Tyrant [Rebirth]

After Wang Muhan received the letter, he hurriedly brought over the plain clothes he had prepared earlier, and the two of them changed clothes directly in the Baishou Building, and went out of the house without delay, got into the carriage and rushed to the palace.

The two people in the carriage were speechless. Not long after, a bell rang outside. Wei Ji looked outside subconsciously. Chu Shaoling held Wei Ji's hand: "After the emperor passed away, the bells in various temples and temples will strike [-] times. Think about it." I got the letter."

Wei Ji nodded, the bell rang again and again, Wei Ji panicked for no reason, the emperor died, will Chu Shaoling finally ascend the throne?

It is really not easy for the prince Chu Shaoling to do it. Wei Ji actually hoped that Chu Shaoling would be able to ascend the throne. At least there would be no endless frame-ups and conspiracies after he ascended the throne. Chu Shaoling fixedly looked into Wei Ji's eyes, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Just don't worry, what happened before will happen in the future, and I will only treat you better after I ascend the throne."

Wei Ji's heart warmed up, and he bowed his head and said softly: "I know, but... thinking that His Highness will soon be the emperor, I can't remember it for a while."

"There's nothing you can't remember about this." Chu Shaoling put one hand on Wei Ji's waist and hugged him in his arms, "I have wronged you so much in the past, but I won't do it in the future. In the future...whatever you want, I will let you how are you."

Wei Ji shook his head: "I didn't think about it, I'm satisfied if I can continue to serve His Highness next to me."

Hearing this, Chu Shaoling bowed his head and kissed Wei Ji's eyebrows. After a while, the carriage entered the Shenwu Gate. Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji got out of the carriage and took a sedan chair. The group went directly to Chengqian Palace. As soon as Chu Shaoling entered the palace gate, he had a seizure The slaves from top to bottom covered their mouths and dealt with them one by one according to what Wang Muhan had told them before. Wang Muhan ordered the servants to be sent away, and then turned back and bowed and asked, "His Royal Highness, those imperial doctors who diagnosed Emperor Daxing's pulse... ...How to deal with it?"

The palace servants prepared the filial piety clothes, Chu Shaoling opened his arms and asked Wei Ji to put on the filial piety clothes for him, then turned his head to look at the old imperial doctors kneeling outside the porch and said lightly: "The old ginseng soup is made by Emperor Daxing himself. If you want to drink, what does it have to do with the imperial doctor? Don't implicate irrelevant people."

Wang Muhan understood and nodded: "Yes."

The imperial doctors were finally relieved when they heard Chu Shaoling's words, and went there with gratitude.

Chu Shaoling took a piece of white silk that Wei Ji handed him and tied it on his forehead, turned around and knelt down, Wei Ji and others also knelt down, Chu Shaoling bowed and bowed again, got up and looked at the white candle lights in the dormitory in a daze, The emperor should have seen Li Concubine and Chu Shaoruan by now, hehe... How interesting it would be for these three people to meet, a sneer appeared from the corner of Chu Shaoling's mouth, it was not enough, there was still one person missing.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager came with Nanny Sun supporting her. Even though the Empress Dowager had been prepared for a long time, she couldn't help but almost fainted when she saw Emperor Daxing's body. Chu Shaoling quickly stood up and supported the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager covered her face and choked out: " emperor……"

Chu Shaoling ordered someone to tidy up the Xinuang Pavilion and helped the queen mother pass by. The queen mother sat on the chair and cried loudly: "What evil did the Ai family do... First the queen, and now the emperor, let the white-haired people of the Ai family send black people twice." Faren, just let Aijia go with him..."

"Imperial Grandmother, don't speak nonsense..." Chu Shaoling took a handkerchief to wipe the Empress Dowager's face, and persuaded softly, "Father has been bedridden with lingering illness for half a year, and now he has reached bliss. I think he is relieved."

The queen mother couldn't help but feel sad: "The Ai family is just like the emperor. He is gone. What is the Ai family still alive? The late emperor... The Ai family has protected this child for you all his life. Now that the emperor has gone, you also take mourning." Let's go home, and take Ai's family away..."

