imprinted you in my heart

Illuminated by palace lanterns, the palace is swaying in black and white, and the evening breeze is blowing. The palace attendants perform their duties cautiously, and walk cautiously; The white lanterns were put on, and all the brothels and music workshops on Chunjie were temporarily closed.

The ministers who were guarding the spirit in the square outside the Chengtian Palace stayed there until midnight and had their supper before returning home. His Majesty decreed that the spirit be suspended for June, and from then on they had to go home at this time every day.

Although Shi Min and the ministers are only to increase their popularity, to show the majesty of the Empress Dowager, to cherish the voice and appearance of the Empress Dowager, to show their respect, but it is indispensable, especially Shi Min, even if he resumes the court later, he will not go to court before the court. You have to come and watch for half an hour.

They are not the ones who really do trivial things. Taoist priests such as Ma Daochang invited by the virtuous view to do things, and those who refill lamp oil, lamp grass, joss sticks and burning paper money in time are the general manager, palace attendant and Chengtian Palace who once served Zhao Huan. Waiting, working in three shifts a day, staying with people for twelve hours, and keeping incense burning.

But as long as Shi Min is around, she will do things like refilling incense sticks and burning paper money by herself.

Records of official historians: Empress Dowager Wu De passed away, and today she is deeply saddened, and ordered to stop court for three days, to guard the spirit with sincerity and filial piety, and all civil and military officials were all moved and mourned.

The next day, Shi Nian woke up before dawn, but did not get up immediately, but looked at the ceiling through the mosquito net made of gauze, remembering all kinds of grandma's treatment of him, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and finally he simply covered himself Jin was weeping silently.

In this way, it took another incense stick of time to adjust her mood and get up officially.

"Do you know if Zhonggong is awake?" Shi Min, who let Lu Guanchu toss about, suddenly asked.

Shi Min came back too late last night, Bu Qianxue had already rested, afraid of waking her up, so she just took a sneak peek, and then went to Chengtian Palace to guard the spirit after breakfast, the two met in a hurry these two days I'm so busy that I hardly have time to talk properly, that's why I asked this question.

Lu Guanchu, who was putting on Shi Min's clothes, kept moving his hands, "There is no movement from the sleeping hall", which means that he may not have woken up yet.

Shi Min didn't speak any more. Although he felt a little regretful, he would not ask anyone to wake up Bu Qianxue because of this. He even asked everyone to move as lightly as possible so as not to wake her up.

When Lu Guanchu saw this, he was busy and thought to himself: Your Majesty, I am worthless for you. You made such a difficult choice for the Zhonggong, even the Empress Dowager, but what about the Zhonggong?I fell asleep in your dormitory by myself, and didn't even say a word of concern. You were so exhausted when you came back last night, and you insisted on going to see her, and only went back to the study to sleep after seeing that she was well.The first question I asked after waking up was Zhonggong again, even a humble official could not be so meticulous, I only hope that Zhonggong will treat you like this in the future.

Shi Min, who was thinking about the battle at Yiyunguan, didn't realize what Lu Guanchu was thinking. If he knew it, he would just laugh it off. Emotional matters cannot be carefully considered. You say you give a lot, I say I give a lot, So who pays more?I'm afraid it's hard to calculate.

The more Lu Guanchu thought about it, the more he felt sad for His Majesty, and the movements of his hands slowed down. Shi Min realized that something was wrong with her, and leaned over to take a look, only to find that Lu Guanchu's eyes were red, thinking that she was tired Or if you miss your family, you comfort yourself: "After this period of time, I will let you rest and go home to reunite with your family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your concern on behalf of my family," Lu Guanchu quickly adjusted his mood and thanked him, and fastened the last belt.

Lu Guanchu generally only served Shi Min to put on his clothes, while other skilled palace attendants were in charge of combing, tying, wearing crowns and putting on shoes.

According to the mourning system of the Hua Dynasty, when the elders and relatives of the direct line die, they must be made of the thickest raw linen, and the broken part is exposed and the edge is cut off for 30 days; then the mourning clothes made of fine linen are worn for [-] days; At the end of the period, just wear plain clothes.

