Chapter 33: The Edict (Conclusion)

"!" An Ruyi stomped her feet.

"It's better for us to talk less about the prince's affairs." Lin Yuan put down the teaspoon and suddenly sighed: "Noble concubine, I already knew that Zhang Kaishan was the queen when it came to rebellion." ”

An Ruyi sat down sullenly: "What should I do then?" It was easy to persuade the emperor to change his mind and re-select the East Palace. In the past few days, I have listened more and more to the queen's slander, and last night all night, the wind in the queen's ears did not blow less. And Niangniang, even if the edict of the emperor on the throne is written in the East Palace, there have always been few cases of brothers and soldiers meeting each other after the new emperor ascended the throne? ”

The situation was urgent, and An Ruyi didn't care about words.

"What should I do?" Lin Yuan's eyes were a little hollow. Why didn't she understand, just say that the current emperor Tuoba Hong is not a usurper of the throne. If Empress Shangguan really had such a mind, she would not say anything in front of the emperor now, and when the emperor died of illness and the thrones overlapped, she might not set off any kind of bloody storm.

"What can I do? It's all forced to this point, and you have to fight hard. ”

Ahn sat for a while and then retired. Lin Yuan saw that she was anxious, and ordered people to take her six princesses from the capital.

It's no wonder that she is impatient, at this critical moment, a small mistake will make them irreversible.

Lin Yuan slowly crushed a black silk grass pill into the bowl. Thinking of Zhang Kaishan's rebellion case, she is still afraid. At the time of the incident, she knew that it was the queen who did it, but she didn't expect that the queen was not fighting for that position for her two parents and sons, but supported King Zhao.

In the end, neither of the two princes showed their faces in the court, but after the "illness" of the East Palace, King Zhao was appointed to supervise the country.

The ring in his hand was clenched tightly. She already felt suffocated, if the three princes and the four princes were two would be easy to deal with, but King Zhao was ...... The emperor has a gap in his heart against the third prince and the fourth prince, and King Zhao is not the queen's own son.

Tuoba Hong could not accept the succession of the two princes, but at least he could accept King Zhao. After grinding and soaking the ground, Tuoba Hong may not be shaken.

What a tricky woman! Lin Yuan hated and scolded.

Just when Lin Yuan was restless, an attendant rushed in front of him in panic, saying that it was summoned by the emperor.

Lin Yuan didn't even comb her hair and walked away. When she arrived at the place, the queen was already there, Lin Yuan looked at Tuoba Hong vomiting blood, and her face turned white with fright: "Don't you send Imperial Doctor Liang over quickly!" ”

The Empress pounced on the Emperor to wipe the blood. Last night was fine, but today he suddenly fell ill. Fortunately, there were preparations, the queen and Lin Yuan did not go far, and the princes and princesses also lived in the palace and waited for the summons.

Tuoba Hong was already groggy, and he barely raised his eyelids to see the two women in front of him, and stretched out his finger to point to the little ones not far from the bed.

"Your Majesty ......" Shangguan Li burst into tears: "Please, wait a little longer......"

Tuoba Hiroshi just shook his head.

It's all like this, wait a minute, can you get through it? Forget it, he can't win against the Grim Reaper.

Shangguan Li hung his head exhausted and instructed the palace people: "Take the jade seal." ”

The East Palace led a group of princes and princesses to come in and kneel, the children all bowed their heads and said nothing. Except for King Wu and King Zhao, who were concerned about state affairs and couldn't rush over, the rest even Fan Yu, who was far away in Yunzhou, arrived all the way.

Fan Yu knelt on the left side of the East Palace, to be honest, she didn't have any feelings for her father, and Tuoba Hong was just a symbol in her heart, a symbol. She knelt calmly, her eyes rolling over the queen and the concubine. What if my father died? The country will soon have a new monarch, the symbol of supreme power, but it will be a new person, and it will never disappear.

But Chang Ning behind her pressed her shoulders, and her body kept shaking.

Tuoba Hong had eight princes and six princesses in his life. Among all these children, Changning is the only one he really loves. King Wu and Donggong were also doted on by their father when they were young, but they were boys, and when they grew up, they fought for the throne bloodily, and in Tuoba Hong's heart, they were just the heirs to the throne, and they didn't treat them as sons for a long time.

