The change of throne is another gain or loss for the powerful people, and the common people bring a few days of white cloth to show their filial piety, and continue to run for firewood, rice, oil and salt. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe border war stopped, martial law in Kyoto was lifted, and the children of the prince returned to Beijing from the fiefdom one after another on the grounds of mourning.

The royal tomb has long been prepared, according to the rites to stop the funeral in March, the king led the hundred officials to send the hearse to set off, under the support of the master of ceremonies, holding the coffin three steps, one crying, five steps and one stop, the sadness moved the officials and the people.

In front of the hearse, two white silk were several zhang long, the queen stood in the first place on the right side with white silk in her arm, Princess Rui followed behind her a few steps apart, and more than a dozen royal ladies lined up. On the left side, Bai Aya was in the first place, Dugu Ying was wearing Bai Aya on her shoulders, holding the county lord of Xi Miao with both hands, and deliberately tied the rope to the little girl. After the hearse, the king of England took a group of royal men to protect the spirit, and his eyes fell on Duguying from time to time across the crowd, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

According to the Qinghui etiquette system, the person who pulled the spirit in front of the hearse should have been the queen at one end, and the princess Rui at the end, and the school department would have submitted the proposed order list to Cuihua Palace as usual, but the lord of Qinghui, who had ignored government affairs for several months, was furious after seeing it, and tore up the list to beat the five military sticks in the ceremonial division and drive them out of the palace gate. The dignitaries of the school department gathered together to discuss, and they really couldn't see anything wrong with the order, and the minister of the school department personally rewrote a copy and entered the palace, wanting to ask for a decision, he didn't dare to go to Cuihua Palace, and Merlin's blood still haunted in his dreams.

After seeing this, the prince was noncommittal, and asked Gao Lin to ask the queen to adjudicate, saying that it was a royal family matter. The minister of the school department did not wait long outside the palace, Gao Lin came back to reply to the decree, and the queen threw back the list of the school department on the grounds that the spiritual ranking involved the honor and disgrace of the title.

"School, the county lord of Qinghui is not allowed to say the reason, you go and discuss with King Rui first. ”

The minister of the school department entered the palace of King Rui, and first told the story as it was, and then submitted the list, and King Rui did not notice anything wrong, and remembered that the queen had seen it, and asked the princess to come and refer to it. Princess Rui carefully asked the queen who had been sent back by Gao Lin for the original words, and put the list in her hand on the table.

"Boss, the first king is in Japan, where is Qinghui in the court?"

"Returning to the princess, Wenchen is headed by the crown prince, and the county lord of Qinghui is ranked after His Royal Highness King Rui. ”

King Rui came back to his senses, the lord of Qinghui County opened the palace like a prince, the king of England has gone, and the title in the court is second only to him, how can the position in front of the hearse be behind Princess Rui!

"Confused! The queen sent the spirit, and the daughter-in-law of the royal family formed a column of her own after it, how could the princess of this king dare to be parallel with the queen. The other line of royal women should be headed by Qinghui, and they should be ranked according to their relatives and titles, and they should not be judged by their seniority and age. If it weren't for the state funeral, the head of the ceremonial priest would have already landed. ”

The minister of the school department wakes up like a big dream, the queen's mother is the world, who is qualified to stand side by side with her outside the king, the lord of Qinghui County has been the same prince when he was the king, and now he is no different from the prince, in the middle of the court, the lord of the lord talks about the official and the relatives, and the prince of Rui also has to take a half step back.

"Thank you Your Highness and the princess for your teachings, and the old minister will go to Cuihua Palace to ask for guilt. ”

"Forget it, Qinghui doesn't say a word, he's saving face for you. The great etiquette of the national funeral makes everything complicated, and it is only a small mistake to talk about it, if you go to ask for sin, it will make her embarrassed, if you don't punish it heavily, what is the majesty. In the future, major events in the school department will be reported to Cuihua Palace before the book, regardless of Qinghui or not, and the clerical program must not be wrong. ”

The ceremonial secretary returned to Cuihua Palace with a limp in the middle of the ceremony, and Dugu Ying signed the list and returned it, asking him to send a message to the minister of the school: "There are few elders in the court, I hope that everything will be dealt with according to the law and etiquette of the country, the old minister is highly respected, why squeeze the power gate to seek wealth and prosperity for his descendants, how can the royal family treat important ministers badly." After hearing this, the minister of the school department had mixed feelings, and the message was both a warning and a consolation, and the past matters would not be pursued, and if he participated in the battle for the throne in the future, his descendants would not be able to enjoy wealth and nobility, and whether his life could be saved was still between the two.

