Chapter 7, Section 9 The Death of Concubine Li Chen
In the Wende Palace, Zhao Zhen was staring at Zhao Yunrang, the winged king kneeling in front of him.
"I heard that you have another son born"?
Zhao Yunrang, who was kneeling on the ground, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes, this time is the thirteenth, and it is thanks to the blessing of His Majesty that the child can be born safely."
Zhao Zhen smiled lightly: "Did you choose a name"?
"Yes, it's called Zhao Shu."
"Okay,,Good name,Dawn,The hope of the Great Song Dynasty,The future of the Great Song Dynasty,Taizong's lineage,Now it's your family,There are many children and grandchildren,I don't have a son,Is it really the fulfillment of Taizong's curse to seize the throne,Even I,I often hear people say that I am not born to the Queen Mother,Say that I am the son of Li Shunrong, who guards the mausoleum,For so many years, the eldest mother and the little mother raised me together."
"Your Majesty is still young, there will definitely be your own son, as for Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you are a good biological son or not, it doesn't matter, after all, you are already the emperor of my Great Song Dynasty, even if she is too good, her old man is not your biological mother, then she is also your mother-in-law, and she should be filial to her, there is a noble mother, but there is always a mother who is not of high status, not to mention that the Queen Mother and Concubine Yang have the grace to raise Your Majesty!"
"When the first emperor was alive, he often summoned your father into the palace to live, and if you were free, you would also bring Zhao Shu with you"!
It's night, the Mansion of the Prince.
Zhao Yuanyan, the king of the eight sages, was sitting in the study reading a book, and Master Li walked in with a bowl of white fungus soup.
"Lord Wang, the weather is rarely dry, it is better to drink some white fungus soup, the spies from Tianji Hall came to report that Li Shunrong of Yongding Tomb is seriously ill now, I'm afraid it won't work, should we tell Your Majesty, after all, Your Majesty is ......"!
Zhao Yuanyan, the Eight Sages King, put down the book in his hand and raised his head to look at Master Li.
"Sooner or later, this matter will have to be told to Your Majesty, but now is not the time, after all, the Queen Mother is still there, let's see what reaction there is in the palace first, by the way, I sent someone to inquire, Liu Sanchang went to Yizhou"!
In the Cining Palace, Liu E was drinking a bowl of Korean ginseng soup, and a female historian came to meet her, and the female historian told Liu E: "Yongding Mausoleum came to report that Li Shunrong is seriously ill now, I'm afraid it won't work."
"You go to a trusted imperial doctor to see if it's true or not."
"The Queen Mother, she is no longer good anyway, why not get rid of her, won't no one know about that matter."
"Well, you go ahead and be careful, don't let people fall behind."
That night, a imperial doctor went out of the palace late at night, and the donkey cart went towards the Yongding Mausoleum.
The next day, the guards on the side of Yongding Mausoleum opened the door, but found that the imperial doctor had been dead for a long time, and not far away, Li Shunrong, who was dressed in plain clothes, was lying nearby.
Inside the Ning Palace.
The female historian told Liu E: "Li Shunrong is gone, Imperial Doctor Gu is also dead, and the poison comes from the Western Regions, it is colorless and tasteless, no one will suspect it."
Liu E stood up suddenly, and the female Shi supported her: "The old body is a little tired, help me back to the dormitory to rest, no one will come today."
The female historian helped Liu E around the screen and went in the direction of the inner hall.
The next day, the arch hall was hung.
Empress Dowager Liu sat behind the curtain, and Emperor Zhao Zhen was a little sleepy and hit a mace.
Prime Minister Lu Yijian took a step forward and said: "The minister has something to do, but this matter is very important, and the minister doesn't know whether to talk about it or not."
"Quasi-Concert".
"What the minister wants to say is, does Your Majesty still remember Li Shunrong"?
As soon as she heard Li Shunrong's name, Empress Dowager Liu's hand tightened, this Li Shunrong was originally a maid beside her, and Empress Dowager Liu continued to listen to Prime Minister Lu Yijian.
Li Shunrong was once a maid beside the Queen Mother, and later the first emperor saw that she had some appearance, so he was pampered, and later he gave birth to a baby boy, but the baby boy later disappeared, but it was rumored that Li Shunrong gave birth to a civet cat.
Speaking of this, Prime Minister Lu Yijian paused, and after a moment, continued: "Now Li Shunrong has unfortunately passed away ...... illness."
Empress Dowager Liu was a little anxious, so she preemptively said: "Okay, Prime Minister Lu don't say it anymore, a little Shunrong has passed away, since she is guarding the tomb in Yongding Mausoleum, let her be buried in Yongding Mausoleum, and accompany the first emperor forever, and the palace will no longer have to deal with her funeral."
Doesn't the Queen Mother remember the whereabouts of the baby boy in the past, Li Shunrong has never seen her own son in her life, and now that she has died, can't she be compensated?"
Zhao Yuanyan, the king of the Eight Sages, took a deep breath, took a step forward and said: "The minister thinks that it is better to be posthumously crowned as a concubine to show his favor, and the second is to bury him with the gift of the imperial concubine."
After speaking, Zhao Yuanyan, the Eight Sages King, looked at Empress Dowager Liu's face.
"It seems that it can only be like this, but it is cheaper for her, and it is rumored that the old body will posthumously crown the Li family as the concubine Chen, in order to show grace, and bury her with the gift of the imperial concubine."
"Retreat".
The palace people closed the palace door, and the snow was still falling.
