Chapter 9: We Meet Again
"It's not impossible, it's just that when the Queen Mother is there, there has never been such a precedent."
Mrs. Yun understands her son's filial piety, but in fact, this dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety and respects the emperor's biological mother. But under the hands of the Empress Dowager Liang, the biological mothers of several little emperors did not have a high status.
Back then, Emperor Liu Bing's biological mother, Yu Meiren, has not even been titled, and is only vaguely called "everyone".
Emperor Liu Zhang's biological mother, Chen, was originally the wife of the King of Bohai, and her son did not add any title after he ascended the throne.
But what about her, even worse than them, the Yu family is at least the beauty of Emperor Shun, and she is just the concubine of Liu Yi.
After his son Liu Zhi succeeded to the throne, he was honored as a lady.
After Zhi'er ascends the throne, Empress Dowager Liang may not tolerate herself, and most of them will be sent back to Liwu County, and it will be difficult to see her son again for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel very sad in her heart, but she didn't dare to let Liu Zhi find out, in case he got into trouble with the Queen Mother because of this matter, he would definitely suffer.
Liu Zhi suddenly felt that his mother's hand seemed to be trembling slightly, and his heart was strange, and he glanced up, but saw Yun Ming smiling gently at him.
He usually looked very aggressive, but he was very sensitive to some things, and immediately knew that his mother was desperately suppressing his emotions.
Why?
Liu Zhi carefully recalled the conversation just now, and vaguely understood the reason for the matter.
His face suddenly fell, no, he would never allow anyone to be unfavorable to his mother, even if he was the queen mother.
But now he can't help himself, and it is obviously impossible to have a hard time with the Queen Mother, so he must think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
The mother and son snuggled together, greedy for the warmth of the moment, but they had their own hearts and were silent.
On the evening of the sixth day of the first lunar month, Cao Teng, the servant of Zhongchang, hurried over to announce the decree, it turned out that tomorrow was the enthronement ceremony, so that Liu Zhi could prepare.
is in such a hurry, probably because after Zhou Fu returned to the palace, the Queen Mother knew that his etiquette had passed and decided temporarily.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, we meet again."
After reading the Empress Dowager's decree, Cao Teng immediately changed his face and saluted with a smile.
Liu Zhi remembered his last visit, and somewhat understood that he could become this emperor, but he was afraid that Cao Teng would play a big role in the middle.
Whether he wants to be it or not, the other party is in an important position, and he is obviously showing favor to him, so he doesn't need to refuse.
The most important thing is that his first impression of Cao Teng is relatively good, so there is always a sense of intimacy.
His eyes fell on the cloud-headed green jade pendant hanging from his waist, and he suddenly remembered the one he was holding by himself.
"Last time, Cao Changzhi accidentally dropped his jade pendant, and I have been keeping it for you."
After that, he took out the white jade pendant with a claw pattern from his bosom and handed it to him.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, I thought I was on the road, it turned out that here with His Royal Highness the Prince, it seems that our monarch and ministers are destined."
Cao Teng stretched out his hand to take it with a smile on his face, his eyes glanced at the neat break on the spike, his heart was strange, but his face was not shown at all.
Because it was already night, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, not to mention that he had to rush back to the Queen Mother to report his life, and after a few words of greeting, he left.
Sent Cao Teng away, but Liu Zhi had all kinds of feelings in his heart, he was going to a completely unfamiliar place tomorrow, facing a group of completely strange people.
This is different from when he first crossed, although the environment is also completely unfamiliar, but there is a loving Mrs. Yun, who takes care of her old minister Zheng Rang.
and the kind-hearted and clever Zhang Liang...... Hey, no, no one else can enter the palace with him, he is a eunuch, it should be okay.
At the very least, having an acquaintance by your side is better than nothing.
"Zhi'er, in the future, you must listen carefully to the words of the Queen Mother, and don't make your own decisions about everything."
Liu Zhi used to be very smart, he also read and reasoned, and his personality was old and serious.
