She could not enjoy the favor of the emperor during her lifetime, but after her death she would end up with the honor of the Queen Mother. When she passed away, her posthumous title was: Ai.
The Empress Dowager Ai ended her tragic life. She was laid to rest for three days and buried on the fifth day. Nine days later, Emperor Tianwu announced that the sixth prince, Xuan Tianfeng, would be the Emperor of Tianwen.
In the first year of Tianwen, a hundred days after the death of the Empress Dowager, the new emperor followed the order of the "six rites" agreed in the "Book of Rites", and formally appointed General Pingnan after accepting the offer, asking for the name, accepting the invitation, accepting the expedition, and announcing the deadline.
, married Ren Xifeng, the general’s legitimate daughter, and made her the queen.
The difference is that the royal wedding ceremony does not include the "personal welcome" at the end of the six rites, because although the emperor can give out betrothal gifts, he can never come to welcome the bride in person, so the queen's family will ceremoniously send their daughter to the door.
Enter through Deyang Gate, pass through Tianci Gate, pass through Meridian Gate, and take Changyang Avenue until you reach the Qiankun Hall.
The Empress Ceremony was held in the Qiankun Hall. It was very grand. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager came in person to accept the Empress's obeisance. Afterwards, the Emperor and Empress sat on the Dragon Chair and the Phoenix Seat, receiving congratulations from all the officials. Finally, the Empress received the Phoenix Seal and raised it above her head.
, to show that the mother will honor the world from now on.
The new emperor announced in public that he would only have one person in the palace in his lifetime, and there would be no room for other concubines. Anyone who submitted a memorial to ask for a concubine would be punished as treason.
The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the whole world. There was cheering all over the world, and the literati felt that they saw hope. Dashun finally had an emperor who respected literature, which was the pride of scholars.
At that time, Feng Yuheng was taking Zi Rui to pick mushrooms in the mountains to the west of Xiping Village. It was the beginning of winter, the weather was cold in the northwest, and the snow fell early. Although there were mushrooms, there were not many. Feng Yuheng used the space to pick her mushrooms.
Zirui Wangchuan Huangquan and Ban Zoudu each had their down jackets altered. Her craftsmanship was not good, so she asked an old tailor in Xiping Village for help. She asked for money afterward, but the old tailor said nothing and only said that in the past Yao
When I lived here with my two siblings, I also asked him to help me cut clothes, but at that time he was afraid that people in the county would cause trouble for this, so he didn't agree.
After all, when the three Yao family members were brought here, the county said that they were abandoned women in the capital who were kicked out of the palace by the Prime Minister's Office and sent to the village to fend for themselves. The people in the village had little knowledge and little courage.
They all sympathized with the Yaos, mother and daughter, but in the end they were fooled by the county officials, so few people dared to make friends with them.
Every time the old tailor thought about what happened back then, he felt guilty and kept telling Feng Yuheng: "It's all my fault for being cowardly. You were so pitiful back then, but I didn't even dare to sew a piece of clothing because I was afraid of trouble from the county.
As a result, you didn't have any decent clothes all winter, and the young master got sick several times. Now that I do something for you, I can't collect money anymore, and I can't even feel at ease!"
But how could Feng Yuheng let him work in vain? Speaking of which, when people refused to help, it was because of the situation. It had nothing to do with these people. If she really wanted to hate him, she only hated Wang Shugen and his wife for doing so.
Money killed the original owner. Murder pays for life. Xuan Tianming had settled this debt for her many years ago. After all, Xuan Tianming also watched what happened in the mountains, and his wife
When my son was bullied, he had such a temperament that he was determined to retaliate. How could he be so lenient?
Zirui pulled down the collar of his clothes and said happily: "These clothes that my sister made are not only warm and comfortable, but also very light. Although they look a little strange, they are not ugly. They are really good." As he said,
Then he raised his hand and pointed at the colorful mushrooms growing on a tree and said: "I didn't understand before, but now I know that brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous and cannot be eaten. Sister, am I right?"
Feng Yuheng nodded: "That's right. It's not just about mushrooms. Many principles in this world are the same. You must not judge people by their appearance. Many times, the more beautiful the person, the more he has a heart like a poisonous scorpion. On the contrary,
It’s easy to get along with someone if you have a mediocre appearance.”
"Is it like the eldest sister before?" Zi Rui sighed: "If the eldest sister and her mother were not so bad, our Feng family would still be very harmonious."
"Her mother can't be entirely blamed for what happened back then." Feng Yuheng said something fair: "You were too young before, so I was afraid that you wouldn't understand some truths, so I never said much. Now that you have grown up, my son
Rui, my sister is asking you, what if a woman who was your childhood sweetheart spent all her family wealth to support you in order to gain fame in your scientific examination, and also voluntarily stayed in your hometown to take care of your mother. You are the one who asked to marry for your own career after you obtained your academic fame.
I married another woman, do you think this is fair to my childhood sweetheart?"
Zi Rui shook his head: "It's not just unfair, it's damning."
"Shen is that childhood sweetheart." She told Zi Rui, "Our father is the young master who went to Beijing to take the exam and won the top prize. In order to gain a foothold in the capital, he proposed marriage to the Yao family and married our mother.