The old king was buried in the imperial mausoleum, Dugu Ying disregarded the dissuasion of the ministers, led the small county lord to stay behind to guard the mausoleum, Princess Rui saw this and entrusted a pair of children to her, the four sisters and brothers cried or laughed in front of the spirit every day, the old king should be relieved if he knew under the spring, the king finally left his blood, the feelings of the grandchildren are not like the prince brothers, and the royal descendants of Dugu have not had this family fun for many generations.

The royal family grandchildren all stayed outside the city to guard the mausoleum, the king wanted to transfer the right battalion of the guards to protect, the military department used the excuse that the three guards could not leave Kyoto lightly, and asked for permission to transfer two battalions of cavalry, 6,000 of the most elite cavalry guarded outside the royal tomb, and the guards of the mausoleum guards and the four sisters were more than 2,000 people.

The old military minister received the order to exchange tears, rushed back to Kyoto in the starry night, worshiped the king to see the county lord, and was ordered to retake charge of the military and political department.

"Go back to the barracks, the children of the Wen family are not allowed to serve in the three guards!"

The first thing the old military minister did when he took office was to remove his grandson Wen Qinghan's Praetorian Guard Commander, and then transfer Qiu Xingchen to the Xiaocai camp. The second thing is to take Qin Rufeng, Hua Yue has to resign from all his positions before leaving, but there is no will to remove his Cuihua Palace envoy, since this is the case, Qin Rufeng has to leave, and the brother and sister are not allowed to take charge of the army in the same battalion and be transferred to the Ministry of Military Affairs. The third thing is to burn the fire to the captains of each battalion of the three guards, and those who have served for five years and passed the examination will all be promoted and transferred from the three guards, and the captains and guards will be transferred to a new team every year.

After carefully reading the plan reported by the Minister of Military Affairs, Duguying summoned the two ministers of the Military Order and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the two of them looked at it with bitter faces, and the Minister of Military Affairs smiled and said: "Your Highness, the old minister finally understands that the Duke of Qin and the Wusheng do military orders, why can he fight against the two of them for many years, and the military and political affairs are the best." ”

"My lord, the mystery in my heart has only been solved, the old military minister never wanted to betray the royal family and the empire, and he did something wrong back then, probably because his father disappointed him too much, alas, I went to the palace to ask for a decree. ”

The king and queen are both in Merlin, Dugu Ying wants to kneel down and salute, the queen pulls him to sit down, the king browses the rectification plan of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and mutters: "Your grandfather has not yet entered the mausoleum, don't attract private discussions from the ministers, the death of the government is not very good-looking in the royal family, is the Sanwei General School slow down for some time and then make adjustments?"

"The military and government are important ministers in the first king's time, how can it attract criticism. The ministers of the DPRK and China are in groups, which has annoyed His Majesty enough, and the military affairs are at the disposal of Ying'er. The queen said a few words lightly, and the king looked at her: "Is it considered a harem to interfere in politics?" The queen pointed to the Chinese book in his hand and whispered: "I don't see at a glance, I don't know who is promoted or degraded, and my heart is wrong with my daughter." ”

"Heart to my daughter, how old is she this year? After the national funeral, it's time to plan for marriage. The king asked the inner eunuch to bring pen and ink, and wrote two lines on the plan: "Accurate." Daily military affairs are handled by Qinghui. When he handed it to her, he advised: "Your master was also kind that day, and he often visited when he had time." When the queen heard this, she looked at Merlin with a sideways face, and the grievances between her parents and her master were somewhat heard, Duguying didn't dare to answer the phone, so she picked up the paperwork and walked out of the forest quickly.

"Alas, in the past, why bother to put on a face in front of your daughter. ”

"Government and military aircraft, I won't ask in the future. Palace, if she comes in, I will go out. ”

The military department was ordered to rectify the Xiao cavalry camp and the three guards in Kyoto, Dugu Ying sat in Cuihua Palace in March, the four princes entered Beijing one after another, and Zhuo Zhuo entered the palace to see her, and the others were all blocked outside the palace, and it was not too late to discuss the war after the national funeral. The prince is still not seen, not to mention the children of the princes who returned to Beijing, Cuihua Palace seems to be unwilling to participate in the affairs of the empire, the prince and the prince can't guess the riddle, the army is still facing each other in front, the daily cost of money and food is huge, the empire can afford it, the coalition army is a little embarrassed, the war can be unanimous with the outside world, no one wants to contribute more after the armistice, not to mention that there are powerful countries on the border, urging the letter envoys to and fro non-stop, but the princes can only wait with a wry smile.

