Chapter 100: No Ifs

After receiving Li Feng's notice, all the shops in Youzhou wondered, what to do with a large number of stored materials?

There was a trustee who could get in touch with Youwangfu to inquire, but he didn't find out anything, and the inside information was tightly sealed by Li Feng.

The reason for the blockade of inside information is simple, once these businessmen know the inside information, they will definitely go to the bottom of the bank to prepare supplies at all costs.

The result of this is often the fall in prices, and this will not be a long-term thing, can only be earned once, when the goods that have not been sold are piled up, which is a drag on the merchants, and then affects the development of Youzhou.

Although Li Feng was not a finance major in his previous life, as a special forces soldier on a global mission, he saw many bankrupt capitalists, and most of the reasons for bankruptcy were due to uncontrolled greed.

After the news was announced, Li Feng asked people to build a ring, and those who wanted to take revenge fought first and selected the most powerful, otherwise Li Feng couldn't stand it if they came in waves.

Youzhou began an intensive plan to make money.

In the capital, the ministers are preparing for the funeral of the former emperor, and although he has not yet ascended the throne, Li Yuan, who is already the actual ruler, is the presiding officer.

This is also the process after the death of the emperors of all dynasties, first keeping filial piety, then holding a funeral for Emperor Daxing, and then ascending the throne.

When Li Rong died, the years were not very big, only in his forties, and there were only three adult princes, and these three people were only Youwang Li Feng, and Li Ye, the king of Jin, stayed in the capital and did not settle for the domain.

In the Zichen Palace, Zhao Yan and the officials of the six ministries were discussing with Li Yuan whether to recall Li Feng to attend the funeral of the emperor.

According to the past practice, when the first emperor died, the vassal kings who were outside had to come back to guard their filial piety, because this was the love of father and son, and no one could take it away.

But when Li Yuan was in power, everyone could see that Li Yuan didn't want Li Feng to come back, in fact, it wasn't just Li Yuan, they didn't want Li Feng to come back.

"My brother Li Feng is still in Youzhou, it stands to reason that his father died and he should be allowed to come back, but his father had an order before his death, and King Youwang was not allowed to return to Beijing unless he was edicted. What should we do? ”

Zhao Yan was the first to come out and say: "Since it is the edict of the first emperor, it is not easy for us to violate it, let the king of Youzhou worship in Youzhou, believe in his filial piety, the first emperor will definitely be able to feel it." ”

The others don't have much hatred with Li Feng, but Zhao Yan does, and he is still a captain, so this is the most appropriate for him.

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, but there was still a sad look on his face: "I also want to worship with my brother, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, so I can only do so." Come on, send a message to King You, inform him of the death of his father, and let him worship in Youzhou. ”

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and found that the eunuch standing next to the dragon chair was a eunuch with a raw face, and the chief eunuch who had been following Li Rong was gone.

"Where did Grandpa Hai go?"

The little eunuch knelt down and said, "The first emperor died, and Gonggong Hai was so sad that he fell on the bed and couldn't afford to be sick. ”

Li Yuan sighed: "Father-in-law Hai is the most confidant person around his father, pass on the imperial doctor, give Father-in-law Hai a good life, and make sure that he gets better as soon as possible." ”

"The slave is grateful for His Royal Highness Gonggong Hai."

Hearing the little eunuch shouting His Royal Highness, Li Yuan was a little dissatisfied, but he quickly hidden, he knew that he actually had no foundation in the court, and he needed to come step by step, before cultivating the power, even the people around him before the emperor could not be changed.

Zhao Yan was keenly aware of Li Yuan's emotional changes, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, the first emperor was weak, and the son he gave birth to was not successful, and the only difficult Li Feng was far away in Youzhou, and he could expand the court in the future.

Father-in-law Hai was not there, so the will for Li Feng was handed over to the little eunuch to write, and then sent to Youzhou as soon as possible.

Funerals continue to be held here in the capital.

The death of the emperor is a state funeral, the specifications are very high, the process is very complicated, first of all, a small funeral, to the deceased emperor to wear a longevity clothes, and the children have to cut off part of their hair to express their condolences to the emperor.

The small burial was followed by the big burial, and the price of the emperor's body was placed in the coffin. This step of the procedure requires all high-ranking officials in Beijing to come to pay respects to the body of the former emperor and bid farewell.

After the high-quality officials finished paying their respects, they closed the lid and then placed it in the Zichen Hall to indicate the end of their lives.

During this period, the new emperor had to worship three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and the ministers of the clan, the prince and the princess had to come to mourn.

The most important step was for the imperial court to inform the world of the death of the emperor and mourn the whole country, in addition to sending the news to neighboring countries.

After the coffin is stopped, it is necessary to choose an auspicious day for funeral, and then choose an auspicious day for burial.

However, the burial is not the end, and for two years after the burial, the clan is not allowed to hold marriages and banquets, and the people of Beijing must wear plain clothes for 100 consecutive days, and they cannot play music to marry.

During the first three months, the color used for the new emperor's imperial approval must not be red, but blue, and the seal must also be changed to blue.

The whole process was cumbersome and lengthy, and even alleviated some of Li Yuan's sense of joy as emperor.

Before proceeding to the big funeral, Li Feng, who was far away in Youzhou, received the will of the Jingshi. According to the regulations, Li Feng should travel ten miles to the suburbs to greet him, and then greet him from the suburbs to the yamen and then kneel down to receive the holy decree.

It's just that Li Feng has always been lawless, and even his emperor father doesn't like to kneel, and kneeling a eunuch is even more of a joke.

Therefore, the eunuch who passed the decree had no choice but to go to the yamen and set up the incense case, but before he could read the holy decree, the holy decree was snatched by Li Feng, and he read it at a glance and ten lines.

"Your Royal Highness, that is Your Majesty's will."

After Li Feng read the news of Li Ei's death, the whole person was stunned, why did he die suddenly? The last time we met, wasn't he in good health?

"Grandpa Wei?"

Wei Dongting came out of the shadows, Li Feng threw the holy decree to him, and after Wei Dongting read it, his face, which had not moved, finally showed a trace of surprise.

"Your Majesty is dead?"

"Isn't my father in good health? How could it suddenly die? ”

"In fact, Your Majesty's health has always been bad, and he has been receiving treatment from the imperial doctor all these years, but he has only suppressed the condition and has not been relieved."

Hearing Wei Dongting say this, Li Feng sighed helplessly, birth, old age, sickness and death, the way of nature, even if he is as noble as the emperor, he can't change this fact.

Wei Dongting walked to the eunuch who passed the decree at this time: "Your Majesty has died, and all the princes will go back to Beijing to mourn, why don't you let King You go back?" ”

"This? Father-in-law Wei, the small one is just a messenger, I really don't know. ”

Li Feng said: "Don't think about it, it must be my brother who doesn't want to see me, since he won't let me go, I will hold a funeral for my father in Youzhou, and my father will definitely feel it in the spirit of heaven." ”

After Li Feng finished speaking, he turned around and left, Wei Dongting looked at Li Feng's back, and suddenly felt his strong sadness, Wei Dongting showed a trace of regret at this time, if he was talking about Li Feng at the beginning, would he be able to go back to see His Majesty for the last time now?

It's just that there are no ifs in everything.
