Chapter 399 Empress Mishu's funeral

Author: Sky Drive

Feng Ran did not take Feng Mao seriously at all. He was a foreign minister and could not argue with Queen Mao seriously about the affairs of the court. Seeing that Queen Mao had nothing else to say, he wanted to stand up and say goodbye. Queen Mao said, "General Feng is a man of heaven and earth. I will rest assured of all the promises. I just asked General Feng to treat Xiang'er well... For the sake of... he was officially adopted by the general... I will also teach him to be filial to the general, and ask him to inherit the bloodline of the general and spread branches and leaves for the Feng family."

Feng He Xiangxiang is still a big child. Queen Mao now thought of asking him to spread the branches and leaves for the Feng family, which is too far away!

Feng Ran came out of Fengqi Palace and thought on the way back to Jinghua Palace that the intention of Queen Mao summoning him was probably to show him the Mao family's attitude towards Feng Ran, hoping to achieve a situation where Feng Mao joined forces to assist Feng He Xiangxuan ascend to the throne. The Mao family took the initiative to bow to Feng Ran, which seemed quite sincere. Feng Ran felt that Queen Mao had a good plan for this account. Queen Mao could see the situation clearly and could also make concessions and make peace with her advance and retreat.

Feng Ran just felt that the time for Queen Mao to summon him was not right. Feng He Xiangxiang was still young and was not in a hurry to succeed the throne. There was no need for the Mao family to express their opinions to him so anxiously, and they rushed to try their best to please him. In the future, there were opportunities to express their attitude without any trace, and there was no need to use the form of overnight summoning to attract suspicion.

During the conversation, Queen Mao always thought about what happened a long time ago, which made Feng Ran feel that Queen Mao’s summoning was a bit abnormal, but Feng Ran couldn’t say what was wrong, so he thought about it and let it go.

When he returned to Jinghua Palace, He Yue naturally asked about the intention and situation of the queen's summoning. It was the most taboo in the court when the ministers formed gangs in the harem. Feng Ran did not want to join forces with Mao, and did not feel that he had formed gangs with the Mao family. He did not want He Yue to be upset, so he omitted Feng Mao's words and said that Queen Mao had communicated with him about raising children.

He Yue didn't ask much after hearing this. He just wanted Feng Ran to meet Queen Mao, so he asked Queen Mao casually how she was. Although Feng Ran had not met Queen Mao, when she heard Queen Mao talk in front of the curtain, she felt that Queen Mao was a little breathless and was very clear-headed. Thinking about the breathing, it might be because of the dirty water. If you raise it for more, it should be fine. So she replied that Queen Mao was not seriously injured, and said that Queen Mao missed Xianger very much, and asked He Yue to bring Feng He Xiangxiang to the palace to visit her relatives.

After falling into the water, Queen Mao was drowsy and not awake. He Yue was still worried about the queen. Now, when Feng Ran said that Queen Mao was not seriously injured after she woke up, she felt relieved. She originally planned to go to visit Queen Mao when she left the court the next day. After Feng Ran said this, He Yue pretended to be a big event in the court and was really bored with Queen Mao. Moreover, every time she went to see the queen, she had to play the love scenes of the emperor and the empress. He Yue didn't want to go to see the queen anymore, so she thought that she could delay it for a while. When Queen Mao was raised for a few more days, he would visit her again. Therefore, He Yue secretly gave up the idea of ​​visiting Queen Mao when she left the court the next day.

However, He Yue remembered that Feng Ran said that Queen Mao missed Feng He Xiangxiang. After returning to the commander's office the next evening, he issued an order to ask Zheng Xiuyu to bring Feng He Xiangxiang to the palace tomorrow to visit Queen Mao and pay his respects to his mother.

The next day, He Yue and Feng Ran went to court almost forth. Feng Ran submitted a memorial in front of the ministers in the court, briefly reported the situation of transferring troops outside and being promoted and demoted to the general during this period. He questioned the accusations that he had transferred troops from various places and were looking for trouble. Feng Ran did not make any more excuses. He claimed in a very arrogant manner that the emperor had authorized him to take charge of military and political affairs. How to adjust the troops in various places wanted to be adjusted? Within his own authority, there was no need for the ministers to exceed their authority and point fingers at his power, which made the ministers speak out and almost choked the old ministers to death. Everyone had to criticize Feng Ran's usual official and behavior to vent their anger. As for Feng Ran's engagement with He Yue, it was the emperor's rebellion, and no ministers dared to expose this scar.

Feng Ran didn't go back to the Commander's Mansion. He was afraid that he would go back and leave. He would make Feng He Xiang cry. He just sent an order to ask his personal soldiers and Xiao Yuan to set up their clothes and wait with the military counselors at the south gate of Chenghua City. Feng Ran dispersed and met them. After he joined them, he rushed all the way back to the barracks, and put the army on the training that had been stopped for more than half a month, and then started to take action again.

However, as soon as Feng Ran began to resume training, an astonishing news came from Chenghua City.

Records of the Grand Historian: On September 30, the fifth year of Jingyun, Empress Mishu was buried in the sky due to illness at the age of twenty-five.

