Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1114
Although Yuancheng was not damaged by the previous turmoil in the capital, and the emperor, empress and other nobles had all returned to the garden, the atmosphere in the whole Yuancheng was still desolate and deserted.

The palace houses are hung with mourning silk and plain onyx, and all kinds of furnishings are extremely simple and plain. There is hardly any human voice or noise in the big garden city. Like a walking dead, unsmiling, afraid to walk around and make noise.

It has been several days since the emperor returned to the palace, so naturally the coffin of the empress dowager also returned together.But at the moment, there is still confusion among the people in the Taiyuan, and there is a shortage of ministries, so the funeral ceremony has not yet started.

The empress dowager's body has been under confinement for a long time, which is naturally a concern for the ministers.However, there was nothing they could do about it, because the emperor stopped all court affairs since he returned to the garden, and did not receive any officials from Taiwan. This completely uncooperative attitude directly put the entire city of Tai in an extremely embarrassing situation situation.

Therefore, although the real military disaster and turmoil have been resolved, what is facing Taicheng is still a situation of internal and external difficulties, which also makes some officials who mistakenly think that the crisis has been resolved and return to Taicheng complain endlessly.

The forbidden emperor completely avoided and did not cooperate with the Taiwanese officials, and the Jiangbei envoy, who was very likely to hide his ultimate move, was getting closer and closer to Jiankang.It is impossible for the current situation to stop here for a long time. Everyone knows that if the situation does not change further, there will most likely be an abyss ahead.

Therefore, on the one hand, Taicheng used the preparation of the ceremony as an excuse to delay the Jiangbei envoy's trip to the capital, and on the other hand, it tried every means to restore communication with Yuanzhong.

As a result, Wei Chong, the patriarch of the state, was naturally entrusted with an important task, and he was placed high hopes by the ministers.

Wei Chong was relieved of his post of guarding the army earlier, and has been completely marginalized from the inside of the stage. He even did nothing in the previous turmoil, so he was naturally ignored by everyone subconsciously.Now that time has passed, and his person has once again received the attention and attention of the time, so he is not in a state of excitement. After working hard for a long time, he was finally allowed to enter the court to meet the queen.

The meeting place was arranged in a palace garden near Xichi. After Wei Chong went inside and saw the queen, he saw his daughter looked haggard, and her eyes were bloodshot. He felt something for a while, and the eye sockets turned red: "The minister failed the king's order and could not stabilize the situation until today..."

"Grandfather, I'm really afraid..."

When Queen Wei saw her father walking in with tears in her eyes, tears welled up in her eyes and she began to cry loudly.

In the final analysis, she is just a teenage, pampered noble girl who has never seen the dangers of the world. Everything that happened in the past period is like a nightmare for her, especially seeing the empress dowager die in front of her own eyes. For a few days, he was even more restless, and often woke up from nightmares.

As for the emperor who was very close to her earlier, he is also saddened by the death of his mother and the manipulation of him by the ministers recently, and has no time to take care of the empress' emotions.

So after meeting her father, whom she had relied on since she was born, the queen couldn't control her emotions even more, she was almost crying, and there was no shortage of complaints between her sobs.

Seeing that his girl was so sad, Wei Chong originally had a bit of a disguised posture, but now he couldn't help but burst into tears, even disregarding the restraint of etiquette, he stepped forward and took the queen's hand and said with self-reproach: " Your father is only good at talking, and my family is not a rich family after coming from the south, so I feel sorry for you for forcing my wife to live in this turmoil..."

The father and daughter talked to each other for a while, and then gradually calmed down. Wei Chong then said: "Although Jinai seems to be safe now, the public is still throbbing. We should implement various peace strategies as soon as possible. Empress Dowager... Alas, I also know that His Majesty the Emperor must have no lack of ambition at the moment, and it is inevitable to have resentment towards the princes in Taiwan, but now... you must not speak out from outside. The Empress Dowager is an example, good at persuading the king, and even though your father is mediocre, but under self-examination, why didn't he serve the country..."

"My lord, don't think about it!"

Empress Wei's mood had calmed down, but upon hearing what his father said, his face changed suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice, "Master, do you know why Her Majesty Empress Dowager died?"

Wei Chong frowned when he heard this question.Exactly how the empress dowager died has not been widely spread. Of course, there are many speculations in the current situation. One thing is certain is that the Yu brothers must bear the blame.But in fact, what exactly is the inside story has not yet formed a conclusion.

The empress waved her hands back to the left and right, and only intermittently told the details of the empress dowager's death.

After hearing the specific situation from his own daughter, Wei Chong was frightened and even sweated profusely for a while. Only after hearing this did he understand why the Yu brothers had to die. The damage caused by the impact is even greater than the death of the empress dowager itself!
"I don't know, I don't... At that time, I was terrified to death. I really didn't... Except for His Majesty and Your Excellency, I didn't dare to tell others. I didn't dare to sleep deeply at night, for fear that I would slip up in my dreams..."

When the empress spoke up to this point, her expression was still full of fear, she just clutched the corner of her father's clothes and said in a trembling voice: "Tai Yuan is not a good place, sir, please don't be attached to it...Although my daughter doesn't know about human affairs, but, but I'm really afraid of being with you." The family is a drag on each other..."

