Old things in the Red Chamber

It seemed that the conversation this time exhausted the emperor's last vitality. After learning that his son had finally grown up, the emperor's heart was finally relieved.

Within three or five days, he had reached the point where the oil was exhausted.

This matter is not news to the people in the palace.Since the emperor became seriously ill, the atmosphere in the palace became heavier day by day.

At the end of his life, the emperor would not say much about state affairs. He believed that he had found someone to entrust state affairs to, but he had to ask for family affairs.

The person he entrusted was the queen.

"Let's take a step first and see how those brats are doing now. After all, this person has to work hard for his children all his life, and I entrust you with all the proofs of his life. Those who died... I will go down to see Waiting for you a hundred years later, I am talking to you about things after parting."

The queen hardly showed a sad expression, and said to the emperor very calmly, "Just go, I will not make things difficult for them when you are alive, and naturally I will not make things difficult for them when you are gone."

The two held hands tightly, and the emperor often fell into a coma for ten days and a half months.

Even the king of a country cannot resist the call of death.Less than a month after becoming a prince, the prince will ascend the throne in late autumn and early winter.

The history of this land has turned a new page.In the year when the new emperor ascended the throne, it can be regarded as a smooth and smooth weather.

However, for the royal family, bad news came one after another.

First, the first emperor died.Then the Supreme Emperor passed away, and then the old kings in the clan also passed away one by one.

"I thought I would be able to face these sad news calmly, but every time after hearing it, I always feel very sad, and I feel uncomfortable all over my body."

The emperor threw a handful of fish food into the lake, and the koi in the lake rushed to eat.

Jia Gu was standing behind him, looking at his frail back, wondering in his heart if he had done anything lately that was worthy of being summoned by the emperor himself.

He himself is getting older, and he feels that his memory is getting worse day by day, and his body is not as strong as before. This state is to show that it is time for him to step down.

It's just that how to retreat and how to maximize the benefits after retreating are the issues he has to consider now.

But as a relative, he can't help but advise the emperor, and many times he will persuade the new emperor, you must bear it down and slowly use water to grind away the flaws or stubborn illnesses you think Give it a clean up.

"It has been a year since I ascended the throne. At the beginning of my ascension to the throne, it is also due to pursue the title of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother herself has no virtue or disadvantage. In order to show respect to the Queen Mother, it is said that when the Queen Mother's coffin Only after entering the underground palace can the coffin of the birth mother be moved to the father's side, but during this period of time, there are always people nagging this matter in my ears, it seems that if I don't act quickly, I will be unfilial, and I am sorry for the birth mother."

"Loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma since ancient times. What does the emperor want to do, why should he care what others say?"

"The truth is this. When someone scolds you, you are always in a bad mood. That's why I talked to you. It's just some family affairs. My biological mother is related to you by blood. We are also relatives. Let's talk about it at this time." It doesn't matter about personal matters. Speaking of my biological mother, I am qualified to speak about me, except you are also my grandfather."

It's not easy to be a reliable emperor. The elders are ahead of others, so the little emperor naturally wants to be a good emperor.

What Jia Gu wants to do is to seek more benefits for himself and the interest groups he belongs to, and he has no intention of usurping the throne. The two of them can get along well together.

As soon as he heard that Jia Gu had the idea of ​​retiring, the little emperor tried his best to persuade him to stay, "The past few years have not been easy for me. You are an elder, so you must protect me no matter what. After a few years, my country will be destroyed." Sit tight, stay as you like."

In a few years, I will indeed grow old, and let Jia Gu say that he doesn't really want to leave the court. If he doesn't leave his son, it will be difficult to have a chance to succeed.

Later, when he thought about it, it would be a few years later, and a few years later has the advantage of being a few years later.

Not long after he returned home, he heard a servant report that his elder brother had finally returned from Jinling and was already waiting for him in the study in the mansion.

A lot happened to both of them last year,

This year, both of them have experienced a lot of things. Before last year, the old brother took the whole family's coffin to the south. I heard that the process was not smooth. It was so light that the people in Rongguo's mansion hated it very much, and they refused to let them enter the ancestral grave at that time.

The old brother often denounced this matter in his letters, and he had the idea of ​​moving the ancestral grave out of his words.And to move out the ancestral grave, the old man's ancestral grave must be moved out at the same time. In his own words, he never left his father in Jinling but his descendants are in other places. What can I do?

