Chapter 6 Angelica teases
The emperor sat in the imperial garden, holding a piece of angelica in his hand, but the good autumn coolness made him feel sad.
He didn't know that the friendship of his youth was so fragile. That guilty edict made him even more inexplicably annoyed, where is this court his court, isn't it all discussed by the courtiers?
Why is there a difference in the sky, and he has to bear it as an emperor.
Everything is really done by himself, since the sky is different, if the ministers are not wrong, or the Queen Mother should not have taken him back to be the emperor.
Why is it that no one has to review their own ineffectiveness?
Why didn't anyone dare to impeach Empress Dowager Jiang for making a mistake, the mandate of heaven is not in Pennsylvania at all, not in his own small cloth merchant.
It is also strange to say that after the loss of Tongyun Pass last year, Empress Dowager Jiang invited herself to go to the royal tomb to prepare for the prince's funeral.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing shouldn't be organized by her personally, so she just insisted on it.
Some people say that she held a secret ritual there, which was prepared for many days, but finally failed.
Haojing City is broken, although it can't be said that it is her fault, but she did not shoulder the responsibility of saving the world that the astrological family should have, I am afraid it is also true.
In order to make up for this mistake, she set up an altar on Yuzhi Mountain, used her own blood, and asked for the life of the stars.
No one doubts the Jiang family's attainments in stargazing, and the Empress Dowager Jiang is the strongest stargazer of the Jiang family's generation, and her decision is the decision of the entire Jiang family.
Smart people also know that behind the Jiang family is the shadow of the Lunatic Cult.
The cult of the Holy Borneo Ancestor is only a matter of more than a hundred years, but the Lunatic Worship Sect has been much longer, and there has been a prototype of the Moon Worship in the barbaric era of Hongmeng's early split.
At that time, people worshipped the power of nature, and the moon, which changed every month, undoubtedly became the most mysterious symbol of power.
Moon worship is a secretive, but unimaginably powerful force. The astrological family is nothing more than their spokesperson in the world.
Therefore, Empress Jiang asked for Xing Ming, saying that Ji Fansheng of Pennsylvania was the best candidate to take over the throne, and no one raised objections. Everyone is just thinking about how to entrap the new emperor, how to climb to the center of power according to the previous rules.
As for, who is Ji Fansheng? Where did he come from? What did he do before? No one cared.
No one cares about his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, the rumor of "the new emperor collapsed in three years" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone firmly believes that Ji Fansheng is just a transitional emperor, once the world is stable, and the rebellions in various places are cleaned up, then Ji Fansheng's position can also be moved.
As for whether Destiny really wants him to die, what does it matter?
After Ruoshui left, he was depressed for many days, and the queen didn't always have a smiling face like last year, always with fluttering eyes, glancing at him as if there was nothing, and then withdrew.
The queen was picked by the queen mother, and the Xu family was admitted to the imperial examination, and there was no foundation in the court. But this daughter of the Xu family has a fate, quite in line with Empress Dowager Jiang's thoughts.
It is said that she once practiced in Qingcheng Mountain and has unusual kung fu, but Ji Fansheng can't see what is different behind that body?
He also tried to approach her, but was politely refused.
He couldn't find out her thoughts, and he didn't even touch her body, which was a matter of chagrin.
It's been a year, the queen is just a façade for herself in the ceremony, she is cultivating on weekdays, even on the first and fifteenth days of the new year of each month, the day when she wants to join the palace according to the routine, she also finds a reason to resign.
When he got married, he was still excited to think that the Queen Mother was really kind and chose a beautiful girl for himself, it turned out that there was really no cheap good thing in the world.
On the night of the wedding, Queen Xu couldn't refuse, and the two of them still spent the night in the same tent, but her body was cold, and Ji Fansheng couldn't get close at all.
This kind of talent really scared Ji Fansheng, I really thought that I was not worthy of being the emperor, and even the queen's body was not close.
Later, when Concubine Yu entered the palace and was having fun day and night, Ji Fansheng felt that he was really alive and a real man.
Whenever Concubine Yu leaned on his arms, his heart couldn't help but worry about another person, if the person in his arms was her, how good it would be.
Things in the harem are bad, and things in the previous dynasty are not comfortable.
Ji Fansheng dreamed back at midnight, and felt that if he didn't have that wise and martial ancestor, how good would it be, and there were so many clans in the world, why did Empress Dowager Jiang choose herself, is this a hatred?
There are still three old guys in the court, and everything is said to be discussed, and the emperor only needs to pretend to be a nod at the end.
He was tired of this kind of life, and he knew that he should have listened to Ruoshui's words and left together.
He kept recalling that day when she was leaving, she knelt earnestly under the steps, and there was a piece of angelica in the recital. Presumably she has returned to the landscape and countryside, and she is free to swim.
Angelica, Angelica...... It seems to be all from the previous life, why he still can't forget it.
In the past, she had been out for a long time, sleeping in the open air, and when it came to that day of the month, she was prone to abdominal pain. Ji Fansheng went to the pharmacy to buy angelica, cooked chicken soup for her, and sent it over.
At first, Ruoshui was embarrassed, but when that day came, he stayed at home and waited for Ji Fansheng's chicken soup.
Now, he can drink chicken soup every day, but Ji Fansheng feels that it doesn't taste at all.
He still misses the days when he drank chicken soup with Ruoshui in Pennsylvania, perhaps because of the addition of red dates, the chicken soup was so sweet. Or maybe it's a delusion, the chicken soup is always the same, but the people who drink it are different.
How long has it been, has it been more than half a month, time has passed so quickly.
used to hope that she could come back, but this time, he knew that Ruoshui really couldn't come back. Even in the midst of everyone, she can no longer be seen.
"Ruoshui, are you okay in the distance?" Ji Fansheng asked this question more than once in his heart, what would happen if Ruoshuiqiang was left in the palace at that time?
"Your Majesty, Tan Zhijin, the head of the household, asks to see you." The little eunuch of the Yellow Gate stood with his hands hanging on the side, and his attitude was humble.
The young emperor's delusion was interrupted, and he glanced at this little eunuch, who could report here, it was estimated that it was also those old thieves. Raising his head and sighing, "I don't see anyone today, so you all stand down." ”
The yellow leaves around slowly piled up, because the emperor was here, and the people who cleaned did not dare to step forward, looking at the mausoleum of Emperor An Lie from afar on the Luodan Pavilion, the emperor's heart welled up with an unspeakable guilt. In this world, it is so difficult to sit.
Tan Shangshu had already entered the palace gate and waited in the room where the ministers were on duty on weekdays, but he didn't expect to have a closed door. But there is no way to wait any longer for the matter in hand. He folded out of the palace gate and went directly to the Zuo Xiang's mansion.
