After Shao Song

Chapter 165 Extra Four: Empress Song of the Underworld (Thanks to Yijiang Chunshui book friend)
At the end of the autumn of the 18th year of Jianyan's reign, Empress Dowager Zheng of Ningde, who was retiring in the palace of Emperor Huang Ling of the Song Dynasty in Tokyo, accidentally caught a cold and died of illness at the age of 66, which was considered a long life.

In view of the fact that Zhao Guan's family has been adopted by Zhe Zong.Empress Dowager Zheng was not considered his aunt, so the funeral standards could not be compared with those of Empress Dowager Meng.However, according to the established rules, the mourning ceremony was held in the side hall, the clan presided over the funeral ceremony, and the Ministry of Rites drafted the posthumous title Xiansu.

At the same time, Queen Mother Xiansu's only living daughter, Princess Chengde Zhao Huer, added certain gifts.Then it was time to wait for burial.

Of course, those who gossip say that officials are mean, but in fact, Empress Dowager Zheng's political influence has long been eliminated, and no one in the world really regards this as a major talking point.

What's more, compared to Emperor Huangling of Song Dynasty and Emperor Yin of Song Dynasty, the Zhao Guan family was already extremely kind and righteous to their former aunt.

But the affairs of the human world are over, but the affairs of the underworld are not yet over.After listening to the ghost messenger introducing the various rules of the underworld, Empress Dowager Zheng obviously did not want to accompany Song Huang Ling Emperor to suffer in the royal city. Why, hadn't she suffered enough in the Five Kingdoms City with you during her lifetime?
Of course, this is possible. After all, she has never interfered in politics or affected major historical events. What happened to Jingkang is not her responsibility, so she only needs to go to Wangcheng and sign a divorce letter with Zhao Ji, and then she can freely remarry or reincarnate.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel sad and angry for a second when he heard this, "You are a palace maid from a poor family. I have appointed you as queen for more than ten years, but you don't miss your old relationship so much?"

Empress Dowager Zheng barely said a word, why are you so shameless?Holding back his anger, he said: "I am a humble concubine and not worthy of an official position. Please sign this letter of peace and departure. I will go on my own and I will not disturb your peace here." What are you talking about with this foolish king like you?
Zhao Guangyi thought he was ashamed, so he kicked him and said: "I am a good woman, I have suffered so much because of your loss of the country, don't be ashamed, and write quickly."

Zhao Kuangyin said, "Wait a minute, Mrs. Zheng, let me ask you, how is Xiaojiu doing lately?"

Empress Dowager Zheng did not dare to offend Emperor Taizu, and said respectfully: "After the official family moved the capital, we have never seen him again. Even when he was in Tokyo, he was busy with government affairs and rarely came to see me."

In other words, even if we don’t know each other well at all, even if you ask me about something, I won’t know.

Although the emperors and queens of the Song Dynasty were disappointed, they had nothing to say.Judging from Zhao Jiu's attitude towards his biological parents, don't think too much about how close he can be to his former biological mother!

Song Yun looked at Xing Bingyi's disappointed look with cold eyes, but couldn't help asking about the current situation of Zhao Jiu and Princess Nanyang, and left slowly without saying anything.She had already reached the level of cultivation, and the royal city barrier could not stop her at all. In a moment, she arrived next to a big tree outside the city. Standing there was none other than Zhao Jiu, who was being discussed heatedly in Song Chao Village.

Zhao Jiu was wearing a bright red robe. He really couldn't understand why he fell asleep after offering incense to Queen Mother Zheng in Yanjing. His soul followed Queen Mother Zheng here in a daze.Fortunately, I don't have to enter the king's city again, but what do you mean by putting me in the underworld?It won’t be the end of my life, right?

While I was thinking wildly, a woman in palace clothes came elegantly. She looked pretty from a distance, with white teeth and eyebrows. Her hair was combed with upturned sideburns, long sleeves fluttering, and colorful ribbons. If not for the fashionable silver-red trousers seen up close, she would have looked... Do you really think they are ancient people from the Qin and Han Dynasties?But even if she is from the Song Dynasty, she is only sixteen or seventeen years old. Even though she looks like a human being, Zhao Jiu really can't remember which ancestral grandma she is?
Fortunately, she will introduce herself, "My great ancestor's stepmother, Queen Song Yunye, you can also call me Queen Xiaozhang."

