Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 199 Final Chapter

No matter how long it has passed, no matter what age, the women in the harem still like to fight openly and secretly, and like to be jealous.As long as Jo Hee Yeon is around, their life will be very interesting.He coaxes when he is angry, he coaxes when he is jealous, and he coaxes when he is unhappy.But all the open and covert fights could not be fought against Xia Shuning's head. The whole Qi knew that the imperial concubine was the emperor's heart and soul, and no one could say a bad word, even the empress dowager and empress.In the 21st year of Tianyuan, the imperial concubine occasionally felt cold and had a high fever, and the emperor did not even go to court, and stayed by the bed with his clothes untied.Every soup and meal is cooked and fed by the emperor himself, and he will never give it to others.Until the imperial concubine's fever subsided, the emperor watched her for three whole days without closing his eyes. When the imperial concubine's fever subsided, the emperor burst into tears on the spot to thank God for his love.Folk stories about the emperor and the imperial concubine are more widely circulated, and they are moved by the sincere love between the two as childhood sweethearts.

In the 22nd year of Tianyuan, Emperor Tianyuan decreed to vigorously cultivate magnolia, and on the birthday of the imperial concubine, he would hang a red ribbon on the magnolia tree to pray for God to bless the imperial concubine.

In the 23rd year of Tianyuan, Wulan Kacha, the Great Khan of Mobei, died of illness. Emperor Tianyuan worshiped the king of Zhenbei, Yue Fuzhong, as his commander, appointed the eldest son of the emperor as the general, and brought the third, fourth, and seventh sons of the emperor to conquer Mobei.

In the 28th year of Tianyuan, Emperor Tianyuan led Prince Jin, Eighth Prince, and Ninth Prince to personally conquer, and the Fifth Prince supervised the country, defeated the Mobei Army, and annexed Mobei.

In the 29th year of Tianyuan, Emperor Tianyuan divided the government among the nine sons, known as the Nine Kings in history.

After the annexation of Mobei, Zhao Xiyan no longer took care of government affairs, and devoted himself to accompanying the six concubines to travel across the country, filial piety to the queen mother, and spoiling grandchildren.

In the 32nd year of Tianyuan, Emperor Tianyuan became seriously ill, and the empress, imperial concubine, concubine Yan, concubine Ulan, concubine Xian, concubine De, nine princes and the four princesses attended the sickness together.In the same year, Emperor Shiyue recovered from his illness, and his black hair turned gray.

In the 35th year of Tianyuan, Emperor Tianyuan fell ill again, but he got better in August of the same year, and there was a wave of establishing a prince in the court.

In the 43rd year of Tianyuan, the 62nd year of Emperor Tianyuan, he became ill after the new year, and his hair was all gray and white.The Empress, Imperial Concubine, Concubine Yan, Concubine Ulan, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Virtuous serve the sick together.

March in Yangchun is the birthday of today, but no one can be happy, because the emperor has been sick for more than three months.Today is Zhao Xiyan's 63rd birthday, but he is lingering on the sick bed, with a sick face and an emaciated body.

"Sir, it's time to drink the medicine."

The 62-year-old Xia Shuning, who was still full of black hair, came to Zhao Xiyan's bedside with a medicine bowl in her hand. Zhao Xiyan saw that her eyes were brightened and they were no longer cloudy.

"I don't want to drink medicine, why don't I have longevity noodles and red eggs on my birthday today?"

"Drink the medicine quickly, you are indispensable."

Xia Shuning pointed to the steaming longevity noodles on the table beside her, and Zhao Xiyan looked in the direction she pointed, showing a satisfied smile.She was very obedient and allowed Xia Shuning to feed her medicine.Seeing how well-behaved he was today, Xia Shuning smiled.Zhao Xiyan was overwhelmed when he saw such a familiar smiling face.

"Why are you so stupid? After eating a bowl of noodles for a lifetime, why are you still clamoring for it?"

"No way, I love you so much."

When Zhao Xiyan was 55 years old, his health went from bad to worse, and he was particularly forgetful for one year.Forgot everything except Xia Shuning, who always looked for her cousin wherever she went.If the Poison Sage hadn't dragged his old body into the palace for treatment, he might not have survived that year at all.When the poison sage came, he said that Zhao Xiyan would not pass the age of 65, his meridians were reversed at birth, and later he was seriously injured by poisoning many times. It is really hard to survive to this age.After the new year, Zhao Xiyan couldn't get sick, and this time he was more seriously ill than before.Xia Shuning had already prepared for the worst, but she still couldn't help feeling sad.She fed Zhao Xiyan sips of longevity noodles and burst into tears.Zhao Xiyan, who used to take less than a quarter of an hour to eat a bowl of noodles, now couldn't even lift the bowl, and ate for an entire hour.Zhao Xiyan was haggard and emaciated like an 80-year-old man, with white hair and trembling hands that could not hold anything.After eating the longevity noodles, Zhao Xiyan fell asleep after talking with Xia Shuning.Looking at him sleeping, Xia Shuning couldn't restrain the grief in her heart. She held his hand tightly and burst into tears, dripping down on Zhao Xiyan's sleeve.

