retaliate

Chapter 1569

There is probably no group in the world more narcissistic than the emperor.

When the first emperor called out that I am the Son of Heaven, this group was mythologized.

Son of Heaven!

Son of Heaven!
What humans fear most is God. They believe that everything in the world is arranged by God, including the fate of everyone.

The sky is invisible, but it has a son!
Its son is in the world and governs the world as its agent.

The first emperor knew that he was fooling the world, but the second emperor began to believe that he really had some inexplicable relationship with God.

Dynasties changed, and hundreds of years later, the emperor firmly believed that he was the son of heaven.

The son of heaven is naturally the most noble thing in the world.

Things are used here instead of people because emperors often feel that they are not people.

I am a god!
But this god, like ordinary people, has to eat, drink, and sleep.

Their desires are even stronger than ordinary people, so they have taken many women into their harem.

Since then, these women have become the emperor's taboo, and no male creature is allowed to touch them.

So they use maids of honor, servants who have castrated their male characteristics, and they feel safe.

But when they were about to die, they expressed emotion again: After my death, what if someone is unwilling to be lonely?
Moreover, I will be lonely underground!
So, let's die!

The childless concubine followed me to another world and continued to serve me.

Some other emperors felt a little cruel, so they changed their method, and after their death, they asked those women to become monks to pray for themselves, and incidentally, it was also a destination for them.

Look, how merciful I am!

This policy was implemented most thoroughly in Datang.When the emperor died, the concubines who had sons would go to the son's fief.As for the concubines who have no sons, they all went to practice outside Fangwai, and ended up with this remaining life.

The place outside the square is called the Chuchen Courtyard, and you can tell what it is just by hearing the name... To go out of the world is to break with the world of mortals.

Chang'an City is like a big chessboard, and those squares and cities are like the grids on the chessboard, looking square and neat.But behind the palace, there is a place that deviates from this square, called Forbidden Garden.

As the name suggests, the Forbidden Garden is the property of the royal family, and at this time it can be understood as a separate courtyard of the royal family.

And the hospital of leaving dust is in the forbidden garden.

In this way, the world of mortals was isolated and matched with the name.

After the filial emperor Li Xun was poisoned to death, most of his women were thrown into the dusty courtyard.

Chen Yun'er, the daughter of left chancellor Chen Shen and the deposed concubine, was also there.

It is said to be a monastery, but here it is a bit complicated. For example, those outsiders who monitor the emperor's women look like nuns, but the objects they monitor have long hair and wear more like Taoist robes.

The old Li family shamelessly clings to a certain Taoist power, but their own beliefs are a little messy.

When it was still dark, Chen Yun'er woke up.

Get up peacefully, wash up peacefully, and start morning classes peacefully.

After morning class, she still has to go to the bathroom.

The dust-discharge yard is not small, so there are many places that need to be cleaned.

Chen Yuner was sweeping the floor at a constant pace, and the monitoring nun said, "Chen Yuner, hurry up, don't drag me down for breakfast."

Chen Yun'er glanced at her calmly, "Yes."

The nun muttered, "When we get here, even the queen has to bow her head."

After the emperor's woman was thrown here, she has been isolated from the outside world ever since.What kind of family visits do not exist. After the death of the emperor, the family members regard them as dead people.

And the palace... Sorry, the palace has always been a place where newcomers only laugh and old people cry.

Therefore, these nuns here are heaven, and those women who were once high above are earth and slaves.

Sweeping, washing clothes, carrying water, helping in the kitchen... These women have become maids here.

Most women are spoiled and unable to do it, so they protest, but they are not given food for a few meals, and immediately cry bitterly, saying that they can try.

After Chen Yun'er came in, she was very taciturn, and she did whatever she was asked to do.At the beginning, the servant who delivered the rice grains said that the emperor Xiao Jing poisoned the empress and was killed by poison.As a result, the attitude of those nuns towards them changed drastically, and they treated them harshly for a while.

It wasn't until the emperor regretted it and gave the deposed prince as a tribute to the emperor that Chen Yun'er's situation improved.

But even so, you still have to work every day.

After sweeping the floor, Chen Yuner followed to the dining hall.

There are long tables and benches in the dining hall, and everyone has a meal: one pancake, vegetables are shared.In this early spring season, there are no fresh vegetables, only dried vegetables soup.

A bowl of soup, a pancake, plain and disappointing.

Chen Yun'er chewed very slowly, as if she was eating delicious food in the world.

After breakfast, she still had to sweep the floor...

When the House of Tradition was first established, the first steward once said: Once these once golden and precious women are knocked out of the dust, all kinds of unwillingness will drive them crazy.The best way is to let them have no time to think wildly.

Therefore, their days in the asylum were to work, work, and work...

The days when the head could be seen at a glance made many women despair. Some people twisted their clothes into a rope at night and hanged themselves behind the door.The nuns who didn't see anyone in the early morning would come to look for them aggressively, and when they opened the door...

When dying, they also want to vent their breath.

There are also many people who have become lunatics, muttering or roaring all day long, treating everyone as their former servants.

