Chapter 588: Dynasty, the great cause is over
After a while, the morning dynasty began.
The civil and military officials slowly climbed up the Tai Chi Hall along the walking path, and then filed in. Different from usual, when entering the main hall, they all looked sideways and looked at the side hall.
Although no one said it clearly, everyone knew that the prime minister who presided over the government was currently in the side hall with the doors and windows closed.
Waiting.
And standing at the door, in addition to the eunuch Eunuch Yu who was accompanying the Queen Mother, there was also Young Madam Yuwen who had made an impassioned speech in the Taiji Hall before and directly forced Princess Crescent Moon to make a promise to abdicate!
Seeing her, these officials couldn't help but feel numb.
However, everyone did not say anything. They just walked into the main hall one by one, and then divided into two sides according to their respective trains. They stood on the main hall. After a burst of drum music, they heard the eunuch on the main hall. He raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty is here!"
Immediately, all the officials immediately kowtowed to the ground and shouted long live the mountain——
"Long live my emperor!"
< br>
The sound came from the open door, carrying a strong gust of wind, and suddenly hit Shang Ruyi's face. It even made the closed door of the side hall behind her start to clang.
She couldn't help but her heartbeat also dropped.
In fact, not only the officials in the main hall, not only her, but even the fat and white face standing next to her, always smiling, also showed a rare trace of , with a solemn expression.
Eunuch Yu seemed to understand that this was probably the last praise of the Chu dynasty from the officials.
He sighed.
Shang Ruyi thought for a while, then looked back at the door, which was gradually calming down, and then whispered: "Eunuch Yu, the Queen Mother--"
Before he finished speaking, he stopped and thought for a moment, He changed his words and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess——"
He still didn't finish speaking and stopped again.
She discovered that she actually had nothing to ask at all. The road she had chosen from the beginning, even if she did not know the specific future, was the scenery that should be on this road. How could she not know about Yulang?
Why ask again?
Thinking of this, she smiled awkwardly at Eunuch Yu, who was looking at her, and closed her lips.
On the contrary, Eunuch Yu looked at her quietly for a while, and after thinking for a longer time, he raised his head and said to her: "For more than half a month, our family has been at Dayan Temple. , followed the Queen Mother, and only after returning to the palace did she realize that the inner palace was closed."
"..."
"The eldest princess was in the palace, counting the days, waiting. Second Young Master.”
“……”
"Wait until yesterday."
"..."
"Yesterday, if the Queen Mother had not come back, I would have met the eldest princess - I am afraid that I would have lost this daughter now."
“…!”
Shang Ruyi was startled. It was only then that she vaguely remembered that when Yu Wenyuan ordered the sealing of Daxing City and the inner palace in the Taiji Palace, and asked people to bring the young emperor and the eldest princess back to the palace to avoid trouble, Chu Ruo Yan seemed to have asked Yu Wenye if he would come to see her.
If she remembered correctly, she remembered that at that time, Chu Ruoyan said to Yu Wenye - it doesn't matter if you don't come.
If you don’t come, I won’t wait...
Shang Ruyi suddenly took a breath of air.
It turns out——
What she said is true.
Perhaps, Yu Wenye also felt something vaguely, so he decided to go to Dayan Temple to welcome the Queen Mother yesterday and accompany her back to the palace. If they had returned to the palace together yesterday, maybe some things would not have happened.
But yesterday, Yu Wenye took him with him——
Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as if an invisible hand was squeezing her heart, making her heartbeat change. It became heavier, and what was even heavier was a thin voice coming from the Tai Chi Hall at this moment. Although she had heard that voice countless times before, it was childish and willful, even though it confronted her every time. , but it didn't make her feel annoying.
So being cautious at this time made her feel a little uncomfortable.
It’s Chu Chengfei.
At this moment, the little emperor had slowly walked up to the main hall and sat on the dragon throne.
Every time in the past, he was forced to go to court before dawn. Faced with these words, he listened to different words. He even turned red in the face every time they argued, so that he could not go back to the palace immediately to play with his Birds, cats and dogs, not to mention being unable to enjoy delicious food, made him very impatient, but today, for the first time, he felt panicked.
