Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 105
Jiafu hasn’t seen her son’s face for three days, and she is also under house arrest, unable to get out of the banana garden. Although some palace officials bring her the news of her kindness every day, saying that he and Long live live and eat together, and everything is well. , But Gaffer was still very anxious, not worried about her son’s safety, but she didn’t know what the emperor’s intention was.
Finally, on the eve of the 26th Wanshou Day, Li Yuangui came in person, saying that it was the emperor’s message. Tomorrow, the emperor will bring Ci’er up to the Wumen Tower together and appear at the Prison Offering Ceremony. Send your child back to the banana garden, so Jiafu doesn’t have to worry about it.
Gaffer was horrified and stunned on the spot.
After Li Yuangui passed the word, he retired.
Gaffer stared at his fading figure, desperately chased him, and stopped him: “Grandpa Li, I want to see long live!”
Li Yuangui bowed and said, “Madame, wait a minute, and the maidservant will go and pass a message to the wife.”
In the Imperial Study Room, Ci’er was sitting on a special high chair, Xiao Lie stood behind him, bent over, holding Ci’er’s hand, and slowly wrote ” I have read it, and I have read it. “I have read the five cinnabar characters. Then I put down my pen, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: “This is the memorial for reviewing. If you agree, I will reply to the minister in this way. Send back the six sections and remake the orders. Does Ci’er understand?”
Ci’er seemed to understand, and nodded.
“Ci’er is sleepy?”
Ci’er rubbed her eyes: “Grandpa Emperor, I miss my mother, and I want to go back to my mother.”
Xiao Lierou said, “Cier will spend another night at Grandpa Emperor’s place tonight. When the gift of prisoner is finished tomorrow, Grandpa Emperor will send you back to your mother, okay?”
Ci’er hesitated, and finally nodded.
Xiao Lie took Ci’er and was about to take him back to the bedroom by himself. Li Yuangui entered and whispered a word in his ear. The emperor summoned Cui Yinshui. Cui Yinshui hurried forward, hugged Ci’er, and coaxed out in a low voice.
Gaffer entered, and Xiao Lie sat behind the case, writing memorials, and fate.
Jiafu knelt down and couldn’t afford it: “Long live, just now Li Gonggong preached that Long live will bring Ci’er with him to present the prisoner’s gift tomorrow morning, but is it true?”
“Naturally. Ci’er is already asleep at the moment. After the ceremony tomorrow, I will send him back to the Jiaoyuan. You don’t have to worry.”
“Long live! Never do this! Ci’er can’t afford to be so kind to Long live!”
Xiao Lie raised his head, glanced at Jiafu, and slowly put down his pen.
The atmosphere in the imperial library sank.
Gaffer’s two eyes cast by Xiao Lie did not evade in the slightest: “Long live this time to connect Ci’er into Beijing. It’s important, Ci’er is young and knows nothing. As a mother, the minister’s wife has to speak up, please long live to take her life back, and Rong’s wife will bring Ci’er back!”
Xiao Lie stared at Jia Fu and was silent for a moment.
“Chen, I expected you to know what happened back then. I tell you the truth, Ci’er is the prince of my great Wei. This matter is not only my early decision, but also God’s will.”
Gaffer’s heart beats wildly: “Long live the wrong love, which is the great blessing of Ci’er. However, Ci’er has a bad name and dissatisfaction, how to become the great prince Wei? Long live think twice!”
Xiao Lie said, “You don’t need to worry about these. I have my own decision.”
Jiafu reluctantly settled his mind and looked at Xiao Lie: “The minister woman spoke lightly, but dared to say one more thing. This matter is very important, and Ci’er’s father will know it sooner or later, and I am afraid that he will not dare to accept it!”
What she said was like a question and an implicit reminder. Although short, it was extremely offensive.
Xiao Lie’s expression was faint: “I’ll be waiting for him to come.” After finishing talking, he picked up the writing brush again, took the memorial again, opened it, lowered his head, and said: “Retreat.”
