Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 254 The number of days to live
King Jiang knew that the matter had failed, but he didn't panic. Instead, he recruited Qian Niuwei.After the rebellion between King Huo and King Qin last time, the generals of the sixteen guards in Beijing were slightly transferred, and the most elite personal guard around the Holy One, Qianniuwei, also had a new general. He secretly expressed his favor to King Jiang.At that time, General Xia was still insignificant in the army, and it was King Jiang who supported him little by little, but King Jiang didn't know that other people were responsible for it; even King Chu didn't know.

I thought that with Qianniuwei, the chances of victory were in my hands, but Jiang Wang didn't expect that the Holy One would wake up at this moment.With the support of Yongfu, the Holy Majesty came tremblingly from the inner room and stood beside the prince, looking coldly at the several sons standing at His Highness at this moment.General Xia immediately led the crowd to kneel down when he saw the Holy One. King Jiang hadn't cleared up the situation at that time, and for this reason, even if the Holy One woke up, he had to let him pass out again.

"Why are you kneeling at this time, I am your master." King Jiang scolded from the side.

Hearing this, the Holy Majesty coughed, and after panting for a while, he looked lightly at the other person kneeling on the ground, and said, "Just ask the King of Chu if you are the master of General Xia."

"King Chu?" King Jiang looked at King Chu in puzzlement. At this moment, King Chu had raised his head and looked at the Holy One with gloomy eyes. It was the first time King Jiang saw this look from King Chu.

The prince was also surprised, but he looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Brother Chu indifferently.He has to learn not to show his emotions and anger, no matter how surprising things happen in front of him, he has to accept and come up with countermeasures.

"Xia Qing, take them all down." The Holy Majesty ordered, but he didn't have the strength to say anything more at this moment.

King Jiang and King Chu both took a look at General Xia, General Xia let them watch, waved his hand and asked the guards to escort the two to the prison, and ordered them to go to the two palaces to guard them, and gathered their families together to take care of them. ; This was also ordered by the Holy Spirit in advance.

The Holy One sighed inwardly, and beckoned to the prince again, letting him enter the inner room.After a while, the prince came out with red eyes and called King Ping in.King Ping walked into the inner room, looked at the old man who had no strength on the bed, and felt mixed feelings in his heart.

He didn't expect that this man admired by thousands of people would end his life early because of a fall.When he was young, he somewhat hoped that one day he would be able to govern the country like him, but as he got older, he found that he could only obediently do nothing, only he did nothing, and the rest Only people can accommodate him.

Because of his experience when he was young, the Holy One always hoped that he would have more sons. If something happened to him, his sons could help each other. The two sons would be incompatible with each other, and he had to personally remove the sons he had placed high hopes on one by one, just in exchange for a few more years of stability in this country.

In fact, if he could live a few more years, even the current crown prince, he might not be able to tolerate it.

His Majesty winked at Yongfu, and Yongfu apologised, climbed onto His Majesty's dragon bed, opened a hidden compartment on the top of the dragon bed, and took out a secret decree that His Majesty had written long ago.After Yongfu opened the secret decree in front of the Holy Master and the Holy Master personally inspected it, he gave the decree to King Ping.

King Ping glanced at it in his hand, then put away the secret decree and hid it in his clothes.

The Holy Majesty looked at him again, and there seemed to be a lot of helplessness in his eyes.

He probably didn't expect to entrust this matter to him in the end, King Ping thought to himself, but under his gaze, he confessed his guilt and withdrew.When he walked out of the hall, Uncle Zhang Guo was about to enter, and the two exchanged a glance and said hello.

Uncle Zhang Guo was probably the one who most hoped that the Holy Majesty would live for a few more years. According to his plan, the Holy Majesty would have to last a few more years anyway.

"Your life is certain." The Holy Majesty sighed to Uncle Zhang Guo who entered, then took the hand of the courtier who had been with him for half his life, and whispered two words in his ear, "King Ping."

Uncle Zhang Guo knew it, and couldn't help crying.At that time, he was young and frivolous, and couldn't understand the old family's domination of the court, so he reclusive in the countryside.Not wanting his younger sister to marry Kang Wang who was in a difficult situation, he had to go out to try Kang Wang's talent. After this test, he became Kang Wang's aide, and from an aide to a powerful minister above ten thousand people.

In the past half of his life, his beloved sister passed away, and his nephew who took care to raise him also passed away, leaving only a rich Zhang family with nothing but appearances.For the sake of his clansmen, he had to plan for the descendants of the former prince, but he was also grateful for the past, and even now he was willing to think about the descendants of the former prince.It's a shame that God was in the way and didn't let the Holy One live for a few more years.

After a night of heavy snowfall in Chang'an City, the sky was clear in the morning, and the snow on the ground shone brightly under the refraction of the sun, almost dazzling people's eyes.Those red walls and black tiles are more and more bright under the white snow, and there are a few wintersweet plants that are not afraid of the severe cold quietly sprouting flower buds in unknown corners.At this time, it is the time when the streets of Chang'an are bustling, and it is also the time when the court is bustling.

