Today's meeting with hundreds of officials, although it is not as grand as the enthronement ceremony, but it is also the beginning of the funeral of Emperor Jiahe, and Bo Yan took Zhao Xueyan to stand alone, and the significance is naturally extraordinary.

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty were all dressed in mourning clothes, and seeing Bo Yan and Zhao Xueyan sitting down, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old, and the queen mother is a thousand years old." ”

Although Emperor Jiahe has made an edict, Zhao Xueyan has not yet performed the enthronement ceremony, and Bo Yan has not officially canonized the title. So everything is still called the crown prince and the queen.

Zhao Xueyan's thin body sat on the huge dragon chair, making people look at the ten twists, looking at the hundreds of officials who were kneeling and bowing with black hands, he was a little overwhelmed, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Bo Yan, and his body trembled slightly.

Bo Yan smiled slightly, and nodded lightly at Zhao Xueyan, but those eyes were like ancient wells, with the magic of soothing people's hearts.

Zhao Xueyan calmed down for a moment, exhaled lightly and raised his hand to everyone: "Flat." ”

"Your Majesty." Everyone stood up as they were told, and hung their heads solemnly.

Bo Yan glanced at the people below, many of whom were familiar faces, Bo Zhongqing with a serious face; seems to be respectful Yan Qishao and Master Yan; Liu Zhao, who was nervous and always wanted to look up to spy on him.

Bo Yan retracted his gaze and slowly spoke: "The first emperor died, and everyone knows the edict." ”

Everyone, look at me, I look at you and nod in unison: "Obey the holy decree." ”

"The crown prince is young, since the first emperor canonized Prime Minister Bo as a first-class protector, it is a trust in the Bo family, and in the future, the major and minor affairs of the court will depend on the protector." Bo Yan said the scene.

"The old minister will live up to the hard work of the first emperor, please rest assured that the queen mother."

Zhao Xue said: "The prime minister is invited, and he will rely on the prime minister in the future." ”

Bo Zhongqing waved his hand again and again, bending his body to the point that he couldn't bend anymore: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has tormented the old minister, this is just the duty of the old minister." ”

Bo Yan no longer looked at Bo Zhongqing, raised his head and continued: "Last night, Captain Qian killed Yao Yu, the leader of the forbidden army, I think everyone has heard of it, Yao Yu privately dispatched the forbidden army to surround the palace gate, harboring evil intentions, and his heart can be punished!" Captain Qian has meritorious service, and he should be rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and the decision will be made after the crown prince succeeds to the throne. ”

When Qian Wei heard this, he clenched his fists and came out: "Weichen Empress Xie, His Royal Highness Prince Xie." ”

"The first emperor means to be buried with Empress Yongtai, this matter is not difficult, but it will take some effort to reopen Empress Yongtai's mausoleum, and the post of supervisor will be handed over to Lord Yan Rongyan."

Yan Qishao was stunned, did not dare to pause, and hurriedly came out of the queue to respond.

Master Yan gritted his teeth secretly, such a thankless job as a supervisor was actually arranged to Yan Qishao, this is not just a matter of overkill, it is clearly intended to suppress the Yan family, the queen knows that the only person available to the Yan family now is Yan Qishao, and he is tripped up with the matter of re-repairing the mausoleum, which is to limit people's right-hand men, although this queen is young, she is a ruthless character, and her own people in the past looked down on her too much.

"The country can't be without a king for a day, Qin Tianjian will choose the date of the prince's enthronement ceremony as soon as possible, and then it will be handled by the Ministry of Rites, with the assistance of the Ministry of Industry, and the allocation of 50,000 taels should be enough." Bo Yan said.

Master Yan's eyes rolled, and he said, "Queen Mother, the minister has objections." ”

Bo Yan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? ”

Master Yan continued: "The new emperor's accession to the throne is a major event of the country, arranging the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors, preparing all kinds of offerings, and cutting palace clothes, just the golden dragon Confucian clothes worn by the first emperor when he ascended the throne cost 50,000 taels of silver, and now Niangniang only sows 50,000 taels, I am afraid that even a piece of clothing for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not enough." ”

Although the words were sincere, it was inevitable that there was a suspicion of ridiculing Bo Yan for his lack of knowledge, and there was a wave of mutual eyelash among the hundred officials.

Bo Zhongqing frowned, Liu Zhao's face was not good-looking, the two of them stepped forward, and before they could say anything, they heard Bo Yan from the top open: "When the first emperor ascended the throne, the four seas were leveled, and Emperor Gaozu also made preparations for the first emperor's accession to the throne early, and all the tools were prepared early, which is naturally different from today's situation. Which article in the calendar of Zhao State indicates how many taels of silver the new emperor must spend on ascending the throne to be decent, in the final analysis, it is all the people's fat and people's anointment, how could Lord Yan propose it so justifiably? ”

Master Yan choked, he deliberately proposed to increase the cost in order to arouse public anger, but he didn't expect Bo Yan to see everything so clearly, so that he seemed short-sighted.

"Yes, it's the old minister who is shallow, and the old minister is also for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince, the scene is made for others to see, only 50,000 taels, the scene is indeed smaller, I am afraid that I will look down on His Royal Highness the Prince, and look down on our Zhao Kingdom." Master Yan argued.

