Chapter 18 The second spring
Section 4 Don’t worry about
Empress Dowager Feng of the Taihuang clan trained Emperor Xiaowen for many years, especially after major reforms such as salary system, equal field system and three-legged system , she believed that Emperor Xiaowen's mind was indeed strong, and she understood and admired Confucius' culture, and also recognized the ideas elaborated in the "Song of Advice" and "Emperor of the Emperor", the theory and ideas of governing the country and benefiting the people. It was also prosperous and remarkable when implemented, and it was even more impressive. There were even many operating methods that convinced the Empress Dowager. He really felt that the Empress Dowager was better than the Emperor. The Empress Dowager was so happy about this. However, the Empress Dowager will still have doubts under certain circumstances and at some point, and many questions will appear in her mind. Even for an idea that she must not say, it disturbs her dream, making it difficult for her to close her eyes again after waking up.
If the little worry that the Empress Dowager pressed on her heart really exists, it will become the root of disaster, just like a tall palace, with the most difficult pillar being eaten by the borer, just like a thousand-mile embankment, there is a cave of ant , which is soaked in water. This kind of disaster that seems to be invisible will cause a disaster once there is a problem, and the sky collapses and the earth is sinking. It must not be underestimated.
The Empress Dowager was most worried about was Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong How did he worry about the death of his father and mother? Could it be that he was completely open-minded? Did you temporarily put it in a corner of your heart? Still haven't forgotten at all, burning like firewood every moment. He just used strong restraint to stabilize his emotions for the sake of the overall situation? So what is his overall situation? Is it a hard-earned prosperous era? Is it the success of the reform that comes from the cost of blood? If it weren't for this, would his overall situation be just to save his throne? If this is the case, it would be terrible. Once the time is ripe, will Emperor Xiaowen take action against her? The Empress Dowager was scared and sweated.
Of course, the Empress Dowager was not an ordinary woman after all. The genes given by her noble bloodline, the wisdom given by her aunt Feng Zhaoyi , the knowledge given by Emperor Wencheng, the dreams given by Li Yi, the fulfillment given by Wang Rui, the tacit understanding given by Li Chong , the support given by all the civil and military officials in the court during her administration has made her very strong and confident. She will not be too fragile tolerant because of a dream or an assumption, or the Great Wall built in her heart collapsed.
After a few dreams, the Empress Dowager's state was as old as before, and her style of conduct had not changed. She treated the emperor, ministers, and those around her who never left her. Everything was still good, and the flowers were full of full moon. However, she secretly made an appointment with a eunuch beside the emperor. The eunuch was indeed the Empress Dowager's man, but she had never arranged a confidential task for him. She repeatedly told him to take good care of the emperor's body, and the emperor was everyone's hope. This time, the Empress Dowager said that the Emperor would tell her every word and deed. Although the matter was done tightly and Emperor Xiaowen did not notice it at all, the Empress Dowager did not receive any "useful" news. There are only two possibilities: one is that the emperor is too powerful and powerful, and there is no clue. The other is that the empress dowager is thinking too much and has made some big fuss. Feng was drinking tea and was alone in a daze. After hearing the news, she did not respond for a while. After the little eunuch left for a long time, she suddenly laughed loudly.The personal palace maid asked in confusion: "Grandma Huang, why do you laugh?"
"Hahaha, the Ai family is happy, and they can often laugh out loud, don't you scare you? Hahaha------"
The Empress Dowager is not the sentence that follows the "gentleman opens and honest" in "The Analects of Confucius", "The villain is always worried", and he can't get along with himself. What she was worried about was of course in Emperor Xiaowen. No matter how cruel and ruthless the system of "son and mother die" is, Tuoba Hong's biological mother, Mrs. Li, died at the hands of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager can forget, the women in the harem can forget, and everyone will no longer mention this matter, but Emperor Xiaowen will not forget, unless he is a fool, frightened by his parents' death, and the young man is demented, otherwise how could he forget it? The Supreme Emperor died after taking poison, which is always a mystery. The Supreme Emperor couldn't think of it anymore, and walked a path of no return, passed away forever and said goodbye to this boring and fearful world. Based on Tuoba Hong's understanding, the Supreme Emperor's heart is indeed not strong enough, and he lives a tiring life. The things he does are indeed puzzling. For example, he is tired of beauties and is interested in boys. For example, he will not do a good emperor anymore and will give it to Tuoba Zitui. For example, he abdicated the throne, and he will be the Supreme Emperor, and hold the imperial power in his hands again, etc., are all unexpected things that can make the public opinion of the civil and military in the court "boil". But the strong father-son relationship made him unwilling to believe that the Supreme Emperor committed suicide by taking poison. He would rather believe that as people say they were poisoned to death.
