Meng Ruji felt that she knew that she was dying, since she entered the summer, these internal organs were like frying or frying, and she stayed up for a few days, and waited for the official nephew to come back, and gave her maiden nephew two petty officials, and she had no regrets.

It was July 15, she had run out of oil, the maids and attendants of the palace knelt on the ground, and the two concubines of Zheng and Wei also sat on the side, and Zhao Guan's family rushed over and said, "Big lady, do you have any other orders?" ”

People are about to die, her spiritual platform is extraordinarily clear, shook her head and said: "The old body was established by the Empress Dowager Renxuan all her life, she was neglected and abandoned by the philosophical temple, and she was imprisoned for more than 20 years. ”

Even though the Zhao official family has been trained in the war of the Song and Jin dynasties, and they are also slightly moved when they hear the words, the Empress Dowager Meng has not experienced the shame of Jingkang, but this life is definitely a tragedy with a capital letter. It is simply a victim of the struggle between the Empress Dowager Renxuan and Song Zhezong, the new deal and the old party, she was snubbed by her husband all her life, her only daughter died young, and she was abandoned and separated for most of her life in Yaohua Palace, if it weren't for the shame of Jingkang, the royal family of the Song Dynasty was really empty, so she was invited to preside over the overall situation.

Maybe compared to those women who were coerced and ruined or even died in the Central Plains of Lianghe, she finally had a stable old age, but Zhao Jiu still sincerely wished her to live in a peaceful and prosperous world and not to enter the emperor's family again.

Empress Dowager Meng even began to be sluggish, and suddenly grabbed Zhao Guan's family with her thin hand, and said, "Guanjia, you ...... You want to be a good emperor and live all your life, I'm afraid ....... Just did such a big thing......."

Before he finished speaking, he was already angry, Zhao Jiu was stunned for a while, looked at his aunt's let go of her hand, felt uncomfortable for a while, and said, "Let's take care of the funeral for the eldest lady." ”

In July of the twelfth year of Jianyan, the Empress Dowager Meng Ruji died of illness in the Ciyuan Hall of Yanfu Palace at the age of 66. Nicknamed the Empress Zhaoci Shengxian, all funeral rites in accordance with the old practice of the Empress Dowager Renxuan, only slightly less extravagant, but the emperor mourned for him as a filial son, and the court was dismissed on the 27th.

After a person's death is out of the body, she can stay in the yang world for seven days, Meng Ruji was very relieved to see Zhao Jiu so much, and said to the ghost who came to pick her up: "Old ...... My daughter has died young, and there is nothing to worry about, please take me to the netherworld. ”

The ghost cha admired her calmness a little, and said: "There is a destiny royal city in the underworld, divided into different regions, also called the Great Unification Town, your emperors of the Song Dynasty are here, if the queen is willing, you can go, but if it is the queen mother who has listened to the government or interfered in major historical trends, she will also go to live for a period of time." Although you canonize the current emperor as a name, Yan Jun still has to find out the merits, so you also have to go to the Song Dynasty Village inside. ”

Meng Ruji was a little unhappy to meet Zhao Xu and Liu Qingjing, but decades of solitary confinement had already made her understand what it meant to bow her head under the eaves, and she did not object, as the two ghosts crossed the intersection of yin and yang, looking at the Styx River, the Nai He Bridge, the Wangxiang Terrace, and the Death Pool, all the way to several remote and luxurious places, she was very surprised, and what was even more surprising was that when the ghost led her to the ground, not only a group of people poured out of the Song Dynasty town, but also people in several towns not far away: "Yo, who is this, But no one has been here for a long time? ”

A stout, dark-faced man shouted, "Other people's daughters-in-law, what are you looking for? Come, child, I am Zhao Kuangyin, the Great Song Taizu, who are you, come to speak recently. ”

Meng Ruji's three views collapsed, first of all, the tablet portraits of the ancestors are in the Taimiao, and only Ms. Liu E dared to wear a dragon robe to go in and have a look, and she had never seen the portrait. The second is that your clothes and shoes are like a soldier, although I also know that Emperor Taizu is brave, but he is also dressed too casually, right? ”

She subconsciously went to look at the ghosts around her, but she didn't expect them to be gone, but fortunately, an acquaintance came out at this time, "Grandmother, what are you doing here?" ”

That's right, the thickest thigh of the old party of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Yingzong's wife Empress Dowager Renxuan Gao Taotao was wearing a cloth dress carrying a load of water, trembling and going home, seeing Meng Ruji, although she is now the age when she was not out of the cabinet, but a queen's robe still made Gao Taotao also recognize her, and said in surprise: "If you send a child, you are finally here, woo, come quickly." ”

After that, he put down the water, pulled her to a black strong man, and saluted: "Your Majesty Taizu Mingjian, you have been harsh on your concubines since Jingkang, but even if there are thousands of concubines, the Empress Meng of Zhezong is also my establishment." Now the good boy Zhao Gou who told us to raise his eyebrows is what she set up! ”

Meng Ruji corrected: "Grandmother, the official family....... My nephew is deeply ashamed of Daojun Zhao Ji, and has changed his name to Zhao Jiu, and no one in the palace dares to call him by his old name. ”

Gao Tao frowned, and said instinctively: "Even if you have the ability, you can't be so disobedient, and you don't want the name given by your parents." "Sure enough, it's the same idea as Sima Guang.

