Chapter 230: Once a Promise Is Deeper (I)

Day Country.

On the main hall, Emperor Hua's solemn face and eyes slowly swept over the civil and military officials in the hall like a torch.

"Why, wasn't it fierce and full of words just now? Now let you say enough, but all of them are dumb? Emperor Hua's thick voice was clear and loud, shocking everyone's ears.

They looked at me, and I looked at you, and bowed their heads in silence, and no one dared to speak.

Emperor Hua got up from the dragon chair and walked towards the hall, each step extremely slow, but beating their hearts like a drum.

Emperor Hua stopped at the last step, put his hands behind his back, and said in a cold tone: "Han Shoufu, tell me why I can't stand up?"

Han Shoufu looked helpless, and was secretly annoyed with Taiwei Zhang in his heart, if he hadn't provoked His Majesty early in the morning, how could he be directly named? This is good, he left things clean and retreated, but pushed him to the forefront. No one in the hall knew that since half a year ago, His Majesty had bid farewell to the county lord of Wenyin, who had been bidding farewell to his relatives alone, and had accidentally fallen into the deep valley. Although a large army was sent to search, nothing was found, and when the court officials were panicking, His Majesty returned with a scar, and his palms were almost bloody and fleshy. After he came back, his temperament changed greatly, and he was no longer the reckless and uninhibited Li Moxiao of the past.

It turned out that in the early dynasty, Zhang Taiwei made an exception, saying that His Majesty had ascended the throne for nearly a year, but the harem had been vacant, which did not prosper the royal heirs, and was even more detrimental to the country. His Majesty also expanded the harem as soon as possible, multiplied heirs, and revitalized the Sun Kingdom.

There are two daughters in Taiwei Zhang's mansion, with beautiful faces and outstanding talents, all of whom are within the quota of concubines. That Emperor Hua was slow to express his position, and there was not even a little movement.

As soon as Taiwei Zhang's words came out, the courtiers spoke one after another, asking Emperor Hua to issue an order to draft the queen.

After hearing this, Emperor Hua said slowly: "What kind of show!" Isn't the queen I want in the palace? ”

The courtiers were dumbfounded, and in an instant, you said a word, and I said a word, and suddenly the palace was in an uproar.

provoked Emperor Hua to be angry and scolded loudly!

The matter dates back to half a year ago, Emperor Hua brought back a woman and lived in the palace, saying that she was fortunate to rescue her when she fell into the valley, so as to avoid the wilderness.

What is shocking is that Emperor Hua actually gave her the palace to live in, just like the head of the palace!

Everyone was very puzzled, an ordinary mountain woman, she was a blessing that had been cultivated for several lifetimes and saved Emperor Hua who fell into the valley. In return for some gold and silver treasures, wouldn't she weep with gratitude and rejoice! But Emperor Hua attached great importance to this woman, led her to live in the palace, and promised to make her the queen.

At that time, the entire court was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked, unbelievable that these words came from the mouth of Emperor Hua, and they speculated one after another, did Your Majesty run into evil? Or was you bewitched by this woman when you fell into the valley?

But no matter how you look at it, except for the fact that you have to make this mysterious woman the queen, Emperor Hua has nothing abnormal.

Everyone pondered and meditated, and they couldn't understand it!

But they strongly objected, and persuaded Emperor Hua to think twice, the queen's appearance and virtue are related to the foundation of the country, how can she be so hastily sealed?

At that time, Emperor Hua listened to the courtiers' bitter persuasion, and only said: "This matter will be discussed in the future!"

After more than half a year, Emperor Hua still kept the woman to live in the palace, and never mentioned anything about the post-establishment of the palace, but he did not expand the harem.

The courtiers were helpless, so they could only knock on the side and remind Emperor Hua that it was time for the draft. Emperor Hua neither expressed nor agreed to listen to it, and bypassed the topic every time.

No, the Queen Mother, who has always lived in a simple place, sent someone to supervise Emperor Hua's election some time ago, and asked the courtiers to do their best to elect a talented and virtuous queen for Emperor Hua.

Probably unable to escape, this time Emperor Hua made a clear statement, but as soon as the words came out, the courtiers were shocked. Emperor Hua insisted on making that woman the queen, otherwise he would not marry in this life!

This time alarmed the Queen Mother, she learned of Emperor Hua's thoughts, she was furious, and fell ill in a fit of anger.

Emperor Hua stayed in front of the bed without sleep, and the Queen Mother woke up and saw him with an anxious face, his eyes were bloodshot, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

After the queen mother's mood stabilized, she persuaded Emperor Hua with the love of mother and son.

Emperor Hua saw that his mother was haggard, and an illness made her age a lot, so he was ashamed and knelt down, begging his mother to forgive him for his unfilial piety.