"Grandmother and I..." Chu Shaoling held the Queen Mother's hand and said softly, "And the grandson, the grandmother only remembers the father and the emperor, but has she forgotten the grandson? Even for the grandson, the grandmother shouldn't Say this..."

Chu Shaoling took the teacup offered by Nanny Sun and handed it to the Empress Dowager: "The grandson is still counting on the emperor's grandmother to give him some advice..."

"What else do you have to ask Aijia..." The Queen Mother calmed down a little after being persuaded by Chu Shaoling for a long time, took a few sips of tea and said in a low voice, "The emperor broke Aijia's heart, I thought It won't be so uncomfortable, but... no matter how bad it is, he is still the son of the Ai family, the emperor..."

Chu Shaoling gently wiped away the tears for the queen mother and said softly: "Who doesn't know the kindness of the emperor's grandmother, there are still many things that the emperor's grandmother will take care of, and don't be too sad to hurt your body."

Grandma Sun interjected at the right time: "Yes, the Queen Mother has been in poor health for the past year, so she can no longer be careless about herself."

The Empress Dowager nodded and tears flowed down again, Chu Shaoling couldn't help comforting him, a palace man outside came in and said in a low voice: "Report to the Empress Dowager, report to the Crown Prince, relatives of the clan and cabinet ministers have already entered the palace, my lord Let the servants ask where is the imperial edict of Emperor Daxing now, and whether it should be read out to the clan members and the adults."

The queen mother paused, wiped her face and said in a low voice, "Before the emperor left... did he leave a will?"

Chu Shaoling reassured: "I've stayed here long ago, Wang Muhan..."

Wang Muhan brought the forged edict with both hands, Chu Shaoling opened it and showed it to the Queen Mother, who saw that it was the handwriting of Grand Master Feng, and the seal on it was the emperor's seal, there was nothing wrong with it, the Queen Mother felt relieved Nodded: "It's good to have a will. Hurry up and order people to read the will, let them know that the emperor also favored the crown prince before he left. This matter must not be delayed, and no one should make a fuss about it."

Wang Muhan bowed and agreed, and then asked: "The clan outside also asked about the fourth prince, whether they should send someone to fetch the fourth prince back."

Speaking of Chu Shaoyang, the Empress Dowager's face darkened a bit. This is also a child she once loved, but she did not expect to have bad intentions and had no affection for Chu Shaoling. The Empress Dowager looked at Chu Shaoling, and Chu Shaoling said lightly: "It's natural Inform the Ministry of Rites to immediately arrange for someone to go to Pingyu to bring Chu Shaoyang back."

Wang Muhan nodded and left.

Chu Shaoling turned around and sat down, holding the Queen Mother's hand and said softly: "Just leave the matter here to my grandson, with the help of the uncle of the clan, I think nothing will go wrong. Let's go back to Ci'an Hall, if there is anything, the grandson will ask the emperor's grandmother."

The Empress Dowager was quite upset, she nodded and said: "The Ai family ordered people to clean up the Bitao Garden, you should rest in the Bitao Garden these days."

Chu Shaoling nodded in agreement, stood up and helped the queen mother to send the person directly to the chariot outside before turning back, Wang Muhan took care of the outside affairs and came in to reply: "The edict has been read out, there is no trouble, the clansmen are ready to come in To kowtow to the crown prince, do you want to prepare the incense table and other things first..."

"No need." Chu Shaoling waved his hand and said, "Clean up the main hall of Chengqian Palace and invite everyone in. First pay homage to Emperor Daxing. He hasn't ascended the throne yet, so don't worry about it."

Wang Muhan had to order to put away the edict before going out to spread the word to everyone in the clan, Wei Ji stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Highness...it's very inconvenient for me to be here, why don't you go out with the guards first..."

"It's inconvenient for you to be here. Is it convenient for you to stand outside the hall with the guards?" Chu Shaoling pursed his thin lips slightly, "Duke Wei, remember your current identity clearly, but you are just a family member, not much more noble than you."

As soon as Chu Shaoling's words fell to the ground, Wang Muhan had already welcomed everyone in. When the clansmen saw Chu Shaoling kneeling three times and kneeling nine times to applaud him, Chu Shaoling ordered people to help them up, and said in a low voice: "Emperor Daxing has just left. Don't dare to act on your own, I hope all the uncles will help you in the funeral."

