The emperor knelt on the carpet, and the queen mother hugged the emperor and wept faintly.

"The Queen Mother, the child is not filial, which makes the Queen Mother frightened."

The Queen Mother touched the emperor's yellow pus-drenched face, and whimpered: "Son, which one of the mothers doesn't worry about their children?" You have been the most sensible and obedient since you were a child. ”

The emperor buried his face in the queen mother's dress and cried: "Mother, my son is sensible and obedient, I just don't want my mother to worry about me, but my son is confused, and in the end, I still let my mother worry about me." ”

The Queen Mother patted the emperor's forehead, cried and said, "Son, we ladies don't say such things." Mother is willing to do anything for you. Don't worry, you take good care of your illness, your mother is fighting for the old bones, and she won't let their mother and son bully you again. It's my mother's late arrival, so my son has been wronged. ”

The emperor broke away from the queen mother's touch and shook his head desperately: "Mother, Yuxian doesn't want to be the emperor anymore." ”

The Queen Mother stumbled, just squatted on the chair behind her, and said sadly: "Child, are you sick and confused? ”

The emperor stepped forward and hugged the queen mother's knees, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, my son's heart, I can't hide it from you, my mother has long known that my son is unwilling to be the emperor." ”

The Queen Mother said distressedly: "Mother knows, you have been tired of these trivial things in the past few years. But nothing is easy in the world. It's not easy to be an emperor, and it's not easy to be a common man. Mother, the queen mother and queen mother who enjoy all the wealth in the world, if the mother herself does not say, who knows that the mother is walking on thin ice every day, like sitting on pins and needles? Children, people will encounter difficulties, grit your teeth, this hurdle is over, you want to open. ”

The emperor still shook his head blankly, "Mother, my son is really tired and never wants to be an emperor again." ”

"My mother has already seen it. Mother should have enlightened you earlier, and it wouldn't have made my son come this far. ”

"Mother, this is the edict of the Zen position, I will give up the position of emperor to the sixth brother." The emperor handed the edict of the abdication on the ground to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother didn't accept the edict, and directly hugged the emperor's bloody hands and said, "Xian'er, my mother doesn't agree!" ”

"Mother, let me go!"

"Xian'er, my mother won't let you go."

"Mother, my son is really tired of it! If he doesn't leave, his son still has to rely on swallowing clouds and spitting fog every day to forget the troubles in his heart. The son is a man, not a ghost. The son wants to be a living person. ”

The Queen Mother had long expected this day, and she had been worried about it for so many years, but she still suffered from this day, although she had already thought about the worst plan in her heart, but when she heard the emperor say it herself, the Queen Mother was still too much to bear.

"My son, the royal family of all dynasties, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. Your bitterness, my mother is clear in her heart. My son is the Son of Heaven, so he should take care of the billions of people in the world on behalf of God. ”

"Mother, don't say it again. The son really doesn't want to be this emperor anymore. ”

The Queen Mother sat on the chair abruptly, suddenly stood up, pulled the emperor through the west side hall, the main hall, and across the main hall, came to the east side of the hall and the East Warm Pavilion, standing in front of the carved partition, the Queen Mother pointed to the portrait of the emperor with tears and said: "You look at your father, you tell him this, if he agrees, my mother will let you go." ”

"Mother, my father has been dead for ten years, how can I agree?"

"You promised your father before the collapse of the dragon that you would be a good emperor who worked hard, have you forgotten? Now that you are gone, how will my mother explain to your father in the future? ”

"Promise my father's words, the son has not forgotten, and the son will not dare to forget for a moment!"

"Son, you can't do this to your mother. No. The Queen Mother's thin right hand kept beating her chest. Now the war in the west is uncertain, the rebellion in Fujian has not yet been cleared, the plague in Beijing has been stretched for three months, and it has not been suppressed for a long time. It was the time of internal and external troubles, you escaped like this, leaving such a mess to your adoptive mother who raised you for 12 years, can you bear it? You left, and someone else happened to snatch the seat, what should you do if you call your mother? ”

"Mother, the son is not filial, the son really can't go on, the son will give the throne to the sixth brother, and will never give it to them."

"From ancient times to the present, the son succeeds the father, the brother ends the brother, Yuyan is your brother, and there is no heir so far. The royal family will definitely support Hongxuan, the son of the king of Dong'an. Can you bear to let your mother, a concubine and an old woman, go to fight with the entire royal family? ”

"Mother, my son ascended the throne at the age of twelve, the enthronement ceremony was washed by the heavy rain and the dignity was gone, the throne has not yet been secured, the Yangtze River is in an emergency, the Yellow River bursts, a flood, Zeguo is thousands of miles, the son followed the ministers of the Zichen Palace to sleep at night and finally settled on both sides of the Yellow River. The Yangtze River broke again, and it was a month of sleeplessness, and finally blocked the mouth of the Yangtze River, who knew that several fortresses on the Great Wall in the north were attacked by Nudan again, and the son did not know what the family and country were in the world, and the Queen Mother had no choice, so she endured the pain of marrying Sister Huichang to Nudan and her relatives for the sake of the overall situation. In the second year of Yong'an, the fraud case in the field actually implicated my Taifu, obviously there was someone else, but I found the Taifu to be a substitute for the dead ghost, I am the king of a country, and I can't help my teacher? ”

"Son, if you didn't hand over the Taifu at that time, how could you calm the boiling discussion in the court?"

