Chapter 616: Back in the Snow
"Old minister, after the old minister died, I also asked the queen mother to bother to help the government...... Uncle Yongwang and Lord Xiao Su are also the emperor's elders. ”
"In the cabinet, Zhao and Xue are both ministers of Zhongzheng, and the rest are difficult to explain. In addition, the Goshidai ......"
Zhou Shoufu struggled, and reported the names of the candidates he thought were available to the court one by one, and the old lady on the side cried so much that she almost broke her liver and intestines.
She knew that this was Zhou Shoufu's last return to the light.
"The old minister is dead, there is a saying, if you don't talk about it with the queen mother, there will be no chance in the future......"
Su Youyi hurriedly said: "Zhou Shoufu has something to say, the mourning family and the emperor will never blame you." ”
Zhou Shoufu glanced at it, and his sons, nephews, and juniors in the room gathered around, and tears appeared in his eyes, "Jiang Su is a person who forms a party for personal gain, has mediocre talents, and is unbearable." And Su Qing is this person...... is resourceful and fickle, and I hope that the Queen Mother will not be too favored and trusted, so as to become ...... Become the second Li Ge Lao! ”
These words clearly fell on everyone's ears, and some of the Zhou family's sons and nephews were so frightened that they didn't dare to cry.
Zhou Shoufu is about to die, and naturally no one blames him for what he says, and neither Su Youyi nor the emperor will say anything.
But when these words came out today, could Su Qing make their Zhou family better?
Zhou Shoufu was honest and honest, and he never used his official position to let his sons and nephews be promoted in the court, so the few sons and nephews of the Zhou family in the court did not have high official positions.
Facing Su Qing, a high-ranking and powerful minister, he can only be slaughtered by others......
After saying this, I don't know if the breath in my heart was relieved, or when the time came, Zhou Shoufu's breath gradually weakened.
"Zhou Shoufu!"
Su Youyi accentuated her tone, almost gritted her teeth and said: "Ten halls of Yama Bull Head and Horse Face, no matter who is pulling you, you have to listen to the words of the mourning family before leaving, did you hear?!" ”
Her momentum was amazing, and everyone looked at Zhou Shoufu who was lying on the bed, and his spirit seemed to have returned, barely keeping his eyes open.
Su Youyi hurriedly said: "When the emperor is eighteen, the mourning family will immediately canonize your granddaughter Zhou as the queen and enter the harem." The sons and nephews of your Zhou Mansion who are officials in the court, whether they are mourning or the emperor, will definitely take care of them in the future. This is what the mourning family promised you, and it is also what you deserve for the court all your life, do you hear? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Zhou Mansion had already cried silently and fell to their knees one after another.
Zhou Shoufu's old face showed a hint of a smile, "Old minister...... Xie Empress Dowager Longen. ”
After saying this, his throat let out a "cluck", and the breath that refused to be cut off for a long time was finally broken......
Su Youyi raised her hand and slowly approached him.
The hand had not yet touched Zhou Shoufu's face, and was grabbed by a hand in the oblique stab, and the nameless probed Zhou Shoufu's neck with his hand, "The Queen Mother, the Emperor, Zhou Shoufu has gone." ”
The nephews and daughters of the Zhou family, who knelt all over the ground, sobbed quietly.
Su Youyi's eyes were slightly red.
Motoji shook her hand, thinking that it was the first time she had seen such a scene, so he was sad and frightened in his heart, trying to comfort her.
Su Youyi was thinking about more than that.
Everyone was waiting for her to speak, Su Youyi took a deep breath, turned her head to look at the people in the Zhou Mansion who were kneeling on the ground, and helped the old lady up with her own hands.
"Old lady, you are the widow of Zhou Shoufu, this big family still depends on your support, and the future queen also depends on your upbringing, you must not fall."
Old Madam Zhou got up slowly, wiped away the tears on her face, and revealed an old and resolute face, "Yes, the courtiers obey the orders of the Queen Mother." ”
She understood Su Youyi's intentions.
In order to make Zhou Shoufu feel at ease, she specially told Zhou Shoufu that she would set Miss Zhou as the future queen, and second, she promised to support the descendants of the Zhou family in the future.
It is also to reassure the people of the Zhou Mansion and let the courtiers know that loyalty will be rewarded in the end.
Su Youyi looked at Miss Zhou again, Miss Zhou was slowly pushed and slowly walked towards Su Youyi, Su Youyi took her hand.
"Wait for three years, the emperor will be eighteen, and Zhou Shoufu's filial piety period will have passed, and the mourning family is waiting for you to enter the palace to be the daughter-in-law of the mourning family. After Zhou Shoufu's mourning period has passed, the teaching in the palace will guide the grandmother to live in the house and teach you the rules and etiquette in the palace. Good boy, don't be sad, your grandfather is over seventy, this is a joy and mourning. ”
Although Miss Zhou couldn't cry, she also knew that she couldn't lose her temper at this time, so she restrained herself with all her strength and respectfully blessed herself, "Courtiers Empress Dowager Xie, Emperor Xie." ”
Su Youyi looked back at Yuan Zhi in silence, Yuan Zhi was stunned, and quickly stepped forward knowingly, and said to Zhou Shoufu's eldest son: "Zhou Shoufu is the middle humerus, and he went like this, and I am very sad in my heart." His funeral must be well organized, and I will also send the palace internal supervisor to see each other from time to time. If there is any difficulty, let someone tell me. ”
Zhou Shoufu's eldest son hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Weichen obeys the order, thank you to the emperor." ”
Yuan Zhi nodded, and when he turned back, he saw Miss Zhou standing there with red eyes, pitiful.
Since the last Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, Su Youyi has discussed with him that the future queen candidate is Miss Zhou.
It's just that I don't want to be exposed too early, so I mixed Miss Li from the Guozi Priest Restaurant, so that people can't guess who the future queen candidate is, so as not to cause complications.
Now Su Youyi announced it early, but because Zhou Shoufu died suddenly, she needs to give Zhou Fu a grace.
After all, she is her future queen, and Yuan Zhi couldn't turn a blind eye to her when he saw her crying so much, so he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her, "Miss Zhou, mourn." ”
Miss Zhou raised her head in surprise, flattered, and took it a while before she carefully took the handkerchief with both hands.
Su Youyi saw the natural outpouring of love in her eyes.
In fact, that time in the treasure house outside the palace, she saw that Miss Zhou had some interest in Yuanzhi, and when it came to the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, she became more and more sure.
It's no wonder that a woman of the same age doesn't like the character of a talent like Yuanzhi?
In two years, it will become more and more likeable.
She smiled a little with relief, "Your Majesty, at this moment, the Zhou Mansion still has to arrange the funeral of the old shoufu, and we have a lot of inconvenience here." Moreover, the cabinet and the lords of the Hanlin Academy should also be invited to the Qianqing Palace to discuss how to posthumously seal Zhou Shoufu in order to show the full glory. ”
Yuan Zhi nodded, everyone in the Zhou Mansion knelt down to say goodbye, and Su Youyi and Yuan Zhi walked side by side towards the outside of the mansion.
The snow is still falling, and the canopy covers the head, and it is difficult to prevent some small snowflakes from falling on the body.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor walked on foot in the snow, the two supported each other, and that back was engraved in Miss Zhou's heart, and it will linger for the rest of her life......
Walking out of the Zhou Mansion, Su Youyi turned back to Duofu and said: "The courtiers will soon come to the Zhou Mansion to offer condolences, what Zhou Shoufu said when he was dying, I want the ministers of the court and the central government to know." ”
