Empress Tao let out a sigh of relief and generously admitted, "Just now, I was almost scared to death by Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Yongtai's face showed a smug look of successful mischief.
"It turns out that the queen is also afraid."
Empress Tao gritted her teeth, and repeatedly warned herself in her heart that it was not worth it to deal with Emperor Silly Fork.
She smiled bitterly: "I am not impregnable, so naturally there will be times when I am afraid." Your Majesty will not make any more jokes like this in the future, is it okay? “
Emperor Yongtai laughed to himself, "I don't have much time left, and I don't have much chance to play a similar joke with you. So, you can rest assured and be your queen with peace of mind. You are my wife, and I have seen everything you have done over the years and remembered it in my heart. I have been crossing rivers and demolishing bridges all my life, turning my face ruthlessly. Only for you, I will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, let alone turn my face ruthlessly. ”
Empress Tao couldn't believe it.
She choked up, covering her lips, her eyes moist.
At this moment, she was moved.
She sobbed and said, "Does Your Majesty mean what he says?" ”
Emperor Yongtai stroked her cheek, "I know that I am not worthy of anyone's trust. But this time, you can try to trust me. I've lived most of my life, and I've lived a lonely life. I am very happy to have the queen by my side! ”
Empress Tao threw herself into the arms of Emperor Yongtai, "It is my blessing to be able to be a husband and wife with Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Yongtai gently hugged her, "Don't you hold a grudge against me for suppressing the Tao family?" ”
Queen Tao shook her head again and again, "Don't hold grudges, don't hold grudges at all." His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he has his own rules for doing things. ”
Emperor Yongtai smiled and patted her on the back gently, "If you treat me sincerely, I will repay your true feelings." ”
Queen Tao was a little stunned, and slowly raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes.
She really wanted to ask: Your Majesty, do you still have true feelings in your heart? Do you remember the words we said when we were younger, the vows we made?
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongtai suddenly changed the topic, "I often think of when I was young when I was studying, when Zhuyang was not married at that time, and the capital was still full of singing and dancing. Suddenly, one day, the sky in the capital was stained with blood, and the people who were once familiar with each other, one after another, were gone. ”
"Your Majesty, don't say it!"
Empress Tao had a premonition of danger.
The next topic may touch on some secrets that should not be mentioned again.
She didn't want to hear it, she didn't have that much curiosity about the past of the royal family.
Emperor Yongtai didn't seem to see her resistance, and insisted, "At that time, I was still a young man and had never participated in court politics. The heavens and the earth changed color, and I was very frightened, for fear that one day Jin Wuwei would rush into the palace to arrest people, and I was afraid that my family would disappear from my side one by one. It wasn't until the fall of the East Palace that Jin Wuwei did not rush into the palace that I realized that I was safe. The East Palace is falling, and the palace is about to rise.
Sure enough, Emperor Zhongzong later appointed his father as the prince, and soon, our family moved from the palace to the palace. It was only at that time that I was sure that the East Palace was destroyed, and I had an inextricable relationship with my father.
Before my father died, I knelt in front of him and asked him, "Did he do the death of 'Prince Zhangyi'?" Do you know how my father answered? He smiled and told me that the destruction of the East Palace was the most successful thing he had done in his life! That was the pinnacle of my father's life. The destruction of the East Palace, how domineering, how brilliant, the history books will always remember that year, and the name of the father will be discussed by future generations forever.
My father was not praised by future generations because he was an emperor. His years as emperor were really lackluster, and there was nothing to praise. On the contrary, it was because of the fall of the East Palace that he was made the prince, so that future generations will remember.
Later, I kept thinking, should I do more things for the benefit of the country and the people while I am alive, or do a few things that will cause a sensation in the world while I am alive? Benefiting the country and the people may not be remembered by future generations. The major events that have caused a sensation in the world will surely leave a strong mark in the history books. I want both! Not only do I have to do a few things that have caused a sensation in the world, but I also want to benefit the country and the people! Hehe......"
The emperor looked sarcastic, he was laughing at himself.
He looked at Empress Tao and continued, "You have also seen the current situation. I have indeed done something that has caused a sensation in the world, and I will definitely be remembered and discussed by future generations, and thousands of years later, there will be people who will discuss what I did. But when it comes to benefiting the country and the people, I am not worthy! I thought I was worthy, I thought I was a wise man. Now, it seems, I don't deserve it.
I once ridiculed my father, saying that he was lackluster as an emperor, and future generations may not know that there is such an emperor as him. However, he let the people of Great Wei have food to eat, clothes to wear, no need to be frightened, no need to be displaced, and he is a qualified emperor. I did do a few great things, but I left the people displaced, starved, and reduced to pigs and sheep, to be slaughtered. also let the family take advantage of the situation and threaten the imperial power. ”
"Your Majesty, don't say any more!"
This is a sinful edict!
Empress Tao was frightened, burst into tears, and pleaded: "Your Majesty, don't say it again!" ”
If you continue to talk, it is all the emperor's fault.
