Chapter 170 (1/2)
The capital was shaken by the death of the queen.
The emperor led all the officials to Weiyang palace, and the concubines of the Imperial Palace all rushed over.
Gu Jiu is sitting in the wing room, but the door is not out. I heard all kinds of noise outside.
Green plum finally stopped crying.
She wiped away her tears and said, ”the maid knows that the Queen's wife has passed away, but she doesn't see her coming back. I'm really scared to death. I'm afraid there will be something wrong with the girl. ”
Gu Jiu smiles and wipes tears for green plum, ”I'm not afraid. I'm not back. Look at me. I'm fine. I'm fine. ”
Green plum looked at Gu Jiu eagerly, ”girl, have you been wronged? Did the empress and the young warden of that side be in trouble with the girl? ”
Gu Jiu hid the finger print on his wrist, hidden in his sleeve, ”no, don't think about it.”
Some things, she alone to bear enough.
What's more, what happened in the bedroom is not suitable to tell Qingmei.
But she could say something about mother Ping.
”Green plum, do you still remember mother Ping beside your wife?”
”I remember. Why did the girl mention her all of a sudden
Gu Jiu pretended to be casual and asked, ”do you know where she works now?”
Qingmei thought carefully, ”I heard that mammy Ping was driven out by his wife. I don't know if it's true. The maidservant also listened to this
Gu Jiu suddenly realized.
It turned out that mother Ping had been driven out by Xie.
She said, where did Xie's courage come from? She even didn't want her life. She even dared to send mother Ping to tell the public about the scandal she had done.
Did she not know that these scandals were shameful.
It seems that after mother Ping left home, she should have gone to Xie's.
Only when the Xie family does these things can they have no scruples.
When Xie Xian climbed to Tianmen temple, his intention was not right. What's the matter if he said it? It's no big deal to sacrifice a Xie Xian.
Thanks to the family tradition, as long as there are enough big interests, die a person, no one will care.
However, there is one thing Gu Jiu has not been able to think about. How can Fang Shaojian not find Xie Xianlai to confront her.
Xie Xian, after all, is the party, and her words are more credible than that of mother Ping.
Or did Xie Xian have an accident and couldn't get to the palace?
There is too little information for Gu Jiu to make an accurate guess.
There's a knock at the door.
Green plum opens the door.
Palace people standing outside, ”please go to the spirit hall to cry.”
Green plum a purse to send to the past, quietly asked: ”so quickly, the funeral hall is ready?”
After receiving the purse, the palace man was still in a low brow and pleasing to the eye, and said, ”the funeral hall has been arranged. Ladies and gentlemen are entering the palace one after another. Please hurry up, Miss Gu. Don't waste your time. ”
Gu Jiu stood up and said, ”I'm going.”
She took green plum out of the side hall, and saw Wei San girl, and other girls.
Everyone was told to go to the spirit hall to cry.
Gu Jiu came to Wei San girl, ”Wei San elder sister.”
”Sister Jiu, are you ok? Your servant girl was scared to cry before, and I was worried too much. I'm relieved to see you safe and sound. ”
”Thank you for your concern. I'm ok. We are going to cry. Can we go out of the palace today? ”
Miss Wei San whispered, ”we are not Gao Ming, we are just in the palace. You should be out of the palace if you cry today. But it's hard for you to ask for your orders. You have to stay in the palace for at least 14 days and go to the spirit hall to cry every day. If you are in good health, you can bear it. If you are not, you can't endure it. ”
Gu Jiu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he began to worry about the old lady Wei.
The old lady Wei is a super quality lady, and she will definitely cry in the palace. Can she stand her age? But don't make an accident.
Gu Jiu follows everyone to Liangyi hall.
The spirit hall is arranged in the Liangyi hall.
There is already a royal relative's wife kneeling in the mourning hall.
Gu Jiu follows the guide of the maiden and kneels in the side hall of the spirit hall.
Miss Wei San whispered to Gu Jiu: ”I heard that the empress hasn't been buried yet. His majesty, his royal highness, his royal highness, his concubines and concubines, and all the officials of the imperial court are still in Weiyang palace. ”
Gu Jiu noticed that a coffin was missing from the main hall of the funeral hall.