Zhao Xiyan slept until the afternoon, and when he opened his eyes, he really wanted to go out for a walk. Xia Shuning, who was guarding the bedside, had already fallen asleep.He struggled to get up, covered Xia Shuning with his coat, pushed open the door with a cane, and finally saw the sun and breathed fresh air.Xiangyun's hair was also covered with gray hair, and he saw Zhao Xiyan leaning on a cane from a distance, and trotted over quickly.

"Your Majesty, why did you get out of bed? It's windy outside, so you can't catch a cold."

"Lie down until your bones are falling apart, you've been rambling all your life and you're still rambling now."

"The emperor is the slave's first master and the only master in this life. He has served you all his life. Isn't it too late to think that the slave is long-winded?"

"You still dare to contradict me, you are really the same, you haven't changed in your life."

"The slave dare not change, the slave must always serve the emperor."

"Go, call the nine princes and princesses to Weiyang Palace. I have something to say. Is the Queen Mother in good health? If she can still move, please come by the way."

"Your majesty, this is..."

"Talk too much, hurry up and ask."

Xiangyun hurriedly went to invite people, turned his head frequently to look at Zhao Xiyan, and when Xiangyun turned back again, his face was already covered with tears.Not long after Xiangyun left, Su Qingshu and Yan Fengjun came together.They saw Zhao Xiyan's haggard figure from a distance, and called him from afar.Hearing their familiar voices, Zhao Xiyan turned his head to see that smile was extraordinarily bright.Several people immediately surrounded Zhao Xiyan. Zhao Xiyan supported the crutch with his left hand, and stretched out his right index finger to make a hook. Everyone hooked their noses and smiled as brightly as they did when they were young.

"You are here, I miss you."

Looking at Zhao Xiyan, who was so sick and haggard, several people suppressed their tears and forcibly smiled.The six of them still have black hair, but their faces are inevitably marked by the years. They have all become great-grandmothers and have many wrinkles.Zhao Xiyan looked at them as if he had returned to his youth.He spent his whole life protecting them and loving them, and every bit of the past few decades is worth reminiscing.He looked at their faces seriously, even after decades of seeing them, he still felt as beautiful as when he first saw them.He stretched out his withered right hand to caress Yan Fengjun's face, and for a moment he thought it was the night when she was newly made a good concubine that year.Then he reached out and touched Su Qingshu's face. This was all the joy he had when he was young, and it was really unforgettable.Then he reached out to touch Ulan Rongruo's face, this face was the youngest, he still remembered the sip of wine that Ulan Rongruo gave him, it was really sweet and intoxicating.Reaching out to touch Wu Qingyao's face, this silly woman probably didn't know yet, but he could actually see it when she kicked a shuttlecock and flopped that day.Then reach out to touch Qiu Ruyu's face, how could someone be so stupid and wait for him for ten years.Zhao Xiyan turned to look at Xia Shuning in the room, this was the most stupid woman in the world.Zhao Xiyan looked into the distance, and he seemed to see Ulanya riding towards him in a red dress with a whip.Ah Ya, do you know that I have missed you all my life.If you haven't fallen in love with me, you should be the proudest princess on the grassland.

Yan Fengjun and Su Qingshu supported Zhao Xiyan back to the room and sat down, Xia Shuning also woke up, and the six gathered around him to recall the past.Today's Zhao Xiyan is much more energetic and talks a lot.It didn't take long for Zhao Xiyan's children to come, as did the Queen Mother, and they set up a palace banquet in Weiyang Palace.Zhao Xiyan sat on the main seat, looking at his mother, sister, brother, son, daughter, grandchildren, very happy.Except for him being happy, everyone's heart was crying and dripping blood.The queen mother dared not look at Zhao Xiyan. She lived to be 80 years old and was very tough, but her child was suffering from illnesses. It was really heartbreaking.Zhao Xiyan's sons and daughters were even more sad, each of them was raised in the arms of their father, who was the mountain and relied on.The father taught by precepts and deeds, and raised them personally. This is something no father in the world can do, but their father did it, and he did it very well.Qi Xing, Qi Rui, and Qi Yu couldn't bear it any longer, their tears had already flowed out, if the father hadn't worried about them, he probably wouldn't have aged so fast.

