When the Empress Dowager heard that Emperor Duanhua wanted to come and report things to her, she first frowned and then slightly sneered, “Let him come! What else is there for me to be busy with right now? Even A Xu, who wandered around the palace road for a long time yesterday, didn’t dare to come over to Mourner? The emperor has forced me to such a point, to come to the Qingxi Palace, but also to ask me what I mean?!”
Yu Guo said to the little palace maid, “Go tell the people from Xuan Ming Palace that the Empress Dowager is free at this moment.”
After the little palace maid blessed her and excused herself, she halfkneeled down, straightened the folds on her skirt for the Empress Dowager, sighed, and said, ”Why is it necessary for Your Highness to be like this? After all, His Majesty is your own grandson. These days, His Majesty is also having a hard time, and now since he took the initiative to come over and report things to you, it is evident that His Majesty is in the end filial to you! Why don’t you give His Majesty a step down, and the grandchildren will be reunited from now on, and in the future they will be happy and peaceful, and His Excellency won’t be in a difficult position.”
In that case, only a veteran like her who had served the Dowager Empress for decades could speak.
And it was only after looking at the Dowager Empress that these two emotions had smoothed out that she dared to speak.
Just the dowager empress sniffed, but without warning tears fell, “You in the end is the mourning family to live in this Qingxi Hall, only after the mourning family, so you do not understand you think, mourning family back then with Shentu and Zhenyuan that two bitches fight, for what?!”
She smiled sadly, tears dripping down her lapel, ”Perhaps everyone, including Jin and Dai, thinks that I can’t take my breath away, right? After all, I was the original wife of Emperor Huizong, and my children, Su Hui, Xiang Jing and Xian Jia, were all highly praised by Emperor Taizu. Speaking of which, among Emperor Huizong’s sons, Emperor Huizong wasn’t really the most outstanding, and the three sons that I gave birth to for him did a lot of work to make him able to take over the throne!”
The old men who came down from the founding of the Great Rui knew that Emperor Taizu’s favorite juniors were King Suhui and King Xiangjing.
After these two grandchildren died in battle, Emperor Taizu so tough people, actually sad to the point of a whole day can not eat to know that the world is not yet leveled, Emperor Taizu simply did not have a moment to spare, in this case, mourning destroyed to this point, see the degree of heartache!
And when several of Emperor Taizu’s sons died in battle, he only sobbed for a while!
“But in fact, after I initially realized Emperor Huizong’s change of heart, I didn’t even think of fighting to fight because at that time, I only felt that all thoughts were lost!”
The Empress Dowager looked at the flower branches in the vase not far away and said in a low voice, “The reason why the mourning family decided to fight with Shen Tu and that two bitches, Zhen Yuan, is because … because of Chen Guo’s death!”
Yu Guo knew that she said Chen Guo, is the Chen Guo Grand Princess in fact, this Grand Princess, even the eldest princess did not make, is a princess when, deceased.
This Grand Princess was still posthumously appointed after Emperor Duanhua ascended the throne.
On the record of the history books, the cause of death of the Grand Princess of Chen was after a wind chill, due to the delicate constitution of the Golden Bough, she failed to get better, so she died at a young age Yugeo remembered that the Grand Princess of Chen was less than twenty years old at the time of her death.
“Chen Guo is due to the mourning family’s loss of power, at a banquet, by her halfsister Gu Guo and Jing Guo teamed up to tease and humiliate, to the Emperor Huizong to complain about the grievances, but by the Shen Tu bitch inverted black and white, so that the …” Even though the matter has already been over decades, Chen Guo Grand Princess is also long gone, “so that Chen Guo was severely reprimanded by Emperor Huizong, and covered her face and left! Even though decades have passed and the Grand Princess of Chen has long since passed away, the Empress Dowager still has an unsteady breath as she speaks, “causing Chen to be severely reprimanded by Emperor Huizong and to cover her face and leave!”
“After returning to her princess’s residence, she was again ridiculed by the emperor’s soninlaw that bitter daughter of my mourning family finally couldn’t stand it anymore and took her own life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Empress Dowager said here, is already in tears, Yu Guo scared pale, secretly regret that they should not be so persuasive, actually evoked the Empress Dowager such sadness.
