White Moonlight's exclusive alpha

Historical records:

In the 23rd year of Wude in the Zhong Dynasty, Emperor Tianji passed away, and the empress dowager Tianling, who had been in charge of the court for ten years, came to the throne and changed the name of the country to Yongtai.

In December of the first year of Yongtai, General Luo Xing rebelled against him and was executed. The case was heavily involved, and countless people were killed for a while, and everyone inside and outside the court was in danger.

In March of the second year of Yongtai, Tianling promoted a heavenly bodyguard to be the empress and gave her the name Taoyao.

In March of the third year of Yongtai, Tianling gave birth to a daughter, named Tianze, nicknamed Wanwan.

In October of the second year of Yongtai, in the Palace of Kindness, Taoyao in a pink gown was holding a pink cloth flower, shaking it gently, teasing the girl in her arms.

The five-month-old child was just as cute as a snowball, with a pair of big black and white eyes attracted by the pink flowers that trembled as the man waved, and giggled from time to time.

Taoyao turned her head to Tianling with a happy face and said, "Your Majesty, Wanwan is having fun at this meeting, why don't you come and see the child?"

The woman in bright yellow uniform was sitting in front of the case, correcting seemingly endless memorials for decades.

She glanced at the happy couple, then shook her head coldly, "Forget it, she doesn't like me."

Wanwan is a very well-behaved child, basically anyone can hug her.

But only to Tianling, this child showed extreme resistance.

As soon as Tian Ling hugged her, he would start crying heart-piercingly, and he couldn't be coaxed.

Taoyao continued to tease her while thinking to herself.

Perhaps this is the spirituality of children.

A child will not get close to her mother-killing enemy, even if that person is her biological mother.

Tianze doesn't like his mother.

Although everyone around her told her that she should respect and love her mother.

Because her mother was the supreme emperor of the Zhong Dynasty, a single sentence could determine the life and death of thousands of people, including hers.

But Tianze still doesn't like her.

No matter how much fun I had with those court ladies, as soon as that person came, everyone would be silent.

But that woman always had a cold face, and swept everyone indifferently, as if those kneeling on the ground were not her own kind, but flowers and plants that could be trampled on at will.

So Tianze doesn't like her.

But as Tianling's only heir, even if she was reluctant, she still had to accompany her mother to attend various occasions.

Sometimes grand banquets are held in the palace, and those ministers who are favored by their mothers will also bring their families to the banquet.

Tianze watched those girls who were as old as him throw themselves into his mother's arms and act like a baby, looking so harmonious and warm.

But no matter what, she couldn't imagine how she would throw herself into Tianling or Taoyao's arms.

Needless to say, Tian Ling, although Tao Yao is her father, but he has been out of shape all day long, and Tian Ze naturally can't feel dependent on him.

Tian Ze also hoped that Tian Ling would show even a little care or concern to her.

But there was nothing, Tianling would hire her the best teacher, and asked the teacher every day how she was doing with her books, but never visited her in the study in person, even for a single glance.

It was as if raising her to be a competent successor was a duty rather than any other emotion.

Tianze thought that Tianling probably didn't like him either.

Hmph, who cares about your liking?

The little girl competed with her mother in this way. She was cold to herself, and she was even colder to her. She didn't take herself seriously, and she never took her seriously.

In this competition, more than ten years passed in a flash.

The 16-year-old Tianze is tall and straight, with a pair of pure black eyes without impurities and handsome bushy eyebrows, and there is always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The beautiful and healthy girl is like the rising sun, bringing warmth to this cold palace, but never burning any human cost.

Until she fell in love with another girl.

She was a delicate little palace lady, as weak as a tender grass that had just grown from the cracks in the bricks of the palace wall, but also like a spring breeze, making people want to get close unconsciously.

But Tianze dared not let his mother know about it.

She could almost imagine what would happen to this girl if her mother found out that she fell in love with a court lady with no background.

But the love of young people is always vigorous, and how can they be able to cover up if they want to.

The two had trysts again and again, although no one dared to ask about it in Tianze, but the little palace lady was already being watched by those who cared.

Finally, when the Dongchuang incident happened, Tianze rushed over, only to find that his beloved girl had been beaten to death, and the light-colored gauze skirt on her body was already stained red with blood.

