Chapter 1529: Hongde People Are Old
A few days later, the coffin of Emperor Wu was placed in the underground palace of Zhaoling Mausoleum, and Emperor Jianlong led the civil and military officials to bid farewell to Emperor Wu.
It is worth mentioning that after Emperor Wu was buried in the underground palace, it was not completely sealed because Empress Dowager Sun was still there and she, as his first wife, would be buried with him in Zhaoling Mausoleum in the future.
The underground palace of Zhaoling will be completely sealed only after Empress Dowager Sun is buried in Zhaoling.
On the second day after the emperor's coffin was placed in the mausoleum, Shen Yi brought Gu Hengbo, who was picked up from the palace, back to the imperial mausoleum. In the memorial hall, this Pipa Jue knelt in front of Emperor Wu's spirit for a long time without speaking.
It takes great courage for a person to seek death.
As the saying goes, "the first effort is the best, the second is weaker." After Huifei failed in her suicide attempts several times, she had already lost all will to die.
Shen Yi was standing behind her, and at the entrance of the Xian Palace was the eunuch Gao Minggao, whose hair was almost completely white.
Gao Ming will stay here and guard the tomb of Emperor Wu until the end of his life.
Shen Yi looked back at Gao Ming, then bowed his head slightly and said, "Eunuch Gao, go and pour a glass of water for Concubine Hui."
Gao Ming knew that Shen Yi was trying to get him away, so he didn't say much and turned around and left silently.
Shen Yi held his hands in front of him, looked at Concubine Hui who was kneeling on the ground, and asked silently: "Concubine, when we were in Jiankang..."
"Are you against Emperor Wu..."
"Have you used medicine?"
Concubine Hui turned around suddenly and looked at Shen Yi, who had a calm expression.
She was a little panicked at first, then a little angry, clenched her fists and said, "Use it."
"Lord Shen, do you want to avenge His Majesty?"
After Shen Yi said this, she seemed to no longer be crazy, and she became sober. She looked at Shen Yi straight in the eye and said, "Then do it."
"It's just right. I will be buried with your majesty!"
Shen Yi shook his head silently and said, "Wu... Your Majesty himself did not blame you, so it is not my turn to avenge Your Majesty. I just want to ask you, what medicine did you use at the beginning."
Concubine Hui gritted her teeth and said, "Lord Shen knows where I came from. Do you still need to ask?"
Shen Yi was silent.
Although Concubine Hui did not say it explicitly, she still confirmed his guess.
aphrodisiac.
And it should be the kind with stronger power.
Concubine Hui was born in Qinhuai River, so she naturally understood this aspect. She was also more relaxed in bed, or had stronger professional skills.
It's not surprising that she used drugs to win favor.
Therefore, Emperor Hongde basically spent most of his time in her palace when he was young and strong.
This is also the reason why there were almost no children in the harem for a long time.
At this point, the mystery in Shen Yi's heart was finally solved. He looked up at the throne of Emperor Hongde and sighed, "Since His Majesty doesn't blame you, let's forget about it."
"I have one more thing I want to ask you, Madam."
Concubine Hui was in low spirits and gritted her teeth and said, "Just ask."
"In the 19th year of Hongde, His Majesty was assassinated while offering sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai. This incident..."
Shen Yi looked at Concubine Hui steadily: "Does the Queen know about this?"
Concubine Hui shook her head: "I only know that your majesty is injured, and I don't know anything else."
Shen Yi was silent.
He had checked this matter before.
Although there is no definite evidence, it is almost certain that it came from within the imperial court, not the Qingjing Division.
It is most likely the Empress Dowager Sun who has passed away due to illness.
However, that night, even Emperor Hongde was injured. If it was really done by Empress Dowager Sun, she was a little too cruel.
Lord Shen closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then opened his eyes and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have no other questions. After paying respects to His Majesty, I will send someone to take you to the Prince of Fu's Mansion in Fuzhou."
He paused and said, "Your Majesty has spent a lot of energy to cover up what happened back then. When you arrive in Fuzhou, you must not mention the incident to Prince Fu, lest you and your son fall out and your Majesty suffer for the rest of her life."
Honestly speaking, if it weren't for Gu Hengbo's background, given the emperor's favor for her and her son, and the fact that Empress Sun had no legitimate son for so many years, the possibility of Prince Fu ascending the throne would have been very high.
However, Prince Fu Li Wang still feels resentful about this.
If he knew that it was his mother's background that held him back, the mother and son might really fall out because of it.
Concubine Hui's eyes were filled with tears.
"Is this what His Majesty told Lord Shen to do?"