Zhao Xiyan didn't say anything at the birthday banquet, all the ramblings were to ask them brothers to unite and be respectful, to protect their mothers and sisters, and not to let girls be wronged.Zhao Xiyan even took Qichen's hand and told him that he was the eldest son and elder brother, and he must discipline his younger siblings well in the future.Everyone could tell that this was a deathbed entrustment, and no one could hold back, and wept like rain at the banquet.Qi Yi loved to cry since she was a child, and she was still crying in Zhao Xiyan's arms when she was 14 years old. Zhao Xiyan loved her the most.Back then when Qiyi was seriously ill, Zhao Xiyan hugged him non-stop, even though he was young, he knew that his father loved him like a mountain.Now that the father who loves him the most is like this, he suppressed the tears and forced a smile to make the father happy.Qixu is the strongest, but she can't bear her father's behavior, and holds her sister's hand tightly to prevent herself from crying.Qi Ming was the youngest, and looked straight at Zhao Xiyan, fearing that he would never see him again.

After Zhao Xiyan told his children one by one, he began to tell his only sister and the only remaining King Jin.He also seriously told the queen mother not to worry too much in the future.In the end, Zhao Xiyan told the six women who had accompanied him all his life one by one, all of which were trivial daily routines.Zhao Xiyan knew that his deadline might be today, and he was afraid that he would leave before he had time to say something, so he babbled about everything.He can rest assured of everyone, except the six of them.He spoiled them all his life, coaxed them all his life, loved them all his life, now he has to leave first, and no one will coax them or pamper them again.If they are angry, wronged, or awkward, what should they do?Yan Fengjun, who had always been the strongest, had already collapsed at this moment. She held Zhao Xiyan's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.Once upon a time, these hands were big enough to wrap her hands, and these hands were warm enough to melt her cold heart, but now they are so withered that they are full of bones.

Zhao Xiyan didn't dare to cry, he was afraid that crying would make them uncomfortable, so he just comforted them and let them cry on his fragile body.At night, Zhao Xiyan lay back on the bed in Weiyang Palace, and all his relatives were in the room to accompany him on his last journey.The queen mother sat on Zhao Xiyan's bedside, tears streaming down her face.

"Xi'er, it was my mother who harmed you, it was my mother who harmed you, if it weren't for the selfish decision of my mother back then, you wouldn't, you wouldn't..."

"Mother, don't blame yourself, Xi'er is very satisfied in this life."

"Chao'er, come here!"

Qi Chao walked to Zhao Xiyan's bed with red eyes, knelt down and listened to Zhao Xiyan's words.

"Chao'er, you are the most like Zhen, and you are also like Ning'er. From now on, I will entrust you with the burden of the emperor. The emperor does not ask for anything else. You must treat your brothers and sisters well, you must take good care of your mother, and you must also take good care of everyone." Does the empress know?"

"Chao'er... I know, father..." Qi Chao burst into tears, her grief was unbearable.

"Father spoiled them all their lives, you must take good care of them, you must, you must."

Zhao Xiyan called his sons to the bedside in order of seniority, and everyone explained to him.Nine middle-aged men with beards were crying out of grief.Zhao Xiyan called several daughters to him, and the four daughters had already collapsed from crying, throwing themselves beside the bed.Zhao Xiyan wiped away their tears one by one, saying word by word.

"Father can only protect you so far, and you have to go on your own in the future. If anything goes wrong in the future, Father can no longer comfort you and make decisions for you. Remember to find your brothers and sisters, do you know?"

"Father will live a long life. Father is the emperor, so he won't die."

"Silly boy, people are born, old, sick, and die, from the emperor to the beggar, no one can escape."

Zhao Xiyan summoned the six girls to his side, and he whispered to each of them. Xiangyun sent a big box full of letters and imperial edicts with tears on his face.Zhao Xiyan suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe, so he quickly pulled Xia Shuning to say something.

"Do you remember going to the seaside in Jianzhou that year? I still haven't finished a sentence with you at that time."

"Sir, tell me."

"I only hope that the royal family will not be reborn in the next life. May you be a couple for a lifetime. It is best to be you and me forever. Ning'er, I really love you. I still want to live with you for the rest of my life, but the king of hell wants to come Take me. I owe you so much, and I haven't paid it off yet."

"Sister, Ning'er is satisfied with being loved by you for the rest of his life. In the next life, we will meet again, meet again, know each other again, love each other again, and stay together again. We will never be separated forever."

"Mother! I really want to live, to live..."

