However, before the queen mother's decree was issued, the news came that the noble concubine He Jiayu was pulled by Concubine Yuan Aiwei and jumped into the pond and died.

It turned out that on weekdays, He Jiayu was crazy because of Yuan Airose, and always guarded against her, but she didn't expect that after the wake, she was on the way back to Changning Palace, but she was suddenly knocked out by Yuan Airose, entangled and pulled and jumped into the pond. Because it was dark in the middle of the night, the palace people couldn't rescue them, and when they were fished up, both of them were out of breath.

Moreover, after fishing it up, it was found that Yuan Airose had already had a stone tied to her body, and her hand was tightly pulling He Jiayu, and she couldn't separate it no matter what.

Obviously, he has long had the intention of dying with He Jiayu, and has been looking for the right time.

Because they couldn't be separated, the palace people had to ask for an order to put her in the coffin together.

At that time, the palace people who were with him were all killed with rods because of the ineffective protector.

Because of the secret of the palace, he was given the title of voluntary burial, and his family was rewarded.

And Zhao Yaoying listened to the queen mother's decree, and shook her head vigorously.

"As early as when I married the emperor, the concubine made up her mind that life cannot be at the same time, and death must be at the same time." Zhao Yaoying's face showed a touch of perseverance, "The emperor's first seven soul nights are when the concubine's life is broken. The concubines are not better than the queen, there are children who are concerned, there is a father in the world, the concubines in this world, there is no nostalgia, the emperor is gone, and most of the people who go with it are forced, and may not be able to serve the emperor well, the concubines go, they will do their best, so as not to worry about the emperor going here, no one knows the cold and the heat, and the waiting. ”

Sun Qingyang persuaded her bitterly, "If a person dies like a lamp going out, it is the emperor's great line, and a hundred years later it will be a pile of white bones, Concubine Xian, don't believe those words, it is serious to live well, our sisters, in the palace in the future, can still be a companion, the children of this palace, aren't they the same as yours?" Jinying has been close to you since she was a child, how can you be ruthless? ”

"This palace has told you before, in case the queen mother refuses to issue a decree to avoid martyrdom, there is also a way for you to go out of the palace like Concubine Shu, Sister Zhao, ants are still stealing, you are only in your early thirties now, why bother to take this road? The palace and the emperor sang together, and the couple had a deep love and did not go with it, so why did you make a sacrifice for life and martyrdom in vain? ”

At the mention of Jinying, tears appeared in Zhao Yaoying's eyes, but soon she chuckled and said, "Jinying has your own mother here, what are the concubines worried about?" You said that after people die, there is no other world, and you have not died, how do you know? You can't go up with the emperor, it's not that you don't want to, it's because you have children to worry about, and the concubines have no worries, so you can naturally act rashly. No matter what, don't persuade the concubine, the concubine has made up her mind and will not change it. If you remember the love of our sisters, after the concubine is buried, bury the concubine closer to the emperor. In the past, with you, the emperor always had mercy and no love for his concubines, but now that the concubines go down to accompany him, he must be able to give his concubines more time......"

After persuading her for a while, Zhao Yaoying still refused to change her words, Sun Qingyang saw that her heart was difficult to solve, and she seemed to have the tendency to go mad, on the one hand, she asked the palace people to keep an eye on her, lest she commit suicide, and on the other hand, summoned the imperial doctor to treat her.

However, on the night of Emperor Xuande's first seven souls, Zhao Yaoying still sneaked to his coffin and committed suicide by taking poison.

The queen mother and the queen felt their loyalty, affection, and their nickname was pure and quiet, and their names were listed after the concubines, and their relatives were praised, and even the concubine Zhao, who passed away a few years ago, was posthumously sealed.

More than 20 days before Xuande's death, Guo Ai entered the palace, and was also in the case of martyrdom, a few days before receiving the holy decree, she bribed the palace maid with a lot of money and sent a letter to her fiancΓ© who had sworn by the mountains and seas. The letter states that many versions of "Lianlian" have been interpreted by later generations.

Lianlian, you and I agreed for a hundred years, if anyone dies at the age of ninety-seven, why not wait on the bridge for three years.

Lianlian, between the harmonious world of Qin Se, Meng Pozhuang has been bitter for three years, and the coarse tea and light rice are sweeter.

Even if you don't know, a bridge locks a wisp of soul, life and death will not be forgotten, and you will stop and go for another three years.

Even if you are connected, the two love each other are happy and the two hearts are dependent, the love is not envious, and the Huangquan Road is not at a loss.

Lianlian, the three lives of the stone set the three worlds, the upper and poor blue fall down the Yellow Spring, and the reincarnation hall of the world......

It is rumored that Guo Ai's fiancΓ© did not want her to wait too long on the Nai He Bridge, and after crying, he hanged himself at home the next day and martyred her.

And Guo Ai, after knowing the date of death in the palace, left a farewell to his parents, and wrote the lyrics: "There are a few shorts, but there are more shortcomings." Life is like a dream, and death is also a feeling. I am the first to return to the family, and I am ashamed to lose my filial piety. The heart is sad and unavoidable, and if it is, it can be mourned. After writing this bloody and tearful "Desperate Speech", she threw her pen on the ground, stretched her neck in the rope hanging on the beam, and shouted: "Mother, I'll go!" Mother, I'll go ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked away from the small wooden bed by the attendant.

After the death of Emperor Xuande, a total of eleven concubines were martyred, and all the concubines were posthumously named concubines.

