The enthronement ceremony ended smoothly in the atmosphere of urgency and depression of the courtiers, and the heads of the officials who supported the eldest prince were almost hanging to their chests, and they did not dare to look at the eldest prince and hide behind the people.

is waiting for the new emperor to say that the ministers can go home, as the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, the palace is not a place for people to stay, and the dull and depressing atmosphere alone is enough to make people breathless.

Not only did the eldest prince not give up, how could the officials who supported the eldest prince switch to the camp so quickly, the unwillingness in their hearts was no less than that of the eldest prince, the eldest prince was stronger than the third prince in any aspect, and they were unwilling to listen to the orders of a young prince.

A variety of ideas accumulated, but at this time, I couldn't open my mouth, and my eyes flew in my heart, but I didn't know if my colleagues had received and deeply understood the meaning in their eyes.

There is a saying how to say, the plan can't catch up with the changes, people's ideas are changing every time, just like the holy decree issued by the new emperor, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military hopes are once again shattered and can't step out of the palace gate half a step.

The ministers who had not slept all night were a little irritable when they heard this, what is this, why are they not allowed to return to the house, and there is no royal law, what is this not taking courtiers hostage? It was so shameless that many courtiers were indignant.

There are unsatisfied officials who stand up and fight for reason to take back their own power, but the words blurted out implied accusations, Mu Jinming remained unchanged as usual, coldly watching the courtiers below foaming at the mouth, the more they heard the more harsh they became, and they had lost the courtesy that courtiers should have.

In the end, Mu Jinming asked the courtiers to stay until the emperor's big act on the grounds that his father was dying, which was to save the courtiers time to enter the palace again, so wait.

The new emperor's explanation is too high-sounding. How do you know when the emperor will make a big move, and I am not afraid that the emperor will be angry to death by the new emperor when he hears it, isn't this concerned about urging the emperor to die first! Such a big rebellion is all spoken.

It is not wrong for the emperor to enter the palace and meet the last face. can be said from the mouth of the new emperor, how to listen to it and how it tastes wrong. Some officials took the handle of the new emperor and intended to sue the emperor in front of him, suppressing the arrogance of the new emperor with filial piety. It is said that the new emperor means murdering the emperor, and the emperor still has a breath, and he was angry to death by the new emperor. There's a lot to do here.

As soon as the idea was turned, he was stopped by a colleague with a look, and doing such a thing at this time was tantamount to burning oil on the fire for the eldest prince's faction, and the good result was not sure that a catastrophe was coming.

Calm down and ponder carefully, the cold sweat that broke out in shock, the new emperor dared to say this in public, did he have the intention of seducing the courtiers. Once this law is implemented, it is in the hands of the new emperor. The eldest prince's faction may really be over, and the new emperor is likely to be the main guest in the end, saying that the eldest prince intends to usurp the throne with bad intentions, and the good guy was almost fooled, but fortunately, he wiped a cold sweat and didn't dare to have other thoughts.

The ministers had no objections, and they were collectively taken back to the side hall to wait, and the palace was in charge of food. In front of me, I was refining in the tempting delicacies, how could I be in the mood to enjoy, and hastily took a few bites. Eating in the mouth tastes the same as chewing wax and the heart is miserable.

The ministers have an estimate in their hearts, it seems that there is no place to sleep tonight, and I don't know how long it will take to finish, there are officials who are really not particular and extremely sleepy, and they can only have the will to fight when they put on a more comfortable posture on the chair and sleep first to nourish their spirits.

There were several officials snoring in the side hall from time to time, one after another, this one beat the next one, like a game wrapped around the ears, disturbing the other officials' heads as big as a fight, and they couldn't really go up and slap the sound maker to relieve their anger, you have to endure it, what is this called!

When an official wanted to raise a loudspeaker and ask for a place to rest, the little eunuch ran out of the side hall to spread the word, and the official was angry and ignored his grievances, how can there be no room for sleeping in the palace so big, even if the house arrest of the change of direction is always complete, is there such a teasing of the courtiers?

There was nowhere to hold back the fire, because a small sleep request could not be controlled, and the anger was enough to tear down the roof.

The new emperor has no power of his own, and if he wants to sit firmly in the court, he needs to win over the courtiers for his own drive, and many officials have made bold demands on this point, and it is not a problem to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, just in order to have a peaceful life to change to a place with a bed?

The officials who were waiting for the good news were thinking about the soft bed that was coming, and after a while, the little eunuch came back, and the words relayed made the officials bite a bite of silver teeth.

The little eunuch replied like this, the new emperor said that he and the wing king couldn't sleep all night and worried about the emperor's illness, he didn't feel tired, and the courtiers who sat all night were disgusted to get up without a bed to sleep, and the emperor was seriously ill as a subordinate who didn't want to share the emperor's worries and think about some pleasures, and he had the courage to petition, and he could sleep better than him, the new emperor.