Everyone said they didn't dare, a few couldn't help looking at the guard behind Chu Shaoling, Chu Shaoling's phoenix eyes swept over, those people quickly lowered their heads, Chu Shaoling ordered someone to bring up the filial piety clothes prepared for the clan, and he advanced Kneeling spirits in the sleeping hall of the Qian Palace.

In ugly times, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the officials of the Ministry of Rites entered the palace, kowtowed to Chu Shaoling, and went to the House of Internal Affairs to discuss funeral matters with several chief executives. Officials in the imperial city of Yinshi and orders from various governments entered the palace one after another. Hou was outside the Palace of Preservation. He went to see the officials in a chariot, and ordered Wang Muhan to send someone to take the wives to see the Queen Mother. After seeing the officials, Chu Shaoling returned to discuss the suspension of the coffin with the people in the Ministry of Rites. Moved to the main hall of Chengqian Palace, Chu Shaoling always carried a guard with him wherever he went.

After all the arrangements were made, it was already time, and the clan and important ministers retreated to the side hall, leaving only Chu Shaoling and Chu Shaosui, and the sixth prince Chu Shaohan who was hugged by the nanny kneeling in front of the Daxing Emperor Zi Palace, Chu Shaohan cried for a while, and the nanny couldn't help coaxing him, Chu Shaoling was upset, and said in a low voice: "Lao Liu is so young, don't waste time here, let's take him back to Yongfu Palace first."

The sixth prince's nanny was feeling sorry for the little prince. Hearing this, she bowed again and again, hugging the sixth prince and retreating. The fifth prince couldn't help but turned his head to look and rubbed his red eyes. Chu Shaoling chuckled inwardly, deeply Voice: "Sleepy?"

Chu Shaosui quickly shook his head, although he was young, he had been taught a lot by his mother and concubine, Concubine Shu, and knew that in front of Chu Shaoling, he must never be disrespectful, so Chu Shaosui straightened his body and said respectfully: "Brother, brother not sleepy."

Chu Shaoling waved his hands and said, "I've been tossed up since last night, how can I not be sleepy, your nanny is also outside the hall, go find your nanny, and come back when the deacon is looking for you."

Chu Shaosui subconsciously felt that he should kneel here, but he really wanted to go back, and because it was Chu Shaoling, he didn't dare not listen to what he said, so he kowtowed a few times and left. Chu Shaoling was the only one left in the empty hall , Chu Shaoling looked at the throne of Emperor Daxing on the incense table and chuckled. The emperor left behind six princes, and in the end he was the only one who knelt down for him. How ridiculous.

In the west side hall of Chengqian Palace, the concubines and imperial concubines who knelt on the floor were crying. The queen mother sat on the chair on the right and wept sadly. After walking in, Concubine Shu hurriedly walked over and pulled him back. After Chu Shaosui left the main hall, he didn't see his nanny, and walked to the side hall in a daze. When he saw Concubine Shu, he hugged Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu began to cry with a "wow". Concubine Shu looked at the crowd, afraid that others would say that Chu Shaosui didn't understand the rules, and quickly reprimanded: "Why don't you kneel down in the main hall? Your father is gone, aren't you the most uncomfortable?"

"Brother asked me to go back first..." Chu Shaosui hiccupped in tears, "I didn't find the nanny, concubine mother..."

The nanny who was arguing with Chu Shaosui came in hurriedly. She just felt uncomfortable in her stomach when she was guarding outside the hall, but she did not expect Chu Shaosui to run out after a while. He took a look and pulled the nanny out, then slapped the nanny with a slap and scolded in a low voice: "Damn slave! What day is it today, why don't you watch Sui'er wander around?!"

The nanny cried and begged insincerely, and Concubine Shu wanted to beat her again, and Nanny Sun came out and said in a low voice: "The empress dowager said, the fifth prince is still young, and there are some people who can't hold on without sleep all night. If you can't bear it, let someone take the Fifth Prince back to Fengqi Palace to rest for a while."

Concubine Shu thanked her again and again, and sent someone to take the fifth prince back. The queen mother in the side hall sighed, turned her head to Zhen Si and said, "Sui'er can't hold it, let alone Han'er, go and carry Han'er back to Yongfu Palace." , it’s good to see, it’s snowing so much outside, don’t freeze.”

