A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

In the spring of the twenty-fourth year of Dajinzhanghe, a great victory in the south, Dacheng Emperor Yu Wencang died suddenly in front of the battle.

Afterwards, the Dacheng court thoroughly investigated the matter, and the stolen goods were quickly recovered. It was confirmed that it was Ji Congying, a family member of the Ji family, who flattered the emperor on the grounds of making alchemy to seek longevity. Died of poison.

The whole family of the Ji family was slaughtered for the crime of regicide.

At the same time, Dajin continued to move his army southward, and quickly regained the land of the three states that Dacheng had occupied eighteen years ago. In one go, the army went straight to Huanglong, and at the end of March, he captured the city of Dacheng, and Dacheng destroyed the country.

The good news came that the hearts of the people during the Great Hajj were settled. The emperor, who had been ill for many days, suddenly recovered from his illness and came to the court in person. The decree was delivered to Prince Yunzhan.

In May of that year, Prince Yunzhan ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Yongguang.

Since then, the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Empress have led the emperor's concubines to move to a royal garden in central Beijing, and no longer interfere with the government.

Taking advantage of the great victory in the southern region, the new emperor began to carry out drastic government affairs, step by step to secure the throne of the lord of the world.

Meanwhile, Pingguo, who had been stationed on the northwest border for decades, announced his resignation and returned to Beijing to take care of himself.

After getting married, Gu Zhan, the eldest son of the Duke of Pingguo, married Qi Huan, the eldest lady of the Marquis of Changning, and he was not in a hurry to return to the army to lead the army. Instead, he rest assured that he handed over the military power in the Northwest to Qin Song, Marquis of Wucheng. He took charge of the defense of the capital in Beijing Job vacancies, with a family less than the settlement in Kyoto.

Under the governance of the new emperor, the Great Hajj court, which had expanded its territory, was peaceful and peaceful, and the national conditions were flourishing. The Great Hajj Dynasty presented an unprecedented prosperity.

In the tenth year of Yongguang, the Taishanghuang, who was already weak in health, finally fell ill after fainting without warning, feeling that his time limit was approaching.

The Supreme Empress sent an urgent letter to the palace, and Yun Zhan immediately stopped the morning court and rushed to the other garden with the empress and concubines.

At that time, the Supreme Emperor was leaning on the couch in the sleeping hall, accompanied by the Supreme Empress Gu and his own concubines.

Gu Wanwan held his hand, but since he fell down, the two of them have looked at each other with peaceful expressions.

Because there is already enough tacit understanding and mutual understanding on weekdays, and there are almost no secrets between each other, so at this moment, when the deadline for the Supreme Emperor is approaching, there is no need to explain anything extra to each other.

The other concubines stood in the outer hall, all watching eagerly, not daring to overstep in the slightest.

Until the grey-haired and shambling old Eunuch Li came in and announced: "The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty has arrived."

The Supreme Emperor looked away from Gu Wanwan's face, and looked at the two sons who rushed over.

"Father!" Yun Zhan came in a hurry. He didn't even pass the sedan chair when he entered the other courtyard. He walked directly and rushed over at the fastest speed, so that he left behind all his queens and concubines.

He breathed slightly, and when he entered the door, he threw himself directly in front of the Supreme Emperor's bed, half kneeling there.

The Supreme Emperor's gaze shifted to Gu Wanwan's face, and he glanced at it.

Gu Wanwan also understood, let go of his hand, got up and said to Yun Zhan: "Your father must have something to tell you, so you can accompany him."

After saying that, she turned and walked out.

It was just a matter of looking, the other concubines also went out with her, and everyone retreated to the yard.

Later, Yun Zhan's harem arrived and greeted Gu Wanwan, and everyone stood obediently together, looking worried and panicked into the bedroom with the door closed.

And in the bedroom at that time, the Supreme Emperor didn't waste time.

He was half lying on the back pillow, and he had no energy to waste to move excessively.

Yun Zhan grabbed his hand and knelt down in front of his sick bed.

