Chapter 298 Spiritual sustenance

"The imperial physicians knelt down and begged for mercy, but it also made the emperor's impulsive mood slightly calm down.

He changed his mind, even if these imperial doctors were beheaded, so what?Aifei's life still cannot be saved!

It can be seen that these imperial doctors are extremely busy and have tried their best.

It's just that fate is unruly. As the saying goes, people's fate is destined and cannot be forced.

What's more, what Concubine Zhen said before she was alive was justified. Governing the country is the top priority, and innocent people must not be killed indiscriminately.Thinking of this, he waved the soldiers away with a wave of his hand.

"Get up! I'll mark you a great achievement, and reward each of you with 500 taels of gold. Let's step down first!" the emperor said in that low voice.

The imperial physicians were already scared out of their wits, but they never thought that the emperor not only didn't kill them, but instead rewarded them heavily, but they were also a little puzzled.

However, half of it is flame and half is sea water. The sudden cold and hot makes them very unbearable.But he didn't dare to speak, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.Then he bowed and retreated.

The emperor looked at Concubine Zhen's stiff body, and his heart ached unceasingly. He knew that he and his beloved concubine were separated by Yin and Yang, but she left with reluctance and attachment.

However, their relationship is as firm as a rock, and he kept recalling the scenes of Concubine Zhen's life, like the scenes in a movie.

Only when he was with Concubine Zhen did he let go of his son-in-law and join a family of ordinary people. The two were like ordinary couples, respecting and loving each other as guests.

Of course, he likes to discuss state affairs with Concubine Zhen the most, and those piled up memorials are the topics they can't talk about endlessly.

She can always explain the sufferings of the people in one sentence, and can also analyze the shortcomings of the current policies aimed at the people in essence, so as to make timely adjustments.

Like a helmsman who drives a [-]-ton ship, whenever she deviates from the course, she can adjust in time to ensure that the huge ship does not deviate from the direction and sails to the expected destination.

Her thoughts that crossed time and space deeply affected this emperor who was concerned about the country and the people. He knew that Ai Concubine was a genius in politics.

Although many ministers clearly pointed out the disadvantages of women's participation in politics, they also quoted scriptures, used history as a mirror, and used the example of Wu Zetian's usurpation of the throne to remind them from time to time.

However, he gets along with Aifei day and night, and he knows what kind of character Aifei is, and he also knows best why she worries about the country and the people, works day and night, and tirelessly handles state affairs.

He knows that no matter how well a person does, he may be criticized by others.

He understands that other people's opinions are just a reference, and he can't let them go. The key is to follow his own ideas and fight against all opinions. In many cases, what he thinks is right should be done without hesitation. Even if he is wrong, why not? Isn't it a kind of accumulation of experience?
The matter against Concubine Zhen proved that the views of the ministers who predicted that she would rebel and usurp the throne were simply untenable.However, their starting point is good.It is also for the sake of the community.So he didn't blame him either.

The news of Concubine Zhen's death spread all over the country, and the whole country mourned for a while. From civil and military officials to ordinary people, everyone shed tears and mourned deeply for this good concubine who cared about the country and the people, cared about the suffering of the people, and dedicated herself to the country.

Concubine Zhen was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the emperor wrote a poem to show his memory.

The face is like a peach blossom

kind hearted warm

Reading State Affairs by Holding a Candle at the Desk

Good words every night
Punish the evil and promote the good, and the people will feel at ease

Rectify the military and protect the homeland

Disadvantages of running a school

Poor Confucian students are not in vain

Academic Bowen study hard

Ten years of cold window at the flick of a finger

Rectify scientific examination and anti-fraud
The Ministry of Rites frequently replaces sages

Eclectic recruitment of talents
Caring for the people's suffering
Tax relief cut in half

All civil and military officials protested
relegated to common people's view

Sympathize with the suffering and injustice of the people

repent of pleasure and humiliation of the wishes of the people

If you can find a way back

bow down no more complaints

Heaven's decree to redo the official

Change the three outlooks

Concerned about the brave deeds of the people

Simple folk customs

Concubine Zhen is pregnant with the pulse of the dragon
The emperor is overjoyed

Persuading him not to work hard

Still wholeheartedly for the people
Work hard for national affairs
died from overwork

But leaving Xueyan and Junhuai behind
The whole country mourns and tears
The thick funeral incense fades into nine days

After burying the concubine Zhen, the emperor missed her day and night, and his whole body became emaciated, unable to think about food and drink, and unable to sleep at night.How much he wanted to see her every day, but he couldn't.So he ordered the royal painter of the court to copy the face of Concubine Zhen.

The painters did not dare to be negligent, dozens of painters made more than 50 portraits overnight, but none of the portraits could be copied in both spirit and form.

In a fit of anger, the emperor tore the dozens of portraits to pieces and ordered the painters to repaint them.

This can make the painters have a difficult time. If the concubine Zhen was alive, it would be easy to copy her. However, now that the person has been buried, she can only rely on the emperor's description to paint through imagination and ideas. The image comes exactly.

Therefore, the copied painting must be far from the image of Concubine Zhen in the emperor's mind.How should this be done?

None of the works drawn in the whole few days were attractive to the emperor.

At this time, Prime Minister Hanyuan came here to discuss important matters with the emperor. The painters had long heard that Hanyuan was full of economics, knowledgeable and intelligent, so they came to Hanyuan and asked the emperor to copy the portrait of the concubine Zhen. tell the story.