Zhen Si had been longing for this sound for a long time, and hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and nodded to thank her.

In the main hall, Chu Shaoling was resting with his eyes closed, Zhen Si helped the girl in but the sixth prince was not there, Chu Shaoling turned his head to look at Zhen Si and said, "Are you looking for the sixth son?"

Zhen Si nodded, and Chu Shaoling said flatly, "The sixth child has been crying all the time, Gu has already ordered the nanny to carry him back to Yongfu Palace."

Zhen Si lowered her eyes: "Thank you, Prince, for your compassion." Chu Shaoling turned his head and stopped talking, Zhen Si turned his head and walked out, and turned back just after leaving the hall. She didn't want to say these things to Chu Shaoling in front of the Emperor Daxing , but the opportunity to be alone with Chu Shaoling is too rare, Zhen Si bit her lip and said in a low voice: "I have a few things I want to ask the prince."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "You ask."

"I don't want to talk about the previous matter. The Zhen family and the crown prince have a deep grudge. Before entering the palace, I predicted the defeat of the Zhen family in the future, but... I didn't expect that the prince and queen mother would be sympathetic, and let me The family is able to live on, and I am grateful." Zhen Si was slightly blessed, "I have received the prince's kindness, and naturally I have to repay it. I will not talk about the inconveniences in return. In the future... as long as the prince still has use for me Another instruction is that this palace is only looking forward to..."

"I just hope that when the sixth prince becomes an adult, the prince can choose a fiefdom to give to the sixth prince at will, and let me go to the fief with the sixth prince, so that our mother and son can live a stable life for a few days." Zhen Si raised her eyes and looked at Chu Shaoling. The palace promises that the lineage of the sixth prince will never get married again, and will not cause any disturbances."

Chu Shaoling looked at Zhen Si silently, and said for a long while: "You don't have to wait until the sixth one is an adult, just wait until he is ten years old. If you still want to live in peace like this for ten years, I will choose a good place for him. At that time, you can pick up your parents together, there is only one thing, after leaving, you are not allowed to step into the imperial city, Gu Yongshi does not want to see the Zhen clan again."

Zhen Si never expected that Chu Shaoling would be extra merciful, and overjoyed in his heart, he agreed: "Yes, yes... as long as I can leave the palace..."

Chu Shaoling turned his head away, Zhen Si left the hall full of joy, and walked face to face with Wei Ji who came into the hall with a bundle.

Seeing that it was Zhen Si who hurriedly took a step back to the right, Wei Ji bowed and said, "May concubine Zhen be well."

Zhen Si paused, nodded and said, "Wei...Hello, Mr. Wei."

Wei Ji nodded and entered the main hall, the snow was getting worse today, and it was very cold, Wei Ji was afraid that Chu Shaoling's clothes would be thin, so he went to Bitao Garden to pick up a cloak.

Zhen Si stood in a daze outside the hall, only hearing voices coming from the hall...

"It's so cold outside, why are you running around?! It's slippery in the snow, what if you fall?!"

"Chen... I'm afraid His Highness will be cold..."

"I'm cold and you're not cold? Look at this cold hand, and you're asking me to scold you again? Put it on..."

"Your Highness, this subject is for His Highness, no..."

"Be obedient, put on mumu first... Are your boots wet?"

"Not wet..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Zhen Si's maid reminded Zhen Si in a low voice, "Are we going back to Yongfu Palace?"

Zhen Si came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Yes, go back and see the sixth prince."

Zhen Si helped the palace servants into the sedan chair, today she has obtained Chu Shaoling's promise, this is more important than anything else, compared to the illusory warmth in the cold ice, the only thing she can really count on is sleeping in Yongfu Palace, His own little blood.

Thinking of hearing the conversation in the palace just now, Zhen Si couldn't help laughing. He had heard that His Royal Highness and the Duke of Wei got along very well.

In the main hall, Wei Ji was wearing a big cloak and sitting on a soft couch, Chu Shaoling hugged him behind Wei Ji, after a while both of them warmed up, Chu Shaoling lowered his head and kissed Wei Ji's side face, Wei Ji shrank into the big cloak ...
