They don't know much about Zhao Zexun, but if they can be granted a throne and a fief, Liang Huanqing thinks that he must not be a mortal.

When Zhao Zexun entered Beijing before, it was more than ten years ago, and Liang Fengmian was still guarding the side at that time, so Liang Huanqing had never seen Zhao Zexun, let alone knew what kind of temper he was.

But Zhao Zexun used to be the same as Liang Fengmian, leading troops to garrison in Shuzhong Pass, there are many Nanban over there, it is the most dangerous and the most critical one of the customs clearance ports, Zhao Zexun is a guard for decades, and then the first emperor remembered his hard work, so he gave him the fief in Shuzhong, this honor, in the Celestial Empire or the first time, even if it is Liang Fengmian, who is brave and good at fighting, in the most prime of life, he was only recalled to Shangjing to give the house and add a knight.

From this point of view, when Zhao Zexun was younger, he had a more respected status than Liang Fengmian.

After Liang Huanqing returned to the palace, he asked Yiqi to find Zhao Zexun's information, and read it from beginning to end, so he was more sure of his thoughts.

Today's events are so troublesome, Qi Jingyang will not give up revenge so easily, of course, Liang Huanqing also thinks that if he can strike first, he will naturally do this.

But now there are too many factors involving Liang Huanqing, and the more people are in a high position, the more things they have to consider.

As soon as the enthronement ceremony is over, Liang Huanqing will become the queen of the Celestial Empire, which is an undoubted thing, that is to say, the life and death of the Celestial Empire are closely related to her, and she can't help but consider these things.

Instead of letting Qi Jingyang jump over the wall to find Zhao Zexun to take revenge on Liang Huanqing, Liang Huanqing thought of appeasing and wooing Zhao Zexun with righteousness and loyalty.

Although Zhao Peiyu's death has a great relationship with Liang Huanqing, Liang Huanqing believes that as long as Zhao Zexun knows the truth, he will definitely not have any other thoughts.

But the truth of the matter is that you have to let the right person say it at the right time, if you let Qi Jingyang say it first, if you don't do it well, it will reverse black and white, and then there will be another enemy in plain white, Liang Huanqing is already a doppelganger at this time, and it is difficult to deal with Zhao Zexun.

What's more, now that the Celestial Empire is stormy, internal and external troubles, although the battle was won at the beginning of the year, but the outbreak of the epidemic, coupled with the poor harvest, on the surface it still seems to be the country and the people, but it is already a golden jade and its external defeat, which is something that the officials of the Beijing court all know.

The internal worries of the Celestial Empire have to let them slowly adjust themselves, but for the invasion of other countries, Liang Huanqing has a way to avoid it, which is tantamount to letting Liang Fengmian and Zhao Zexun cooperate, in this way, just shocking foreign enemies can also avoid some unnecessary wars for the Celestial Empire.

Liang Lin sent troops to Shuzhong to invite Zhao Zexun, the emperor's funeral must not be able to catch up, but the new emperor ascended the throne, and it is understandable to invite Zhao Zexun, in the final analysis, he is also the old prince of the Celestial Empire.

Qi Bingyu's funeral was quickly held the next day, but due to the outbreak of the plague in Shangjing, Liang Huanqing specially ordered that the people should not be allowed to watch.

Qi Jingyang, Qi Jingqin, Qi Wangshu, and Liang Huanqing held the coffin in their hands, and they wanted to follow the coffin to the imperial tomb with a sad face.

The coffin bearer has been waiting at the Taihe Gate for a long time, and he has carried the coffin several times in front of the Taihe Gate earlier, even if there is a bowl of water on the coffin, until he walks to the imperial tomb, he may not be sprinkled.

The emperor's funeral is called a "murderous ceremony" and is as important as the enthronement, wedding, and birthday.

It was jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites, Luan Yiwei and the Department of Internal Affairs, and countless amounts of money were spent.

The emperor had to choose the address of the mausoleum before his death. The tombs of the emperors and concubines of the past dynasties were selected in the two places of Dongling and Xiling.

During their reign, they built their own "underground palace", and the cemetery was built for 35 years.

And this trip out of the palace, followed countless palace people, to escort the emperor's body to Tangling.

As for the Zigong Palace, it will use Yunnan's golden silk nanmu, and the freight cost will be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. After the coffin is made, it is painted with forty-nine coats of lacquer.

After the emperor died, he had to choose an auspicious time to be buried, which was the most important time for Mei Guifei Niangniang and Liang Huanqing, Shen Tuchen was not present, and the head of the Tai Hospital and the old man were buried, but fortunately, nothing suspicious was found.

Xia Rongxin and Liang Huanqing glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief to each other.