It's so hard!
The world has become what it is today, is it really the emperor's fault alone?
No!
Everybody's at fault!
Family, generals, princes and kings...... No one is innocent.
"What are you crying about?"
Emperor Yongtai looked at her with a smile.
Queen Tao couldn't cry, her makeup was spent, revealing a face that was no longer young, and she didn't care.
She covered her face and cried and cried all the time.
She didn't know what she was crying about, she just couldn't control herself, and her tears fell like raindrops.
Emperor Yongtai stretched out his hand and wiped her tears with his own hands, "Don't cry!" The makeup is crying, and it doesn't look good. ”
Empress Tao was teary-eyed, "Your Majesty is old, and the concubines are also old." If it's not good-looking, it's not good-looking, and I don't care! ”
Emperor Yongtai laughed, "After so many years, you should be the first time to show your true appearance in front of me, so that I can take a good look." ”
He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped Empress Tao's cheek.
Wipe away the tears, wipe off the fat powder, revealing the years, old age, fine lines......
A real aging queen......
Emperor Yongtai showed a big smile, and the smile reached the bottom of his eyes for the first time.
He grinned, happy as a child, "You're so pretty!" ”
Queen Tao blushed rarely, "I'm old, I don't look good!" ”
"I said you are good-looking, you are the best-looking person in the world."
Empress Tao lowered her head and shook her head again and again.
She wanted to hide, she wanted to cover herself.
The truth is always cruel, and so is the true face.
Because, she is sure that she is old, and no matter how she dresses, she is not as tender as a young girl.
Emperor Yongtai held her face, very tough, but the movements were very gentle.
"You are old, and you are also my queen, I don't dislike you, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of ugliness!" Empress Tao said aggrievedly.
Emperor Yongtai laughed, "I'm a lot old, and I'm afraid of ugliness." You care too much about appearance, too much about face. ”
Empress Tao was not convinced, and went back, "I don't care about face as much as Your Majesty." ”
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongtai nodded in approval of what she said.
"You're right, I really care about face. I care more about face than anyone else. So I lost, and I was defeated. ”
"Your Majesty didn't lose! Your Majesty still has a chance to turn the tide. ”
Empress Tao was eager.
At this moment, she didn't think of herself, she didn't think of San Lang, she didn't think of glory and wealth, she only had the emperor in her heart.
She was sincere and did not fake.
Emperor Yongtai smiled, smiling very contentedly, "It seems that you have returned to the time when you were young, and your heart is full of me." It was a great time! ”
Empress Tao clasped his hand tightly, "Now I am also full of His Majesty." ”
"It's different!"
I can never go back to my youth.
"If I had enough time, I wouldn't be talking to you today. Unfortunately, time is running out for me! Queen, do you hate me? ”
Queen Tao shook her head again and again, "Don't hate!" Maybe I hated it at some point, but finally chose to forgive. In front of His Majesty, I always seemed powerless. ”
Emperor Yongtai laughed with satisfaction, "When I was in a coma, I dreamed of my father, 'Prince Zhangyi', and Emperor Zhongzong. There are many things that I thought I had forgotten, but I didn't expect to think about them again in my dreams. Ay...... I am a failed son of heaven, a sinner of the Great Wei River. I don't know if I dare to see my ancestors after I die. ”
"Your Majesty will live a long life, and it will be fine!"
Looking at the nervous Empress Tao, Emperor Yongtai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can't die for the time being." However, I wanted to speak, and I said everything that I had been buried in my heart for the past and had not said. I'm afraid if I don't talk about it now, it will be too late in the future! ”
"You say! I'm listening! ”
Queen Tao is colorful.
Emperor Yongtai stroked her cheek, "There is no makeup to retouch, the queen looks much more real." Suppressing the Tao family, I don't regret it. The Tao family is a relative, and their power is inflated, even if there is no matter of the princes and kings, I will suppress the Tao family. All relatives must be suppressed! The trouble of relatives cannot happen in my hands. ”
Empress Tao nodded heavily, "I understand!" Your Majesty, don't say it. ”
She felt uncomfortable.
The truth is that this is the truth, and emotionally uncomfortable after all.
Her second brother, her father, gave with his life.
The price is too high!
Emperor Yongtai continued: "San Lang is very good, in the next time, I plan to take him with me and teach him hand in hand." You taught Saburo very well, affectionate, righteous, strategic, and steady and down-to-earth. He's not aggressive, that's better than me. You must keep an eye on him for me, and you must not let him make the mistakes I have made, and you must not do things in an extreme ......"
"Your Majesty, please don't say it! It's not that time yet, don't talk about it. ”
Empress Tao pleaded again.
Emperor Yongtai smiled and said, "If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have time to say it in the future." Just listen, as if this was the last time I would whisper in your ear. You are the queen, and you have been with me for many years, you have to tolerate my bad temper and my nagging and verbose. ”
Queen Tao cried and nodded!
