Chapter 238 I don’t want to mention it

At this time, in the Shoukang Palace of the imperial palace.

This is the palace where the Empress Dowager Zhou lived. All the emperors of the Ming Dynasty seemed to believe in Taoism, especially the Jiajing Emperor. The Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen also had a strong preference for Taoism.

There were hundreds of Taoists raised in the palace, and large memorial halls were set up at every turn, making the palace look like a Taoist den.

He also preferred to open a furnace to make elixirs, and would take two pills when he had nothing to do. Later, he died at the age of forty.

So much so that the old lady always felt that this Taoist school was a liar. If taking elixirs could really prolong life, how could her son die in the prime of life?

Bao Buqi's son's early death may have something to do with taking the pill.

Therefore, she did not believe in Buddhism, so she believed in Buddhism.

It's just that she doesn't keep dozens or hundreds of monks in the palace. She just sets up a Buddhist hall in the Shoukang Palace. She usually chants sutras and chants Buddha's name. When she encounters something that she can't understand clearly, she will call a certain master.

Go into the palace and explain it to her.

There were curls of green smoke burning everywhere in the palace, as if we were actually in a temple somewhere.

It's just that it's not as noisy as an ordinary temple, but it's very clean. This man is old and loves purity.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was sitting on the main seat, wearing a plain robe, and her hands were constantly caressing Zhao Yuerong's face. Now her eyes were dim and she couldn't recognize people, so she could only rely on touch.

After touching for a while, I couldn't figure it out, so I opened my cloudy eyes and looked at it hard. It seemed to be familiar, but I couldn't see clearly.

"It will be good when you come back, it will be good when you come back"

With this little sense of familiarity, not to mention her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, the old lady also concluded that this was her great-granddaughter. She rubbed this little face with her hand.

"Others don't believe it, but the Aijia believe it. I remember that there is a record in the scriptures, saying that a man was reborn in bliss and met Skanda Bodhisattva on the way.

The Bodhisattva said that your merits in this life were not complete and you still had unfinished business, so you let him come back to life again. It must be that Xiurong also met some Bodhisattva, and he was resurrected."

Empress Zhang didn't believe in this kind of Buddha or Bodhisattva, but she still nodded with a smile, "What the Imperial Grandmother said is that according to my grandson's wife's opinion, Xiurong must have died in the past. The Imperial Grandmother recited sutras to Xiurong day and night.

, a heart of piety went up to the nine heavens, which led to a Bodhisattva to appear holy, and Xiu Rong came to life again."

"Instead of going straight to the Nine Heavens, it should go straight to the Western Heaven. The people who live in this Western Heaven are the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas."

The old lady corrected her, and then continued: "Besides, how can Aijia chanting sutras be so effective? It can go straight to the west. Xiurong must be a blessed person."

"That's what the Imperial Grandmother said."

While he was talking, a eunuch rolled in from outside the palace gate. As soon as he entered the palace, he knelt down and kowtowed, "Queen, please go and see the emperor."

Hearing this trembling voice, Queen Zhang's expression immediately changed, "What happened?"

"Your Majesty, he is furious"

When the eunuch said this, he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only kowtow and said: "My queen, please go and have a look."

Emperor Hongzhi burst out with unprecedented anger today, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling. Even though he has calmed down now, he is still sitting on his chair numbly, and his whole person exudes an uncontrollable evil spirit.

All the palace officials did not dare to approach and wanted to help pick up the memorial. However, they were frightened by the sound of "Get away" and had to go and ask the Queen.

Even Xiao Jing, the personal eunuch, was kicked out. He didn't understand what happened to Emperor Hongzhi, so he had to kneel at the door of the palace, pick some good things to tell the emperor, leaned over and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please go to Qintian."

After questioning by the supervisor, the people over there said that the sky has not changed, so I guess it is not a matter of the earth collapsing."

Zhu Youtang still ignored him and sat alone in the hall without knowing what he was thinking.

When Queen Zhang and her daughter hurriedly returned to Kunning Palace, they saw a group of eunuchs and maids, led by Xiao Jing, kneeling at the door of the side hall.

