Chapter 529 Worse Than Death
After working hard, the emperor returned to the palace and passed by in the middle of the night. He was extremely tired. I thought I could not go to the morning court tomorrow, so I might as well stop the morning court for half a day.
The imperial palace servants must do all the preparations for the Pingwang Mansion tonight. When civil and military officials come to court tomorrow morning, they will inform them to go directly to the Pingwang Mansion to pay their respects. Then they will go back to their own yamen and do their own work. There are important things to do.
, wait until lunch, and come to the morning.
Thinking about Ouyang Kang and Guan Yaozu crying so childishly, afraid that the young people could not stand such a big deal, he issued an urgent order, ordering Su Cheng, the Jinzi Guanglu doctor, as the official envoy, and Guan Tianxiao, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, as the deputy envoy, as the assistant manager.
The funeral of the Prince Ping’s Mansion.
Although Su Cheng has difficulty in legs and feet, he is there to stay. In addition, Guan Tianxiao, these two people are supporting the venue, so he should be safe.
But on that night, a small theft occurred in the emperor's palace. It was not until Chengping came to duty the next day that he realized it.
Gao Xian was furious, but the matter was too important, so he could only wait and investigate in secret. But soon he found out that an old palace maid had hanged herself.
But the ministers were not aware of these. They just looked at the favor of heaven, and who would not flatter them?
Although the emperor asked the ministers to go to the Prince Ping's Mansion to pay their respects to the next morning, how could the palace envoy work in vain when he was running around the capital that night? Some families with deep relationships received the news first.
So one passes to ten, ten passes to hundreds.
When the ministers came to court on the second day, except for those who lived in the suburbs of Beijing, most of the officials in Beijing prepared simple clothes and gifts and gathered in front of the palace gate.
Waiting for the imperial edict to be issued. Under the leadership of the cabinet ministers of the three provinces, they all went to the Pingwang Mansion to pay their respects. They were so anxious that those officials who had not had time to prepare would borrow money everywhere and those who borrowed clothes would borrow clothes.
Waiting to come to the gate of Prince Ping's Mansion, I saw a ritual that was no less than the royal prince's specifications. I heard that the empress dowager was still guarding her, especially the emperor came to sing incense last night, and some officials who had brought the gifts thinly. At this moment
I began to regret it.
Walking further in. Seeing Su Cheng, especially Zhenyuan Hou standing there to greet him, the ministers couldn't help but have some subtle changes in their hearts.
I thought this person was already an abandoned son, but I didn't expect that he could still use it by the emperor. If he appeared in such an occasion, the importance of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion should be re-estimated.
Even Guan Tianxiao was a military general. He had been in the officialdom for many years. How could he not see the thoughts of his colleagues? He just sighed in his heart that he thought that he had given birth to Guan Yaozu's little enemy in this life, but he never thought that he would still get involved today.
The son's blindness is gone.
They left with their own thoughts. Later, when the sky was bright, the relatives, friends, powerful people, and female relatives began to come to the door one after another.
Some gifts were lighter, so I quickly asked my wife to make up for them. The final gift was a very shocking number.
But no matter how much money is, what's the use?
I heard that Princess Jiashan was so sad that she could not meet anyone. She was doing everything to keep the guards on her behalf. This is easy to understand. Can a pregnant woman who is about to give birth to such trouble?
Who can bear such a blow after losing his parents overnight? Fortunately, there are also imperial physicians sent from the palace guarding them day and night. If it were an ordinary family, they might have to follow them.
As for the only fruits left by the Mu family, everyone said that it was a bit unfavorable to comment.
After all, it is impossible to hide this matter. Later, in order to put out the fire, the Prince Ping invited the Water Dragon Team to come. Naturally, I heard some outlines and probably knew what was going on. But look at the current appearance of Queen Mother Mu, I am the Emperor.
Shi Jifan wanted to talk about it, but he still took the note back.
Queen Mother Mu was also a six-year-old. She looked at only about forty people and was still charming. But now when she looked at her, her face was full of wrinkles and white hair, she looked like an old woman.
Her eyes were dull and haggard, as if she could fall to the ground at any time. She died. Can you still jump to her with such an old lady righteously and preach?
Although there is no need to take vegetarian food between brothers and sisters, the shock caused by the younger brother when he died was too great, so Empress Dowager Mu felt guilty and was particularly harsh on herself.
Although the outer clothes were just plain clothes, the underwear was replaced with sesame seeds. The bedding and bedding were also covered with embroidery patterns, and all of them were replaced with rough cloth. She also had her daily meals, which were vegetarian.
It’s not those carefully crafted vegetarian food, it’s really just the most common things like boiled beans in water. She just stopped eating it after putting some oil, saying it was disgusting. Most of them were just
Drink some porridge and pickles.
Now, even the most picky person is not easy to say anything else.
Not all mistakes can be forgiven, but perhaps the heaviest punishment she has received now is the heaviest punishment for an old empress dowager who has already punished herself in this way and buried half of the loess.
Nianfu never went to see her, and she never came to see Nianfu.
The two aunts and nephews, the only two women who were surnamed Mu, saw no one else.
