The prince was busy studying government affairs and busy going to the Zichen Hall to do his filial piety. Fushun did not wait on the side, but let Changshun follow him and sit in the East Palace.

Not surprisingly, many old acquaintances came to him soon.

Some of these old acquaintances had a good relationship with him in the past, while others had hatreds with him in the past, and those with hatreds were the majority.But now it hurts feelings to raise hatreds. Zuo is just a little secret fight when he was young. After so many years, everyone laughed and laughed.

He was about the same age as Fushun, and could be mixed in the palace, and all of them were old monsters who became fine.Knowing the situation is involuntary, knowing that you have to bow your head if you want to spend your old age in the palace.Fushun also tacitly said. When people came to tell the old feelings, he was vague, and when they came to the door, he continued.

After going back and forth like this, many people were swept over.

But don't underestimate these, all the masters in this huge palace are counted as number one hundred, but the minions are hundreds of times more.The old monster has many little monsters in his hands, and there are many disciples and grandchildren under the little monsters.This has always been the case in this palace. The eunuchs are masters and apprentices, and grandpas and grandsons. In the small palace, there are also masters and aunts and aunts.

Such a large group of people naturally have factions.Empress Xiao and Concubine Xu needless to say. After operating in the palace for so many years, His Majesty, as the largest master in the palace, has many people under his control.Of course, there are some people who haven't followed, or have seen the momentum and don't want to move. Isn't this prince the best and ready-made master now?

It is said that icing on the cake is easy, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, but since ancient times, there will be no less hot stoves.The discerning people flocked to them for fear of falling behind.

Like Fushun, Aunt Qi has not fallen.

The aunt in charge next to the prince may be Shang Palace in charge of Shang Palace in the future, so how few people come to get close.Even here, Mother He, there are several old sisters who came to share their old love.

The days passed by like running water, not only Luo Jing was busy, but the people below did not stop.Everyone is preparing to enter the palace in the future. After all, being the master of the palace is not as simple as you think.

***

Luo Jing has been running back and forth between Taiji Hall and Zichen Hall since he was conferred the crown prince.I learned to deal with government affairs with the two prime ministers every day, and came to the Zichen Hall to guard in his spare time.It is said that he has moved into the East Palace, but Luo Jing has stayed in the Zichen Hall for more time than the East Palace.

Everyone said that the prince was the filial piety. Only Luo Jing knew whether he was the filial piety or not.He understands very well that whether he wants to do it or not, he must do it now.

It may be that Xi Di, who knew that he had been in time for a while, had been arrogant and arbitrary, and even did all kinds of absurd things before, suddenly changed his attitude a lot.It may also be because he knew that he only had such a son to use. In the short time when he was awake every day, Emperor Xi often summoned the prince to explain some things about the court.

Compared with the one-sidedness of the two prime ministers, Xi Di taught himself to be more specific.After all, he has been an emperor for many years, and the personalities of his courtiers and the various factions in the dynasty are well understood by Emperor Xi.When Luo Jing listened to him, there was a feeling that the hut was open.

It's a pity that the dragon body of Emperor Xi had been hollowed out a long time ago, and it was stimulated one after another a few days ago, and now it can survive completely by hanging on medicine.With the passage of time, his spirit is getting worse every day, and his awake time is getting shorter every day, and he has been in a coma for three days. It may have been nearly two days before the hospital.

The outside was dripping into ice, the cold wind was biting, and the Zichen Hall was full of people.

There are Empress Xiao, Concubine Xu, several high-ranking concubines of Emperor Xi, several princesses of different ages, a house of women and children, but Luo Jing is the only man.

After all the imperial physicians were pricking acupuncture points and administering medicine, Emperor Xi woke up leisurely.

The girls here were crying loudly, Emperor Xi moved his mouth, Zheng Haiquan leaned over.

"Your Majesty is destined, everyone retreats, leaving the prince by his side."

Empress Xiao led the female family members to the outer hall, leaving only the prince in the inner hall.

Xi Di was supported on a soft pillow by Zheng Haiquan, his complexion with a trace of abnormal rosy.Luo Jing knew that this was the old ginseng soup that he had just used, but now it is a good example.

"You almost understand what should be taught, and Daxi will leave it to you in the future."

"Father..."

"Two prime ministers, Xu can be used, Lin wants to weigh and use..."

"Children understand."

These Emperor Xi had already told Luo Jing, and he also understood the reasons.Although Prime Minister Xu has factions, he can be regarded as a lone minister, while Prime Minister Lin is on the contrary, behind him is a tangled family.The family must not be used or used, the right way is to have restraint and promote.

