Chapter 65: Investigation
In the palace, the order was redetermined, and some palace people were ordered to be killed by His Majesty the awakened King Qin for "dereliction of duty", and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lived in the Qing Palace and closed the door.
LΓΌ Buwei, the chief of the left house, was fined three hundred.
Meng Fu was reprimanded.
Everyone felt like it was over.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had the intention of colliding, but he was not punished, and the matter was only investigated to fines, reprimands, and killing some people.
But in the early morning of the third day of the first lunar month, the palace people were shocked to find that His Majesty the King of Qin had collapsed!
All of them looked incredulous.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so sad that he lost his mind, crying and laughing.
LΓΌ Buwei was overjoyed: King Qin is dead, so I don't have to pay the fine.
Zong Zheng showed a fake sad look on his face, and covered the coffin with a heavy sorrow and said, "King Qin, collapse." β
"Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to quickly clean up his sorrows and prepare for the throne of Qin."
The official coronation to the throne will definitely have to wait a year later.
But the country cannot be without a king for a day, after the collapse of the old king, the crown prince should ascend the throne and temporarily replace the throne of Qin.
Correspondingly, if nothing happens to the subrogated King of Qin, he will definitely become the official King of Qin a year later.
Therefore, when taking the throne of Qin, you need to choose a "crown prince" among your own heirs.
Yiren respectfully bowed to Zong Zheng: "Zichu, take the order." β
Zong Zheng avoided half of his body, only accepted half of the salute, and said, "Please Your Majesty quickly establish the crown prince!" β
Yiren bowed his head, and was about to speak, Xiong Qi and Xiong Chen asked to see him outside the sect hall, Xiong Qi held a silk book with a black body and embroidered gold thread: "Meet His Majesty King Qin." β
"Meet Zongzheng."
Lao Zongzheng looked at the silk book in Xiong Qi's hand, took half a step back, and was silent.
It was the silk book of King Qin Yingzhu.
The original smiling face of the stranger collapsed when he saw this silk book.
Xiong Qi paid a big salute to the stranger: "Your Majesty, the king's last order is here, please read it for Your Majesty." β
He took the silk book with both hands.
Inhuman didn't go to pick up the silk book.
He knew what was in the silk book, and it was something he had heard once yesterday.
The corners of his eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth.
Yiren took a deep breath, and finally took the silk book, without unfolding: "The widow is on the throne, and the prince should be the prince's government." β
Xiong Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Xiong Chen on the side, both with a clear attitude.
Sure enough, knowing the son is more than the father.
Winning Zhu was decided, with his alien temperament, he did not dare to bear the notoriety of disobeying the orders of the previous king.
Although, this notoriety is nothing to the dignified King of Qin.
But he still didn't dare to disobey.
Yiren calmed down for a while, and said: "The state affairs are in full swing, and the widow bears great responsibilities, so he has no time to fulfill his filial piety for the first king, so that the prince will be filial piety in front of the spirit of the first king." β
"Period, March!"
"The king mourns." Zong Zheng smiled, finished the ceremony, put the crown of King Qin on the top of Yiren's head, tied a hosta for him, and stepped aside.
Yiren stretched out his arms, and the palace people immediately stepped forward to change their clothes.
A moment later, a brand new "King of Qin" was freshly baked.
The crown prince led the king's order to the East Palace.
At the same time, there are others who seal it.
Yiren's biological mother, Mrs. Xia, was honored as the queen mother, and Mrs. Huayang, the queen of the previous king, was also honored as the queen mother.
Some officials of the Chu and former kings were dismissed or deposed.
This was followed by a series of seals, pardons, and accountability.
The name of the former king needs to be discussed by the courtiers at the great court meeting.
- But there is nothing to negotiate.
The official reign of the first king was only less than three days. Although there is a credit for "pulling out the poison in the country", everyone knows how this credit came about.
In addition, there was no rigorous review and investigation before the administration, and the government decree and supporting measures were not perfected, and the royal decree was just issued, which caused a lot of problems.
Therefore, strictly speaking, whether the first king was a merit or a fault is a question.
But these things are not within the scope of Qin Wang Yiren's thinking.
It was his duty as a son of man to seek the best possible name for his father.
After all, if he gave his father a bad insult during his reign, how would others think of the stranger in the future?
Inhumans don't dare to think about it, and they don't want to bear this infamy.
So he can only exert his influence and earn a name for his father.
