Chapter 112: State-owned mourning
Ying Nantu's three roars, and the fragrance of the mountains, made Shen Ning's mind wake up! Yes, do what you want, be happy, let it be stormy, I don't move, and behave in the world, shouldn't it be like this? Didn't I think the same way when I saw the plum blossoms that I had thought about? The Shen family is prosperous, what kind of crisis is this?
Why do you feel that there is a backlog of worries before coming to Tianning Temple? It's time to let go of these worries!
This trip is worth it!
She looked at Ying Nantu, who was still complacent, and smiled slightly. Immediately, he followed his example, stretched out his hand upward, and roared three times, high and far, crisp and loud! Now, the sound of birds fluttering in the forest is even more!
Her move made Ying Nantu stunned, and the three people behind her were even more petrified, which was too ...... Incredible, right?!
Shen Ning couldn't help but laugh when he saw the petrification of these people, especially when he saw Ying Nantu's stunned appearance, and all his worries and thoughts were swept away! This Tianning Temple is really a place to forget your worries!
When she got up the next morning, Shen Yao was still muttering: "I don't know which madman was last night, he yelled and screamed in the temple, so I couldn't sleep well!" "That's it! Three watches in the middle of the night, what's there to call it?! Gu Wenhua on the side replied, and her tone was also complaining, she couldn't sleep well last night.
Shen Ning listened to it with a normal expression, nodded gracefully, and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't know which madman it is!" Her eyes narrowed with a smile, which showed that she was really happy. Instead, it was Qiu Ge, her eyes dodging, thinking that this was all the result of the girl's madness with Ying Nantu.
Because Shen Ning relieved the depression in his heart, he felt that maybe the road ahead would be bright, and he was in a good mood. She was waiting, waiting for what was to come.
Sure enough, the crisis of the Shen family did not last long, because a major event happened in the court, from the royal family to the courtiers. Down to the people, everyone focused their eyes on this major event, and no one thought about the Shen family's affairs at all, and this major event invisibly solved the Shen family's crisis!
On July 13, as soon as Shen Ning and his party returned to Shen's house, they heard Shen An's news that the Queen Mother was in a coma again. This news was heard by Ye Zhengchun from Sun Boyang of Shang Pharmacy, and it was absolutely true and reliable. Ye Zhengchun told Shen Zejing the news, just to let the Shen family prepare early!
It was only ten days after the Queen Mother woke up, and she fell into a coma again. At this time, the imperial doctors of the Shang Pharmacy secretly said that it was not good, but because of the holy will, they did not dare to say it to Emperor Changtai openly, so they had to secretly mention that the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Taifu Temple should prepare in advance, so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes.
After listening to Shen An's report, Shen Yu thought about it for a while, and quickly made a decision, she instructed the people in the sewing room to take out the burlap prepared earlier from the treasury and rush to make filial piety clothes; At the same time, he instructed everyone in each room to prepare more elegant and quiet clothes; It also made people go to Zhenbao Zhai to buy a batch of plain jewelry such as silver hairpins and jade hairpins. As for herself, she also instructed Yu's mother to pack up the dazzling gold hairpins and various colored gemstone objects and press them under the jewelry box. Just quietly waiting for things to come.
In the thirty-seventh year of Changtai, on the thirteenth night of May, the first month of the month was lost, and on the night of May 15th, the moon was completely eclipse.
Many people's faces changed when they saw this celestial phenomenon, especially the officials of Si Tiantai, who were so frightened that they couldn't sit still, and they heard that the Spring and Autumn facial features couldn't even hold the teacup, and they couldn't take care of their clothes, so they hurried to Si Tianjian's house!
Shen Yuping, who was sitting at home, took the initiative to find his uncle Shen Zejing for the first time. Tell him the meaning of this celestial phenomenon: the moon is born for three days and is eclipsed, which is a great disaster, and the country is mourned!
Sure enough, the eclipse of the moon after three days of birth is a great disaster, and the country is mourned! On May 16, the 37th year of Changtai, the Empress Dowager Gao collapsed in the East Warm Pavilion of Cining Palace, and died at the end of her life.
When the bad news of the Queen Mother's collapse in Cining Palace reached the ears of Emperor Changtai, he had just gone down to the early dynasty and was discussing with several princes about serving the Queen Mother - this time Shangguan Yongping and Shangguan Changzhi were obedient, and as soon as the news of the Queen Mother falling into a coma again, they said that they would serve the sick and be filial to the bed. No, in the early dynasty, Emperor Changtai's father and son were discussing the illness of the Empress Dowager Gao.
