Since the ministers are so loyal, Li Wanjiang is also very relieved, and naturally he will not seriously cut off the good heads of Aiqing, it is just an angry word.

After wiping away his tears and lamenting a few times, he barely bothered himself and began to take care of state affairs.

The death of the Queen Mother is also a state affair, and it is the first thing to deal with.

This kind of thing is complicated and complicated, and it is simple to say that it is simple, so it can be done directly in accordance with the regulations of the previous Han dynasty, and anyway, all dynasties and dynasties are almost the same.

The royal funeral is definitely different from the folk, the death of the folk's parents, that is to keep filial piety for three years and one day, not to mention the common people, and the court officials at all levels are also the same.

Whether you are a first-class officer or a last-level junior official, a general, a marshal or a lieutenant, as long as your father and mother are gone, you will have to go home and guard filial piety for three years, and only after three years can you come back to ask the court to do things again.

Of course, the vacancy of your official position within three years must not be vacant, and someone will inevitably replace it, so after many people come back, they will not be able to reinstate their official positions, and they can only wait for vacancies like Chen Ziang, and it is not necessary to wait for when.

And although their level will not be lowered, it is not certain that they will be short. For example, it was originally a prefect of Jiangnan County, but it turned out to be the lack of Weizhou County, all of which were four-grade prefects, but the circumstances were very different, so I asked you if you would go?

I definitely don't like to go, but I have to go, because if I don't go, I want to pick and choose, I hate the poor and love the rich, and I don't obey the management of my superiors.

Such examples abound, so most officials are actually unwilling to worry about the system, for fear of losing their fat and never being able to sit back.

There are even people who have received a letter from their family to report the funeral, but they pretend not to know, and even worse, the family is obviously alive, but they claim to be dead to the public...... Similar things abound.

Anyway, there are regulations above, they have countermeasures, as long as they do it secretly, they can hide it from the world.

They don't want to keep their filial piety to their parents, and they have to be sneaky and be thieves, but being the emperor is an open-minded exploit of loopholes.

For example, the queen mother was killed, and the emperor should also keep filial piety for three years, but because the country cannot be without a king for a day, it is impossible for the emperor to ignore the government for three years, so those courtesy officials came up with a brilliant idea called 'changing the sun for the moon'.

To put it simply, the emperor was supposed to keep filial piety for three years, but after changing the concept with the word game of the sun and the moon, as long as he kept the thirteen days of filial piety in theory, it would be fine.

Is it fun?

Not surprised?

Anyway, Xiao Chen thought it was fun, and he said in his heart, didn't he want to cover it up? In fact, you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want, who dares to say that yours is not?

But if you have to go to great lengths and rack your brains to come up with such a ridiculous excuse, you don't know who you are fooling?

The emperor also has to wear filial piety clothes within thirteen days, and the same is true for the civil and military ministers in the court, but it takes thirteen days for the emperor to 'remove the clothes', but the courtiers can take them off in only seven days.

There is also the death of the Queen Mother, although it is customary to announce it to the world, but the governors and governors from all over the country do not have to go to Beijing to mourn, which is also reasonable.

Because the queen mother is generally going to be "buried" and "dressed" within ten days, ten days, even if the funeral is 800 miles expedited, it will not be all notified, and it will take at least more than a month to wait for the governors and generals in those remote areas to come back.

By that time, the body of the Queen Mother will be very maggots, can you afford to wait? And after they come back, you can't dig up the queen mother and hold another funeral, right?

It's not good.

In fact, Li Wanjiang also knew all this, but he still patiently listened to the rambling of the funeral ministers, and then said that he was ready to play.

The funeral matters are all arranged, and the process begins.

The first item is naturally to read out the Queen Mother's 'testament', which is actually a suicide note.

The Ministry of Rites read it out in person, reading it in a low tone and frustration, the words were clear, the emperor who listened to it had tears in his eyes, and wiped frequently, the ministers looked solemn, their eyes were slightly red, Li Wanyun, Li Shi's uncle and nephew also made a choked sound from time to time, and the scene was generally very touching.

But Xiao Chen could hear with his nose that this so-called 'testament' was definitely not written by the Queen Mother herself, because the content was particularly lofty, and it was all a vain routine to exhort the emperor to put state affairs first and the world first, but I don't know which Hanlin it came from?

The emperor is really, this matter can be handed over to the minister, if the minister writes, it must be better than him, and it is more realistic than him......

What a fake this!

The next thing is to discuss the name of the Queen Mother, the name of the Queen Mother should theoretically be 'God-given', even the emperor is her son, who else dares to give the name to her?

But of course, it has to be discussed and formulated by the emperor and the ministers, which is called giving it to heaven.

In fact, the earliest nickname was two words, but later the emperor wanted to add a little more glory to his wife, so there were more and more nicknames, so that there were more than a dozen words......

"The minister thinks that the Queen Mother is the mother of the world, and benevolence and filial piety are the first, so there should be a word 'benevolence'." Chen Wenqi spoke first.

"What Lord Chen said is extremely true, the queen mother is filial piety to her ancestors, and she is kind to the emperor and prince, and the minister thinks that the word 'ci' should be added." Lu Jing said.

Xiao Chenxin said that the old witch is kind and fart, if she means the minister, it is more appropriate to replace it with the word 'scourge'......

The ministers spoke one after another, and in an instant, they came up with more than a dozen lofty nicknames for the queen, what Xuankang Dunhui, what Mu Jingtianguang, anyway, it is always right to pick the best words.

But they deliberately did not mention the word 'Shengcheng', which was reserved for the emperor, otherwise could it show the emperor's filial piety?

"I thought it was better to add the word Shengcheng, the Queen Mother was holy and sincere, and she should also deserve it." Sure enough, in the end, Li Wanjiang made the final decision.

So the nickname is Shengcheng, filial piety, Xuankang, Huidun, Mu Jingtian, Guangxian, Empress......

Originally, the sad atmosphere was just right, and the discussion between the monarchs and ministers was quite harmonious, but there were such uninteresting people who came out to find death at this time!

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music!" is talking about Xu Haiming.

"What's going on with Aiqing?" Li Wanjiang didn't know what Xu Haiming was going to play, so his face was gentle and his tone was gentle.

Xu Haiming took out the piece and opened it, and recited it in public with an expressionless face.

At the beginning, he said that 'the ministers heard about the dictatorship of their relatives, and the local retorts were all out of their own mind, and the officials did not dare to make peace.'

It can be said that there is no king, and the domineering is extreme, such as my heavenly court, the husband and the king, the son of heaven, and the destiny of heaven, he has faked the hand of authority, acted recklessly, and did great disrespectful things and everyone was silent, which surprised the ministers!

Li Wanjiang's face was still gentle, wasn't it? As soon as he heard Xu Haiming say the word "relative", he immediately straightened his face, and when he heard the words behind, his face turned pale, and his hands tightly grasped the handle of the dragon chair, his green tendons were exposed, and he was full of anger.

But Xu Haiming didn't notice the emperor's anger at all, he only concentrated on bowing his head and reading his folds, as if no one was around.
