The eyes of the emperor were muddy and dull, and he didn't know where to fall.
"His Majesty."
The speaker was Tai Shi Ling Han Zhang, he was the Queen Mother’s will, kneeling in front of the emperor’s couch, holding a pen to record the emperor’s last words.
Han Zhang knew what he wanted to record, and he was so nervous that the clothes on his back were wet with sweat.
Tianzi's eyes slowly turned, but there was still no response.
When the atmosphere in the emperor's bedroom was deadlocked, Xiao Xuan walked in.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Xiao Xuan, and Wang Yu wore a jade crown on his head, dressed in formal clothes, and walked in with his head high. After losing the childishness and sharpness of the past, everyone found that the king of Yu has grown into a responsible and intelligent person.
In the past two years, King Yu has experienced a lot. Everything he has experienced has allowed him to accumulate all his stalwart sharpness. It is not forbearance, but a kind of tranquility after the end of a thousand sails, just like a piece of **, even if it is calm on the surface. There is no wave, but there is a power brewing in it that you dare not to underestimate.
People's cognition of this little prince is probably that of the young prince, and it has been taught by heaven. Now Xiao Xuan appeared in front of everyone again, and everyone suddenly realized that, before they knew it, this little prince had been out of his way. The father is exactly the same.
When everyone was watching Wang Yu, no one noticed that Concubine Xian's face was as pale as paper, and the look in her eyes gradually disappeared.
The emperor seemed to have seen Xiao Xuan, and his breathing suddenly became hurried. He looked at the empress and seemed to want to say something.
The queen hurriedly walked over and lifted the emperor to let the emperor lean on her shoulder.
The Queen Mother cast a color on Shi Mingguang, and when Shi Mingguang nodded her head, she said, "The emperor, now you are very ill and you are in bed, but the court is in a state of anxiety. You can't live without the monarch who handles government affairs, Laijia. I have summoned all the ministers to ask you, is there a suitable candidate for the throne?"
Although everyone knew that the emperor was running out of time, they were still a little surprised at the direct questioning of the Queen Mother.
The emperor opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but only a violent gasp was left.
"Your Majesty, what do you want to say?" The queen patted the emperor's back lightly to give him comfort.
The emperor held the queen's hand tightly, almost breaking the hand bones of the queen, and I don't know where his strength, who had been ill for a long time, was. Although the queen suffered pain, she couldn't win the emperor's hand, so she had to continue to bear it.
The emperor looked at Xiao Xuan again, and from Xiao Xuan's face, he seemed to be able to see the appearance of his younger brother who died young.
The younger brother he had been jealous of since childhood, the younger brother who often brought him nightmares in his sleep even if he died.
The emperor pointed at Xiao Xuan, his gaze was like a torch, he wanted to make people drag Xiao Xuan down and immediately cut his waist, but when the words came to his lips, they became: "**Yu Wang—"
The emperor had just said four words, and the officials looked at Xiao Xuan in astonishment, why would they confuse King Yu? Don’t the emperor still have several princes
The emperor also realized that what he said seemed to be against his will. His throat was stubborn and his face flushed. The emperor felt unable to breathe and wanted to say something, but his breathing became more and more difficult. He pinched his neck. , His nails sank deeply into the skin, and in the end, he lost the strength to struggle. In this way, staring at the beam with his eyes open, his body was already stiff.
The ministers reacted, all squatting on the ground, crying bitterly.
Han Zhang trembled while holding the pen, and finally wrote on the paper: "The emperor collapsed in Chengqian Palace, **Yu Wang Xiao Xuan".
The queen held the already cold hand of the emperor, she was stunned.
After a long time, it finally became clear that the man she had married for dozens of years had finally left.
The empress dowager’s eyes were a little sore. Back then, she sacrificed her eldest daughter Linglong, and her youngest son died in battle. Now she is watching her eldest son die in front of her, and the eldest son’s death is still her own handwriting.
Even if there is not much love between mother and child, she is still very heavy in her heart to watch her son die in front of her eyes.
Xiao Xuan knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor.
When the emperor collapsed, the world mourned, the princes, noble ministers, and clan officials were all dressed in plain clothes. Women removed powdered jewelry, and marriage, music, and slaughter were forbidden inside and outside the palace.
Wang Yu wore mourning clothes and cried in Zi Gong on the 27th. On the 28th, the king Yu helped the emperor's coffin in the imperial tomb.
The new emperor ascended to the throne and was held at Fengtianmen. It was a cloudless sunny day.
The new emperor was dressed in a mysterious robes and a crown on his head, stepping up the vermilion steps.
The civil and military officials wore dresses. When the auspicious time arrived, the new emperor had finished his prayers, and the Da Xing Ling sang and saluted.
Da Xing Ling unfolds the edict, reads the edict aloud, and the three officials say long live.
Enthroned ** ceremony.
After Xiao Xuan succeeded to the throne, he respected the empress dowager as the empress dowager, the empress was the empress dowager, his father was Zhou Xiaowen, and his mother was empress Xiaowensi, and his wife Xie was canonized as the queen.
Xie Yunqing's attack occurred the day before Xiao Xuan ascended the throne.
She was in pain for a day and a night, and gave birth to Xiao Xuan's first child when Chaoyang first rose, a crying prince.
The Queen Mother named him "Chang".
Xie Yunqing, who had just given birth, was so tired that she didn't even want to move a finger. She lay in her arms and looked at Chang'er on the side. The newborn child was all red and wrinkled, but Xie Yunqing liked it how he liked it.
