Ben Hou is ill

The Empress Dowager is actually the last insurance against Duke Shu.

The family is full of loyalty, her natal family has no heirs, raised the first emperor, and raised the present.The highest seniority in the nearby clan is the Duke of Shu. Even the Duke of Shu waited until the death of the Empress Dowager before he dared to act, which is enough to show his status in the ruling and opposition parties.

If the Empress Dowager lived for a few more years, things would not have become so bad.

such a pity.

Yan Zhaoge held the cup and took a sip of tea, then heaved a long sigh.

In the fourth year of Xingping, the emperor had just passed away, and he hadn't even promulgated the pre-prepared edict, so the Duke of Shu mutinied.First, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, who was in armor and guarding the palace, killed his chief and took control of Weiyang Palace.Just before the emperor's sick bed, the bones were still warm, but the Duke of Shu said that the prince was young and still in his infancy, not enough to take care of the country, and the clan could not obey the imperial edict.The deputy commander of Jin Yiwei stood in the hall, holding a knife in one hand and the bloody head of his own officer in the other. Several important officials present took off their hats and obeyed the order.

That night, the Duke of Shu bloodbathed the nobles who held military power inside and outside Chang'an, and anyone who refused to kneel down was executed for treason, including the school lieutenant of the Eighth School of Jingying and the Guangnan Houfu.

On the charge of murdering the emperor, the Duke of Shu ransacked the entire family of the empress's natal family, and seized the title of the Marquis of Zhao from the empress dowager's natal family. The prince who was carried out by the palace servants desperately during the night of the palace change escaped unharmed.

After the Duke of Shu ascended the throne, the decree was delivered to the world, and the brothers of the Duke of Shu responded in Shu and led their troops to the north; Si Jianhong, the king of Jinan, killed the Prime Minister of Jinan, gathered the troops of Lu, and refused to obey the edict, and many clans responded verbally General Zhengxi stood still in Liangzhou, neither obeying orders nor raising troops; Marquis of Guangnan heard that his whole family had been beheaded, vomited blood and fainted, and his hair turned white all night.

Yan Zhaoge always felt that Yan Lan's death was at the hands of the Marquis of Guangnan, just to hold the military power in the Northland and for her grandson to ascend to the throne in the future, she thought so before she committed suicide.The anguish of no way to revenge, the death of her family, the pain of the country's ruin and family destruction, tortured her all the time. She even dreamed of Yan Lan and Yan Ningyue, and perhaps Yan Ningsheng who had never heard from her.The rotting body of his father after his death, the terrifying face of his stepmother when he bleeds to death after taking poison, Yan Ningyue struggling in the hot pot and gradually melting, Yan Ningsheng dissipated in the crowd like a cloud of smoke, Appeared in her empty dreams again and again, as if questioning her day and night: Why is there no revenge?Why not avenge us?

But when she was pierced by thousands of arrows, she suddenly let go of this hatred, so what can be done?The truth is no longer known, but Guangnanhou is much more miserable than her. After she died, there was at least one Yan Ningkang alive in the Yan family, but Guangnanhou's mansion didn't even have a daughter left.

Yan Zhaoge didn't hate him anymore, so what if he hated him any more?The dead cannot come back, but the living are tortured.She never confided all this to anyone, including the eldest princess.The eldest princess can understand her. If she said it, she might be able to relieve the pain under her comfort.But that's just treating the symptoms but not the root cause, adding another sadness to the eldest princess.With the temperament of the eldest princess, she will definitely take all this on herself and regard it as the fault of the royal family.

Yan Zhaoge didn't want to see her in pain, even the only joy was an illusion, a disguise.She would rather lie to herself.

It's just that I couldn't hold it anymore.

She lived for nearly 30 years, and when she had the will to die, she never kept anything.Yan Guo's uncles and brothers, biological mother, uncle, Yan Ge, grandfather, father, stepmother, and then two younger brothers.In the end, only Yan Ningkang and the eldest princess were left with her.But she is the elder brother, she has to be the younger brother to rely on, how can she rely on the younger brother in turn, the eldest princess is her monarch, the marriage is false, the allegiance is true, she has never been able to respond to Yan Zhaoge.

It is really desperate that he will respond to the request of the Duke of Shu.

【Yan Zhaoge, if you dare to ride alone, I will open the gate of Chang'an City. 】

When Yan Zhaoge received the letter, he laughed so hard that tears flowed from his eyes.After that, she tied up the eldest princess, explained her funeral, and died calmly.When she left, the little emperor respected her as his father, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to bid farewell to her.

This is retaliation for retaliation. The Duke of Shu killed her brother and son, and now the Duke of Shu came to kill her again. When Chang'an was recovered, the eldest princess He will avenge her, and the family of the Duke of Shu will not end well.

Not sure, but she earned it.

Yan Zhaoge wiped away the tears seeping from the corners of his eyes, and scolded himself in his heart.He called the guarding servant and got a cup of hot tea.

After all, there is still time, and the opportunity to live a new life has been unique for thousands of years, and she is absolutely unwilling to give up until the last moment.

Now that the Duke of Shu is in Beijing, he has more opportunities to use his mobile phones. The Empress Dowager is about to leave. Although the kings are in Beijing, it may not be a reason for him to be wary.

