Ben Hou is ill

"Oh, grandma asked you to take good care of your body, who taught you to mention your father..." That's what she said, but the empress dowager was extremely happy to see her step-grandson promise to herself like this.

The eldest princess also stepped forward and said: "Grandmother, A Zong is a very good emperor, he has not let down his father, maybe he is even better than A Ji."

Aji is the name of the elder princess' brother, the only son of the first emperor.

The Empress Dowager was even more happy when she heard what the eldest princess said. This proved that the late emperor had the right vision for people, and she was right to support the late emperor.She took the emperor's hand slowly and patted it lightly.

Emperor Shizu spent his whole life chasing horses, and his sons, the generation of Emperor Daizong, naturally also went to the battlefield and led the army.When Emperor Daizong and the Empress Dowager got married, Emperor Shizu was still only the prince's son, and the emperor of Dajin was still Emperor Zhezong, Emperor Shizu's father.The empress dowager was born in a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, while Emperor Daizong was only one of the emperor's many grandsons at that time. The court salary was limited but there were many clans. His life was not even as good as that of ordinary merchants.It was the Empress Dowager who took a fancy to him and insisted on marrying him, even willing to elope, even if he hired him as his wife and concubine.

After Emperor Shizu decided the country, Emperor Daizong did not disappoint her. He won the position of crown prince among several brothers. Emperor Shizu wanted to re-elect him a princess, but Emperor Daizong refused.Even if the Empress Dowager had no children, she would not abolish the Empress Dowager. The reason why the former emperor, who was neither a descendant nor an elder, ascended to the throne after the death of Emperor Daizong was because he was raised under the Empress Dowager’s lap since he was a child. .

Therefore, the first emperor never disobeyed the wishes of the Empress Dowager, and now he is willing to honor her and honor her.She has raised two generations of emperors, and she is an old man who came from the time of Emperor Shizu. The oldest person in the clan should respectfully call the Empress Dowager. With her, it is much more convenient for the emperor to do anything. A big banner is sometimes even more useful than the late emperor. After all, the clan dared to contradict the late emperor, but they did not dare to contradict the empress dowager.

Although the empress dowager looks clear, she is old and doesn't have that much energy. If she talks too much, she will lose her energy easily. Most of the time, it's the eldest princess and the emperor who talk, and the empress dowager nods from time to time.

The emperor only said interesting things, and didn't mention a word about military affairs. It's not that he couldn't say it, but he was afraid that the empress dowager would be sad when he heard it.

The empress dowager's maiden name was Ye, and she was the most famous family of merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. But because she married Emperor Daizong, she had to be involved in the war. Brothers were also shrouded in horse leather. When Emperor Daizong conquered Shu, all the younger generations of the Ye family went to the battlefield again, and none of them came back.

The Empress Dowager was ill and confused before, only when her nephews and nephews were still fighting in Shu, occasionally waking up for a while, she kept chanting the names of the younger generations of the Ye family, hoping that they would return to Beijing safely, it doesn’t matter if they don’t have credit .She even recognized the eldest princess as the queen mother when she was young.

But where can I find a Ye family?The Ye family was born as a merchant, not a nobleman, and the ability to spread branches and leaves is not as good as that of a nobleman, but in order for the empress dowager to live in the royal family, so that his status as a foreign relative in Chang'an will not be looked down upon by others, the Ye family first donated After losing their family property, there is nothing left, not even a shop, and then generation after generation went to the battlefield, and now they can't even find a tribe from a distant branch.

How can this be said?

The emperor stuck his throat, and only hoped that she would not think about it and go happily.

The Empress Dowager was half lying down, in a drowsy state, and suddenly asked: "How is Xing'er in the Northland?"

The emperor couldn't answer for a while, the eldest princess said: "I just went to Beidi a few days ago, it's okay."

In the early years of Yuan Xing, the only remaining junior of the Ye family's near and far branches caught cold and died within a few days, and the Ye family became extinct.It wasn't until the sixth year of Yuanxing that the late emperor searched the whole of Jiangnan, and found a Ye Xing whose blood had gone through countless generations, and he recognized him as a great-grandson under the name of the empress dowager's elder brother.The first emperor wanted to promote him and let him practice with Marquis Changping in the north. He planned to transfer back to Chang'an to take over the Beijing camp after a few years, but the Xiongnu raided the north and Ye Xing died with an arrow.

"Don't lie to me, although I have been confused for a while, my brain is not working, and I forgot a lot of things... But I am very sober today, I know that Xing'er also donated the country, and went to find his uncle and brother... ..."

The Queen Mother wiped away her tears and did not interrupt.

Although the Empress Dowager had a high status, she was very kind. She never set rules for the late emperor's concubines. At most, she punished the concubines who made a lot of trouble, but she only beat and beat them, and would comfort them afterwards.It is a blessing for the Empress Dowager to live to be more than 70 years old, but her natal family has cut off the incense.

The loyalty of the whole family is the pride of the Empress Dowager, and it is also a pain.

The emperor was so stunned that he couldn't speak, his tears followed, and he choked up and said: "Don't worry, the Ye family will definitely not cut off the incense. During the festivals, the grandson will offer incense to the uncles and brothers of the Ye family, and the grandson will move the incense to the uncles and brothers of the Ye family." Go to the imperial mausoleum, and be admired by people for generations... Besides, besides, we haven't looked for it in the Northland yet, maybe, maybe there is in the Northland..."

