Chapter 341: The System of Martyrdom
Li Qiong was immediately annoyed, he sneered and said, "Dare to ask what is the reason for your abandonment?" Why did you abandon me, who was in good health, instead of the royal brother who needed to exchange his life for his life? ”
"What are you saying that the palms and backs of your hands are all meat, you have never treated me as meat, otherwise, how could you feed me medicinal herbs since I was a child? In your eyes, I've always been just a medicinal herb, so why bother saying it so high-sounding?! ”
When Empress Dowager Chen heard this, she immediately burst into tears: "The queen mother has no choice, Xian'er ...... him"
Li Qiong snorted coldly: "Yes, I just lost my life, and what the imperial brother lost was his health." ”
Empress Dowager Chen tried to reason with him: "The queen mother knows that you are resentful, but what can the queen mother do, your father has so many sons, if your imperial brother has three long and two short......"
"Huh!"
Li Qiong interrupted her with a sneer: "Why can't you directly admit that you love vanity and covet wealth?!" If it weren't for the fact that you were greedy for wealth and wanted to give birth to a prince with a side door, listened to the Ma family's words, and took the so-called secret recipe for giving birth to a child, why would the royal brother get sepsis?! ”
"In the final analysis, the reason for all this is because of your selfishness, your greed for wealth! Don't you want to know why the royal brother insists on putting the Ma family to death?! That's why! ”
Xie Wan listened silently, frowned and asked, "That's what he said?" Didn't you hide it from your mother before? ”
Li Yu said lightly: "Hiding the idea that the queen mother is the emperor's brother, he feels that he is a person who is going to die on the left and right, and he really doesn't need to see the mother's repentance and guilt before he dies, as for after death, he can't see it and goes with him." Moreover, the fourth brother had a grudge against his mother, and he didn't let him say it, and he always held his breath in his heart. ”
Li Yu originally disagreed, and told the Empress Dowager Chen the truth, until he heard that Xie Wan was slapped in the face.
At that time, he understood that if Empress Dowager Chen never knew the truth, she would always blame others, and never knew that she was the culprit.
In the future, Xie Wan will be more harshly criticized.
No matter who you are, you have to pay for what you do, and not to mention, it's not fair.
It's unfair to Li Qiong, and it's unfair to Xie Wan, who has to be endured.
Xie Wan sighed lightly: "Sleep for a while, and when I wake up, I'll visit the queen mother." ”
When I woke up, Li Yu was no longer there, and the bedding around him was already cold.
After Xie Wan got up to freshen up, she went to Cining Palace, but Empress Dowager Chen was reluctant to see her.
Empress Dowager Chen just asked Mama to speak, saying that she was now devoted to worshiping the Buddha and no longer wanted to take care of earthly affairs, and after Emperor Wen Zhao was buried, she would go to the nunnery to practice on her behalf.
Mama looked at Xie Wan and said, "The Queen Mother still has a word, I want the slave to bring it to the princess." ”
Xie Wan immediately said, "Mama, please speak." ”
Mama sighed lightly: "The Queen Mother wants the princess to be kind to the Chen family, the Chen family has no real power, only the title, it will inevitably decline in the future, and Chen Shizi is not a talented person." ”
Xie Wan understood what she meant: "The queen mother is worried, I will not like the Chen family because of Sister Sun?" ”
Mama nodded.
Xie Wan opened her mouth and said: "I still bother my grandmother to tell my mother that the harem will not interfere in politics, not to mention that Sister Sun has the flesh and blood of the Chen family in her belly." In the future, I will walk around with the Chen family a lot. ”
When the grandmother heard this, she said: "When the princess said this, the queen mother was relieved. ”
Empress Dowager Chen devoted herself to worshipping Buddha and no longer seeing people, which was actually a good thing for Xie Wan.
There is no need to deliberately please, and there is no one in the harem to take care of her affairs, she is completely at ease.
Despite this, she still told Li Yu about the Empress Dowager Chen, and asked him to persuade the Empress Dowager Chen.
Li Yu was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "If this can make the queen mother's heart more comfortable, let her be." ”
Xie Wan has already entered the palace, so it is naturally impossible to live as a princess, and the next day, Li Yu changed into a dragon robe and officially ascended the throne as the emperor, and Xie Wan also took over the phoenix seal and became the queen.
The two stood hand in hand on the high steps in front of the Qianqing Palace, and were bowed down by hundreds of officials: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live the queen mother, thousand years old, thousand years old!" ”
Hundreds of officials were lined up on both sides, and the long queue almost went all the way to the Qianqing Gate.
The sound of kneeling resounded in the sky.
This feeling of being on top of the ground is difficult to experience if you are not there.
No wonder there are so many people lost in power.
The enthronement ceremony and the post-sealing ceremony are all in preparation, and will be held after the burial of Emperor Wenzhao.
According to the rules, before Emperor Wenzhao was buried, Li Yu had to stay alone in the Qianqing Palace, and the two could only see each other during the day and occasionally take a nap together.
Li Yu is busy, and Xie Wan is also busy.
She is in charge of the affairs of the harem, and all the uses in the palace, although all departments take care of them, must also be allowed by her.
In addition, Emperor Wen Zhao died, and the position of the harem concubines changed, and they could no longer live in the original palace as before, and Xie Wan needed to call the shots.
Burial has always existed, according to the rules, whether they have been sealed or not, but all concubines who have no heirs need to be martyred.
Xie Wan didn't know about it, and she wasn't dumbfounded until someone sent her the prepared list.
Emperor Wen Zhao was unruly in his life, and he had many concubines who were favored, but the heirs were very thin, and there were dozens of people in a long list, plus palace people.
Xie Wan took the list, was silent for a long time, and got up to look for Li Yu.
At this time, Li Yu was discussing with the official, and saw that her face was gloomy, and when he asked the official to step down, he reached out and took her into his arms, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" What makes your face so ugly? ”
Xie Wan handed him the list and said, "The list of martyrs at this time." ”
Li Yu flipped through it and understood what she meant.
He was silent for a while and said, "This is the rule set by the ancestral emperor. ”
"Can't be changed?" Xie Wan looked at him and said, "These women are trapped in the palace all their lives, and they are miserable enough, and the matter of martyrdom is really a bad habit!" How is this different from the grass and human life?! ”
Li Yu frowned and said: "I don't agree with the funeral, but if you want to abolish this system, you must come up with a corresponding solution, there are already many people in the palace, these people are masters, you need to use carbon in winter and ice in summer, and it is also an expense to keep supporting." ”
"Moreover, if these women stay in the palace, it is very likely that they will cause trouble in the harem. They all have positions, they are the women of the emperor's brother, what if they have a head and tail with others after they are released? This matter needs to be considered in the long term. ”
Xie Wan could understand his position and thoughts, but she couldn't do it watching the living being buried.
Li Yu comforted her: "Don't worry, there are still more than 30 days before the burial of the imperial brother, I believe that according to your intelligence, you will definitely be able to find a suitable way." ”