The principal wife. The old lady who stayed in her hometown to be taken care of is the grandmother of Feng Mansion. Do you think that if this matter were viewed from Shen's perspective, would what she did not be so hateful?
"
Zi Rui took a deep breath. He had known some of these things before, but he had never considered the problem from Shen's perspective. Now when his sister said it, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that things in the world really cannot be dealt with simply
Just look at one side, everything has multiple sides. If you stand on the side of the non-faceted side, you can see different truths. So, sister, shouldn’t we hate Mrs. Shen? What she did
Are all things excusable? Or...is it our mother's fault that we stole her childhood sweetheart?"
Feng Yuheng shook her head: "No, I still have to hate her because she was wrong. She was wrong because she shouldn't have put her pain on others, and she shouldn't have let her emotions go to murder others. Even though she
It's pitiful, but what we have done over the years has made that pity disappear. As for our mother, she has lived in the capital since she was a child. She only knows that Feng Jinyuan is the number one scholar, so how does she know that there are people in her hometown?
A woman who has been waiting for him for many years? Speaking of which, the person who should be hated the most is Feng Jinyuan. But he also paid the due price for his own mistakes, so it is not unreasonable to say that good and evil will eventually be rewarded.
The time has not yet come to retaliate.”
"But now that times have changed, we should no longer have hatred in our hearts, right?" Zi Rui said: "Sir, forgiveness is the greatest virtue, sister, is that true?"
"Yes." She was very happy that Zi Rui became a disciple of the imperial master Ye Rong. Ye Rong's teachings to Zi Rui were not biased at all and brought out all the good things in this child's heart.
The two siblings held hands and continued walking into the mountains. Wangchuan followed them all the way and suggested: "I heard from the villagers that there are always wild boars in the mountains. It would be best for us to meet one and hunt one so that we can share it with the villagers when we go back."
One point. In this winter, a pot of hot butchered vegetables will taste very enjoyable."
Just as he was talking, he felt movement coming from behind. It was someone running up the mountain quickly towards where they were. The speed was as fast as an arrow leaving the string, and they were in front of the three of them in a few breaths.
Wangchuan smiled and said, "I knew you must have bullied Ban into carrying you up the mountain, otherwise you wouldn't be so fast with your deceiving Qinggong."
The visitors were Huang Quan and Ban Zuo. After hearing Wang Chuan making fun of her, Huang Quan gave up and reached out to scratch Wang Chuan's itch. The two laughed together. On the other hand, Ban Zuo said to Feng Yu Heng: "
News came from the capital that the emperor and Miss Ren were getting married, and a general amnesty was issued. Many people were released from the county jail, and everyone knelt down in the direction of the capital to thank the emperor for his pardon."
Feng Yuheng was stunned, feeling that time was rushing by. It seemed that not long after she returned to Xiping Village, the sixth prince and Ren Xifeng had already gotten married. Now, Ren Xifeng is the queen.
She laughed and said, "It's great. Everyone is living the life they want. It's great."
Huang Quan also smiled and said: "Yes! The new queen's decree has also been issued. Now all girls in Dashun can join the school like boys at the age of six. A girl's life no longer only revolves around music, chess, calligraphy, painting and women's education.
When we are red, we can go to school and work just like men, and we no longer have to stay at home like before."
This news made Feng Yuheng very interested. She once told Ren Xifeng some things about future generations. Of course, she couldn't explain it explicitly. She just told her that women's life is not limited to deep houses and inner courtyards. They can also work and study like men.
It is a bad habit for women to stay at home. Sooner or later, the world will eliminate it. If she had the chance, she hopes to get rid of this bad habit as soon as possible, so that women all over the world can live a completely different life.
Unexpectedly, Ren Xifeng actually remembered it, which really surprised her. She asked Huang Quan: "Besides these, is there anything else?"
"Yes." Huang Quan said with a smile: "Women can also take the scientific examination and enter the palace to be female officials. The test questions are no different from men. As long as they can pass the scientific examination, from the provincial examination to the palace examination, those with excellent results can even become
Prime Minister. In short, there is no difference between women and men in Dashun now. Everything is equal. Oh, by the way, what else... maternity leave. The Queen has said that if a woman goes out to work and is pregnant and has a child, she must enjoy maternity leave.
During the maternity leave period, the employer still has to pay wages."
Feng Yuheng listened and felt that it was a great blessing that Ren Xifeng became the queen. She was not a woman confined to the inner courtyard of a deep house. She was generous and free and easy, decisive in her work, and very receptive to new things. Now that she is in charge of the middle palace,
It's really exciting to see such a change in the world after chanting the first imperial edict.
A few people continued to march in the mountains talking and laughing, and were thinking about taking the wild boar down the mountain. However, at this moment, Feng Yuheng felt a breeze blowing by her ears, as if something huge was passing through the forest at a very fast speed.
Extremely fast, even faster than Ban Zou who had just carried Huang Quan up the mountain.
A strong sense of crisis came over her instantly. Because they were looking for wild boars, the people who went up the mountain walked separately. Although they were not far away and were all within sight, the thing was coming so fast that it was too fast for her.
After thinking about it for a moment longer, I felt a black cloud coming over my head, followed by a roar of a wild beast.
Feng Yuheng looked up at the last moment, and what came towards her face was a huge black bear...
