On the day of Emperor Shaowen's funeral, Zhu Yonghong and Zhu Linxi, father and son, took the little emperor Xu Zhenhua to the coffin of Emperor Shaowen in the Shaoqian Palace, and mourned with the civil and military officials.

Because the deceased is the greatest, this time even Zhu Yonghong made a "three kneels and nine knocks" ceremony. From time to time, the officials on the side raised their voices and cried loudly, which shook the sky.

In the end, there were 72 specially trained barmen who used small bars to carry the heavy coffin of Emperor Shaowen out of the Dongxing Gate of Shao Palace.

At the front of the emperor's hearse procession were 64 bannermen, who held high the banner and umbrella of the people, followed by a 1,628-person honor guard, holding all kinds of weapons, flags, and burning, followed by barmen, and finally civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor. There are also some people who keep throwing paper money on the way from the bar to the bar.

In the end, Emperor Shaowen was buried in the imperial mausoleum he built for himself in the early years.

It should be mentioned here that among the funeral objects of Emperor Shaowen, there is the painting painted by Wang Jibao for him.

As a female dependent, Wang Jibao was lucky to dodge, and she only had to cry a few times with the concubines in the palace.

After the burial of Emperor Shaowen, the enthronement ceremony of the little emperor will be carried out next.

Since Zhu Yonghong and his son had been busy with the transfer of troops and food and grass, this matter was handed over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites to prepare.

Several officials of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Jibao is quite familiar with them. They helped Zhang Luo get married to her twice.

This time, when the little emperor ascended the throne, he also had to carry out a large-scale canonization to the outside world. Among them are these concubines in the harem. In addition, it is necessary to reward some heroes who have contributed to this palace change.

In this way, Wang Jibao also followed the busy group. It would be good for her and Zhu Linxi to occasionally glance at each other. This time, in addition to dealing with the placement and rewards of the concubines, palace maids and eunuchs in the harem, she also had to help Xu Zhenhua train the etiquette at the enthronement ceremony.

This child is now very dependent on Wang Jibao, the righteous sister. The reason for this is that Wang Jibao thought about it, but it should be attributed to his insecurity.

Through these days of contact, Wang Jibao feels that in addition to being timid and introverted, this child is actually a very well-behaved and obedient child. It was much easier to take care of him than it was to take care of Wang Xu and Wang Brown back then.

Of course, this is not the same as the mentality when taking care of Wang Xu and Wang Brown, and the method of choosing to take care of them is even different.

Although there was not much that Xu Zhenhua needed to do on the day he ascended the throne, he still practiced quite seriously and repeatedly. It wasn't until Wang Jibao couldn't see it anymore that he stopped practicing the kid and refused to stop. But afterwards, Wang Jibao listened to Hongfu tell her, and the little emperor secretly practiced many times in private.

Wang Jibao once again asked Hongfu to summon the concubines in the harem to the Shaokun Palace, and held another meeting for everyone.

This time, in addition to Mama Lanxiang and Liangchen, the beautiful scenery, the bright sun, and the sunny day standing behind Wang Jibao, there was another Su Mingran.

After these days of exercise, Su Mingran obviously has some more capable temperament.

She took off her palace dress early and put on a relatively clean and simple plain dress. Among the twenty palace maids behind him, one of the palace maids always carried a large purse, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were placed in the purse.

As long as Su Mingran thought of something, or had something to order, the palace maid would help record it.

This person is the assistant selected by Wang Xibao at the suggestion of Su Mingran, which is equivalent to her confidential secretary.

Now Wang Jibao has too many things to manage, and the four of Liangchen and Meijing are also carrying a big purse. It's just that in addition to the brush, there is also an extra carbon bar in the purse. This is reserved for writing in an emergency.

This is the second time that Wang Jibao has gathered everyone in one place. This time it was significantly faster than the last time they were gathered.

After everyone greeted Wang Jibao, Wang Jibao asked again: "This princess thinks everyone has already guessed the purpose of this princess letting everyone come here this time." After glancing at everyone, Wang Jibao continued: "This time it is about the fate of everyone in the second half of their lives, and this princess has also given everyone such a long time to think. Please give Princess Ben one last reply. Concubine Zhang starts with you. ”

Concubine Zhang, who was named, immediately got up and said, "Concubine, but by the orders of the eldest princess." ”

She's relatively old in the middle, and even if it's possible to get out of here, she doesn't know what she can do. What to live by. Over the years, she had gotten used to everything here.

Wang Jibao nodded, this was expected by Wang Jibao. So he turned around and gestured to Su Mingran. Su Mingran immediately registered Concubine Zhang's name on a roster and wrote her wishes.

Next up is Qu Zhaoyi. She said worriedly: "The concubine is still very young, the concubine doesn't want to be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life, if possible, the concubine wants to get out of the palace." ”

After Wang Jibao nodded, she didn't say anything immediately, and asked Zhaoyi to sit down first.

She then asked a few more people of higher rank.

The names and ideas of these people are also recorded on different rosters.