Emperor Yuanrong is too young, and Tuoba Hong is the most precious to her because of the love of the original queen when she was an infant. It's a pity that a few years later, when the war was raging, Tuoba Hong had the leisure to take care of her and love her, and only gave her the most noble status and the richest fief. So he missed the childhood of his only daughter, and he did not fulfill his obligation to accompany him.

Only Changning is a real princess. Even after Tuoba Hong returned to China, he knew that his time was running out, and he sent his concubine Xiao Yuan to be the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion ten days ago, and gave the right prime minister a fictitious title of Dingguo Gong, the kind of cold family of the Xiao family, and there is a title descendant who can at least attack the lord.

The emperor on the bed couldn't get up, and he looked at the room with his eyes open. Lin Yuan saw that his gaze was very empty, and there was nothing but unwillingness.

Yes, he was not reconciled. He was only forty-two years old.

Lin Yuan could hear her own heartbeat. can't help but smile bitterly, even if a woman who is really in love with Tuoba Hong, when he is dying, his heart is more afraid and panicked than sad and sad - the choice of the prince determines the fate of the second half of his life, and even the life and death of himself and his son can be decided on the spot.

is like Yun Dan, there is no son and no hope, and he has turned his face with King Wu, and there is nothing to fight for this time.

"Are you all here......" Tuoba Hong asked hoarsely, pointing at the queen.

The queen got up and said, "Don't move, the emperor is here, the royal family and the vassal kings have also arrived." King Zhao presided over the affairs of a state in the capital, and according to your previous will, you should not delay the affairs of the state, so you did not let him come. As for King Wu...... He led a large army, and it was not possible to get there in a day or two from the place of North Sena. ”

After the emperor became seriously ill and could not be saved, King Wu, as the fifth son, was ordered to immediately return to China to visit his father. But he's still on the road, and he can't catch up with this posture.

Takubahiro nodded.

The emperor of the Qin State died at the end of his life, and there was a set of rituals from near death to mourning. The queen stepped forward to visit, asked Imperial Doctor Liang a few words, shook the emperor's hand and said, "The East Palace is here, please give instructions to the emperor." The concubines and others retreated outside first to guard. ”

The crowd followed the queen and rushed out. This is an old rule that has been observed for hundreds of years, and the emperor finally has to ask the East Palace alone.

The queen looked respectful when she led the people to retreat, but the moment she raised her hand to lift the curtain, she still hesitated, and couldn't help but turn her head.

She vaguely saw the crown prince Tuoba Qi coming to the emperor's bed.

My heart tightened inexplicably, and then I relaxed with pain. The emperor has always been unwilling to live and die, and he often changes his mind at the end of the succession. If the emperor wants to change the candidate for the prince, this is the last chance.

But the emperor did not make any superfluous moves. He kept the East Palace as usual.

Empress Shangguan sighed softly, but she couldn't see it, she had long known that since the "Shangshan Sihao" face saint, the emperor had decided to let the East Palace succeed to the throne. Besides, even if Zhang Kaishan's incident happened at the beginning, and the emperor intended to abolish the East Palace, didn't he really make an order? At that time, Concubine Shu always enjoyed the status and courtesy of a concubine.

The emperor put the East Palace under house arrest and ordered King Zhao to supervise the country, but he could only talk about the idea of abolishing the crown prince, but his heart was still wavering.

Subsequently, with the advice of Shangshan Sihao, the emperor trusted the East Palace as usual, and the major rebellion case was completely obliterated.

She bit her lip fiercely, and when she raised her eyes, she bumped into Lin Yuan's sharp eyes.

