Chapter 258: Reputation Damaged
The case of the Queen Mother has been investigated, although Zhenzhen's absconding was tragically reconciled, but the Queen Mother died of illness, not murdered, and it has nothing to do with her.
Now that the news of the death of the Queen Mother has come out, it is the top priority to bury as soon as possible, Pei Yuan led people to stand outside the Jiuluan Palace, but he did not go in for a long time, but looked at the plaque of the Jiuluan Palace on the palace gate for a long time.
The three words of Jiuluan Palace were written by the Emperor Taishang himself, and all the furnishings in the palace were built in accordance with the requirements of the Emperor Taishang, and this was not originally intended to be given to the Queen Mother's palace.
Pei Yuan didn't want to deal with a dead man, but the anger in his heart was always uneasy, he looked at the three words of Jiuluan Palace for a long time, and finally sighed, and instructed the chief manager who had been following behind: "Choose another place for the Queen Mother in the Imperial Mausoleum, and you don't have to be buried with the first emperor." β
The chief manager sighed, thinking that he had heard it wrong, Pei Yuan glanced back at him: "Is your decision to me meaningful." β
"The old slave doesn't dare," the chief manager was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The old slave is called to notify the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites to make preparations, and then ask Qin Tianjian to pick a date and arrange the funeral." β
Pei Yuan nodded and began to walk back: "This matter should be fast, it has been delayed for so long, don't delay it any longer." β
The body of the Queen Mother has been put into the coffin, and the imperial doctors have also used herbs to prevent the corpse from decomposing, and the whole room is full of ice basins, but it still can't be put down for a long time, and the chief manager hurriedly responded.
However, Pei Yuan's decision was opposed by several old ministers in the court, who learned the news from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites in the early days of the court, and immediately gave up reporting other matters and made a big comment to the emperor on this matter.
"The Emperor and the Queen Mother were originally married couples, and they naturally had to be buried together after death, and the emperor did this time, not only to disrespect the Queen Mother, but also to the Emperor Taishang."
"The minister seconded the proposal, the royal family is an example for all the people, and if the emperor does this, wouldn't it let all the people in the world learn from him, and the ethics of the general code will not be messed up in the future."
"The ministers seconded the proposal, the Pei dynasty has always governed the world with benevolence and filial piety, so wouldn't the emperor want to make the people feel that the emperor of my dynasty is not filial to the queen mother, and how can I ask the people to take the lead in benevolence and filial piety."
Pei Yuan glanced at Pei Shu silently, fortunately he didn't open his mouth from beginning to end, if he also opened his mouth to accuse him, Pei Yuan was afraid that he would not be able to help but expose the things of the year.
The reason why the Queen Mother became the Queen Mother is because she is the wife of the Emperor Taishang? Obviously, no one is going to pay attention to this issue, but Pei Yuan doesn't want to argue with the ministers below about this matter.
Even if the position of the queen mother is stable, he is still unwilling to let the queen mother, who framed many concubines and ignored the emperor's last wishes, be buried with him, Pei Yuan feels that even if the emperor comes alive to make a choice, he will agree to do so.
As long as Pei Shu is meaningless, he can keep silent about the dirty things that the Queen Mother sat down again, Pei Shu is the person he chose to inherit the throne in the future, Pei Yuan can't let his body be stained with any stains, even if his biological mother brought it to him.
"I have made up my mind, and as for what the outside world thinks of my approach, and how unreasonable you think it is, my decision will not be changed." Pei Yuan looked at the ministers and shouted, "If the ministers have nothing else to do, then retreat from the court!" β
"The emperor thinks twice!" Several old ministers knelt down one after another, weeping bitterly and persuading, "You are really violating the law of etiquette by doing this!" β
Pei Yuan raised his feet and left, only signaling the chief manager to announce his retreat from the dynasty in the back, and the advice of those old ministers was left behind by him, as for the outside world's judgment of himself, those are not important.
