Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 400 The Emperor Was Born by the Grandfather
Before Changyin Pavilion caught fire, Prince Pingjun Wang Qingheng and Prince Jian Feng Naheng had just returned to Yanshou Hall from the main hall of Compassionate Ning Palace.

Tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's big funeral. The House of Internal Affairs has already made the Empress Dowager's catalpa palace, with lacquer decorations up to 49 times. The four sides are decorated with "Xifan characters" by lamas. The outside is decorated with gold, and the inside is lined with gold five-color Tuo. There are five layers of Ronnie satin and eight layers of golden dragon satin in various colors, making a total of thirteen layers.

According to the ancestral system, when Ming'er is burialed, those who are below the prince of Beijing and above the top-ranking officials; Heshuo Fujin, Zuo Ling and the wives of the third-class guards must go to the Palace of Compassion to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager's remains for the last time. Wait for the guardian spirit to go to Changchun Garden.

Tomorrow, the posthumous title of the Empress Dowager will also be formally determined.

Therefore, the members of the National Funeral Committee, Minister of Rites Fulehun, Minister of Officials Asiha, Minister of Criminal Affairs Yinglian, Minister of Household Yonggui, Minister of Military Aircraft Suolin, He Shen, Minister of Internal Affairs Jin Jian and others made plans, and finally made plans. He got the posthumous title of "Filial Piety, Sage, Mercy, Xuankang Huidun and Queen of Respecting Tianguang Shengxian".

Before this posthumous title was officially presented to the emperor for approval, it had to be seen by the representatives of the clan, that is, the three princes.

Minister of Rites Fuller Hun, Minister of Housekeeping Yonggui, Minister of Military Aircraft Suolin, and Minister of Internal Affairs Jin Jian came to the Yanshou Hall, and Prince Xinjun Wang Chunying arrived after him.

"Your lords, the posthumous title of the Empress Dowager has been drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, please take a look at it."

Fulehun handed the drafted posthumous title of Queen Mother to Prince Jian Fengneheng who was sitting on the right, because Prince Jian was in charge of the clan mansion.

Prince Jian nodded after reading it, and handed the posthumous title to Prince Zhuang Yongxuan who was opposite him.

Yongzhen also has no objection, the posthumous title is just a formality, and it is the posthumous title of the empress dowager and not the emperor, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

Xinjun Wang Chunying had seen posthumous titles before. He was young and only liked to read and draw pictures on weekdays. He didn't know much about etiquette, so he didn't express any opinions at all.

It's just that he was a little absent-minded when he came in, and turned his head to look out from time to time.

Wang Qingheng of Pingjun sat on the chair without turning his head to take a look.

Yong Yu asked casually: "Where are Yu Zhongtang and Fu Zhongtang?"

"Yu Zhongtang is at the military plane, and Fu Zhongtang is with the emperor."

The speaker was A Siha, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. I don’t know if it was a blessing in disguise. He was impeached by the former Shandong Prime Minister Jia Jia Shikai and feared the enemy. Rewarded the privilege of riding a horse in the Forbidden City.

"Yu Zhongtang is old after all, we can't let him follow Liu Zhongtang's path, he should rest or rest."

The Liu Zhongtang mentioned by Feng Neheng was the military minister Liu Tongxun who died suddenly two years ago.

Fu Long'an is the emperor's son-in-law, so it is reasonable that he will accompany the emperor.

Yong Yu glanced at Uncle Jian Wang, and asked Asha: "Where's He Shen? Why didn't I see him just now?"

Asiha said: "Going back to Lord Zhuang, Chen Huizu, the governor of Huguang, and Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei, rushed to play. The Fan army who came out of Jinchuan has surrounded Wuchang. Chen Huizu asked the imperial court to send out the army quickly. The emperor is anxious to let Heshen go to the military plane to handle it." gone."

Yong Yu was a little puzzled: "How can these thieves be able to fight? A few days ago, my king heard that they were attacking Jingzhou, and Wuchang was besieged in the blink of an eye?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know. These bandits have been fighting our army in Jinchuan for a long time, and they are very fierce. This time, they suddenly came out of Sichuan and beat our army by surprise."

None of the people present knew better than Fu Lehun that the big and small Jinchuan rebels were powerful, and no one knew better than him that Huguang is extremely empty now, which is why the fan thieves can run wild in Huguang.

