August 15, the seventh year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, is the ancient Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of reunion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This year is also a day of mourning, national mourning, national mourning.

It has been more than three days since the death of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse, and the coffin of the first emperor is still placed in the emperor's bedroom Qianqing Palace, as a place for hanging and guarding the soul before entering the mausoleum.

On the second day after the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Jin Yiwei assisted the eunuchs under Wei Zhongxian and began to convey the news of the emperor's return to heaven in the capital.

At the same time, an obituary was published to inform the world of the emperor's death, so that the people of the world could mourn for the emperor.

During this period, the capital should send fast horses to carry obituaries, and in the shortest possible time, the news will be sent to the state capitals at all levels of the Ming Dynasty and the royal family and princes.

Under the leadership of the cabinet, the officials in the capital wore white linen mourning clothes and went to Sishanmen as the first emperor to mourn for three days with the courtier's courtesy.

In the funeral rites of the Ming Dynasty, women with more than three grades of life were required to wear large-sleeved round-necked robes and sackcloth, which is commonly known as wearing linen and filial piety.

She went with her husband to Shansimen to weep for three days.

The etiquette after the death of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not very complicated, and it is also divided into some relatives and relatives, and the capital is in the center of the state funeral.

It only takes three days for orthodoxy to mourn, and after three days, you only need to wear twenty-seven days of plain clothes to show your sorrow for the emperor.

This is only a rule for officials in the DPRK and China.

The people of the capital do not need to wear mourning clothes, they only need to wear plain clothes for 27 days.

In the territory outside the capital, the time for the people to wear plain clothes will be shortened, and it will take a total of thirteen days.

The rules for local officials, the kings of the clan and the officials of the capital are similar.

It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty will not be too strict about some etiquette requirements, and its degree is extremely simple compared with previous dynasties.

It is a good example for all dynasties in China to learn from it, especially the plane where Li Mu is located.

In some places, weddings and funerals are simply inferior to those of the Ming Dynasty emperors.

Three days later, just like ordinary people's homes, the official funeral of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse is over, and the rest only need to be parked in the Qianqing Palace for four days to make up for seven days.

That is, what the folk call the first seven.

After the first seven days, the funeral officials of the first emperor of the Ministry of Rites can carry Zhu Youxiao's coffin out of the Qianqing Palace and bury it in the mausoleum prepared in advance.

However, it will have to wait until the first seven days later, and the most important thing at present is to read out the edict of the first emperor to confirm the new emperor.

In the words of the minister, a country cannot be without a king for a day.

After the three-day official funeral, under the leadership of the cabinet ministers, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty wore plain clothes and lined up in the Taihe Palace, waiting for the edict of the first emperor.

Determine the new emperor.

This day was also the first time that Li Mu officially appeared in the center of the Ming Dynasty's power, witnessing the opening of the historical drama he led.

However, Li Mu did not rank in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but as the commander of the emperor's army, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he stood on the right hand of the dragon chair with a treasure sword.

Wei Zhongxian stood on the left hand side of the dragon chair.

In addition, not far to the right of the dragon chair, there is also a small phoenix chair, which is specially prepared for Zhang Yan.

The position where Li Mu was standing happened to be between the two seats, and he would arrange it like this, because he was afraid that Zhang Yan, who was going to the court for the first time, would be nervous.

With the dragon chair as the center, from each step of Danbi, there are two brocade-clothed guards wearing plain flying fish suits, which extend to the outside of the Taihe Hall in a fan shape.

Until the Fengtian Gate, it is also the Taihe Gate.

Since there was no emperor on the dragon chair, the reigning Manchu civil and military officers could only pay homage to the queen sitting on the phoenix chair.

To show reverence for imperial power.

Under the leadership of Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, the visit to the court meeting began: "The ministers see the queen's mother!" ”

Since the new emperor has not been officially confirmed, Zhang Yan cannot be called the queen mother yet.

Seeing the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty paying homage in unison, the beautiful queen sitting on the phoenix chair was obviously stunned, and the beautiful eyes looked at Li Mu who was standing on the side for help.

Feeling the beauty queen's nervousness, Li Mu smiled slightly and nodded to show encouragement, at this time he can't do anything instead, he can only rely on the beauty queen's own calmness.

Encouraged by Li Mu's smile, Zhang Yan seemed to have confidence, and said calmly to the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces: "The Qing's family is exempt. ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

After thanking him, Wei Zhongxian's minion Huang Liji stood up from the squad and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, the first emperor has gone, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day. ”

"The queen is tired of asking for the edict of the first emperor."

After the cabinet minister Huang Liji finished his courtesy, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on top of the court like the wind blowing onions, begging the queen to take out the edict of the first emperor.

Li Mu, who was standing on the steps, looked down at the Manchu civil and military forces who were kneeling down below, although there were some courtiers who did not know the situation.

In this environment, you can only follow the crowd, after all, it is to ask the emperor to leave an edict.

Feeling that the heat was almost over, Li Mu glanced at Wei Zhongxian, asked him to prepare the holy decree to be read out in a while, and turned his head and nodded to the beauty queen.

Zhang Yan, who received Li Mu's signal, took a deep breath, and then said to the Manchu civil and military officers who knelt on the ground: "Since the ministers are like this, the palace will no longer shirk it, and Gonggong Wei will read out the edict of the first emperor." ”

"No!" Wei Zhongxian responded at the right time and took out the prepared edict.

Standing in the middle of Danbi, he unfolded the edict of succession, and said to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military: "The edict of the first emperor, the ministers listen to the edict." ”

"The ministers welcome the edict of the first emperor."

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict: I am in.... After the mercy of Zhang.. The youngest son of the king of love and faith is the crown prince,...... Succession to the throne. ”

Li Mu listened to Wei Zhongxian standing on the Danbi and reading the edict in a low voice, although he asked him to prepare the edict, he was also dizzy to hear it.

But the general meaning Li Mu understood, the beginning was the Ming throne inherited by Zhu Youxiao at a few years, what's the matter, and then I feel that something is about to die.

Thinking that the queen in the harem is alone in the world, without a single heir by her side, and thinking that he has no heir, it is really sad, and I am ashamed of my ancestors.

That's why I want to believe in my brother and win love from the king.

The eldest son of King Xin, Zhu Cihong, was succeeded to Zhu Youxiao, as the heir to the throne, I think my younger brother King Xin would not mind.

This child is passed on to me, and the king can give birth to many children in the future, in short, the king still has a chance, but he has no chance.

However, thinking that the crown prince was young and did not understand the government politics, he specially allowed the queen Zhang to handle the government affairs from the side until the new emperor became sensible.

Then return the imperial power to the new emperor.

As a result, Zhu Youxiao thought about it, as if he had seen so many examples of harem chaos in history, as if he had seen it vividly.

Empress Zhang, don't blame me for being suspicious.

Therefore, I decided to appoint four ministers to assist the new emperor during the new emperor's childhood, and they were the four ministers of the cabinet Huang Liji.

It's just that I'm afraid that the ministers will bully the young master, and this orphan and widow can't obey the people.

Hereby, I let my two good ministers supervise the country from the side, one is naturally my good minister Wei Zhongxian, who has been very attentive to manage the government for me in the past seven years.

He is relieved that he will supervise the country from the side.

The other is a good talent named Li Mu, who is now the commander of the Jinyi Guard of my own army, and he and Wei Zhongxian are in charge of the country together.

I was relieved.

After thinking about it, this arrangement is the most satisfying for me, after the return of the dragon to heaven, the ministers must love each other and assist the new emperor.

I have no regrets. (To be continued.) )