Fortunately, even though Xi Di had various bad things, he was quite clear in government affairs.The aristocratic family has been suppressed by him for so many years, so the Lin family risked a Lin Jian.

Emperor Xi did not speak any more, Zheng Haiquan walked in and said softly: "The two prime ministers are here."

"Announcement--"

The outer hall of Zichen Hall was full of people kneeling, and the hall was full of suppressed whimpers.

Everyone was at a loss. After all, almost everyone who was kneeling here was related to Emperor Xi.A generation of new emperors replaced the old emperor. People like them will no longer be the emperor’s concubines, but will become the concubines.It's okay to have children and daughters, but no children and no women can only spend a lifetime in this deep palace.

The only person with the calmest mood here is Empress Xiao, among these people she is a well-deserved winner.When the new monarch is enthroned, she will be the queen mother. Since the new monarch does not have a mother, there will only be a queen mother in the harem.

Daxi emphasizes filial piety, and she can imagine her honor in the future.Even if she is at odds with Xinjun, as long as she is the queen mother, Xinjun must respect her, let alone the future queen or her niece.

After about a quarter of an hour, the prince and the two prime ministers stepped out of the inner hall with solemn expressions.

Zheng Haiquan said with a dumb voice: "Empress Xuan—"

Empress Xiao stood up straight, her eyes half drooping, her face filled with endless sorrow, but she held her own identity to endure it, not as if other people were crying like nothing.She walked slowly for two steps, staggered, and finally couldn't restrain her sadness, and ran into the inner hall.

This scene entered the eyes of Luo Jing and the two prime ministers. Luo Jing's expression was calm and unwavering, while the two prime ministers showed different colors.

"His Majesty……"

Empress Xiao leaned down beside the dragon couch, crying silently.

"Min'er, how long have you been married to me?"

"Up to now, more than forty years."

Emperor Xi showed a dazed smile, and his pale lips seemed to murmur something, because the voice was too small for Empress Xiao to hear clearly.He raised his hand, and Empress Xiao managed to straighten up and sit down on the edge of the couch.

"Min'er, have you ever regretted marrying me?"

Empress Xiao was taken aback, "Never."

"I... have never regretted marrying you. You are my prince and concubine, my empress, and even more so, my only empress."

Empress Xiao's face looked sad and joyful, and tears rolled out again.

"His Majesty……"

"Now that I am leaving, are you reluctant to give up?"

"The concubines are extremely sad..."

Emperor Xi showed a smile of unknown meaning.

The needle fell in the inner hall so quietly that Emperor Xi's soft voice suddenly sounded.

"...I give you two choices, walk with me and live, but there is no place for the queen mother..."

Empress Xiao was immersed in grief and didn't react until Emperor Xi had finished speaking.

"His Majesty?"

Looking at Empress Xiao's extremely surprised and aggrieved face, Emperor Xi's withered face had no emotional fluctuations, and the emperor's ruthlessness was vividly reflected at this moment.

Only then did Empress Xiao understand that even if this person was too sick to move, as long as he didn't die, he would still be Daxi's emperor, her god.

Just why?

Why give her this choice?

She is the Queen Mother who should be born in the future, why...

Empress Xiao, who has always been wise and not worse than a man, has a heart rhythm completely disrupted at this time, and she can't even think about why Emperor Xi is like this.

The faint but clear voice of Emperor Xi resounded again, and in his eyes was the coldness that Empress Xiao had never seen before.

"...What you and the prince did, I will not blame it. Now-give me your choice..."

This sentence really broke all the psychological defenses of Empress Xiao, she looked up at this man who was his husband in disbelief.At this time, the sorrow and sadness on her face completely disappeared without a trace, leaving only complete shock and fear.

"His Majesty--"

Emperor Xi closed his eyes tiredly, as if all of a sudden disappeared.

"...I have already handed over my will to the two prime ministers. If you follow me, you will still be my only queen. If you don't leave, the prince will also give you the position of a concubine, so that you can enjoy your old age..."

"Your Majesty, how can you be so cruel to your concubine? Your concubine has been married to you for so many years, how can you be so cruel..."

Zheng Haiquan walked over and held the somewhat hysterical Empress Xiao to the side.

The Emperor Xi, who was lying on the dragon couch, moved his lips, and his voice was extremely small. Only when he got close could he distinguish a little.

"...Don't blame me for being selfish... Daxi doesn't allow... There is a queen dowager from the Xiao family, and another queen from the Xiao family..."

...

There was loud crying in the inner hall, and everyone hurried in.

