Chapter 92

The queen assigned Wen Jing a very important 'task', dealing with the burial of the palace people who died under the sword of the rebel army.

For Wen Jing, who is about to become the lord of the new Six Houses, this is undoubtedly a good job.But Ke Lanshao was a little worried. If the empress handled it properly, she would naturally win her reputation and hearts.

But this is also a matter of life and death. No matter what happened in life, the world pays attention to a matter after death.If there is any inappropriateness, the palace people will discuss it in private, and it is inevitable that some people will resent and give birth to right and wrong.

However, Wen Jing knew it well, a person has experienced so many things in his life, how can he retreat when encountering a little difficulty.Moreover, over the generations of Dayong, there have been palace chaos more than once, and the specific handling methods are recorded in the book. Wen Jing only needs to learn from the predecessors' practices and make slight changes.

Wen Jing wrote down several specific arrangements, pointed to the personnel booklet and said, "Zhuyun, you go with the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask everyone to sort out a list of casualties."

"If there are still family members in the family, five taels of silver will be given to his family as funeral expenses. Those who have no family members will be buried in the suburbs of Beijing."

"I don't care about the process, I only look at the results. Anyone who makes false reports or misses reports, or deceives others for the sake of getting five taels of money, the only person in charge is to ask."

In the main hall of Fengyi Palace, Aunt Sui He accompanied the Queen to sort out the private treasury.

Looking at Empress Song's expression, she thought about probing, "Your Majesty, just now the Crown Princess has sent someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Holding a ruby ​​jade pendant carved into a peony flower in her hand, the queen couldn't put it down, and she just responded lightly: "Good thing, this Wen's brain is pretty smart."

Sui He hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, wait for Your Highness to ascend the throne, this harem."

She didn't finish her sentence, but was stopped back by the queen's sharp eyes. The queen's voice was a little harsh: "At least I have raised the prince for a while. I know his temperament best."

"If this palace wants to keep the glory and wealth of the Song family, I don't want the Song family to be prosperous, but the royal family must always have a blood from the Song family. If you want to do this, you have to make concessions, and the power of the harem can only be handed over to the Song family." into Wen's hands."

The queen glared at Sui He again: "Why do you live more and more?"

The queen made a joke, but Aunt Sui He turned pale. Before she knelt down to plead guilty, a silent bell suddenly sounded outside.

The empress turned her head abruptly, she was very familiar with the sound of the bell, she had heard it once before the late emperor passed away.

And the faces of the servants had already changed drastically, they all knelt down, no matter whether they cried or not, they all covered their faces and wept.

The queen and Wen Jing hurried to the Hall of Liangyi, Jiang Xufeng knelt in front of Emperor Kant's dragon bed, his eyes were red, and his face was full of sadness.

Song Zhao knelt behind Jiang Xufeng, also with a look of enduring grief, and walked to Jiang Xufeng's side: "Your Highness is the prince of the country, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, please follow the ancestral system, arrange the funeral of the late emperor, and choose an auspicious day enthroned."

Taifu Du, who had lost his sense of existence in the court since he was getting older and had no successors, kowtowed at this moment and shouted loudly: "I kneel to ask the emperor to express my condolences."

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the ministers also shouted: "I kneel to ask the emperor to mourn."

Jiang Xufeng and all the ministers just so tacitly pushed forward and asked four times.

Jiang Xufeng first kowtowed heavily in the direction of Emperor Kangde: "Because of the great love of my father, I was established as the heir apparent since I was a child. Now that I have inherited the great responsibility, I will definitely care about the world, work hard to govern, and promote the great power of my country, so as not to fall into the prestige of my ancestors."

Then Jiang Xufeng's tears fell, and the hall instantly burst into tears.

Although it is the emperor and the courtiers, but for the weather-beaten palace, there is no change at all.The court and harem were all in order. Emperor Kant's mourning hall was set up in Changning Palace, and he was buried on an auspicious day after seven days of mourning.

