。 As soon as they entered the palace gate, the civil and military officials found that the samurai, chamberlain, and palace maids in the palace were already dressed in linen and filial piety, and even the guns and halberds in the hands of the samurai were wrapped in white silk. A eunuch stood in front of a pile of white clothes like a hill, and sang a salute in a mournful voice: "The emperor is funeral, and the civil and military officials go to Jifu and bring filial piety into the palace." The civil and military officials had already known the news of the emperor's death, so they did not cause any commotion because of this, they silently walked over, led a set of white clothes over the official robe, and tied it to the official hat with white silk, and walked silently to the golden hall one by one, many of them were already crying lowly.

On the Golden Palace, Zhao Guangyi stood under the throne with filial piety, and on the left and right stood the three prime ministers Lu Duoxun, Lu Yuqing and Xue Juzheng, who were also dressed in filial piety clothes, silently watching the civil and military officials rush in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, last night...... His Majesty died of a violent illness, and he has already died. Zhao Guangyi said in a deep voice, two lines of hot tears could not stop flowing, civil and military officials fell to the ground together, crying loudly, for a while the golden palace was on the trumpet, thick and thin high and low all kinds of cries converged into a strange sound.

Zhao Guangyi and the three prime ministers did not dare to bear the worship of the hundred officials in the front, and also retreated to the side to worship with them to the vacant dragon chair on the imperial step. ”

After the hundred officials stood up one by one, Lu Duoxun said: "The first emperor was conscientious and conscientious, worked hard, and finally the dragon was sick, and he died of a violent illness. The country can not be left without an owner for a day, shocked to hear that His Majesty died, Lu Duoxun was frightened and sad, but he did not dare to forget the responsibility of the prime minister, and was eager for Lu Xiang and Xue Xiang to consult, Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, was smart and humble, with noble character and noble virtue, and could be the master. The ministers supported it, and asked the queen for permission, and resolved: Fujin King is promoted to the throne and is the lord of my Song country! King Jin, please ascend to the throne, and hundreds of officials pay homage to the new king. ”

Zhao Guangyi couldn't stop crying, waved his hand again and again to refuse, sobbed so much that he couldn't speak, was forcibly helped on the dragon chair by Lu Yuqing and Xue Juzheng, and knelt down in front of him with his hands. ”

"Zhongqing's family...... Flat. ”

Zhao Guangyi's choked voice echoed in the Golden Palace: "The first emperor died, the heavens and the earth were shattered, and I ...... Grief can not be on its own. In the palace of the emperor today, a mourning hall has been set up for the first emperor, and I have led hundreds of officials to worship the first emperor, cry and guard the spirit, and discuss the temple number of the first emperor. State affairs can not be wasted for a day, but the first emperor is my siblings, the first emperor is mourned, I am grief-stricken, it is really difficult to deal with state affairs, so I stopped for three days, and after three days, I came to the court to listen to the government. I hope that the ministers will assist wholeheartedly, extend the national ancestry, and rejuvenate my Great Song Dynasty. ”

He stood up, sobbed and said: "The first emperor has a great trip, and he should be given a national funeral." Lu Xiang, who should be responsible for this matter? ”

Lu Duosun said respectfully: "All court meetings, guests, auspicious ceremonies. All national ceremonies, suburban temples, sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, feasts, canonizations, calendars, springs, systems, and tribulations. All foreign officials make pilgrimages, pay tribute, and the reinstatement and thanksgiving of the ministers and ministers should be ...... Hosted by Honglu Temple. ”

At that time, the Ministry of Rites was mainly responsible for the imperial examination, and the imperial court ceremonies were all presided over by the Honglu Temple, Zhao Guangyi only said that Yang Hao had fled, but he still didn't know, so he said with tears: "So, where is the Honglu Temple?" ”

He looked at the ministers with teary eyes, and heard a shout from the ministers at the station: "The ministers are here!" ”

An official dressed in filial piety clothes limped out of the civil official queue and waved to him from afar: "Minister, listen to the order!" ”

"Ahh

Zhao Guangyi was shocked, as if he had seen a ghost, and looked directly at Yang Hao.

Yang Hao didn't realize it, he shook it again, and said loudly: "Please give instructions from Your Majesty." ”

"Ahh Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed with panic, and then he said: "Honglu Temple should be responsible for the state funeral etiquette, and Yang Qing, as the secretary of Honglu Temple, should take responsibility and preside over the affairs of the first emperor and the future." ”

"Minister...... Compliance ......"

Yang Hao shouted the order, raised his head, the eyes of the two touched, a cluster of flames flashed suddenly in Zhao Guangyi's eyes, but Yang Hao's eyes were clear, his expression was natural, and there was nothing unusual, Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but hesitate when he saw it.