Ignoring the emperor's dragon body safety The big hat is buttoned down, and no official is unsatisfactory, he has to beat his teeth and swallow blood if he is unwilling, ignoring the emperor's illness and only caring about his own pillow, who can afford this kind of big disrespectful crime, and it is light to make a bad family distribution.

The steaming anger in the hearts of the courtiers was poured down by this basin of ice water, and from the inside to the outside it was even colder than the bitter cold day of January.

From this, it seems that the new emperor is not afraid of which side the officials of the court and the central government are on, whether they serve the new emperor, and the officials who have been confused by repeated blows can't help but be puzzled, what is the basis of the new emperor, and he does not hesitate to offend the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, it should not be like this at all, which link is the problem, or they have ignored it from the beginning.

The officials fell into deep thought, and the ugly sound of snoring in the hall no longer felt so harsh in the ears of the ministers who were far away, and devoted themselves to guessing the puzzle.

In the eyes of the courtiers, the three princes Mu Jinming did not have any shots, and there were not too many hole cards to drive, so when did the three princes have the momentum to turn the tide? Could it be that he has secretly cultivated his own power, it shouldn't be, any movement of the three princes is under the surveillance of the eldest prince. It's impossible to be caught off guard, so what's the problem?

Wing King? No, no matter how capable a girl is, she can manage an acre and three points of land like the Ministry of Industry. The outside world has almost taken the Wing King out of shape, and in the eyes of these old foxes, the Wing King is definitely not a good ally.

Wait, someone had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and the whole person suddenly became enlightened, how could he forget that behind the Wing King was standing the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, Ouyang Ye held heavy power, although he was a civil official, he was more powerful than a military attaché. The intertwined relationship network behind it has rarely been investigated so far, and the status is not exaggerated, and the third prince leans on the big tree of Ouyang Ye to be able to hold up his arrogance.

Thinking like this, many officials turned their eyes to Ouyang Ye, who was sitting on a chair and closed his eyes to recuperate. Many people remember every scene from last night to the present, and find out the details to verify their guesses.

When the holy decree of succession was read, because he was so focused on the content of the holy decree, he neglected to observe Ouyang Ye's expression at that time, but the next qiqi seemed to be reading according to the script, but there was a little calm. As if I had known it was useless. If there is not the slightest opposition, there must be something strange in it.

Many officials are convinced that Ouyang Ye definitely knows the inside story, and the Wing King is the treasure in the emperor's palm, and before he dies, he can not reveal a slick of the news, and he doesn't believe that Ouyang Ye doesn't know anything about killing the ministers.

With this thought, many officials looked at Ouyang Ye's eyes more and more weirdly, if it weren't for the fact that they were still rational. Knowing where he was, he couldn't help but step forward and grab Ouyang Ye and ask for an understanding.

Ouyang Ye, who was placed by the tide of chao, was in a misty situation that seemed to be asleep but not asleep. I didn't know that my colleagues around me had a new understanding of me.

As the time limit given by Imperial Physician Xu, Mu Haoyu did not survive this night, Mu Jinming and Xi Chao no longer took care of the courtiers in the side hall who were thinking about everything, kneeling in front of their father's bed and crying wordlessly, after all, they could not withstand the erosion of the disease, and the vitality in the body gradually decayed.

"Together, work together to defend the country of Mu." Mu Haoyu's strong guilt was reluctant to accumulate in his heart, and no matter how many words he spoke, he couldn't keep the sorrow in his heart.

"Yes, my son will never live up to my father's expectations." Mu Jinming witnessed the departure of his relatives, and the complicated feelings were difficult to control.

"Take care of yourself." Mu Haoyu looked at his little daughter who was crying silently and sighed, "Take care of Chao'er." ”

"The harem concubines are all martyred except for those who have given birth." Mu Haoyu must not leave the harem this disaster, the court has not stabilized the traces of people's hearts, the harem will come to stir up the situation again, relying on the name of the former imperial concubine to cause chaos to the two children, if the former harem colludes and calculates his own children, the two phases are sandwiched and the lower abdomen and back are attacked, if all of them are killed to eliminate the hidden danger.

Li Desheng listened to the order and went to write the holy decree, and now there are only three palace concubines in the harem who have children, and they have a supple and untroublesome temperament, and they will avoid death for the sake of having a princess and the princess is still young, and the harem will be emptied more than half at once.

"Father!" Xi Chao couldn't hold back her feelings and pounced on her father, she was reluctant to hurt her relatives.

"Good boy." Mu Haoyu touched the top of his little daughter's hair, knowing that he was returning to the light at this time.

