The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

After the two left, the people from Taichang Temple went to condense the body of Emperor Anqing and prepared for the funeral. +++Cartino novel website www.wuxiaspot.com The emperor's funeral needs to ring nine bells to announce. Soon after they left, they heard the dull bell ringing through the deep palace, Xiao Zhige did not look back, leading An Changqing to the Queen's Palace slowly.

They didn't use a car to drive, they just walked through the corridors of many palaces so unhurriedly, to the Queen's Palace.

The sound of the clock has ceased, and Mrs. Zhao is sitting on the hall, trying his best to maintain the only decentness. The queen sat at her arm, her face (color) haggard, and her eyes were swollen. In the grand palace, there are now only these two noble masters and two old mothers who are close to serving them.

When Xiao Zhige and two arrived, the soldiers guarding the door saluted neatly. The voice reached the inner hall, and the wrinkles on Queen Mother Zhao's face became more serious.

She looked at the husband and wife walking side by side with a moment of regret. Just here two years ago, the two of them had to kneel down and salute her respectfully, carefully trying to figure out her thoughts. Two years later, Shi Yi Shiyi changed the status of the two parties. Instead, she had to be controlled by others, and she even had to work hard to find a way out for herself. At the beginning, she would never have thought that years of business planning, but in the end let this pair of inconspicuous husbands pick the fruit.

When the first emperor was there, she was the empress of the central palace and gave birth to children for the first emperor. No concubine could pass her. Later, Emperor Anqing ascended the throne. Although mediocre and incompetent, it was easier to control. The power of the Zhao family is overwhelming, and she is even more calling for rain in the harem. For decades, she has been the empress dowager who has gone smoothly for decades. But I didn't expect to become someone else's fish (flesh rou), and even his life and death would be controlled by others.

"You are here."

The Queen Mother Zhao raised her eyelids and tried her best to maintain her dignity and dignity even at this moment. The Emperor Anqing was already in trouble, and the court was in chaos. She felt that Xiao Zhige could still use her and the Zhao family, so she was unwilling to behave too humbly. Instead, her words and deeds brought out some of the loftiness that belonged to the elders.

Xiao Zhige raised his eyes and looked at her. Empress Dowager Zhao's expression was the same as before, sitting high above her with the bodhi beads in her hands, like a Bodhisattva overlooking all living beings without sorrow or joy. When Xiao Zhige was young, every time he saw her, he was always worried. However, looking again after many years, she felt that there was no mercy between her brows, and some were just full of calculations and meanness.

Even in such a situation, she still has the only remaining chips to calculate. It's a pity that the dealer in this round was replaced by Xiao Zhige, and Xiao Zhige did not intend to continue this round.

He did not answer the words of the Empress Dowager Zhao, nor did he salute them, but calmly informed them: "The father died at the hands of Xiao Qiyan, and Taichang Temple is already preparing for the funeral. The empress and empress should also have a place to go."

This "going place" is self-evident where to go.

Empress Dowager Zhao's eyelids trembled, she clenched the Buddha beads subconsciously, and tried her best to keep calm and said: "You forced the emperor to death, and now you are about to force the Aijia and the queen to death? Your succession to the throne is not justified. Don’t you be afraid of being criticized by the world?"

"The empress dowager's words are bad." Xiao Zhige said flatly: "It is Xiao Qi'an who forced the palace to kill the father, what do you (gan)? High, sorrowing and passing away...How can the world criticize me?"

"Father and three sons, I am the only one left. It is justifiable to inherit Datong. Who dares to object?"

Every time he said a word, Queen Mother Zhao’s face (color) turned white. When he finished speaking, she was already sitting on the couch with a pale face (color), and muttered: "You are much more ruthless than your father. Now, what do you want to do with the Zhao family? The Zhao family’s students are all over the courts and places. If you rush to (kill sha), you will not be afraid of the cold of the court, and no one can use it?"

"The Zhao family colluded with the waste prince to seek rebellion, to force the palace to kill the king, according to the law... to be the Jiu clan. As for the Zhao clan members, but a group of moths who formed a party for private purposes, they still occupy a position. It is a pity to die. I have to deal with it. Fa, don’t worry about the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother was speechless by him, and all the talks he had prepared before were no longer useful. In all fairness, if the Queen Mother was in his position, she would certainly do the same. If Xiao Zhige were not for her enemy at this time, she would almost give a good applause. For the emperor, he is cruel and cruel, cutting grass and roots, nothing more than that.

