Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 113

Emperor Shaoyuan and King Xin died on the same day, Zhao Xiyan arranged their coffins and cleaned up the mess.Zhao Xiyan didn't want to leave future troubles, so he killed all the officials who were attached to the deposed prince, and cleaned up the court.After the bloodbath in the palace, Zhao Xiyan ordered the cremation of these soldiers who died in battle, whether they were enemies or friends.The soldiers who died in battle under his command were all given funeral silver according to their rank and merit.Soon, the dead bodies and dead horses in the capital were piled up together, and they were cleaned up without a trace of blood left. It was as if nothing had happened to the Daqi Palace.Daqi Palace became tidy and clean again, covered with white mourning silk, and even the palace lanterns were replaced with white.Zhao Xiyan was dressed in filial piety, kneeling in the Daqi ancestral hall, in front of him was the coffin of Emperor Shaoyuan.After Zhao Xiyan cleaned up the mess, he handed over the rest to Su Xiang and Zhenbeihou. He knelt in this ancestral hall, surrounded by Emperor Shaoyuan's concubines, crying.Zhao Xiyan was upset by their crying. At this time, the imperial concubine Xia walked up behind Zhao Xiyan and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"My son has worked hard."

"Mother, it's all over."

"Sure enough, you did not disappoint your mother. You have always been a good child of your mother."

But Zhao Xiyan suddenly turned around and hugged Concubine Xia's waist, and began to cry, as sad as a child.

"The child will not have a father from now on!"

Concubine Xia touched his head with distress, "You still have a mother, a younger sister, a wife and children. You are not alone."

Zhao Xiyan still couldn't stop crying, like a child relying on his mother, he hugged Concubine Xia's waist tightly and wept.Although his father was a bad man, a demon who slaughtered brothers and brothers, he was his biological father, his blood flowed on him, and he was once a loving father who loved him so much.He left and left the most cherished thing in his life to himself. From now on, he will have no father.

Su Xiang walked to the door dressed in mourning and was moved to see Zhao Xiyan so sad.He is also a person with sons and daughters, so he really feels the pain.But now the crying child in front of him is about to become the king of Daqi, and he still has to endure the pain of losing his father to deal with state affairs.Su Xiang was very sad and walked up to Zhao Xiyan, bowing his body.

"Your Highness, the ministers are waiting for you to discuss the enthronement ceremony."

Zhao Xiyan got up from Concubine Xia's arms, Concubine Xia wiped away tears for him with distress, Zhao Xiyan endured the grief and followed Su Xiang away.He knew that no one would be able to protect him from now on, and he had to rely on himself for everything.Before Zhao Xiyan went in to discuss the enthronement ceremony with the ministers, he ordered Shi Jiang to lead three thousand troops to Qinzhou to welcome his wife, children and sister back.Zhao Xiyan had no objection, everything in the enthronement ceremony should be done according to the ancestral system, emphasizing that there should be no extravagance and waste.But on the matter of canonizing the queen, Zhao Xiyan did not agree for a long time.On the surface, Su Qingshu is Princess Duan, Zhao Xiyan was canonized as the prince, and Su Qingshu is the princess.Now that Zhao Xiyan wants to ascend the throne as emperor, he naturally wants to make Su Qingshu the queen.But Zhao Xiyan wanted to make Xia Shuning the queen, but this was totally against etiquette.Apart from having no heirs under his knees, Su Qingshu has not violated any of the seven outlaws. He has a noble background, and Su Xiang is a great hero with the merits of a dragon.In any case, it is right to make Su Qingshu a queen.But Zhao Xiyan has a lump in his heart, and he doesn't want to make Su Qingshu his queen.No matter what the ministers said, Zhao Xiyan didn't make a statement.Su Xiang was a little embarrassed, and Zhao Xiyan could see it.Zhao Xiyan had a stalemate with the officials for a long time, and finally opened his mouth and canonized the crown princess Su as the main palace queen, the side concubine Xia as the imperial concubine, and the side concubine Qiu as the virtuous concubine, and posthumously named the late Duanhe Wangfei (the sixth princess of Mobei) ) for Duanhe Huangguifei.Zhao Xiyan personally drew up the titles of his mother, concubine and younger sister, and conferred the titles of Concubine Xia Huanggui as the Empress Dowager, the Holy Mother of Xiaoxian, and Princess Sixteen Roujia as Princess Jing and Princess Dachang.

