Huan Lin doesn't care about any "good days", in her opinion, eating and drinking is the best day.

Shen Yuli became the emperor, and the biggest benefit for her should be that the matter of the great beauty finally has an eyebrow, and she finally has hope that she doesn't have to see ghosts every night anymore.

God knows, that big beauty who is getting more and more fierce, and the group of hanged ghosts who are getting uglier and uglier, are about to drive her crazy for a while!

After letting go of his heart, Huan Lin finally had the spirit, and hurriedly instructed Mu Tou to quietly go to the imperial dining room to ask for some delicious food, intending to comfort and comfort his stomach that had been wronged for days.

Unexpectedly, before the meal came, three little eunuchs who didn't know each other came first. The three of them pulled out of their posture and stood at the door, clearly saying that the words "the one who came is not good".

"Miss Huanlin, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Taihe Palace." The eunuch at the head said with an expressionless face.

Huan Lin jumped up in fright and stammered: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty? Tell me to go to the Taihe Temple? Do? Do you want me to be buried with you? ”

The three eunuchs were stunned for a moment, exchanged glances with each other several times, and finally the one who led them said again: "The minions don't know about other things." If you want to come to Your Majesty for the first time, the height is unbearable, and you must be willing to be accompanied by an old person. ”

When Huan Lin heard the words "the first palm", he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had an epiphany.

Oh, it turns out that this "Majesty" is Shen Yuli, not the old man who died.

Then it wasn't like calling her to go to the funeral.

It's really scary, she thought that there was another master in the palace who could understand ghosts and gods.

Still, that's not right! The news that Shen Yuli came from before was very clear: unless he came in person, no matter who came, she wouldn't believe it!

It is impossible for him to forget what he just said, so most of the three eunuchs who came this time have a problem!

Huan Lin was so vigilant that the cold hairs around his body exploded, and he stared at the three of them with round eyes: "The three of you want to fool me with nice words!" I tell you, I won't go to the Taihe Palace! Even if Shen Yuli comes to call me in person, I won't go! I have no constitution and I still have to see two ghosts, the Taihe Hall is a mourning hall, why is he planning to invite me over to chat with the first emperor? ”

The eunuch at the head frowned, and asked hesitantly, "You say...... Have you ever seen a ghost? ”

Jumping up around the forest: "Who are you?" Aren't you Shen Yuli's henchmen? I can see ghosts, many people know about it, why don't you know that you are Shen Yuli's henchmen? You guys...... You were sent by someone else to deceive me, right? ”

The three of them exchanged glances again, and the man on the left spoke: "Miss Huanlin, it is true that a few of us were not on an errand by His Majesty's side before. It's just that the Taihe Hall is busy today, and we were temporarily sent to run errands. But don't worry, we must be the same as the stewards and fathers-in-law in front of the emperor, we can keep our mouths shut and get things done, and we won't make mistakes! As for what His Majesty called you for, you can ask Your Majesty in person! ”

"I'm not going!" Huan Lin kicked his shoes and sat on the bed again, "He is now an emperor and has great ability, whoever he asks to go has to go?" I don't want to, can he beat me?! ”

She had made up her mind to play tricks to the end. It is also common for her to play with her temper, and if those eunuchs were really sent by Shen Yuli, they would naturally be accommodating.

But they are not.

Seeing that Huanlin insisted on refusing to go, the eunuch headed by him sank his face: "Miss Huanlin, forgive the slave for reminding me more: The reason why the emperor is the emperor is because of life and death, and he is the same." At this moment, His Majesty has sent a message to invite you over, if you refuse to shirk, it will be disrespectful! ”

"If I don't respect me, I won't be respectful, can he still cure my crimes?" Huan Lin asked rhetorically.

The eunuch lowered his head and sneered: "Hmph, that's nature, Tianwei can't be offended!" ”

With these words, it was already very certain that the three of them were definitely not sent by Shen Yuli.

Shen Yuli knew very well in his heart that Huanlin was not afraid of punishment. No matter what crime she was for, unless she was killed on the spot, it would be easy for her to escape.

At this moment, Huanlin was very angry.

Shen Yuli is already the emperor, how can anyone still give her a moth? Can you stop a little bit this day?

Now that the matter has found her head, she is not the timid and afraid of things. She also wanted to know, who was going to make a fuss about her at such a juncture and block Shen Yuli?

