Xiao Ruyan covered her face and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and when she put down her sleeves, she was the queen of the world again, Xiao Ruyan's voice was a little hoarse, and she said abruptly,

"Let's go, the courtiers outside the palace are still waiting."

Xiao Ruyan turned around and returned to the center of the hall to inform everyone about the matter, and Li Xinghe followed silently behind her. Happy events turn into funerals, and tonight is another sleepless night.

Everyone knelt down one after another to express their grief, and the funeral was naturally handled by the queen and the Ministry of Rites.

On the night of May 27 in the first year of Jingtai, Emperor Wu died at the age of 43 and was buried in Changling, enjoying the Taimiao.

Later, there are historical records: when Emperor Wu was in power, he fought in the south and in the north, expanding the territory of Tianlan to the south of Fengming Mountain. Be diligent in government and punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Attaching importance to the development of agriculture and commerce, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment for decades.

Although his throne is obtained by usurpation, the author believes that his merits are greater than those who have demerits, and he is regarded as a Ming monarch. Later, it was rumored that Emperor Wu set up a wordless monument in front of his mausoleum, so this is a merit and demerit to be left to future generations to comment.

Qin Tianjian selected a good day and auspicious day to be buried, the yellow forging gold Dhara Sutra was embroidered with bronzing Sanskrit, the coffin made of gold silk nan wood was brushed with 7749 lacquer, after the coffin was covered, the era of Li Jun was over.

After the funeral, the coffin was parked in the Taiji Palace, and the Danjing of the weaving gold and nine dragons was placed outside the hall, and Li Xinghe and others were dressed in mourning clothes in front of the palace, and the national funeral was announced to the world.

Wang Xi took out the edict after the Zhengda Guangming plaque, read it in a straight voice, and returned to normal after a pause for half a second.

Li Chengren immediately questioned it, but was pressed down by Xiao Ruyan, and His Royal Highness's courtiers were in an uproar. Although there were objections, they could only be suppressed in the bottom of their hearts, and only the people of Li Chengren's faction were in turmoil.

Li Jun suppressed Li Chengren's faction for a long time before his death, but he did not want to leave the hidden danger of his relatives interfering in politics and balance internal affairs.

Most of the remaining courtiers in the court still stood in a neutral position, so only a dozen ministers jointly opposed it.

But this is still a hidden danger for Li Chengde, once a son of heaven and a courtier, so they can't stay.

To Li Xinghe's surprise, at this time, it was Xiao Ruyan who took the lead in shouting,

"The will of the emperor, those who do not obey it will be punished with rebellion."

Li Chengren opened his mouth, his face was incredible, Xiao Fu's surprised expression at this time was also on his face, he didn't expect his daughter to speak to others one day.

As soon as Xiao Ruyan said this, the hall instantly fell silent, and everyone passively accepted this fact. It's just that there is no foundation behind Li Chengde, and there is no support from his mother's family, so it is difficult to sit on the throne.

Also shocked was Li Chengde himself, the probability of his father passing the throne to him can be said to be very small, so only his sister is operating in the dark.

Could it be that she tampered with the edict without permission, and if she was accidentally discovered, it would be a capital crime to be hanged, Li Chengde couldn't help but worry, and his eyes were a little panicked to search for the direction of Li Xinghe.

Li Xinghe knelt on the ground with his waist straight, not caring at all about the suspicious gaze of the ministers. The edict is true, but she only added a stroke, and it is difficult for people to see the clues.

Receiving Li Chengde's gaze, Li Xinghe winked at him, even if the matter was revealed, she was ready to die.

If Li Chengren ascends the throne, he will not be able to escape the fate of death, it is better to hold the initiative in his own hands, and he should always gamble.

Li Xinghe lowered his head, closed his eyes, clasped his hands, his bones turned white, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

Li Chengren was unwilling, and wanted to blame Li Chengde for the assassin's incident, so that they would not be able to escape the death of their father, and who would support a monarch who killed his father and ascended the throne at that time.

Just as he wanted to say something, Xiao Ruyan got up and a sharp palm wind hit him, and with a snap, the sound echoed in the main hall.

Li Chengren's words were suppressed alive, and his eyes were full of shock, this was the first time that the queen mother slapped him since he was a child.

The ministers also bowed their heads and bowed their bodies, and the hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard, who dared to involve the royal family.

Li Chengren, who had lost face in front of everyone, covered his cheeks that were a little red, got up and exited the hall.

Xiao Ruyan's heart was also uncomfortable at this time, if he couldn't block his mouth, then there would be no bargaining chips in the next negotiations with Li Xinghe, and with Li Chengren's means, the city government would not be as good as Li Xinghe at all.

She could be sure that if Li Chengren blamed Li Chengde for the assassin's incident, then Li Chengren would definitely die.

Although she has lived in the Changfeng Hall for a long time and has not come out, it does not mean that she is deaf and blind, and she has been paying attention to the movements of the previous dynasty but will not interfere.

She knows very well what Li Chengren did, which is why she doesn't want her son to ascend the throne.

Everyone saw that Empress Xiao had already expressed her position, and the neutral ministers led by Ji Zhao also shouted,

"Welcome to the new emperor."

At this point, the matter of the throne can be regarded as the dust has fallen.

Although Li Xinghe played some tricks, it is indeed unfilial and unrighteous from the perspective of a bystander. But whether it is from the overall situation of himself and Tianlan, Li Chengren is not the best candidate for the new emperor.

The funeral of the first emperor has happened, Li Chengde hurriedly ascended the throne, and set off a bloody storm in the previous dynasty, and the first to bear the brunt of it was Li Chengren's faction.

However, the Xiao family has a deep foundation, and it is difficult to uproot it for a while, so Xiao Fu will continue to be his minister.

Li Xinghe continued to nest in the Chongming Palace, but after thinking about it for a few days, he always felt that Yuan Qi's affairs were not over, and when he was about to go to the Taiji Hall to remind Li Chengde a few words, he saw the citrus of the Changfeng Hall rushing over.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother is invited."

Xiao Ruyan is the queen of a country, and Li Jun will naturally be promoted to the queen mother after his death. It's just that how much real power the Queen Mother still holds in her hands, Li Xinghe doesn't know, so she can only wait and see what happens.

"Then it's troublesome for Aunt Citrus to lead the way." Li Xinghe said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Li Xinghe walked all the way to Changfeng Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs on the palace road knelt down, but they didn't have such treatment when they walked outside before, this is the turn of feng shui.

Li Chengde ascended the throne, and Li Xinghe's status naturally rose, and even the people who led the entire Chongming Hall were straight outside.

Pushing open the door of the palace, there were only a few palace maids left in the courtyard of the Changfeng Palace cleaning the fallen flowers on the ground, the silence was abnormal, and it looked very bleak.

The sound of wooden fish tapping in the hall added a bit of worldly feeling to the silent scene.

If Xiao Ruyan can live his life, then what is the difficulty of spending his old age in peace, I think this Xiao Ruyan is also an infatuated poor person.

Cardamom was already a famous talented woman in Beijing, and she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which can be regarded as an example for the nobles. The art of war and strategy are also taught by Xiao Fu personally, and he deserves to be a female gentleman.
