Yao Jin's guess is almost the same as the situation in the palace. In fact, Emperor Li didn't even have time to explain a thing or two when he was dying, after a nap, the peace of the Zichen Hall was broken by Li Nan's exclamation, when he walked lightly to the emperor's couch and gently called the emperor to get up, because it had already passed the usual nap time, and he couldn't wake up for a long time, Li Nan cautiously opened the curtain and took a look - the emperor at this time had already diverged his pupils and had no breath at all. Li Nan was so frightened that he screamed on the spot, and then stumbled and crawled out to call people, and Zichen Hall suddenly became a mess. After a while, the prince Yao and the people from the hospital entered the dormitory almost at the same time, although the doctors had doubts about the reason for the emperor's sudden death after checking, but the prince reprimanded everyone in the hospital on the spot, and strictly ordered everyone present to take the overall situation first, and no one was allowed to speculate about the reason for His Majesty's death, otherwise it would be confusing people's hearts and killing without mercy; However, the harem could not be without a leader at this time, and in desperation, Concubine Wei Xian, who came in a hurry, had to take the idea first, gather the concubines one by one, and order everyone not to move around at will, nor to pass the news outside the palace. It's just that Concubine Wei Xian, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, was young after all, and after saying a few words to the concubines in the side hall, she still came to the prince Yao with a hesitant face, claiming that she was just a woman in the deep palace, in front of such a big event, except for restraining the harem concubines, she really didn't understand anything, everything was up to His Royal Highness the Prince. Seeing this, the other concubines naturally knelt down and asked the prince to be the master, so that the harem and the whole of the harem obeyed the arrangement of the prince Li Yao at once, and the imperial doctors were all in the deep palace for a long time.

This kind of statement is not undoubted by Emperor Li, who has always been in good health, but in the final analysis, who would refute the words approved by a crown prince who is about to ascend the throne as emperor? The ministers saw that the crown prince Yao was crying in front of the emperor's spirit, and said straightly, "My father is too diligent and loves the people and handles government affairs, so that the dragon controls the sky." In this way, and Mo Dongling knelt to the side with a heavy face, and everyone didn't say anything anymore, anyway, in the hearts of the ministers, they also understood that the first emperor had never been a confidant, rather than asking something without evidence at this time, it was better to stammer the crown prince who was about to ascend the throne as the emperor.

"Your Royal Highness, in addition to you, the first emperor, there is only one princess who has been sealed and is far away in Xiaonanguo, when the princess left Beijing, the first emperor had a decree 'If there is no national mourning, there is no need to enter Beijing', but now that the first emperor has died, do you want to pass on the decree of Princess Heya to enter Beijing?"

Li Yao pursed his lips that were a little dry, he was really tired during the two days of the national funeral, and said in a hoarse voice: "What Lord Zhongshu Ling said is very true, Princess Heya is the favorite princess of the first emperor, and she is deeply favored by the first emperor himself, and now that the first emperor has died, it is natural to let her enter Beijing as soon as possible, Caiyun City is far away, don't delay." ”

"Yes, the minister will arrange it when he goes back today. ”

At this time, in a side hall far away from the main hall in the Zichen Palace, Li Yao, Mo Dongling and the people of Zhongshu Province were deliberating. As a military official, Mo Dongling was naturally not qualified to participate in the discussion of politics, but as long as he stood at Li Yao's side without saying a word, Yao Juzheng couldn't help but bend his waist again, which was already two points in the face, facing the young prince. Although his pearl in the palm of his hand is married to Wei Yan, and Wei Yan has always been good friends with Prince Yao, Yao Juzheng, who has been immersed in the court for many years, has long seen that this prince Li Yao is far better than the former prince Li Zheng, in terms of scheming and ruthlessness, he can definitely compare with the first emperor at a young age, and his son-in-law who is of the same age but has no city government- Yao Juzheng thought of Wei Yan, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: he has been cautious and cautious as an official all his life, and he cherishes his reputation very much, even if the concubine in the family makes a mistake, he can immediately send the concubine out of the palace without being criticized by outsiders. Only Yao Jiaxi, the pearl of the palm, is one of his weaknesses, when he saw it by chance at a banquet in the palace, this daughter made up her mind to marry Wei Yan, but at that time, although the Wei family had a virtuous concubine, but Wei Yan had no position and no position, he couldn't help his daughter's begging, and had to pull down the old face and go around and around, and it was also a loss to the first emperor who learned about this to look at Wei Yan, and the virtuous concubine tried her best to promote, which made her daughter satisfied with the emperor's marriage and married into the Wei family. It's a pity that although Wei Yan's literary and martial arts are not bad, his character is also good, he has always respected Yao Jiaxi like a guest, and the harmony between the couple is gratifying, but Yao Juzheng found that this son-in-law can't see through the court situation, and the same is true for Prince Yao, although the two are friendly, but he has never been outspoken in his words, and there have been several times when he has not let the prince get off the stage, although Li Yao has never cared about it, but Yao Juzheng, who knew afterwards, always broke out in a cold sweat on his back after hearing about it, and he was even more uncertain: This prince will be on the throne in the future, will Wei Yan accidentally say yes one day, he will let Wei Yan's head fall to the ground when he is angry, and his daughter will not be unlucky？

Li Yao sat on the top, and when he saw Yao Juzheng's contemplative look, he glanced at Mo Dongling on his side, and Mo Dongling immediately walked to Yao Juzheng's side, facing Li Yao and said: "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general and Lord Yao are not only in-laws, but also old ministers who have followed the first emperor for many years, the first emperor died, although the ministers are full of grief in their hearts, but they know that the first emperor cares about the world, and the ministers can only follow His Royal Highness the Prince, listen to the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, and be loyal to the new emperor in the future, so as to live up to the trust of the first emperor in the ministers!"

Although these words were the same as if they were not said, but from the mouth of Mo Dongling, who had been at the border for a long time away from the court situation, Yao Juzheng couldn't help but glance at him, and wanted to give him a thumbs up in his heart. However, glancing at it, thinking about it, he still knelt down and kowtowed with Mo Dongling very quickly, and shouted in his mouth: "The minister will never dare to live up to the holy grace of the first emperor, and obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Li Yao looked at the two people kneeling on the ground in the hall, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it disappeared after a moment, he got up and walked quickly to the two of them, and said bitterly: "Lord Yao, General Mo, please get up quickly!"

Yao Juzheng put away his thoughts just now, thought about the current situation for a while, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, although there are many things in the national funeral, fortunately, they are all being done one by one at the moment, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, and I hope Your Highness——"

"Where does this palace have that mind now," Li Yao waved his hand to interrupt him, closed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling something, and slowly got up after a while, "But this palace ...... can not live up to the entrustment of his father when he established the palace as the crown prince. ”