Staying in the imperial mausoleum for 7749 days, Duguying's sister and brother resigned from the mausoleum and returned to Beijing with tears, the lord of Ximiao and the young daughter of King Rui had a good time and were difficult to separate, and they were even more reluctant to return to the house when they saw the scenery of Cuihua Palace, Duguying had no choice but to make a courtyard for her to live in. In a few days, the head was big, and the two little girls were rampaging in the palace to make trouble everywhere, not to mention, and they had to pester her to play every day, and the dignified imperial county lord became a palace maid who coaxed children, and often had to throw down the paperwork to accompany the two of them.

Princess Rui came to visit, just saw the three sisters playing and playing, Duguying squatted on the ground and jumped, her face was full of mud, the two little girls kept chasing and throwing mud, Duguying squatted on the ground and jumped, her face was full of mud, the little girl kept chasing and throwing mud, she almost couldn't believe the sight in front of her, and said that no wonder her son was always clamoring to come to Cuihua Palace.

Seeing her mother, King Rui's young daughter ran over to be coquettish, the lord of Ximiao County cried when she saw this, Dugu Ying didn't have time to greet the princess, and hurriedly hugged her into her arms, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Princess Rui stayed in the palace until the evening, did not take her daughter with her when she left, and immediately asked people to prepare a courtyard for the lord of Xi Miao County after returning home, and the items could only be better than her own daughter, and after taking the two little girls together for a few days, she couldn't bear to cry and sent them back together.

"Qinghui, this is a very far way, Uncle Wang has an idea for your reference. ”

After King Rui learned the details, he thought hard for a few days before entering Cuihua Palace. The royal children grew up in the deep palace, each surrounded by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, seemingly noble but actually no different from being locked in a cage, it was difficult to feel the family affection between brothers and sisters, and when they grew up, they had the temptation of power, and the family affection became thinner, and the blood relatives were not as good as passers-by.

"In running schools in various places, there is no distinction between rich and poor, everyone of the right age must be enrolled, and the government will pay for the poor families. Princes and county lords, princes and grandchildren, as you did back then, incognito is no different from commoners. The Ministry of Civil Affairs abolished the Department of Soldiers, and the government still provided for the children of the Tong Ying, but the children of martyrs should no longer be trained to become martyrs, and the children of the nobles should go to the battlefield to fight first. ”

Dugu Ying had this intention for a long time, but she knew that it would be difficult to implement, and the safety of the prince and county lord would be difficult to completely solve, and she almost died at the hands of King Xiangyun back then.

"Uncle Wang, I don't want to leave the children's camp first, and the school department will try to run a few schools in Kyoto, and the Xi Miao brothers and sisters don't want to enroll in school for the time being, the royal descendants are thin, and I am worried about being plotted. ”

King Rui shook his head and said: "The children are safe, and Uncle Wang has also thought carefully, today is different from it, who would risk exterminating the clan and assassinate a few children who have no hope of inheriting the throne." However, you and Cuihua Palace must strengthen their vigilance, Uncle Wang said a few more words, the people in the sect are unreliable, and their loyalty to the empire and the royal family is far less enthusiastic than that of cultivation. ”

Grandpa forbade the master to enter the palace and enter the house, and the mother would rather send her to the standard camp than let her stay in the Phantom Sword Gate to learn art, the words of the Duan Imperial Concubine before her death meant something, and now Uncle Rui Wang mentioned the sect again, and the implication seemed to say that Xi Miao and others stayed in Cuihua Palace, it was better to go to school safely, and Dugu Ying would make a decision.

"Uncle Wang, the children of the nobles are studying in the same hall as the children of the commoners, I am afraid that there will be some bullying, so I might as well let the school department in Kyoto run a school for the nobles first, but the facilities cannot be superior to the commoners, and the Xi Miao sisters will enroll in the school when they are a little older, so as not to be deceived by others. ”

King Rui thought that this was indeed the case, the war had not completely stopped, and it was difficult to push it across the country, and Kyoto would try to set up a few schools, which would be a good model in the future, and smiled at the moment: "Okay, just do it, Uncle Wang will go and ask for a decree." Hehe, Xi Miao and the two of them should not be too spoiled, when they came, they saw that Yu Wenjie was going to leave the palace, so Uncle Wang reprimanded them back. After walking a few steps to the door, he stopped, and sighed lightly: "Qinghui, if your Uncle Ying Wang sees this, he will probably think twice." Alas, for the sake of power, Uncle Wang has done no less wrong things, but he never dared to fight in the same room, praying for the protection of the ancestors, and the royal tragedy will not be repeated. ”

"Uncle Wang, it is necessary to cut the feudal domain, and the imperial power must be more restricted, there is not too much power, who is willing to use his life as a price to take the risk to seek the throne, and the descendants of Dugu can have both the throne and enjoy family affection. ”
