Chapter 821: Death (2)
The grandson had already burst into tears.
Emperor Yuanyou's words came into his ears, and the grandson blurted out without thinking: "Okay, grandson will swear an oath." ”
"I, Xiao Xu, swear to heaven today that I will be kind to Uncle Huang and all my cousins and sisters in the future. Never take the initiative to attack any of them. If I violate this oath, I will be destroyed by heaven and earth, and there will be no afterlife. ”
The oath is sonorous and powerful.
Heaven and earth are destroyed, and there will never be an afterlife......
How could he make such a poisonous oath? The crown princess was shocked when she heard this, and subconsciously raised her head.
From her point of view, she could only see the back of her grandson. It wasn't a broad shoulder, but it was as calm as a mountain.
Gu Wanning was also looking at his grandson.
King Qi and King Wei, they may have thought that Taisun was perfunctory Emperor Yuanyou. Only she knows how serious Xiao Xu is at this moment. He truly loved his grandfather and could not bear to disobey his last wishes.
Emperor Yuanyou obviously also knew the temperament of the eldest grandson he brought up, and when he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes were full of relief: "Okay, what you say in person, I believe you." ”
Then, Emperor Yuanyou looked at King Qi and King Han who were kneeling on the edge of the dragon collapse, and his eyes finally fell on King Qi's tearful face: "Third child, you also swear to me." You must be loyal to the Son of Heaven, and you will never have a heart of rebellion. Otherwise, even if I go underground, I will never spare you, a disobedient and unfilial son. ”
King Qi wept and said: "The son hereby swears to his father that he will be loyal to the Son of Heaven and will never dare to have a rebellious heart. If this oath is violated, let the sons thunder and thunder, and they will not die well. ”
Emperor Yuanyou looked at the King of Wei and the King of Han again.
The two had no choice but to swear a poisonous oath one by one.
Emperor Yuanyou smiled, then closed his dragon eyes with peace of mind, and passed away suddenly.
A generation of Son of Heaven died and returned to heaven.
……
In the Funing Palace, the cry shook the sky.
One hundred and eight death knells rang out.
When the officials of the whole capital heard the sound of the death knell, they all turned miserable, wept for a long time, and knelt down facing the direction of the palace.
The people of the capital also heard the sound of the death knell, one after another, and the huge mournful sound echoed endlessly in mid-air, which made people's hearts stir.
I don't know who knelt down first and shouted: "The emperor has returned to heaven!"
Then, the second and third......
On the streets, in restaurants, in teahouses, in people's homes, there are kneeling and crying people everywhere.
The emperor has returned to heaven.
The Son of Heaven who supported the Great Qin Sky was gone. Daqin's sky also collapsed in half.
Ordinary people have never seen Emperor Yuanyou, but in their hearts, Emperor Yuanyou is the supreme existence. With him sitting in the palace, the hearts of the people will be steady. Emperor Yuanyou died, and their hearts were shaken, as if they had been thrown under the cliff, and they didn't know where to go.
……
The sad weeping of the people was only temporary. When the new Son of Heaven ascends the throne, the world is too peaceful and stable, and they will soon return to normal.
The sadness of the officials is sad and deep.
Emperor Yuanyou has been in power for many years, and he is majestic and solemn, and he has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He never kills innocents indiscriminately, and he rarely gets angry with officials. He governs diligently, loves the people, and can be called a generation of wise monarchs.
Now that Emperor Yuanyou is dead, the next step should be the young grandson to succeed him. No one knows what the grandson will look like after sitting on the dragon chair.
The elderly first assistant Li Ge Lao, the second assistant Fu Ge Lao, as well as Zhao Ge Lao and other important ministers, entered the palace one after another to kneel to send off the Son of Heaven.
Emperor Yuanyou left suddenly and in a hurry, and the funeral in the palace was not fully prepared. However, the grandson was originally guarding filial piety, and he was wearing plain clothes, which was not rude.
When the ministers saw the grandson with red eyes and a sad face, they immediately burst into tears.
"The emperor has returned to heaven, and I hope that His Royal Highness will mourn and take care of the emperor's posthumous affairs first. "A handful of old Li Ge, the first assistant with white hair and beard, trembled when he spoke, old tears were horizontal, and his voice was choked.
Taisun cried bitterly, and his voice was already hoarse: "What Elder Li Ge said is that Concubine Mu and A Ning are already in charge of the funeral in the palace. I also asked the Ministry of Rites to issue a charter so that they would not have any omissions. ”
Luo Shangshu took a step forward and bowed his hand solemnly.
Fu Ge Lao's face was full of sorrow, and he said in a low voice: "The emperor died and returned to heaven, according to the old system of the ancestors, he should stop the spirit for 9981 days, and then be buried in a coffin by the filial son and grandson." Now His Royal Highness is in charge of both inside and outside the palace, and His Royal Highness must not hurt his body too sadly. ”
From the moment Emperor Yuanyou closed his eyes, Taisun became the master of this palace. Although there are higher-ranking Qi kings, Wei kings, and Han kings, from the funeral to everything inside and outside the palace, it is up to the grandson to make the decision.
At this time, Taisun must not be boiled down, and he must not even show a weak and tired appearance. Otherwise, it is easy for people to take advantage of it.
Fu Ge Lao's vague reminder slowly injected a warm current into Taisun's cold heart.
"Fu Ge don't worry, I will be more careful. Taisun replied in a low voice.
Then, Zhao Ge Lao also stepped forward, with a pair of red eyes and tears on his face: "Your Highness, the old minister wants to stay in the palace with a cheeky face and guard the emperor's spirit." ”
The death of the Son of Heaven and the important ministers of the court and the central government are also old precedents.
Regardless of whether Zhao Ge always revealed his true feelings or false feelings, since he took the initiative to mention it, Taisun would not refuse, and he responded in one bite: "Okay!"
The ministers who came with them immediately asked for a vigil.
Taisun swept his eyes and opened his mouth to say: "If Zhu Aiqing has this heart, let's stay!"
……
"Qi Yu Niangniang, several pavilion elders and Luo Shangshu and others are going to leave a guard. His Royal Highness ordered the servants to come and report to the mother. As soon as Emperor Yuanyou died, Gonggong Li suddenly aged a lot, his waist bent down unconsciously, and his voice was hoarse.
The crown princess was stunned when she heard this, and she couldn't react for a while.
Gu Wanning's eyes swept over, and he said in a deep voice: "Please ask Gonggong Li to call His Royal Highness back, just say that the concubine already knows." Tonight, a simple meal will be prepared for several cabinet elders and officials, as well as a thin quilt to keep out the cold. ”
Gonggong Li answered, and quietly retreated.
The crown princess only reacted at this time, and couldn't help but secretly blame herself.
Yes, the elders are not young, where can they afford to toss. In case of illness, it would not be good to follow Emperor Yuanyou to go underground. It's really time to prepare meals and quilts.
Such a simple thing, she was stunned, she didn't expect it!
Gu Wanning seemed to have seen through the crown princess's thoughts, and said softly: "The emperor's grandfather died suddenly, and the mother concubine was too sad, and it was inevitable that she would not think about it for a while. ”
"From this day onwards, we will have to keep the spirit for eighty-one days. The mother concubine has to be energetic. ”
The crown princess took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, looked at Gu Wanning's stomach, and couldn't help frowning worriedly.
Eighty-one days, how can she survive.
But what should Gu Wanning do?
She can't wait so long for this belly.
