Chapter 296: Death and Life
Deng Meng also sighed: "Speaking of which, the three brothers and sisters in the family, my father loved me the most at the beginning, but who knows that I am the most useless now." ”
Liu Zhi couldn't help but sigh a little when he saw her gloomy, thinking of the little pepper when he first met him in Nancheng.
and the dignified and polite queen in front of him, it is like two people.
After entering the palace for so many years, Deng Meng is a qualified queen, but all this is in exchange for her suppressing her nature.
Thinking about it carefully, how long has it been since I have seen her smile happily, it can be seen that her life in the palace is not so comfortable.
The character of the Deng family follows his father, and he is free by nature, adventurous, and unwilling to live a life of deceit.
But now Deng Meng's environment is contrary to her original wishes, and she is forced to be a virtuous and generous traditional woman.
He Liu Zhi is also from later generations, and he is no better than the ancient feudal monarchs in this regard.
"If we were just a normal couple, what would you most like to do?"
Deng Meng was stunned for a moment, and almost blurted out, "What I want to do most is to travel all over the three mountains and five mountains with you and see the customs of the world......"
Before he finished speaking, he stopped suddenly, this simple wish was an impossible luxury for the emperor and queen.
What good is it to speak out and increase your troubles?
Liu Zhi hugged her shoulder with some pity, "Don't worry, one day this wish will come true." ”
Deng Meng only thought that he was comforting himself, and he didn't care, after so many years, His Majesty was still willing to comfort him with soft words, and she should be content.
Liu Zhi suddenly remembered that not long after she entered the palace, he had promised to take her to Shanglin Yuan to hunt and play.
Who knew that she didn't make the trip when she became pregnant, and he forgot about the matter that came and went.
"Why don't you prepare, I'll take you and Anyang to Shanglin Yuan to play for a few days, okay?"
When Deng Meng heard this, she was overjoyed, her favorite thing as a child was to follow her father to hunt and fish outside the city.
"Great, then I'll go get ready right away."
Looking at Deng Meng, who was full of interest and immediately commanded the palace people to pack up, the smile on his face was bright and bright, and Liu Zhi suddenly found that she was just a woman in her twenties.
In order to conform to the queen's identity over the years, she has always made up old makeup, and her clothes are mainly plain and dark colors.
Coupled with the fact that he is not smiling, he looks ten years old.
After so many years of operation, the court no longer needs him to keep an eye on it all the time, and the perfect and mature system makes the court like a huge machine, running automatically without sleep.
Therefore, even if he is in the suburbs, he can still control the court and the central government freely, and every day there will be an internal servant from the province of Menxia who will quickly send all kinds of pieces to his desk.
Because it is summer, the day is not suitable for hunting, a family of three leisurely sleep until they wake up naturally, gossip about homely things, and look at the scenery.
Princess Anyang is almost seven years old, and Liu Zhi finally has time to play with her like an ordinary loving father.
I have nothing to do to help her with tutoring homework, but fortunately, my daughter is smart and clever, and she can understand it at a glance, but he didn't taste the taste of chickens and dogs jumping and blood pressure rising.
In the evening, Liu Zhi took Deng Meng, who was dressed in military uniform, to hunt in the forest and enjoy the pleasure of galloping the world.
Deng Meng also practiced riding and archery when he was a child, and it is said that his skills are not bad, and he has not completely abandoned them after entering the palace.
Especially after Princess Anyang was a little older, she clamored to set up a martial arts arena in the courtyard of Changqiu Palace.
At the beginning, Deng Meng would occasionally accompany his daughter to practice, but later found that he could use this to relieve pressure, so he took time to practice for a period of time every day.
On the contrary, Liu Zhi's riding and archery kung fu is a half-ass, and he has been busy with government affairs for many years, so he has little time to practice.
As soon as he got started, Liu Zhi found that he couldn't keep up with her pace, Deng Meng seemed to be a different person in the mountains and forests, he was vigorous and decisive, and he was completely at ease.
Even with the careful cooperation of the guards, Liu Zhi's harvest was not as much as Deng Meng's.
It was a novelty to him, as if he had never really understood the woman in front of him.
She is so energetic, full of the elegance and confidence of a mature woman, but she retains a girlish brightness and coquettishness.
Liu Zhi, who originally planned to return in three days, ended up staying in Shanglin Yuan day after day, and half a month passed, but the emperor and queen were still happy.
Since nothing major happened in the DPRK and China, everything was in order step by step, Liu Zhile had to command remotely, and there was no delay in both state affairs and entertainment.
Besides, it is the scorching heat now, the heat in Beijing, and the trees in Shanglin Garden are verdant and the cool breeze is blowing, which is just right to escape the heat.
