[Comprehensive] It is not easy to be abandoned

The days passed without any disturbance, and Li Zhi's dizziness became more and more serious.Countless times, on the sick bed, Li Zhi held Namin's hand and sighed: "I am lucky to have Zitong." Although the government now relies on Nemin to handle major affairs, Namin has never been good at military and state affairs. There is no partiality due to closeness, let alone civil and military officials, even Li Zhi has no one to criticize.

Namin only pursed her lips and smiled softly: "We must not let down the trust of the saint."

Yes, trust.

Li Zhi sighed in his heart, as time went by, how could he not see it, or she never kept it from her.The harmony between the emperor and empress is definitely not due to love. Some of them are family, country and world. It is mutual trust, a trust based on power.He relies on her skill and ability, and needs her to handle the affairs of the court and preside over the overall situation; she is already full-fledged, and most of the new officials in the court are handpicked by her, but they are all capable officials, who are beneficial to the country and the people, and they are old officials. , And he has never been careless in the slightest. He has never been biased in judging people by their talents, and he is irrefutable.

Sometimes, he can't even figure out her thoughts, he has great power in his hands, but he has never been selfish. "The sons of saints are also concubines."Or she can well integrate selfishness and business, which is not against her heart, but also beneficial to the country and the people.Such a mentality made him feel admiration.Smart and talented, but never overstepping the rules and keeping her duty, such a woman is naturally convincing.

Listening to her explaining the court affairs one by one in a soft and peaceful voice, no matter how difficult the matter is, her expression is so peaceful and calm, with a little carelessness, as if nothing can make her frown.

"Zitong, have you ever thought about..." After a pause, Li Zhi shook his head and said, "How about Xianer?"

In recent years, Li Xian has become more provocative, and the director of the household department has also won the praise of all the officials.Namin asked him to summon Hanlin civil officials to annotate "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", which won the hearts of a group of literati.

Hearing the temptation and consultation in his words, Na Min slightly curled her lower lip: "The sage's vision is naturally very good."

Li Zhi responded lightly.

The next day, an imperial edict was issued.

After several years of hard work, Li Xian finally entered the East Palace. Na Min never detained him for a moment, and together with Li Zhi left the palace, the prince supervised the country without any restrictions.After returning to the palace, he never emptied his power.Doing so relieved those fearful ministers of the Eastern Palace, and at the same time, they respected the Queen even more.

But it made Li Xian even more uneasy.In the Hall of Anren, I saw Na Min smiling and praising him, urging him not to disappoint his father and his courtiers, he looked calm and breezy, as if everything was normal, but Li Xiansheng did not dare to disobey him in the slightest Heart.Even in the Palace of Ganlu, facing her own father, she was never so cautious and frightened.

But the things that worried him never happened.

Hearing the news of Li Zhi's death and the edict, Li Xian ascended the throne in front of the coffin, and respected Nemin as the empress dowager.The Empress Dowager returned to power Li Xian on the grounds of "the wisdom of the new emperor". Because of her old age, she needed to rest and lived in a different palace in the eastern capital all the year round.The replacement of old and new, everything is so smooth.

When the new emperor came to the throne, the birth mother should be enshrined in Jin as usual, and the Wu family was also the favorite concubine of the former emperor. His courtiers knelt down and begged: "All the concubines of the former emperor should go to Ganye Temple to meditate according to the regulations, but Jing Jieyu is the birth mother of the saint. It can't be."

Li Xian was slightly stunned, and immediately said: "I will report to the Empress Dowager about the affairs of the harem." After finishing speaking, he wrote a book and sent it to Dongdu as quickly as possible.

After receiving Li Xian's letter, Na Min smiled softly, and handed the letter to the female officer in front of her: "Wan'er also take a look, in your opinion, how should this matter be done properly."

Shangguan Wan'er looked down for a while, then pursed her lips and said, "The Empress Dowager has feelings in her heart, why do you need to ask Wan'er again?" Since she was ten years old, she was photographed by Nemin at palace banquets, and followed her, It has been 11 years now, she has always been smart, and she can figure out how Namin is thinking, how can she not see her mood at the moment?

"You girl, if the Ai family asks you, you can get your complaints, and you will become more and more talkative." Namin glanced at her with a smile, but she was not at all annoyed, "Grind the ink for the Ai family."

When he received a letter from Dongdu, Li Xian read it, and pressed the letter on the table, showing a bit of wry smile.The family relationship between mother and child, his adoptive mother and biological mother have always been at odds, this family relationship is asking him what to choose.He couldn't help but sighed dejectedly, and silently ordered the servant to study ink with him.Li Xian sat in front of the case, his face was calm and unmarked, and he wrote slowly and forcefully, as if he had poured all his strength into the vermilion brush in his hand.

