Chapter 77
When Sun Doudou saw Sun Kui coming back, she hurriedly walked up to greet him: "Master, you are back."
Sun Kui nodded gently, then looked at His Highness Dai and Kong Taichang who had already walked away, and asked Sun Doudou, "What happened? Why are the faces of His Highness Dai and Kong Taichang so ugly?"
Sun Doudou shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Just now, when His Highness Dai Wang and Kong Taichang were in the imperial study, Sun Doudou was guarding the door and did not hear clearly what they were saying inside.
"Master, as soon as you left, Kong Taichang came to ask for a meeting, and not long after, His Highness Dai Wang came."
Sun Kui guessed what was going on, "I'll go in and serve you, please guard at the door."
“Yes, Master.”
Sun Kui walked into the imperial study lightly, saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou first, and then said, "Empress Zhaoyi asked me to thank you for her."
Emperor Wu of Zhou said "yes" and said nothing.
Seeing that Emperor Wu of Zhou did not ask, Sun Kui did not dare to say much. As for His Highness Dai and Kong Taichang's expressions, he did not dare to ask too much. He quietly retreated aside and waited.
At this time, in Kunde Hall, Liang Zhaoyi was talking to Yu Meiren and others about copying Buddhist scriptures.
Emperor Wu of Zhou lowered his head and continued to review the memorials, without saying anything.
"She would rather make things difficult for me than make things difficult for me." The only one around him, the Queen, never asked him for anything. "She didn't even want me to know when she was sick, and let me worry about her."
"I feel that I owe her." Although Emperor Wu of Zhou is not keen on love between men and women, it does not mean that he is a man of a heart. Although he does not like the first queen, he knows what the first queen has done for him. Now that people are dead, it will be useless for him to say that he is owed.
"I was neglecting her." Emperor Wu of Zhou respected the Empress in the First Queen very much, but he didn't care much. Sometimes, when he became busy, he even forgot about the existence of the Empress in the First Queen.
"Sister, this year is the seventh year of the Queen's departure. Are we only copying Buddhist scriptures?" Yu Meiren asked.
"The Queen of the First Emperor doesn't want you to be distracted by her affairs." When the Queen of the First Emperor was seriously ill, the Emperor had just ascended the throne for a few years. At that time, the world was not peaceful and there were many things in the court. The Emperor often reviewed memorials until midnight, and sometimes even did not sleep all night.
Or maybe it was because the death day of the Empress in the First Queen was coming, and the emperor felt that he was owed to the Empress in the First Queen, so he became soft-hearted to the Prince.
The emperor actually wanted to stop the court on the day of the death of the first queen! This is amazing!
Although the emperor stopped the court for three days when the first queen passed away, the emperor never stopped the court since then. Unexpectedly, after seven years, the emperor wanted to stop the court for the first queen for another day.
Liang Zhaoyi's soaked tea was very suitable for Emperor Wu of Zhou. Because Emperor Wu of Zhou liked it, the whole palace changed to drinking this kind of tea. Later, the ministers in the court also drank the soaked tea. Then, this kind of tea was popular throughout the capital.
Liang Zhaoyi nodded and said, "Then we will make lamps after copying the Buddhist scriptures."
Emperor Wu of Zhou put down the teacup and sighed softly: "In a blink of an eye, she has been away for seven years."
Emperor Wu of Zhou put down the memorial and took the tea cup from Sun Kui. He opened the cover of the tea, and the fragrance of the tea leaves came to his nose.
"With you praying for the First Queen, the First Queen will definitely live a good life in the Western Paradise."
"What's your idea?"
"This year is the seventh year of her departure..." Emperor Wu of Zhou thought for a while and said, "On the day of her death, I personally went to Hulong Temple to pray for her."
"Your Majesty, should you add something to the Queen's death day?"
When Sun Kui heard this, he was shocked and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, will you not attend the morning court that day?"
This kind of soaked tea was learned by Zhao Yao from Zhao Yao in the dream. Zhao Yao in the dream likes to drink tea and is very particular about drinking tea.
Sun Doudou quickly brought hot tea, and Sun Kui brought it in and brought it to Emperor Wu of Zhou with both hands.
"Emperor..." Sun Kui saw a sad look on Emperor Wu of Zhou's face, and didn't know how to comfort him.
"On the day of her death, it's enough to be on the morning court."
"In a few days, it will be the death day of the Empress's death. From tomorrow on, we will take a bath and quit for three days, and then copy Buddhist scriptures for the Empress's death three days later." Every year, Liang Zhaoyi and Yu Meiren will copy Buddhist scriptures for the Empress's death day.
In the past, Emperor Wu of Zhou did not drink this kind of tea, but the kind of tea that turned into tea powder. The tea he drank now was soaked tea, which he learned from Liang Zhaoyi.
Forget it, this is not something that a servant should care about.
In fact, nine years ago, the Empress was sick. At first, the Empress was not seriously ill. In order not to let Emperor Wu of Zhou know, she ordered the imperial physician to hide it. Later, the Empress was seriously ill and could no longer hide it, so she let Emperor Wu of Zhou know.