Looking at the anxious expressions of the painters, Hanyuan couldn't help laughing out loud, straightening his beard, "It's such a simple thing, you have to be so anxious, you can do this..."

All the painters nodded after hearing this, all of them were impressed by the prime minister's wisdom.Hanyuan is really a genius of the world.

So they came before the emperor and made that request.

The emperor nodded again and again, yes!Why didn't I think of it!

Hastily arranged for the servants to invite the little princess Xueyan up.Not long after, the nurse held this little guy with snow-white skin and delicate features, and came to the emperor.

The emperor looked at his daughter, feeling even more uncomfortable. Under the careful care of the servants, the little girl is much tougher than when she was just born, her little mouth is full of flesh, and her big eyes are shining brightly.

The emperor deeply felt that he owed his daughter too much. Concubine Zhen died because of overworked state affairs. If it wasn't for helping him to review the memorials, it wouldn't have happened.

A deep self-blame arose in my heart. It was his fault that caused my daughter to lose her mother prematurely, and lack the maternal love that normal children should have.

The emperor took great care of this daughter, cared for her in every possible way, asked the stars not to pluck the moon, no matter what request he made, he would be satisfied without any hesitation, so Princess Xueyan didn't know what rejection was since she was a child, and she had never tasted it. What does this rejection feel like.

What pleased the emperor the most was that Princess Xueyan was a miniature version of Concubine Zhen, like the reincarnation of Concubine Zhen, she looked too much like Concubine Zhen, and the Emperor missed Concubine Zhen every day, but when he saw his daughter Xue Princess Yan is like meeting her beloved wife.

Therefore, Princess Xueyan is not only the emperor's daughter, but also his spiritual pillar.

The painters couldn't help but pick up their brushes and start copying Princess Xueyan.

This painting really surprised the emperor, the painters were like a genius, each of these paintings is like the resurrection of the concubine Zhen, which has both form and spirit!

The emperor was very happy and ordered people to reward the painters heavily.And very curious, want to find out how the painters came up with this method.

The painters didn't hide anything, so they told the whole story about asking Prime Minister Han Yuan.

After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing out loud, "Should I just say it? He must have been instructed by an expert, this Hanyuan! He is really clever!"

The emperor arranged for these portraits of precious concubines to be framed and placed in bright places in daily life.

As Xueyan grew up, the emperor arranged for the best imperial Confucian scholars to teach the princess to read and write, so that the princess should be trained to be a person who is knowledgeable, sensible, and has both ability and political integrity.

In the flick of a finger in the cold window of the past ten years, Princess Xueyan's success has become extremely symbolic.Like a peerless beauty.

He is wearing a Luanfeng silk long gown, the hem of which drags the floor, the snow-white Lingluo scarf is neatly folded between the necks, and the embroidered big peony black-bottomed headdress hangs above the neat black shiny hair, and a strand of hair is parted in the middle on the full and smooth forehead. silk hair.

The two thin eyebrows that seem to have been drawn with fine brushwork are justly decorated on the delicate forehead, a pair of bright big eyes, jet-black spiritual pupils, and under the beauty's straight nose, is the small yellow apricot mouth with a pointed jaw, which is even more beautiful. The grace and dignity of a peerless beauty.

Princess Xueyan is not only beautiful, but her behavior is very elegant, her gestures and gestures are full of books, she is full of talent and learning, and she reveals an elegant temperament from the inside out.

Seeing how beautiful and charming the baby in his palm was, the emperor felt very gratified in his heart, so he thought of the matter of the man becoming married and the woman getting married.

So he was looking for a candidate for the consort for the princess, and just in time for the scientific examination, the first famous pearl bird in the examination came into his sight.

When I met him in the palace examination, this young man was handsome, suave, talented, and his background was extremely prominent, so he thought of his precious daughter, Princess Xueyan, who was still young and not yet married.This pearl bird is also dignified in appearance and elegant in conversation.Therefore, he intends to recruit him as a son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the plan can't keep up with the changes. This Zhuqin lives extravagantly and is extremely disorderly.

Spending money like water, not seeking to make progress, hanging out with those prostitutes in the brothel all day long.The emperor was disappointed.The emperor adopted Prime Minister Han Yuan's attitude of cold treatment, so as to find another candidate for the son-in-law.Knowing daughter Mo Ruofu, looking at Xueyan's expression today, the emperor can see her thoughts. She must have come for Zhu Qin's affairs. It can be seen that her face is haggard and emaciated, which clearly caused lovesickness. She must have suffered because of that dude, so what should she do?

His daughter has grown up so much, and he has never rejected her?Since everything is obedient and obedient, is it possible that today is going to make an exception?
He thought of Concubine Zhen's words before she died, that this daughter was a gift she gave him, and when he saw her, he could think of her face, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

He couldn't bear to tell his beloved daughter Zhuqin's various behaviors, but he couldn't bear to watch his daughter fall into the pit of fire and live with that playboy in pain.He knew that his daughter's life would not be happy like that.At this moment, his mood was contradictory and complicated, and he didn't know what to do.

The prime minister, Han Yuan, bowed and bowed knowingly and exited. Only the father and daughter looked at each other dumbly in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.The princess then confessed her thoughts to her father. "

So, how should the emperor respond?If you can predict what will happen next, you can watch the breakdown below!
