The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 151
When Tan Qing was serving dishes, Chang Ji had roughly read the list. Duan Zhi had only been enthroned not long ago, and he had already been pardoned once, but not many people were pardoned this time.

She put down the list and said: "Although it is an amnesty, it cannot be exonerated regardless of the seriousness. Those vicious people, who have countless lives in their hands, cannot be released just because of good luck. Let those who are already dead for no reason. Let’s not say that those people died in vain, and when these people get out of prison, wouldn’t they harm innocent people again? You go back and order someone to check them one by one, and those who committed minor crimes will be pardoned, and those who have been sentenced to severe punishments will be exiled.”

Nie Chuanzhen said: "Your Majesty is right. I will order someone to examine it carefully when I get back."

Tan Qing came over with a hot handkerchief, Chang Wei wiped his hands, glanced at the meals on the food table and said, "Tan Qing, give this bowl of fresh bamboo shoot soup to Prime Minister Zuo. I am in mourning now, and there will be more in a few days." For many ceremonies, you can only eat vegetarian food. Zuo Xiang may not be able to eat it consistently. This bamboo shoot soup is quite delicious, Zuo Xiang has a taste."

Nie Chuanzhen hurriedly got up to thank him, and said, "You don't need to be polite in private. I have one more thing to ask you. I met the second son of Jiangliang's mansion who was also imprisoned in the prison. This pardon Why isn't he on the list?"

Nie Chuanzhen said: "The matter of Jiangliang Mansion has a long history. The Jiangliang family was originally an in-law clan of the Ice Clan of the Northern Wilderness. Although they surrendered to Luoshui, the royal family has always deliberately suppressed Jiangliang Mansion, so the courtiers did not mention it much. .”

Chang Ji said: "The Liang clan has been surrendered for many years, but the Beibing clan's in-law clan is not the Beibing royal family, and the suppression is enough, so let's pardon it first. Also, after the war, there must be no peace in the capital. , let the common people settle down and recuperate as soon as possible, but anyone who causes trouble must be severely punished."

Nie Chuanzhen said: "Your Majesty is always worried about the people, which is the blessing of the people. I will immediately order people to do a good job of security in the city, so that the people will never suffer from turmoil again."

Just as he was talking, Tan Qing brought the bowl of fresh bamboo shoot soup to Nie Chuanzhen himself, and Nie Chuanzhen hurriedly got up and said, "How dare you bother Miss Tan Qing."

Tan Qing has always served Chang Wei, and now she is a first-class female official beside Chang Wei, in charge of palace affairs.It is the emperor's imperial use.Who dares to be served by her?Even if the emperor ordered her to deliver items, according to the etiquette system, it only needs to pass through her hands once, and the palace servants below will do it.

Hearing this, Tan Qing couldn't help but smile again and said: "Your Majesty bestowed the Lord Zuoxiang with the intention of thanking you for your hard work. How dare I be lazy. Besides, I see that Your Majesty gave you soup. I'm also greedy, wishing I could ask adults for half a bowl to taste, but I lost my sense of proportion for a while."

She put the soup in her hand on Nie Chuanzhen's food table, and Nie Chuanzhen hurriedly bowed to thank her, and she also folded her hands and gave a blessing to Nie Chuanzhen, and retreated to Chang'an.

Chang Ji couldn't help laughing and said: "What do you want to eat? When did I short yours? I'm not afraid to make the left minister laugh at you. But it's true to thank you on my behalf. Without the help of the left minister this time, it would be difficult for me to accomplish this. I believe that Replace wine with tea, respect to the left."

She raised the teacup, and Nie Chuanzhen also hurriedly raised the teacup and said: "Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is the destiny of heaven. I dare not take credit, I respect Your Majesty."

She is so humble that she has no attitude of taking credit for it.He also didn't use power to restrain Chang'an, which made Chang'an even more difficult to figure out.