All concubines in the palace who have children can take them to the palace to support them, and enjoy the family relationship to the fullest; Jing Jieyu Wu is the elder of Emperor Sejong. I dare not speak rashly, so I ordered her to go to Ganye Temple to pray for the royal family.

Watching the servant respectfully retreat with his handwritten edict, Li Xian was very calm in his heart, as a king, he should make a choice.He lived in Anren Hall since he was a child, and he never dared to forget his mother's words and deeds.I still remember that day, it was cold outside the house, but inside it was warm. His mother, the regent queen of the Tang Dynasty, was leaning on the couch, with a pure white and flawless fox fur blanket wrapped around her waist. , stroking her forehead with one hand, holding up a memorial with the other, with a leisurely smile on her lips, as if she was that ordinary girl in a boudoir, flipping through a volume of poems and books to pass the time.

Casual demeanor, but it is so noble that people can't look directly at it.

Throwing the memorial aside casually, he took the teacup offered by the female officer, and the white mist curled up, blurring her gentle and soft face: "What do you think about this matter?"

Li Xian opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head and did not speak.Ever since my mother became regent, the stubborn veterans in the court have never stopped for a day. This time, the members of the Xiao clan committed a crime, which is not a big mistake.Now in the court, the Xiao family is even more clinging to the Wang family, making a fuss.He was worried at first, but when he saw his mother like this, he became dazed.

"Do you know, Xian'er, why did they tell you about this?" The Queen Mother's tone was very flat, and even her expression was flat, as if she didn't care about anything and saw it in her eyes, "Because your mother is me. Above the government and the opposition, it’s just an exchange one after another. If I can’t get what I want, I won’t be able to exchange what you want, that’s all.”

After recovering, the bitterness on Li Xian's face became more and more serious.His mother, never shy away from his life experience, never concealed her likes and dislikes, he was able to do well in the court, and also benefited from her teaching, but the more time passed, the more confused he became , I can't see clearly what kind of person his queen mother is, and I can't give birth to the slightest thoughts.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, may not be as prestigious as Chang'an in terms of majesty, but it is even more romantic.

Standing outside the gate of the other palace, watching the palace gates open one after another, the palace people respectfully knelt down on the ground, Li Xian sighed slightly in his heart, but his face was very calm, he got off the imperial chariot, straightened his clothes, and stepped in. .

There are many other courtyards in the Eastern Capital, all of which are rich and exquisite, with jade towers and jade buildings, carved railings and jade. It was very soft and tender, making the conversation in the inner room softer.

"My queen, I dare not forget my mother's teachings for a day in these years..."

"Mother, I am puzzled..."

"Mother..."

The most honorable woman in the Tang Dynasty, former queen regent and today's empress dowager, only smiled faintly with her thin quilt wrapped around her quilt. After a long time, Fang Rou said: "The sage is too tired to travel, so he will stay in the other palace for a few more days." stop."

Li Xian's voice was also silent for a long time, with a trace of invisible resentment, he said softly: "Mother, I... is your emperor after all." He didn't quite understand the melancholy in the past, but as he got older, he didn't know that the deepest and softest part of his mother's heart did not belong to him, nor did he belong to his father.

"How can the Ai family not understand? But, you are the emperor of Tang Dynasty, aren't you?"

"My mother, the Wang family, is also a subject of the Tang Dynasty. This matter... Although it is my mother's family, I can't know it." The Wang family in Taiyuan is originally a famous family, and the queen mother is the daughter of the Wang family, and it is flourishing. , No one in the court dares to underestimate the slightest.Because of the Empress Dowager's regent, the Wang family got the key to keeping a low profile, which won praises from the government and the public, but they didn't want to, but after a few years, those who stayed in the court were just empty shells.

"If there is any Ai Qing who has objections to this, you might as well let him come over, and the Ai family will tell him what the Wang family is doing."

At this point, the conversation has reached an impasse.Even though Li Xian was in all kinds of emotions, he could only smile slightly, and replied: "It's my wish to be with the Queen Mother." When he got up to leave, he couldn't help but look back at the woman standing behind the Queen Mother with lowered eyebrows, Shangguan Wan'er, When he first came to the throne, he had discussed with his mother, but it was unsuccessful because of Shangguan Wan'er's refusal. Unexpectedly, after so many years, she was still alone in front of his mother.

Leaving the inner room and coming to his own bedroom, Li Xian showed deep exhaustion on his face, and sighed to the most trustworthy close minister in front of him: "If the mother insists on doing this, I will be very powerless."

No sound, silence.

As a former minister of the East Palace and a loyal subject to the emperor, he hoped that the sage could keep all the inside and outside of the imperial court in his heart, without any restrictions. How important is the Empress Dowager to the Daming Palace, to the imperial court, and even to the world? At that time, she regulated the world for decades, moistened things and invaded silently, and intertwined her own power with the well-being of the common people. Such a strategy makes people fearful but at the same time it is unavoidable to admire it.

