Chapter 169: Wake the Spirit, Choose a Day to Enthrone the Throne

This news caught Qingyuan off guard, and even the eldest princess who assigned the palace eunuch to pass the word was silent for a moment, the sudden death of Emperor Qing, followed by Concubine Rou, the palace fell silent all of a sudden, and the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival also became boring, and the red palace lights in the palace were covered with white veil, and white was everywhere.

Since Concubine Rou's self-hanging was before the word of Emperor Qing arrived, although the result would not be any different, Qing Yuan took into account the danger of the rumors, so he deliberately changed the time in the handling of this matter, that is, to make it public, and Concubine Rou carried out the funeral procedure in accordance with Emperor Qingdi's message.

For the next seven days, the coffin of the Qing Emperor was kept vigil by the remaining palace concubines and princes in turn, and as the most beloved son of the Qing Emperor during his lifetime, Qing Yuan, as the prince, knelt in the mourning hall every day without rest, fulfilling his filial piety as a son of man.

When Liu Rumo waited for the palace eunuch of the Qinzheng Hall to come over, Qingyuan's expression was already numb, his eyes were gloomy, his face was even more dull yellow with extreme fatigue, and the fine and dense stubble was entrenched on his chin.

"Put these notebooks down the novel first, and then move the dwarfs over!" Liu Rumo raised his hand and pointed at it, and after the palace eunuch holding the tray behind him whispered "yes", he held the tray according to Liu Rumo's instructions, knelt carefully at Qingyuan's feet, and whispered: "The slave asks the emperor for peace!" ”

Qing Yuanmu stared at the coffin with a straight face, without the slightest intention of bothering the palace eunuch, the palace eunuch gently put down the tray with interest, and then got up and moved a few short places to put it down. He also moved the stacks of notebooks on the tray to the low table and put them together. Only then did he stand up and return to Liu Rumo: "Master National Teacher." The minions are ready! ”

"Go down first! Inform the Ministry of Etiquette that tomorrow's etiquette must not be missed in the slightest! With a wave of his hand, the palace eunuch immediately took the order and retreated, while Liu Rumo walked slowly to the side of the low table, crossed the skirt with his fingers, and gently stroked it, Yingying sat down.

"Your Majesty, these are the recitals played by the courtiers in recent days. The minister has been classified according to the priority of the incident, please give instructions in turn! ”

Qingyuan was still silent.

Liu Rumo was not in a hurry to urge, lowered his head and took the ink handle, held the sleeve of his right hand in his hand, and grinded it in the inkstone.

A slight sound squirmed into Qingyuan's ears, and he was clear about Liu Rumo's every move, but he didn't want to speak much at this moment, so he simply fell silent.

"Your Majesty, you can start!" A pen was handed to him, and at the same time a slender white finger was stretched out. Liu Rumo's voice was faint and flat. But for no reason, he heard Qingyuan's chest constricting for a while, and after a light cough, Qingyuan eased down, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I'll approve it!" ”

Suddenly changed his mouth to "I", he is still extremely uncomfortable, even since the death of the Qing Emperor seven days ago, Liu Rumo ordered the palace to prepare for the enthronement ceremony for him, and the title was changed, but the Qing Emperor and Concubine Rou passed away not long ago, at the time of the national funeral, he really didn't have the heart to hold the enthronement ceremony at this time, so Liu Rumo did not do much persuasion, according to his intentions to order a qiē from Jane, just the book she will send to the mourning hall every day, watching him finish annotating, by her side to check, No problem, take it away and distribute it to the courtiers who played it.

There will be palace concubines and princes in the mourning hall every day to worship and guard the spirit, but when Liu Rumo comes, no one is allowed to enter the inner hall, this is a conscious move by everyone, after all, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the rest of the princes are still speculating about how the new emperor will settle their future after ascending the throne, so naturally they will not run to the new emperor at this time to dangle and cause trouble.

"Your Majesty, the enthronement ceremony is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, although you are the prince, but you will not ascend the throne for a day, and the country will not be stable for a day, so the minister hopes that after sending the emperor into the mausoleum tomorrow, you can do your best to get out of your sorrow and manage state affairs!"

"I know!" Qingyuan didn't understand the truth of what she said, in the past seven days, Liu Rumo would say such similar things over again every day when he sent the playbook, and took the trouble to say it until he replied before stopping, quietly staring at the content of the annotations on his playbook, and didn't say much when he was wrong, just tapped his fingers on the wrong place twice, meaning that he needed to think about it again, if he really couldn't figure out the treatment plan, he would ask her sideways, and she would give him a detailed analysis of the content of the playbook. Clarify the severity of the incident and the feasible reference method, waiting for his decision.

"Today's recital is not as good as the previous two days!" Qingyuan used a declarative sentence, and as he spoke, he flipped over the three stacks of notebooks in front of him.