If it is just ordinary relatives, or if the ministers are mourning for the monarch or the queen mother, they only need to wear filial piety clothes made of fine linen for 30 days, and plain clothes for one year.

The emperor's mourning can be replaced by the day and the month, that is, one day of mourning represents one month, and only 36 days of mourning are required. In the fourth year of Jianping, when the first emperor Mu Zong passed away, Shi Min wore plain clothes in this way, except for major celebrations. .

This time, many ministers also advised to observe the filial piety according to the day instead of the moon, but Shi Min did not adopt it, and insisted on keeping filial piety for the empress dowager according to the routine.

After Shi Min washed and changed his clothes, he was very simple from head to toe. He took out all the accessories that were not many around his waist. A wooden hairpin on his head and a forehead belt of the same quality and color as the clothes were all that was needed. The shoes on his feet were also the same color. Yes, luckily the material is better than the clothes.

Just when she was about to finish washing and changing clothes, there were footsteps and whispers of many people outside, and after a while, a palace attendant in mourning came to report: "Your Majesty, Zhonggong has just woken up. up".

Shi Min was overjoyed when he heard the words, and walked to the sleeping hall without saying a word, the study and sleeping hall were only separated by the largest and most solemn Hongde Hall, not very far.

Lu Guanchu, who was also wearing mourning clothes, signaled to the palace attendant who came to report on the way to step back, and quickly followed.

"Why are you up? Lie down and have a good rest." As soon as Shi Min entered the dormitory, he saw Bu Qianxue was about to get up, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.Bu Qianxue, who was still weak, was not as strong as hers, so she had to lie down again, a little unhappy, and complained: "You are like this, if you don't know, you may think I have some serious illness, but it's just a cold. I have rested for two days. You are well, I want to go with you to pay tribute to Grandma Huang."

Although Bu Qianxue had already guessed that the Empress Dowager might be in danger this time when she learned that Shi Min had hurried back, she never thought that this day would come so soon, and she is still very sad until now.

When she came back that day, she was about to arrive in Fandu City, but she suddenly felt uncomfortable, and finally passed out. When she woke up and saw Shi Min again, she realized that she had a cold, and she fell ill after working hard for days.

At that time, Shi Min's complexion was not very good, and there seemed to be thousands of thoughts in her eyes, and she couldn't find the head and tail for a while. The two talked, and after taking the medicine, she fell asleep again in a daze. When he woke up again, he was shocked to hear Ban Yue and Lu Yan say that the Empress Dowager had passed away.

She wanted to go to Shi Min, to help her and comfort her, but the director of Tai Hospital and Daoist Zhang happened to come to ask for her pulse, and said that Shi Min asked them to come, and she couldn't refuse, after taking the pulse, she wanted to leave One day, the director of the Tai Hospital and the two asked her to finish drinking the medicine before leaving, but she couldn't leave after drinking the medicine, because the drowsiness hit again unexpectedly.

Although Shi Min said that Daoist Zhang was to be buried for the empress dowager, in fact, he said that if he found an excuse to treat Bu Qianxue's illness, he and the director of the imperial hospital would go to Yongshou Palace instead of going to Yongshou Palace. In order to make way for Qianxue to rest and take care of her body, she ran to Fengde Palace, and the medicine basically added something that would help her sleep.

Because of Shi Min's deliberate actions, Bu Qianxue didn't know that her real disease was tuberculosis, but only knew that she had contracted a cold.And not only she didn't know, but Ban Yue and Jiang Li, who was hastily invited here for only one day, didn't know either.

Zhang Daochang, the director of the Supreme Hospital, and Lu Guanchu who knew about this all swore a poisonous oath in front of Shi Min that they would never let the sixth person know about it. Hesitantly follow their own vows to carry out.

The Empress Dowager passed away, Zhang Daochang and the director of the Imperial Hospital who treated her should bear some responsibility. This is the rule of the past dynasties, especially for the serving imperial physicians and imperial doctors. If Bu Qianxue's illness cannot be cured, then they will be punished for both crimes, so they are very concerned about Bu Qianxue's illness, even intervening in their daily diet.

