The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

The Queen Mother passed away, so it is necessary to attend the funeral.

Before the empress dowager died, the relationship between the emperor and her was already very bad. The empress dowager had lived in Fengyu Palace for decades, and she had been here since she entered the palace as the empress. Gyeongbokgung Palace is located in the northwest of the palace. It is much colder than Fengyu Palace, and the rations for the Queen Mother have also been reduced a lot. In fact, she has been completely imprisoned. Normally, no one can go in to see her. Nor can she spread the word.

The Empress Dowager is a woman who has been in glory for so many years. Naturally, she couldn't calm down the feeling of being a prisoner, so her health began to deteriorate, and her illnesses became crooked. But even if she was sick, she couldn't get good care. , her health was naturally not good, but her death was not due to her own illness.

The emperor wanted to promote Zhao Zhili, so before that, he had to get rid of the queen mother.

That evening, he came to Gyeongbokgung Palace.

The Empress Dowager was leaning on the couch watching the sunset outside the window, the weather was already getting hot in May, it would be good to open the window and get some fresh air.

Just staring at the scenery outside the window, only the white clouds drifting across the sky, only a few osmanthus trees in the courtyard, and two pots of lotus, because Gyeongbokgung Palace has not undergone major repairs, it is already a bit old, and the railings outside The painted paint has fallen off and become mottled after the corrosion of time.

The queen mother thought that when she first married the first emperor, she would often come to Gyeongbokgung Palace to pay her respects to the old queen. The Gyeongbokgung Palace at that time was much more lively than it is now.

At this time, the eunuch's chanting sounded outside, "The emperor is here."

When the Queen Mother heard it, she was stunned for a moment, and then she calmed down, thinking that the Zhao family had already been dealt with by the emperor, and her ending was nothing more than death. Not very afraid of death.

So she is not afraid of the emperor's coming. The most important thing the emperor gives her is a cup of dove wine, and the queen mother is not afraid of this cup of dove wine. Glory has been maintained for such a long time.

However, she immediately had to think that there is nothing permanent in this world. Even the royal family has its own changes from generation to generation, let alone the rise and fall of a princely family.

Therefore, the decline of the Zhao family, when the queen mother was able to calm down in the face of death, she can naturally see it.

She sat there, unmoved by the emperor's arrival, and chanted softly in her mouth: the setting sun is flying from west to west, the river is flowing from east to west, the night comes and today is the Ming Dynasty, suddenly youth is over.A romantic figure through the ages, so many heroes at one time.The battle between dragons and tigers is long and exhausting, and it ends in a chat.

The servant serving the empress dowager greeted the emperor outside, and then Lady Yuxiang came into the inner room and said in a low voice, "Empress dowager, the emperor is here."

The queen mother glanced at her and said, "No matter how much Aijia is still the queen mother, should Aijia go out to meet him instead of him coming to pay his respects?"

The lady officer Yuxiang wanted to say something, but the emperor had already entered by himself, and said, "That's true, it's time for the minister to come and pay his respects to the queen mother."

The queen mother snorted coldly, and looked at the emperor again. She hadn't seen the emperor for a long time. She thought that he had firmly grasped the power in his hands at a young age, and had forced her, her great enemy, to such an extent. The situation, the Zhao family is also dealt with, he will be a winner, and he must be full of pride and complacency. I didn't expect the emperor to be just plain and expressionless. Seeing her is like seeing anyone Same.

If the emperor was arrogant in front of the empress dowager, the empress dowager would be happy instead, because this kid is nothing more than that, but the emperor's flat posture made her very dissatisfied.

Because in front of such an emperor, she suddenly felt that she was a complete loser.

Now that the emperor had said that, he really bowed to the queen mother to greet her respectfully, and said, "I wish my mother well. I don't know if my mother is safe or not."

The queen mother stared at him and sneered, "Don't you know what's going on here at Ai's house?"

The emperor took a look into the room, and Liu Sheng, who was following him, quickly put a stool behind the emperor, and the emperor sat down.

Then he expressed his affection to Liu Sheng, and Liu Sheng asked the female officer Jiexiang to go out with him.

Only the empress dowager and the emperor were left in the room, and the emperor said to the empress dowager, "I do know what's going on here with the empress mother, but it's my negligence to come to see you at this time."