Gu Jiu said, ”when will the empress be buried?”
Wei San shook her head, ”I don't know. It depends on the situation of Weiyang palace. If someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, we will not be able to leave the palace today. ”
Gu Jiu's heart is pounding.
At this moment, her most desired thing was to get out of the palace, leave this cannibal place, and never enter the palace again.
If you can't get out of the palace today, who knows what accidents will happen after one night.
When the empress's mother died, all kinds of careerists went out one after another. Any accident could happen at this time.Gu Jiu is not afraid of anything else, just afraid of being angry.
Regardless of whether the emperor has feelings for the queen, the emperor will definitely take the opportunity to solve several people and vent his anger.
I'm afraid all the doctors are in danger.
When Gu Jiu is thinking wildly, a storm is brewing in Weiyang palace.
In Weiyang palace, the people in the palace have already put on the shroud for the empress and dressed up for the funeral.
Kaiyao emperor sat on a chair, his face like frost.
The prince's highness was so heartbroken that he quietly asked for the funeral of the empress.
”My mother has worked hard all her life, and her last days are extremely painful. Many times, the son minister saw with his own eyes the pain of his mother to cry out. The father and his son's ministers hope to hold a funeral for his mother. Please allow me
Kaiyao emperor did not comment.
Everyone else was silent.
The Minister of Hubu hesitated for a moment and stood out, ”Your Majesty, I dare to ask, how much money do you need to prepare for the funeral for the empress?”
The prince's highness glared and asked the Minister of the Ministry of finance, ”Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this? Do you still need to care about money when you do funeral for your mother? Ridiculous
Hubu Shangshu's eyelids raised, ”the prince's highness is not in charge, I don't know how expensive firewood is. This year's various taxes have been arranged as early as the end of last year, and the Treasury has no surplus money. Unless your highness and the princes are willing to give up this year's title or postpone it to next year, then the Ministry of housing will find a way to replace his highness and princes. ”
”Ridiculous!”
The king of Zhao yelled at the Minister of Hubu, ”do you want us to drink from the north and the west? You know, we have a large family, hundreds of people, all depend on the rank of nobility. If you don't have the title of Lord Chen, you will have a good time at your house. ”
Mr. Chen, the Secretary of the Ministry of household, did not move his eyebrows and eyes. He said, ”even if the king of Zhao comes to our official's house to play autumn wind, he has no food to eat. The court still owes me two months' salary, but I haven't paid it for the new year. ”
”You...”
The king of Zhao pointed to the Minister of Hubu, and he was simply outrageous.
The prince's highness is a bit at a loss, ”is the Treasury really unable to take out a cent?”
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance said, ”the Treasury has only 200000 taels of surplus, so we have to settle the salary of Beijing officials first. I'm afraid it's not enough. The rest of the money has already been arranged and cannot be misappropriated. ”
The prince's highness watched kaiyao emperor eagerly.
If the Treasury has no money, it can only count on the Shao Fu.
Shaofu is rich, but it is the private treasury of the emperor. Only when the emperor nods, the young master will take out the money.
”Father and emperor, the mother has worked hard all her life. Her funeral should not be perfunctory. People all over the world are watching. How can we say that the funeral of our mother is so hasty. ”
The prince's highness implored the son of heaven, and he had to cry.
If he had not remembered in his heart that he could not be too weak in front of the emperor, he would have cried bitterly, and it was not worth his mother's sake.
Kaiyao emperor said in a deep voice: ”the Queen's funeral should not be hasty. Since the Treasury is empty, the cost of funeral should be borne by the Shao Fu. Where is the order of the young master? ”
”Wei Chen is here.”
The order of the Shao Fu came out of the crowd.
Kaiyao said in a heavy tone, ”I am so sad to lose the queen. Queen's funeral should be grand. As soon as it is necessary, the young master should not shirk his responsibility. If anyone disrespects the queen, report it to me immediately. ”
”Wei Chen obeys orders.”
”Anything else?” Kaiyao was staring at his royal highness.
The prince's highness was very afraid. He lowered his head and said, ”the son minister thanks the father for his mother.”
Hum!
Kaiyao emperor snorted coldly, ”I do the funeral for the queen. Why do you need to thank me. Take good care of your mother's filial piety. ”
