Three days after Gonggong Ye came to threaten Yang Huairen in the middle of the night, news came from the palace that the Empress Dowager and her old man were indeed "Bintian" as scheduled.

If this matter had been put in the past, it would have shocked the government and the opposition, but now the atmosphere is a little strange, the news of the death of the Empress Dowager Gao came out of the palace, and the city of Tokyo seemed to be the same as usual, and there was not much crying.

Empress Dowager Gao, in the hearts of ordinary people, the impression is actually not bad, everyone has never heard of her establishment of the Great Song Dynasty any great contributions, of course, I have not heard of her any major mistakes, just as a kind old woman died, but her status is much higher than ordinary.

Ordinary people, for the things in the palace, are curious, but they don't care too much, because the amount of information is really limited, at most, they sigh a few times for the death of the Empress Dowager Gao when they chat after tea and dinner, and it is not realistic to really cry out to the heavens and the earth.

The courtiers in the court were so busy figuring out the holy will that they didn't have time to cry at all.

Those officials who were promoted during the reign of the Empress Dowager Gao are now being degraded and degraded, and they are idle, although they are grateful for the grace of the Empress Dowager Gao, they are always inevitably a little sad in their hearts.

But at this time, they can't be the first birds, and they just hide at home, cover their heads with a quilt, whine a few times, wipe their tears, and in such a situation, they can't let others know, so they don't dare to make noise.

Weddings and funerals in this year, are all kinds of rules, the Empress Dowager Gao died to hold a funeral, although there is no high standard like the emperor's death, the body is placed on the first seven and seven for a total of 14 days for the palace and courtiers to pay tribute, or the number of ceremonies.

However, Zhao Xu didn't seem to like his grandmother's body for half a month in the palace, and the court immediately held a funeral for his grandmother on the grounds that it was too hot for his grandmother's body to decompose, and then ordered someone to send the body of the Empress Dowager Gao to the imperial tomb for burial.

The mouth is to ask for the opinions of the courtiers, but these days are the time when the courtiers are nervous, no one dares to touch Zhao Xu's moldy head with filial piety or rules, and there is no opposition at all, but they rush to jump out and say that the official family does this, which is the posture that a filial son and grandson should have.

This is the same as no one crying, people go tea and cool, and it will remain unchanged for eternity. And Zhao Xu enjoyed this feeling of saying nothing about this period of time, and it was inevitable that he was a little fluttering.

However, the funeral still has to be held in a big way, although it is a little urgent, but the scene that should be there is still done very sufficiently, which can be regarded as the last face that his grandson gave to his grandmother.

Yang Huairen was summoned to the palace, and Zhao Xu's intention to find him was also obvious, and he ordered him to transport the coffin of the Empress Dowager Gao out of the palace immediately after the funeral, and transport it to the Imperial Mausoleum of Gongxian County, and choose a good day to bury her next to Yingzong's mausoleum.

Yang Huairen only had to admire Gonggong Ye at this time, admiring him was really a roundworm in the stomach of the two bigwigs in the palace, whether it was the Empress Dowager or Zhao Xu, what they were thinking, Gonggong Ye knew it clearly.

And Yang Huairen seems to be the one who Zhao Xu is not happy to do in the court, and he has to summon him into the palace to order him to do something.

Yang Huairen can't tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, Zhao Xu can use him like this, which shows Zhao Xu's trust in him, in the eyes of others, this is the emperor's grace and grace.

Yang Huairen didn't say a word, and happily accepted the order. Only led more than 20 people to the Shou'an Hall to pull the huge coffin containing the body of the Empress Dowager Gao, and the rest of the people took on the duties of guards, and it was inconvenient to enter the palace, so they had to stay outside the palace gate and wait.

Walking into the Shou'an Hall again, Yang Huairen felt a gust of yin wind in his face, he knew in his heart that the Empress Dowager Gao was not really dead at least for now, and this yin wind could only show that Gonggong Ye, the big yin man, was hiding nearby.

A huge cedar coffin with gold rim and inlaid with various colored gems is placed in the center of the main hall, which is really a bit too rich.

The lid of the coffin is only two-thirds covered, leaving a space for people to admire the remains of the Empress Dowager Gao, despite the current situation, few people really dare to come to pay respects.

Except for Gao Shilin and Gao Shixun, the two younger brothers of the Empress Dowager Gao, who brought their families to visit, only Zhao Hao's family came.

Although he didn't see Zhao Hao, Yang Huairen could guess Zhao Hao's current mood. It's not that he doesn't understand the struggle for power, it's just that he doesn't like to be involved.

For Zhao Hao, on one side is his mother, on the other hand is his own nephew, and he is also the current emperor, he is caught in the middle, it is really not good to be a man.

Empress Dowager Gao's death, he may not have said anything on his lips, but he must have known it in his heart, such a thing, he was born in the emperor's family, and he had seen a lot of it.

Although he didn't know exactly what happened that day like Yang Huairen, judging from the results, things were quite clear.

The only thing that made him resentful was that he felt that Zhao Xu had gone too far, although Zhao Xu's idea of regaining the imperial power was legitimate, but afterwards he clearly acted like he would not hurt the Empress Dowager Gao, but in the end, he still did not tolerate a person who had oppressed him for a long time and continued to live in the palace.

He should be attending the funeral, and he doesn't know what the scene will be like after the uncle and nephew meet.

Yang Huairen didn't bother to think about this, he was just curious about what the Empress Dowager Gao, who had eaten the turtle and scattered, was like.

Looking left and right, there was no one around, Yang Huairen decided to step on the ladder and climb up the coffin to take a look - the coffin was also tall for his female horse, and if he didn't climb the ladder, he couldn't see what was going on inside.

When climbing the ladder, I was inevitably a little apprehensive, yes, it was the feeling of seven up and eight down, I was afraid that Gonggong Ye would not give the Empress Dowager Gao enough weight, and suddenly opened his eyes and deceived the corpse.

When he saw the appearance of the Empress Dowager Gao, Yang Huairen relieved his heart.

Empress Dowager Gao is still wearing a gorgeous robe, with a phoenix crown and various colored jewelry, which is even more expensive than the outfit she wore before her death.

His face was made up, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his daughter had a blood-red red lip, as terrible as if he had just eaten two children and had not wiped his mouth.

Yang Huairen wanted to poke his head down to hear if the old woman's heartbeat was really imperceptible as the old monk said, but then he thought about it, the imperial doctor in the palace didn't find anything, so he wouldn't do such a disgusting and terrible thing.

took out the kitchen knife from his arms, poked the tip of the knife outside the old woman's nostrils, and waited for a while, Yang Huairen didn't find a trace of mist on the smooth tip of the knife, so he praised, "This turtle is really a mess." ”8)
