"Then, the old slave will leave first." Wei Zhongxian touched the pill in his bosom, bowed and retreated.

After Wei Zhongxian left, Li Mu stood quietly outside the main hall, looking up at the night sky of Daming. I don't know how long it has been since he took a serious look at the beautiful starry sky.

Only at this most critical moment will I think of the beauty of the sky.

After a long time, Li Mu said with emotion: "The starry sky is still the starry sky, and Daming is by no means what it used to be."

After finishing speaking, Li Mu walked in the direction of Qianqing Palace. He didn't know if the beauty queen in the West Pavilion had woken up, so it was necessary to take a look.

Chapter 2

The fifteenth day of the eighth month in the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty is the ancient Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of reunion. (Www.MianHuaTang.Cc provides Txt for free download)

This year is also a day of mourning, national mourning, and national mourning.

It has been more than three days since Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao passed away, and the late emperor's coffin is still placed in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor's bedroom, as a place for mourning and vigil before entering the mausoleum.

On the second day after Emperor Tianqi's death, Jin Yiwei assisted the eunuchs under Wei Zhongxian's command to convey the mourning of Emperor Longyu's death in the capital.

At the same time, an obituary was issued to inform the world of the emperor's death, so that the people of the world could mourn for the emperor.

During this period, the capital will send fast horses to carry the obituary, and send the news to the state capitals at all levels of Ming Dynasty and the royal clan and kings in the shortest possible time.

The officials in the capital, led by the cabinet, wore white linen mourning clothes, and went to Sishanmen to mourn the late emperor for three days as courtiers.

In the funeral etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, wives of the third grade or above were required to wear a round-neck gown with large sleeves and linen cloth on their heads, which is commonly known as wearing linen and filial piety.

Together with her husband, she went to Shansimen to weep for three days.

The etiquette after the death of the emperor in the Ming Dynasty was not very complicated, and there were some differences between closeness and closeness. The capital city was in the center of national mourning.

The orthodox mourning only takes three days, and after three days, you only need to wear plain clothes for 27 days to express your condolences to the late emperor.

This is only a regulation for officials in the DPRK and China.

The people in the capital do not need to wear mourning clothes, they only need to wear plain clothes for 27 days.

In areas outside the capital, the time for people to wear plain clothes will be shortened, and it will take a total of thirteen days.

Local officials, the clan kings and the capital officials have similar regulations.

It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty was not too strict with some etiquette requirements, and compared with previous dynasties, it was extremely simple.

It is a good example for all dynasties in China to learn from not adding a little burden to the people of the country, especially Li Mu's original plane.

Compared with the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the weddings and funerals in some places are simply inferior.

Three days later, just like ordinary people's homes, the funeral ceremony of Emperor Apocalypse Zhu Youjiao is over, and the rest only needs to be parked in Qianqing Palace for four days to make up for seven days.

This is what the folks call the first seven.

After the first seven days, the funeral officials of the former emperor of the Ministry of Rites can follow the rules to carry Zhu Youxiao's coffin out of the Qianqing Palace and bury it in the mausoleum prepared in advance.

But that will have to wait until after the first seven days. The most important thing right now is to read the last emperor's edict to confirm the new emperor.

In the words of the Minister Shangzuo, a country cannot be without a king for a day.

Three days after the official funeral, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, led by the cabinet ministers, lined up in plain clothes in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, waiting for the late emperor's edict.

Determine the candidate for the new emperor.

This day was also the first time that Li Mu officially appeared in the center of Ming power, and witnessed the opening of the historical drama he led.

However, Li Mu did not stand in the civil and military ranks of the Manchu Dynasty, but as the commander of the emperor's own army, as the commander of the Jinyiwei, he stood on the right hand of the dragon chair with a treasured sword.

Wei Zhongxian stood on the left hand side of the dragon chair.

In addition, not far to the right of the dragon chair, there is also a small phoenix chair, which is specially prepared for Zhang Yan.

The position where Li Mu stood happened to be between the two chairs, so the arrangement was made because Zhang Yan, who was going to court for the first time, would feel nervous.

With the dragon chair as the center, on each step of Danbi, there are two brocade guards and eagle guards in plain flying fish suits, extending fan-shaped to the outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

As far as Fengtianmen, it is also Taihemen.

Since there was no emperor on the dragon chair, the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty who were in power could only pay homage to the queen sitting on the phoenix chair.

To show respect for the imperial power.

Under the leadership of the chief minister of the cabinet, Huang Liji, the visit to the court meeting began: "I will see the empress!"

Since the new emperor has not been officially confirmed, Zhang Yan cannot be called the queen mother yet.

Seeing the civil and military worship in unison, the beautiful queen sitting on the phoenix chair was obviously stunned, and looked at Li Mu who was standing aside for help.

Sensing the tension of the beauty queen, Li Mu smiled slightly and nodded his head to show encouragement. At this time, he can't do anything instead, and can only rely on the beauty queen's own composure.

Encouraged by Li Mu's smile, Zhang Yan seemed to gain confidence, and calmly said to Manchu Wenwu: "All the gentlemen are free."

"Thank you, Empress."

After thanking you, Huang Liji, Wei Zhongxian's minion, stood up from the ranks and said respectfully: "Empress, the late emperor has gone, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, please trouble the empress, please issue the last emperor's edict, and let us know clearly. world."

"I would like to trouble you, Empress, please issue the late emperor's last edict."

After the cabinet minister Huang Liji finished his respectful report, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the court hall like a wind blowing green onion, begging the queen to show the late emperor's will.

Standing on the steps, Li Mu looked down at the civil and military men of the court kneeling down, although there were some courtiers who didn't understand the situation.

In such a big environment, we can only follow the trend, after all, we are asking for the late emperor's edict.

Feeling that the heat is almost ready, Li Mu gave Wei Zhongxian a look, telling him to prepare for the imperial decree to be read out later, then turned his head and nodded to the beauty queen.

Zhang Yan, who was signaled by Li Mu, took a deep breath, and said to the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty who were kneeling on the ground: "Since the ministers are like this, I will not shirk anymore. Eunuch Wei will read the late emperor's edict."

"Promise!" Wei Zhongxian responded in a timely manner, and took out the prepared will.

Standing in the middle of Danbi, he unfolded the imperial edict, and said to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "The edict of the first emperor, all ministers, listen to the edict."

"The ministers welcome the late emperor's edict."

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's imperial edict: I... pity my queen... Duoqing and believe in the youngest son of the king as the crown prince,...succeed to the throne."

Li Mu listened to Wei Zhongxian standing on the Danbi and recited the edict in a rhythmic tone, even though he asked him to prepare the edict, he was dizzy from hearing it.

But Li Mu understood the general meaning. At the beginning, Zhu Youxiao inherited the Ming throne at a young age, what happened, and then felt that something was going to die.

Thinking of the queen in the harem living alone in the world, without a single heir, and thinking that he has no heir, it is really sad, and I am ashamed of my ancestors.
