The attendants held the treasure of the book and the divine silk for summoning spirits, went out of the middle door, placed it in the palace, and then removed the inscription with the name written on it.

The hundreds of deacons who carried the spirit were in place in front of the big bars in front of the front and back of the Song Shenzong Zi Palace. The bar that carries the emperor's Zigong is an extra-large imperial bar, called the Dulong bar, which is installed with a dragon tail in front of the dragon's head, and one hundred and twenty-eight people are required to walk on the bar. The queen mother's is a big bar of ninety-six people. These spirit-carrying attendants have undergone strict training, and on weekdays, they must put a bowl full of water on the coffin, and hundreds of people march together, including going up and down the stairs, and not a drop of water on the coffin will not overflow!

The inner servants of the spirit carefully and slowly lifted the Zigong Palace of the emperor and the queen mother, the emperor came out first, and the queen mother followed, one after the other, and smoothly left the Funing Palace.

The inner deacons held the shrines on both sides, protecting the Azusa Palace (the coffin of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager), followed out, followed the steps, and lowered the Azusa Palace down the main hall.

Then, the lead officer knelt in front of the Azusa Palace, and asked the Azusa Palace to ascend to the dragon. Longhui is a kind of cart carved with dragon patterns to transport the emperor's coffin. The deacons carried the Azusa Palace to the dragon and decorated the Azusa Palace with colorful curtains.

The inner deacons held the banners on both sides, holding the umbrella fan, and under the loud chanting of the celebrant, they began to start and go to the outside of the palace. Behind the book Baoyu, Shen Baoyu, Zhenting, Mingjing followed. Then there were the queen mother, queens, princes, princes, concubines and other royal relatives, and the cry was miserable and miserable.

Along the way, the Imperial Forest Army was wearing heavy filial piety, standing like a ritual on both sides, Du Wenhao had changed into a military uniform, a coat of heavy filial piety, his hand pressed the hilt of the sword, and followed the coffin.

Of all the people in the entire funeral activities, only the three yamen checked Du Wenhao's waist and crotch sword and guarded them on the side. This was granted by the Queen Mother.

The spirit sending procession came out of the left hall gate and went straight to the noon gate. A memorial ceremony is to be held here. Naturally, it was still led by the heir emperor Zhao Xu, and under the singing and guidance of the celebrant officer, he bowed four times, sacrificed, and bowed again, and cried in unison.

The soul is about to end here, and it is necessary to say goodbye to the first emperor, and the crying of all the emperor's relatives and relatives shook the palace at this moment, beating their chests and feet and crying, facing the sky with their feet and four hands, and those who rushed to death and wanted to follow, all kinds of crying. The attendants cried and persuaded each other, and there was a mess.

In the meantime, there was also Zhao Hao, the king of Yong, who was crazy, and kept kowtowing to the sky and screaming for mercy.

Next, there is another very important ceremony to be held here, that is, the ordination ceremony of the new emperor to inherit the throne, that is, the enthronement in front of the coffin.

In the long tone of the celebrant singing salute, the heir emperor Zhao Xu was deprived of filial piety, and in front of the coffin of Song Shenzong, he knelt three times and bowed nine times, praying to accept the order and inherit the throne.

Then, the celebrant knelt in front of the Azusa Palace and asked the spirit to march. Subsequently, the leading official knelt down and invited the new emperor to return to the palace. Then he led the heir emperor Zhao Xu and the sad queen mother and other imperial relatives to return to the palace and came to the Daqing Hall where a major celebration was held. Here, Prime Minister Wang Qi has completed all the preparations for the succession ceremony.

Outside the noon gate, the ceremonial officer knelt and played, and asked Zigong to ascend to the great ascension and march. In addition to the emperor, the princes and princes cried and sent off, and the spirit drove out of Ruimen and came to the Taimiao, presided over by Zhao Hao, the king of Cao, and performed the ancestral ceremony.

The Yongyu Mausoleum of Song Shenzong has not yet been built, so it is necessary to stop in the Taimiao, wait for the mausoleum to be repaired, and then transfer it for burial. And the empress dowager wanted to accompany Song Renzong to the funeral of Yongzhao Mausoleum, so after the farewell ceremony, the ceremonial official knelt down and asked the spirit to go forward.

The princes and princes were sent to Deshengmen, kneeling and saying goodbye, watching them go away, and then returning to the palace to participate in the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

Leading the Imperial Forest Army to escort the Empress Dowager's coffin to Yongzhao Mausoleum was the deputy commander of the three ya, the general Li Pu. Du Wenhao wanted to stay to attend the new emperor's enthronement ceremony and be responsible for the security of the entire celebration.

