The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 754 National mourning (2)
Wei Zhang suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and a bone-piercing cold rose from his back. He raised his hand and tightened his cloak, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll come after I change my clothes."

In the early morning of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, at the first moment of the ugly hour, several auxiliary ministers in the Zichen Palace were there.

Zhou Taiyu and Zhen Molin knelt in front of the dragon couch once.Yao Yuanzhi was writing and standing in front of a dragon table next to it. On the dragon bed, the emperor said a word, Yao Yuanzhi wrote a sentence, the emperor said a few words and stopped, and Yao Yuanzhi stood there holding a pen and waiting.

Outside the hall, Yunmin and Yunying knelt at the entrance of the hall, and then Concubine Hui led all the concubines in the harem to kneel under the eaves outside the hall.

The cold wind was howling, and a group of delicate and expensive women were shivering in a cloak. Lin Sumo was so weak that she could hardly kneel, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.The eighth prince who was a few months old was held in the arms of a palace nanny behind her.

Concubine Jin was kneeling two steps away from Lin Sumo's left, behind her was the Seventh Prince, seeing Wei Zhang coming in from the palace gate, Concubine Jin swept her resentful gaze back, skipping over the Eighth Prince in the arms of Madam Gong, After a short pause, he retracted angrily.

When Wei Zhang entered the palace, the imperial edict had already been written, and the emperor exhausted his last bit of strength, leaning on the couch and gasping for breath.

"Your Majesty, General Wei is here." Wynn reminded softly from the side.

The emperor gasped for a long time before opening his eyes and looking at Wei Zhang.Wei Zhang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "My minister Wei Zhang kowtows to the emperor."

The emperor nodded, but did not speak.

Wei Zhang knelt on the ground and touched his forehead to the ground. Naturally, he couldn't get up if the emperor didn't speak.

The hall fell silent all of a sudden, even Yun Ying, who was crying softly, stopped crying.

Everyone didn't know why the emperor had to call Wei Zhang at such a time. Everyone was waiting for the emperor to speak.

But the emperor didn't say anything, just looked at Wei Zhang who was kneeling on the ground, until the hand held by Yun Ying gradually lost strength and became stiff.

"Father! Father—" Yunying realized in an instant, and cried bitterly on the emperor's body.

"Your Majesty!" Wynn also knelt down.

"Your Majesty—" Several auxiliary ministers and eunuchs and maids in the Zichen Palace also knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty—" There was a mournful cry from outside the main hall.

On the 36th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 28th year of Dayun Wende, the emperor died of illness.At the age of 61.

Emperor Wende reigned for 36 years, recruiting talented people, recruiting people with lofty ideals, emphasizing education, promoting filial piety, enforcing new policies, promoting water conservancy, pacifying western borders, and suppressing northern bandits.There are countless achievements in his life, and he can be called a generation of heroes.

The painful death knell echoed over Yundu City, and countless ministers and people gathered in front of Shuntian Gate to kneel down and cry.

Every household covered up the big red Spring Festival couplets and the big red blessing characters with elegiac couplets and white curtains.The entire Yundu City was covered in a vast expanse of whiteness.

Yao Yanyu stood in front of the big dressing mirror and looked at herself in plain sacrificial attire in the mirror, and sighed helplessly: "Yesterday I said that I hope the emperor can survive this year. I didn't expect it to be so soon..."

"This is something that can't be helped, Madam has done her best." Cui Wei tidied up her dress, and finally checked her makeup, Fang said: "Okay."

Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the second day after the emperor passed away.All the courtiers entered the palace to kowtow and offer incense to the emperor's coffin, and Yao Yanyu, as a second-rank medical officer, naturally had to go there too.

After the emperor passed away, Wei Zhang mobilized Jinlin Guards to guard the nine gates of the capital. Interrogations were strictly prohibited, and no suspicious persons were allowed to enter or leave, in case someone took the opportunity to cause chaos.This is the new emperor's order, and it should be the emperor's order before he died, but he didn't have time to say it.

Yao Yanyu brought Cuiwei Cuiping and other medical officials of rank five and above in the National Medical Center into the palace to pay homage to the Emperor Daxing.

The royal family members and princes and ministers were in the palace to mourn for Emperor Daxing and could not go home as usual, and according to the rules, they were not allowed to wash up during the mourning period, and all of them had to be disheveled to express their deep sorrow, and had to wait for Emperor Daxing to come back. After the coffin was taken out of the palace and sent to the imperial mausoleum for rest, everyone was allowed to go home and take a bath.

In addition, the officials of all ministries had to observe filial piety in their own yamen, and they were also not allowed to go home, just like those royal family members and the emperor's close officials in the palace.

As a second-rank medical officer, Yao Yanyu also had to follow the rules, but she was pregnant, her movements were already very clumsy, and it was very inconvenient for a woman to mix among those men.Yunying also looked at Yao Yuanzhi and Wei Zhang's face, and allowed her not to stay in the palace for mourning, but to go back to the mansion and pray devoutly in the direction of the palace every day.

After paying homage to the Emperor Daxing, he came out of the Zichen Hall, and walked out slowly with Cuiwei's support.

Wei Zhang was in charge of the safety of the palace and even the imperial city, so he didn't know where he was busy at the moment, and Yao Yanyu didn't see him when he entered the palace this time.

At this time, the emperor had just passed away and the new monarch had not yet been established. This was the time when troubles were most likely to arise. We had to beware of those who wanted to instigate riots.

Yao Yanyu supported Cuiwei's hand and slowly walked out of the palace gate and walked through the long corridor. After turning the corner, she saw Yunyao in plain clothes standing in the cold wind, a thin and slender figure in men's clothing, if you don't look carefully , will definitely regard her as a handsome son.

Years ago, because the emperor was seriously ill, all those who were of marriageable age in the royal family got married in a hurry. Only Yun Yao, who was 21 years old, was still in her boudoir.And he wears men's clothes all day long, spends time in the schoolyard practicing riding and archery skills, and refuses to stay at home, and turns his face when Princess Cheng talks about the marriage.

Yao Yanyu stopped in her tracks, and said softly, "I've seen the princess."

Yun Yao took a look at Cuiwei and Bai Kou Yuguo who were behind her, Yao Yanyu turned her head and told them: "You guys step back."

Cuiwei and the others did not dare to object, so they had no choice but to resign.

"How is the princess? How is the princess?" Yao Yanyu asked politely.

"It's all good, thank you for thinking about it." Yunyao and Yao Yanyu walked out of the palace side by side, "How are you? I think you are so stupid, are you about to give birth?"

"It will take more than a month." Yao Yanyu stretched out his hand to touch his stomach, and asked again: "A few days ago, I sent someone to send the Qinggan Mingmu pill to the princess. I don't know if the princess has used it. How effective is it?"

Yun Yao smiled lightly, and said: "I just want to thank you for telling me this. After taking your pills, my concubine's eyes are much clearer, and I don't feel dizzy anymore."

"It's good if it works." Yao Yanyu nodded with a light smile.

Yun Yao stopped talking, and Yao Yanyu didn't know what to say.Ordinarily, she and Yunyao were already very familiar, but she still couldn't figure out what was going on in her heart.When she was in the bamboo grove in the cemetery, she obviously found out that she was special to Yelang, and thought that they would be a couple when they came back, but she didn't expect that there was no movement until now.

Could it be that Prince Cheng disagreed with Ye Lan's status being too low?Yao Yanyu sighed silently from the heart.