The Taishang Emperor's face was very peaceful, without the fear and anxiety of a dying person, he just cut to the chase and said to Yun Zhan like an ordinary father and son gossiping: "In the early years, your brothers and sisters were still young, and your mother and queen had knots. I am not willing to die because I am afraid that your mother will lose support, I am afraid that Cheng'er will not be able to find someone who treats her sincerely, and I am even more worried that your immature shoulders will not be able to carry the burden of this not-so-stable country. But until now, all All my wishes are fulfilled, but I have nothing to worry about. Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape, my life... brotherhood, husband and wife love, father-son love have all been obtained, it is very complete, no regrets and no regrets. When the time passes away, it can be regarded as the end of life, it is a happy funeral, you brothers and sisters don't need to be overly sad."

Yun Zhan's affection for his father is deep, even more than that of ordinary noble families.

His eye sockets were already hot and humid, but in order to follow the Supreme Emperor's wishes, he insisted on hiding all his emotions.

He suppressed the choking in his voice, and nodded solemnly: "Yes! My son understands."

How could the Supreme Emperor not see the grief in his heart?
He twitched the corners of his mouth at his son, and tried to show a smile: "The country left by our ancestors, I will officially entrust it to you. You are a good boy with morality and righteousness in your heart. You should teach you everything you should have taught me before." I have given all the instructions that should be ordered. But Zhan'er, a person's life is too long. If the road under the feet is too smooth, sometimes it is inevitable to lose your heart. Others get lost and take a detour. The extent to which people can harm themselves is limited, but you are different. If you make a slight mistake... a single thought will put all people in the fire and water. Therefore, you must not listen to one side and believe it. When you encounter something and feel irritable and angry, you might as well listen Listen to the opinions of the courtiers, weigh the pros and cons, and then slowly make a final decision. It’s not too late, you know? As for your royal father, in the eyes of outsiders, this life is considered to be quite satisfactory, and he didn’t make any big mistakes. Thanks to my good luck, otherwise..."

He didn't finish what he said, but Yun Zhan understood.

All his life, he has devoted himself to guarding this country.

Once faced with a crisis, it was his younger brother Lin Wang who took the initiative to stand up and die for the country, helping him stabilize the court for more than ten years.

And then—

When Gu Wanwan was about to enter the palace, he felt that Yunxiang was dead at that time, and he was ashamed of this girl, so he wanted to accommodate her, so he accepted her invitation.

But I have to admit that in the next ten years, thanks to Gu Wanwan's presence, she strictly fulfilled her duties as the empress of a country, practically pushing him and forcing him to move forward actively. Walk.

Without her, his life as an emperor would not have gone so smoothly.

And in his life, the most reckless gamble made by his emotions was to allow Gu Wanwan to set up a trap to take back the land that was once occupied by Dacheng, and to retaliate against Dacheng, destroying Dacheng's country.

In this matter, he still owed it to his good luck that he didn't get rid of it in the end, lost his ancestral foundation, and pushed Wanmin into dire straits.

He knew that as the king of a country, he shouldn't be like that, but...

I don't regret it either!

because--

That's what Gu Wanwan wanted to do. Although she didn't say it, he knew that the wound left by Yun Xiang's death was still there in her heart. next regret.

If Yun Xiang hadn't died, she wouldn't have entered the palace, if Yun Xiang hadn't died...

She should have had a very different life than she is now.

Although he soon fell in love with this intelligent, courageous, meticulous and extremely strong woman, but there was his own brother between them, so he never expected to be able to enter the other's heart.

In this life, supporting each other, all the way to the present, for him, it is already a perfection that cannot be met, and he can't expect more.

Yun Zhan actually knew his father's inner distress, and from the standpoint of his own son, he had always hoped that Yun Xiang never existed at all.

He can't blame or resent Queen Gu, nor can he say that she can't bear the sincere love of the Supreme Emperor. After all, as a wife, a mother, and a queen, she plays all her roles impeccably. Made it perfect.

only--

Because of the regrets when they were young, she and his father were not able to be in love with each other after all.