The Bodhi beads in his hand fell to the ground, and there was a muffled sound. The queen of Zhao was depressed and closed her eyes and said in a low voice: "Successful and defeated, this may be the fate of the mourning family..." She already admitted her fate.

The queen beside her was not so quick and unwilling to admit her fate. Listening to Xiao Zhige's few words, she decided her life and death, and screamed: "I am the queen of the palace, the queen dowager in the future, you can't (kill sha) me!"

Xiao Zhige's trip was only to inform them that he didn't care about the queen's resistance, and he even didn't even look at him. After finishing what should be said, he took An Changqing and turned away. Upon seeing this, the queen wanted to rush to stop, but was blocked by the incoming soldiers.

The soldier was still holding two white silks in his hands, and the voice of the queen in the inner hall went from hysterical to calm, and it only took less than a moment.

——Following Emperor Anqing, the empress and the queen mother also died.

At the moment when the old and new regimes changed, there was silence on the palace road, occasionally patrolling soldiers passed by, and even the footsteps seemed to be deliberately softened.

An Changqing looked sideways to see Xiao Zhige, and whispered, "Are you going to see in the palace of the mother and concubine?"

In the previous life, An Changqing lived in the Xiwu Palace for a long time. There are not only the memories of the lives of Xiao Zhige and Libi, but also memories that belong to him alone. Now that the enemies in front of him have been cut off, it's time to take a look.

"it is good."

So the two turned to Qiwu Palace again. The location of Qiwu Palace is remote, and it used to be no different from Lenggong. After Li's death, it was abandoned for a long time. Weeds grow in front of the palace gate, and there are even spider webs hanging on the door door. Emperor Anqing always regarded this place as bad, and even the housekeepers who cleaned it were stingy.

Xiao Zhige stepped forward and pushed open the closed palace gate, and only when the dust was gone, he called An Changqing in. The light in the palace is dim. Fortunately, the sky (color) is bright at this time, and after the door is opened, you can see the inside clearly.

After Li Yan passed away, because it was unlucky to abandon the dead, she might collide with the empress dowager and the emperor. All of the utensils in Qiwu Palace that could be burned were burned down, leaving almost nothing left. Now the palace, which is not a big one, was empty, and it turned out to be a little empty.

Xiao Zhige swept across the ruined palace with a little nostalgia. He pointed to a window on the right side of the main hall and said: "The former mother and concubine used to sit here to sew clothes for me. Look at the short curtains in the hall. , I was torn off by my mother and concubine and made me warm clothes."

The suffering of childhood, after years of review, filtered out the bitterness and astringency, only the memory and warmth of the loved ones are left.

An Changqing looked in the direction of his fingers, saw the familiar window, suddenly smiled and bends her eyes, softly echoed: "The light is good here, and the window is open, and you can see the small garden in front of you. Scenery (color) It’s not bad. If you change to me, you will also like it here."

When An Changqing lived in Qiwu Palace in the previous life, Qiwu Palace had already been renovated. At that time, he was at odds with Xiao Zhige, and he didn't want to get involved in the previous struggle, and took the initiative to avoid him. He stayed behind closed doors in the Qiwu Palace all day long. When he was free, he liked to turn a book and make tea under that window.

Xiao Zhige was puzzled by the meaning of his words, and led him into the inner hall. There was only a carved wooden bed left in the inner hall, and the only two curtains left beside the bed were covered with ashes.

"Before I was six years old, I slept here with my concubine. At that time, there were not many people in Qiwu Palace, and there were few cases of lighting candles. At night, the huge palace was dark and there were shadows of lanterns. I I was scared in my heart, so I kept pestering my concubine and refused to go to the side hall to sleep."

He said and smiled very lightly: "But when I turned six years old, no matter how much I harassed, the mother and concubine insisted that I sleep in the side hall alone."

An Changqing tried hard to imagine, but she couldn't imagine what Xiao Zhige would look like when her mother concubine coquettishly refused to go to the side hall to sleep alone.

The two held hands and walked around the dilapidated and empty palace. Xiao Zhige occasionally recalled some past events, warm or bitter, and told An Changqing without shy. When the two of them came out, it was already evening.

