After going to court, Zhou Yu took the lead in returning to the dormitory hall where the mourning hall was still located. The late emperor had not yet been buried in this hall. Although several days had passed, the late emperor in the coffin still looked lifelike.

Zhou Yu only knew that after the people from the Imperial Hospital arrived, they followed the servants to clean up the late emperor. They also rubbed some kind of ointment with unknown ingredients all over the late emperor's body. After a messy work, they brought over the scores.

Laying ice on one of the layers of the coffin, and this is only the first step.

I heard from the Imperial Hospital that once all the procedures are completed, it can be guaranteed that there will be no decay for at least a few months. This is also the main reason why ancient emperors' mourning halls only lasted a month or two.

Although it is now a top priority to bury the late emperor as soon as possible, things must be done step by step, especially the emperor's burial, which cannot be handled casually. Even if the speed is accelerated, the late emperor will probably continue to lie here for most of his life.

Only a few months will do.

Zhou Yu would come here to kowtow three times and once every day, and he would stay here at night, dozing off while keeping vigil. This was a way of showing his filial respect to the late emperor because of his status, but there was more to it.

Or do it for others to see.

In ancient times, filial piety was the first priority in everything. In this matter, it was impossible for Zhou Yu to allow others to grasp anything.

I knelt in front of the mourning hall for a while, and soon Taiwei Jian and Liu Yuan came hand in hand.

Seeing Zhou Yu standing in front of the mourning hall, the two of them quickly stepped forward and knelt on the ground. They kowtowed to the mourning hall first, and then saluted Zhou Yu.

"His Majesty."

"coming."

Zhou Yu stood up slowly, glanced at the two people who were still prostrate on the ground, and nodded gently: "Lieutenant, uncle, please get up quickly."

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Taiwei Jian and Liu Yuan slowly got up, and at Zhou Yu's instruction, they knelt down and sat in front of the small tables on both sides of the mourning hall.

Zhou Yu also found a place to sit down and looked at the two of them: "Do you know what happened to the person who was killed by the stick today?"

Liu Yuan did not speak but glanced at Taiwei Tai, who was sitting upright and said calmly: "This person is a close confidant of Empress Gao. His proposal to let Empress Dowager regent is probably just a pretext. The ultimate goal is probably to let Empress Gao enter the palace as regent.

After all, the direct biological mother is the biological mother."

"High empress... high empress..." Zhou Yu nodded lightly, putting his hands on the table to support his chin: "Is it possible that the high empress party is still unwilling to accept it? How can it be so virtuous? There are three unfilial piety, not having a descendant is the worst, high empress

One of them has been occupied, and the second mourning hall has been set up for several days but she has never been seen. As the late emperor, the queen was so ruthless and unjust to the late emperor, which further shows her disloyalty to the late emperor."

"Such an unfilial, unfaithful, ruthless and unjust person will probably lose the dignity of the royal family if word spreads about it. If my aunt is such a person, then what will the people and officials in the world think of me? Will they think that I am the same as the empress?

, are they all unfaithful, unfilial, heartless and unjust people?"

"Hey." Zhou Yu sighed and turned to look in the direction of the coffin: "But when my father was still alive, he was very partial to the queen, and he is my elder. This is really embarrassing. You two, what should we do?

.”

Captain Taiwei was silent for a moment, and then said: "Perhaps the Queen is willing to accompany the Buddha lamp in green clothes and pray for the late Emperor and His Majesty day and night, which can also show her loyalty and filial piety."

Zhou Yu nodded helplessly: "That's it, food is indispensable, but I can tell you that she will always be my legitimate mother, and the position of the Queen Mother will always be hers. This kind of loyalty and filial piety

The move is admirable. As for the other party, it is a bit lonely for the emperor to travel alone, so let them accompany him."

"If you encounter someone who is disloyal and disruptive to the country, let the Taiwei and the Emperor's uncle make the decision to confiscate the property directly. The proceeds from the confiscation will be put into the internal treasury."

Taiwei raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is still some time before the funeral of the late emperor, so there is no need to worry at this time."

"You can just arrange these things. I won't ask any more questions." Zhou Yu waved his hand and asked, "Uncle Emperor, who is the current commander of the Forbidden Army?"

Liu Yuan quickly said: "The commander of the Forbidden Army is Liu Qi, a clan member of the royal family. He was personally granted the title by the late emperor. However, the late emperor fell ill after his death and has been recuperating at home for several days. I am currently in charge of the forbidden army."

Zhou Yu suddenly realized: "I said why I haven't seen my imperial guard general for a few days after taking the throne. It turns out that he is ill. Taiwei, let people from the Taiyi Hospital go and take a look, and let him recover well. Don't worry, but the emperor's uncle

It is not appropriate to be in charge of the imperial guards all the time. In this case, the Taiwei and the emperor's uncle will discuss and select a trustworthy person to serve as the new commander of the imperial army."