Big tears came out of his eyes and fell on Mu Haoyu's other hand, burning to the bones, his hand couldn't help but tremble, sadness permeated the whole body and mind, after all, he was careless and caused the two children to bear the fate of a country prematurely.

"Ming'er." Mu Haoyu called his youngest son's name in a low voice and motioned for his youngest son to sit beside him.

"You two have to be strong." All Mu Haoyu could say was to encourage the two children to cheer up.

"Never give up!" Mu Haoyu put the hands of the two children in the palm of his hand and held them tightly, the children's hands were so small, so weak, I really didn't want to see the two children have to have their hands covered with blood in order to survive, it shouldn't be a young heart.

"Never leave." Mu Jinming choked up and said, "Father, don't worry." ”

Mu Haoyu looked at his little daughter with a shallow smile, caressing his little daughter's messy green silk, silky and smooth touch, so reluctant to leave, his children are still too young.

"Never leave." Xi Chao couldn't cry, suddenly broke free from his father's hand and found a short dagger, cut off a strand of his hair, and tied it tightly on his father's chest with a red rope, "I will always be with my father." ”

Mu Jinming followed the practice of the Xi Dynasty, and also cut off a strand of his hair and tied it, and the two strands were combined into one strand and put together.

Mu Haoyu was infected by the actions of the two children, and held back his tears and motioned for his hair to be distributed to the two children, which was the only thing he left in the world, hoping to bless the two children with a smooth life.

Hold the strands of hair in your hands. Mu Haoyu said word by word: "I am with you." ”

"Father!" It is too difficult for the Xi Dynasty to give up this hard-won family affection.

In the end, Mu Haoyu couldn't resist the dissipation of vitality, and passed away with a smile, holding two strands of hair tightly in his hands on his chest.

The death knell that heralded the emperor's death sounded. The people in the palace knelt down together, and the courtiers who were sleeping or thinking in the side hall were startled first, and they couldn't reflect it for a long time.

The courtiers got up from their chairs, and some of them almost sat on the ground because of the numbness of their hands and feet, but fortunately they were not ashamed, and they gathered at the door, wanting to inquire but could not open their mouths. He didn't dare to take a step out of the side hall until Li Desheng personally came to invite him.

It really didn't survive tonight, and the courtier's face showed sadness. It doesn't matter if it's pretended to be or not.

The courtiers went to the Longhua Hall to bow to the emperor and listen to the new emperor's holy order, and then there was the state funeral, and some were busy.

The people of Shangjing heard the loud bells. I didn't guess what was going on at the time. After a while, I heard the sound of uniform footsteps, and when I looked at it, my mother and the official began to clear the way, and the fierce face couldn't help but be excited, and suddenly realized the meaning of this bell, and hurriedly knelt down and put his hands in front of him, and nodded his forehead to show respect.

The courtiers knelt in the Longhua Hall according to the ancestral system, bowing three times and knocking nine times. Every knock must make a sound, otherwise it will be a great disrespect to the emperor. If discovered, it is possible to be beheaded on the spot.

The state funeral is handled by the Ministry of Rites, and there is no need for Mu Jinming to worry about it according to the system, and then it is to promulgate the will, and the funeral of the concubine is personally supervised by Li Desheng to ensure that there is no impostor who steals the beams and columns.

The ministers kneeling at the bottom broke out in a cold sweat, but the emperor would make this decision, most of the concubines who were filled into the harem were from the families of the ministers, and the young Qinghua was given to die like this, and the biological father had to admit it in pain.

Funeral in the ritual system is a kind of reward from the emperor to the concubine, and it is a great honor to be able to sleep with the emperor in the eyes of others, and it is another layer of meaning to put it on the family of the person concerned. After all, it is the blood of his own life, after entering the palace for many years, he died without even being able to conceive an imperial heir, what kind of mood is it for the family, no matter how uncomfortable and unbearable it is, what can be done, who let the lard be blinded at the beginning, and Yili will send the daughter who is like a flower into the palace, and the fame and fortune he thought of have not arrived, and in the end he took the life of his daughter, and lost his wife and soldiers.

No one dared to disobey the will of the emperor, let alone show half of his dissatisfaction, which was tantamount to resisting the will, and for the sake of his living relatives, he had to beat his teeth and swallow blood.

Mu Jinming opened his mouth again and said that as a son of man, he should keep filial piety for three years, but this sentence shocked the courtiers speechlessly.

There is nothing wrong with keeping filial piety, it should be kept, and it is generally stipulated that the emperor symbolically guards for three months or half a year, how can there be a real three years, this does not require human life! How do you know that during the national funeral, marriage and ceremonies are taboo, and all matters of fun must be banned. The emperor has been guarding for three years to nineteen years old, and the difference is one year to adulthood, and when it can be said that in the past, what should the courtiers underneath do? You can't be an ascetic for the emperor, and the courtiers have no scruples about pleasure, isn't that looking for death!

