Chapter 1092 1093 [Screaming into the blue clouds]
"I still remember that when my father and mother chose you as their concubine, I was still a little unhappy. At that time, I was arrogant and always felt that a woman from a small family would not have any influence on my future.
It was helpful. Later I realized that apart from the throne, the greatest luck in this life is to be able to walk hand in hand with you."
Emperor Kaiping's words were very calm, but the deep feeling contained in them made Concubine Wu burst into tears.
She lamented: "Your Majesty, I am so lucky to be able to serve you. I only regret that twenty-six years is too short..."
Emperor Kaiping sighed: "I...isn't it like this? It's just that the weather doesn't stop, and I can't do anything about it."
Although Concubine Wu is not yet the queen, everyone inside and outside the palace knows that this is just because His Majesty the Emperor really cannot insist on taking care of things. After a period of time, Liu Xian will respect her as the Queen Mother after he ascends the throne. At that time, she will still be the most powerful queen in the world.
A noble woman.
However, such an extremely honorable woman did not care about her appearance and manners at this moment. She knelt down beside the couch and held Emperor Kaiping's wrist tightly, unwilling to let go for a moment.
Emperor Kaiping stared at her eyebrows and said softly: "After my death, don't be too sad. Liu Xian still needs your protection. Ah Yu, I want to tell you that I have been hypocritical and submissive to many people in my life."
At this time, I have never deceived you except you."
"Your Majesty, I know this, I understand..."
Concubine Wu's body couldn't stop trembling.
Emperor Kaiping smiled slightly and said softly: "Ayu, I will feel at ease if you live a long life. Every year on my death anniversary, remember to talk to me."
Concubine Wu was crying until she lost her voice and could only keep nodding her head.
Emperor Kaiping raised his hand with difficulty, slowly reached to Concubine Wu's cheek, and caressed her with great affection.
"well……"
He let out a long sigh, his eyes slightly moist.
…
"Your Majesty decreed that Pei Yue, the Marquis of Zhongshan, should enter!"
The Minister of Internal Affairs knew that Hou Yu's slightly sharp voice sounded, and all the princes in the court turned their heads to look.
Pei Yue kept his eyes straight, straightened his clothes subconsciously, and then walked towards the emperor's bedroom.
The distance was not long, only more than twenty feet, but to Pei Yue, it felt like he had seen all the past along the way.
After coming out of Hengduan Mountain, he stepped into the court for the first time and truly entered the core of power in this world. On that day, he stood at the end of the civil and military officials, only a stone's throw away from the gate of Chengtian Palace, as if he would be there at any time.
He was kicked out of this core. At that time, he could only vaguely see the middle-aged man in a dragon robe in the distance, and he couldn't even see his face clearly.
The first time he went to see Sheng Ze in private was before he left Beijing to manage the honeycomb coal mines in various places. He and Luo Ting entered the palace together and felt up close the grace of the monarch and his ministers, as well as the Emperor Kaiping's heart as deep as the sea.
As the years passed by, he became more and more familiar with the middle-aged man, and became more and more open-minded in front of him. Whether it was the performance in the imperial study or the gossip by the Taiye Pond, it unknowingly became incomprehensible to ordinary people.
The relationship between monarch and ministers.
Ask yourself, if it were not for Emperor Kaiping, he would not be what he is today. In the past, the emperor had suppressed and reprimanded him, but after reading too many stories about the discord between emperors and ministers, Pei Yue had to admit,
The emperor really treated him differently.
Therefore, he still couldn't determine how much of his long journey through mountains and rivers and starry night to return from northern Xinjiang was for the sake of the country, and how much of him was worried about the aloof king.
It’s hard to think about, how can you not think about it.
After entering the dormitory, the sadness on Pei Yue's face became more intense.
Although Concubine Wu had simply tidied up, her red and swollen eyes still could not hide the sadness in her heart. Prince Liu Xian stood aside silently, as if he had not noticed Pei Yue's arrival, and just kept staring at his father on the dragon bed.
Emperor Kaiping's eyes stopped on Pei Yue after he came in, and said slowly: "I was a little hesitant before, whether I should ask you to come alone, or let the rest of the Qing family come to bear witness for you."
This sentence had no beginning or end, but Pei Yue instantly understood what the emperor meant.
Even when he was dying, Emperor Kaiping's thinking was still very clear.