Zhao Xueyan said: "This is also what I mean, in extraordinary times, everything is naturally simple, the king of a country does not look at the size of the enthronement scene, the people are the most important," Speaking of this, Zhao Xueyan raised his chin and looked at Bo Yanzhan and smiled: "This is also what the queen mother said." ”

This inexplicable warmth and harmony surprised everyone at the good feelings of the stepmother and stepson.

"The prince is wise, and the queen is wise." The crowd fell to their knees and shouted.

……

On the way back to the palace after the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Xueyan showed a rare smile, relaxed and walked on Bo Yan's side, raised his head and said proudly to Bo Yan: "How did I behave today?" ”

Bo Yan smiled: "Yes, I have the appearance of the emperor." ”

Zhao Xueyan pouted: "It's obviously a good-looking chair, and it's really nervous to sit on it." ”

"It's not just a chair, it's Zhao Guo's country, and it's natural to be nervous."

Zhao Xueyan nodded as if she didn't understand, as if she suddenly thought of something, and hesitantly leaned close to Bo Yan's side and whispered: "But the queen mother, there is something I don't understand." ”

"What?"

Zhao Xueyan looked around and lowered her voice: "Since the Yan family is not a good type, why not completely uproot their family?" I am the crown prince, you are the queen, just take the incident of Yan Dashao appearing at the gate of the palace that night, you can completely punish the Yan family. ”

Bo Yan smiled: "I know that I want to clear dissidents and grow up, but have you ever thought that the Yan family can stand in the court for many years, and naturally has his own relationship network, the appearance of Yan Dashao that day can not cure the Yan family of much crime, remember, if you hit the snake and hit seven inches, you must hit it with one blow to avoid endless troubles, if you easily move the Yan family now, I am afraid that the court will be unstable, what we have to do is to set up the Yan family step by step, do you understand?" ”

Zhao Xueyan frowned, tried to digest Bo Yan's words, and nodded heavily: "One hit!" I see! ”

The two were talking and walking, and Pei Yao suddenly caught up from the fast step and whispered beside Bo Yan: "Niangniang, the prime minister asks to see you." ”

Bo Yan paused, Zhao Xueyan looked up at Bo Yan: "What's wrong?" ”

Bo Yan smiled, pushed Zhao Xueyan and said, "You go back with Mama Yang first, I remember that there are still some things to do." ”

Although Zhao Xueyan was puzzled, she didn't ask any more, nodded and left with Mama Yang.

Bo Yanmu sent Zhao Xueyan away, turned around and walked towards the matching hall.

In the matching hall, Bo Zhongqing stood in the middle of the field, and after seeing Bo Yan, he hurriedly saluted, with a serious expression: "See the queen's mother." ”

"No courtesy." Bo Yan sighed helplessly.

Pei Yao retreated to the door and guarded the door for the two.

Bo Zhongqing raised his head and looked at Bo Yan seriously: "Queen Mother, the old minister has something to do today." ”

Bo Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he had already guessed what his father was going to say.

"I heard that Captain Qian killed the leader of Yao Yu on the orders of Niangniang."

Bo Yan nodded: "He disregarded the law and discipline, shouldn't he?" ”

Bo Zhongqing's face sank a little: "Yao Yu is an official of the imperial court, how can he be killed without asking the reason, the queen is not afraid of telling the truth." ”

"He ignored the dictation of the palace, why didn't he ask the reason."

"Then how did the queen mother live in the palace, how did she contact Captain Qian, and why did he dare to obey orders and kill the courtiers."

"This palace is the queen, and he naturally obeys orders."

"After all, Leader Yao died because of the order of the queen mother, when did the queen mother become so affectionate, and she can be so calm when she sees a person dying!"

Bo Yan was stunned, raised his eyes to look at Prime Minister Bo, and couldn't say what he felt for a while, Yao Yu's death was indeed related to himself, and it could be said that he caused it single-handedly, but he was just for self-preservation, if Yao Yu didn't have the intention of harming others, he wouldn't have lost his life, why should he be responsible for such a situation? 's father is pedantic, even if he is in the position of the queen, he thinks that everything should be based on husband and children, if it is not necessary, he doesn't have to show up, and he personally directed such a play, which is indeed beyond his expectations.

Bo Yan's heart was a little sour, looking at his father who questioned him like this, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Bo Zhongqing looked at Bo Yan steadily, the beard on his chin trembled with his breathing, and he could see his indignant mood at the moment: "The old minister only asked Niangniang, Niangniang did not hesitate to kill Yao Yu to guard the palace gate, why?" ”

Bo Yan's eyes narrowed: "What does my father want to say?" ”

Bo Zhongqing's eyes were shocking, and he hesitated for a long time, but finally said it: "The old minister only asked Niangniang if the edict was written by the first emperor himself!" How did the first emperor die! ”

Bo Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Bo Zhongqing in disbelief.

Bo Zhongqing continued to say in a deep voice: "The old minister has also served by the side of the first emperor for decades, the first emperor's habits The old minister knows it in his heart, there is a small detail that the old minister has never said to outsiders, the first emperor always likes to brush the place where the seal is stamped with his palm, which will inevitably make the seal blurry, every time, but the jade seal on the edict is very clear, the handwriting on the edict is the first emperor's, will the first emperor let others stamp the jade seal." ”

Bo Yan choked, that edict was indeed forged by himself, yes, after he was reborn, he deliberately practiced the handwriting of Emperor Jiahe, for this day, but he didn't expect to make a mistake on the jade seal, of course, this detail should be unknown except for Bo Zhongqing, who has been executing the emperor's order for a long time.
