The two black treasures of Tiangui's escaped concubine

Chapter 110 A Family of Four (2)
Gong Xiangru coughed lightly at this: "Master Zhang, it's no wonder I remind you. The imperial physician Wang who said that the queen mother was bewitched by evil is still kneeling at the gate of Yongshou Palace. With the lessons learned by imperial physician Wang, I will definitely not have this Dare to say that the Queen Mother is bewitched in front of the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty just recited the heavenly curse, and as for saying that the Empress Dowager got the heavenly curse, the Holy Majesty himself never admitted it."

Zhang Ming first heard the words, stared at him, and suddenly stopped his voice.It's hard to say what the heavenly mantra is, whether it is a kind of bewitched or not.However, the emperor's move made it clear that family scandals cannot be publicized.Even Li Zimo himself thought that the sky curse was the most likely possibility.

"Thank you, Mr. Gong, for reminding me!" Zhang Mingxian thanked him, cupping his hands, almost making a big mistake after the emperor arrived.

Gong Xiangru returned the gift carefully: "Teacher Zhang is polite."

After a while, Li Zimo walked in, and several ministers bowed their heads.

Gently brushing off the dragon robe, she turned around and sat on the dragon chair, sighing: "My dear friends, you all know the news of the Queen Mother's death. I have called you here to discuss with you how to organize the funeral for the Queen Mother." .”

Several scholars, including Zhang Mingxian, exchanged eye contact, and then Zhang Mingxian came out and replied: "My lord, according to the customs of our court, when the queen mother passes away, the sage will stop court for five days and wear plain clothes. During this period, all countries will Foreign affairs are suspended. If the Holy Majesty wants to pardon the world, so as to comfort the spirit of the Empress Dowager, and express the Empress Dowager's benevolence to the people of the world, it is all right."

After listening to his words, Li Zimo seemed to be most moved by his last sentence, saying: "Back then, when the late emperor and my empress passed away, did I pardon the world?"

Zhang Ming pondered for a while before answering: "Return to Your Majesty, ministers, please remember that it is customary for the first emperor to pardon the world after his death. When the empress died, there was no such thing."

The reason why there wasn't back then was simple.Because just after the war, the national conditions are not stable.Amnesty must have prerequisites, so releasing some prisoners who should not be released is not a good thing for an already unstable country.

After finishing the kind words of Queen Mother Hu, Zhang Mingxian said again: "Your Majesty, whether or not to do the national funeral and how to do it depends on the situation. If the national conditions do not allow it, Your Majesty can decide to keep it secret."

"I know how powerful this is. At the beginning, the late emperor told me that if the situation was unstable, the late emperor would also want to keep his funeral secret. During his reign, the late emperor was deeply loved by his people. Therefore, when the late emperor passed away, The people of the whole country are deeply mourning, and nothing that the late emperor was worried about happened. Therefore, I pardoned the world. When the queen passed away, because of the war with Dawan, I kept the funeral of the queen secret for a period of time. Wait for the queen After the mausoleum was built, I personally sent the empress for the last time. The national funeral was a hasty affair. The empress dowager passed away today. The world, lest the people's hearts be unstable."

The ministers had already noticed that he did not want to hold a national funeral for Queen Mother Hu, so they were not surprised by his words, and they all expressed their approval.

Li Zimo narrowed his eyes as if he was deeply satisfied with the statements of the ministers, and said: "I believe that the queen mother's underground spirit must understand the painstaking efforts of the ministers and me. The tomb of the queen mother has long been arranged in the late emperor However, I visited the tomb of the first emperor last time, and because of the rain, some parts need to be repaired. The tomb of the Empress Dowager should be placed in Xiaoyunling for the time being."

Zhang Mingxian and others were all shocked by his words.

Although Yongning Palace and Yongshou Palace, since the Queen of the Palace passed away, there have long been rumors that there is a gap and there is some incompatibility.However, on the surface, for so many years, Li Zimo showed filial piety to the Empress Dowager Hu, and did not forget the Empress Dowager Hu during the New Years and festivals, and his filial piety was known all over the world.It is undeniable that Queen Mother Hu cared very much for her son after she ascended the throne.The relationship between mother and child has always been called filial piety in the eyes of outsiders, and mother's love is radiant, and no one can find fault with it.

However, the Xiaoyunling that Li Zimo suddenly mentioned in his mouth is not Yunling, the royal cemetery, the name is only one word away, and the actual situation is quite different.The geographical location of Xiaoyunling is nearly several hundred miles away from Yunling.None of the people buried there belonged to the royal family. Although some princes, princes and generals were buried there, once the Queen Mother Hu was buried there, it was equivalent to being deprived of her royal household registration after her death.

When did the hearts of the mother and child become so alienated?

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Li Zimo continued calmly: "Since I have decided to keep it secret, there is no need for me to stop court and wear plain clothes. When I came from Yongshou Palace just now, I also explained to the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, For the Empress Dowager’s funeral, everything should be kept simple, and I will let people handle it, and then, anyone who dares to leak information outside the palace at will, who chews on the bottom of the tongue, and says that the Empress Dowager is bewitched, if I know it, I will be punished.”

It turned out that his last words were the key point.They were called only to warn some people.

Zhang Mingxian's beard twitched twice, thankfully he asked Gong Xiangru first, and with Gong Xiangru's reminder, he did not commit the mistake of beheading.

"Gongqing and Zhang Taifu stay, and the rest, let's go first." The dragon robe waved.

Several ministers were uneasy about his obscure words, and retreated very anxiously.Zhang Mingxian and Gong Xiangru, who stayed behind, seemed to have a rabbit in their hearts.I just feel that the more Li Zimo sits on the throne, the more the courtiers under them can't see clearly.

It is said that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable.However, Li Zimo's heart is probably more unpredictable than the heart of the late emperor.As the elder of the three dynasties, Zhang Ming thought first.

"Teacher Zhang." After receiving the tea from Li Shunde, Yun Mei mentioned it lightly.

"The minister is here." Zhang Ming answered first.

"That dude, has your studies improved in Zhang Taifu's class?"

Zhang Ming didn't expect that he didn't ask the prince, but first asked about the situation of the snacks. He was surprised but replied cautiously: "Returning to the Holy One, Mr. Hua has improved significantly, and he has improved in his studies."

"I remember what you said, that you will train him to be as outstanding as the prince."

That was what he said out of passion as a teacher that day after seeing Xiao Mumu's talent, how could it be possible, if he was trained to be as good as the prince, wouldn't he want to steal the prince's glory.Zhang Ming was confused, raised his head, and met Li Zimo's dark eyes, but there was a trace of seriousness, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "I have sworn to the Holy Majesty, and I will definitely do it, and there will be no delay."

"Well, with Zhang Taifu's words, I can be at ease." Flicking the cover, let Zhang Ming step back first.

"The minister leads the order." Zhang Ming stepped back first.

On the right side, Gong Xiangru, as always, silence is golden.

He seemed to let out a sigh of relief: "Gongqing, I just went to see Yan Shangshu."

"I know." Gong Xiangru replied.

"She said she was suffering from the wind and cold, so she wouldn't let me feel the pulse. I thought, if Gong Qing passed by, she might not let Gong Qing feel the pulse."
