Chapter 118
The rising sun cast a golden glow on the glazed red walls of the Mausoleum Palace.

More than half an hour has passed since the early court time, and the imperial throne is still empty in the court hall of the Mausoleum Kingdom.Since he ascended the throne, the emperor who has always been on time to court has been unable to appear for a long time.

The courtiers, in groups of three or five, or groups of four or five, lowered their heads and whispered to each other, discussing a lot.

"I heard that the emperor went to Prince Zhao's mansion again last night. I'm afraid he went to look for the third princess of Qin again."

The speaker was Taishi Ling Wang Ping. Wang Ping was about 60 years old, and his beard was white.

"The harem doesn't even have a single concubine now, the emperor is young, how can he stay still." Tai Changqing Deng Huai shook his head and sighed softly.

"The day before yesterday, General Wei proposed to confer the third princess as queen, and the veteran was very worried. If the third princess of Daqin really becomes the queen of our Mausoleum, wouldn't it be a misfortune for the country?" Wang Ping was worried.

Deng Huai comforted, "Don't worry about the Taishi, now you are a sage, and you should act in your own way."

Wang Ping stroked his white beard and sighed: "If the emperor is really bewitched by the three princesses and insists on going his own way, what should he do?"

"If this is the case, then the minister will only have death advice!"

The censor doctor, who always had a straight face and said that he was owed 500 million yuan, stood upright and stood beside him was stern, and suddenly interrupted loudly, with an impassioned voice, which shocked all the officials.

Pei Song, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple next to him, smiled slightly, and said gently: "Don't get excited, Yan Yushi, where will you end up admonishing him to death? The matter of sealing the empress belongs to the Ministry of Rites, why don't you ask Li Shangshu about his progress?"

The eyes of all the ministers fell on Li Heng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and a fast-talking minister asked, "Li Shangshu, what does the emperor say about the list of concubines selected by the Ministry of Rites?"

Li Shangshu looked quite depressed: "The emperor has not given any advice on the concubine. As for the concubine, the Ministry of Rites has appointed 12 people, and the emperor does not want any of them. It was the Ministry of Rites who argued hard, and the queen mother also made a statement, so I reluctantly kept two concubines." .”

All the ministers were a little surprised. Ganqing's selection of concubines was a lot of noise, and in the end only two were selected?

Could it be that the emperor is really fascinated by the third princess, and has no interest in other women?

Wang Ping became more and more worried: "General Wei is the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and he has always been close to the emperor. His proposal that day may also be the emperor's intention."

"That's not necessarily the case." A minister looked at the back of the prime minister Pei Yuandao in front of him, and lowered his voice: "It is said that the emperor and the prime minister Pei's family are young and childhood sweethearts. The candidate for the queen should be Miss Pei's family, right?" ?”

Just as the officials were discussing, the young emperor slowly appeared in everyone's sight.All the ministers shut up immediately, and the court, which was noisy before, fell silent immediately.

After several officials finished their work, Li Heng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said, "Your Majesty, the candidate for the concubine of the harem has been decided, but the queen position has not yet been decided. The emperor said earlier that there is a candidate for the empress, please tell me which woman it is , the ministers and others may go to contact in advance according to the etiquette system, and start arranging the ceremony of the empress."

The emperor's voice was extremely low: "There is no need to contact, and the gift of the queen does not need to follow the conventional etiquette. I will issue an edict and announce it to the world."

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. It is always a big ceremony for the posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous ceremony to tell the ancestors of heaven and earth. What's the matter with simply issuing an edict and posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous appointment?

Just when a minister was about to remonstrate that "the ancestral system must not be violated", the emperor's next sentence shocked all the ministers, and their eyeballs fell to the ground.

"The empress will be buried in Jiyu Mountain today, and a conferring ceremony will be held at the funeral."
