Chapter 7, Section 12 Truth
The palace, the gate.
Master Li was carrying a food box and was walking towards the Sanqing Temple in Zhuxian Town.
"Kuxuan Daoist, this is a little bit of my heart, that child has a poor background, thanks to the Taoist Chief's careful care for many years, now, he has grown up a lot."
Master Li carried a food box and gave it to the Kuxuan Daoist with his own hands, and the Kuxuan Daoist changed hands and gave it to the apprentice Sanqing who was beside him.
Kuxuan Dao Chang: "Sanqing, come here, don't thank this donor soon."
Sanqing no longer wanted to hide behind the Kuxuan Daoist who was so scared at the beginning, but politely bowed to Master Li.
The donor comes to incense on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and every time he comes, he also brings good food, so I am afraid that I will spoil the three Qings."
Sanqing thanks the donor, the donor was raised by the master since he was a child, but, among the many donors, the girl is the best for Sanqing, can I call you a mother"?
Master Li's eyes were a little moist, and tears rolled in his eyes: "Okay, good boy, why don't you ask Daoist Kuxuan to be a witness for the two of us, and we are here to be a mother and son."
Sanqingguan, in the courtyard of the main hall, has been placed tribute, burning incense and candles, Master Li and Sanqing both hold three incense sticks in both hands, and say to the sky: "I, Master Li, am willing to worship with Sanqing as a mother and son today."
Sanqing: "I Sanqing, today, I would like to worship Miss Li as mother and son."
Sanqing looked at Master Li with a smile in his eyes, and then helped her to stand up with his own hands: "Sanqing has a mother, Sanqing is no longer an orphan."
Since, you recognize me as your mother, Sanqing is the name given to you by your master, it is better to change your name to Sansi."
Kuxuan Dao Chang looked at the tears, but said nothing.
Today, it's getting late, and I'm afraid my mother will have to go back, so I'll come to see you another day, and ask the Taoist to continue to take care of this child."
Kuxuan Daoist: "This is natural, please rest assured by the donor"!
Master Li looked at Sansi and knew how reluctant he was to him, but he still turned around and left Sanqingguan.
At night, the lights are dim.
When Master Li returned to the palace, he saw Zhao Yuanyan, the king of the Eight Sages, standing at the gate of the courtyard where she lived.
I didn't see anyone all day, where to go
Master Li: "Back to the prince, I saw the prince coughing more than once I saw it, and I went to the Sanqingguan in the suburbs to pray for the prince!"
Eight Sages King Zhao Yuanyan: "It's just like this"?
Master Li: "Yes, that's it."
Zhao Yuanyan, the king of the eight sages: "Let's get up!"
The night wind blew Master Li's hair, the leaves rustled, and the two of them entered the study.
Zhao Yuanyan, the Eight Sages King: "There is news from the palace that the Queen Mother is no longer good, that is, in the next two days"!
Master Li: "The enthusiast has not been in good health for a year or two, and I can't imagine that it will not work so soon, then, should I tell the official family about that matter"!
Zhao Yuanyan, the Eight Sages King, nodded: "It's time, it's time."
Master Li said with a smile: "With this move, the prince will definitely be reused by the official family."
Zhao Yuanyan, the king of the Eight Sages, nodded: "I sent someone to inquire about the news of Liu Sanchang, he is in Yangzhou at the moment, there is never a shortage of women around him, you fall in love with him, he gave him the best of your youth for him, it's a pity."
In the Yuchen Palace, Duan Suling sat in front of a bronze mirror, she was alone, combing her hair, and a handful of white hair fell out as soon as she combed it, and she stroked her aging face.
Xue Hai said softly: "Concubine Xian, Liu San realized and downloaded Yangzhou City, the slave family inquired, that was originally the top brand of Tianxian Lou Li Shishi has now been accepted as a concubine by the Eight Sages King, and she and Liu Sanbian also have a child, I heard that it is called Sansi, and it is in the Sanqing Temple on the outskirts of the city, and she looks the same as Liu Sanchang."
Duan Suling suddenly laughed, and after a moment, he said; "She and Liu Sanbian actually have a child, this is really good news, you go to Tianxian Tower, tell the pavilion master, the pavilion master will definitely have a way, wait, change clothes for me first, I want to marry Cining Palace, go to see the queen mother and her old man."
Xue Hai changed into a white plain dress for Duan Suling, wearing a white jade hairpin, on which a crested head was carved, and it was matched with white jade earrings of the same color.