Pei Hao chased him all the way to the imperial study after retreating from the court, and he asked unhappily: "Why don't you tell the reason, as long as you say it, those old ministers will definitely not ...... the emperor."
Pei Yuan waved his hand at him: "If I say it all, how will you let Pei Shu behave in the court in the future?" What's more, you forgot that he is the heir we picked out, if people know what the Queen Mother did, not to mention that the officials will not obey him, even the common people will not obey him. β
Pei Hao was speechless, he didn't think about these when he was looking for Chaoshang, and now he heard Pei Yuan say, even if he felt wronged for Pei Yuan, after thinking about it, he still felt that this was the best result: "You are not afraid of being recorded in the epic." β
"People live in the moment is the most important," Pei Yuan smiled, "As for the future, I won't think about it, I don't care about the things left for future generations to comment, you have to promise me, but don't leak your mouth." β
Pei Hao nodded, and said with a bitter face: "Okay, the emperor has done his part, I naturally won't pull your hind legs." β
Pei Yuan smiled with satisfaction, and when he saw that it was almost lunchtime, he asked, "Do you want to stay and have a drink with me, I have rarely had a little free in the past two days." β
"No, I have to go back to accompany the two little ancestors at home." Pei Hao arched his hand helplessly, "The younger brother will leave first, and come back another day to ask the emperor for a glass of wine." β
Pei Yuan had no drinking friends, so he had to obediently go back to Shen Jiahe's palace to have lunch with her, and after seeing the palace people in the imperial dining room send the food to the dining room, he hurriedly asked, "Who asked you to send it here?" β
One of the palace people bowed down and replied: "The queen mother has ordered, there is no need to send it to the inner hall in the future, and the slaves and maids will serve the meal here." β
Pei Yuan hurriedly instructed them to put it away: "Before the queen came out of the confinement, everything was as usual, and these were being sent to the inner hall." β
Pei Yuan went to the inner hall first, and when he saw Shen Jiahe changing into his regular clothes, he hurriedly walked over and helped her sit down: "Can you already go?" β
"There was no discomfort, so the imperial doctor asked me to get out of bed and walk, which is also good for my body's recovery." Shen Jiahe explained, when he saw the imperial dining room coming in to deliver the dishes, he asked again, "Hey, why did this meal come back again, didn't you say that I ate in the dining room?" β
Pei Yuan helped her sit down at the small dining table in the inner hall: "If you can go, you can't walk around, you just obediently take a stroll in the inner hall, and when the confinement is over, I will accompany you out for a walk." β
Shen Jiahe said helplessly: "I will be suffocated to death." β
Pei Yuan gave her vegetables and coaxed her to eat first: "If you are bored, let them send the child here, if not, let Bai Ying go outside to find some scripts for you, there are still twenty days left or right, just endure it." β
The days passed in Shen Jiahe's boredom, and even though the Queen Mother had been buried, the afterglow of this incident had not yet dissipated.
The prestige erected before ascending the throne made this matter drag down, Pei Hao didn't want Pei Yuan to bother in this matter, but he also felt that he was really wronged, and he secretly suppressed these things by himself.
Pei Hao, who was counting the days, was secretly happy, fortunately he didn't let these things affect Pei Yuan's mood, otherwise the two children's full moon wine would be unhappy.
The day before the full moon wine, Shen Jiahe made an exception out of the inner hall, she didn't waste exercising for a day after she crossed over, her body was well recuperated by herself, and this time she recovered quickly, and the imperial doctor also checked her, saying that there was no problem.
I was in a happy mood for a while, and after asking the imperial doctor, Shen Jiahe took Bai Ying to the back garden for a turn, and was able to breathe the fresh air outside, not to mention how comfortable Shen Jiahe felt in his heart.
Bai Ying didn't dare to let her stay outside for too long, and after a while, she persuaded her to go back quickly, Shen Jiahe was really tired of lying on the bed, so he asked Bai Ying to accompany him in the hall.
