313: Entrustment

Empress Lu turned her head and looked at Zhang Yan with sharp eyes, "I'm actually very dissatisfied with you, do you know?" ”

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly in her heart.

"I know."

Since the battle in the clouds, Empress Lu has had a mustard on herself, and later, when she learned her true life experience, she was actually not A-Niang's biological daughter, so she looked down on herself even more!

Empress Lu looked at her with a sharp voice, "You are smart enough, but you are too willful, and the emperor takes you too seriously, it is inevitable that he will do something unsuitable for you." This kind of temperament is actually not suitable for being the queen of a country, especially Ying'er is a benevolent and weak character-"

"Your Majesty is not doing badly," Zhang Yan instinctively retorted, defending her husband, "The Central Plains has been disputed by Chu and Han, the people's livelihood has withered, and the people are miserable, and what the Han needs most is Renjun." As for the weak," she paused for a moment, "Your Majesty knows his duty, and when it is time to decide, he will not be relentless. ”

I will also learn to be a competent queen!

Empress Lu's eyes softened slightly,

Although Ah Yan is so bad, she loves Liu Ying and is willing to do anything to protect Liu Ying.

That's enough!

The spring breeze blew away the remnants of the winter chill, and unconsciously, Chang'an City was pink and willow green, a piece of spring.

Zhang Yan walked out of the Changxin Hall and instructed Xin Yi, "Now that I am serving in the Changle Palace, you should pay attention to the Jiaofang Palace!" The crown prince and the eldest princess should also take care of it! ”

"That's what a slave should do." Xin Yi curtled his knees and said, "Niangniang, how do you plan to arrange this year's Shangsi Niangniang?"

Kamimi is an important festival of the year. Every year on the first day of March, people come to the river outside the city to hold a ritual to ward off calamities and pray for a good year.

Raised willow eyebrows slightly. Zhang Yan thought about it for a while, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard the movement of Empress Lu in the dormitory, and hurriedly waved off people into the hall, sat next to Empress Lu's couch, and helped Empress Lu sit up, "Does the queen mother feel better?" ”

Empress Lu was in good spirits, "I slept for a while, I got better!" ”

"That's good," Zhang Yan smiled. took the decoction handed over by the palace people on the side, "The imperial doctor has opened a new prescription, and the palace people have decocted the medicine." This medicinal soup has been sitting for a while, and now the temperature is just right, so the queen mother should use some. ”

After serving Empress Lu finished using the medicine, she put the medicine bowl on the tray, "It's about to be Shangsi." Ah Yan thought that the queen mother is not in good health now, so she will not be cured this year! ”

"How's that going to work?" Empress Lu frowned, and a pair of phoenix eyes showed her majesty, "Purification can get rid of bad luck for a year, and Your Majesty shoulders the heavy responsibility of the Great Han River." Kiriko is also the crown prince, if you miss the fortune of a year because of this, wouldn't it be a remorse? Lu Hou retorted.

"But." Zhang Yan hesitated, "Queen Mother, ...... your body?" ”

"I'm not so weak that I can't even make a trip out of the palace." Empress Lu straightened up, "Say it again," she was silent for a moment. "I miss the wind of the Weishui River very much!"

The spring of Chang'an in March is bright, and the Weishui River is sparkling. The reflection of the willow tree cast in the flowing water gently stirs people's hearts.

Kiriko is still young and rarely goes out of the palace, and when she sees such a bright spring, she is very excited, and she breaks free from the shackles of the palace people and runs on the grass by the river. Hao Hao was very worried about him, and chased after him to take care of him. The child's laughter was bright, like a silver bell, and it was raised far away.

Empress Lu leaned back on the soft recliner and looked at the crown prince and the eldest princess of Fanyang with a smile.

It was her blood, a continuation of her life's existence.

People will always grow old and die, but as long as there are children and grandchildren in this world, she will pass them on in another way, endlessly, and forever. She will not lose the meaning of coming to this world for a trip.

"Queen Mother," Liu Ying came to Empress Lu in a large-sleeved black robe, and bowed, "Erchen wishes the Queen Mother happiness and health, and a long life!" ”

"Your Majesty," Empress Lu's eyes brightened, "How are state affairs good these days?" ”

"It's good," at such a time, Liu Ying naturally couldn't tell Empress Lu about the troubles of the court, so he only smiled and said, "Now the Huns are still safe, the wind and rain are smooth everywhere, and the magistrates are quite effective." ”

"That's good." Lu Hou smiled faintly.

The Weishui River wind blew, blowing Liu Ying's clothes and belts up, and when Empress Lu saw it, he stretched out his hand to brush it for him. Liu Ying saw that her mother's wrist was already thin and unshaped, and there were many green tendons looming on it, and her eyes were red, so she hurriedly skimmed it over and almost shed tears.