500-year-old ginseng and [-]-year-old jinshanghua are well-known to the world. If they have these medicinal materials, they still can't cure Bu Qianxue's disease. He is about to retire and return home, he doesn't want to die!

Anyway, His Majesty also gave them the right to be cheap, so as long as Zhonggong is in good health, they will do it without hesitation.For example, secretly preventing Bu Qianxue from going out, for example, the amount of each medicine is adjusted in time according to Bu Qianxue's body, especially the amount of ginseng and jinshanghua, which are basically used after the two discuss and reach an agreement.

Although Shi Min is very busy, he will take time out every day to summon Daoist Zhang and the director of the Imperial Hospital to find out about Bu Qianxue's latest condition, so he can prevent them from not doing their best.

Based on her understanding of Bu Qianxue, if Bu Qianxue knew about this matter, she would be in pain and feel guilty for the rest of her life. Since she must be sad and guilty, then let her feel guilty alone, sad alone, it is better than two. Sad together.

The decision is made by her, and the consequences will naturally be borne by her, so let her shoulder the pressure.

Shi Min sat by the bed, held Bu Qianxue's hand, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Although it's not a serious illness, Daoist Zhang and the others have also said that if you don't take care of your general well, you will have future troubles. You should rest well and take care of yourself." Taking good care of your body is the greatest filial piety to Grandma Huang, and she won't blame you."

Ban Yue and Lu Guanchu stood not far away, Zhang Daochang and the director of the Imperial Hospital had retreated to the Hongde Hall, Lu Guanchu kept nodding in his heart, hoping that the Central Palace would listen to His Majesty, but Ban Yue had no other thoughts, Lu Yan Go to decoction.

Bu Qianxue knew that Shi Min was right, but she wanted to go with Shi Min in her heart. She thought that Shi Min would agree as before, but now seeing the firmness in the other party's eyes, she knew it was impossible, so she shook Shi Min's hand Comfortingly said: "Well, I will listen to you, but you can also listen to me, don't be too sad, the deceased is gone, if the empress dowager is still here, I don't want to see you mourning for her, and then Remember to rest and eat even if you are busy, promise me."

Shi Min's eyes and feet were covered with bloodshot eyes and feet, and his face was pale, even more haggard than the last time he saw it. Bu Qianxue was heartbroken and worried.

"I promise you." Shi Min also knew that she was in a terrible state, but Grandma Huang had just left, and the battle at Yiyun Pass in the northwest had not yet settled, so she really had no appetite and couldn't sleep well.

Shi Min fed Bu Qianxue the medicine, and had breakfast together before leaving.Although she didn't have much appetite, she still ate a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and some pastries under Bu Qianxue's caring eyes, and got used to the three meals a day.

When Shi Min hurried to Chengtian Hall, Wen Yu had already arrived first, and after greeting her, the two began to guard Zhao Huan's spirit together.The civil and military officials who had to go to the square outside the Chengtian Palace to watch the spirit at the prescribed time had already returned to their respective positions, and all officials and nobles who were seventh rank and above in the capital had to come.

The missions from various countries that were originally scheduled to return to China in the past two days had to postpone their return due to the sudden death of the Empress Dowager. He began to mourn for the Empress Dowager according to the etiquette of the vassal state.

After failing to assassinate Anguozheng, the deputy envoy of the Wolf State became cautious and did not act rashly, but he did not intend to give up at this point, but was ready to attack on the return journey of the Anguo envoy.

Huachao's Halloween contest, although he was shocked from the first day to the last day after the offensive and defensive rehearsal, it could not achieve the deterrent effect until the thunder of the red cannon and the tiger crouching cannon sounded, and the flat place was instantly concave. Going down a big pit, he was really scared.

Not only him, but even their envoys who had been eating, drinking, and having fun all afternoon calmed down. The situation of the envoys and deputy envoys of other vassal states and small countries was not much better. They had never seen such a lethal weapon.

This forced the Deputy Envoy of the Wolf Kingdom to change his original plan, and wrote another letter secretly and sent it back to the king. ?
