Chapter 45: Changing Heavens

The prince was shocked and excited, and asked respectfully, "Which concubine does the father want to drive?" ”

Emperor Renwu turned to look in the direction of the dragon bed, and said a name very lightly.

At this time, Pu Yangxu came in a hurry, covered with cold sweat on his face, the emperor's condition became worse day by day after the winter, he went to audit the necessary political affairs, and even the classes were stopped, how could he have thought that the emperor would wake up today.

As soon as he saw Emperor Renwu, who had clear eyes and a calm expression, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even notice that the prince walked out, so he just walked to the side of the dragon bed and knelt down, "Ah Weng......"

Emperor Renwu stretched out his hand and was held tightly by him, Pu Yangxu tried hard to say something, but he choked when he opened his mouth.

"I'm leaving."

Pu Yangxu's pent-up emotions couldn't be controlled in an instant, and he cried out all of a sudden, "No...... Don't, Avong, don't. ”

No matter how smart and stable he is in the eyes of outsiders, he has never grown up in front of the emperor, he is only twenty-two years old, he has never experienced setbacks, and the biggest grievance of growing up is also to fight with his uncle for a woman, and he has never argued.

"Ah Xu, I have thought about passing the throne directly to you."

Emperor Renwu touched his head, and in his eyes was a complication that Pu Yangxu couldn't read: If you don't step out in your life, you can only be a king of success forever. If a generation of kings wants to leave their names in history, they must have made a difference, and they were reluctant to do so before, and they always wanted to teach you all the ways of being kings...... What can be taught is always limited, and the only way to go is to walk yourself.

"Ah Xu, I have paved a long way for you, and I have left the best auxiliaries, but this world depends on you to sit firmly after all."

"I transferred Ah Cong out of the capital and ordered him to enter the capital without a show, not because I was afraid that he would have thoughts about the throne."

Pu Yangxu naturally knew that King Cong was thousands of miles away, and he was cut off from the way to die for Emperor Renwu in order to protect him.

"Ah Xu, he will be the best general of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and he will be your greatest help, you have to believe in Ah Weng." Emperor Renwu took a breath, and this sentence was very heavy, "You are still too young now, you can't understand what Ah Weng thinks, you feel wronged, wait a few years...... You'll get the idea. ”

Pu Yangxu knew that he was talking about the disagreement between his uncle and nephew.

Seeing that his crying body trembled, Emperor Renwu also shed tears and instructed him: "But after all, it is also your uncle." ”

Pu Yangxu nodded in the end, responded to this matter, and then asked him crying: "Ah Weng, what do you want your grandson to do?" ”

He didn't think about what the world was like at all, he just wanted to fulfill Emperor Renwu's wish in the last little time.

Emperor Renwu looked at him in a daze, and at the last thought of life and death, he was also like thousands of sentient beings, eager to live a little longer.

Just like after the midnight terror in the past few years, I began to fear death, and began to want to show my desire to control by killing and killing, so as to resist the increasingly weak body.

"Aung can't see you as a father anymore." Emperor Renwu was a little regretful, his breath dragged on long and slow, but his eyes were still reluctant to open, "Ah Xu, ......"

Pu Yangxu desperately grabbed his hand, "Ah Weng ......"

"Da Zhou...... I'll leave it to you. ”

This winter in the capital was not calm from the beginning, and when this unrest spread to Shen Tingnian, he had already heard the death knell ringing.

After that, the entire palace was like a dark cloud pressing on the top, so that people could not breathe normally, as if it had been rehearsed, and in an instant, the huge palace was replaced by a white color.

With the imperial palace as a point, it spread, and every household in the capital was also hung white, and then it was outside Beijing...... Countless fast horses galloped out of Beijing and began to report the funeral everywhere, and soon the Great Zhou State held the whole country to mourn, even the remote mountain cols were no exception.

Shen Tingnian didn't have a good night's sleep, and the crying and the death knell of all the temples inside and outside the capital occupied everyone's hearing, from morning to night, day after day.

The most difficult thing is to kneel on the meadow and cry all day long, the square of the weeping spirit is densely packed with kneeling, even the people who are infinitely sad in their hearts can cry after crying for more than ten days, they can't cry, but the mourning of the Son of Heaven is extraordinary, and it takes twenty-seven days to cry...... What's more, it's still the end of November, and there is no one who doesn't freeze and numb after kneeling for a long time, Kang Jian is like Shen Tingnian who is also sick, and he is about to fall down when he kneels with the sick body in the back, and he is supported by people left and right to continue to kneel, and he is dizzy and time-consuming if he can't cry.

During this period, there were also palace concubines who died of wind and cold due to crying and mourning, obviously their physical foundation was too weak on weekdays, and the suffering of these people with identity was far inferior to the palace people at the bottom, counting nine cold days and guarding all night, kneeling, and crying.

If it's difficult, you have to endure it, not all of them fake crying, there are also many people who sincerely grieve, and those concubines in Emperor Renwu's harem cry every day with broken liver and intestines, and their five bodies fall to the ground...... They cry when the sky falls, and they cry themselves, especially many new beauties in the past two years who have never even seen Emperor Renwu, and they will be buried in this deep palace for a lifetime with a false name.

There is also a group of people who are not even qualified to boil, that is, the concubines who were martyred, on the day of Emperor Renwu's death, the prince's edict was transmitted to their heads, and they fainted before they even had time to cry, and they woke up and were carried to the mourning hall of Emperor Renwu...... Crying and screaming, he was strangled by a white silk and left this world with infinite fear and despair.

Before they died, they didn't notice that there was a woman in the hall, old and haggard, kneeling next to the coffin, no matter how painful the screams did not alarm her, nor did they shed a single tear, when they broke their breath, and the people around them did not notice it.

But in the end, this only woman who was named and martyred by Emperor Renwu was martyred calmly and decently.

At the end of January, the funeral was completely over, and the new emperor's enthronement ceremony began, and many things followed, Shen Tingnian was sick three times intermittently, and it took a long time to slowly recover.

What really confuses others is the style of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Pu Yangxu, although Shen Tingnian is still a Jieyu as it is, but the Prince Jieyu and the Taisun Jieyu are very different, especially except for the Taisun Concubine who is the crown princess according to the regular register, the two Taisun side concubines are only registered as Chongyi and Rong, the original Taisun Concubine and Taisun Zhaoyi are the same as the prince's talents, not to mention the two Taisun beauties, and now they have become the prince's nobles.

This change did not attract much attention, just because the new queen who had just taken office used the hot mourning period to strictly prohibit women's sex, and the women who could live in the backyard of the East Palace were swept away by her, leaving only the rules and responsibilities not to be demons.

She was the crown princess for a longer period than the young palace maids, skilled in palace affairs, and experienced in means, and now she is sitting in the position of the lord of the harem, which is naturally better than before, and even the emperor is afraid of her on weekdays.

Everyone's eyes are focused on the status quo of the new harem, the prince's east palace is quiet, Pu Yangxu doesn't even press the palace to move, except for the state affairs can lead him into it, the side can't let the haze between his eyebrows dissipate, this period of national filial piety, no one is more attentive than him, three vegetarian meals, not into the backyard, and even don't smile until the officials are compassionate.
