At this time, the important ministers and concubines of the court outside the door gathered, and the door of the palace was closed for a long time without movement, and the crowd began to become uneasy.

"Something can't be wrong, right?"

"yes, it's been so long."

Some people even shouted at the door: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

"Li Liancheng, open the door, I want to go in the palace to have a look." Queen Yuebiluo finally couldn't sit still, Hedi got up from her chair and went straight to the palace door.

The closed six-sided hanging flower door suddenly opened at this moment, and a figure staggered out, and an extremely painful voice sounded in the hall: "The emperor has died." ”

The crowd fell silent suddenly, but in an instant, they surged inside, accompanied by one after another shouts: "Emperor, Emperor, ......" Dou Lianyi stood in place, squeezed by the crowd of people, squeezed over, and watched this scene almost numbly.

"Your Majesty, have you really gone?" People still couldn't believe the news and cried over and over again.

I saw the emperor leaning back on the chair, if he ignored his closed eyes, the man was still majestic, as if he was in the court before, and he would take a nap when he was occasionally tired.

People suddenly knelt down around, and the imperial physicians hurried in, and after being diagnosed by several of the most authoritative imperial physicians, including the imperial court judgment and the emperor's imperial imperial physician, they unanimously determined that the emperor had indeed died.

"Your Majesty."

Hearing the bad news, the concubines who were still holding a glimmer of hope just now couldn't help crying bitterly.

"Your Majesty, damn it's a minion, why did you leave first." Li Liancheng, who was serving on the side, was no less grief and reluctance than the concubines, and he was grief-stricken at the feet of his master.

But it was his most beloved woman, the concubine Dou Ripple, who knelt silently in the crowd and never made a sound.

"Does the emperor have a last word or an edict?" The scene of talking with Jun is still in front of him, and the Si people have gone, and Yue Jingfeng also feels incredible, however, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the most important thing now is to stabilize the country.

The ministers also woke up from their grief, and this issue involves the future of the country, and it is not a trivial matter.

"The emperor has made an edict in advance, and the servants will go to get it." Li Liancheng was reminded by the people, and finally contained his sadness, and hurriedly got up to fetch it and read it out in public: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I ascended the throne at the age of ten, and it has been 19 years since I asked myself to be diligent in government and love the people. ”

Thinking of this, Li Liancheng couldn't cry for a long time, and there was also crying below.

"Winter goes to spring, spit out the old and embrace the new, the principle of all things, although I am the ninety-five supreme, but also in this heavenly way, I know that time is short, however, the country cannot be without a king for a day; The eldest son of the emperor is also the only prince of Ze, who is intelligent, benevolent and filial, and deeply bows, will be able to inherit the unification, protect the people, expand the territory, protect the country and the mountains forever, and pass on the throne with it, and admire this! ”

Hearing this, the ministers shouted: "The emperor is sage, we must do our best to assist the young master and rejuvenate my Xuanyue." ”

"Ze'er, come, come to the queen mother." Yuebi fell into tears and beckoned to Xuan Chengze, who knelt down to her, mother and son cried bitterly together, I don't know how many tears were provoked by this scene.

"The emperor remembered that the new monarch was young, and set up another edict, asking the ladies of the palace and the lords to pass it on." Li Liancheng took out another edict from the brocade box and presented it to the queen with both hands to read first.

Yue Biluo wiped away the tears gushing out, and also took it with both hands, and opened it to see, it turned out that Xuan Lili designated the new emperor to be raised by her and Concubine Li in her will, and drew up a list of six ministers who took care of their lives, namely Guangling Wang Yue Jingfeng, Prime Minister Du, Left Middle Book Ling Yang, Right Middle Book Ling Xia, Yu Shihai, and Military Minister General Li.

After reading it, she motioned to the palace people to present the edict to the first minister, Yue Jingfeng, and couldn't help but rejoice in her heart, there were at least four people on this list who belonged to her side.

Cousin Yue Jingfeng needless to say, in addition, Du, Yang, and Hai have already spoken out with him, Lord Xia is Xia Ruotong's father, and he has always been neutral, even if he dares to stand on the side of Dou Slut, he is not worried, as long as he finds out his daughter's ugly things, he can suppress it, but General Li, the Minister of Military Aircraft, must be well wooed, after all, the military power should not be underestimated.

After such a while, after the edict was circulated, several ministers who took care of their lives swore allegiance to the new emperor in front of the emperor's body and lived up to the trust of the emperor.

The body of the former emperor was then moved to the Baocheng Hall for burial, and the queen and the ministers decided to hold a state funeral with the most solemn ceremony, and then buried in the imperial tomb after 7749 days.

That night, the harem concubines were all dressed in white and filial piety, kneeling in front of the spirit and crying, while the officials were crying outside the hall.

A palace man hurriedly entered, and whispered in front of the palace maid headed by the palace: "The Moon King has something to discuss with several ministers who care for their lives, and ask the queen mother, Concubine Li, and the prince to move to the Yixin Palace." ”

Yue Biluo and Dou Lianyi glanced at each other, they were all surprised, at this time, there must have been a big incident, and they hurriedly rushed to the Yixin Hall with Xuan Chengze.

"The ministers and others will see the queen's mother, the concubine's mother, His Royal Highness the Prince."

The six ministers were already waiting in the palace, and when they saw three people coming in, they all saluted and greeted each other.

