Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 573
"Han Ji Empress Ji": "Empress Xuan Zhang's family, a native of Zhuojun, the eldest daughter of a chariot and general flying... Zhongzu's Eastern Expedition, later contracted a disease and was in danger, his younger brother Zhang Shao wanted to secretly inspire Zhongzu, If it is not allowed later, Shao dared not play it, so he told the minister to order Jiang Wan."

"Jiang Wan wanted to play, and said later: "Your Majesty, upon hearing of my illness, will abandon the army and return to the country. How can I mess up the world's plans with me as a woman?Qing is an important minister of the Han Dynasty, so you should know it. "Wan sighed and sighed, so he concealed the news of Zhongzu. When Zhongzu heard about it, he was dying. At that time, Chengdu went to Tongguan for more than [-] miles, and Zhongzushe returned to the palace in three days and nights."

Shuhan New Palace, early in the morning.

In the mist, several cavalry rushed out and came straight to the palace gate, which made the attendants guarding the palace gate excited, holding their halberds to prevent anyone from deliberately committing misconduct.

"Who is here? Please dismount quickly." The attendant shouted from afar
"It's me."

Liu Chan took the reins, stopped the horse, and said anxiously, "Open the door quickly."

"Your Majesty?" The attendant was startled at first, and then reacted, calling for everyone to open the door and let the emperor enter the palace.

The sweaty horse snorted awake, Liu Chan shook the reins, and it raised its hooves again, and ran towards the palace road.

Horses walking in the palace, with heavy hooves sounding continuously, approached the Changqiu Palace where the Empress lived.

Not long after, they arrived in front of the palace.Liu Chan glanced at the palace on the long steps and sighed. For some reason, the closer he got to the palace, the more disturbed Liu Chan felt.But Liu Chan didn't have time to think too much, got off his horse, and quickly stepped up the steps to enter the palace.

"Your Majesty~"

In front of the palace, Liu Chan waved his hand to stop Gong'e holding the medicine from saluting, and asked, "How is the queen?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Empress fell asleep for a long time yesterday and only woke up this morning." Gong'e said in a low voice.

"Go back!"

Liu Chan let out a long breath and stepped into the hall. Through the curtain, he saw the figure who worried him lying on the sickbed, breathing very weakly.

Empress Zhang Yun on the sickbed heard familiar footsteps, and asked joyfully and worriedly, "Is it Da Lang?"

"It's me!" Liu Chan lifted the curtain and said with a little reproach: "Husband and wife are one, why didn't you tell me that Yun'er was sick? How is the illness today?"

Zhang Yun looked at the tired Liu Chan, with a smile on his pale face, and said: "The concubine has made His Majesty worry. Life and death are beyond human power. Even if Your Majesty knows, it is useless. It is better to fight outside with peace of mind. To decide the affairs of the world."

Liu Chan sighed, and said: "How can you say that? I have no son, even if the world is unified, then I will be just a widow with no one to rely on in the world."

Tears rolled in Zhang Yun's eyes, and said: "After the concubine is gone, I hope that your majesty will go to bed early and work less. The concubine has newly woven a summer robe for your majesty and put it on the cabinet. The weather is changeable, and your majesty should change clothes frequently... "

Listening to Zhang Yun's urging, Liu Chan softly smoothed her messy black hair, said with a sore nose, "I can't do it! Since I was young, Yun'er has been by my side, and the clothes and expenses are all up to you. From now on If you leave, what should I do? When I get sick in the future, who can take care of me like you?"

Zhang Yun rested on Liu Chan's lap, closed his eyes, tears rolled down his cheeks, and said: "There are many wives in the harem who love your majesty. Xiahou, Wang, Xiang and other wives are all good people. After the concubines die of illness, they will take good care of you." Your Majesty, why should Your Majesty miss courtiers and concubines?"

Zhang Yun was three years older than Liu Chan. In the relationship between the two, Zhang Yun mostly took care of Liu Chan. In addition, Liu Chan lost his mother when he was young, so Liu Chan was emotionally dependent on Zhang Yun.The husband-wife relationship between the two is far from being comparable to ordinary couples, but there is family affection mixed in between.

