The factory supervisor is really stunning

The death knell in the palace rang again and again, and the sound of cloud boards knocked continuously.

The sky was overcast, and only mournful cries hovered over the imperial city.

The emperor's coffin was parked in the Qianqing Palace, and the emperor collapsed in the next noon.According to the rule, Xiao Lian was sent to the Qianqing Palace to rest and accept worship from people inside and outside the palace.

Crown Prince Ji Wenquan wore mourning clothes and led the clan men to bow down to Emperor Daxing and weep for mourning.In his cries, there was less sorrow for his father's death, and more for the luck that he had gone through setbacks and the heavens took care of him, and finally made him the crown prince and the new crown prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.For this, he was infinitely moved and couldn't help crying.

After paying homage to the Daxing Emperor, the crown prince was led by his servants to rest in the side hall.Next came the queen and others to worship the emperor.Ji Jin supported the crying mother and concubine, followed behind the queen, walked into the main hall of Qianqing Palace, knelt down, bent over, and kowtowed...

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but when she saw the coffin of her father parked above, she couldn't help crying again.

There were people who cried harder than her and concubine Xiao Guifei, and that was Concubine Zhao, mother and daughter who were behind the two of them.Concubine Zhao's wails rang out the moment the emperor collapsed, shaking people's hearts, and the second princess, Jiming, also cried along with her mother and concubine, and the crying was not small.

At this moment, the two cried even more hoarsely, which was heartbreaking to hear.

As the late emperor's favorite minister, Wei Yu was also the Minister of Internal Affairs, and she presided over the sacrificial ceremonies in the emperor's will.Standing next to the emperor's coffin in Qianqing Palace, she looked at the crying women in front of her, and felt sorry for them.When the first emperor Longyu passed away, these concubines became widows. Fortunately, those who had children would be regarded as concubines and concubines and moved to the Cining Palace in the west, and those who had no children should not be released from the palace. If there is a decree, they will be buried together...the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies has already done it before, and all the childless and low-level concubines on the booklet will be forcibly hanged, following in the footsteps of Emperor Daxing Serve him underground.

In the late emperor's edict, Wei Yu continued to serve as the supervisor of ceremonies and the admiral of Dongchang, assisting the new emperor who was about to succeed to the throne.And Li Yizhi, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and others naturally continued to serve as cabinet ministers to assist the new emperor.The unique edict of the only emperor is that he asked Jin Wang Ji Wenkai to worship him when he came back, and when the coffin entered the imperial mausoleum after the 27th, he asked him to bring his mother and concubine to the domain within three days.As for King Jin's concubine, he had chosen for him earlier, and when the one-year mourning period for the emperor was over, she would be sent by the Ministry of Rites to marry him in the Taiyuan Mansion of Jiufan.In fact, the general prince should mourn his father for three years in order to show his filial piety.But when the emperor dictated the will, he asked the third prince to only observe the funeral for himself for one year. This was also because he wanted his favorite son to get married as soon as possible and have children.

The emperor was so anxious to ask the third prince to go to the vassal, because he felt that the more he stayed in the capital, the more worried he would be.This worry is a kind of love for his son as a father.In fact, when the emperor died, he secretly regretted it. He knew it would be the end. He cared about his filial piety and ignored his own wishes and his beloved son. Now this situation.All through the ages, the princes of the Great Xia Dynasty were truly free and safe only in the feudal land. Staying in the imperial city would only make the brothers who became the new emperor look bad. Maybe a dark thought would arise, and they would be in bad luck.

As for Concubine Zhao, he wanted the third prince, Ji Wenkai, to take her away with him when he became a vassal, because he was afraid that Concubine Zhao would be squeezed out by those concubines who hated her if she stayed in the palace, and even further, would be persecuted.Although the emperor felt that neither the empress nor Concubine Xiao was a villainous person, people's hearts would change, or maybe they were honest with him before, but when he let go, maybe they would change?

Because of this kind of worry, the emperor made a special decree to protect Concubine Zhao. As long as she went to the domain with her son Jin Wang Wenkai, the sky would be far away from the emperor, and even if there were people in the palace who wanted to punish her, they would not be so concerned. Long hands can reach it.

This is the last thing he can do for his favorite woman and his favorite son.

As for Ji Jin and the others, he was also concerned, and had a decree for the emperor, asking him to take good care of his sisters, and after the one-year mourning period, immediately let the three son-in-laws whom he had previously selected by looking at them be their lords. Said that there must be more rewards.

Regarding Concubine Hui's mother and son, he also said that when the fourth prince, Wen Nan, grows up and holds the crowning ceremony, he will be generously given to marry the concubine, and he will become a fief.For the fourth prince, the emperor was very relieved, thinking that he should be able to live a prosperous and comfortable life like ordinary vassal kings, and Concubine Hui could follow him to the fiefdom to spend her old age in peace.

The emperor specially added the last words to ask the emperor and others to be filial to the empress dowager, otherwise he would feel uneasy after walking under the nine springs, and he would not forgive the unfilial people.

His words of asking everyone to honor the Empress Dowager were a bit serious. At that time, all the princes, princesses and concubines including the empress bowed down and kowtowed and said that they would obey the emperor's will.

