Wei Zhang suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and a bone-chilling cold rose behind him, raised his hand tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll come after changing my clothes." ”

In the early morning of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, at the beginning of the ugly hour, several auxiliary ministers in the Zichen Hall were there.

Zhou Taiyu and Zhen Molin knelt in front of the dragon couch at one time. Yao Yuanzhi stood in front of a dragon case next to him, the emperor said a sentence on the dragon couch, Yao Yuanzhi wrote a sentence, the emperor said two sentences and stopped, Yao Yuanzhi stood there with a pen and waited.

Outside the hall, Yun Min and Yun Ying knelt at the door of the hall, and then Hui Guifei and all the concubines of the harem knelt under the eaves of the corridor outside the hall.

The cold wind was howling, and the delicate and expensive ladies were each wrapped in a cloak and shivering, Lin Sumo was so weak that he could barely kneel, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted. Behind her, a palace grandmother held the eight-month-old eighth prince in her arms.

The concubine knelt two steps in front of Lin Sumo's left, and the seven princes knelt behind her, seeing Wei Zhang coming in from outside the palace gate, the concubine's resentful gaze swept back, skimming the eighth prince in the arms of the palace grandmother, and then retracted angrily after a slight pause.

When Wei Zhang entered the palace, an edict had already been written, and the emperor had exhausted his last strength, leaning on the couch and gasping for breath.

"Your Majesty, General Wei is here." Wynne reminded softly from the side.

The emperor gasped for a while before opening his eyes and looking at Wei Zhang. Wei Zhang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Minister Wei Zhang kowtows to see the emperor." ”

The emperor nodded and did not speak.

Wei Zhang knelt on the ground and touched the ground with his forehead, and if the emperor didn't speak, he naturally couldn't get up.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and even Yun Ying, who was crying in a low voice, stopped crying.

Everyone didn't know why Emperor Lu Dao had to call Wei Zhang at such a time, and everyone was waiting for the emperor to speak.

But the emperor never spoke, just looked at Wei Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, until the hand held by Yun Ying gradually lost his strength and stiffened.

"Father! Father-" Yun Ying reacted instantly, and fell on the emperor's body and cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty!" Wynne also knelt down.

"Your Majesty—" Several auxiliary ministers in the Zichen Palace, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids, also knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty—" There was a mournful voice outside the main hall.

At three o'clock on the twenty-eighth day of the twenty-eighth month of the thirty-sixth year of Dayun Wende, the emperor died of illness. He was 61 years old.

Emperor Wende reigned for 36 years, recruiting talents, recruiting scholars, emphasizing education, promoting filial piety, performing new policies, revitalizing water conservancy, leveling western Xinjiang, and dangbeikou. There are countless achievements in his life, and he can be called a generation of heroes.

The mournful death knell echoed over Yundu City, and countless ministers and people gathered in front of Suncheon Gate to bow down and cry.

Every household put the big red spring couplets and the big red blessing characters to save the couplets, and the white curtains covered them. The entire Yundu City was white.

Yao Yanyu stood in front of the big dressing mirror and looked at herself in a plain sacrificial dress in the mirror, and sighed helplessly: "Yesterday, I also said that I hope the emperor can survive this year." I didn't expect it to ...... so soon."

"There's no way around it, Madame has done her best." Cuiwei tidied up her dress, and after the most reluctant, she checked her makeup again, and said, "Okay." ”

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the day after the emperor's death. All the ministers of the court and China entered the palace like the emperor's coffin and kowtowed to incense, and Yao Yanyu, as a second-class medical officer, naturally had to go.

After the death of the emperor, Wei Zhang mobilized Jinlin to guard the nine gates of the capital, strictly prohibiting interrogation, and not allowing any suspicious people to enter and exit, in case anyone took the opportunity to cause chaos. This is the new emperor's order, and it should be the emperor's words to tell him before he dies, but he didn't have time to say it.

Yao Yanyu took Cuiwei Cuiping and other medical officials above the fifth grade in the Chinese Medical Hall into the palace to worship Emperor Daxing.

The royal family and the princes and ministers are not allowed to go home for the funeral of the Daxing Emperor in the palace according to the custom, and according to the rules, they are not allowed to freshen up during the funeral, and they all have to be unkempt to express their deep sorrow, and they are not allowed to go home to bathe until the coffin of the Daxing Emperor is sent out of the palace to the imperial tomb for rest.

