spring as old

The whole hall was immersed in the mourning of the loss of the emperor. After the new emperor was established, everyone knelt down and wept.Wei Xiu was always by Puyang's side, she seldom spoke, except when Puyang needed it, she handed over a handkerchief and did nothing.There was a touch of sadness floating in a pair of cold eyes. It cannot be said that she is not sad, but it cannot be seen how sad she is.

In the main hall, she is probably the most inconspicuous person.

King Jin stared at her with hatred as if he wanted to tear her skin and tear her apart.Up to now, it is still unknown who made him a partner, so he has been in the court for so many years for nothing!

A lot of work, a lot of worry, and finally paved the way for others in vain. In King Jin's heart, there is more than hatred that can be described.His eyes were gloomy, like sharp arrows, Wei Xiu seemed to sense something, turned her head to see him, but her eyes just passed his face indifferently, as if nothing happened.

King Jin gritted his teeth with hatred.

The edict has been promulgated, and two major events will follow, one is the funeral for the late emperor, and the other is the enthronement ceremony for the new emperor.The former is imminent and urgently needs someone to host.Xiao Dewen was eager to try, he really wanted to give orders, so that all the court officials would listen to his orders, but he was not very majestic, and the ministers would not listen to the advice of a young emperor who was just over ten years old and didn't understand anything.Xiao Dewen's two proposals were refuted by the minister, so he had no choice but to suppress his desire to seize power, obey the order of the ceremony officer, and hastily ascended the throne before his death.Then, in the capacity of the new emperor, he appointed the prime minister as the envoy of the mountain mausoleum, responsible for the funeral ceremony of the late emperor, and entrusted all state affairs to the three auxiliary ministers according to the order of the will.

With the backbone of the imperial court, all the officials have their own positions, and the government offices have not been affected, and they still deal with daily affairs.

Pu Yang was so sad that he knelt down in front of the coffin, letting tears flow down his cheeks.She couldn't figure it out, how to be alone and say nothing.There was a crowd of crying in the hall, the sound of crying faintly lingered in his ears, Pu Yang didn't seem to hear anything, just knelt numbly, looking at the Zi Palace in front of her that contained her father's body.She was extremely sad, there was no light in her eyes, only tears, which kept flowing out.

It would be better if she cried out, and she buried her grief quietly in her heart, which made Wei Xiu worry endlessly.

There is still much to do.The emperor passed away, but the affairs of the court still need to be handled by someone, and the three auxiliary ministers cannot always kneel before the coffin.After crying for the first scene, a servant came to invite the princess to the Xuanzheng Hall to discuss matters.

Because of kneeling for a long time, when Pu Yang got up, he was almost upside down.Wei Xiu quickly supported her, and said to the servant who came to pass the message: "Officer Lao Zhong go back first, His Highness will be here soon."

The waiter nodded and bowed in response.

As soon as he left, Wei Xiu asked someone to fetch warm water, soaked the veil, and wiped away the tears on Pu Yang's face.

Pu Yang's tears had already stopped, and after she took care of her so tenderly and thoughtfully, her eye sockets became hot again.Wei Xiu forced a smile, which was comforting, touched her wiped cheek, and said softly: "Your Highness, go, I will wait for you here."

Pu Yang nodded, looked at Zi Gong again, and then walked out of the hall slowly.

This month will be very busy.

The three Gu Ming ministers, Zheng Wang and the government may not know much more than Xiao Dewen, and he can't help much, but if it involves the clan, he is still very willing to contribute.

The prime minister is the busiest, he not only has to coordinate the overall situation, but also attends to the funeral.When the emperor passed away, there must be no sloppiness, and all matters will be done in accordance with the etiquette, and there is no room for mistakes.The prime minister was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, when he saw Puyang coming, he entrusted her with the affairs of the court: "Your Highness is familiar with these matters, let's take care of them, so that the court administration will not be neglected." Seeing her sad, he again He said, "My condolences, the late Emperor would not have wanted to see you like this."

Pu Yang burst into tears again when he heard the word Xiandi.This place is still the same as before, but overnight, this palace city has changed hands.The His Majesty mentioned by the crowd no longer refers to her father.The man she knew, loved and respected became the first emperor.

"I understand." Pu Yang said briefly.

The prime minister left with a sigh.

