A few days later, the King of Yan and his group returned to the capital. The people watched the fun, and the officials who did not follow him also sent people to inquire about the situation. Seeing that nothing was wrong, they would be relieved for the time being. But the next day, news came out that the emperor fell ill due to long-distance travel.

Just two days later, there was a news that the emperor died and left a will to pass on the king of Yan. The emperor ordered the king of Yan to be appointed as the crown prince, and it would be better not to mention it. Of course, this was just a saying to appease the people. The truth would be known sooner or later.

"This time is too short. What kind of disease can kill people in two days?" Chen Danxia scoffed at the lie, which could only deceive the child.

"The weather is hot, and the emperor has passed away for many days. If he delays, his body will smell bad." Xu Lang said helplessly.

"Huh." Chen Danxia covered his nose with disgust.

Xu Lang took her hand down and asked with a smile: "You can smell the stinky smell even if you are so far away?"

Chen Danxia laughed and said, "When the emperor is angry, he will hide his corpses everywhere. When the emperor dies, the stinking smell will be overwhelming."

"By the way, the King of Yan said, when he ascends the throne, I will be the champion marquis. You are the wife of the first-rank marquis." Xu Lang entered the palace in the middle of the night yesterday to meet the King of Yan.

"Madam Monkey?" Chen Danxia frowned, "It sounds so ugly."

Xu Lang laughed silently, "This marquis is not that monkey."

"I know, but it's homophone. Mrs. Monkey, forget it, I still like to call me Mrs. Xu." Chen Danxia said with a lip.

Xu Lang reached out and hugged her into her arms, and said in her ear: "I also like others to call you Mrs. Xu."

The couple was fucked for a while, and Chen Danxia said righteously: "Don't just joke around, don't really go and tell the King of Yan that you don't want to be the champion marquis. After he ascended the throne, he will be the emperor and cannot tolerate others' rebellion. There is no need to go against him in this matter."

"I know, don't worry." Xu Lang smiled, but Chen Danxia thought Mrs. Hou was not nice, so he would tell the King of Yan about this.

After three requests from all the ministers, the King of Yan was put on a dragon robe and ascended the throne to the emperor. After becoming the emperor, Gao Ju did not rush to settle the matter. He first drove the Taoist priests living in the palace out of the palace, then settled the harem, honoring the late emperor, Empress Zhao as the Queen Mother of Cining, and stayed in Shou'an; the three nobles of the late emperor all the grand concubines were all the concubines, and one beauty was the grand concubine. According to the old rules, Prince Wu sent his biological mother out of the palace to support him, and the other two concubines and the grand concubine stayed in the palace to live.

In terms of women, the late emperor was the least of the emperors of all dynasties, and only favored five women. After the late emperor's harem, Gao Yu conferred his harem, appointed Princess Yang Lingzhi as the empress of the main palace, appointed concubine Xu Xi as the concubine Yi, appointed concubine Zhao Guizhi as the concubine Zhao, and appointed wife Cao Caiyi as the virtuous concubine. Other women were enthroned, from noble concubines to noble concubines.

At this time, the news came that the Fourth Prince was overly sad and could not get sick. The person who entered the palace to cry was only to find that he had never seen the Fourth Prince come to guard the spirit. When he heard the news, he suddenly realized that the Fourth Prince had fallen ill.

Another day later, the news spread that the Fourth Prince died of illness. Chen Danxia touched his forehead, "This person died too easily." Can't he make a more reliable lie?

After Gao Ju promoted the people in the harem, he added the title of those who had made contributions in the previous dynasty. The first one was the Xiangqing Marquis Mansion. Although Zhao Chengzhi still had only one son, Gao Ju promised to give his second son a title of Xiangming Marquis, a two-way marquis. Xiangqing Marquis was very satisfied. Last time, the Zhao family also helped the emperor ascended the throne, but Empress Zhao wanted to be a virtuous queen and did not allow the former emperor to give the Zhao family a high position. This made Mr. Xiangqing very dissatisfied with this. This was also one of the reasons why he still wanted to help Gao Ju after knowing Gao Ju's life experience. The rewards are very generous now, which made Mr. Xiangqing feel that it was worth it and correct for him to abandon Empress Zhao and the Fourth Prince.

There are two marquises in one family and the Shen family. In Gao Ju's mind, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the eldest princess, the second princess, the third princess, is not his younger brother and sister, Shen Bomi and Shen Baiyu are his older brothers, and Chen Danxia is his younger sister.

The Marquis of Jingnan was Shen Baimi, and the Marquis of Jingbei was Shen Baiyu. The Tao family taught her children well. Gao Ju respected her as the wife of Shengde. It can be seen that you would not worship him and would be exempted from courtesy after seeing him. He also gave her a dragon-headed stick, which could beat the foolish king and the slanderous ministers.

Yang Lingzhi had no objection to Gao Ju's marquis of the Shen family, but why did he sign a woman from the inner house as Mrs. Shengde and give her such honor? Yang Lingzhi was furious and ran to question Gao Ju, "Long live, that Tao..."

"Queen, please use honorary title." Gao Ju interrupted her. In his previous life, Tao was his adoptive mother. Before he could repay her kindness for raising her, she was forced to death by Old Lady Shen, which made him blame himself for a long time. He had the opportunity to repay her in this life. Although he could not give her the name of the Queen Mother, she could enjoy the honor of the Queen Mother.

Yang Lingzhi took a deep breath and suppressed her churn anger, "Master Shengde, what can you do to give you such respect? Even if her two sons make great contributions, the emperor has already made them a marquis. Isn't it enough? Is it too much for you to treat the Shen family so well? It will make others dissatisfied."

