Chapter 392: Sacrifice to the Heavens
In October, on a crisp autumn day, the king of Chu listed His Majesty's political achievements and exploits in inheriting the great unification one by one according to the auspicious news from Yushan, surpassing the monarchs of previous dynasties, so he asked His Majesty Mount Tai to seal Zen. His Majesty received the note, but there was no reply, but at the same time, the legend about Yushan became more and more fierce among the people, and this auspicious omen almost spread all over the streets and alleys.
On the third day when the king of Chu was ignored, there were ministers who wrote one after another, asking His Majesty to seal the Zen, Emperor Zhou thought about it again and again, agreed to the minister's request, and decided to go to Mount Tai to worship the sky on the first day of the new year, in order to pray for the great Zhou country to be 10,000 years old, and the wind and rain are smooth.
Feng Chan has a long history in the Great Zhou, whenever the balance is prosperous or when the sky descends auspicious, the emperor will personally go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens, in order to show his political achievements and his supreme rule.
In the palace, because Doctor Liu was invited to treat Jiang Shuai's body, and the body of the three princes who cultivated in Fengxi Palace was also healthy, the Queen Mother had no reason to leave him behind, so she asked him to beat a few words and let him go back to his house to recuperate, but at this time, His Majesty came to the will, let him supervise the construction of the altar in front of Mount Tai, and he will go to Mount Tai in these two days.
Hearing this news, the Queen Mother's face was gloomy, and there were some worries in her eyes that could not be ignored, she has always attached importance to His Majesty's decision, and making a decision must have been carefully considered, she is not good at saying anything, she is afraid that if she speaks, Her Majesty may not be able to listen to it now.
"Thanks to the care of the imperial grandmother during this time, the grandson is grateful!" Zhao Ye knelt in front of the Queen Mother, "I haven't felt such warmth and care for a long time, my grandson will never forget it in this life!" ”
"Don't kneel on the ground, get up and talk!" The Queen Mother sighed softly, "Your father is also ruthless, your body is healthy, and I want you to go to Mount Tai!" ”
"That's because the father trusts his grandson, so he entrusts him with a heavy responsibility!" Zhao Ye said, "My grandson will do a good job of what my father has explained!" ”
"It's a long way to go to Mount Tai, you have to take care of yourself!" The Queen Mother said with concern, "By the way, the Ganlin Temple where Qi Guifei is located is not far from Mount Tai, when you go over, you can also go and ask her to say goodbye!" ””=
"Yes!"
"Third child, do you hate the emperor's grandmother?" The Queen Mother paused and asked suddenly.
Zhao Ye paused for a moment, frowned and wondered: "What does the imperial grandmother mean?" The grandson doesn't understand, the imperial grandmother is the grandmother of the grandson, how can the grandson hate the imperial grandmother? ”
"Since you were born, you have been ignored by the mourning family and your father, it stands to reason that you should hate the mourning family and your father!" The queen mother's eyes looked out of the door, although it was well maintained, but the aging of her eyes was inevitable, her eyes had gradually become cloudy, full of the old man's insight into the world and the remorse of the past, "The mourning family didn't understand when they were young, thinking that power was everything, at that time, for power, for your father, the mourning family did a lot of things, these things now think about it, I can't help but feel that my heart was a little harder at that time, maybe I know that I am old, I know that my time is short, I realized what is the most important thing for a person, and now that I think about it, when you were born, the mourning family should have raised you by your side! ”
"How did the imperial grandmother talk about this?" Zhao Ye asked with a roll of his eyes.
"What the mourning family says is what the mourning family wants to say, and I don't know if you can listen to it? The third child, you are also the grandson of the mourning family, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, the mourning family does not favor anyone, the decision made by the mourning family is based on the overall situation, the third child, this capital may not be the best place in the world, after this sacrifice to the sky, you can choose a place you like to stay, Quanzhou is good? Quanzhou is the most beautiful place in the Great Zhou, and the mourning family was extremely envious when they were young! The Queen Mother asked sincerely, but she didn't know if the third child, who had been immersed in power for a long time, would still be able to listen to her words, if she could anticipate this situation, she might have let the third child leave the capital earlier, but unfortunately, there are three words in the world!
Did she really come, did she relent?
"Grandson, thank you for your grandmother's thoughtfulness for your grandson, but this matter is not something that grandson can say, but what his father says!" Zhao Ye smiled faintly, although he didn't show any emotion on his face, but his eyes still hid the disappointment and deeper anger.
