Seventy-two: The New Emperor (I)

Lu Yuan entered Changle Palace and hugged his mother and cried. And Zhang Yan wore a small gong mourning dress, standing under His Royal Highness Jiaofang, waiting for her grandmother and mother.

Before you know it, three years have passed. In the past three years, the height of the former girl has been drawn up a lot, and the small mourning clothes woven of fine linen outline the grace, and the slender girl has some girlish sweetness.

"The prince is here." His Royal Highness had a palace man whispering earnestly, with a slight excitement.

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, looked over from a distance, and sure enough, she saw a corner of the prince's car. Somehow, some fear arose in my heart, and I took a step back and avoided it.

"Mrs. Zhang," Yongxiang ordered Zhang Ze to come out of the hall and said busily, "What if the queen remembers that you can't find it later?" It's better to go back and wait. ”

"You want to take care of my business?" She was irritable in her heart, and turned around and reprimanded, Zhang Ze didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to follow step by step.

The flowing water in the flying canal is clear, rolling up small waves, Zhang Yan walks along the flying canal, occasionally looking at the turbulent spring, and herself in the flowing spring. How much of the world has been washed away by flowing water? No matter how many heroes there are, they will all end up in the water; No matter how beautiful and red, it will eventually become dry bones. Year after year, spring is gone, and spring will come again. Changle is still the same Changle, where are all the old people who played and frolicked by the flying canal in the past?

For a while, Zhang Yan was full of emotion.

"Your Majestyβ€”" A faint cry was heard in the distance.

She was stunned for a moment, and looked back in the direction the voice had come from.

"That's Qi Ji in the Immortal Palace." Zhang Ze said with a smile, "Tomorrow I want to send the first emperor to Changling, Qi Ji wanted to follow, but the queen mother didn't allow it." Originally, she was just a lady, what qualifications did she have to send the coffin of the first emperor? It's ridiculous and pathetic. ”

"Oh." Zhang Yan nodded.

A gust of wind blew, Qi Yi's voice became clearer again, and she cursed in a low voice. "Lu Pheasant, you can't die well."

Zhang Yan changed color, turned around and said, "Lord Zhang, after my uncle succeeded to the throne as the new emperor, Grandma is the queen mother, isn't it?" ”

Zhang Ze couldn't figure out what she meant, and said with a smile, "The crown prince is about to succeed to the throne, and the queen is the mother of the prince, so she should naturally be the queen mother." ”

"Then someone openly insulted the Queen Mother of the country. What is the crime? ”

In May, the crown prince supported the coffin and sent it to the Changling Mausoleum.

There was no sun that day. There was no wind either, the mugtry heat peculiar to early summer, the dampness in Chang'an City, and the sticky air. The Northern and Southern armies strengthened the security of the palace gate. The civil and military officials went to the crown, wore white clothes, and stood outside the main hall of Changle with white clothes on their heads.

Mao Shi Zheng. The body is put into the coffin, the white jade coffin of the head of the two zhangs and the dragon, and the elephant of the dragon and the phoenix, the turtle and the dragon are the last destination of the emperor Liu Bang.

The queen and the prince led the clan and the ministers of the three princes to cry in the coffin, and bathed, eaten, plated ice, small and large in turn, and all the rituals were completed. Forty-eight white-clothed and white-clothed people from the palace carried the white jade coffin of the dragon's head out of the west of Changle Palace, galloped along Zhangtai Street, and went all the way to Changling.

When the Zigong Palace came out of the gate of the North Gate of Changle. Qi Yi leaned on the pillar of Yongxiang in a single coat and wept in the direction of Longshou Mountain. Your Majesty, I finally know how small I am, I inherited your thousand graces when you were alive, but I am not even qualified to send you on your last journey when you die. Lu Pheasant, the old woman, Qi Yi suddenly gritted her teeth. She deceived people so much that she ordered them to send me down to Yongxiang. She ordered someone to take away my gorgeous clothes and beads, and she used me as the most despicable slave girl in Changle Palace, but she couldn't take away my love for you. Let her Lu Pheasant backhand like the sky, Your Majesty, in your heart, there is only me.

When the white jade coffin walked under the horizontal door, Tai Changcheng shouted, "Kneel." So Zhang Yan followed her mother, knelt on the streets of Chang'an, and bowed her head deeply.

The man in the white jade coffin of the dragon's head, have I ever loved him? Confused among everyone, Zhang Yan asked herself, Emperor Gao allowed to be called a hero, but he never loved himself purely. So I can't purely repay him. Her affection for him was far less profound than that of her mother, grandmother and uncle, but when he died, she knelt on the long street to see him off for the last time, and the dust on the street blew into her eyes, and she couldn't hold back her tears.

