Zhen Guo Princess GL

Chapter 527 Epilogue

In the next few months, I was extremely busy, liquidating rebellious ministers, recalling old people, comforting mother, suppressing Li Jun... I personally took care of everything.

I can clearly feel my own weakness, like a mountain that has been hollowed out of the mine, day by day, in mid-September, without any external stimulation, I fell ill alone in the study, thanks to the gods Immortal came to call me to eat, helped me up in time, and gave me first aid according to the cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique I taught before. After that, my mother sent Gao Lishi, A Huan sent Wang De and Lion Slave, Cui Mingde, Pei Lansheng, etc. People also stay in my house, and everyone is united, so this period of time can be regarded as a perfunctory past.

Li Dian ascended the throne hastily in mid-July, but he didn't even live in Zhenguan Hall for a day.The mother lived in the main hall of Zhenguan Hall until September as the Supreme Emperor, and then the emperor made the order, and the Zen was located in the prince Shouli—now renamed Xu.

This time the grand ceremony is much more solemn. There have been three months of preparations inside and outside the palace, and it is planned to be held on January [-]st, which is New Year's Day.In this way, all members of the family inside and outside the family were able to pay homage to the newly appointed emperor outside Zetianmen—now renamed Fengtianmen—on the newly reformed New Year’s Day.

In the past few months, Shouli has been very silent. Although he has also participated in our affairs, actions and words, he is always like an outsider, and he no longer follows me step by step as before, asking for my opinion on everything.

I knew that he had something on his mind, but I just waited patiently. The day before the grand ceremony, he sent someone to take me to the main hall of the East Palace where he lived.

In a few months, this little man has grown a lot taller, he looks much stronger, he hesitates to speak, and he seems to be an adult, only the innocence that cannot be concealed between his brows still seems to be A young man with a fluffy face: "I will be enthroned tomorrow, aunt...do you have anything to ask me?"

I looked at him quietly: "What does Da Lang want me to ask?"

He pursed his lips, as if he had a lot to say, but in the end he just lowered his head and sighed: "Aunt...hasn't he planned it a long time ago?"

I walked over slowly, stood in front of him, and stretched out my hand to caress the top of his head. He leaned the top of his head in my palm docilely, as well-behaved as the infant child in the earliest days: "If you don't Yes, there is still time to say."

He looked at me blankly, showing some puzzled expression: "Really?"

I smiled at him and wanted to pinch his face, but in the end I put my hand on his shoulder: "If you become the emperor, you can do whatever you want. Even if you don't want to be the emperor, it's up to you."

He looked at me thoughtfully, and after a while, Fang said: "Auntie, do you think I am suitable for this position?"

I didn't answer him, but just patted him on the shoulder: "Whether it's suitable or not, you are the only one after all. This is the biggest paradox of etiquette and morality at present. The head of a family, the head of a family, and the king of a country sound like a Although you are honorable and are the object of this etiquette, you are actually the most poisoned by this etiquette. Because you are born, you are destined to play this role, as for whether you are interested in it, willing to do it, or even suitable. Suitability is not considered in etiquette. A person is nothing more than an object to the system, even if he is an emperor, he is nothing more than a more valuable item, that's all." Seeing him frowned by my words He frowned, seemed a little sad, and patted him on the shoulder half-jokingly; "Everyone in the world is not stupid. Everyone is fighting for the position of emperor, so it is not a bad thing. You just sit on it and try it. I'm afraid that you are happy to be the emperor, but you don't want us to hinder you."

Glancing at him with a half-smile, he said: "But you can rest assured, I have no children, and I have always been weak. Recently, I feel guilty and short-spirited. Even if I want to restrain myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to last for a few years." After a pause Stop, and continue: "Cui Mingde, Dugu Shao... the people you recognize in the women's club are all childless, homeless people, these people are really rootless trees to you, you must With your power as the Son of Heaven, you don't have to worry too much."

Shouli looked even more sad, got up suddenly, grabbed my hand and called "Auntie", his clear juvenile voice had long gone, and this time it was even hoarse, but the whole behavior was like a teenager who didn't know anything , was so sad that he stammered and called "Auntie" again, pursed his lips for a long time, and finally squeezed out what he wanted to ask: "Everyone wants this throne, and everyone is willing to throw away their wives for it. , Abandoning sons, killing fathers, killing kings... People who died in front of the Tianjin Bridge have dyed Luoshui red, is this considered good?"

I patted his hand with a smile: "If it is not good, what will you do? Give up this position to someone who is not as good as you, and wait for someone to take you, your wife and children, and us , send it to be that dead ghost in front of the Tianjin Bridge?"

He didn't speak, just lowered his head and sighed. I stroked his head and smiled softly: "I know you are a good boy, and I also know that you are disgusted after seeing so many things. But escaping is never the way. People As a person, you always have your own responsibilities. As a prince, you enjoy the ultimate wealth in the world, so you should take on the responsibilities of the world. What's more, if you don't become an emperor, how can you really change what you hate? These things?"