Seeing that the emperor was able to say such words so frankly, the queen mother became even more angry, thinking of this heartless thing, she also cursed, "The emperor still knows the word dereliction of duty, you hate the family so much, now When you come here, what's the matter?"

The emperor's expression was still peaceful, but he said in his mouth, "I just beg my mother to go and accompany my father."

Because of his words, the queen mother laughed loudly, and then said sharply, "Do you think the Ai family is afraid of death? The Ai family is not afraid of anything. How do you want the Ai family to die? Back then, your biological mother, Yi Guiren, drank The Jiujiu given by the Ai family is said to have died after writhing on the ground for a long time, so what are you preparing for the Ai family?"

She thought that she would see the emperor's face change suddenly when she said so, but she didn't expect the emperor to still look plain, without even furrowing his eyebrows. The queen mother said in her heart, this heartless person doesn't even know her own biological mother Distressed.

The emperor looked at the queen mother, because he was too calm, which made the excited queen mother less excited. The queen mother scolded him again, "Don't you even care about the death of your biological mother? You are a heartless monster."

The emperor sighed softly, and said, "How could I not care about my mother's death, but even if I cared, my mother would never come back to life, and I will repay her for her death well. The emperor had no peace with me before. The meaning of your mother's burial is that in addition to building the emperor's mausoleum, you also built the empress mausoleum for you in the concubine's mausoleum, but you made your own claim and rebuilt the empress mausoleum next to the father's emperor's mausoleum, and wanted to be buried with the father .Since your mother is going to die, you naturally can't decide this matter. I will still bury you in the concubine's cemetery, and move your mother as the empress dowager to the empress dowager you built to be with your father. The emperor's joint burial can be regarded as a reward for her."

The queen mother was very angry because of his words, and shouted, "You dare! You dare! You dare to do this!"

The emperor saw that the empress dowager's blood surged up, and a pair of eyes were about to protrude from the sunken eyes due to weight loss, but he was still able to laugh and said, "Queen mother, you know I dare, so you are so afraid, don't you. Do you think I dare, how could I not dare to do such a small thing."

The queen mother sternly said, "The courtiers will not agree."

The emperor said, "There is no objection to the courtiers. Otherwise, what will you do with the rear mausoleum you built, as an empty mausoleum?"

The queen mother was so angry that she jumped off the couch, wanting to slap the emperor a few times.

The Empress Dowager was originally from a family of generals, and her temper was actually violent, but it was never before that she had to beat someone by herself. At this time, she was so angry that she was so angry.

But the emperor didn't care about her fury, and even looked at her with a look of cold eyes watching a joke, which made the empress dowager even more angry. Before the empress dowager hit the emperor, the emperor grabbed her hand and threw her away. He threw her directly to the ground.

The queen mother was out of breath, her cheeks were flushed, she was gnashing her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

The emperor then walked to the door and called out again, "Aunt Jiexiang."

The court lady Jiexiang came into the room, saluted the emperor, and the emperor sat back in his seat, and said, "Help the queen mother up."

Jie Xiang hurried over to help the Queen Mother up. The Queen Mother was so angry that she wanted to push Jie Xiang away, and gave her a slap.

Jie Xiang was not moved by the beating, she just said, "Your Majesty, get up."

The queen mother cursed sharply, "Get lost."

Jie Xiang didn't get out of bed, but still helped the Empress Dowager up halfway, and let her sit down on the couch again.

The emperor didn't let Jiexiang go out, but said to the queen mother, "When you die, I will let Aunt Jiexiang go to the Qilin Hall to serve me. I had this intention a long time ago, but Aunt Jiexiang wanted to be with you." Old love, I don’t want to let it pass away early.”

Officer Yuxiang bowed her body slightly and said nothing.

The queen mother naturally understood the emperor's words, she shot at Jiexiang sharply, and said, "Okay, since when did you betray the master and turn to him."

Jiexiang didn't answer, so the queen mother said, "You betrayed the Ai family, you can never expect a good result, you are all buried with the Ai family, you are all buried together."

The emperor smiled and said, "Mother, you are going to die, so what about the burial. Aunt Jiexiang, when did you say you started to vote for me?"