On the ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Vertical Arch Palace, Yang Hao discussed the funeral rites with the three prime ministers, and with the consent of Zhao Guangyi, the three prime ministers resigned and guided the hundred officials to worship the spiritual seat of the first emperor.

Zhao Guangyi sat behind the imperial book case, looked at Yang Hao standing in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while. Yang Hao also stood there, looking at Zhao Guangyi calmly, the two looked at each other for a long time, and Zhao Guangyi suddenly said, "I ...... I heard that Yang Qing went to Nanya last night? ”

"Yes, the minister has been. The official family was busy with river dredging at that time, and he did not return at night, so the minister resigned. ”

"Oh......"

Zhao Guangyi picked up the cup of tea in front of him, took a sip lightly, and showed a palpitating smile on his face: "I thought Yang Qing had something big, and I asked Yu Xi to look for you after I went back, who knew that Yu Xi arrived at the house, but saw that it was empty, I was really strange, because there were two places in the city to walk the water, busy with scheduling, and then I heard that the first emperor died, and the square inch was in chaos, and I couldn't take care of Yang Qing for a while, Yang Qing's mansion was ...... Nothing, right? ”

"Nope!"

Yang Hao's smile was also very strange: "The minister is so young, he has already lived in the Great Honglu, ranked in the Jiuqing, and is a very popular minister. I always feel grateful for the kindness of my mother's upbringing. It is the greatest regret of the minister to cherish the early death of his mother and not be able to support his filial piety. Therefore...... Yesterday, the minister asked his family to go to Bazhou in the north to worship and sweep the tomb of his mother, because he sent his family out of the city, and he came back after a while, so he must not have met with Lord Cheng. ”

Zhao Guangyi raised his eyebrows slightly, brought up a piece of slaughter, and said lightly: "This is strange, I remember that when I asked Cheng Dexuan to look for Yang Qing, it was already three o'clock, why didn't I see Yang Qing?" ”

Yang Hao said without changing his face: "The minister remembers very clearly, at the moment of the hour, the minister went back to the house, after returning to the house, he ate a bowl of supper, took a bath, and slept until dawn, and then rushed to the court. ”

Zhao Guangyi's pupils shrank slightly, and he smiled: "In a moment, you will be back?" ”

Yang Hao said categorically: "It will never be wrong, in a moment, the minister will return to the house and never leave." ”

Zhao Guangyi stared at him for a long time, then smiled: "In this way, I must have misremembered." The death of the first emperor is the most important thing at the moment, and you, as a great Honglu, should do your best to bury the first emperor in a beautiful way. Go ahead, and go to the mourning hall to take care of it, and take care of it. ”

"Obey." Yang Hao gave a long sigh and retreated.

Wang Jien flashed to Zhao Guangyi's side with an arrow step, and as soon as Zhao Guangyi waved his hand, he blocked back what Wang Jien was about to say, and Wang Jien's hand was raised viciously and was about to split slowly retracted.

"Cao Bin Keken and Chu Zhaofu signed an official document to stop the Northern Expedition and transfer the King of Wei back to Beijing?"

"Yes!"

Wang Jien's waist naturally bent down: "At dawn, Cao Shumi finally signed the seal, and General Chu has ordered the eight-hundred-mile urgent express to be transmitted to the Northern Expeditionary Army. ”

Zhao Guangyi sighed and said: "This matter is the most important thing at the moment, the army must be willing to stop, and the King of Wei must be willing to come back, this country ...... It's kind of stable. You go to the mourning hall and look at the point to see how the hundred officials react, but if there is an abnormality, report it to me immediately. ”

"Obey" Wang Jien agreed, but did not move.

Zhao Guangyi smiled slightly and said: "Aiqing has worked hard and made great achievements, and I will not forget it." The big and small affairs in the palace still depend on you, and I will appoint you as the palace envoy and be responsible for the affairs of the six palaces. The first emperor died, in accordance with the will of the first emperor, where Angelica was buried in the stone horse, Aiqing was responsible for the mausoleum. ”

The palace envoy is responsible for all matters in the harem, which is the most honorable official position of the internal official. And presiding over the project, it has always been fat, even if it is not too greedy, it can make a lot of money, fart and oil, Wang Jien thanked him, but did not show excessive joy.