In addition, the officials of all ministries must keep filial piety in their own yamen, and they are also not allowed to go home, which is no different from those royal relatives and close ministers of the Son of Heaven in the palace.

Yao Yanyu, as a second-grade medical officer, has to follow the routine, but she is pregnant with Liujia, and her movements are already very cumbersome, and it is very inconvenient for women to mix among those men. Yun Ying looked at Yao Yuanzhi and Wei Zhang's faces again, and allowed her not to mourn in the palace, but only to go back to the house and worship in the direction of the palace every day.

After worshipping Emperor Daxing, he came out of the Zichen Hall and walked out slowly with Cuiwei's support.

Wei Zhang is responsible for the security of the palace and even the imperial city, I don't know where Lu Dao is busy at this time, Yao Yanyu didn't see him when he entered the palace this time.

At this time, the emperor has just passed away, and the new monarch has not yet been established, which is the most likely time to cause chaos, and we cannot help but beware of people with intentions to incite chaos.

Yao Yanyu slowly walked out of the palace gate with Cuiwei's hand and walked through the long road, and when she turned the corner, she saw Yun Yao in plain clothes standing in the cold wind, with a thin and slender figure, dressed in men's clothes, if she didn't look carefully, she would definitely be regarded as a handsome son.

Because the emperor was seriously ill a few years ago, all the people in the royal family who were of marriage age got married in a hurry, only Yun Yao was twenty-one years old and still waiting for the boudoir. And he wears men's clothes all day long, soaks in the school field to practice riding and archery martial arts, refuses to stay at home, and turns his face when he hears Princess Cheng say about marriage.

Yao Yanyu stopped and lightly said, "I've seen the county lord." ”

Yun Yao glanced at Cuiwei and Bai Ko Yuguo behind them, and Yao Yanyu turned her head and ordered them: "You guys should step down." ”

Cuiwei and the others did not dare to object, so they had to retire with a blessed body.

"How is the county lord doing in the near future? How is the princess? Yao Yan greeted politely.

"It's all good, thank you for thinking about it." Yun Yao and Yao Yanyu walked side by side in the direction of the outside of the palace, "How are you?" I see you're so stupid, are you about to give birth? ”

"It's going to be more than a month." Yao Yanyu reached out and touched her stomach, and asked again: "I don't know if the princess used the liver and eye clearing pills I sent to the princess a few days ago, and what is the effect?" ”

Yun Yao smiled indifferently and said, "Speaking of me, I was about to thank you." The mother concubine used your pills, her eyes were much clearer, and she was no longer dizzy. ”

"It's good that it works." Yao Yanyu smiled lightly and nodded.

Yun Yao stopped talking, and Yao Yanyu didn't know what to say. It is said that she is already very familiar with Yun Yao, but she still can't figure out what she thinks in her heart. When she was in the bamboo forest of Cheng Cemetery, she obviously found that she was special to Yeqi, and thought that they would become a couple after coming back, but she didn't expect that there was no movement until now.

Could it be that Prince Cheng doesn't agree that Yeqi's status is too low? Yao Yanyu sighed silently from her heart.

It wasn't until she left the Huiji Gate that Yun Yao stopped, turned to Yao Yanyu and said, "I may leave Beijing in a few days, and I have to ask you to worry more about my mother's illness." ”

Yao Yanyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the county master going?" ”

"It's hard to say yet. But ......" Yun Yao glanced at Yao Yanyu's stomach, and smiled indifferently: "I may not be able to drink your full moon wine." ”

Yao Yanyu hurriedly said: "When the county lord comes back, we will make up for you." ”

Yun Yao pursed her mouth slightly, took out a piece of crystal Hetian jade from her purse and handed it over, saying, "This piece of jade is a congratulatory gift for your little doll." ”

Yao Yanyu looked at the white jade without a trace of impurities and the bright yellow tassels on it, and said busily: "This...... It's too expensive. ”

"Everything in the world does not dare to call the word 'precious' compared with life."

Yao Yanyu was a little stunned, she didn't know what Bai Yunyao meant by this, but she still took Meiyu with both hands and thanked her sincerely.

"Walk slowly." Yun Yao smiled and glanced back at Cuiwei and the others, "I'll go back first." ”

"County Lord, please come back." Yao Yanyu was slightly blessed, and the moment she watched Yun Yao turn around and walk back, the moment her emaciated back disappeared at the corner of the red palace wall, she suddenly felt a sense of amazement.

This arrogant and domineering royal lord has been unfriendly to him from the beginning, and has added to the blockage again and again. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, she just doesn't hate her, and even envy her.