In addition, we must find out the person who pretended to be a ghost in the Ciqing Palace and threatened the Empress Dowager, and the person who assassinated him in the Thanksgiving Temple.For these two matters, he called the new crown prince and Wei Yu to come forward together, and said in front of the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground. He asked the new emperor to take those two cases as the top priority after he succeeds to the throne. .

The crown prince agreed, and Wei Yu also said that she already had some clues, and she would definitely find out to satisfy the emperor.

After the emperor finished explaining what happened in one breath, he was so tired that he closed his eyes and couldn't speak anymore. Then he gasped for breath and fell into a dying state.After more than three hours, he died.

Wei Yu was also in front of the emperor's dragon bed at that time, personally watching the emperor drive the crane west, watching everyone in the hall knelt down and howled to send the emperor off...

Her heart was more tied to Ji Jin, and seeing her crying so much that her round eyes were red and swollen like peaches, the pear blossoms were raining, and her temple hair was disheveled, she couldn't bear it.I can't wait to go forward to hold her in my arms and comfort her well.There is no way to see it, with so many people in front of her, she can't even look at her twice, lest she attract attention, be jealous and suspicious.

Wei Yu didn't know what to say about the crown prince.It stands to reason that like the emperor, she is also optimistic about the third prince Ji Wenkai, thinking that he is the most suitable heir to the throne.However, Wei Yu also thought the same as the empress dowager and others. The ancestors' rules and patriarchal rituals are there. The second prince is the eldest son of the concubine. If there is no son-in-law, he should inherit the throne.Previously, Wei Yu had always thought like most people, thinking that the second prince was cowardly and incompetent, but a series of things happened in the back palace, until the emperor went to the Thanksgiving Temple and was assassinated. Although the clues were broken, it was not finally investigated who was murderer.But according to the principle of reasoning, whoever benefits is the murderer, Wei Yu also suspected the second prince.However, she couldn't convince herself to really investigate the second prince carefully. After all, the second prince has been famous for being cowardly and incompetent over the years, and no one would think that he would have the courage to do such a thing of assassinating the emperor.

Just at the time of doubt, the emperor passed away suddenly.Even though she also left a last word asking her to continue investigating the assassination, the crown prince also agreed to the emperor to find out the matter.However, Wei Yu thought, if the former second prince, the current crown prince, and the future new emperor were really found out by her investigation to be behind a series of events in the palace and the assassination at the Thanksgiving Temple outside the palace, what should she do?Should this be made public, or should we pretend not to know?Should we confront the new emperor, or suppress the matter and stop investigating?

If she pretended not to know, she felt that she was sorry for the respect, promotion and trust of the emperor over the years, as well as Ji Jin, she also felt ashamed and could not confess.

But if it is announced to the public and confronted with the emperor, it is an open confrontation with the new emperor.What will happen, she doesn't need to think about it, she also knows that the imperial power is supreme, and she can only do this unless she doesn't want to live anymore.Comparing her strength with that of the new emperor, it is undoubtedly like a fly shaking a big tree... She is extremely contradictory.

After Jin Wang Ji Wenkai received the emperor's imperial edict ordering him to return to the palace immediately from the Dongchang imperial envoy sent by Wei Yu, he was accompanied by dozens of guards and the servants he brought to the Xuanfu, and flew to the capital. rush.Along the way, he didn't rest for a moment, and even killed several horses, before he arrived at the gate of the palace at sunset.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he immediately felt that it was different from usual. The palace gate was closed tightly, and there were several times more guards in the capital in front of the gate than usual.The servant who served him went forward to issue his badge and imperial decree, and then the leader of the imperial army shouted to the tower, and then the servant who was in charge of guarding the gate showed his face, looked at him a few times, and asked someone to open the palace gate.

Ji Wenkai jumped off his horse and walked in quickly.Just when he was about to walk in, he found that the servants who came out in front of him were all wearing mourning clothes.Seeing this scene, he felt a bang in his head, his feet went limp, and he knelt down.

He yelled in pain, "Father!"

Then he beat the ground and burst into tears, murmuring continuously: "My son is not filial, my son came back late..."

After receiving the imperial edict from Dongchang's imperial envoy, he asked what happened in the lower palace.At that time, the servant who was the imperial envoy said that the emperor was ill, and ordered him to return to the palace immediately.

He became anxious as soon as he heard it, and guessed that his father must be seriously ill, so there was such a decree.Xuanfu was about four hundred miles away from the capital, and he received the order around Chenshi, and then he mounted his horse and returned to the capital.After running for [-] miles on the road, except for drinking some water in the skin bag he carried with him, he didn't care about eating anything, and rushed to the capital in a hurry.I kept praying in my heart for God and Buddha to bless him, so that he could see his father, and his father would recover, and nothing would happen to him...

Who knew that when they arrived in the capital and entered the palace, they still saw the scene they least wanted to see, the servants in mourning clothes, and the mournful cries of everyone in the palace.

In the evening, the gloomy clouds over the imperial city made people feel suffocated and chest tight.

The servant who came to open the door to welcome him came forward to help him: "My condolences, Your Highness, I'd better get up quickly and change clothes, and go to Qianqing Palace to worship the late emperor."
