Naturally, the situation in the capital will not spread to Mount Tai so quickly, so at the foot of Mount Tai, it is still peaceful.

Emperor Zhou took the hundred officials who came to seal the Zen, and arrived at the foot of Mount Tai on the evening of the 29th day of the lunar month. The ministers congratulated, and Emperor Zhou enjoyed the sycophants of the ministers with peace of mind.

The three princes have already fallen and waited at the foot of the mountain to welcome Emperor Zhou up the mountain, there is a palace on the mountain, this hundred officials naturally can't live, only people with important official positions are qualified to live on the top of the mountain with His Majesty, and wait for tomorrow morning to participate in the sacrifice to the sky, people who are not enough official positions, only borrow the people's homes at the foot of the mountain, or live in tents, and then climb up the mountain in the early morning tomorrow.

"See Father!" The three princes led everyone to kneel down and greet Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou got down from the carriage, personally helped Zhao Ye up, and praised: "I received your concert on the road, and the errand was done well, and I was not disappointed!" ”

"Erchen is just doing a little bit of effort, mainly because of his father Emperor Long's grace, the surrounding people heard that the mountain is for the sake of sealing Zen, especially enthusiastic to participate, and contribute people and money, so Erchen can rush to complete the altar before the sacrifice to the sky!" Zhao Ye said, "Father has been tired all the way, the mountain has been cleaned up, Father should go up and rest quickly!" The sedan chair has been prepared! ”

"Since I am here to worship the heavens, the most important thing is sincerity, I will climb up in person!" Emperor Zhou said, "By the way, take a look at the scenery of Mount Tai, how Zhong Ling is beautiful, so that the literati and ink scholars in the world are all overwhelmed by it!" ”

Then Emperor Zhou took hundreds of officials to climb Mount Tai in person, although Emperor Zhou was old, but his body bones were very good, he never stopped along the way, he didn't take a breath, and he laughed at the body of the King of Chu is not as good as the original, as for Bai Cheng and other old ministers, Emperor Zhou directly asked them to carry them up the mountain!

The scenery of this Mount Tai is very good, and Emperor Zhou couldn't help but chant a few poems. Climbing to the top of Mount Tai, the eyes are shrouded in clouds and mist, overlooking the great mountains and rivers, Emperor Zhou can't help but feel proud in his heart.

It's his world! His country!

"The spirit of Mount Tai, the majesty, the magnificence, the magnificence, the end of the rui, is really worthy of the name!" Emperor Zhou said with emotion, "This is my country, the country of our Zhao family!" Whether it is Chen Guo or Dog Rong Nanban, it is impossible to step into our territory! I want the people of the Great Zhou to live and work in peace and contentment, I want the wind and rain to be smooth in this world, and I want the national strength of the Great Zhou to dominate with all countries! ”

"Duke Qi Yang, what do you think of this scenery?" Emperor Zhou asked suddenly.

The white beard of the eldest grandson was blown by the wind on the mountain, and he smiled and said: "The creation of Zhong Shenxiu makes people feel proud in their hearts!" ”

The eldest grandson didn't say much, Emperor Zhou just glanced at him lightly, didn't ask more, and asked his two sons what they thought.

Zhao Ye and Zhao Yan answered, Emperor Zhou was very satisfied, Zhao Ling and Zhao Qian gaged on the side, making him laugh heartily, and the ministers also laughed together.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that the three princes arranged for everyone to have a meal together, and everyone was tired of traveling and driving, and after eating, Emperor Zhou let everyone go to rest!

In the evening, the carriage that went to pick up Qi Guifei arrived, and Qi Guifei was invited to Emperor Zhou's dormitory after going up the mountain.

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty!" Qi Guifei knelt down and saluted.

Emperor Zhou hurriedly helped his concubine up, and said softly: "Get up quickly, I've wronged you these days!" ”

In the temple full of aura, away from worries, Qi Guifei was even younger than when she left the capital. Emperor Zhou was not a person who was lazy about women, and he was slightly flustered, and he had been married to Concubine Qi for more than 20 years, but he really respected a concubine in his heart, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes.

"The concubine never felt any grievances!" Qi Guifei said, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to do the errand assigned by Your Majesty and disappoint Your Majesty!" ”

"You think too much about the concubine!" Emperor Zhou held Qi Guifei's hand and said, "You have done a very good job on this errand, I absolutely trust you, and I know that you will definitely be able to complete the things I gave you, as expected, you did not disappoint me, I am very satisfied!" When you return to Beijing, I will reward you separately! ”

Qi Guifei lowered her eyes and smiled faintly and said: "The concubine just did what she had to do, but although the concubine was in the Ganlin Temple, she occasionally knew about the affairs of the capital, and when she heard that Yan'er had been under house arrest for a period of time, the concubine was very worried in her heart, but she didn't want to ask, but fortunately, His Majesty forgave him, and the concubine was finally able to rest assured!" ”

"I can't forgive him, he didn't do anything wrong!" Emperor Zhou said, "That's it, the original thing is over!" You just need to remember that Yan'er is my favorite son, and my promise to you will not change, and after this son returns to Beijing, Yan'er will be my prince! ”

Qi Guifei didn't show a very surprised look, and said with a faint smile: "Actually, whether he is the prince or not, as a mother, as long as he can be safe, he will be content!" ”

"I've gone and called him!" Emperor Zhou said, "Your mother and son may not have seen each other for a long time, so you can get together later!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After a while, I saw Concubine Yun entering with ginseng tea, Emperor Zhou came to Mount Tai this time, and only brought Concubine Yun to serve with him.