When they sat down separately, Yue Biluo asked urgently: "What happened to invite the three people from the palace from the emperor's spirit?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, according to reliable sources, King Shou has led hundreds of thousands of elites to attack the capital, and it is said that he is coming for funeral." Moon Surprise Maple replied.

Yue Biluo lost her voice and said: "Since it is a funeral, why do you need to bring so many soldiers and horses, isn't this a clear sign of seizing the throne?" "King Shou was ready to move before, but fortunately, the emperor returned to the dynasty in time, and the floods in the south were managed, so that he kept his troops still, and he didn't want the emperor's bones to be cold, so he couldn't hold it.

"Niangniang guessed that it was, and the ministers were worried about this, so they asked the two palace mothers and the prince to discuss countermeasures." Prime Minister Du said.

General Lee, Minister of Military Aircraft, was impassioned: "What to discuss?" According to the old minister, everyone can be punished for the rebellious ministers and thieves, as long as the prince gives an order, the old minister is willing to lead troops to block the enemy thousands of miles away. ”

"The problem is that after the original Chen State, Zhao State, and the old department of North Vietnam got the news of the emperor's death, there was already a tendency to raise troops and make it difficult, and the current strong enemy in Xiliang may not be suitable for infighting at this time."

Yue Jingfeng said the worry in his heart, and Dou Lianyi, who had not spoken up, immediately paused: "What the Moon King said is extremely true, the only way to do it now is to persuade King Shou to withdraw from the army." ”

"Dissuasion? Easier said than done. Now that the emperor has died, leaving us orphans and widows, it is difficult to ensure that others do not move their minds, at this time I want King Shou to retreat, do you think it is possible? ”

Yue Biluo stretched out her hand to wrap her hand over Xuan Chengze, and couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.

"This king is willing to give it a try."

There were three people in the hall, one was his cousin, and the other was two people who had sworn in front of the emperor to keep him safe.

"The Moon King is the chief minister of the emperor's personal order, and nothing in the court can leave the Moon King, and the matter of persuading the Shou King to retire will be borne by the palace."

As soon as the words came out, there was an uproar.

"No, it's dangerous to go, but this king won't let Concubine Li get into danger." Moon Storm was the first to object.

"The old minister also feels that it is inappropriate, Concubine Li is a woman, so you don't have to come forward to retreat from the enemy." Prime Minister Du snorted shallowly and disagreed.

The opinions of the others are similar.

"May I ask from this palace, how many adults can be sure to persuade King Shou to withdraw from the army?" Dou Lianyi's eyes flashed in front of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that year, and the scene of King Shou's blood splashing and losing his arm on the spot.

A few adults, you look at me, I look at you, and finally agreed: "The Moon King and the Shou King still have some friendship, maybe, or, how sure?" ”

"Exactly, this king is willing to give it a try." Yue Jingfeng readily agreed.

Dou Lianyi didn't laugh angrily: "How can you try a major national event?" If you can't try, the consequences will be serious, have you ever thought about it? This matter is so decided, and you don't have to waste your lips and tongues on this. ”

Several adults still had to argue with reason, and Yue Biluo preemptively said: "Since Concubine Li is full of confidence, why not let her give it a try!" Okay, this matter will be done according to what Concubine Li said, and everyone doesn't have to fight anymore. ”

"The Queen's Mother......"

Yue Jingfeng was about to refute with reason, but was interrupted by Dou Lianyi with a little displeasure: "Moon King, don't you listen to the words of the queen mother and the palace?" Or in your eyes, you don't take us seriously at all? ”

This is too serious, and a layer of fine sweat broke out on Yue Jingfeng's forehead: "Weichen doesn't dare, it's just that Niangniang's safety can't be missed, and I ask Niangniang to think twice." ”

"Moon King, this palace has already said it, there is no need to fight anymore, let's discuss the next topic."

Yue Biluo waved her hand angrily and directly made an order.

Du, Yang, and Hai followed closely behind, "Since the mother spoke, the ministers seconded the proposal." Prime Minister Du continued: "The old minister has a suggestion, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

"Say."

Yue Biluo kept holding Xuan Chengze and didn't let go, and when she heard the words, she only spit out one word.

"According to the ancestral system, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony can be held only after the emperor's funeral a month later, and now the situation is critical, the old minister thinks that it is better to carry out the enthronement ceremony in advance, so as to break the covetousness of some chaotic ministers and thieves, I don't know what the two mothers and the prince will do?"

Lord Du immediately threw out the thoughts in his heart and waited for the show.

This is not a bad way, the two palace niangniang and the six ministers who take care of their lives, can be called the most powerful people in the Xuanyue Dynasty today, after some in-depth discussion, I feel that this method is feasible.

He immediately came to the minister of Qin Tianjian to check the auspicious day of the zodiac, and finally decided to set the enthronement ceremony three days later.

Three days later, the Xuanyue Dynasty held a grand ceremony for the enthronement of the new emperor and changed the name of the country to Wansheng.

Wansheng Emperor Xuan Chengze named his mother Empress Yue as the Queen Mother, and his biological mother Dou Lianyi as the Empress Dowager of Sheng'an.

After the ceremony, Dou Lianyi secretly left Beijing and started the journey of persuading King Shou to withdraw from the army.