The tears that the Queen Mother had just wiped away welled up in her eyes again, she thought that her son had let go of her obsession, and hurriedly leaned over to pull him up, reaching out to caress his thin face. said: "You know that the precipice is reined in, and the queen mother is very relieved to turn back in time."

"The son is not filial!" Emperor Hua insisted on refusing to get up, and muttered: "Please punish the queen mother!"

"You kid, you can change your mistakes, and you are very good." The Queen Mother sighed and said, "How could the Queen Mother bear to punish you? The harem is vacant, which is not good for the country and the people, and you, as the king of a country, should be the royal family to reproduce heirs and a prosperous tribe, so it is not in vain that the queen mother has worked hard for many years. ”

Emperor Hua hung his head gloomily, still kneeling on the ground.

Seeing his sad face, the Queen Mother suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, you are..."

Emperor Hua bowed his head and replied: "My son is not filial, if I can't set up the woman I like, I'd rather be lonely in this life!"

"What?" The Queen Mother's face changed greatly, it turned out that after so many good words and bad persuasions, his mind did not change at all.

The Queen Mother trembled with anger and almost fainted, but Emperor Hua's eyes were quick and he swept over to support her.

The old lady who was waiting for the Queen Mother hurriedly stepped forward to breathe, and after a while, when the Queen Mother eased up, the old lady persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty will accommodate the Queen Mother this time!"

Emperor Hua was silent.

The Queen Mother waved her hand to stop the old lady Needless to say, she knows her son too well, he is a stubborn temper, otherwise she would not have abolished the concubine and concubine, and pretended to be a messenger to go to the Moon Kingdom to find Su Liruo. The Queen Mother eased her mind and asked calmly, "Who is the woman in the palace?"

Emperor Hua glanced up at the Queen Mother, but said nothing.

The Queen Mother looked at her and exclaimed, "Is it her?" She didn't leave? Are you pretending to be false and deceiving the mourners? But put her in the palace and insisted on making her the queen? ”

Emperor Hua shook his head with a lonely expression, and said in a low voice: "No, she has already left the Splendid Garden and is nowhere to be found!"

The Queen Mother glared angrily, grabbed the edge of the bed with her palms, and said sharply: "You are obsessed with her, regardless of etiquette and etiquette, and insist on acting recklessly!" The mourning family doesn't believe it, besides her, who else would you like? "Books.com

Emperor Hua's heart crossed a sudden tingle, and he lowered his head and smiled bitterly: all the persistence and recklessness have passed, and there is someone in her heart, and no one can knock on the door of her heart. Even the last goodbye never gave him a word of advice!

If there was an afterlife, he would have guarded every place she might pass through and meet her. But in this life, he and her may never see each other!

Emperor Hua didn't say a word, and turned around silently, just because his eyes were moist, and he was afraid that he would accidentally slip off, and he didn't want the queen mother to see his fragile side.

When Emperor Hua turned around, he said: "The person I am infatuated with will not have a chance in this life, and the person I promise will definitely abide by it." After that, he resolutely left.

The Queen Mother was stunned, looking at his departing back in a daze, and bowed her head and wept for a long time.

The old lady shook her head and sighed, and stepped forward to comfort: "The Queen Mother is angry, Your Majesty is just confused for a while, and if you think about it, you will naturally follow the Queen Mother's wishes."

"No, his temper is as stubborn as his father's, and he is a deep quagmire of infatuation!" The Queen Mother couldn't help crying loudly anymore.

At this time, Han Shoufu had already cursed Taiwei Zhang in his heart: This topic that had just been calmed down was provoked by Taiwei Zhang with ulterior motives, and even the Queen Mother had nothing to say, so what could he say?

Han Shoufu stubbornly exemplified, took two steps forward, and bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to say anything!"

Taiwei Zhang's eyes sank, and he secretly slandered: Okay, you Han Shoufu, where your duty lies, you should correct Your Majesty's unsure behavior, but you deliberately shirk it, isn't it because Your Majesty has made up your mind and dare not offend!

"I will be true of what you say, and forgive you for your innocence, and say it!" Emperor Hua raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "My queen is to be the mother of the world, and Han Shoufu has the responsibility to solve problems for me. Do you want to die alone and lose your offspring? ”

"Don't dare!" Han Shoufu pounced and knelt down with a shame.

"Don't dare to die!" The courtiers were shocked, and fell to their knees with Han Shoufu.

Seeing this, Taiwei Zhang hurriedly knelt down.

The corners of Emperor Hua's mouth crossed a sneer, and he said coldly: "If you don't dare, why do you stop me from sealing it, what are your intentions?"

"This..."The courtiers looked at each other, and they didn't respond for a while, Your Majesty's ability to fight a rake is simply amazing!

