Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 614 The Funeral
On the tenth day of September, Emperor Daxing went to the funeral.

Bai Jingzhen stood among the officials, looking coldly at the real or fake sadness on the faces of the people around him, his heart was as cold as a frozen pool of stagnant water.

The exquisite and luxurious Jinsinan coffin was placed on the high platform, and rows of melon and fruit incense candles were displayed in front of the platform.

He knew that the coffin was empty, and only the crown worn by the emperor was placed in it, and two stone slabs that were neither light nor heavy were pressed.

Yuan Sui's body was secretly replaced by someone he sent out when it was encoffined this morning.

According to the old man's last wish, he found a blessed place with excellent scenery on the top of the highest mountain in Canglan Mountain, and placed him there where there are flowers in spring and shade in summer, and he can touch the sky with his hands. The place of Yunxia.

"Lift up the coffin, kneel—" the old eunuch swung his fly whisk, his hoarse voice was full of grief and grief that couldn't be concealed.

All the ministers knelt down on the ground in response, and the young man followed them as he brushed his clothes and knelt, his eyes calm and unmoved.

"Kowtow—" the crowd leaned over, and the cry shook the entire imperial city immediately. The heavy nanmu coffin was moved away from the high platform inch by inch, and Yunling's carriage slowly stepped on the newly opened Shinto path in the city.

The whole capital was covered with plains, and the belated death knell in the imperial temple rang throughout the suburbs of the capital.

Within [-] chimes, Bai Jingzhen looked up at the long blue sky in autumn.

The dead leaves on the branches in September are almost gone, and the wind blows up a wisp of thin smoke, blowing away the last thread-like clouds in the sky, leaving only a mirror like a lake.

—Your Majesty, you are free at last.

*
"My minister Bai's Jingzhen, I have met Your Highness Jingshu." Bai Jingzhen lowered his eyebrows, raised his wide sleeves respectfully, and bowed to Yuan Lingwei in a very standard way.

Not long after Emperor Daxing's funeral, all the ministers who had stayed in Qingyang Palace to mourn, found reasons one after another and left.

And as the prince and grand teacher, since he was supposed to stay and help the prince to deal with the many matters that happened during the emperor's death, he never left in a hurry. This time, he just saw that outside Qingyang Palace, who was about to face Yuan Lingwei who went to the harem.

Now that the late emperor's edict has been made public, the government and the public all know that Princess Jingshu Yuan Lingwei is the future eldest princess and the powerful regent.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Bai Jingzhen, who is the representative of the current emperor, to go forward and say hello to him. After Yuan Lingwei looked back and caught a glimpse of him, she was only slightly stunned for a moment, and her complexion returned to normal in the blink of an eye. .

"Master Bai." Yuan Lingwei, who turned back, gave her a blessing in return.

Although in terms of status alone, she, the future eldest princess and regent, should be much higher than the young man in front of her, so there should be no need to return the courtesy.

However, although she has the power to assist the government, she doesn't have half a military order. The eldest princess who has no military power is naturally not as good as the future grand master who is in the hands of the forbidden army-of course she dare not belittle him.

Yuan Lingwei closed her eyes, and the black pupils under her eyelashes flickered again and again. After the posthumous edict left by the late emperor was announced to the public, and the whereabouts of the soldiers of the imperial army were pointed out in the edict, many party members of the previous dynasty were arrested. Brightly divided into three big factions.

One is a group of civil servants headed by her husband Xuanninghou Lu Jinghong and based on the Lu family; the other is many military generals headed by the prince Taishi Bai Jingzhen and assisted by the General Zhenguo's mansion; the third is temporarily headed by her, including A group of neutral courtiers including several close courtiers of the former emperor and veterans of the two dynasties.

These three factions pull each other and contain each other in the court, and it is rare to see some signs of stability in the current Fuli Qian Dynasty.

As for these three factions...

The woman's pupils couldn't help shaking—she probably knew what kind of plans Lu Shi had in mind; and she was a descendant of the Yuan family, so she must find a way to protect their Yuan family's country and society.

But the descendant of the Bai family in front of me...

She really didn't know what was going on in Bai Jingzhen's mind, and she also didn't understand why her father gave the soldier talisman of the Forbidden Army of the Imperial City to the orphan of the Bai clan before he died.

He wasn't afraid that Bai Jingzhen hated Fuli and Yuan's family because of the fact that General Zhaowu's house was ransacked and beheaded?

Yuan Lingwei was thinking this way, but she refused to show any abnormality on her face. Gu Zi raised Pai Deyi's pale smile: "Master Bai, what's the matter with you?"

——Emperor Daxing had just left, so she couldn't be overly happy, but she couldn't bear to be sad all day long, right?
"Your Highness, I have nothing to do with you, I just saw His Highness here, so I stopped by to say hello to you." The corners of Bai Jingzhen's lips curled slightly, and his face became more respectful, "Besides, this minister has not yet congratulated His Highness on moving to the right (Note : The joy of being promoted."

"Let me congratulate Your Highness here first."

"Your Highness, at this age, has already become the prince regent who is under one person and above ten thousand people. His future is bound to be limitless."

"Master Bai, you are too serious, and we are happy together." Yuan Lingwei responded with a smile. When reconciling, she took advantage of the opportunity to mention the fact that the young man will be promoted to the Grand Master in the near future, and she opened her mouth with two compliments, "Master Bai is young. If you want to be promoted to Grand Master lightly, this is the real 'unlimited future'."

"Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, Mr. Bai, you are not yet in your thirties this year?"

"The teacher of the emperor who is not old enough to stand up, this is the first in our history of Fuli."

"Your Highness, what you say is really frustrating." With his sleeves closed, Bai Jingzhen pursed his lips, pretending to look around unintentionally, with a faint smile, "Speaking of which, why are there only so many left today?" You yourself, but you don't see Master Hou accompanying you?"

"I remember that when you entered the palace to pay respects to the Emperor Daxing, Lord Hou would always enter the palace with you and wait for you outside the palace."

"Him? Oh, Master Bai, don't mention that useless thing to me now." Mentioning Lu Jinghong, Yuan Lingwei's face twisted uncontrollably, "He will, right now. Competing with Bengong, why are you waiting here?"

Ever since the late emperor's edict was made public and she gained real power, her man had a big tantrum with her——

He wanted to use her channel to recommend two more nephews from his Lu family to the court, but she felt that the court was at the moment when he was employing people, and those few people who were not well-educated were not capable of military affairs, and entering the court would be a dead body meal and empty title.

It's better to put this matter aside for the time being, and wait until everything in the court is running as usual, and then she will find two insignificant side jobs for them, so that it is convenient for her to send someone to take care of them.

Unexpectedly, that Lu Jinghong not only refused to obey, but also got into troublesome issues with her such as "the power of the monarch and ministers". She quarreled with him twice in a fit of anger and threw him out of the house. I don't go back to the princess mansion for a few days!
"He was so heartbroken by this palace scolding a few days ago, he ran out of the princess mansion overnight." Yuan Lingwei snorted coldly with a sullen face, "He said he was going to stay with Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry for two days to discuss matters with him. As a result, I haven't entered the house for five days."

"Who knows whether he is real or fake..."

"It's not like I don't know about Lu Shi's small thoughts, but no matter how much they mess around, they are just thinking about it. That's all, Mr. Bai, we won't mention him."
