The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 759
"The first thing I do when I take over the throne is to clean up the government. For all the ministers who have been included in the Ministry of Punishment, how do you do this official on weekdays, reflect on it. As long as you have a clear heart, the national law will not be responsible. If you Being an official of the common people, but filling his own pockets, what should he do? There is no need for this Palace to deal with it, and the country will punish him." After speaking, Feng Yaosu waved his hand and asked Meng Zhuang to take him away.

At this time, the ministers who had already stepped into the palace gate and stood under Feng Yao's chariot were silent.Some of them wiped their sweat secretly, but most of them pointed their thumbs secretly, praising the new emperor for his decisiveness and wisdom.

Feng Yao said again: "All the ministers standing in front of this Palace now understand in their hearts that this is not that this Palace intends to eradicate dissidents, but is just doing things impartially. Not all of you may be clean, but compared with those before, there is no one Good officials. So I keep you here, I just hope that you will be more considerate of the people in the future. There is no shortage of ambitious people in Fengjue Kingdom. Even if most of the corrupt officials are cut off, there will inevitably be more young and promising people. Good officials who have the heart to serve the country and serve the people are used by me."

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise." Everyone said in unison, but they were quite respectful.

Feng Yao motioned for the chariot to drive to the entrance of Longqing Hall. At this time, white lanterns had already been hung outside Longqing Hall, and there were maids and eunuchs in mourning clothes hanging white cloth and black gauze.

Chen Qing was also dressed in mourning, when he saw the chariot arrived, he personally held a black lacquered tray and came to Feng Yao's chariot.Inside was a piece of oyster and a piece of linen.

Feng Yao got out of the car and changed into Zhongxiao's mourning clothes.At the same time, he took a "casual" look at Chen Qing.Chen Qing understood and nodded quietly.Then said in a deep voice: "The late Emperor passed away, Your Highness, please mourn."

"Take me to see Emperor Father." Feng Yao nodded, with sadness on his face.Instead, he nodded to the ministers, indicating that he could accompany him.

The ministers also had white mourning clothes presented by court ladies, and they had all changed at this time, and they followed Feng Yao into the Longqing Palace together.

The interior of the Longqing Hall was even more solemn. Incense was lit, and a musician knelt beside him, beating the nine small copper bells according to the time of day.

In the inner hall, the screen in front of the dragon couch has been removed, and the bed gauze has been replaced with white, half-draped and half-covered, only a corpse lying flat on the couch can be vaguely seen.Huang Chouxiulong's brocade quilt covered his shoulders, but his face was exposed.

Several imperial doctors were kneeling under the bed at this time, also dressed in mourning.Seeing Feng Yao coming with all the ministers, he kowtowed and saluted immediately.

Feng Yao asked loudly: "Why did the father die so suddenly?"

One of the imperial doctors knelt and took a step forward, put his hands on the ground, and knocked his head on the ground, and replied: "His Royal Highness, the late emperor has been ill for a long time, and he has been using elixir to continue his life. It has long been exhausted. Now that the great journey is going west, it is due to the limit of heaven, please mourn your highness."

The rest of the imperial doctors kowtowed again, and said in unison, "Please mourn, Your Highness."

Feng Yao nodded, "Yes", and then glanced lightly at Chen Qing.Chen Qing looked affirmatively, nodded his jaw slightly, then walked towards the dragon couch, pulled up the white gauze, and exposed the emperor lying on the dragon couch.

I saw that the emperor's face was slightly blue, and his face was stiff; but with his eyes closed, he seemed to be sleeping, which was considered peaceful.The ferocious appearance of black blood flowing from the mouth and nose was completely gone.

Feng Yao glanced at it, and knew that it was also Chen Qing's credit, everything was handled extremely well.Those few imperial doctors can be regarded as enlightened people, and what they said was very complete.

Feng Yao stepped forward, and personally pulled the quilt upwards from the emperor's shoulders, covering the emperor's face.Then he took two steps back and knelt down in front of the couch, and then wept aloud: "Father..."

All the ministers also knelt down behind Feng Yao and kowtowed to the dragon bed together.

After three kowtows, Chen Qing stepped forward and put down the white bed gauze again, turned around and helped Feng Yao up.Persuaded: "Your Highness needs to be mournful and obedient, Fengjue Kingdom is still waiting for His Highness to take charge of the country."

All the ministers consoled with one voice, and asked His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager to succeed to the throne immediately, saying that the country cannot live without a king for a day.

Feng Yao wiped his tears with his sleeve, but he has recovered his majesty.During the self-study, he took out a bunch of golden keys, asked Chen Qing to open those treasure boxes in front of all civil and military officials, took out the jade seal and military order, and carried them to the main hall with Feng Yao.

With the imperial edict written by the emperor himself, as well as jade seals and military orders, Feng Yao succeeded to the throne and became the third female emperor of Fengjue Kingdom.

After discussion, the succession ceremony was scheduled for ten days later.The national funeral ceremony three days later will also be presided over by Feng Yao himself.

By the time the dust settled, the succession and funeral details had all been discussed, and it was nearly three o'clock.There were people in the palace to watch the funeral, Feng Yao didn't want to stay in the palace, so he went back to the mansion.

There are also white lanterns hanging high outside the gate of the mansion.In fact, since the death knell of the emperor's funeral was sounded, it has been announced that the whole country is in mourning.Up to the palace, down to the door of the people's homes are the same white lanterns, everyone is dressed in plain clothes, fasting for three days.

Shuying and Yingrong greeted them, and handed the stove to Fengyao.

It was only after Feng Yao took over the hand stove that he felt a burst of coldness, and only then did he realize that even the breath he exhaled was white mist in this freezing season.Feng Yao told the attendants on the left and right to retreat, and she walked towards the bedroom, asking, "Where is Aya, have you ever come back?"

Yingrong said: "Go back to the master, but never came back. But the fourth steward came back."

Feng Yao said: "Tell him to come see me."

While waiting for Xiao Si to come over, Feng Yao hastily changed into a neat plain colored shirt.The white coat was still on the outside, but the sackcloth over the shoulders was untied.

Just after changing clothes, Xiaosi said.

Feng Yao anxiously asked: "Is there any news from Lezi? Has Aya also rushed over?"

Xiaosi also knew what Fengyao was anxious about, and hurriedly replied: "There is no one on the Yongqing River. But Aya and Lezi have already gone down the river and went out of the city to look for it. It's just..."

"Just what? Is there any other big change?" Feng Yao was startled.Now she is afraid of hearing the word "just", which means that everything she thinks will come to nothing, and every accident will make her feel very distressed.

Xiaosi said: "It's just that it's been cold recently, and the Yongqing River has frozen. If you want to go down the river to find people, you need to break the ice. This is a big project. Lezi has returned home before. Asked me to prepare a lot of tools, and now I have sent them over."

Feng Yao felt a chill in his heart when he heard it, and his heart ached like a twist.She could imagine what kind of big battle it was. It was not easy to break the ice and find someone!
Feng Yao put on a black mink fur cloak, and said to Xiaosi: "You lead the way ahead, let's go and have a look."

"Master, the night is dark and the sky is cold, and the cold wind by the river is piercing, we should wait for the news." Xiao Si glanced at Feng Yao's anxious expression with a bit of fatigue, and could not help persuading.