Seeing someone staring at him like this, Shangguan Li's brows furrowed. The sharpness in Lin Yuan's eyes slowly faded, and she bowed and saluted: "The queen mother has been working hard for days. If you want to work hard in the future, please take care of your phoenix body and don't be too sad. ”

Shangguan Li stared at her for a long time, and then snorted coldly: "This palace can still hold on, it should be Concubine Shu who wants to rest." You have been working hard for the past half a year, and you have also invited the 'Shangshan Sihao' to go out of the mountain, but it took a lot of effort. ”

Hearing her mention Shangshan Sihao, Lin Yuan helped the silver hairpin on her hair bun, and sighed: "It's a pity that the medicine sent by the concubine is late, and it's a pity that Mr. Xuguzi passed away three years ago, if he is still here, the emperor will be fine." ”

"Lady!" Empress Shangguan's willow eyebrows were upside down, and Lin Yuan kept claiming that she was thinking about the emperor, but in fact, she was only doing these things for the East Palace! Thinking of this, the queen hated her heart, and the 300,000 defenders of the capital "rebellion" did not drag the East Palace into the water! She knew that Concubine Shu colluded with courtiers such as the right minister, but she didn't know that their mother and son were so capable, and they also invited Shangshan Sihao!

But do you want to take the throne based on that alone?

Shangguan Li glanced at her indifferently and said softly: "The national seal was held by the palace, and the edict will be picked up by Concubine Shu." ”

Lin Yuan received the order and said yes.

When he came back with the edict, he met Xiao Zhen, the right prime minister, in front of the steps of the main hall. Xiao Zhen didn't look good on his face, he saluted as usual, and whispered to Lin Yuan: "Sure enough, as Niangniang expected, King Wu was ordered to lead the army back to China, and the journey was very unsmooth, and he was intercepted many times. Now King Wu and the Northern Cypriot army are still blocked outside Youzhou City......"

Lin Yuan snorted coldly: "The queen and the Shangguan family are not tired, here they are tossing a big case of rebellion to abolish the East Palace, and they have also sent heavy troops to block King Wu over there." ”

It is not easy for Shangguan Li to support King Zhao, and the two mountains in front of her are a heavy pressure - Donggong and King Wu, which is the fuel-efficient lamp? And the most important thing is that King Wu and Donggong have counted in the emperor's heart, and King Zhao is not allowed to like Tuoba Hong.

King Wu's side is a big trouble, the country cannot be without a king for a day, after the emperor dies, the new emperor must ascend the throne on the second day. King Wu is now blocked in Youzhou and can't come back, no matter how powerful he is, when he comes back, the capital will have already settled, and the new monarch is sitting on the throne waiting for him.

And the East Palace is even more difficult to deal with, the queen sees that the emperor is going to write Tuoba Qi's name on the edict, and she is helpless.

"It's hard work." Lin Yuan sighed again: "Your Majesty, he ...... Probably today. We have also done what we should do, the defenders of the capital have always been the henchmen of the East Palace, and there is no need to worry about King Wu coming back for the time being, King Zhao is there...... If the Shangguan clan really wants to raise troops regardless of the infamy of the world, we are not unable to bring out people. ”

"Everything is at the behest of the mother." The right prime minister bowed and said.

At this point, the right prime minister didn't mention Fahrenheit anymore. The emperor fell ill suddenly, and Fahrenheit has no children to live with until now, so what is the value of waiting for the emperor to go west?

Even the concubine in front of her and the mother and son of the East Palace were almost abolished by the queen. He is bent on looking forward to the concubine, and he doesn't know whether he will be able to be glorified in the future, or die with the mother and son.

When Lin Yuan rushed back to the dormitory again, the East Palace had already knelt behind the queen.

A roll of bright yellow silk silk that was the same as before was held by Tuoba Qi in both hands. Tuoba Hong looked at the queen calmly: "Is it all done?" ”

At the last moment, Takubahiro finally stopped struggling with fate. Shangguan Li didn't dare to cry, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry." ”

"It's good to have your words." Tuoba Hong closed his eyes, swept a room of royal relatives and nobles, and closed his eyes to look at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "The concubines are entrusted by the emperor, and they all know it. ”

After that, an old minister of the Ministry of Rites issued several holy decrees on behalf of the saint, which were insignificant compared to the things in the hands of the East Palace. It was the loyal courtiers who followed the emperor all their lives who received the last grace of Emperor Qianwu, knighted, rewarded with gold and silver ancestral homes, etc., the original emperor was not allowed to cry, and everyone couldn't help crying after receiving the reward.