Chaise? The Great Prince? Or the old ministers in the court who want to cover the sky with one hand?

The wood did not come back for a long time, and in front of the three tall eunuchs, Huanlin had no power to resist. She was soon "helped" by the three eunuchs to get out of bed and go straight to the Taihe Palace.

really went to the Taihe Temple, and didn't turn around halfway to kill her in any strange place.

Huan Lin was a little surprised, and even suspected that he had guessed wrong.

Could it be that Shen Yuli had something to do and sent someone to pick her up?

Naturally, when she arrived at the Taihe Palace, she knew that it was not.

When Shen Yuli saw her, his face sank, and he shook his head almost invisibly, and glanced at the team of the old ministers over there.

Huan Lin understood in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, an official from the Ministry of Rites opened his mouth, and his tone was very kind: "Miss Huanlin can also be regarded as having served by the side of the first emperor, and now that the first emperor is in a big business, it is impossible for the girl not to come to accompany the spirit." ”

Huan Lin knew in his heart that these old guys were a pit for a word, and it was best not to answer a stupid person like her.

So she didn't say anything, she just took the three sticks of incense handed over by the little eunuch, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Shen Yuli and shook his head at her again.

Huan Lin knew it in his heart, and casually inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner, turned around and frowned: "I don't understand what this adult said!" I have always been a temple ...... When did the people around His Majesty come to serve the emperor? ”

The official immediately sank his face when he was blocked, and said sharply: "Two days ago, the first emperor appointed you to come to the palace to serve the decoction, do you want to deny it?" ”

"I didn't!" Wrapping around the forest, he crossed his waist and was confident: "I have always been clumsy, and the first emperor didn't know!" The first emperor is annoying me, how can he let me serve the decoction? Although I stayed by the emperor's side for more than an hour, I only helped the concubine smash a few walnuts, and I haven't seen the decoction! What, do you want to plant me with any freshly baked charges? ”

The official didn't answer with a dark face, and Prime Minister Wu Cheng coughed and reprimanded majestically: "Before the first emperor Ling, don't argue and quarrel!" Miss Huanlin, no matter what, the first emperor once appointed you to serve in front of the emperor, and this matter must not be faked. ”

Huan Lin's eyes kept sweeping Shen Yuli, and seeing that he was still shaking his head, he had to continue to deny: "You can't say that, right?" When the first emperor appointed me to serve in the imperial court, he was already a little sick and confused, and he only said a few words to me before someone beat me out! The first emperor hated me, and you don't know it! By the way, don't think I'm a fool, why did the first emperor appoint me to serve in front of the emperor? Didn't you persuade that? It was said that the first emperor ordered me to serve in front of the emperor, but in fact, you ordered me to serve in front of the emperor, right? ”

She crackled and spoke quickly and loudly, no matter in front of the first emperor Ling, let alone how many concubines and princesses and officials were watching her jokes at the scene.

Isn't it that the first emperor hates her, and she is not afraid of being known! What's so shameful about being hated by the first emperor? She's so glorious!

Wu Chengxiang and others obviously didn't expect her to be so skinny. Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and only after the initial embarrassment had passed did someone speak: "Anyway, even if you have served by the side of the first emperor, even if you have only served a cup of tea, you can be regarded as a person in front of the emperor!" ”

"I haven't served tea!" Huan Lin straightened his neck and yelled at them, "Not only did I never serve tea, but even the walnuts I peeled, the first emperor didn't eat them!" I heard that it was given to the nineteenth princess later, so I can also be regarded as a person of the nineteenth princess? ”

Without waiting for others to answer, she hurriedly said again: "Ladies and gentlemen, this reason doesn't make sense! Why didn't I follow Shen Yuli for half a year and not be his person, and I only stood in front of the first emperor for an hour before becoming the first emperor's person? ”

At this point, several old ministers had already sunk their faces.

Prime Minister Wu took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "The royal front is noisy, and it is not a system!" ”

Huan Lin hurriedly turned to Shen Yuli: "I was wrong!" I won't quarrel anymore, I won't embarrass you, don't scold me! ”

"Come here." Shen Yuli beckoned to her.

