The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 4 Funeral Rites
Cangyu Bo glared at Cangyuwei angrily, then knelt down on the ground, no longer talking about the queen, but cried loudly about the etiquette of the concubines, all the officials of the Cangyu clan in the hall also knelt on the ground together.

Among them were a few clan elders with all white hair and beard, shaking their heads and saying how the concubines are more polite, the concubines are irrelevant, and the etiquette is chaotic. The first admonishment.

Everyone stopped, persuaded, and it was getting into a turmoil. The left minister Nie Chuanzhen said: "Your Majesty, I ask your majesty to grant the request of the Patriarch Cangyu and the right minister."

Her voice was not loud, neither fast nor slow, gentle and powerful, and she quieted the chaotic hall as soon as she spoke.

Huijiu whispered to Changjie from the side: "Sister, this is Lord Zuoxiang, Nie Chuanzhen. She is my mother's niece, and you and I are cousins. She treats me and my mother very well. My mother is now She is also taking care of the funeral."

Chang Bian nodded. She has long been familiar with the name of Nie Chuanzhen—the only female figure in the history of the Eastern Continent.

I heard Nie Chuanzhen respectfully say: "Your Majesty, the Mingjun of all ages, you must not disturb the clan etiquette because of the concubine. The mother is always more valuable than the son, and the concubine who gave birth to the prince in the palace does not have the position of concubine, and the concubine has no children. Adding a high position to a posthumous posthumous position just because His Majesty loves you is not in line with the etiquette and unfair to the princes and concubines. I, the Nie Chuan family, feel ashamed and dare not take it. Your Majesty is already the great fortune of my Nie Chuan family, I and the Nie Chuan family are deeply grateful for your majesty's kindness, and please take back your holy will."

After she finished speaking, she kowtowed to Emperor Chu and kowtowed deeply three times.

Chang Yi lowered his eyes and thought: This lord Zuoxiang is really amazing.

Sure enough, Nie Chuanzhen's words awakened Emperor Chu.

Emperor Chu shook his sleeves, put away his angry face and said: "What Prime Minister Zuo said is reasonable, the imperial concubine has no children under her knees, so it would be really inappropriate to posthumously bestow the posthumous position."

All the ministers of the Cangyu Clan nodded in agreement.

Emperor Chu suddenly sneered and said: "Since that's the case, when one of the princes is adopted to the imperial concubine's knee, I think the second prince is sophisticated and calm and has always been the most filial, so why not let the second prince be recorded under the name of the imperial concubine, what do you think? "

Everyone from the Cangyu clan was speechless for a moment, while everyone from the Niechuan clan snickered.

Prince Gongde has passed away, and the remaining three princes, the fourth prince is adopted by the empress, and they are regarded as legitimate sons. According to clan etiquette, they must be the first candidates to inherit the throne in the future.

Now, Emperor Chu wants to adopt the second prince to Noble Concubine Niechuan, in order to make Noble Concubine Niechuan the empress. In this way, the second prince who was originally a concubine will also become a concubine like the fourth prince, and the second prince will be the eldest brother. With the establishment of the first lineage and the establishment of the eldest son, the throne that was originally at the fingertips is immediately far away from the four princes.

Taking the lesser of the two evils, the ministers of the Cangyu clan dared not object to the posthumous title, and scrambled to slap their faces. They refuted their own remarks on the etiquette of concubines and concubines, and praised the achievements and virtues of Concubine Niechuan during her lifetime.

All the ministers debated for a long time, and at this time, there was an unanimous request for the posthumous title of Concubine Niechuan.

The next day, a posthumous title was set: Jingshan.

Concubine Niechuan was posthumously named Empress Jingshan, and her funeral was a national funeral according to the etiquette system.

Ten days later, the coffin was sealed.

