Wei Zhaohua shook his head helplessly, shuttled through the crowd to find Su Chengbi, and stood next to Su Chengbi. Su Chengbi was taken aback by Wei Zhaohua and whispered, "Why are you here?" Isn't it for you to take it with you at home? ”

Wei Zhaohua helped Su Chengbi wipe the tears on his face, and said softly, "I'm fine, mother, have you seen your uncle and cousin?" ”

Su Chengbi shook his head, "They have been living in the training ground all the time, and they don't even go back to the Su family, so how do I know where they are." But such a national funeral, according to reason, should also come back at this time! ”

When Wei Zhaohua heard Su Chengbi's words, he looked for Su Chengtuo and Su Qinfeng everywhere, and sure enough, the two of them did not come back.

Wei Zhaohua frowned unhappily, now the funeral has not started, if it starts, the queen will make trouble, and Shen Cuobai's ascension to the throne will really be hindered by something.

Thinking like this, the queen came to the Taiji Hall in a group of eunuchs and palace maids. The queen wore a white plain dress today, and her eyebrows were a little haggard, but she still couldn't stop the majesty in her eyes.

"See the queen mother, the queen mother thousand years old thousand years old."

Under the gaze of everyone, the queen slowly walked to Shen Cuobai's side, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the time is almost there, isn't it time for the funeral to start." ”

Shen Cuobai raised his head and looked at the queen for a long time before standing up with the support of the guards next to him. Cheng An's eyes were already swollen on the side, but he was still helping Shen Cuobai prepare for the funeral.

The bell rang, and everyone knelt down together and bowed deeply to the emperor's coffin.

When the ceremonial officer read out a large number of words praising the old emperor, the people kneeling on the ground wept loudly in unison, and the cry shook the sky.

Wei Zhaohua also had mixed feelings in her heart, although the intersection between her and the old emperor was not deep, but the old emperor was also a better one of her fathers. Compared with Wei Qingshan, Wei Zhaohua respected the old emperor more.

Then there was the chanting of the monks, dozens of monks sat around the coffin of the old emperor, knocked on the wooden fish, and recited the Buddhist scriptures in their mouths.

Wei Zhaohua looked at the coffin, just one layer apart, it was already two worlds. Wei Zhaohua looked at Shen Cuobai on the high platform, Your Majesty, this prosperous world, handed over to Shen Cuobai, will definitely not disappoint you.

By the time the heavy ritual was over, everyone's kneeling legs were numb. When she thought she could stand up, the queen opened her mouth leisurely.

"This funeral has ended, I don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who presides over the power, will bury the emperor?"

Shen Cuobai didn't speak, but Cheng An opened his mouth first, "Back to the queen's mother, when the first emperor was alive, he once mentioned that he would be buried with Queen Ziyu in the Qingping Mausoleum. ”

"No way!" The queen vetoed, "The emperor is the son of heaven in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, how can he be buried in the wilderness, naturally he will enter the imperial mausoleum and be worshiped by future generations!" ”

"Where the father wants to be buried, the queen mother should be very clear. The father is still watching here, so the queen mother should not quarrel anymore and make the father worry. Shen Cuobai said coldly, in the face of the queen's difficulties, he has always been comfortable coping.

empress

sneered, "Hmph, where the emperor is buried can be up to you, but the rest of the matter has to be up to me." ”

Everyone looked at the queen puzzled, His Royal Highness the Prince's biological mother, Empress Ziyu, was buried in the Qingping Mausoleum, and the emperor's infatuation with Empress Ziyu for many years was also visible to everyone, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally wanted to let his biological father and mother be buried together. But if that's the case, you have to listen to the queen in the future? So the accession to the throne can be regarded as a matter of the future, right?

"Foolish dreams!" Shen Cuobai replied coldly.

The queen was not flustered at all, and said to everyone below, "This palace is the main palace of the first emperor, the mother of Eastern Qi, in charge of many affairs, and has been by the emperor's side for twenty years. Today, the palace is going to bury the emperor in the imperial mausoleum, who dares to have an opinion! ”

Everyone sighed for a while, and the most difficult thing to guess was the matter of the heavenly family. I don't know what is true and what is false. The crowd could only kneel on the ground and shout, "The minister is terrified." "The concubine is terrified."

"The world is big, respect the jade seal, respect the phoenix seal! When the emperor died, he did not leave a testament. Could it be that at this time, Bengong can't even do enough to speak? The queen shouted on the high platform, and her voice faintly echoed, which made people listen a little more solemnly. The maid beside the queen was holding the phoenix seal high.

When the people heard this, they hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "The minister does not dare." "The concubine doesn't dare."

The queen looked at Shen Cuobai and smiled slightly, walked to Shen Cuobai's side lightly, attached it to Shen Cuobai's ear, and said, "This palace is accurate, and there is no edict from the emperor at all." ”

Shen Cuobai's face turned a little pale, and his heart was even more uneasy. There is indeed no whereabouts of the edict, and the phoenix seal is here, and there is no way to know where the old emperor of the jade seal is placed, so don't you really have to listen to the queen according to what the queen said?

Wei Zhaohua knelt beside the crowd, and the token in his sleeve was accidentally shaken out, and it fell to the ground with a "dang". Xuanyi turned around and saw the token, and looked at Wei Zhaohua with wide eyes.

