Official You's Family in the Red Chamber

Chapter 53 The new emperor ascends the throne

The sage said "I have made up my mind" and brought the Longevity Festival to an end that he was quite satisfied with. As for how much the officials of the Ministry of Rites wanted to die, it was completely out of his consideration.

Everyone who walked out of the palace was in a daze, some even had pale faces, dull eyes, and bumped into people from time to time, but everyone didn't take offense to these people, but sympathized with them. Most of the official positions of such people belong to the Ministry of Rites.

Poor Ministry of Rites, this noble yamen, compared to other places, usually has little money and power. The only thing worthy of praise is that it is generally not a big deal. I can only sigh that I am unlucky to meet these officials of the Ministry of Rites. Today, a few years ago Canonize the deposed prince as Prince Yizhong, and have a grand burial. This time, he directly played the Zen seat in the open air.

Looking at the pitiful posture of these people in the Ministry of Rites, the officials of the Ministry of Industry who were trembling because of the floods in various places in the past two years, even though they were severely struck by a thunderbolt from the saint, they still feel inexplicably that today's sky is much bluer than before.

Glancing at the people in the Ministry of Rites wandering around like zombies, You Wende could hardly bear to look straight at him. Without him, his in-laws looked the worst. There was already a big bump on his forehead, and several wrinkles seemed to be added to his face in an instant. Thankfully It's because he didn't come to the "One Night Whitehead", otherwise the new emperor will definitely "remember" him.

You Wende walked forward without squinting, ignoring all sympathetic gazes, anyway, he was not looking at him, Jia Jing has been following him like a wandering soul, and on the other side of the wandering soul is Lord Youdu Yushi Qin, Jia Jing's Uncle.

"Hey, don't be so discouraged. Let's settle the post-conferment ceremony and the canonization of the prince first. There are precedents for this. Don't be too busy. You will always have time to sort out the etiquette of the Zen ceremony." Lord Qin said slowly Open your mouth.

"Thank you, brother, for your comfort, but, alas!" Jia Jing came back to his senses, although he was still talking about Lord Qin's words, his brows were still tightly furrowed.

"It's natural for Xiuwen to be upset about such a thing. Alas, it's a pity that this matter is related to good or bad etiquette, but I can't help you. Alas, I'd better leave quickly. Xiuwen should go to discuss with Lord Chen and Lord Han early. After all, this matter is not the sole authority of the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is really better to discuss the results early to save wasted time." You Wende shook his head and sighed.

"Hehe, what Zian said is very true." Master Qin blinked and agreed, but his tone was much more relaxed.

Jia Jing's footsteps paused for a moment, his brows relaxed, and he said, "Yes, if you are so respectful, let's take a step first."

Jia Jing arched his hands to the two, and left quickly. The two of You Wende looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile. At this time, the elder of the Liu family brought Master Liu and walked towards the two of You Wende. He said with concern: "Why is Xiuwen in such a hurry?"

"The saint's three wills are all related to the Ministry of Rites. How can Xiuwen not be in a hurry? Did you hurry to discuss with Han and Chen before you came out? Zi'an wanted to walk a few steps to accompany him out of the palace, but he didn't think he was I can't even wait for a while." Master Qin said with a smile.

This Mr. Liu is Master Qin's uncle, and also the grandfather of Jia Rong's wife, Liu Shi. Mr. Liu stroked his beard after hearing this, and sighed: "The salary of the eater is for the king to share the worries, so the writing is like this." It is also common sense to have a heart, and since ancient times, only those with high moral character and high prestige have this ceremony, and the sage is really a role model for us."

Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then they went home, each of them relieved a lot of their worries. They were all related to Jia Jing by marriage, so they naturally cared more about his affairs.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, abdication is rare in ancient and modern times. Whether it is a saint or the new emperor, it is impossible to be too harsh. Only people can worry about Jia Jing.

You Wende seemed to say something unintentionally, but it made everyone feel more at ease. Lord Chen and Lord Han are the heads of the Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In addition to the Ministry of Rites, the main force of these grand ceremonies, the Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also ran away. No, it would be a big deal if the Guangli Ministry backed it up, and it would be a big deal for Jia Jing, but if several ministries work together, as long as there are no major mistakes, Jia Jing will be fine, and everyone will be concerned about it. After all, these two places were hidden behind the Ministry of Rites in the past, but it was almost forgotten.

I don’t know how Jia Jing and the others discussed it. Anyway, it didn’t take long for the Qin Tianjian to calculate a series of auspicious days from near to far. As for which days to choose, it depends on the meaning of the saint. Otherwise, if the new emperor's life is not satisfied, they will never be able to eat and walk around.

You Wende didn't see Jia Jing again until the post-sealing ceremony. Although the pressure in his heart was reduced a lot, the white hair on Jia Jing's head still increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

To a certain extent, the current Zen Ceremony may be the first time in the true sense since ancient times. It is too difficult to find an example. According to the gossip that Mrs. Li dug back from You Qingyuan, Jia Jing was so busy that he even ate I read books all the time.

You Wende secretly guessed that Jia Jing had never worked so hard even during the imperial examination and when he was in the Imperial Academy.

