Chapter 238: After having a mother, teach your mother...
"I inherited the holy thread of the first emperor, and was enshrined in Zongzhou, trembling, and without slackness;
If I hear that I am a holy monarch, I will build a temple to inherit the ancestors and build a very thousand squares.
Mrs. Jia, who inherited her life in the past, was pious and fed, gentle and virtuous, elegant and dignified;
It is advisable to build a long autumn to Fengzong Temple.
It is to recount the ancestors, not to replace the old life, to make the envoy hold the festival, and to award the queen's seal and ribbon.
Fu Kun De Shang Rou, the woman Cheng Gu, the gift of Chong Sheng, the righteousness of Dun Si;
Eli is in Yongzhen, cloning the church, and the mother is the ······ of the world."
···
"The righteousness of "Spring and Autumn" is precious.
The ninth son of the emperor wins, the only son of the queen, Yunwen Yunwu, benevolent and benevolent, and it is appropriate to inherit the unification.
He took the ninth son of the emperor as the crown prince and the heir.
The temple has a succession, the society has a queen, the great fortune of the dynasty, it is the world congratulations;
All the lords, the old and the first master, who is also a father, will be given a knight and a cloth;
Filial piety, Litian, and the three elders of the township, and another catty of wine and meat.
He ordered amnesty to the whole world, and made the people feed for five days, to rejoice ······"
···
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, it is already the fourth year of the Son of Heaven, the second half of summer and April.
The melodious tone of the edict read by the confessor did not seem to have dissipated from his ears, but everything had already fallen into place.
Mrs. Jia······
Oh no;
It's time to call Queen Jia.
- Today's Queen Jia has moved into the Jiaofang Palace;
Liu Sheng, who was finally appointed as the crown prince, has also rightfully entered the crown palace.
But even though more than half a month has passed since these things, Liu Sheng still feels a little like a world away······
"Ah Sheng;"
"Ah Sheng?"
The brother's faint voice sounded in his ears, and finally pulled Liu Sheng's scattered thoughts back to his eyes from 108,000 miles away.
Settle down like waking up from a dream, and everything in front of him finally came into Liu Sheng's sight again.
Queen Jia, dressed in a bright red robe, tied with a queen's ribbon and seal around her waist, and a phoenix crown on her head, sat on the top with a little restraint.
Behind Empress Jia, there is Queen Bo, or 'Mrs. Bo', who has moved to live in the North Palace, with a shy smile, softly soothing Empress Jia's uneasy mood.
The two queens sat next to each other, holding each other's hands, whispering something from time to time.
And at a position about five steps away from the two queens, his brother Liu Pengzu looked at Liu Sheng with doubts.
"As you talk, why are you distracted again?"
"——In the past few days, Ah Sheng's spirit is not quite right?"
The brother's concerned words reached his ears, causing Liu Sheng to be stunned.
After a moment, he shook his head again and smiled wryly.
"Hi ······"
"It's nothing;"
"It's just ~"
"Tsk, how do you say it······"
After wanting to speak for a moment, Liu Sheng finally shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then mouthed his mother Queen Jia Nunu not far away.
"Brother, look;"
"——I have lived in the Jiaofang Hall for more than half a month, and my mother is still like this to this day."
"If my mother is like this, how much more so ······ me"
As soon as Liu Sheng said this, Liu Pengzu's worried look disappeared, and then he sighed with some emotion, and then reached out and patted Liu Sheng's shoulder.
Liu Pengzu can understand that Liu Sheng, this is a change in identity that he is not used to.
Even if the mother of the two brothers was made the queen and Liu Sheng was named the crown prince, it was decided a long time ago, but when this day really came, when the two edicts were really issued from Changle Palace, it would still inevitably make people feel unreal.
- Don't say it's Liu Sheng;
Even Liu Pengzu, who has nothing to do with this matter, still can't believe it: his younger brother Liu Sheng has actually become the prince of the Han family!
And her biological mother has also become the queen of the world······
"yes~"
"—No matter who such a thing falls on, I'm afraid it will be unbelievable for a while?"
"Even as early as more than half a year ago, these things have been set by my father······
The sighing words also caused Liu Sheng to nod with a wry smile.
After a few moments, the two brothers took a deep breath in unison;
found this bizarre tacit understanding with each other, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
After such an exchange, which was not an exchange, Liu Sheng's scattered mood finally returned to normal.
