Regarding Kou Zhun's beggar bones, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces did not react at all.

There wasn't even a hint of surprise.

They all know that this is not that Kou Zhun is really going to resign.

It is a set of etiquette for the new monarch to ascend the throne.

As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier.

When the new monarch ascended the throne, the old minister naturally had to express himself.

This representation is the beggar bones.

Prove to Xinjun that he has no desire to covet power.

If the new monarch is tough, he can play it on the spot.

If the new monarch is not tough enough, or is very young like Zhao Zhen, he will naturally have to be retained.

Zhao Zhen had already been reminded by Chen Lin, so when Kou Zhun asked for the beggar bones, he hurriedly got up, ran down the imperial steps, and helped Kou Zhun up.

"Not allowed! I...... I also have to rely on Aiqing to govern the country. ”

"Edict!"

Zhao Zhen helped Kou Zhun up and said with a small face.

Guo Huai immediately took out a volume of edict and read it out.

The content of the edict is basically the same as what Zhao Heng promised Kou Zhun before, the only difference is that Zhao Zhen added another title of Jixian Pavilion scholar to Kou Zhun.

It's kind of icing on the cake.

It also proved to the courtiers that he valued talents.

Of course, Zhao Zhen himself doesn't understand this.

It was decided by Kou Zhun, Liu E and others after discussion.

According to the rules, Kou Zhun should have been knighted, but Kou Zhun himself resigned.

He said that he already had the right to be regent, and he was already an official residence, and if he entered the knighthood again, it would reach the point where he could not be sealed, which was not suitable.

When Guo Huai finished reading the edict, Kou Zhun bowed, "The old minister thanks the official family for their love." ”

Kou Zhun withdrew from the temple.

Subsequently, Xiang Minzhong, Li Di and a group of old ministers also came out to beg for bones.

Zhao Zhen lifted them up one by one, rejected their requests for beggar bones, and each sealed it.

Wait until the courtiers are crowned.

Zhao Zhen personally went down the imperial staircase, asked Kou Zhun to go up the imperial staircase, and sat on the second step of the third-order imperial staircase, the position on the left.

In this way, Kou Zhun can be regarded as really sitting on the power of regent.

Helped Kou Zhun up the imperial steps, and after Kou Zhun sat down, Zhao Zhen returned to the dragon chair, blinked his eyes, and said timidly: "I ...... Why didn't I see the edict that sealed Koji? ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he lowered his head and didn't want to speak.

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he complained silently in his heart.

Zhao Zhen, I know you are enough brothers, but this scene is obviously not the time to mention this......

Hearing this, Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji viciously.

Kou Ji spread out his hands, looking helpless.

Liu E's gaze wandered over Kou Ji for a moment, but she didn't speak.

The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu looked at Kou Ji with a strange expression.

Xiang Minzhong pretended to be confused and leaned back, and whispered to his son behind him, "See...... This is called Jane in the Emperor's Heart! ”

Xiang Chuanzheng nodded stunnedly.

"Ahem......"

Kou Zhun coughed and said dryly: "Official, Kou Ji is young, and he is already in the sixth grade. Further up, it is ranked as the fifth grade...... He did not have great merit to the imperial court and could not be awarded the five-rank official. ”

Zhao Zhen still spoke, Kou Zhun was afraid that he would say something unruly, so he hurriedly patted Kou's bus and said in a deep voice: "The first emperor died, the country has been mourned for three years, and the official family will keep the spirit of the first emperor for forty-nine days."

During this period, the Hugh dynasty. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed down in unison in response, "......"

"Now that the official family has ascended the throne, it should be reported to all provinces, states and counties."

"......"

"Retreat!"

“……”

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, after saluting Zhao Zhen, withdrew from the vertical arch hall.

Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair in a daze, watching the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu quietly leave.

After Liu E left the Manchu Dynasty, she said to Kou Zhun: "Kou Gong, during the mourning family's mother and son's wake, there will be Lao Kou Gong in the government." ”

The enthronement ceremony has ended, and Liu E's self-title has also changed.

From the main palace to the mourning family.

Kou Zhun arched his hand and said lightly: "It should be so." ”

Liu E instructed Chen Lin: "Help the official family change into mourning clothes, go to the Daqing Hall with the mourning family, and help the first emperor guard the spirit." ”

Zhao Zhen stood up from the dragon chair and was at the mercy of Chen Lin.

Seeing that Kou Ji was about to push Kou Zhun away, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Can you take Kou Ji with you?" ”

Liu E and Kou Zhun were both stunned.

Liu E was about to open her mouth to refuse.