To do this, he killed several officials who refused to change their minds.
While he was seeking praise for his father, Yingzheng was watched and came to Yingzhu's mourning hall to guard his soul.
The dignified monarch, after all, after death, must also consider the prestige, so the winning pillar is placed in the coffin wearing the crown of the king of Qin, and the coffin is not covered, and it can only be covered when it is buried.
Ying Zheng knelt alone in front of the coffin of the winning pillar.
In the ritual system, the king of Qin, as a prince, can only have two layers of coffins.
But now that the etiquette is broken, everyone is pursuing luxury, and even the coffin is no longer made in strict accordance with the identity.
The coffin of King Qin Yingzhu is as many as four layers.
And now, on the first day of King Qin's death, generally speaking, there is only the innermost layer of coffins.
That is, the leather coffin - that is, the coffin made of leather.
This coffin is not big, as long as Yingzheng stands a little higher, he can see the Qin King Yingzhu who has been dead for a long time in the coffin.
His face was a little pale from the loss of blood, and his wrinkles seemed to be much lighter than before his death.
Ying Zheng looked at the winning pillar and didn't feel anything.
After watching it for a while, Ying Zheng felt bored.
Look left and right, and the temple is empty except for yourself.
"Huh."
No matter how powerful you were during your lifetime, won't you be forgotten immediately after you die?
Ying Zheng pouted.
β¦β¦
Ju Zizhou changed out of his clothes, dressed in plain clothes, and walked around Xianyang City.
Before leaving, he has to complete a social survey to formulate the right solution for Yingzheng.
β¦β¦
On the 4th of October, the palace people added a layer of basswood to the coffin for the former king, and then left.
Ying Zheng was bored and sat in the hall reading.
When I was tired of sitting and stood up and stretched, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a piercing red.
Ying Zheng turned his head and saw the winning pillar in the coffin, and his mouth and nose began to overflow dark red blood.
Ying Zheng opened his mouth.
β¦β¦
"Hey, little brother, come on, I'll show you something good!" Next to the dilapidated street, an Angzang shouted sneakily and beckoned to Ju Zizhou.
While beckoning, he looked left and right, looking like a frightened bird.
Ju Zizhou's heart moved, pursed his lips, and followed.
"What's the good stuff to see?" Ju Zizhou asked.
"Shhhh Dahan said, grabbed Ju Zizhou's shoulders, and hooked his shoulders on his back: "Do you want to taste "that"?" β
"Which one?" Ju Zizhou asked.
That's it! Dahan made a gesture of drinking.
Ju Zizhou pursed his lips: "What kind of wine?" β
"Hey?" The big man was a little anxious, and looked left and right, showing a posture of stealing chickens and dogs: "Don't say it, is this something that can be said here?" β
Ju Zizhou nodded.
Wine, in the Qin State, was forbidden for the common people to drink.
But if it is an extraordinary person, the more extraordinary it is, the less legally bound it is in this regard.
Therefore, Qin Fa is still quite harsh on the people at the bottom. β
Ju Zizhou smiled: "If it's good wine, I can buy some, but you have to answer me a few questions." β
"What's the problem?" Dahan was a little wary.
"A few minor problems." Ju Zizhou smiled: "I'll ask again after drinking." β
If you drink alcohol, you are breaking the law and you are trustworthy.
Dahan's face was slightly pale.
β¦β¦
On October 5, Yingzheng sat far away from the triple coffin of King Yingzhu of Qin, and did not dare to approach.
In the court, the name of the former king has been decided.
"Hyowen"
β¦β¦
"So, we can go straight to the brewery tonight?" Ju Zizhou asked.
"It's not that simple, you have to go through a review!" Dahan Xianle counted the money: "Brother Zhou, we have to be punished for breaking the law in this work, of course, we must be stricter." β
"Brother Xian, how much money can you make selling a pound of millet wine?" Ju Zizhou asked while eating bacon.
"I can't make a lot of money." Xian waved his hand: "But don't we have no way?" After two years of work, I only earned 1,900 yuan, but I thought about it, and when I earned 3,000 yuan, I went to buy a "qualification" from the winery, bought wine at a low price, and then sold it by mediocre people, and I hid myself like Mo Hejun and them, and no longer made this kind of hard-earned money! . β
There was a strong sense of ostentation in his tone.
Ju Zizhou nodded: "Then you are quite profitable." β