She was about to speak out in relief, but the Dowager Empress took the handkerchief she handed her and wiped her face, but she calmed down again and waved her hand, “You don’t have to be alarmed! Although mourning home every time I think of this matter, feel heartache unbearable, but in the end so many years past, mourning home in the end can not always indulge in it!”
She paused, did not explain why the Grand Princess of Chen was explicitly recorded as having died of an illness, and only said word by word, “After Chen’s death, I mourned a great deal, and then realized that instead of grieving over Emperor Huizong’s change of heart, I should have taken care of my own flesh and blood it was better to be in mourning than to regret not having been able to protect her after Chen had already gone! able to protect her!!!”
“But Mourner has awakened too late after all!”
“So of the mourning family’s own flesh and blood, in addition to Daikoku, including the late Emperor Xianjia …”
“None of it went perfectly!”
“Generation is the only exception.”
“In the past, Mourner always thought that Mourner could take a little comfort in her.”
“But she doesn’t have it anymore either!”
“You say, this call mourning family how with Duanhua that little child, back to good?!”
The Empress Dowager said with tears in her eyes, “When Su Hui and Xiang Jing died in the battlefield, I simply hated to follow them! Later on, when Darei settled the throne and the world was at peace, I was enrolled as the Crown Princess, and I watched my children come to congratulate them at the ceremony, thinking that they were blessed after all, and didn’t have to experience all kinds of hardships and deaths like their elder brothers did, so that I, as the birth mother, even though I live in the back, I still can’t have any peace of mind at all times, and I always worry about when my subordinate will knock on the door of the courtyard at night to report the bad news!”
“But I don’t want to …”
“All the unscrupulousness all the efforts all the hooks and crosses in the latter half of my mourning life, for the sake of, so that my mourning family’s own flesh and blood, no longer repeating the tragedy of the Kingdom of Chen, can do as they please, in a noble and wanton manner befitting their status, and live well before my mourning family!!!! ”
“For this Mourner would do anything!!!”
She raised her sleeve to cover her face and said in a low voice, “Yuguo do you know why you are not too old, but you are able to manage this Mingren Palace of mourning?”
No need for Yu Guo to answer, the Empress Dowager has already said the answer herself, “Because when I see the old man from the past, I can’t help but think of Su Hui, think of Chen Guo, I really can’t stand it! Therefore, after moving to this Qingxi Hall, I replaced all the people who were waiting for me!”
Yu Guo knelt on the ground, also in tears, thinking of the Duan Hua Emperor who was about to come over, she was incomparably worried, but at this point in time, she couldn’t say anything to persuade him.
Just a long time later, Duanhua emperor into the temple salute, refreshened Dowager Empress Dowager, but did not give this grandson a cold face, but calmly called up, and ordered to give a seat.
Except for the fact that there was nothing on his face to smile about, it was actually business as usual.
This situation to see the heart of the jade fruit seven up and down, afraid that the Empress Dowager this is the desire to raise the first suppression, the next suddenly attacked up!
Duanhua Emperor Xu is about to have been with the Empress Dowager torn face once, this is nothing to be afraid of apprehension, after taking his seat, said bluntly, “Royal grandmother, some things that have happened in recent times, I have been investigated almost, and then dragged on there is no point, so I came to talk to you, is not it the end of the line?”
He used to be in front of the Empress Dowager has always called himself “grandson”, since the fallout but changed his mouth to call himself “I”, this time to come over also did not change their mouths, it is not in order to be with the Empress Dowager and make up.
Jade Fruit looked on and couldn’t help but frown darkly.
The Empress Dowager also said coldly, “Since you are the Emperor, just watch out for yourself, what are you looking for Mourner for?”
“Other people’s other matters are just that.” Emperor Duanhua faintly said, “But Imperial Aunt Dai Guo is in the end your beloved, the real culprit who forced her to die, isn’t Imperial Grandmother going to dispose of her personally?”