Before bowing her head, she clearly saw that the young man at the forefront of the line who was carrying the heaviest martial artist Mai in the coffin looked emaciated, and his face was whiter than the Mai on his body. For a moment, she almost thought that the sorrow that followed would crush him the next. But he just pursed his lips and walked steadily step by step. There is a kind of flexibility in the bones, indomitable.

- Uncle.

"If you're not afraid of skinning, keep cursing the queen." In Yongxiang, the vulgar-looking grandmother threw a bowl of rough food in front of Qi Yi, "But don't wronged the queen this time, I heard Master Zhang say that it was not the queen who sent you down to Yongxiang, but the eldest lady of the eldest princess's family." ”

Qi Yi's eyes widened in astonishment.

The most is that you can't see it in the world, and the heroes die of old age and beauty.

Hengcheng Gate was solemn and solemn, silently looking at the people of Chang'an who were kneeling in the dust by the road behind him. They were red-eyed, obedient to filial piety, kneeling to see the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, bowing again and again, refusing to get up.

What is the appearance of the person lying in the white jade coffin of the dragon head, what kind of temperament, what person has he loved and hated in his life, what has he been proud of, and what is he regretted...... Even whether he is a hero or a scoundrel, they may not know, and they do not need to know.

They only know that this person gave them a peaceful world.

Those who have endured the hardships of separation and chaos cherish peace the most, and only with peace can there be hope. In this world, there is a thing that is extremely precious and extremely small, and it is called the people's heart.

The people's heart is the most rare, because it is difficult for him to reconcile; The people's hearts are the simplest, because those who have suffered too much are too easy to satisfy.

From the Hengmen out of Chang'an, go another twenty miles, to the dragon head of the original Changling.

Since the seventh year of the Han Dynasty set the capital of Chang'an, Changling began to be built, and now, it has been built for five years, and it has not been fully completed. However, the mausoleum crown is magnificent and majestic, showing the momentum of a generation of overlords swallowing the world.

Liu Ying burst into tears when he closed the mausoleum, this mausoleum is buried his father, he has loved and hated but will always be his dear father, they are not as close as the folk father and son, but he has always admired the father he admired.

When he walked out of Changling, Liu Ying wiped away her tears, put her hands behind her back, and overlooked the nearby Chang'an from Longshou Mountain. The second palace of Changle Weiyang is magnificent, and the city is full of white cloth flags, and the national filial piety is overwhelming. His father's age was slowly closed behind him by the Changling stone gate, and from now on, his era will begin.

Grieved. Happy, hesitant, dazed, all thoughts flipped in her heart for a while, Liu Ying had mixed tastes, and her face was complicated.

After returning from Changling, Lu Pheasant bathed and changed clothes, and Su Mo carefully applied incense to her and combed her hair. The fragrance of Hexiangze is very light, and it is the most nourishing for the hair. After years of use, the hair is really smooth and smooth, although it is not as lush as Qi Yi's hair. When it is scattered, it is also a moving scenery. "By the way, is Qi Yi still making trouble?" Lu Pheasant suddenly asked.

"This," Su Mo bit his lip in embarrassment, "Listen to Zhang Ze." Two days ago, Qi Yi was scolding the Queen Mother again, and she happened to be heard by Mrs. Zhang. Zhang Niangzi was so angry that she mischievoked Qi Yi and went down to Yongxiang to eat rice. ”

She lowered her head and waited for a long time without hearing Lu Pheasant's voice, raised her head, and saw Lu Pheasant rubbing the belt around her waist, and the bronze mirror reflected her face with the corners of her lips slightly upturned. looked like a smile, "This Ah Yan, she is simply a worm in my stomach." Wholeheartedly close to me. Still, it's fine. - Let's pretend not to know for the time being, and let Qi Yi stay inside for a few days before talking. ”

In the summer and April of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, the crown prince Liu Ying ascended the throne as the new emperor.

Due to the death of the first emperor, the original temple has not yet been built. He succeeded to the emperor's throne in the Taishang Imperial Temple. The name of the first emperor. The ministers all said: "The ancestors are subtle, and the reverse is true in troubled times." Pacify the world, for the Han Taizu, the highest merit. "The Supreme Honorable is Emperor Gao.

Prime Minister Xiao He played "Shangshu Gu Ming": "Taibao undertakes Gui, Shangzong serves the same mao, and he is from the ranks." Taishi Bingshu, by the guest rank, the royal king's order. "Please ask the crown prince to be the emperor, and at the same time respect Empress Lu as the queen mother. I said, yes. So the ministers changed their auspicious clothes, Xiao He rose from the steps, sat on the north side of the head, and read the policy and said: "In the summer and April of the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, the emperor Yide was towering, and the light was in the four seas; Emperor Daxing is not eternal. I am the prince of Emperor Xiaohui, humble and benevolent, diligent in the children, suitable for the suburbs, and inherit the great cause. Judging the monarch of the Han Kingdom, allowing it to be executed...... The emperor was reluctant. "Bi, to pass on the jade seal of the country to the east of the kneel crown prince Ying, the crown prince is the emperor, seventeen years old. This is what the Han family called Emperor Xiaohui in the future.