Because Xu stayed with her mother, Chang'er slept very peacefully.
Such a small person is the flesh and blood connected to her, Xie Yunqing can't see enough.
Thinking of the moment the child was born, Xiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the mother and the child were safe, and then began to dislike how Chang'er is a belt, but he said disgusting, when Wen Po delivered the cleaned and wrapped Chang'er. When it was given to him, Xiao Xuan still smiled and took it.
Because it was the first time to be a father, I was so excited that Xiao Xuan would not let go of holding Chang'er.
His son, he was born to the woman he loved all his life.
Xiao Xuan looked at Xie Yunqing, who had already fallen asleep, with tenderness in his eyes.
Xie Yunqing entered the palace in a carriage after she was out of confinement.
The queen mother has now moved to Taikang Palace, and Changqiu Palace is cleaned out to welcome the new queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Xiao Xuan went down to the court and headed straight for the Changqiu Palace.
These days, he lived alone in Chengqian Palace. Although it was only a month, he felt as if he hadn't seen his wife and children for a long time.
He still remembered that the last time he saw Chang'er, his whole body was red, like a monkey, but now that he saw Chang'er again, Chang'er has grown a lot, with fair complexion and big eyes. Chang'er lay in Xie Yunqing's arms and looked at Xiao Xuan's face when he heard the movement.
But he is still young, where does he know people? After only one glance, he continued to bury his face on Xie Yunqing's chest, arching back and forth.
Xie Yunqing was slightly embarrassed and stuffed Chang'er into Xiao Xuan's arms, "Your son, come and hold him."
Chang'er is still limp, but he has sunk a lot compared to just born.
Xiao Xuan held Chang'er's head in one hand, and Chang'er's small ass in the other. He stared at Chang'er's face for a long time, and said enthusiastically: "A Qing
, Who do you think this kid looks like? "
"You are still young, where can you tell who you look like?" Xie Yunqing was too lazy to cater to him.
Xiao Xuan gave a big kiss on Chang'er's cheek, and no longer disliked that this kid was a son. Chang'er's round eyes kept staring at Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan's heart was about to melt, and immediately... How did you feel that your palms were wet
"What's the matter?" Xie Yunqing asked when he noticed Xiao Xuan's strangeness.
"He, it seems to be peeing." Xiao Xuan's face was dark, and naturally he didn't dare to throw Chang'er away.
Xie Yunqing held back his smile, and quickly took Chang'er over, and raised her voice to call the nanny to come in and hug Chang'er to change her clothes.
Xiao Xuan washed his hands and sat down beside Xie Yunqing.
The husband and wife talked with each other, enjoying the rare tranquility.
The next month after Xie Yunqing moved to the Changqiu Palace, she began to say that it was time to enrich the harem for her majesty. He also said tactfully that the daughter in his family was well-behaved and gentle, and she was just the age to be married. Xie Yunqing just smiled, but did not respond.
Although the ladies of life are all human beings, they don't put Xie Yunqing in their eyes because of their old age. But the young queen is helpless, and they don't dare to say serious things.
Xie Yong took Gu Yunshuang to tour the mountains and rivers, Xie Run assaulted the Jue, and inherited the huge Guogong Mansion. Xie Cong and Xie Zhang were both young talents reused by the emperor. Xie's grandfather was a teacher of the emperor, and his uncles were also very prestigious ministers.
It can be said that no one can shake the two mountains of Xie's and Gu's. As long as Xie's and Gu's do not fall, the position of Xie's queen will not move.
Gradually, there are courtiers writing letters, and your majesty should take in the harem and continue to have children.
Xiao Xuan stopped him because the first emperor had just passed away and was not suitable for drafting during the national funeral.
The ministers had to give up temporarily.
One year later, Xie gave birth to the second son of the emperor, and two years later, Xie gave birth to the third son of the emperor.
Seeing that my daughter was almost past the age of marrying, the civil and military officials were unwilling to submit letters, persuading your majesty to draft, and some wives directly and unceremoniously taught Xie Yunqing that being a wife should be virtuous and generous.
At that time, Xie Yun’s Qing mother ceremony was in the world for several years, and he became more and more obsessed. He was not annoyed. He just smiled and said: "This matter has also persuaded your majesty, but your majesty insists on shirking, and this palace can’t do anything. Several ladies might as well go. Your Majesty said before?"
The wives secretly scolded the Xie family for being jealous, and they returned home helplessly, but what they were waiting for was a "great gift."
Xiao Xuan sent flowers to every minister who persuaded him to accept his concubine.
Now that the ministers can't handle the things in their own backyard, how can there be time to manage your majesty's harem? After this incident, they finally realized that His Majesty was determined not to accept the concubine, and they stopped.
With three princes under Xiao Xuan's knees, he increasingly wanted a soft and sweet daughter. He was pestering Xie Yunqing this day. Xie Yunqing was so entangled by him that he said in an aura: "It's not my decision to have children and daughters. , Xiao Xuan, get out of the way, don't prevent me from sleeping."
"Daughter-in-law, let's work harder." Xiao Xuan resolutely did not let go of her, hooked her, and tossed Xie Yunqing for most of the night.
In the tenth year of his ascension to the throne, Xiao Xuan finally waited for the girl he missed, and there were two at once.
The two little princesses were soft and fragrant. Xiao Xuan kept staring at them with a smirk, and personally named his daughter, the eldest daughter was Yan, and the second daughter was Xi. When the two little princesses gradually matured and married each other, Xiao Xuan finally realized how Xie Yong felt when she married her daughter. Of course, this is something to follow.
