Chapter 207: The Childhood Friend Finally Passed Away
One thing, crying for an hour, is enough.
In fact, a long, long time ago, when she was not a queen, she was just a girl named Xiaonan, so she said it to a boy who was not an emperor at that time, but just a prince.
"It's only one hour, let's cry as much as you want. The immature two pairs of little hands clasped each other tightly, and the two pure and immaculate hearts began when Lang rode a bamboo horse and went around the bed to make green plums.
"But when the hour comes, you can't cry anymore, and I won't like you if you cry any more. I only like manhood. ”
Xiao Nan, who was only eight years old, said such things.
Then the emperor was afraid.
Xiao Nan ignores me, so what should I do? How can I live?
It is said that the boy is sensible late, and indeed, the emperor is sensible very late.
Now, Xiao Nan is really gone and ignores him.
What to do?
You have to live.
If you are dead, you will remember, and if you are alive, you will live well.
This sentence suddenly popped into the emperor's head, and he couldn't remember which book he had read about it, and he couldn't remember who he had listened to. At the moment, he felt that this sentence made a lot of sense.
But, I still want to cry!
Raise your head slightly, take a deep breath, focus on your breathing, and think about what happened in the mourning hall.
An Shi also stood up, and seeing that the emperor strongly suppressed the grief in his heart, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask." ”
The Emperor snorted.
An Shi said: "In the second half of the scientific examination, the minister has an idea. ”
"Master An, please speak. The Emperor turned his head.
An Shi thought for a while and said, "I think we should add riding and archery items to the scientific expedition." The Western Regions and the North are all nations on horseback, and our Great Song Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, although the country is now rich and the people are strong, and the four seas are afraid of the military might of our Great Song Dynasty. But objectively speaking, the weakest part of our Great Song Dynasty is still cavalry, and our armor on the battlefield is still dominated by infantry. Of course, our elite cavalry is still the strongest in the world at present, there is no doubt about it. However, looking at the people of our nation, on the whole, they are not as strong as the people of the Western Regions and the northern countries. So I wondered if we could add a riding and archery event to the scientific expedition. ”
After hearing this, the emperor said, "What does Master An mean is that it is the same as the exam in Qingtian Pavilion, and a physical fitness subject such as archery and royalty?"
"Yes. An Shi nodded.
The emperor said: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, and some officials of the Ministry of Rites have also mentioned it. But since ancient times, there has been no physical fitness in the imperial examination, and I am afraid that if it is suddenly added, the students will be dissatisfied. ”
An Shi said: "That's the same, but you can issue an edict first and ask the opinions of students all over the world, what does Your Majesty think?"
The emperor did not speak, did not say anything.
In fact, the emperor knew that this was just because Master An saw that he was sad, so he casually said a topic to divert his attention.
But after all, this is also a problem. New Lewen
So the two of them really stood there and discussed.
In the entire Qingtian Pavilion, the only great master who has entered the palace the most times is the only one.
The reason why it is not Liu Shi is probably because Liu Shi has a short temper, and if he accidentally says the wrong thing when talking to the emperor, it will affect Qingtian Pavilion.
Therefore, every time the Holy Lord summons the great master into the palace, it is an expert who enters the palace. Liu Shi is also very self-aware and does not go.
The Manchu civil and military who came outside to mourn all knelt there and kowtowed and cried.
There are many elderly people who have returned to their hometowns for many years, and they also apply to enter the palace to mourn at this time. There are also many old people who are far away, and they are on their way to Beijing at the moment, and most of them play the chapter on the same day, and they will go on the road on the same day, regardless of whether the emperor allows them to enter the palace to mourn.
But the emperor approved it all.
"Queen Mother, why did you leave us behind, the people need you. ”
"Niangniang, what about Chaoyangmen's charity next year. ”
"Mother, you are so ruthless. ”
As for Concubine Liu, who had to wear linen and filial piety, her eyes were swollen from crying. There is no manners, the hair is messy, and the rouge gouache on the face has long been washed away by tears. Kneeling beside him, his eyes blank.
Many people who came to mourn would glance at Liu Guifei, and then secretly thought in their hearts, is this Liu Guifei so sad? Don't say that Liu Guifei and the queen are not compatible, even if they are sisters, they will not be sad like this, right? It's a bit strange and a little fake.
Of course, these ulterior thoughts can only be thought about in the heart.
As for those high-ranking officials with higher realms, they don't care whether the queen dies of natural illness or is murdered.
What they care about is that there is one less good person in the court, a woman who really puts the emperor in her heart and the people in her heart. Without one of her, the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty are still so strong, but if there is no one less of him, the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty will be even stronger.
However, since the benevolent and generous queen mother has been mourned, it is useless to be sad, no matter how many people or how many tears are shed, it cannot change the fact that the mother has died. Then, there is no need to be sad.
What we have to do now is to handle the funeral of the mother properly.
Let the last journey of the mother be smooth and steady.
Everyone is inherently dead, this is unavoidable, the only difference is who comes first and who comes last. No one can live forever in this world.
These important ministers of the imperial court, the six departments and nine qing, and other high-ranking officials, have now turned around.
With these people here, it is difficult to handle this funeral.
The Lord of the Sake Sacrifice and the Book of Rites were the supreme commanders of the funeral, so of course they were sitting here at this time.
Lord Sacrificial Wine looked at Liu Guifei, who was kneeling, and exchanged glances with the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu immediately understood, walked up to Liu Guifei and bowed down and said, "Liu Guifei should go back and rest first, you haven't closed your eyes until last night, your body is important." ”
Liu Guifei looked at Lord Shangshu with blank eyes, and said, "Lord Shangshu, I really can't sleep, I want to accompany the queen mother here." Wow...", he began to cry again. At this moment, Liu Guifei couldn't cry anymore, and she had almost lost her voice because of crying for a long time. I'm afraid it won't be slow down if it doesn't stop for ten days and half a month.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Concubine Niangniang, now is not the time for you to be sad, the emperor is also very sad, you should go to comfort the emperor, instead of crying here all the time." For the sake of the people and the Great Song Dynasty, Niangniang also has to suppress the pain. ”
Liu Guifei was stunned when she heard this, was silent for a while, nodded and said hoarsely: "What Lord Shangshu said is reasonable, I can't cry here, I want to take care of the emperor..."
Lord Shangshu walked back and said with a clear expression: "Lord Sacrificial Wine, Concubine Liu really regards the queen as a sister, and the sisterhood is deep." ”
