Chapter 148: Cancel the funeral

In the face of Xue Yi's questioning, Emperor Cheng has a bitter word, how can he be willing to do this?! How could he be willing to use the lives of hundreds of members of the Lan family to blackmail her, but now that he doesn't do this, how can she be willing to survive?! If Xue Yi is really dead, what is the use of all these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? !

Emperor Cheng stood at the door, his tone was calm, he couldn't hear the sadness and evil, and said lightly: "Tomorrow, the first emperor will return to Yongkang Mausoleum, and I will pass on the order of the prince Xiao Yichen to be buried in Yongkang Mausoleum. “

Xue Yi sat on the railings on both sides of the bed in a daze, watching Emperor Cheng walk out of the house, knowing what he meant, either follow him into the palace, or watch him destroy the Lan family!

Xue Yi smiled bitterly, nodded and called Liu Nong to bring the jade bowl, struggled to eat a few bites, the palace grandmother led the imperial doctor in the palace to rush to Xue Yi for diagnosis and treatment, Liu Nong hurriedly lowered the bead curtain, headed by the Qin Imperial Doctor, originally there were three or five concubines in the palace in the past few days because of fear of accompanying the funeral, frightened and uneasy, the illness was heavy, the Qin Imperial Doctor was inseparable, but Emperor Cheng ordered the palace to remove the imperial doctor, and the rest rushed to the Yuwang Mansion, and everyone came together. ET

Xue Yi's jade hand poked out from behind the bead curtain, Imperial Physician Qin personally called the pulse, nodded for a while and shook his head for a while, it seemed difficult to decide, and it took a while to stand up, signaling the sun behind him to take turns to take the pulse, and then everyone came to the outside room, discussing the condition in a low voice, and Mama Gong chased after Imperial Physician Qin and asked, "Imperial Physician Qin, if there is anything you say bluntly, you don't have to hide it." Is there anything wrong with my princess's body? “

Imperial Physician Qin pointed to several other Imperial Physicians and said, "Let's talk about a few of them first." “

"I see that the princess's pulse is quite stable, but she is a little sad and overly worried, coupled with an unbalanced diet, and a loss of qi and blood, so she can't eat and drink, she is easy to vomit and faint, and as for the other ....... and forgiveness, I haven't seen it."

"Yes, yes, I have the same diagnosis as Imperial Doctor Chen, but I'm afraid that the princess's body needs to be well recuperated for a few days before it can be seen to be good, as for the big problem, it's okay."

"Uh-huh, yes yes."

Everyone discussed in a low voice, but Imperial Physician Qin just closed his eyes and said nothing, and only after everyone was silent did he open his eyes and asked, "I don't know if you can see that there seems to be a levitation in the princess's pulse?" “

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they all shook their heads together.

Imperial Physician Qin stood up and said, "Okay, since that's the case, the princess's jade body is precious, so it's better for you and me to be cautious in taking medicine."

"Imperial Physician Qin, is there anything big about my princess's body?!". ET

Imperial Physician Qin said while prescribing the prescription: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm overthinking, plus the residual poison in my body before, my body is weak, and I just need to take care of it, just let someone go and get the medicine." ”

Imperial Physician Qin handed the prescription to Mama Gong, led everyone to leave in a hurry, Emperor Cheng sat on the roof, hearing that Xue was fine, and a hanging heart fell.

"Bang Bang ........" The drum sounded for the third watch, and Emperor Cheng was about to leave, when there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

"Humble to meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!" Xiao Yu stood behind Emperor Cheng in a night suit.

"Is everything done?" Emperor Cheng did not turn back.

"Yes, tomorrow morning, all the senators will come together to ask for the canonization of Concubine Yuan as the queen mother, and abolish the old system of accompanying the funeral of palace concubines." It turned out that Emperor Cheng ordered Xiao Yu to visit the cabinet ministers one by one late at night, to persuade them to approve the canonization of Concubine Yuan as the queen mother, this matter is not difficult, first, Concubine Yuan is stable and generous, the first emperor presided over the harem in an orderly manner during his illness, and he also had a meritorious role in getting rid of Concubine Jing, and she is the daughter of Shangshu, and she is qualified in terms of talent and background, but this abolition of the funeral, the old ministers are very incomprehensible, and Xiao Xiao Xiaozhi said that he moved a few old ministers.

"You've worked hard." Emperor Cheng's hand fell on Xiao Yu's shoulder.

"I don't dare." Xiao Yu hurriedly knelt on the ridge of the roof.

Emperor Cheng turned his back to Xiao Nu and said in a gloomy voice: "Xiao Su, when you and I are alone, you don't have to call yourself a humble position, and you don't have to call me the emperor, you and I are just like brothers in the past." ”

Xiao Yu lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Don't dare to be lowly, you can't mess with the rules, the emperor should have thought that there would be today before he ascended the throne. ”

"Yes, I can't go back, now Xueyi has regarded me as an enemy, and you have to alienate me." Emperor Cheng was depressed and sad.

Xiao Yu looked at the imperial doctor who came out and asked, "What's wrong with the princess?" As far as the humble knows, Lan Guang has commanded the eldest prince to raise the banner of punishing the country thief, and wants to denounce the emperor, I am afraid that in the future, there will be ........ between the princess and the emperor." Xiao Yu didn't continue, he believed that Emperor Cheng understood in his heart.

