The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Seeing Sun Kui coming back, Sun Doudou hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Master, you are back."

Sun Kui nodded lightly, then looked at His Royal Highness Dai Wang and Kong Taichang who had gone away, and asked Sun Doudou, "What happened, why are His Royal Highness Dai Wang and Kong Taichang so ugly?"

Sun Doudou shook his head and said, "I don't know."

When His Royal Highness Dai Wang and Kong Taichang were in the imperial study, Sun Doudou was guarding the door, and did not hear clearly what they were saying inside.

"Master, as soon as you left, Kong Taichang came to ask for an audience, and not long after that, His Royal Highness Daiwang came."

Sun Kui probably guessed what was going on, "I'm going in to serve you, you should guard at the door."

"Yes, Master."

Sun Kui walked into the imperial study room lightly, first bowed to Emperor Wu of Zhou, and then said, "Ms. Zhaoyi asked the servant to thank you on her behalf."

Emperor Wu of Zhou gave an "um" and didn't say anything.

Seeing that Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't ask, Sun Kui didn't dare to say more.As for His Royal Highness Daiwang and Kong Taichang looked ugly, he didn't dare to ask more questions.He quietly stepped aside and waited.

After a while, he went out and asked Sun Doudou to bring a cup of hot tea.

Sun Doudou quickly brought hot tea, Sun Kui took it in, and held it in front of Emperor Wu of Zhou with both hands.

"Your Majesty, take a sip of tea and rest."

Emperor Wu of Zhou put down the memorial in his hand and took the teacup from Sun Kui.Open the tea cover, the aroma of tea leaves comes out.

In the past, Emperor Wu of Zhou did not drink this kind of tea, but the kind of tea made into tea powder.The tea he drinks now is steeped tea, which he learned from Liang Zhaoyi.

Liang Zhaoyi's steeped tea was very suitable for Emperor Wu of Zhou.Because Emperor Wu of Zhou liked it, the whole palace changed to drink this kind of tea.Later, the ministers of the DPRK and China also drank the steeped tea.Then, it became popular to drink this kind of tea in the whole capital.

This kind of soaked tea was learned by Zhao Yao from Zhao Yao in the dream.Zhao Yao in the dream likes to drink tea very much, and he is very particular about drinking tea.

After taking a few sips of tea, Emperor Wu of Zhou asked Sun Kui, "Are the things for worshiping the former queen ready?"

Sun Kui replied respectfully: "Everything is ready."

Emperor Wu of Zhou put down the teacup and sighed softly: "In a blink of an eye, she has been away for seven years."

"Your Majesty..." Sun Kui saw the sad look on Emperor Zhou Wu's face, and didn't know how to comfort him.

"I owe her too much." Thinking of the former empress, Emperor Wu of Zhou was full of guilt.In this life, he is sorry for two people.One is the eldest brother, and the other is the first queen.

When the first empress married Emperor Wu of Zhou, Emperor Wu of Zhou was away fighting all the year round, and she took care of everything big and small at home, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.Not only that, but she also helped to take care of the relatives of the soldiers under him, so that they would not have to worry about their families and could follow him to fight with peace of mind.

"She never told me what she did, and she never asked me for anything." When Emperor Wu of Zhou was young, he was careless and seldom cared about family affairs.If the mother hadn't told him what the first queen had done for him, he would never have known that she had silently done many things for him. "When she was dying, she never asked me for anything. She always thought about me, and never asked for anything for herself and the prince."

Sun Kui said: "The first queen is a good queen."

"She would rather embarrass herself than make me embarrassing." Among the people around him, only the first and empress never asked him for anything. "She didn't even want me to know that she was sick, so I was worried about her."

In fact, nine years ago, the former queen became ill.At first, the first queen was not seriously ill.In order not to let Emperor Wu of Zhou know, she ordered the imperial physician to conceal it.Later, Empress Xian was seriously ill and could no longer hide it, so she let Emperor Wu of Zhou know.

"The first queen also doesn't want you to be distracted by her affairs." When the first queen was seriously ill, the emperor had just ascended the throne for a few years.At that time, the world was not peaceful, and there were many things in the court.The emperor often read memorials until midnight, sometimes even staying up all night.

"If I had known about her condition earlier, maybe she would not have left so early." Emperor Wu of Zhou was always concerned about the death of the former empress.He always felt that if he found out that the first queen was sick earlier, maybe the first queen's illness could be cured in time.

"Your majesty, the first empress deliberately hid things from you and didn't let you know, how could you possibly know." It has to be said that the first empress is really able to hide things, and the concealment is impenetrable.If the emperor hadn't accidentally bumped into the former empress vomiting blood that day, I am afraid that the first empress would not have let the emperor know about her condition.

"It's because I neglected her." Emperor Wu of Zhou respected the former queen very much, but he didn't care much.Sometimes, when he got so busy, he even forgot the existence of the first empress.

"Your majesty, do you want to be the queen?" Sun Kui only served by Emperor Wu of Zhou's side when he was crowned prince.At that time, he realized that Emperor Wu of Zhou had no love for the first empress, only respect.

