"Your Majesty......"

With a cry, Queen Yan Yunqi was grief-stricken and almost fainted.

Grandpa Fei hurriedly protected her, holding back tears and said, "Niangniang must cheer up." Your Majesty is gone, now is not the time to be sad, Niangniang must not live up to Your Majesty's hard work! ”

Empress Yan Yunqi stretched out her hands and stroked Emperor Xiao Chengwen's cheeks.

"You see, Your Majesty is walking so peacefully as if he is asleep."

"Your Majesty has done everything he can to arrange everything. Mother, now ......"

"I know! Hongu can't patronize the sadness right now. ”

She wiped her tears, endured her grief, and continued: "Order someone to ring the death knell and announce the death of the Queen Mother first. Half an hour later, His Majesty's death will be announced. ”

Father-in-law Fei nodded heavily, "Don't worry, the entire palace is ours, no one dares to mess around in the palace, and no one dares to be unfavorable to Niangniang and His Royal Highness." After a while, the bell and drum sounded, and the courtiers entered the palace, and the mother was also needed to come forward to preside over the overall situation. Niangniang prepares early, and must fight the first battle. ”

She said "um", "I don't have to worry about you doing things." Go get busy, I'm watching here, Your Majesty is fine. ”

"Then, the old slave will deal with the funeral of the Queen Mother first, and then send someone to invite the mother."

Father-in-law Fei was busy dealing with the follow-up.

Empress Yan Yunqi is still by the side of Emperor Xiao Chengwen.

It's just that he has stopped breathing.

She leaned on his shoulder, weeping, and said: "You go, leave me alone to face the wolf-like courtiers, and face this mess in the world, you are so ruthless."

Why can't you cherish your body more and live a few more years? Brother Yan hasn't grown up yet, and his daughter is also at an age that he doesn't understand, how can you bear to leave our mother and son behind.

Do you know that now I am so flustered and terrified! I'm afraid that I won't be the queen mother in your mind, I'm afraid of living up to your expectations, I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect my two children, and I'm even more afraid of becoming a sinner of Dawei. What do you want me to do? ”

She cried uncontrollably.

At this moment, she deeply realized that she had lost the most important support in this life and the backbone of her life.

It's like the sky is falling, and my heart is half empty.

The remaining half is helpless and strong.

Life is too difficult!

Especially in her position, it's really too difficult.

In the distance, a bell rang out.

One after the other......

announced the news of the death of Empress Dowager Tao.

Soon, the courtiers will enter the palace to pay respects, and the peace of the palace will be broken in the blink of an eye.

She wiped away her tears, she had to cheer up, she couldn't be underestimated, and she couldn't live up to the emperor's wishes.

"Someone! Someone! ”

One after another, frightened.

When the palace people heard the movement, they came out one after another.

She said with a sad face: "Your Majesty has gone and informed the Shaofu to prepare for the funeral." Go and call the princess and her highness and let them see your majesty one last time. Command the people to set up the mourning hall immediately......"

One by one, he was instructed one by one.

The palace people who originally learned of the emperor's death and seemed flustered, under her influence, gradually calmed down.

They do their part and are well organized.

The princess and the prince were invited, and when they saw their deceased father, the siblings fell to their knees and wept bitterly.

They are still children, but they understand the meaning of death early.

"Queen Mother, my father is gone, but my father is gone. What are we going to do? ”

Princess Jianing threw herself into Queen Yan Yunqi's arms and cried.

The prince Xiao Yan even cried: "I want my father to wake up, I want my father to wake up!" Queen Mother, why did the father refuse to wake up, was the son doing something wrong? ”

The queen hugged the child and sobbed, "Good boy, you have done nothing wrong. My father is gone, and he has gone to a far, far away place to see his ancestors and ancestors, and to ......"

She couldn't stop crying.

A family of three hugged each other and cried.

Once again, the death knell rang over the city of Jianzhou.

Listening to the disturbing bell, the courtiers and the common people were all eyelids jumped, and they had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, silently counting the bells, it was the death knell of the emperor's death.

The Queen Mother went!

Only half an hour had passed, and His Majesty had gone with him.

In one day, the Great Wei Empire lost the Queen Mother and His Majesty, which is the misfortune of the country!

The courtiers and wives changed into court clothes one after another and set off into the palace.

It's the queen mother's funeral again, and it's the emperor's posthumous affairs, and I'm afraid I'm going to be so busy that my feet don't touch the ground.

The three auxiliary ministers all rushed to the palace as soon as possible.

They first confirmed the safety of the empress and the prince.

The prince is the only seedling, and nothing can happen.

Master Cui Zhi Cui, as the head of the hundred officials, was the first to step forward to persuade Queen Yan Yunqi.

"Take care! His Majesty passed away, and the whole world mourned. The edict left by His Majesty, according to the meaning of the mother, should it be announced now, or should it be another time? ”

Yan Yunqi wiped away her tears and asked, "Have all the officials arrived?" If all the people are there, read them together. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. ”

"The mother has a point. The hundred officials have basically arrived, and after a stick of incense, the old minister will take out His Majesty's edict together with other adults. ”

"There's Lord Lautre, everything is up to you. Your Majesty's Aftermath ......"

"Rest assured, the aftermath of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, the Ministry of Rites and the Shaofu will definitely handle it properly. Guarantee that there is no mistake or omission. ”

"This palace believes in you!"