Generally, the emperor will choose to stay for three months, and the courtiers will follow the vegetarian diet for three months in a blink of an eye, without delay, three years, heh, it's really long enough. Joy comes second, the key is wedding, funeral, and what to do? The girl in the house and the family set the family to catch up with the national funeral, and the daylily will be cold for three years, how to make it, you can't quietly marry your own daughter, that's too cold, and the matter of marrying an official position is related to the two families to marry and colleagues to provide a moving relationship, and it is easy to do things in the future, these are all customary rules, how can you say that you can't do it.

Mu Jin knew that throwing out this matter would cause dissatisfaction among more than half of the courtiers, so in order to reduce unnecessary troubles and for the sake of true filial piety, he chose such a decision.

Three years is enough for himself to sit firmly in the country, the power in his hands, to buy more time for himself, to collect his own contacts, the most important thing to avoid in three years is that the ministers of the DPRK and China are admonished by name, forcing themselves to accept concubines, the excuse of keeping filial piety is very applicable, the ministers dare not stop it, filial piety is as big as the sky!

"The emperor's filial piety can be seen." Some ministers had no choice but to speak, "Is three years a little longer, there has never been a three-year filial piety in the ancestral system." "In order to be able to avoid eating bran in the next three years, and for the girl in the family to marry a good family, I fought hard, and I risked a lot of trouble to reduce the period of filial piety as much as possible.

The courtier who was poked in the center almost shed tears of gratitude, but fortunately, there was a bold one who spoke for the equally poor courtier, three years, don't you want human life!

Some people took the lead in fighting for everyone's slim hope, and many officials were moved to secretly cheer themselves up, and opened their mouths to persuade the emperor to retract his life, even if it was according to the ancestral system!

"This is my filial piety, and all Aiqing don't need to say much." How could Mu Jinming not know that the little Jiujiu in the courtier's heart obviously couldn't endure hardship, and wanted to steal and play tricks.

Avoid forcing too tightly Mu Jinming appropriately made a little concession, the courtiers can implement the etiquette system for half a year, three months is too little to teach the courtiers who play with their hearts a lesson, how can they have to endure hardships, it is best for someone to hold on to the taboo, and the sharpened knife in his hand has also reached the time to open the blade and drink blood.

Since the emperor said so, how can the courtiers kick their noses in the face, half a year is half a year, it is a hundred times stronger than three years, I don't believe that the emperor's small body is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and can really endure three years of vegetarianism, it is best to hold on so that they don't have to wronged themselves, and they can also use this to attack the emperor for being disrespectful to the emperor, and keeping filial piety is a fake and corrupt character, how can he be the supreme throne! At that time, the great prince will turn over and hopefully.

Immediately after Mu Jinming talked about the amnesty of the world, there were no profound words on the holy decree or on the list posted inside and outside Shangjing.

"It is not appropriate to have an amnesty for the death of my father." Mu Jinming discussed with Xi Chao how to deal with the matter.

The courtiers below listened to the fact that there was nothing wrong with privately considering this matter, and the great amnesty was a sentence of the emperor, not because of the regulations of each dynasty and each generation.

"Father Emperor Immortal goes to me to think left and right, it is inconvenient to amnesty small amnesty, this is the father and emperor accumulate yin virtue." Mu Jinming glanced at the courtier's expression, and then said, "Whoever is convicted and sentenced, the death row prisoner will still be beheaded on the same day, and others, such as petty thieves, will order him to write a deed, and if he is caught and beheaded again, the deed serves as a wake-up call, giving people a chance to reform themselves. ”

When the courtiers heard this, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and nodded and promised the emperor what he did.

"The premise is that none of these cases are wrongfully convicted." Mu Jinming said with a cold face, "This matter needs to be verified by a special person, and one person cannot be allowed to die in vain, and the other father and emperor will be unsafe in the heavens." ”

The courtiers repeatedly said yes, praising the emperor's wisdom, this matter is under the joint management of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and has nothing to do with other people, and it is just the emperor's will.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Dali Siqing glanced at each other, and they all saw a wry smile in the eyes of the other party, and the people below the emperor's words broke their legs, and it seemed that some of them were busy.

"Make sure the evidence is conclusive." Mu Jinming's emphasis is purposeful, and if he really wants to do it, it will be troublesome, "The place is equal, don't think that the Tiangao Emperor can't see or hear it from afar, and he deceives and hides people's lives, and once it is discovered, there is no need to investigate and immediately kill him." ”

The courtiers were shocked when they heard this, the emperor did not hesitate to stain the throne with blood, but also to deter the court, obediently so murderous, and subconsciously touched the cold sweat on his forehead.

The courtiers didn't even dare to say, what could they say at this time! (To be continued......)
