Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?
Chapter 262 Kaiyuan 24th Year, Autumn, Emperor's Collapse
A grand ceremony of abdication and passing of the throne made Li Changshou almost ascend to the altar!
Countless people have witnessed it, relished it, and spread it by word of mouth.
In the imperial palace, envoys from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and foreign nationalities are meeting with the new emperor one by one.
This is also Li Changshou's first visit to court after he ascended the throne.
Accept the pilgrimage of all nations, and there are still major events that need to be announced by him.
"Eunuch Cao, declare the decree."
Li Changshou was dressed in a dragon robe and sat high on the dragon chair in the main hall. Looking at the civil and military officials below, he spoke directly.
Eunuch Cao also understood it a long time ago. Hearing this, he quickly took out the imperial edict he had prepared.
"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that today..."
Li Changshou watched all this, and there was an extra dragon chair beside him, which was prepared for the Supreme Emperor Qianming Emperor. Of course, this was only a temporary arrangement. Everyone knew that Emperor Qianming was running out of time, and he could hold on until now. It's a miracle.
Besides, if there is no two masters in a country, how can there be two emperors in the world?
Even if it is the Supreme Emperor, it is impossible to visit the government in person again. This move is just for outsiders to see, in order to prove that Li Changshou is a filial son through and through.
The imperial decree in the hands of Eunuch Cao is to respect Emperor Qianming as the Supreme Emperor, still enjoy the etiquette of the emperor, wear twelve crowns, and everything is no different from the emperor.
Regarding this result, none of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty objected.
Then, after Li Changshou signaled, Eunuch Cao announced the second imperial decree.
It is nothing more than taking back the previous decree of Emperor Qianming to let the noble concubine be buried, and instead the noble concubine went to Ganye Temple to become a nun.
If the first imperial decree is expected by everyone, it is also a necessary process after the abdication and succession of the past dynasties.
Then the second imperial edict was completely beyond everyone's guess.
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is His Majesty's mother and concubine. Now that Your Majesty is enthroned, the imperial concubine is the empress dowager of my Dagan Dynasty. How can she become a nun?"
The imperial concubine has wooed many important ministers over the years, and indeed some people jumped out to object.
Before Li Changshou could make a sound, a censor from the Qing School also stood up and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent, and the Empress Dowager is benevolent. I think this will convince the world even more!"
It can be said that the evaluation of the imperial concubine inside and outside the court has been full of controversy for many years.
Even though those people in the Qing school, headed by the prime minister, have firmly supported Li Changshou's ascension to the throne, they still have some criticisms about the imperial concubine.
Moreover, I am also afraid that the noble concubine will continue to interfere with the entire court because she is the queen mother and listens to the government behind the curtain.
"My lord Wei, what do you call that?! Noble concubine, no, it's the empress dowager who is your majesty's mother. Now that your majesty has just enthroned, you have asked the empress dowager to become a nun. Wouldn't it make people in the world feel that your majesty is not filial?"
"Your Majesty Liu's words are wrong. Your Majesty just said that the Empress Dowager went to Ganye Temple to pray for the Supreme Emperor and the people of the dynasty. Can you say that His Majesty is not filial?"
Wei Yushi sneered, he was assassinated by the prince before, and now he finally returned to court.
As a censor, he had many conflicts with the imperial concubine's party.
Even if they are all loyal to Li Changshou now, it doesn't mean that the two factions can turn hostility into friendship.
"You! You are eloquently changing concepts!"
"No, no, as a subject, the old man naturally agrees with His Majesty's will. Could it be that Mr. Liu is questioning His Majesty?"
It is said that the official censor is eloquent, and in fact it is true.
This group of people, the emperors of all dynasties have actually loved and hated it, and it is very comfortable to use it well.
But once it doesn't work well, it's really true, and I'm speechless every day being bullied by these courtiers.
Just as the two factions were arguing endlessly in the court, Li Changshou finally said, "I have already decided on this matter, and it is also the intention of my father and mother. You don't need to argue any more."
As soon as this remark came out, Wei Yushi smiled, and the prime minister and others also showed satisfaction.
But those important ministers of the imperial concubine's party had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
"Retreat!"
Li Changshou stood up and personally helped Qian Mingdi leave under the gaze of everyone. This scene moved the prime minister even more.
They had already thought about it, now that King Shou is on the throne and the new king is on the throne, will they change their past filial practices and ignore the Supreme Emperor Qianming?
Although they didn't quite believe that Li Changshou would cross the river and demolish bridges, there are many similar precedents since ancient times.
There were even some emperors who were too lazy to act.
Looking at it now, it's all deeply admired.
The Central Plains has established itself in the world with filial piety since ancient times, and even emperors cannot escape this stereotype that has penetrated into the bones of the Central Plains of China.
……
"Father, my son is still living in the side hall."
After retiring from the imperial court, Li Changshou still let Emperor Qianming live in the imperial palace. It stands to reason that the Supreme Emperor would move out of the imperial palace.
As for the imperial palace of the Daqian Dynasty, there was actually a palace prepared for the Supreme Emperor.
After all, before the Daqian Dynasty, there had been a Supreme Emperor who abdicated and passed on the throne, but Li Changshou proposed that he still live in the side hall of the imperial palace.
"No, now you are the emperor of Daqian, and this emperor's palace is no longer suitable for me to live in."
Emperor Qianming smiled wryly and shook his head. He knew that his time was short, so why should he stay in the imperial palace just because of this little face?
A ceremony of abdication and passing on the throne had already made him crumbling, so he gasped and said at this moment, "You have just ascended the throne, there are still many things that need to be dealt with by you inside and outside the court, I am alone, and I don't need anyone to accompany me around the palace. "
"Father, how can this be done!"
