Rebirth of Glory and Splendour - Chapter 62

The emperor was seriously ill and could not manage the affairs. The Crown Prince had full power to handle political affairs in the DPRK, and the King of Qin was in charge of border defense.

Wei Zhao was afraid that the situation in Youzhou and Lingzhou, which had just been taken back, would be unstable, so he not only sent three urgent letters to Huo Qingyang, but also asked him to be careful. The court was in an eventful time, and there should be no omissions.

In addition, Wei Zhao also sent Lu Ming to Shuozhou to keep an eye on the movements of the Tiele people. He does not trust Wesley very much. If he is given a chance, the consequences will be unpredictable, so he must be prepared for all changes in advance.

Theoretically, the emperor’s dragon was unwell, and the princes and grandsons should take turns to take care of the illness, just like the one two years ago. However, except for Wei Zhao, Wei Su did not summon other princes at all, let alone make them sick, and he would never see the emperor’s face at all.

Prince Weiming was busy with political affairs and had no time to distract himself. Lu Wang Weixiao has no real job, and his main task every day is to take care of children. He has a lot of free time, but the number of times he sees the emperor is far less than that of his family.

On behalf of Wang Wei, he was a minor and was still studying in the palace school. He and Wei Lan were classmates. The emperor did not call them to serve the disease, so the normal teaching order of the palace school was not affected.

The two little princes, Wei Hao and Wei Yang, were even more young, and they were not old enough to enter the palace to study. They heard that their father was sick, and they were all clamoring to ask for peace. Crying nonstop.

Wei Hao is lively and cheerful, Wei Yang is cool and Xiao Emperor, and Wei Su has always loved the two old men. However, this time, he only summoned them once, and sent someone to tell Yan Li and Zhao Ji to watch the children carefully and not disturb the holy driver.

As a result, Wei Zhao became the target of public criticism, and everyone was speculating that the emperor frequently summoned him and said what he said.

To say that the emperor prefers King Qin to neglect the East Palace, most people admit it, but to say that the emperor has moved the prince’s mind to replace the emperor, but it doesn’t look like it. After all, Wei Su just didn’t see the prince’s face very much, and all matters in the court were handed over to him, and the King of Qin was not allowed to intervene.

Besides, although Wei Su doesn’t care much about the affairs of the court, occasionally his health improves, and he will also summon Sun Shu, Jiang Che, Shangguanxuan and other important officials in the court, and all he says is to ask them to assist the prince. Not to mention the King of Qin.

Apart from Wei Zhao, the one who has the most opportunity to drive is the Hou Junqing of Zhaoyang. Sometimes the emperor would summon the two of them separately, and when the opportunity was right, they would meet together. Wei Su still didn’t like Wei Chongrong, and every time he summoned Wei Zhao, he would not take him with him. But he likes Junhua very much. Whenever Junqing does not bring him to the palace, Wei Su will specifically ask why he didn’t bring Junhua.

In the face of the emperor’s question, Jun Qing calmly explained: “Little monkey likes Rong’er. If he can’t see him in the palace, he naturally doesn’t want to come.” No matter how much the emperor loves him, the environment in the palace is more restrictive. , it is normal for children not to like it.

Wei Su frowned, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face: “Hua’er is going to study soon, why are you still calling him a little monkey, a little monkey, it’s really outrageous.” Another smart and handsome child, with such a nondescript little boy The name will make people feel very wild.

Jun Qing pursed her lips and smiled slightly: “He was originally a little monkey, so he called kindly.”

Wei Su shook his head helplessly and teased: “The one born in the year of the monkey is called the little monkey, what’s the next one called? Little tiger?” Next year happens to be the year of the tiger. Little tiger, it is predictable.

The gentleman was slightly stunned, and his right hand was unconsciously placed on his abdomen, which had not yet been revealed, before he came back to his senses and lowered it again. Although his heart was turbulent, his face was still calm, not letting the emperor see his ups and downs.