The courtiers looked at the Holy Majesty who hadn't shown up for many months, and almost couldn't recognize this skinny old man as a high-ranking emperor.But he just raised his hand to make them flattened, revealing the imperial majesty that they dare not look directly at.They bowed their heads, hearing that he asked Yongfu to announce the abdication edict, the world really still belonged to the crown prince.As for King Jiang and King Chu who did not go to court today, the officials didn't know their situation, but they knew it vaguely in their hearts.

The Holy Majesty didn't say much throughout the whole process, but when the prince declined, he said: "Don't push."

Generally, when the sage abdicates when he is alive, he and the successor have to push three times, which can also show the humility of the successor.But after the Holy Majesty said this, the prince really didn't push any further, but just couldn't afford to kneel on the ground.The eyes of many ministers in the court were red silently. The Holy One looked at these familiar or unfamiliar courtiers one by one, and his eyes lingered on several important ministers. When he saw King Ping, he also paused on his face.

King Ping still woke up early to go to court. This may be the last time the Holy One will go to court.The Holy Majesty looked at him and had to sigh with emotion, it would be great if this child was born by the first queen.

When it was time to retire, the Holy Majesty returned to the palace with the support of Yongfu.The sound of people shouting long live behind him continued for a long time, and he suddenly felt that it was worth it.After entering the bedroom, Wu Guogong looked at him indifferently, stepped forward to salute him, he nodded in satisfaction, and looked at the handsome man following her.Wu Guogong is Wu Guogong, and even if it is a genius doctor, he is not an old man with a beard.It's a pity that even if the genius doctor can wake him up, he can only wake up for one day, but fortunately, this is enough.

"I'm going to rest." He said with difficulty, and got into bed with Yongfu's support.

Wu Yugong nodded, and gave him a last look, "It's a pity, it's a lively time outside."

The Holy Majesty waved to her, motioning her to go and play for a while, Wu Yinggong nodded, walked out of the hall with a smile, looked at the dazzlingly bright sky outside, and did not leave for a long time.

The Holy Majesty in the hall fell into a coma again. Before he passed out, he faintly saw a beautiful woman smiling at him gently at the end of the plane tree.

Three days later, on the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Kang Taizong Yang Chengjian died in Qifeng Palace at the age of 25.

When Taizong passed away, the whole country mourned. It is said that even the beggars on the roadside were deeply saddened.

Even though the courtiers had been prepared in their hearts, they couldn't help crying after hearing the news.Zhang Guojiu took on the post of Minister of Funeral Management without being appointed by anyone, after all he was the head of all officials.In the palace, there was an established schedule for the death of the Holy Majesty, and there were early signs of the death of the Holy Majesty, and the relevant funeral ceremonies were fully prepared. In less than half an hour, the palace was full of manuscripts, and the royal family, relatives, and ministers at all levels were also prepared. They all went into the palace to cry.

Everyone in Prince Jiang's Mansion and Prince Chu's Mansion were under custody, but someone asked Uncle Zhang whether to let the late emperor's grandson enter the palace to cry, Uncle Zhang said without thinking for sure, how could he be allowed to enter after the rebellious minister? palace.

As soon as Zhuhua heard the death bell ringing in the palace, King Heping put on filial piety and brought the family and Yuantai into the palace.Because of the snowfall a few days ago, the weather in Chang'an was very gloomy and cold. When she got off the carriage, she was blown by the howling north wind, and Zhuhua couldn't help shivering.She shrank her neck and looked at King Ping who was in a daze beside her, fearing that he would be too sad, she stepped forward to hold his hand and walked with him into a solemn palace.

King Ping held her hand, wanting to show her a comforting smile, but felt that it was not good to smile at this moment, so he could only exchange a glance with her.Zhuhua naturally understood, and the two of them didn't speak, and they didn't let go until they walked into the mourning hall.

When they arrived first, some people knelt in front of the coffin and cried. The place where the descendants and the female relatives cry is separate. Zhuhua naturally knelt behind the princess, holding a handkerchief and weeping in a low voice.She doesn't have a deep impression of the Holy One, she naturally knows that he is a good king, but he is not a good father.Now the dead are the oldest, as a daughter-in-law, she has to cry a few times.

But Zhuhua was a little bit against crying spirits, even though she was really sad at first and wanted to cry for the dead, but she couldn't cry when she was in front of people, not to mention they had to cry for seven to seven days.

The Holy Majesty passed away in the twelfth lunar month, and it is reasonable to be buried before the end of the year, but how could the funeral of a king of a country be so hasty? After discussing with the people in the Ministry of Rites, the Crown Prince set a period of seven to seven or 49 days for his death, and the Holy Majesty will be buried in February next year. They will be buried in the Zhaoling Mausoleum built on the geomantic treasure land discovered by Li Tianshi. On the same day, the coffins of the former empress and the former prince will also be buried around the Mausoleum of the Holy Lord. Related matters have long been arranged.