"almost."
Shen Yi said silently: "His Majesty has asked me to help take care of you and your son, at least to make you and your son rich and prosperous for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui cried even louder.
She cried for a while, then looked at Shen Yi: "Lord Shen, can you let me be alone with His Majesty for a while?"
Shen Yi shook his head: "No."
Concubine Hui wiped her tears and said, "Are you afraid that I will die in this palace?"
Shen Yi nodded directly.
He looked at Concubine Hui and said silently, "I will be waiting for you at the door. The door will not be closed. Please take care of yourself and don't let me down."
After saying that, he left the Xian Hall and stood at its door.
At this moment, Gao Minggang came back with a teapot. After seeing Shen Yi, Eunuch Gao also stopped outside the Xian Palace. He looked at Concubine Hui who was kneeling on the ground and sighed softly: "Empress Hui must be the woman that His Majesty loves most in his life."
Shen Yi nodded gently: "When His Majesty was alive, he was still considering this mother and son..."
"Compared to the Third Prince..."
Shen Yi sighed and didn't continue.
If you love someone, you will plan for him or her long-term.
Emperor Hongde's preference for Concubine Hui and her son far exceeded that for his original wife, Empress Sun, and all the other princes.
After sighing, Shen Yi looked at Gao Ming and asked, "Father-in-law, will you never go back to Nanjing in the future?"
"What are you going back for?"
Gao Ming lowered his eyebrows and said, "Only by living here till the end of my life can I repay your majesty's grace in the slightest."
Shen Yi sighed slightly and said, "Father-in-law, don't you miss the little kids from the Xu family?"
Over the years, Xu Fu and Liu Niang had four children. These children basically grew up under the care of Eunuch Gao. They didn't even call him great-uncle, but directly called him grandfather.
For more than ten years, Eunuch Gao's spiritual sustenance has mostly been on these children.
Hearing Shen Yi say this, Gao Ming was also a little sad, and said silently: "There is gain and loss, they are also growing up slowly, there is no need for me to miss them."
"The Xu family will move to Yanjing."
Shen Yi glanced at Concubine Hui, and after making sure she was fine, he said, "When the time comes, I'll ask for a few waist plaques for those kids so that they can come visit Eunuch Gao more often."
Gao Ming looked up at Shen Yi and whispered, "Your Majesty is already the Grand Master of the dynasty, but you still care about such a small matter for our family. It's really rare..."
Mr. Shen shook his head and said with emotion: "Although there is a war in the north now, it is generally stable. There are a group of old officials from the Hongde Dynasty in the court to take care of it. I am actually a free man."
"Nothing is a big deal here."
Mr. Shen put his hands behind his back and looked up into the air: "Now all I want is for my old friends to find their own place."
Gao Ming looked up at Shen Yi and suddenly said something.
"My Lord... seems a little old."
Shen Yi shook his head and smiled dumbly: "I am the same age as your majesty, but am I not old?"
"It's not that my body is old."
Gao Ming said silently: "After your majesty passed away, the Marquis' heart seems to have aged."
Shen Yi sighed.
"Maybe there are some. After all, I am a minister of the Hongde Dynasty, and the Hongde Dynasty no longer exists."
"One emperor and one courtier."
Gao Ming reminded: "With the new master taking the throne, Xu Fu is no longer suitable to be an imperial merchant."
"Ah."
Shen Yi nodded and said, "Let him come to Yanjing just to hand over Liulichang. As for other businesses, they are not very big, so let him continue to run them."
Eunuch Gao bowed his head silently: "The new master will probably take you into consideration and let Xu Fu continue to be in charge."
"That's the new emperor's business."
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Xu Fu and I have made our attitude clear, so you won't be able to blame us in the future."
Eunuch Gao sighed and said, "If Your Majesty were still alive, there wouldn't be so many things to deal with."
Shen Yi remained silent.
After a long while, Concubine Hui came out of the Xiandian. She wiped her tears and looked at Shen Yi and Gao Ming.
"Since His Majesty will not allow me to die."
She looked haggard: "I will just live a few more years."
Concubine Hui bowed and said, "Thank you for troubling Lord Shen."
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please go back to the city to rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for someone to send you to Fuzhou."
Concubine Hui nodded, turned to Eunuch Gao Minggao and bowed deeply, shedding tears and said, "I entrust my late husband's tomb to you, eunuch, to take care of it."
The word "deceased husband" moved Gao Ming. He bowed his head in return and sighed.
"Take care, madam."
"Your Majesty, the spirit in heaven, is most concerned about..."
"My lady, mother and son."