Seeing that Junqing didn’t speak for a long time, Wei Su sighed: “That’s all, let’s write a word for Hua’er first, pointing at the two of you, I don’t know if I’ll come up with something weird, it doesn’t have to be a joke. “

What an honor it was for the emperor to give the word, the gentleman said with gratitude, “Your Majesty’s kindness, I thank you on behalf of Hua’er.”

Wei Su waved his hand, and his haggard face after a long illness showed a bit of a smile: “The word Huai means missing, the word Xi means light, and the word Hua’er is Hua’er.” He paused, then asked: “Second boy What’s your last name? Do you have a name?”

At this point, Junqing finally understood that the emperor was not joking with him, but was discussing this issue very seriously. He raised his head, looked straight at the emperor, and murmured for a while, “Your Majesty…”

Wei Su was lying half-lying, leaning on the pillow, took the words of Junqing and said, “You two, hiding and hiding for all these years, the trouble is almost gone. You are not tired, I look tired, don’t hide anymore. , I will give you a marriage, and we will be together in the future. Save Hua’er seeing Xin’er, and calling out King Changning, don’t be embarrassed…” The emperor waited for many years, but he never saw Ji Xin and Junqing come to him, and finally endured it. He couldn’t stop, and he said the words of marriage.

“But…” Junqing didn’t show the surprised expression Wei Su had expected, but hesitantly said: “If I become the Princess of Changning, then the Marquis of Zhaoyang…” Junqing is not someone who cares about status, but the title of Marquis of Zhaoyang. It was the only thing his father left him, and he had to keep it.

Wei Su heard the words and said with a chuckle, “Silly child, could it be that you are not the Marquis of Zhaoyang when you become Princess Changning?”

For a long time, there is no precedent for the eldest son to marry in any family that has inherited the title. But this does not mean that the person who has inherited the title will lose the title by marrying someone else. It’s just that this has never happened before.

Junqing was stunned, only to feel that his head was cluttered, and there was a feeling that he couldn’t turn around. On this day, the impact on him was too great. The emperor knew what happened between him and Ji Xin, and he even gave him a marriage and a name for their son. It was a surprise.

Seeing Junqing’s silence for a long time, Wei Su said to himself, “I know from the way you look, you must have never thought about it, and I don’t expect you anymore, so I simply took the name of the second kid. Well, save you from cramming again temporarily.”

Jun Qing finally reacted, and said, “What if I’m a girl?”

Wei Supu laughed, and then said, “Just call Ji Hui, whether it’s the second kid or the second girl, it can be used.”

The gentleman thanked him again, and his mood was ups and downs. The emperor was so strange today, so strange that he didn’t look like him.

Wei Su’s words counted, and within a few days, he made the will of marriage. It’s just that the two parties who gave the marriage are really surprising, they are the Prince of Changning and the Marquis of Zhaoyang. When many people hear this news, their first reaction is whether they heard it wrong, this cannot be true.

The emperor specifically stated in the imperial edict that although the Marquis of Zhaoyang was married into the Changning Palace, his title was retained and could be passed on to the prince in the future.

Wei Chongrong heard Wei Zhao talk about this marriage. His first thought at the time was that the emperor’s physical condition was already very bad, so he was anxious to arrange everything. And Junqing can almost be regarded as the purest child he loves.

Under normal circumstances, the procedures for a marriage at the level of a prince or a king are very cumbersome. From the time of the marriage to the day of the big wedding, there are many people who have dragged on for two or three years. However, Junqing and Ji Xin were in special circumstances, and the emperor asked the Shaofu to complete their marriage within the year.

Compared with other people’s surprise or sadness, Junhua is undoubtedly the most excited. He first told Wei Chongrong happily that he was going to be an elder brother, and later told him excitedly that his father was going to marry his father. Their whole family can live together from now on.

The wedding of the Prince of Changning and the Marquis of Zhaoyang was presided over by the prince himself, and its standard was only inferior to that of the prince’s grand wedding. Regrettably, under the shadow of the emperor’s serious illness, the originally festive marriage also revealed a vaguely sad atmosphere.

