"In the eighth year of Jiayou, Xin Wei, collapsed in the Funing Palace. The Empress of Ci Shengguang is not mourning. The next day, Xiao opened the east gate, and the auxiliary ministers entered the palace, and then decided to summon the prince to enter and tell the above Yan to drive. The queen passed on the will of the first emperor and ordered the prince Zhao Shu to take the throne. ”

Turning over the history books of later generations, there are different statements about the death of Zhao Zhen and Zhao Shu's accession to the throne, but whether the queen first summons the prince into the palace, or summons the auxiliary ministers the next day to discuss, there is one thing in common.

Empress Cao did not mourn immediately, but set the throne first.

Zhao Zhen did not have a will before he died, he died suddenly, and the will read out in public was written by Wang Qi, a scholar of Hanlin Academy.

And what happened on the night of Zhao Zhen's death, and how many secrets were buried by the dust of history and passed on to future generations, are ultimately a mystery.

··

Xin Yi didn't return overnight, and Fu Jiuqu had some bad premonitions in his heart.

In the early hours of the morning, people from the palace came to the eldest princess's mansion and preached the sage's message, "The official family collapsed in the Funing Palace, and the county king and the eldest princess were invited to enter the palace to mourn." ”

This is the official funeral.

Although Fu Jiuqu is dismissed at home, the eldest princess is Zhao Zhen's sister, and she is bound to be notified.

"Qu'er ......" Zhao Yuqing had red eyes, and sorted out her son's filial piety clothes with her own hands, and tears fell down as soon as she spoke.

"After entering the palace for a while, I will kowtow to your uncle a few more times, so that he will have a spirit in the sky and bless my son's family ......"

At this time, all Zhao Yuqing could think of was peace.

She hadn't called her son that way for a long time, and she was intimate and sour, like a cloud of sorrow pressing down, and she couldn't get rid of it.

Fu Jiuqu lowered his eyelids, "Mother...... It's going to be fine. ”

Zhao Yuqing nodded, "A few small ones, just stay in the mansion." I'll go back when it's time for the funeral. It's a mess right now, and if it collides with the Holy Sacrament, it's not ......"

Fu Jiuqu hummed lightly, "Take the first and second thoughts with you." ”

It's okay not to listen to this, as soon as she heard this, Zhao Yuqing couldn't help it, opened her mouth, but before she could make a sound, her throat was already choked, and tears burst down.

"Your uncle is really pitiful in this life, and the people can still have a son to send to his death, but he has to be alone and take the Huangquan Road......"

Fu Jiuqu was silent.

The first and second thoughts were already waiting outside the door, dressed in filial piety clothes, their eyes were red, and they stood solemnly.

Sannian was also dressed very plainly, Fu Jiuqu just glanced over, and before she could speak, she sensibly took the envy fish and the little raccoon flower.

"I will take care of my brother and sister, I am at home, you can go with confidence."

Fu Jiuqu nodded, touching the heads of the envy fish and the little raccoon flower.

"Listen to my sister at home."

The envy fish pursed his mouth and wanted to cry, but he was afraid of being laughed at, but he held back. The little raccoon flower was young, but she didn't care about it, and hugged Fu Jiuqu's leg with both hands.

"Daddy, I want Auntie...... I'm going to find A-Niang......"

"Good!" Fu Jiuqu picked up his daughter and kissed her on the forehead, "Be at home obediently, waiting for your father and mother to come back." ”

The little raccoon cries endlessly.

The envy fish, who has always been naughty, seems to have suddenly become sensible.

He stretched out his little arm, put his arms around his sister, patted her like a father and mother, and gently coaxed her.

"My brother won't go either, and my brother will accompany you at home, isn't it? We rode big horses...... Is it okay for my brother to let you ride a big horse? ”

Fu Jiuqu tilted his face to the side, "Let's go." ”

One and two thoughts silently followed on the side.

Sannian took his younger siblings and sent them to the carriage.

Waiting for the carriage to drive away, Fu Jiuqu opened the curtain and looked back.

