The footsteps outside the dormitory paused slightly, and then immediately became chaotic, Lu Chengqing, Hu Songnian and other important officials of the court all poured in, and when they saw Fang Tianshi kneeling and crying, they forgot to salute the Queen Mother, the Empress and others, and slammed on the ground and let out a cry that sounded grief-stricken. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For a while, the cry shook the sky, and gradually spread to the side hall next to it, almost all the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards nearby understood what was happening, they fell into a huge panic, Your Majesty is gone, what kind of future will greet them?

After showing off a wave of acting skills according to etiquette, these important ministers of the court stopped crying and began to discuss the important things to be done next, Li Gui's mountain mausoleum has not yet been completed, and the progress of the project must be accelerated; how the funeral should be held, who will serve as the envoy of the mountain mausoleum, who will serve as the ceremonial envoy, and the arrangement of important positions such as the envoy of Lu Bo and the envoy of the bridge and the don of the bridge; And now that the imperial court has encountered major events one after another, the household department has long been empty, where should the money for the funeral come from? There are a number of problems that can be a headache.

"According to the ancestral system of the Great Wei Dynasty, the envoy of the mountain tomb is served by the prime minister, the Taichang Siqing is the ceremonial envoy, the imperial history is the honor guard, the military department is the secretary of the army, and the Chengtianfu Yin is the bridge and the don envoy." These imperial courts have already set rules, and within a few years of the death of the first emperor, the queen mother still remembers these very clearly, and directly issued the will, Yang Jiefu, Yuan Rukui, etc. have received the decree.

"As for the money?" Thinking of this, the queen mother also frowned, in these years, the emperor died, Li Gui succeeded to the throne, Haoshuichuan was defeated, and the royal driver was mourned...... And so on this series of things need to cost a lot of money, not to mention the household department, even the palace treasury does not have much silver, and then Li Gui's funeral and the new emperor's succession will cost money, the queen mother can't think of a way for a while, so she can only push this matter back, "Look at how much silver there is in the household department and the inner treasury, use it first, and then think of a way in the future." ”

If he can come up with a way, the household department will not be empty like this, and what makes him feel even more terrible is that the king who is currently the most likely to succeed to the throne has not yet got married, which will be a huge expense, and these things add up to make him suddenly have the urge to return to his hometown.

"The Ministry of Industry is also speeding up the progress, and the mountain must be repaired as soon as possible." The mausoleum of the Son of Heaven was first called a mountain, and later changed to a mausoleum, and now it is collectively called a mountain mausoleum.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Bi Cheng were in a similar mood at this time, how could they speed up the construction without money and food? Don't the people who built the mountains need to eat, and don't they need money for materials such as boulders and trees?

"And Qin Tianjian must choose a good day as soon as possible...... The General Secretary announced to the world when His Majesty was on the line......" Another series of instructions to arrange the questions raised by the ministers just now, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes swept over the ministers accordingly, "Now that Your Majesty has not given birth to the crown prince, the candidate for the succession should also be discussed." ”

"I'll follow the Queen Mother's arrangement." Yang Jiefu takes retreat as advance, anyway, the closest relationship with Li Gui is now King Yu, and the queen mother will also take King Yu to live in the palace when he drove the last royal expedition, and it is expected that there will be no other candidates.

"This matter is very important, you are all important ministers of my Great Wei, you don't need to be taboo too much at this time, you can speak out." Although the Queen Mother had already guessed the thoughts of the ministers, she didn't dare to be sloppy and continued to probe the way.

"This is a royal family matter, and it is difficult for us to say anything as foreign ministers, and I ask the Queen Mother to decide." Yang Jiefu and the others pushed the topic back again, and the queen and Wei Shiliang on the side looked at Li Gui, whose bones were not cold, and endless sourness surged in their hearts.

"The heavenly family has no selfish affairs, and it is not trivial to establish a new monarch." The Queen Mother glanced at Li Gui, who had just choked his last breath, Da Wei can no longer withstand the toss, if such a guy is erected again, then Da Wei will be finished, "You are all great talents of the country, and you can see it clearly than a woman from the mourning family." ”

The two sides pushed back and forth, and finally returned to Yang Jiefu, he coughed lightly and said, "Queen Mother, now among the many clans, the closest to Your Majesty is King Yu." Seeing that the Queen Mother did not show a look of dismay, but made a gesture of listening, Yang Jiefu knew that she had not changed her previous thoughts, so he continued, "King Yu is benevolent by nature, and if he becomes the unification, he will definitely become a generation of Ming monarchs." ”

"Hmm." The Queen Mother nodded slightly, then looked at the other ministers; Lu Chengqing, Hu Songnian and others had already discussed the matter in Yang Jiefu's mansion, so they echoed one after another, and for a time praised King Yu as a holy monarch who chased Taizu Taizong.

"The mourning family thinks that His Majesty has handled political affairs a little over the years... Some are too impatient, and King Yu is stable and generous, which is just right for the current situation of Great Wei. Seeing that no one refuted, the Queen Mother also stated her position, and finalized the candidate for the new monarch, "Pass the decree and summon the king to the palace." ”

"The ministers obey." The important minister endured the joy and agreed, and the situation today was surprisingly smooth, and he put the king on the throne without receiving any hindrance; King Yu is still very young now, and the Queen Mother doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of foreign courts, even if she listens to the government, the major affairs in the court are still their final say, and now there is no Xun Gui led by Qiu Yuande to get in the way, and the court of the Great Wei can be said to be under their control.

Lu Chengqing and Yuan Rukui personally took the holy decree to the palace to welcome the king into the palace, and under the escort of the most reliable soldiers, the king who had just been awakened from his sleep went to the palace without experiencing any twists and turns.

"The son knocks on the Queen Mother." When the ignorant King Yu saw so many people gathered in the palace, he was not only a little flustered, but also quickly knelt down and saluted.

Hey? Why is the royal brother still lying in bed and not getting up? And why do these ministers look like they've just cried? King Yu's heart was full of doubts.

"Your imperial brother died today, and the ministers strongly recommended you to inherit the throne, and the mourning family also means this." Before he could figure it out, the Queen Mother's words exploded in his ears like thunder, shocking him so much that he didn't know what to do for a while.

Fortunately, the long history of the palace was also by his side, and he whispered a few reminders, and the king immediately came in shape, according to the ancient rites, and finally received the decree of the queen mother under the unanimous persuasion of the ministers, and became Li Gui's successor.

In the early morning of the next day, countless fast horses rushed out of the capital, spreading the news of Emperor Li Gui's violent illness and death yesterday night to every corner of the Great Wei, up to the capital and down to various prefectures and counties. (To be continued.) )