"My son understands." Yun Zhan replied with a light smile, "I will give everything I have in this life to protect this country. I will not fall in love with any woman. I will keep my heart and be neither partial nor partial. To be a good emperor who is fair and fair, will definitely live up to the entrustment of my father."

"Heh..." The Supreme Emperor knew that his son was complaining about the feelings he couldn't ask for in his life, so he laughed softly.

"You don't have to be so harsh..." he said, "We of the Yun family have the responsibility of each generation. You Lin Wangshu...your mother...they tried their best to do what they could, but at the price... It's too big, you... just do your best."

As he said that, he also moved the topic away from those old things, and suddenly asked: "You should know what to do about my funeral, right?"

Yun Zhan lowered his eyes slightly, and nodded his head unwillingly: "Yes!"

The Supreme Emperor saw it in his eyes, and sighed silently in his heart, afraid that he would get angry for a while, so he repeated it again: "After I leave, I will be filial to your mother. After she waits for a hundred years, there is no need to bury her with me. She is going to rest where she belongs."

He really admires Gu Wanwan, but it's a pity that he was born at an untimely time.

Before her, he already had countless wives and concubines. From this point alone, he is actually not worthy of that woman's sincerity.

On this point, he has always been open-minded.

In this life, not talking about love, respecting each other like a guest and guarding her for half a lifetime, it is already very good.

When Yun Zhan heard the words, he still felt a little angry in his heart. He asked, "Don't you want to ask what the queen mother means?"

Although Empress Gu is the successor, she and him are considered husband and wife. Logically, they should be buried together.

"No need!" The Supreme Emperor resolutely refused, "I don't need to move others into my imperial mausoleum, just let me sleep alone. The love of my life has already been fulfilled before I was alive, that's enough! No more demanding after death. .Your mother, I have already delayed her life...it's time to let go."

The other person between his words refers to his empress Yuan who died young.

Before his death, the coffin of the Empress Yuan was temporarily placed in the concubine's mausoleum. If he was to be buried together, he would have to wait until his death before moving it there.

When his ex-wife was there, he also did a lot of nasty things that he didn't like. In fact, if Gu Wanwan didn't show up later, he wouldn't mind being buried with her in a muddle-headed manner.

And now-

He couldn't force Gu Wanwan, and he only wished to go quietly and alone.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yun Zhan couldn't really disobey him, so he finally nodded cautiously.

The Supreme Emperor looked in the direction outside the palace again, and sighed: "Your imperial sister... I can't wait for her to come back and see each other again. I will wait for her child to fall to the ground next year. I will definitely ask her to hug me for my birthday next year." Show me your soul."

Although it took several years to completely calm down the restlessness in the southern border and re-establish a solid border defense line, Yun Cheng is restless and has been busy in the south for these years.

Qi Wenyan also let her go, and the two of them hadn't returned to Beijing for a long time.

It was only in the past two years that Yun Cheng finally managed to stabilize his temper, and finally he was able to take care of pregnancy and childbirth.

Her letter of good news was just delivered last month. It said that she was already three months pregnant at that time, and she also said that she was considering coming back at the end of the year for the New Year, and by the way, she would stay in the capital to raise her baby and wait for the birth.

After all, the Supreme Emperor still dotes on this daughter the most, and it may be that he has finally heard the news that his daughter's life has been completely consummated, and he has nothing to worry about, so he thought about it.

Thinking about this, Yun Zhan couldn't help but get red eyes.

However, the Supreme Emperor continued to say to him: "Cheng'er will also be entrusted to you in the future. Her son-in-law...is not a temperament that can be controlled by others, but fortunately, he has a heart-to-heart for Cheng'er and is very accommodating." Yes. All these years, he followed Cheng'er to fight everywhere, and he has been stationed in the border barracks. You can't live on the battlefield all the time, sooner or later you will be disarmed and returned to the farmland, and Qi Wenyan will return to the court to become an official, so you can let him go, don't restrict him with the customary ancestral rules. He is a man who can be made, In fact...if it wasn't for Cheng'er, and someone else...I would never be willing to let him waste these years outside."

