In the face of the nameless fire of the phoenix evil, for the first time in his life, Ji Mo was eager to defend himself, and he replied almost at the same time as the phoenix evil spoke: "It's not this king!" ”

This sentence was exported, everyone was surprised, when did the prince show such an urgent side, the former princes were stable and dignified, thinking of the words 'steady and dignified', everyone looked at the two people in the field The eyes also changed a little, is it really as the neighbors said, the prince and Feng Gongzi are really like that... Pederasty?

Regardless of what Tongguan Town looks like for the time being, the Empress Dowager, who has always been healthy, suddenly announced a consultation with the imperial doctor, and the news did not reach Jimo for the first time, so it can be said that there is almost no rumor from the government and the opposition.

It's just that just a few days later, on the day when the sky was a little dark, the news of the Queen Mother's world caught everyone off guard, and the news reached the palace in the middle of the night, when the prince was in the study to review the issue of the enclosure under the jurisdiction of the state capitals in the next few months.

It was Kyoche who sounded the death knell, boom.. Boom.. The sound sounded in the imperial palace of the capital, and the death knell in the middle of the night seemed to ring in the vast and empty sky, and it seemed to ring the decline of a huge dynasty that had a century-old foundation.

The sound of the bell spread for hundreds of thousands of miles through the heavy dark night, and the bells of the neighboring state capitals echoed each other at the same time, as if it was the gloom of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building, almost everyone in the world could hear it, because of this surprise, the government and the opposition rioted overnight.

Just as the bell rang from all directions, a household in the capital was lit up all night, and the depleted kerosene lamps were like a dazed old man whose life was exhausted, and the catastrophe was coming, and a breeze followed, blowing out the last bit of light.

Inside the room were several men standing in unison, and on the ground there were three young women kneeling beside the bed, and the old man who had passed out on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

He listened to the bells from far and near, swept over the children and grandchildren present one by one, and the corners of his mouth were a bitter smile that lingered in the world, and he opened his mouth to stop talking.

"Father, this is.... Voices came from the Imperial City. ”

Before the youngest son could say anything, the eldest son pulled him behind him, leaned forward and said, "Father, we are all fine, my father has gone over there, if you see your mother, you must remember to say the apologies you have made clear before you die." ”

“...... What kind of sound is that? "I looked at the top of the bed with my eyes open, and there was a simple plain curtain with only a thin layer.

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally asked these few words, but the men present were flickering, their eyes dodged, looking at their father who fell into a dead ash after returning to the light on the bed, and several people couldn't tell whether they were blaming or helpless.

The old man finally said that he wanted to see his little granddaughter, and the younger son called the sons and nephews of the house, and in the last journey of his life, the old man was very pleased with the company's company, and when he was dying, his dim and cloudy eyes finally shed a drop of crystal clear tears.

The people in the house did not dare to cry loudly or do funerals, because of the sudden death of the Queen Mother, no matter who has a red and white banquet in Beijing, they must be put aside first, and most of them are handled privately at home, and they are just hastily handled.

The person who died left this place that once existed in a short time, and may have left a wonderful moment, but once he entered the earth, he was separated by yin and yang, and then he was safe.

The old man who died at the same moment with the revered Empress Dowager was Yang Shi, who was located in the remote area of Beijing, who had lectured in Taifu in the early years, and was half of the master of the first emperor.

"Daddy! When you are dying, you are still thinking about the ruthless and unrighteous woman in the palace, where will the children's mothers go! ”

Holding his father's gradually cold body with both hands, the eldest son finally couldn't hold back the sadness accumulated in this half of his life, and sat down in front of the bed and cried in a low voice.

The low sobs gradually turned into suppressed faint weeping, and the death of the father made the whole room grief, their father could not tell whether he was great or low, and he relied on his own teaching and preaching to support his family all his life, and only knew how to work hard, like an old scalper with selfless dedication.

"Big brother, don't cry, there are people from the government on the street who are looking for it, and they will come to us soon, or at the request of my father before his death, let's burn it!"

Yang Zhong, who was ranked second, stepped forward, there was no joy or anger on his face, he grew up in such a family since he was a child, which made him more and more sentimental and not sad and unhappy all day long, and he was incompatible with this earthly world.

Under the persuasion of a group of brothers, in the end, his father's body was temporarily wrapped in ice, and then hidden in the cellar in the courtyard, not because the sons were unfilial, but because the emperor of Jimo clearly stipulated that the royal wedding banquet and funeral banquet were all exclusive to me, regardless of life or afterlife, the courtiers were not allowed to hold their own family banquets during the state banquet, but also to highlight the supremacy and inviolability of imperial power.

