Chapter 328: Tears in the sea and fields
The twilight is getting darker, and a thin moon appears in the sky. Probably because of the long rain a while ago, the clouds were also pale blue, and under the glow of the sunset, it still had an indescribable wetness.
At this time, the twilight has not been lit, which is the darkest time in the palace. Junyu pulled the bright yellow brocade embroidered golden dragon auspicious cloud cloak, passed through the suffocating air, quietly stepped into the imperial temple, and felt the unique cold atmosphere here.
"I saw the emperor, and the emperor was blessed with Jin'an." The eunuch had already heard the news from Liu, quickly brought the two people up to salute, did not say much, and asked the little eunuch to prepare the incense burner and other things, so he led the crowd to quietly withdraw.
There have been lanterns in the hall, and the shadows of the lights are swaying inside. Coupled with the strong smell of fragrant ash, there is an obviously gloomy and quiet atmosphere.
The main hall of the Imperial Temple is dedicated to the emperors of all dynasties, and the partial hall is the imperial concubines and princesses who died in the dynasty. Until the new emperor ascends the throne, their positions will not follow the former emperors to move to the imperial mausoleum. At the beginning, Shangguan Wanyi died in blood after giving birth to the emperor's eldest son. The emperor later buried him with the emperor's salute. Now his spiritual position is set in the first hall in the middle of the side hall.
After bowing on the main hall, Jun Yusou slowly came to the side hall. The first thing that came into his eyes was an iron frame for grilled fish. When he insisted on placing such a thing here, the palace people said that the emperor was confused because of excessive grief. -
---Yes, how can others remember what she once said to herself? That time, he took her to the palace to catch fish and roast it. She ate it with relish. Later, she also told him, how good would it be to be an ordinary couple in her life? Don't worry about anything else, as long as this is the greatest happiness.
"Wan'er, Wan'er..." Jun Yus he stared at the silent spirit card for a long time, and then held the spirit card in his arms. Tears fell on the end of the black lacquer wood and slowly slipped over the golden powder engraving.
"I came to see you. How are you doing? Go to bed, and I'll roast fish for you." He gently put the spirit card on the chair opposite him, hummed a soothing song in his mouth, and gently turned the iron frame of the grilled fish in his hand, as if he were sitting in front of the flower-like girl.
"Your Majesty, you are..." Liu Shan sighed very much when he saw this. Because he didn't dare to choke too loudly, he lowered his head and covered his mouth tightly.
Jun Yusul sat in the side hall, flipping the empty iron frame in his hand, and kept following the official Wan's spiritual card to say this. Most of the talk is about Zhi'er's situation, and occasionally she talks about her second brother, the only man in the Shangguan family now. Under the emperor's deliberate compensation, Shangguan Chongxin has married five wives and concubines and given birth to three or four children, one of which is still in his stomach. After all, the Shangguan clan is not the destruction of the whole clan. At least, if these bloodlines are retained, there will always be hope for the restoration of the family in the future.
Later, it was almost done, and Jun Yusultin sent the spiritual card back. He sat there weakly, speechless.
I don't know how long I have been sitting. Jun Yuru rubbed his sore calves in silence and wiped his tears. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of an apricot-colored robe in the corner of his eyes. The color pattern and texture, you don't have to think about it, you know it's your father. Junyu couldn't help but feel a little resentful. He thought that the servants in the hall had retreated before the emperor came in, but he didn't know what he was doing here at this time. The father and son met like this, but there seemed to be nothing to say, so he simply pretended not to see it and continued to immerse himself in his grief.
However, what surprised Jun Yusulun that after his father came in, he did not blame himself for indulging in the remembrance of Shangguan Wanxuan. Instead, he stretched out three sticks of incense and lit the long light, and silently inserted it in front of Shangguan Wanxuan's spiritual card.
As an elder, the emperor's status is noble, and there is no need to do this to Shangguan Wanxuan, who is a daughter-in-law. And although Shangguan Wanxuan was named the queen, she was not recapited until after her death. According to the etiquette, the emperor's palace is still alive at this time. Such a method of recapiting the title is inherently unspeakable. But Jun Yusul was aroused by his father's behavior. He sighed faintly and said mercilessly, "You can't come back to life when you die, Father, even if you give her three incense every day, she can't survive."
The emperor also seemed to understand his son's feelings very well, because of the death of Shangguan Wanyan, although the relationship between Shangguan and the Empress Dowager Nalan has not been broken, but the evidence has been conclusive. Therefore, after Shangguan Wanyan's death, he was particularly tolerant of his future affairs.