The enthronement ceremony was held in the Daqing Palace, where a new arrangement had already been made, and after the new emperor was decided, it was carried out simultaneously with the funeral of the Fa Yin, and officials were sent to pay tribute to heaven and earth, Taimiao, and Sheji.

The civil and military officials who had previously participated in the funeral of Song Shenzong and the Empress Dowager followed the emperor to send the coffin to the noon gate. Then follow the emperor to the Daqing Palace, change clothes and prepare to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites have placed the emperor's jade seal on the dragon case in the palace, placed the congratulatory table of the ministers on the table, placed the edict of succession on the edict, and placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the inkstone.

On both sides of the main hall, there has been neatly placed the ceremonial guard law driving book, on both sides outside the Daqing gate, there are jade chariots and gold chariots inlaid with beautiful jade, gold and silver jewelry, and the Xuande Gate in front of them is set up with gold chariots, jade chariots, wooden chariots, leather chariots of five kinds of Tianzi chariots. There are also treasure elephants, as well as various instruments of the royal band.

Because Zhao Xu's enthronement ceremony is the enthronement in front of the coffin, that is, the succession to the throne at the same time as the funeral, so under the eaves of the Daqing Palace, a variety of musical instruments for playing the Dandian music are displayed, but there is no musician.

Before this, Du Wenhao had already arranged all the security of the entire enthronement ceremony, and at the last moment, he took the inner guards to patrol around the hall for a week.

The inside and outside of the palace have already been covered with the Imperial Forest Army, and the security checks at each gate are very strict, and it is impossible for the enemies outside to mix in, mainly to prevent problems with the people inside, so before the emperor came out, Du Wenhao carefully inspected the inside of the Daqing Hall again, including the palace maids, eunuchs, and civil and military officials, and even looked at their faces carefully.

At the same time, after Zhao Xu changed into the emperor's dress in the back cabinet of the Daqing Palace, he first came to the Wende Hall on the left side to accept the three kneeling and nine bows from the eight governors and the heads of the three provinces and six departments, the imperial history platform, the temple supervisors, the Hanlin Academy and other important departments of the imperial court. Since the new emperor had already exempted Du Wenhao from making a big salute, he just arched to the ground.

After the ceremony, the Ministry of Rites knelt down to ask the emperor to ascend the throne. Zhao Xu learned to be an adult again, paced out of the hall step by step, came out of the drum tower to the back pavilion of the Daqing Palace, dressed up, and walked into the Daqing Hall with his little head in swing, and ascended the golden throne of the Daqing Palace.

A little later on the throne side is an embroidered curtain. Behind the curtain, the Queen Mother sat high.

The ministers were in place, and the prime minister Wang Qi stood in front of the side of the throne of Jinluan, slowly unfolding the edict of the new emperor Zhao Xu. This enthronement edict was drafted and submitted for review overnight by the scholars of Zhongshu, so the edict began with the word "under the door", and there was no "Fengtian carrying the emperor's edict" and so on in the later Ming and Qing dynasties.

Wang Qi cleared his throat, shook his head in a slightly hoarse voice, and said in a low voice:

"Under the door. The king who was born and established by the people. So the order of the Quartet was issued. There is a world and it is passed on to the son. So the peace of the world. The first emperor was the Holy Spirit. Virtue and civil and military. Above the Three Kings. Between the seven intercalations of the stored sperm. Arrest Xi deeds. Dong Zhengfa ...... The proclamation is far and wide. Salty makes you know. ”

After reading the edict of succession, Wang Jue rolled the edict, handed it to the university scholar, held it and transferred it to the cabinet bachelor, and respectfully stamped the jade seal on it, and then handed the edict to the Ministry of Rites.

At this time, the bell and drum sounded at the noon gate. Under the guidance of the celebrant officer, the princes and ministers on the Danqi outside the Daqing Hall knelt down together and bowed three times and nine bows. Under the Danqi, a row of special attendants, holding a silent whip more than a foot long, sounded in the air.

Then, Wang Jue respectfully took another volume of the holy decree, which was the edict of the Yuan Dynasty, and said:

"I inherit the unification. Swift Swallow Scheme. It's up to the king. Eternal filial piety. Viyu Kid. It's not that hard. Conscientious. Sleep all night to stop ....... It is advisable to change the ninth year of Yuanfeng to the first year of Yuanyou from the first day of the first month. ”

After shaking his head and reading it, he handed over the edict to the cabinet for a big seal.

