Chapter 113 How can I have time to wait for someone?
Song Lian was silent for a while, looking at the Queen in confusion. After a while, he asked softly, "Empress, what are you going to say?"
Although the Empress wanted to tell everything, he was a warrior and a military attache of the Liang Dynasty. When he first spoke, he naturally said something about the court. But obviously, that was not what the Empress wanted to hear, but he carefully
After thinking about it, I didn't know what the Queen wanted to hear next.
What does all this mean?
The Empress glanced at Song Lian and said, "Tell me about that boy's character. Is he considered a good boy? Please tell me carefully and don't be too general."
Song Lian was silent for a while and said softly, "According to my opinion, Commander Chen is naturally good. Judging from his temperament, he is quite magnanimous and quite..."
Thinking of the young man's cunningness, Song Lian didn't know whether he should say it out loud. After a moment of silence, he said, "I mistakenly thought that he cared too much about money, but later I saw that I was wrong."
If Chen Chao were here now, he would definitely be grateful that the blood ginseng he gave made Song Lian change his opinion of him, otherwise if he informed the Queen at this moment, things would not be that simple.
"I've been used to it since I was a child, and now it's not a problem to care about external things."
The Queen spoke softly, with endless distress in her voice.
Feeling this emotion, Song Lian did not rush to speak, but just thought about why the Queen had such emotions. This emotion was obviously only for her own children and nephews, but how old Chen Chao was, there was no way it was the same.
He must be the queen's nephew.
At that time, the general had four children in total.
Two men and two women.
The Queen is the eldest daughter. The eldest son worked for the deposed emperor and led troops to stop His Majesty several times. In the end, the city of God was defeated. His Majesty did not kill the Queen's brother, but just put him under house arrest.
The one who had been there for two years had died in depression.
The second son had been delivering messages for His Majesty back then, but was found out by the deposed emperor and was immediately executed.
As for the Queen's younger sister, she has never married, and now she only eats food and prays to Buddha in her mansion.
Those people naturally have descendants, but which one is not registered?
How could it be Chen Chao?
"I remember that in the eleventh year of Tianjian, there was a flood in Weizhou."
The Queen's voice brought Song Lian out of his thoughts. Song Lian said, "The Queen is right. A lot of things happened in the world that year."
The eleventh year of Tianjian is a rare year for the monks, but it is not an easy year for Daliang. That year, there were monsters invading the border in the north, which was the biggest war in recent years.
Although the demon clan was defeated in the end, because of this war, the Liang Dynasty's treasury was running low, which also led to the subsequent floods in Weizhou and the imperial court.
Fa was able to raise enough money and food for disaster relief as soon as possible.
That year, Weizhou actually became a purgatory.
On both sides of the Wei River, there are hungry people on the road.
"That child was in Weizhou that year."
The Queen's eyes looked a little sad, and she said softly, "That child was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time."
Would a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy survive in that situation?
Song Lian was silent for a while and then said, "That is indeed not easy."
The Queen smiled and said, "I met him on the day of the royal banquet. He is such a good young man who is willing to risk his life for the sake of the court and the world. It is very good. The court now lacks such a young man. Later, he was on the bank of Nanhu Lake.
I have done a good job in refuting those students, what they did at the imperial banquet, and what they did when they saved the saint of Wantian Palace a few days ago, and I like them very much."
When Song Lian heard this, he suddenly became enlightened. He thought that it was because of these things that Chen Chao had left a good impression on the Empress, so the Empress was so concerned. Just looking at the Queen's appearance before, he also felt sincerely.
I feel that the Queen's reputation as a virtuous lady is indeed true.
This is true for a young man whom he has only met once, and he must be very good to others on weekdays.
Song Lian said softly, "Commander Chen has a bright future, and I will definitely take good care of him."
The Empress nodded and said with a smile, "Commander Song, please take care. There are not many of my father's subordinates now."
Listening to these words, Song Lian felt a warm current flowing through his chest and was very moved.
The Empress smiled and waved, "Li Heng, take the Sky Leaf Grass from my palace and give it to Commander Song."
As she spoke, the Empress turned to look at Song Lian and said with a smile, "I heard that Commander Song is only one step away from the other shore."
Song Lian became a little flustered and was about to kneel down, but the Queen shook her head and said, "Why do you kneel down so easily?"
Although Song Lian did not kneel down, he still shook his head and said, "Madam, the leaves of grass that day were for the general's health, how could they be given to me?"
Of course Tianleafao is a precious medicine for the Queen, but it is known all over the world that the Empress is not in good health, and she relies on these elixirs to keep her warm and nourished. After Tianyecao is used as medicine, it is extremely important to the Queen's health, and
This object is extremely rare, even the Liang Dynasty could not find many in a year. Song Lian naturally knew how precious this object was, especially how important it was to the empress.
The queen didn't care, and just said calmly, "I can't take care of my body anymore. I'm just waiting to go back. Whether it's next year or tomorrow, that's what God should do."
decision, what else can I do?”
