Chapter 37: The Sage (Seeking Reading, Seeking Collection)

"What do you say? Your Majesty has made a queen? Who is it? ”

Song Fu was a little confused, he looked at today's day again, it was only the beginning of September, why did he make a queen so early? Is the butterfly effect happening?

Zhao Pan'er drank saliva, she said: "The government said, on the first day of September, His Majesty established Concubine De as the queen, in addition to adding officials to hundreds of officials, the post-canonization ceremony should be simple, neither let the congratulation, nor engage in the post-sealing ceremony, and the post-seal edict also avoided the courtiers' public discussions, and only ordered the post-seal edict to be transmitted to Zhongshu Province. ”

Zhao Paner said again: "Of course, the words behind are all passed on by the common people of Bianliang, as for the specific situation, I don't know very well, as for the truth or falsehood, you can just take a look." ”

Song Zhen frowned: "It's been two months in advance..."

Zhao Paner was stunned: "Isn't it three months?" You said it was after the December lockdown? ”

Song Zhen explained: "December is our algorithm at that time, if we calculate it now, in November of the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Concubine Liu E was made queen." This time, it's two months ahead of schedule..."

Song Zhen paced back and forth, he always felt that something was going to happen, but this unprovoked illusion made him upset.

Zhao Pan'er saw Song Zhen's worries, she stepped forward to hold his hand: "Don't worry too much, those things shouldn't affect us yet..."

Song Zhen sighed: "I hope so... Let's go, it's time to teach the kids. ”

Bianliang

Imperial

Since the death of Empress Guo of Zhuangmu in the fourth year of Jingde (1007), the Kunning Palace, which had been idle for five years, once again ushered in its new owner: Empress Liu.

Liu E said that the journey was not smooth, the reason is her origin, her ancestral home in Taiyuan, her grandfather Liu Yanqing in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms of the Later Jin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty when the right Xiaowei general, father Liu Tong is the Song Taizu's Hu Jiedu commander, leading the history of Jiazhou Thorn, so the family moved to Chengdu Huayang.

It's a pity that Liu E's parents died soon after she was born, and her family fell into the middle, and Liu E became a singer in order to survive when she grew up, and married a silversmith named Gong Mei in Shu early.

Later, Gong Mei took her out of Shu and came to Bianliang, Beijing, to make a living, because Gong Mei's livelihood was difficult, she planned to sell Liu E, but she was recommended by a person to Zhao Heng, who was still the king of Han at the time.

Zhao Heng loved her as soon as he saw her, and he messed with her all day long, and later this matter was known to Song Taizong, who was furious and ordered Zhao Heng to drive Liu E out of the palace.

Zhao Heng was reluctant to give up Liu E, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's order, so he could only secretly place Liu E outside the palace, and this placement was more than ten years.

In the third year of the Dao (997), Song Taizong died, and the crown prince Zhao Heng inherited the unification for Song Zhenzong. As soon as he succeeded to the throne, Zhenzong took Liu E back to the palace, but there was no name at the time, and she was not named a beauty until the first year of Jingde (1004), and in the next few years, Liu E was promoted to Xiuyi, Concubine De, and she also regarded her ex-husband Gong Mei as a brother, and Gong Mei also changed her surname to Liu.

Zhenzong didn't care about this kind of thing, and gave Liu Mei an official knighthood.

In the fourth year of Jingde (1007), Empress Guo died, and Song Zhenzong wanted to make Liu E the queen, but Kou Zhun, Li Di, Xiang Minzhong, Wang Dan and other important ministers all expressed their resolute opposition on the grounds that Liu E was from a humble background and could not be the mother of a country.

Zhenzong can only give up.

Time blink of an eye to the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1012), Song Zhenzong insisted on making Liu E the queen, the ministers were helpless, and Yang Yi, a scholar of Hanlin, was angry and refused to draft the edict of the queen.

Zhenzong is not angry, you don't do it, do you? I'm looking for someone else!

I just want to make Concubine De the queen, and no one can stop it!

On the first day of the ninth month of the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Concubine Liu was established as the queen and was the third queen of Song Zhenzong.

The queen Liu, who was disliked by the ministers and loved by the emperor very much, was to summon her brother, Liu Mei, the first thing she did when she became the queen.

"I've seen a saint."

Liu Mei bowed respectfully. For this woman who was once his wife, Liu Mei at this time did not have any underestimation of him, and he could let the emperor work against the ministers in order to make her the queen, and this ability was enough to make him afraid.

Liu E was wearing a queen's crown dress, sat on it and looked at him, and said softly: "Brother, please get up... Give tea. ”

"Thank you, saints..."

Liu E took a sip of tea, and she said, "I invited my brother here today, because I asked my brother for help." ”

Liu Mei hurriedly got up: "The saint is serious, if you have something to order..."

Liu E pressed her hand: "Brother doesn't have to be like this, you and I are brother and sister after all, I came to my brother today to let my brother go to Jiangnan." ”

Liu Mei was stunned: "Jiangnan? ”

Liu E nodded: "I've been dreaming lately, I always dream of Jiangnan, I heard that there is a small town called Qiantang there, and I asked my brother to go there..."

Liu Mei was even more confused: "I know that Qiantang is a county under the rule of Hangzhou, I don't know what the sage asked me to do in Qiantang?" ”

Liu E waved her hand, and the personal maid immediately handed over something. Liu Mei turned out to see it, but it was a painting, with half a jade pendant painted on it, he frowned, and only felt that this jade pendant was familiar.

Suddenly, Liu Mei remembered this jade pendant, isn't this the jade pendant of the prince Zhao Zhen, who mysteriously disappeared back then?

The queen showed him this today, is it possible?

Liu E watched Liu Mei's face change, and she was not polite: "Presumably my brother also remembered this jade pendant, yes, it is indeed a child's, I have been dreaming recently, I always dream of the small city of Qiantang, every time I wake up, it always makes me uneasy, as if there is someone or something waiting for me." ”

Liu Mei lowered her head and listened to Liu E's story, but the cold sweat on her forehead kept flowing, although he was not the party involved in the incident back then, he still knew what happened.

The sudden thunderstorm caused the mysterious disappearance of Zhao Zhen, the king of Wen, and Taizong was furious and executed almost all the people of the palace.

But even so, Liu E was heartbroken and lost her fertility, and Taizong couldn't afford to fall ill because of this, and died not long after

Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, Liu Mei actually heard this person's name again.

Liu Mei stiffened: "What does the saint mean?" ”

Liu E waved her hand, and the eunuch maid went down, leaving only a personal maid.

"I mean you go to Qiantang County to check it out and see if there are any people, with this jade pendant, you... See what I mean? ”

Liu Mei wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Mei: "However, no matter what you find, don't tell anyone, understand?" ”

Liu Mei's heart froze, and she nodded heavily: "Please rest assured that the saint knows what to do..."

"Okay, let's go down..."

After Liu Mei left, Liu E sat on the chair with her forehead covered, not knowing what she was thinking...