Because these days, he has vaguely understood that he can no longer sit in the position of emperor.
But if he doesn’t become emperor, what can he do?
What will these people do to him?
Thinking of this, tears filled his big eyes that were still full of childishness and full of fear of the unknown. With tears in his eyes, he looked at the civil and military officials below, who had bowed to him countless times. The ministers who kowtowed, shouted long live, and expressed their loyalty to him and the dynasty, all looked at him with unfamiliar eyes, as if they were looking at kittens and puppies hanging on the cliff.
No one will save him...
Chu Chengfei listened to the sound of "Long live" that still seemed to echo in the empty hall, but his whole body was already shaking so badly, Suddenly he said to the chamberlain beside him: "I, I want to go back..."
"Your Majesty."
"My sister hasn't woken up yet. She was strangled so much that it hurts. I want to go back to accompany her." She.”
"...Your Majesty, the eldest princess is fine, but she can go to court early-"
"I don't, I don't want to stay here, I want to go back..."
Chu Chengfei said, I no longer dare to stay any longer, I want to get up and go back immediately The palace ran away, but the chamberlain stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you can't leave."
"..."
"Morning morning - but There is something important that needs to be done.”
Hearing this, Chu Chengfei almost shed tears, but he seemed to understand that even his personal chamberlain was like this, and his closest eldest sister was not around, let alone relying on him. He really just Like a kitten that fell on a cliff, there was nothing that could be done except whimpering in despair.
At this moment, he could only look at the ministers of His Highness, looking at those eyes that were either cold and stern, strange, sympathetic, or even joking.
He said in a trembling voice: "What do you want to do?"
"..."
At this time, there was no sound in the main hall.
Everyone look at me, I look at you.
Although everyone knows that at this time, it is almost just a matter of saying a word, and great things will happen, but when it really comes to this time, facing this young emperor who is crying and sitting on the dragon throne, They couldn't say it.
This is not just bullying the young emperor.
It was the last and heaviest blow to the Chu Dynasty.
The previous thing may be just a bit of gossip that people chew after dinner. When the new era comes, who will look back on the past and care about such things?
But the latter one is different. That will be recorded in history books and passed down through the ages!
Who knows whether it will be a bad name or a good story?
Even if Ji Hong was as determined as Ji Hong, who directly forced the eldest princess to make a promise to "abdicate" at the last court meeting, at this time, he seemed to hesitate a little, and then looked up On the dragon chair, the young emperor's face was filled with tears, and tears actually fell from his chaotic, old eyes.
Seeing him like this, the officials around him were also at a loss.
Who is going to say this?
Who dares to say! ?
Such confusion and hesitation quickly spread throughout the hall like a plague, everyone was hesitant, and as a result, the entire situation froze.
No one spoke, Chu Chengfei sat on the dragon chair, so there was no need to get down.
Update, can’t download.
Seeing them like this, Chu Chengfei shuddered and choked up: "You guys, what are you going to do?"
"..."
"You guys, you can't do anything, right?"< br>
“…”
“If you don’t do anything, then, then I——”
At this moment, his thin voice was also heard outside the main hall. At the door of the side hall, Shang Ruyi broke out in cold sweat.
Although she knew that it was impossible for the Yuwen family to retreat after reaching this point, and the Chu dynasty had also reached a new stage, but things often get stuck on such a small joint. If there is really no When people open their mouths, how can we resolve this situation?
She suddenly panicked and subconsciously moved forward.
But at this moment, the closed door behind him suddenly made a long and hoarse roar, and then slowly opened!
“…!”
Shang Ruyi's steps froze and immediately stopped where he was.
She turned around and saw a familiar, thin but dignified figure, wearing a grand dress, standing at the door of the side hall. She looked more graceful and luxurious than she had ever seen her before.
It’s Queen Mother Jiang!
As soon as he saw her, Shang Ruyi's breath suddenly suffocated. He even forgot to blink. He only opened his eyes wide and looked at that beautiful but pale face. It seemed that for a moment, it was almost completely blank, and even made him feel sad. Shang Ruyi felt that her entire soul seemed to be gone.
But the next moment, her gentle eyes looked at her.
When he looked at her, there was a faint smile that seemed to be relieved.