He Guifei, quiet and quiet. Concubine Zhao Xian, Zhen Chunjing; Concubine Wu Hui, Zhen Zhenshun; Jiao Shufei, Zhuang Zhuangjing; Cao Jingfei, Zhen Zhuangshun; Xu Shunfei, Zhen Zhenhui; Yuan Lifei, Gong Ding; Concubine Gong, Concubine Gong, Zhen Zhenjing; Concubine Li Chong, obedient; He Chengfei, Su Xu.

Those once charming women, in the flood of history, only left such a few names, their stories, by the wind and sand, gradually submerged.

The winter of the tenth year of Xuande is the coldest winter in Sun Qingyang's memory, everywhere in the palace is white, the cold white marble pillar is tied with white silk flowers, the porch, window lattice, and lintel are all wrapped with white brocade, and the tables and chairs are covered with white brocade...... The palace man's clothes and hairpin ornaments on her head were white, and even her face was transparent and pale.

Coupled with a few heavy snowfalls in the first month, the entire Forbidden City became a frozen world.

If it weren't for Jinxiu and Qi Zhen's little hands, they would always give her a little warmth when she was cold to the bones, she really felt that this world was like Zhao Yaoying said, there is nothing to love in life.

This year, she lost her lover, lost her friends, and even, lost her enemies.

And the days are slowly passing in memories and loneliness.

*

Orthodox fourteenth year, August.

"The Queen Mother, emergency military report, report...... The emperor was attacked by Wara at Tumubao, the Ming army was annihilated, and the emperor was captured. ”

Listening to Shuangzhi's words, the teacup in Sun Qingyang's hand fell to the ground and shattered with a "bang".

"What do you say? The emperor is him, he ......" Sun Qingyang raised his hand tremblingly, "What's wrong with him, Your Majesty?" ”

From the moment she learned that her son ignored her obstruction and listened to Wang Zhen's royal expedition in private, Sun Qingyang's heart had not been safe for a day, and she was stunned when she heard this sudden news.

Looking at the white-haired Queen Mother, Shuangzhi gritted her teeth and said again, "Although Wang Zhen, who brought disaster to the country and the people, was hammered to death by the guard general Fan Zhong, the British Duke was shot to death by random arrows, and Wang Zuo, Kuang Wei and other adults went to the rescue...... As a result, the army was defeated, and the emperor was captured in Tumu Fort. ”

Sun Qingyang staggered, almost fell to the ground, she borrowed the hand of the frost branch, forced her mind, sat back on the chair, she knew that at this time, she must not fall, she must not mess up.

Shao leaning, she ordered: "Summoning Lord Xuanwu into the palace, take the edict of the mourning family, order the Jinyi Guard to command the envoy and the commander of the forbidden army, and the commander of the five gates to go quickly, be sure to strictly guard the city gate, the whole city is under martial law, if someone hears the wind and moves, the formation is chaotic, disturbs the people's hearts, and will not be spared." ”

"Spread the decree of the mourning family, and let the king of Yu quickly summon the ministers to the Qianqing Palace to discuss state affairs."

The ministers also heard the news that the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen was captured, because when the emperor went on an expedition, he took away most of the capable ministers and generals in the court, so that the people who stayed behind suddenly heard the news, and they had a sense of panic all day, except for a few, most of them demanded that Wang Zhen's henchmen be severely punished, and move Kyoto to the south, so as not to be too close to the capital and too late to resist the enemy.

Sun Qingyang looked at Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, and asked: "The emperor personally marched and ordered the king of servants to stay in the house, I don't know what the king of servants has." ”

Zhu Qiyu was already panicked at this time, where did he come up with any ideas, and only said: "Your Excellency has a point, this Beijing city is too close to the Tile Thorn army, why don't we just ...... I wonder what the queen mother suggests? The word "moving the capital" that I wanted to say was forced back by Sun Qingyang's eyes.

Sun Qingyang saw that he had changed his words, and only then did he coldly glance at the ministers and slowly speak, "Punish Wang Zhen's henchmen, that's for sure, but I'm not in a hurry." King Yu is ordered by the emperor to live and guard, and he should have listened to the ancestral motto of our Ming Dynasty: 'The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the monarch dies in Sheji.' 'How can you imitate the king of the Song Dynasty and suffer the shame of Najingkang again? You are all the pillars of the country, the more you come to such a moment of crisis, the more you have to show your role, if we have no idea, what should we do to call the people of the world? Moving the capital can not be mentioned again, one step back, it will be a hundred steps back, this retreat, is death. ”

"Thinking about that thorn, it's just a barbarian race, starting from the great grandfather, how can they ever take advantage of us? This time, if it weren't for the traitor Wang Zhen who misled the country, instigated and hijacked the emperor, disregarded the dissuasion of his ministers, and decided to recruit in person, and because he intended to return to his hometown and province, he delayed the military plane, why would the emperor suffer such a catastrophe? How could our Ming army collapse on all fronts? It's just that if you lose a war, everyone will mess up their positions, isn't it like that Wang Zhen, who has become a traitor to the country, and she will be happy in vain? ”

Seeing that the ministers were ashamed, Sun Qingyang said again: "Now, in addition to managing your own one-third of an acre of land, you must focus on the overall situation, and you must not abandon the capital and move south. ”

"The Queen Mother taught her a lesson!" The ministers chimed in.

Empress Dowager Sun's gaze swept over the ministers one by one, "The mourning family remembers that the people who tried to prevent the emperor's personal expedition were Kuang Yu, the secretary of the military department, Yu Qian, and Wang Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, where are they?" ”

Some courtiers reported that after Yu Qian and others learned the news, they went to prepare grain and grass, so they did not have time to enter the palace.