Feng Ran had no good feelings for Queen Mao, but he had no malice. When he heard this news, he couldn't help but be confused. September 30th was the sixth day after the queen summoned him overnight. He clearly heard Queen Mao's voice was fine, but he choked a few mouthfuls of dirty water. How could he die of illness? Suddenly, he remembered that before Queen Mao talked to him, his voice was extremely weak and he wanted to take what medicine, and the servants stopped him. Maybe the medicine was not a good medicine. But after Queen Mao took the medicine, her voice became thicker, and she thought Queen Mao was fine.

Feng Ran recalled carefully the situation when Queen Mao summoned her that night. She was puzzled at that time, and after hearing the news of Queen Mao's death, she seemed to be able to understand it. As soon as Queen Mao woke up, she was eager to summon him. It was because Queen Mao knew that she was in poor health and was about to go out to transfer troops, so she did not avoid suspicion and summoned her overnight.

Feng Ran heard the queen summoning her, and thought that the queen was hostile, but she did not mention the snatch of robbing her husband and taking her son. Instead, she repeatedly solemnly entrusts Feng He Xiangxiang to herself, begging herself to be good to Feng He Xiangxiang and support Feng He Xiangxiang to succeed the throne. It was just because Queen Mao knew that her health was not good, and she had to let go no matter how she couldn't let go, and she had to let go no matter how hard she wanted to let go. No matter how hard she could not let go, she had to let go. It was meaningless to mention robbing her husband and son. In desperation, she could only hold her resentment towards herself while having to entrust her child to herself. In order to fully support Feng He Xiangxiang to succeed, Queen Mao did not hesitate to let Mao bow her head to retreat to her and seek Feng Mao to join forces with a surrender attitude.

Feng Ran recalled the situation when Queen Mao summoned her and mentioned it many times that it would be a very long time later. Now I think about it, every sentence, it was all about Queen Mao's entrusted to the orphan before her death!

Later, while Feng Ran was practicing to adjust the army, he gradually heard more rumors about Queen Mao. It is said that after the imperial physician diagnosed that Queen Mao died of heart and lung infection caused by drowning, and her three yin meridians were stagnant and blocked, and she died of exhaustion. But why did Queen Mao fall into the water? Or did she dive into the water to seek death? Or had another hidden story? Queen Mao was alive, and the empress dowager wanted to give the queen a face, which was difficult to investigate. When Queen Mao died, the empress dowager would investigate the matter to the end. Besides, if the origin was not found, it was difficult to explain to the Mao family. How could the empress fall into the water if it was good? It led to the loss of Qi Nian's appearance. The empress dowager arrested all the eunuchs and maids in Fengqi Hall and threw them into the internal affairs court, and ordered the necessary interrogation to be revealed.

When Queen Mao fell into the water, He Yue was sitting in the main hall of Jinghua Palace chatting and talking. Unexpectedly, the Internal Affairs Court actually interrogated several confessions and said that he saw a man wearing a plain white and yellow-bordered young master's robe from afar. He was in Fengqi Palace and Jinghanxuan. His martial arts skills were extremely high, and he flashed by, and he couldn't see it clearly. The eunuchs in the palace were all wearing the costumes and styles of eunuchs. At that time, a man who could wear a plain white and yellow-bordered young master's robe and a very high martial arts skills in the palace was self-evident, which was hidden Feng Ran! He Yue looked at the confessions, and felt that the nameless fire was rising three times! Fortunately, those confessions did not dare to point out Feng Ran directly. He Yue was angry and asked those people to torture and torture them and ask for the confessions in detail.

His Highness Feng Qi confessed that it was just a trivial matter. He Yue herself could confirm that Feng Ran had nothing to do with Queen Mao's fall into the water. However, through the false accusation of Feng Ran, He Yue could feel the strong hostility and resentment towards Feng Ran from the court and the harem.

I am the emperor, and everything I do is right. The ministers and the harem dare not disrespect me. The one who is wrong can only be the people around me. Therefore, the ministers and the harem turn their hostility and resentment to Feng Ran. In my heart, I must get rid of this important general who disobeys the great ethics of the monarch and ministers and the man who monopolizes the holy favor Yu Lu!

Although because of his tough attitude, great power, Feng Ran was in charge of heavy troops and planning the situation, it was crucial that the ministers and the harem were forced to make concessions to the unjust relationship between the monarch and the ministers of Feng Ran, and turned a blind eye to the improper relationship between the monarch and the ministers of Feng Ran, because of the current situation and his own pressure. However, this concession does not mean their surrender. They are full of hostility, contempt and resentment for their offensive relationship with Feng Ran. As long as they catch the opportunity, they will be triggered. The form of manifestation is to use any means to add insult to Feng Ran!

Once the war is over, the pressure of the current situation will be lifted. In peacetime, Feng Ran’s military talents are useless. Will the ministers and concubines in the harem attack Feng Ran? He Yue can imagine that such a situation will be about to break out after the war with just one opportunity!

He Yue had to think about how to avoid such a situation?

He Yue knew that there were two main reasons why his relationship with Feng Ran had always attracted people to be dirty. First, his relationship with Feng Ran was nominally a relationship between the monarch and the ministers, so he should abide by the relationship between the monarch and the ministers. Any action between them that surpassed the relationship between the monarch and the ministers was a violation of etiquette and the morality, and was injustice. Second, they were all men.