Almost a month after the canonization of the crown prince, the abdication ceremony began. The new sage knelt in front of the old sage to listen to his teachings. Long live the mountain.

For a grand ceremony, silk and bamboo rituals and music, even the time, the position of the sun, the positions of the various ministers, and the costumes of everyone present have distinct requirements.

Youwende was wearing a heavy dress, standing under the sun, thinking bitterly in his heart that the Ministry of Rites must be based on the principle that suffering alone is worse than suffering together, and that if he is unlucky, he must drag everyone to suffer together.

Although the wives of all officials are miserable, the new and old saints are very satisfied. Originally, because of the sudden decrees, they thought that the few grand ceremonies would be very simple, but they did not expect them to be extremely grand.

Especially the Zen ceremony, the etiquette norms are integrated from the ancient rituals, the grandness is unusual, enough to set an example for later generations, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy kept singing their praises, the emperor’s abdication of this trip is comparable to the virtues of Yao and Shun The two saints were very happy. The old saint was naturally very happy to be flattered, and the new saint was also satisfied. The more solemn he was, the more orthodox he seemed. The sages are Yao and Shun, but at worst he must be Dayu or not.

After participating in several grand ceremonies in two months, You Wende felt that his knee was about to break down, but the new emperor had already ascended the throne. Will the new empress dowager ceremony be far behind?

You Qingyuan hasn't been able to eat well or sleep well in the past two months. The conferring ceremony, conferring the Empress Dowager, enfeoffing high-ranking concubines, etc. are all ordered to worship by married women, but she herself has nothing to do with it, as her daughter-in-law doesn't have any orders on her body. Worried, but her daughter is Mrs. Zhongsu Hou Shizi, who has a title.

Before the pregnancy is stable, I will pay my respects to one empress after another, but this time, no one dares to ask for leave. The new emperor is on the throne, and it is time to establish his majesty. It may be considered that there is not much awe of the new emperor, and this account may be charged to the entire family.

When You Qingyuan thought of her poor daughter, tears flowed down like beads with a broken string, causing the entire Ning'an Hou Mansion to worry enough.

After the new saint succeeds to the throne, he first respects his father as the Supreme Emperor, then promotes his mother who has just become a queen to be the Supreme Empress, and the rest of the Supreme Emperor's concubines are promoted to Taishang Empress, etc. Choose a day to perform the canonization ceremony, and then make all the thirteen princes of my brothers princes, and the rest as county kings and towns.

The brothers and sisters distributed a circle, and then the ministers also gave a lot of rewards. Among them, Jia Jing, who was the Minister of Rites, was given a lot of treasures.

The old sage was very satisfied with his son's behavior, and moved away very quickly, but it was easy for the old sage alone, but it was difficult for the concubines in the old sage's harem. Also live in the palace.

The new emperor is very filial and expresses that he has few concubines and gave up half of the harem to the concubines of the old saint. He walked around the palace where he was currently living, and gave up the main body of the harem to his son. He also expressed his father's love that his son had too few concubines, and when he settled down, he would choose a concubine for the new sage.

The grand play of fatherly kindness and filial piety was staged in the harem, and all the officials and wives were not idle. Greetings to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Sealing Ceremony, etc., etc., when everything settled down, the court was also peaceful, and You Wende was so tired of complaining secretly that he had no energy to make trouble .

After finally going through a lot of great etiquette, You Wende's good mood did not last for a few days, looking at Li Shi with red eyes, and thinking about You Qingyuan who was even more sad, You Wende was full of resentment but didn't know how to express it.

When Jia Ying survived countless pilgrimage and finally everything was over, when You Qingyuan secretly sighed for the blessing of the Buddha and copied the scriptures sincerely, when Princess Anyang silently recited Amitabha, and asked the imperial physician to stay and prepare to take care of the pregnancy , Jia Ying had a miscarriage.

Princess Anyang burst into tears, Jia Ying wailed loudly holding the little dress embroidered in advance, unable to be herself, Zhang Chenghong comforted his wife and mother with red eyes, Zhongsu Hou sighed but was careful not to let outsiders know about the family affairs.

When You Qingyuan heard the news, she almost fainted from crying, but after crying, she packed up her things and hurried to the Zhongsuhou Mansion. Looking at Jia Ying who was still sad, she didn't comfort her, but spoke harshly instead. Daughter, what the future wife of the Zhang family needs to do is to take good care of her body immediately, instead of worrying about being sad. Miscarriage will inevitably hurt her body. Whether it is for herself or others, Jia Ying must take care of her body immediately and give birth as soon as possible child.

You Qingyuan's heart would be broken when she saw her haggard daughter, but she was rational. She knew exactly what to do to her daughter's best benefit. Life is also ruined.

Jia Ying looked at her mother with red and swollen eyes, full of distressed but serious eyes, and gradually became dazed. The eldest daughter, the clan's wife, when she was a child, she thought that she must become a respected mistress like her mother. Now she is walking on the road. this way...

Because of Jia Ying's miscarriage, the Zhang family and Jia's family suddenly became depressed. After Mrs. Li went to see You Qingyuan and Jia Ying and started crying when she came back, this atmosphere spread to You's family.
