My mother's love song

Please rest assured, your brothers will take my place in helping His Majesty with his worries in the future."

The one who will inherit the position of Right Minister left by Lord Michinaga is the granddaughter of Fujiwara no Michinaga, the daughter of Fujiwara no Akiko, and the younger sister of the Empress.

The one who will inherit the position of Right Minister left by Rhodes is Fujiwara no Teiko's daughter, who is also the Empress's cousin.

That's it on the surface.

But in fact, both of them were half-sisters of Emperor Go-Ichijo, that is, children born to Rhodes and Empress Akiko and Empress Teiko.

To briefly summarize what happened in the Heian Palace during these thirty years:

The Emperor, the Empress, and the Empress, the three most noble women in Japan, all gave themselves to Rhodes and offered their virginity to him.

The three became Rod's secret lovers and gave birth to several children for him.

Then, these descendants of Rhodes became the next generation of emperor, left minister and right minister.

Eventually, this story was used as the prototype by one of Rod's wives and written into the novel "The Tale of Genji" which has been passed down for thousands of years.

This story can be considered pure love, and Rhode definitely did not use any coercive means such as intimidation or inducement.

She had had a relationship with His Highness Dingzi through the "magic medicine" a long time ago, so it was only natural for her to break the window paper and become Rhodes' mistress.

As for Princess Zhangzi, she once ran into Princess Rod and Princess Dingzi having an affair in the palace.

Princess Sadako mistakenly believed that it was the powerful Ogosho who forced the Queen to submit, so she secretly found Rhodes and proposed the classic plan of "You can do whatever you want to me, but don't do anything to my sister!"

Let me reiterate, Rhodes doesn't have any shady tricks, okay?

He ate the meal from Zhangzi Zhonggong only out of politeness.

Not long

“Gu! You are such a shameless person! Didn’t you promise me that you would never attack Lord Teiko again?!”

"I'm sorry... Your Highness Akiko, I can't leave Your Highness the Ogosho anymore..."

In this way, Rhodes became more and more courageous.

Apart from not daring to tell the two ladies at home [Xiangzi and Nuozi] about this, Rhodes has become completely lawless.

He would even deliberately let the Empress and the Empress serve him together, which was the so-called Fujiwara Imperial Sisters' Donburi...

Until one day, Akiko and Sadako's stomachs began to swell.

Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Concubine are pregnant.

Of course, it was impossible for His Majesty, a daughter, to get them pregnant, and the affair was exposed.

There were three people who knew the inside story: the emperor, Takako who was also the emperor's concubine, and Fujiwara no Michinaga.

When Fujiwara no Takako Tamamonomae learned about this, she was furious.

She packed her bags and moved back to her husband's home [the Imperial Palace] from her mother's house. She didn't speak to her brother for a month, but finally forgave him after Rod's persistence and Sadako and the others' pleas.

Instead, Fujiwara no Michinaga smiled and said, "As long as the interests of the Fujiwara family can be guaranteed, I don't care who the father of the child in Akiko's belly is."

Then, the key lies in the emperor himself who was cheated by Rhodes.

"Actually, I seem to be pregnant with your child. Can I give birth to the baby?"

At that time, the emperor had already been conquered by Rhodes, and he realized the woman in his heart and devoted himself to this man both physically and mentally.

Looking at Tianzi's bulging belly and her yellow-haired brother who proudly put his arm around her shoulders, Tamamonomae's eyes went dark and her consciousness went to Red Enma [Hell].

……

……

……

"I understand your Majesty's plea."

Her Majesty the Queen did not try to persuade him to stay and accepted Rhodes' resignation frankly.

As long as Rhode stayed in the Peace Palace for one more day, she, the emperor, would be like a puppet placed on the throne for appreciation.

Therefore, the Shogun's retirement was a relief for the Empress.

"When does His Majesty the Great Gosho plan to leave the capital?"

The Queen asked this, and immediately realized that there was something wrong with her words.

"Ah, no...! Sorry, I didn't mean to urge you to leave... Really..."

"Well, I know."

Rhode smiled and said, "Next spring. When the weather gets better, we will leave. Before that, I will have to rely on your Majesty's protection."

"Your Highness, thank you very much for your dedication all along."

After saying this, the queen bit her lip.

Although she was not told explicitly, she knew from the reactions of the retired emperor and her mother that she was the bloodline of the Ogosho.

Her Majesty the Queen didn't know how to get along with Rhodes.