Hearing this bad news, Emperor Changtai was stunned for a moment, and then saw Shangguan Chengyou crying, and his mouth wailed: "Imperial grandmother! Crying bitterly! Seeing the rest of the people all acting the same way, with tears in their eyes!
Emperor Changtai reacted at this time, and even the court clothes didn't have time to change, and he staggered towards the direction of Cining Palace, and several princes were the same, all the way through, and the cry of Dayong's harem shook the sky.
When Emperor Changtai rushed to the East Warm Pavilion of Cining Palace out of breath, he saw that the Empress Dowager Gao's eyes were closed and her face was peaceful, if it weren't for the cold and hard death, he would have thought that the Empress Dowager was just asleep! In just one year, the energetic queen mother has gone, and Emperor Changtai couldn't help but scream: "Queen mother! I cried bitterly.
In the Dongnuan Pavilion of Cining Palace, the queen, the crown princess, the concubine Mu, Concubine De, Concubine Xian, Concubine Mu and Concubine Li Guifei were all gathered in front of the queen mother's bed, all of them in tears. When the queen saw Emperor Changtai's sad appearance, she quickly wiped her tears and comforted him: "Your Majesty, please mourn." Take care of yourself. Concubine De and other harem concubines and Shangguan Chengyou and other princes all advised him to take care of his condolences, and for a while, the grief of Cining Palace weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
I saw Shangguan Changzhi take a step forward, although his words were sad but his words were clear: "Father, please mourn, the top priority is to arrange the major events after the death of the emperor's grandmother, and I hope that my father will make a decision." The grief of the imperial grandmother is definitely a first-class event! ”
Only then did Emperor Changtai remember that what was more important than pain and sadness was the funeral rites of the Queen Mother, and the mourning of the Queen Mother!
Emperor Changtai remembered Empress Dowager Gao's nurturing and teaching to him, teaching him how to be a ruler and how to use ministers, and how to tell him to love his body, and remembered her earnest teachings and earnest advice, and once again burst into tears.
Despite his grief, Emperor Changtai also endured his grief and issued orders one after another: Wei Jingyao, Shen Ke, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Xue Dengting, the Shaofu Supervisor, entered the palace; In the palace of Jinwu right guard, the palace ban was implemented according to the highest level; ordered the queen to control the harem concubines strictly, and listen to the arrangements for restraint, crying and other things; ordered the young king and other royal relatives in other places to return to Jingzhao Marquis as soon as possible; Ordered the princes to return to their homes as soon as possible to prepare for the funeral......
Wei Jingyao, Shen Ke and others soon came to Cining Palace to kneel and cry, waiting for Changtai's will. Wei Jindu's heart was even more sad, the Ministry of Rites had just finished the Spring Festival, and it was not easy to calm down a little. But when it comes to such a major event as the collapse of the Queen Mother, don't think about living a quiet life in the Ministry of Rites!
Although there has been a major event such as the collapse of the Queen Mother, it was only the last time a courtier presided over the funeral rites of the Queen Mother, it was more than 40 years ago, and Emperor Changtai had not yet ascended the throne at that time! It's been a long time. It is also necessary to re-check the relevant classics, and the funeral rites of each generation of the Queen Mother are not the same, or grand and complicated, or everything is simple, depending on the achievements of the Queen Mother and the meaning of the emperor.
Although Emperor Changtai was not from Empress Dowager Gao, the relationship between the two was extremely deep. Mother and son filial piety, Wei Jingyao and others estimate that the funeral etiquette of the Queen Mother will not be simplified this time.
But no matter whether the funeral rites of the Queen Mother are grand or simple, they will inevitably go through the process of sending funeral clothes, registers, mourning, removing clothes, burying mountain tombs and orange temple activities, and you must first select the officials who preside over the entire funeral etiquette process, which is the first important! Therefore, Wei Jindu reported with a crying voice: "Please ask the emperor to focus on the dragon body." Please decree the envoy of the mountain. Dan Li's big things. ”
The rest of the officials also advised Emperor Changtai to take care of the dragon body and ask the envoy of the mountain mausoleum, according to the past practice, the prince or Zhongshu Ling was appointed as the envoy of the mountain tomb to preside over the funeral. This time, among the brothers of Emperor Changtai, there is only one unreliable young king left, and it seems that most of them are Wei Jingyao, the ministers guessed.
