Chapter 380: The Death Knell
Yang Mu listened to Yinzhu and suddenly remembered what Diao Shan said last night.
This is too coincidental!
Dr. Lu never married, but his mother said that she wanted to see her granddaughter.
Mrs. Cao muttered to herself, saying that she would not let the father and daughter see each other, and the grandchildren would see each other......
And Dr. Lu is the sitting doctor of Cao's Medical Center......
Yang Mu looked at Yin Zhu slyly and said, "You go and check on Dr. Lu from the Cao Family Medical Center, I suspect that this is the Cao family's father!" ”
Yinzhu gasped, looked at Yang Mu with a verifying gaze, and when he saw Yang Mu nodding, Yinzhu's eyes burst into light, and he turned around and left.
Yang Mu rubbed his hands, hehe, if this matter is proven, the Cao family and Mrs. Cao are afraid that they will not be able to raise their heads in this life.
Yang Mu smiled like a little fox in the duty room, while Cao was angry like a puffer fish in Yong'an Courtyard.
"What do you say? Silver Frost is not in Chengqi Hospital? ”
Cao was a little incredulous.
The maid who replied said: "The slave maid spent a tael of silver to find out from the Chengqi Courtyard that on the day Yinshuang went, she was taken away by the princess. The little man who guarded the gate said that they had gone out on horseback together and never came back. ”
Cao Shi frowned and sat on the chair, puzzled, not knowing where Yang Mu took Yinshuang to?
You can't sell people, do you?
If it is a seller, it should be called to buy a person, why take it out in person?
While the Cao family was struggling, a fat maid walked in and saluted: "Princess, the slave maid did not find the silver bell in Fuhai Courtyard. ”
She entered Fukaiyuan in the name of delivering pastries, and after looking around, she didn't find the silver bell.
It stands to reason that when Yinling heard that the people of Yong'an Temple went to Fuhai Temple to deliver things, he should have waited in a conspicuous place.
But not only was there no one visible in the eye-catching, but she even found a wording and walked around the Fuhai Courtyard, but she didn't find the silver bell.
Cao's chest was jammed, and he reprimanded: "Won't you spend money to inquire?" ”
The fat maid looked innocent and said, "The slave has no silver." ”
Cao was about to scold, and suddenly remembered that this maid was promoted after Yinling left, and there was indeed no silver to put on it.
She was not angry enough to let the fat girl give the fat girl two taels of silver and let her inquire, while she waited angrily.
The fat girl was not slow on her legs, and quickly bought the news back.
"The mother-in-law who guarded the door of Fuhai Courtyard said that a tooth woman came last night and quietly took the silver bell away!"
Cao Shi suddenly looked at the fat girl and asked, "Took it away?" Where did you take it? ”
The fat girl blinked her little eyes, shook her head and said, "I don't know, the doorkeeper didn't say it." ”
Cao was so angry that he didn't know how to scold talents, so he assigned another thin and tall mother-in-law to inquire.
The mother-in-law came back soon and replied: "The Ya Po who bought the silver bell is from another county, and the old princess specially explained that they should go out of the city this morning and calculate the time, but I am afraid that they are already halfway there." ”
Cao gritted his teeth, the dead old woman, she dared to harm me!
Without Yinling and Yinshuang, even Zhou Rui's daughter-in-law is in Chengqi Hospital.
Zhou Rui was originally a domestic slave in Dingwangfu, not her direct line of marriage, and it was easy to handle it with her family.
Now that Zhou Rui's family is not under his control, Zhou Rui is afraid that he will not really do things for himself.
Cao closed his eyes and took a few breaths slowly, opened his eyes again, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Tell San Lang that Zhou Rui is not doing things well, remove the position of Zhuang Tou, change the position of Deputy Zhuang Head Huang Han to Zhuang Head, and then let Huang Han come to see me!" ”
Most of the villas in Dingwangfu are in charge of his son Lin Shan, so this order has to be issued through his son.