Duan Suling came to Cining Palace, Cining Hall has been changed to plain up and down, the palace people are wearing white plain clothes, and several palace maids around the queen mother are wearing linen and filial piety.
Duan Suling walked in, and the palace people handed her three sticks of incense, she bowed three times, and then the palace people inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner.
Duan Suling turned to Zhao Zhen: "Now that the Queen Mother has passed away, I have something to say, which must be said in front of the officials and all the royal workers."
Zhao Zhen: "If you have anything to say, Concubine Duan, please say it"!
Duan Suling: "I am close to the Great Song Dynasty, for the sake of peace between my Dali and the Great Song Dynasty, in this deep palace, I have never been the favorite of the first emperor, although His Majesty's mother, Empress Dowager Liu, was deeply favored by the first emperor of three thousand, but, Your Majesty, do you know why whether it is when Your Majesty ascended the throne from the former palace, or now, there will always be people who rumored that Your Majesty is the son of Concubine Li Chen?"
Zhao Zhen: "Why"?
Duan Suling: "In the past, when the Queen Mother was alive, I didn't dare to say, but now that the Queen Mother has died, I will tell you, because those are true, Your Majesty is indeed the son of Concubine Li Chen, Concubine Li Chen was originally the palace maid next to the Queen Mother, because she was favored by the Emperor because of some appearances, and the death of Concubine Li Chen was poisoned by the Queen Mother, and these accomplices are a female history around the Queen Mother, come and bring people up."
Mu Zaha took the female history to the spirit hall, and Zhao Zhen looked at the female history and said, "You tell me, is what Concubine Duan said true?"
The female history thought about denying it for the sake of her own life: "No, Your Majesty, what the concubine said is not true, Concubine Li Chen really died of illness, and it has nothing to do with the slave family, Your Majesty is the child of the queen mother and the former emperor, and what the slave family said is true."
Duan Suling: "Your Majesty, this female history is full of lies and should be put in prison."
This matter is very important, I don't believe what any of you say, this matter will be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion for thorough investigation and then make a decision.
"I can prove that what Concubine Duan said is true."
At this moment, Zhao Yuanyan, the Eight Sages King, walked in with firm steps.
Zhao Yuanyan, the king of the eight sages, "Your Majesty, this matter, you have to start from the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu, the queen mother is deeply pampered, but unfortunately there is no word, for this reason, I want to discuss with the queen mother, and finally decided to spoil the palace maid Li Ruoyue next to the queen mother, and then Li Ruoyue gave birth to Your Majesty,
Liu Xiuyi was named Concubine De, and Li was only named Chongyang County Jun, and later Li gave birth to a daughter, only to be named a talented person, and soon the daughter died, the first emperor in order to compensate Li for Wanyi, Jingde four years Empress Guo died, Liu Defei was able to be sealed, until the first emperor died, Li was named Shunrong, was sent by the Queen Mother to guard the imperial mausoleum, the imperial tomb was cold and suffering, so Li Shunrong was sick for many years, and the queen mother was afraid that the things of the year would be exposed, so she sent someone to poison Li Shunrong, and after her death, she was only named Concubine Chen, His Majesty was born to Concubine Li Chen, but unfortunately Concubine Li Chen died unexpectedly.
Who is the Queen Mother, I think Your Majesty should know best."
days.
Zhao Zhen has been in Cining Palace, day after day, for his mother's funeral grief is too tired, not going to court for many days, giving several sad edicts to blame himself, and respecting Concubine Li Chen as the queen mother, nicknamed Zhuangyi.
In Hongfu Temple, the palace people were changing the coffin for Concubine Li Chen, and Zhao Zhen could finally see his mother's
Groomed, Concubine Li Chen's appearance is the same as when she was alive, her hat and clothes are the same as that of the Empress Dowager Liu E, and her body is maintained with mercury, so it is not decomposed.
Zhao Zhen took a breath and sighed: "How can you believe people's words."
October, cold autumn.
The queen's nickname was originally two words, but Zhao Zhen prepared a chapter for Liu E to dedicate the queen of Mingsu, accompanied the burial of Zhenzong Yongding Mausoleum, and the Li family was buried with Yongding Mausoleum, and the spiritual position was enshrined in Fengci Temple, and the temple was built in Jingling Palace, and the palace was called Guangxiao.
Since then, this period of history has been adapted into a joke by countless literati and writers and passed down to the world.