Then, he held another edict, which was to honor the Empress Dowager Gao as the Empress Dowager, and Wang Jue continued to chant:

"The King's Arrival. In ancient times, it was thought that the law of the world. He thought he was the first in the world. Trillion people. Cooperate with one virtue. The Empress Dowager is a good worker. The element of the body. Mingzhe is in line with Jiang Ren. Gong Jian is far more than Yin Ma. Assist Youngjo. Rumors of internal governance. Embrace the first dynasty. The mother is ready. Ignorance. Long-cherished lotus. Carry it around. Didactic achievement. Yu play. The nourishment of extreme Kyushu. Filial piety. The name of Gawan. Shu Cheng Cifan. I would like to honor the title of the Empress Dowager. ”

After handing over the edict to the cabinet for sealing, he held a holy decree, which announced that the new empress dowager would listen to the government. glanced at the ministers below, and his voice was extremely strong:

"The Empress Dowager Desheng Muyi. Dao Long Kunzai. Divine wisdom. Up to a few deep. Look up to mercy. Xu Tong listened. Should be a military affair. and the Empress Dowager has the same authority. ”

This time, under the chanting of the celebrant, the ministers knelt down and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

Then, Wang Jue read out several holy decrees, respectively canonizing the queen Xiang as the queen mother, and the concubine Zhu as the imperial concubine; Grant the privilege of Zhao Hao, King of Yong, and Zhao Hao, King of Cao, to praise and not name when worshipping; Zhao Ji, the younger brother of the emperor, was the king of Suining County, and the other princes all had knights.

After the ceremony, the edict was handed over to the official of the Ministry of Rites, and under the guidance of the Huangluo umbrella, he went out of the Daqing Palace, passed the Daqing Gate, came to the Xuande Gate, and issued the edict to the world. The whip sounded again.

In addition to participating in the pilgrimage, Du Wenhao's main duty is to wear the sword at his waist and hips, and to be on guard under the throne of the emperor of Daqing Palace.

Finally waited until the ceremony was completed, the new emperor Zhao Xu retreated to the apse, and the ministers dispersed, and Du Wenhao breathed a sigh of relief. He also took the Ouchi guards to inspect all places, check the duty of each palace gate, and urge the strengthening of vigilance, and when everything was finished, it was already evening. Fortunately, everything went smoothly and nothing went wrong.

Du Wenhao came to the Empress Dowager Gao Tao's dormitory, and when he asked, he was not there, saying that he had moved to Kunning Palace, the dormitory of the deceased Empress Dowager Cao. Du Wenhao hurriedly rushed to Kunning Palace again, and the eunuch on duty hurriedly welcomed him in. Du Wenhao asked, "What about the Empress Dowager?" ”

"General Hui, the Empress Dowager is in the flower garden in the back garden."

The back garden is the imperial garden of the harem, there is a flower garden in it, it is the favorite of the deceased Empress Dowager Cao, Du Wenhao once taught her to extend or shorten the lighting time, control the temperature and other methods to make the off-season flowers bloom, so there are flowers here, Gao Taotao is also very envious, she moved into the Kunning Palace, the first thing is to see this flower garden.

Du Wenhao, under the leadership of the eunuch, came to the arched door of the flower garden, and saw Gao Taotao sitting in the pavilion from a distance, looking at the flowers in the flower garden in a daze.

The funeral has ended, Gao Taotao has taken off his filial piety, changed into a black waist pleated long skirt, tied a white silk around his waist, and did not tie the cloud temples on his head, allowing a green silk to hang down on his back, loosely tied with white silk, looking very lazy and a little lonely.

Du Wenhao stepped forward quickly, came to the pavilion, and bowed: "Wechen has seen the Queen Mother!" ”

Gao's surging thoughts were summoned back by this voice, and when he heard the voice, he was happy, and when he turned his face to look, it was his lover Du Wenhao. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he beckoned: "No need to be polite, come up!" ”

Du Wenhao was busy in the gazebo and stood sideways.

Gao Tao waved his hand for the eunuchs and palace ladies to exit the garden, and motioned for him to sit beside him.

Although it was already evening, the sky was gradually darkening, but after all, this was a flower garden, too open, even if he knew that there was no one else inside, he always felt as if someone was peeping, so Du Wenhao was still a little weak-hearted, and sat beside her, keeping a distance of about a foot.

Gao Tao said angrily: "What are you doing sitting like that?" I'm not a tiger! ”

Du Wenhao grinned and said in a low voice: "You are powerful, you are more fierce than a tiger!" ”

Du Wenhao's words are a bit of a pun, not only about how powerful she was at executing Sima Daoren, but also because it can be understood as the ** when the two were making love. Of course, Gao Taotao heard the latter, his pretty face suddenly turned red, and he glanced at him: "What were you afraid of just now, this time you came to bargain?" - Why don't you sit down yet? No one would have dared to come in without me. ”

Of course, Du Wenhao knew this, so he leaned over boldly, and simply reached out to hug her small waist.