Song Lian frowned and said, "The empress is so kind and virtuous, she will definitely stay with your majesty for many years."
The Empress did not speak, but looked at Li Heng from a distance holding a wooden tray, and then smiled and said, "I am going to have a meal with His Majesty, so I won't send Commander Song to you. Keep the things. This is
This palace’s will.”
As she spoke, she walked toward the distance alone. Not long after, palace officials and chamberlains appeared, following the queen as she walked further forward.
Song Lian stood there and held his hands in greeting.
When Li Heng came to him, Song Lian looked at the Tianleaf grass contained in a special glass bottle on the wooden plate. Song Lian still did not reach out to take it.
Seeing him like this, Li Heng smiled and said, "Commander Song, please take it. Since it is the queen's heart, it would be inappropriate to refuse."
Song Lian sighed and said, "I'm worried about your mother's health. This is what she uses to warm herself up."
Li Heng shook his head and said, "What kind of person is the empress? Her virtue is worthy of heaven. Such trivial matters between life and death are really not a big deal to the empress. How can the commander think so much about it?"
When he said these words, Li Heng was also a little sad. He has been following His Majesty the Emperor since he was still the vassal king. He has also been dressing up the Queen for many years, so naturally he has deep feelings for her.
Song Lian nodded and picked up the bottle tremblingly.
Li Heng suddenly reminded, "Whatever your Majesty said or what requests you made, the commander had better take it to heart. Even if it is not for the purpose, you should also think about it, which may be your last concern."
…
…
The Queen Mother walked all the way to the Imperial Study Room, her face turned pale, and it was difficult to see any blood on it, so she stood outside the Imperial Study Room for a long time. The servants did not dare to speak, so they could only stay with them silently until it was over.
After a long time, he slowly walked into the imperial study room.
His Majesty the Emperor's lunch is always eaten in the Imperial Study Room.
After the court dispersed in the morning, Emperor Liang had to review the memorials sent from various places in the imperial study. Although the cabinet had already helped the emperor filter out many memorials that were not enough to be sent to the imperial study, there were still many memorials left.
Seeing the empress walk in, Emperor Liang quickly put down the ink pen in his hand, stood up and came to the empress' side, and helped her to the table that was already filled with dishes.
The two sat down, and Emperor Liang personally served a bowl of soup to the empress, and then said, "You have summoned Song Lian into the palace again. That guy doesn't want to go here recently."
Although he was sitting in the imperial study, nothing that happened in the imperial city could be hidden from him.
Queen, listen to this
, sighed and said, "That's it. His Majesty obviously doesn't care that much in his heart, but he insists on pretending to care so much and makes these people down there panic, and your Majesty will be happy?"
Emperor Liang smiled and said, "If I don't show my attitude towards these things, no one will give up. It's just to scare them, but it's not really about killing them."
The Empress sighed, but didn't say anything. She always didn't care much about these matters in the court.
"Your Majesty, when doing things, you should think more about what the people below think. Some things should be more careful. The sages say that governing the world is like cooking fresh food. It is not so simple. You should restrain your temper."
The Empress smiled and spoke, a little nagging, but Emperor Liang just said a little aggrievedly, "I haven't been careful enough in these years? According to my temper back then, every one of these people has been sent to the north by me.
Be content, I decided to increase military expenditures in the early years. What do they say that the people of the world can no longer suffer? If I hadn't made the northern border impregnable, would they still be here to scold me?"
Being an emperor has never been an easy task. Emperor Liang rarely showed these emotions in front of outsiders. That is, the person in front of him was his queen, so he had these emotions. After all, in his opinion, the queen in front of him
, has always been just his wife, a family member in the true sense.
"Your Majesty, you can start choosing your concubine."
When listening to these words, Emperor Liang's hands trembled a little.
He raised his head and glanced at the Queen. The emotions in his eyes were very complicated, and the sadness in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
"With so many things in the harem, you have to find someone to take care of it. The world also needs a new queen."
The Empress looked at Emperor Liang and said softly, "Your Majesty, please don't lose your temper. There are people in the harem who can shoulder some of the burden for Your Majesty. This is a big thing and must be done."
Emperor Liang was silent for a moment and said calmly, "I will do it."
The Empress nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "I already have some ideas about the identity of that child, but I still need to trouble your Majesty to check it out. If it is really what I think, I would like to get closer to him."
Emperor Liang nodded and said, "I will."
Seeing that the Queen was still talking, Emperor Liang looked at her and shook his head and said, "How about a meal?"
The Empress nodded and didn't say anything more. She just lowered her head and started eating, but she ate very slowly. In fact, she had no appetite these days.
Emperor Liang said, "We still have many things to do."
The Queen smiled softly and said, "I can't accompany Your Majesty."
This time, before Emperor Liang could speak, the Empress smiled and pointed out, "I don't have many days left."
