Thank you for the pink ticket of the little goldworm bug cow, thank you very much! Thanks to the demon fire fox for the tip!

In any case, the matter of the court staff is gradually fading away. Only a few people, such as Shen Huashan, kept the matter of the court staff firmly in their hearts, and did not dare to forget it for a moment.

Time continued to advance, and the major events that happened at the end of February focused the eyes and minds of all officials in one place, and they simply didn't have time to think about things like Tingzhu and Lu Wuhou.

At the end of February, when the bitter cold was about to pass, and when spring came, Prince Dayong Shangguan Ruchu could no longer stay up after staying up in the hospital bed for several months, and died in the East Palace, Chinese New Year's Eve.

The country lost the prince, and as soon as the news came out, the whole country was sad.

The first to know that the prince was sick was the imperial doctor of the Shang Pharmacy, who was ordered to treat the prince, and stayed at the prince's sickbed almost every day, and they were the most concerned about every time the prince's body improved or deteriorated.

On this day, it happened to be the imperial physician Sun Boyang who was diagnosing the prince's pulse, and as soon as he entered the prince's bedroom, he saw the palace maid who was waiting for her face like ashes, trembling and speechless.

As soon as Sun Boyang saw her like this, he secretly said that it was not good, the prince must be not good, could it be that this day has come?

He hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to see that the prince's pupils were dilated, and when he looked again, he had no pulse. The body is also rapidly losing heat, and all these signs are indicating that the prince is sick! Prince Dayong finished his short life.

For the crown prince, Sun Boyang has long been mentally prepared. Although he knew that the crown prince had been in the past few days, when this thing really came, Sun Boyang felt that he still had irrepressible fear and grief. However, the situation of this East Palace. But he could not be frightened or grieved!

At that moment, he suppressed his grief and sharply instructed the chamberlains and maids of the East Palace to do their duty, before the holy will came down. No one is allowed to reveal the news of the prince's death, and violators will be severely punished.

After sending the palace maid to inform the crown princess, Sun Boyang himself also hurried to the Zichen Palace and Kunning Palace to ask to see Emperor Changtai and the empress, this matter was too big, he had to announce the bad news to them in person.

Emperor Changtai in the Zichen Hall was a little uneasy, and he always felt that something had happened. I also feel that there is nowhere to put my hands and feet.

He was tired of watching it, and he was about to pick up the treasures on the desk to take a closer look, and the sound of "touching" sounded, and something fell down, which made his heart shake.

Zhang Sheng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, but he didn't dare to say anything, but what was broken on the ground was Emperor Changtai's favorite five-inlaid white jade Ruyi.

Ruyi, Ruyi, Ruyi is broken, is it an omen?

Emperor Changtai looked at the broken Ruyi. His face changed sharply, but before he could say anything, the chamberlain of the palace gate bureau hurriedly came to report: The imperial physician Sun Boyang is asking to see him outside the palace, and he has something important to say, please pay attention, call or not.

Didn't Sun Boyang go to the East Palace for diagnosis and treatment today? Why did you come to Zichen Palace? Emperor Changtai suddenly thought of something. Don't...... Don't......

Sun Boyang knelt in front of Emperor Changtai, confirming Emperor Changtai's guess.

"Your Majesty, please forgive your sins! Ministers...... Ministers are incompetent! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......" Sun Boyang's voice trembled, but he also tried his best to explain this matter to Emperor Changtai.

When he said the bad news that the prince had died, Emperor Changtai couldn't sit still, his body shook a few times, and there were tears in his eyes.

Although he knew that the crown prince had been in the past few months, but when it really came, he still couldn't accept it and was grief-stricken! White-haired people send black-haired people, how can they be embarrassed! Especially. The prince of the country is the first to die, this is an extremely unfortunate thing for Dayong!

He lost not only a son, but also. O prince of this country!

What a devastating thing for an emperor!

Looking back on the short life of the crown prince Shangguan Ruchu, the only thing I feel is the word "Mandate of Heaven"! Although the mandate of heaven is impermanent, it is fixed. Even if he is a prince, he can't enjoy the blessings of the world. He has enjoyed all the wealth in the world, but he dragged such a sick body, and only occupied the name of the prince, but he did not have the reality of the prince!

Zhixue, in his life, it seems that nothing can really stay. With such an almost transparent existence, in fact, not many officials really feel sad for him. Perhaps, the palace maid in the East Palace still felt a little happy about his death.

The prince has all the etiquette laws for the funeral, and naturally there will be officials such as Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites. The funeral of the Empress Dowager Ciyi has not been long ago, and the experience of these officials is still there, and they will definitely be able to take care of the prince's funeral, and Emperor Changtai does not have many questions.

He held back his grief and went to Kunning Palace to comfort the queen. Ever since the bad news that the prince had died, she had been bedridden. Every time I woke up, I kept crying, and I didn't even care about the affairs of the harem.

After consulting Emperor Changtai, the queen asked Concubine De and Concubine Xian to assist in the six palaces, and she herself grieved. At this time, she did not have the majesty of a queen, but only the grief of the loss of a son, and now, she is just a mother who has lost her son.

