Early the next morning, Li Xiuzhu came to the palace early.

Today is the day when the father-in-law and eldest brother are buried together, not only him, but also the hundred officials have been waiting early.

Even Fu Wenhan, who was recuperating at home, came, of course he came in a sedan chair.

At the beginning of the sacrifice, the harem and hundreds of officials cried bitterly, and Li Xiuzhu was no exception.

Now that there is no one in the royal family, the three horses who are still alive, including Li Xiuzhu, have to fulfill their obligations as heirs, and of course several princesses are also included.

Although Li Xiuzhu couldn't cry a little at Li Kuo's words, he was still a little red when he thought of the prince's kindness to him.

He wiped his eyes, which did not have a few tears, and the red sockets could also block the mouths of the ministers.

"Enlightenment!"

With Wang Defa's shout, the coffin set off.

The funeral procession was huge, from the gate of the palace and even to the Xuanwu Gate.

However, the funeral procession was not dense, and if I really wanted to talk about it, I only had one or two thousand people.

At this point, Li Xiuzhu didn't let Fu Wenhan follow anymore, his body couldn't support a long journey of one or two hundred miles, even if it was a carriage.

Not to mention one or two hundred miles, even sitting for one or two miles is difficult for Fu Wenhan.

The roads outside the capital are not as smooth as the stone roads inside the city.

Of course, most of the funeral carriages cannot sit people, only burial goods and coffins.

But because of the long distance. Female dependents and the elderly can't do it, so there are carriages to sit in.

These carriages waited at the gate outside the capital, stopped at the bottom of the cemetery mountain, and then walked up the hill and returned.

In addition to him, Li Xiuzhu rode in the carriage, including Li Baguio and Li Liuli.

There were some palace maids and eunuchs in a carriage in front of them, and the carriage was far away, but the sound of crying and crying kept ringing.

If such an annoying voice had been in the past, Li Xiuzhu would have frowned somewhat, but today he is not.

Because these are the people who are to be buried.

Except for a few princesses, and Ruan Wenjun, who died of his son, I'm afraid they are the only ones who really cry.

Martyrdom has been for the emperor since ancient times, and Li Xiuzhu can't change it.

At least his identity does not allow it.

If he really wants to change the system of martyrdom, he can only start with his son.

This rule can only be changed by the emperor.

Fortunately, the number of martyrs was small, only about a dozen people.

However, among the eunuchs who were buried, one of them did not cry, but had a smile on his face.

This person is none other than the heart.

Li Xiuzhu promised to be satisfied, and naturally he would do what he said.

After arriving at the Imperial Mausoleum, everyone did not go in, but just cried outside the Imperial Mausoleum.

Naturally, there were guards who went in to send them to the funeral, and by the way, they slaughtered the horses that were buried and strangled the female eunuchs of the funeral palace.

Of course, the rest of the things have nothing to do with Li Xiuzhu.

When the mausoleum was closed, he left with everyone.

"Li Hu, you go and give this letter to a beggar, and say that it is for their helper."

Li Hu was stunned, but didn't ask much.

It was already dark, and Li Xiuzhu naturally would not wait for Huang Rong at this time, but made an appointment with Huang Rong to meet tomorrow.

But the thought of having to go to court early tomorrow gave him a headache.

Early the next morning, Li Xiuzhu got up early and went to the court, although this era does not need you to go to the court on the fifth watch, but you can also get it at dawn.

Although he was used to sleeping only two hours a day, he was not used to waking up early.

It was Li Xiuzhu who stood in front of the hundred officials, yawning a little.

"Lord Wang, didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

After Li Xiuzhu glanced at the official who spoke, he spoke: "Indeed, I have been busy for so many days, and I am very tired. ”

"But it's not a big problem, it's still okay to have a court meeting."

"Lord Wang, do you have any instructions for this court meeting that need to be promoted by the lower officials?"

Li Xiuzhu was stunned when he heard this, and then he knew that the other party had come to take refuge in him.

Li Xiuzhu thought about it when he heard this, and he didn't deny it, but said: "Then it's ...... bother."

Li Xiuzhu was suddenly embarrassed to find that he didn't know what this old man's name was.

seemed to understand Li Xiuzhu's embarrassment, and the little old man hurriedly spoke: "Fan Zhongcheng, the official imperial historian." ”

Li Xiuzhu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Then it's bothering Master Fan." ”

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, it's an honor for the lower officials to be able to promote the prince."

At this moment, the palace gate opened, and Li Xiuzhu, who was about to say something, stopped talking and said, "Master Fan, the palace gate is open, let's talk again when you have time, please." ”

"Lord Wang, please first."

Li Xiuzhu was not humble, he walked in first, and now he is the biggest in the Manchu Dynasty, so he doesn't need to be too modest.

When hundreds of officials gathered in the political hall, Wang Defa opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "The queen mother, the queen mother has arrived." ”

At this time, there is a phoenix chair on the left and right sides of the council hall, and there is also a screen in front of each of them.

Although it is said that the curtain is lowered to listen to the government, there are few people who listen to the government in the court with bead curtains.

Li Xiuzhu saw the two people being supported, and immediately knew what he was the first to propose.

After Wang Defa waited for the two to sit down, he opened his mouth and continued to say loudly: "Your Majesty is funeral, the first emperor's edict will be inherited by the dragon seed in the queen's mother's belly." ”

"The crown prince and the crown are governed by the queen mother and the queen mother, and Li Xiuzhu, the prince of Anyang County, is the regent and decides all state affairs."

"The princes have something to do, and they have nothing to retreat."

Hearing that the hundred officials were silent, a pair of eyes looked at Li Xiuzhu, obviously planning to see the direction of the wind first.

Li Xiuzhu saw the five people playing, paused, stepped forward and said, "This king has something." ”

Hearing Li Xiuzhu speak, Xiao Rongyu hurriedly spoke: "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

Li Xiuzhu glanced at Xiao Rongyu a little speechlessly, and secretly said that this girl really hasn't experienced the harem dispute, and at this time, the queen mother should speak first.

However, he didn't correct it, but said directly: "Niangniang is now pregnant with the dragon species, and she has to take care of the government, and the minister thinks that she is too tired, and she is afraid of hurting the prince." ”

At this moment, the officials were stunned, and their hearts were shocked.

Coming, coming, this has just become the regent and has begun to seize power.

It's no wonder they think so, normal people think so, in addition to the two women sitting above, there are Bai Zhan, Luo Shicheng and Song Lian.

The above two women trusted him unconditionally, while the other three felt unreasonable.

If Li Xiuzhu is greedy for power, is there any better position than the emperor?

The imperial power has refused, greedy for a regent? It's not reasonable, okay?

Sure enough, Li Xiuzhu continued: "So this king proposes to change the time of the court meeting and go to the court one hour later." ”

"Secondly, build the Imperial Study. From the civil and military officials and the imperial history supervisor each came out, three batches of folds. ”

"Where the content of the recital does not reach the rise and fall of a place, involving the appointment and dismissal of officials above the seventh grade and the rise and fall of the family and country, the imperial study is responsible."

"The imperial study has a lot of responsibilities, so naturally it needs to carry a lot."

"All the things that are decided by the imperial study, once there is a problem, the signatory of the imperial study will bear it, and the approval of the fold can only be carried out with at least two signatures."

"In addition, in addition to the imperial history supervisor, the selection of civil and military officials needs to reach the second rank and above."