Before lunch, Bai Ying took advantage of Shen Jiahe's rest, went back to her room and took two tiger head hats and gave them to Shen Jiahe: "The slave maid has nothing else to send, just this embroidery was taught by Sister Bai Wei at the beginning, and it can be regarded as a good hand, I hope the queen will not dislike it." β
Shen Jiahe looked at the two tiger head hats in his hand and looked up at Bai Ying: "Stayed up late to do it?" For a few days, she saw that Bai Ying's spirit was very weak, and once she thought that Bai Ying could not be a Gu poison, but later she saw that she was in better spirits, so she was relieved.
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up with the full moon ceremony of the little masters, so it took some effort." Bai Ying said embarrassedly.
"It's hard for you, and it's taking care of me, and you have to put your heart and soul into doing this." Shen Jiahe asked someone to call the nurse, handed her the tiger head hat, and asked her to take it back to the little master's room to put it away, before turning his head to look at Bai Yingdao again, "In the future, when they grow up, this palace will definitely let them thank you well." β
Pei Yuan also announced to the officials on this day that he would give them a day off tomorrow, and when he learned that it was the two little masters who held the full moon wine, everyone naturally celebrated again.
After the next dynasty, Pei Yuan named Pei Shu to stay: "King Kang will go to the imperial study with me, I have something to ask you." β
He once discussed with Pei Hao that when Shen Jiahe finished his confinement, he would prepare for the Zen position, but now that the time has come, he still needs to do the last step of Pei Shu's investigation.
Pei Yuan showed Pei Shu some of the folds he had picked out recently, "These are the excerpts sent by the ministers recently, I have a headache to see, you can help me take a good look and see if there are any good ideas." β
Pei Shu looked at it seriously, and the answer to the twist and turn was completely in line with Pei Yuan's thoughts, although there were one or two points that were still a little immature, but after all, he was not in his position, and some things naturally would not be considered so deeply.
Pei Yuan nodded with satisfaction, and then handed him the list of disarmament: "The previous proposal on disarmament, you put forward it very well, I will leave this matter to you, if it is done well, even if there is another war in the future, these people can still be used by you." β
Pei Shu only felt that Pei Yuan's words were strange, he was not a general, where was the time when he was useful for soldiers, but he didn't ask, and directly responded to the matter.
The matter was not in a hurry, Pei Shu went back to King Kang's Mansion first, and invited Gonggong Lu to ask, "Are the full moon gifts to be sent to the palace tomorrow ready?" β
"It was prepared early in the morning, all prepared according to the gift list written by the prince, and the old slave also specially found a red box to pack, and it will be a happy tomorrow." Gonggong Lu bowed and replied.
Pei Shu nodded, and then he was a little uneasy, and instructed Gonggong Lu to take the gift list and go to the warehouse with him to check again.
After the incident, Father-in-law Lu was going to instruct the kitchen to prepare lunch, but when he saw Pei Shu changing into his regular clothes to go out, he hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, is this going to eat outside?" β
Pei Shu didn't know whether the barracks were in charge of the food, so he said: "I'll go to the barracks, and let the kitchen prepare the food first." β
Shi Xiangjie had already received the order, saying that he was going to carry out disarmament in the next two days, but he didn't expect that the person who came would be Pei Shu, and he was very surprised at the moment: "King Kang is here to do disarmament?" β
Pei Shu arched his hand: "The emperor specially handed over this matter to the king's chargΓ© d'affaires, and asked General Shi for more guidance." β
Shi Xiangjie smiled, this kid has really changed a lot in the past two years, once when he was still the emperor, he had never been so polite to others.
"Okay, I'll take you to the barracks to see those soldiers first!" Shi Xiangjie patted Pei Shu on the shoulder, which could be regarded as a recognition of him, "Over there is the training camp, where are the soldiers who are going to be disarmed by me today, you can take a look." β