Taiwei Zhang looked left and right, no one answered, sighed secretly, and said boldly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers and others sincerely hope that Your Majesty will seal the country as soon as possible for the sake of the country, how dare you stop it?" It's just that His Majesty is determined to seal a mountain woman of unknown origin as the queen, and the ministers are terrified, this matter has never been done before, if Your Majesty insists on going his own way, will it not make the people of the world criticize our dynasty and lose its color! ”

Emperor Hua's eyes were sharp, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who told you that she is a mountain woman?"

Taiwei Zhang was stunned, bowed his head stupidly, and said in a sneer: "The ministers guess..."

"Bold!" Emperor Hua reprimanded angrily: "You mean to laugh at my stupidity and bring the mountain girl back to the palace to seal the queen?"

"The minister lost his words for a while, and I hope Your Majesty will be gracious." Taiwei Zhang hurriedly fell to the ground, "Even if the minister borrows courage from the sky, he doesn't dare to laugh at His Majesty's decision!" ”

"Oh, so... It's a misunderstanding! Emperor Hua eased his anger, and his tone softened. Get up! ”

Emperor Hua said, strode back to the hall, and sat upright on the seat.

The courtiers got up nervously, and only Han Shoufu was still kneeling in the hall.

"What, what is Han Shoufu's opinion?" Emperor Hua asked indifferently, "Didn't I forgive you for saying that you were not guilty?"

"The minister is ashamed!" Han Shoufu bowed his head and said sincerely: "I can't share the worries and solve problems for Your Majesty, but instead speculate on Your Majesty's intentions, so that Your Majesty is deeply troubled and troubled, and the minister has no face to stand on the palace, so he can only kneel down to apologize to show peace of mind!"

Emperor Hua pulled his lips and scolded in his heart: This old fox! Instead, he saw the wind making the rudder, but when he thought about it, he pushed the boat so smoothly and really saved himself.

Emperor Hua immediately said softly: "Han Shoufu doesn't have to blame himself, it was my momentary negligence that made Zhong Aiqing misunderstand, thinking that I wanted to seal a mountain woman as the queen." Actually, my horse was suddenly frightened..."

The courtiers listened intently to Emperor Hua's account of the thrills and adventures of falling into the valley, especially to hear him explain that a woman fell from the sky to save him from danger, but she herself was seriously injured and almost lost her life. They all sighed that this woman was kind and kind, so loved, and she was indeed a model for women to learn.

Emperor Hua finally sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for her, I would only be afraid that I would be buried in the wilderness and no one would know, it was she who gave me the opportunity to be reborn, if I didn't repay the life-saving benefactor who sacrificed my life, wouldn't I be a ruthless and unrighteous person?"

Taiwei Zhang was about to speak, but Han Shoufu took the lead, and said in a rambling voice: "What Your Majesty said is very true, such a benevolent, righteous and virtuous woman is worthy of a great responsibility and an example for the world."

The courtiers changed their words and echoed Han Shoufu, agreeing with his words.

Emperor Hua's frowning brows finally relaxed, and his eyes glanced at Han Shoufu meaningfully, and said, "If nothing happens, retreat from the dynasty!"

"The minister still has something to do!" Han Shoufu took advantage of Emperor Hua's good mood and simply made everything clear.

"Quasi-play." Emperor Hua looked at Han Shoufu with interest.

"Mr. Zhao has assisted His Majesty for many years, and he has been with him for many years, and he has worked hard and done his best." Han Shoufu said: "Mr. Zhao has been ill since the county lord of Wenyin and his relatives are soft, and it has been half a year since he approved the false case. The minister dared to ask His Majesty to recall Mr. Zhao and continue to provide advice and serve the government of His Majesty. ”

Emperor Hua bowed slightly, and was very satisfied with Han Shoufu's performance today, it seems that this old man is more and more aware of catering to his heart!

In fact, Emperor Hua had his own plans, although Zhao Yue knew that Zhao Zijin was replaced by Su Xiru, but he didn't know that Emperor Hua brought back Zhao Zijin, thinking that from now on, the father and daughter would see each other in the distance.

During this period of time, in order to implement his promise to Zhao Zijin, Emperor Hua bothered to deal with the relationship between the empress dowager and the courtiers, but he really had no time to take care of it, so he obeyed his wishes and approved him to make a false example.

Emperor Hua said: "Okay, I have this intention, then I will bother Han Shoufu to do this matter and invite Mr. back."

"Obey the order!" Han Shoufu got up at this time.

"Retreat!" Emperor Hua left his seat.

The courtiers saluted and sent off, and after the ceremony, they turned their heads to each other and discussed in a low voice what Emperor Hua said, as if they had heard a touching story this morning, no wonder His Majesty insisted on making her the queen.
