His Majesty died, the princes and ministers of Quanzhou stayed awake all night, Shen Ao sat alone in the side hall for two hours, everyone should cry and cried, headed by Zhao Zong, dozens of people found Shen Ao, sat down respectively, the top priority at the moment is to manage the funeral and issue the edict. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info..
There are those here who are really sad, and there are also those who have ghosts, but what kind of thoughts they have, they all know that the entire Great Song Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes from now on.
Zhao Zong's grief has not passed, the whole person is in a trance, but the King of Qi finally came back to his senses, knowing that there are still things to be taken care of, King Qi took a sip of tea and asked Shen Ao: "Your Majesty was left alone by His Royal Highness when he was dying, I don't know if there are any last words?" ”
In the eyes of everyone, since His Majesty left Shen Ao, he must have something important to instruct, so when King Qi asked, many people had already pricked up their ears.
Shen Ao was bitter in his heart, and he couldn't tell King Qi that His Majesty was dying with the word Wanshougang!
Shen Ao was silent for a moment, took a breath, and said, "When Your Majesty is dying: Prince Zhao Heng is benevolent and filial by nature, smart and chic. You should follow the teachings of your ancestors and conform to everyone's wishes, that is, the emperor's throne. Let him be virtuous, and do not criticize him. My funeral followed the old rules, to change the emperor, after twenty-seven days, I took off my mourning clothes, worshiped me with vegetarian dishes, and did not prohibit folk entertainment and marriage. Since I succeeded to the throne, the ministers who have been convicted because of the admonitions, those who are still alive have been found to be officials, and those who have died have been given bereavement benefits, released from prison, and reinstated officials. Those monks and Taoist priests, if they want to find out their sins, they will all be dealt with according to the law, and absurd things such as praying to God and laboring the people will be stopped. The people of the world, there are rich and poor, the rich and noble must be tempered, the poor must be compensated, if there is a disaster, the court must be calmed down, and there can be no delay......"
Shen Ao said a lot of things at once, in fact, even he didn't know what he was, halfway through the words, King Qi and the others cried in a low voice, and said one after another: "Your Majesty is sick to the bone marrow, and you can still think about the people, Shengming Rende, I can't wait just in case." ”
It's crying again, the matter is on this, and it's too late to talk about the funeral, but Wu Wencai in the corner keeps giving Shen Ao a look, Shen Ao glanced at him, knowing that he had something to say, so he went out of the side hall, Wu Wencai also followed out, Shen Ao called Yang Jian to arrange a quiet hall, and Wu Wencai went in together, Wu Wencai said impatiently: "Your Majesty has died, please mourn Your Highness, do you want to start planning for the future......"
Shen Ao said lightly: "What's the aftermath?" ”
Wu Wencai said: "Xiaguan has an idea...... He stared at Shen Ao and said word by word: "If the edict is issued now, announcing the death of His Majesty, the crown prince is far away in Bianjing, and he will definitely ascend the throne as soon as possible." At that time, the crown prince is the son of heaven, and His Royal Highness is just a prince, so I am afraid that the outcome will be unpredictable, so why not mourn secretly, while mobilizing the world's army to attack from all sides, besiege Bianjing, and force the prince to ......"
Shen Ao's face was like ashes, and without waiting for Wu Wencai to finish, he scolded: "Nonsense! Shen Ao was obviously very angry, and couldn't help but pick up the tea cup on the table and throw it at Wu Wencai's feet.
Wu Wencai was taken aback, and said unpossessedly: "The next official is guilty of death." ”
Shen Ao looked at Wu Wencai coldly and said, "Your Majesty is dead, and he is not mourned, what should I do with his bones?" The funeral must not be abolished, and His Majesty's bones should be sent to Bianjing as soon as possible and buried in the emperor's mausoleum, which is one of them. Second, the mobilization of Western Xia, Khitan, and naval divisions to force the palace, the world will inevitably fall into war, how can I bear it? Is it to emulate the Rebellion of the Eight Kings? If the matter is not to the end, it is absolutely forbidden to use swords and soldiers, especially the Western Xia and Khitan armies and horses......"
Shen Ao's words are not without reason, once he makes a move, no matter how high-sounding the reason he has, it is a rebellion, and it is to force everyone to the side of the prince. What's more, as soon as the Western Xia and Khitan military horses came out, it would inevitably arouse the disgust of the people of the world, and at that time, the situation would only be out of control.
The important thing is that the rebellion in the palace is the rebellion in the palace, but it is also unacceptable for Shen Ao to let Zhao Ji's bones suffer with him, this is Shen Ao's bottom line, and Shen Ao will never agree to touch this bottom line.
As for whether others themselves are pedantic or stupid, Shen Ao can't care about so much.
Wu Wencai originally thought that with Shen Ao's wisdom, he would not fail to understand the benefits of doing so, and he also thought that the opinions he put forward would definitely be exchanged for Shen Ao's approval, but who knew that Shen Ao categorically refused, which made him lose his mind for a while, so he had to smile bitterly: "His Royal Highness also makes sense, but once he is mourned, the prince will ascend the throne one day, but I am afraid that he will ......"