Zhao Guangyi said again: "You are decent, literate and martial, and always be a messenger waiting for people, which is useless." After I ascended the throne, I always had to send troops to the Northern Expedition and expand my territory, don't you ...... After the completion of the mausoleum of the first emperor, I will let you go as a foreign official, temporarily serve as the assassin of Hebei Province, and follow me to conquer the world in the future, but you have to make military achievements, and the future is unlimited. ”

Wang Jien knelt down with emotion, and said with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the slave and maid obey the order, Your Majesty is tired all night, please rest the dragon body, and the slave and maid will retire." ”

Foreign officials and internal officials, completely different officials. Although the internal officials also have ranks, they are really not low, when it comes to the roots, they are just the eunuch leaders who wait for the emperor and concubines, but the foreign ministers are ......, and they want to open a government and build a mansion and be a parent. When I saw the emperor, I only called him a minister, and I didn't have to kneel for a big ceremony, how could I compare it to a 'slave maid' in the palace who did not distinguish between men and women?

Wang Jien's heart was full of joy, and he retreated easily.

The hall was silent, Zhao Guangyi frowned, and said to himself in disbelief: "Strange, what is he afraid of?" Back under my nose? ”

After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Guangyi gritted his teeth and smiled: "Do you think that under the public, I can't move you?" I don't believe it, you dare to talk nonsense in front of hundreds of officials, hum, the coming day is long, let's see! ”

At this time, the chamberlain announced, Song Qi and Jia Yan walked in, these people are Zhao Guangyi's henchmen in the palace, as soon as Zhao Guangyi won the throne, he sent them a waist card to enter and exit the palace, and his current team is still in Nanya, and these henchmen are not easy to be placed in the court as officials before they officially ascend the throne and sit in the palace, so they have to contact in this way.

As soon as they saw Zhao Guangyi, Song Qi and Jia Yan bowed: "Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, and you have become a great treasure." ”

Zhao Guangyi's face was full of spring breeze, and he personally left his seat to help them up, and Song Qi followed closely and said: "Official, Cheng Dexuan is dead." ”

Zhao Guangyi was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Yu Xi is dead?" How did he die? ”

Song Qi told the story of the discovery of Cheng Dexuan's dead body, Zhao Guangyi's face was cloudy, and Song Qi said again: "Official, for no reason, who would assassinate the court officials in the middle of the night?" Yu Xi is going to hunt down Yang Hao, according to what the minister saw, the murderer must be Yang Hao, Yang Hao is afraid that he has escaped at this time, one of the dignified Jiuqing, suddenly disappeared, isn't it ridiculous? The official family can make a clear decree and be wanted by the world, as long as his whereabouts are found, the minister has his own means to make him ...... unknowingly."

Zhao Guangyi said gloomily: "No need to look for it, Yang Hao is in the palace now." ”

Song Qi was taken aback and said in a lost voice: "What? ”

Zhao Guangyi said a little irritably: "He appeared under my nose in a big way, and I couldn't move him for a while." Leave him alone, if he dares to come back, I will not be afraid of him escaping. Now that I have ascended the throne, there are too many things to take care of, how can I have the mind to spend with him. ”

Jia Yan said: "What Your Majesty said is that the official family dominates the world with supreme, and the little Yang Hao is so reasonable. ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "The top priority is to stabilize the throne, consolidate the imperial power, and stabilize the hearts of the people in the world. I have something to worry about you, come, sit. ”

Song Qi and Jia Yan hurriedly said: "In front of the official family, how can there be a seat for the minister." ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled, still asked someone to move to Jindun, the two of them sat down with great gratitude, and the three of them discussed.

"The expeditionary army is stationed in place, and there is still some pacification to the generals in the army. If the official family ascends the throne and amnesty the world, the ministers will also be rewarded, and the generals of the Northern Expedition may wish to reward first, and the important generals should be rewarded from the party to peace of mind. ”

"I've got it. Today, Cao Bin attached the decree and ordered the three armies to stop and not move forward, which was just a temptation. Since Cao Bin was familiar with current affairs, and the privy councillor and deputy envoy were willing to obey my orders, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was under my control, but with this, the party had to think twice before entering the party. ”

"The official family, Luoyang, has already sent people overnight, and Zhao Xiang can't set off any storms. The third brother of the emperor and many royal mansions are also under close surveillance. In addition, there are the families of many Northern Expedition generals such as Dang Jin, who are also monitored every move, and it is difficult to fly. ”

"Good!"

"The grain and grass for transporting the Northern Expeditionary Army have been cut off, and when the King of Wei receives the holy decree, the army should know the news."

"Okay."

"At present, it is necessary to grant amnesty to the world, edict the subjects of the world, and the new emperor to ascend the throne. There is also a date ......"

"This ...... Chronological ...... Early, right? The era name should be counted from the year after the death of the first emperor......"

