In the palace, Empress Zhang saw that no one objected at all, and immediately nodded with relief.

Then he set the tone and said: "Since all the ministers unanimously elected King Yun, the prince who inherits the throne will be designated as King Yun, and all matters related to the succession will be prepared and handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households."

In addition, the funeral affairs of the Emperor Daxing and the crown prince can no longer be delayed, and the bell will officially start today, and the Ministry of Rites can begin to arrange a line of affairs.

As the saying goes, the country can't be without a king for a day, and King Yun ascended the throne in front of the spirit of Emperor Daxing, which has a precedent in our dynasty, Wang Shangshu should have no opinion, right? ”

Empress Zhang said, looking at Wang Yang.

Wang Yang nodded emphatically: "As long as the household department cooperates properly, the ministry will definitely be able to arrange it properly!" ”

Empress Zhang looked at the household again.

However, Cui Wen, the head of the household department, was embarrassed at this time.

When Empress Zhang saw it, she asked out loud, "What?" Does Cui Shangshu have any different opinions? ”

Cui Wen didn't hide it, and said with a bitter face: "Queen Mother, since the recovery of Bianjing, my household department has first resettled the people and then given the pensions to the soldiers defending the city, etc., and has already sold seventy-seven eighty-eight of the treasury silver.

If it weren't for the two million taels that Cao Gonggong transported into the treasury some time ago to fill in time to support the two expenses, I am afraid that the operation of the imperial court would not be able to persist in the past two days.

Now it is not only the enthronement ceremony of King Yun, but also the funeral ceremony for the Daxing Emperor and the first prince.

The cost of any of these three would be hundreds of thousands of taels.

Among them, Emperor Daxing was regulated by the first emperor, and the minimum cost was around 700,000 taels.

The first prince didn't need to do this, but he also needed at least 300,000 taels of silver.

Finally, there is the most silver-consuming enthronement ceremony of the three, and it is conservatively estimated that the silver consumption is at least around one million.

In this way, if the three things are done together, the treasury will have to come up with at least two million taels of silver to be sufficient.

But now there are less than 200,000 taels of silver left in the treasury, which is not enough for the three needs, and the old minister doesn't know what to do! ”

Cui Wen's wrinkled old face was full of helplessness.

The hundreds of officials in the palace also exclaimed.

Queen Zhang at the top opened her mouth even more, and she didn't say anything for a while.

As the old saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero.

However, now the imperial court is not just a penny?

That's two million taels!

Where can I find this?

At this moment, a report suddenly came from outside the palace.

It was said that Wang Huaien, the eunuch next to King Yun, asked to enter the palace.

Everyone was wondering what the big eunuch beside King Yun was doing when he came over.

Wang Huaien, who was allowed to come in, immediately took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom after saluting Empress Zhang, and said:

"Queen Mother, just now the prince said that the court has been in a difficult state affair recently, and I am afraid that many important things will be powerless, so I specially told the slave and maid to send two million taels of Feiyun Qianzhuang's instant silver notes to the court first, and return them when the treasury has silver in the future!"

As soon as Wang Huaien's words came out, the others didn't have time to react, but Cui Wen, the head of the household, immediately lit up, rushed to Wang Huaien's side in two steps, and grabbed a corner of the pile of silver tickets, not at all like a sixty or seventy-year-old man.

"Oh, His Royal Highness King Yun understands the difficulties of the imperial court, this is really timely rain, the old decay has thanked King Yun!"

As he spoke, Cui Wen was about to take the silver ticket.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull the silver ticket out of Wang Huaien's hand no matter what, and he looked at him in amazement.

Wang Huaien didn't even look at him, but looked at Queen Zhang.

Empress Zhang suddenly laughed and scolded: "Cui Shangshu, how can you see the silver like this, you have to pay attention to the decency of the ministers of the court!" Don't go back yet? ”

Cui Wen suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment, and the hand holding the silver ticket couldn't help but use his strength again, but he still couldn't catch it, so he could only retreat helplessly and arch his hand: "The minister has lost his honor, Niangniang really doesn't know, how ...... my household is now"

Before his misery was sold, Empress Zhang had already interrupted him.

"Okay, Cui Shangshu don't be impatient."

Cui Wen had no choice but to shut up, but his eager eyes still looked directly at the stack of silver tickets in Wang Huaien's hand.

Empress Zhang shook her head helplessly, then sat upright and looked at Wang Huaien and nodded slightly: "This palace represents the imperial court, so I will borrow two million taels from King Yun first, and when the time comes, the treasury will definitely return the silver." ”

"Niang Niang Shengming!"

Wang Huaien said, and changed the silver ticket that was originally pinched in his hand to hold it in his hand.

A eunuch beside Empress Zhang stepped down and took the stack of silver tickets from Wang Huaien's hand, which made Cui Wen's eyes shift from Wang Huaien's hand to his.

At the suggestion of Empress Zhang, the two million taels of silver tickets were finally delivered to Cui Wen.

Empress Zhang advised: "Cui Shangshu, just now the palace borrowed the silver from King Yun in the name of the court in front of all the courtiers, and when the treasury has the silver in the future, it will be returned, otherwise the court will lose its trust, and it is also the guarantor of the palace who has lost his trust, you don't let the palace lose its trust!" ”

Cui Wen hurriedly nodded: "Don't worry, the treasury has the silver, and the minister will definitely return it!" ”

Now that the matter of silver has been solved, the main problems of the previous dynasty have been answered and disposed of.

In Cao Shuang's singing and cheering, the first court meeting after Bianjing was broken was over.

Shortly after the end of this court meeting, a bell rang in the palace.

The bells rang out continuously, and the rest of the temples in Bianjing City also rang the bells.

The entire Bianjing City was quickly shrouded in the echo of a bell.

This is the death knell of the emperor's death, although it has been three days since the recovery of Bianjing, most of the people do not know that the emperor has died.

And this death knell is to inform the people of the world about this, your emperor is dead!

According to the regulations of the imperial court, the emperor died, and this death knell should ring 30,000 times in a row.

And the death of the then prince has to be knocked, just 10,000 sounds.

In this way, this death knell should be struck 40,000 times in a row.

According to past experience, usually 30,000 voices for three days and three nights are basically enough.

If it is 40,000 rings, the bell will echo for four days and four nights.

In fact, for four days and four nights, the entire Bianjing and its surroundings were echoed by the reverberating bells.

When the bell continued to ring at the end of the third day, everyone was gone, and it turned out that not only the emperor but also the crown prince was gone.

And this news immediately spread throughout Bianjing City, causing a huge discussion.

At the same time, the news of the death of the emperor and crown prince in the past four days has also been transmitted to other counties and counties in the Great Song Dynasty by means of flying pigeons.

And just when the whole of Bianjing was shrouded in the atmosphere of the funeral of the emperor and the crown prince.

At the Shanyang Road connecting Guanzhong County and Bianjing, the fleeing Xiongnu army collided head-on with the 100,000 Tianwu army led by Zhao Chongguo, who was hurrying back.

And at this time, they also found that they didn't know when, and they were also following a Song army.

Take a closer look, which one is the flag behind this is not the Dragon Guard Army or the Divine Guard?!

Oh roar!

Directly sandwiched by two loaves of bread!
