The emperor came to visit and regained his military power
According to the imperial edict, the third prince will inherit the throne.
After the third prince, An Qing, ascended the throne, he named Concubine Mu the Holy Mother Queen Mother, and Shen Wanyao the Queen, and granted a general amnesty to the world.
In the past, I would have been extremely happy to hear about the amnesty, so that I would not have to stay in Ci'an Temple for the rest of my life. However, the late emperor passed away. I was his adopted daughter, although I did not have to observe filial piety like other princes and princesses.
Three years, but it is reasonable to expect that there should be one and a half years of filial piety. The full period is exactly three years, one day is not too much, and one day is not too much.
Shouxiao is different from Qingxiu. According to Aunt Rong's wish, she wants me to move back to the princess's mansion so that she can take care of her. I can do anything. When Mrs. Beijinghou heard about this from Murong Qingfeng, she became very anxious.
Come here and bring out the late emperor's imperial edict, which prohibits me from leaving Ci'an Temple privately before the deadline.
Even if I leave, the current Holy Emperor will not pursue this matter, but I know in my heart that she is doing it for my reputation. After all, I have suffered for such a long time. If I can persevere, everyone in the capital will praise me for my kindness.
If you give up halfway, I'm afraid you will be labeled as unkind and unjust.
So I stopped Chunzhu Qiuju who was packing his luggage and returned to the inner hall to continue copying scriptures.
.
Murong Qingfeng came to take Mrs. Bei Jinghou back. Not long after they left, the emperor came to Ci'an Temple incognito in a simple and elegant sedan.
Seeing me at the desk copying the Diamond Sutra seriously, he smiled and said: "My father made a good move and locked you up in Buddhism for a few years to cultivate your moral character. You will no longer be able to remember the fun of galloping on the battlefield. From then on, the Cheng family army took over
In the hands of the royal family, the world will be at peace."
"My Cheng family has always taken it as our own responsibility to protect the safety of the people of Yuechen. We are not those who are greedy for vanity. It's just that we have carried the name in vain for a long time, and it is inevitable that we will feel the cold at high places. Now that the world is at peace and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, we are relieved of this burden.
It's a good time, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Qian Hu to hand over the military talisman. It can't be said that he was plotted by the late emperor, it can only be said that he was careless." I turned over a page of the scripture and picked up the pen to continue: "What's more, I just
It is proper for a woman to stay in a deep house and look after her husband and raise children. As for galloping on the battlefield and enjoying herself in the world, it should be left to the families of men who are passionate about the country."
Hearing this, the emperor shook his head and sighed: "There are some things in this world that you can't just do if you don't want to. For example, I just want to be an idle prince, walking the streets and willow alleys to play with birds and dogs every day. How could I have imagined that one day I would be burdened with a heavy burden for the country and the country?"
It will fall on your shoulders..."
I laughed softly: "You can look down on the world and kill and seize everything at the palm of your hand. How many people dream of climbing to that position but can't. Although with great rights comes great responsibilities, but who in life has no responsibilities? A person should always be content with what he has.
Happiness is."
"I can't be happy." Chunzhu came in with a bowl of tea. She never thought that the emperor would be here, and was shocked. Fortunately, she reacted in time and put the bowl of tea in her hand directly on the low table next to the emperor.
The emperor picked it up, took a sip, waved his hand to signal Chunzhu to retreat, and then said solemnly: "This morning, I received an urgent report from Eight Hundred Miles. Rong Di has stationed troops on the eastern border, and will probably invade in a large scale in the future.
"
The Rong Di are a nomadic people. In spring, summer and autumn, when the water and grass are abundant, their cattle and sheep are fat and fat. They can survive on hay in winter. However, there is a severe drought this spring, and large areas of grassland have withered. Many cattle and sheep have starved to death, and the people have no food to eat. They
The leader then set his sights on the Yuechen Kingdom that bordered it.
"Rong Di is brave and good at fighting, but to the powerful Yuechen Kingdom, they are just bandits who robbed along the way. They are really nothing to be afraid of. Just send any general to lead the troops to suppress the bandits." I replied nonchalantly.
"There are many high mountains in the east, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, no troops have been stationed there for many years. If we want to use troops, we can only borrow them from the Dingbei Military Camp in the north." The emperor frowned and said with deep meaning: "No wait. I asked who was willing to lead the troops, and Shen Nanfeng took the initiative to go out and ask for orders."
In the past, the third prince An Qing had no interest in the throne. He would hide whenever possible. If the Shen family hadn't been behind the scenes, someone else would be the emperor today... The Shen family relied on their support and merit, and they were relatives of the emperor. With his connections, he kept inserting confidants into the six ministries, winning over important officials in the court, and excluding dissidents. For a while, he became so powerful that no one could match him. Now, through the Rong Di incident, he is trying to capture the entire Dingbei Army...
I recovered from my surprise when I first heard about this, and after being silent for a while, I said: "To be fair, Shen Nanfeng is indeed a general. The Dingbei Army is under his command. It is not a waste of resources. It's just that the Shen family covers the sky with one hand. They dare to boldly and shamelessly get involved in military power, and are not afraid of their great achievements. Do they have too much confidence in themselves, or do they have no confidence in the emperor?"
"Of course you have no confidence in me." The emperor's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he hummed: "So I can't let them get what they want." After saying that, he turned his head to me and added: "I can only wrong you. "
I was shot even lying down. I was full of questions. When he saw this, he explained: "I plan to return the Dingbei Army's military talisman to you again."
I quickly raised my hand and begged for mercy: "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty, but the daughter of the people has no intention of doing this. You'd better look for someone else."
There was no displeasure on the emperor's face, he just said with a smile: "I know that you have a deep affection for cousin Murong. The person who leads the practice here will be able to stay with him for a long time in the future. It's just that he granted the marriage first and then broke off the engagement. Shen Nanfeng I have lost all my face, and even though I got a princess in the end, it is hard to reconcile my feelings. If he looks for an opportunity to cause trouble, what will you do?"
I smiled and said: "Murong Qingfeng and I have a marriage granted by the late emperor. After we get married, we become members of the Murong family. Shen Nanfeng hates me all the time. After all, the Shen family and the Murong family are close relatives. What can he do to me?" "
"It's still a few years until you get married. Who knows if something unexpected will happen during this period?" The emperor squinted his eyes, looking confident: "As far as I know, the North Madam Jinghou is not very satisfied with you, she even fainted from anger on the spot a few days ago..."
Every sentence hits the mark. These are indeed what I have always been worried about. It is easy to hide from an open gun and hard to avoid a hidden arrow, not to mention that what the Shen family is best at is operating behind the scenes.
He continued: "Taking a step back, even if you can really marry into the Murong family as you wish, your natal family will only be an empty shell with no one to rely on. You can imagine what the situation will be like. If the Shen family is no longer If you fan the wind and light a fire next to you, even if you can't be separated, the chaos every day is far from the peaceful life you want. But it will be different if you have military power in your hands. Not only do they not dare to despise you, they will also rush to curry favor with you..."
What else can I say? I can't say anything, I can only nod in agreement.
