Debt repayment (8)

Rong Yao didn't know how the little son of the Sun family, who died early due to illness, became the adopted son of the imperial merchant Beishen.

She only knows the first half: how the little son of the Sun family died young.

In the Spring Festival of the ninth year of Jianhe, after she got the little boy's suggestion, she was determined to be down-to-earth, and later took the initiative to go to the Sun family's embroidery workshop to help, instead of surrounding the little boy all day long, and the little boy's attitude towards her was also much more polite.

Little by little, she followed the embroidery girls of the Sun family to learn to split silk and hold needles, and her heart gradually settled down.

For people like her, if they have a skill, they have a way to live.

And so it was another year.

During the Spring Festival of the tenth year of Jianhe, she was still struggling with whether to give a New Year's gift to the little boy and what to give, but the Sun family suddenly became busy.

In other words, the whole Huzhou is busy.

This unusual busyness starts with Wu Wangfu.

Ten years ago, King Wu was killed by a rod for arguing about the tomb of Emperor Zhao, and when everyone in Wu Wangfu listened to the fall, Princess Wu had a bad birth, both mother and son died, and King Wu's lineage was cut off.

Soon after the death of Princess Wu, Empress Dowager Xiao issued a decree, she selected a young son from the side branch of King Wu as the successor King Wu, and at the same time, because of the fault of the previous King Wu, the fief of King Wu was changed from Qiantang Mansion to Jiangling Mansion in Jing County.

Jing Chu is far less wealthy than Jiangnan, but the successor King Wu got the title and fief out of thin air, and he was overjoyed and grateful to Empress Dowager Xiao.

Cutting King Wu and collecting money, what the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to do but did not do, Empress Dowager Xiao did it with such a weight.

Jingjun has many lakes and fields, and lotus leaves are fields.

At the Lantern Festival Palace banquet in the tenth year of Jianhe, Empress Dowager Xiao felt very good after using the lotus root powder lotus seed soup paid tribute by King Wu, first persuaded the emperor to also taste it, and then thanked King Wu for his sincerity, and sent a decree to summon King Wu to Beijing to meet him.

Lotus seeds are bitter in their hearts.

The poor son is bitter in his heart.

What Empress Dowager Xiao wants the emperor to taste is not lotus seeds, but her hard work.

When the first emperor died, the current emperor was only twelve years old, and the Empress Dowager Xiao not only had to listen to the government, but also personally taught the emperor, and worked hard.

The emperor at that time was also very deferential and reasonable.

The eyes of everyone in the world are staring at him, his biological mother said to him that he wants to be grateful to the Empress Dowager Xiao, and his grandmother told him to beware of the Empress Dowager Xiao......

The boy grows into an angry emperor in tears.

In the third year of Jianhe, the little emperor rebelled against the Empress Dowager Xiao for the first time and refused to marry the daughter of the Xiao family.

Perhaps he did not want Shaw to gain further power, or perhaps he was just like every ordinary fifteen-year-old boy who did not want to marry a wife he did not like.

Empress Dowager Xiao was not arbitrary in political affairs, on the contrary, she was very happy to listen to and adopt different opinions, but she was very persistent in the matter of the post-establishment of the post.

Empress Dowager Xiao's life has been up and down, from the granddaughter of Shoufu to the concubine of King Duan and then to the queen mother, if there are any shortcomings in her life, it is probably that she did not marry the first emperor as a wife.

No matter how much she has, she can't go back in time, eight sedan chairs, ten miles of red makeup, and marry into Duanwang's Mansion in a beautiful manner.

Because of the establishment, the emperor and the Empress Dowager Xiao were in a stalemate for three years.

Probably because he is a son on one side and a benefactor on the other, the Empress Dowager Jane, who is sandwiched in the middle, will inevitably be worried and sick.

In the end, the biological mother was more important than the adoptive mother, and the emperor compromised.

In the sixth year of Jianhe, the emperor married the daughter of the Xiao family, and on the day of the wedding, he respectfully asked the Empress Dowager Xiao to return to power to support her life.

The emperor's sentence of "returning to power" has many plans behind it.

After all, although the Empress Dowager Xiao has been in charge for the past six years, in the eyes of many scholars, women's rule is not a long-term solution after all.

The emperor looked panicked, but the Empress Dowager Xiao smiled lightly: "The emperor's heir is important, the emperor is relieved, there is a mourning family guarding this country for you!" ”

is greedy for power, so it is pretended to be the emperor's heir and tireless.