It was only at this moment that Shang Ruyi finally seemed to have come to his senses. He hurriedly knelt down and knelt down to worship, but saw the Queen Mother gently raising her hand towards her.
It means she doesn’t need to be polite.
Shang Ruyi stood there, not knowing what to do for a moment, but Queen Mother Jiang had already stepped out. As soon as she walked out of the side hall, the door closed behind her again.
Yu Wenyuan was still inside, not moving.
Empress Dowager Jiang did not look back, she only raised her head, took a deep breath, and slowly walked forward. Shang Ruyi and Eunuch Yu looked at each other and followed her subconsciously.
Only a few steps away from the Tai Chi Hall, Shang Ruyi couldn't even feel the passage of time. He only felt that in one breath, they were already standing in the center of the hall.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the Queen Mother.
There was only a pair of cold eyes. After taking a deep look at Queen Mother Jiang, he looked at her again, and then immediately looked away.
But at this time, Shang Ruyi had no time to pay attention, and he didn't even have the energy to look at each other. He heard a cry from the hall. The moment Chu Chengfei saw the Queen Mother appear, everyone's grievances and Panic broke out at this moment, and she stretched out her hands towards Empress Dowager Jiang——
"Mother!"
He began to cry.
At this moment, although he was standing behind the Queen Mother, looking at her slightly twitching and thin shoulders, Shang Ruyi seemed to be able to feel that the Queen Mother must have shown a loving and more pity look towards him. If she could, she would do everything she could to protect her youngest son. Protect him - just like when Chu Yang was about to abandon Luoyang, go south to Jiangdu, and embark on the road of no return, even though she had been miserable and lonely for that man for half her life, Empress Dowager Jiang still wanted to save her son and daughter. He temporarily abandoned him and left Chu Chengfei and Chu Ruoyan in Luoyang.
This lineage was also left behind.
But now, the last bloodline of the Chu Dynasty seems to have come to the end of this great cause.
Her thin shoulders were trembling, but as she walked step by step toward the front of the hall, she was getting closer and closer to the place where she had looked up to countless times, the place where the man who was like an immortal ruled the world and scolded Fang Qiu. Her breathing gradually calmed down, and the trembling that almost shattered her soul also gradually calmed down.
Until she walked under the Tianqi.
Shang Ruyi also stopped behind her, looking at her thin back, standing still, but at this moment, there was an almost tragic atmosphere.
All the civil and military officials in the entire hall were intimidated by her aura, and they even forgot to kowtow and salute.
Chu Chengfei cried even harder.
He stretched his hands towards his mother, and kept kicking his feet under the dragon chair. But for some reason, although he was so eager to be by her side, he seemed to be held back by an inexplicable obsession. On the dragon chair, no matter what, he didn't leave even half a moment.
It seems to be the final struggle of this dynasty.
At this moment, a hoarse sound like the friction of rough rocks sounded. It was more like a sound of breath, extraordinarily low and extraordinarily light, like an inadvertent breath. This sound will be blown away.
However, this sound was like a burst of thunder coming from the top of the sky, deafening and resounding throughout the Tai Chi Hall.
Also ringing in everyone’s ears——
"Destiny happens, and fortune turns around."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi gasped.
This voice belongs to the Queen Mother!
She committed suicide because she wanted to follow Chu Yang, leaving a hideous wound on her neck. She also lost her gentle voice that seemed to soothe all the pain in the world. She didn't expect that in this At that moment, she actually struggled and spoke!
However, when she opened her mouth, what she said was the final sound of the Chu Dynasty's demise!
At this moment, Chu Chengfei also opened his eyes wide, his tears filled with fear, and looked at his mother with despair.
He murmured: "Queen Mother..."
Empress Dowager Jiang slowly climbed up the Tianchi step by step, until she walked to the dragon chair, looked down at him, then stretched out her hand and held He kept holding out his little hand, as if asking for help.
She said: "Your Majesty, great things are difficult to achieve."
"..."
"The dynasty has finished its work."
"..."
"Let's go..."
After that, she With one force, Chu Chengfei was pulled down from the dragon chair!
Sorry, it’s still past twelve o’clock, good night everyone