Li Changshou frowned slightly, Qianming Emperor might die at any time with his current appearance.
Relying entirely on the ray of true energy of the great patron saint in his body to continue his life.
He didn't care about the death of the old emperor, he did what he had to do anyway, but he was afraid that his mind would become muddled and he would do something out of the ordinary before he died.
"I just want to take another look at this place where I have lived for more than 30 years before leaving."
Emperor Qianming shook his head, stubbornly refusing anyone to accompany him. Before he died, he wanted to walk all over the entire palace, just to reminisce and also a kind of sentiment.
People are about to die, and everything they have pursued for decades, looking back at this moment, it doesn't seem so important.
Throne, power, beauty...
After all this, what remains after death?
All kinds of past events involuntarily surfaced in Qian Mingdi's mind one by one.
He used to be high-spirited, youthful and full of ambition and ambition, thinking that only he can take charge of the world and lead the Daqian dynasty back to its peak and prosperity.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to kill his father and brother, and did many things...
"Go, I, walk by yourself."
Emperor Qianming left everyone behind and walked alone in the palace.
Here, there are countless memories of him, childhood, youth, growing up all the way to the present...
The Meridian Gate incident that year was a turning point in his life, and the encroachment of his brother, sister-in-law and daughter-in-law made him criticized by the officials for a while, and he was in a daze along the way.
"At least, my emperor's son is not like me."
Emperor Qianming was a little bit moved and sighed. Naturally, he didn't want future generations to walk the old road he had walked.
In the swaying, it gradually drifted away, leaving only the eyes of future generations.
In the end, Li Changshou didn't force it, and even waved off the others, leaving the last bit of time to Emperor Qianming alone. Perhaps this was the only filial piety he could do.
"Your Majesty, is there really no need for the old slave to send someone to follow?"
Eunuch Cao lowered his head and asked, this old eunuch is an evergreen tree in the palace, especially good at guessing his master's thoughts.
Just like now, Emperor Qianming didn't allow any mistakes until he died.
"It doesn't matter, just let father and emperor walk alone, and I will watch in person."
Li Changshou waved his hand, but Eunuch Cao didn't continue to ask, and then motioned for the others to back down, and he followed suit.
Looking at the sky, it looks so clear and clear, as if it symbolizes peace and prosperity in the world.
After three hours...
The palace bell rings.
In the 24rd year of Kaiyuan, autumn.
The sixth emperor of the Dagan Dynasty, Emperor Qianming, passed away!
……
The weather in autumn, like a woman's heart, is changeable.
Overcast and rainy days have given the entire capital a hazy beauty.
It has been several days since Emperor Qianming passed away, and the palace is immersed in a sad atmosphere.
The mourning hall was placed in the imperial palace, and no one objected to this decision.
After all, even the emperor Li Changshou proposed it himself, who else would object at this time?
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, and you haven't rested for a long time."
Eunuch Cao stepped forward cautiously, and no one was surprised that Emperor Qianming passed away, especially the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that Emperor Qianming would have passed away long ago if it hadn't been for supporting the ceremony of abdication.
Now it's just on the right track.
"It's okay, I want to guard the spirit of my father."
Li Changshou was dressed in filial piety. In the eyes of others, such filial emperors in all dynasties were few and far between.
Just as he was talking, he heard footsteps.
"Eunuch Cao, you go down first."
A pleasant voice sounded in the mourning hall, and it turned out that it was the noble concubine who had arrived.
Of course, her status has now changed from imperial concubine to empress dowager, and she was originally going to become a nun at Ganye Temple, but when Emperor Qianming passed away, as the late emperor's concubine, she naturally had to wait for the late emperor's funeral before leaving.
"The old slave retire."
Eunuch Cao quickly retreated, and there are not many concubines left in the palace right now.
After Li Changshou ascended the throne as the emperor, he pardoned Concubine Li and allowed her to leave the palace and return to the Wei family. He also ordered people to settle down the other concubines of the former emperor. Although they were not as prosperous as before, they could enjoy their old age in peace.
Only the imperial concubine, Zhou Huier, the current empress dowager, is in the most delicate situation.
"My son, I pay my respects to the queen mother."
When Li Changshou saw the Empress Dowager appearing, he quickly stood up to greet her. Zhou Huier, who had become the Empress Dowager, was also dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and her stunning face, which showed no trace of age, was a bit haggard.
Of course, Li Changshou could see this haggardness, it was deliberate, and it wasn't because he was saddened by Emperor Qianming's death.
More like for other reasons...
"Tomorrow is the day of the late emperor's funeral. My palace is guarding here. Your Majesty should go back and rest first."
The late emperor was at the funeral, and Li Changshou, as a son of man and an emperor, naturally couldn't be absent.
It's just that he is not tired at all in the realm of heaven and man, and this last journey is regarded as his last filial piety for the original owner, and sent to Emperor Qianming for burial.
"Mother, the children are not tired."
Seeing Li Changshou's refusal, Zhou Hui'er could only sigh lightly, with sadness and reluctance in her brows.
Tomorrow the late emperor's funeral actually means that she will leave the palace and go to Ganye Temple. From then on, the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, thinking of this place, couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Li Changshou, "I know you are feeling sad. Your father is gone, but Ben Gong is still here, and Ben Gong will always be with you..."
Countless people have witnessed it, relished it, and spread it by word of mouth.
In the imperial palace, envoys from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and foreign nationalities are meeting with the new emperor one by one.
This is also Li Changshou's first visit to court after he ascended the throne.
Accept the pilgrimage of all nations, and there are still major events that need to be announced by him.
