Chapter 301 Entering the Palace

The emperor has not left the Taihe Hall for five days.

Ju Yongguan's dragon turned over, and the chapter of the disaster was constantly sent up.

The emperor and several cabinet elders stayed day and night, criticizing the memorials, handling government affairs, sending imperial envoys, dispatching the army for prevention, and giving disaster relief, etc.

It was not until the early morning of the sixth day that I was busy with some clues.

The garrison of Juyongguan is not only the last barrier of the capital, but also the response of the Datong garrison.

Now Juyongguan has lost half of its troops. If the Tatar people attack Datong, Datong will be tight.

The emperor was not only afraid of the rebellion of the refugees in Juyongguan, but also afraid that the Tatars would take advantage of the fire and invade Datong.

After being busy for five or six days, the situation was finally controlled.

On the sixth day, the emperor put all the cabinets back to rest.

Like the emperor, they have been so sleepy for the past five days that they sat in a chair and took a nap for a while and didn't eat and sleep well.

People are not made of iron.

The emperor needs to rest, and so does the minister.

Walking out of the Taihe Hall, it was the sunrise.

Thousands of miles into the clouds, Jinxia is all over the sky, and a section of color hangs on the eaves of the palace.

The emperor is very tired and walks slowly.

He hasn't been to Kunning Palace for several days to send hello to the Empress Dowager.

Eunuch Liu Shu followed the emperor and asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, the jade chascart is ready. You can take a ride there."

The emperor waved his hand gently.

It's already early June.

The weather is warm, and there is a trace of sweetness in the air.

It's far from the imperial garden, and the fragrance of flowers can't float over.

The emperor knew that it was his own illusion. He said to Liu Shu, "There are countless soldiers and soldiers in Juyongguan, and the people are displaced. I just walked a few steps. Why am I tired?

He was stunned by the suffering of the people. He walked into the Forbidden Palace and walked to Kunning Palace.

The Empress Dowager is chanting scriptures, replacing the souls of the dead in Yongguan.

In the past few days, the Empress Dowager has not had much rest. Get up early to chant before preparing for dinner.

At this moment, she has just finished chanting.

Seeing the emperor coming in, the Empress Dowager got up quickly and greeted him.

"Your Majesty is so tired that you don't have to come here specially." The Empress Dowager said sadly, "There is sadness in it, and everything will be fine."

The emperor smiled tiredly: "I haven't seen my mother for several days. No matter how busy I am, I dare not be unfilial, otherwise how can I rule the world?

Because he hasn't slept for several days, his mind can't turn, and he speaks slowly, word by word.

The Empress Dowager smiled helplessly.

"I haven't used breakfast yet. Has the emperor used it?" The Empress Dowager asked him.

The emperor shook his head.

The Empress Dowager ordered someone to bring breakfast.

In the past few days, the breakfast in the inner palace is a bowl of rice porridge, a rough head, and a little dish.

The imperial dining room heard that the emperor was in Kunning Palace, and he also brought two white-faced buns for the emperor.

The emperor was stunned.

The Empress Dowager explained: "In this natural disaster, there are countless deaths and injuries in Juyongguan. The people's homes were destroyed, life and death were separated, and the inner palace had no production, and they could not feed the people, so they had to save some money. If your majesty can't get used to it, go back to the Taihe Hall and ask someone to do it again..."

The corners of the emperor's eyes were a little wet.

"How can I not get used to it?" The emperor was moved and said, "It's just a suffering for my mother. It's all for me to govern the world, and my virtue is at a loss. God punishes me and let my people suffer so much. Let the mother suffer as well. I am unfilial to my family, and I am not kind to the country. I am ashamed of the world, my mother, and my ancestors.

He couldn't eat it. He put a bowl of chopsticks and sighed deeply.

The Empress Dowager stuffed the chopsticks into his hand: "If the emperor doesn't eat, how can he have the power to deal with government affairs? Natural and man-made disasters, where can the emperor predict?

The emperor had to bring the rice porridge again and drink it quietly.

In this world, he can only say a few words to his mother.

The mother and son had breakfast, and the palace man rinsed his mouth with water.

Then, he served tea to the Empress Dowager and the emperor.

"This time the earth dragon turned over, what did the courtiers say and set the day to sacrifice to the sky?" The Empress Dowager asked the emperor.

After the earthquake, the emperor entered the inner palace for the first time.

The Empress Dowager also happened to inquire about the government. I don't know if it is true.

The emperor sighed first.

"King You of Zhou was incompetent. In two years, a warning came from the sky; Emperor Cheng of Han and his father and son were incompatriate, and Yin disrupted the inner palace, which aroused the wrath of heaven; Emperor Wen of Sui abolished the crown prince Yong, and appointed the king of Jin as the crown prince. In the month,

The courtiers take these words as my words. I am neither the king of Zhou You, who ignores the government and spoils the beauty, nor the ungrateful emperor of the Han Dynasty. They compare me to Emperor Wen of Sui. They say that this time the dragon turned over, I have the eldest son, but I do not entrust the country. I do not set up a crown prince all the year round, and the The emperor said.

The Empress Dowager's face changed.

"This is the conspiracy and trick of the Tan family." The Empress Dowager said, "Half of the ministers in the court are the students of the Tan family. They have been writing letters to persuade the emperor to set up a crown prince early. Now that you have such a good opportunity, how can you let it go?"

Why doesn't the emperor know?

It's just that he never has a chance to refute it again.

If the second prince is still there, he can still block one and a half moves.

Nowadays, we can only conform to the will of the courtiers.