"I feel that I owe her." Although Emperor Wu of Zhou was not keen on the relationship between men and women, it did not mean that he was a hard-hearted person.Although he didn't like Empress Xian, he knew what Empress Xian had done for him.Now that the person is dead, it doesn't help if he says he is in debt.

"Your Majesty, if you feel that you are indebted to the late queen, ask the eminent monks of Hulong Temple to pray for the late queen."

"This year is the seventh year since she left..." Emperor Wu of Zhou thought for a while and said, "On the day of her death, I personally went to Hulong Temple to pray for her."

"With you praying for the late queen, the late queen will definitely live well in the Western Paradise."

"On the day of her death, let's just go to court early."

Sun Kui was taken aback when he heard this, and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, won't you go to court that day?"

"No more." The seventh year of a loved one's death is a very important year, and there is usually a grand ceremony.

Sun Kui suppressed the shock in his heart and said submissively, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Zhou lowered his head and continued to review the memorial without speaking.

Sun Kui stepped aside and stood quietly.However, his heart was full of turmoil.

The emperor actually wants to stop the court on the day of the death of the former empress!This is amazing!
Although it was said that when the former empress passed away, the emperor stopped the court for three days, but since then, the emperor has never stopped the court.Unexpectedly, after a lapse of seven years, the emperor will stop for a day for the former empress.

The emperor chose this time to be the former empress for a day. Could it be for the sake of the prince?
Could it be that the emperor felt that he owed the prince and wanted to make up for the prince because he gave the marriage of Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the king?

Or maybe it was because the death day of the first queen came, and the emperor felt that he owed the first queen, so he softened his heart towards the prince.

Forget it, this is not something that a servant like him should care about.

"Your Majesty, on the anniversary of the death of the Empress, do you want to add something?"

"Let the monks of Hulong Temple copy more Buddhist scriptures for the first queen."

"Your Majesty, do you want to add anything else?"

Emperor Wu of Zhou said: "There is no need to add any more." After speaking, he waved his hand to make Sun Kui retreat.

At this time, in Kunde Hall, Liang Zhaoyi was talking to Yu Meiren and the others about copying Buddhist scriptures.

"In a few days it will be the death day of the late empress. From tomorrow, we will bathe and fast for three days. After three days, we will copy the Buddhist scriptures for the late empress." Every year on the death day of the late empress, Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren will copy the Buddhist scriptures for the late empress.

"Sister, this year is the seventh year since Empress Xian left. Are we only copying Buddhist scriptures?" Poppy asked.

"What's your idea?"

"Actually, according to the rules, there is also a lamp. The lamp must be made by yourself, and the Buddhist scriptures must be copied on the lamp." Yumei said, "The Buddhist scriptures on the lamp must be copied with the blood of relatives, so that the deceased can receive it." Lamp. However, we are not the relatives of the former empress, so we don’t need to use blood to copy Buddhist scriptures.”

Pan Cairen asked, "Then if we light up the lantern, can the first queen receive it?"

"It should not be received, but this is our whole heart."

Liang Zhaoyi asked: "What kind of lamp, lotus lamp?"

"Lotus lamps cannot be used to write Buddhist scriptures. They are just ordinary lamps, but you can draw lotus flowers on them."

Liang Zhaoyi nodded and said, "Then we will make lamps after we have copied the Buddhist scriptures."

She asked again, "What else needs to be done?"

"Other things are not something we can do." Poppy said, "According to the rules, the crown prince should go to the temple to pray for the late queen for seven to seven days."

"Where are the other princes?" Liang Zhaoyi said, "Yaoyao and the others are also the children of the former empress. Do they need to do anything for the former empress?" The former empress is the aunt, the mother of all the princes. Zhao Yao and the others should pray for the former empress.

"In an aristocratic family, the concubine is supposed to pray for his aunt, but in the palace... I don't know." Yu Meiren is a native of the capital, and she knows the rules in the capital quite well.

In the seventh year of the Queen Mother's death, Emperor Wu of Zhou went to Hulong Temple to pray for her for 49 days according to the rules.As for the other princes, none.There are no other princes.

After the first emperor ascended the throne, although a draft was held and many women from aristocratic families entered the palace as concubines, they did not give birth to dragon heirs for the first emperor.

The Empress Dowager and the First Emperor were more than one son of Emperor Wu of Zhou.Emperor Wu of Zhou originally had four older brothers and two older sisters. He was the old son of the former emperor and the queen mother.Before the founding of the first emperor, his four older brothers and two older sisters were all gone.

His two older sisters died in the war when he was young.Four of his older brothers died on the battlefield.

After the first emperor ascended the throne, he was already quite old.In addition, he was injured in foreign battles for many years, leaving many sequelae, and he has long been unable to have children.

Fortunately, there is still the youngest son of Emperor Wu of Zhou, otherwise the late emperor would have adopted a child from someone else.However, Emperor Wu of Zhou almost died in Huangquan once.Fortunately, he was lucky and lucky, and finally survived.

The fifth one is here.
