, I arrived at the Cining Hall where the Empress Dowager lived, and the palace next to it was called Ciming Hall where the Empress Dowager lived, and the Empress and the concubines lived in it were called Renming Hall and Ciyuan Hall.
Walking straight to the Cining Palace, the eunuch on duty saw that I was busy leading a group of eunuchs and palace maids to give me a big salute, "Slave Lin Huai'an knocked to see the emperor, I didn't know that the emperor arrived, I missed the welcome, and I hope the emperor will atone for his sins"
"Get up, how is the illness of the Empress Dowager" I asked Lin Huai'an as I walked straight in
"The Empress Dowager's illness has worsened this morning, she just used some millet porridge, and now she has fallen asleep," Lin Huai'an replied cautiously
"Well, I know, you go down"
walked to the Empress Dowager, sat beside her, held her old hand, and looked at this stubborn old lady, at the peak of her life, how powerful she was, but under the ravages of time, she was just an ordinary old lady.
"Your Majesty, why are you here," the Empress Dowager woke up and said very weakly, and most of the eyes that looked at me still contained kindness and protection
"I'm here to see you, how about you, are you feeling better today?" Although I was very disgusted by her thoughts, but now, she is my grandmother, isn't she?
"Your Majesty, the mourning family's own body, the mourning family, I have my own number, although the imperial doctor doesn't say it, but I already know that I am afraid that I can't do it"
"These quacks in the Tai Hospital, I will send a decree to kill them all"
"The emperor must not, medicine does not die of disease, Buddha is destined to be a person, and the mourning family is limited" The words of the Queen Mother are full of infinite nostalgia for this world, but the old man of time does not seem to have any pity for her