In the seventh year of the empress dowager's death, Emperor Wu of Zhou personally went to Hulong Temple to pray for her for forty-nine days according to the rules. As for other princes, there were no other princes.
"If I had known about her condition earlier, maybe she wouldn't have left so early." Emperor Wu of Zhou was always worried about the death of the Queen of the First Queen. He always felt that if he had discovered that the Queen of the First Queen was sick earlier, maybe the Queen of the First Queen's illness could be cured in time.
"Your Majesty, take a tea and rest."
Liang Zhaoyi asked, "What kind of lamp is it made, lotus lantern?"
"I can't go." The seventh year of the death of a relative is a very important year, and they usually worship them solemnly.
Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "No need to add it." After that, he waved his hand and asked Sun Kui to retreat.
Sun Kui retreated aside and stood quietly. However, his heart was filled with storms.
Sun Kui said: "The first queen is the virtuous queen."
"Where are the other princes?" Liang Zhaoyi said, "Yaoyao and the others are also the children of the first queen. Do you need to do anything for the first queen?" The first queen is the legitimate mother and the mother of all princes. Zhao Yao and the others should pray for the first queen.
Pan Cairen asked, "Then let's turn on the lamp, can the queen receive it?"
"Emperor, do you want to be the first queen?" Sun Kui followed Emperor Wu of Zhou when he was granted the title of crown prince. At that time, he realized that Emperor Wu of Zhou had no love for the first queen, only respect.
After taking a few sips of tea, Emperor Wu of Zhou asked Sun Kui, "Are the things to worship the first queen ready?"
She asked again, "What else do you need to do?"
When the Empress married Emperor Wu of Zhou, Emperor Wu of Zhou fought outside for many years. She took care of all the big and small things at home, so he didn't have to worry about it at all. Not only that, she also helped to take care of the relatives of his soldiers, so that they would not have to worry about their families and follow him to fight with peace of mind.
"Emperor, the Queen of the First Detectively hides you from you and does not let you know, how could you know?" I have to say that the Queen of the First Detective can really hide things, and it is so hidden that it is not airtight. If the Emperor hadn't accidentally encountered the Queen of the First Detective vomiting blood, the Queen of the First Detective would have let the Queen of the First Detective know about her condition.
"In a noble family, the concubine's son wanted to pray for his legitimate mother, but in the palace... I don't know. "Yu Meiren is a local from the capital and has a good understanding of the rules in the capital.
"Lotus lanterns cannot write Buddhist scriptures, just ordinary lanterns, but lotus flowers can be drawn on the lanterns."
"She never told me what she did, nor did she ask me for anything." When Emperor Wu of Zhou was young, he was careless and rarely cared about family affairs. If it weren't for the mother's words that the queen had done for him, he would never know that she had done a lot of things for him silently. "When she died, she never asked me for anything. She always considered me and never asked for anything for herself and the prince."
The emperor chose to stop the first queen at this time. Could it be for the prince?
Could it be that because he gave Kong Taichang's youngest daughter to the Dai King, the emperor felt that he owed the prince and wanted to make up for it?
Sun Kui pressed the shock in his heart and said with a respectful expression: "Yes, the emperor."
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were more than one son of Emperor Wu of Zhou. Emperor Wu of Zhou originally had four brothers and two sisters, and he was the old son of the Empress Dowager. Before the founding of the late emperor, his four brothers and two sisters were gone.
"The rest is not something we can do." Yu Meiren said, "According to the rules, the prince should go to the temple to pray for the first queen forty-nine days."
"Your Majesty, if you feel that you owe the First Empress, let the monks from Hulong Temple pray for the First Empress more."
"In fact, according to the rules, the lamp must be turned on. The lamp must be made by yourself, and Buddhist scriptures must be copied on it." Yu Meiren said, "The Buddhist scriptures on this lamp must be copied with the blood of relatives, so that those who die can receive the lamp. However, we are not the relatives of the Queen, and we do not need to copy Buddhist scriptures with blood."
After the late emperor ascended the throne, although there were many daughters from aristocratic families who entered the palace to serve as concubines, they did not give birth to dragon heirs for the late emperor.
"Your Majesty, do you want to add anything else?"
Sun Kui replied respectfully: "Everything is ready."
"I owe her too much." Emperor Wu of Zhou felt full of guilt when he thought of the first queen. In this life, he was sorry for the two of them. One was the eldest brother and the other was the first queen.
After a while, he walked out and asked Sun Doudou to bring a cup of hot tea.
"It shouldn't be received, but this is our dedication."
"Let the monks of Hulong Temple copy more Buddhist scriptures for the Empress."
His two sisters disappeared when he was a child and died in war. His four brothers died on the battlefield.
After the first emperor ascended the throne, he was no longer small. In addition, he was injured in many years of wars outside, leaving many sequelae, and he was unable to have another child for a long time.
Fortunately, there is also the youngest son of Emperor Wu of Zhou, otherwise the late emperor would have adopted the child from others. However, Emperor Wu of Zhou almost died of death once. Fortunately, he was very lucky and finally survived.