After seeing her, the Queen, she seemed to have a backbone, and kowtowed quickly, "I have met the Queen, and I have met Her Royal Highness."

Then he said: "My queen, please go and see the emperor."

Empress Zhang just responded without saying a word, then leaned forward and glanced into the side hall, and then she saw that the entire hall was in a mess, with dozens of memorials scattered on the ground.

The two inkstones on the table were also knocked to the ground. A lot of black ink and red cinnabar ink poured onto the notebook, and some of it got into the carpet.

Emperor Hongzhi was sitting on the chair behind the imperial desk, and his whole person exuded the aura of keeping strangers away.

Seeing this scene, Empress Zhang turned her head and said: "Xiu Rong, you go back to the palace first, and the queen mother will go see your father. Maybe she saw some extraordinary report, and then she became furious."

"Um"

Zhao Yuerong responded obediently, then turned and left.

Empress Zhang calmed her face, straightened her expression, and then entered the palace.

"What happened to my husband today? You got so angry?"

Seeing the queen come in, Zhu Youtang seemed to have some reaction, but he just raised his eyes and looked at her without saying a word.

"You don't even want to pay attention to me?"

Empress Zhang had a smile on her face. As she spoke, she leaned over and started to pick up the memorial on the ground.

After another moment, Emperor Hongzhi finally said, "Shujun, don't pick it up. Just let the servants clean it up."

"But I heard that Your Majesty is so angry that no one else is allowed in. Anyone who comes in will get out of here."

"I was very scared just now. I was afraid that as soon as I came in, Your Majesty would scold me and go away."

"That is."

Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth to speak, but paused.

Queen Zhang looked up at him, "What is that?"

"I'm not scolding them, I'm scolding others."

The woman just now kept dazzling in front of his eyes. She disappeared, but as soon as someone came close, she would pop out again.

The face of the person approaching kept changing. One moment it was his original face, and the next it was the face of Concubine Wan Gui. It seemed that his body shape was also changing. Emperor Hongzhi realized that he might be hallucinating.

As soon as the queen came in, Zhu Youtang raised his eyes to observe, and saw that the queen had always looked like him, so he opened his mouth to communicate with her.

By this time, the feeling of panic seemed to have gradually eased.

"Who is the other person?"

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a while, "I don't want to mention it."

Empress Zhang smiled and did not ask any further questions, "Okay, then I won't mention it."

"."

There was another moment of silence, and then Zhu Youtang said, "Shujun, please put it down. I have nothing to do. I'll just ask the palace servants to come in and clean up."

As he spoke, he thought of something again and continued: "Didn't Shujun and Xiurong go to visit the emperor's grandmother this morning? I have nothing to do here. You can go on and talk to the emperor's grandmother for a while."

"Then why is your husband so angry?"

Emperor Hongzhi didn't want to talk about the secret report, lest the queen would also become angry. He just said: "I was angry about something."

"Something?"

"Um."

Zhu Youtang gave a vague hum and issued another expulsion order, "Okay, Shujun, let's take Xiurong to Shoukang Palace. The imperial grandmother must also want to talk to Xiurong for a while."

Hearing this, Empress Zhang stared at him suspiciously for a moment, then without asking any more questions, she put the dozen memorials she picked up on the desk, and then said: "Then I will go first, Your Majesty, please pay more attention."

Body, don't be angry."

"Yes, I know."

After Queen Zhang went out, Emperor Hongzhi waited for a while and called: "Xiao Banban."

Xiao Jing felt happy and hurriedly came in, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Youtang stared at him and observed, and found that the old eunuch's face had not changed, so he said with relief: "Go, find a few people to tidy up this palace, and then I will find Xia Qing's family."

PS: I am thinking about when to change the name of the heroine, so the chapters in which the heroine will appear will be less in these two days. After the name is changed, the number of scenes will increase.

There is also the fourth update, I am currently writing it, and I have not finished it after staying up all night.
Chapter completed!
