Because Emperor Shengyuan was different from any emperor in the previous dynasty, he started his career with military merit and led millions of troops. Not to mention the act of filial piety and virtue passed down through the ages, such as chasing and sealing his biological mother, even if he occasionally faints, he will be able to forcibly fulfill his wish.
The next day, the imperial decree to pursue the empress dowager was announced to the world. With the Empress Dowager Yonglie in front, who would dare to criticize Mrs. Guan at all? Do not die? The people who had been crusades for this matter hurried home, locked the door to the room, and then collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely.
Fortunately, Mrs. Guan wrote an emotional and mournful sacrificial text, which greatly reversed the prejudice of the world and minimized the negative remarks about the caesarean section, otherwise it would have angered the emperor Longyan. From what he heard, scolding Mrs. Guan for practicing the demon way, and scolding Zhao Huaien for being the reincarnation of an evil spirit, doesn't it mean scolding the empress dowager and himself as demons and ghosts
Who would have thought that there is such a shocking inside story hidden here? Mrs. Guan's luck is simply against the sky, but it is also because she has the courage and courage that is far beyond ordinary people like the Queen Mother. If you want to be in the eyes of nobles, you really have to rely on real skills!
In just half a day, Mrs. Guan's reputation rose to the level of her father's, and those who scolded her for being ruthless and ruthless had no choice but to try to compliment her. In the second half of the day, the emperor issued several imperial decrees in succession, one for amnesty for the world; the second for tax relief and corvée service; the third for encore. The imperial examination, which was originally held three years later, will be set up in various prefectures and prefectures in the spring of next year. Whether it is the children of the high school or the poor, all can enter the official office with real talents and practical learning.
The first two decrees made the common people mad with joy and ran to tell each other; the latter decree provided a way for aspirants to realize their aspirations, and was highly praised. Various acts of benevolence and benevolence have been broken in succession, and the desolate bones have made the matter of chasing the empress dowager hot and grand.
On the streets, in the poor alleys, the voices of praying for the empress dowagers can be heard everywhere, and the praise of the emperor's benevolence and filial piety spread throughout the Wei state. Since Emperor Sheng Yuan's ascension to the throne, his prestige has risen again, and it has already begun to appear that the clouds are rising and dragons are rising, and they are dominating Kyushu.
The courtiers were all terrified and amazed. When they heard that he was going to hold a ritual for the Queen Mother, they all made suggestions and practiced it. Soon, Taishi Ling calculated the good time and auspicious time, and was scheduled to hold a 9,981-day ritual in Jueyin Temple three days later. Due to the heavy government affairs, the emperor personally presided over the ceremony for the first forty-nine days, and the rest of the ceremonies were visited by the descendants.
The matter is certain, Master Xuanguang, the host of Jueyin Temple, received an imperial edict, which deliberately mentioned Ruan, so that the monks should not neglect her sacrificial ceremony, let alone interrupt it at will. She also sacrificed herself to protect her children. She had a lot of fate with the Queen Mother, and it was also a good talk to transcend reincarnation together.
Master Xuanguang recited a sentence of Buddha, and he felt more and more admirable for the emperor's deep benevolence, but he had to ask the Zhao family to move the mourning hall out of the main hall, so as not to have nowhere to put the coffin of the first empress dowager. The Zhao family did not dare to compete with the empress dowager first, so they vacated the main hall in a short time and moved it to the monastery.
"The emperor is coming? Are you serious?" Hearing the news, Ye Zhen's heart beat wildly. Although she was sent out of the palace, she still had some illusions about Emperor Sheng Yuan, and she thought that since he had guessed that the life-saving grace of the year was a game, why didn't she kill herself or ask the servants to treat her harshly, but continued Jin Yihua Serving the ground to provide support, but also sending yourself back home in a good way? He is clearly reluctant to hurt himself, and there may still be some friendship in his heart. If he can wake up these friendships, he may be able to go back.
Feelings are all out of place. After all, she has stayed by his side for many years, so she is different from others.
Thinking like this, Ye Zhen's heart, which had been shattered by the repeated setbacks, unexpectedly filled with wild hope. She stared at her son with burning eyes and explained in a low voice, "Go and find out, see when the emperor will come and where is his residence."
No matter how ignorant Zhao Wangshu was, he understood that spying on the Emperor's trace was a capital offense, and he said in awe, "Mother, why are you asking about this? If my son accidentally reveals his deeds, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back!" awkward.
Seeing that he seemed very unhappy, Ye Zhen immediately coaxed, "Have you forgotten that your aunt is still suffering in the palace? I am a compatriot of hers, can't I just want to see her? She is now a culprit. , I can't be free, I don't have a grade, I'm soft-spoken, your stepmother doesn't like to see me, how can you care about it? I can't think of a way by myself? Who can I rely on besides you now? Your father and your sister are surrounded all day. With your stepmother going around, your grandmother has always hated me, and I'm afraid she would have wanted me to die outside! If I had known this, I should not have left my adoptive mother to come to the capital to find you after I regained my memory. It not only disturbed your peace, but also humbled myself. "While speaking, he covered his face and cried bitterly, his voice sad.
Zhao Luli has arranged her life experience, and now everyone outside knows that she was rescued by a kind-hearted old woman after falling into the Yellow River. Because the family lost all her children and her wife died early, she sent Ye who broke her head and lost her memory. Zhen recognized her as her own daughter and kept her under her knees. Somehow, Ye Zhen actually regained her memory, and only then did she return to Yanjing to find her relatives.