Liu Rumo took what he had annotated, put it on the tray and sorted it out, and explained without raising his head: "The reason why there were more in the past few days is that some of them are the transcripts left by the emperor when he was alive and could not be dealt with in time, and some of them are used by the courtiers to test your ability. ”

Qingyuan nodded slightly, put down the pen in his hand, and lay directly on the cold ground backwards, sighing a little: "Rumo, what do you say is good about this position?" My father has lost too much because of this position, including my mother, and now that I have become him, will I lose a lot of things like him in the future? ”

Liu Rumo took a beating on his hand, turned his head to look at him, and was a little confused: "What does the emperor mean by this?" How many people in your position are worried about you, the first emperor values you, will pass this position to you, I believe that you can take the Qingguo to a more prosperous era, to give the people a living environment to live and work in peace and contentment, as for the loss you said, the minister just wants to advise you, there has never been anything in this world that can be obtained without giving up, moreover, how much you have lost, you will be able to get more, so there is no need to pursue these meaningless details! ”

"Heh, you are now like a national teacher!" Qingyuan was a little mocking.

Liu Rumo also did not deny it, "The ministers were entrusted by the first emperor to assist the emperor, and they should obey the holy orders and remember their duties!" ”

Such an official statement refuted Qingyuan's mockery, Liu Rumo became more and more calm in handling things after becoming a national teacher, and the tone of his voice was even more indifferent as if everything had nothing to do with her, even if Qingyuan was full of complaints or anger, he could only swallow back and couldn't say half a sentence in the face of her.

"I've only been seven days like this, and I'm a little out of breath, my father has lived most of his life, I think he must be tired, but I've been thinking about it for the past few days, since he misses his mother, why does he keep asking for Concubine Rou to be martyred?"

Liu Rumo thought about this question for a few days, but she was at a loss, she could faintly feel that there were some potential secrets in the matter of Concubine Rou that were not known, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't think of anything, so she could only quietly investigate and analyze it secretly.

According to the news she has obtained in the past few days, Aunt Xuemei has been serving by Concubine Rou's side, according to her, after Concubine Rou Niangniang moved back to her bedroom from Longao Palace, she is still living her previous life, except for leaving the Qingdi, which is a little lonely, but this is not a big problem.

And the other palace supervisors and palace maids even showed that Roufei Niangniang had no big difference from usual before hanging herself, only on the day of the death of the Qing Emperor, she had been silent since she got up in the morning, and sat in the courtyard after breakfast, until all the princes in the palace set off to go to the temple, the bell of the palace door closed, she went back to the inner room, and it didn't take long for her to be found hanged in the inner hall where she and the Qing Emperor had lived.

However, according to her inference, Concubine Rou must have learned about the Qingdi from where she knew about the death of the Qing Emperor, otherwise there should be no such phenomenon as taciturnity, let alone hang herself in the inner hall early when everyone was not paying attention, she was able to pinch this point in time, obviously she knew something, and she did it herself to show her heart for the Qing Emperor, if you let others do it according to the Qing Emperor's dictation, I am afraid it will not be so affectionate.

Now there are rumors in the palace about how Concubine Rou has a deep affection for Emperor Qing, life and death go hand in hand, and those living palace concubines almost all have asked the palace eunuch or Qingyuan about Emperor Qingdi's message, for fear that she will also be named and martyred, it seems that there are really few people who are willing to accompany Emperor Qing to Huangquan like Concubine Rou.

After Qingyuan saw these palace concubines, he thought about Concubine Rou much better, and even mentioned to Liu Rumo that Concubine Rou was really similar to his mother, and even this temperament was like seven or eight points, so when Concubine Rou was rumored in the palace, Qingyuan made his first will, named Concubine Rou as the imperial concubine, and gave it to be buried with the first emperor.

Concubine Rou's bedroom was sealed according to the will, as the residence of the imperial concubine before her death, and it was also the place where Qingyuan's mother lived back then, this palace was completely blocked, and no one was allowed to enter again, which was regarded as the awe and respect for his mother Concubine Ning and the affectionate Concubine Rou.

Liu Rumo has no objection to this, and when Qingyuan is immersed in the grief of the passing of the Qing Emperor, she has more things to do, that is, to understand the net worth background and activities of the rest of the princes one by one, and then list their handling methods one by one, so that Qingyuan can make arrangements after he ascends the throne, after all, they are all Qingyuan's brothers, he has just ascended the throne, and many things can't be done so quickly, so if you want to handle it properly, she naturally needs to do a lot of foreshadowing work for him.

But the good thing is that Qingli quickly gave her a reply, that is, she didn't need to worry about where he went, because he had asked for his will for himself before Emperor Qing's death, so how to deal with his problem, Liu Rumo didn't have to think about it carefully, but saved a lot of heart.