If he lets all the important officials in the outer palace come in, he will naturally have to make Pei Yue swear an oath in front of those civil and military officials to loyally support the Emperor of Liang from now on.
No matter what Pei Yue thinks in his heart, he can only be a loyal minister in the future.
Of course, like Wang Pingzhang, he could also take the path of being a powerful official or even usurper, but Wang Pingzhang had already proved to him with his head that this path was unworkable.
In this era, if one's righteousness is compromised, it will never be supported by the majority of people.
The teacher has a famous name, but he is covered in blood and bones.
But Emperor Kaiping did not do this. At the last moment of his life, he chose to let Pei Yue feel better.
Whether it was trust or confidence, Pei Yue didn't know. He looked at the emperor's pale face and silently knelt down to salute.
Emperor Kaiping did not stop him like before. He quietly looked at Pei Yue, who was meticulously saluting, and said softly: "You are very good."
After Pei Yue finished his salute, he stood up without waiting for Emperor Kaiping's permission. The emperor did not become angry because of this, but his eyes became increasingly happy.
Pei Yue met the emperor's gaze and said: "Your Majesty, I have made it this far as a concubine. Without your care and protection, I would never have been able to do it. I... I have also complained about your Majesty, but over the years, I have always remembered your Majesty.
My grace will never be forgotten in the future. No matter when, where or under what circumstances, I will keep this in mind."
Emperor Kaiping felt that the vitality in his body was passing away rapidly. At this moment, he could no longer nod. He could only blink and said: "I believe you."
Pei Yue bowed his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the world will be unified, and Daliang will have a truly prosperous age. I will do my best to make the people on this land live a better life, and try my best to keep them away from hunger and cold.
and the threat of disaster. I cannot guarantee whether the reincarnation in the history books will appear again, but I will definitely work towards that goal in my lifetime."
He did not mention the future of the new king, nor did he mention whether the status of the Liu family could be permanent. He only talked about the common people, and the people of the world.
Emperor Kaiping smiled with difficulty and said in a low voice: "I hope you can fulfill your wish."
Pei Yue looked at the emperor steadily, his eyes slightly red.
Emperor Kaiping said slowly: "In my life, I have seen all the evil in people's hearts, but I am only glad that I did not misjudge you, and that I was not swallowed up by suspicion and suspicion. Pei Yue, I am going to die, and I will not be able to see with my own eyes the arrival of the prosperous age you mentioned.
I am a little unwilling. But I also know that most people are not happy when things go their way. Compared with those people, I am much luckier..."
He looked at the void above his head, and one face after another, either clear or blurry, appeared in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Wu immediately leaned aside. Liu Xian looked at Hou Yu in the corner, who hurriedly walked out.
Pei Yue seemed unaware and just looked at Emperor Kaiping and said: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Kaiping said quietly: "I have thought about what Shen Shen Yun said over and over again these days, and I am tired of thinking about it. I don't want to think about it anymore. Maybe I did do something wrong, but I am worthy of my ancestors. In the spring and autumn of heaven and earth."
He said word for word: "The merits and demerits of right and wrong will be left to future generations to comment."
The sound of hasty footsteps rang quickly, and the civil and military ministers who had stayed in the outer hall quickly filed in, and then looked sadly at the dying Emperor Kaiping on the dragon bed. Many people could no longer suppress their cries.
Emperor Kaiping looked at everyone and said: "After my death, Prince Liu Xian will inherit the great treasure, and the noble concubine Wu will be the empress dowager."
All the important ministers bowed, and the whole hall cried out in mourning: "I obey the decree."
Emperor Kaiping finally looked at Pei Yue, raised his hand with the help of Concubine Wu, and said angrily: "Pei Yue, I leave my posthumous affairs to you..."
Pei Yue knelt down again and saluted: "My lord, accept the decree."
The hand finally fell.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Wu cried out.
"Father!" Prince Liu Xian whined incessantly.
"His Majesty!"
All the important civil and military ministers in the palace were wailing.
The big bell in the palace suddenly rang, the sound was sad and solemn.
The cries of grief surged like a tide, and Pei Yue looked at the middle-aged man on the dragon bed who would never wake up again. He seemed to be in a noisy and noisy world, with people coming and going around him, but he just stared blankly.
This man has passed away, and an era has come to an end.