A sarcasm flashed across Gao Ju's lips because he did not treat the Yang family well, so he was dissatisfied! If he had appointed Mrs. Pei as Mrs. Shengde, he would have seen that he would not bow to him and would be exempted from courtesy when he saw him; he held a dragon-headed stick and beat the foolish emperor from above and the slander from below, his queen would be happy to thank him. Gao Ju didn't want to say this directly, after all, they still had to be husband and wife.

"Empress, you are arguing. I don't need you to point fingers at the previous dynasty, you can step down." Gao Ju said coldly.

"Emperor, I don't want to interfere in politics. I just do my best to do my duty. I remind the emperor not to be stubborn." Yang Lingzhi bowed her knees and said, "Please take back the emperor's life."

Gao Ju looked at the golden phoenix on Yang Lingzhi's hair bun, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes. He closed his eyes, "You can kneel down and rest."

"Please take back the life." Yang Lingzhi knelt down, as if Gao Ge refused to change, she would be warned to death.

"Yang, I give you the position of queen, and it's easy to take it!" Gao Ju said in a deep voice. He didn't want to get into trouble with Yang Lingzhi over this matter, and his decision could not be stopped by anyone.

Yang Lingzhi opened her eyes wide and looked up at Gao Yu in disbelief. She looked into Gao Yu's cold face, and her whole body trembled and softened. Di Wei did not allow anyone to provoke him, and she felt infinite fear in her heart. She gritted her teeth and dared not say a word.

"Only this time, if you don't know how to advance or retreat, go to Changchun Palace to stay." Gao Ju had ascended the throne and had no much patience with Yang Lingzhi.

Changchun Palace is the cold palace of Dafeng Palace, and the place where the concubines who made mistakes lived after they were demoted.

"I'll leave." Yang Lingzhi supported her hands, got up from the ground, walked out with her legs weak, and then she took a long breath and collapsed on the throne after she sat in the Queen's sedan chair.

After knowing that Chen Danxia thought Mrs. Hou was not nice, Gao Ju changed his title to Duke of the Kingdom. He originally planned to wait a few years later to let Xu Lang make some military achievements and be promoted. However, Chen Danxia did not like the title of Mrs. Hou, so he would be appointed as Duke of Rui. The hero who found the treasure and resolved the great crisis mentioned by Master Fazong was Chen Danxia, ​​but she was a woman and could not give her a title, so let her wife be noble by her husband.

The titles were granted these four, and other meritorious ministers, either promotions or rewards. As for those who had been in the Zhao Hou faction and had cheated him, one was that there was no suitable replacement, and the other was that they were still mourning and Gao Ju had not moved them. The court was still peaceful for the time being, with officials above the third rank and above and foreign women entering the palace to cry every day.

Xu Lang and Shen Danxia sent the eunuch to pass the orders and returned to Lingxiyuan. Chen Danxia asked strangely: "Didn't you be the champion marquis, how could you be changed to Duke Rui?"

"Is the Duke's wife better than the Duke's wife?" Xu Lang asked with a smile.

"You won't let the emperor change you to Duke for this reason, right?" Chen Danxia asked.

"I'm not an official fan. I don't know that the emperor will sign me as a Duke. This is all the emperor's will." Xu Lang said with a clear connection. He even refused to give up the title.

Xu Lang is the youngest Duke, and Chen Danxia is the youngest Duke's wife, but Chen Danxia was not very happy and said with a pout, "Why didn't the emperor wait until the funeral is issued before you can entrust you as a Duke? At this time, we will go to the palace to cry, which is really annoying."

"We are mourning, so we don't have to go to the palace to cry. We will go to the palace to thank you tomorrow and cry at the same time." Xu Lang said lightly.

The next day, the two of them went to the palace to express their gratitude in the duke's uniform and imperial uniforms they sent yesterday. Li Deqing didn't quite understand why Gao Ju favored Xu Lang so much. That day, the palace changed, and Xu Lang clearly did not contribute, so why was his grade the highest?

Although he couldn't figure it out, Li Deqing did not dare to neglect it and immediately reported to Gao Ji, "Emperor, Duke Rui and Duke Guo's wife are here."

"Xuan them come in." Gao Ju smiled.

Li Deqing came out and brought Xu Lang and Shen Danxia in.

"No gift." Gao Ju waved his hand without waiting for the two of them to kneel down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Lang and Shen Danxia bowed.

"Give him a seat." Gao Ju said again. Li Deqing's eyes flashed slightly. It seemed that the emperor was not ordinary favor to Duke Rui!

"I am afraid, thank you for giving me a seat." Xu Lang and Shen Danxia thanked me, and the eunuch also arranged the chairs and sat down.

The two of them came to thank them, and there was nothing to say. After sitting for a while, Gao Ju took them to the Shoukang Palace where the body of the late emperor was placed. At this time, the couple of Prince Wu, Duke of England, Shen Bomi and Jiang Shoufu. Although they were in the same palace, one knelt on the left and the other knelt on the right.

Gao Ju went in and lit incense, saying, "You go and scoop three incense sticks of incense for the late emperor, burn a stack of paper money, and then leave the palace."

Xu Lang and Shen Danxia didn't want to stay here, and had no objection to Gao Ju's words. After singing incense, Xu Lang went to the left, Chen Danxia went to the right, walked to Yuan Qingyin, and called out, "Sister-in-law."

"Hey, why are you here?" Yuan Qingyin was throwing paper money into the brazier.

"I will thank you when I enter the palace, and the emperor will confer the third master as the Duke." Chen Danxia took the cushion handed over by the palace maid, "Thank you." He put the cushion on the ground, knelt down, took the stack of paper money, and put it into the brazier one by one.