After breakfast, Zongzheng Pingbo and Zongbodi Shen from Zongzheng Temple asked for an audience outside the hall.Nie Chuanzhen retired first, and Chang Wei went to the Qingxin Pavilion in the east side hall of the front hall to summon Pingbo and Dichen.

Although Pingbo and Dichen are uncles and nephews, they are not much different in age. Both of them have long beards and slender eyebrows, and it is difficult to tell them apart just by looking at their faces.However, Pingbo is thin and tall, and the ground is slightly plump.That's the only way to tell them apart.

The two of them had been waiting in Qingxin Pavilion for a long time, when Chang Min came in, they all knelt down and saluted.

Chang Ji raised his hand and said, "Both of you are elders, so there is no need to be polite."

Pingbo and Dichen didn't get up until Changbin sat down behind the case.

Ping Bo said: "Your Majesty is the king, even the elders should not abolish the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers. The minister is waiting here to report to His Majesty the many etiquettes of the enthronement ceremony."

The country of Luoshui has always advocated etiquette, and such a grand event as the enthronement hall almost combines the red tape of Luoshui ceremony.Chang Ji listened to Pingbo and Dichen talk about it from beginning to end, and almost two or three hours have passed.

Ping Bo said: "Etiquette is heavy, so your majesty need not worry. When it comes to the enthronement ceremony, the minister and Zongbo will guide you. Your majesty only needs to understand first."

Chang Ji had already heard one head and two big ones, but he just nodded calmly.

Di Shen said: "In addition, before ascending the throne hall, His Majesty must also worship the mountains and rivers and the ancestors of Sheji. As for the uniform..."

Chang Wei said: "Just follow the old way."

Di Shen said: "The enthronement ceremony is scheduled for Haiyue Hai. Your Majesty must go out of the city to worship the mountains and rivers on the [-]th of September, and wear the 絺mian to worship the country on the [-]th."

Chang Ji said: "The arrangement will be based on this. Apart from the enthronement ceremony, how are the posthumous titles and emblems planned?"

Ping Bo said: "The ministers and others have already drawn up. Please look over it, Your Majesty."

He bowed and presented the booklet, Chang Ji looked at it carefully and said: "Prince Gongde, I will give you the title of Emperor."

Hearing this, Ping Bo and Di Chen looked at each other, and Di Shen said: "Your Majesty, although there have been cases of conferring emperor titles in history, it is extremely rare, Prince Gongde..."

Chang Ji said without doubt: "My elder brother should have been a wise emperor, and he bestowed the title of Emperor Kangren on his posthumous title."

Di Shen no longer refuted.

Chang Ji went on to say: "Shen Shan's former king and his son will pursue the title of prince."

Ping Bo said: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Shen Shan to pursue the two princes. The former king of Shen Shan was originally the king of the county, so there is nothing wrong with making him a prince, but the son of Prince Shen Shan was not on the throne in the first place. It's somewhat out of courtesy."

Chang Ji looked at the ground and said, "Zong Bo also thinks my actions are inappropriate?"

Although she said this, she was asking for Di Chen's opinion, but she was actually determined.

Di Chen has been the Zong Bo in Zongzheng Temple for so many years, and has gone through three dynasties, how can he not hear these words?
He pondered for a while and said: "The son of King Shenshan is not only the respected son of the son, but also the eldest son of Dongzhou. He ranks first among the four sons of Dongzhou, so he is extremely honorable. When the first emperor ascended the throne, he should follow the etiquette system to posthumously confer the throne of Shizi County. It’s just that the first emperor was weak and difficult to govern, and the rebellion of the two kings was also difficult to take into account. It’s okay for your majesty to posthumously at this time.”

Chang Ji nodded and said: "Then follow what Zongbo said. You two should step down first."

Ping Bo and Di Chen bowed and took their leave, while Chang Wei was alone in the pavilion looking at the posthumous title bestowed on Yuan Che on the booklet, and his heart throbbed with pain.No matter how honorable the posthumous position is, it is not as good as him alive.