He is not only his biological father, but also a powerful official with utmost power in the court, and he once possessed powers beyond those of ghosts and gods.

He is a general who has accomplished great deeds, a hero who has saved the world, and his existence itself is a living legend.

To the girl, her father is such a great man who is too distant and unreal.

Why would a father like that allow himself to become the emperor of this country?

Is it just because Yu is his daughter and her biological mother is also the emperor?

"Well……"

As usual, the empress showed a helpless and stiff attitude when facing the Ogosho.

In the silent and awkward atmosphere, Rhodes spoke.

"Your Majesty, can I take a step forward?"

The Queen was stunned and said, "Eh? It's OK..."

"His Majesty."

Rhode came to the Queen, held her hand tightly, and said softly: "Your mother and this country that I have seized are in my care from now on."

"Okay, okay!"

The Queen was infected by his aura and nodded vigorously subconsciously: "I understand, no... yes, yes! Father"

Rhodes put a finger against her lips, indicating that she didn't need to continue.

Although she is a daughter, she cannot be recognized.

Even though he is my father, I cannot let him stay around me any longer.

This is the fate and curse of being the king of a country.

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Having said this, he stood up.

Under the Queen's gaze, Rhode said, "I have an appointment with the Emperor and his friends later...

By the way, maybe it will increase in the future?

I'll be grateful for your guidance when the time comes."

The Queen asked, "Increase...what do you mean?"

Rhodes replied: "Of course I am referring to your Majesty's brothers and sisters."

“…Huh!?”

Upon hearing this, Her Majesty the Queen turned pale and her lips trembled.

"Just kidding, haha."

Rhodes waved his hand and disappeared at the end of the Qingliang Palace.

"Oh! In order not to cause trouble to my daughter, Daddy has to use contraception tonight!

Finally, let’s splash it on the noble faces of His Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Queen, hehe…”

The above is a small incident that happened on Rhodes’ fiftieth birthday when he knew his destiny.

……

……

……

then

When he came to his senses, he was already in a dark and cold world.

The soundless and colorless landscape tells a clear fact.

Rod is dead.

He was 69 years old.

I had made a bet with Red Yama that I could live to 70 years old, but now I was going to be severely laughed at by the judge.

After resigning from the position of Shogun, Rod left Kyoto, bid farewell to his children, and boarded Onigashima with his wife, sister and adopted daughter.

Rhodes renamed Onigashima to Penglai, where he lived a peaceful life.

Self-sufficient farming life

It is a cause for celebration that Rhodes has finally stopped focusing solely on sowing seeds in the uterus and has also started sowing seeds in the fields.

Nineteen years of peace passed in a flash, and Rhodes also reached the end.

At the end of his life, Rod passed away surrounded by his still beautiful wives and his children and grandchildren who came from Honshu.

The life of this flawless and much-envied man came to an abrupt end.

The place we go to after death is neither the underworld nor hell, but true nothingness.

The soul's destination that no one can reach, where even the concepts of time and space no longer exist.

Rhodes had no idea what would happen next.

I'm afraid that consciousness will completely disappear and cease to exist...

This was the path Rod had chosen for himself, the result of his life as a human being.

Through his own sacrifice, the history of his existence was preserved.

So, there is no regret or fear... just a little bit of regret.

"Aige, I'm sorry... I seem to be dying. I can't go to your place anymore."

Rod's perspective at this moment is overlooking his own body, a bit like Ultraman who is about to merge with his human body.

Behind his consciousness are the supreme Sun Goddess and the Moon Queen.

The adult versions of Amaterasu and Shuyue were laughing at him cruelly. After all, as long as Rhodes' consciousness was completely eliminated, the two sealed ones would regain their freedom.

I say, your beloved brother and your beloved husband are about to die?

Even if it's fake, can't you act a little sad?

Cold-blooded woman, I’ll cry for you to see.

Amaterasu and Shuyue calmly said that once you are dead, they will go out and fight, and the winner will get your body.

What are you going to do with my body?

We don’t know and we don’t dare to ask.

Damn it! If these two women start fighting, the earth will be destroyed again.

"Forget it. It's none of my business. I'm dead anyway."

The sudden huge feeling of nothingness made Rhodes realize that he was really going to die this time.

Then, he could no longer hear the anxious voices of Amaterasu and Shuugetsu.

Consciousness gradually faded away.

"Last words... Oh, right! Say something meaningful, let me think...