Huanlin was busy walking over, but Prime Minister Wu Cheng coughed and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, when the first emperor was alive, he was very quiet and quiet, and there were very few palace attendants around him. Now...... It's not enough. ”

"What's not enough?" Ran around the forest to Shen Yuli's side, tugging at his sleeve and asked.

Shen Yuli said in a low voice: "Prime Minister Wu means that according to the rules, those who serve in front of the emperor must be martyred for their father. However, there are only more than ten palace attendants around my father, which is too few, so I have to arrest people to make up the number. ”

Huan Lin was suddenly frightened.

Martyrdom?

Did you really arrest her for the funeral? What kind of mouth is this, and she guessed it as soon as she opened her mouth? She's not a sparrow, she's a crow, right?!

Huan Lin shrunk his neck, slowly turned around, and looked at Prime Minister Wu Cheng: "So, you are deliberately trying to trick me into coming over in order to force me to give the first emperor a funeral?" ”

"Girl, be careful!" Prime Minister Wu's face was gloomy and very majestic: "Martyrdom for the first emperor is a blessing that others can't ask for!" If it weren't for the fact that you had been appointed to serve by the first emperor, this errand would not have been your turn! ”

He said these two sentences righteously and strictly, and he laughed angrily around the forest: "Is it a blessing?" That's easy to do, I've always been generous, this blessing is given to your old man, thank you! ”

Prime Minister Wu Cheng arched his hand upwards and said respectfully: "Weichen is naturally willing to accompany the funeral of the first emperor. It's just that there is a difference between inside and outside, I am not an internal attendant, how can I accompany the funeral? What's more, even if it is decided today, the people's hearts are not at peace, I still have to guard this country for Your Majesty! ”

"Phew!" Huan Lin smacked him unceremoniously: "Are you still guarding the country?" Are you still willing to accompany the burial of the first emperor? If I'm not mistaken, you're also a relict of the previous dynasty, right? You are so loyal and martyrful, why didn't you hang yourself on the beam when the previous dynasty fell? Don't say that the ministers are not good for burial, as far as I know, this change of dynasty, the loyal ministers and righteous men who died by hanging beams and touched the pillar are not 100 but 80, right? Why is there no you, Lord Wu? ”

Prime Minister Wu Cheng has been a second minister in the past two years, so he is most afraid that others will say that he is a second minister. At this time, when he heard Huan Lin bluntly talk about the future, he was so angry that his face turned black, and he almost fainted on the spot.

Huan Lin added unhurriedly: "You said that it is not easy for a foreign minister to accompany the funeral, and if you want to be a minister, it is very easy." - What about the eunuchs in the cleansing room? Come and cut a knife for Lord Wu, all the loyalty and glory of his life! ”

"You...... Presumptuous, presumptuous! Prime Minister Wu Cheng's old face was so angry that his face was purple, "Where are the imperial guards?" Don't take this unruly thing for me! ”

The imperial guards refused to move, and they all looked at Shen Yuli.

The latter frowned slightly, looking embarrassed: "Wu Xiang, Huan Lin is still young, and he has always been open-mouthed, and he used to be the same in front of his father. If there is any offense, just bear with it. ”

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Wu raised his head and looked at him unceremoniously: "This woman is now just a maidservant and she has already been arrogant to this point, if she flies on the branch on a different day, will she have to cause chaos in the palace?" This woman can't be left behind! ”

After he said that, he was about to beckon the guards again, but Shen Yuli interrupted again and said coldly: "Wu Xiangfang just said, this woman will fly on the branch one day?" In this way, Wu Xiang also knows that she is my person. ”

Prime Minister Wu's old face sank.

Shen Yuli then said: "It's good to know." Wu Xiang, Kang Zhongcheng, Qin Shangshu, this is the case: Huanlin is my person, and he can't be martyred for his father! ”

The faces of the few people whose names he named were not good-looking, they gave each other a look, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Your Majesty, Miss Huanlin's words and deeds are arrogant, and she really can't serve in front of the palace, please think twice." ”

"Hey," Huan Lin couldn't help but interject again, "Do you old things slap yourself in the face like this?" On the one hand, I insist that I am the person of the first emperor, and on the other hand, I want to say that I am not worthy of serving in front of the emperor, what do you want! ”

Qin Shangshu naturally knew the inconsistencies in his previous words, so he could only reluctantly say: "It seems that Miss Huanlin is indeed not suitable for the burial of the first emperor, but judging by her words and deeds, it is also not suitable to serve Your Majesty." Please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict and give death to Miss Huanlin! ”

Huanlin froze.