"Now there is still more than half a year to go, there are many dreams at night, it will be decided one day sooner, the year name, the emperor name, and the prince will be set as soon as possible, and the name will be correct, and the world will be decided."

“…… Good! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Yang Hao left the Vertical Arch Hall and limped straight to the mourning hall.

He and Zhao Guangyi's trick was to put them to death and then live. Has Cheng Dexuan been to Yang's house? Been there! He's not in the house? Absence!

But he was in front of Zhao Guangyi, insisting that he was at home, so why could Zhao Guangyi tolerate him? The new emperor was constantly arguing with a courtier, where did he go last night? It's not a wife who keeps an empty bed alone, and she is angry, why do you have to be more serious?

Yang Hao knew that he would never let go of himself anyway, and put on such a dead pig appearance that was not afraid of boiling water, but Zhao Guangyi was a little jealous, and he couldn't figure out what hole cards he had, so he was suspicious, so he didn't dare to start easily. He is one of the Jiuqing, what crime does Zhao Guangyi dare to kill him publicly? If you want to get covert...... He is a great Honglu, handling the funeral of the first emperor all day long, I am afraid that the emperor has not seen as many officials as he has seen in the past few days, and he is shaking in front of people all day long, who can start? What's more, he has to spend most of his time in the palace these days, and Zhao Guangyi will never dare to let him die in the palace to add some unbearable condiments to his enthronement.

As for the ...... outside the palace, before he went to court in the early morning, he had quietly seen the pig, and got in touch with the hidden pile of the Jihetang in Bianliang, and the heroes of the Bianhe Gang secretly helped each other, and there was the hidden power of the Jihetang throughout the three sects and nine streams, let them make good arrangements these days, as soon as he left the palace gate in the future, he would be like a fish entering the lake and sea, who could still find his traces.

In the main hall where the mourning hall was arranged, it was already plain white.

Zhao Kuangyin's coffin is at the end of the main hall, with incense cases and spirit tablets in front of it, and hundreds of civil and military officials worship in order, crying and sacrificing to the emperor under the guidance of the ceremonial officials.

Yang Hao ranked Jiuqing, second only to the three prime ministers, so he went straight to the front, knelt down behind the three prime ministers, worshipped, and then got up and walked to the side, all the officials of Honglu Temple surrounded them, Jiao Haitao and others reported on the matters they were responsible for, Yang Hao pointed out and arranged, and the officials of each department immediately went down separately to arrange the things at hand.

Yang Hao knelt down in front of the side, avoiding the sequence of civil and military officials, so that the officials of Honglu Temple could ask him for instructions at any time and arrange various etiquette for the funeral.

Yang Hao was crying Ling, while looking around, only to see that the expressions of the hundred officials in front of the spirit were very different, obviously for Zhao Kuangyin's sudden death, many people were not psychologically prepared, and it was inevitable that they would be a little at a loss when they met this big change in a hurry. Cao Bin, Tian Chongjin and other officials had even heavier faces, but no one dared to look around and accept them.

The new monarch has already worshipped, they are the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, the sheji of the Zhao family who supports the protection, and the people of the Zhao family who sit in the country, what else can they do except accept the reality?

Yang Hao turned his gaze to the front of the spirit again, and kneeling at the front of the spirit seat was naturally a pair of children of Queen Song and Zhao Kuangyin. Queen Song is filial, especially young, twenty people, beautiful as a flower, but a pair of eyes crying like a peach, at this moment she has cried so much that her voice is hoarse, she can't raise her voice, just keep wiping her tears.

Yang Hao couldn't help but feel sorry when he saw it, suddenly, he noticed that two eyes were staring at him, his heart couldn't help but froze, and he hurriedly fell down, as the hundred officials made a crying form, through the action of wiping tears, he covered his face with his sleeves, and quietly looked at that gaze, this look was stunned.

He thought that Zhao Guangyi's ears and eyes were paying attention to his every move, but when he looked up, he met the pair of eyes, but he was secretly surprised. That person turned out to be Princess Yongqing, she was wearing a linen white dress, and her green silk was also tied in the white silk, her delicate face was covered with tears, her nose was red from crying, but her tearful eyes were staring at him for a moment.

As soon as she met his gaze, Princess Yongqing immediately turned sideways slightly, and bowed down with the chanting of the salute officer, her mouth strained in front of her, Yang Hao looked in front of her, and couldn't help but be dazed for a while, Princess Yongqing raised her mouth again, Yang Hao thought blankly: "The one kneeling in front of her is Queen Song, what does she want to see for herself?" Could it be ...... That futon is not kneeling comfortably, and she wants me to change it? ”
