Chapter 128: Fame Is Really Important
However, there are many places in the great mourning ceremony that must be shown with the Queen Mother, so how can I deal with it? After thinking for a long time, there was only one way: I couldn’t get out of my illness. So Gala came to Xiao Xiezi and told him a set of words.
Xiao Xiezi knew in his heart that if Dugu Jialuo did not become the queen mother for a day, he would not meet with another queen mother for a day. This was a very troublesome thing, and he had to go to the empress dowager's harem to find out the news.
At this moment, Jingshifang notified: I received white cloth according to the book and made mourning clothes. Xiao Xiezi personally took people to take them down. After returning to Dugu Jialuo, he put on a chopping board in the backyard, summoned the palace maids, and took action. After all this was arranged, he went to the empress dowager to watch the scenery.
There were many people in the empress dowager's harem, and it became more and more lively to make mourning clothes. Xiao Xiezi leaned his head and looked around. He didn't expect to meet the empress dowager, so he knelt down to pay his respects. "Is there anything?" the empress dowager asked. You can't say it's okay, why are you here to do it? Xiao Xiezi had to answer: "I have something to say, I'll tell you." "You'll just talk here!"
"The master of the slave told me that the empress dowager must be very sad when the emperor died! The master of the slave was anxious to come and greet him, but the master of the slave was also anxious because of a "big incident". He was so anxious that he felt all his stomach and liver qi were released. He lay on the bed and could not move. He was very anxious and asked me to come and take a look.
The slave master said again, if the empress dowager asks, let the slave report on his behalf: Now, all major matters inside and outside must be relied on the empress dowager, and we must ask the empress dowager to mourn the empress dowager so that the overall situation can be maintained."
Xiao Xiezi stared at and told lies, and his ability to remain calm was famous. Sometimes he couldn't lie, so he was just a thick-skinned person and pretended to be real.
But at this moment, this lie was made up very cleverly, not only concealing his intentions, but also pretending to be sick for Dugu Jialuo. He was also covered in everything and was not missed. The wording was tactful and sincere, which greatly moved the empress dowager who "can deceive him to the prescription".
So the empress dowager frowned and asked, "I also heard that your master is uncomfortable. I don't know that the illness is so serious! Did it be passed on to the imperial physician?" "The master of the slave is not called a priest! He said that he is busy with the big affairs of Yuwen Yong inside and out, so don't cause trouble for them!"
Xiao Xiezi paused for a moment and said, "My master's disease, taking medicine for the pulse and taking medicine is not effective. As long as you rest quietly, you will be cured for a day and a half." "Since that's the case, I will go back and sing wine to Daxing Yuwen Yong, and Gala won't have to come out."
Queen Ashina then ordered, "Go back and pass on my words and ask your master to raise him well. Just wait for the grand ceremony of Yuwen Yong to celebrate tomorrow, and then bow to him!"
"Yes!" "I'll ask you, Yuwen Yong went to your master's place just now and talked about?" This question happened to give Xiao Xiezi a chance to slander Zhang Wenliang. "When the Empress Dowager said, the emperor has never seen his slave master."
He said, "The emperor arrived, and the slave master was in pain for a while and just fell asleep. The slave replied to the emperor and planned to wake him up. Zhang Wenliang said, "No need, no need, let's go!" The emperor was reluctant to leave, meaning that he wanted to look at the slave master and let Zhang Wenliang do it, and the emperor would have no choice." "Is that true?"
The Empress Dowager was surprised and unhappy, but she didn't say anything. Xiao Xiezi looked at her and kowtowed and stepped down. Looking back on the answer just now, she felt very proud, especially Dugu Jialuo's pretending to be sick. She was afraid that she could not pretend to be a big gift for the country's funeral, and she was unable to escape. She didn't want to get the promise of the Empress Dowager easily.
This is a great achievement, so I have to go back and report it quickly. It was almost noon, and the Empress Dowager, as planned, ordered the concubines of all palaces to gather together and go to Yunhe Hall to hang out for the great ceremony Yuwen Yong.
So a group of concubines in their early twenties were dressed in plain clothes, took off the tassels from the "two hands of the heads" and wiped their tears to the central palace. Dugu Jialuo did not need to be visited by the imperial edict. Strangely, Concubine Li and Yang Lihua did not come for a long time.
The Queen Mother kept asking questions, but there was no result. Finally, Sewu walked to Gala and whispered: "Mrs. Don't wait, Ligala can't come for the moment!" "What?" "Mrs. Qing, don't ask first. When I come back, I will reply to the Queen Mother in detail."
The Empress Dowager believed the words of this palace maid the most, so she took the concubines to Yunhe Palace to drink and mourn, and paid tribute to the remains of Yuwen Yong. She had two slender fingers and opened the white silk. What she presented to the Empress Dowager was a "dead face" with a grayish-colored cheek and her eyes were sunken, and her mouth and eyes had not been closed.
As the saying goes, this is a sign that the deceased is unwilling to let go, or that he is unwilling to die. So, the Empress Dowager who had just raised the sorrow, her tears fell like a broken pearl. "Yuwen Yong!"
Gala stretched out his finger, gently wiped the eyelids of Yuwen Yong of Daxing, and prayed silently: "Don't worry about the heavens! Yuwen Yun has already ascended the throne, so it's hard for him. The six-year-old child is not frightened. It seems that he will be a promising and blessed person in the future.
Yang Zhong was very law-abiding, and Dugu Jialuo was also very good. These people were considered conscience and did not forget what Yuwen Yong told them. It was just??.” The empress dowager thought of Concubine Li and could not continue to pray!