"We can't let those gangsters succeed again, so hurry up and dispatch soldiers to suppress it! Really, why have my Qing Dynasty been so bad every year in the past few years? Is it really related to the water seepage in the underground palace of the Holy Grandpa? "Yong Yu frowned slightly.

It was hard for Fu Lehun and the others to answer this question.

Prince Jian Fengneheng asked how the Taidong Mausoleum was being repaired.

"A few days ago, that slave in Toendo said that the queen mother's auspicious land is a bit dilapidated and needs to be repaired. If the money should be transferred, the money should be transferred, and it should be transferred by hand. Don't delay the queen mother's burial."

Jin Jian, Minister of Internal Affairs, hurriedly said: "What the lord said is that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has allocated the funds and sent a lot of people. It is estimated that it will be repaired within a month at the latest."

"I don't know what the Empress Dowager thought back then. It's not very good to be buried with the late emperor. We have to choose another auspicious place."

Jin Jian couldn't answer the sudden words of Wang Qingheng of Pingjun.

It is also strange to say that Empress Wulanara, Imperial Concubine Nian of Dunsu, and Imperial Concubine Chunyi Geng were all buried with the late Emperor, and the Empress Dowager decided not to be buried with the late Emperor more than [-] years ago. Rebuild the auspicious place in the east of the mausoleum of the first emperor.

Fuller, Minister of Rites, shook his head and smiled wryly: "The queen mother hides from the late emperor, what can we do as slaves?"

These words startled everyone.

"My lord, don't gossip. What do you mean the empress dowager hides from the late emperor? Could it be that the empress dowager did something to offend the late emperor?"

Feng Neheng was slightly unhappy, but he went a step further on the basis of Fu Lehun's "hiding", implying that the Queen Mother was not a woman?

Everyone present must be aware of the recent rumors. Maybe some of them have read the book "The Unscrupulous Empress Dowager". If you want to say that the Empress Dowager really did something wrong to the late emperor during her lifetime and hid from the late emperor after her death, it really makes sense !
But apart from the princes of your clan, which courtier would dare to say this?

Qing Heng said quietly at the side: "The late emperor should have chosen the auspicious place in Dongling, but in the end he made an exception and chose Xiling. It seems that he is hiding from the holy ancestor."

Suo Lin, Minister of Military Aircraft, quickly said: "The reason why the late emperor chose Xiling was because he had too high requirements for auspicious places and wanted to be perfect."

However, Qingheng looked at Feng Neheng and asked, "Uncle Jian, do you still remember that when the holy ancestor was buried in the underground palace, didn't the late emperor step up to the top of the treasure according to the ancestral system and then kneel down on the ground, and put the first handful of soil into the palace?" Hold onto the top of the treasure, but kneel and climb up the top of the treasure?"

Feng Naheng nodded and said: "This late emperor is sincere and filial to the holy grandfather."

Qingheng snorted, "Why didn't the late emperor feel ashamed?"

Everyone was startled, the King of Pingjun was too bold.

"Why did the late emperor not live in the Qianqing Palace after he succeeded to the throne, but changed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation? And why did the late emperor never live in the Changchun Garden? Was it because the late emperor was extremely filial to the holy grandfather, or did the late emperor not like the holy grandfather at all?"

Qing Heng asked three questions in a row, which made the hearts of several ministers present chill.

Fuller, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, looked calm, and looked at King Ping with slight approval.

"This king just thinks this is strange. My lords, you think that the late emperor hid from the grandpa, the queen mother hid from the late emperor, and our emperor hid from the late emperor and chose Jidi next to the grandpa. Is there any reason for this?" What is the inside story that outsiders don't know?"

Qing Heng looked a little stunned.

Minister of Military Aircraft Sorin's expression sank: "Prince Pingjun, what exactly do you want to say!"

"Some people say that our emperor was born by the empress dowager and the holy grandfather. If the emperor was not born by the holy grandfather, why did the late emperor hate the late emperor? Why did the queen mother hate the late emperor and refused to be buried with the late emperor? Why did the emperor choose to marry Ji The land was chosen next to the holy grandfather, instead of being with the late emperor?"

Speaking of this, Qing Heng twirled the jade finger of his thumb and sneered: "Everyone, don't forget that in all dynasties, sons are buried with their fathers!"