How does Jiafu agree to withdraw?
Xiao Lie wanted to pass on the throne to his son and let Ci’er be the emperor. Even if others saw it as an indescribable blessing, as long as her husband didn’t want it, she would not give in.
And the husband is definitely not willing. No one knew this better than her.
“Long live! Father Ci’er went to defend the border for the sake of Wei. Before leaving, he entrusted the child to me. If it is anything other than ordinary things, the courtiers will never dare to disobey Long live. But this matter is really relevant. Important! The ministers dare not refrain from fighting! I beg Long live, tomorrow’s matter, in any case, wait for the arrival of Ci’er’s father before making a decision!”
She bowed to Xiao Lie who was sitting on her.
Xiao Lie was surprised, as if he had known her for the first time. He stared at Jia Fu for a moment, but he was not angry. He frowned, dropped the cinnabar pen, and stood up: “No, you don’t go. , I’m leaving now.” After saying that, behind his hands, he went out.
Gaffer was upset.
She finally understood the emperor’s intentions.
Bring Ci’er to the capital first, and wait for tomorrow’s great gift of prisoners, as if he had announced his status as a crown prince to the people of the world. After that, even if Pei Youan came back, it was a foregone conclusion, and it was hard to get over.
Gaffer gritted her teeth, and instantly, without knowing where the courage came from, got up from the ground, before arriving at the royal case, grabbed a sharp cutter on the pen holder and aimed it at her neck.
“The minister’s wife has only one request. Long live has this plan, and we must first let my husband know about it! Otherwise, the minister’s wife will decide on this!”
Xiao Lie suddenly turned his head and stared at Jiafu, his face gradually showing anger: “Bold! Don’t let it go!”
“It is not a pity for the minister’s wife to die, but if the minister’s wife dies, from now on Long live, there will be no more son Pei Youan, and no grandson Pei Yiyuan! The words of the minister’s wife are not intimidation! Please make your own decision. !”
Li Yuangui heard the sound and rushed in from the outside, pale in shock: “Madam, don’t be impulsive, put down the knife!”
Gafess was not afraid, and when her wrist was slightly closed, the tip of the knife plunged into the delicate skin, and a bloodstain appeared immediately.
Xiao Lie was full of anger, staring at Jiafu, slowly raised his hand, and pointed at Jiafu: “You…you…” His voice trembled, and he couldn’t speak for a while, only seeing his face getting greener. It was getting more and more green, and suddenly, when his body was tilted, the person leaned back and fell to the ground with a grunt.
“Long live!”
Li Yuangui yelled and threw himself up. Seeing the emperor’s eyes closed tightly, he was frightened and frightened. He shouted: “Teacher—”
Gaffer was also stunned by this sudden scene.
She only wanted to prevent the emperor from taking her son to the Meridian Gate tomorrow. She had no choice but to use this stupidest and perhaps the only effective way, but she didn’t expect that the situation would take a turn for the worse, and Xiao Lie would be **** off by herself. I fainted. Upon seeing this, I hurriedly put down the cutting knife in his hand and rushed to the front. Seeing that the emperor was pale and unconscious and scared, he hurriedly helped Li Yuangui and the **** who rushed in to carry the emperor. Delivered to that couch.
Soon, the nocturnal doctor Hu rushed over and was shocked when he saw this. He hurriedly administer acupuncture and moxibustion. After a long time of tossing, he heard the emperor’s throat cracked twice and spit out a few mouthfuls of dirty blood. Slowly, he finally opened his mouth. He opened his eyes, but his eyes were bleak, and he looked at the top, his expression extremely dispirited.
“Hurrah! Hurrah! What’s wrong with you?”
Li Yuangui kept calling in a low voice, and fed water to the emperor’s mouth, but the water flowed down the corner of his mouth.
