On June 4, the Emperor and his ministers held a ceremony at the Temple of Earth to comfort the souls of the dead (to comfort the innocent people who died in this natural disaster). Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The day before, the emperor ordered the burial of the body of the former emperor, and a grand ceremony was also held at that time.

And at noon on the same day, the imperial court paid pensions to the families and affected families of those who died in the natural disaster. Due to the large number of deaths and the severity of the damage, the national treasury pulled out nearly a quarter of the money this time.

The emperor has been laid to rest, the pension for the people has been distributed, and the next step is to comfort those who died in this natural disaster.

Because of these several things in succession, the relevant departments have been busy in the past few days.

But this is the emperor's will, so no one dares to protest, not to mention that everyone understands that the emperor is using actions to alleviate the people's dissatisfaction with him.

This natural disaster, not to mention the emperor, even the people of Qin Tianjian did not expect that the people's dissatisfaction with the emperor could not withstand careful scrutiny.

But the emperor felt that since this incident happened during his reign, he was willing to accept accusations and torture, and naturally he was willing to take practical actions to resolve it.

Grievances and grievances can only be resolved by love.

The ceremony of consoling the dead was more solemn than the ceremony of burying the former emperor, which was requested by the emperor, and the emperor also ordered that the people should be allowed to visit the site.

So early in the morning of June 4, the archway of the Temple of Earth was full of people.

In order to ensure the emperor's personal safety, a total of 200 brocade guards were sent to protect the emperor on this day, and more than 500 soldiers were arranged to help maintain order.

Under the gaze of everyone, the emperor solemnly ascended the altar of Fang Ze (1) and knelt down at the designated kneeling point.

Suddenly, gongs and drums sounded, firecrackers sounded, and a chanting team composed of monks began to chant prayers.

With the increase of the voices of the monks, the momentum of the scene is getting higher and higher, combined with the scene of the crowd, it looks extremely spectacular and shocking for a while.

Some people in the crowd cried, some laughed, some clasped their palms together and chanted along with the monks, and some quietly watched the excitement with their eyes open.

Because of the chanting of the monks, a large number of people joined, so the sound of the voice rose one after another, and finally it was like ten thousand people chanting in unison, the atmosphere was solemn and the feelings were strong.

The Emperor's original apprehension was finally replaced by the enthusiasm of the people, and he bowed in all directions with great satisfaction and reverence.

Heaven and earth are infinite, knowledge is endless, and life is just a life of thought and peace of mind.

May the sea be clear and the rivers will be forever solid.

The day before, the old palace maid who was in charge of Shaohuaxuan's cleaning work suddenly became bedridden for some reason, and Concubine Meng, who was the owner of Shaohuaxuan, had to arrange another palace maid to clean up.

She thought that the old palace maid would get better if she took some medicine and lay down, so she only found someone to replace the old palace maid for a day. However, what I didn't expect was that the old palace maid couldn't even get out of bed the next day, so she had to ask someone to ask Concubine Meng for leave.

Concubine Meng sent someone to find out what kind of disease she had.

The man who sent it soon returned, and reported: "She has a very serious rheumatism, and it is estimated that she will not get better for a while." ”

It's rainy season, and people like her with joint problems are really suffering.

Concubine Meng has a habit of cleanliness, and it is uncomfortable not to clean inside and outside the residence for a day, so she must not lack such a person, she decided to transfer the old palace maid after thinking for a while, and then transfer a smarter and younger one.

However, the older people were not willing to do this errand, so she had to look for it from the old palace maid.

She immediately reported the matter to the Straight Temple Supervisor (2).

There are currently twenty-one palace maids in the direct hall prison who specialize in cleaning, all of whom are nearly fifty years old. Most of them were reluctant to go when they heard that Shaohua Xuan was going to invite someone, because they knew that Concubine Meng had a habit of cleanliness and was more demanding than ordinary people.

But one of them, an old palace maid named Su'e, took the initiative to express her willingness to go.

Gonggong Cao, who was in charge of managing the direct palace supervisor, was very happy and immediately transferred her to Shaohuaxuan.

Su E immediately took the order to Shaohuaxuan to see Concubine Meng.

She had rarely had contact with Concubine Meng before, and she was a little nervous.

Since today is the day when the emperor holds a ceremony to comfort the dead, Concubine Meng is dressed very elegantly, and she looks closer than usual.

Concubine Meng glanced at Su E and saw that it was a person who was nearly fifty years old, but judging from his words and deeds, he did look like a person who could do things well, so although she felt that the other party was a little older, she still reluctantly accepted it.

"Cleaning inside and out three times a day. If you find dust on tables, chairs, doors and windows, wipe them immediately, regardless of the number of times. Concubine Meng said.

"Yes. Su'e replied respectfully.

"Go to work. ”

"Yes. ”

Su E immediately carried the bucket into the inner room to fetch water, and at the same time, she always paid attention to the movements of Concubine Meng's side.

After the sun went down, the emperor returned to the palace, and soon someone came to report the matter to Concubine Meng.

As he spoke, the man whispered some interactions between Sima Yu and the second prince on the return trip.

Su'e was cleaning next door to them, so she leaned against the wall and heard a few words, probably saying that Sima Yu and the second prince had spoken sour words to each other throughout the return trip.

She quietly recorded these words in a small book, put them in her pocket, and in the evening, she came to the pavilion not far from the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and waited for the arrival of Gonggong Liu.

Father-in-law Liu came soon after, looking like he happened to pass by there. Su'e immediately handed him the small notebook in her pocket.

After taking it, Gonggong Liu looked around, and then whispered to her: "You have another book to record the events of the two days, so that the two books can be used in turn." I'll return this one to you tomorrow. ”

"Yes. ”

Gonggong Liu put this small book in his pocket and strode back to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The emperor had finished bathing and was sitting at the couch reading a book.

Gonggong Liu handed him the small notebook.

The emperor opened the small notebook and looked at it, and said, "This person is quite careful and cautious in his work. ”

"Well, according to Gonggong Cao of the direct palace supervisor, this person has served the Empress Dowager for nearly eight years and has won the trust of the Empress Dowager. ”

After hearing this, a slight smile appeared on the emperor's face, and he said, "This is very good!"