——As Liu Pengzu said: Liu Sheng still feels at a loss for his new identity;
Even if he had been mentally prepared for a long time, after getting the edict and being allowed to officially move into the palace, Liu Sheng still inevitably felt a little stunned.
That's ······
Became a prince?
But stunned to stunned, in front of his brother, after saying what he thought in his heart, Liu Sheng also felt a lot better.
At the very least, you can throw away this instinctive stunnedness for the time being.
"The queen mother's complexion looks a lot ruddy;"
"Brother, you shouldn't have bothered a lot lately?"
With a light smile, Liu Sheng turned sideways a little and looked at the waste queen who was whispering with her mother, Queen Jia, not far away, and now Mrs. Bo.
Hearing this, Liu Pengzu also followed Liu Sheng's line of sight and looked at his 'mother'.
The former Queen Bo has now become 'Madame Bo';
And the former Mrs. Jia has now become 'Queen Jia'.
In such a situation, no matter who the two brothers are, they should not continue to call Mrs. Bo as the 'queen mother' and Queen Jia as the 'mother'.
- At least Liu Pengzu, he should no longer use 'mother' as the title of Empress Jia.
Because today's Liu Pengzu is the son of Mrs. Bo;
As for the biological mother, Mrs. Jia, in a legal sense, she is simply Liu Pengzu's mother-in-law, not 'mother'.
To put it more bluntly, today's Liu Pengzu can only call Mrs. Bo 'mother';
From now on, the only person who can call Queen Jia 'mother' is Liu Sheng, who has become the crown prince.
But obviously, the two brothers today haven't paid attention to this.
The 'queen mother' in the mouths of the two still refers to the abolished queen, Mrs. Bo······
"The queen mother is also a poor person······"
"In the past few years, I have been lonely in Jiaofang Palace, and there is no one to talk to."
"—In the early years, the Empress Dowager was still there, but it was better;"
"But after the death of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has completely no one to talk to······"
Liu Pengzu sighed for a while, which also caused Liu Sheng to sigh for a while, and involuntarily scattered his sympathetic gaze to his mother Queen Jia.
There, there sat a deposed queen who had even moved out of the palace;
But at least now, Mrs. Bo finally has someone by her side who can speak······
"That's what my brother said."
"In the future, I still need my brother to have more snacks, so that the queen mother can enjoy the blessings of the heir's service."
"-After all, the queen mother is our mother-in-law."
"Even if she is deposed as the queen, the queen mother will always be our queen mother."
Hearing Liu Sheng's words, Liu Pengzu only smiled gently, turned sideways, and patted Liu Sheng lightly on the shoulder.
"I know."
"On the queen mother's side, Ah Sheng can rest assured."
"Besides, since Ah Sheng has said so, he shouldn't have completely left the queen mother to me?"
"You won't be a prince, so you have to forget to do your filial piety to your mother, right?"
A slightly joking remark only caused Liu Sheng to smile and nod.
Although he did not speak, for the two brothers, everything was in plain sight······
The two brothers spoke well, and on the couch at the top, Mrs. Bo and Queen Jia finally ended their whispering.
Regarding the exchange of identities and statuses of each other, Mrs. Bo and Queen Jia obviously did not feel awkward.
With the same shy smile on his face, the two hands that had been pulled together since half an hour ago, neither of them was willing to let go.
If an outsider sees the scene in front of him, I am afraid that he will think that the person sitting on the couch is a close friend who has known each other for many years;
And Liu Sheng and Liu Pengzu are playmates who have played together since childhood because of this pair of best friends?
"Compared to last year, the queen mother's complexion looks much better;"
"Previously, the queen mother moved to the North Palace, and the son and brother were worried that the queen mother would not get used to it."
"Now it seems that the queen mother is in the North Palace, and she is quite used to living?"
Seeing that the two queen mothers, the former queen mother and the current queen mother, ended the conversation, Liu Sheng said a word at the right time, and stood up without pretentiousness;
A few steps forward with his brother Liu Pengzu, he knelt down in front of Mrs. Bo and Empress Jia.
Hearing Liu Sheng's greetings with a smile, Mrs. Bo was not surprised to panic!
Subconsciously turned her head sideways, and saw Queen Jia beside her nodding with a smile, Mrs. Bo raised her head a little uneasily, and squeezed out a smile that was obviously a little restrained.
"Worried the prince;"
"Beigong is elegant, secluded, and everything is complete, which is exactly what I don't like to be noisy."
