Chapter 532

The empress dowager mother and son don't know the great trouble that the Western Turks will bring to the new emperor.But in the harem, someone gave them a big problem.

Concubine Yang hanged herself in her bedroom, and left a suicide note, saying that she was reluctant to part with the old sage, and wanted to go with her Erlang, and asked the empress dowager and the emperor to fulfill her.

Looking at Concubine Yang's dead body, the Empress Dowager's eyebrows jumped: This person, didn't he talk to her well yesterday, let her go out of the palace to be her noble concubine in the Shu Palace, how could she not appreciate it.

And her suicide note, what does it mean?
What does it mean to be reluctant to Erlang?
You, a concubine, went with your husband, so what will become of me, my first wife?
Do I have to die with me to express my deep friendship with Erlang?I am not dead, but I am greedy for wealth and honor, and the beauty of life?
Also, she wants to live and die with Erlang, live and die in the same bed?

Where did she put herself, the queen?
Didn't she know that she, the empress, could only be buried with the emperor?
Even if she pretended to be deeply in love with Erlang, even if she hanged herself and followed the late emperor, she wouldn't be buried with the emperor in Zhaoling in the future?
huh~~
The Empress Dowager fisted her palms and pinched her palms hard. The slightest pain awakened her reason. She let out a long sigh of relief and said without emotion: "Saint, the matter of the Yang family should be handled according to the imperial court's regulations."

The emperor is also bored, his own father just died, why is a concubine making trouble with you, it’s not good to be your concubine, you have to make things difficult for our mother and son?
Well, since A Niang has opened her mouth, let's handle it strictly according to the court regulations.

Since it was in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, it was impossible for the Yang family to be buried beside the late emperor. Of course, she was still buried in Zhaoling, but only as an ordinary concubine.

In order to retaliate against the Yang family, the emperor even hinted that the people in charge of the affairs below chose a burial place farthest from the emperor's mausoleum for Concubine Yang.

No one objected to this, even Concubine Yang's only remaining son, King Shu, just cried bitterly in front of his mother's spirit, without saying a word of complaint.

On the contrary, I am very grateful for the magnanimity of his brother emperor (he was promoted to be a prince). Whenever I go to cry in front of the late emperor's tomb, I have to say a few words: Aye, the emperor you chose is really good, brother Well, he is kind to his clansmen and courtiers, he is really a rare kind person.

Seeing the King of Shu, the concubines who came to cry together suddenly understood that it was no wonder Yang would commit suicide. With such a stupid and spineless son, he would be pissed to death while alive, and it would be better if he died cleanly.

To be able to feel disgusted and disgusted by the old enemy when dying is also a sigh of relief.

After all, Yang's suicide was a manifestation of his true temperament, that he couldn't let go of the saint, even if the empress dowager became angry again, and the emperor was disgusting, they would have to bury her properly.

As for Yang's son, because of his stupidity, he could not hinder the emperor's eyes. In order to appease other brothers and sisters and save face, the emperor would not embarrass the king of Shu.

Therefore, there are really no serious consequences for the Yang family to do so, but it will end up with the reputation of having the purest affection for the late emperor.

Leaving aside the complicated and trivial matters of the harem, let’s just talk about the former court. The old saint collapsed. After the courtiers drafted the posthumous name and temple name, and arranged for the burial, the next step was to announce the death of the former emperor and the new emperor’s ascension to the throne.

In addition, they also began to report the funerals to the princes who were in other places, and allowed them to return to Beijing for the funeral.

This is a domestic arrangement. In addition, Honglu Temple also greeted the neighbors around: Our old sage is gone, and the new sage is enthroned. Should you send envoys to express condolences and congratulate, Meet the new king? !

At present, the Tang Dynasty is in its heyday, and guests from all over the world respect the late emperor as 'Heavenly Khan'.

Whether they were scared by the first emperor's iron fist or impressed by His Majesty Li Er's tyrannical spirit, the leaders of neighboring countries, large and small, all made no secret of their respect for 'Tian Khan'.

Now this talented "Tian Khan" is going to be a god. As a fan, everyone should indeed send envoys to express their grief. Of course, by the way, hook up with the new king of the Tang Dynasty and give more to your tribe and country. Get some benefits, that's even better.

After all, the salt, ironware, and food of the Celestial Dynasty are the most important supplies that neighboring countries need most.

All of a sudden, the capital became lively, and every day a large group of people flocked to the gate of the city.

As the son of the first emperor, King Ji also received an imperial edict from his elder brother, and hurried back to Beijing with his wife, children and the royal guards.

Therefore, Cui Heng, who had been away from Beijing for a few years, also returned to his hometown with his husband. Looking at the familiar city gate, Cui Heng, who has become a mother, was inexplicable.

Just as she was recalling the past and missing her natal family, a young woman came up to her and asked Cui Heng's driver in a low voice: "Dare to ask Xiao Lang, is this the carriage frame of Princess Ji?"

Cui Heng thought it sounded familiar, and without waiting for the coachman to answer, she directly opened the curtain of the car, and seeing that the person who came was the lady in charge of her natal sister-in-law Xiao, she hurriedly asked with a smile: "Is the iron lady talking outside?!"

Lady Tie hurriedly raised her head, and saw that it was the young lady of the Cui family, she bowed her knees and said, "Nu Tie's respectfully greets the concubine!"

Cui Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite? Sister-in-law (referring to Xiao Nan) sent you here? I haven't seen you for many years. How are you, brother and sister-in-law?"