Seeing that the mother-in-law was leaving, Cao said, "Wait, let Zhou Rui do something for me again." ”
The mother-in-law came up with her ears pinched, and after listening to Cao's instructions, she lowered her head and hurried away.
Cao sighed, Huang Han is her companion, although he has taken the position of deputy head of the village, his ability to do things is really not good.
If she couldn't control Zhou Rui anymore, she wouldn't be willing to give up a real person like Zhou Rui.
Cao's employment of people, the capable are naturally the best, but when the capable are not sure, she would rather use the incompetent.
This may be because she was born in a small portal, and her vision and style are too small, but she is still a cautious eye.
When the Cao family finished seeing Huang Han and asked him to inquire about the whereabouts of Mama Chen and the others, and let people go out of the house, the bell tower rang.
Dingwang's Mansion is located in the inner city, not far from the bell tower, so the bell is very clear in the ears.
Cao didn't think it was at first, thinking it was just telling the time.
When he heard the bell ringing, he suddenly realized something, and immediately stood up, walked out of the door, and looked in the direction of the bell tower.
The personal grandmother who had just been brought up stood beside Cao and said, "Princess, it's already twelve." ”
Cao Shi looked at the direction of the palace in a daze, if the bell kept ringing, then it meant that the emperor had died.
The emperor died, the whole country mourned, and the death knell was 30,000.
Palace.
Yang Mu took the decree and stood up.
The father-in-law who delivered the decree didn't have time to greet him, so he walked out quickly and rode away.
Bai Yao took a step forward, looked in the direction of the bell tower, and asked, "Deputy Commander, is it the death knell?" ”
Yang Mu opened Yi Zhi, looked at the colorful flying phoenix above, and said, "Yi Zhi suddenly asked us to strengthen our vigilance, and the palace cannot enter and leave freely. This death knell keeps ringing, it should be a national funeral. ”
The little emperor still didn't resist it, and he had already died.
Yang Mu put away the decree and said: "Order, from now on, close all the gates of the palace, only the south gate, and everyone in the palace is not allowed to enter and leave at will!" ”
Bai Yao took the order.
Yang Mu looked at the direction of the palace, was the queen mother of the two palaces afraid of King Huan's rebellion, or was she afraid that someone would use Concubine Shu's mother and son to make trouble?
The five-year-old Emperor Longxing died, the whole city was su, the ministers knelt down, and the dynasty was suspended.
Wenchen is resting, but the military generals are busy.
The Yang family and the Lin family guarded the perimeter of the capital, the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division guarded the capital, and the Imperial Forest Army guarded the imperial city.
At the funeral of Emperor Longxing, the empress dowager of the two palaces announced the candidate for the new emperor - the second son of the regent, six-year-old Li Yi, as the new emperor.
However, the clan and some courtiers came forward to oppose it, believing that Li Xi, the youngest grandson of King Huan, should be appointed emperor.
There are also some old ministers who believe that Li You, the widow of Emperor Xi Bao, should be enthroned.
At one point, there was a lot of noise at the funeral.
The queen mother of the two palaces had to handle the state funeral while discussing the candidate for the new monarch.
But the kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, and a new king must be chosen before the funeral, and the enthronement must be completed.
The funeral of Emperor Longxing was held a month later.
When Mrs. Bao came back from outside the city, it was when the whole city was hanging white cloth.
The old lady sighed and let the carriage stop at the gate of the palace.
Yang Mu came out and met Mrs. Bao in the carriage.
Looking at the unlucky old lady with a big bag on her head, Yang Mu couldn't say anything.
Mrs. Bao glanced at Yang Mu with resentful eyes, and then sighed: "Another national funeral." ”
First Emperor Cargill, then Emperor Xibao, then Emperor Xiaorui, and now Emperor Longxing.
No matter how prosperous a country is, it cannot withstand such a state funeral and the large-scale ceremony of the enthronement of a new king.