This is Wang Jibao's last chance to give everyone. Originally, the last time she decided to teach this group of people who didn't dare to fight for themselves a huge lesson, so that everyone knew that their fate could only be fought for by themselves.

In Wang Jibao's cognition, the opportunity is in front of you, and if you fight for it, you will have half the chance of success, but if you don't fight for it, you have no chance at all.

But when I went back and thought about it, the women here were educated with three conformities and four virtues, and they knew obedience from birth. So, very few people will resist. This thinking is deeply ingrained. This made Wang Jibao deeply feel the helplessness of a certain celebrity who was angry at that time.

Fortunately, this time there are still a few people who have fought for various opportunities for themselves. Let Wang Jibao feel that her efforts have not been in vain. In fact, Wang Jibao wants those young and fresh women to go out from here, remarry, and live the life of a normal ordinary woman. Although her thoughts and practices are actually more deviant.

After the important people here expressed their wishes and thoughts, Wang Xibao went to the back to rest, and let Su Mingran and the others disperse to record the rest of the people.

Some of the thoughts of the palace maids and eunuchs in the Shao Palace, Wang Jibao asked Hongfu to send someone to collect and sort them out a few days ago.

After the thoughts of these concubines in the harem came together, Wang Jibao also made a final decision on them.

Zheng Guiren, who first proposed to go home, Wang Jibao gave her a certain reward and asked her to issue a new identity certificate. From then on, she can start a new life of her own.

This time, Wang Jibao also asked someone to arrange a way out for them.

For the remaining palace concubines of the grade, Wang Jibao intends to add "Tai" to each person before the title, and add one level above the original grade.

They were not arranged to hold a vigil for their ancestors, nor were they ordained. Instead, they were sent to the royal palace quite far away from Shaojing after Xu Zhenhua's enthronement ceremony, so that they could spend the rest of their days there.

The palace maids and eunuchs wanted to leave, but Wang Jibao asked Hongfu to give everyone a severance pay and let them out of the palace. If there are those who want to follow their own sons to the royal palace, as long as their original masters agree, Wang Jibao will also approve them.

There are still a large number of helpless palace maids and eunuchs who have no way out. In addition, there are a large number of auxiliary departments such as Yuefu, Imperial Dining Room, Tai Hospital, Internal Affairs Office, etc., as well as management departments at all levels that have too many personnel and need to be reduced. This Wang Jibao decided to wait for his Zhan Mansion to be established before solving it.

Three days later, Qin Tian supervised the auspicious day, which was the day when Xu Zhenhua's enthronement ceremony was held.

Early in the morning, Xu Zhenhua burned incense and bathed, wore plain clothes, and accompanied by Zhu Yonghong and other civil and military officials, he first went to the Taimiao Temple to worship his ancestors.

"Worship the ancestors!" The enthronement ceremony was presided over by the Ministry of Rites Shoshu himself.

Xu Zhenhua was a little nervous and glanced behind him. Although he knew that Wang Jibao would not be there to look at him, he still habitually glanced at him.

Before he came here, Wang Jibao encouraged him: "Brother Hua, don't worry, my sister will be waiting for you in Shaokun Palace." Also, you've practiced so well that you don't have to worry about it at all, you know? ”

Xu Zhenhua turned his head, clenched his small fist, took a deep breath, raised his head and walked towards the Taimiao.

"Kneel!"

Xu Zhenhua knelt on the bright yellow cushion seriously, and respectfully kowtowed to the tablet of the royal ancestor above. This is the first time he has come to Taimiao, and it may not be clear if there will be such an opportunity in the future. And this place will also belong to someone else's ancestral hall in the near future.

"Wear a dragon robe for the emperor."

Because Xu Zhenhua is only eight years old, there were some spare dragon robes that were suitable for adults to wear, so the dragon robe he wears now is for him to step up the restructuring.

You must know that a delicate dragon robe cannot be completed without three years and five years. Because of the urgency of time, in the end, Wang Jibao decided to change the adult dragon robe to a smaller size.

Under the service of the inner servant, after Xu Zhenhua put on a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, all the ministers except Zhu Yonghong knelt down in unison.

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The Ministry of Rites shouted: "Licheng! ”

Then bells and drums rang out to celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne. Because it is still in the filial piety period of Emperor Shaowen, the time for arranging music is not long.

After the music, the ministers returned to the Shaozheng Hall under the leadership of Zhu Yonghong, and sorted them according to their current official positions.

Then, Xu Zhenhua, accompanied by Hong Fu and other attendants, slowly walked up to the high platform, and then slowly turned around and sat on the dragon chair that symbolized supreme power.

The Ministry of Rites shouted: "Worship"

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! The crowd knelt down again and shouted long live.

Xu Zhenhua's majestic palms waved upwards and said, "All Aiqing is free of courtesy!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Then Prime Minister Liu Changlin held a brocade box containing the jade seal of the country and presented it high, and said to Xu Zhenhua: "The emperor ascends the throne, and the ministers are respectful of the imperial treasure." ”