The things used by the late emperor in the Xuande Hall have not been cleared out and cannot be used for the time being, so the administrative office is temporarily moved to the Xuanzheng Hall.All the instruments of the play have been moved here.These are selected from below and need to be previewed by the emperor. The young emperor is young and can only be done by the assistant minister.

King Zheng held a book in his hand, and after reading it for a long time, he has not yet drawn up a comment.When Pu Yang came over, he really found a savior, he hurriedly said: "It's good that Qiniang came, these things give me a headache."

After Pu Yang saluted, Fang sat down behind a desk that was clearly placed for her.

King Zheng said again: "I heard that the grandson," he said here casually, then changed his words again, "it's His Majesty. I heard that His Majesty is still in the grave?"

"Yes." Pu Yang replied.She picked up a notebook, which was for disaster relief. In the past, she would deal with it vigorously. However, at this time, the black and white words were clearly reflected in her eyes, but she couldn't let her see them at all.

King Zheng didn't care about things, but he was not stupid, he was quite insightful in seeing things.Just before the death, the new emperor put forward two proposals. Although they were refuted, it shows that His Majesty has his own ideas.At his age, how many things have he seen and how many books have he read?Even the various departments of the imperial court may not be able to clearly explain what they are in charge of, and the proposed plan is naturally immature and unfeasible.But since he has the idea of ​​participating in politics, he will definitely put forward many opinions in the future.

I'm afraid it's not easy to be the auxiliary minister.

King Zheng wanted to discuss with Puyang what to do in the future, but seeing that Puyang was out of his mind, he had no choice but to swallow all his words.Thinking about the sudden collapse of the late emperor today, Puyang is a woman, and has a good relationship with the late emperor. I am afraid that he is not in the mood to discuss these things that are neither interesting nor wonderful.

Anyway, he was just taking a name, and he probably wouldn't have much to say about the affairs of the court in the future.King Zheng simply left it alone.He continued to lower his head, trying hard to understand the half-read memorial in his hand.

It's a pity that he roughly knows who the governor of a state is and who the chief officer of a department is, but he doesn't know anything about their abilities and relationships. It is really difficult to draw up a comment more difficult.

Until it got dark, King Zheng only wrote two words.

Dinner was prepared in the palace.

When the first emperor passed away, he was still in the period of filial piety, so the dinner was not rich, and it was all vegetarian.King Zheng heaved a sigh of relief and called Puyang to have dinner together.

Pu Yang put down his pen, turned his head to look at the pitch-black night outside, and politely declined: "The son-in-law is still ahead."

Only then did King Zheng remember what had happened, and said with a smile, "Then you go."

Pu Yang tried his best to smile, and after a salute, he walked out of the hall.

This whole day has been muddled.It is clear that when one wakes up in the morning, it is still peaceful and peaceful, but in the afternoon, the world is turned upside down.

Pu Yang has experienced her father's death once, she knows, and she has already prepared for it, when people get old, there will always be a day when they will die.But she never thought that the late emperor would die so suddenly, and he obviously still had nearly ten years to live.

Hearing the news for the first time, Puyang could hardly stand up.She rushed to the palace in a hurry, but only saw the dead body of the first emperor.In order to stabilize the situation, Axiu first invited her, the prime minister and King Zheng into the palace, and then showed them the late emperor's edict, and borrowed the prime minister's seal to seal off the gate of the palace to prevent people from making trouble.

She listened to the prime minister and Zheng Wang discussing how to stabilize the court and help the grandson to ascend the throne safely, but she didn't listen to anything, just thinking about how His Majesty could leave so suddenly without any warning.Her mind was full of His Majesty's kindness to her, she knew that Axiu was by her side, and she was worried about her, but she couldn't control herself.

She thought, with Axiu here, nothing will happen, so let her cry for His Majesty and do her last filial piety.But in the end, she couldn't cry.The grief and pain seemed to be pressed down in her heart by a big rock, and she burst into tears, but she felt that none of this seemed real.

The night was cold, with a northerly wind blowing.

Pu Yang walked through the front hall, she saw Wei Xiu waiting for her there.There was a cloak on her lap, seeing her appear, she came over with the wheelchair and handed the cloak to her: "It's cold, put it on first."

Pu Yang lowered his head and looked, the cloak was lightly pigmented, which was suitable for the filial piety period.

"Your Highness hasn't had dinner yet, are you in the palace or back home?" Wei Xiu asked.

Pu Yang frowned: "Shou Ling..."

