The more Zhu Houzhao is about to make a big event, the less his brain will be flustered, in a sense, it is like the whole person has been penetrated, and it is impossible to stop this matter, just think about what to do next.

"Let's go to the Qianqing Palace first." Zhu Houzhao commanded.

Recently, many things in and out of the palace are his ideas, and the emperor lies down to rest, but when it comes to such a big event, as long as the emperor is still panting, he can't help but show his face, otherwise he can't talk about it from filial piety, so no matter what, he still has to go.

In the Forbidden City, white cloth was hanging everywhere, and Zhu Houzhao was wearing a white filial piety robe made of raw linen, and when they arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, they happened to watch the palace maids and eunuchs gluing white cloth to the wall.

The prince went to the palace without saying a word, but before he reached the inner room, he heard Emperor Hongzhi shouting: Change clothes!

Zhu Houzhao pushed open the door and went in, and sure enough, he saw a weak emperor bending over on the edge of the bed, he didn't care about any salute, and went up directly to support him, "Father!" ”

When Emperor Hongzhi saw that his son was dressed in filial piety, and it was so real when he grabbed it in his hand, he couldn't help crying with grief in his heart anymore.

……

……

After daybreak,

The courtiers also received news one after another. Like the death of the Empress Dowager Zhou, it is not only as simple as crying and crying nose, but also Beijing officials, local officials, and internal and external women must also wear mourning clothes, and officials and people are not allowed to marry...... Wait, there are a lot of rules.

But how do the people know when someone will die in the Forbidden City? So it's going to be the world.

In addition, it is necessary to set a name, funeral rites, etc.

Zhu Houzhao accompanied the emperor and the queen to the mourning hall to worship, and after crying for a while, he couldn't close his eyes, the emperor was weak, and under such great compassion, he fainted again.

At this time, the courtiers also entered the palace, and the three ministers of the cabinet were all persuading: "Your Highness, at this time, the emperor is uncertain, and His Royal Highness needs to come forward to stabilize people's hearts, please ask Your Highness to mourn a little, and the ministers still have many things to ask Your Highness to decide." ”

In this way, Zhu Houzhao's body was taken from one place to another by this group of people as if it did not belong to him, and now he was going to Fengtian Hall again.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Liu Jian began to gush, "Your Highness, there are a few things to do right now. The first is to announce the mourning edict to the world, mourn both inside and outside, and remember the former Empress Dowager. the second is to follow the ancestors' practice to give the first empress dowager the good name, Feng'an Yuling; Third, after the funeral, the god of the former empress dowager should be enshrined in the Fengci Temple. ”

Zhu Houzhao heard it clearly, these literati are actually the most unsentimental and pay attention to the Taoism of etiquette.

The first and second are fine, and it is very routine to announce the news and draw up the name. The key lies in the third point, the temple of bongci. This Fengci Hall was specially built by Emperor Hongzhi for his biological mother Ji, because she was not the original queen of Emperor Xianzong, so she was not allowed to enter the Fengxian Hall and Taimiao.

Now that the Empress Dowager Zhou is here, no matter how majestic you were during your lifetime, Chenghua and Hongzhi have also reached the top for 40 years, who can be proud of 40 years in life? But what does it mean that people are still the same when they die?

- You are not the original queen of the orthodox emperor, so you can't enter the Fengxian Palace, and you can't enjoy the Taimiao.

The key Emperor Hongzhi was still very sad at this time.

Having said that, Emperor Hongzhi misses his biological mother very much, he is a person who lacks love, how can he not miss his mother who everyone praises her demure? But even so, there can only be another Fengci Temple.

Fengci Hall is just west of Fengxian Temple.

So close, yet so far away.

Zhu Houzhao is not suitable to fight for this thing at this time, it is already a mess, they quarrel again, Emperor Hongzhi heard that it is estimated that he can be annoyed to death, and this is not a very core point.

But without saying a word, it's not right to just nod your head. Bong-Ci and Bong-sien... You have a mouth, and the black doesn't mention the white, and that's it? When I'm so foolish.

Zhu Houzhao remained silent, and first arranged and said: "The Ministry of Rites will preside over the funeral and draw up the funeral. The nickname is also difficult for everyone, the chief officials of the six ministries and Jiuqing are here, and they still hurry up and draft, so that Wang Shangshu can write and draft the edict. ”

When everyone heard what the prince meant, their hearts suddenly trembled, because the prince did not all accept Liu Gelao's words. What does that mean? Got dissatisfied?

Liu Jian is also a delicate and clear person, and when he saw this, he could only be silent first and wait by the side.

"How do you draw up a nickname?" The prince urged.

Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Li Dongyang hurriedly walked out with his head down, and said: "Xieshi Zhaoxiang is said to be filial piety, Gangdeke is said to be Su, and the innocent and observant festival is said to be chaste ......, so the minister thinks that the title of the Empress Dowager can be set as Xiaosu Zhenshun Kang Yiguang Lie Fu Tiancheng Holy Empress." ”

】

After all, Li Dongyang is a university scholar and a talented man who became famous as a young man, and as soon as he makes a move, he basically doesn't need to change it.

That's it.

Zhu Houzhao began to ask: "Just now, Liu Ge Lao said that the Empress Dowager was going to be enshrined in the Fengci Palace. Liu Ge Lao, what does kindness mean? ”

This question is simple, I used to say 'family kindness, family kindness', Ci is the meaning of mother, which is why there is this Fengci Temple.