“Long live-“
Li Yuangui’s tears fell.
Jiafu was in a very complicated mood, slowly kneeling on the ground, watching the imperial physician and the imperial palace people run in and out, for a long time, by the third watch, although the emperor still looked like golden paper, the situation seemed to have finally stabilized, and the imperial physician stepped out first. , Li Yuangui ordered the palace staff to also retreat and stood by the door.
The emperor lay on the couch, slowly opened his eyes, lost consciousness for a moment, and said in a low voice: “You get up and go back and rest. You understand your heart, you are protecting him, and I will not blame you—”
“I still said that, my heart is determined-when Youan comes, I will tell him clearly -“
After Xiao Lie finished speaking, he seemed to be very tired, closed his eyes, and made no sound.
“Madam, please go back.”
Li Yuangui came and said softly.
Tears slowly came to Gaffer’s eyes, and she didn’t know why she was crying and why she was so sad.
Perhaps it was because of Xiao Lie’s phrase “You understand Youan’s heart, and you are protecting him, I won’t blame you”.
Perhaps it was because of his incompetence, working hard, and in the end, he was still unable to help Pei Youan.
She got up from the ground and walked over slowly.
…
The next day, in the sixth year of Zhaoping, on March 26, the Emperor Wei met the fifty thousand years of life. The imperial court amnesty the world, except for the ten evils of treason, great rebellion, evil rebellion, injustice, and great disrespect, as well as deliberate murder and imprisonment. In addition, the rest of the prisoners were pardoned and released from prison, and the world is grateful. In the capital city, on this day, the people are even more happy. Those with new clothes wear new clothes, and those without new clothes put on clean clothes after starch washing. Every family burns incense, worships, and prays for the emperor’s longevity. On both sides of the main street leading from the south gate to the palace in the capital, it was crowded with people and everyone was eagerly waiting to watch the prison car line escorting the Japanese prisoners and slaves pass by.
On that day, the sun was shining brightly, and the sun gradually rose, shining on the magnificent tower of the Meridian Gate of the imperial palace, and on the roof of the palace with double-edged yellow tiles, the golden light was dazzling.
More than 1,500 Jinyi Dahan generals are lined up on the squares on both sides of the Meridian Gate Tower. The ranks stretch for hundreds of feet. The Dahan generals are all brave and upright, all dressed in bright armor, with sabers on their waists, holding long battles, and the sun is shining. Above Ming Jia, shining brightly. The court ministers, descending from the sixth department of the Jiuqing to the fourth rank and above, there are more than 500 people, according to the order of the civil and military squad, wearing court clothes, wearing a winged crown, holding Yugui in their hands, standing solemnly, waiting for the emperor to appear on the tower.
At midnight, the sound of bells and drums were heard from the pavilions on the left and right of the middle gate of Wumen. The two sounds were in harmony, and a long and condensed dragon was carried to the north of Wumen under the guard of honor guards. Before the door.
Long Yin stopped, and the emperor’s figure finally appeared on the trail leading to the Meridian Gate Tower.
The emperor wore a twelve-chapter emperor’s crown on his head, wearing a twelve-chapter imperial dress of the sun and the moon, the star mountain, the fire weaving, and the Chinese insect, and walked towards the tower step by step.
His complexion was gray, with bloodshot eyes under his eyes. The moment he had just left, his footsteps swayed slightly, as if his feet were a little unsteady, his forehead swayed twelve times, and he was fortunately held by Li Yuangui beside him.
“Grandpa Emperor, what’s the matter with you?”
Early in the morning, Ci’er also noticed the emperor’s abnormality. At this moment, she was a little uneasy and asked softly.
“Grandpa Emperor is okay.”
Xiao Lie smiled at him, pushed away Li Yuangui, who was supporting him, and hugged him from the sun, gently laying on the ground.