Needless to say, people who are not familiar with each other can understand them.
How can I comfort myself when something like this happens at home? I am afraid that the more I comfort myself, the more sad I feel. It is better not to disturb them so that they can be quiet.
After 749 days, the Pingwang and his wife were buried in the cemetery of the Mu family in the suburbs of Beijing.
Originally, according to the specifications of King Ping, he would not have been buried so quickly. He had to choose a life, repair a tomb, choose a burial, and even be qualified to be buried in the royal tomb, but those would take at least one or two years.
But Nianfu is a firm and generous burialist. When a person is dead, no matter how grand a funeral is, it is for living people to see. To put it, it is not afraid of being ugly. The thicker the burial, the more you recruit those who touch the gold lieutenant.
Think about it.
So she advocated that she would be buried so often. Didn’t the court always advocate frugality? Also, when Mu Shaoqin was building that cemetery, he asked someone to dig a tomb for himself, but now he only needs to repair it.
The episode will be used.
The rare Empress Dowager Mu did not sing a counter-topic, but just silently asked someone to go back to the palace to pack up a box of things and send it to Nianfu himself. Those who are willing to put it in and bury them with them, and those who are unwilling to give them to her will be given to her.
Nianfu didn't make any stubbornness with her, and even locked the box and sent it in without even looking at it.
Funeral matters are nothing more than everyone doing their own hearts.
But on the day of the funeral, the aunt and nephew met after the accident.
Empress Dowager Mu was so thin that she looked dry and old. Her hair was mostly gray and her back was hunched, showing a very old look. If it weren't for someone's support, she would almost not be able to walk.
Nianfu was fine. Although his chin was sharp, his body was pretty good and his belly became bigger after careful conditioning by the imperial physician.
Seeing that someone was sending his parents' coffin into the tomb, Nianfu couldn't help it and leaned on Ouyang Kang's shoulder and sobbed quietly.
Empress Dowager Mu looked at her, her lips moved for a long time, but finally she lowered her eyes and said nothing.
The aunt and nephew, let's part.
Since there is no King Ping, Nianfu submitted his letter to the Pingwang Mansion the day after his parents were buried, saying that he would never want to see such a sad place again. As for the servants in the mansion, he served his father.
My mother's relationship, I hope the emperor will be kind and give good books to give them a place to go.
The emperor was silent for a long time and rewarded the royal palace to Su Cheng. He also handed it over to Su Cheng when he responded to the servant's handling.
After cooking the funeral of parents, there is someone who should deal with it. Nianfu must make an idea.
Ruan Hanyan thought she was dead, so in those days when she was locked up, she would eat and drink like an ordinary person, like a walking corpse, waiting for her ending as if she was dead.
Unexpectedly, after the burial of the Pingwang couple, she was not executed or sent to prison, but was sent to a small temple outside Yangjiao Village by a small car.
The abbot in the nunnery was still the Master Cihang who was a little greedy for medical skills and was a little greedy for money, and the senior sister was still the Senior Sister Liyuan who bullied the weak. The only difference was that there was no longer a little maid Lingzhi who served her by her side.
The girl was married to a countryside village by Mrs. Ruan when she returned to Ruan's mansion to get married.
"You, what are you going to do?" Ruan Hanyan, who was not afraid of death, was inexplicably scared at this moment.
Master Cihang sighed and picked up the razor, "From the future, you can stay here with peace of mind."
Stay in this temple?
Senior Sister Leyuan said coldly, "The princess is kind-hearted and said that since the prince saved you, she will not pursue your fault again. But from now on, you will have to officially become a monk here. All your food and drink are the same.
Be as self-sufficient as we do.”
No!
Such a poor and poor life is really more terrifying than death!
But can she blame someone? Even if she kept saying in front of Mu Shaoqin that the burning of Hui Niang and her son was just because she hated Empress Dowager Mu, can she really deceive people if she said this?
If she hadn't had resentment towards Mu Shaoqin and jealous of Hui Niang, how could she have done such a thing?
She had been planning for a long time. If the empress dowager didn't come that day, what would she say?
Ruan Hanyan couldn't deceive herself.
So after she was sentenced, she resisted so powerlessly. She watched her hair fall off and had nine scars on her face. She couldn't do it if she didn't want to become a monk.
But what will she do if she wants to die?
As if she guessed her intention, Leyuan took a thin iron chain that could not be taken off and hung a bell around her neck. With just a touch, there would be a crisp sound of Dingdang, which was so big and quiet.
She couldn't die from now on in the temple.
So, the smoke from Wangyue Temple came back.
But this time, she could never leave again.
In the days and nights that followed, whenever Ruan Hanyan looked up and saw the moon in the sky, she would think, how good would it be if time could return to the day when she was sixteen?
She will definitely not make such a decision, she will definitely not.
Unfortunately, she did not have such a chance until the year when she passed away at the age of 66. She had been trapped in this small temple for the rest of her life and never left again.
(I sent another lunch box. The empress dowager also received half of it, and the other half slowly. Then, let me tell you the good news that Pingwang's family is not dead... So, I am my real mother!!!) (To be continued in advance