The sunset is like a fire, reflecting half of the sky in red. In the afterglow of the setting sun, this forgotten palace is even more lonely. In this faint and deep palace, there are thousands of palaces, probably only this place hides the joys, angers, sorrows and joys of Xiao Zhige's childhood.

An Changqing said, "It's better to find a craftsman to repair it again. We can live here in the future. Plant flowers and plants in the small garden in front, and then move the swing you made..."

In fact, the location of Qiwu Palace is remote, and it is not suitable as a living palace. But Changqing An feels that in the future, this big and deep palace will live with their family of four, and it will be okay to have some sex.

Xiao Zhige obviously agreed with his idea, and responded in a low voice.

***

Emperor Anqing stopped the court for seven days.

Emperor Anqing has been in power for more than 20 years, faint and incompetent, desolate and innocent, and has had no success. Taichang Temple gave up a lot of thoughts when drawing up the posthumous title for it, and only reluctantly picked out a few suitable ones, but when they presented them to Xiao Zhige for selection, they were all rejected.

In the end, Xiao Zhige himself was named "Yang" for his posthumous posthumous title.

Poor sentimental and oligarchs are called "Yang", they are called "Yang" by treating the people against God's will, and they are also called "Yang" for being lazy and lazy.

Yang, faint monarch also.

When Taichang Siqing saw Xiao Zhige's posthumous name, he wiped a cold sweat, but he had no guts to persuade him, so he could only grit his teeth.

Because of Xiao Qi'an's conspiracy to force the palace, Yejing was in depression, and the previous dynasties were unavoidably involved. When things are urgent and right, Emperor Yang always keeps the funeral specifications simple and not extravagant. As the only remaining prince of Emperor Yang, Xiao Zhige personally helped the spirit after seven days, and sent the coffin of Emperor Yang to the built tomb for burial. Although Empress Zhao was sacrificed for the first emperor, she was implicated in the Zhao family's rebellion, abolished her position as empress, took the title, and was not buried in the imperial tomb.

After being so busy for half a month, everything related to Emperor Yang ceased as he was buried in the imperial tomb, and then it was the beginning of the new emperor.

The King of the Northern Warfare made great achievements, captured the rebels, quelled the rebellion, and was the heart of the people. After the Taichang Temple sacrificed to the ancestors of heaven and earth, he succeeded in succession.

On the ninth day of September, on Chongyang, the Northern Warlord worshipped the Zen at Mount Tai.

On September 15th, Taichang Temple issued an edict to the first emperor. The King of the Northern War held the enthronement ceremony in Chongzheng Hall. The new emperor ascended the throne, changed the country's name to Changshun, and amnesty the world.

After the enthronement ceremony, the Chaohui will be reopened. With the honor of the new emperor, Xiao Zhige, wearing the crown of the emperor, and wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, sat on the dragon seat amidst the high-pitched singing and shouting of the chief eunuch, and was worshipped by hundreds of officials.

After that, he began to deal drastically with the affairs of North Korea and China, and the Zhao family and his party members were the first to bear the brunt.

In the management of the two dynasties, the Zhao family had deep roots in the dynasty, and the partisan students spread all over the dynasty and the place, which can be said to have affected the whole body. At the beginning, the Queen Mother Zhao wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to make a living for herself, but Xiao Zhige didn't keep any hands on it.

Zhao Jiazhu punishes the nine tribes, the males are all killed, and the female relatives are regarded as official slaves. After the other members of the Zhao clan were verified by the Dali Temple, they were dismissed and sent into exile without mercy.

In just a few days, the number of officials in the court was reduced by a fraction, and the remaining officials were all at risk.

In those few days, the Zhao family's blood stained the blue bricks of the Meridian Gate.

Many officials also felt that Xiao Zhige's methods were too cruel and were not the work of a benevolent emperor. It's just that his wrists are too fierce and fierce, so no one dared to speak up against him for a while. The heroes who had the courage to oppose all unified their attitudes and remained silent on the matter.

On the dragon seat, Xiao Zhige looked indifferent, the emperor's crown covered his eyebrows, but he became more and more majestic. Condescendingly, he had a full view of the ministers in the hall, but he did not intend to be a benevolent monarch according to their requirements.

After ten years of battle on the battlefield, he learned how to fight (kill sha) the enemy. On the battlefield, being kind to the enemy is a big taboo for military strategists.

The author has something to say:

Counsel: I am enthroned! It's time to be the queen.
