female concubine
Chapter 301
In the autumn of the 30th year of Qianyuan, the crown prince's condition improved after his wedding, so he summoned the crown prince's concubine to reward Cao Ji, the servant of his father's family, as the Duke of Xinguo Jin Jilu, and his mother was named Mrs. Langya County.
In the mid-autumn festival, the emperor fainted at the birthday banquet on the day of Shengshou Festival. Sun Hongda, the imperial medical officer, led the medical staff to make a diagnosis and treatment. His condition declined sharply in winter and he was unable to accept the audience. Therefore, the next year's Zhengdan court meeting was cancelled.
In the winter of December of the 30th year of Qianyuan, the construction of the imperial mausoleum of the Ministry of Industry has been completed.
——Funning Hall——
The emperor sent away all the sick servants, leaving only one servant who was closest to him. The servant's wrinkled hands were gently grinding the ink ingot in the same direction.
There were several blank edict papers of different regulations on the table. The emperor leaned on the chair with his body propped up, panting lightly and unevenly, "Six sons..."
"Officials." Qi Liu raised his hand and wiped away his tears before bowing.
"If something happens to me, I will take my edict to recall this person."
"Yes."
--------------------------------
In December of the 30th year of Qianyuan, the emperor's condition worsened again and he was unable to stay in the bed and walk. When the courtiers met, they only saw the governors of the eastern and western prefectures, and the rest were conveyed by the servants and ministers.
"Dianzhong Province and Kaifeng Mansion came to play, and asked whether the lantern festival in front of Xuande Building in Shangyuan will continue as usual next year. The lantern mountain in Kaifeng Mansion has been built halfway."
The emperor leaned on several overlapping pillows, "Shangyuan Lantern Festival..."
"Shangyuan is a festive season, all departments are closed, and the whole world celebrates together. Of course, it must be done as usual." Xiao Youqing walked in with a medicine bowl, and immediately sat down beside the emperor.
The servant bowed and said, "His Royal Highness."
The emperor took a deep breath, "Then do as the queen wishes."
"Yes."
"Physician Sun changed the prescription and increased the dose, so it will be more bitter than yesterday's." Xiao Youqing scooped up a spoonful of soup, "Be careful of burning."
"I can't drink it." The emperor tugged at the hem of his clothes, only to feel that the smell of the medicine made him feel bored.
Xiao Youqing quickly put down the medicine and sat down, pulled her hand out, and immediately stretched out her hand to feel the pulse, "Chenqie, go and call Doctor Sun."
"The imperial doctor is just an ordinary person. Even if you let him stay by the bed every day, and..."
Xiao Youqing's eyes widened suddenly, from worry to anger, the emperor closed his eyes and continued with a sigh: "What's the use?"
Xiao Youqing shook off her hand and stood up, "Are you not afraid that I will destroy your Wei family's country after you die?"
The emperor raised his head and opened his weak eyes, "You won't."
Xiao Youqing turned around and looked down at the emperor, "Are you so sure?" Then he tightened his sleeves, "Have you forgotten why I married you?"
"Officials, His Royal Highness, please see me."
After hearing this, Xiao Youqing turned around and left. When the Master Attendant opened the door, the crown prince was waiting at the door. Seeing his mother's cold face, "Your Majesty?"
"You go in."
The crown prince bowed, "Yes." Then he stepped inside.
Xiao Youqing collapsed while propping up the desk, with his back to the palace servants and servants in the palace, the sandalwood tabletop was wet with two tears.
The crown prince stepped into the hall, and the emperor turned his head to the abstaining hall and ordered directly: "You also go out."
"Yes."
The Abbot Palace saluted the crown prince who entered, "Your Highness." He went out and closed the door of the cabinet.
The Crown Prince did not arrive at the bed, but stopped and knelt down beside the table, "Chen Weixu respectfully invites Sheng An, how is Sheng Gong doing today?"
The emperor held a handkerchief and did not answer the prince's words, but asked instead: "Do you blame me?"
"I dare not."
The emperor stared at the curtain at the end of the bed, "I know you have resentment in your heart."
"I want to ask," the crown prince propped himself up and raised his head, "Is there anything in your Majesty's heart? Is there anything in your Majesty's eyes?"
The emperor turned his head, "What do you think?"
The crown prince buried his head again, "I don't know, I have been thinking about it for more than 30 years. I used to look at the stars in the courtyard of Kunning Palace in a daze, waiting for His Majesty to come back from the court. The prince who does not participate in the government will stop accepting the court's invitation when he opens a mansion, and he can only be blocked outside the palace gate without the emperor's order. The minister's family has been moved from the palace to the palace, and there are only endless voices. The king and the endless ceremony, later the palace became the East Palace, and the ministers had the opportunity to visit the palace every day, but since then, the ministers and your majesty... have completely become monarchs and ministers." The smooth floor immediately dripped With two tears, the crown prince raised his head, "Why?"
"I have questioned and denied myself more than once. I can't meet your majesty's expectations. I don't want to believe Jiang's words, but I have to question them. Parents love their sons, and they have far-reaching plans. , there is really no hope.”
The words of the crown prince reminded the emperor of his past. Once upon a time, he kept questioning and questioning himself in his heart, and also complained about the viciousness of the late emperor, "Yes, the beloved son of parents has far-reaching plans. What's wrong with you?" Well, it’s wrong, it’s just my obsession.”
"Your Majesty's distrust and disappointment made me panic. Everyone told me that I was the only son of the official family, but they didn't know how long I had been worried and afraid because of this oneness. If I could give up my only one... I can't imagine how displeased and disappointed His Majesty is towards you," the crown prince asked with tears streaming down his face, "Why?"