Wei Zhao basically didn’t return to the palace. He took Wei Chongrong to live in Yongfu Palace, which was closer to Zichen Palace than the prince’s family who lived in the East Palace. No matter which life, Wei Chongrong and Wei Su’s relationship could not be said to be close. He did not feel the sadness and reluctance from the heart of his father and uncle for the imminent death of his grandfather. His sadness was more because of Wei Zhao’s sadness.

Every time he came back from Zichen Palace, Wei Zhao’s mood would become very low. Wei Chongrong tried to comfort him, but he gave up when he found that it was of little use. Indeed, the language of comfort was the palest at this time, and the only thing he could do was stay by Wei Zhao’s side.

One day, when Wei Chongrong returned to the palace after class, he was stunned to see Wei Zhao playing the piano. He never knew that Wei Zhao had such a skill, and he had never seen him show it before. With curiosity, Wei Chongrong stopped at the door of the study.

A quarter of an hour later, the Prince of Qin said that he regretted it. Because Wei Zhao’s piano skills are really bad at breaking the lower limit, as a son of man, he can’t say a good word with his conscience. Leaving without turning his head on the spot was already the biggest encouragement he gave Wei Zhao.

But it was such an out-of-tune tune, Wei Chongrong listened to it for a while, but he was stunned to hear a little sadness. In order not to touch Wei Zhao’s pain point, Wei Chongrong never asked him about this piece, and Wei Zhao never played this piece again.

When the new year came, the emperor’s condition had reached the point where it was difficult to get over. The New Year’s Eve banquet was canceled, and the princes did all the sacrifices to ancestors and heaven. Sun Ye told Wei Zhao privately that the emperor was just suffering, and it was hard to say whether the first month would pass.

In the first month, Wei Su was no longer the only one who saw Wei Zhao and his gentleness. He summoned all his children in the capital, from childhood to adulthood, one by one. The person the emperor saw at the last sober moment was the crown prince. He explained to Wei Ming a lot of things, first state affairs, then family affairs.

Wei Su said that he spent his whole life fighting endlessly and exhausting his national strength, but he recovered all the lost land in the northern border and opened up Lingzhou, which finally lived up to the will of Emperor Taizu. Right now, the border has been set, and the national treasury is empty. After Wei Ming ascended the throne, stability should be the main priority, and the loss of land in the southern border should be ignored for the time being, and the peace of mind to secure Youzhou and Lingzhou is infinite merit.

Wei Ming, with tears in his eyes, responded one by one. In fact, even if Wei Su didn’t say it, he would do the same. For many matters in the harem, Wei Su explained it very simply. He believed that with Wei Ming’s mind and spirit, he would take good care of his younger brothers.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the fifty-second year of Yongjia, Wei Su, the tenth emperor of the Dayan Dynasty, died at the age of sixty-eight.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Daxing’s edict announced to the world to stop Ling Yuanyi Hall.

On the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, Prince Wei Ming became emperor, and the following year was the first year of Tai’an.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, the new emperor gave the Daxing emperor the posthumous title “Chun”, and the temple name was Xingzu, not the Zhongzong that Wei Chongrong remembered.

In ancient times, the ancestors had meritorious deeds and their ancestors were virtuous. For those who were called ancestors, their temples were not destroyed. In the previous life, Wei Su did not take back Youzhou until his death. Compared with the previous emperors, his achievements were no better than others. Therefore, he could not be called “ancestor”, but only “zong”. In this life, Wei Zhao took back Youzhou and opened up Lingzhou, and Wei Su had the achievement of pioneering territory. It is only logical to honor him as his “ancestor”.

The author has something to say:

The emperor’s grandfather is offline, the prince’s uncle is online, and Xiaogong Xiaoshou will be old enough to fall in love…

However, due to the needs of the plot development, I want to insert two chapters, about the old emperor, Ji Qing, and King’s Landing…