As for what she envied, even Yao Yanyu herself couldn't say clearly.

Maybe it's that innocence? That loneliness? Or is it the insistence that defies the world?

I can't think clearly, so I just don't bother thinking about it.

It takes 27 months for ordinary fathers to serve the Que, but the royal family has to focus on state affairs, and the new emperor can serve the Emperor Daxing for 27 days.

Although the bones of Emperor Daxing are not cold, the family cannot be without an owner for a day, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. Although after reading the edict of the former emperor, the ministers were going to call the new monarch 'emperor', but they did not officially ascend the throne, but the name does not speak of success, and the court needs the new monarch who is still immersed in the pain of losing his father to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

In the past, after the first seven days of the first emperor, the Ministry of Rites began to prepare for the new emperor's accession to the throne.

The people of Qin Tianjian watched the stars at night, and selected the 16th day of the first month as the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the new emperor could be enthroned ceremony.

Of course, before the new emperor ascends the throne, there is another very important thing to do, and that is to 'persuade in'.

Three days before the enthronement ceremony, officials of the Ministry of Rites led a persuasion petition group composed of scholars, peasants, workers and elders to submit the "Persuasion Table" to the "Persuasion Table" to respectfully invite the new emperor to ascend the throne.

According to the usual practice, Yun Ying replied after receiving the "Persuasion Form": Reading the notes of the office, you can know that the Qing and others are worried about the country, and they are concerned about the grief and the maintenance of the system.

In other words, my father has just died, and I am still sad and painful, so let's put the matter of ascending the throne later.

Naturally, the ministers will not put this matter back, if they are really obedient and put it back, it is estimated that the officials of the Ministry of Rites will have bad luck. So the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said again: The new monarch is filial, but the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, and we need to invite again. So I combed it again.

Then the quasi-emperor replied, probably saying: I have no talent, no virtue, no achievements, I am afraid I will not be competent.

At this point, the work of persuading the group to be completed is completed. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu fell into the Jimen of the civil and military officials, went to the Chonghua Palace, and then went to the third "Persuasion Table", respectfully inviting the new monarch to ascend the throne.

This time, the new monarch did not immediately refuse, but convened the auxiliary ministers to discuss together, and after a serious meeting, he replied: The heavenly position is extremely important, and it is difficult to be honest for a long time, and the situation is bowing to his life, so he does not dare to be stubborn, and reluctantly obeys what he asks.

So the civil and military Baiguan Mountain shouted long live, celebrating that the Great Cloud Dynasty had a wise new master.

The chief officer of the Qin Heavenly Prison hurriedly stood up, and it was the auspicious day of the zodiac two days later.

Xinjun said again that it was too fast, and he had to wait a little longer. Then the ministers persuaded him, and the new monarch finally agreed.

Such a cumbersome persuasion was a successful completion.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, the fifth emperor of the Great Cloud Dynasty ascended the throne, Yun Ying, under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites, wore a new imperial uniform, first went to the incense case of the Huangji Hall to bow to the heavens, and then went to the Fengxian Hall to bow to the ancestors of the Yun family, and then went to the Jinghe Palace where the former concubine Niangniang lived.

In the early years, Concubine Shu was allowed to live in Buddhism for the fortune of the Great Cloud Country, and has been practicing in the Cixin Nunnery for 12 years, this time the first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and officials from the Ministry of Rites went to ask her to return to the palace to accept the worship of the new monarch, but she was rejected by her as a Buddhist who does not care about worldly things.

When Yun Ying kowtowed in Jinghe Palace, she really shed tears because she missed her mother.

After the new monarch ascended the throne, the first thing was to draw up the temple name of the Daxing Emperor and the year name of the new emperor.

However, these are the affairs of the auxiliary ministers, and Wei Zhang, as a military general, does not need to worry about these, he only needs to pay attention to the turmoil of all parties at any time, nip the chaos in the bud, and ensure the peace and stability of Gyeonggi.

With the completion of the enthronement ceremony, all parties in the capital have also returned to quiet, even if there are still some ill-intentioned people, knowing that the matter has been irretrievable, only to wait for the opportunity to move in the long run.

The night wind howled, Wei Zhang came out of the Qianyuan Hall where the new monarch lived, looked at the inky night sky and thought of the big-bellied lady at home, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

On the 24th day of the first month, the coffin of Emperor Daxing was sent out of the capital city, and the newly enthroned Emperor Jinglong, the prince and the prince, as well as a cadre of civil and military ministers and harem concubines, sent the Emperor Daxing to the imperial tomb to rest.

