Chronicle of Emperor Jing

Wei Yan was instantly shocked by Fuji's words, and then fell into silence again, unable to react for a while.

The eldest son of the emperor died?

How could the eldest son of the emperor die suddenly?

At first hearing, Wei Yan couldn't accept this fact.Before the Ming and Ming autumn hunting, he accompanied the emperor and went to Yonghe Palace to visit the little baby. He was still fine. When the emperor bullied him and wanted to pinch his hands and feet to play, his little hands and feet were waving vigorously. Powerful, how could he die all of a sudden?

In an instant, Wei Yan suddenly had a feeling of impermanence in the world.

After finally digesting the news, he had the time to start thinking about other things.

The eldest son of the emperor died, and the emperor was definitely sad.If the eldest son of the emperor died normally, the emperor's sadness will eventually heal after a while. If there are other strange things in it, there must be an uproar immediately.

No matter what the truth is, no matter who wins or loses in the end, he is not a courtier and can get involved in it.If he still wanted to be a courtier in peace and stability in the future, he shouldn't have entered the palace at this time, otherwise, he might be even more confused in the future.

As soon as this idea came up, scenes from the past appeared before Wei Yan's eyes, and his heart was tingling.At that time, the emperor stood in the newly completed residence of the eldest son of the emperor, happily talking to him about this and that, planning various things to personally educate the eldest son of the emperor.How could the emperor at that time have expected that in just a few days, everything would be gone.

Wei Yan was always by the king's side, so he naturally knew that the emperor's affection for the eldest son of the emperor did not suddenly appear overnight, but accumulated over time until it reached the point where he wanted to raise it personally.The long-term anticipation, the prudence when naming him, the panic and panic when he was born, the joy after birth, and all the assumptions about the future in the past, turned into ashes like this, how sad the emperor must be at this moment, even if Wei Yan can't completely empathize with him, but he can also imagine a little bit.

Thinking about it this way, he just couldn't stay out of it.Even if he entered the palace at this time, it would be of no use at all, he still hoped that he could stay by the emperor's side and do something for the emperor, so that the pain in the emperor's heart could be relieved a bit.

"Yan'er, have you really thought it over clearly, do you want to enter the palace at this time?" When Wei Yan was changing clothes and preparing to enter the palace, his mother Liu Shi came over.

Because Wei Yan lost contact with his family last time, the Wei Mansion had many contacts in the palace, and the news was naturally well-informed, and even the eldest son of the emperor died within five minutes, this kind of news was inquired about.However, Liu Shi did not expect that someone from the palace would let Wei Yan enter the palace, and she did not expect that Wei Yan would actually agree to enter the palace at this time.

"The child is not filial, and the mother is worried." Wei Yan knew that he was very clear that it was the time when the royal family was troubled, and the courtiers had no excuses, so they should come up with excuses. It is reasonable to hide as far as you can. How could he rush to deliver it to the door by himself like him.But let him just hide at home and let him go, he really can't do it.

"Silly boy." Seeing that he had made up his mind, Liu finally sighed and did not continue.

On October [-]th, Emperor Jing's royal driver arrived at the palace at Weishi.As soon as Yu Jia entered the gate of Qianqing, there was an servant of the Yonghe Palace kneeling beside the road and crying, saying that the eldest son of the emperor had eaten something by mistake when he had breakfast, and kept vomiting and diarrhea, begging him to go and have a look.

When Emperor Jing heard the words, he felt anxious, so he didn't enter the palace, but went directly to Yonghe Palace.It wasn't until later that he realized that things were more serious than he had imagined.

At this time, all the imperial physicians on duty in the imperial hospital were present, and even the imperial physician Tian who had sued him for leave was announced. All the imperial physicians had serious faces and solemn expressions, and gathered together to discuss the prescription.Concubine Shu has already passed out from crying several times, if not for his mother who is sitting in the main hall right now, the Yonghe Palace would be in chaos.