But a cold wind on the road almost died, and it was easy to pick up a small life and come back, but his head was burned out.
Nowadays, he has a big temperament, is informal, and loves to laugh and play with others, but at this time, he was put on the throne.
This emperor is not easy to be, Zhi'er has a good temperament, does not like restraint, and I don't know how much I will suffer when I enter the palace.
Alas, this is how reassuring people can be.
"Oh, Mother, I see."
Liu Zhi agreed with a smile, not wanting her to worry, let alone letting her know that he was also worried.
"There are no more rules in the palace than outside, you have to be more patient, just wait for getting used to it, and also, you have to study more with Taifu."
At first, Liu Zhi nodded again and again, but when he heard the reading, his face collapsed involuntarily.
If it was usual, Yun Ming would definitely be too lazy to force him anymore, but now that the separation is imminent, and he doesn't know what year or month he will see him again, he is anxious in his heart, and his tone is stern.
"Zhi'er, if people don't read and don't understand reason, they will always be confused and stupid. Now there is the queen mother's assistance, but in the future, there will always be a time when you are pro-government, do you want to be a faint monarch who has been stinking for thousands of years? ”
Liu Zhi was stunned, he had never seen his mother angry, for fear of angering her, so he straightened his attitude and hurriedly assured.
"Mother, don't be angry, Zhi'er will listen to you, you must study hard in the future, okay?"
Mrs. Yun also knew that she shouldn't be angry, and when she saw her son agreeing repeatedly, she was already a little soft-hearted, but this child has always been sweet-mouthed, and no matter how good she promised, she turned around but still the same.
Therefore, he deliberately kept his face silent, which made Liu Zhi feel uneasy.
Seeing that his mother still didn't believe it, Liu Zhi was ruthless and picked up a brush on the case.
"The child swore that he would obey his mother's teachings and read every day, if he disobeyed...... So he told me to have such a pen. ”
The words "snapped" and broke the pen shaft, which surprised Mrs. Yun.
At that time, this was already the most serious oath, and the ancients re-promised and believed that there were gods three feet above their heads.
Therefore, Mrs. Yun didn't believe it, and she was surprised and distressed for a while.
He scolded helplessly, "You kid, don't say such stupid things in the future." ”
Liu Zhi took the opportunity to hold his mother's hand and said with a deliberately hippie smile, "Mother, my son knows." ”
He's a mother, everything is good, but she's too serious to joke.
It is said that his maternal grandfather Yunzhuang was just an ordinary scribe, but he had a strict personality and liked to read all his life.
Because there is only one girl under his knees, he has been carefully taught since he was a child, full of poetry and books, and he was quite famous when he was young.
However, her status was too lowly to marry as the main family, and after giving birth to her eldest son Liu Zhi, Liu Yi married the daughter of the family Ma as his wife.
This Mrs. Ma has a gentle and kind personality, and is very tolerant of their mother and son, and Yun Ming has never been pampered and arrogant, and has served Mrs. Ma very politely for so many years.
Liu Zhi doesn't have many memories of inheritance, but he is deeply impressed by this Mrs. Ma and several younger siblings.
In general, Liu Zhi's family can be regarded as a father and son, warm and friendly. It's just that I'm afraid he will never be able to enjoy this family affection.
"Mother, let my son serve you today."
Mrs. Yun loved her son, especially when he first recovered from a serious illness, and she had to watch him fall asleep every night before leaving.
The main reason is that he is worried that he will not be able to withstand the heat, and he will secretly eat ice juice to cool off. This child, the doctor specially explained, his spleen and stomach are weak, and he is intolerant of cold things.
Alas, a serious illness turned out to be like a child, and there was no self-control at all.
In these years, the medical conditions are limited, and there are many people who have children with high fever and have their brains burned, so Yun Ming has not suspected that his son has been stolen and replaced.
Fortunately, he is pure and filial by nature, and this has never changed, which made her feel relieved, and said with a tearful smile: "Okay, my son has grown up." ”