Shen Ao said lightly: "Let him go, this king only needs to help the coffin into Beijing, what if he is the emperor?" This king is not afraid of him. ”
Wu Wencai said in surprise: "How many military horses does Your Highness plan to bring to send the coffin into Beijing?" ”
Shen Ao said: "Three thousand is enough." ”
Wu Wencai stumbled and said: "Absolutely not, entering the capital is Longtan Tiger Xué, how can His Royal Highness do such a thing as a relative and an enemy?" Even if you don't mobilize the Khitan and Western Xia military horses, why not gather the water division, and then echo with Tong Guan Tong's father-in-law, raise and allocate grain and grass from Quanzhou, lead the army Chen to Bianjing, and force the prince to obey. ”
Shen Ao shook his head gloomily, suddenly sighed, and then said: "Lord Wu, this king is angry, but this king can't restrain himself. Lord Wu is for the good of this king, but this king also has his own considerations. It is not wrong that the three sides and the water division have 400,000 military horses, but don't forget that there are more than 100,000 forbidden troops in Bianjing, 300,000 border troops in Daimyofu and other places, plus hundreds of thousands of troops in various places. There are so many people, and this king is not because he can't make them obey with the power of a sailor. It's just that once the war starts, my Great Song will immediately fall apart. How can I bear it? What's more, once the army is mobilized, the prince will take the righteousness, and at that time, I will be a sinner of the Great Song Dynasty. Rather than this, let this matter be handled by the king alone, maybe the king can be dull, but the gentleman has something to do, something not to do, and something to do, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire have to do it, and if there is something not to do, the knife is on the neck and cannot be done. The current situation, let this king go to Bianjing and compete with the prince. ”
Wu Wencai didn't care about anything, but said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the prince will make the first move, and when he arrives in Bianjing, it may not be His Royal Highness." ”
Shen Ao smiled faintly and said, "When he arrives in Bianjing, he is not alone. Okay, Lord Wu, the top priority now is to immediately collect His Majesty's bones, and three days later, the king will help the coffin to go to Bianjing, and please ask Lord Wu for the funeral. ”
Wu Wencai responded, Shen Ao went back to the side hall, Zhao Zong and others finally came back to their senses at this time, saw Shen Ao come back, and raised the matter of the funeral, Shen Ao replied, and comforted everyone: "This king has ordered someone to send an edict to Bianjing, and three days later, everyone will follow me to help the coffin into Beijing, and Your Majesty's funeral will naturally be done." ”
Zhao Zong nodded, and sat down in a rare precarious position and said, "Okay, just do it, I will support the coffin with Shen Ao, and the rest of the things will be put aside for the time being." ”
However, when many princes heard that Shen Ao had actually issued an edict, they all glanced at Shen Ao curiously, and felt that it was incredible. These people are all old foxes, of course they know that the dispute between the auxiliary king and the prince has reached a white-hot stage, and the auxiliary king can only get the greatest benefit by not mourning, and Shen Ao's action is tantamount to announcing that he has no dissenting intentions, which makes people confused, doesn't the auxiliary king know, even if he has no dissenting intentions, the prince has to get rid of him?
Shen Ao stayed up until dawn, and then slept in the palace for a while, and when he woke up, An Ning and the others had already arrived, and they were weeping at the temporary mourning hall.
Shen Ao went over, knelt beside An Ning, and comforted in a low voice, but he was thinking in his heart, An Ning has someone to comfort, but who will comfort me? My heart was even more melancholy, thinking of the dead man's voice and smile, I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, and cried with An Ning, and then wiped my tears and helped An Ning out.
For three days in a row, Shen Ao did not leave the palace, and the clothes were all asked to be taken back, although the funeral naturally had Yang Jian and others Zhang Luo, but in the past few days, the whole body felt that there was no spirit, and I always felt that my heart was empty, and it seemed that something was missing. After three days of confusion, the coffin has been prepared, the coffin is huge, a total of nine inside and outside, a thousand catties of weight, so there are also special carriages and horses, in order to prepare for transportation, as for the guards into Beijing have also been selected, the princes and ministers are also ready to set off.
When Shen Ao woke up on the fourth day, he remembered that he was going to leave today, and finally cheered up a little, went to the mourning hall first and knelt for a while, and finally put on his filial piety clothes and started to set off.
When the coffin of the Son of Heaven appeared on the long street, Quanzhou was also in mourning, and many people knelt on the side of the road, which was bustling, which made Shen Ao very comforted, Shen Ao thought to himself: If Your Majesty really knows the spring, knowing that there are still so many people remembering, you can also smile.
Since Zhao Ji's accession to the throne, political erosion, Jiān ministers have been in charge, and since then, there have been continuous uprisings in various places, especially the Fangla Uprising, which is even more powerful. But to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Quanzhou, Zhao Ji is indeed a good emperor, he appointed Shen Ao, clarified the maritime politics, expanded the maritime trade, made Suzhou, Hangzhou and Quanzhou prosperous day by day, and the beneficiaries were more than millions? Cai Jing's actions, the people of the world are recorded on Zhao Ji's head, but Shen Ao's actions, aren't the people of Quanzhou and Suzhou and Hangzhou recorded on Zhao Ji? It is precisely because of this holy Son of Heaven that he appointed a virtuous minister to clarify the maritime affairs, so that everyone has today's life, and after the death of the emperor today, the matter of maritime affairs is unresolved, and the new monarch has a faint intention of deposing, so everyone remembers Zhao Jilai even more.
The long street was far away, and there were unconcealable weepings everywhere, and Shen Ao beat the horse in front, which added to the sadness.
