Emperor Jinglu's style in Emperor Fenghe's funeral not only did not attract criticism, but the courtiers instead defended him, saying: Now he is an uncle's generation, and he does not need to keep filial piety for his nephew, but he should have a wide range of concubines and concubines to spread out for the royal family.

At the same time, the Inner Court directly issued an edict with a strange provision, saying:

All the people of the inner court, regardless of whether they are high or low, and who hurt themselves with a golden blade in the palace, the palace people will be cut and killed, and the corpses will be abandoned in the wilderness, and their parents and brothers will be exiled for 3,000 miles; Those who want to commit suicide, who are rescued by others, are hanged and imprisoned, parents and brothers, and sent to Mengxi to be enslaved by soldiers, and female dependents are not allowed to redeem them; The deceased who hanged himself in the palace, presented the corpse naked outside the Dayin Gate for ten days, his parents and brothers abandoned the city, and the rest of the relatives in the five clothes were sent to Ili to be slaved by the soldiers.

That is to say, if anyone in the palace wants to seek death, the dead will expose the body to be displayed outside the palace gate for ten days, and the immediate family members will be executed together, and the relatives of the adjacent family will be exiled;

The whole family that was rescued and did not die was also exiled to the southernmost part of Yunnan as slaves;

Self-harm, I'm sorry, I'm going to exile your whole family after beheading.

This edict is really a little confusing, and it has become a private conversation among the nobles.

Although there were similar regulations in the palace in the past, they were not so strict, not to mention that the previous regulations were only for eunuchs and palace maids.

But now the new forbidden army management palace ban is very strict, even the eunuchs who can go out of the palace to buy in the past can not get out of the palace, the two concubines of De and Liang respect the concubine of Emperor Kangci will take care of the affairs of the harem, and the new official takes office with three fires, and the water in the palace city gives people an unfathomable feeling.

***

Emperor Fenghe's funeral was carried out step by step, and the Ministry of Rites also went to the Ministry of Rites, which was for Emperor Wu, but his widow Empress Roujia never showed up, and the court gave the saying that "Empress Roujia was too sad", as for what it looked like to mourn and ruin, no one knows, so it was exempted from the crying of the princess's wife, which was much simpler.

Until the end of the unitary period, the king of Yuyang returned to the palace from the palace.

The eldest girl beside Concubine Sun, Nong Cui, had been waiting at the second gate, and when she saw the prince, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The princess asked the prince to go." ”

It was not early, the king of Yuyang was tired for a day, his spirit was a little weak, he planned to go back to the room to rest, but after listening to it, he didn't say a word, and went straight to Chunxuan Hall.

There was a sleepy Concubine Sun in the hall.

The king of Yuyang bowed and asked, "What is the command of the mother to summon her son?"

Concubine Sun's head slammed down a little, she was startled in a trance, opened her eyes, saw her son, hurriedly beckoned, and said, "Come and sit down and talk." ”

The king of Yuyang sat down, Chu Long served tea, and stood on the side with Nong Cui, and there was no one else in the room.

Concubine Sun sighed, her eyes full of concern, "Emperor Wu really can't find it?"

The old lady has never cared about the government, and the king of Yuyang thought that she cared about Queen Ling, and said: "It will be half a year, there is no news, I think it is ......."

Concubine Sun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Also, can the imperial court hold a funeral indiscriminately? After a pause, she explained to King Yuyang, "Anyway, our family's life was saved by Emperor Wu, and Empress Ling has the grace of reinvention with us, and the Dudao brothers are flesh and blood, so the prince Lu Wangfu didn't say a word." ”

King Yuyang bowed his head and responded: "My son cares, as long as he can still say a word in the court, he won't let them do anything to the queen." ”

In the past few months, Emperor Jinglu has looked at leniency and treated his subordinates politely, but with his many years of experience in politics, he feels that it is impossible to continue to be stable in the future. Now that the protégés of the various ministries and institutes have either found another way out or been transferred to idle posts, he himself has a sense of panic and anxiety.

But her mother was old, and King Yuyang didn't dare to let her worry too much, so she squeezed out a smile and said: "Mother doesn't need to worry, I have a very close relationship with Yu Qi in the past, and I have always had a reputation for generosity and kindness, so Queen Ling will be fine...... Our house will be fine. ”

"Wealth is like smoke, I'm old, and I can see all of this, but a letter came from Tongling, saying that he would send Jinhong's child back to Beijing soon. Now that the Su family is gone, when Emperor Wu is here, who would dare to mention him? You only have this nephew of your in-laws, so you can take him in and live in peace. ”

Wang Wan of Yuyang didn't expect his mother to be for Su Jinhong.

Looking back, how many things can the old lady pretend to be in her heart, isn't it just her children and grandchildren? It's normal, Su Jinhong and Empress Roujia had such a period, when Emperor Fenghe was in the court, he was his nephew, and he didn't dare to let it go, and now Emperor Jinglu, of course, won't care about this matter, as long as the palace is still there, take it in.

He thought about it carefully, he used to be the so-called four sons of Jinling, but he was afraid that Su Jinhong and Emperor Jinglu still had some friendship, so he respectfully agreed.

Two more words of consolation to Concubine Sun, and the king of Yuyang took his leave.

The housekeeper turned on the lamp and personally served the prince to return to the study to rest, and entered the courtyard gate of the nourishing fast, and then suppressed his voice and said: "According to the prince's wishes, I sent a double copy of the funeral ceremony to the Weiguo Mansion, Wang Ji went to see it on behalf of the concubine first, and the sacrificial tent has been prepared.

The king of Yuyang snorted, waved his hand to let the butler retreat, pushed the door into the study alone, and unbuttoned his clothes and wanted to fall onto the couch.

The candle flame was dim, and a pair of clear eyes stared at him in the dark.

The king of Yuyang suddenly realized, jumped up, and then hurriedly opened the window and looked around, then closed the window again and said in a low voice: "Why are you here?"

The person standing against the wall with his arms standing is tall and handsome, his facial features are like a knife and an axe, and he is elegant in his martial arts.

Xiao Jin smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wang, don't be nervous, I have checked up and down this small courtyard, and no one is ambushed." ”

King Yuyang snorted and walked to his side: "Since you are so capable, why did you miss the assassination?"

Speaking of this stubble, Xiao Jin's complexion inevitably changed slightly, and then he frowned and said: "People have misses, horses have stumbled, we underestimated him." ”

"Why are you here tonight?" King Yuyang was shocked and tired, and he couldn't help but be angry when he spoke, "Since you can hide from the guards who are guarding and come to me, why don't you learn from Li Xingxian and fly away?"

"I want to save someone, and I hope the prince will help me. ”

The king of Yuyang approached him with his hand: "I don't make senseless sacrifices, I don't need to tell me what kind of place the prison of the Military Governor's Institute is, you should know better, Shangguan is cocooned and self-bound, you and I can't be saved even if we fight for our lives." ”

Xiao Jin tilted her head to look at him.

The king of Yuyang was even more angry, and the beard that had not been trimmed during the funeral was cocked, "If you are suspicious, kill me with a knife." (To be continued.) )