Liu Ying, who was holding the emperor's seal, turned around, and under the imperial ranks, the ministers of the three dukes, the civil and military officials, and the children of the clan all bowed, "Long live Your Majesty." ”

Liu Ying stood on the top of the imperial steps, looking at the people who knelt down in the high crown and wide sleeves under the steps, stretching from the temple to the outside of the temple, he saw them yesterday, and he might have to call his uncle and uncle, but in a turn, they all knelt under His Royal Highness, calling His Majesty, respecting and following.

This is, reigning in the world.

Emperor Xiaohui ordered a high temple to be built between Nan'anmen and Wangqu in Changle Palace to worship the spirit of Emperor Gao, and at the same time ordered the princes of the county to set up a temple of Gaozu in the territory of the country, and worship according to the year every year.

Ordered Xiao He to succeed as prime minister, ordered Zhou Bo to be the captain, worship Xiahou Ying as the servant, worship Sun Shutong as the Taichang, and give the captain with jade, Hou Zhu, and snake sword, and order the ministers, and the ministers are all called long live. So he sent an envoy to open the city gate and the palace gate, and dismissed the guards. The ministers and hundreds of officials are gone, and they are dressed in mourning clothes. Soldiers. The three princes are too often courteous.

After the new emperor returned to the palace, he was busy until late at night, and Fang breathed a sigh of relief. Chang Liu waited cautiously on the side, and when he saw it, he stepped forward and persuaded, "Your Majesty, you might as well rest, right?" ”

"Nope." Liu Ying shook her head, "I want to go and see the queen mother." ”

When the emperor's guard of honor walked towards the Jiaofang Palace, Liu Ying suddenly regretted it a little, at this time, the queen mother should have rested, right? He pursed his lips and looked at the palace pavilion where only the outline could be seen in the dark night, stretching from east to west until Weiyang.

If you can be happy for a long time, why bother?

There are still a few candles left in the outer hall of the pepper room, and the emperor specially instructed him to stop the sound, not to alarm the mother in the palace. So when Su Mo came out, he saw a figure standing under the corridor, and he was startled before he recognized it as Liu Ying.

"Your Highnessβ€”" she exclaimed, changing her words abruptly, "now it should be called Your Majesty." He smiled slightly.

"Get up." Liu Ying smiled slightly and asked, "Lonely-I just want to accompany my mother here." Don't argue with her, just stand quietly. ”

"Don't." Su Mo said with a smile, "The Queen Mother Ming'er will definitely feel distressed when she hears it." I'll call her. ”

Candles were lit in the inner hall, and Liu Ying saw her mother who came out in a hurry, waking up from a dream in the middle of the night, she just put on a white linen filial piety robe, took her hand, and scolded, "Silly child." His eyes were empty and red.

"The Queen Mother." Liu Ying pillowed her head on Lu Pheasant's shoulder and apologized, "My son made a noise to you?" ”

The faint fragrance of thatch lingered around him, "Nothing." Lu Pheasant smiled, "After your father left, I always couldn't sleep well these nights." You're here, just in time to talk to your mother. ”

"Hmm." Liu Ying nodded lightly, her eyes calm, "When my son closes his eyes, he will think of his father." Every time you do something, you wonder what your father will do. Will he praise me for being good, or will he say that I am not sensible. ”

……

In this Changle Palace, my father lived for five years, and every place was full of his shadow, which was shocking.

"Ying'er." Empress Lu pulled him over and said solemnly, "The queen mother knows that you have a deep affection for your father, but your father has already passed away, and you have to learn to stand up on your own." ”

"No." Liu Ying shivered, crawled out of the endless grief, and straightened his back.

"Ying'er, listen," Lu Pheasant said coldly, "Your father is in a hurry, and your uncles and brothers and princes are going to come back for the funeral." Let's find a way to send them back, don't stay in Chang'an under the pretext of national mourning. ”

"They are also sad fathers," Liu Ying frowned, "and they don't have to be so unpopular, right?" ”

"Except for you," Lu Pheasant poked his son's head in hatred, "which one is simply sad about the first emperor?" When they stayed in Chang'an, they were sowing trouble. ”

Liu Ying thought for a while, and reluctantly said, "Just follow the queen mother." ”

Lu Pheasant smiled, looked at his son's clear outline lovingly, and carried the pride of his mother for his son in his eyes, "My Ying'er, he will become the emperor today." When I gave birth to you, I didn't dare to imagine such a day. ”

Liu Ying smiled, and the atmosphere of the Jiaofang Hall was peaceful, speechless and stable.