When mentioning the First Crown Prince, some people thought of the First Crown Princess. Some people were surprised when they heard that the First Crown Prince had already passed away.Sensing the eyes of others, Yuan Heng lowered his face slightly, mourning deeply at the Holy Majesty's coffin.

Yuan Heng, as the eldest grandson, led the sons of the royal family to kneel down, and the sons of the concubines had to kneel behind the sons.Because no one from the Prince Qin's House or the Prince Chu's House came, only the Prince's House, Prince Ping's House, and Prince Chen's House came.None of these princes had concubine sons, so Yuan Tai just knelt behind Yuan Heng alone.

This is the first time that Yuan Heng and Yuan Tai met after the crown prince's anniversary. They glanced at each other and did not talk, nor did they imitate Chen Wang in front of him beating his feet, stomping his chest and crying loudly. They just lowered their heads and wept in a low voice. .

Because the mourning had to be suspended for 49 days, in order to prevent the corpse from decomposing, there was no brazier in the mourning hall.Zhuhua was wearing thick clothes, and her knees almost didn't bend when she knelt down.However, it is also good to wear thick clothes. After kneeling for a long time, I will not be so tired, but it is still very cold.

In such a cold winter, it is needless to say how hard it is for the crying spirit to come in early and leave late every day. Fortunately, Zhuhua is a princess, and she can find a room in the palace to rest for a while, like Sun and Xu who are pregnant. Shi has to travel every day.Mrs. Sun was still able to endure it. Mrs. Xu became pregnant after a few days and had to lie at home to raise her baby. There were also several elderly ladies who fell ill after returning home crying. He also passed away in a few days, including Xu's grandmother.

After Xu knew about it, she couldn't go to guard the spirit because of her poor health, so she had to go down with the help of her intestines and burn a stick of incense before going back.She is also only willing to put a stick of incense on this grandmother who indirectly killed her mother, in order to make her cry, she can't cry at all.Her father knelt in front of the coffin, looking very sad. He happened to go to Beijing to weep for the saint, and he also caught up with his mother for the last time.

Since the death of his original spouse, most of their mother-child relationship has broken up. Before Mrs. Xu died, he was in a bad mood, and he didn't know what to say to this old man who had hurt him all his life, cared about him and harmed him all his life. .

He finally sighed, and said: "Mother, you can go with peace of mind. When you pass away, the unfilial son will enter the temple to practice and pray for you and Liu."

Mrs. Xu couldn't help opening her eyes angrily when she heard Mrs. Liu, but she couldn't say a word, so she swallowed her breath in anger.

Zhuhua was still in the palace at that time, and she didn't know what was going on outside, and she sighed when she heard about it later.

The female family members in the palace knelt together, and the leader was naturally Concubine Shu. She wiped her tears from time to time, with a look of grief, Concubine De and Concubine Xian also cried very sadly behind her.The sons of the two are now in prison, not knowing whether they will live or die, and they don't know what will happen in the future. They only hope that they will cry more miserably now, so that the prince will soften his heart.

The crown prince has not yet succeeded to the throne. Originally, when the first emperor issued an edict to abdicate, he could succeed, but he knew that the first emperor's time was short, so he insisted on refusing to succeed.Five days after the late emperor's death, the crown prince agreed to ascend the throne only after Uncle Zhang Guo repeatedly invited him to the throne. The ministers of the court and central government were reassured.To celebrate the new emperor's enthronement, even the harem temporarily stopped crying.

After all enthronement ceremonies were over, everyone took off their auspicious clothes and continued to mourn for the late emperor.Even though there were still cries in the harem every day, the hearts of the former ministers were still.A country cannot be without a king for a day. Now it is the end of the year, and there are many affairs between the court and China, and many of them need to be appointed by the Holy Majesty.The Holy Majesty passed away, and the surrounding small countries were ready to move. If the new emperor did not take the throne for a long time, and the government was not allowed to stabilize immediately, it might lead to disaster.

　Brain Hole Prequel: There is a little white dragon in the Nine Heavens, who loves to hang under a sycamore tree most, and has become friends with the tree fairy for a long time.

　　One day, he was frowning on the tree, and the tree fairy appeared and asked him, only to find out that he was going to be robbed and descended to the mortal world.

　　"With Wenqu and Wuqu coming down to help you, what are you afraid of?"

　　"It's meaningless to think about fighting and killing all day long. It would be interesting if the immortal friends could accompany me to descend to the mortal world."

　　With a thought, the tree fairy replied, "What's the difficulty? I'll walk with you once, and I'll also be a good minister who governs the country."

　　"Why do you bother to be a good minister? You might as well be a beautiful lady who always stays by my side."

　　The tree fairy can be male or female, so she said: "In this way, I will become a beautiful lady to accompany you."

　　Xiao Bailong was overjoyed when he heard this.

　　On the other side, Wuqu Xingjun is also worried. He lost the bet with Wenqu before, and this time he has to turn into a woman to meet the robbery. Being a woman makes no difference.