I listened to Kou Zhun and said: "As a protégé of the Son of Heaven, Kou Ji should help the first emperor guard the spirit. ”

Kou Ji opened his mouth to excuse himself.

was glared at by Kou Zhun.

Kou Ji sighed secretly and arched his hand: "Obey the order......"

Liu E was very dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything.

Kou Zhun moved out of the identity of Kou Ji's protégé and asked him to help Zhao Heng keep the spirit, and Liu E couldn't refuse.

The ancients attached great importance to rules.

Half an apprentice is the rule.

Kou Ji is Zhao Heng's only student, equivalent to half of Zhao Heng's son.

He helped Zhao Heng to go to the vigil, and no one could find fault.

If you are not a child of the royal family, you will be holding a vigil for the emperor, which is definitely a beautiful difference.

It is not only a recognition of identity, but also a ladder for promotion in the future.

It can be said that Kou Ji helped Zhao Heng to keep the spirit, as long as there is no fault in the future, it is inevitable that he will enter the phase.

However, Kou Ji doesn't think it's a bad thing.

Instead, he felt it was a chore.

The ancients guarded the spirits, and the rules were so strict that they were outrageous.

He wore coarse linen clothes, ate coarse tea and light rice, and was all cold.

And he stayed in front of the coffin for forty-nine days, and he couldn't sleep well.

But Kou Zhun had already decided for him, and he couldn't refuse.

Liu E instructed Guo Huai to help Kou Ji find a set of mourning clothes to wear.

Then he took them to the Daqing Palace.

In the Daqing Palace.

The concubines of each palace knelt on the ground.

Kou Ji found Concubine Yang and Concubine Du that he had seen, and he didn't know the rest of the large group of concubines.

There are old ones, there are young ones, and there are little girls his age.

Liu E led Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen to the Daqing Palace, and at the gate of the hall, found a place and asked Kou Ji to kneel.

Kou Ji didn't say anything, and went to kneel at the door of the temple.

Liu E took Zhao Zhen and knelt down in front of Zhao Heng's coffin.

It didn't take long for Guo Huai to lead a woman about forty years old into the Daqing Palace.

Kou Ji looked at the woman and roughly guessed the woman's identity.

Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Li.

Li Shi entered the hall and saw Zhao Zhen, and his whole body was trembling.

But she didn't react excessively, but walked to Liu E's side in a proper manner and saluted Liu E.

"Mother's ......"

She used to be just a maid by Liu E's side.

If Zhao Heng hadn't come up with a way to borrow her womb to give birth to a child, she might not have had a chance to be favored by Zhao Heng, let alone have a chance to give birth to a son for Zhao Heng.

So in front of Liu E, she behaved very humblely.

She has been imprisoned for many years, crying, laughing, crazy, crazy, complaining, and scolding.

All the resentment in her chest has been smoothed out by time.

Now, she just wants to be by her son's side, even if she doesn't have any reputation, even if she is a maidservant, she is willing.

Liu E saw her, and her mind was very complicated.

Although she imprisoned the Li family, she never abused the Li family.

Except for the fact that the Li family has no freedom and can't see Zhao Zhen, the rest of the treatment is far more generous than the other concubines in the palace.

She wants Li Shi'an to live the rest of her life steadily and comfortably, and it is best not to appear in front of her again.

It can make people.

Zhou Huaizheng said a word before he died, telling Zhao Zhen's life experience.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were excited, and she had to invite the Li family out to appease the hundred officials.

Liu E got up slowly, reached out to take Li's hand, Li shivered all over, stood stiffly, and let Liu E hold her hand.

Liu E said indifferently: "Don't call the mourning family in the future...... The official family has ascended the throne and has canonized you as the imperial concubine, and in the future, you can call the mourning family a sister. ”

Li Shi trembled all over, and said with a look of horror: "That incident...... Someone said it went out? ”

Liu E clenched her fists slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Now it is known all over the city...... It won't be long before everyone in the world knows......"

Li Shi trembled and said, "Niangniang...... Slaves...... The slave really didn't say anything......"

Liu E frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your son is now an official family, how can you call yourself a slave and maid anymore?" Do you want people to look down on him? ”

Li Shi hurriedly shook his head, "No...... There is no ......"

Liu E said in a deep voice: "Remember your identity, you are now the imperial concubine!" Your son is an official! ”

With tears in the corners of his eyes, Li nodded stunned.

"Kneel down and guard the soul of the first emperor!"

Li hurriedly fell to his knees.

Liu E also knelt on the ground and said no more.

When Zhao Zhen came to Liu E's side from the Li family, he noticed her.

But he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but silently observed the Li family.

After Li knelt down, he hesitated and hesitated, and said in a low voice, "You...... Are you ...... You're my biological mother......"