After the burial, ceremonies and condolence activities are held continuously. In Deshengmen, the barman will also play the bar, according to the scale and requirements of the official funeral, first carry a piece of Dulong wood with the same weight as the coffin, about 10,000 catties, put a bowl of water on it, and practice until the water can not be spilled when walking. When performing the bar, it is necessary to step up the construction and rush to repair the royal road to the mausoleum.

On the day of the spirit, seventy-two people were used to carry the coffin out of the Taihe Gate, and the coffin was supported by the prince, but because Qi Bingyu did not have many heirs, Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing also followed.

At this time, the royal palace poured out, according to the system of the Heavenly Dynasty, walking in the forefront were sixty-two bannermen, holding high the banner umbrella of the people; Then there was the Emperor's guard of honor, numbering 1,628 people, who carried all kinds of weapons, flags, and all kinds of paper or silk made of "burning alive", which was mighty and very majestic.

The bearer of the coffin, dressed in filial piety clothes, had 128 people in each shift, and they were carried in three shifts in turn.

Behind the coffin were the heavily armed royal soldiers, and then the ranks of civil and military officials, imperial relatives and clansmen, and the sedan chairs continued.

In the funeral procession, there are also a large number of monks, Taoist priests, nuns, Taoist aunts and lamas, who are dressed in Dharma robes, holding law enforcement instruments, and constantly playing and chanting.

The whole funeral procession is more than ten miles long, hundreds of miles along the way from Shangjing to the imperial tomb, and the first section of the distance should also set up a reed hall for the rest of the spirit and the funeral procession. This kind of reed hall is also a jade rank golden tile, Zhu Bi is intertwined, very gorgeous.

is the monarch above 10,000 people, and after entering the earth, he can only turn into nothingness, Liang Huanqing looked at the coffin into the mausoleum, for some reason, tears also flowed out, she had never seen this kind of scene, but from this she thought of her mother-

When they were in Biansai, Yang Suying's death was only a thin coffin, and after a few tosses, they didn't even remember where Yang Suying was buried.

When the decree arrived in Shangjing, he had to set up a mound in the general's mansion and worship at Qingming on the annual sacrifice day...

"Kneel-" After the coffin was sent to the imperial tomb, the eunuchs and palace maids standing next to the imperial tomb waved the banner spirit in their hands, and the yellow paper was scattered, He Sheng shouted, and his voice was sad and desolate.

Everyone in the entourage knelt down, and if they looked at it at that time, Donglin was all white.

"Your Majesty—" Even though a few days had passed, Xia Rongxin still had difficulty accepting this fact, and after seeing Qi Bingyu's imperial mausoleum closed, she couldn't help crying.

Qi Wangshu and Liang Huanqing knelt beside Concubine Mei, they stepped forward to appease her, and the palace concubine behind them also cried because of this.

Liang Huanqing looked at Qi Jingyang and Qi Jingqin, who were kneeling side by side in front of them and crying silently, no matter how much estrangement there had been between them, they were still in charge of the funeral of the first emperor like brothers.

In the past few days of the mortuary in Shentai, Qi Jingyang and Qi Jingqin have never made trouble, and those things in front of Taihe, Liang Huanqing didn't say it, Qi Jingyang didn't say it, and they all acted as if nothing had happened for the time being.

The people were a little surprised by the emperor's death, but many people had already thought that since they had not been in the early court for several days, even if there was no news in the palace, many people who had nothing to do at home because of the plague had already thought that they might have to change the dynasty.

The people4 lamented that this year was not peaceful, and since the beginning of the war, the peace and security of the country and the people have been empty talk, and the peace they have never had has been sinking in the setbacks of the years.

The death of the emperor has nothing to do with them, but it has a great relationship, at least the people of Shangjing are very sensitive to all this, living at the foot of the imperial city, accompanying the prosperity of the royal family, and fate is closely related to it.

Liang Huanqing looked at the slowly closing imperial mausoleum, listening to the crying in his ears, and suddenly felt some pressure in his heart, Bingyu Year finally came to an end, and the next dynasty will depend on their generation.

But what do they do with such a mess?

＊

After returning from the imperial mausoleum, everyone did not speak, how to go back is how to come back, along the way, everyone was only black and white, all of them bowed their heads and were silent, and their hearts were very heavy.

Qi Jingqin is now the crown prince, and he will be the prince in a few days, and the Ministry of Rites, Luan Yiwei, and the Internal Affairs Office are now busy with the emperor's funeral, and they will start the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor again.

After Qi Jingqin returned to the palace, he officially entered the Qinzheng Palace, he sat on the empty hall, feeling uncomfortable, he was still wearing the prince's court clothes, and now he has not officially ascended the throne, he can't wear a dragon robe, and the table in front of him is still those twists and turns, but since then there is another gold seal in front of him.

Qi Jingqin took this golden seal and looked it up and down, and kept holding it in his hand to play with it.