Hearing this, Wei Chong's heart also turned cold. His original thoughts of wanting to do something were gone. Although he couldn't help being passionate about power and position, he hadn't been overwhelmed by this enthusiasm and lacked reason. The so-called ability to sit and talk is not only a derogatory comment on him by the people at that time, in fact, he does not have a higher evaluation of himself, at least he does not think that he is more capable than the Yu brothers.

"My visit this time was really daring and delusional. Fortunately, the empress gave me advice with this cruel fact. I really have no ability to dance, so there is no need to take risks."

Wei Chong said with lingering fears, and then he told the queen: "But even if it is not for the rest, you should tell your majesty immediately after you return to the court. Quandu, we must summon trustworthy and strong ministers as soon as possible, so as to deter the public and prevent the situation from becoming corrupt again!"

When the queen heard this, she became nervous, and when the father and daughter said goodbye, the queen hurried to where the emperor was.

The turmoil in Kinai this time dealt a big blow to the emperor, so that in just a few days, the old clothes became lenient.

After returning to the garden, he didn't even go back to his own bedroom. He stayed in the empress dowager's bedroom day and night, even when he fell asleep at night, he lay down on the ground in front of the coffin. Several of the palace people were rode to vent their anger.

The queen adjusted her appearance outside the palace, and then walked slowly into the palace. Seeing the cheerful and intimate emperor curled up in the palace with a shrunken expression, the queen couldn't bear it, and took the warm cheese that the palace people had just sent. Pulp up.

Sensing the sound of footsteps behind him, the emperor turned his head to look, and when he saw that it was the queen, the corners of his mouth trembled, but he still couldn't laugh: "Have you met my father-in-law? Did you apologize to him for me? I look like this now, I really don't want to see anyone..."

The queen stepped forward and knelt down, asked the palace servants to set up a small case, and was about to serve the food in person, but the emperor waved his hand and intervened in a tone of voice: "I really don't have much appetite... You probably have a hard time these few days, so you don't have to use it I don't care, let's go to rest first. In the past, I was always afraid of sitting with my queen, but now she can no longer reprimand me, and I can stay by her side for a long time..."

When the empress heard this, tears welled up in her eyes again. She held the emperor's cold wrist and said in a trembling voice: "If the empress mother is still here, I will not bear your Majesty's haggard self-injury... Concubine, concubine can't bear it either. , although human feelings are extremely painful, but also..."

"Ha, what kind of body is I? Even if I wasn't there earlier, didn't the insiders and outsiders play happily! They let me go back to the court, but they didn't have enough fun, and they wanted to pull me back to play again..."

"But there are always virtues in the world. Does Your Majesty have nothing to worry about in this world? It's not suitable for the queen mother and the queen mother's body to live here..."

"Virtuous? I also want to know if there is still virtue in the world... But, who should I trust?"

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help holding his head and weeping again: "The queen mother often blames me for being incompetent, I am really incompetent...I, I really don't know what to do..."

"Where is Duke Liang? Your Majesty regretted not being able to get Duke Liang..."

"Don't mention him! Lianggong, Lianggong... my brother-in-law, ha, he only cares about his own reputation, he, he doesn't care about his long-term relatives at all! He is in Guangling, and he is in chaos. How could it be possible not to hear about it? If he could disregard the criticism and return to help in time, then the mother and the mother would not..."

Hearing this, the emperor covered his face and burst into tears: "I only know that there is only one person in the world who can be trusted, and it must be my brother-in-law! He, he is really omnipotent, no matter how dangerous the situation is, as long as he can make a move, he will surely Can go back to safety! But, but, I really believed him wrong, how, how could he send the Yu family son back to the capital? Doesn’t he know that the queen mother was forced to death by the traitors of the Yu family?"

Speaking of this, the emperor burst into tears, choking with sobs.

"But, but Your Majesty can't be like this for a long time... Could it be that Your Majesty will never see Duke Liang again for the rest of his life? In the current situation, I am a mediocre woman, and I really don't know how to judge. But if Duke Liang is really capable of being praised by His Majesty, probably he can Seeing the hardships of the world that others don't see, there is a kind of embarrassment, doesn't your majesty want to hear about it?"

"I, I'm not blaming him, I just hate myself for being incompetent... If I can get one or two incompetence from my brother-in-law, I don't have to be teased by the **** to this point, even my closest relatives can't protect it myself...I just hate myself, sister Husband, who was weak in the past years, would come to rescue me. If I can have one or two palms, I can wait until he returns to the capital to settle the chaos. The mother and mother are exhausted by my incompetence... The ancestors lose their morals, and the descendants suffer. I, the emperor, was just being placed on the throne for entertainment, making fun of the world!"

When the emperor spoke up to this point, his sadness gradually subsided, and his tone became firm: "He wants virtue, and I will give him virtue; he wants power, and I will give him power; what he wants, I will give him! Don't die in vain! If he is so ruthless that he doesn't care about it, I will take revenge on myself! The king is a laughing stock, and this world is naturally just a laughing stock!"