The six daughters and the queen mother all grabbed Zhao Xiyan's hand, and at the moment of dawn, Zhao Xiyan let go of his hand after shouting the last word, and died in his mother's arms.His eyes were still wide open, wanting to fight against the world one last time, this time he lost.

"Master!"

"Hee'er!"

"emperor!"

"His Majesty!"

"Father!"

The living people were bursting into tears, and Zhao Xiyan stared wide-eyed with regrets all over his body.How much he wanted to continue living with the one he loved, but who could escape life, old age, sickness and death?

"Your Majesty! Death!"

With tears in his eyes, Xiangyun made the final announcement for Zhao Xiyan.The queen mother watched her child die in her arms, and passed out in grief on the spot.She only hated why it was not herself who died, but her child who had suffered all her life.Qi Rui cried and fed Zhao Xiyan Ningxiang pills to keep his father's body intact.The six girls threw themselves on Zhao Xiyan, crying uncontrollably, all the tears fell on his cold body.At dawn, the six of them had white hair, and their faces were covered with tears.They endured their grief, bathed and changed Zhao Xiyan into new clothes, and placed him in the coffin with their own hands.

Zhao Xiyan left many, many letters and even many imperial decrees during his lifetime.

The first way is to ask the new emperor to honor the Empress Su as the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, the imperial concubine Xia to be promoted as the Empress Xiaoren, the noble concubine Yan to be the Empress Dowager Xiaoren, the noble concubine Yan to be the Empress Dowager, and the noble concubine Wulan to be the Empress Dowager The concubine, the virtuous concubine Qiu's canonized as the noble concubine, and the virtuous concubine Wu as the noble concubine.

The second way is said to be located in Zhao Qichao, the third son of the emperor.

The third way is to respect the Empress Dowager Xia as the Empress Dowager Xiaode.

In the fourth way, Empress Su, Imperial Concubine Xia, Imperial Concubine Yan, Imperial Concubine Wulan, Xianfei Qiu, and Virtuous Concubine Wu were buried together in the Imperial Mausoleum a hundred years later;

Fifth way, the emperor enters the Changling Mausoleum and pardons concubines and concubines to be buried with them. No valuables are buried with them.

Sixth way, the Yuanduan Palace is allocated to the children according to the original yard of their mothers, and the kings of later generations are not allowed to use it to become kings.They are required to come to worship at Zhao Xiyan's birthday every year, and they are not limited to Duanwang's mansion to pay their respects.

Zhao Xiyan knew that he would not live too long since he recovered from his first serious illness, so he always wrote a lot of words to his wife, children and mother intermittently.On the night of Zhao Xiyan's death, auspicious clouds were delivered to them respectively.They cried while watching, full of Zhao Xiyan's reluctance and worry, as well as full of affection.Zhao Xiyan also wrote a [-]-character "Letter to Wife" for Xia Shuning alone. Xia Shuning lay in front of the coffin, stroking Zhao Xiyan's already cold face.On the night of Zhao Xiyan's death, the six girls stayed in front of the coffin and never left. At dawn, the six of them had never been so united and harmonious, and they smiled at each other.Finally, Zhao Xiyan was moved out of the coffin, and the six people held Zhao Xiyan's hand tightly, and died of love by taking poison.

"My lord, how can you be willing to let Qingshu be sad alone?"

"Master, I really miss you, wait for me."

"Your Majesty, now is the time when the flowers are falling. You should meet Feng Jun again. How can you leave alone?"

"Your Majesty, how would you live without Rong Ruo?"

"Your Majesty, Qingyao still has nightmares, I can't sleep well without you here."

"Your Majesty, you haven't finished playing the chess game last time, how can you act foolishly?"

In March of the 43rd year of Tianyuan, Emperor Tianyuan died in Weiyang Palace at the age of 63, and it was said that the third son of the emperor became a prince.

In March of the 43rd year of Tianyuan, Empress Su, Imperial Concubine Xia, Imperial Concubine Yan, Imperial Concubine Wulan, Xian Concubine Qiu, and Virtuous Concubine Wu collapsed in Weiyang Palace because of the reluctance to part with the emperor.

