Chapter 188: Before the Storm (2)
Shen Yan had moved the archives and living notes to the Qingsi Hall since that day, and she began to look through them every day as soon as she returned to the Qingsi Palace.
The records of more than 50 years are cumbersome and complicated, especially when encountering major annual festivals, and they are written a lot. When it comes to etiquette, it's another bunch.
Real red tape.
Coming out of the Feiling Palace, Shen Yan had nowhere to go, so he went straight back to the Qingsi Hall and plunged into the study.
"Your Highness goes to the study as soon as you come back these days, and you don't like to laugh and play as much as before."
Feng Yan watched Shen Yan enter the study and came to the door with a click, tilted his head with some emotion and said to Xiaoxing.
"Your Highness is not an ordinary emperor now, she is in charge of the government on her behalf, and she has carried too heavy a burden on her shoulders."
Xiao Xing watched Shen Yan change from a person covered in thorns to deep and thoughtful, and finally got out of the palace and spent a few days of casual life by Xu Jin's side, but the national funeral completely tied her to the palace!
Watching her work hard every day, Xiaoxing could only secretly feel distressed but couldn't help her.
"By the way, Sister Hongxiu said that she entered the palace today. I'll pick her up at the door in a moment. ”
Xiaoxing was in a trance for a moment, and said with a smile: "You can do these things yourself, Your Highness has me here to take care of you." ”
"Thank you, sister."
Feng Fang smiled sweetly, and then turned to leave.
……
Shen Yan sat in the middle of a pile of files and looked at the records in his hand, his eyes sinking more and more.
She has now turned to the record of the year Kang He was born.
Kang He is the queen's concubine, and when she was born, the sky was shining, the emperor was overjoyed, and he pardoned the world, giving this little emperor enough honor.
The Shanggong Bureau has detailed records of the Chinese costumes and jewelry used by the emperor to baptize the three ceremonies, which can only be described as extravagant at a glance.
Kang He was born to receive such grace, all thanks to the queen. The emperor and queen have a couple in their lives, and Kang He is the only daughter of the emperor, so she naturally has a transcendent status.
Shen Yan's subordinates flipped through the files, and finally realized that they had forgotten the first queen all along!
She is the queen mother of the emperor and Kanghe, but no one has mentioned her for so long!
"It's weird."
Shen Yan discovered this loophole, as if he had found a thread and began to frantically search for the year Kang He Diji was born.
She kept looking and finally found it.
Shen Yan's eyes paused, and he looked at it carefully. The first empress didn't seem to like Kanghe. All the objects or utensils are not Kanghe's share, only the prince.
Contrary to the cold attitude of the first empress, the first emperor's favor for this emperor was undisguised.
After she was enlightened at the age of three, she found Chang'an Hongru Cheng Taifu to teach her.
In addition to the birth of Kang and Diji, only one other thing appeared in the file at the same time.
This event was the renovation of the Qingsi Temple when Kang He Emperor Ji was seven years old.
It stands to reason that the emperor should be kept by the queen's side until she gets married. But Queen Xian didn't want to care about her at all, and even followed by Hongru on the grounds of enlightening him, and drove Kang He to Qingsi Palace.
According to the living note, the emperor argued, and the emperor admonished, the emperor was not as smart as ordinary people, and he had been enlightened and should live separately, and the emperor summoned to repair the Qingsi Hall of the former dynasty and give the emperor Ji.
These few lines made Shen Yan's heart full of sadness.
Even if Kang He received all the favor of her father, her mother's ignorance and coldness were also engraved in her heart.
The Shanggong Bureau rushed to produce a large number of ornaments and jewelry during the renovation of the Qingsi Palace, and the records were sent to the Qingsi Palace.
Qingsi Hall has been repaired, dazzling, extremely luxurious, far beyond the ordinary specifications of the palace hall, the courtiers played on the book, saying that the emperor is too fond of the emperor.
The emperor just replied, I am the only one girl.
And they said no more.
Looking at this story in the living note, Shen Yan said with emotion: "This group of old men must have relented because they thought it was no big deal to pamper an emperor, right?" If it is a concubine, I am afraid that saliva can drown the Qingsi Palace. ”
Shen Yan teased in a low voice, and his subordinates continued to flip.
The emperor moved to the Qingsi Palace, and the queen didn't give any gifts, but pointed out a grandmother to serve her.
This gift is especially precious to the Emperor who lacks maternal love.
It's a pity that the first queen soon died.
The first emperor mourned her very much, and since the death of the first queen, there are no concubines in the palace, and there are no successors. There is a huge palace, only the emperor and his own son and daughter.
When Emperor Ji was ten years old, the first emperor held a banquet for her, gave her the title of 'Kanghe', and respected her as Emperor Kanghe. At that time, the ocean came to congratulate, and the first emperor gave the pocket watch to Kang and Emperor Ji.
Pocket watches tick to the bum, a novelty. Kang and Diji, who were already as calm as a well, were taken aback and showed a happy expression.
The first emperor was overjoyed and ordered the craftsman to engrave the name of the emperor on the back of the pocket watch, 'Nian'.
"That's how this pocket watch came from......"
Shen Yan felt a little emotional when she saw this, she had a good time in this Daming Palace when she was a child.
The first emperor sometimes took Kang and Emperor Ji to the court to debate or pay a private visit to Weifu.
The crown prince was assigned to guard the government.
Shen Yan sighed, this is the end of eccentricity.
The prince was jealous of the favor and honor that Kang He could get. The power to take charge of the government in his hands came easily, and he did not experience bloodshed and did not feel the weight of it.
Because of this jealousy, Kang He was thrown into the Qingsi Hall for more than ten years to fend for himself.
Shen Yan pinched the corners of his forehead.
She raised an eyebrow and opened her eyes, continuing to flip through.
Not long after the conferral of the seal, Kang and Emperor Ji fell ill.
At this time, the number of medical cases about Kanghe in the Imperial Medical Department has obviously increased.
Shen Yan looked at the symptoms and medications written in the medical case, his heart was shocked, and a thought flashed in his mind, Kang He's heart is not good!
She suddenly thought of the emperor's lips that were still bruised when he was panting and speaking before, could it be that the royal family has a hereditary heart disease?
Shen Yan looked through Kang He's medical cases for several years, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and his fingers trembled unconsciously.
palpitations, wheezing, edema......
If she guessed correctly, Kang and Emperor Ji were born with heart disease. Since the death of the first queen, the great grief and grief have drawn the lead, and finally the illness has occurred.
If so...... There is no need for any lotus poison, and she will not live long......"
Shen Yan seemed to have lost his strength all over his body, and sat back on his calf, stunned.
The emperor and Kang He are brother and sister, both with congenital heart disease. After Kang He's illness failed, he was poisoned again, and his life came to an abrupt end. Under the careful care of the Imperial Physician's Department, the emperor did not live for so many years.
In the year when Kang He was seriously ill, the first emperor died, and the emperor hurriedly succeeded to the throne, quickly stabilized the government, and even sent troops to suppress the rebellion in the Western Regions before the other party could react.
Shen Yan knew all these things.
It was this time that Wang Huan first emerged, walked step by step to Chang'an, a place where power gathered, and met the woman he remembered all his life.
The change of the emperor in the living note is the beginning of a new paragraph.
The difference is that there are almost no words from Kang and Emperor Ji in the early stage of this living note.
