After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

Wanying Mountain, located more than a hundred miles away from the east side of the imperial city, is the burial place of the Yun family, and the ancestral hall of the Yun family is also located there.

This mountain is unknown, because it is the place where loyal souls are buried, Da Zhoutai!The ancestor emperor named this mountain Wanying Mountain.

In the cold night of late autumn, the two monarchs and ministers each put on blue-gray plain clothes, stripped off their gold and jade decorations, and tied their hair with wooden hairpins. One person and one horse quietly left the Great Zhou Imperial City. Arrived at the foot of Wanying Mountain at dawn.

The two monarchs and ministers dismounted side by side, alarming the guarding soldiers outside the burial ground.

During these years of Gu Xiu's accession to the throne, he seldom came here to worship during the seasons other than Qingming.When the little master in front of the camp arrived and saw that the monarch and his ministers had arrived, he rubbed his eyes to make sure he had read correctly, and then immediately pulled himself together, calling out to the men behind him who should lead the horses, who should release the sacrifices, But he himself lifted his robe and knelt in front of Gu Xiu and Han Mochu, waiting for orders: "I will see Your Majesty, I have seen Taifu Han, I don't know if you are here today, and you are far away, may I inform General Yun?"

"No need, I won't be offering sacrifices today, I'll just go to the shrine to have a look, and then go to the ancestral hall to burn incense." Gu Xiu raised his hand to signal the little steward to get up beforehand, and then ordered: "Go and ask someone to prepare some incense for me." Bring a bucket of clean water, if I don’t call you, you don’t have to send someone over.”

"Yes, the general will understand." The little steward got up from the ground, and immediately gathered two or three strong soldiers to fetch water with the king, and ordered people to block a bright yellow curtain at the mountain pass, indicating that there are noble people coming from the mountain today. Visit, idlers are not allowed to enter.

The burial place of the Yun family is the Great Zhou Tai in the past!The ancestral land was specially selected by the emperor to honor the family of the founding fathers. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side.

A total of 220 generals of the Yun family who died in battle are buried in this burial ground. Among them are Yun Lie, the former general of the auxiliary state, and Yun Yao, the first ever victorious general of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But the Yun family army who sacrificed their lives for the country since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty was far more than these. Most of them buried their bones at the border gate, and they had to guard the border border until their death.

Dawn has passed, and a round of red sun goes straight to the sky.

The two monarchs and ministers tied their wide sleeves with loops behind their backs, and each carried a large bucket. Starting from the southeast corner of the mausoleum, they began to wipe one stone tablet after another.

The mausoleums in Wanying Mountain were all built according to the regulations of the general. There is a stone tomb and a stone tablet. The stone tablet is about six feet high and three feet wide. The number, and when and where they died in which battle.

The autumn wind in the mountains was biting, and the spring water in the bucket was cold. Two arms were soaked in cold water, and when they were blown by the cold wind, a layer of small pimples visible to the naked eye immediately appeared on the skin. Neither the monarch nor the minister spoke, just walked forward like that. One after another, they wiped around the stele.

Every time they passed a stele, the two of them would stand side by side in front of the stele, bow deeply three times, and then carry the big bucket and walk to the next mausoleum.

It was not until the more than 200 steles in front of the mausoleum were wiped spotless by the two monarchs and ministers that they untied their arms, tidied up each other's clothes, and knelt down in front of General Yunyao's mausoleum.

Gu Xiu took out a palm-sized white cloth bag from his bosom, held it in front of General Yunhui's spirit with both hands, and unwrapped the bag to reveal a small handful of golden grain kernels. He raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Mother , this thing is the new wheat planted by our Dazhou Food and Agriculture Department in the territory of Beihuang, please rest assured mother, my son has done it."

Han Mochu knelt on the spot with Gu Xiu, and glanced at the life of General Yunyao written on the inscription.

In just a few lines, the life of this heroine has been written.

The general participated in more than 130 battles in all his life, and captured 350 or [-] of the enemy's leaders alive. He had [-] thieves at level [-], the highest among all Yun family generals of his generation. Just looking at these few lines From the words, Han Mochu could imagine how brave the woman who had rescued him from the barbarians in Xirong was.

Only the last sentence is embarrassing: "General Yu Yongxi died of illness in the barren land in the extreme north of the Great Zhou in the 14th year..."

"Zi Ran didn't speak just now, what were you looking at?" After kneeling down, Gu Xiu lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down in front of his biological mother's tombstone.

"I'm looking at the inscription on General Yunhui's life." Han Mochu said truthfully.

"My mother, like me, joined the army at a young age. She spent half her life as a soldier, and she survived hundreds of battles." Hearing this, Gu Xiu tilted his head slightly and pressed his forehead against the edge of the stone tablet, and said bitterly, "But I don't want to drag her all over her body. Unnecessary charges buried in the Northern Wilderness."

"The first emperor was arrogant, cruel and loyal, and he never admitted his fault until his death. He only pushed everything to the criminal minister Han Ming. I know that your majesty has been unhappy these years, so he seldom did anything outside of the sacrificial ceremony. The days come here." Han Mo sat on the ground at the beginning, and stayed with Gu Xiu within reach.

"I just don't want the ancestors of the Yun family to think that I'm a coward who can't let go of the past. Didn't Ziran tell me that a person with a sword can only look forward forever? I believe they will see everything I do, there is no need I will see it every day when I worship with incense and candles." Gu Xiu stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the cold inscription on the stone carving: "Zi Ran knows that the Yun clan actually has an unwritten ancestral precept."