"I know what my mother means. I grew up beside my mother since I was a child, and I am also clear about my mother's temperament. When my mother does things, she makes decisions before acting. As long as I don't move, everything will be peaceful and worry-free."

After leaving the hospital for a few days, Li Xian bid farewell to Namin and returned to Chang'an.

Looking at the leisurely and indifferent master in the inner room, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but whispered: "The sage comes and goes in a hurry, I don't know if there is something wrong in the court?"

"It's just a little bit, no problem." Na Min replied softly, but the determination and self-confidence in the words were fully revealed, "Wan'er need not worry, the Ai family must arrange you all properly, if not, call the Ai family How can I be at ease?" As for life and death, she was extremely indifferent, and this life was considered a return of honor, as long as she made arrangements with her old friends, she would have nothing else to worry about.

Seeing that she closed her eyes and rested, Shangguan Wan'er was no longer interested in speaking, she carefully covered the thin quilt, and then quietly backed out.

When hearing the news that the Empress Dowager was critically ill, the ruling and opposition parties were filled with solemnity.Li Xian rushed to the other hospital in Luoyang even faster and day and night. When he saw the thin and withered face on the sick bed, he couldn't help crying: "Mother."

Namin raised her hand and brushed it away gently for him, the peace and tranquility in her eyes, as if life and death were just a light sleep: "Did Xian'er ever blame me?"

It should be soft words to comfort, saying that he is full of admiration and has never complained, but for some reason, when he met those eyes with a three-point smile and three-part sigh, he was speechless and just bowed his head in silence .

"It's the empress who can't stand you." Na Min smiled lowly. At first, she could excuse it because of the Wu family, but later, she was the regent and she was in power. It's hard to be so self-deceiving.Unknowingly, the life she greeted in the Anle Hall, the grass-inch heart made of rattan and grass, and the bright yellow figure kneeling solemnly in the Renshou Palace appeared in her mind, obviously it happened decades ago. She remembered all the scenes clearly, and couldn't help but let out a very gentle smile.

Li Xian raised his eyes and saw his mother's nostalgic expression, and felt a pain in his heart: "Mother, my child..."

"Did the queen mother tell you that my son is like this, and the queen mother is very relieved. It's just that in the next life, if there is an afterlife..."

Li Xian just watched helplessly as the hand brushing his face slipped down gently, leaving an unresolved sigh that fell heavily in his heart.

The death knell of the city is long, the empress dowager is dead, and the world is empty.

So mournful, Namin didn't care about it, she just walked in a trance, in the endless darkness, like a huge and thick haze covering all the brilliance, she didn't know how long she walked, and she didn't know how long she had gone No matter how far away, I finally heard a soft sigh "Chier".

What is crazy?

Clinging to the original mind, being at ease, and being infected with the poison of ignorance and hatred is also what I want.

In a vague way, there seemed to be a brilliance passing by, and it was extremely enchanting in the black eyes. The next moment, I heard the cry of a child, and before I could tell where the familiarity came from, I fainted again.

The author has something to say: The updates have been interrupted in the past two days, and the lights are sloppy. I talked about it in the penguin group and forgot to leave a message here. I am really sorry for causing everyone to wait for a long time.

Because I am editing the ending, so many things are a bit messy, I am a little late, sorry.

Regarding the abolition of the empress, it was a very accidental idea. I wanted to write a short article, which can be regarded as a kind of essay, and because I really admire Gillian, I started writing rashly.At the beginning, the outline I set was a story about not knowing love, gradually learning the compromise and helplessness in love, and finally having this kind of realistic love.But as I wrote it, there were indeed many problems.The heroine's character was set too lightly at the beginning, and then the emotional line couldn't be drawn out.

It's also because Denghua's own writing skills are not enough to control such a comprehensive essay that has both rhythm and plot. It is easy to procrastinate and not good at romance, which really makes me very troubled.

Later, I thought about changing the tone, and only had the Wu family of Ming Palace and the Wang family of Tang Palace.At this point in the article, I don’t know what else to write. The heroine’s temperament is cold and has nothing to do with love. The supreme throne of the world, and then there is no other right to write.

I originally planned to revise the Qing palace part, but I kept repeating it, but I didn’t know how to do it. Shunzhi and Meng Guqing were indeed my worries too much. Originally, he was the hero of my original outline. Confused.

After this book is scrapped, there are indeed problems of one kind or another, but as far as Deng Hua is concerned, although there are flaws, I have indeed spent a lot of thought on it.I am really grateful to have so many friends who are still with me till the end.

Thank you, as long as you are all here, Denghua will continue to work hard to write, hoping to really write a book that will not leave any regrets, but also make everyone like it.
