Spring Girl's Notes

Chapter 301 Entering the Palace

The emperor has not left the Hall of Supreme Harmony for five days.

The Juyongguan Earth Dragon turned over, and the memorials of the disaster situation continued to be sent up.

The emperor and several elders in the cabinet worked day and night, reviewing memorials, handling government affairs, dispatching imperial envoys, dispatching troops for prevention, and distributing disaster relief money and food.

It wasn't until the morning of the sixth day that I got some clues.

The garrison of Juyongguan is not only the last barrier of the capital, but also a follow-up to the garrison of Datong.

Now that Juyongguan has lost half of its troops, if the Tatars attack Datong, Datong will be in a tight spot.

The emperor was afraid of the rebellion of the refugees in Juyongguan, and the Tatars took advantage of the fire and invaded Datong.

After five or six days of busy work, the situation control was finally arranged.

At dawn on the sixth day, the emperor put all the cabinets back to rest.

Like the emperor, they have been extremely sleepy for the past five days and sat on chairs to take a nap, without eating or sleeping properly.

People are not made of iron.

The emperor needs a rest, and so do the ministers.

When I walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it was just at sunrise.

There are thousands of miles of clouds in the morning, the sky is full of brocade, and a section of neon color hangs on the cornice of the palace.

The emperor was very tired and walked slowly.

He has not gone to Kunning Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother for several days.

The eunuch Liu Shu followed the emperor and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, the jade chariot is ready, please take it."

The emperor waved his hand lightly.

It is already the beginning of June.

The weather is warm and there is a hint of sweetness in the air.

This place is far away from the Imperial Garden, so it is impossible for the fragrance of flowers to come over.

The emperor knew that it was his own delusion. He said to Liu Shu, "The soldiers in Juyongguan were killed and injured countless times. The people were displaced. I only walked a few steps, why am I tired?"

He was stunned by the suffering of the poor people, walked into the Forbidden Palace, and walked to Kunning Palace.

The queen mother is chanting scriptures to save the souls of the dead in Juyongguan.

These days, the Empress Dowager hasn't had much rest.Get up early and chant scriptures before preparing meals.

She had just finished chanting at this moment.

Seeing the emperor coming in, the queen mother hurriedly got up and greeted him.

"Your Majesty is very tired. You don't need to come here specially." The queen mother said distressedly, "There is an Ai family inside, and nothing will happen."

The emperor showed a weary smile: "I haven't seen my mother for several days. No matter how busy I am, I dare not be unfilial. Otherwise, how can I rule the world?"

He couldn't turn his head because he hadn't slept for several days.Speak slowly, one word at a time.

The queen mother smiled helplessly.

"Ai's family hasn't had breakfast yet, has the emperor used it?" the queen mother asked him.

The emperor shook his head.

The queen mother ordered someone to bring breakfast.

In the past few days, the breakfast in the inner palace is a bowl of rice porridge, a rough steamed bread, and some side dishes.

Those in the imperial dining room heard that the emperor is in Kunning Palace.In addition, I took two white flour buns for the emperor.

The emperor was stunned.

The queen mother explained: "This natural disaster caused countless deaths and injuries in Juyongguan. The homes of the people were destroyed. Life and death were parted. The inner palace was not used for production and could not feed the people. We had to save some money. If your majesty is not used to eating, go back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and call someone Re-do……"

The corners of the emperor's eyes were a little wet.

"How can I not get used to it?" The emperor was moved, "It's just that my mother suffers. I rule the world. If my virtues are bad, God punishes me. Let my people suffer so much. Let my mother suffer too. Unfilial to the family, unkind to the country, I am ashamed to the common people, ashamed to my queen, ashamed to my ancestors.”

He couldn't eat, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and sighed deeply.

The queen mother stuffed the chopsticks into his hand: "If the emperor doesn't eat, how can he have the strength to deal with government affairs? Natural disasters happen, how can the emperor predict it?"

The emperor had to serve the rice porridge again and drank it quietly.

In this world, he can only speak a few words from his heart to his mother.

The mother and son had breakfast, and the palace servants brought water to rinse their mouths.

Then, tea was served to the queen mother and the emperor.

"This time the earth dragon turned around, what do the courtiers say, when is the day set for offering sacrifices to the sky?" the queen mother asked the emperor.

After the earthquake, the emperor entered the inner palace for the first time.

The Empress Dowager also accidentally inquired about the affairs of the government, but I don't know if it is true.

The emperor sighed first.

"King You of Zhou was fatuous and incompetent, and in the second year, a warning came from heaven; Emperor Cheng of Han's father and son had sex with each other, and they raped the inner palace, which aroused the wrath of God; It is not a person entrusted by the prince.

This is what the courtiers said to me.I am neither the king of Zhou You who ignores the government and favors beauties, nor the unscrupulous Emperor Cheng of Han. They compare me to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, saying that this time the earth dragon turned around because I have an eldest son, but I don’t know what to do. Entrusting the country and mountains, not setting up a prince all the year round, and disregarding the safety of the world, this has aroused the wrath of God. " said the emperor.

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed.

"This is a conspiracy of the Tan family." The queen mother said, "Half of the ministers in the court are disciples of the Tan family. They have been writing letters to persuade the emperor to appoint a prince as soon as possible. Now that there is such a good opportunity, how can they let it go?"

Why doesn't the emperor know?

But, he never had a chance to refute.

If the second prince was still there, he would still be able to block one and a half moves.

Now, he can only follow the courtiers' wishes.

"Mother, it is scheduled to sacrifice heaven and ancestors on June [-]. After that, the crown prince and queen will be established." The emperor said, "I can't wait any longer. Maybe this natural disaster is really a punishment for disregarding the relationship between father and son, and delaying Don't make the eldest prince the crown prince."