"Mother Queen, it was decided to sacrifice to the ancestors on June 18th. Then, it's time to set up the crown prince and the queen. The emperor said, "I can't wait any longer. Maybe this natural disaster really punishes me for not making the eldest prince the crown prince regardless of father and son.

The Empress Dowager doesn't know what the prediction of the earth dragon's turn over is.

She did not refute the emperor's speculation.

"The Renshou Palace is about to be built." The Empress Dowager said, "When the Renshou Palace is built, the Ai family will move there to free up the Kunning Palace for the queen. The emperor, do you still want to make Zhang the queen?

In the early years, the Tan family was clamoring to stand up.

At that time, both the emperor and the empress dowager wanted to establish Zhang Shufei.

"I used to think that the Zhang family was gentle and virtuous. Looking at her now, all I know is that Mingzhe is to protect herself and follow Tan's back. People like her are not complacent. Once they gain power, they will be in the same party. I have seen too many such people. What's more, the death of the second prince can't escape the suspicion. The more the emperor said, the more fierce his voice became.

He did not delve into the death of the second prince.

Who killed the second prince is very important to the emperor, but he won't find out.

He only needs to make evidence to make evidence that Concubine Tan killed the second prince.

The day when the eldest prince was crowned the crown prince was the day when Tan Guifei plotted to kill the second prince.

If the second prince dies, someone must be buried with him.

As for the real murderer, the emperor will slowly visit and torture her.

"I used to think that Zhang was good." The Empress Dowager was a little disappointed and said, "In the past two years, there has been a lot of wind in the palace. Her performance is indeed unsatisfactory. She is the response worm of the Tan family, helping the Tan family to protect herself. She can obviously stay outside, but she is afraid that others will not respect her and have to make something happen to show off. If she gains power and offends her in this palace, no one can run away.

I looked at it coldly for several years. In this palace, only Gu and Su dared to choke with the Tan family.

Gu is blindly stupid and strong, regardless of big and small things, all according to his will. As for Su, he doesn't give up on big things and doesn't fight for small things. Sure enough, I have seen people's hearts for a long time, and I think the Su family is good. She gave birth to the second princess, just like Zhang's credit. Besides, she doesn't have a brother..."

Without brothers, the mother's family can control it.

The Su family in the mouth of the Empress Dowager is Su Concubine, the biological mother of the second princess, and the eldest daughter of Jianning Houfu.

Marquis Jianning is not an official in the court and has no son.

Such a descendants are very good.

Concubine Su is a remarkable person, more conscientious than Zhang, and smarter than Gu.

The emperor did not answer.

Over the years, his heart has been on the government, and he has only entered the harem two or three times a month.

Concubine Su's place, he has only been there once.

What she looks like, the emperor is blurred.

In terms of women's color, the only thing he has to pay attention to is Gu Jinzhi. However, Gu Jinzhi gave it to the king of Luyang again. Thinking of this, an inexplicable anger surged into the emperor's heart.

"Mother, I don't like Su Concubine." The emperor suddenly said.

This stunned the Empress Dowager.

The emperor has been sensible since he was a child.

As an emperor, he should know that choosing a queen is to choose character, merit and descendants, which has nothing to do with whether he likes it or not.

Why did he suddenly say such a sentence?

The Empress Dowager's heart was palpitated, and a bad feeling came to her mind.

"The world says that if I sit in the world, I should have three palaces and six courtyards. But mother, look at the smoky atmosphere in this palace. For the sake of their family and themselves, even such a small child can do it, which is a swarm of conscience! I don't want these women. I..." He stopped talking and looked at the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was slightly chilled by him.

She was afraid that the emperor would say what she guessed.

"... I have a choice in my heart." The emperor said, "Whether it is character, character, or family background, it is enough to be a mother in the world. It's just that it's not the right time. The Renshou Palace has been built for a year and a half to set up the crown prince first and block the mouth of the courtiers. I should be careful when choosing the queen. The emperor looked at the empress dowager and said seriously, "Mother, I want to choose a woman who knows how to love me!"

The Empress Dowager understood three or four points.

She forcibly suppressed herself, so she didn't show anything strange.

She doesn't want to break it.

"Who is it?" The Empress Dowager asked the emperor with a smile.

The emperor smiled for a long time and said, "Mother, don't ask. Anyway, it will satisfy you."

As the two were talking, Chang Shun came in and told him that Miss Gu Jiaqi had taken the King of Luyang into the palace.

The Empress Dowager's heart was raised again.

She looked at the emperor.

The emperor's eyes suddenly became complicated.

He put his hand on the table and inadvertently held it up.

The Empress Dowager pretended not to see it and said to Chang Shun happily, "Has Zhong Jun returned to Beijing? Come on, please come in."

"When did Zhong Jun come back? I thought it would take him a few days to arrive." The emperor seemed to be talking to himself.

The Empress Dowager pretended not to hear it again, and her mind fell on Zhu Zhongjun.

"Mother Queen!" Zhu Zhongjun rushed in first, knelt down and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager. Then, he saw the emperor again and quickly kowtowed to the emperor.

The emperor was stunned.

He feels that today's Zhong Jun is particularly clever.

It's not like the stupid one before.

If Zhu Zhongjun used to be the former, he must have only known to kneel to the Empress Dowager and then hold the Empress Dowager's legs and cry.

His thought flashed by, crossed Zhu Zhongjun, and saw Gu Jinzhi coming in.

Gu Jinzhi wore a rose-purple skirt, a lilac-colored skirt, tall and graceful, and slowly walked in with his head down.

The emperor felt that someone was beating the drum beside his heart.

His heart is a little fast.