I saw Emperor Xi’s face lying peacefully and closed eyes on the dragon couch. Zheng Haiquan was crying silently. Empress Xiao lay down and crying not far away, not knowing whether he was crying for Emperor Xi or herself.

Until the end, she did not choose the first item.Sometimes death is easy, sometimes it is difficult...

...

In November of the 35th year of Xiyuan, less than ten days before the 36th year, the third monarch of the Daxi Dynasty, Xidi, collapsed in the Zichen Hall, together with Xu Guifei.Concubine Xu Gui is loyal, filial and righteous, unable to bear the Emperor Daxing to go west alone, willing to accompany him...

***

After finishing the funeral of the first emperor, the emperor heir enthroned the throne before the white was taken down.

Because he was in a period of mourning, the Emperor Heir ordered everything to be simple.

After the enthronement ceremony, the posthumous name of Emperor Daxing was drawn up. After constant discussions with the Ministry of Ritual, Emperor Daxing was eventually pursued by the new emperor Jing as "Emperor Gaozong Jingtian, Dao Chuncheng to Deqin Wenzhaowu Xiaochun Emperor".

At the same time, the matter of chasing the first noble concubine and the canonization of the queen Xiao was also put in the regulations.

The first imperial concubine chased Emperor Xiaochun, and everyone appealed to Zhenlie, who was with her in life and death.It is a bit unconventional to honour the title of the queen and to be buried as the queen.What's more, there is an awkward former Empress Xiao on the side, which makes the civil and military officials, princes and nobles quite difficult.

Reluctantly, this is the edict left by the first emperor, including the decision in the emperor’s edict not to designate Empress Xiao as the Queen Mother.In view of the majesty of the first emperor, although everyone felt that it was against the norm, they still did not put forward any refutations.

After all, it's not a matter of hanging up high, and it's not so good when it comes to the victim. As soon as the incident happened, all the members of the Yasukuni government were shocked, discussed all night, and started secretly.

The next day there was a letter from a minister, with the principle of ethics and general principles as the proposition, and a large part of it, only to say that the emperor was old and confused, so you still have to let it go?!

This is the first problem that Luo Jing has encountered since he took office as a new monarch.The emperor left this edict before his departure that day, and he knew that there would be objections to this matter in the future, as expected.

Luo Jing understood why the first emperor was like this, and understood the reason.After all, the first emperor was sweeping the way for him, also for Daxi's future.

This minister's letter was like pouring water in a frying pan, and the court suddenly fryed the pan.Some ministers had objections in their hearts, and some people took the lead and naturally would not let it go.

The following quarrels became a mess, each with its own theories.The two prime ministers, who were the leaders of the civil servants, shrank up at this moment, holding the jade wat and stood silently.

Luo Jing sat on the dragon chair on the palace seat, looking down, his expression calm.

It's not that Luo Jing has never encountered this situation. In the fief, officials from Changshi Division often quarreled in the Hall of Transport.Of course, the situation is definitely not fierce at this time, nor is it large-scale at this time, but the truth is the same.

The officials below all argued, and they were very excited. In fact, from the corner of their eyes, they were still paying attention to the expressions of the new monarch, including the two prime ministers not speaking, so they were also tempted.

Testing the new monarch’s handling style is human nature, which is also conducive to their respective performances in the court in the future.The upper person grasps the mind of the subordinate, and the lower person is not always trying to figure out the character of the upper person.

Therefore, with this canonization of the former Empress Xiao, the new emperor and the ministers made the first move.

There were also people in the courtroom who understood the temper of Emperor Jing, so they didn't participate in it, but shrank from the side and watched a good show.

This person is Guan Zheng. He doesn't know how much Jing Di is, but he knows that Jing Di is more patient than anyone else. This is proved by his three years of blood and tears.

Sure enough, the quarrel below was thirsty, and the person above did not move. Seeing that it was almost noon, he hadn't said why he came, inevitably some ministers were secretly worried.

After another half hour, Jingdi, who had not moved, finally spoke.

"Since you have not separated it yet, I will discuss it next time."

Fushun shouted from the side: "Retreat to the court--"

With the sound of retreating, the ministers below didn't consciously breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone was at a loss as they looked at the unwavering face of Emperor Jing from beginning to end.

The author has something to say: ps: ⊙﹏⊙Khan, get a queen dowager to press on Xiaojing and Xiaohua’s head, the future will be very sad, and the empress dowager is so much higher than the Xiao family. , The ancients emphasized filial piety again...

So for the happy life of Xiaojing and Xiaohua in the future, let's let Lao Xi be selfish...~(≧▽≦)/~