"I've seen Sister Guifei!" Concubine Yun greeted Concubine Qi, and her eyebrows were very deferential, "Your Majesty should take ginseng soup!" ”

"You go down to rest first, and leave this matter to the concubine!" Emperor Zhou said lightly.

"Yes!" Concubine Yun handed over the decoction to Concubine Qi and then retreated.

"The concubine also heard about Concubine Yun's sister on the mountain, a good child, it's a pity...... But my sister is still young, Your Majesty is still heroic, and there will be children! Concubine Qi sighed.

"It's all fate!" Emperor Zhou didn't seem to be very interested in this topic, and said lightly.

Concubine Qi personally tasted the medicine, and after a while, she waited for Emperor Zhou to drink the medicine, and asked, "Your Majesty has not been in good health recently?" But you are still so worried that you can't sleep at night? ”

"Don't you know, it's an old problem!" Emperor Zhou smiled and said.

"Your Majesty's illness, half of it is because of the trouble of the eldest grandson's family, this time after the eldest grandson's family is lifted, Your Majesty should always be able to sleep well!" Qi Guifei said.

Emperor Zhou smiled: "The so-called high place is not cold, I have never slept well since I ascended to this throne!" You have to worry about this country, you are afraid of embarrassing your ancestors, you have to worry about the stability of the throne, and you are afraid that someone is plotting against you! I'm afraid that some people will guess my thoughts, I'm afraid that the people around me won't tell me the truth because they are afraid of me, I'm afraid that the people around me are people who have something to ask for but don't have sincerity, I am the Ninety-Five, but I am also a mortal, I will be tired and afraid! ”

"The people of this Great Zhou live and work in peace and contentment, the society is stable, now it is a prosperous age, Your Majesty is an emperor through the ages, the people's hearts, everyone supports, after this time, I am afraid that no one will dare to have a rebellious heart and no rebellious strength, this Great Zhou is firmly nested in the hands of Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be afraid of what!" Concubine Qi fed Emperor Zhou medicine and persuaded softly.

"Am I really what my heart wants? Why do my courtiers and sons oppose me? Emperor Zhou took a sip of the medicine, glanced at Concubine Qi, and asked, "What Concubine Guifei said is true?" Is the concubine really sincere? Ten years ago, don't you have the slightest grudge against me? You and I have been married for more than 20 years, and I can only hear the truth from you now! ”

"Your Majesty is the husband of the concubine and the father of the concubine's son, it is impossible for the concubine not to complain about His Majesty's ruthlessness, but she also understands Your Majesty's helplessness!" Qi Guifei said, "More than 20 years of husband and wife, Your Majesty can be regarded as the life of the concubine, no matter what happened, the concubine will definitely stand by Your Majesty's side!" ”

Her eyes drooped, and she wanted to ask something, but she felt that now was not the time, so she swallowed the words.

After a while, Zhao Yan entered to greet Emperor Zhou, looked at Qi Guifei eagerly and said, "Mother! The mother is fine! ”

"Mother is fine!" Qi Guifei looked at her son kindly, her eyes were full of relief, "You married a good daughter-in-law, even if your mother is not in the capital, you still have a letter every two days, even if it is your most difficult months, don't forget to greet me, you are not allowed to be sorry for her!" ”

"Why did the mother concubine talk about this, she is good, the son knows it!" Zhao Yan said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, but I feel that my mother is a lot younger, and the years in the mountains are quiet, which really has the effect of raising people, so that Erchen can't help but want to live with my mother in Ganlin Temple!" ”

"What do you live, your mother is going back to Beijing with us!" Emperor Zhou said lightly.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile and said: "Father has forgiven his mother, it's so good, Jingyun has been thinking about his mother!" ”

"How's it going out there?" Emperor Zhou waved his hand, no longer drank the medicine, but turned his head to look at Zhao Yan and asked solemnly.

"It's almost there!" Zhao Yan said, "A few of them are now honestly staying in their own rooms, but the people who really lead the troops are still on the road under the pretext, and they don't dare to go up the mountain, even if they are detained on the mountain, it will not help, but the eldest grandson Hu is still on the mountain, but I am afraid that the people under the mountain will not dare to act rashly!" ”

"Hmm!" Emperor Zhou nodded lightly, "How's the arrangement?" ”

"Everything is going according to the plan discussed with my father on the way, and a few sons have adjusted according to the actual situation, and there is no problem with the guards on this mountain!" Zhao Yan said, "Father doesn't have to worry! ”

"You do things, I can rest assured!" Emperor Zhou paused and asked, "What do you think of your brother?" ”

"The third?" Zhao Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a while and said, "He was confused for a while......

"Do you think your brother should stay?" Emperor Zhou looked at Zhao Yan directly and asked.