"Do you want to know the answer?" The emperor's voice was very weak, and he coughed several times while clutching his handkerchief, coughing up all the things that were just so frustrating.
The crown prince hurriedly got up from the ground and rushed to the emperor's window, "Daddy!"
The originally clean and white handkerchief in the emperor's hand was instantly dyed dark red, the crown prince trembling his hands, "Son, call the imperial physician."
"I have something to tell you." The emperor grabbed the handkerchief and stretched out his hand to grab the corner of the crown prince's clothes, "I promised your mother...at least 30 years later, while I still have the strength to speak , let me tell you everything I need to say."
The crown prince turned around and crawled on the bedside again, "Listen, my son, I will always be here."
The emperor put his hand on the crown prince's shoulders, and then leaned over to his ear, "In my heart, I have never abandoned you. You are the only eldest son of your father and your mother. Since you were born, your mother has given you the right Looking after day and night, while I am busy with the trivial matters of the previous dynasty, and I am also busy with the struggle for power and desire. Having a father is like having no father. You Weng Weng have been dominated by power all your life, and I am the same. In the end, it turned into suspicion and suspicion, and in the end there was no father and son in the Tian family."
The emperor lowered his hands and lay on the pillow, "I know that you don't need these anymore, what you have lost these years can no longer be made up for, and I don't expect to be able to get your forgiveness..."
"Father." The Crown Prince held the emperor's hand with tears in his eyes, "I have never blamed Daddy, I know that I am cowardly, I am afraid that I will not be able to support the people, and I am afraid that I will ruin the prosperity that Daddy has worked so hard to build."
The emperor raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of the prince's eyes, "I know that no matter what I do, it won't help, but you can feel your mother's care for you. You can hate me. As a father, I don't Fulfill your responsibilities, but your mother has raised you for more than thirty years, if you want to be a benevolent emperor, you must not lose the word filial piety."
"I know."
At the end of the 30th year of Qianyuan, the emperor summoned Liu Miaoyi, a member of the Privy Council, to the Funing Palace. The monarch and his ministers talked for half a day.
--------------------------------------
On Zhengdan in the 31st year of Qianyuan, the emperor did not attend the spring banquet due to illness, so he ordered the crown prince to replace him. The emperor, who can be seen in the Xuande Tower, did not show up this year, and there is only one vacant seat in Huangluo, which has been vacant from the time of construction to the demolition.
——Funning Hall——
The emperor forced himself to sit up, with his back leaning on the pillow and quilt, Xiao Youqing tried his best to stop her from going to Xuan Loude for the banquet, and only saw several children in turn in Funing Hall.
After the Crown Prince, Crown Princess and Princess Yiguo left, Funing Palace became very quiet, Xiao Youqing sat on the edge of the couch, suppressing the sourness in his heart and remained silent.
The emperor looked at her with guilt, "I know you understand everything, no matter what I do, you can guess my intentions."
Xiao Youqing's heart was shocked, fear filled his whole body, and he vetoed: "I don't want to hear what you say, you don't want to..."
"I don't have much time," the emperor opened his slack eyes, and took out a sandalwood box from the side of the pillow, "I may not last until your birthday." There was no blood on the thin face, and the two lines Tears welled up from the corners of the eyes and dripped down the wrinkles, "The military system of the country was changed to the law of the founding of the country, and the generals ruled it, but the talismans were in the hands of the Xifu and the emperor. Liu Miaoyi was in charge of the military talismans of the imperial army, but all the military talismans were in my hands. I will hand everything over to you now, and I have already drawn up the edict for the Sanya."
Tears that were suppressed still flowed down her eyes, Xiao Youqing turned her head and looked at her complainingly.
The emperor frowned, "These are the rosters of ministers who have been exiled by me. They are all available people. After I leave, you can recall them all in the name of the empress dowager. These veteran ministers are more or less here. There is some prestige in the imperial court, in the future, if you are favored by you, you will have a favor, and your will will be more effective than the emperor. Now, among the forbidden army, the horse army commander Huo Qing will regard you as the second master besides me , plus your brother's Dianqiansi and Zhang Huai who guards Anbei, if the crown prince is not successful, you can replace him. I don't care, and I won't blame whether the prince of the future generations will be given to the Xiao family or continue to let the Wei family sit. You, on the contrary, I hope you can be like this, I am not afraid of facing the ancestor without face, and I don't owe the Wei family anything."
"These you gave, have you ever asked me what I mean? Why do you like to make up your own mind so much?"
The emperor closed his eyes for a while and then opened them again, "Isn't that why you married me? As I said, no matter what you want, even my life, as long as you want it, as long as I have it, you can take it." .”
Xiao Youqing bent down and threw herself into the arms of the emperor, "I married you at first because of your surname and title, but the person I like, she is not a prince, not a prince, not an emperor," Xiao Youqing tightly covered the emperor's body The quilt trembled and said: "She is just my sweetheart."
"Even if I get everything I wanted at first, but lose the person I care about the most, then all this is just an empty dream to me."
The emperor moved his hand, and Xiao Youqing grabbed it immediately. Before the emperor could speak, she raised her head and begged with tears in her eyes: "I beg you, don't leave me alone."
Tears dripped down his cheeks from his jaw onto the bedding, and the emperor opened his trembling mouth, "I'm sorry."
In the mid-autumn festival, the emperor fainted at the birthday banquet on the day of Shengshou Festival. Sun Hongda, the imperial medical officer, led the medical staff to make a diagnosis and treatment. His condition declined sharply in winter and he was unable to accept the audience.