"Your father's place, the mourning family went back to tell him!" The Queen Mother said, "Besides, don't blame your second brother for your poisoning, what kind of character he is, we all know it in our hearts, although he has the duty of guarding, but this matter should not be directly related to him, I am afraid that someone deliberately wants to provoke the relationship between your brothers, about this matter, you also have a mirror in your heart, don't let the thief succeed!" ”
"Yes, my grandson knows it in his heart!" Zhao Ye lowered his eyes and said, "Since my father has a will, then my grandson should go back and prepare, I am afraid that I will have to say goodbye to the imperial grandmother, and in the next few months, I will not be able to fulfill my filial piety by the imperial grandmother's side, and I hope that the imperial grandmother will take care of the phoenix body!" The grandson also has a reluctant request, hoping to visit the queen mother, hoping that the emperor's grandmother can be gracious! ”
"Go ahead!" The Queen Mother thought silently for a while, nodded and said.
"Thank you, Grandmother, for your grace!"
Zhao Ye got up from Fengxi Palace and came to Fengqi Palace in a low-key manner, since there is the queen mother's decree, the guards will naturally not stop him, this Fengqi Palace is like another cold palace at the moment, most of the palace people in the palace have been sent out, leaving only a few people to take care of the queen who has gone crazy, since the queen has gone crazy, how can the palace people do their best? Staying in this Fengqi Palace has no future, and this queen can only be left to fend for herself.
Under a dead tree, a woman in a dirty phoenix robe that could no longer be seen in its original color sat by the tree, with her hair disheveled, her body emaciated, and her face pale.
"Queen Mother!" He walked over and squatted beside the queen, and called softly, "Wait a little longer, Erchen, Erchen will take you out one day!" ”
Several palace maids found that the third prince had entered, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but at this time, the queen suddenly hugged his thigh, and shouted bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are here, Your Majesty, you have come to visit the concubine, you are finally here, the concubine is waiting for you so hard!" ”
"Queen Mother!" Zhao Ye closed his eyes and took a deep breath with a sad face, "It's Erchen, I'm the third child!" In the heart of the queen mother, is the father really so important? ”
The queen just hugged him and cried bitterly, and Zhao Ye waited quietly for a while before helping the queen get up and go into the house to sit down.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty decided to seal Zen in Mount Tai, and the sons will go to Mount Tai to build an altar, I don't know if this is a trap set by the father, but this is the only chance for the sons, and the sons will break the kettle and fight once, because the sons have no way out!" Zhao Ye said, "If Erchen loses, I am afraid that I will have to die with my son, if Erchen wins, I will definitely fulfill my previous promise and support the world!" Take care of the queen mother, the son is going to leave first! ”
Just as Zhao Ye was about to leave, the queen suddenly grabbed his clothes, but the original crazy eyes suddenly became cool, with a touch of murderous intent, and whispered in his ear and said quickly: "You just let go and do what you want to do, and when the time comes, there will be a queen mother in the palace to echo!" ”
Zhao Ye's eyes showed a touch of ecstasy, nodded quietly, and kowtowed respectfully to the queen again before getting up to leave.
After staying in the palace for a long time, the news came and went unfavorably, and it was not until he returned to his mansion that Zhao Ye understood what had happened in the capital recently. Jiang Shuai of the Xiaocai Battalion had an accident, the eldest grandson Chi served as the commander of the Xiaocai Battalion, and Zhao Ling went to Qingzhou to investigate the truth of Jiang Shuai's assassination.
The eldest grandson is late? Why did my father trust this eldest grandson so much? Aren't you afraid that he will turn against the water? The degree of trust in this outsider has far exceeded that of his own sons, which is something that Zhao Ye can't figure out.
Could Jiang Shuai's assassination be done by the eldest grandson's family? Zhao Ling went to Qingzhou now, I don't know what he will find out?
There are some plans in the future, it is necessary to meet with Qi Yanggong and plan well, the opportunity may only be this time, if you miss it, I am afraid that there will be nothing!
Zhao Ye asked people to secretly send a letter to Duke Qiyang, before leaving the capital, the two had to meet, fortunately, Duke Qiyang still had the desire to cooperate, and soon let people reply to the news, the two met in the secret room outside the palace of the three princes in the capital, and the two met now, which must be eye-catching, and they must be cautious.
"The third prince is safe and sound, God blesses him, congratulations!" Eldest Sun Hu smiled faintly.
"I'm sorry about the matter of Dingjunhou, but I didn't know about this matter in advance, and he never discussed it with me, except for this matter, there is one more thing, I don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, and I don't have to hide it from Qi Yanggong, this time the poison was made by myself, I am naturally measured, but I suffered a crime in vain, but I didn't get the result I wanted, although the second brother was temporarily under house arrest, but listening to the queen mother's meaning, she never suspected him at all, and the so-called house arrest and dismissal were just for others to see, and after this period of time, it will return to normal! Zhao Ye sneered and said, "Anyway, I don't have the slightest hope for the position of this prince!" But if I just leave the capital like this, and be an idle prince from now on, I am also unwilling, if you are the Duke of Qiyang, who has been fighting for half your life, and now you want to be an idle nobleman, how can you be willing to let go of what you once had? ”