Gao Taotao leaned on his shoulder, still looking at the brocade flowers in the twilight outside the pavilion, and said quietly: "More than a month ago, the Empress Dowager was still cooking these flowers and plants here, and now, she has gone to ......."

Du Wenhao was very sad when he heard her voice, so he turned sideways and hugged her, and kissed her face: "Talking, the funeral is over, the deceased is gone, and you have to continue the journey of life, so don't think about these sad things?" ”

"Hmm!" Gao Tao turned his face sideways, looked at him, and for a moment, smiled reluctantly: "Now, I have also become the empress dowager, and I feel a lot older all of a sudden......"

"What an old!" Du Wenhao bowed his head lovingly and kissed her red lips, soft, but a little cold, and said softly: "My Tao Tao skin is still so smooth and tender, like a shelled egg, Tao Tao will never get old, always so young and beautiful!" ”

Gao Taotao's eyes flashed with joy, looking up at him, with love in his heart, he raised his arm around his neck, the two kissed, and after a long time, they reluctantly separated, Gao Taotao snuggled in his arms, and said softly: "Wen Hao, I'm so scared of ......"

"Afraid of what?" Du Wenhao gently stroked her hair.

"I'm afraid that one day, I will be like the Queen Mother, once I close my eyes, I will never see you......"

Du Wenhao held her face, and saw that her phoenix eyes were already full of tears, her long eyelashes blinked, and a crystal teardrop rolled down her cheeks.

Du Wenhao felt sorry in his heart, leaned over and kissed her tears, and said in a low voice: "Stupid words! You can't be a few years older than me, as a general, I will definitely die in front of you when I fight in the north and south......"

"Phew! Don't talk nonsense! Gao Tao stretched out Rouyi to cover his mouth, and said angrily, "It's all my fault, talking about these dead and alive, provoking you to talk crazy!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Du Wenhao pouted and kissed her palm, "The two of us will live a hundred years, and when the time comes, we will ascend to heaven together and be a happy fairy couple!" Pick peaches in the peach orchard every day to eat! ”

Gao Tao laughed, his face was full of intoxicated joy, and snuggled into his arms: "If that's the case, it would be great......"

"Absolutely. God is long-eyed, and he will definitely not be willing to let us separate. ”

"Hmm......" Gao Tao closed his eyes happily, savoring Du Wenhao's words.

It was getting dark, and at that moment, there was a rustling sound in my ears.

"It's raining!" Du Wenhao said happily, "It's been a long time since it's raining, this day, it's going to rain happily, it's comfortable!" ”

Gao Tao opened his eyes, saw the raindrops dripping on the flowers outside the pavilion, and his face was full of joy, sat up straight, got up, took Du Wenhao's hand, and walked to the edge of the pavilion: "I like it to rain the most, when it rains, I feel that my heart is quiet, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the plantains, it is very pleasant." ”

"yes, 'Who planted the plantain tree in front of the window?' The atrium is full of shade. The yin is full of atrium, Ye Ye's heart, and Shu Juan has more feelings. ’”

Gao Tao turned his face sideways and looked at him happily: "This word is so good, did you write it?" ”

"No, no, it was written by a female lyricist named Li Qingzhao in our Great Song Dynasty."

"Li Qingzhao? How come I haven't heard, where is she? ”

Du Wenhao smiled apologetically: "I don't know. ”

He only knew that Li Qingzhao lived in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and later after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, he transferred to the Southern Song Dynasty, but the specific time and birth date are not clear, and he does not know where he is from, and whether he has been born now.

Gao said: "This is Shangyun, right?" What about the lower run? Read it to me. ”

"Good ,——" sad pillow on the three more rain, a little bit of rain. A little bit of rain, sad northerners, not used to listening. ’”

Gao Tao was leisurely fascinated: "Good words, really good words." You just reminded me of this word, we built a rain listening pavilion in this flower garden, planted banana trees around it, when it rained, the two of us were in the pavilion, playing the piano and drinking, and chanting poems. How is it? ”

Du Wenhao smiled: "The idea is very good! It's just that I can't recite poetry, let alone play the piano, so it's okay to drink. Hehe, why don't you play the piano and recite poetry, I'm drinking, you play a song, I'll have a drink, I'll make a poem, I'll drink another drink, how about it? ”

"It's not good, it's not good, what's the meaning of me playing the piano and reciting poetry alone, didn't you just recite a poem?"

"That's Li Qingzhao's."

"I don't believe it! The words you just read are so good, you can't come out without the hands of famous artists, what do you say is written by someone named Li Qingzhao, I'm not talking big, I have been reading poetry since I was a child, ancient and modern poetry, I don't really know much. How could I have never heard such a good word? Hum! You must have filled it in by yourself, but you coaxed me to say what Li Qingzhao did, I don't care, you have to accompany me to recite poetry! ”