"Emperor, go in and have a look at the eldest son of the emperor, I'm afraid this child is useless." Seeing him coming in, the queen mother couldn't hide the exhaustion in her expression, and said with a long sigh.She motioned her son to go in quickly, maybe she could catch one last look at the child.

Emperor Jing stepped into the inner hall lightly and heavily. He didn't understand what his empress mother meant when she said that she was useless?

Wasn't Yu'er still fine four days ago, why is it useless in the blink of an eye?Four days ago, he obviously hugged Yuer's soft little body, and teased him by pinching his little hands and feet. Yuer got angry when he was playing, and kicked him hard, and the little soles kicked on him. On his arm, he could feel the heavy strength. Yu'er's strength is obviously very strong, why is it suddenly useless?

Emperor Jing went forward, sat on the side of the couch, tried to hug the dying child lying on the couch again, but found that his arms were shaking all the time, he finally hugged the child tremblingly, and never let go .

Later, the imperial physicians used the medicine twice, but there was no improvement. Seeing that the emperor's eldest son's aura was getting weaker and weaker, all the imperial physicians finally knelt down to the emperor: "I am incompetent, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

At this time, Emperor Jing, who was holding the eldest son of the emperor, was sitting by the couch, all his thoughts were on the child in his arms, and he had no energy to pay attention to their pleas.

Five minutes later, the eldest son of the emperor, Jing Yu, died in the arms of Emperor Jing.

Seeing his beloved eldest son lose his breath, Emperor Jing wanted to cry and shout, but he was the emperor, and as an emperor, he could not lose his composure at any time.Moreover, even though his heart was about to burst from the pain, there were no tears in his eyes, and no sound could come out of his throat.So he could only hold the little baby in his arms, sitting from never time to Shen time, and from Shen time to You time, until the warm body in his arms was completely cold, until the soft body in his arms was completely stiff.

He can only hold him like this, not letting anyone touch him, this is the only thing he can do as a father for this full-term child at this time.

"Emperor, don't forget your identity." After everyone's persuasion failed, the Empress Dowager finally couldn't help coming in and reprimanding her son, "Don't continue to be self-willed. It is the business to have him buried as soon as possible. You are still young. , There will be many heirs in the future. Just treat this child as a blessing, and I can't bear your kindness."

Even if the emperor's gaffe at this time is the most normal reaction of a young father when he loses his beloved son, but as the emperor, he does not have the right to gaffe.

"I'm the emperor, what's the use of being the emperor, I can't even keep a child." When things got to this point, Emperor Jing couldn't keep calm at all, and he didn't want to keep calm anymore.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" the Queen Mother scolded angrily.

"The queen mother knows what I'm talking about." If there is no hidden reason for Yu'er's death, Emperor Jing would not believe it.

"The eldest son of the emperor died accidentally by eating unclean things. Naturally, the people who served him were not good. Ai's family has already died." understandable.

"Why is the queen mother so impatient? Is she trying to cover up something for others? I will investigate what should be investigated, and I will kill whoever should be killed."

"Enough, Emperor. Ai Jia thought you should calm down."

The empress dowager ordered someone to forcibly take away the baby who had died for a long time from the emperor's arms, and directly escorted the emperor back to the palace. Afterwards, he dealt with a large number of maids and servants involved in it by thunder. Finally, she left it for the empress who had been waiting at the bottom Four words - "good for yourself".

At this time, the emperor may be forced by the situation to swallow the bitter fruit of today, but there is no guarantee that the emperor will not settle accounts in the future.At that time, the queen may have to ask for more blessings.

When Wei Yan entered the palace, it was past Haishi.It was very quiet in the emperor's bedroom, and everyone waited outside the palace holding their breath.When Director Gao saw him coming in, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly welcomed him to the side, and told him in detail what happened this afternoon and one night, so that he had some clues to persuade him.

After Wei Yan finished listening, he nodded and calmed down his uncomfortable emotions before entering the outer hall.

There was no one in the outer hall, only a dim candlelight was left, and beyond that was the inner hall, Wei Yan walked over silently, but when he pushed open the door of the inner hall, the door hinge made a "creak" sound , and then he heard the emperor's angry shout from inside: "Get out."

