Troubled Times Survival Raiders

The funeral news of Emperor Jianning's death had been sent out from the palace, the common people took off their bright-colored clothes one after another, and the women took off their gold jewelry.The white cloth from the silk and satin shop was selling so fast that the butcher even put away the knives and was not allowed to slaughter for 49 days.

Civil servants and military generals changed into crown uniforms and hurried to the palace.Ranked women should also wear makeup according to their rank, and enter the palace together with their concubines to perform filial piety with the queen.

All the brine books and grand chariots in the palace were set up. Wu Junyi's eyes were red and his face was pale. He led the clan ministers to bow and worship, and enshrined Emperor Jianning.

After being encoffined, Zigong will also be parked in Qianqing Palace for a period of time.

After Emperor Jianning moved the capital, he asked the eminent monks to choose a geomantic treasure to dig the mausoleum. Fortunately, it was worthy of completion two years ago, so it would not be too busy. After 27 days, Zigong can be buried.

In addition to preparing for the funeral of Emperor Jianning, there is another major event, which is the enthronement of the new emperor.

This was the first court meeting after the death of the first emperor, and the huge Fengtian Hall was filled with civil servants and generals in rows, silent.The golden throne in the middle was empty, only a young man in a black robe stood on the steps with his hands behind his back.

He looked young, but his body was strong and straight. Apart from the golden crown on his head, he had no other accessories, but he was as majestic as the plain black robe with no traces.On a beautiful melon-seeded face, a pair of sharp eyebrows with sharp edges and corners, and sharp eyes swept across the officials.

Wu Junyi was only one step away from that position, but he was not in a hurry, but stood beside him, listening slowly to Li Qi's recitation of the prime minister's will.

When Emperor Jianning passed away, Eunuch Gao didn't delay at all, and hanged himself with a white silk that night.As a person who has been following Emperor Jianning, his ability to figure out people's hearts is at its peak.He knew that he knew too many secrets that he shouldn't know.The new emperor may not tolerate him.And if he simply died, he would win some favor for his adopted nephew.

Once Eunuch Gao left, it was logical that Li Qi, Wu Junyi's personal eunuch, took over the position.

The former emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. There are many things to do.Li Qi read one by one, his voice was almost hoarse:

Prince Duanren, the emperor's elder brother, was posthumously named Emperor Duanren.Give the mother concubine Zhang Meiren the emblem of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, respect the queen as the Empress Dowager Cilie, Xu Zhaoyi educated Duanren Emperor well, and became a virtuous concubine.

The youngest brother, King of Shoushun County, Jin became the king of Wei, and when he was older, he was formally canonized and selected fiefdoms.

The posthumous title of Emperor Jianning was Emperor Wen, Sage, Wu Rui, Zhe Mingxiao.

This posthumous title is supposed to not be too critical a matter, just go through the motions and praise the late emperor, and it's over.It's a pity that the courtiers couldn't sit still with the posthumous title chosen by the ceremonial officer this time.And the first one to attack was the new emperor's teacher, Zhou Kuang.

"Your Highness, I think that the first emperor's posthumous title can be selected from Xian, Zhao, Huai and other characters, but it seems inappropriate to use Ming characters." Zhou Kuang stepped forward, interrupted Li Qi's call, and advised implicitly.

Shining in the four directions is called Ming, the sage can make it known as Ming, and the virtuous and able to go far is called Ming.This...Emperor Jianning has nothing to do with it.

The ministers who are familiar with etiquette know it well.The new emperor has just succeeded to the throne, and it is not very authentic to speak ill of the former emperor, so just choose a few decent posthumous posthumous meanings.

Who knew that the ceremonial officer proposed several posthumous titles to send up, but Wu Junyi was not satisfied with the selection, and even drew up the posthumous title by himself. Jia Shengde didn't want to offend the new emperor, so he happily decided on the decree.

During the reign of Emperor Jianning, the court was peaceful and peaceful, but it does not mean that everyone is not angry!The officials of the main combat faction surrendered without a fight and succumbed to Xianbei. They had long been completely disappointed with Emperor Jianning.And even the Zhuhe faction was dissatisfied with Emperor Jianning's favorite servant who was good at calligraphy and painting for a long time.Why have they been studying for decades, but they can't compare to other people's good handwriting and a few sour poems?

Even the great ancestor who opened up the frontiers and the Renzong who is recognized as a virtuous person, did not dare to use the word "Ming"!What's more, when Emperor Jianning was in power, foreign tribes invaded and rebelled constantly, so he didn't look like a sage king!

In fact, the new emperor's biological mother, Zhang Meiren, came from a humble background, and her natal family made a big mistake, so it was all right to make her the empress dowager, but there was something wrong with the empress dowager.It's a pity that everyone thinks that His Royal Highness lost his mother since childhood, so the right should be used as compensation.

Unexpectedly, the new emperor has stepped up and challenged the courtiers openly!

Zhou Kuang's first remonstrance seemed to open the sluice gate, and more civil servants poured out to bow down, please change your posthumous title.

The proposal to replace the word "Ming" also changed from "xian" and "zhao" at the beginning to "benevolence" and "xian", and finally there were even one or two such as "huai" and "min". The posthumous posthumous title.

The more Wu Junyi listened, the furrows between his brows became deeper and deeper, but those literati who had been silent for a long time spoke more and more vigorously, as if to criticize Emperor Jianning and let out a long breath.

Others didn't pay attention, but Jia Shengde, the head of civil servants, and the heads of the clan, King Yu and King Chu, who were standing at the bottom of the steps, could see them clearly.The King of Chu hesitated to speak, but Wu Junyi finally couldn't bear it, and shouted violently: "Shut up!"