Of course, Emperor Cheng knows that he can't kill Lan Guang if he wants Xue Yi to stay by his side, but he is planning to ascend the throne of God, just to kill Lan Guang to avenge his mother, and now he has become the lord of a country like the Son of Heaven, but killing Lan Guang doesn't seem to be such a simple thing, even if there is no Xue Yi, what name do you want to kill the prime minister of a country?!

He sent someone to secretly investigate Lan Guang, hoping to find out what he could say about his crimes, but the news he got disappointed him and made him incomprehensible, Lan Guang has a clear political voice, and he is also a good official in the mouth of the people, and now it is best for him to pull the flag and rebel, so he will have an excuse to kill him!

It's just that he is both looking forward to Lan Guang's rebellion and afraid of Lan Guang's rebellion, and his mind is in turmoil for a while.

Emperor Cheng and Xiao Yu watched the lights in Xueyi's room go out, before returning to the palace, Emperor Cheng took a break, Xiao Yu escorted on the side, and squinted for a while, the drum beat silently, it was already the time of Mao, Emperor Cheng knew that it was time to go to court, the five dukes had come in, served him and put on the dragon robe, and the group came to the top of the Golden Palace, Wendong and Wuxi two classes of civil and military were lined up, and the eunuchs shouted according to the routine: "There is a book to play without a book to retreat from the court........

"The minister has his own music." The celebrant Lou Sikong held his hands high and said: "The minister has the book, the country cannot be without a king, and the harem cannot be without a master. “

"The minister is against!" As soon as Lou Sikong finished speaking, one person knelt down on the court and raised his voice in opposition.

Emperor Cheng fixed his eyes and recognized that the person who opposed it was Zhang Yushi of the Yushi Terrace, he didn't like these officials in his heart, thinking that they had nothing to do all day long, and they just relied on their three-inch tongue to tell right and wrong, so he didn't ask angrily: "But I don't know what Zhang Yushi's opinion is?" “

Zhang Yushi knelt in the court, looking at Emperor Cheng's face, he already understood that this matter should be Emperor Cheng's opinion, and he kowtowed and played: "Long live the lord, since ancient times, the new monarch succeeded to the throne, the queen is the queen mother, and the biological mother of the queen is not the queen mother. “

"What's the difference? I forgot to tell you ministers, I grew up in the outer frontier since I was a child, and I have to be concubine of Mengyuan who does not give up, and often sends people to take care of it, so I have long recognized the concubine as my mother, and today I canonized the concubine as the queen, who else disagrees?! Emperor Cheng raised his voice.

Now seeing Emperor Cheng's face, goodbye to the old ministers of the Wuwei cabinet and important ministers are all on this to ask for Concubine Yuan, it can be seen that this matter has become a foregone conclusion, no matter who opposes it, it is just to please Emperor Cheng's disgust.

The ministers above the court responded as one: "The emperor is sage, the emperor is benevolent and filial, it is the luck of my invitation to the moon and the luck of the people, long live my emperor!" “

Emperor Cheng quietly gave Lou Sikong a look, instructed him to continue to go to the book, Lou Sikong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, just when he saw that someone objected, he also pinched a cold sweat for Emperor Cheng, the so-called public anger is difficult to offend, if the ministers oppose this matter, even Emperor Cheng has no way, and I am afraid that he can only be pushed out to be a scapegoat.

Now, Lou Sikong saw that the matter of Fenghou was so easily approved by the ministers, and the list was also bigger, and the second book was played: "The ministers still have this music." “

Emperor Cheng nodded: "Present it." “

A moment later, Emperor Cheng gave Lou Sikong's recital to the eunuch and said: "Order all the ministers to read this recital, Lou Sikong is talented and kind, and these women will thank Lou Sikong for his great kindness." “

Lou Sikong kowtowed: "Don't dare, long live the old minister, this is just a little idea that the old minister already has, it is not mature, and I hope that all colleagues will discuss it." “

After everyone read the recital, they couldn't help but gasp, it turned out that Lou Sikong's second recital was to cancel the burial system for the living.

Seeing that all the ministers were speechless, Emperor Cheng cleared his voice and asked, "What do you ministers think?" ”

An old minister with a white beard knelt down from work, kowtowed and said: "Long live the benevolence of the house, it is indeed my luck to invite the people of the Moon Country, the luck of the royal family, but this funeral system is the old system left by the ancestors for thousands of years, and the first emperor is great, how can there be no neighbors to serve?" Could it be that the first emperor lived alone in the heavenly court, and there was not even a person waiting by his side? Is this the act of benevolence and filial piety for the Son of Man? I hope to live long live and think twice! ”

The old minister Gongyi has thorns in his words, and there are needles hidden in the cotton, which seems to praise Emperor Cheng's benevolence and filial piety, but it is a sarcasm that Emperor Cheng is not filial! Everyone sweated for Gong Yi.

The ancients were superstitious, thinking that there is another world after death, just like the yang world, and the emperor is the son of heaven, that is, the son of heaven, after death, there should be concubines and servants as when he was alive, if this funeral system is canceled, that is to say, the first emperor will become a real loner!

"Long live the minister, Gongyi's words are not enough to win the trust, the first emperor was so sympathetic to the harem in the world, never harshly criticized the palace people, and also intended to cancel the funeral system, but the departure was in a hurry, and it was not written, so the old minister thought, if the first emperor knew, he would not blame Long live, but praise Long Live benevolence and filial piety." Taifu Li Yu came out of class and said.

Suddenly, above the court, you and I were in a mess, and Emperor Cheng couldn't discuss it when he saw it, so he flicked his robe sleeves and left the dragon chair and walked out of the golden hall.

"Retreat from the ......."