This group of people is huge, and the security work is naturally very heavy.

Wei Zhang sent He Xi, Tang Xiaoyi, Zhao Dafeng, Ge Hai, Huang Song, Huang Yan, Su Yu'an and others all part, He Tang and the two led the Fierce Eagle Guard to lead the way, and the two brothers Huang Song and Huang Yan followed the coffin of Emperor Daxing. Su Yu'an and Emperor Jinglong's brother Wang Bingyi led a pair of Jinlin guards to protect the emperor closely. Zhao Dafeng and Ge Hai respectively led a pair of people to protect the princes, ministers and harem concubines.

The road from Yundu City to the Imperial Tomb is also a layer of investigation, and the open posts and dark posts are intertwined, which can be described as a strict defense.

There were too many people at the funeral, and the pace of the march was slow. Originally, the imperial tomb could be reached by horseback riding for a day, but the large team walked for five days to arrive. It happens to be the second day of the second month of February, which is the day when the dragon raises its head.

The new emperor arrived at the imperial mausoleum, held a grand sacrificial ceremony, and after the second day of the second month of February, the coffin of the Daxing emperor was sent into the mausoleum.

After everything is settled, it is time to prepare to return to Beijing, the new emperor ascends the throne, Vientiane is renewed, and there are still many things to do, and time really cannot be delayed.

And Wei Zhang was already so anxious that he flew back to the capital with one heart. Because of the calculation of time, Yao Yanyu is about to give birth, and he is not at home at this time!

Before leaving, Emperor Jinglong prayed for his father and the emperor, and swore that he would govern the country according to his father's teachings.

As soon as the emperor got on the dragon chariot in front, a guard hurriedly ran over, bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, Prince Cheng fainted when he got into the car." ”

"What's going on?!" The emperor hurriedly got up and walked back, and asked as he went, "Where is the accompanying imperial doctor?" ”

"Imperial Doctor Bai has passed." Wei Zhang had already heard the news and rushed to answer the emperor's question for the guards.

The emperor frowned and asked, "How is the situation?" Does it matter? ”

"It's hard to say." Wei Zhang replied truthfully.

The emperor quickly led people over, and saw the white-haired Cheng Wang Ye lying on the white fox skin couch in the carriage, and the imperial doctor Bai Nuojing was half-kneeling in front of the couch to give him an injection.

Yun Kun, who was supporting Prince Cheng in the carriage, saw the emperor coming, and was busy putting his father on the couch to kneel and bow, the emperor waved his hand and said: "Fourth brother doesn't need to be polite, what's the matter with the seventh uncle's illness?" "Among the uncles and brothers of Emperor Jinglong, Yun Kun is the fourth, three months older than the fourth prince.

Yun Kun hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, on the night of the emperor's uncle's death, my father vomited a mouthful of blood when he heard the bad news, and then he kept saying that his heart hurt. In the past month, it has not stopped intermittently, and I have been taking pills to relieve the pain. When he just got in the car, his father suddenly looked back at the emperor's uncle's tomb and was motionless, and just as the minister was about to persuade him, his father suddenly vomited blood and fainted. ”

"Hey! Uncle Seven is really ......" Emperor Jinglong sighed deeply, his eyes instantly reddened.

As he spoke, Bai Nuojing took out the silver needle from the middle point of King Cheng's person, and King Cheng's heavy Xu Le woke up in a leisurely breath.

"Uncle Seven?" The emperor slowly squatted down, held Prince Cheng's hand and asked, "How are you?" ”

"Your Majesty......" Prince Cheng said slowly: "I don't want to go back to Beijing." I'm going to stay with my brother here. ”

Emperor Jinglong was stunned in his heart, and persuaded in a low voice: "The seventh uncle is sick, and those who lack medical treatment here can't live." Let's go back with me. ”

Prince Cheng shook his head and said slowly: "My illness is nothing, it's just a lot of pain, let me stay here with the imperial brother for a few more days, and this disease will slowly recover." ”

"Father, the imperial uncle has a spirit in the sky and doesn't want to see you like this!" Yun Kun choked and persuaded.

Prince Cheng shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "Brother Huang is blaming me...... Brother Huang won't forgive me...... It's me who is not good, I think too much, I think too much...... Brother Huang blames me, too! You're welcome! Brother Huang blames me for it......"

