Chapter 100: Repentance
There were four eunuchs kneeling at the gate of the palace.
"How did I get here?" He turned to leave, but suddenly stopped.
"What are you doing here? He asked the four eunuchs.
"Go back to the emperor. It was the evil boy who ordered us to guard here. ”
"Shou what? What's inside? ”
"Yes...... It is the coffin of the Zhang family after the abolition. Gongzi said that if the emperor did not come tomorrow, he would let the minions find someone to come and bury her in the back mountain. ”
Meng Chang remembered that Yun Moxi had said that Zhang Taihua's body was here, could it be that the monster was really her? He originally issued an edict after the abolition and buried her with concubine etiquette.
Could it be that she really didn't die back then?
He hesitated, he was afraid that he would soon die, and what else was to be afraid of, so he mustered up the courage to walk in.
The eunuchs and palace maids in the back looked at each other in horror and trembled with fright, but they had to grit their teeth and follow up.
Looking at the appearance of the courtyard, everything in front of me is like a world away.
When he first ascended the throne, he had no real power, and there was only Zhang Taihua in the harem, and there were no other concubines, and most of the time was spent here.
Back then, the two sang with each other and loved each other sweetly.
The young self was full of revenge and ambition.
How beautiful it was then, but that time can never go back, the beauty of this life is like that gorgeous meteor, fleeting and never appearing again.
Looking at the Cuiwei Palace in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh sadly.
Gone...... Everything is gone, and now this Shu Kingdom is almost gone.
He staggered to the main hall.
There was a coffin parked in the house, which had not yet been covered.
The black coffin in this dilapidated and abandoned palace is becoming more and more weird.
Meng Chang is no longer as scared as before at this time, the country is ruined, and he doesn't even know how long he can live, and what else is to fear.
Walk in and hold on to the coffin and look inside.
Although he knew that it was the monster lying inside, he was still shocked when he saw it again, and he almost turned around and ran away in fright.
The corpses inside were cleaned up, changed into luxurious queen's palace clothes, their hair was combed, and their faces were cleaned and dressed up a little.
At least it can be seen that it is a woman lying inside.
It's just that this thin skull-like face, the terrifyingly distorted face, and the hair, although combed, are all dry white hair.
Meng Chang was bold, and when he looked closely, he could still vaguely identify it as Zhang Taihua.
After all, she had been with each other for several years, and her face used to be his favorite scenery.
Now that it is described as a monster, it can still be seen.
"You're really not dead? You really haven't died after all these years? He muttered, he couldn't believe the body wasn't dead if it wasn't already decomposing. Thinking of the words Yun Moxi said, I recalled those good days.
His hands holding the coffin began to tremble, "I'm sorry for you. So you've been looking for me in your dreams all these days, haven't you? Are you going to take me away? But I don't want to die, I don't want to go with you. Go on your own! Don't pester me again. ”
He whispered, not daring to look at the miserable face again, turned around and stumbled out.
The eunuch and palace maid who were waiting in the courtyard were already afraid, and everyone was frightened when they saw him running out in a hurry, and hurriedly rushed forward to help the half-paralyzed Meng Chang to retreat to the imperial study.
After returning to the imperial study and lying down for a long time, Meng Chang had the strength to sit up. I saw the pile of old things that were still on the bookcase.
Ever since Yun Moxi had been placed there, he had not dared to touch it.
Stood up and walked over, sat on the chair and looked at the blood book in front of him, stared at it for a long time, and finally took it with trembling hands.
After reading it, I was already in tears.
Leaning weakly on the chair, the blood book fell to the ground.
He shut himself up in the imperial study, did not see anyone, did not eat or drink and fell asleep, but he had nightmares and nightmares.
I slept for a whole day and a night before I woke up.
When I opened my eyes and stared at the dark room, although I was bitter and remorseful in my dream, I found that it was even more cruel when I returned to reality.
After sitting in a daze for a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Someone! ”
"What does the emperor command?" The palace people who were dozing outside the door rushed in.
"Summoning civil and military officials to the court."
"Now?" The palace people were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Obey the order!" ”
An hour later, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the Zhengyang Palace.
Meng Chang sat on the dragon chair.
The civil and military officials who were called up in the middle of the night were sleepy-eyed and looked at him quietly, not knowing what was going on.
He touched the dragon chair he was sitting on, sighed infinitely, raised his head and said loudly: "Today is the last day. Whether to fight or surrender, you have to make a decision. What else do you have to play? ”
"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Li Hao knelt down and shouted with a crying voice: "Come down!" ”
The ministers also knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Descend!" ”
He sighed sadly, "I and the first emperor, brocade clothes and jade food have supported the Zhongqing family for decades. Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, when they are in danger, no one is willing to lead the troops to the east for the Shu State, even if they put an arrow to the east. Even if I want to defend it, who can defend it for me? ”
The civil and military officials all bowed their heads in shame.
"The death of Shu at the hands of me is that I am sorry for the first emperor, and I am even more sorry for the people of Shu. That's it...... That's it!" He muttered to himself and burst into tears.
"Li Hao!"
"The minister is here!"
"It's up to Aiqing to fix this table!" He hadn't been so awake in years.
"Minister...... Obey! Li Hao burst into tears.
The Chinese martial arts officials of the hall sobbed and sobbed, and they were sad.
Meng Chang said loudly: "I want to make the last holy decree: the Zhang clan was not struck by lightning ten years ago and died, but was killed by traitors. Now restore her title of queen and bury the queen's mausoleum. After a hundred years, he will be buried in the tomb with me. ”
Although the hundred officials below felt that this matter was incredible, after all, it was ten years ago, and everyone whispered in disbelief. But at this time, who is still in the mood to delve into this matter.
Finally, everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!" ”
After all the arrangements were announced, he went down to the court.
Meng Chang returned to the dormitory, Concubine Xu Hui was already waiting inside, and she was well informed about the news in the court.
As soon as Concubine Xu Hui saw him, she knelt down and cried with rain.
"Aifei, what's wrong with you?" He asked weakly.
"Why did you suddenly announce the restoration of the name of the abolished Zhang family today? They have all been dead for ten years, why should a person who has been cursed by heaven be the queen? ”
"This is what I owe her...... That's the only thing I can do for her. He sighed wearily and leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
"The concubines have served Your Majesty, and they have been in charge of the harem for so many years, and they have no merit and hard work. At the beginning, because the Zhang family lost the queen's jade seal after the abolition, the courtiers objected under the pretext that the emperor had not appointed a concubine as the queen. Now that he wants to establish a queen, why does he not want to set up a concubine for a dead man? ”
"I have been pampering and pampering you all these years. Now that the Shu Kingdom is gone, what is the use of the rear position? ”
"It works! The concubine has worked hard for ten years, but is it not as good as a dead man who has been punished by heaven? She just couldn't swallow it.
"You are not allowed to say that." Meng Chang opened his eyes and looked at her, "Taihua's friendship with me is not comparable to you, why are you the queen?" ”