One of the decrees was for Concubine Zhen. Tuoba Hong looked around the crowd, and when he saw that she didn't come, he had to hand over the holy decree to the queen, and said, "I know Yun Dan's intentions for me. The position of the imperial concubine is not wronged by her. ”

Empress Shangguan's heart was half sad, half anxious about the future, where could she care about a pro-imperial daughter who was not qualified to get involved in the political affairs of the Qin State. She took it and said, "What the emperor said is very true, Yun Dan has served the emperor for all these years, we all see it in our eyes, and it is right to give her this position." I glanced at the will again, and changed "Zhen" to "Zhen"?

What a proper title.

But there were some doubts in my heart, at this time, Yun Dan was nowhere to be seen, she had always admired the emperor the most, shouldn't she stay here early......

When everything was explained, even the emperor was wearing a shroud. Tuoba Hong gradually lost his words, and he raised his hand to signal the queen, the concubine, and several princes to come closer.

The ministers retreated behind the screen. Shangguan Li knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, don't speak, we all know what you want to say." ”

Takubahiro sighed helplessly. He knew that Lili treated him sincerely, otherwise he wouldn't have smashed the jade seal for him back then. He also knew that Yuan'er was a good woman.

But so what, he let go today, and tomorrow King Zhao and Shangguan Li will force the palace. And if the East Palace is really abolished and King Wu is established, Lin Yuan doesn't know what kind of thing he can do.

He closed his eyes for a long time and refused to speak. Imperial Doctor Liang's fingers kept pressing on his pulse, and several of Yao Fusheng's henchmen around him were standing with their knees bowed, holding ginseng soup and other life-threatening things in their hands.

After a long time, Tuoba Hong raised his eyelids, and someone behind him immediately stepped forward and took three keys, opened the third layer of the Duobao grid on his bedside layer by layer, and took out several more holy decrees from it.

Yao Fusheng personally handed over all the silk silks to the queen.

Empress Shangguan was horrified in her heart, hadn't all the wills already been announced?

She shuddered and opened, and her face gradually turned white. Tuoba Hong looked at her quietly and asked her to read it.

"Yes." She had no choice but to respond, reading, "...... King Zhao is flashy and unpretentious, and has no talent for governing the country. Abolishing the seal, moving Ying has thought about it. ”

I took another one, and the corners of the queen's lips were so dry that she could barely speak, she pursed her lips, and read with difficulty: "The king of Qi and the king of Chu are descendants, and their identities are valuable, and they will seal thousands of households in the palace, and from now on, they will open the palace and leave the palace to the fiefdom......"

Empress Shangguan's fingers twitched. She once thought of thousands of possibilities, in order to support the new monarch and stabilize the throne when an emperor passed on the throne, he would help the new monarch remove some obstacles. However......

In the end, Tuoba Hong is ruthless, although King Zhao is unwilling, he is also his own eldest son! Without any fault, he was deposed as a concubine because of a sentence of "flashy", let alone succeeding to the throne, he will never have a bright day in his life!

And his two sons, Tuoba Hongxu couldn't bear it, so he ordered them to be trapped in the fief and not allowed to return to Beijing.

After the queen read the will, a few guards with knives had already gone out to spread the holy decree. Lin Yuan knelt and didn't dare to say much, and she was also horrified in her heart.

Tuoba Hirohara did not expect that he would die on the way to the battle. He thought that he would be able to live for a long time, be able to see the four seas return to one, be worshiped by all generations, and be able to take care of the Great Qin and then pass it on to his descendants.

At the very least, he should suppress the civil strife of the princes before the new emperor succeeds to the throne. He needs to wait for his sons to grow up and cultivate power for the selected East Palace, while suppressing the rest of the princes so that they have no strength to compete with the East Palace.

But now it seems that the overlap of thrones has become a mess. Mo said that Tuoba Hong was still hesitating about the choice of the prince a month ago, and then King Wu and King Zhao fought again, and there was a posture of waiting for him to meet each other after his death.

The transfer was in a hurry, so he had to find ways to remedy it, and abolished King Zhao, so that he could suppress it a little.

