The queen mother died, and the emperor insisted on keeping the spirit, and fainted several times due to excessive sadness.
In order to show filial piety, the fourth elder brother brought a bowl of ginseng soup to visit the emperor at night, but was stopped by Zhen Huan who came out of the Palace of Heart Cultivation.
The reason given by Zhen Huan is: What the emperor needs now is someone who can stabilize the overall situation in front of the queen mother's spirit for him, and sending soup soup is "a little woman's mind".
Zhen Huan's rhetoric here is too far-fetched.
Clause. 1. It is normal for the father to be sick and the son to express concern.
The fourth elder brother only gave a bowl of soup, and watched the emperor leave after drinking, and he didn't return to Shoukang Palace all night, why did he become a "little woman's heart"?
The second is that the emperor takes power too seriously, and hates the prince the most for going beyond the scope of "presiding over the overall situation".
At this moment, the third elder brother no longer has the fourth elder brother to gain face, and the fourth elder brother really doesn't need to show himself too much, which makes the emperor suspicious.
So, why did Zhen Huan desperately prevent the fourth elder brother from entering the palace?
In order to clarify this problem, let's start with the Queen Mother before her death.
At that time, the emperor and all the concubines were there, and the queen mother was unconscious and said nonsense: "You are negative, you agree, the draft is over." ”
This sentence is clearly aimed at Roncodo.
embarrassed the emperor, queen and concubines on the scene!
Because she was worried that the Queen Mother would say more "out of tune" words, the Queen Mother took others away from the current affairs, and only left the Queen Mother and the Emperor in her own room.
Immediately afterwards, when the Queen Mother was alive, she broke up with the emperor for the last time.
So that the Queen Mother held a grudge.
The emperor was sad and angry.
From this situation, it can be seen that the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother and son is very limited.
The relationship between them is not so much a parent-child relationship as a partnership of interests.
In this case, it would be implausible to say that the emperor fell ill because of the empress's death.
So what is the real reason why the emperor kept vigil on a hot day and fainted several times?
I think there are two possibilities.
First: The resentment in the emperor's heart is too sad.
He hated the Queen Mother, and at the last moment of his life, he still thought about "Long Keduo" and "Old Fourteen", the two men he hated the most.
Not only that, the Queen Mother also said: "Your Majesty, you have imprisoned the imperial family, killed each other, and even let go of your own brothers, you will end up with six relatives who will not recognize you and be separated." ”
When someone's mother died, the most unsteady thing in my heart is my children.
And the emperor's biological mother was unwilling to share a little love with him until she died, and she did not tell him a word, but left a few curses.
How could the emperor's heart not nest?
If the emperor has a tendency to self-harm due to resentment and extreme breath holding, he will insist on keeping the spirit until he faints several times.
So, what will the emperor who inherited the queen mother's love of gibberish (when Zhen Huan went to Ganlu Temple that year, the emperor was sick and called "Huan Huan" in his dream) will say in passing?
Do you want to talk about your resentment towards the Queen Mother and even scold Long Keduo and Lao Fourteen in a coma?
If anyone listens to these words, there will be an extra layer of risk.
If they are spread out in the future, then these people who have served the emperor close will not be able to get out of it!
So when Zhen Huan happened to hear the emperor's whispers, she hurriedly walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and she didn't allow the fourth elder brother to pass through the door.
There is also a second possibility that the emperor insisted on keeping the spirit until he fainted a few times—he was pretending to be a ghost!
Just like the queen mother said before she died, the emperor said: "The matter between the emperor's mother and Long Keduo was withheld by his son." I really love Chunyuan, treat Yixiu well, and my son is already very filial!”
In the emperor's heart, he was good enough for the queen mother, but the queen mother was still dissatisfied and did not see her filial piety.
Even so, the emperor may not be able to be touched by the death of the queen mother.
His perseverance before the Spirit was motivated by reasons of honor.
He is physically strong, but he pretends to be overly grieved, faints due to physical exhaustion, and is also creating a "filial piety" character.
In the process of "pretending to be sick", the emperor naturally did not want to be disturbed.
If the fourth elder brother insists on entering the Heart Nourishing Palace and serving the emperor closely, he can easily see through the fact that the emperor is "pretending to be sick", which will put both parties in an embarrassing situation.
Second, during this critical period, words such as "Queen Mother", "Filial Piety", and "Mother-Child Love" were very heart-wrenching to the emperor.
When the unknown fourth elder brother is comforting with kind words, it is easy to unintentionally poke the hidden pain in the emperor's heart, causing the emperor to be unhappy, causing the father and son to separate, which is not beneficial to the future of the fourth elder brother.
Based on the above considerations, Zhen Huan is more willing to use far-fetched excuses such as "little woman's thoughts" to prevent the fourth elder brother from leaving the Heart Cultivation Palace, rather than watching the fourth elder brother participate in the danger.
As for the fourth elder brother, although he is smart and clever, he is not very old after all, and he does not have a good grasp of the subtle relationship between the queen mother and the emperor and the emperor's psychology.
Therefore, the fourth elder brother superficially agreed to the reason given by Zhen Huan that he was not allowed to send the decoction, but in fact he was puzzled.
Maybe he never knew that the reason why Zhen Huan stopped him from entering the Heart Cultivation Hall was actually for the sake of "motherly heart".
What he didn't expect was that if he walked in rashly that day, what he saw and heard was something that should not be understood by him, so what risk did he have to himself.
In this sense, Zhen Huan, as the adoptive mother of the fourth elder brother, has done a very good job.
If it weren't for her help, even if the fourth elder brother relied on his outstanding position, he would definitely take many detours if he could finally ascend to the throne of the God King.