"You!" Xuanyi hurriedly covered her mouth, and the queen and Shen Cuobai on the high platform were still in a stalemate. Xuanyi quietly moved to Wei Zhaohua's side, "Do you want to save the imperial brother!" ”

Wei Zhaohua couldn't react a little when he saw Xuanyi's appearance, but he still nodded.

Xuanyi hurriedly stuffed the token from the ground into Wei Zhaohua's hand, "This token is three points more valuable than the phoenix seal in the queen's hand, as long as you say that what you say is what the emperor means, no one will say anything!" ”

Wei Zhaohua heard Xuanyi's words, although he was a little nervous, but he also knew the meaning of Xuanyi's words very well. Wei Zhaohua got up from the ground with the token, and the queen was about to say something to the people in the audience, when she saw the token in Wei Zhaohua's hand, she pointed at Wei Zhaohua and was speechless for a long time.

"The courtiers are fortunate to have the first emperor to reward the token, and the first emperor will order His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne as the emperor. The courtiers stand in front of the coffin of the first emperor, if there is half a lie, they will be hit by five thunders, and they will not die well! Wei Zhaohua said loudly in front of everyone.

When everyone saw the token in Wei Zhaohua's hand, they all knelt down in the direction of Wei Zhaohua. Wei Qingshan saw the situation at this time

It is changing rapidly, but if you can help the queen at this time, the glory of the brocade clothes in the future will all be captured. Thinking like this, Wei Qingshan got up from the ground, pointed at Wei Zhaohua and shouted, "The token in her hand is fake!" Don't listen to her! ”

When the queen heard Wei Qingshan's words, she also hurriedly agreed, "Bold and cheap, you dare to fake the holy decree!" Don't take it for me! ”

As soon as the queen gave the order, some guards walked in the direction of Wei Zhaohua, and as soon as Shen Cuobai wanted to stop it, someone opened his mouth one step ahead of him. "The old man wants to know, who dares to touch my niece of Su Chengtuo!"

Wei Zhaohua followed the sound and looked, Su Chengtuo and Su Qinfeng walked away from the palace gate, although they were only two people, but a sergeant's aura arose spontaneously, making people unable to take their eyes off.

The queen looked at Su Chengtuo and wanted to make fun of it, but when she saw the yellowed towel in Su Qinfeng's hand behind Su Chengtuo, she suddenly froze in place, and no one knew better than her, what was it!

Su Chengtuo bypassed everyone, walked under Shen Cuobai, bowed slightly and saluted, "The minister is in danger and is ordered, there is an edict of the emperor here, and His Royal Highness the prince is invited," Su Chengtuo glanced at the queen and smiled, "And the queen's mother, bend down to accept the order!" ”

Even though the queen was unwilling, she was helpless. What Su Qinfeng followed Su Chengtuo was holding up was the edict of the first emperor!

Seeing that the queen and Shen Cuobai were both kneeling on the ground, Wei Zhaohua also hurriedly knelt down and listened to the edict brought by Su Chengtuo.

Su Chengtuo took the holy decree from Su Qinfeng's hand, opened it gently, and read it loudly, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." Although the Son of Heaven holds the rights of all people, life and death are still in heaven. The fourth prince, Shen Chenmo, has been smart since he was a child, he has won my heart, he is the king of the calendar, and he lives in the southern fiefdom of the border! Taizi Shen Cuobai is proficient in the right way, worthy of the king, may the emperor of the earth bless and protect, admire every day, and ascend to the throne of the son of heaven! Chin this! ”

After Su Chengtuo finished reading an edict, Wei Zhaohua and Shen Cuobai breathed a sigh of relief together. The two of them glanced at each other and smiled faintly. The queen sat down on the ground, helped to her feet by the maid, glared at the coffin fiercely, and then fainted.

Shen Chenmo couldn't care much, and hurriedly hugged the queen and left. Shen Cuobai received the holy decree from Su Chengtuo. Su Chengtuo smiled, "Although the minister came a little late, it was also instructed by the emperor." The later it is delayed, the more beneficial it will be for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

Shen Cuobai nodded, with a calm and breezy look, "No matter when Master Su comes, he helps Cuobai, and Cuobai is grateful." ”

Su Chengtuo knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Shen Cuobai, "I respectfully invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to become a great treasure!" May Dongqi prosper forever! ”

Everyone knew that the overall situation had been decided, and they all knelt down with Su Chengtuo and shouted, "I respectfully invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to become a great treasure, and may Dongqi prosper forever!" ”

For a while, the shouts shook the sky, and the entire Taiji Hall and the people outside the hall were all supporting Shen Cuobai to ascend the throne as emperor.

"Emperor Meng values it, I will definitely work hard in the future to protect the peace of my Eastern Qi!" Shen Cuobai said loudly, "Spread my will, Queen Jin is the queen mother, and she will live in Yonghe Palace for a long time!" The first emperor missed Queen Ziyu all his life and buried the Qingping Mausoleum into the ground! The whole country will be mourned, and the Eastern Qi will be in the East within three years

Don't celebrate happy events! ”

"Obey the order!" "The concubine obeys!"

Xuanyi looked at Shen Cuobai standing on the high platform, and smiled, such an imperial brother is probably the destiny of heaven, thinking of the token on Wei Zhaohua's body, Xuanyi looked at Wei Zhaohua. Who knew that Wei Zhaohua was also looking at her, and the two of them glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

After the funeral of the former emperor, Su Chengbi dragged his tired body back to the Wei Mansion, but Wei Zhaohua did not leave. Xuanyi looked at Wei Zhaohua following him and smiled, "We're clear." ”