Among the people who serve in the Qinzheng Palace, there are still He Sheng and He Yu, He Sheng is unwilling to retire in the palace, but he is unwilling to go out of the palace, thinking about the day when the oil runs out in the palace and the lamp is dry, but the main thing is He Yu, he will be the one who will accompany Qi Jingqin in the future.

Qi Jingqin was not trained as a prince since he was a child, so there was no eunuch as intimate as Kong Yan around Qi Jingyang, and Qi Qi heard that he was once the son of Jiangmen, but later something happened, and Qi Qi was a sparring partner for the young masters of various families in Wusi, but the first sparring partner was the prince Qi Jingqin, and from now on, he will be by his side.

Qi Jingqin is now sitting in this position, it is good to have a reputation by his side, he thinks that after he ascends the throne, he will give Yiqi an official position, so that he can be a decent general.

Qi Jingqin looked at the golden seal in his hand, and the power of the world was in his hands.

All the people in the Qinzheng Hall were repelled by him, leaving him alone to sit in the Qinzheng Hall to feel the boundless power and endless loneliness......

"His Royal Highness the Prince." He Yu didn't know when he appeared at the door, and was about to come in with a stack of brochures, but vaguely saw Qi Jingqin being distracted through the curtain, so he didn't know whether to go in and disturb, "Can the slave come in?" ”

After Qi Jingqin heard the voice, he put down the golden seal, then pinched his eyebrows to refresh himself, and said, "Come in." ”

After He Yu heard this, he nodded, and came in with the stack of booklets: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the list of amnesties at the enthronement ceremony, you can take a look." ”

Historically, when the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor often pardoned the prisoners in the name of righteousness.

When the emperor ascended the throne and established a new empress, or in the event of a major natural disaster, an amnesty was often issued.

Generally, when the new emperor ascends the throne or there is a major celebration in the palace, a group of criminals are usually pardoned, and this behavior is called amnesty. "Historical Records: Filial Piety and Martial Piety" contains: "Amnesty the world, the god of Shou Palace." The most noble person of the Divine Monarch is Taiyi, and his subordinates are all from it. ”

Amnesty is a type of pardon in which all offenders within a certain range are pardoned.

The effect of amnesty is significant, not only in exempting the execution of the penalty, but also in extinguishing the crime. The criminal liability of a person who has been granted amnesty is completely extinguished. where it has not been prosecuted, it is not to be prosecuted; where the prosecution has already been pursued, the prosecution shall be withdrawn; Where a crime or sentence has already been declared, the declaration is null and void.

The extended meaning of "universal amnesty" is to not blame the past, no longer pursue the problems of the past, give a new chance to start anew, and give countless desperate people a chance to regain their chances of survival.

The grace of amnesty can have a powerful effect that shocks people's hearts. He can make desperate people have hope, survive in hope, and the only spiritual power in life is hope, so as to respect the superior person more, which is also one of the means for the royal family to win over the hearts of the people and appease the people.

And this year, when the new emperor ascended the throne and there was a catastrophe, an amnesty should have been carried out a long time ago and the prison was emptied, which was also a means to reduce the expenses of the imperial court, but because of some things, it was not implemented for a long time.

The enthronement ceremony is always going to be carried out, and it is also taking advantage of this time to grant amnesty to the world.

Qi Jingqin took the booklet and looked through it, these lists were provided by the Criminal Department, and they were also under the control of the Criminal Department, but Qi Jingqin, as the person in power, needed to ask about everything.

Qi Jingqin looked at it roughly, and he didn't know who the names on these lists were, so he could only glance at them.

Just as he was about to let go of the criminal department, he suddenly saw a familiar name......

"Lu Huiling? She's in there too? Qi Jingqin was a little surprised, he could still see this name, among a bunch of unfamiliar names, he was still a little surprised to see a familiar name.

He Yu glanced at it, then lowered his head and arched his hand and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, when you went to the border with the general, this Lu Huiling danced on the drum platform at the expedition ceremony, and was accepted by the first emperor as a female official, and somehow became the Ming Concubine Niangniang, and later when she Chinese New Year's Eve the feast, she murdered the Crown Princess Niangniang, and then ......."

"Okay, this palace knows all this, but why is she still alive?" was broadcast like this, Qi Jingqin knew.

At that time, he was not in Shangjing, but he also heard that the Lu family had all been destroyed, why was there only one Lu Huiling left?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, Lu Huiling dressed up a little, and she looks like Queen Mingxian, and the first emperor remembers the old love...... So...... And he sent her to Ningguta, and people have always lived in madness. He Yu said.

Qi Jingqin nodded, tapped his finger on the table, and said, "You send this list to the crown princess, and you have to let her decide Lu Huiling's affairs." ”