The queen mother didn't know what the earth dragon's turnaround was foretelling.

She did not refute the emperor's speculation.

"The Renshou Palace is about to be completed." The Empress Dowager said, "When the Renshou Palace is completed, the Ai Family will move there to make room for the Queen's Kunning Palace. Your Majesty, do you still want to make the Zhang family the empress?"

In the early years, the Tan family was clamoring for a queen.

At that time, both the emperor and the queen mother wanted to establish Concubine Zhang Shu.

"I used to think that Mrs. Zhang is gentle and virtuous. Looking at her now, I only know how to be wise and protect her life, and follow behind Mrs. Tan to do things wrong. She is a person who will stay low when she is not happy, and will fight against dissidents when she is in power. I have seen too many people like this Besides, the Zhang family cannot escape the suspicion of the second prince's death," said the emperor Yue.The voice became more and more cruel.

He didn't get into the details of the second prince's death.

Who killed the second prince is very important to the emperor, but he will not find out.

He just needs to create evidence that it was Concubine Tan Gui who killed the second prince.

The day when the first prince canonized the crown prince was the day when Concubine Tan Guifei murdered the second prince.

When the second prince died, someone had to be buried with him.

As for the real murderer, the emperor will slowly investigate and torture her.

"The Ai family used to think Mrs. Zhang was good." The Queen Mother said a little disappointed. "In the past two years, there have been turmoil in the palace. Her performance is indeed unsatisfactory. She is Tan's answering person, helping Tan to do evil in order to protect herself. She can stay out of it, but she is afraid that others will disrespect her. She has to make trouble Do something to show it. If she gains power, no one in the palace who has offended her will be able to escape.

The Ai family looked at it coldly for several years. In this palace, only Gu and Su dared to quarrel with Tan.

Gu Shi is blindly stupid and strong.No matter big or small, it's all according to your heart.What about the Su family?It means not giving an inch to big things, and not to dispute small things.Sure enough, it's been a long time to see people's hearts, Ai's family thinks that Su's family is good.She gave birth to the second princess, which is the same as Zhang's credit.Besides, she doesn't have any brothers..."

Without a real brother, the mother's family can easily control it.

The Su family that the Empress Dowager spoke of was the Second Princess' biological mother, Concubine Su, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jianning.

Jianninghou was not an official in the court.no son.

Such a descendant is very good.

Concubine Su is a remarkable person.More conscientious than Zhang, and smarter than Gu.

The emperor did not answer.

Over the years, his heart has been focused on government affairs, and he only enters the harem two or three times a month.

He had only been to Concubine Su's place once.

What she looks like, the emperor is blurred.

When it comes to female sex, the only one he has paid attention to is Gu Jinzhi.But Gu Jinzhi gave it to King Luyang again.Thinking of this, an inexplicable irritability and anger surged into the emperor's heart.

"Mother, I don't like Concubine Su." The emperor said suddenly.

These words made the queen mother stunned.

The emperor has been sensible since he was a child.

As an emperor, he should know that to choose a queen is to choose character, merit and descendants, and it has nothing to do with whether he likes it or not.

Why did he suddenly say such a word?

The Queen Mother palpitated, and a bad premonition came to her mind.

"Everyone in the world says that since I own the world, I should belong to the Sangong and Sixth Courtyard. But Queen Mother, look at this palace, it's full of smog. For the sake of their family and themselves, they can kill even such a young child. They are a group of devoid of conscience! I don't want these women. I..." He hesitated to speak, and glanced at the queen mother.

The queen mother felt a little cold when he saw it.

She was very afraid that the emperor would say what she guessed.

"...I have a candidate in my heart." The emperor said, "Whether it is character, character, or family background, he is enough to be a mother to the world. However, the time is not enough. The Renshou Palace still has a year or so to be built. The mouth of the courtiers. I must be cautious about the choice of the empress." The emperor looked at the empress dowager and said very seriously, "Empress mother, I must choose a woman who knows how to love me!"

The queen mother understood three or four points.

She forcibly suppressed herself so that she didn't show any strangeness.

She didn't want to break it.

"Who is it?" The queen mother asked the emperor with a smile.

The emperor showed a long-lost smile and said, "Don't ask the queen mother, I will satisfy you anyway."

While the two were talking, Chang Shun came in and reported that the Seventh Miss of the Gu family had brought King Luyang into the palace.

The empress dowager raised her heart again.

She glanced at the emperor.

The emperor's eyes suddenly became complicated.

He inadvertently shook his hand on the case table.

The Empress Dowager pretended not to see, Huanxi said to Chang Shun: "Has Zhongjun returned to the capital? Quick, please come in."

"When did Zhong Jun come back? I thought he would arrive in a few days." The emperor seemed to be talking to himself.

The Empress Dowager pretended not to hear, and all her thoughts were on Zhu Zhongjun.

"Mother's queen!" Zhu Zhongjun ran in first, knelt down and kowtowed to the queen mother.Then, he saw the emperor again, and quickly kowtowed to the emperor.

The emperor was stunned.

He felt that today's Zhongjun was particularly clever.

Not as silly as before.

If it was Zhu Zhongjun in the past, he would only know how to kneel down to the queen mother, and then cry while hugging the queen mother's legs.

His thoughts flashed past Zhu Zhongjun, and he saw Gu Jinzhi coming in.

Wearing a rose-purple beige and a lilac-colored skirt, Gu Jinzhi was tall and graceful, and walked in slowly with her head down.

The emperor felt that someone was beating on his heart with a drum.

His heart beat a little fast.