"With Lao Qi by my side, I finally have hope for this day······"
As she said this, Mrs. Bo's faintly cramped gaze couldn't help but shift to Liu Sheng's side.
When her eyes fell on Liu Pengzu, Mrs. Bo's eyebrows were instantly full of happiness and sweetness.
Looking at Queen Bo on the opposite side, she spread her loving gaze to her brother Liu Pengzu beside her, Liu Sheng's heart, in addition to the long-standing guilt for his brother Liu Pengzu, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
——The North Palace, where Mrs. Bo now lives, is located north of Weiyang Palace and northwest of Changle Palace.
Its name of 'North Palace' also comes from this.
As for the origin of this North Palace, it needs to be said that decades ago, after the death of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, the throne of the Han family was inherited.
In the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang died, and the crown prince Liu Ying inherited the throne for: Emperor Xiaohui of the Han Dynasty.
The son became the emperor, and the former queen Lu Pheasant naturally became the queen mother.
Soon after, Empress Dowager Lu made the decision to canonize her daughter Liu Le, the princess of Lu Yuan, and the daughter born to Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, that is, the niece of Emperor Xiaohui Liu Ying: Zhang Yan, as empress.
And when Zhang Yan married her uncle Liu Ying, she was just seven years old.
Just seven years later, Liu Ying, the twenty-two-year-old Emperor of Xiaohui, died in Weiyang Palace.
When Liu Ying died, Zhang Yan, the queen of filial piety, was only fourteen years old, and naturally she was unable to give birth to her eldest son for Liu Ying.
So, Liu Ying's eldest son, Liu Gong, with the support of Empress Dowager Lu, sat on the throne of the Han family at the age of four.
It was from this moment that something gradually began to go wrong.
- Gao Hou Lu Pheasant, the wife of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, is the founding empress of the Han family;
Liu Bang died, his son Liu Ying inherited the throne, and Lu Pheasant became the queen mother as a matter of course.
And after her son Liu Ying also died, Empress Dowager Lu was reasonable and should have become the 'Empress Dowager'.
However, after the death of Emperor Xiaohui and the succession of Emperor Shu's eldest son Liu Gong to the throne, Empress Dowager Lu did not follow the convention and changed her identity from 'Empress Dowager' to 'Empress Dowager'.
Empress Dowager Lu is still the queen mother, and the filial piety queen Zhang Yan naturally can't be the queen mother, so she has always regarded herself as the queen;
Four years after sitting on the throne, the eight-year-old child emperor Liu Gong died in the hands of his grandmother Empress Dowager Lu because of the sentence 'I am not strong, and strong is change'.
Later, Empress Dowager Lü supported another concubine of Emperor Xiaohui: Liu Hong to inherit the throne.
After another four years, the Empress Dowager Lu died, and Chang'an was in chaos.
The courtiers Gonghou led by Chen Ping and Zhou Bo, and Liu Xiangli, the son of Liu Fei, the king of Qi mourning, joined forces with the foreign government of Qi, and in one fell swoop eliminated the relatives of the Lu family who had controlled the government for many years and was even on the verge of subverting the society.
After that, it was naturally Chen Ping and Zhou Bo's sentence 'The sons of filial piety are all from the harem of the Lu family's fornication', which completely denied the blood relationship of all the descendants of Xiaohui Liu Ying;
Emperor Xiaohui's 'absolute heir', the throne of the Han family, also fell to the acting king at that time, the first emperor Liu Heng.
But when the first emperor came to Chang'an from the dynasty and inherited the throne, he found a very difficult problem.
- Zhang Yan, the queen of filial piety, still lives in the Jiaofang Hall in Weiyang Palace as a 'queen'!
Even if her husband has died, and even her concubine has been liquidated by Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others, Zhang Yan is still the queen!
Upon learning of this, the first emperor was so anxious that he didn't know how to deal with it, or how to 'settle' his brother Liu Ying's widow.
But there is no doubt that Empress Xiaohui Zhang must not continue to live in Weiyang Palace, let alone continue to live in Jiaofang Palace.
In the end, the first emperor had no choice but to make a decision to deal with the matter coldly.
——To the north of Weiyang Palace, build a new palace and let Zhang Yan live in it in a low-key manner;
This new palace, unnamed;
Zhang Yan, also known as the Empress;
There were no edicts, much less orders on paper.
inside and outside the government and the opposition, they only don't know that Zhang Yan is still called 'queen' and don't know the existence of this palace;
Even, directly when Zhang Yan does not exist.
