Seeing the arrival of Lu Yijian and other ministers, Li Shunrong wanted to retire with the raccoon dog, after all, women are not allowed to interfere in politics, but Zhao Zhen grabbed Li Shunrong's sleeve at this time and said: "Mother doesn't have to leave, I just want to discuss the funeral of the eldest lady with Lu Xiang, and there is also the title of my mother, if my mother has any ideas, I can also put it forward directly!" ”

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he didn't allow Li Shunrong to answer, and then turned his head to ask Lu Yijian and others about Liu E's funeral, seeing that his son insisted, Li Shunrong couldn't say anything, so he had to sit aside and not speak, Li Zhang also listened quietly at this time, in fact, Liu E is the queen mother, and there is naturally a set of rules at the funeral, and some small places may be changed, but there is nothing to discuss in the big aspects.

However, after discussing the process of the funeral, the third envoy Xue Kui suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the dress that the Queen Mother wore when she was buried has not yet been decided, and now that the Queen Mother has passed away for many days, please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Originally, according to etiquette, people would put on funeral clothes as soon as they died, but when Liu E died, there was a disagreement about whether to wear a gown to be buried, Zhao Zhen did not make a decision for the time being, and then he went to the imperial tomb to meet Li Shunrong, so Liu E was still wearing the gown when he died in the past few days, which made Xue Kui and others very dissatisfied, and they always wanted to change the gown.

"This ......" Zhao Zhen also showed a hesitant expression when he heard this, and even looked at Li Zhang next to him, Xue Kui and these people were resolutely opposed to Liu E being buried in a gown, but Li Zhang was the opposite, which made him very embarrassed, and he was a little undecided at this time.

"Xue Jixiang said this is wrong, the Queen Mother obviously wanted to wear a gown to be buried before she died, she worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty all her life, and she had already worn a gown to the Taimiao Temple before, so she also agreed to reduce some patterns and decorations in the gown, strictly speaking, it is no longer a gown, which has also been agreed by the Ministry of Rites and the ministers, why not be buried in a gown now?" Li Zhang also stood up at this time and retorted, on the matter, although he admired Xue Kui's personality, he would not back down in this matter.

"The ancestral etiquette is immutable, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been a queen mother buried in a gown!" Xue Kui also argued without giving an inch, he was not targeting Li Zhang, but the two sides had different positions on this matter, so he refused to give in at this time.

Seeing Li Zhang and Xue Kui arguing so fiercely, Zhao Zhen was even more embarrassed at this time, but what no one expected was that at this time, Li Shunrong suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, does the Queen Mother really want to be buried in a gown before she dies?" ”

"This ...... The Queen Mother was speechless at the time, but she grabbed my clothes and didn't let go, and pointed to her own clothes, so I think the Queen Mother might mean that. Zhao Zhen didn't dare to lie to Li Shunrong, and hesitated for a moment to tell his true thoughts, after all, he, like Li Zhang, is the person who knows Liu E best.

"Auntie, the Queen Mother wore a gown when she went to the temple before, and even if she fell ill after she came back, she refused to take off her gown, so it has become an obsession in her heart, and she will not change it easily even before she dies!" Li Zhang also stepped forward at this time and saluted.

"Since it is the queen mother's meaning before her death, I think the deceased is the greatest, and the queen mother has worked hard over the years, and the Great Song Dynasty is also prosperous under her governance, so it is also the queen mother's deserve to be buried in a gown!" Li Shunrong said calmly at this time, her feelings for Liu E are also very complicated, that is, there is gratitude, awe, and even a little hatred, but in general, she does not have too much bad feelings towards Liu E.

Seeing that his mother had spoken, Zhao Zhen also made a decision immediately, after all, this was the first request made by his mother after she came back, so I saw Zhao Zhen immediately say to Xue Kui: "Since my mother said that the queen mother should be buried in a gown, then let's do it as such, just one piece of clothing, presumably the ancestors and ancestors will not care too much!" ”

Although Xue Kui is loyal, he is not stupid, and Zhao Zhen has moved out the ancestors and ancestors of their Zhao family to represent it, which directly blocked Xue Kui's words, so he can only nod helplessly, as for Lu Yijian and the others next to him, they are even more human, just now they let Xue Kui take the lead, and now that they see Li Shunrong and Zhao Zhen speaking, they will naturally not object again.

After discussing Liu E's funeral, Zhao Zhen suddenly spoke again: "I have lived for more than 20 years, and I don't know my life story until today, and now I recognize my mother, which is also a great joy, I want to respect my mother as the queen mother, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

Although Zhao Zhen's words are reasonable, but Lu Yijian and others are all secretly worried when they hear this, because there are generally only two kinds of titles of the queen mother, the first is the emperor's empress, and the emperor naturally becomes the queen mother when he dies, such as Liu E, and the second is posthumously, which is rare, and it is generally a very high-status concubine who is posthumously gifted, such as Zhao Zhen's adoptive mother, Concubine Yang, who was posthumously presented as the queen mother after her death.

Strictly speaking, the identity of the Queen Mother is actually above the emperor, and the emperor is not qualified to canonize the Queen Mother, so Zhao Zhen used the word "respect", but it is the first time to respect a living person as the Queen Mother, and it is estimated that only an emperor with a bizarre background like Zhao Zhen will encounter it, which makes Lu Yijian and these people not know how to answer for a while.

"Your Majesty, although I am your biological mother, I have never raised you over the years, and I am also ashamed of this, so I really don't deserve the honorific title of Queen Mother, and I ask Your Majesty to retract this idea!" At this time, Li Shunrong said softly, what she said was also the truth, after all, it was her own decision to give up Zhao Zhen, so she actually felt guilty about Zhao Zhen, which is also one of the reasons why she didn't hate Liu E, after all, the two parties were voluntary, even if she didn't agree at the beginning, Liu E could choose someone else.

"Mother, I can promise you other things, but this matter must not be promised, you are my mother, naturally the queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty, if you are not the queen mother, then what does I mean as an emperor?" Zhao Zhen was correct again at this time.

As soon as Zhao Zhen's words came out, Lu Yijian and the others below changed their faces again, in order to respect Li Shunrong as the queen mother, Zhao Zhen put out the cruel words, if they dared to object, Zhao Zhen, the emperor, did not plan to do it, which made them all look at each other and smile bitterly, and then nodded in agreement, now it is useless for Li Shunrong to object.

Seeing the reaction of the ministers, Zhao Zhen also showed a satisfied smile, and then immediately asked people to prepare an edict to inform the world about respecting Li Shunrong as the queen mother, but as soon as the holy decree was issued, Li Zhang was also busy dealing with Liu E's posthumous affairs, but there was not very good news from the northwest again.