The two of them responded: "Yes."

Zhou Yu stood up and said, "Uncle Taiwei, go ahead and put some incense sticks on the late emperor. I will stay here alone to accompany my father."

Taiwei Jian and Liu Yuan said their goodbyes after offering incense and left, leaving only Zhou Yu to stay in the mourning hall. However, Zhou Yu was not bored. He dozed off and read a book, feeling that the time would pass quickly.

After Taiwei and Liu Yuan left, Liu Yuan showed an incredulous expression, slapped himself in the face and said in confusion: "Lieutenant, what your Majesty is doing now is really not what you taught him?

"

"No." Captain Nao shook his head calmly: "Your Majesty and I have only known each other for a few days, and the general thinks that I am not capable of teaching such Your Majesty."

Liu Yuan hissed: "But if it weren't for your teachings, Taiwei, the concubine would not be able to do this. Could it be that she is really Su Hui?"

Captain Tai said decisively: "It can only be Su Hui, the enlightened master specially given to us by our ancestors."

Liu Yuan lowered his voice: "Is it possible that it's an evil spirit..."

"Nonsense!" Taiwei glared at Liu Yuan and said angrily: "Evil things don't exist at all. You may have actually seen evil things. They are all fabricated by people with evil intentions, not to mention that Your Majesty has a dragon.

He is possessed by Qi and the fate of the country is close to him. Even if there is an evil spirit, how can it affect His Majesty?"

"Although His Majesty is young, he is definitely a person who is born with knowledge and wisdom. Otherwise, how could he be chosen as the crown prince by the late emperor among many princes? General, please don't be confused about this kind of thing."

Liu Yuan clapped his mouth quickly: "I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense, please don't mind it, Lieutenant Commander."

Captain Taiwei sighed and reminded: "General, although your Majesty is young, he is very independent, and his intelligence is rare in the world. He is a born emperor. Although he is still underage, he has already shown himself to be the future emperor.

With his talent, he will be a hero who will unify the world. The day of resurgence is right in front of us. We should be glad that your majesty is our majesty."

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for only a few days, and all the courtiers have obeyed both kindness and power. Isn't it the same for you and me? Such methods may be ignored? Have you ever thought about why you and I were recruited here today?

And not anyone else? This shows that His Majesty has regarded you and me as one of his own."

"The general needs to remember his identity at all times and do what he should do. In this way, the general will definitely leave his name throughout the ages, and he will be a wolf in the battlefield. But you need to remember that your majesty is today.

It is absolutely impossible to allow disobedient people around you, and anyone who is disobedient will definitely not be able to escape His Majesty's glorious power."

Liu Yuan bowed deeply towards Taiwei Taiwei, bowed his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Taiwei, for reminding me. Yuan must keep it in mind."

Captain Jiao patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder: "Let's go. We must complete the things His Majesty asked us to do as soon as possible to live up to His Majesty's trust."

Liu Yuan's character is really straight when he says he is honest, and he must be reckless if he says he is reckless. But if such a person admires someone, then he really admires it. As long as you are always better than him, he will always be.

For several days in a row, there was no suggestion in the court that the Queen Mother and the Concubine should be regents, and the affairs of the court continued to be handled by Taiwei Jian, Liu Yuan, and Liu Wei.

Captain Tai was a trusted minister, and Liu Yuan also struck twice in succession. Among the three of them, Zhou Yu was the only one who could influence and control two of them, while the last one, Liu Wei, never let Zhou Yu seize the opportunity.

He also has a bit of an old foxy attitude that makes people confused, and he doesn't know what this guy is planning in his mind.

Except for Zhou Yu's voice that day, he has been acting as his mascot honestly these days.

In other words, he nodded his head and said only six sentences: What does the Taiwei mean? What the Taiwei said makes sense; What does the General mean? What the General says makes sense; What does the Prime Minister mean? What the Prime Minister says makes sense.

Over and over again, there are only these six sentences. In addition to being a mascot, it also looks like a puppet, but this is just a performance.

As soon as the incident occurred on the first day, the courtiers did not really think that Zhou Yu was just a mascot. They felt that Zhou Yu was basically a fierce dragon dressed as a white rabbit, which made people respect and fear him.

The respectful manners of the Taiwei and the General towards Zhou Yu were not fake. Even if they could decide something in one word, they would still repeat it to Zhou Yu. Only when Zhou Yu truly nodded could it be regarded as

confirm.

Taiwei Taiwei would come to teach Zhou Yu every day, and it only lasted for an hour. When an hour passed, Taiwei Taiyi would often leave in shock. Liu Yuan was lucky enough to come and teach Zhou Yu about the country's military.