Li was shocked, and tears welled up in his eyes.

She didn't know if she should say yes or not.

Countless midnight dreams, she dreamed of the reunion of their mother and son.

She dreamed that Zhao Zhen broke through the obstacles in the palace, rushed to her, and called her mother.

She also dreamed that Zhao Zhen led the troops to kill Liu E, carried the bloody blade, walked up to her, and told her, 'The child is here to pick you up'.

She had dreamed of countless scenes, but she had never dreamed of this scene.

For a moment she didn't know how to respond.

The more Zhao Zhen looked at her, the more she couldn't speak.

Zhao Zhen stared at her for a long time, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he said seriously: "I can feel it...... You are my biological mother...... But after all these years, why don't you come to see me?

Don't you like me? ”

"Woo......"

Li burst into tears.

She hurriedly waved her hand, "No...... Not me...... I didn't want to see you...... I dream day and night...... All I dreamed of was seeing you......"

To tell the truth, Liu E was beside her, and she couldn't tell Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen stared at her and said obediently: "If you don't want to see me, it's okay." I don't blame you...... Can you hug me? It's like Kou Ji hugging me? ”

Li was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Zhao Zhen took the initiative to get into her arms.

Li stiffened, then suddenly hugged Zhao Zhen and cried loudly.

Liu E and Concubine Yang are not good-looking.

They have raised Zhao Zhen for many years, and seeing that Zhao Zhen is close to the Li family, as if something important has been taken away, their hearts are empty.

Zhao Zhen hugged Li and cried too.

The mother and son cried for a long time, Zhao Zhen wept, raised his head, and asked, "Kou Ji said that you will be good to me, is it true?" ”

Hearing this, Li nodded heavily.

Zhao Zhen suddenly burst into tears and laughed, he stretched out his little hand, took the Li family and Concubine Yang, leaned into Liu E's arms, and said to Kou Ji at the gate of the hall: "Kou Ji, you are right. I really have three mothers, and they will all be good to me. ”

When Liu E and Concubine Yang heard this, they were shocked.

They originally thought that when Zhao Zhen found his biological mother, he would be alienated from them and even resentful of them.

Unexpectedly, in Zhao Zhen's heart, they are still his mother.

Liu E's mind suddenly sounded Kou Ji's words on the Vertical Arch Palace.

She now understood the meaning of that sentence a little.

There are some things that have been concealed for a long time and are resentment and hatred.

If you say it early, you won't have so much resentment.

There may even be unexpected surprises.

Liu E looked at Kou Ji at the entrance of the hall and beckoned, "Come here and kneel......

Kou Ji got up, walked to Zhao Heng's coffin and knelt down.

Liu E looked at Kou Ji and said lightly: "You said a good ......"

Kou Ji arched his hand at Zhao Heng's coffin, "The minister thinks, this is also what the first emperor wants to see......"

When Liu E and Concubine Yang heard this, they nodded together.

The warm scene of confession diluted the sadness of Zhao Heng's death

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen, whose face was full of tears, but his eyes were full of happiness, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Silly boy, you have to thank Zhou Huaizheng, and you have to thank me. If I hadn't encouraged Zhou Huaizheng to make a scene, maybe you wouldn't have seen your mother in your life......

Night.

Slowly descending.

The eunuchs and palace ladies brought a simple cold meal.

Kou Ji ate like chewing wax, but Zhao Zhen ate it very sweetly.

After a brief meal, the people knelt again in the temple.

After dark.

Zhao Zhen's imperial sister couldn't hold it anymore and dozed off frequently in the hall.

Liu E asked Concubine Du to take the little princess down to rest first.

Concubine Du agreed and took the little princess back.

After the little princess had been settled, she returned, and the group continued to kneel in the hall.

A stay up is a night.

About the time of the third watch.

Kou Ji was kneeling on the ground, hanging his head and dozing off with his eyes closed, when someone silently rubbed beside him and stuffed him with a note.

Kou Ji woke up suddenly, and when he turned around, he didn't see the person who stuffed him with the note.

Kou Ji glanced left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he flipped through the note.

After just one glance, the drowsiness in his body immediately disappeared.

The note reads, 'Tomorrow night, the third watch, Imperial Garden.' ’

Kou Ji immediately threw the note into the brazier in front of him, turning it to ashes.

"What's that?"

Zhao Zhen saw Kou Ji throwing something into the brazier, and asked in a puzzled whisper.

Kou Ji said dryly: "It's nothing ......"

Zhao Zhen nodded, and did not ask.

Li, who was kneeling beside Zhao Zhen, probably guessed something, she opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she didn't say it.