However, he did not forget to send the cleaned prey back to the palace as a gift to the Empress Dowager Yun and the concubines.
After wandering here for almost a month, news came from the palace that Concubine Shu was seriously ill, and Liu Zhi hurried back with Deng Meng and his daughter.
Since he found out that Tian Mi abused his daughter last year, the two have gradually become estranged, but he still has a lot of feelings for Concubine Shu, although there are fewer people, but the rewards are still continuous.
Besides, the country was in turmoil last year, and he had much less energy in the harem than before.
Although Geng Xian was demoted to Zhaoyi, he won Liu Zhi's affection, and he divided the world with Tian Mi and the queen, and was equal to each other.
Concubine Shu's health is not good on weekdays, and she hurt her foundation when she gave birth, and she has been sick and crooked all these years, and the Yingchun Palace has never broken the imperial doctor.
But in general, it is frailty and sentimentality, and most of the time it is a problem of cold, cough, and gastrointestinal disharmony, which is not fatal.
At this time, I suddenly heard that she was seriously ill, and even Liu Zhi was taken aback, how to say that she was still young, and she looked like a moon, so why not.
For a while, I remembered the scene of love at first sight in the court, and I was also very pity.
In the Spring Festival Palace, the former flower-like beauty is curled up in the wide brocade quilt, and it looks thinner than the yellow flower.
Seeing Liu Zhi, a bright light erupted in his godless eyes, "Your Majesty......"
He had already learned on the road that Tian Mi originally just had ordinary typhoid fever, but later because of depression, he gradually turned into tuberculosis.
A few days ago, she couldn't sleep late at night and ran to the garden to hurt the spring and autumn, but she suffered from the wind and cold, and her illness worsened sharply.
After a few days of hard work, the medicine stone was useless, and he was dying.
Although Empress Dowager Yun has never liked her very much, after all, it is Liu Zhi's favorite, and when she arrives at this field, she can only inform him quickly.
Liu Zhi held her thin hand and called softly, "Ah Mi." ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine is only afraid that she will not live long, her fate in this life is over, and she is willing to serve Your Majesty in the next life."
Hearing her make such desolate words, Liu Zhi couldn't help but be gloomy and comforted.
"You relax, this disease will get better slowly, I'll accompany you more in the future, okay?"
Tian Mi shook his head sadly, "I know my body, thanks to His Majesty's favor, I blame the concubine for not being blessed." ”
When a person is about to die, his words are also mournful, Tian Mi turned his head to look at his daughter who was crying in the corner, and beckoned gently.
"Ah Sleeve, my mother can't stand you, I haven't taken good care of you on weekdays, don't hate me, follow my father obediently in the future."
Princess Wuyang Liu Sleeve is four years old, inherited her mother's beauty, and was born with pink carving, which is the most outstanding of the three princesses.
However, due to the fact that Tian Mi has always been too emotional and moody, Liu Sleeve is naturally trembling in such an environment.
He looks thin and petite, and he is endearing.
At this time, he walked over timidly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Tian Mi's hand, "Mother, don't cry, Ah Chong will be obedient in the future." ”
Tian Mi smiled gently, but in the last moments of his life, he radiated the brilliance of maternal love.
"Your Majesty, this child has a hard life, she has no mother since she was a child, and I hope Your Majesty will have a lot of mercy, and when she grows up, she will marry an ordinary family......"
said that he couldn't cry anymore, but Liu Zhi vaguely felt from this sentence that Tian Mi actually regretted entering the palace back then.
It's a pity that not everyone is like him and can have the opportunity to do it all over again.
Taking Liu Sleeve's hand, Liu Zhi assured her, "Don't worry, I will never treat her badly." ”
Hearing this, Tian Mi smiled and nodded, closed his eyes tiredly, and fell into a coma.
That night, Concubine Tian Mi died of incense, Liu Zhi sighed, posthumously named her as a concubine, and held a grand funeral.
and sealed her father's and brother's family, which can be regarded as her final confession.
Princess Wuyang Liu Sleeve was also sent to Yong'an Palace, and together with Liu Zhen, she was taken care of by Queen Yun.
According to the rules before the harem of the Han Dynasty, the princess and prince who lost their mother were generally raised by the queen, but Liu Zhi didn't want to block her, not to mention that the Empress Dowager also liked children.
Originally, Empress Dowager Yun planned to choose a concubine for Liu Zhi this year, but when such a thing happened, she had to drag it back.
Now Liu Zhi's harem, one has entered the cold palace, the other has passed away, and only six concubines are left, which is indeed a little less for an emperor.
However, Liu Zhi wanted to abolish the concubine selection system, feeling that it would not only cost the people and money, but also it would be difficult to choose a suitable woman, which was really not cost-effective.