"I would like to hear the details." Han Mochu responded softly.

"The ancestors of the Yun family taught that those who are generals are loyal to the country but not to the emperor." Gu Xiu raised his eyes, looked at the evergreen pines and cypresses around him, and sighed quietly: "In the eyes of the Yun family, the family, the country and the world, the country, the country, the people's livelihood and the country's conditions, It is always more important than the king. How can the king not be afraid of such a clan?"

"Your Majesty is also a king, why doesn't Your Majesty fear such a courtier?" Han Mochu asked rhetorically.

"That's because Ziran made me a good emperor, a good emperor who will not disappoint the officials and the people."

"The country is the country of the country, not the country of the king. The king of a country should put the family, the country, the country, and the country first. If the king can do this, the officials and the people will naturally not be disappointed." Han Mochu sat beside Gu Xiu , pulled the generous palms of others and overlapped with his own: "Your Majesty has done what a king should do, your majesty's achievements are enough to make people look up to, and your majesty's ability is enough to make the world submit, so there is nothing wrong with Yun, your mother It’s not wrong, what’s wrong is those who feel that others are too strict and mediocre because they can’t do it themselves.”

In front of Gu Xiu, Han Mochu called the late emperor Gu Hong a "mediocre person". Gu Xiu didn't speak, but raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly: "After sitting for a long time, it's getting late , Zi Ran will follow me to the ancestral hall to offer incense sticks."

"Okay." Han Mochu straightened his back and walked beside Gu Xiu, and together they walked towards the Yun Family Ancestral Hall in the distance.

The ancestral hall of the Yun clan is built on the hillside of Wanying Mountain, and thousands of long-burning oil lamps are burning inside it all the year round, and each oil lamp represents the loyal soul of a hero.

Stepping on the stone steps leading into the mountain, Gu Xiu patted the shoulders of those around him coldly and said, "Zi Ran, have you ever thought about what will happen to you and me a hundred years from now?"

"Huh? What is His Majesty referring to?"

"After a hundred years, it will naturally be a matter of the mausoleum." Gu Xiu said.

Han Mochu hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but bend his eyes and smile, "Your Majesty is young and powerful, why did you think of this place? In fact, not to mention His Majesty, even the ministers still feel that they have at least a few more decades to live in."

"I just came here today to express my feelings. The late emperor started building his mausoleum for himself three years after he ascended the throne, and it was overhauled until the year he passed away. A few days ago, there was a letter from the Ministry of Industry that mentioned What are the half-remaining projects in the mausoleum of the late emperor? Ask me if I want to continue repairing it." Gu Xiu said as he walked, "I approved the scriptures, but I also thought of myself."

"What? Does Your Majesty want to build an imperial tomb for himself?" Han Mochu asked with a smile.

"Actually, I don't want to bury the bones in the imperial tomb alone. What if there are countless treasures in that huge tomb? In ancient times, the monarchs used the banner of serving the dead like servants to put away those gold and silver utensils. , Rare treasures are buried in my own underground palace. Instead of this, it is better to spend all the money on the people's livelihood of the country. An imperial mausoleum can open at least twenty government schools, why should I waste money on the mausoleum Woolen cloth?"

"Since when has Your Majesty learned to speak in circles? Hasn't Your Majesty always said what he wants to his ministers?" Han Mochu turned his head to the side, and his warm smiling eyes once again saw through him.

"After a hundred years, I want to be buried in the mausoleum with Ziran." Gu Xiu no longer hesitated, and immediately told everyone what was in his heart.

"That minister, please help His Majesty find a way that will not violate the rules, but also allow you and me to get what you want." Han Mochu stood with his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth curved further.

"So, Ziran agreed?" Gu Xiu suddenly stood where he was, and stretched out his hand to grab Han Mochu's loose sleeve.

"Is it necessary for Your Majesty to make such a fuss?" Han Mochu took advantage of the situation and took the left hand that Gu Xiu extended to him: "Since Yongxi entered the palace in 15 years, I have been inseparable from Your Majesty, and the longest parting is only a few months. So regardless of life or death, All the ministers hope to stay by His Majesty's side. Although according to the Great Zhou system, a minister cannot be buried with the king, but Zi Ran can be buried with Yunchi."

"Yeah." Gu Xiu held the back of the man's hand and continued walking towards the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall hidden among the pines and cypresses was looming, and as he got closer, he could even smell the faint fragrance of turpentine inside: "A little After the incense is finished, Ziran will follow me to see my mother's place. I heard from the elder sister that my mother had a cough and shortness of breath a few days ago. I don't know if it is better now. If it is not good, I would like to invite Mr. Su to come over again. have a look."

"Okay, wherever your majesty goes, I will accompany your majesty wherever you go."

Gu Xiu's words today made Han Mochu very dazed.

In the blink of an eye, he had accompanied that little boy who returned from the wild land for more than twenty years.

They have actually supported each other and walked so far.

***

At first I thought my life was very long, but who knows that half of my life with you is like this, it is clear that you and I still have so many things that we want to do but have not done.

I'm finally beginning to understand what's going on in the minds of those who talk about the afterlife all the time.

If it were you, I would not only want to have an afterlife.

I still want to live life after life.