It is not known exactly what the Duke of Shu promised to go out, but judging from the actions of the important ministers who took off their hats and feathers and knelt down to greet each other later, it must be a very generous condition, nothing more than cracking the soil and ennobling him, preferential tax exemption, Even the lieutenants of the Hu Qi and Yue Qi battalions of the Eighth School of the Beijing Camp joined their camp and were willing to serve as lackeys for the Duke of Shu.It's a pity that the soldiers and horses of the Eighth School of the Beijing Camp are unwilling to follow the wishes of the officials and thieves. The eighth school in the Beijing Camp has been the son of a good family for generations, from father to son, and son to grandson. There were very few soldiers and horses who rebelled, and they all risked their lives to escort the eldest princess and the prince to the north.Some soldiers who were on duty outside the city that night did not even have time to go home to say goodbye to their parents, so they set foot on the road of no return.

There were nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses in the Eighth School of the Beijing Camp, and [-]% of them died on the road.

Out of the city of Chang'an, the strong headed north all the way, while the weak, wounded, and sick were willing to die.On the road to the north, there were all the corpses of the loyal and righteous men of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Now that the eldest princess has transferred Hu Qiyueqi to the north, the Duke of Shu thinks he has no chance to win them over.In the remaining six battalions, Huben is directly under the eldest princess, Captain Changshui is the elder brother of the queen's family, Captain Shesheng and Captain Infantry were born in the orphan camp of Shanglinyuan, the captain of Zhongba has been vacant for many years, and there is only one cavalry battalion left. I can't think of any big storms.

The only problem was Jin Yiwei. The most important thing on the day of the palace change was Jin Yiwei. If the commander of Jin Yiwei hadn't died, and the deputy commander had defected to the Duke of Shu and controlled the Weiyang Palace, the courtiers present might not have defected so quickly.However, the reason why the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei defected to the Duke of Shu is not very clear, because the second month after the Duke of Shu took the throne, he ransacked the house of the deputy commander, and more than [-] servants in the whole house were sent to the execution ground. , Even young children were not spared.

Yan Zhaoge blew on the hot air, and couldn't help squinting her eyes. After waking up, she felt a little chilly, and she was still drinking hot tea in May.

Footsteps came hurriedly from outside the hall, like an hour ago, the armored palace guard broke into the hall and said, "Your Majesty Jihou, Your Majesty summons you to Shouning Palace."

Call me to Shouning Palace?What did you call me to Shouning Palace?It is the Queen Mother who is related to the Yan family, not the Empress Dowager, and has nothing to do with it at all.

Yan Zhaoge couldn't figure it out, but the palace guards couldn't allow her to continue thinking, and even brought her a horse.

Yan Zhaoge even had the illusion that this was not the death of the empress dowager, but the death of the emperor.

All the way, the horse's hooves hit the stone slabs, and the sound was crisp. There were Jin Yiwei and Gongwei in front of her to clear the way for her, so she didn't have to worry about going to the wrong place and going to the palace she shouldn't go to.

Yan Zhaoge had never met the Empress Dowager, nor did she know anyone from the Ye family, but she admired the House of Loyalty bestowed by the late emperor.The empress dowager left and right is going, and it's nothing to see her. It is also her blessing to be able to send the empress dowager off.

In the inner hall of the Shouning Palace, the servants were screened out, there were not many people present, she recognized the emperor and the eldest princess, the older one was the empress dowager, and the lady who was accompanied by the nanny holding the child must be the empress.

"Minister Zhao Ge..."

The emperor directly interrupted her, saying: "The imperial grandmother wants to see you, what etiquette has been saved, come here quickly."

This tone is really rude.Yan Zhaoge was choked for a moment, so he had to bow his hands, and walked forward, the emperor made room for her to kneel on the couch.

"Grandmother, Yan Zhaoge has arrived."

The Empress Dowager seemed to be taking a nap for a while, and slowly opened her eyes, her cloudy eyes moved, her gaze fell on Yan Zhaoge, and she asked, "Are you the eldest son of Marquis Ji?"

"Respectfully ask the Empress Dowager Shengan, Jihou is the father of the minister." Yan Zhaoge replied.

"Is your father okay?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, my father is in good health."

"Hey...it is said that the prodigal son will not be exchanged for money when he returns, but the prodigal son will suffer a lot when he returns. If there are no disasters and no difficulties, the life of the dandy will be fine. Let your father not force himself, the body is important...you should not fight for strength... If you pass the imperial examination, you can be an official in the capital with peace of mind... Old lady, say a few more words, you can take them back to your father, don't blame old lady for meddling..."

Hearing the empress dowager's caring tone, Yan Zhaoge's nose felt sore for no reason.She hadn't felt this kind of care from her grandparents to her grandson for many years. Since the old Ji Hou passed away, there was no other old man who talked to her in such a kind tone and cared about her.

"Thank you, the Empress Dowager, for your concern. I will definitely bring it to my father."

The eldest princess looked at Yan Zhaoge who was about to cry, and sighed quietly, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

This is Yan Zhaoge, but not the Yan Zhaoge she recognized.

But reviving the whole life is inhumane, yes and no, familiar yet unfamiliar, it is really worrying.

Upsetting.