Emperor Jinglong sighed deeply, and stopped talking. The people next to him didn't dare to persuade casually, for fear that if they said the wrong thing, they would harm themselves. There were four or five people crowded into the spacious carriage, and everyone did not speak for a while, and the atmosphere became strange.

Fortunately, Wei Zhang had already sent someone to inform Zhen Guogong, and when he was embarrassed, the voice of Princess Ning Hua came from outside the carriage: "How is the seventh child?" ”

Emperor Jinglong hurriedly asked, "Is it the imperial aunt?" ”

Yun Kun hurriedly got up and got out of the car, Bai Jingnuo, Wei Zhang and others also got out of the car and flashed aside.

"Aunt Huang." Emperor Jinglong leaned out of the carriage and sighed in a low voice, "Come and persuade the Seventh Uncle." He had to stay here with his father. ”

The eldest princess Ning Hua helped the eunuch's hand to get into the carriage, and after entering, she directly reprimanded without saying a word: "Old Seven, you are also in your fifties, what kind of childish temper are you playing here?" You're all like this, do you want to stay here and make the imperial brother's mausoleum uneasy? Besides, you are sick like this, how can the juniors return to the city with peace of mind? Do you want everyone to be here with you? ”

Prince Cheng was speechless by the words of the eldest princess Ning Hua, and just looked at the roof of the car and cried silently.

The eldest princess of Ninghua drove people directly and said to Emperor Jinglong: "Your Majesty, let everyone get into the car, the team will go first, and I will talk to your Seventh Emperor Uncle." ”

Emperor Jinglong hurriedly responded: "Then there is Aunt Laohuang." Uncle Seven really can't stay here like this, so it is better to go back for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. My nephew is young, and the stability of the great clouds and rivers is inseparable from the emperor's uncle, and I still pointed to the seventh uncle to take the helm for my nephew. After speaking, Emperor Jinglong got up and got out of the carriage without waiting for Prince Cheng to say anything.

Because Ning Hua Changgong mainly talked to Prince Cheng alone, Yun Kun was pulled away by Wei Zhang.

Long Yuan set off, the large team behind slowly followed, and the group of people went out of the imperial mausoleum to the direction of the capital, and the carriage was busy along the way, raising smoke and dust.

The large team walked for two days and was only halfway there. Seeing that it was getting late, and he was about to camp in the palace in front of him, Wei Zhang called He Xi and Tang Xiaoyi to explain the matter of the emperor's stay.

He Xi has always been steady, Tang Xiaoyi is flexible, and the two of them are simply invincible together. Coupled with the cooperation of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the arrangement of the accommodation of the brigade was orderly.

It's just that Wei Zhang is anxious, it is difficult to be quiet, and he can't wait for the sky to be dark and the sun will not set, so that he can keep hurrying and go back to the capital early.

Long Yuan to the gate of the palace, the royal blue blanket from the gate of the palace all the way to the front of the dragon Yuan, the officials on duty in the palace came forward to kneel down to take over the car, suddenly saw a horse galloping in front of him, the horse galloped to Wei Zhang, the person on the back of the horse rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, panting and went forward to call the Hou Ye directly.

Wei Zhang couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Bastard thing! Shocked, how many heads do you have to cut off? ”

"Yes, the slave is guilty." Only then did the person react, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Ask the emperor to spare his life." ”

Emperor Jinglong frowned, and said lightly: "If there is anything urgent, hurry up." ”

"The slave is the family member of Ninghou Mansion, and he came back and forth to the general on the order of the housekeeper, and the lady is about to give birth...... "The person who came stopped talking halfway, and only quietly looked up at Wei Zhang.

Wei Zhang was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and when he saw that this slave was only half of what he said, he immediately scolded: "Madam is going to give birth, you hurry up to find a doctor and a stable woman, what are you doing here?!" ”

The fourth lady said...... Please go back as soon as possible, Madame's baby is afraid that it will not be so easy to give birth......"

"What did you say?!" When Wei Zhang heard this, he was stupid on the spot.

However, the emperor reacted first and said busily: "Since this is the case, Ning Hou will go back and take a look at Madame first." Anyway, this place is not far from the capital, and I am guarded by a few generals, so it is expected to be fine. ”

Wei Zhang's heart was like a mess, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you for the emperor's compassion!" ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, oh, by the way, I remember that the gynecology holy hand of the Tai Hospital, Imperial Doctor Liao, also accompanied him this time?" If you call him back to Beijing with you, you will say what I say, and you must make sure that Mrs. Yao is okay. ”