When Qi Wenyan first entered the officialdom, he was very appreciated by the emperor.

In fact, the emperor had specially cultivated it a long time ago, and he was ready to reuse him.

It was just temporarily interrupted by Yun Cheng...

As a father, he is most worried about these two children. Naturally, Qi Wenyan has to focus on his own daughter's private affairs first.

Fortunately, Qi Wenyan has affection for Yun Cheng, and he is willing to accompany her wherever she goes, and doesn't care if she takes the vain job of supervising the army.

In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.

"My son understands." Yun Zhan answered his words again with a sob.

The Supreme Emperor raised his hand to touch the top of his hair, just like he did when he was young.

Yun Zhan raised his head.

He smiled at his son again: "This is considered a happy funeral, so there is no need to mourn too much. You call your mother the queen... I..."

He held up his strength to say this, but he couldn't bear it anymore.

Yun Zhan got up quickly, turned his back to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, then walked quickly to the door, opened the door and invited Gu Wanwan in.

Gu Wanwan returned to the Supreme Emperor's sickbed, sat down again and held his hand.

The Taishang Huang finally looked at her peaceful face and said with emotion: "Wanwan, thank you..."

Thank you!
Thank you for coming to my side and accompanying me through the thorns and thorns, all the way through half a lifetime.

Thank you for appearing in my life and allowing me to experience the joy of truly pleasing someone.

Thank you for everything you have done for me, for my country, for my children, and for my subjects all over the world.

Thank you...you have been here!
Queen Gu looked at him, and the two smiled at each other.

She said, "No."

Then, the man closed his eyes peacefully.

Yun Zhan exclaimed, Father, and then the women began to wail, and the whole bedroom was full of mournful cries.

The funeral ceremony of the Supreme Emperor was very grand. During the mourning period, civil and military officials and wives had to go to the palace to kneel down to express their condolences.

Qi Huan had given birth to two children successively in the past ten years, and now she has been pregnant with her third child for more than four months. With a big belly, she can't attend the funeral. She will not be able to attend the funeral until the end of the mourning period. After the team left the palace, she just entered the palace to visit the Empress Dowager Gu Wanwan.

Gu Wanwan didn't mourn too much, she seemed very calm.

Originally, Qi Huan wanted to stay with her for a while, and after noon, when Gu Zhan, who had been buried in Beijing, came back to report, she would go back to the mansion with her, but Gu Wanwan offered to go back to the Duke's mansion with her after a few gossips.

The last time she returned to the Duke's residence was ten years ago, at the wedding ceremony of Gu Zhan and Qi Huan.

With her identity here, Qi Huan could neither refuse nor ask why, so he had to go back with her.

After all, it was during the funeral of the Supreme Emperor, so Gu Wanwan's trip out of the palace was very low-key, and she directly rode in Qi Huan's carriage.

Lord Pingguo is very old. Although he has been suffering from chronic diseases for many years in the battlefield, martial arts practitioners are still physically strong and live long. It's just that he is old. He is going to be buried today. never participated.

Gu Wanwan went to visit him.

Qi Huan guessed that she came here specially at this time because she had something to say to the Duke, and she wanted to avoid suspicion by ordering someone to serve tea: "Your Majesty, please talk to your grandfather. I will go to the kitchen to make arrangements. Your Majesty is rarely here. Why don't you go back after lunch at home?"

"No need." Gu Wanwan refused.

She didn't sit down either, and suddenly knelt down straight in front of the old Duke.

Qi Huan was a little surprised and flustered, not knowing how to deal with it.

The old man was as immovable as a mountain, he just sighed helplessly.

Gu Wanwan looked at him.

At this time, she was no longer the woman in the palace who had the power to control the world by turning her hands into clouds and rain.