Zhao Chunxi scoffed at this statement, but Zhao Wangshu believed it to be true. Seeing his mother's sadness, he almost burst into tears, so he quickly comforted, "Mother, don't cry, it's my son's heart and soul, and he forgot his aunt in the palace. Go ask for news. But my son used to act absurdly, but now he has just started to work hard, and he is not very promising. I am afraid that he will not be able to inquire about the situation in the palace. Mother, why don't you let dad go to inquire? Although he does not have a title now, he has helped many old and weak soldiers. You are orphaned with soldiers, and they are quite prestigious in the army, if you tell him, things will not be impossible."
"How can I tell him? He is like your grandmother, I wish I would never come back! Son, mother is only you now, please help her. Also, don't let your father know about this, He already hates the Ye family deeply, and he is afraid that he will blame me for being a demon, and maybe he will send me back to Hedao County if he is unhappy." Ye Zhen tightly grabbed the corner of Zhao Wangshu's clothes.
"Don't worry, mother, I will never let daddy send you away. Although my stepmother is good, you are my biological mother after all, and no one can replace you." Zhao Wangshu gritted his teeth, "You wait here, I'll look for you. The former playmate asked for news." The words fell hurriedly out of the wing.
However, there is no need to inquire, the holy car arrived at the Jueyin Temple three days later. The courtiers and women of the fourth rank and above in Beijing all wore sacrificial clothes and gathered in the Daxiong Hall, ready to recite the scriptures for the first empress dowager, and the Taishi Ling presented a memorial, which wrote the The posthumous title jointly formulated by the ministers for the first empress dowager was originally "filial piety, kindness, xuankang, huicheng, huiren, mujing, shengxian empress dowager". Ren Mu Jing Sheng Tian Guangzhen and Empress Dowager Xian", with twenty characters, can be called the longest posthumous title in history, expressing his memory and love for his mother most vividly.
The courtiers did not dare to object, and quickly set a posthumous title, and someone else came in and said: Why do you only pursue the empress dowager and not the queen? The empress dowager is only the emperor's biological mother, but it does not mean that she is the first emperor's wife.
After the death of the mother, the bones were thrown into the deep mountains by the father to feed the wolves, so that now even the body cannot be found, and only the clothes can be erected. If the mother has a spirit in the sky, where would she want to be the father's wife and be buried in the same cave with him? A woman who can cut her own belly is so brave, she can't give in at all. In the eyes of others, it is a supreme honor, but in their eyes it may be worthless.
Based on this consideration, Emperor Shengyuan rejected the proposal to make his mother the queen, but was misunderstood by the courtiers as respecting the queen mother and did not want to hurt her old man's face.
----
Perhaps even the gods felt the bravery of the empress dowager and the filial piety and sincerity of Emperor Shengyuan. When the mourning came, it rained. At this time, the late autumn is coming to an end, and the early winter is quietly approaching. Although the rain is as fine as fog, it is wrapped in a cold air.
It stands to reason that women should be arranged in order of grade. The more noble their status, the more inward they will be. They can kneel down in a dry place in the hall to worship and recite sutras, and there are braziers scattered around to increase the temperature. uncomfortable. Those with lower grades are out of luck. The more they stand outside, the colder they get. Although there are more braziers, there is no eaves to cover the rain.
However, on such a grand occasion, no one dared to show any resentment, and could only find their own futon to kneel down. If you perform well, you may be able to get into the eyes of nobles, which is also a credit.
But Guan Suyi stood under the porch with a straight waist and did not move for a long time. The woman in charge of the rituals, guests, and funerals came over, seemingly polite, but in reality she asked aggressively, "Mrs. Guan, everyone has already taken their places, why didn't you take your seat? If you disturb the sacrifice of the Queen Mother, can you afford it? "
Guan Suyi looked at the sky and said indifferently, "You have been thinking too much. There is still an hour before the ceremony, and you still have time to rearrange your seats."
"Why should I re-rank?" the woman asked angrily.
"I am a first-rank official, and I should be kneeling in the hall. Why did you line up me with a third-rank gentleman?" Guan Suyi didn't want to care about this, but her seat was clearly arranged by someone, and she just happened to be out. The eaves were drenched in rain, and that wasn't enough. The rainwater caught by the eaves converged along the tile grooves and poured down her head. In less than a quarter of an hour, she would definitely be soaked all over. The ground under the futon was also damaged by a few green bricks, and there were jagged stones exposed. Kneeling on it was like kneeling on needle felt, and within half a day, her knees would be abolished.
She really couldn't think of whom she had a life-and-death feud with in the palace, and she wanted to deal with her like this. Emperor Shengyuan wanted to take a wife, but he would never make it public, and only the Queen Mother was the only one who thought about it. Because she woke up Emperor Sheng Yuan by cutting her own abdomen, and ruined her entire plan, how could she not hate herself to the core
This woman is probably sent by the queen mother, and she has carefully selected the seat for herself. If they tried their best to delay and refused to give in an inch, they would not be able to make a big noise in the palace and disrupt the sacrificial ceremony. Thinking like this, Guan Suyi was full of anger, but she was helpless.
She has always known the terrifying and dirty power of power, and how it kills people without blood. If you are strong, you will be humiliated. If you are strong, you will be easily broken. You don't want to be here.