Despite this, the court and the central government also tacitly agreed that the people could privately settle marriage and funeral matters among the people, as long as they were not discovered by the officials and did not collide with the royal affairs.

The Empress Dowager's good daily supervision of the prince's attendance at the early dynasty has always been well-maintained and radiant, and the hospital has no record of the Empress Dowager's medical records in the last three months, and this sudden news has made everyone uneasy.

In a majestic palace that still can't be covered, Aunt Ji, who serves daily by the Queen Mother's side, has a sad face, and she personally sets the Queen Mother's favorite hairpin ring jade cui in a delicate small box, and with the Queen Mother's body converges into the coffin.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, without any warning, Zhou Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, calmed down in a panic, thinking that this palace is now all in charge of the prince Lang and the queen, and the queen is not in charge of things in the palace all the year round, in the eyes of outsiders, it is in name only.

The Ministry of Rites hurriedly summoned all the princes and princes of all the feudal domains to return to Beijing, whether it was Jimoyang who entered Yucheng or the prince who grasped Tongguan Town, they were all waiting for the edict in the palace, waiting for the opportunity to set off to return to Beijing for funeral.

But a few days later, the edict on the Queen Mother's world is no news, now the emperor is not in the court, all matters need the prince Lang nodded and agreed, the queen mother's palace is covered with white, the prince stood in front of the queen mother's coffin and knelt down, incense to worship.

There are also people in the court who have killed the prince, and there is news that the prince has not issued an edict to the king of the vassal to enter Beijing, and the prince rarely shows up since the death of the queen mother, and the affairs in the palace are handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, and the queen can approve it.

Le Zhengyu looked at the creed handed over by Jimo Yu, raised his head and stared: "I don't know if the Queen Mother's life is artificial, but the ugly things that the prince did when the emperor was in a coma, no one objected to it, and no one proposed impeachment, which is really strange." ”

"My father has been in power for many years, and now he has been away from the capital for a long time, and the prince's unscrupulous style is even more arrogant. After all, something has happened, although the queen mother supervised the administration of the prince when she was alive, but in order to protect the world of Jimo, she also regarded the prince as the future prince. ”

Ji Mo threw the note in his hand into the brazier, and then tied the note written on one side to the white pigeon's leg, and watched the white pigeon fly so that he could no longer see before retracting his gaze.

"Does that mean that this incident has nothing to do with the crown prince?" Le Zhengyu said the guess in his heart and looked at Jimo.

"The prince must not be stupid enough to kill a person who can preserve his position, if the father returns to the capital in the future, then even if it is for the sake of the queen mother's face, he will not deal with the prince, and the prince will not think of this."

"That still doesn't explain why the prince acted so perversely?"

After listening to Jimoyu's words, Le Zhengyu once again said the doubts in her heart, she always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, or something was wrong between these things, and she couldn't say what went wrong.

"Behind the prince, there must be someone!"

Jimo stood still in front of the window, and said lightly, Le Zhengyu felt as if some mystery was gradually unfolding in his heart, revealing his true face.

"Then the prince is like this, and no one in the palace can cure him? Let him run rampant in the palace like this, after all, those harem women are innocent. ”

Since ancient times, those women have either been the hope of the family, or they have been directly sent to the palace as pawns, and they have not yet understood what youth is, but they are no longer cardamom in a change led by others.

What a sad thing this is, she is a weak woman, but she has to endure such humiliation, if she is outside the palace, I am afraid that at this age, she is fantasizing about her future husband in her innocence, right? Now that he has entered the deep palace, he has not seen the emperor's side, and his body has been trampled.

Perhaps what awaits them is not fine clothes and food, but the redemption of death! The emperor went out of the palace to play for many days, and he only brought a guard and a little girl who could use poison with him, these people in the past, they must not have been able to enter the emperor's eyes, and they all said that this world is impermanent, which is really not wrong at all.

The funeral process in the palace did not drag on in the slightest because several princes were not in the imperial city, but the queen led the concubines to chant for the queen mother every day.

The saddest fear is that the queen mother has been waiting for the auspiciousness of her life, auspicious is the old man in the queen mother's palace, has been close to the service, the queen mother's size is suitable for the auspicious hands.

Although the other maids and eunuchs in the Queen Mother's palace are also full of fear, their legs kneeling in front of the Queen Mother's coffin are trembling, but anyone who has something to do with the palace will secretly find the next master for themselves, after all, according to the court practice, the people who are close to the Queen Mother are to be buried alive together.
