Chapter 735: The Emperor Dies

When Princess Cheng saw that her husband and daughter-in-law had committed suicide by taking poison, she thought of her son who did not know her life and death outside, and her two grandsons who were obviously sent out of the house by the prince. With a horizontal heart, I also poured a cup of sherbet and drank it all. "Lord Wang, let me accompany you."

When Yun Zhen led people to break through King Cheng's Mansion and broke into the study, he saw such a scene. Yun Zhen sighed, this Prince Cheng's family is really ruthless enough. "Well, let's collect all these corpses, the death of a man is like a lamp going out, and the dead are great." Yun Zhen sighed.

The people behind him stepped forward and gathered the corpses in one place. Then, Yun Zhen led people to search Prince Cheng's mansion inside and out, took care of all the people in the palace separately, and found some things that seemed to be useful. At this point, Prince Cheng's Mansion is completely destroyed.

This prince, who was not conspicuous in the court at all, everyone thought that he was an honest and honest prince who would not have different intentions. But I didn't expect that in the end, I couldn't escape the temptation of power.

In addition to Yun Zhen and Tianfu catching people everywhere, they are busy in full swing. Chen Ping's side was even busier, Chen Ping led people and interrogated those officials one by one. Then look for useful things from the confession, and continue to grasp what should be caught. Seeing it, the prison was filled like this. I had no choice but to borrow the prisons of Shuntianfu, Terracotta Division, Dali Temple and other places, which can be regarded as stuffing all the cadres into it.

In this way, Shuntianfu and Dali Temple are also idle, and Shuntianfu Yin also helps with interrogation. Shuntian Mansion Yin, it was the Lord Tong of Linjiang Prefecture at the beginning, this person was quite responsible, and at the moment when there was a riot in the capital, he came to the mansion, and then sent people to appease the people.

Of course, the people who were sent to Shuntianfu were not the main characters, but they couldn't be ignored. Especially the guards at the north gate of the imperial city, the guards at the west gate and others, these people can also ask a lot of things. Lord Tong gathered all the officials of the government and interrogated them together, and overnight, he really asked a lot of useful things.

A busy night passed. In the early morning of the second day, everyone who was busy outside finished their errands according to Yunlin's requirements.

Yun Lin also got up early, and after freshening up, he ate something with Yun Ni, and hurried to visit Emperor Yonghui in the Qinzheng Palace. When they arrived, Emperor Yonghui had already taken medicine, and the palace people brought a bowl of porridge and were feeding him porridge.

Yun Ni looked at Emperor Yonghui's face, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, Your Majesty is holding it up, I don't know how many days it can last, it just depends on his mind.

"Father, what do you think? Is it better? Yunlin stepped forward, and the bowl in the hands of the palace people was personally fed to Emperor Yonghui.

Emperor Yonghui shook his head, "That is, stay up, there's nothing good or bad." How did things go last night? Is it all in order? ”

"Well, the rebels are already on guard. The family members of the officials involved in it should also be arrested, and those who should be locked up will be locked up, and a decision will be made only after the interrogation is over. Concubine Hui and the second prince have been sent back to the Jade Palace, and the sons have sent someone to guard them closely, and the father has to be in charge of this matter. "Yun Lin didn't have a good rest last night, and everything needs to be decided by him.

"Concubine Hui is rebellious, the sin is unforgivable, let people send Bai Aya wine, choose any of them. As for the second child, take care of it for the time being, and talk about it later. Emperor Yonghui closed his eyes and made a decision after a while.

"Yes, my son obeys." Yun Lin hurriedly nodded and agreed. This result was almost as he expected, Concubine Qi was able to keep a whole corpse, which was already a blessing.

Yun Lin fed all the porridge in the bowl to Emperor Yonghui to eat, and just as the father and son finished talking, Yun Lin got up and got out of the way. Yun Ni stepped forward again and checked Qin Wenhao's pulse, "Father, you still need to recuperate in peace, and you must not be overjoyed and angry. In the end, Yunni just persuaded like this.

"Well, I'll listen to you. I'm afraid you husband and wife still have a lot of things to do today, go quickly, I'm afraid that the civil and military officials will enter the palace later. Emperor Yonghui waved his hand and said weakly.

Yunlin and his wife glanced at each other, told Emperor Yonghui to have a good rest, and then went out.

At the end of the hour, the palace gate was opened, and the civil and military officials, together with their family members, all entered the palace and came to worship in front of the Fengyi Palace Spiritual Hall. In front of Fengyi Palace, it was plain white, and all the officials were dressed in filial piety clothes, kneeling on the steps outside the mourning hall and crying bitterly.

Yun Xue also came today, and also brought Qin Pengchong and the three children, who also wore linen and filial piety, directly entered the mourning hall, knelt in front of the spirit and cried bitterly.

When the hundred officials knelt down and bowed, Gao Xiang held the holy decree in his hand, stood in front of the hundred officials, and read the holy decree.

When the hundred officials heard it, it turned out to be the edict of Emperor Yonghui, and everyone couldn't help but talk about it for a while. Everyone is speculating that Emperor Yonghui is probably not good enough, so he will abdicate the throne in such a hurry, probably because he wants Prince Rui to ascend the throne justifiably.