"The old woman has lived for more than 70 years. I haven't seen anything. Don't look for it anymore. If you find someone who is unfaithful and unfilial, the old woman will be scolded when she goes underground. Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, you are so old. Cry..." The Empress Dowager looked at the emperor and said: "If the Ye family is gone, it will be gone. The old lady doesn't care, but Yan Lan is a poor child. If the Yan family doesn't rebel, don't let the Yan family down."

"Save the grandson." The emperor nodded repeatedly.

"After all, the Yan family was sealed in the north by Emperor Mu Zong. It has been guarded for more than 100 years. There have been many people lost in the past few years. It is not easy to survive. Don't let them go to the battlefield again. If the heir is extinct, the royal face It's not pretty, at least let people leave a piece of incense."

"Don't worry. I just met Yan Lan's eldest son and grandson. His name is Yan Zhaoge. He is both civil and military. He is also good-looking and talented. The grandson will give him a first class and leave him in Beijing. Yan Lan will also be transferred next year." return."

The Empress Dowager nodded with a smile, then suddenly looked at the eldest princess beside her, and asked, "Shaoer, is this Yan Zhaoge the one you mentioned?"

The eldest princess felt bad when the empress dowager talked about Yan's family.

In the previous life, the Empress Dowager went there in her sleep, and no one knew when she left, and the palace guards who watched the night couldn't tell.The eldest princess was afraid of missing it again, so she watched day after day, picking up some words to say from time to time, but she could only talk about those things, and she couldn't talk about boring political affairs, so she talked about Yan Zhaoge. .She was talking about Yan Zhaoge of the later generations, and she picked what she could say, just for peace of mind, and hoped that the empress dowager could go away at ease, but she never thought that the empress dowager would be sober, and she had been sober for so long.

But the words have been spoken for a long time, and they were said to the Empress Dowager, and she will definitely not be able to take them back, so she can only admit it. "It's her. There is only Yan Zhaoge in Chang'an."

The emperor felt bad, and even forgot to wipe the tears from his nose.

"Shao'er also praises, Zong'er also praises, it seems that this Yan Zhaoge is really unparalleled in talent... This way I can feel more at ease, your father and emperor have a bad eye for picking a son-in-law, the Changping Hou family and Gao Cheng The Hou family is not good, the old lady is afraid that you will be misunderstood again, although I was asleep, I heard it...Since Zong'er also said it was good, it seems to be very good." Mrs. The empress dowager turned her gaze to the emperor again. "I remember, before your father left, he left a will for Shao'er?"

Before the late emperor passed away, besides the imperial edict, he also left another decree, which was to give the eldest princess a marriage. The seal on the decree was not only the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, the Seal of the Empress, and the Seal of the Empress Dowager, but also the private seal of the late emperor.After the emperor's death, his private seal will be buried together as a funeral object. This kind of imperial decree cannot be imitated.Marriage is the emperor's family business, even if there is no seal of the prime minister, it is still valid.This decree has already been backed up in Shiqu Pavilion, but because the name on the decree is still empty, Shiqu Pavilion only records such a decree related to royal family affairs, but does not know the specific content.

The first emperor was afraid that the eldest princess would have someone he liked in the future, but she would not be able to get what she wanted due to various obstacles, so he left this blank marriage will.Because it is the last emperor's edict, even the present day and the queen mother are not allowed to violate it.

Now the only one who can stop her is the Empress Dowager, but she loves the eldest princess before it's too late, so how can she stop her?

The emperor's heart was twitching, and he felt that the tears on his face had turned cold. Hearing the empress dowager's words, he couldn't help but nodded heavily: "The grandson is still under the bed in the Weiyang Palace according to the regulations."

There is a shadow box under the bed in Weiyang Palace's bedroom, which is just the right size to hold a rolled-up imperial decree.Weiyang Palace was built under the supervision of Emperor Shizu, and the shadow box was also designed by Emperor Shizu. It was originally because the princes of Emperor Daizong's generation were very outstanding, capable of writing and martial arts. He changes his mind anytime.Later, when Emperor Daizong became the crown prince, the cassette was useless, so Emperor Shizu passed it on to Emperor Daizong, and Emperor Daizong passed it on to the first emperor.

The empress dowager has gone through ups and downs, so the emperor's little thoughts can't be hidden from her, but the emperor has no oversteps, and he gets along very well with the elder princess and siblings, so it's not easy for her to point it out, but this is also After all, the nostalgia of sister and mother is not a long-term solution. If others find out, rumors will spread and damage the reputation of Tianjia.

"If you don't want to write this song of Yan Zhao." The Empress Dowager said.

Seeing that the matter was irreversible, the eldest princess simply admitted the matter by mistake, but bestowing a marriage is not an option, she at least wants to keep Yan Zhaoge in this life rich and safe, and not get involved again.She shook her head and said: "Grandmother, Yan Zhaoge doesn't know about this matter."

The emperor was shocked.

My imperial sister is unrequited love? !How did this work? !How could Yan Zhaoge deserve to make my imperial sister have unrequited love? !How dare he not please my imperial sister? !

The Empress Dowager was also stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Yan Lan gave birth to a good son, who can make Shao'er unrequitedly in love...I really want to meet..."

The emperor's brain was running fast, and he had a choice between letting the empress dowager go west with her grandson's unrequited love and letting the empress dowager have no regrets. In an instant, he made a decision.

"Grandmother, this Yan Zhaoge is still in the palace, grandson has just summoned him, and he has not been let out of the palace yet!" The emperor finished speaking quickly, not allowing the eldest princess to refuse, and immediately ordered the servant guarding outside the door: " Come, tell Yan Zhaoge who is waiting in Weiyang Palace to come over! Allow him to run quickly in the palace, hurry up!"