In this way, Liu Heng, the fourth son of Emperor Taizu Gao, Liu Bang, became the fifth emperor of the Han family.
And Zhang Yan, the widow of Emperor Xiaohui and the brother and sister-in-law of the former emperor Liu Heng, lived in the palace that was almost isolated from the world for 17 years.
In the seventeenth year of the first emperor, filial piety to Empress Zhang, the first emperor ordered the burial of this hard-working brother and sister-in-law;
In the end, Empress Xiaohui Zhang, who was thirty and nine years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, was buried in the tomb of Xiaohui Emperor Liu Ying as a virgin.
The palace where Empress Zhang once lived but was never officially named was privately named: North Palace······
Knowing this little-known past, it is not difficult to find that Mrs. Bo's words are all heartfelt words.
- Madame Bo, indeed a person who does not like to be noisy;
And the North Palace is indeed secluded enough, and it really fits Mrs. Bo's preferences.
As for Mrs. Bo's last sentence 'The days finally have hope', Liu Sheng, of course, also understands what it means······
"In that case, then the queen mother will live in the North Palace for a few years."
"In the future, my brother will be named King Zhao, and my son will intercede with his grandmother and father, and crown his mother as Queen Mother Zhao in advance."
"At that time, the queen mother can move out of the North Palace and go to Handan with her brother······"
With mixed feelings, Liu Sheng sighed again, but in the end, he lowered his head with guilt.
Seeing Liu Sheng behaving like this, Liu Pengzu and Mrs. Jia's mother and son on the side also let out a short sigh with mixed tastes, and looked at Mrs. Bo in unison, smiling and nodding.
- Just like Liu Sheng being the crown prince and Mrs. Jia being the queen, they are both things that cannot be changed;
After Liu Pengzu was passed under the knee of Mrs. Bo, Mrs. Bo became the Queen Mother of Zhao, which is also something that will happen and cannot be changed.
In this regard, Queen Jia and Liu Peng's grandmother and son certainly felt some emotion in their hearts.
But the mother and son also had to accept the arrangement of fate······
"Tai, the prince doesn't have to be like this;"
"It is enough to make me feel terrified to have an heir under my knees and have something to rely on in my old age."
"I really don't dare to bother the prince anymore to do such a thing for my useless lady."
"—If the crown prince is reprimanded by His Majesty because of this, then I will definitely feel guilty for the rest of my life."
"So the prince, let's take back what I just said······"
Mrs. Bo did not surprise this 'frightened rabbit' shape, and obviously did not surprise Liu Sheng.
After thinking about it for a while, he nodded his head, but secretly made up his mind: when the time comes, let's see the situation.
It's too early to say that.
After passing the matter and briefly greeting Mrs. Bo, Liu Sheng's eyes fell on his mother: Empress Jia.
Liu Sheng's next words made Mrs. Jia, who was originally uneasy and had just calmed down a little because of Mrs. Bo's relief, feel uneasy again······
"According to the custom, when my mother is crowned queen, she should summon the concubines and concubines in the palace as soon as possible to correct her name."
"But my mother has been living in the Jiaofang Hall for more than half a month;"
"This matter has been delayed for more than half a month."
A slightly serious remark caused Queen Jia to panic again, and even rubbed the corners of her clothes uneasily;
But seeing Liu Sheng turn his head sideways again, looking at Mrs. Bo beside Queen Jia, between his eyebrows, there was also a little kindness and pleading.
"It stands to reason that such a thing should not have made the queen feel unhappy."
"But in the past, my mother was in the palace, and Mrs. Cheng and Wang Meiren got along with each other on an equal footing for many years;"
"Now that I am a queen, mother, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold up the queen's stand in front of Mrs. Cheng and Wang Meiren."
"So in this matter, I'm afraid I still need the queen mother to help with this a little."
"—If it would make the queen mother unhappy, then if I didn't say it."
"But if you can, I still hope that the queen mother can walk around this Jiaofang Hall more."
"It's good to teach my mother: what should the queen of the Han family do, how should she get along with the concubines and concubines in the palace······"
uh······
It's like a sheep······
I wondered, I didn't go out yet······
I don't feel anything in my body, but I feel panic in my heart...
Tut-tut·········
Today's two watches, and the second watch.