Similarly, Jiang Xufeng, as the new emperor, does not need to keep his filial piety for Emperor Kant for three years, seven days is enough.

Wen Jing took the food box and entered the Jiayan Palace, where Jiang Xufeng and her are still living here for the time being.

Zhu Zhan, as the personal manager of the new emperor, knows his master's mind very well, and has already secretly started to clean up the Taichen Palace. All the things used by Emperor Kant are replaced according to Jiang Xufeng's preferences, and the corners are re-washed Pass.

The same is true in Fengyi Palace, where Empress Song brought people to pack things.Although the Empress Dowager's residence, Shoukang Palace, has been unoccupied for more than ten years, it is cleaned every day and maintained every year. There is a small garden with a pleasant scenery behind it.

"Your majesty, you haven't eaten anything all day, and my concubine asked the imperial dining room to make soup."

Jiang Xufeng rubbed the center of his brows. Of course, he wasn't overly sad as the outside world said, but he had been eating irregularly and feeling sick in his stomach recently, so he could just put on a show.He pulled Wen Jing to sit down: "The palace is busy, but are you still used to it?"

Wen Jing filled a bowl of soup and put it in Jiang Xufeng's hands: "The concubine learned from her mother and benefited a lot."

Jiang Xufeng smiled gently, but his eyes were very serious: "If you don't understand, please ask the queen mother, I will rely on the queen for everything in the harem."

Such a clever palace man who can have some dignity in the palace, changed his title in private the moment Emperor Kant died.Empress Song was honored as the Empress Dowager, and the Crown Prince Concubine became the Empress Empress.

Wen Jing also listened to a few words back and forth between Taichen Palace and Fengyi Palace, and then the word "Queen" came from Jiang Xufeng's mouth, which made Wen Jing slightly stunned. After a while, the sense of unreality that had been coming for days finally disappeared, and her heart also Slowly settled down.Wen Jing looked back into Jiang Xufeng's eyes, and replied, "Okay."

After eating a bowl of soup, Jiang Xufeng felt much better in his stomach. Seeing that it was still early before going to bed, he dragged Wen Jing to the emperor's private treasury.

Dayong's emperor's private treasury was handed down from the previous dynasty, and it is really inclusive of everything that one expects to find.

Wen Jing stood at the door of the warehouse, unable to see the end of the room for a while, the place near the door was full of things.

"Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

Jiang Xufeng didn't let go of his hand, but said: "The empress is about to enter the Fengyi Palace, and I also want to choose something to congratulate the empress."

Wen Jing pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes had already landed on a screen, so she was no longer polite.The large folding screen is embroidered with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, which is a rare double-sided embroidery. The picture is vivid and exquisite.

Jiang Xufeng gave Zhu Zhan a look, Zhu Zhan waved his hand lightly, and the eunuch behind him stepped forward to carry the screen to Fengyi Palace.

"Your Majesty," Wen Jing put her hand on Jiang Xufeng's. She was just attracted by the screen. It is not appropriate for Jiang Xufeng to give her such a valuable thing. This is not in the Prince's Mansion, there is also a Queen Mother in the palace Empress.

"Your Majesty, this screen is too expensive. The queen mother moved to Shoukang Palace, and the concubines haven't got any decent congratulatory gifts. Why don't you borrow flowers to present Buddha and dedicate this screen to the queen mother."

Jiang Xufeng didn't mind much, and the screen was not the only one, but he still scratched Wen Jing's nose with his finger: "The queen's abacus is crackling, and she took my things to please the queen."

"Your Majesty, our husband and wife are one body, regardless of you and me." Wen Jing pressed Jiang Xufeng's finger, smiling slyly.

Jiang Xufeng only felt the itch from his fingertips spread to his heart, coughed lightly, and barely looked away.

The screens of the four gentlemen were sent to the Shoukang Palace the next morning, and within three days, the Empress Dowager quickly moved to the Shoukang Palace.