Jie Xiang's expression was calm, but between her brows there was determination and indifferent calmness that could see through the world, and she said, "Your Majesty, the servant girl and His Majesty's biological mother Yigui are actually twin sisters. Because the family is poor and the mother can't breastfeed, the servant girl is given to someone else." I was adopted, but I didn’t expect my adoptive parents’ family to suffer, so I was sold as a slave, and then I was sold to the Zhao Mansion. Fortunately, my mother appreciated you and became your maid, and even followed me to the Prince’s Mansion and entered the palace. Even though I have been tossed around like this, the servant girl knows that I have a twin sister, and I have a bond with her. The first time I saw her in the palace, I knew we were sisters, and my sister also had the same feelings as me. She Heartache, I will also be heartbroken, she panics, I will panic, she is happy, I will be happy, and vice versa, my feelings are the same for her, what a mysterious thing, just like we are the same Personally, when she died, I was in so much pain that I felt worse than death. Afterwards, I felt as if I had lost my soul. It was just that I was entrusted by my sister to protect Your Majesty, so I was able to live forever. Knowing that the empress treats me well, so the empress loses power, and the slaves are not willing to leave, so they must serve the empress until the last moment."

The queen mother stared angrily when she heard this, and looked at Jiexiang dumbfounded, thinking that for so many years, the person she trusted the most, who had followed her for decades, had actually been lying to herself. It was totally unacceptable, she suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, her eyes were dizzy, but she quickly steadied herself, when Jie Xiang saw her vomiting blood, she hurried forward to serve her, wiped her with a towel, and brought her ginseng tea to drink, but the Queen Mother slapped the ginseng tea open, and then slapped Jiexiang hard.

The emperor just sat on the sidelines and watched coldly, seeing the angry and unacceptable expression of the queen mother, but he didn't feel much pleasure in his heart. He knew that his emotions always changed too fast, and the hatred for the queen mother had long since disappeared. In his eyes, the queen mother is just an identity. He wants her to be whatever he wants, because without deep hatred, he has nothing to be happy about seeing her like this.

The emperor found that except for Ji Heng and things related to Ji Heng, he had great mood swings, and he was almost so calm about other things that he found it incredible.

Without Ji Heng, he felt that he was a rotating machine, a machine on the throne, not a person.

At this time, he couldn't help thinking of Ji Heng again, thinking that he was like a ball of light under him that night, illuminating his whole body, he had never been so excited and happy, and naturally he had never been so genuine Make sure you feel like a human being.

The emperor thought of Ji Heng's dagger that was about to stab him and then turned away. He smiled a little, and then said to the queen mother, "I am mother's son, but mother and my aunt are such close sisters. I am also the son of my aunt. The Empress Dowager Mercy is gone, and I still have my aunt to be filial to, so you can leave with peace of mind, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother shouted furiously, "You are born of a lowly maidservant, how dare you do that."

After she finished cursing, she vomited another mouthful of blood, and Jie Xiang was embarrassed to serve her again, but the emperor said, "Auntie, don't serve the queen mother anymore, she is very angry, just spit out the stagnation in her chest, that's fine. "

The queen mother was even more angry when she heard what he said.

The emperor said again, "There is one more thing I forgot to tell my mother, why do you think the Zhao family lost so badly?"

The queen mother's chest rose and fell, and she was speechless as she glared at him angrily.

The emperor smiled and said, "Because Cousin Ji Yong is really good to me, because he was dissatisfied with the marriage you arranged for him, so he surrendered to my side early. I don't know what you are doing. .Mother, your favorite nephew is like this, do you think I can not be so lucky. "

The queen mother stared at the emperor with wide eyes, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end she tilted her body and fell down on the couch.

The emperor raised his lips slightly, with a calm and mocking expression, looking at the queen mother quietly.

Maid Yuxiang stood beside her. Seeing the queen mother like this, she hesitated and walked over to help her up, but she found that the queen mother's body suddenly became heavy. She was startled, and stretched out her hand to check the queen mother's breath, followed by Surprised, he looked at the emperor.

The emperor got up at this time, and said, "Even if the Queen Mother is broad-minded, she can't bear the fact that the person she trusts the most can't be trusted from the very beginning, and the person she trusts the most has actually betrayed long ago."

The court lady Jiexiang knelt down to the emperor at once, and the emperor looked at her and said, "Auntie, I will allow you whatever you want."

Jie Xiang said, "Let the servants guard the mausoleum for the empress."

The emperor's eyes moved for a moment, then he regained his deep composure, and said, "I agree."

Then turned around and walked out the door.

That night, the big bell in the palace was rang, which was the bell of the Queen Mother's death.