That's really an ancestor. Zhao Jiu has made up lessons for so many years. Although the focus is not on the concubine's inheritance, he also knows that this person is a bit sad. She is obviously a princess from two dynasties, and her father is an important minister, but she married an older man 20 years ago. Husband of many years.

She became a widow in her twenties and was bullied by her brother-in-law. After her death, Zhao Guangyi wanted to establish the prince Defang, so he neither married the emperor's sister-in-law nor asked the courtiers to attend the funeral. It simply trampled the Song family's status as the empress of the previous dynasty. Into the dust.Wang Yucheng, a writer at that time, said unjustly that "after experiencing the mother's rites in the world, one should abide by the old rites". He was slandered and demoted, and he went out of Chuzhou.It was not until the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty that the divine position was elevated to the Ancestral Temple.

Take a closer look, the [-] or [-]-year-old ice and snow figure was exactly when the Song family was brought into the palace as the empress, and the Taizu had already avenged her, but, "Dare to ask, why did Empress Xiaozhang leave the royal city?" Why come here?"

Song Yun said: "The official asked, why did you come to Song Dynasty, or why did you come to see the ancestors of Zhao and Song Dynasties?"

Zhao Jiu was horrified, but she looked calm and even had a slight smile on her face, as if she was looking at a child and had no intention of teasing her.For a moment, I felt that it was like a red star shining brightly for more than ten years, but after being the Lord of the world for so many years, I finally had some city. Although I was a little slack in the netherworld, I still asked, "Why do you ask me like this?"

Song Yun nodded secretly and said: "After Taizu passed away, I had nothing to do. I was bored and entered the palace. I am not a flashy person like Zhao Ji. I was taught by a famous teacher. After death, I did not enter the netherworld but went to follow Empress Houtu. For more than a hundred years, I have been visiting Hongjun Daozu, but I have only come to reunite with my husband and Sister He for a few years."

Needless to say, it’s very clear. My child, I know your origins and experiences, so there’s no need to talk to me about it!

Zhao Jiu almost cried. This is really not a question of being calm or not. The emperor's mental tricks are no longer easy to use. The secrets and helplessness that have been kept tightly for 18 years can only be half-confessed to Yang Yizhong. I was filled with loneliness. If I hadn't been influenced by feudal etiquette for many years, I would have gone up to hold the hand of Empress Xiaozhang, but thousands of words were reduced to one sentence, "My parents in that world are okay." ?"

Even though 18 years have passed, their faces are blurred in the memory.

"My magic power is low and I cannot spy." Song Yun was still as calm as a goddess statue and said: "Just a peck and a drink, this Zhao Gou also used your body to go to your world."

"What, that kind of soft-footed shrimp that never comes out for ten thousand years, isn't it a disaster for my parents? Fairy Song, this can't be done!" Song Yun has practiced Taoism for more than 100 years, and has long been able to calm his mind, but after all, it depends on him to recreate For Shenzhou's sake, he comforted him by saying, "A person who is not good at being an emperor may not be good at other things. Look, if Zhao Ji had become a calligrapher and painter, why would he end up like this!" After a pause, he explained, "I am just a god. A person’s cultivation level is not that of a fairy.”

These words were still very convincing. The main reason was that Zhao Jiu felt that Song Yun would not be able to change him back. Moreover, in this time and space of the Song Dynasty, he also had everything that he could not let go of. He just said: "Then the empress came to tell me specially. What are you doing, since you know that I'm not a descendant of the Zhao family, you shouldn't come here after I die, you can just reincarnate!"

"Idiot, since you have become the emperor, it doesn't matter whose body you belong to, whether your surname is Zhao or Wang. What matters is how well you do as an emperor? Do you meet the standards of the underworld's judgment?" After that, he briefly introduced each person. The kind of emperors enjoy treatment based on their own merits.

"So, I, as long as I keep my mind and actions united, base everything on fairness, and put my people first, once I die, I can directly break away from the shackles of the underworld and transform into a god-man?"

