Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 26 I'm Getting Old After All

Listening to the Queen Mother's cries, I remembered the tragic scene in the main hall.

The eyes of everyone headed by Shen Zian also became wet.

Who among the people present has not been favored by Bai Xiang?
The censor with the smallest official position raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said sadly: "In the past, I was so hungry that I couldn't even eat, let alone study. The Prime Minister of the Southern Tour knew about this and left me some money. , let me have books to read, but before I could repay the Prime Minister, he..."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "I used to be a dude who just walked my dog ​​and played with my cat. If I hadn't met the Prime Minister, I wouldn't have changed my mind and embarked on an official career to serve the country."

Another person said: "The Prime Minister and I have been handling official business in the same courtyard. For 15 years, the Prime Minister has never been absent. He has always been the last one to leave. I will never forget the Prime Minister's dedication and dedication to the country." "

"..."

Everyone said some touching words, and the entire apse was filled with tears and sadness.

Qin Fengye almost broke his teeth.

Emperor Yuan Zhen's face was equally ugly.

If he remembered Bai Weiyong's contribution, he would not let Bai Weiyong die.

But his mother and officials were like this. If he insisted on dealing with Bai Weiyong again, he would be putting himself in an unfilial and unjust position.

So, he was a little shaken.

The Queen Mother felt sorry for Bai Weiyong and did not want the old Prime Minister Bai to die miserably in the palace. She wanted the old Prime Minister to return home to see his family for the last time, but she could not force her son.

Seeing Emperor Yuan Zhen's expression change now, you knew that his heart was shaken.

The Queen Mother waved to him: "Emperor, come here."

Emperor Yuan Zhen came to the Queen Mother respectfully, and the Queen Mother motioned for him to sit down.

The chamberlain brought a chair, and Emperor Yuan Zhen sat in front of the Queen Mother: "Mother."

The Queen Mother took Emperor Yuan Zhen's hand, and then grabbed Bai Weiyong's thin and withered hand through the court clothes, and let them hold each other's hands.

The Queen Mother cried and said: "Emperor, when the late emperor left, he gave your hand to Wei Yong. At that time, he said, 'Wei Yong, Yuan Zhen is young and unable to do anything. You have to help him carry this mess.'"

"Aijia was present at that time. In fact, you were already in your twenties at that time. Aijia felt that the late emperor should not have said this. After all, the world wants you to be the master of the country. How could you say this to a minister."

"But after you left, the late emperor took Wei Yong's hand and said, 'Wei Yong, Yuan Zhen is too kind. You can only do this evil person.' The late emperor also said, 'Wei Yong, be stricter with Yuan Zhen. I regret myself. I failed to teach him well, so I can only entrust him to you."

"Emperor, your father loves you the most. He couldn't trust you, so he handed you over to Wei Yong. Don't blame Wei Yong for being too strict with you, and don't blame Wei Yong for being demanding on you."

"You are so kind and innocent. If Wei Yong had not been such a bad person these years, in the first year after your father passed away, we, mother and son, would have been..."

"Actually, Wei Yong doesn't feel well either. He told Ai Jia more than once that as an emperor, you have done a good job and he doesn't want to put so much pressure on you anymore."

"The Ai family is asking Wei Yong to correct your words and deeds at all times. It is easy to start a business but difficult to keep it. The country built by our ancestors has long been no longer as strong as it was in the past after so many years of war."

"Although we all know that you are burdened with a lot and that you have worked hard, we can only be ruthless and impose strict requirements on you, but it must not be to make things difficult. Emperor, you have done a good job, and the Ai family is proud of you."

Emperor Yuan Zhen lowered his head silently.

This old man's hand once held a ruler and hit him hard. He still remembers the pain.

But now, he is so haggard that he may not even have the strength to hold a ruler, right?

You are getting old after all!
Also dying.

After a long time, Emperor Yuan Zhen said: "Mother, I will not pursue the crime of committing suicide in front of the emperor, and let the eldest daughter of the Bai family take him back to the house. If someone says that I have ignored the laws of the country, I will bear the responsibility. Do you think this decision is feasible? "

Emperor Yuan Zhen never mentioned the death of [-] soldiers in the battle. This was the leeway he left for himself.

That's why he was willing to give in.As long as this matter is not resolved, he still has reasons to attack the Bai family.

The Queen Mother naturally knew what Emperor Yuan Zhen was thinking, but she could not force him, lest it would be self-defeating and make him even more angry.

The Queen Mother wiped her tears and sobbed: "It's your decision. You must take good care of the families that were torn apart in this war, and don't hurt the hearts of the people."

All the ministers knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Yuan Zhen lovingly: "Emperor, you see, these are your ministers. If you sympathize with them, they will respect you in turn. People need to be considerate and take care of each other, even if they are monarchs and ministers Same thing."

After saying that, the Queen Mother covered her mouth and coughed violently again.

Emperor Yuan Zhen immediately advised: "Mother, your body is against the law. Don't be too sad. I believe Bai Xiang doesn't want the Queen Mother to be sad and broken. Leave the rest of the matter to your son. You can go back to the palace to rest." , son, let the imperial doctor give you a good look."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, wiped her tears, and stretched out her hand to Yu Jiao: "Jiao Jiao, the Ai family is very sad. Please stay in the palace to accompany the Ai family tonight! We two sad people comfort each other."

This is a grace. Yu Jiao stays with the Queen Mother. If anything happens to the Bai family again, as long as Yu Jiao knows about it, the Queen Mother will also know about it.

Yu Jiao patted Bai Mingwei on the back, then helped the elderly Queen Mother away together.

Bai Ming looked at the figure of the Queen Mother slightly, with tears in her eyes.

This is an extraordinary virtuous queen who once assisted the late emperor in quelling the war and provided relief to the victims. She is the object of admiration among the people.

But now, she is also old!

The hidden wounds left when she was young forced her to withdraw from the center of power, take refuge in the palace to recuperate, and pay no attention to worldly affairs.

But this time, he rushed back for the Bai family.

No wonder my grandfather is so loyal, so considerate of himself, understands his master, and is willing to pay no matter how much he pays.

Grandpa, did you see it?

Others expressed their gratitude for the sacrifice and dedication of the Bai family.

Grandpa, you must live.

After the Empress Dowager left, the ministers did not dare to stay here. They were afraid that Emperor Yuan Zhen would settle accounts with the Empress Autumn, so they all left one after another.

The ministers left one after another. The emperor lowered his head with a gloomy face and said nothing.

Finally, Emperor Yuan Zhen took a deep look at Bai Weiyong, shook his sleeves, and led Qin Fengye away.

After everyone left, Bai Mingwei knelt down in front of the bed, stretched out his hand and slowly arranged his grandfather's clothes.While crying, she said: "Grandpa, you love cleanliness and neatness. Even if you wear shabby clothes, they are spotless and exude the breath of sunshine."

"Mingwei will arrange your clothes so that you can be clean and decent at the last moment."

Cheng Bi knelt down next to Bai Mingwei, tears rolling down her face: "Master Xiang... Miss, please stop crying. Master Xiang will feel distressed when he sees this."

She is a child without parents. It was the prime minister who picked her up and raised her with the young lady.

If it weren't for the Prime Minister, she would have been eaten as a two-legged sheep by hungry people.

But why can’t good people live longer?

The maid who had just brought them to the back hall to secretly see Bai Weiyong emerged from nowhere and said in a lukewarm tone: "Stop crying, Bai Xiang will not die."

Bai Mingwei couldn't believe it: "You...what did you say?"