Yunlin was originally designated as the crown prince, and he was just about to make a canonization. Now that he has directly ascended the throne, he has only ascended to the throne a period of time in advance, and the officials below have no way to oppose it.

Nonsense, those who dare to oppose it are afraid that they will either die or be locked up in a prison at this moment. Which of these remaining people would dare to get another fight?

Last night, there was a riot in the capital, how did these officials not know? Here today, there are more than a dozen civil and military generals, and it is obvious that the palace was arrested last night. Qi Liantong Pingyang Hou, a dignified army of 50,000, but it was unsuccessful and was finally captured in one fell swoop. Think about it, aren't they bold enough to speak out against it?

Prince Rui is thoughtful, ruthless, thoughtful, and resolute, very powerful. Now that he has become a big trend, what can he do even if others oppose it? I'm afraid that in the end, I can only be hated by the new emperor, but it is better to follow the trend and save trouble.

So, a group of courtiers hurriedly knelt down, "The ministers obey the holy order." ”

Yun Xue and other female dependents knelt in the side hall of Fengyi Palace, and at this time they also heard the voices of hundreds of officials outside. At this moment, Yun Xue finally made up her mind. Yunlin is about to become the emperor, and all this is finally dust.

And Emperor Yonghui, who was lying in the dormitory, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the voice behind him. "Yan'er, my responsibility is over, I can accompany you with peace of mind this time." After speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and never opened them again.

Emperor Yonghui had a smile on his face and slept very peacefully, and others only thought he was asleep. When the imperial doctor came in to ask for a pulse, he found that Emperor Yonghui was out of breath. The imperial doctor was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to report to Yunlin.

In front of Fengyi Palace, Yun Lin was leading people to recall the queen's deeds during her lifetime, but suddenly an attendant came forward to report, "Lord, Your Majesty has died." The chamberlain choked up.

Yun Lin was stunned for a moment, his body shook, and he almost couldn't stand still. "Quick, take this king to see." As he spoke, he ran forward directly and rushed directly towards the Qinzheng Palace.

The civil and military officials had already learned the news, and everyone was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the queen and the emperor passed away one after another after only one day. This kind of situation makes people sound sad and sad. The emperor and queen are in deep love, and they really lived and died together, such an emotion can appear in the emperor's house, which makes people sigh when they think about it.

Emperor Yonghui died, and the palace was busy again, after the funeral, the spirit was in the main hall of Chengqian Palace, and all the civil and military ministers were there, and they didn't have to bother, and they came directly to Chengqian Palace to worship and kneel and cry.

In the palace, a dull bell rang, and then, all the temples in the capital also rang at the same time. When the people of the city heard the bell, they knew that the emperor had died. For a time, the people of the capital were full of grief and inexplicable. Emperor Yonghui reigned for more than ten years, although the time was very short, but the government was very popular with the people, and the people were grateful to this emperor from the bottom of their hearts.

The emperor is in a big line, and the number of etiquette is much more cumbersome than that of the queen, plus the emperor and queen have returned to heaven one after another, it is simply something that has not happened in a hundred years, and all the people in the palace are busy.

The people of the capital are not allowed to marry for one month, not to have fun for one hundred days, not to slaughter for forty-nine days, and not to pray or retriciate for twenty-seven days. All of a sudden, the whole city was silent, and the whole country mourned.

Yun Lin's family stayed in the palace like this, and in addition to kneeling in front of the spirit every day, the rest of the time, Yun Lin was in the imperial study to discuss major affairs with the ministers. The first emperor died, and the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne, but the major affairs of the court and the central government could not be handled by anyone. As a result, Gao Xiang, Jiang Chengtao, Yun Zhen, Tianfu and other close people all stayed in the palace to help Yunlin deal with political affairs.

Because the emperor's mausoleum has already been repaired, Qin Tianjian chose a date, and seven days after the death of Emperor Yonghui, the emperor and queen were buried in the mausoleum.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the Zigong of the emperor and queen was sent to the imperial mausoleum that had been repaired a long time ago. After the mausoleum was closed, Yunlin led the civil and military officials to kneel outside the mausoleum and weep bitterly.

After the burial of the emperor, peace was restored in the palace. It's just that the palace people are still dressed in plain clothes, and everywhere in the palace is still plain white. Yunlin went to the Fengxian Hall every day to bow down and recite scriptures, and then discussed with the ministers about removing the obedience and ascending the throne.

The emperor mourned, unlike the people, and replaced the month with the day, that is, he only needed to observe filial piety for 27 days. After the twenty-seventh day, it can be removed. Therefore, Qin Tian supervised the selection of the date, and on the second day of the second month of February, the new emperor ascended the throne.

The etiquette before ascending the throne was also very cumbersome, and the Ministry of Rites had to rush to make the emperor's clothes and dresses. In addition, Yunlin is a person who demands perfection in everything, and the new emperor must always have a new atmosphere when he ascends the throne. This is the same, and after deliberating, it is really troublesome enough.