Sannian held the little raccoon flower, led the envy fish, and stood at the door, the shadow getting smaller and smaller......

In my ears was the low cry of my mother.

There is a wife in the palace who is uncertain about her life and death.

His wife and children are all tied to his shoulders......

··

The sky was just bright, and the palace was brightly lit.

When Fu Jiuqu and his entourage entered the palace gate, they were greeted by an attendant dressed in snow-white filial piety clothes. The atmosphere was heavy, and the palace people seemed to be holding their breath when they walked.

When I approached the Funing Palace, I heard a burst of crying.

The new emperor ascended the throne and met with hundreds of officials in Dongying, and on the side of Funing Palace, the palace concubines were still mourning and crying.

One new and one old, two generations of emperors, you can see all living beings everywhere.

"The King of the County." Li Fu was waiting for Fu Jiuqu in front of the Funing Palace, his voice was hoarse, his face was pale, and his eyes were swollen like peaches.

He has been waiting for Zhao Zhen for so long, and his feelings are very deep, and when he saw Fu Jiuqu, he wiped his eyes and couldn't wait to cry again.

"The Queen Mother invited the county king to go to Kunning Hall for a talk."

The eldest princess frowned, "Let the county king go alone?" ”

Li Fudao: "Exactly. ”

The eldest princess glanced at Fu Jiuqu, "What about my daughter-in-law?" Where are the people? ”

Li Fu wanted to speak and stopped, not daring to face Fu Jiuqu's fierce gaze.

"When the king of the county arrives at the Funing Palace, everything will be known."

What happened in the palace last night, Li Fu is a person who understands. The eldest princess saw some clues on his face and was very uneasy, but Fu Jiuqu just comforted him and signaled one and two thoughts.

"Take care of Grandma."

The first thought and the second thought should be in unison, Zhao Yuqing watched his son leave with Li Fu, and hung the handkerchief so that he didn't cry.

··

The deep palace is silent.

The bleakness in the Kunning Hall and the wailing in the Funing Hall are different.

Cao Yuzhen sat in the empty main hall, without anyone waiting, a person was quiet, dressed in filial piety clothes with a straight back, very upright.

Li Fu walked to the door of the temple and bowed inside.

"Queen Mother, the King of Guangling County has arrived."

"Please come in." Cao Yuqing's voice was faint, and she could hardly hear her emotions.

Li Fu made a gesture of please, watched Fu Jiuqu enter the hall, did not follow up, but closed the door with his hand.

"The guilty minister knocks on the Queen Mother." Fu Jiuqu made a big salute, "I don't know if the Queen Mother has sent the guilty ministers to come, what are your orders?" ”

Cao Yuzhen pursed her lips, looked at him for a moment, and sighed and smiled.

"Ah Jiu, you are a child who grew up in the mourning family, and you are also a very smart person. In front of you, the mourners will not speak those foreign words. ”

Fu Jiuqu: "Thank you Queen Mother for your words." ”

Cao Yuzhen wiped her eyes and sighed.

"Now that your uncle is gone, the palace has become a pot of porridge, and everyone is looking at me, the queen mother. There are some things that your uncle can't handle, let alone me......"

Fu Jiuqu's eyes were slightly astringent, and the corners of his lips hooked a smile, "The queen mother refers to the case of the biological father of the criminal minister?" ”

Cao Yuqing: "It's not just this case. And the matter of Zhang Xiaoniang......"

Fu Jiuqu, who was still calm just now, immediately changed his expression when he heard Xin Yi's name.

"What does it have to do with Xin Yi?"

Cao Yuqing's expression was gentle, her words were clear, and she looked a little imposing: "From the onset of the official family to the death, in just one hour, this disease came strangely, and several medical officers who consulted in front of the emperor could not get rid of it, originally your little lady did not have to wade into this troubled water, but she suddenly entered the palace to ask the pulse of the official family, as soon as she came, the official family became ill, and the motive was very suspicious." At present, Zhang and a few medical officers have been taken into custody. They have a truthful explanation, and the last prescription taken by the official family is all from the hands of the little lady...... This matter is also difficult to mourn the family. ”

After a pause, she sighed slightly.

