The emperor's funeral took place as scheduled.

On this day, the sky was cloudy, and the whole palace was covered with mourning flags, motionless on a dreary summer day. The incense and chanting in the Sanqing Hall are sung, and the Sanqing bell rings in the distance, calming people's minds.

The royal family and courtiers led by Shen Yan all wore white filial piety clothes and bowed.

Under the loud eulogy of the ministers, the incense accompanied by the cry of the whole sky finally sent the emperor's coffin out.

The emperor's tomb is outside the city of Chang'an.

The honor guard was huge all the way, and the people crying on the side of the road didn't know who they were crying for.

The huge funeral was extremely glorious, and Shen Yan put down the pen and corrected it on the fold and handed it to Wang Huanzhi, saying, "What do you think of this? ”

After the funeral, everything was in order. As Shen Yan guessed, although Wang Huanzhi stood in her camp, he held on to power.

She is nominally in charge of the government, but in fact she is still the regent of Wang Huanzhi.

However, Wang Huanzhi will also take some excerpts and hand them in to Shen Yan for correction, and guide him by the way.

Shen Yan knew how many catties and taels she had, she had never been involved in the government at all, even if Wang Huanzhi was willing to give power, she would not have the courage to give an order.

"Not bad. It seems simple to choose a title for the first emperor, but it is your first will to show your face in front of the world. ”

The two were not discussing anything else at this time, it was the title of the first emperor. It is said that death is like life, even if the emperor dies, he is still the emperor.

This title is even more carefully selected. The people in the Ministry of Rites also tried their best to choose a title.

"Then I am called."

Shen Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and took out his own seal and stamped it on the fold. The red ink is particularly striking on the white gold-sprinkled rice paper.

"Just ask the ministers of Bingbi to send them to Zhongshu Province in a while."

Wang Huanzhi nodded in agreement.

After a few days of running-in, the two handled the government more easily. I have to say that although Shen Yan has never been involved in court affairs, she is extremely talented and often understands everything.

"Speaking of which, the fold of the household department has not been handed over yet?"

Shen Yan thought of the previous household department's matter about the grain tax reduction in Suzhou and asked.

She had given Tobe time at the time, but now there is no news.

"I've taken care of this matter. Suzhou collects grain taxes as usual, but a number of projects have been allocated from the Ministry of Industry, and workers must be recruited to build these projects. ”

Wang Huanzhi said it carefully, Shen Yan nodded his head and said, "This method is good." It can be regarded as a complete Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Household and Suzhou. The people have work to do and food to take, so naturally there will be no big problem. The household department has kept so much money, and now he must be crazy with joy. ”

Seeing that Shen Yan had figured out the level of this matter at once, Wang Huanzhi said with relief: "There are many families in the south, you said that it was really rash to reduce taxes. Fortunately, you just want to scam the people in the household. ”

Shen Yan held his head in his hand and said lazily: "I was also taken aback when I saw you." ”

"Yes."

Wang Huanzhi replied unabashedly.

"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating. I've just come to power, and whatever I do will be targeted or criticized. Instead of being passive, it is better to be proactive. ”

Shen Yan said proudly.

"You're right, but it's a bit rash. If you want to give anyone you want to beat in the future, remember to let me know in advance. ”

The people of the six departments did not have the slightest reverence for the eldest princess who was temporarily in power, and they were all staring at Concubine Chen's stomach.

After Shen Yan dealt with the government affairs, he walked slowly in the Taiye Pond Garden.

Since the funeral of the first emperor, the first queen invited herself to live in the Taoist temple outside Chang'an City to pray for the first emperor's filial piety.

The prime minister almost fainted when he heard her decision. Even if the eldest princess or the future emperor succeeds to the throne, she is the honorable hostess of Daming Palace, how can she leave?

But the queen had already made up her mind, and Shen Yan had no choice but to crown the first queen as Jingshu Yuanshi, don't live in Baiyun Temple, and give a big enough scene.

As soon as the queen left, only Concubine Xian, Concubine Chen, Concubine Li and Lin Wanrong were left in the harem.

It's a strange feeling that the flowering period blooms and then fails.

Shen Yan stood on the edge of the Taiye Pool and looked at the carved beams and paintings in front of him, the nine-curved corridor, the rippling blue waves, and he felt a sigh of emotion in his heart.

When she first arrived, she never imagined that there would be such a day.

This liquid pool has an inexplicable coolness under the warm summer breeze, and the cool water vapor on the face is refreshing.

It was here that Shen Yan and Concubine Chen first met. She didn't know why she jumped into the lake, but Shen Yan jumped down to save her.

At that time, Xu Yu was only Xu Zhaoyi, she favored the harem, pampered and domineering, like a warm and open peony, showing off her beauty.

I want to dump the world under my skirt.

Thinking about the past, Shen Yan slowly arrived at the Feiling Palace.

Concubine Chen has been happy since she was pregnant, and since the death of the first emperor, she has eaten less and vomited more.

"How much did the mother eat today?"

Shen Yan looked at her obviously thin face and lowered his face and asked.

Xin'er snorted twice, glanced at Concubine Chen, and didn't speak.

"Don't scare them."

Concubine Chen got up and said weakly after vomiting, she had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and the blood on her face was pale in blood, even at this time, she was weak to speak.

Shen Yan hurriedly sat beside her and looked at her, and said with some distress: "Why are you so bad?" ”

"I'm the first child, so naturally I'm very happy."

Concubine Chen raised her eyes lightly and said lightly, her hand on her stomach.

"Even if you don't like it, you have a head, why don't you call the imperial doctor to come and take a look."

Shen Yan looked at her thin face with some concern. These days, for the emperor's funeral, Concubine Chen has worked hard, sad and tormented, but I am afraid that it will not be good for the child.

"Good. I'll find a doctor. ”

Concubine Chen replied lazily with her head propped up. She was now more and more lazy, and her body exuded a soft attachment.

"You take care of the baby, and tell me directly if you need anything. I'll hang two medical ladies for you in a while and take care of your daily diet. ”

Shen Yan said with a smile, she watched Concubine Chen drink the decoction and lie down obediently, and then left the Feiling Palace.

This child is the only son of the first emperor and the only bloodline of the royal family, and nothing can happen!

"Take care of Concubine Chen, if there are three long and two short, you can't afford it."

Shen Yan stood on the jade steps in front of the hall with his sleeves folded and said lightly.

"The slave must serve Concubine Chen with all her heart."

Hearing the chorus of responses, Shen Yan nodded and turned to leave, and Xiaoxing and Feng Fang hurriedly followed.

Her identity is different now, in addition to personal female officials like Xiaoxing and Feng Fang, there are eight maids and ministers behind her.

Walking on the long palace road, Shen Yan indifferently looked at a group of birds that were startled behind the phoenix feathers in the eaves of the sky, fluttering their wings, and flying in groups over this cold palace.

She suddenly remembered that the day she first entered the palace, it was also such a bright sunshine. At that time, Shen Yan was naïve and casual, and he didn't know that this place was a man-eating demon cave.

She stumbled into here, knowing nothing, relying on a mouth to turn around.
