Chapter 57: The Final Farewell
It was the life-saving elixir, and now it has become the poison sent by the Empress Dowager Jiang.
If the old man knows the truth, he doesn't know what to think?
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Heng Ying came to see her for the last time, and when she entered the palace gate, she found that her breath was completely wrong.
It is a pervasive smell of condensation, a feeling of slow but merciless departure.
Heng Ying suddenly felt that this scene was so familiar, and her former husband, Zhong Yi, had also been in such a state.
Fear slowly hit my heart, and the god of death, the cold god of death, lingered there.
"Hengying, come here." The Queen Mother's voice was also cold.
"Queen Mother, I'm here." Heng Ying replied quickly, but there was a bit of panic.
"Don't be afraid, it's just that people are dying, and there are still some things that have not been done, so I am not reconciled."
The Queen Mother's voice drifted through the empty Shoukang Palace, and the others didn't know where they went.
"Queen Mother, the royal spirit has been re-condensed, and now the mountains are verdant, what else do you have to worry about?" Heng Ying stepped forward and let the Queen Mother see her appearance clearly.
The Queen Mother suddenly came to her senses, as if she had gathered all her last strength.
She shook her head and looked at the beast's spine outside the temple, as if she wanted to get out of the temple again and go into nature.
After a long time, she said slowly: "The heavy light of Yuzhi Mountain makes the courtiers think it is auspicious, and the mediocrity in the world does not know our contribution to the moon worship, and it is also sad and lamentable. ”
"They do, but Moon Worship never cares."
Hengying always knows his mission and his position. She was never upset by these misunderstandings, and she was never annoyed by these gossips.
The Queen Mother focused on Heng Ying again, "Heng Ying, good boy, I can't do it anymore."
In the future, the Hongyin Dynasty will depend on you.
Remember, cherish the divine power, recuperate, and be kind to the people. ”
"I promise you, this is not the world of you and me, it is the world of the world." Heng Ying replied seriously.
The Queen Mother nodded and glanced at her meaningfully, "It's best that you can know things like this."
I'm afraid that one day you will be blinded by lust and lose the protection of the gods. ”
Heng Ying was slightly shocked when he heard this, but he still suppressed his unhappiness and asked eagerly:
"Queen Mother, I have always had something unclear.
I am not a descendant of the moon worship, and even my parents are just ordinary people, why would God have such an arrangement? ”
Heng Ying plucked up the courage to ask, and the master couldn't answer the doubts in her heart all along. As the actual leader of the moon worship, can the Queen Mother know?
"There are many secrets of Heaven that we cannot penetrate.
I used to think that if you pay, you will get something, and if you sacrifice, you will be rewarded, but in fact, this is not the case with the way of heaven.
Since the heavens have given you such an endowment, don't waste it, don't be like me, go against the heavens for selfish desires, and finally end up in a catastrophe.
I'm sorry for the first emperor, and I'm even more sorry for that person...... I'm ...... in this life."
The voice gradually deepened, and it became low, and finally it was inaudible.
Heng Ying still didn't get the answer she wanted, and she didn't believe what the Queen Mother said that one day she would be blinded by lust.
Love, this thing, she felt that when Zhong Yi died, she would be broken.
The Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes, unwilling and resentful, but in the end she returned to calm.
In the third year of Hongqing, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the Empress Dowager Wensu of Xiaokang collapsed.
Later history books mention this filial piety and Wensu Empress Dowager, they are full of beautiful words, saying, "The latter is benevolent and wise, chaste and obedient, and obedient to etiquette."
As a mother, the emperor consulted and conspired. Good book history, diligent in internal governance, and emphasis on ancient precepts in his spare time.
Mother's etiquette in the world, kindness and virtue.
Jiatai has been in danger for 18 years, and has passed on the throne to Xuande, and has the merit of supporting the community.
Later, he was buried with Emperor Anlie. ”
Only the people of the Baitou Palace still remember that the queen mother was also fierce and untamable, wild and uninhibited.
What changed all that?
Is it love?
Is it the glory of the family?
Is it the noble mission of moon worship?
Perhaps this puzzle could only be brought to Siling and let Emperor An Lie answer it himself.
In the first month, except for the funeral of the Queen Mother, everything else is joyful, after all, the Queen Mother has no biological children to grieve for her.
In addition to the emperor, there are two points of sincerity, after all, this woman changed his fate and made him jump from a small cloth merchant in distant Pennsylvania to the Ninety-Five Supreme and become the co-lord of the world.
I don't know how her star destiny theory works, and why she chose herself among thousands of people.
But after all, it was her, who traveled thousands of miles from Haojing to Pennsylvania to pick up their mother and son.
Now, before the prophecy of "the new emperor will collapse in three years" broke out, the problem of Yuzhi Mountain was solved.
The queen mother is a more important figure than his mother.
She gave him identity and gave him hope.
When the emperor thought of this, he shed a few tears at the ceremony, and the palace people also howled a few times.
For this reason, those old ministers who abide by etiquette and religion also have to be convinced, and Emperor Xuande has more and more what an emperor should be.
As for the others, they just expressed their condolences politely and maintained the polite face of a dynasty.
What everyone is talking about is the heavy light of Yuzhi Mountain, this kind of auspicious rui that has not been encountered in a hundred years, so that everyone has a heart of happiness.
Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has not been able to get up since he was beaten in the wax moon, and with the reprimand every three or five times, he was forced to hand over his resignation on the fifteenth day of the first month.
The emperor immediately approved it, and it was considered a chance for him to retreat.
Other officials of the Ministry of Rites were thinking about how to drill the camp when they saw this vacancy, and some were even planning whether to invite His Majesty to Ziyun Mountain in Luozhou to enshrine Zen in order to demonstrate the merits of the prosperous era.
If the emperor is happy, he can also be promoted.
And Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials did not have such good luck, after the incident of the Four Princes, the emperor saw that he was determined to protect the rebels, and he did not repent, so he ordered the chief manager Qingchi to go to the Nijo Division to prepare.
These two divisions are not bright yamen, but the emperors of previous dynasties have also acquiesced to his existence, and they are often directly controlled by eunuchs in the inner court.
The power of the eunuchs can be big or small, and if it is big, it is to reach the heavens and influence the holy will; It's too small, but it's just a royal minion.
However, the power of the Nijo Division is not small, and it is his function to investigate hundreds of officials and visit public opinion, and cases related to the safety of the royal family can be directly arrested and interrogated.
As for other cases, if the emperor crossed the Criminal Department and Dali Temple on a whim, it is not impossible.
However, the emperor always has to leave some dignity for the court officials, and generally does not use the Nijo Division, at most he provides some personal and physical evidence to assist in the trial.
Now, now that the emperor has moved this thought, Qingchi knows that Yao Shangshu's life cannot be saved.