The always gentle girl stood in front of her own girl with tearing eyes.

"Whoever dares to step forward, I will kill him!"

"Who are you going to kill?" A cold female voice came from outside the door, the volume was not loud, but it had already caused everyone to shiver and immediately fell to their knees.

Tianze's heart was cold, but he still stood upright.

Tianling walked in from the vermilion door, followed by Taoyao and others.

The king was still calm, and he didn't look at her more when he walked through Tianze.

The entourage moved the soft couch, Tianling sat down in a leisurely manner, and asked a little tiredly, "What's going on?"

Immediately, someone stepped forward to explain what had happened.

And Tianze kept staring at his mother, when her cold eyes fell on the little maid on the ground.

The sword she pointed at everyone immediately turned around, and it was firmly placed on her neck.

"If the mother wants to take her life, the daughter will kill herself immediately."

At an extremely critical moment, Tianze suddenly discovered that he had nothing against his mother.

The so-called fame, wealth and status, the so-called one person under one person and above ten thousand people, were all given to her by Tianling.

But she still has her own body to use,

She was the only crown princess of the Zhong Dynasty.

The woman on the soft couch looked at her helplessly or dissatisfied, just like an adult looking at a crying child. "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

Tianze gritted his teeth, and cut a small slit on the side of his neck with the sword, "How will you know if you don't try?"

Tian Ling sighed, everyone thought she was going to compromise.

But the woman just looked at her stubborn daughter coldly, "Then you die. After you die, I guarantee that she will not die. Not only will she not die, but she will not be able to live, and she will not be able to die."

The coldness in the woman's voice made everyone present tremble involuntarily.

Tianze looked at his mother in disbelief, from the woman's cold eyes, she couldn't see any warmth.

Yes, Tian Ling was not threatened by anyone, nor did she care about her life or death.

Even if she dies, she can't save her lover.

The sword in Tian Ze's hand fell to the ground.

"Others back down." Tao Yao signaled the people to leave quickly.

Not long after, there were only four of them left in the huge courtyard.

Tian Ze knelt down slowly.

Threats are useless, only pleading is left.

"I beg you, please don't kill her..."

The girl who had always been indifferent and taciturn in front of her mother was crying so humblely for the first time, trying to get the emperor's mercy.

And Tianling still looked at his crying daughter with a blank face, and said lightly: "You shouldn't talk like that."

Tian Ze looked at her sadly.

Tian Ling calmly said: "You are the heir of the Tian family, and the person who will inherit the century-old inheritance in the future, how can you be so affectionate?"

Tianze couldn't hear any possibility of loosening from her mother's tone, and at this moment she finally despaired.

The girl with beautiful eyebrows slowly straightened up, stared at the woman coldly, and finally sneered, "You think I want to be your daughter?"

But this sentence seems to have achieved better results.

For the first time, Tianze saw a dazed look on his mother's face.

But the trance was not for her.

Rather, it seemed to pass through her and land on someone who no longer existed.

But it was only for a moment, the woman came back to her senses, and gave her a faint look, "Now, go back to your East Palace and think about your mistakes behind closed doors. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the palace gate."

Her sudden wrong turn stunned Tianze for a moment, but he still did not forget his lover, "Then she..."

Tianling closed his eyes and pressed his forehead, "If you don't leave now, I will execute her immediately."

Tianze immediately understood what Tianling meant, and cast a reluctant look at the little maid, "Daughter resigns."

As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, Tianling said to Taoyao, "Go to the imperial doctor, heal her injury, and stay in your palace for appointment."

The man standing beside her gave her a half-smile, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Back in Yongtai Hall, Tianling reviewed the papers for a while, and felt sore all over her body. She is getting older now, and no matter how well she takes care of herself, she will never be the same as before.

Tianze's face flashed unconsciously in his mind, but it coincided with a more distant memory.

How time flies.

There was an announcement from the servant outside, Tao Yao Shi ran in and saluted, "Your Majesty, the little girl is all right now."

"En." Tianling replied absently, seeing that he would not leave, "What else is there?"

"It's nothing else." Tao Yao smiled, "It's just that I haven't seen you so soft-hearted for a long time."

