Chapter 538: The Emperor Dies

"The emperor is dead!"

The historical Apocalypse Carpenter Emperor, in the time and space of Ye Xun, finally finished his inglorious life ahead of schedule.

The emperor was seriously ill and had not been to court for more than a year, so his death was expected by his subjects.

It's just that the time of Zhu Youxiao's death is inevitably a little delicate, although Ye Xun and Zhang Weixian, Yang Sichang and others have reached a secret agreement before, but at that time, Ye Xun and Yang Sichang have not broken up, and now because of the Altan matter, it is obviously impossible to let the two work closely as before.

After Yang Sichang and Yu Zhaojie left the cabinet courtroom, they went back to the house directly, according to his thoughts, he thought that Ye Xun would bow his head to him and admit his mistakes as before, but before he got home, the news of the emperor's death came from the palace.

Yang Sichang and Yuan Keli can play tantrums with Ye Xun, and even threaten to resign, but at this time, they must not leave.

Heaven and earth monarch teacher, this is the order that every civil official who reads poetry and books must follow, the emperor hangs up, you have a great grievance, and you have to finish the emperor's funeral first, because this is a ceremony greater than the law.

After the bell rang, the civil and military officials rushed to the palace, received filial piety clothes at the entrance of the palace, and howled all the way to the mourning hall where the emperor's coffin was parked.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace can be described as moving quickly, and when the officials entered the palace, they found that everything was ready, as if they knew that the emperor would die today.

Under the white curtain, the entire palace seemed to turn white, and in addition to the queen and some royal relatives who arrived first, some attentive officials suddenly found that Ye Xun was not there.

That's a bit too bad, isn't it? It stands to reason that the emperor's death is such a big event, he should preside over the overall situation in the palace, what did he do at such an important moment?

In fact, everything was controlled by Ye Xun, how could he leave, the reason why he didn't appear at this time was to give Baozhu a chance to perform in front of the emperor's relatives and civil and military ministers.

The word curtain listening to politics was heard by Ye Xun from the Empress Dowager Cixi, and when he first said it to Baozhu, Baozhu said that he would not say anything.

Ye Xun had no choice but to tell Baozhu what he thought in his heart, only by letting Baozhu be in charge of the government could it be justified, and only in this way could the influence of the cabinet on the government be gradually eliminated.

Of course, everything is still controlled by Ye Xun behind his back, and when his son grows up in the future, he will hand over a complete court that is not controlled by powerful ministers to his son.

This decision was made by Ye Xun after careful consideration, and the first thing to consider was whether the orb would deteriorate once he took power, but this worry was quickly dispelled, because Ye Xun suddenly figured out a truth.

The reason why a woman can be strong is because her man can't do it, with Ye Xun's means and ability, it seems that Baozhu has that mind, and I'm afraid that she doesn't have that ability, not to mention that Baozhu is not that kind of person.

Before, whether it was in the hearts of the people or officials, Baozhu's reputation was very good, and then it was time for her to stand up.

Although Ye Xun is not in the mourning hall, he is not idle, the first thing in the successive changes of the throne is to ensure a smooth handover and smooth transition, and the key during this period is the layout and transfer of troops.

During the funeral, the palace was taken over by the people of the Beijing camp, and the men and horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were temporarily stationed outside the city.

Ye Xun's unexpected absence suddenly gave Yang Sichang and Yuan Keli hope.

Although rumors about the ambiguous relationship between Ye Xun and the queen are flying all over the sky, Yang Sichang and others do not believe that the eunuchs of the past dynasties are much closer to the harem, but the eunuchs are eunuchs, how can they be compared with these capable ministers of the country? As long as this young queen is fooled, there is no possibility of kicking Ye Xun out of the court in the future.

The two old guys can be regarded as having a good heart, and they understand each other's thoughts with one look.

The emperor died, although there were people from the Zongren Mansion and the Internal Affairs Mansion, but Lord Yuan, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, naturally intervened.

And Yang Sichang, as the first assistant of the cabinet and the head of the hundred officials, leads the ministers and helps the little queen deal with some things, which is also normal.

Ye Xun was not there for a while, but it became a stage for the two old guys to perform.

People are old and fine, and the purpose of the two old guys is Ye Xun, so the first thing to do is not to set up the queen, but to have a good relationship with the queen.

Not to mention, with the help of these two old ministers, Baozhu is more handy in handling things.

Baozhu was originally kind to people, but now he is grateful to the two bosses, and his attitude is more amiable, and he will take the initiative to consult and entrust him with many things.

Baozhu's attitude undoubtedly gave the two elders another shot in the arm, and when they started to do things, they worked harder.

For personal reasons, Ye Xun would never go to kowtow to Colonel Zhu You.

The mourning hall continued noisily, but Ye Xun hid in the Kunning Palace, with a small basket by the side of the jewel, but he was not worried about the safety of the jewel.

Mu Zheng, who found that the problem was wrong, quickly came over.

Ye Xun is teasing his son, the little guy's nutrition can keep up, and he is getting fatter and fatter day by day.

Ye Xun can't be by his side every day, and when he holds his son, he is also very close.

Father and son are connected, when the little guy is held in Ye Xun's arms, he just stares at his dark eyes, staring at his father for a moment, not crying or making trouble.

Seeing that Ye Xun was bent on teasing the little prince, Mu Zheng couldn't say anything to disappoint him directly, and stood next to him for a while, not knowing that the string in his head was wrong, he suddenly said with a look of surprise: "Gonggong Ye, have you found it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks very similar to you"

Ye Xun glanced at Mu Zheng, and said in his heart, can my son not be like me? Knowing that he had something to say, he beckoned Hua Xin over, and then handed his son over.

Just after being glared at by Ye Xun, Mu Zheng suddenly came to his senses, can you talk nonsense like this!

Seeing that the little prince was taken away, he told Ye Xun about Yang Sichang and Yuan Keli's performance in the mourning hall.

Ye Xun was slightly stunned, then laughed, and only after a moment did he say to himself: "The first step is to marry the queen, and the next step should be to find someone who can replace me."

"Mu Zheng, I remember I asked you before, what is your ideal? You told me that there is good food, just have silver flowers, and now I ask you the same question, are you willing to live your life as you are now? ”

This question is a bit too sudden, Mu Zheng didn't even think about it, you must know that although he can't call for wind and rain in the outer court, he is a veritable chief of the inner court, as a eunuch, he has reached the peak of his life, and there is nothing to ask for.

But people are like this, when Ye Xun asked him like this, he couldn't help but grow grass in his heart, and secretly thought to himself, could it be that Father-in-law Ye is going to promote me? ...
