As the sun sets, the golden sunlight shines through the window lattice onto the rolled-up bed, and the exquisite dragon and phoenix embroidery dazzles people.
Zhao Hua woke up from his slumber and wanted the palace people to put down the bed, but his body was heavy and he couldn't exert any strength.
"Mother's awake!"
"The queen is awake!"
There was a pause in the sound of sobbing, replaced by the panicked footsteps and whispers of the palace people.
She closed her eyes slightly, smelling the familiar fragrance of medicine in the air, her heart was extremely calm, the medicine was a little heavier than before, and the palace should have used all the medicines that could be used.
Among the messy footsteps, there was one voice that was particularly calm and powerful.
"Hua Niang, how are you?"
She listened to the footsteps and stopped in front of her bed, then opened her eyes, looked at the embroidered dragon yellow robe in front of her for a while, and then slowly raised her eyes, and what came into her eyes was a handsome and haggard man, with bloodshot eyes, it was difficult to hide her worry and grief, and dozens of palace beauties knelt behind him, and those who had a position should have come to serve the sick.
"Your Majesty," she whispered, trying to pull the corners of her mouth out of an arc.
"Hua Niang, the waste in the Tai Hospital is the most useless, I heard that there is a master of the Tao who has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, I have sent someone to look for him, as long as he comes, he will definitely be able to cure your illness!" Xiao Sheng said with some excitement.
She shook her head slightly, her almost transparent slender jade fingers moved slightly, and he immediately reached out to hold it, "Hua Niang—"
Zhao Hua exhaled lightly, it has been a long time since she has been so comfortable, but this body has run out of oil, and now this little bit of spirit is just a return to the light, as for what kind of master of the Tao who can penetrate the heavens and the earth, she has never believed it.
"Your Majesty," she pulled the corners of her mouth hard, looking at her husband who had been with her for decades, her eyes were clear and transparent, "The concubine's body is congenitally incomplete, and she has been able to survive so far, and she has already entrusted the emperor's blessing, and now that the concubine's life is about to end, there is no need to force it, as for the ...... of the master."
She gasped and said reluctantly, "Zi Bu is silent, and now the emperor is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and he must beware of people with intentions who slander and harm the country......"
Zhao Hua coughed violently.
"I know, I know, I depend on you for everything, Hua Niang, don't worry, I'll let people come back......" Xiao Sheng hurriedly reassured.
Zhao Hua smiled at him, although Xiao Sheng is not very wise and powerful, but he can still carry it clearly in major matters, as long as he can listen to the advice of others and not be confused, why worry that the world is not peaceful, and the people are not happy to live and work?
It's just that I don't know what happened to the war in the Northern Barbarians, there is a trace of regret in her eyes, and there is still no way to last until the day when the world is unified and the four seas are peaceful.
"Your Majesty wants to be the king of the ages, you must have the people of the world in your heart, the overall situation is the most important thing in current affairs, after the concubines leave, you can be buried according to the etiquette, and now the country is initially decided, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, do not work the people and hurt the money......"
"Hua Niang, don't talk about it......" Xiao Sheng held her hand tightly, trembling his lips and trying to comfort her, but he couldn't say a decent word.
"The concubine still has a few words, and the labor emperor will listen to me." She raised her hand, motioned for the palace people to help her up, and drank a few sips of thick ginseng soup, trying to cheer up.
"Hua Niang, you say," Xiao Sheng probably knew that this was Zhao Hua's last moment, and although he was unwilling to accept it, he still endured his grief.
"After the concubines go, all these palace people in Kunning Palace will be released, each by marriage, and don't make people be martyred......" Her gaze slowly swept over the palace people, and her eyes were more warm and less solemn than before.
"Mother's ......"
The palace people who were standing on the side immediately knelt down, crying in silence, and their voices were extremely sad.
Xiao Sheng's eyes turned even redder, and he wanted to persuade her to recuperate, but under her insistent gaze, he couldn't say anything, so he had to grit his teeth and nod.
"And the Zhao family...... Your Majesty must not be gracious to the Zhao family, Ziyu Zijue, who has no talent, and the corpse is a vegetarian meal, and it is already a reward to be an idle person, and it is enough to ensure the safety and wealth of their family. My uncle is anxious for quick success, rigid and self-serving, and it cannot be reused, after the concubine goes, His Majesty can find a mistake to seize power and cut the lord, but he can protect my Zhao family, so as not to cause trouble to the family, cough cough ......"
Zhao Hua's eyes darkened, and it took a while to recover.
"Hua Niang, don't talk about it......" Xiao Sheng was in pain, he and Zhao Hua were not so much husband and wife, but teachers and friends.
For decades, there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, only Zhao Hua is virtuous and kind, not only like-minded with him, but also wholeheartedly planning for him, never seeking personal interests for his own family, strictly controlling the Zhao family, and even repeatedly asking him to cut the officials of the Zhao family to the knighthood, and it was at this time that he did not forget to ask him to treat the Zhao family coldly.
"Hua Niang, don't worry, I will definitely protect the descendants of the Zhao family and reuse the Hongshan lineage." Xiao Sheng said as if he had sworn an oath.