"...Back down." Tianling gave him a cold look, and Taoyao immediately bowed and backed away.

She was the only one left in the resplendent but unpopular hall.

Tianling put down his pen and slowly leaned back on the chair.

Yes, she hasn't been so soft-hearted for a long time. The last time was when she was pregnant with Tian Ze.

Tian Ze was just a weapon she carried to comfort and paralyze Luo Xing, and it should be taken away after Luo Xing died.

But she didn't do that.

Maybe it's because Tianze is far less dangerous than her mother.

But more importantly, it should be made up for some kind of regret.

Before the execution, Tian Ling thought about going to see Luo Xing.

But she didn't go in the end, because she knew that if she saw Luo Xing, her heart would soften.

Tian Ling's eyes fell on the dancing lights not far away, and the beautiful flame burned her light gray pupils through the exquisite lampshade.

Her eyes can't see clearly because of the long time of correcting memorials for many years. Her body is weak, and she often gets dizzy in the morning and can't get out of bed.

And these, except for the imperial physician who often treats her, no one knows.

No one else knew that this emperor, who lived on the golden throne and seemed to be as strong as the scorching sun in the Zhong Dynasty at this time, was on the verge of running out of oil and lamps.

That's right.

The emperor cannot show weakness to others. What the country needs is an indomitable will, not a weak body.

You have to dig out your heart first, throw it on the ground, and then step on the bones of thousands of people to climb to that unique throne.

Tianling looked at the cold moon outside the window.

I don't know if it's because she's getting older, but she thinks of things from her childhood more and more frequently.

She was an obedient child when she was a child, but like Tian Ze at that time, she didn't like her father.

Her father was harsh, unkind, even cruel.

He never had a smile on his face, he would have someone drag him out and beat him to death just because the palace man broke a lamp.

Her mother came from a bad background, so no one thought she had a chance of succeeding until her father's health broke down.

Tianling didn't care, and she didn't care about the position. At that time, her greatest wish was to move out of the palace with her mother when she grew up, and become an idle prince.

Her mother was a taciturn woman, always staring at her father in the direction of the hall in a daze.

"Is mother missing dad?" The young Tianling once asked curiously.

The woman just gently stroked her forehead hair without speaking.

At the age of 12, Tianling got the answer to this question.

from the death of the mother.

When Tianling came back from the study, he saw his mother covered in blood and being held up by two guards, and his furious father whom he had never seen before.

The man's always cold face twisted into a ferocious beast at that moment, as if it wanted to tear the woman in front of him immediately.

Tianling didn't know where he got the courage to stand in front of his mother, looking up at his father.

But the man just pretended that she didn't exist, holding a sword in one hand and pointing straight at his mother.

"I have loved you for many years, yet you murdered me like this!"

Murder?

Tian Ling turned his head slowly and looked at his mother.

The woman who always looked into the distance melancholy now had a vicious and cruel smile on her face.

"If you destroy my family, I will call you the last child. The only heir is also the blood of our Ji Dynasty. Isn't it fair?"

Ji Chao...

Tianling naturally knew about Ji Dynasty, but she never expected that her mother was actually a member of Ji Dynasty who wholeheartedly wanted to avenge her motherland.

Tianji slowly restrained the anger on his face, looked at his daughter who still couldn't recover, and threw the sword in front of her.

"Kill this traitor."

Tian Ling took two steps back subconsciously, shaking his head, "I can't..."

Wild beasts still know the deep kindness of their mothers, how can people kill their mothers?

At this moment, Tianji seemed not to be angry at all, he looked at Tianling lightly, "I will not have any other heirs, you will be my Dazhong's empress dowager from now on, today I will teach you, an emperor How to choose?"

"Come here," he said coldly, "death to the servants of this palace one by one."

He looked at Tianling again, "Until the Empress Dowager makes her move."

That was the longest night in Tianling's life. The palace where she had been living was filled with endless screams.

They were the little eunuch who accompanied her to and from school, the little girl who embroidered handkerchiefs for her, and the old mother who would leave a bowl of chicken soup for her when she came home late.

Tianling knelt on the ground, bleeding from his forehead, but got only one sentence in exchange.