"The vigil has been arranged." Wei Xiu sighed, "Tomorrow we have to get up early, and there are still many things for you to do, so let's go back first." His Highness is not in the right state, this is not acceptable.

After hearing her finish, Pu Yang nodded, trusting her completely.

Wei Xiu became more and more sad.

The drive is all ready.The whole world must observe filial piety for the late emperor, and the capital is especially strict. In a few days, the neighboring countries will send envoys to the capital of Wei to express their condolences.During this period of time, Beijing and China will be under martial law to prevent chaos and make other countries laugh.

There was no one on the street, and even the houses on both sides were pitch-black, and the candles were extinguished.

Wei Xiu looked at Puyang, but didn't know what to say.

The lanterns in front of the Princess Mansion have been replaced with white ones, and the candles in the mansion have been replaced with white candles, but all the colorful decorations have been removed. Wei Xiu feels that the Princess Mansion is even more mournful and solemn than the Imperial Palace.

Seeing Pu Yang, he was even more sad.Dinner was ready, but she could not eat any more after swallowing two bites hastily.

Wei Xiu didn't force her, and went back to the room with her.

"Axiu, did your Majesty leave any words?" Pu Yang asked.

Wei Xiu replied softly: "It happened so suddenly, Your Majesty didn't say anything."

This is expected, if there is anything, Axiu will tell her during the day.Even so, Pu Yang remained silent for a while.

Wei Xiu took her to the couch: "Go to bed early."

Pu Yang lay down, she looked at Wei Xiu, and said: "During this period of time, His Majesty has been well and has not suffered from any illness, why did it suddenly happen, Axiu, can you diagnose him?"

Her tone was very calm and she didn't cry, but it made Wei Xiu extremely sad.Sitting next to Pu Yang, she told her: "I haven't had time to see it yet, it's all my fault, I should see His Majesty as soon as I enter the palace."

Pu Yang smiled weakly, but tears flowed down uncontrollably: "It's not your fault, it's my fault. I didn't visit him often. He has written the will and appointed the minister of Tuo Gu. He must have noticed it, but I But I didn't see anything, I was unfilial..."

Wei Xiu hugged her, stroked her back, she wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't say a word, she was ashamed, for the princess, she was ashamed.

Pu Yang grabbed her skirt, as if he had found a hug that could make her weak.At first she just shed tears, but slowly, she cried aloud. A person who lost his father, no matter how old he is, has lost the most reliable backing in his life. From then on, she is an orphan.

There were successive sobs, as if the grief in his heart had finally been released, and Pu Yang couldn't help crying.

Wei Xiu raised her head, tears still fell from the corners of her eyes.She originally wanted to tell the princess that someone poisoned her and she forged the will.But now she felt that it was unnecessary. If the princess knew that the name of the auxiliary minister who allowed her to stand in the court was obtained by speculation through her father's death, she would not be happy.

What's more, she was also responsible for the emperor's death.She saw through what King Jin was doing, but she didn't stop or expose it, but let him go.

She can't stop it, she can't repay evil with kindness.

The emperor died, and a whole house of children and grandchildren wept for him.But what about her parents?Their corpses lay in the wilderness, and there was no one to collect them.

Wei Xiu patted Puyang lightly, grief and guilt mixed in her heart, blood surged in her chest, and her throat felt fishy and sweet.She hurriedly grabbed the handkerchief and pressed it to her lips, coughing.

The scarlet blood is particularly eye-catching on the plain silk.

She thought that there was no way for her to live with Qiniang for the rest of her life.Her health is not good, not to mention Qiniang would not like a person who condones others to kill her father.

Wei Xiu closed her eyes, full of hopelessness.But she thought again, Qiniang still needs her now.She hasn't seen her reign yet.

Wei Xiu gained motivation again, and coaxed Puyang gently: "Stop crying, stop crying..."

Pu Yang finally got tired of crying, she was in Wei Xiu's arms, and she didn't make a sound.

The candle was gradually burned out, and the dead branches outside the window were shaking. At some point, Pu Yang fell asleep in Wei Xiu's arms.

Wei Xiu looked down at her side face, she knew that this was just her temporary weakness, tomorrow, Qiniang would regain her former fortitude, stand in the hall, and move towards her goal step by step.

Hope tomorrow will be a sunny day.I hope that the people she loves will be blessed with warm sunshine for the rest of their lives.