And said, “Of course, that Song Lu’s, is Song younger sister’s maiden stepmother, although Song younger sister won’t care about this stepmother’s death, but her son is the only male heir in Jiangnan Hall, I’m afraid that Song younger sister can’t help but ask A Xu to bother you if you feel but not face, after disposing of them, push it to my head. push it to my head, I have no problem with that.”
“This is unnecessary!” The Dowager Empress coldly said, “A Xu’s daughterinlaw’s character mourners know very well, she is not such an unintelligent person!”
The Empress Dowager had some vague annoyance in her eyes, not because she was annoyed with Emperor Duanhua’s attitude, but because Emperor Duanhua had intentionally mentioned Song Yixiao’s point, which had the suspicion of using it to sow discord in the Empress Dowager’s relationship with Jian Xu Bai.
“Since that’s the case, then I would like to ask Imperial Grandmother to show us what to do!” Emperor Duanhua sipped his tea and said calmly.
The … grandparents and grandchildren conferred coldly for a long time, and after even more cold bargaining, they finally settled on the results of the disposition of a series of things in this period of time:
First of all, the Cui family is with a small player like Song Lu, that is definitely not falling in line.
Both families were confiscated, all men and women over the age of sixteen were beheaded, and those under the age of sixteen were sold by the government and were not allowed to redeem themselves!
Among them, Cui Ziyu and Song Lu were hated by the Empress Dowager because they were the main participants, so they were not treated as well as beheading, but were sentenced to “combing and washing”.
This kind of punishment in the history books is also considered a big name, is tied to an iron bed, pouring boiling water, and then use an iron brush to brush away the skin and flesh, and finally only white bones in fact, the skin and flesh has not yet faded, the person who suffered the torture is already dead.
But the pain during this period is also imaginable!
However, according to the Empress Dowager’s love for the Grand Princess of Daikoku, it was not wrong to make such a request.
Above the disposition of these two families, Emperor Duanhua did not have any opinions.
The next turn of the King of Liang, but let the two grandchildren almost once again when the temple tear face in accordance with the requirements of the Dowager Empress Dowager, since the King of Liang is also in the generation of the country on the death of the Grand Princess, and is also the mastermind, so even the accessory has been sentenced to the “freshening up”, even if the King of Liang is considered the Even if you consider that King Liang is a member of the royal family, and give him a decent, at most, it is just to leave a whole body!
The Empress Dowager said, “My son Dai Guo is a golden branch, and is the aunt of the King of Liang, Cui Zi Yu and Song Lu’s behavior, is the following offenses, plotting to murder the clan’s Grand Princess! And the king of Liang not only committed this crime, but also to add a line against the family regicide, to give him a whole body, is already the mourning family in mind the love of grandparents and grandchildren on the sake of!”
But Duanhua Emperor did not even think about it and rejected it, “Liang Wang is the youngest son of my biological mother, my biological mother when she was alive, very much love! Since my grandmother favored the imperial aunt, I think she should also understand my mother’s feelings of favoring the King of Liang! So how can I kill him? If I do this, how can I explain to my mother when I’m in the grave?”
“Furthermore, the socalled King Liang is the mastermind behind Song Lu’s and Cui Ziyu’s actions, but it’s just a rumor, there’s no actual evidence!”
“How do we know if Song Lu’s they know that there is no more luck, resentment of the Royal Family, deliberately said so, so that I kill my brother, the Royal Grandmother killed the grandchildren? We can’t fall for such a trick!”
Empress Dowager was angry by this straight shivering, trembling voice said, “The generation of the country at the beginning is just to urge the king of Xiang and you to fight for the throne, but the king of Liang is after you ascended to the throne has already malicious intentions! You are now for the king of Liang said words to a set and a set, but why can’t you be more merciful to the mourning family’s generation of the country?”
“You complained about my family’s favoritism towards Dai Guo, now how come you don’t say anything about your own favoritism towards King Liang?!”
“But I also intend to forgive sibling Song.” Emperor Duanhua was prepared before he came, and without thinking, he said, “What does Imperial Grandmother think?!”