"Silly child," Empress Lu smiled very kindly, "what are you crying about?" ”

Liu Ying knelt in front of her, "My son is not filial, not only did he not serve his mother well, but he also often made his mother angry, and now that I think about it, I regret it very much!" ”

"Silly boy," Lu Hou said, "you are the best son in the whole world." ”

"If you are not filial, there will be few filial children in this world!"

A small yellow door hurriedly ran over, and whispered a few words in the ear of Guan Sheng, Guan Sheng shook off the dust, nodded, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhou Cheng is outside, saying that he has an urgent matter to ask to see His Majesty." ”

"This," Liu Ying looked at Lu Hou and hesitated slightly.

Empress Lu's condition was very bad these days, but he urged himself to be at ease in government affairs, and refused to let himself serve in front of the sickbed.

"Your Majesty, go," Lu Hou said, his expression solemn, "You have to remember that you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty first, and then my son." ”

Liu Ying's face was cautious, and she arched her hand and said, "Be taught!" Confessed to Zhang Yan and said, "Ah Yan, the queen mother will be handed over to you to take care of!" ”

Zhang Yanqiao smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will serve the queen mother well!" ”

The sun gradually went to the west, the temperature cooled down, Zhang Yan ordered the palace people to prepare the palace car and came to the front of Empress Lu, "Queen Mother, the hour is not early, let's go back to the palace!" ”

Lu Hou nodded.

Xu is because of today's day of great energy, on the palace car back to the palace, Empress Lu's spirit was a little sleepy, Zhang Yan covered her body with a quilt, lifted the curtain and beckoned Shi Nan, and whispered, "Tell them to go slower." ”

Shi Nan nodded, and after a while, the speed of the car slowed down.

Empress Lu suddenly woke up and asked Zhang Yan. "What time is it?"

"The queen mother is awake!" Zhang Yan turned around and said with a smile, "It's already Shen Shi!" ”

"Well," Empress Lu nodded, sat up straight in the car, looked out, and saw a thing in the distance in the middle of the avenue, with gray and black fur, as big as a dog, and was taken aback. "What's that?"

The guard stepped forward to check, "Empress Dowager, it seems to be a wild thing." ”

The wild thing was frightened. Standing up, his eyes seemed to look straight at Empress Lu through the heavy guards. 、

Under the overturning of Lu Hou's emotions, she only felt dizzy and disgusted. Waving his hand and shouting, "Get out of here, get out of here." ”

The guard stepped forward with his sword and halberd to drive away the wild thing, which was suddenly frightened, and swooped up and ran to the side of the gallop. Disappeared into the grass, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Yan gently touched her back and persuaded worriedly. "Mother, are you alright?"

"It's fine!" She let out a sigh of relief, slowly calming down.

Back in Changle Palace, she hurriedly summoned Taibu Ling Zhuhua. "Today I met a monster on the road, with gray fur and a straight body. As big as a dog, you do the math for me. What are the signs? ”

Zhu Hua received the order, calculated in the hall for a while, saw the hexagram, and knelt on the ground with a bang, "Queen Mother, according to the hexagram, it is King Zhao Yin's trouble, and he wants to take revenge." ”

"Nonsense," Zhang Yan opened the curtain and came in, angrily reprimanding, "The Taibu Department is becoming more and more useless, and even such nonsense is being said." Don't get out of the house yet! ”

Zhu Hua visited the shrine again and again and retreated.

"Queen Mother," Zhang Yan helped Empress Lu and persuaded her, "That's all nonsense." Ruyi has been dead for many years, and he has long been reincarnated, and it will never be him! ”

Lu turned pale and sat down, "I know." "I look tired.

After that, Empress Lu completely collapsed, drank the medicine for several months, but did not get better after all, and fell into a deep sleep all day long.

In August, her spirit suddenly improved, and on this day, she woke up early in the morning and told Su Mo to groom herself.

The bronze mirror of Liubo reflected the old face, holding the ivory grate in one hand, combing the gray hair in the mirror, trembling slightly, almost out of shape, Empress Lu looked at it attentively, and sighed, "Amo, the years are not forgiving, I am old, and you are also old!" ”

Su Mo knelt on the ground and couldn't cry, "The slave is willing to accompany the Queen Mother for the rest of her life!" ”

"It's all stupid," Lu Hou smiled, "What do I want you to do with me for the rest of my life?" ”

"Your Majesty and the Empress have great respect for you, after I go, I will definitely treat you well, I can rest assured!"

"Queen Mother," Su Mo held the grate and sobbed silently.

Su Mo came out of the hall with red eyes and ordered, "Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will let you in." ”

Zhang Yan answered and lowered her hand into the hall.

There was silence in the Changxin dormitory, the crimson curtain hung low, Zhang Yan clasped her hands in her sleeves, stepped on the lichen in the hall, her steps were light, she barely made a sound, she came to the bed, and called in a low voice, "Queen Mother." ”

Lu Hou opened her eyes, her eyes were clear,

"When I asked Your Majesty to marry you, I didn't expect it to end up like this."