When Emperor Changtai came to Kunning Palace, what he saw was the queen's grief-stricken state. In just a few days, the queen seemed to have changed into a different person, her originally sallow face was even more decadent, her sideburns showed starry white hair, and her eyes were swollen and dull because of long crying.

You must know that the queen is only fifty years old, which shows what a big blow the crown prince is to her.

Since the collapse of the Empress Dowager Ciyi, Empress Jiang has been the most noble woman in the world, and she has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the world, but so what? lost his son when he was old, and the crown prince did not leave an heir, at most, he was only called the Queen Mother by the next emperor.

Thinking of this, Empress Jiang was discouraged.

Emperor Changtai looked at the queen's appearance, and he couldn't say any words of consolation, so he could only briefly talk about the prince's death: "I have ordered a boycott for three days, and it will be announced to the world in seven days." I plan to make the title of the prince 'Jing', what do you mean? ”

What Emperor Changtai didn't say was that the title of the prince presented by the Ministry of Rites was "mourning". Illness and injury are short-lived, and this title is very consistent with Shangguan Ruchu's life.

However, Emperor Changtai was the king and the father, and he had to mourn the crown prince no matter what, so he did not use the title presented by the Ministry of Rites, but personally drafted the title of "Jing". Gong Ji Xian said quiet, Kuanle Ling finally said quiet, Emperor Changtai is still quite satisfied with this title, compared to "mourning", it is already much better!

Listening to Emperor Changtai's words, the queen was a little more relieved in addition to grief, the emperor's friendship with the prince was not fake, she knew that this title was not in line with the prince's life, and she also knew that this title was already the most suitable title that Emperor Changtai could think of.

But as a mother, even if she is a son, she will give him the best of everything, including this crucial title! A hundred years later, it will be this title to call the son, and the emperor will receive royal incense under the spring, and it is also this title by virtue of the title! That being the case, she must fight for the best title for her son!

"The title that the emperor thinks of himself is the best, and this title, if the emperor knows about it, he will also be happy. He has been frail and sick since he was a child, and he can't even set up the Zhan Mansion, if you think about it, Xian Yan can be regarded as lenient; He has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a prince, and it is beautiful to say that he is complimenting himself. It's just that there is a cloud in the "Tao Te Ching": if you have your mother, you will know your son, you will know your son, and you will be able to keep your mother. Who knows that the restoration of her mother to her son is the most difficult way in the world? As soon as the queen spoke, the tears that had been slightly stopped fell like rain again.

Her words also touched Emperor Changtai's heart. The restoration of the mother to the Son is the most difficult way in the world, but how is it not the case between the Father and the Son?

The reason why the prince is what he is now, in the final analysis, is also because of his father, if it weren't for his favorite concubine Le who poisoned the prince who was less than three years old, the prince would not have lived a dull life, and Zhixue only got the title of "Jing", which is what his father owes him!

The queen watched Emperor Changtai's expression change quietly, and a bitter hatred surged in her heart - even if Concubine Le had been crushed to ashes, it could not be erased.

She already knew about Concubine Le's poisoning, otherwise she wouldn't have designed Concubine Le and Jinwu to guard the generals to have an affair, and use Emperor Changtai to uproot Concubine Le and the Le family behind her! has avenged Concubine Le's poisoning!

However, even if Concubine Le has become ashes, so what? His own emperor has ruined his whole life!

The reason why she pretended not to know about Concubine Le's poisoning over the years was to justify Emperor Changtai's guilt and indebtedness! She wants her emperor to sit on the throne of the crown prince even if she can't look at the court, and she wants Emperor Changtai not to abolish the crown prince for whatever reason, and she also wants her emperor to enjoy everything that is most noble in the world, including the grief after his death!

This is what Emperor Changtai owes to their mother and son!

What the queen thought in his heart, Emperor Changtai didn't know, he remembered the warm moments when the prince was with him in the past thirty years.

After recalling it for a long time, he said: "I think about it, 'quiet' is not very good, let's change it." The word 'gong' is very good. Zhang Sheng, preaching my will, Wei Jindu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, entered the palace. "Xuan Wei Jindu entered the palace, which is to make the crown prince title.

Emperor Changtai knew that the word "Gong" would definitely cause discussion and opposition from the courtiers, but Emperor Changtai didn't mind doing Lu Wuhou's thing again.

To the surprise of Emperor Changtai and the empress, the courtiers had no objection to the title of prince, and Zhan Cheng and other subordinates had absolutely no opinion on the matter, because they were the eyes and ears of Emperor Changtai.

Strangely, Taijoji Temple and the Ministry of Rites did not oppose either. Although the courtiers did not agree with this title and thought that this title was incompatible with etiquette, no one dared to write against Emperor Changtai's decision, the emperor was suffering from the loss of his son, who would dare to touch that moldy head?

In this way, when the prince's funeral rites were not completed, his title was set, which was "Prince Gong".

Midnight!
