Li Jing is now controlling the government and will definitely be the emperor in the future, and it is inevitable to eradicate the forces that oppose Li Jing, especially the forces behind Li Xian's wife and concubine, and Li Xian's children may threaten Li Jing in the future, and they must all be eradicated.

Now that Empress Wei and the others are left in the Eastern Capital, they must have hatred for Li Jing, which gives Lai Junchen and others the opportunity to frame them!

So Lai Junchen and the others decided to write to Li Jing and weave some charges against Wei Hou and others, and try Li Jing's attitude first.

Soon, Lai Junchen and others played the table, and it was sent to Otsuka Zaifu, Li Jing's bookcase.

After Li Jing saw it, he had to sigh that Lai Junchen was worthy of being a cool official, and his scheming was really deep, and he fabricated a few charges against Empress Wei, which were enough to kill Empress Wei, and then whip the corpse.

After Li Jing saw it, he threw it aside, for the time being, he didn't want to touch Empress Wei, he stayed in the eyes of the Eastern Capital, and reported to him every day, and Empress Wei had been keeping to himself in the Eastern Capital.

Since Empress Wei is in the eastern capital, he will be merciful and let go of this woman.

Lai Junchen and the others still have to dry it again, if you want to tame these cool officials, you have to use both grace and power to have a significant effect, otherwise, these guys will definitely bite back.

At present, the most important thing is the funeral of the Queen Mother, at this moment, the Assassin History, the Metropolitan Governor, the Metropolitan Governor, and the Metropolitan Protector are all on the way to Chang'an, and send off the Queen Mother with rich gifts.

The funeral matters of the Queen Mother will be handed over to the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China to deal with, and the Ministry of Rites will issue funeral rites, so everyone can do it according to the above etiquette!

Therefore, the funeral of the Queen Mother does not need to be done by Li Jing, but Li Jing does not agree to bury Wu Zetian in the Zhaoling Mausoleum, saying that the person who died violently is easy to disturb the first emperor when he enters the imperial mausoleum, and it is not suitable to be buried together.

Li Jing ordered someone to find another place to bury, in order for Zhaoling to be completely closed, Li Jing decided to make a decision against his grandmother, dig out his grandmother, bury her in Zhaoling, and posthumously crown Concubine Xiao Shu as the queen.

Before reburying Empress Xiao, Li Jing took people to Zhaoling and learned that there were many treasures inside, and Li Jing ordered people to take out all the treasures inside.

Not for anything else, mainly because he was worried that Zhaoling would attract tomb robbers in the future, so that his grandparents would not be disturbed by tomb robbers, he could only tearfully take out these treasures and transport them back to his Otsuka Zaifu, all so that Zhaoling would not be stolen.

These things are carried out quietly, Li Jing doesn't want to move the world with his filial piety!

After going back, Li Jing looked at the form submitted by the Ministry of Rites, how much money was tens of millions of yuan, Li Jing shook his head, and said to the officials of the Ministry of Rites:

"The Queen Mother has always been thrifty, how can she be so extravagant and wasteful, this funeral cost is too big, how much treasury money will be consumed, the Queen Mother will not like it, and the expenses must be cut!"

The official of the Ministry of Rites arched his hand and said, "Your Highness thinks how much should be cut?" ”

"Well, it's just 300,000! After all, she is the queen mother of a country, so she can't be too shabby, so as not to make people laugh!"

The corners of the official of the Ministry of Rites twitched, the dignified Empress Dowager of the Empire, the funeral expenses were only 300,000 yuan, isn't this shabby?

There is no oil and water to be fished, and all kinds of expenses, which do not need to spend money, as well as the governors of various states, the governors of the capital, etc., and the envoys of the vassal countries come to Chang'an to mourn, and they don't need money to eat, drink, and Lazar.

You can't let them figure it out on their own!

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is ......"

An official of the Ministry of Rites stood up and asked Li Jing to add some more money, but Li Jing directly interrupted him.

"What, if you think it's still too much, then reduce it to 200,000 yuan!"

Everyone was speechless for a moment, and they didn't dare to speak anymore, and if they opened their mouths again, they were afraid that they would have to pay out of their pockets.

"Since everyone doesn't object, do you have anything else to do?"

Li Jing asked.

"Your Royal Highness, this is a funeral list for the Queen Mother, and I would like to ask Your Highness to take a look."

Cui Yuanzong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, handed the funeral list to Li Jing.

Li Jing took it and took a look, good guy, they are all rare treasures, how much is this worth, and how many tomb robbers will be recruited in the future?

Do you want the Queen Mother and her old people to live in peace after they die?

Of course not, this king must not allow such a thing to happen, these treasures are the source of evil, and they must be disposed of.

"The Queen Mother has always been thrifty......"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites looked confused, the Queen Mother was thrifty, they didn't know anything about it, extravagance and waste were almost the same, as the Queen Mother of the Jijian Maniac, Mingtang alone was a project that exceeded the establishment system, and the money was like running water, and it had nothing to do with thrift.

“…… I have decided to send these treasures to my palace and have them kept by this king!"

Li Jing continued.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were speechless, they had really never seen such a shameless person, as a prince of the royal family, how could they do such a shameless thing.

Don't even let go of the funeral goods of the dead, are you still not human? Of course, they wouldn't say that.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites had no choice but to succumb to Li Jing's obscenity and coercion, and arrange funeral matters according to Li Jing's wishes.

Li seemed to know that the funeral after his mother's death was so shabby, and even the funeral goods were detained by Li Jing, crying and fainting on the toilet.

Five days later, the coffin of the Queen Mother was officially transported to the cemetery chosen for her, and the civil and military officials gathered in the Daming Palace, ready to send the Queen Mother on her last journey.

Six guards carried the coffin out of the main hall, and the ministers fell to their knees, wailing and crying to each other.

Looking at the heart-rending civil and military officials, Li Jing was confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

As for crying so sadly?

It's not that you are dead old women, and Wu Cao's old lady has nothing to do with you, meaning, it's not enough to fake a cry, is it necessary to cry like this?

There are many ministers who beat their chests and feet in tears, and some ministers even cried so much that they almost turned their backs.

This made Li Jing very confused!

But how did Li Jing know that these people were not crying about the Queen Mother, but money.

In order to hold a funeral for the Queen Mother, Li Jing repeatedly emphasized that he should be frugal without losing decency.

The most important thing is that Li Jing also cut expenses, and the 200,000 yuan he originally promised to give was reduced to 10,000 yuan.

There is no money, there is a way to have no money, but Li Jing disagreed, saying that Wu Cao is the queen mother, how can it be regarded as representing the face of the Tang Dynasty, and the funeral cannot be too sloppy.

But what if you don't have money?

For Li Jing, it's very easy to do, as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, the first queen mother is hanging, shouldn't you express it?

As a result, the officials in the court paid out of their own pockets and contributed some money and food to successfully complete the funeral.

Therefore, many people hate Li Jing to death, and while feeling sorry for their money, they don't forget to curse Li Jing.

After sending the coffin to the cemetery for burial and placing tribute offerings, the funeral ceremony is over, and Li Jing returns to Otsuka Zaifu to continue working!