Envoys from foreign countries, court officials and female relatives of high rank, clan chiefs and adult heirs with titles in the clan must wear mourning clothes and go to the fasting palace to perform sacrifices. All princes and princesses must respect the queen according to the funeral ceremony of their aunts. To mourn.

Luoshui has always ranked princes and princesses separately.There are four elder brothers on the long mantle.

The eldest son of the emperor, Luo Shuiming, named Ximing by the royal family, is Prince Gongde, and his biological mother was Empress Huixian, who came from the Shen Shan family, and has passed away.

The second son of the emperor, Luo Shui Bin, was named Yu Bin in the imperial family taboo, and his biological mother came from the Cang Yu family.

The third son of the emperor, Luoshuijing, was nicknamed Nanjing by the royal family, and his biological mother was also from the Cangyu family.

The fourth son of the emperor, Luo Shuizhi, was named Duan Zhi in taboo by the royal family. His biological mother was not only from the Cangyu clan, but also the queen's younger sister.He has always been weak and the easiest to control, so he was adopted under the queen's name.

These three princes are all of the Cangyu clan's blood, so naturally they don't want to cry for the queen of the Niechuan clan, but under the eyes of Emperor Chu, they have to do a crying scene, pretending to be filial sons and grandsons.

There are also four princesses, besides Huijiu's half-sister, there are two half-sisters on Chang'an.

The eldest princess, Luo Shuixiang, was named Anxiang in the taboo name of the royal family. Her biological mother was from the Jin Ge clan.

She is the oldest among the princes and princesses. Chang Ji has not yet been born, she is already married, and there is not much sisterhood to speak of.When he came, he just cried according to Li.

But her son Jin Gepan was very heart-warming. After the sacrifice, he went to greet and salute Changju and Huijiu, and said many comforting words, which caused Huijiu to cry.

The second princess, Luoshuitong, was named Wantong by the royal family.The biological mother was a maid by the queen's side and was raised under the queen's knees. She had always considered herself to be the queen's first daughter.And there are many festivals with Chang Bian, and the two have always been at odds.

Now that Emperor Chu bestowed the posthumous position on Chang's birth mother, the empress had been wronged, she was already resentful, and seeing Yuan Che always by Chang's side, she became even more jealous.

Kneeling in the ranks of filial sons and filial daughters in linen and filial piety, he said bitterly, "I don't die sooner, I don't die later, but I died when I proposed marriage. It's not my mother, why should I be in mourning for a year!"

She pretended to be sick, pretended to be in pain, acted coquettishly and foolishly, and finally persuaded Emperor Chu to marry her and Yuan Che.Once Empress Jingshan died, there would be a three-year national mourning. Even if a marriage was to be bestowed, it would have to wait until after the one-year filial piety period had passed.

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, but because Emperor Chu was present, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she gave Chang Ji a hard look, turned around and beat up the maid who was serving her.

The time to seal the coffin had arrived, and four mages in black robes stood at the four corners of the coffin, holding a seven-inch long copper nail and a fist-sized copper hammer in each hand.

Zongzheng Sizong, who presided over the funeral, was standing in the southeast of the coffin, and shouted in a forceful and long voice: "Seal—the coffin—"

The four mages nailed the four corners of the coffin with a nail in one hand and a hammer in the other.Everyone in the hall was bent and kneeling, no one made a sound, only the dull sound of the copper hammer hammering the copper nails into the coffin.

The seven-inch long nails sank inch by inch into the coffin. Emperor Chu put his hands on Empress Jingshan's coffin and wept bitterly. He shook his body and passed out.

Everyone hurriedly supported Emperor Chu, passed on the imperial doctor to the imperial doctor, and asked for soup and medicine. When they were in a hurry, Shen Shanxun, the head of the Shenshan Metropolitan Mansion, rushed over and whispered to Yuan Che: "Your Majesty An emergency military report came, and Nan Zhao raised troops..."

　It’s time to start fighting, start making troubles, start collecting, and start recommending (a certain author is in self-hypnosis...