"Mother, he is his son's teacher, his son followed him to enlightenment when he was four years old, and he has been following Taifu for more than his father."

"Mother knows, that incident hurt you. However, if you don't hand over your Taifu at that time, how can Wu Anhou and Liu Ge Lao give up? ”

The emperor shook his head in despair and whined: "And my own uncle, who was also dismissed in that fraud case and died violently a few months later, he was assassinated, assassinated. ”

The Queen Mother said sadly: "These mothers know. ”

"Mother, I am the emperor, and the closest people around me can't protect me, what does it mean for me to be the emperor?"

"Child, you are the emperor, you have to pretend not only to be around you, but also to pretend to be your family and country, and the temporary forbearance is for your future ambitions. Sometimes, in expediency, there are trade-offs. ”

The emperor didn't know whether he listened or not, as soon as the queen mother spoke, the emperor shook his head, "Mother, you spare the child, I won't do this emperor again." This time the child unfortunately contracted the plague, and fortunately was cured, this is God let me be reborn, the son thought about it, and decided to give the Zen position to the sixth brother. ”

"Kid, are you all ready?" The queen mother's hand was deeply sunk into the emperor's bright yellow dragon robe.

"My son has planned to hide from the world and escape from the world."

The Queen Mother burst into tears, "Hide from the sky and cross the sea? Escape? Is it really that hard to be an emperor? ”

The emperor looked at the queen mother and said: "The royal family knows that I am infected with red face herpes, and I have also been seen by them today, and they also calculated that I will not live for a few days, so they came to force the palace to establish an heir." ”

"Your Majesty, now that you have been cured, can't you change your mind?" Prince Rong sat down next to him.

"After tonight, or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, those two mothers and sons will gather to rebel against the camp, and they will definitely force the palace again, and when the time comes, I will gather the courtiers and relatives above the third grade of the court to announce my will. I died of the plague, naturally I can't leave the whole corpse to desecrate the royal tomb, I must be cremated, and when the time comes, I will find a corpse outside, burn it in front of the civil and military officials, and bury it in the imperial mausoleum. There is no such person as me Wu Yuxian in this world. ”

"Son, it's easy for you to think about it. Is it difficult that they will be so tied up, fighting for the throne for more than ten years, and let go easily? The Queen Mother shook her head in denial.

The dim candle flame reflected on the emperor's broken face, generally the hope of rebirth, and the yin of the burning jade, "Mother, do you think the third brother's child can do the world of our martial arts?" ”

The Queen Mother let go of the emperor and asked policely: "It's been more than 30 years since this incident, and almost everyone who knows it has been wiped out, how did you know?" Who told you that? Is he alive? ”

The emperor shook his head and said flatly: "Mother, my son found out unintentionally. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "It's not easy to say, who will believe the ugly thing?" For more than 30 years, all who can testify are dead. ”

Prince Rong looked at the Queen Mother and the Emperor with a confused expression, not knowing what the two were talking about.

"Mother, you have been secretly protecting Concubine Dong'an's sister for decades, Concubine Yu was a witness to this ugly incident back then, didn't Concubine Jade leave anything to her mother before she died?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said calmly: "My mother became the queen twelve years ago, and she became the queen mother ten years ago, and we have only talked about this matter once." ”

"What did Concubine Jade say?"

She said that she had been taken care of by her mother for many years, and she would definitely not be unkind, and if Concubine Dong'an really rebelled one day, she would definitely persuade Concubine Dong'an to turn back. If Concubine Dong'an can keep to herself, the two of them are sisters, and she is unwilling to do anything to be sorry for her sister. ”

The emperor asked, "Is there really nothing left?" Concubine Dong'an was grinding her own sister like that, but Concubine Yu didn't leave anything? ”

"No, my mother thought that she would leave something behind before she died, but there was nothing. Mother let Concubine Yu live for decades, just to help her mother at the most critical time. Although nothing remained, it was finally ten years of peace. It can be regarded as the blessing of the Jade Princess. The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with tears of despair. Without the Jade Princess, the original eighty percent chance of winning is now only thirty percent. ”

"Mother, you have thirty percent in your hands, and your son has thirty percent in your hands, adding up to sixty percent."

"Son, thirty percent of the mother's hand is just placed in the mother's hand, not in the palm of the mother's hand."

The emperor pulled the confused Prince Rong to kneel under the queen mother's knees. Put Prince Rong's hand and his own hand in the hands of the Queen Mother. He said quietly: "My son has a trump card in his hand. It's also that my mother pinched it in her hand before and never showed it up. ”

The Queen Mother's dark face flashed with many convulsions, and she looked at the emperor with sword eyes, and said earnestly: "Mrs. Feng? ”

The emperor nodded, replied to the Queen Mother's suspicions, and said: "Mother, the discord between the Marquis of Wu'an and his wife is already a matter known to the government and the opposition. The death of Wu'anhou's favored concubine has long been no news. Back then, Wu Anhou beat Mrs. Feng's sister-in-law violently, and the sister-in-law died of grief and anger, which was the result of the fourth aunt's instigation. Mrs. Feng originally couldn't get used to the fourth aunt, and with the hatred of losing her son, the two were in the same house together. You must destroy the other party before you can give up! ”