Shouli showed a thoughtful look again, and while he was thinking, I slowly said: "Actually, in the final analysis, it's all about the word 'system'. If the emperor enjoys all the good things, no one else can compare with him." Hello, the emperor, then everyone is going to grab the emperor's position with red eyes - the gap is too big. If you can be the emperor and you can kill yourself, everyone will naturally want to grab it, because if you don't grab it , who knows if you will be the next to die? On the contrary, if you are the emperor, it is just a choice. There is no absolute good or bad, whether you choose or not, but whether it is suitable or not, will not so many people go to it? Robbed? For another example, politicians follow a certain bottom line. If there are some public rules that even the emperor cannot violate, will they be more harmonious with each other? Of course, what I said is just a metaphor , and there are many other ways. We are unwilling and unable to accompany you for the rest of our lives. You have to explore these things by yourself in the end. Do you understand?"

Shouli nodded, shook his head again, wanted to speak, but I stopped him, I looked at him with a smile, and said softly: "However, there is one thing I am sure of, that is, when people get old, they tend to be confused. It's nothing to stay, but if you sit in the position of the emperor, you will harm others and yourself. Courtiers all have a system of retirement. I think that an emperor should also have a custom of retirement. When a certain age is reached, For example, those who are seventy... or those who are weak and sick, will abdicate by themselves and become a carefree emperor, passing on the responsibilities they should have to their next generation. The fight is over. What do you think?"

Shouli was lost in thought.

I knew that it was time for him to be alone at this time, so I stepped back without waiting for him to speak. When I reached the door, I saw A Huan standing outside the side wall, smiling at me with a half-smile, and took three steps at a time. Walked over in two steps, held her hand and called "A Huan", but she pretended to throw me away, turned her eyes to me, and said, "I thought you really wanted to be generous, but I didn't expect you to be so kind." You never forget to sell your weird ideas, just like the Nestorians."

I smiled and continued to shake her hand: "Be kind to him, and talk to him about these things by the way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

She glared at me, shook off my hand, walked forward slowly, and said as she walked: "You are right. An emperor should have his time to rest—and people will listen to you!"

I laughed: "He didn't listen because he was stupid. You don't know. At the time of the gods, many people yearned for retirement. Some even hoped to retire at the age of 40, and then go to dance square dances and travel with their wives. What a pleasure!"

She said to me: "If you think so, then you can retire at the age of 40."

I smiled and said, "Why not?" Seeing that she stopped and looked back at me, she also stopped, looked at her seriously and said, "With my mother's intelligence, you have already seen what she looks like in her old age. She still has her own children. Ask yourself, you and I may be more talented than my mother? When we get older, may we control the situation like my mother? I am not in good health. When you are old and unable to do what you want, you don't have the capital to compete with others. Instead of being greedy for power and position, and being blackmailed by others in the end, it's better to have a sense of humor and let everyone be decent, what do you think?"

She glanced at me and said indifferently: "I don't care. I'm just afraid that your grand plans and great achievements, without the support of power, will be like flowers in a mirror, and the moon in the water will be nothing in the end."

I laughed: "Because of this, I hope that the things I do are not done by me alone. In this way, I will be missing, or you will be missing, Cui Mingde will be missing, and Ah will be missing." Shao...without anyone, this matter will continue, endlessly." Staring at her, he felt the tenderness of his life: "Everything in this world, without you or me, will continue, but If I lose you, or if you lose me, the world between the two of us will no longer be a world."

She didn't reply to me, but I know she listened to it - it doesn't matter if I don't listen to it, when I'm old and retired, I will hang around in front of her every day, pestering her to do this Well, believe it or not, she still has a lot of time to take care of other things.

This is the most important move I learned from my Shangguan master. She used this move to relieve my mother, and I am going to use this move to relieve A Huan.

A Huan, A Huan, A Huan.

I read her name softly, caught up with her footsteps, and clasped her hand.

On January [-]st, three generations of emperors visited the Vientiane Shrine, and once again held the Zen ceremony.In this ceremony, Wan'er, Cui Mingde and I were all allowed to enter and worship along with the officials.After the ceremony, Shouli supported his mother's car and walked all the way from Wanxiang Shrine to Shangyang Palace.The honorable titles of the ministers were Zetian Shengshen Emperor for the mother, Emperor Yingtian Shunde for Li Wei, and Empress Yingtian Shunde for A Huan. It is the Holy Queen of Ying Tianshun.

Every ten days, Shouli will lead a group of officials to meet His Majesty Zetian Shengshen Emperor at the Shangyang Palace.All major military and state affairs have been heard.The system of the Emperor of Zetian Shengshen is called Gao, the system of Emperor Shunde of Tiantian is called Xun, and the system of today's emperor is called system.

Shouli named me Zhenguo Changle Princess, and later changed it to Zhenguo Princess.The Princess Mansion allows soldiers to stand up every ten steps and hold axes and axes like a prince's guard.The princesses born by Shouli will also follow suit in the future.

Six years later, Emperor Zetian Shengshen passed away and was buried in a mausoleum built separately. Except for the lack of a temple name, all regulations and future sacrifices were the same as those of the previous emperor.Emperor Yingtian Shunde died one day earlier than Emperor Zetian Shengshen.

I built a Wangji Temple outside the Shangyang Palace in the old days, and Shangguan Wan'er became a monk here.