Nine sons and four daughters lost their parents within two days. They cried and fainted several times, crying that their mother was too cruel and abandoned them for their father.Qi Chao cried and arranged their funeral together according to the will left by her father, queen and concubine.Zhao Xiyan had the foresight when he built the imperial tomb, and specially made a coffin that could accommodate eight people and put it in the imperial tomb.According to his father's request, Qi Chao buried them together in the same coffin. Xia Shuning and Zhao Xiyan clasped their fingers together, and the other empresses tied red threads on the middle fingers of their left hands by their biological sons, and then tied them to Zhao Xiyan. On the right hand, they may be reunited in the underworld and never be separated.They lay in Changling's huge coffin, as if they were just asleep, very peaceful.They watched their father and mother lying together, crying so hard that they couldn't help themselves when they closed the coffin.Zhao Xiyan's dragon robe and crown were made by Xia Shuning, the sachet belt was made by Su Qingshu, the boots were made by Yan Fengjun, the jade pendant was made by Wulan Rongruo, the skirt was made by Wu Qingyao, and the court beads were made by Qiu Ruyu.There are no valuables in the Changling Mausoleum, and all the things buried with them are their daily use, small clothes and small toys that the children once wore.The murals in Changling are all about the past of Zhao Xiyan, his wife and children, and their faces when they were young.

After Xiangyun sent Zhao Xiyan off for the last journey, he committed suicide in Changling, and left a letter telling the new emperor to go down to serve the late emperor.

Yinger, the eldest daughter of Fengqi Palace, committed suicide in Changling.

Ruoshui, the eldest maid of Weiyang Palace, committed suicide in Changling.

Ruozhu, the chief executive of Weiyang Palace, committed suicide in Changling.

Chen Zhaorong was reluctant to give up the late emperor and committed suicide in Feishuang Palace.

In March of the sixth year of Shaoyuan, the eleventh son of the emperor was born in Xianfu Palace. His birth mother was the noble concubine Xia, named Zhao Xiyan.

In April of the seventh year of Shaoyuan, Xia Shi, the second son and daughter of the Xiahou Mansion, was born in the capital of the academy, named Xia Shuning.

In September of the seventh year of Shaoyuan, Su Shi, the eldest daughter of Su Xiangfu, was born in Xiangfu, named Su Qingshu.

In December of the sixth year of Shaoyuan, Yan, the eldest son and only daughter of the Yan family in Suning, was born in Liangtian Village, Qili Town, named Yan Fengjun.

In April of the 14th year of Shaoyuan, Ulan, the second daughter of the Nine Princes of Mobei, was born in the Nine Princes' Mansion of Mobei, named Ulan Rongruo.

In September of the seventh year of Shaoyuan, Ulan, the sixth princess of Mobei, was born in the Khan Palace, named Ulanya.

In July of the seventh year of Shaoyuan, Wu, the eldest daughter of the Wu family in Gusu, was born in Wu's Mansion in Suzhou, named Wu Qingyao.

In January of the seventh year of Shaoyuan, the Qiu family, a businessman in the capital, was born in the Qiu residence in the south of the capital, named Qiu Ruyu.

In the 43rd year of Tianyuan, Emperor Tianyuan passed away, empress Su's death, imperial concubine Xia's death, noble concubine Yan's death, noble concubine Wulan's death, virtuous concubine Qiu's death, and virtuous concubine Wu's death.

The third son of the emperor inherited the Tianyuan Great Treasure, and changed it to Yuan Xining the following year, declaring that the merits of the former emperor should be remembered by future generations.The merits of Emperor Tianyuan were passed down by word of mouth, but what is more impressive than his political achievements is the love story between Emperor Tianyuan and the empresses.The "Letter to His Wife" written by Emperor Tianyuan himself and presented to the imperial concubine was very popular, and everyone who saw it shed tears.Emperor Xining led his brothers and sisters to sacrifice to the late emperor every year, crying and dying in front of Changling every year.The homes of the nine kings and the four princesses enshrine the portraits of the late emperor and their biological mothers, and burn incense and pray every day.

When Qi Chao was old on the throne, when he went to Changling for the last time, he was very happy to tell Zhao Xiyan that he had lived up to his trust.The brothers did not quarrel, and lived in harmony for a lifetime.Daqi has never fought a war in his hands, and it is a peaceful and prosperous world.The nine sons and four daughters all understood that when the father was alive, he went through wind and rain and cleared away all obstacles, and they were able to live a stable life.Poor parents in the world.It's a pity that they lived their whole lives without knowing that the father who gave birth to them was a woman.

Zhao Xiyan left the world with regrets all over his body. He was a good emperor, good son, good husband, good father, and good brother, but he failed to be himself.There is a set of women's clothing in the funeral, which was made by the queen mother and put in by herself.It's a pity that Zhao Xiyan can't wear it anymore, and he hasn't worn it in his life.

That year, the capital city was full of red makeup, and the city was full of joy, but the young man in fresh clothes and angry horse was full of despondency.

That year, half of the tea villages were dressed in red, but the only village was jubilant, and the young man was dressed in red and his face was full of joy.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Bye husband and wife!"

"Ning'er."

"Master."