"That's the truth." Song Yun was not thirsty, but it had been many years since he had spoken so many words to a man, including Zhao Kuangyin. He was a little uncomfortable. He paused for a moment, closed his eyes and deduce it, and then said: " However, your life span is not short. It is not easy to maintain it. Isn't this the case for all emperors of Han, Wu and Tang Dynasties? They still have to take care of themselves. You just asked me why I came here? It's because the teacher has a destiny. Since there is a chance, of course you must Let me clarify your doubts."

Otherwise, why would she come to the royal city to watch a bunch of emperors fighting? If not, her master said that her cultivation was stagnant and she needed to find another way, such as going through the hardships of a couple to break through.

Of course, as long as they are normal people (or gods), they will prefer emperors like Zhao Jiu, especially after meeting the Second Saint.

Zhao Jiu knew that she was referring to Daozu, and felt angry, saying: "You tricked me here, but you didn't dare to come and tell me yourself. Instead, I asked you to do it. Your Majesty has a good temper. You will come when he asks you to come. If anything happens, I am unreasonable, and I took out this anger on you, didn’t you take the blame for others?”

Song Yun saw that although Zhao Jiu was still angry, he was not trying to fight for his life, or that he wanted to return to his world alive or dead. Thinking about it more than ten years later, he personally shouldered the mission of the nation and the country. Too many shocking things Fortunately, he was fortunate to end up with a living hero of the country without regrets. This happiness diluted his personal dissatisfaction. From this point of view, Zhao Jiu can be regarded as a person with good morals.

At least it's better than the two pieces of shit in Dayi Tong Town. Daozu has really good vision.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiu actually asked: "Then who are the biological parents of me, this physical body?"

Song Yun was startled, and then replied calmly, "If you want to be orthodox, naturally it is Zhao Ji and Wei. If you think it is too embarrassing, then it is Zhao Lingjia and Xue." In other words, this can be changed.

Zhao Jiu thought that she had been more stimulated today, her eyes widened and she almost shouted, "That's okay!"

"You have encountered so many unreasonable things since Mingdao Palace. Why should you be too strange? In fact, if these things had not been shouted out by Qiao, they would not be worth mentioning at all. The Lord of Rebuilding the Universe, you said that you are the son of the Red Dragon. How about it? The parents in your heart are not here anyway." Song Yun accepted it very well, of course these are not her parents.

Sure enough, he is a Taoist. How indifferent you are, Zhao Jiu wants to ask you a little maliciously, how does it feel for you to recognize your grandfather (Liu Zhiyuan) and your great-grandfather (Li Cunxu)?But it’s pointless to think about it. She didn’t cause the incident, and the embarrassment was not caused by her. She was pitiful during her lifetime and didn’t remember everything after her death. I’m here to tell you that it’s more of a good intention. You being presumptuous with her shows that you are narrow-minded.

Zhao Jiu sighed several times, and finally calmed down, saying: "What the Queen said is that I will never think about such a thing again, and I don't want to come here again, but if there is a chance, I would like to see my loyal ministers again."

"That will have to happen next time. You are from the upper world and cannot stay in the underworld for too long. You need to return to the upper world as soon as possible. Don't worry, Lord Yan, whether in the immortal world or in the immortal world, is extremely tolerant to the benevolent Lord Mingjun. By the way, Xing Bingyi When we arrived at Dayi Tong Town, Taizu and the others took Zhao Ji and the others to work as coolies for her and Meng, but she is Zhao Gou's first wife, so it will be awkward to meet her, so it's okay if you don't come."

When Zhao Jiu heard this, he became alert and wanted to leave immediately. It was not because he was afraid, but because he was really embarrassed.But seeing that Black and White Impermanence has come, I still couldn't bear it and said: "Please tell her, Madam, Buddha is doing well, the husband's family is doing well, the son can walk, and the husband and wife are also very loving."

"Okay, we all know this."

"Thank you for informing me, but Zhao Jiu has one last question. I have exploited Buddhist and Taoist monks to this point. Don't Taoist ancestors regret choosing me?" Zhao Jiu asked a little maliciously.

"Did the gods and Buddhas want to reshape their golden bodies by themselves? But the world is ignorant and wastes money. As long as you are a good emperor, you can chop down the statues of Buddha and Taozu. That is better than anything else." After Song Yun finished speaking, his long sleeves She flicked it away and disappeared again, as if she had never been there.

The second change, asking for a monthly ticket

　Empress Song is a character that I have always sympathized with. She may have solved Zhao Jiu's doubts.