"Mother, there is one last will here." Lin Yuan couldn't come back to her senses after seeing the queen for a long time, so she had to remind her.

Empress Shangguan looked at the only remaining roll of silk in her hand.

The emperor disregarded the relationship between father and son so much and suppressed King Zhao, and her heart was already sinking. However, there was no despair, she knew that she still had the power of the Shangguan family in her hands, and King Zhao would be abolished if he was abolished, and it was not her flesh and blood. Her own kings of Qi and Chu were ordered by the previous emperor to move to the fiefdom and never return to Beijing, but when Tuoba Hong died, how could everything be said accurately?

There is still a lot of competition.

I just don't know what the amazing content of this third will will be.

It should be for King Wu, she thought.

Fingers shook things away, and the emperor on the couch coughed slightly.

The queen hurriedly rushed over to look at him again.

Takubahiro shook his head slightly, signaling that she didn't need to read it. Yao Fusheng stepped forward and bowed, withdrew the will from the queen's hand, took the candle and put it on it.

Lin Yuan was surprised and said, "Your Majesty ......"

"Mother, please step down." Yao Fusheng lowered his head and said to them.

Several people had no choice but to retreat. A moment later, the imperial courtiers who were kneeling not far away also received orders to come forward.

God didn't take extra care of Tuoba Hong. Half an hour later, four cloud boards sounded in the main hall.

The person who pushed the door of the palace open with his own hands was Lin Yuan. Beside her stood the sixth prince of Emperor Qianwu, the crown prince Tuoba Qi.

They were greeted by the military generals of Wenchen kneeling in the front yard.

The sound of the cloud board continued to knock and spread all over the world, and at the same time, the sound of the mountain shouting long live the new emperor spread from this place to all sides.

On the fourth day of September in the twentieth year of Qianwu, Tuoba Hong collapsed in Xianyang Taihe Palace, forty-two years old, said that Shengrong Xiaozhang became the emperor, and the temple number was Xianzong.

Tuobahong's nickname is "Cheng". In the first half of his life, he gathered the court and promoted talents, and in the second half of his life, he fought in all directions and leveled the countries, but in the end, he insisted on attacking the Xiongnu and Xia despite the advice, and died early after being wounded by a knife. Whether he is born or not, only to be commented on by future generations.

When the coffin of the Daxing Emperor was stopped, it was the beginning of the new monarch's accession to the throne. The overlapping thrones are a moment of mixed joy and sorrow at the pinnacle of the country's power, and the young new emperor is dressed in filial piety to succeed in front of his father's spirit, and Tuoba Qi is heading towards his new, glorious and bumpy future.

The queen mother of the two palaces was enshrined on the same day, everything according to the ancestral system, the first emperor and the queen of the middle palace Shangguan, and the queen mother of the queen mother; Concubine Lin, worship the Queen Mother. Tuoba Qi gave the queen mother of the two palaces great courtesy, on the day of the canonization ceremony, there were border countries to come to worship, and the military generals of the civil and military generals attended the kneel and bow, and the regulations were very huge.

After the canonization of the queen mother, it is the ceremony of the concubines of the first emperor, Tuoba Qi follows filial piety and should be treated with courtesy, but it is a pity that the Sambuza clan Yundan, who was worshiped by the emperor's edict as the imperial concubine, committed suicide by swallowing gold on the first day and night of the emperor's death, and then the emperor died, and her coffin was carried into the imperial tomb with the emperor.

In the imperial tomb of the Qin State, only the original queen can be buried with the emperor. Those who are not up or down will lie on the other side of the Emperor's Spirit Palace after a hundred years, unable to meet the emperor, but they are not too far apart.

However, the entire mausoleum is divided into the emperor's tomb and the concubine's tomb, unless there is a queen's title, ordinary concubines can't even enter the emperor's tomb. There is a special case, the imperial concubine can be "buried" with the emperor's mausoleum, lying in a status lower than the queen.

The day before Tuoba Hong's death, Yundan was named the imperial concubine, which did not mean this.