"The new emperor ascended the throne, and the court was unstable. This morning, the emperor was still clamoring for refusing to ascend the throne, and said that he would have to mourn for the first emperor for three years before he was willing to govern, and the mourning family had no way to take him. You see, he has no majesty in front of his ministers, and he can't say a word...... Although the mourning family has a bit of face, why don't you have a mountain of papers, and then meet the little lady entering the palace to ask for a doctor, don't say that the first emperor is not there, even if the first emperor is alive, it may not be able to suppress it. A widow in mourning family, how can she be born? ”

It's the questions asked, and it's the boulders that are pushed down.

Fu Jiuqu squinted slightly, "The Queen Mother said, how can I let my lady go." ”

Cao Yuqing looked at his calm eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and then pursed it, and his face changed several expressions.

In front of smart people, camouflage can only look ridiculous.

Cao Yuqing took a deep breath and looked at him quietly, a layer of wetness in her eyes.

"One life for another. Would you like to? ”

Cao Yuqing stared at him for a moment, leaning back in his chair weakly.

"Exchange your life for the life of the little lady. You can see the situation in the court more clearly than the mourners. If you don't give an explanation for this matter, the mourning family can't withstand the pressure. But if you die, I think everyone will no longer embarrass their orphans and widows. ”

Fu Jiuqu looked at the Queen Mother's indifferent face and chuckled.

"The Queen Mother has already thought about it, how can Weichen refuse?" His throat choked slightly, "Besides, I'm willing to do anything to save Eleven." ”

The hall was silent.

Cao Yuzhen propped her palm on the chair and rubbed it gently, as if she was thinking about something, and after a long time, she sighed with red eyes.

"You're a good boy. Go with confidence, what the ministers and the people want is an explanation, and it will not affect the eldest princess and your children. If someone behind you dares to bully them, the mourners will not allow it! ”

Fu Jiuqu: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Cao Yuqing's face darkened a little, "Ah Jiu, what else do you want, but at the same time, if you can meet it, the mourning family will meet you." ”

Fu Jiuqu laughed to himself.

"Don't let historians write books, don't let literati write, don't let historical memory. Can the Queen Mother do it? ”

Cao Yuqing looked at him in shock, and it took a long time to realize what he was asking for.

"Everyone wants to leave a name ...... the ages"

"Others are eternal, but what about me?" Fu Jiuqu smiled slowly, his voice was hoarse, "It's just a bad name." ”

Cao Yuzhen closed her eyes and sighed sadly.

"Okay, the mourning family promises you."

··

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother......"

Gao Miao's voice came from outside the door.

She had already come to Kunning Hall to see Cao Yuzhen three times, but each time she was blocked by the attendants.

"Get out of the way, I want to see the Queen Mother."

Gao Miao is calm and calm, even more so after staying in the East Palace, Cao Yuqing has never seen such a hoarse cry.

"Please spare Xin Yi, please...... I've never begged you for anything. Queen Mother, just this time, please......"

Cao Yuzhen looked at Fu Jiuqu.

"You see, there are many people who intercede for her. She's also a good boy. ”

Fu Jiuqu: "In the future, please ask the Queen Mother to take care of their mothers more." ”

This calm voice sounded inexplicably piercing the heart.

Cao Yuqing stroked the ring on his hand, calmed his breath, and then said: "Mourning family meeting, you go down first, go and kowtow to your uncle, and wait for your uncle to do your business after he is over." ”

Fu Jiuqu looked at Cao Yuqi with a long stroke.

Then, turn around and walk away.

When Fu Jiuqu went out, Gao Miao was kneeling in front of the hall, kowtowing constantly.

With each hit on his forehead, there was a loud bang.

Fu Jiuqu walked over slowly and stayed at Gao Miao's side for a moment.

"I thank the gentleman for his kindness, please go back."

Gao Miao looked up in a daze, looked at his wooden face, her lips trembled, and she was speechless for a while.