Zhao Xiyan is not very happy, you can see it.But the ministers felt that the crown prince might be sad because of the emperor's death, and even Su Xiang felt the same way, and didn't blame Zhao Xi for not expressing his opinion just now.On the contrary, I feel that Zhao Xiyan is extremely filial and deeply affectionate with Emperor Shaoyuan and his son.The death of Emperor Shaoyuan did not yet have a posthumous title, and it was hard to say how King Xin would deal with it. Zhao Xiyan had to be consulted for everything.Although Emperor Shaoyuan was not in the right position and did not make much achievements in his reign, he was still diligent in governing and caring for the people during his reign.Zhao Xiyan took a brush and wrote on the piece of paper "Respect Heaven, Filial Piety, Benevolence, Diligence, Sincerity, Compassion, Sacred Merit, Great Accomplished Emperor".From then on, Emperor Shaoyuan had a posthumous title, and later generations called him Emperor Zhang.Although Zhao Xiyan had a deep blood feud with the deposed prince, he was his elder brother after all, and he did not listen to his father's words and spare his life.Zhao Xiyan only ordered the Ministry of Rites to honor King Xin with the funeral ceremony of the prince, and the posthumous title of King Xin was determined by the Ministry of Rites.In order to please the new king, the Ministry of Rites gave Zhao Chengyan a word of cruelty.This word can be said to devalue King Xin's life to nothing.Zhao Xiyan didn't care, and just used it without changing it.In the end, it was to discuss Zhao Xiyan's reign after he ascended the throne. All the officials in the court quarreled and argued endlessly.On the contrary, Zhao Xiyan didn't pay much attention to it, it was just a year name, so there was no need to make it so complicated.The Marquis of Zhenbei inspected Duodu, walked up to him and sang his praises. Zhao Xiyan went to Mobei at the age of 17 and defeated the 30 army in Mobei. , Cleared up the achievements of the ruling and opposition parties.The first emperor's year name was "Shaoyuan", and Zhao Xiyan's contribution was greater than that of Shaoyuan Emperor, so it is better to set the year name as "Tianyuan." As soon as this remark was made, all the officials agreed.Seeing their flattery, Zhao Xiyan felt a little sick to his stomach, but didn't say anything.From then on, Zhao Xiyan became Emperor Tianyuan of Daqi.The enthronement and Emperor Zhang's funeral were all discussed, so Zhao Xiyan acted as the shopkeeper and left the matter to the ministers.

Qinzhou is only a day's journey away from the capital, and soon Shi Jiang brought Zhao Xiyan's heart and soul back to the capital.This time they did not return to the Duan Palace, but were directly invited into the palace.A group of women can return to Beijing safely, and they all know that the world now belongs to Zhao Xiyan.They can't go back to Prince Duan's Mansion, and they will live in the palace in the future.Zhao Xiyan knew that Xia Shuning and the others had returned, and had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time.As the carriage got closer and closer, Zhao Xiyan's heart became more and more surging.When the carriage stopped, Xia Shuning hugged Zhao Muning and got out of the carriage. Zhao Xiyan almost rushed over and hugged Xia Shuning tightly.

"Sir, I'm back."

"Just come back, just come back."

Zhao Xiyan ignored everyone's gazes and just hugged Xia Shuning.These days, he really misses her so much that he is almost crushed like a scourge.Fortunately, his good medicine returned to him in time and gave him peace of mind in time.Zhao Muning was young, so he didn't understand his father's thoughts. He waved his small hand and hit Zhao Xiyan on the neck several times.Only then did Zhao Xiyan wake up from Xia Shuning's arms, and took her into his arms.

"Did Mu Ning miss his father?"

"Muning misses his father. He always cries in the middle of the night and keeps calling Daddy."

Zhao Xiyan rubbed the tip of his nose against Zhao Muning's little nose, making her nose itch and giggling.At this time, Su Qingshu and Qiu Ruyu had arrived with two boys, and Qi Rui was clamoring to be hugged by his father, Zhao Xiyan finally realized it.Zhao Xiyan knew that one should not treat one more favorably than another, so he put Zhao Muning back into Xia Shuning's arms, and squatted down to talk to the two boys.Zhao Xiyan didn't rest well, worried all day long, his eyes were blue and haggard and thin.Zhao Xiyan picked up the two boys together with both hands. Fortunately, Zhao Xiyan did not stop practicing martial arts, otherwise it would be really difficult for two such big children to hold together.The two boys hadn't seen their father for a long time, and they hugged Zhao Xiyan's neck tightly.Zhao Xiyan also enjoys this kind of time very much, the children depend on him.He no longer has a father, and he loves the children even more. He secretly made up his mind not to imitate his father, but to show more love to the children.When Su Qingshu got out of the carriage, seeing the person whom he missed so much was so haggard and thin, his heart ached terribly.I really want to throw myself into his arms and ask him if everything is okay?But the man ran excitedly, but instead of embracing himself, he hugged two women into his arms and told her all his thoughts.She was so envious of Xia Shuning, to the point of jealousy.Qiu Ruyu's eyes were filled with tears, she was always worried that the farewell would be forever.Seeing that this person has lost so much weight now, I feel even more bitter.