It is not difficult to make the mountain mausoleum of the Great Yong Dynasty, and the mausoleum of the emperor began to be built when the emperor ascended the throne, and it was the time of the emperor's great trip. It's been prepared for a long time. Therefore, there is no need to be like the previous Da'an Dynasty, after the completion of the mountain and tomb affairs, the Zhongshu Order, who served as the mountain envoy, must resign and leave office, so Wei Jingyao did not have much resistance to the title of mountain envoy.
Just as these people thought, Emperor Changtai ordered Wei Jingyao to be the envoy of the mountain mausoleum and lead the funeral of the Empress Dowager Gao, and the Ministry of Rites and Shaofu Temple assisted Wei Jingyao in handling the funeral matters throughout the process. Emperor Changtai also ordered that the funeral rites of the Empress Dowager Gao should be handled in accordance with the highest ritual system for the funeral of the Empress Dowager, and it must be grand. to show the empress dowager's grief.
The first thing Wei Jingyao did as the envoy of the mountain was to complete the ceremony of the Queen Mother's small gathering, but he didn't expect that it was such a small link, and there was a lot of wrestling in it.
The queen mother's big line, the small ceremony, according to the system, should be the queen and the princess in person, personally bathe, dress, cover, etc., but the princess has nothing to do, if she comes to the collection, I am afraid that there will be a "broken child" hindrance, so the officials of the Tiantai and the Ministry of Rites suggested to Wei Jingyao that someone else should be chosen. Wei Jingyao naturally reported this concern and suggestion to Emperor Changtai, and finally asked: "Who does Shangyi belong to?" ”
The salute, the greatest, had to be cautious. Who will replace the crown princess, don't look at this as a trivial matter, the meaning behind this is far-reaching, and he doesn't dare to make decisions without permission.
Emperor Changtai listened to Wei Jingyao's words and also thought that the crown princess was not suitable, so who would replace her? Concubine De and Concubine Xian are all qualified, who is more suitable for these two candidates? He couldn't make a decision for a while, so he had to ask the chamberlain to invite the queen and prepare to discuss with her, but he didn't expect that the eldest Changqiu of Kunning Palace would come to ask for a meeting, and the queen asked the emperor to go to Cining Palace for a trip, and he had something to do.
What was the queen doing in Cining Palace at this time? Emperor Changtai felt very strange, so he took Wei Jingyao, followed by Zhang Sheng, the leader of the inner guards, and the guards of Jin Wuwei, and hurried to Cining Palace.
When I arrived at Cining Palace, I saw that the queen looked sad and helpless, in front of the East Warm Pavilion of Cining Palace, the second prince knelt down and cried bitterly, and called: "Imperial grandmother...... The imperial grandmother ......, "It turns out that Shangguan Chengyou has already left Cining Palace with other princes, and several adult princes have returned to the palace to prepare for mourning. Who knew that Shangguan Chengyou turned back to Cining Palace halfway, insisting on staying in Cining Palace and refusing to leave.
The queen couldn't let him leave half a step by all means, so she had no choice but to invite the emperor to persuade him to leave.
When Emperor Changtai arrived, Shangguan Chengyou's eyes were swollen from crying, and he saw that his expression was sad and wooden, and he saluted Emperor Changtai: "The emperor's grandmother was the most affectionate to me when she was alive, and now her sons are really reluctant!" Father, you let me stay in Cining Palace, let me accompany the imperial grandmother here for the last time, and I am willing to serve the dogs and horses. With that, tears welled up in his eyes again.
Seeing this situation, Emperor Changtai couldn't help but reddened his eyes again, and the grief that had been forcibly suppressed was aroused again at this moment, which was filial piety and reluctance to love his elders! Emperor Changtai himself was experienced, and he was also extremely understanding of Shangguan Chengyou's feelings and practices, at the moment, he gently patted Shangguan Chengyou's shoulder, and his tone was extremely soft: "Go back to the house first, your thoughts to the queen mother, I think he also knows, the queen mother can't bear to see you so sad, go back to the house first, and there is a big gathering and crying spirit......"
Wei Jingyao, who was following Emperor Changtai, raised his eyebrows invisibly, and his heart was relieved. It seems that the candidate to replace the crown princess has been decided, and with the second prince here, it is estimated that the queen mother has nothing to do with the concubine.
Sure enough, when he returned to Zichen Palace, Wei Jingyao heard Emperor Changtai say to him: "Concubine De will replace the crown princess and work with the queen mother to personally collect for the queen mother." Presumably, the queen mother's spirit in heaven will also be happy to do this. ”
Wei Jingyao nodded respectfully and said that he would obey the will and deliver the will of Emperor Changtai to the queen, Concubine De and various officials.