What does this mean? That is to say, even if she does not give the first emperor a burial, she will still die? This is blatant bullying!

Of course, Shen Yuli also knew that this was a blatant bully.

To be more precise, this is a dismount given to him by the courtiers led by Prime Minister Wu Cheng, in order to let him know that even if you become the emperor, you are just a puppet.

From the very beginning, these old ministers urged the first emperor to summon Huanlin to serve in front of the emperor, and the foreshadowing was today's step: let her be buried and get rid of her.

Now that the pretense of "martyrdom" can no longer be covered, they simply show their fangs, and no longer hide their malice towards the forest.

They just want her to die, they just want to see him sad, they just want him, the newly appointed puppet emperor, to not even have a caring person by his side.

Shen Yuli grabbed the hand that was holding Huanlin, stood up and took a few steps forward, and walked in front of Wu Chengxiang and the others: "Wu Xiang wants to kill Huanlin, but I can't agree." If you don't think it's worthwhile to fly on the branches to be a phoenix, then I don't want to be that plane tree. She's a little sparrow, and I only need to make a corner of the eaves, or even a broken tile, and that's enough to shelter her! ”

"You!" Prime Minister Wu Cheng and the others savored the meaning of his words, and Qi Qi was stunned.

What do you mean? He wants to give up the throne for a little girl who won so easily?

Or, does the sentence "a piece of broken tile" still have the meaning of preferring to be broken jade rather than complete tile?

The more the officials thought about it, the more chaotic they felt, the original momentum had long since gone, and their knees had already bent down.

"Your Majesty, by all means!" The cry shook the sky.

Shen Yuli led Huanlin to the offering table, lit three sticks of incense and said, "Since 'absolutely not', I will discuss this principle with you as the Son of Heaven." ”

He turned around and faced everyone: "Qin Shangshu, the prime minister of Shicai Wu, keeps saying 'rules' and 'precedents', you two probably forgot, less than two years after the founding of this dynasty, my father is the founding king of this dynasty, where is the 'precedent' in front of me?" Which dynasty's 'precedent' do you intend my father to follow? You have been an official in this dynasty, bowed to your father, bowed to me, I only think you are all loyal, but I don't want you to be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and sing me this good show! ”

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Wu and the others suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and they quarreled and shouted: "The ministers have no such intention, no such intention!" ”

It is true that they want to hold the emperor hostage, but with a few of their civil servants, they do not have the ability to change the dynasty. They don't dare to bear the name of "chaotic ministers and thieves"!

Shen Yuli stood in front of the spirit for a long time and did not speak. Seeing that all the officials, palace dependents, and slaves present knelt down, he let out a long sigh.

"This dynasty," he paused word by word, "to establish the country with force, to govern the country with benevolence, and not to learn from the tyranny of the previous dynasty!" Today, I have established an iron law here: from my father to the emperor, down to me, and down to the children and grandchildren of future generations, no living people are allowed to be buried! - Ministry of Rites, immediately ordered craftsmen to make terracotta figurines and place them in the underground palace to replace people, there must be no mistakes! ”

Qin Shangshu hadn't fully reacted in his heart, and he couldn't help but respond "yes" in his mouth.

After that, he sobered up a little, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at the "puppet emperor" in front of him who was not yet sixteen years old.

He, puppet?

Something seems to be wrong. Several ministers present thought so in their hearts.

But it's too late to get upset. Because it was obvious that Yu Linwei in the palace was really attached to this little emperor, and at this time, the palace family was already crying.

Everyone knows that there is a precedent of concubines being martyred in the palace of the former dynasty. At this time, Shen Yuli's words completely abolished this rule, that is, he saved the lives of these people!

The others were still there, and Ye Guifei was the first to fall to the ground, crying so much that she almost fainted.

Thinking that she has been planning in every way for half a year, she knelt in front of Shen Yuli and cried for most of the night last night, for what? It's not just to adopt an adopted son and save his life!

As soon as the boulder on his heart was removed, several concubines fainted on the spot.

Of course, it is said that it is because of the grief and hard work of the first emperor and the excessive sadness that they cried and fainted, in fact, everyone present knew that they were faint.

Whatever!