"Kindness is the meaning of mothers."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Since it is the mother's intention, but the former empress dowager is also enshrined in the Fengci Palace, is this inappropriate?" ”

"Your Highness. "Zuo Biography" has clouds, love at the top and love at the bottom. Although Ci has the meaning of a mother, it is also in line with the love of the Empress Dowager to Her Majesty and His Royal Highness, so the minister thought that he could be enshrined in the Fengci Palace. ”

This explanation is a bit strong, according to this explanation, there are many loving people, all of them are stuffed into the Fengci Temple?

Zhu Houzhao smiled lightly, "In order to make future generations puzzled, why did my father enshrine my grandmother in the Fengci Palace, just write down Liu Ge's explanation." ”

Liu Jian's face darkened, how can I still carry this matter?

At the end, the prince also said: "The beginning and end of the Fengci Hall and the Fengxian Palace, the main palace knows. Bengong only had a slight doubt, so he asked Liu Ge Lao to explain. ”

That's what I said, but that's not what people think.

Doesn't that mean that you don't want to fool me easily, my prince knows many things.

On the nineteenth day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, a generation of noble concubines who had gone through so many eras of orthodoxy, Jingtai, Tianshun, Chenghua, and Hongzhi finally went.

Throughout the life of the Empress Dowager Zhou, she has nothing to do with the words "Knowing the Righteousness" and "Mother's Rite World", as the concubine of the orthodox emperor, she has always had thoughts about the position of the queen, and to put it mildly, it is a bit like the vicious female No. 2,

And she really wanted to be buried with the emperor, but according to the rules, it was true that only the queen could be buried with the emperor. At that time, Zhou's mother was more expensive than her son, and she was very aggressive, and the fight really made her change this ancestral system.

Starting from her, the biological mother of the Empress and the heir emperor of the Ming Dynasty can be buried with the emperor. Therefore, the final destination of Empress Xiaosu Zhou is Yuling.

This kind of funeral is nationwide, from the official to the people, from the people to the army, it can be said that the world is plain, Zhu Houzhao next to him is not worried, he is worried that there are people in the border area who are ready to move.

According to reason, it is best to summon all these people to the capital for an interview, but at this moment, the actual conditions obviously do not allow, so they have to retreat to the second, so after arranging the funeral, the East Palace has a will to summon Mao Yu into the palace.

The crown prince walked around in front of a huge map with his back on his back, and behind him knelt the same Mao language covered in plain clothes, "...... Every time, when there is something particularly troublesome about this palace, it is always the first thing that comes to mind. Everyone else said to Bengong, this talent, that talent, recommended to recommend and go, and the most convenient one to use in a few years is you, the cell leader. ”

"Your Highness has an overreputation, and the minister just understands His Highness's intentions and then acts according to his will."

Zhu Houzhao turned around and asked with a smile: "This is also true and not true." Let's just say that there are so many smart people in the world, don't they understand the meaning of this palace? ”

Mao Wenyu lowered his head, "They have all kinds of careful thoughts, not as pure as ministers." The minister's greatest concern is to do a good job of the mission assigned by His Royal Highness. ”

"You have done a good job in Zhejiang, it should be said that you have not done anything badly. Say, what reward do you want? ”

"I don't dare."

"Don't dare, it's not that you don't want Now that you've thought about it, I'll say it. ”

Mao Wenwen thought about it, "The minister wants to ask His Highness for some silver to support the envoy." ”

"Don't be an official, you will lose your money." Zhu Houzhao scolded him with a smile, and then beckoned Liu Jin over, "Go get eight thousand taels." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Mao Yuyu was a little happy in his heart. He has killed many corrupt officials under his own hands, and he also knows where the prince's bottom line is, but to be honest, the official is big, the pomp is big, sometimes he can't do without silver, he wants silver, on the one hand, to solve his own urgency, on the other hand, it is also to let the prince know his little habits.

"I called you here this time to ask you to go to Datong and Guyuan separately. The Empress Dowager died, and soon after, the soldiers and civilians in the frontier land would also wear plain clothes, and the father and emperor had been ill for a long time, which would inevitably make the Tatars move evil thoughts, and then make some rumors to spread demagoguery. And the border army has repeatedly reported a few years ago, and it is inferred that the Tatars will be Koubian in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, but they are not strong anywhere, so they naturally want to find a time when my Ming monarchs and ministers are unable to take care of the north. Originally, it was enough to find someone to deliver the letter in this matter, but this time the palace hoped that the border army could work together to fight back, this is not a trivial matter, and if it is not for the cronies of the East Palace, they dare not make that determination. ”

After hearing this, Mao Wen was encouraged and trembled, "Weichen obeys His Royal Highness's order!" ”

Zhu Houzhao picked up the teacup, paced and thought carefully, and when he was at the door of the hall, he thought of another sentence, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Mao Wen turned his butt and knelt at him in a different direction.

"You are the best at figuring out the meaning of this palace, you don't need to say more superfluous words, in short, you have to pay attention to it, at this time of great change, if the enemy intends to promote, it will disturb the hearts of our army. So when you go, you have to tell them that no matter how the capital changes, my Ming Dynasty still has the prince of the palace! ”