Chen Yun'er took the broom and swept slowly.

A nun came over, "Chen Yuner, someone sees you."

Chen Yun'er raised her head slowly, and calmly followed.

Outside the hospital, an old man in green shirt stood there. When he saw Chen Yun'er, he couldn't help crying, "My son, I have suffered so much for you."

The person who came was Chen Shen, former Prime Minister of the Left.

Chen Yuner calmly blessed her body, "Aye."

This is the first man with a full beard and tail to appear in the Forbidden Garden in the past 20 years.

It is said that all must be complete, but Chen Shen is very old, and he probably has no function.

When father and daughter met, Chen Shen felt guilty, but Chen Yun'er was very calm.

"It's life. Besides, I'm fine here."

"How can this be good?" Chen Shen sighed: "Your Majesty is merciful. Yesterday I summoned my father and said that if there are any women from the late emperor who are willing to go home, they will take them. You are among them. When my father heard this, he couldn't wait. coming."

"Your Majesty?" Chen Yun'er showed disgust for the first time.

"You are isolated from the world here, and those nuns are unwilling to tell. After Shi Ni, His Majesty entered Chang'an and ascended the throne. Li Mi hid in Shu. His Majesty broke through Shu next year and captured Li Mi and his son..."

"Okay!" Chen Yun'er nodded.

"Your Majesty has found out what happened back then, Yun'er, the matter about Concubine De was written by Li Mi and his son."

"I know, he won't do such a foolish thing."

"Do you know who poisoned it back then?"

"Li Mi!"

"Li Mi's idea, Yang Songcheng's hand."

Chen Yun'er closed her eyes, "The emperor is..."

"Your nominal son."

"That child of the Huang family back then?"

"Correct."

"At the beginning, I thought about his intention to send that child away at the last moment. After much deliberation, there was only one explanation, which was that he was not reconciled. I thought it was wishful thinking, but I didn't expect... It was God's arrangement! "

"Yun'er, come home with Weifu!"

Chen Shen said: "After returning from the land of Shu, Your Majesty wanted to bring my father to the court, but my father didn't want to go to the muddy water anymore, so he begged for the bones. Let's go back, because my father knows that you have suffered all these years. After suffering a lot, I happened to resign for my father, so I took you out for a walk..."

Chen Yuner shook her head, "No need."

"Yun'er, you..." Chen Shen was stunned.

"If Aye came when I first came in, I would be ecstatic, as if I had received amnesty. If it was ten years ago, I would be happy, feeling that God has treated me well. But now I am used to the life here..."

Chen Yun'er said: "Recite scriptures every day, clean and do things, eat, sleep...so busy that there is no time to think about those old things that disgust me. Without thinking or thinking, I actually feel that this is life. And The world of mortals outside, Aye, I have nothing to worry about."

Chen Shen smiled wryly, "What about being a father?"

"Aye, you have been an important minister for many years, and now you have completed your meritorious deeds. The children and grandchildren in the family will naturally be filial to you. As for me, when you got married, you once said: married daughter, poured water, from now on, you are Li's wife .”

Chen Yun'er blessed her body, "From now on, I am a foreigner, take care, Aye."

Chen Yun'er went in, but Chen Shen stayed outside for a long time and refused to leave.

Until more than ten riders came.

"His Majesty?"

It was the emperor who came.

"Why is this, Mr. Chen?" the emperor asked.

Chen Shen smiled wryly, "The little girl doesn't want to go back."

The emperor was startled, and then entered the courtyard of exorcism.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

This is the first time in many years that an emperor has entered the Ascension House.

There was a sensation in the whole courtyard.

"How many of those women are willing to leave?" asked the emperor.

The nun in charge said respectfully: "Most of them are unwilling to leave. They say that they have been in the dust and discharge hospital for many years, and they have already cut off contact with their family members. If they go back now, they will be disgusted by others."

"There is no filial son in bed for a long time, let alone a woman who has been married for many years!" The emperor sighed.

"Your Majesty is wise. Earlier, those women wanted to go out desperately. After staying here for a few years, they died down."

You have to give in to the emperor's woman, but who has the heart?

The nun asked, "I don't know who His Majesty is here to see."

"Chen Yuner!"

……

Later, the emperor waited for Chen Yun'er in a pavilion.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Chen Yuner is blessed.

It looked very peaceful.

"In name, I have to call you mother!" The emperor cupped his hands. This was the first time the two met after many years, and the last time the emperor was in his infancy.

"Don't dare!" Chen Yun'er bowed back.

"I won't interfere with your going or staying. I came here to ask about the relationship between the former emperor and the first emperor."

"The first emperor?"

"Yes."

Chen Yun'er raised her eyes, and many images flooded into her mind instantly.

Her cheeks trembled slightly, "Is it the empress? I haven't thought about it for many years, but thinking about it now, I feel unbearable."

"Oh!" said the emperor, "What happened back then!"

"That year... I just entered the palace, and the emperor and empress praised me as IKEA and IKEA. The days that followed were uneventful. Until the crown prince told me one day that this Tang Dynasty could not go on like this, To innovate alone..."