The courtiers were finally quiet.

"The late emperor's bones are not cold yet, so you're going to rebel!" Wu Junyi said sharply.

The hat of rebellion was buckled down, and the temperature in Fengtian Hall instantly dropped to freezing point.

At this time, Wu Muhao finally took a hesitant step. "His Royal Highness, I think that the late emperor was sage, good and well-known, and honored the glorious sun. It is very appropriate to use the word 'Xuan'. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Although the word "Xuan" is not as good as "Ming", it is still a very high evaluation.After the argument just now, Wu Junyi was also a little tired, so he nodded reluctantly and asked, "What do you guys think?"

Facts have proved that most officials are still weak.Threatened by Wu Junyi in the open and in the dark, King Chu passed a step and obediently came down.At the same time, the courtiers knew in their hearts that the King of Chu was still standing firmly behind the prince.

In this way, Emperor Jianning's posthumous title was designated as Emperor Xuanxiao, Emperor Wen Shengwu Ruizhe, and the temple name was designated as Yingzong.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day. Your Highness, please ascend to the throne as soon as possible." The previous topic came to an end, and Jia Shengde finally came out.

He spoke, and more people knelt down, "Your Highness, please take the throne early."

Fighting back and forth, but forgetting the most important thing.Although this is the new emperor in everyone's eyes, he is still a prince in terms of status, and he has not let go of his promise to succeed him.

According to etiquette, they have to recommend three times, and Wu Junyi has to reject it three times before they can accept it.

As the late emperor's brothers, the two princes, King Yu and King Chu, who threatened the throne the most, were more sincere than others, and worked harder. They bent down on the steps in the hall, weeping and crying If Wu Junyi refused to accept the throne, he would have to kneel down for a long time.

Although this play was sung a bit late, it is still sincere and thoughtful.

Wu Junyi used the excuse of lack of talent and young age to shirk again and again, but finally couldn't find a reason, so he nodded, but still refused to sit on the throne. "After the burial of the father and the completion of the enthronement ceremony, the lonely person can take his place."

Before that, he'll make do with it and stand the same as Jian Guoshi.

"I have one more thing to tell you. Your Highness is getting older and has no side concubine. After succeeding to the throne, you have to consider the issue of having a queen." Jia Shengde continued.

Wu Junyi felt a headache when he heard the word Lihou.He replied: "As a son of man alone, he should keep his filial piety for his father. He wears plain onyx and removes meat and meat." He rushed to the court, only in time to take off the ornaments, picked out a black robe without dragon patterns, and put it on. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the plain white robe is already in the process of making it.

In the past, I couldn't be the master, but now I can do whatever I can to save money.Wu Junyi slashed his share immediately, three dishes and one soup for each meal.If the emperor is like this, the women in the harem have to follow him.Fortunately, Wu Junyi didn't want to do it overnight, and told the queen mother, the concubine and other concubines of the former emperor not to follow him in reducing their status.

It was rare to have this opportunity, and he said with a somber face: "I am alone in keeping my father's filial piety, and have no intention of reciting poems or painting. The palace academy will be disbanded for the time being. The servants will receive their salaries, so let's return them to their original places."

When the treasury is empty, it is time to be thrifty.Wu Junyi was not afraid that others would call him harsh, and refused to even give rewards, so he closed his father's favorite academy and drove away poets and painters.

"The Hall of Martial Heroes, let it be vacant for now." He had to think carefully about where the forbidden army should practice.

When the courtiers heard the exciting news, they couldn't wait to clap their hands in celebration.As for the use of the Hall of Martial Heroes, I don't care at all.

"According to the law, the emperor observes filial piety with the day instead of the moon. Your Highness needs to observe the filial piety for 27 days. The matter of becoming a queen needs to be discussed in advance. The ceremony can be postponed." Only Jia Shengde insisted on the matter of becoming a queen, and refused to let go.Wu Junyi didn't have any side concubines or concubines. If he became a queen now, the queen would easily be favored. If she gave birth to Yuanzi while she was young and affectionate, why worry?

This is a good opportunity for him to hold it in his own hands, and Jia Shengde can't bear to miss it.

Unexpectedly, Wu Junyi frowned, and said expressionlessly: "I was raised by my father alone, and the friendship is extraordinary. Now that my father has passed away, I should keep my filial piety for three years as a son of man, and use the grace of nurturing."

"Your Highness... no!"

Wu Junyi's words were quite earth-shattering, but when Jia Shengde knelt down to persuade him, he realized that he had nothing to say.Such behavior is to demonstrate benevolence and filial piety, which is a great thing that civil servants can't wait for, how to persuade them?

What's more, this person is only 15 years old, and it seems a little too impatient to persuade him with his heirs.

Jia Shengde had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he only said that his majesty should put the state affairs first and not delay the government affairs, and urged him to stay only for 27 days.

Wu Junyi pursed his lips tightly. "On the 27th, I will stop going to court. I will not hear the court proceedings or approve memorials. After the funeral, I will deal with political affairs. To keep my father's filial piety, the most important thing is to stop banquets and prohibit entertainment, so as not to delay political affairs."

He explained it softly, and most of the courtiers could accept it, even Zhou Kuang nodded and said: "The prince's action is an example for all people."

Wu Junyi's dissatisfaction with Zhou Kuang's first objection to the posthumous title also dissipated a lot.

Jia Shengde searched for the reasons, but only saw a group of people who agreed more, feeling depressed, but knew that there was no chance.In order not to make the new emperor dissatisfied, it is worth pushing the unsaid words among the courtiers.

The young emperor who was about to enthroned looked around and saw that no one had any objections, so he raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Wait for three years of solitary filial piety before raising the matter of succession."