Zhao Kuangyin shouted: "Fart, just Zhao Ji's virtue, I only feel that Jiu'er is disobedient, he has already become an official family, and there is no shame of Jingkang, Zhao Shu, take your unlucky mother-in-law home, and pick up twice as much water tomorrow." ”

Meng Ruji tried hard to digest everything, first greeted Taizu, and said: "Taizu, dare to ask the ancestors and ancestors here, there are no servants to serve?" ”

There was a burst of laughter from next door, and a tall man said: "Silly boy, what kind of royal city did Yan Jun set up in a good manner, isn't it just to see that we can achieve something in the world and build a country." When we arrived in the underworld, we were afraid that we would not submit to the ghosts, so we and the prime ministers were imprisoned, and you still expect someone to serve, which is really naïve and ridiculous. I'm afraid that there will be hard times in the future. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Meng Zhixiang, I will educate my children and grandchildren, what does it matter to you?" A man who divides the power of the town is in charge of the affairs of our great unification dynasty. ”

Meng Ruji also hurriedly said: "Taizu don't be angry with others, the concubine has been abolished for many years, and she has long been independent, and the official Bush has been luxurious these years, and there are only seven or eight people in our palace, and it is more than enough to take care of yourself." ”

Someone else said sourly: "Okay, your family has good bamboo shoots, without this official family, you are just a separatist regime, and you are not tired of blowing it all these years." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was triumphant and said: "Li Yu, my descendants not only hold the foundation to resolve the crisis, but also complete the strength of China for a hundred years, why can't I be proud, you have the ability, and let Li Yu come to compete with me, I'm afraid he doesn't even have the courage to commit suicide." ”

Southern Tang Liezu Li Yu, Li Yu his grandfather.

Meng Ruji looked at the many more people around him, and said, "Taizu, when the concubine first came here, she should go to visit your ancestors, and it would be good for you to show me the way." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said indifferently: "No need, yesterday Lao Tzu remembered the battle of the Gaoliang River, the battle of Xining, and the shame of his mother's Jingkang, he was in a bad mood, and he beat them well, and now they can't get out of bed." Even if my bastard brother is physically fit to get off the ground, he is probably still sharpening his knife and waiting for Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, those two bastards! But your husband Zhao Xu is not bad, but I scolded him, you can go and see him. "It's not like me, the eighteen weapons have been prepared a long time ago, just wait for the two bastards to come down, and give them Layton to be ruthless, otherwise I'm sorry for Lao Tzu's angry bed bed for three months.

Meng Ruji....... Who wants to see that pair of dog men and women!

Zhao Kuangyin is the founder of the country, how powerful he is to observe his words, and when he saw this, he said: "My wife He Zhen is also here, she is also your ancestor, you might as well go to visit first, and then tell us about Zhao Jiu's child, the news here is too slow!" ”

Meng Ruji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Obey the instructions." ”

When I entered Taizu's current residence, I found that it was a very bright Erjin courtyard, and a delicate and gentle woman was doing needlework while the light of the underworld was shining, and when she heard the voice, she said, "Yuen Long, are you back?" ”

Then he looked at Meng Ruji, who was not far away, smiled, and then said gently; "You've found the sister of the Song family, it's okay, come in, this is your home."

Zhao Kuangyin was speechless, and understood that his wife had misunderstood, "What do you think, this is the queen who was abolished by Zhao Xu's bad eyes, and it is the Empress Dowager Meng who was canonized as the current emperor, and she came to see you specially." ”

Meng Ruji almost blushed, the person who became the queen must have learned history very well, she understood that this was Empress Xiaohui who regarded herself as Empress Xiaozhang Song. But in the end, after a lot of experience, I met casually, followed the etiquette of the younger generation, and said to Queen He: "Queen Xiaohui knows that in the early years, your family produced a poem for everyone He Zhu, and now people are good to sing his poems!" ”

He Zhen wanted to ask, but when she saw her impatient husband, she smiled slightly and said, "Since you are married to him, you should take the Zhao family first, you can talk about Zhao Jiu's child first, right?" ”

Meng Ru asked: "There are too many facts about Jiu'er, I don't know which one you want to hear?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I heard that he was assassinated some time ago, and some people in the underworld say that he has a life and death calamity, you can talk about this matter first." "For this reason, we can gather ten carts of gold, silver and jewelry and send them to Qiyang Mountain to pray for blessings and disasters! Of course, the main thing is to take the funeral goods of Song Shenzong and the Empress Dowager Xiang.