This time, Shangguan Li didn't have a hard time with Yun Dan, she arranged for the Ministry of Rites to bury Yun Dan according to the emperor's wishes. Dust to dust, soil to earth, fighting for a lifetime, I hope I will not see each other in the next life.

A day later, the emperor gave the empress dowager of the two palaces a badge. Shangguan's name is "Zhaoren", and Lin's family is called "Zhaohui".

The queen mothers of the two palaces responded without objection. Lin Yuan said to Tuoba Qi in the court: "The emperor is a filial child, and he is so dedicated to the title of the queen mother of the two palaces. ”

Tuoba Qi said with a smile: "The emblem of the queen mother is not what the sons bothered to think, it is all the meaning of the first emperor. ”

Lin Yuan was slightly puzzled, and only after thinking about it did he understand. Shangguan Li changed "Chang" to "Ren", and she herself changed "Hui" to "Hui".

Included in these two words is the deep helplessness of the former emperor Tuoba Hong. He knew that after his death, the brothers of the new emperor would fight fiercely, and that the suffering of his ascension to the throne twenty years ago would now be repeated in the same way for his sons. He had a good idea, he thought he would live a long time, that he would take care of everything......

Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, and what he left behind was a huge and powerful Qin State, and it was also a mess.

He had no choice but to use such a weak behavior, hoping that Shangguan Li would be lenient and merciful and not provoke blood; I also hope that Lin Yuan will be virtuous and virtuous and bring harmony to this empire.

Lin Yuan thought of Tuoba Hong in his heart. It was the only man in her life, her husband and relatives, but their positions were not the same.

I don't know what kind of mood Shangguan Li uses to remember this man? Is it the regret of the origins of both parties, or the nostalgia of love and hate, or the hope of an afterlife?

At least at this moment, Lin Yuan couldn't even fulfill Tuoba Hong's last wish. On September 15, she issued the first decree with the respect of the queen mother - the former emperor Ji Huaike, the eldest emperor, formed a party for personal gain, did not harbor dissenting intentions, should be abolished as a concubine, and given death to the cold palace.

Tuoba Hiroshi has not yet come out of the mourning period, and he does not want the royal family to have another strife and see blood. But Lin Yuan did not hesitate, and in a very short period of time, he ordered the death of Fan Yu, who was dedicated to supporting King Wu. King Wu was sitting on a heavy army, and she couldn't move, at least she killed Fan Yu and cut off one of his arms first.

King Wu was blocked by the Shangguan clan in Beisai and couldn't come back, and Feng Huaien also stayed in Beisai together. Fan Yu is isolated in Kyochu, and no one will save her.

Of course, she is extremely smart, and when her father died and her sixth brother ascended the throne, she thought that there would be a catastrophe today. When the Empress Dowager Zhaohui issued the decree, she had already escaped from the capital with her cronies.

Lin Yuan gave a death order to kill her, and when she dared to escape, she immediately accused her in public in the court of having the intention of rebelling and buttoning her big hat tightly. Then sent the assassins of Dongchang to the north to arrest, the dead soldiers raised by the royal family are not mortals, but a few days of effort, the sedan chair that Fan Yu was riding was surrounded in Tongguan, and the Feng commander led by took out the will of the queen mother and ordered to be shot on the spot.

Fan Yu closed her eyes, she knew she couldn't escape. She found the bottom set of court clothes from her suitcase, slowly changed into them, and walked out of the sedan chair by herself. The moment the samurai on the other side shot her arrow, she turned around and fled, jumping off the edge of the cliff behind her.

The north wind was blowing, and the speed of its descent blew her alizarin-red sleeves high. She looked at the top of the clear blue sky, and a brilliant smile appeared on the corner of her lips - in this life, there are no regrets. I have received the strongest power and honor, and I have received the most precious love, what is there to complain about?

At that time, she was young, and she didn't understand, and she always thought that marrying Xiliang was the biggest sacrifice as a woman in exchange for the hot power she hoped for. It's just that I didn't expect that the short three years in the Xiliang Palace, thousands of miles away from Beijing, were the best time in my life.

Shizi, you are the person I love the most.