It's better to change the way and go with the flow, his Liu Zhi's women are better to be consensual, rather than becoming a tool for family interests.
But the selection of palace maids cannot be stopped, after all, he promised that every five years, a group of palace maids over the age of twenty-two will be released to return to their hometowns to marry.
Now that the time limit has expired, he instructed Deng Meng to step up the handling of this matter and not lose his trust in the people.
As for the matter of choosing a concubine, it is very difficult to abolish it, and it may cause unanimous opposition from the courtiers and the queen mother.
Since this year has been suspended, let's delay it for a while, and then make a move after thinking about it, after all, the courtiers have passed the pass.
What they want to see is that Liu Zhi can leave an orthodox heir, as long as this article is guaranteed, wouldn't it be better not to indulge in wine.
The key is that it is difficult for the mother to make sense, and it is best to find a suitable time, so as not to hurt her old man's heart.
After the autumn, the palace maids who have reached their age are counted everywhere in the palace, but they are also voluntary and not mandatory.
Among them, a small number of women have no relatives and no reason outside, and they are used to life in the palace, especially those who are still relatively mixed, and they are not willing to go out at all.
Cash or Coins Red Envelopes have been distributed to your account! WeChat pay attention to the public account to receive!
Sili Prefecture and several populous states close to Luoyang have received the task of selecting palace maids, and the people of the world have had a better life in the past two years, and there are not as many families who are willing to send their daughters to the palace as before.
However, there are few masters in the palace, and the palace maids needed are much less than in the previous Shundi period, plus Liu Zhi has always advocated frugality, and the number of people in the palaces everywhere is stuck to the minimum.
Therefore, the states easily completed the recruitment task and sent them to the palace before winter began.
This came and went, and it cost a lot of money in the palace, which made Liu Zhi's already stretched finances even more embarrassing.
Alas, when he first ascended the throne, he was empty-handed, and now nine years have passed, and he is still empty.
Speaking of which, he is also an emperor who is good at making money, but when he spends money, it is like running water, and he will never be able to save it.
In the winter of this year, Yangzhou Mu Chen Fan and Qingzhou Mu Li Ying both returned to Beijing to report on their work, braved the cold wind and snow, and entered the Beijing Division one after the other.
Liu Zhi met Li Ying for the first time, this is a thin and resolute middle-aged Confucian scholar, with sharp words, but not reckless, and has the style of a famous man.
Qingzhou has developed very well in recent years, people's livelihood has returned to normal, and many water conservancy projects have been built.
The two exchanged views on the general trend of the world, Liu Zhi admired Li Ying very much, he had a straightforward personality and outstanding reasoning and analysis skills, so he decided to transfer him back to Beijing to serve as the secretary of Dali Temple.
Dali Siqing is a positive third grade, and it seems that it has been lowered by one grade, but one is a Beijing official and the other is a foreign position, and the difference is big.
Generally according to the rules, when the Beijing official is of the same grade as the foreign officer, he will automatically be two levels higher, so Li Ying is clearly reduced and promoted.
Moreover, Dali Siqing is such an important position of real power, and it is difficult to compare with ordinary virtual positions.
Chen Fan and Liu Zhi are much more familiar with each other, when Liu Zhi was just in power, he served as a councilor, although his position was low, he could accompany the emperor for a long time.
The relationship between the two is very harmonious, and Chen Fan also gave Liu Zhi, who had no experience in government at the beginning, a lot of good ideas.
Later, both of them were worried that the emperor did not have enough control over the local area, so they invited themselves to Yangzhou, and Liu Zhi gave him two important tasks at that time.
One is to crack down on local cults and completely extinguish them, and the other is to restore agricultural production and return the world to a land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.
Over the years, Yangzhou has also been plagued by many disasters, with floods and epidemics, including the crisis of the family's assassination of him.
Fortunately, Chen Fan's ability was extraordinary, and all of them were successfully resolved, and he took advantage of the epidemic to convert most of the witch doctors into official doctors.
The rest of the stubborn people were severely punished, and these dangerous elements who hid risks were completely eliminated.
Although productivity has been hit to a certain extent again due to the impact of the epidemic, the entire foundation has developed.
As long as there are no major disasters in the future, agricultural production will soon be able to increase.
Therefore, he can be regarded as having successfully completed his task, and the two monarchs and ministers have not seen each other for many years, so it is inevitable that they are a little rusty.
"I want to transfer you back to Jingshi, serve as the Zhongshu Order, and appoint another person over there in Yangzhou."
This was discussed between the two before Chen Fan left Beijing, and they said that they would help him settle down in a good place, and they would enter the court to assist him.
