Raise an emperor as a villain

Although Prince Rui's Mansion is dilapidated and desolate, but fortunately, where the foundation is, the airs are also big, and it looks quite tidied up.After Ming Jue went, he replaced the door plaque of King Su's Mansion, cleaned it roughly, and hurriedly led people in.

On that day, Emperor Rui's imperial decree came down to King Su's mansion, asking Ming Jue to cooperate with the Ministry of Rites to handle the funeral of Emperor Ying.

According to regulations, the formulation of the emperor's funeral ceremony must first be based on the will, and the Ministry of Rites, together with the cabinet or officials of the Imperial Academy, must discuss it and submit the "Daxing Emperor's Funeral Ritual Notes" to the successor emperor.

But Emperor Ying's situation is special, Emperor Rui is lingering on the sick bed at the moment, naturally he has no time to take care of it, not to mention Emperor Rui himself doesn't want to care about these things.Coupled with the fact that Prince Qing was in power, he only wanted to please Emperor Rui, so naturally he didn't care about it, so the ceremony was kept simple and handed over to the Ministry of Rites.

Emperor Ying's status was embarrassing, in order not to hurt Emperor Rui's eyes, the Ministry of Rites frugal about funerals, small burials, big burials and many other matters, and skipped directly to the posthumous posthumous link.The etiquette of posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles is also extremely complicated. Originally, civil and military ministers should gather together to draft the "Shangzun Discussion Document".Then, the Emperor Si would perform a sacrificial ceremony and place the treasure in Jiyan Hall.

But Emperor Rui prepared the posthumous name with the Ministry of Rites long before Mingjue returned to Beijing, and finished writing the posthumous title, now Mingjue only needs to proceed to the next step.

Although Ming Jue was dissatisfied with Emperor Rui's hasty attitude, but at the moment when it was not headstrong, he had no choice but to hold back.

Although Ming Jue went to the palace every day, he never had a chance to see the Queen Mother.When the queen mother got the news that the British emperor had "died of illness", she was overly sad, saying that she would never go out of the palace because of illness, and even avoided the funeral of the British emperor.

Therefore, only Ming Jue, Ming Lang, Empress Zhou and other officials from the Ministry of Rites were guarding the coffin.Ming Jue and officials from the Ministry of Rites were naturally the first to arrive.

The mourning hall was set up in the Qin'an Hall, and white curtains were hung everywhere, and plain flower curtains were tied, and the palace officials and officials who came and went were also dressed in mourning clothes.Ming Jue, headed by him, knelt on the mat directly in front of the coffin, and the officials behind him knelt in order of rank.

Ming Jue didn't feel much grief in his heart, but there was no lack of etiquette at all. During the vigil, if he didn't drink water and rice, he continued to hold on, which made all the ministers who had never seen such a tough prince really admire.

On the second day, Empress Zhou brought her precious son Ming Lang together.

Empress Zhou was dressed in plain clothes, with only a plain silver hairpin on her head, her eye circles were red from crying, and her description was very pitiful.

When Emperor Ying was captured and Emperor Rui succeeded to the throne, Emperor Ying's harem was disbanded.Those without heirs went to the Taimiao, those who gave birth to heirs stayed in the palace, and the children all went to the fief after they reached adulthood, and there was no time to rush back when the incident happened suddenly, so among the concubines, only Queen Zhou was there.

The fourth prince Ming Lang is sixteen years old today, being protected by Empress Zhou with all his strength, he has not suffered any hardships, he doesn't remember himself as the emperor father, so he is not very sad, he just stays with Empress Zhou.

"Mother's queen." Seeing Queen Zhou approaching, Ming Jue quickly turned around and bowed to his unfamiliar mother.

"Empress!" All the officials followed suit.

Empress Zhou glanced at Ming Jue, indifferently asked everyone not to be too polite, and then pulled Ming Lang to kneel in front of Emperor Ying's spirit.

Ming Lang was still young, so he was very curious about such an elder brother whom he had only seen a few times, especially after hearing about Ming Jue's deeds of repelling the enemy at the northern border, he yearned for him even more.

Seeing this time, even though it was too late to talk, he couldn't help secretly looking at Mingjue across Queen Zhou.Ming Jue felt a fiery gaze shooting at him, but he ignored it, but he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

He has been lonely all his life, and his relatives are weak, but now he can barely be regarded as a family reunion.In front of him was the coffin of his father, with his mother and younger brother kneeling beside him. In such a situation, even Ming Jue would inevitably be shaken.

At noon, Empress Zhou couldn't hold it any longer, she became dizzy and almost fell down.Ming Jue quickly supported Queen Zhou, but Queen Zhou quickly moved away as if she had bumped into something frightening.

"Come on, the queen mother is not feeling well, send her back to the palace!" Ming Jue stood up and called out to avoid embarrassment.

Ming Lang, who didn't know why, helped Empress Zhou to get up, and was suspicious of his mother's attitude. "The queen mother doesn't seem to like my brother all the time, why is that?"

Pei Xin listened to Ming Jue's call and came to help Empress Zhou, but Empress Zhou refused to hand her hand, she still held Ming Lang's hand tightly and said to Ming Jue: "Let Lang'er take me back !"

Seeing this, Ming Jue nodded in agreement. He was very happy to see his stepmother and brother, but he didn't dare to show it because of the occasion.But Queen Zhou's indifferent attitude made him feel chilling again.

Ming Lang left Qin'an Hall, couldn't help but ask Empress Zhou: "Empress Mother, why don't you like Brother Su Wang?"

Empress Zhou froze when she heard the words, looked around for a while before warning: "I don't dislike him, it's because you are overthinking. But you, Brother Su, are very busy today, so don't bother him with his work, you know Yet?"

Ming Lang didn't reply immediately when he heard the words, although he was not that alert, he could clearly feel his mother's disgust towards Brother Su, why did his mother deny it so firmly?

"Queen, I'm not a child anymore, and I won't cause trouble for Brother Su. My father is going to be mourned, and I also want to help out!" Ming Lang retorted. The Queen also treated him like a child.

"I told you not to go." Queen Zhou reiterated sternly.

"Yes!" Ming Lang lowered his head, peeped at Empress Zhou's gloomy face, and obediently agreed.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry with His Highness, His Highness will understand your painstaking efforts in the future." Pei Xin comforted Empress Zhou.

Empress Zhou nodded, and Pei Xin helped her to leave.

Ming Lang stood on the spot, thoughtful as if everyone knew something he didn't know, but they all kept silent.And as long as it involves the matter of Brother Su, the queen mother's attitude is always very subtle.It is said that Yunyan, the court lady who was fined out of Jinghe Palace a few days ago, also made the queen mother angry because she mentioned brother Su Wang.This feeling of being underestimated and concealed is very bad, Ming Lang intends to figure out the reason himself.

Ming Jue had been busy in the palace for a few days, but because of Empress Zhou's indifference, she didn't stay in Qin'an Palace today, but chose to return to Prince Rui's Mansion at night.

What Ming Jue didn't expect was that there was a huge surprise waiting for him in the mansion.