With red eyes, stubbornness and guilt on her face, she looked at the old man and choked up: "Grandfather, my granddaughter is not filial. I have insisted on going my own way these years. I think I am worthy of the conscience of the world and everyone around me, but I am sorry for the Gu family. I can't stand you. I want to beg you, after I die, please allow me to be buried in the ancestral grave of the Gu family, and let me return to you and my parents, I want to be the daughter of the Gu family again. "

While speaking, tears flowed down her face unknowingly.

The old Duke suddenly remembered that she knelt in front of him like this back then, and said stubbornly and guiltily that she was going to enter the palace with tears in her eyes.

This walk is the majority of life without hesitation.

The old Duke didn't say anything, he just raised his hand, and Gu Wanwan threw himself on his knee and wept bitterly.

In fact, her life was not satisfactory. When she was a young girl in Huaichun, her heart and eyes were full of only one person, but that person resolutely abandoned her for the sake of the righteousness of her family and country, and generously died.

At that time, when she took the risk of war and traveled thousands of miles alone to bring Yun Xiang's body back, she actually no longer loved her.

He is a good man and a man worthy of love, but only because of the fact that he abandoned her to sacrifice her life for righteousness...

She can no longer continue to love him like a woman passionately and persistently loves a man.

I no longer love him, and at the same time close my heart, and I don't plan to love anyone else.

Therefore, she entered the palace, and she will devote the rest of her life to doing something more meaningful.

Compare--

It's more meaningful to be infatuated with a man!

In fact, after spending so many years with the emperor day and night, it's not that she can't feel the emperor's special affection and preference for her. He is also a very good person, as good as Yunxiang...

In this life, she has no regrets about walking this road, but when this life is over and the lead is washed away, she still wants to go back to the road she used to be.

All her life, she walked in silence, alone, and she wanted to go home.

back to -

It used to be the most carefree place where she was allowed to grow up wantonly.

Here is the final destination.

Is her life worth it?do not know!
but……

It is indeed not perfect, leaving too many shortcomings and helplessness.

Qi Huan looked at Gu Wanwan who was crouching on the lap of the old man who was wronged and crying like a child, and she suddenly thought of her ancestor who had been wandering away for many years, but when he was dying, he still asked his son to send her back to be buried in his hometown. aunt.

Their love paths are too bumpy and painful, so they just want to go back to the warmest place at the beginning after this life is over.

How many people, after going through wind and rain, come back after half their life without complaints or regrets, and still look like teenagers?
Qi Huan suddenly got wet eyes.

Just as she was about to take out her handkerchief to wipe, a strong arm pulled her into her arms.

Gu Zhan, who didn't know when he came back, hugged her and led her out of the house.

In the gazebo in the garden, their seven-year-old son and four-year-old sister are making origami boats for her. The two little people put their heads together, and the low voice of the boy and the giggle of the girl can be heard from time to time. Voice.

Gu Zhan stopped in his tracks, wiped away the moisture from the corners of his wife's eyes with his fingertips, and comforted her softly: "In this life, only a love word that is happy with each other is the most difficult to complete. Due to various reasons, it cannot be completed. It's normal, and there's nothing you can do about it, so don't be sentimental."

Qi Huan looked up at him.

The man's eyebrows are still the same, and he looks like a handsome and elegant young master, but after so many years, his temperament has become more calm and gentle.

Qi Huan still clearly remembers that day many years ago, when he stood in front of the Tongji Medical Center, he asked her anxiously and affectionately under the sun: "I want to ask the girl, what kind of man do you... like?"

The once gentle and beautiful young man standing in the sun shining like jade has finally become her destination in this life.

Now, just by looking at him like this, one will feel that life is complete and happy.

The gratification of two people that many people can't ask for, but she got it by virtue of her luck.

Qi Huan raised her head, focused on engraving his eyebrows and outlines with her eyes, deeply imprinted in her heart, a smile rose from the corner of her lips, and she intertwined his fingers and held his hand tightly: "In the future, I will definitely bury him with you." together."

Gu Zhan was startled for a while, and then realized that this was an unswerving and beautiful love story.

So, his smile overflowed from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he nodded gently and cheerfully: "Okay!"

Complete the book!