"Your Majesty, it's a minister." Wei Yan called at the door.

"Get out." There was a moment of silence before responding. The emperor's voice still contained uncontrollable anger, but the word "roll" was missing from before.

Wei Yan didn't care about the emperor's angry words at this time, and entered the hall in the dark.Candles were always kept in the emperor's inner hall, and this was the first time he touched Wei Yan all the way.However, he has lived in this hall for so long, and he already knows the furnishings inside the hall like the palm of his hand, so he easily reached the dragon couch.

"Get out." The emperor's voice was much lower, and Wei Yan had the illusion that the emperor's tone seemed to have the feeling of wanting to cry.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for your lack of manners." Wei Yan said as he took off his coat, and hugged the emperor's body tightly after getting on the bed.

He doesn't know how to persuade the emperor not to be sad, and he doesn't know what to do to make the emperor happy. The only thing he can do now is to hold him tightly and be with him, so as not to let him stay alone in the dark and feel sad .

Emperor Jing didn't allow anyone to come in, but Wei Yan dared to resist the order.Emperor Jing wanted to break free from Wei Yan's embrace, but Wei Yan's strength was so great that he couldn't break free for a while.Emperor Jing didn't want to listen to anyone's nagging at this time, but fortunately this person didn't make any nagging, but just hugged him tightly.

The king's weakness cannot be seen by anyone, but if it is Wei Yan, it must be fine.

"Wei Yan?" In the endless darkness, Emperor Jing called the name of the person beside him. This person tried to warm his cold heart with body temperature, but he still felt very cold.

"The minister is here."

"Wei Yan, do you know? The queen mother said that Yu'er is not blessed, so she can't enjoy my favor."

"Wei Yan, do you know? All the victims of conspiracies and tricks in this palace are finally concluded with the word "Fu Bo."

"Wei Yan, do you know? I know that Yu'er died unjustly, but I can't avenge him."

"Wei Yan, do you know..."

As Emperor Jing spoke, his voice became hoarse, and he couldn't continue. He could feel the cool moisture in his eyes, but he didn't hold back anymore, and let those tears fall silently in the darkness .

Perhaps, tomorrow, he will still pretend to be an impeccable king in front of people, but tonight, in front of this person, he allows himself to be weak for a moment.

He remembered that a year ago, it was also this person who stood by his side every step of the endless chilling autumn night.Under the pursuit of the thieves, there were fewer and fewer guards around him, and finally he was the only one left.Later, he was also injured, and his body was covered with blood. I don't know if it was the thief's or his own, but in the end Wei Yan still protected him and escaped from the thief's encirclement.

At that time, they didn't know where it was safe, so they could only try their best to go deep into the mountain, but accidentally fell into a deep ditch.It was pitch black inside the deep ditch, and even the stars and the moon in the sky could not be seen.For fear of attracting thieves, they didn't even dare to light firewood, and could only curl up and tremble in the endless night.

At that time, Emperor Jing also felt very cold, not because he was afraid of being chased by thieves, but because he was shocked by the faint guess in his heart.Then he remembered clearly that at that time Wei Yan also said "Forgive me for being rude" just like before, took off his outer robe and hugged him, relying on each other's body temperature to keep warm.It's a pity that Wei Yan's wound became inflamed and hot in the middle of the night. Although the hot body was comfortable to hold, facing the unconscious person made him feel a sense of fear of being abandoned in the dark alone.

"Wei Yan?" Thinking of this, Emperor Jing couldn't help calling again.

"The minister is here."

Emperor Jing finally broke free, changed his posture like last year, and hugged Wei Yan into his arms.

He buried his head deeply on Wei Yan's shoulder, closed his eyes, and used the clothes on Wei Yan's body to suck away the weak things on his face.

The cool autumn night has already blown, and the chill penetrates into the bones of the heart, but if the two of them hug each other to keep warm, this long night will eventually pass.