After leaving home, they didn't sleep all night. Both of them were shocked by Zhou Yu's learning ability, which was almost equivalent to a photographic memory, analysis ability and summary ability.

But later on, he gradually got used to it and began to instill more things into Zhou Yu. However, Zhou Yu could just listen to some of them. Zhou Yu did not learn those things from those who knew the book. As an emperor, he did not need these at all.

As an emperor, when someone tries to reason with you, you should talk about imperial power; when someone talks about imperial power to you, you should talk about righteousness; when they talk to you about righteousness, you should talk about feelings.

In short, you can't fall into other people's traps.

As time passed slowly, Zhou Yu also gradually began to understand more things about the world, things about the court, the country, the harem, and the clan.

The new commander of the imperial guards was also selected on the recommendation of Taiwei Jian and Liu Yuan. He is a warrior who looks calm and strong. He doesn't talk much but has a high sense of presence. He can attract everyone as soon as he stands out.

With little discernment, this person is not a member of the royal family, but a son of a good family who was selected from among the nobles. His name is Zhou Shengxu. He is only twenty-seven or eighty-year-old, but he has also served in the Imperial Guard for many years.

It is worth mentioning that this person is a cousin of Zhou Shengchen, the king of Xiao Nanchen, and a clansman of Zhou Shengchen's birth mother. This selection of this person as the commander of the imperial guard is somewhat meant to appease the Zhou Sheng family.

Having a commander naturally requires a commander to control each other. The main candidate was not selected among the clan members, and the position of deputy commander was given to the son of the former commander Liu Qi. Liu Bin, who is twenty-two, can also be regarded as a clan clan member.

among the list.

After the two took office, they quickly took over the entire imperial guard. From this time on, one of them would always be guarding Zhou Yu.

In addition, Zhou Yu also built another personal guard. The number was not very large, but neither Zhou Shengxu nor Liu Bin could mobilize it, and they only obeyed the orders of Zhou Yu alone.

Only then did Zhou Yu feel that people could feel more at ease in Nuo Da's harem, and he could sleep more peacefully every day.

In this way, it had been almost a month since Zhou Yu came to this world. As soon as he went to court, he saw Zhao Teng, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Kneel down.

"I see you, Your Majesty. I have lived up to your Majesty's trust and have brought King Xiao Nanchen into the capital. I only need an imperial decree from Your Majesty to allow King Xiao Nanchen and thousands of elite soldiers to enter the city."

Zhou Yu hurriedly walked over and helped Zhao Teng to stand up. As a child, it was impossible to really help Zhao Teng up, but as soon as the idea came to him, Zhao Teng quickly followed suit and stood up.

"Chang Shi Zhao, you have worked hard on this trip, and I would like to thank you for your great contribution."

It wasn't until he said this that Zhou Yu's face showed a hint of joy. The long-awaited Zhou's birthday finally arrived. I don't know if this Zhou's birthday is really as beautiful as the rumors said.

A naturally handsome man, this made Zhou Yu somewhat curious, wondering who was more handsome between Zhou Shengchen and himself.

Another thing, once Zhou Shengchen arrives, the world will be settled. After all, the death of the late emperor was too sudden, and there are a lot of rumors among the clan kings. This has always been a headache for Taiwei.

, but now that Zhou Shengchen has arrived, as long as his identity as Zhou Yu is confirmed, the world will be at peace in an instant.

But what makes Zhou Yu most happy is the thousands of elite soldiers brought by Zhou Shengchen. These elite soldiers are all soldiers under Zhou Shengchen. They have been fighting for the country. Their overall credibility is definitely higher than that of other guards in the capital today.

The one with higher credibility will then become the purest force in Zhou Yu's hands, making his position more stable and bringing many benefits.

Zhao Teng was not as arrogant and domineering as he would be in the future. He was even less likely to have domineering thoughts when facing Zhou Yu. Hearing Zhou Yu's praise, he quickly said: "It's not hard work. It's a slave's honor to serve His Majesty. No matter how tired or hard it is, I will

It’s worth it too.”

"Haha, you can say more after Changshi Zhao speaks nicely." Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Okay, I will not forget what I promised you. I will let you rest after the funeral of the late emperor, and go back to carefully select your successor.

My child, but I also have a request. This person must be knowledgeable and courteous, and must not be a pampered or overbearing person."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Changshi knelt down again and kowtowed: "I will definitely choose my slave carefully."

"Okay." Zhou Yu smiled and patted Zhao Teng on the shoulder and said: "First invite King Xiao Nanchen in and let him bring a hundred followers into the city. The rest of the soldiers must be settled and prepared in advance. Wait for me and Xiao Nanchen