"If the remnants of the Ji Dynasty are not eradicated, they will die in the hands of the enemy sooner or later. I just put all this in front of you."

"Do you know what to do?"

Do you know what to do?

That day was also the first time Tianling knew that the blood spurted out by the big gush was hot.

The father left satisfied, and the mother's body was dragged away.

Tian Ling wiped off the blood on his face, walked out of the palace, and sat on the steps.

The girl's heart went cold along with her mother's blood.

The moon hangs faintly in the sky, and there are no stars tonight.

What happened later seemed to be a matter of course. If a person could even kill his own mother, there would probably be few things in this world that she couldn't do.

The mother was killed to save the remaining 36 people in the palace, so for the sake of the world, no one cannot be sacrificed.

Tianling later killed many people, some deserved to die, and some didn't deserve to die but had to die.

She no longer thinks about whether she should kill this person or not.

Those bones are piled up like a mountain, how can you tell whether they are good people or bad people?

They are just people who stand in the way of Zhongchao.

On the eve of the day before he was about to kill Luo Xing, Tianling returned to his mother's palace, retreated the servants, sat on the cold steps, and drank a lot of wine.

When she was drunk, she got up and walked out the door in a daze, "... Luo Xing."

But when he stepped out of the threshold, he was tripped and fell heavily on the ground, his head was bleeding.

The pain woke her up, and the nearly 30-year-old woman just sat on the steps, crying until the night fell.

She can't go.

If even people like you deserve to be happy.

How will the souls of those killed by you rest in peace?

Now that you have abandoned your own humanity, don't try to turn back.

You have to carry the dynasty and the lives buried by the dynasty alone, and trek to death.

This is God's punishment for you.

Today's Tianze reminded Tianling of himself.

She should have treated her daughter the way a father had treated her, but she didn't either.

Tao Yao was right, her heart softened.

It's probably because the girl's features look like an old friend.

According to historical records: In December of the 25th year of Yongtai, the emperor was seriously ill and was bedridden.

Tian Ze knelt in front of his mother's bed. This once mighty king was lying on the bed, skinny and dying.

Her face is still not old, but her sanity seems to be unclear.

Tian Ze moved forward a little bit, and grabbed the woman's thin hand, "Mother, my daughter is here."

The woman's cloudy eyes slowly turned to her, and then widened a little as if surprised.

"How did you come?"

The woman raised her hand slightly, as if she wanted to touch her face, but she lowered it due to lack of strength.

Tianze shouted in a panic, "Mother!"

Tianling didn't kill her lover in the end, so she didn't want her mother to die at this time.

These words startled the woman on the bed, her eyes lit up a little, she stared at her for a moment, and finally shook her head.

"You're not her, I'm confused, she never comes to see me."

Only then did Tianze understand that what his mother said was not to himself, but to a person who was very similar to him.

She also remembered the moment when her mother was in a trance when she contradicted her mother for the princess when she was young.

Is it also because of this person?

But my mother never mentioned such a person, why is it so important, but never mentioned it?

At this time, Tianling slightly pulled Tianze's hand again, and Tianze immediately came back to his senses, "Mother, my daughter is here."

Looking into her eyes, Tian Ling seemed to smile slightly, "How do you get along with the Crown Princess?"

This was the first time Tianze saw his mother smile, and she held back tears, "Very well, my daughter likes her very much, and she also likes me."

"That's it..." The woman stopped looking at her, looked at the void above her head, and murmured.

"That's good...you have to be together, don't lie to her, and don't be fooled by her."

The emperor closed his eyes. For a person like her, all she left behind was just this sentence.

According to historical records: On December 25, the [-]th year of Yongtai, Emperor Shen Tianling passed away, and the empress dowager Tianze came to the throne.

After Tianze ascended the throne, he changed his year name to Yongkang. During his reign, the whole world lived and the world was ruled, and he and his mother were called "the rule of Taikang".

The author has something to say: ps: Everyone wants to see Tianling missing the falling stars, but a person like her is too sober, and only goes into a trance for a while when she is sober, so she won't think about it.If Luo Xing wanted to get back his position, he had no choice but to go to the he line to try.

PS: I wrote too much again, I don’t know if I can update it tomorrow, and the comments give me strength.