Gala was very uneasy. During his lifetime, Yuwen Yong specifically instructed Gala to protect Concubine Li Yang Lihua. Now that the body has not been put into the coffin, it seems that something has happened to Concubine Li Yang Lihua. Isn’t this worthy of the late emperor?
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager was anxious to go back to the palace to ask in detail, and then left the East Warehouse. Naturally, the other concubines followed him, and they dispersed after the Empress Dowager got into the sedan chair. "Se Wu?" As soon as he returned to the bedroom, the Empress Dowager asked loudly. "Se Wu went to the Gala Palace." "I was about to ask, what happened to Ligala?"
The palace maid whom the empress dowager asked was only thirteen years old, very honest and not very sensible, and replied timidly: "Wait for Se Wu to come back and talk to the empress dowager! Se Wu doesn't allow us to say more."
This made the empress dowager anxiously and paused and said, "You ignorant girls! Why is it so awkward!" "Yes??" The little palace maid finally said hesitantly, "It was Ligala who took the poison!"
"Ah!" the empress dowager cried out, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" "Here, come!" The little palace maid pointed at her with relief and shouted: "Se Wu is coming." Se Wu is deep and there is no news from Gala's face.
But when Se Wu saw the queen mother's expression and the little palace maid's fear and anxiety, she knew what had happened just now. Therefore, Gala's first words were: "It doesn't matter, Ligala woke up." "What? It's said that she was poisoned, what poison?"
Lifei Yang Lihua wore cigarette paste. A month ago, Yuwen Yong, a big walk, had a stomachache. It was Yuwen who asked that smoking a few tubes of big cigarettes to immediately stop diarrhea and refresh his mind. It happened that Lifei Yang Lihua had served her father who smoked big cigarettes and could suck cigarettes, so she got a pair of extremely exquisite cigarette trays.
The Emperor of Daxing hid in the place of Concubine Li Yang Lihua and quietly smoked two or three times. Once the diarrhea was cured, he stopped smoking. Perhaps Concubine Li Yang Lihua had already made plans, so the cigarette tray was returned.
But he left a silver box containing the tobacco paste. Fortunately, there was not much left and the poisoning was not deeply poisoned. He tried every means to finally take Gala's life back from the side of the Daxing Yuwen Yong.
"I didn't know what happened just now, but I was afraid that the empress dowager would be anxious when she heard it, so I didn't dare to say it. Now, the empress dowager, please rest assured!" "Oh??!" The empress dowager sighed, thinking that the Concubine Li and Yang Lihua were respectable and pitiful, and said, "I'll go see Gala."
"The Queen Mother waits for a while! Ligala has taken medicine now and has to sleep well. When she sees the Queen Mother, she wants to get up and salute, which is not good!" It's not good to think about it, but the Queen Mother gave up this idea, and Sewu advised Jiala to go back to her bedroom to rest.
The Empress Dowager had the habit of taking a nap, and after staying up all night, she experienced so many major events in the morning, and she was tired from physical and mental health. She really needed to take a good rest, but she couldn't calm down.
The more idle the body, the busier the more I feel. In the past half day, Gala has deeply experienced that the "head of the family" is not easy to do. His shoulders are heavy, he is afraid, and his heart is hanging, and he can't sleep well no matter how he does.
I don’t know how many times I heard the door sounding, and saw a figure from the Western Pearl Canal. The Queen Mother shouted: “Se Wu!” “The Queen Mother is awake?” Se Wu hung up the tent and asked, “Can I sleep there?”
"Suzhongtang and the others are here, saying that there are many major events and they will meet the empress dowager to report back." The empress dowager sighed silently: "See you if you see it!" So Sewu walked to the door, patted her hands gently, and found the palace maids, waited for the empress dowager to get up, wash her face and change her clothes, and went to meet Yang Zhong and the others.
The eight ministers who met the Empress Dowager in Jin Dynasty were the eight ministers. According to the rules of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms and "Meeting" with "Yuwen Yong", Yuwen Zhao held the yellow box and led the lead. After kneeling down, the Empress Dowager gave him the honorary ministers and asked him to stand and talk. So Yuwen Zhao opened the yellow box, took out an imperial edict, and held it to the Empress Dowager in both hands: "This is a mourning edict forwarded by the cabinet. Please ask the Empress Dowager to look at it."
The Empress Dowager was self-aware and could not recognize many words. If he didn't read it, he waved his hand and said, "Read it for me!" Yuwen Zhao also knew it for himself. There were many idioms and sentences used in the Imperial Examination. He could understand it, but could not read it. He looked back at Yuwen Tong and said, "It's your manuscript, you can read it for the Empress Dowager!"
Yuwen Tong agreed with great spirit, and took the mourning edict from Yuwen Zhao with his hands, holding it high, and chanted upwards: "I am educating the cabinet: I have been given the imperial examination and the great ceremony of Yuwen Yong, Gu Fu thought deeply, the heavens are in extreme heights, the holy life is just over 30 years old, and I am serving the palace. Fortunately, love is long and the day is on the verge of divination??"
However, after reading the beginning, the empress dowager was already anxious. The Xianbei people had a loud voice. Yuwen Tong was so proud that he could read his own articles and was particularly energetic. He could only hear the explosive sounds all over the room. Except for the few sentences "Sheng Shou has just been over 30 years" and "Daxing Yuwen Yong", the empress dowager could hear clearly, so she didn't know what he was reading!
