The emperor's great cause is full of all things.

As soon as the news came out of the bedroom, the Forbidden Palace had already closed all the gates of the forbidden palace. The brigade of the imperial guards were all wearing mourning clothes, wearing mourning belts, and white cloth was wrapped around the weapons.

A large group of eunuchs and palace maids ran around holding white cloth. In the forbidden palace, any house with beams or places where there were doors were hung with filial cloth.

It can be foreseen that from now on, Xiaobai's color will be transmitted from the Forbidden Palace to the Imperial City, and then spread all over the world.

When the emperor dies, he has his own set of etiquette. There is no need to mention the national filial piety. According to the system, the whole nationwide ritual and music will be closed within one year. The people are prohibited from getting married and wearing simple clothes...

If the Zhou rituals are followed, the prince should be mourning for three years, which is the same as the official Dingyou. However, considering the actual situation, the country cannot have a king for a day. Therefore, generally speaking, although the prince is mourning, it can be worth one year for one day, which is three days.

Three days later, no matter what, a new monarch must be established and the country will be inherited.

It was said that it happened three days later, but in fact, the minister in charge had already started to make arrangements when the old emperor had just made great progress.

The next day, the Daqing Hall was filled with solemnity and a great work of fun.

All officials were dressed in white and had white clothes, and they were not crowned with white clothes, and they cried like a courtesy.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, no matter how the emperor does, he has to cry at this time. He not only has to cry, but also has to cry in sorrow. It is best to faint from crying, otherwise he will not be called a loyal minister.

They were guarding the spirits in front of them, and there was also a lot of mourning in the harem. Compared with the true and false crying of the civil and military officials, there were real mourning in the harem.

Emperor Zhenzong was considered a more dedicated emperor. During his lifetime, he went from Concubine to Wanyi, from talent to concubine, including Queen Liu E, and Zhao Heng's women were only thirty.

If it were in the folk, there would be thirty wives that would make people scold them to death.

But in the palace, there were less than thirty women in the harem of an emperor. This was simply a miracle.

Speaking of which, the old emperor died, the most sad thing was these women. Many of these women were young, the youngest even in their teenage years. Once the old emperor died, they all became concubines, and from then on they were alone for life. Not to mention remarrying in the palace, it would be difficult for them to walk out of their own yard.

Thinking of these kinds of experiences in the future, who can’t cry? Not sad?

But in addition to these concubines who knew they would lose their future, the queen Liu E was even more painful at this time.

Originally, Liu E divided half of Zhao Heng's natal Gu, which could be said to be living and dying with him, but just before her death, she was stopped by Doumu Tianzun.

For most people, it is better to live without a single life than to die.

But for Liu E, death may not be a relief.

At this time, she was lying on the couch with gray hair and chapped lips. Her charming face that she had originally maintained became much older at this time.

The prince was wearing mourning clothes, knelt on the couch, crying and calling: "Mother! Mother..."

With the prince's soft call, Liu E woke up leisurely. When she opened her eyes, she saw the prince looking at her with tears in her face. She was stunned for a while, and looked around and asked in confusion and weakness: "I... am not dead?"

"Mom! You are not dead! You are not dead! You are alive." The prince pounced on him in surprise.

Liu E was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shed tears like rain.

"Official family..."

She didn't know why she was not dead, but she understood that from then on, she and Zhao Heng were separated from each other, and even on the road to the underworld might not be destined to meet.

Thinking of this, how could she not be sad or sad?

After crying for a while, Liu E's mood calmed down slightly. Looking at the thirteen-year-old prince, she felt a little moved.

I can't fall, at least I can't fall down now. Zhen'er is still too young. When I die, no one will help him.

Thinking of this, Liu E had some strength from her, so she slowly got up and was about to sit up.

The palace maid on the side hurried over to help her, but she pushed her away.

"My son, it's not the time to cry now. Let's go and go to the front hall with my mother."

Liu E stood up, let the palace maid put on her mourning clothes, took a deep breath, straightened her back and walked out the door slowly.

...

In Zichen Hall, the queen helped the prince and walked slowly into the hall wearing maroon clothes and mourning clothes. She followed Zhou Huaizheng, Lei Yungong and other eunuchs and palace maids.

Tai Sui walked among them, holding a brocade box in his hand, with a serious expression.

All the officials bowed silently!

Liu E walked to the coffin with the prince in her arms, her eyes turned red, and she held back. She pulled out a blue and white handkerchief and wiped her tears, calmed her mind, and then she slowly turned around and stood up to the ministers.