Now that Jia She is getting older, he takes these more seriously, but the clansmen in the south of the Yangtze River collectively object to moving out the coffin of Duke Xianrong. Going out is like being kicked out of the family, and things are stuck in a stalemate.

As an old dude, he naturally has his own way of dealing with things. He has been a dude all his life. He has been a rich and well-clothed young man since he was a child. Although he has experienced storms when he is old, he still managed to preserve himself in the end, relying on his power.

He has an advantage that others do not have, that is, his grandson is the current emperor.

Finally, under his pressure, he achieved his goal and returned to the capital with his children and grandchildren.

"Although the Empress Dowager doesn't like to socialize with people now, she just lives in seclusion and avoided the Gu family in the past, but now there is no need for it. Once the emperor and the courtiers, of course, it is also the emperor and the relatives. The emperor meant to let You go to say hello, after all, we are also blood relatives. Your side is ready, I told you for you, let's go when we find time. "

Jia She nodded.

The new year is about to begin, and in the new year, everything is renewed, but people are getting old year by year, and the same is true in this palace. After several emperors passed away, everything in the palace has long been changed.

Facing the grandson of the emperor, Jia Amnesty did not shy away from the stupid things he did back then, "In the early years, I used to accompany the deposed prince to read. At that time, the prohibition of entering and leaving the palace was more ostentatious than Jia Fang now. I used to He dug holes all over the East Palace with a hoe, and once played tricks on those grown-ups who were giving lectures together with the prince...Now counting, it has been more than 50 years in a blink of an eye."

People like to chatter when they are old, and the little emperor is very clear about this. After all, this is his own grandfather, there are still some preferential treatment, and the little emperor doesn't mind listening to the old sesame seeds in his mouth. About Gu Zi, the old and the young spent most of the day leisurely.

When it was time to say goodbye at the end, Jia Amnesty casually said to the little emperor, "Now our family is shaking, and now some people come to my house and want to write a book about the things in my family."

The little emperor has new fun in fawning on other people's fancy to the powerful, "Since someone is willing to do such a job, you can continue, what's the point of this? Speaking of which, your family's ancestors are also worthy of publishing books and biographies, and the founding exploits are also worthy of publication." It should be remembered by future generations.”

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. The old minister is not talking about someone publishing books and biographies for the ancestors, but someone publishing books and biographies for these little things that are not produced at home."

So the emperor was not surprised. After all, some people always have no integrity, "Who on earth has such a skill that caught the eyes of those literati?"

The two of them talked and walked outside, because Jia She is getting old and his health has not been good for the past two years. Although he has not yet reached the level of being supported everywhere, he has been dragged down by drinking and lust for many years, which has caused his health to be very bad. At the end of the steps, there was a sedan chair parked. This was the greatest favor the little emperor gave to his own grandfather.

Such preferential treatment could not even be compared with a veteran minister like Jia Gu.

Jia She told the emperor before boarding the sedan chair, "The things they want to write are quite out of date, and even exaggerated, but the whole article is full of absurd words. Apart from the plot and the literary talent, there is nothing worthwhile. Talk more."

"Since you said that this article is worth reading except for its literary talent, then let them write it and save it for later when they have nothing to do to watch it at their own leisure."

"The old minister also thought so, so I asked for this manuscript and paid him some money. I want to give this manuscript to you. When you have nothing to do, look through this book, and maybe you can learn something from it. What happened to your mother back then."

After finishing speaking, a young man by the sedan chair offered a box, and the eunuch took it over, and when he opened it, it was full of manuscripts.

"The person who wrote this article used to be a member of our family. Later, by chance, he read some books and gained some fame. However, he was implicated by the Rongguo Mansion. Since then, he has escaped into Buddhism and saw through everything in the world. The last time He brought this book to me because he had no money to repair the house in the temple where he lived, and the old minister gave him silver, and he gave the old minister the book."

"It turns out that this is the case. So there are many things in it that are true?"

Jia Amnesty nodded, and was helped into the sedan chair. The eunuchs shouted loudly, and the sedan chair was lifted up by four people, and walked unsteadily towards the outside of the palace gate. The emperor watched the sedan chair drifting away, and turned his head to look I checked the box, took out a piece of paper or two from it, and just glanced at it. I was lucky by the plot inside and couldn't take my eyes off again.