At that time, she thought that she was the biological daughter of her beloved daughter Lu Yuan, and she brokered this marriage, although she also hoped that she and Liu Ying would be happy, but she really never expected that it would be such a solution.

But

Zhang Yan spoke, "The queen mother has always felt that Ah Yan is in the name of Ah Niang's daughter, which is a big mistake. But now, doesn't that look good? ”

"In this way, the impasse between me and my uncle can be alleviated, and we can love each other openly. Wouldn't it be better for my uncle and I to stay together for so many years, and to continue to stay together, than to be related by blood but to be estranged from each other until we die of old age? ”

"It's better," Empress Lu closed her eyes, looking tired, until she was not willing to admit until she ran out of oil and the lamp dried up, "Over the years, I have seen Ying'er often smile, and her eyes are always brighter, much more cheerful than before." ”

Most of this is because you are by his side.

The cause she planted unintentionally back then, although the seed was not the one she expected, but it still bloomed abundantly and beautifully.

"Although Tongzi is still young, she can already see that she is smart," Empress Lu instructed, "You have to teach well." ”

Zhang Yan suddenly felt sour in her heart, and knelt in front of Lu Hou's couch,

"Mother, I understand."

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and it is not a good thing that the Han has such a benevolent monarch. However, if you have been practicing benevolence, for a long time, it will inevitably make ambitious people look down on rampant, I will carefully teach Kiriko to make him strong and resolute. ”

A hint of appreciation flashed in Empress Lu's eyes, she relaxed a little, paused, and spit out again, "...... Hou Biyang" hesitated slightly,

Long after his illness, Empress Lu mentioned Biyang Hou for the first time.

Zhang Yan knew that she was relieved not to judge her, so she took the initiative to say, "The Marquis of Biyang has been kind to the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, Your Majesty and I have not forgotten that Your Majesty has such a temperament, since he let him go that day, he will never be pursued again in the future." ”

Empress Lu nodded, "After I leave, let him go back to Shiyi, don't go back to Beijing!" ”

She closed her eyes, lay on the couch, and seemed unwilling to speak again, so Zhang Yan bent down, lifted the quilt, tucked it gently, looked at Empress Lu deeply, and turned out of the hall.

"Ah Yan," Lu Hou suddenly called.

Zhang Yan looked back,

Empress Lu sat up from the couch and said deeply, "Ying'er," after a pause, "I'll entrust it to you!" ”

Zhang Yan suddenly had a sour nose, knowing that this was Empress Lu's entrustment as a mother at the last moment of her life, she nodded and rushed out of the hall.

Liu Ying stood outside the hall, looking up at her with anxious eyes.

She hid the sadness in her heart, and reluctantly showed a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, the queen mother told you to go in." ”

Liu Ying nodded and hurriedly entered the hall, and the clothes of the two people hurriedly wiped at the intersection.

Zhang Yan stood in front of the gate of Changxin Palace, looking up, the golden sun hung in the sky of Changle Palace, bright and dazzling eyes.

Since Lu Yuan's death, the emperor is the only one left among the children of Empress Lu. In the last moments of her life, she chose to be with her son. This is also the most natural thing.

The Changle Palace unfolded for the first time in the sun, and she suddenly remembered the scene when she had just come to this Han Palace.

That year, she was only six years old, and she offended Emperor Gao Liu Bang in the Great Xia Palace, and Empress Lu stood in front of her and said to Emperor Gao, "She is your granddaughter, you can't touch her." ”

When she was most intimate with her, she said, "My Ah Yan is the best girl in the world." ”

This resolute and resolute woman took her hand and walked through her childhood and girlhood.

Empress Gao Lu Pheasant throughout the history of the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, she assisted Liu Bang to ascend the throne, tried her best to ensure the position of her son Liu Ying, and used her own authoritative experience to help Liu Ying when he was still politically immature.

If it weren't for the changes caused by her arrival, in another time and space, she would be even stronger, ruling the whole of China as a woman for eight years, and even after her own death, let the younger generations who will inherit the Han Emperor in the future, mention her name, respect and hate, but it is an unavoidable object.

Even in this time and space, her existence is also the pillar of Liu Ying and herself, helping them too much.

Now, her life has come to an end. Standing in front of the door of the Changxin Palace, recalling the grievances and hatreds over the years, the sentimentality of the years slowly flowed through the heart like water.

I don't know how long it took, I suddenly heard Liu Ying in the palace cry out sadly, "Queen Mother! ”

Zhang Yan was suddenly startled, turned around, took a few steps in the direction of the palace gate, and stretched out his hand, wanting to grab something.

And behind her, the people of Changle Palace knelt down one after another.

The first queen of the Han Dynasty, Lu Pheasant, who had stood in Changle Palace for thirty years, finally completed the journey of her life.

Unconsciously, Zhang Yan was already in tears.

Those who love and hate are gone, and those who are gentle and murderous will not remain. At this moment, standing under the bleak sky of Changle Palace, she had no time to care about anything else, just a person who couldn't suppress her grief because of the loss of her loved ones!