It's irrefutable.

Isn't the royal heir heavy?

Of course, the most important thing!

The courtiers of the imperial party could only helplessly hope that the emperor would get the dragon son as soon as possible.

The emperor suddenly slackened his mind, no longer fought with the Empress Dowager Xiao, and had no time to pay attention to the beauties of the Six Palaces, and cultivated the Tao wholeheartedly......

After the emperor cultivated the Tao for two years and reached the age of the crown, the people were boiling, and the Empress Dowager Xiao finally returned to power.

At the beginning of Empress Dowager Xiao's return to power, the courtiers' minds were still very active, the Xiao Party wanted to plan for self-protection, and the Imperial Party was full of ambition, but in the end, all the plans failed.

After Empress Dowager Xiao returned to power, the emperor did not go to court......

Of course, not going to the court does not mean not being a councilor, the emperor will approve the folds, and occasionally summon the elders or subordinates, but not to the court......

The emperor did not go to court, which is really unprecedented and incredible.

How could the emperor not go to court?

However, although this matter was very strange, the courtiers could only hand over the folds again and again, and persuaded them bitterly, and the people did not dare to discuss it.

The son can't help it, and the Empress Dowager Xiao can't control the emperor anymore.

This is only ten years after Jianhe, and the Empress Dowager Xiao was eating lotus root powder lotus seed soup and remembered King Wu of Jiangling.

The emperor did not want to be controlled by her......

It's not impossible to change the service......

Horizontally and vertically, they are not her sons. Which son of the Li family sits on the dragon chair, it makes no difference to her.

Then King Wu was ecstatic after receiving Yi's decree, he thought that ten years ago, because of the words of the Empress Dowager Xiao, he changed from an inconspicuous young son of a side branch to the king of Wu, and he knew what he would do this time?

Empress Dowager Xiao likes to be obedient.

King Wu couldn't be more obedient.

Before he was summoned to Beijing, he made a special detour to Huzhou, planning to personally choose some silk for the Empress Dowager Xiao and talk about filial piety.

The twists and turns here are the reasons why the silk merchants in Huzhou were busy in the first month of the tenth year of Jianhe.

No matter what kind of creation King Wu will have in the end......

Silk, there must be no mistakes.

The little son of the Sun family was infected at that time.

The little boy's illness came quickly and violently, and the famous doctors from other places couldn't catch up for a while, and everyone was helpless.

Rong Yao could only stay in front of the little boy's couch every day, wipe his sweat, feed him water or something, and do his best.

In just a few days, the little boy was incurable, and the doctors in Huzhou refused to prescribe any more prescriptions, but tactfully persuaded Mrs. Sun to resign herself to fate and prepare for the future.

Mrs. Sun was so angry that the healers slipped away before she had a seizure.

That night, although Mrs. Sun was heartbroken, the people of Sun Mansion still began to prepare for the funeral, after all, King Wu and his party were about to arrive, if the funeral was not done well, and they collided with the nobles, I don't know what kind of disaster would happen.

Rong Yao stayed alone in front of the drowsy little boy's couch, and there was always a sense of unreality in his heart.

She even hopes to give her regained Yang Shou to the little son.

She is such a person, she doesn't understand emotions, she doesn't have any talents, and there is no point in living.

If you change to a little son, you will definitely have a wonderful life.

When Mrs. Sun came to see Xiao Gongzi, Rong Yao asked if she would consider inviting a master with advanced skills, and said that she was willing to sacrifice if necessary.

Mrs. Sun only thought that Rong Yao was talking nonsense, and didn't pay attention to it, she solemnly gave Rong Yao a bottle of medicine: "Those quacks all said that Brother Heng was incurable, I categorically don't believe it, this is the secret medicine I finally begged for, you feed Brother Heng immediately, I have to go to the embroidery workshop to see ......"

Mrs. Sun left in a hurry, still muttering, "No one wants to take the opportunity to steal my family's business!" ”

Rong Yao held the medicine bottle, a little at a loss.

What kind of medicine is this? Where did it come from?

Mrs. Sun didn't explain anything to her.

The medicine should not be taken indiscriminately.

Although the little boy is half dead, he can't be fed medicine at will, right?

However, Mrs. Sun is the mother of the little boy, and she will definitely not harm the little son, if she delays the time to take the medicine because she hesitates, it will be a bad thing.

Rong Yao was extremely embarrassed.
