All the officials wore plain clothes, fasted, and went to the Shangqing Palace every day to cry and mourn until the old emperor was buried.

People are not allowed to wear red and green, are not allowed to marry, and are not allowed to drink alcohol and eat meat.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites discussed the nickname and reported the results to Linghu Su.

Linghu Su couldn't make up his mind, so he kicked it to the two prime ministers and let them decide.

From the third day, the minister only needed to cry for a while in the Shangqing Palace and continue to do his own thing, and Ling Husu only sat on the dragon chair of the Taihe Hall on the first day, and would not sit after that until he officially succeeded to the throne.

During this time, all government affairs were handled in Qianyuan Palace, and Qianyuan Palace was also regarded by him as a dormitory in the future.

The four princes were initially placed under house arrest, but for the sake of their filial piety, Linghu Su allowed them to enter the palace every day to cry spirits, and they were not allowed to go anywhere else.

Linghu Su will not do anything to his brothers, this is an agreement with his father. At this moment, they are under house arrest for protection, and at this most critical and sensitive time, they are easily induced by other countries, and then commit unforgivable crimes.

Fortunately, the sacrificial rites of Emperor Chen were not strict enough to make Husu imagine, and many rules were not as many as Linghusu's original world.

The emperor's mausoleum had already been built, and the sacrificial officials had calculated the date of the funeral, which would be five days later, that is, December 16th.

The subtleties of the funeral do not need to be considered by Ling Hu Su, the officials of Chen Guo, large and small, can handle it properly, and he has more important things to do at the critical moment of Chen Guo.

"Wen Yu, the firearms department will be handed over to you."

In the Qianyuan Palace, Linghu Su officially appointed Zhang Wenyu as the secretary of the Ministry of Firearms.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Officialdom naturally has to speak officialdom, and Zhang Wenyu knows the rules.

Zhou Tian asked.

"The minister is here."

"You go and lead the Northwest Army! The Firearms Department will give you priority in equipping you with weapons, and I hope that within a month, your Northwest Army will have 20,000 riflemen. ”

In this era, the emperor called himself lonely, but Ling Husu didn't like it, and felt that he was lonely, lonely, and the meaning was not good or good, or I was more domineering, so he invented this title.

Zhou Tian asked Daxi, Chen Guo's three armies, namely the Northwest Army, the Eastern Navy, and the Lin'an Army, each with 200,000 people. For Zhou Tianwen, he was thinking about entering these three armies all the time, even if he was only a small general.

The commander of the Northwest Army is the man of the King of Han, and Ling Husu must be replaced.

"Cheng Jin, you take Zhou Tianwen's position and take charge of the city guards."

However, Cheng Jin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be the commander of the city guards, I just want to protect you by your side." ”

Brother Linghu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you draw another 4,000 people from the Imperial Forest Army and form a pro-guard army with the previous 1,000 people." "Ling Husu will definitely go out with the army in the future, and the pro-guard army can just protect him.

"As for the new candidates for the City Guard, do you have any recommendations?"

Next, the ministers gave full play to their talents, expressed their opinions, and almost recommended General Chen Guo.

The commander of the city guard seems to have a high status, but in fact it is not, because for the general, not being able to go to the battlefield is equal to zero, and there will never be a chance to make meritorious contributions. For example, Zhou Tianwen, if he is still in the same position, he may only be this achievement until he dies. But when it comes to the other three major armies, it is different, and there are a lot of opportunities to seal the marquis.

However, the city guard is responsible for the security of the capital, and it is still an extremely important position, although it has no prospects, but its status is quite high.

"Put it on hold! Anyway, General Zhou can't leave in a short time. ”

Ling Husu has not made many appointments and changes, and at this time, he needs to maintain the status quo as much as possible, and he must not be impatient. Even if there is dissatisfaction, it will not break out until the old emperor is buried and officially ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty, the State of Qin, the State of Wei, and the Kingdom of Han all sent letters of condolence."

"Okay, you don't need to read it, just have it."

At this time, Zhang Wenyu raised his hand, making Husu speechless, you think this is a class, and you still raised your hand.

"Lord Zhang, please speak?"

"I just said that we will build at least 20,000 guns a month, which is far from being reached with the current manpower and material resources, so Your Majesty, the ministers need more people, more money, and more materials."

Ling Husu understood that hot weapons were a bottomless pit, and they could be swallowed as much as they wanted, so he said: "Lord Chen, if Lord Zhang asks for money or land, you don't need to report it to me, you just need to give it all at that time." ”

Lord Chen is the head of the household, and immediately answered.

This is the first day to deal with government affairs as the emperor, not much, because many things have been suppressed, and now only some urgent matters are being handled.

went down early, and Ling Husu rushed to the Shangqing Palace again.

The once gorgeous Shangqing Palace is now dressed in white and looks extremely desolate.

There were still people in the palace crying quietly, so Hu Su knew who it was and walked in quickly.

"Queen Mother, don't cry, your eyes are swollen into peaches."

Su Liu didn't think about tea and dinner these days, stayed awake all night, and came here every day to shed tears, which was really the ultimate. As for the other imperial concubines, except for the first three days, after that, they just routinely mourned every day, and they never came again.

Su Liu leaned his head into Linghu Su's arms and sobbed: "The queen mother is just uncomfortable and has to cry." ”

Ling Husu understood her feelings, after all, they were a husband and wife who had been together for twenty years, although the difference between the two of them was nearly twenty years old, but the relationship was very deep.

"Queen Mother, you are still young, and you still have a lot of days to go, I need you to help me, you can't fall."

Su Liu asked in surprise: "Is there anything else you need my help with?" You little girl, now you are so powerful, you can even be the emperor, what else can't you do. But be careful, I occasionally hear people around me talk about you going against the grain, and you are afraid of being damned. ”

Ling Hu Su's eyes showed murderous anger, I don't know who was chewing the root of his tongue, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine, let them say whatever they say, anyway, I can't miss a piece of meat." By the way, the Queen Mother, the Propaganda Department is empty these days, you have time to take care of it, this issue is themed on the death of my father, and the next issue is themed on my accession to the throne, so everyone in the world must know about it. ”

Su Liu said faintly: "I will be the queen mother soon, I can't do these things, I can only live in the harem." Now that the Propaganda Department is short of books, you can appoint a capable person to do it! ”

"Hehe, who can be as powerful as the queen mother, otherwise, the queen mother, how about you continue to serve as the secretary of the Propaganda Department? It's not like you did before, you're the secretary of the Propaganda Department. ”

Su Liu's eyes were happy, but she said in her mouth: "Okay, you girl, you want to control your queen mother." ”

"Oh, Queen Mother, how dare I care about you, you are in charge of me. Look at how much face you have, a scholar can manage the emperor. ”

Su Liu smiled, hiding her sadness, and the eunuchs and palace maids around her breathed a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that something would happen to Su Liu.

"In this case, Queen Mother, I will send you back to the palace, there are a large number of people here to take care of it, you don't have to stay all the time, you just need to come to mourn every day."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, let's go!"