The ministers stood up slowly, and the first one was the Eight Sage Kings wearing mourning clothes.

Tai Sui also wore a mourning robes, holding a brocade box and slowly stepped forward, holding it with both hands and handing it to Zhou Huaizheng.

Zhou Huaizheng took it and turned around and bowed to Liu E.

"Present!" Liu E nodded lightly.

"Yes, Empress!"

Zhou Huaizheng responded, turned around to face the ministers, carefully removed the seal on the brocade box, the golden thread, opened the lock with the keys that had been prepared, took out the imperial edict, and slowly unfolded.

"The emperor's will is the emperor!"

As soon as Zhou Huaizheng's voice came out, all the ministers, officials, eunuchs and guards all knelt down and listened to the imperial edict. Liu E also pulled the prince to the ministers and knelt on the ground.

"Subordinate practice, short-term practice, life and death, and death, and the saints are reasonable and have no escape in ancient times. Since I ascended the throne, I have obeyed the will of heaven and recuperated the people. After twenty-five years, I have become ill and become sick, and I will not be tragic in the country. I am thinking of relatives and virtuous people, and I can be punished for my funeral. The emperor... emperor... emperor..."

After thinking about this, Zhou Huaizheng suddenly stopped and stared at the edict in shock with wide eyes. Until he confirmed that he had read it correctly, he couldn't help but look up and turned his head in panic to look at the queen Liu E and the prince.

All the civil and military officials of the court were a little surprised by Zhou Huaizheng's strange performance and looked up at him in confusion.

Liu E also looked at Zhou Huaizheng strangely, not knowing what she meant.

At this time, Lei Yungong slowly raised his head, with a sinister smile on his face, and his voice was also sinister: "Eunuch Zhou, the adults are waiting, you... are you thinking!"

Zhou Huaizheng looked at Liu E in horror and said in a trembling voice: "Empress, this will...the will..."

Liu E slowly stood up and looked at Zhou Huaizheng nervously. The prince also stood up in confusion, looked at the queen, and looked at Zhou Huaizheng.

Zhou Huaizheng's hands were trembling, and he could hardly hold the will. He said in a trembling voice: "This...this will...is something wrong with this will!"

The civil and military officials in the court heard a loud bang, and they whispered together.

Liu E looked nervous and immediately walked quickly towards Zhou Huaizheng.

At this time, Lei Yungong, who was standing beside him suddenly greeted him, and shouted to Liu E: "Empress, please stay!"

Liu E paused and frowned at Lei Yungong. Lei Yungong was owed, with a stance of Gongjin, but his eyes were sharp: "Empress, all the ministers in the court are watching. At this time... isn't it appropriate?"

The sound came into my ears, and Liu E was shocked and looked into Lei Yungong's eyes incredibly.

Lei Yungong's eyes at this time were completely different from his usual gentle appearance, his eyes were like a pool and as sharp as an eagle.

Liu E was shocked, as if she had seen something, but she was not sure, and she was caught in her courage for a moment.

Seeing her stop, Lei Yungong smiled slightly, turned around slowly, walked to Zhou Huaizheng, who was still frightened, looked at him, and raised his hand to seize the will.

Unfold the will and read it again.

"Subordinate. There are regular practices, life and death, and life and death, and the saints are reasonable and have no escape in ancient times. Since I ascended the throne, I have obeyed the will of heaven and recuperated the people. After twenty-five years, I have become ill and become sick, and I will not be in trouble. I think of my relatives and virtuousness, and I can deal with the funeral of the emperor. The emperor's brother Defang Tianzhong Ruizhe was awarded Mo Qi, and he has been a member of the king's vassals and has become more and more virtuous. He can ascend the throne in front of the coffin..."

The court suddenly became an uproar, and the civil and military ministers were inexplicably surprised. Some whispered to each other, some looked surprised, and some were stunned.

Kou Zhun suddenly looked up and looked at Lei Yungong with sharp eyes.

Ding Wei showed a cold smile at the corner of his lips.

The Eighth King Zhao Defang looked at Lei Yungong in surprise and was at a loss for a moment.

At this moment, almost everyone in the hall had different expressions.

But Lei Yungong seemed to have not noticed the changes in the court, and continued to recite the will: "...I ordered Ding Wei, Wang Qinruo, Linte, Chen Pengnian, and Liu Chenggui as the ministers of the regent, and the generals and ministers worked together, and the Chinese and foreign countries worked together to assist the king, and forever so as to sue the heavenly world. Therefore, this edict will be issued to all envoys to follow it!"