In fact, now he and the Empress Dowager Nalan have lived in a separate room for two years. In the past year, he has recently favored a famous palace man, who not only sealed the imperial concubine, but also added special black eyes to it. In the eyes of the palace people, the empress dowager Nalan, who was deeply favored when she was young, has now become the empress dowager, but unfortunately she has fallen out of favor in front of her husband.
Because his biological son Jun Yuchen is not around and the emperor is only a stepson, the Empress Dowager Nalan is now also living a simple life and rarely shows her face in front of people. Compared with the previous glory of the scenery, it can be said that people are old and yellow, and the sunset is in the west.
Seeing his son complaining about himself, the emperor did not think so. He stood in front of a row of spiritual cards with his hands and said to Jun Yusult, "You have closed yourself long enough because of her death in the past two years. Now I just want to ask you, do you remember what I said to Russia as a child? Do you still want to be a good emperor? Do you want to say to her proudly that you are worthy of being her son on your mother's memorial day?
Jun Yushun was stimulated by this and immediately replied, "Isn't I really a good son in my father's eyes? I asked myself, since I ascended the throne, I have always been diligent and caring for the people, conscientious, and have no slack in government affairs. As for the monarch, I also have a clear conscience. I remember my beloved woman and whether I am a good emperor have nothing to do with it. Father, please don't mix it up, so that it's difficult for the old man to feel at ease under the spring!"
"Do you still know that it is difficult for old people to feel at ease under the spring? Sour, it's not my father that I deliberately wanted to annoy you, but you are like this now... Alas! Yes, my father knows that you have been diligent and self-disciplined in being a monarch. Now the Three Kingdoms are about to be unified, and the world will be unified. This is the long-cherished wish of me and your grandfather for many years, and now it can be realized in your hands, which is enough to see that you are the best choice for a generation of saints. However, you should know that since ancient times, those who have been emperors will not live long, and their wisdom will be hurt. Affection and infatuation are the taboo of the emperor's family. It has been nearly three years since you ascended the throne, but you have only one prince under your knees. That's not enough..."
Jun Yu's heart was clear, and when she heard this, she understood it more. It's nothing more than urging myself to draft as soon as possible to appease those well-planned families and nobles. But when he thought that his father actually said such words to him in front of Shangguan Wan's spiritual card, he sneered and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but should I also remind my father that my father had promised me before, now..."
"Don't worry, when will I count what I promised you? The reason why you were put up with Zhang for some time before is that Zhang is also a hero who supported your accession to the throne. The queen is also married by the Ming media, informing the palace of the world. If you abandon it easily, it will inevitably chill the world and make these workers who support you object. That's why..."
"Okay, father, you don't have to say anything, as long as you still remember what you once said! Also, father, don't think that I don't know. You chose to let the courtiers give me a son at this time and force me to draft. What is his intention? Don't I really notice it at all?
After saying that, Jun Yusultan turned around and left with his hands behind his hands. Looking at his son's back, the emperor sighed a little, shook his head, and said to himself, "Or, is it really something I did wrong? Sour, if you hadn't been the emperor yourself, how could you understand my difficulties at the beginning? It is said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, or, it's really time for me to let go..."
The next morning, the courtiers quarreled about the border. It turned out that since the death of Yi Buchun, two groups of people in Xiangluo have established themselves and set up the signboard of the royal descendants. They not only established themselves as kings, but also frequently sent envoys to pay taxes to Jin Xuguo.
Now, the Western Shu country has been roughly calmed down. The new king is a puppet supported by Jun Yusul. The government is in control here. He can only be king externally and no longer exists as an emperor. However, Junyu has not made a conclusion about these two groups of people in Xiangluo, because he found that there were other forces behind it, so such an ambiguous attitude has become the target of the ministers competing to persuade.
Jun Yu had something in his heart. Looking at the fiercely arguing ministers, he only felt that it was more noisy than a group of mosquitoes, and he was too lazy to scold him, so he brushed his sleeves and returned to Zui Xinzhai. Liu San came in carefully and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, King Ding and Princess Ding are about to return to the palace. The previous Magnolia Palace has been cleaned up according to your instructions. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"I'm not free now. Let's talk about it later."
Jun Yusu calmed down and opened the folds presented in the morning. When he saw the folds handed over by the courtiers about the draft, he couldn't help frowning, and his head was even more swollen and painful.
"Your Majesty, Yao Jin, a cabinet scholar, asked for a meeting."
Jun Yusultan said "um" and walked in a young official in ochre robe. He was tall and had a beautiful face. He was already quite a famous minister at a young age. He came forward and knocked, "Yao Jinqian, see the emperor."
"Well, it's not in the court." Junyushou handed over the medal and pointed to it, "Qingzhou is my border. Before, there were often horses in Western Shu who robbed some property, cattle and sheep. Originally, it was not a big problem. But this incident looks a little unusual. Is there someone behind these horse bandits?