The iron lady gave another blessing, and replied respectfully: "So that the princess can know that the husband and the lady are both good, but I miss the princess very much after not seeing her for a few years. But now the family is guarding filial piety, and it is inconvenient to travel. The new queen, she misses her very much, and specially ordered her slaves to welcome her."

Although Cui Heng was in other places, she also knew the news of her grandfather's death, and she also strictly followed the etiquette and kept filial piety for her old husband.

Now when someone mentioned her grandfather again, she couldn't help holding back her smile, and said with a little sadness: "I know, alas, I'm really unfilial. When my grandfather left, I, I couldn't come to the funeral in person..."

The iron lady hurriedly interrupted: "How can you blame the princess? At that time, you had just given birth and your body was weak. Don't say that my wife didn't approve of you coming back for the funeral. It was Xianggong and Sanlang Jun (referring to Cui Hong, Cui Heng's biological father) ) is also not allowed. The old man went peacefully, and the old man also left a message, the funeral is kept simple, and the children and grandchildren are not allowed to mourn too much... So, Wangfei, you must not worry about it."

Cui Heng sighed quietly, and said: "Although that is the case, it is a pity that I, I was not able to see grandfather off in person!"

The Iron Lady exchanged a few more words with Cui Heng, and then seeing that it was getting late, she said to Cui Heng: "It's getting late, the princess still has business to do, so I won't delay—"

Cui Heng and his wife came back for the funeral, so of course they couldn't delay the time. Just now the carriage stopped on the official road outside the city gate, mainly because there were too many people ahead and they couldn't get through for a while.

At this moment, the convoy ahead had already entered the city, and it was the turn of the convoy from Prince Ji's Mansion.

Cui Heng raised his eyes and glanced at the city gate not far away, nodded, and said, "Well, you go back first, and after I come out of the palace, I will go to visit my sister-in-law."

The Iron Lady took a few steps back, made way for the carriage, and bowed to salute, "Send off the princess!"

Cui Heng hummed softly, put down the curtain, stepped on the floor of the cart, the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage started slowly.

Iron Lady watched the convoy from Prince Ji's Mansion pass by slowly, and when the last carriage entered the city, she straightened up and prepared to go back to her pony carriage.

The coachman supported the iron lady by the hand and sent her into the car. The iron lady was sitting on the car seat with her head leaning against the wall of the carriage, thinking about the few remaining errands at hand, when suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a man who seemed to have known him before. people.

She hurriedly called the coachman and ordered him to chase after the figure.

The small carriage drove quickly on the official road, all the way to the suburbs of Beijing.

After chasing for a long time, they came to a forest, and the figure flashed into the forest.

Iron Lady cautiously asked the coachman to turn the horse's head, pretending to be out for a picnic in Beijing, and slowly strolled around the forest.

The carriage here is slowly going around in circles, and the iron lady inside is frowning and thinking hard, who is this, who is this person, who looks so familiar?

It was a little far away just now, and she only vaguely saw the figure and appearance of that man, well, he was tall, a head taller than her own man, and he looked a little honest, not at all like a barbarian.

Wait, that's right, although that man doesn't look like most barbarians, but when people look at him, they don't think he is from the Central Plains.

Barbarians?Still familiar?

A flash of inspiration flashed in Iron Lady's mind, and she remembered that this is a ranger brought back by Lang Jun from Luoyang, called Bi, Bi, yes, Bi Lishu.

At that time, she remembered very clearly that when the lady saw Bi Lishu, her complexion was not good, and she told the steward of the outer court to take care of this man and not let him disrupt the rules of the family.

Although she doesn't know why the lady doesn't like Bi Lishu, but the iron lady knows one thing, that is, since she saw Bi Lishu in the suburbs, she must keep an eye on him, at least she must know why he quietly left the city.

While Iron Lady was thinking, Bi Lishu came out from the forest. He looked around cautiously, and after seeing that there was no suspicious person, he shook off his feet and ran towards the capital.

Iron Lady's small carriage hid behind a rock, and when she saw that Bi Lishu had left, she did not rush to let the carriage follow, but waited quietly.

Sure enough, after waiting for a cup of tea, there was a sound of horseshoes in the woods, and a Hu man dressed in a black Hu suit galloped out, and also ran all the way towards the capital.

Iron Lady guessed that this person must have something to do with Bi Lishu, maybe Bi Lishu sneaked out of the capital just to meet him.So, she stomped on the floor and ordered in a low voice, "Follow that barbarian on horseback."

The coachman is a family slave of the Cui family, and the family has been coachmen for several lifetimes, so the skill of driving a chariot is inherited from the ancestors, and it is very powerful. With a flick of his horsewhip, the small carriage quickly drove up the official road, and followed the barbarians not far or near.

Although the Hu man in Xuanyi was riding a horse, he was near the gate of the city and there were a lot of pedestrians, so his speed was not fast.

After entering the city and onto Suzaku Avenue, Iron Lady's carriage was still chasing closely behind him.

The barbarian seemed worried that someone would be watching him, so he turned from Zhuque Avenue to West Market, walked around the entire West Market, then rushed to East Market, walked around East Market again, and then turned back to Zhuque Street .

After a few laps, the barbarian made sure that there was no one following him, and then swaggered into the concierge for foreign envoys under the Honglu Temple.

Looking at the gate of the Concierge Courtyard, Iron Lady frowned even tighter——