Ci’er raised her head and looked at the majestic tower in front of her. At a young age, she seemed to feel an extraordinary urgency. He hesitated and whispered: “Grandpa, can I really go up? ?”
Xiao Lie reached out to him: “Don’t be afraid, come with Grandpa Emperor.”
Ci’er was held by Xiao Lie and came to the bottom of the tower, step by step up the steps, and finally, one large and one small, two figures appeared in front of the pre-set throne of the tower at the same time.
One big and one small, two seats. At first, because of the height, the Baiguans downstairs did not pay attention. Until they vaguely saw the figure of the emperor and the child beside him at the same time, the Baiguans were aware of them. Look up, look hard, want to see clearly.
The emperor took Ci’er into the throne, and a promulgator standing by the gate of the castle tower declared aloud the order. The order was passed down by the two guards around him. The order was passed four times and eight passes, and they were passed down quickly in sequence. , More than 500 court officials and more than a thousand Han generals faced north, kneeling towards the emperor on the tower, accompanied by the sound of gold and iron when Ming Jia and swords collided, Shan Hu Long live, deafening.
Ci’er sat on the small seat, her small hands gripping the armrests on both sides of the seat tightly, her eyes unblinking.
A team of men and horses gradually entered from Chengtian Gate. Before arriving at Duanmen, they gave an order, a burly, bearded, and dignified man in battle armor, leading a thousand majestic sergeants behind him through Duanmen. Before arriving at the magnificent Meridian Square, he screamed towards the tower far above where only the fuzzy silhouettes can be seen: “The chief soldier Dong Chengzhu of the deceased is enacted to suppress the Japanese pirates in the southeast, and there is the emperor’s heaven. Thanks to the mighty kind, the army and civilians along the coast have the same enemy. It lasted for three years, and finally fulfilled the mission and eliminated the Japanese troubles. Today, 223 Japanese heads of large and small are presented.
After finishing the report, he led the soldiers behind him to get up and separated on the two sides. He saw hundreds of widow slaves escorted behind him, all with shackles on their necks and handcuffs, walking to the middle of the square, accompanied by the vigorous and vigorous surroundings and the “killing” that rushed into the sky. With the roar of “killing” and “killing”, these daring Japanese warriors, who were all faceless at the moment, fell softly to the ground.
The Criminal Department Shangshu held the imperial decree sent down from the tower, and walked quickly to the center of the square a stone’s throw away from the city wall, and read the guilt aloud. After the reading, he turned around and waited for the emperor’s order on the tower in the distance.
Xiao Lie slowly stood up and hugged Ci’er. Before walking to the tower, under the gaze of countless pairs of surprised eyes under the tower, he turned his face and said to Ci’er, “Issued.”
Ci’er’s small hands were tightly squeezed into fists, raised up with a tender voice, and said loudly, “Righteousness!”
This sound of “rectification” was again jointly passed on by the guards around him, and finally reached the middle of the square. 1,500 Han generals shouted “rectification” in unison. The widows were dragged out of the end gate by the executioner and came to Chengcheng. Outside the Tianmen, where a torture platform has been set up in advance, under the gaze of the countless people crowded around, the ghosts and swords fell in unison.
“Long live my emperor, long live, long live—”
The sound of overwhelming mountains reverberated in front of the Meridian Gate Tower again, and the pigeon whistles, the white doves raised near Chengtian Gate, flapped their wings and flew into the sky.
Following the hundreds of civil and military officials beside him, Dong Chengzhu knelt in the direction of the emperor in the distance, kowtowing, and when he raised his head, an unspeakable complex emotion passed in his eyes.
Pei Youan was in the dust, and when he rode his horse like a wind to the Chengtian Gate, the outermost gate of the palace, what he heard in his ears was the sound of the overwhelming mountain calls from the city gate.
He stopped his horse and looked up at the black figure of the pigeons circling above the **** in the distance, amidst the reverberating sound of the mountain call Long live, his figure was frozen and motionless.