……

All the officials are here.

Grandpa Fei showed up, took out the key, and took out the edict.

Everything has already been arranged.

Now it is just a matter of going through the procedure to ensure that each will is procedurally legal and reasonable, and that the content of the will is confirmed.

The prince Xiao Yan inherited the throne, and the queen Yan Yunqi was canonized as the Empress Dowager Duanmin, who was the regent Empress Dowager.

Three Auxiliary Ministers......

Even the Empress Dowager Tao's posthumous nickname made arrangements.

The Ministry of Rites determined the time for the new emperor to ascend the throne for the first time, and three days later, the auspicious day of the zodiac, suitable for ascending the throne and becoming the emperor.

All kinds of seals, the emperor's seal, and the jade seal of the country were handed over to Yan Yunqi, the Empress Dowager of Duanmin.

Even if some people question why Empress Dowager Tao and the emperor died on the same day and half an hour apart, it is too much of a coincidence.

There were even people who wanted to ask the imperial doctor to come forward and ask about the cause of death of the two.

All this was easily resolved by the three auxiliary ministers.

They used stern words and solemn expressions, "Your Majesty passed away, not only did you not have the slightest grief, but you also questioned the cause of death of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty?" What do you want to do? Do you want to provoke infighting? Could it be that you dare to insist on the truth of the holy decree in the future? Ridiculous! ”

"It's ridiculous, it's just a big rebellion!"

"Do you still have a monarch in your heart?"

"Your Majesty has passed away, and the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, if you still have a conscience, you should think carefully about how to assist the new emperor."

The three auxiliary ministers, as soon as you say a word to me, you will put down the courtiers who raised questions.

Since the three of them have expressed their positions, the opinions of the other courtiers are no longer important.

Empress Dowager Tao and the emperor passed away half an hour apart, of course, there are strange and suspicious, and the coincidence is so coincidental that people have to be suspicious.

What?

Do you really want to accuse the emperor of killing his mother? Let the emperor bear the infamy of the ages?

If you really want to pierce this layer of window paper, even if Xiao Chengwen dies thousands of years after his death, he will be pulled out and whipped to the corpse.

These courtiers will not bear infamy, and they will not be whipped after death.

The Son of Heaven is not at fault, and all faults are courtiers.

Your Majesty is in danger, maybe the death of Empress Dowager Tao is really strange.

But, at least when their courtiers were still standing in the court, no one was allowed to dig out this bad account, let alone pierce the window paper.

This idea, from the day when the emperor's life was confirmed, Ling Changzhi, Shi Wen, and Cui Zhi had a tacit understanding.

No one opened their mouths to mention it, not even the Empress Dowager Tao, just a look, they are all characters who have become essences, and they naturally understand the meaning.

What His Majesty did, they watched silently, did not express any opinions, let alone stand up and accuse, nor did they obstruct, nor did they become accomplices......

Don't know anything.

Empress Dowager Tao died, which is reasonable and not surprising at all.

If the emperor wants to ensure the interests of his wife and children, Empress Dowager Tao must die.

It's just that the emperor's determination and action are admirable!

In all dynasties, emperors like Xiao Chengwen dared to kill their mothers, basically not.

It's usually boiled.

See who survives whom.

Ay!

It's just a blame, Emperor Xiao Chengwen's life expectancy is limited, and Empress Dowager Tao's life is too hard, which has caused everything today.

In the hearts of the three of them, they actually understood that the question of Empress Dowager Tao's death would be turned out sooner or later.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen's charge of killing his mother is not surprising, and it is also a certainty.

This case was either turned over by the courtiers of the current dynasty or by later generations.

But......

No matter who finds out about this matter, all in all, the three of them will do their best to prevent this from happening one day.

It is a day to be able to stop a day, and a year is a year to be stopped.

Therefore, today, the three of them tacitly suppressed everyone and did not allow anyone to raise any questions.

Any voice of doubt must be stifled in the cradle.

……

Empress Dowager Tao and Emperor Xiao Chengwen, the mother and son of the rival family, were buried before and after.

The mourning halls are also next to each other.

There were two funerals in the palace at once, one was the queen mother and the other was the emperor.

Fei Gong took care of everything on his behalf, and then went to wake the emperor's spirit.

He told the Empress Dowager Yan Yunqi of Duanmin, "Don't worry, when Your Majesty's funeral is over, the old slave will leave the palace and never show up in front of anyone again." If the mother is worried about the old slave's bad things, the old slave will choose the right time to end himself. All in all, the old slave will not cause the slightest trouble to the mother and the little emperor. ”

"Your Majesty wants you to live!" She said solemnly: "You are a meritorious hero, and Your Majesty never treats meritorious heroes badly. You want to live! ”

"The old slave is a stain on His Majesty, and it is also a handle, which may be turned out at any time. His Majesty let the old slave live, and that was because he couldn't bear it. In the same way, the old slave couldn't bear to ruin His Majesty's reputation in order to steal his life. The old slave has already made a decision, and the mother doesn't need to persuade him anymore. ”

Father-in-law Fei's attitude was extremely resolute.

As early as when he planned to kill Empress Dowager Tao, he already had a will to die.

Just wait for the funeral to be completed and see the little prince proclaim himself emperor, he can turn his eyes away and leave calmly.