··

The imperial city was full of vegetarianism, and it looked white and desolate.

On the road from Kunning Hall to Funing Palace, Fu Jiuqu walked very slowly, and in the breeze of early April, he actually felt a little drunk.

His face was cold and calm, but in his mind there was a tsunami-like fight.

[Second child, what you just said to the Queen Mother, did you really want to die for the country? 】

[Who is the second child?] Tell me about everything on a first-come, first-served basis, right? 】

[It doesn't matter who is the second, what matters is ...... I don't want to be in this hellish place anymore, it's annoying to see you. I'm going out to move the rescuers......]

[At this point, I have to die. Now that you have the ability to reach the sky, you don't have to worry about me anymore, just make your own decisions. 】

[If you don't die, what can I decide? The door of life and death in Hump Ridge has been destroyed by you, where can I go to decide? I see you, you are deliberately blocking my entry and exit, trying to monopolize Xinyi. 】

[Are you afraid of death? 】

[I'm afraid, are you afraid? 】

[I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I won't be able to be with Eleven if I die. But if I don't die, it's her who dies. In order to stabilize the political situation, the Queen Mother threatened me with her life, and I had to obey. 】

[If you die, you will die.] The two of us can be regarded as living and dying together. So, if you are willing to bow your head, I may be kind, sacrifice my ego, and save you, but not necessarily? 】

[As long as eleven is good, I will allow you to be presumptuous, why not be the second child? 】

[Then it's a word.] You give me a chance to die, and I swear to rewrite the story! 】

What are you going to do? You are warned, don't mess around! 】

[I know, I know, you Tang Seng, you are a Tang monk, you have broken thoughts all day long, and you are annoyed to death. Don't play the prestige of the county king in front of me, what I do has nothing to do with you, I'm just for Eleven. 】

[You are not allowed to call Eleven.] 】

[Eleven, eleven, eleven, I'm mad at you. Not only is my name Eleven, but I also hold Eleven every day. How is it? What can you do with me? 】

Fu Jiuqu suddenly covered his chest and squatted down angrily.

Seeing this, Li Fu hurried two steps to support him.

"The king of the county...... You have to mourn. ”

"It doesn't matter." Fu Jiuqu slowly straightened up, his eyes red.

Li Fu saw that his face was ugly, thought about it, and said: "Don't worry too much about the county princess, the county princess didn't suffer anything, and the queen mother treated her very well." ”

Fu Jiuqu sneered, and his steps were very large.

Li Fu paused for a moment, sighed and chased after him.

The imperial calendar turned over page by page and turned into a thick history book.

On the first day of April in the eighth year of Jiayou, the prince Zhao Shu was the emperor, and on the second day of the first month, he rewarded the army, rewarded the food in the palace, and then sent envoys to the Liao State and Western Xia to report the funeral. The third secretary wrote to ask for 1.5 million yuan of money, 2.5 million horses of coarse silk and silk, and 50,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury to build the mausoleum of the first emperor and reward the ministers.

The new emperor complied one by one.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the new emperor suddenly fell ill and could not recognize people, so he spoke incoherently in the main hall, so he had to summon several medical officers who had been punished to the palace to consult him.

On the fifth day of the first month, the first emperor and queen were honored as the queen mother.

On the eighth day of the first month, Zhao Zhen was buried. The new emperor's illness worsened rapidly, and he ran wildly with his shouts, so that he could not salute. Seeing this, Zaichen hugged the new emperor, shouted to escort him, and asked the queen mother with his colleagues to handle government affairs together.

At this point, the Empress Dowager Cao listened to the government at the inner east gate.

On the tenth day of the first month, he ordered the Liao State to congratulate the Qianyuan Festival envoy and the Baojing Army Festival envoy Yeluqian and others to write a book to pay tribute to Zhao Zhen's coffin. On the top of the east steps, he met the new emperor and ordered the secretary of the gate to present the letter of state and the tribute.

On the twelfth, the Jun Gao clan of Jingzhao County was established as the queen.