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "Impossible, Yun'er is the only one in the palace who can love me like Qing loves himself. Besides, the only person I can cherish so much is Yun'er."

As he spoke, Liu Chan held Zhang Yun's catkin and said, "Jun'er, I will find a good doctor in the country for you and heal you. When I pacify the world, I will rule the world with you!"

Zhang Yun looked up at the face of his sweetheart, and said with tears in his eyes: "Da Lang, the medicine is exhausted today, and the concubine has not improved, and the condition is getting worse. Therefore, the concubine, Fu Bo, may not see that day."

Liu Chan's tears fell from the corner of his eyes, and he said painfully: "In this case, I want to amnesty the world, order the people of the country to learn Buddhism, and hope to be blessed for Yun'er."

Zhang Yun wiped the tears from the corners of Liu Chan's eyes, and said: "Life and death are determined by heaven, not human power. If doing good deeds and cultivating blessings can prolong the life of the ministers and concubines, if the ministers and concubines have never done evil, it will naturally be fine. If doing good deeds is ineffective , what blessing can I ask for?"

"As for the amnesty, this is a major national event. Your majesty is the emperor, so you should think about it in terms of governance. How can you give amnesty just because of a woman. Buddhism and Taoism are just for practice. Your Majesty does not believe in these two religions, and it is useless to the country. Can the people of the country enter the Tao and learn Buddhism?"

Listening to Zhang Yun's words, Liu Chan felt even more painful.As the Son of Heaven, seeing that his wife was seriously ill, but he couldn't do anything, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

The grief in Liu Chan's heart could not be restrained, and he choked up and said, "I lost my mother when I was young, and my father when I was young, and now I will lose my wife in my [-]s? The heavens are so weak to me, if you have eyes, you should protect my wife from recovery."

I have to say that Liu Chan is pitiful. His mother, Mrs. Gan, died of illness not long after he was born, and was raised by Mrs. Sun and Queen Mother Wu in turn. Around the age of 15, his father Liu Bei died of illness in Baidicheng.At the age of [-], he has to face the pain of losing his wife.

Zhang Yun continued to wipe away tears for Liu Chan, and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, perhaps this is a disaster from the heavens. After this disaster, Your Majesty can be the leader of the world."

Liu Chan hugged Zhang Yun for a long time without saying a word, but shed tears.

Zhang Yun caressed Liu Chan's back and said, "Your Majesty, don't anger Jiang Wan because of his concubines in the future. Jiang Wan is simple in character, well-governed, and all the military supplies needed for the Han Dynasty's battle are all allocated by him. There is no big mistake now." , cannot be discarded.”

"I know."

"As for the sect of ministers and concubines, they are able to stand in the court because of their relatives, not meritorious deeds. In order to protect it forever, I hope that your majesty will not use it too much, nor be above authority. It is a blessing to let him serve in the court. .” Zhang Yun said.

Although Zhang Yun didn't refer to anyone, she could still tell that she was referring to her younger brother Zhang Shao and her young nephew Zhang Zun.

After a pause, Zhang Yun grabbed Liu Chan's big hand and said: "In this world of great strife, ministers and concubines will not benefit the country when they are alive, and should not harm the country when they die. Your Majesty often advises us with frugality, so we should not raise mountains and concubines." , labor and property. When the concubine dies, she should be buried by the mountain..."

When Liu Chan heard this, he couldn't bear to continue listening, and interrupted directly: "I know what I know, Yun'er still needs to rest, and don't overwork."

Zhang Yun shook his head and said: "The concubine's time is short, and the body knows it by itself. After the concubine leaves, Your Majesty still needs to take care of his body. When the world is at peace, the concubine should smile in the dark."

"Han Ji Guangwen Emperor Ji": "In May of the 15th year, the empress Zhang's family collapsed, and Zhongzu mourned day and night, and everyone who heard it was sad."