The Empress Dowager designed to poison the Supreme Emperor, but Emperor Xiaowen refused to believe it. The reason why the Empress Dowager poisoned the Emperor is insufficient, for the sake of imperial power? For the sake of imperial power, the Empress Dowager would not take the initiative to return the power to the Emperor. It is reasonable for Li Yi's death, but after Li Yi died for several years, the Empress Dowager did not take action. Why did he take action after the Empress Dowager's injured heart was comforted? That is for the current tense situation. It is also tense to be nervous. The whole city is martial law, and it is not nervous to be nervous at all. The military power is in the hands of the Supreme Emperor. If the Supreme Emperor is unhappy, it is easy to kill the Supreme Emperor and it is reasonable. The Supreme Emperor gives the Supreme Emperor poison, and it is in the Supreme Emperor's palace. There are eighteen reasons why the Supreme Emperor does not need to drink it. Of course, this matter can be investigated. No matter how difficult the case is, it will be clear as soon as , the Ministry of Justice is investigated, but Emperor Xiaowen cannot investigate this case, and he cannot even raise questions. This case has only one destination, that is, it is forever hanged in the heart of Emperor Xiaowen. Let him think about it whenever he has time and go to tent.
For this, Emperor Xiaowen's heart has never been comfortable.
Emperor Xiaowen remembered one thing: the Supreme Emperor was hunting in the forest with him. The Supreme Emperor likes a game, which is to let the eagle he fed in the forest and let the eagle hunt freely. That time, the eagle came back shortly after it was released, holding a mandarin duck. The mandarin duck was thrown underground by it, and it was still struggling to death, with its wings swaying. The entourage, the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Xiaowen watched this scene and cheered for the eagle trained by the Supreme Emperor. At this time, there was a colorful bird in the sky, hovering above his head with a sad cry, and its screams were very miserable. Hearing this sound, the eagle flapped its wings and prepared to attack, but was stopped by the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor asked, "So, why?"
The guards replied, "I think the mandarin duck that is about to die underground must be a female. The one who came to it was its companion, a male mandarin duck."
The Supreme Emperor asked Emperor Xiaowen, "What do the emperor think?"
Tuoba Hong replied, "It's so miserable. Unfortunately, the female bird can no longer be saved. Their originally loving companion will never be reunited from now on." As he was speaking, the colorful bird fell to the ground and vomited blood and died. The atmosphere at that time suddenly became solemn.
The next day, the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor issued an edict to release the eagle into the mountains and forests. From now on, the Great Wei Dynasty will not be allowed to raise beasts that are aggressive to natural animals. Moreover, the eagle master Cao, who specializes in raising eagles and training eagles for the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor, was disbanded.
Emperor Xiaowen couldn't help but cry like rain when he thought of this. So he ordered the general manager to prepare the chariot, and he wanted to go to the forest where the Supreme Emperor let the falcon fly. Now that forest has grown to cover the sky and the sun, and is lush and bustling, it is a great place to take shelter from the summer and cool off. Emperor Xiaowen suddenly had an idea, and he wanted to personally submit a request to the Empress Dowager.
Emperor Xiaowen Tuoba Hong asked the Empress Dowager to say, "I found a good place in the mountains and forests in the suburbs. I asked the Empress Dowager to move to see it. In order to be grateful to the Empress Dowager for his great achievements to the Great Wei Dynasty and his kindness to me, I wanted to build a Baode Buddhist Temple here. Please be kind to the Empress Dowager."
Soon, a temple was completed in the green forest. The four golden characters "Baodian Temple" written by Emperor Xiaowen shined above the temple. The Empress Dowager personally attended the temple consecration ceremony . From the smile of the Empress Dowager, we can see that she is very happy today, with the kind of excitement that comes from the heart and cannot be suppressed.
The Empress Dowager was unaware of it. This temple was thankful to the Empress Dowager in this name. Emperor Xiaowen's starting point was to commemorate his early death, Mrs. Li and the Emperor who died inexplicably.