His words made her excited, when her father Zhao Qi was exiled by the family, lived in seclusion in Hongshan, and only accepted three disciples in his life, but made Hongshan famous all over the world, in addition to the little junior brother is still young, another junior brother Wen Dingnian is now also powerful Xuanhe, as the first assistant of the Great Liang but led the troops to fight against the Northern Barbarians, she is the lord of the harem, because of them, Mr. Hongshan Zhao Qi was posthumously respected as a great Confucian, and the writings and doctrines were all the rage, and even to accompany the Confucian Temple.
Because of her father's relationship, although she did not break away from the Zhao family, but the relationship with the Zhao family is shallow, the two younger disciples Yu Zijue is the family inherited to her father's name, and she is already estranged.
As for that uncle, he was the culprit who framed his father in the family back then, and he had been shy about having a relationship with her over the years, and she hated him deeply, and now that she is dying, she naturally doesn't want him to have a good time in the future.
But Hongshan's lineage is different, Wen Dingnian grew up with her, and the little junior brother was picked up by her father Zhao Qi from the refugee pile, when Zhao Qi died, he was still young, and it can almost be said that she brought him up single-handedly, and their relationship is naturally different.
Xiao Sheng mentioned Hongshan, it was like grabbing her life, even when the oil ran out, she also tried her best, and did not dare to slack off, "Your Majesty, Hongshan is in addition to me, but there are only two people, Wen Dingnian is now fighting with the Northern Barbarians on the northern front, this battle is related to my Liang for the next hundred years, don't be careful, after the Beiban is pacified, Your Majesty will let him go back to Hongshan to retire." ”
"What does Hua Niang mean by this?" Xiao Sheng seemed puzzled.
The more he is like this, the more careful Zhao Hua will become, but he doesn't dare to show it on his face, "There are only a few people in Hongshan's lineage, and His Majesty values it, the concubines are in the back position, and Wen Dingnian temporarily takes the post of prime minister, but His Majesty must not raise Hongshan too much, and he must let the people of the world know that the thunder, rain and dew are all the emperor's grace, and let Wen Dingnian return to Hongshan to retire, which is His Majesty's gift to him, if he refuses to go back, then he can't stay." ”
Xiao Sheng raised his eyes suddenly, "Queen, what does this mean?" Mr. Hongshan is my father-in-law, you are my queen, and I am more like a brother in the same text......"
"Your Majesty, the whole world is not the king's land, whether it is the first father, Wen Dingnian, or the concubine, are your people, you are the lord of the world, although Hongshan has only three of our brothers, but always keep in mind the legacy of the father, to Kuang Fu Sheji as their own responsibility, if it is greedy for wealth and power, then it is not my Hongshan people, after the pacification of the Northern Barbarians, my Liang can be peaceful for nearly a hundred years, Wen Dingnian should hand over the authority, back to Hongshan to teach and educate people, otherwise it is a traitor to Hongshan, Your Majesty does not have to pity. For the emperor, what he seeks is the world, the world, not the gains and losses of a city and a pool, and the people in his heart are the people, not the people close to him. Your Majesty should put the overall situation first, and do not delay the love of your children. Zhao Hua's voice was cold, but it couldn't be said to be pleasant to Xiao Sheng's ears.
"Those who know me, Hua Niang also." Xiao Sheng couldn't hide his excitement and held Zhao Hua's hand tightly.
For so many years, only Zhao Hua's thoughts and thoughts coincided with him, every word he said went to his heart, if she went, who else would be his mentor and friend, in the huge world, there would be no one who could talk to him, and he would really become the lonely and widowed person.
Looking at Xiao Sheng's face, Zhao Hua's heart was relieved, knowing that this level was passed, and once he relaxed at this time, he felt that all his body strength was drained away, and his body was extremely tired, but his heart was indescribably calm and comfortable.
After so many years, it's finally over.
"Your Majesty," Zhao Hua gasped, his face was as pale as paper, but he acted in the last play with affection in his eyes, "After the concubine leaves, I only ask Your Majesty to focus on the dragon body, add meals and meals, add clothes diligently, be pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, the power belongs to Your Majesty, and the government belongs to Zhongshu, and you will be able to dominate the world and ...... for the Ming Jun of all generations."
"Hua Niang, Hua Niang......" Xiao Sheng burst into tears, Zhao Hua is not only his wife, but also his confidant, only she knows his ideal of becoming the Emperor of All Ages, only she is willing to consistently work for their common ideals, pay without regrets, even if they have never been husband and wife, but no one can shake her position in his heart.
Zhao Hua's face fell inch by inch, his breathing became lighter and lighter, and the scenes of this life passed by quickly, and finally froze between the green mountains and green waters, the sunshine and the green shirt that day.
The corners of her lips rose slightly, and she was finally relieved.
"The queen is dead—"
The death knell sounded, after Zhao Huaxu in Kunning Palace, Liang Taizu Xiao Sheng cried bitterly, three days after the boycott, the whole country mourned, Taizu personally planned to call the filial piety to the Empress Zhuang Jing, known as the Empress Zhuang Jing in history.