On September 27, the Empress Dowager Zhaohui issued another decree that the first emperor Gong Concubine Wen and the mother of King Wu Ye were the Empress Dowager Zhaoyi. The emperor deeply agreed, and announced it to the world on the same day.

Changle Palace is now Lin Yuan's residence. There are two palaces of longevity and Changle in the palace for the widow of the first emperor to live in, and the Empress Dowager Zhaode chose it because she liked the purple bamboo around the Changle Palace. Now the two queens are respected, but Shangguan Li is unwilling to live in Changle, she may feel that the Empress Dowager Zhaode has been sick and worried all her life, and she is not happy, so she chose the Longevity Palace. However, Lin Yuan happened to like Changle, and the two finally got along well.

That large piece of purple bamboo was not shoveled, and in late autumn, the small white bamboo stamens of the flocculent were scattered and fluttering.

Lin Yuan sat quietly in front of the window and copied Wang Xizhi's words. The first snow of the first product of the palace, who is in charge of the palace, came in and reported: "...... The King of Qi and the King of Chu have already received the order to Yangzhou City. The Empress Dowager Zhaoren sent a message from her side, saying that she was frail and sick, and it was not easy to live in the capital where the north wind was cold, and she would leave Beijing with the two princes in a few days. ”

Lin Yuan put down the pen and ink and said, "Got it." ”

He asked again, "Hasn't King Wu come back yet?" ”

"King Wu was blocked in Youzhou, and it was very tricky to say that it was a sneak attack by the enemy." Chu Xue said with a sneer on her face: "Whether it is an enemy army or not, we don't know." However, your move to help the Ye family as the queen mother is really a wonderful move, King Wu was originally hot on the throne and wanted to compete with our emperor, but now you have given the Ye family face, and the Shangguan family is still stumbling with him, so he has to fight with the Empress Dowager Zhaoren first. ”

Lin Yuan's expression didn't move. After a while, he said: "The mourning family looked at King Wu's posture and didn't seem to want to come back. If he wants to break through the defense line of the Shangguan family, the cost is too great, it is better to lead the troops in Beisai all the year round and be a soil emperor. ”

Chu Xue changed color when she heard this, and bit her lip and said: "In this way, it is even more inappropriate, King Wu is accumulating power by doing this, I don't know if there will be a bloody disaster in ten years." ”

Lin Yuan sighed deeply: "Don't say that King Wu, the Empress Dowager Zhaoren and the mother and son of the King of Chu and the King of Qi are the bigger hidden dangers." ”

Chu Xue bowed her head and was silent, Lin Yuan only felt exhausted for a while, and sleepiness hit the boundless.

She will not be afraid, when Tuoba Hong usurped the throne, she could win a peaceful and prosperous era. How could her Kiki not?

She and Kiki will eventually ...... Own the world.

Postscript 1

Shangguan Li soon left the capital.

Now it is the first year of Chongde, and the master of this world is the mother and son of the Lin family. Even if Shangguan Li has a prominent family background, he has already fallen behind. She didn't dare to stay in the palace and stay under Lin Yuan's nose, so in order to protect herself, she had to follow King Qi and them to Yangzhou.

Her eyes looked blankly at the people who were kowtowing around Feng Jia. She couldn't recognize her heart anymore - she didn't know whether to stay in the dark and wait for the next day to take the throne, or to stay away from strife and let go of everything?

For the sake of this empire and the stability of the throne, Tuoba Hong gave her such a emblem, naturally hoping that she would obey the edict and no longer provoke disputes.

Did she fall in love with this man? In his memory, his face has begun to blur. And how much sincerity does he have for himself?

But if there is no heart, why the last decree......

He didn't think she had time to see it.

In fact, she had already seen it the moment she shook it open. That was the will of the Queen of Death.

Postscript 2

In the fifth year of Chongde, the emperor got married, and the Empress Dowager Zhaohui was ordered to welcome the daughter of the Changning Emperor Ji and the lord of Kang Yi Weng Xiao as the queen.

The vassal kings of various places were ordered by the emperor to rush to Beijing for a banquet. The Empress Dowager Zhaoren, who had lived in Yangzhou for a long time, suddenly fell ill with a fever on the way back to Beijing and died in Cangzhou.
