Sure enough, a few days later, the people from the yamen came to inform the emperor that he had died, and the people could not do happy events for a year.

Everyone in Shanshui Village knows that the current emperor is gone. They all sighed a few words, after all, the emperor is still good today, and the people are living quite well. There are natural disasters and the like, but they are still relatively rare. Now that the emperor is gone, the lives of the common people have not been greatly affected, but they will still sigh.

The emperor is gone, and naturally this year's imperial examination has also stopped.

"Hey, old man, I originally planned that in two months, the grandsons of the family would finish participating in the imperial examination, and when the result was, they would tell a few granddaughters about marriage, but now this imperial examination is gone. What about this granddaughter's marriage? Zhou asked.

The old man sat on the bed, frowning for a while, very worried. was looking forward to the good thing, but Du Fuzi is gone, the emperor is gone, and now even his grandson's imperial examination is gone. He was also very worried.

"Wait a minute. Anyway, now the emperor is gone. At least three months can not talk about marriage, and one year can not do happy events. I can't rush it. The old man said.

"Okay, listen to you, this emperor is really not the right time to die." Zhou was dissatisfied.

"You old woman don't want to die, this emperor is what you can comment on. Shut your foul mouth for me. ”

"You dead old man, I just talked in the house, and I didn't go out to shout, you dead old man scolded me."

The imperial examination was temporarily canceled, which made Zhou Zibao's brothers feel a pity, but there is no way, anyway, if you don't take the exam this year, you always have to take the exam, it's a big deal, study hard during this time. When the time comes to take the exam, I have a better grasp. Although a few people felt pity in their hearts, they didn't put down their books and continued to work hard.

can't do happy events, the result makes the people of Shanshui Village really bitter, after all, it has been negotiated a long time ago, and everything has been done on a good day. The result can only be delayed now, and not in a day or two, or a month or two, but in a year. But no matter how bitter it is, there is no way.

In the capital, the streets that should have been bustling were also deserted at this time, and all the shops were hung with white cloths. The brothel that used to be the most prosperous has long since closed its doors.

At this time, a gloomy atmosphere was permeating the capital, especially the homes of those big officials, who were almost all closed.

Situ Chen was in the palace at this time, the emperor was already lying in the coffin, and in the main hall, there were rows of people kneeling, all of whom were the emperor's concubines, princes, princesses, and the like, as well as some princes. One by one, the women cried like tears. The place in the palace is white everywhere, revealing a cold and gloomy color.

Situ Chen knelt in the hall like him, and at this time he was kneeling in front of the coffin wearing linen and filial piety, his face was cold and there was no temperature. The day after Situ Chen returned to the capital, the emperor was gone. But Situ Chen saw the emperor for the last time.

Because the emperor not only secretly summoned Situ Chen, but also Situ Chen still had the holy decree given by the emperor in his hand, not only that, but he also had a jade seal in his hand. Of course, all of this was done in secret, except for the emperor and Situ Chen, who were gone, no one else knew that he was holding such a big thing in his hands. At this time, he behaved very ordinary. No one could have guessed that the emperor would have put something so important in his hands.