Zhao Xiyan didn't talk nonsense, and brought his wife and children into the palace.Zhao Xiyan's spirit has been tense these days, but when he suddenly saw Ning'er and the children, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.Zhao Xiyan has not yet ascended the throne, and many things are not ready.Zhao Xiyan threw his backyard all over his mother and concubine, and let them all live in Xianfu Palace.Zhao Xiyan's family had never been this lively before. Concubine Xia was holding Zhao Muning in her arms, and the two boys surrounded her knees and called out to the emperor's grandmother.Imperial Concubine Xia seemed to have smiled the smile she hadn't smiled in her entire life, but now she laughed.Han Qiuyi was also in Xianfu Palace, when she saw Zhao Qichen, she felt inexplicably close and familiar.She was really envious. If her children were still alive, there would probably be more children than eleven.Seeing Han Qiuyi's sentimentality, Zhao Xiyan brought Qiu Ruyu and Zhao Qichen into an empty room and invited Han Qiuyi.

"Eleven, what do you want to tell me?"

"I'm going to give Han Niangniang a surprise!"

"You rehabilitated Thirteen, which is the best surprise for my mother."

"This is a big surprise, you have to bear it."

"You said."

"In this house, there are your daughter-in-law and grandson. My eldest son Zhao Qichen is not my own child, but was born when Shisan and Ruyu were in love. Back then, in order to keep Shisan's only blood, I made my own Advocating marrying Ruyu as a side concubine, she has treated her like a guest on the surface for many years, but in fact she is her elder brother and sister-in-law. I am ashamed for not being able to save my thirteenth brother on Eleventh!"

"What you said is true!"

"Eleven dare not lie to Lady Han. Back then Thirteen and I were young, and went to the market to play during the Qixi Festival. Thirteen fell in love and met Ruyu. But Ruyu is just a commoner, and a lowly merchant. Thirteen I dare not tell you anymore, for fear that you would...so I set up a courtyard to meet her often in private. After the Shisan incident happened, Eleven hid her away. And now it's here!"

"Thank you, Ma'am!"

Han Qiuyi was about to kneel down, but Zhao Xiyan helped her up.Zhao Xiyan pushed open the door and brought Han Qiuyi in. Zhao Qichen didn't know who Han Qiuyi was, but Zhao Xiyan was his father. When he saw Zhao Xiyan, he ran to him and wanted to salute Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan didn't let him salute.

"Qichen, please greet grandma quickly."

"grandmother?"

In Zhao Qichen's mind, Zhao Xiyan was his father, and Imperial Concubine Xia was his grandmother.But the father suddenly asked himself to bow to the woman in front of him, and said that the woman was his grandmother, which was really confusing.Zhao Xiyan saw Zhao Qichen's confusion, squatted in front of him, and patiently explained to him.

"She is your grandpa's imperial concubine, so you have to call her grandmother and pay her respects. This is to respect the elders, you know?"

"The boy knows."

"Grandson Qichen pays respects to grandmother."

"Good boy, good boy, come quickly to grandmother."

Han Qiuyi burst into tears, and hugged Zhao Qichen tightly in his arms, feeling very sad.Zhao Xiyan gave her such a rare and priceless surprise.Zhao Xiyan stood up and patted Qiu Ruyu's shoulder.Qiu Ruyu has been raised in Duanwang's mansion for so many years, and she has been raised very shrewdly. She can tell at a glance that the imperial concubine in front of her is Zhao Xiyan's biological mother.Zhao Xiyan had been reduced to ashes a long time ago. Now that his biological mother was standing in front of him, holding their flesh and blood, how could she not feel sad?Zhao Xiyan didn't want to disturb their real family reunion, so he wanted to get out and leave time for them.Who knew that Qiu Ruyu was so bold for the first time, grabbing Zhao Xiyan's wrist and not letting him go.Zhao Xiyan turned his head and gave her a comforting look, patted her on the shoulder and went out.
