Chapter 2306 Light Gate Lintel 106
This idea was quickly defeated by the facts.
Liu Shangshu was surprised to find that the little miracle doctor did not need help at all, let alone teach him. He picked up the excerpts and read them one by one. After reading them, he quickly wrote a reply in blue script. And the approval was written very well, as if I had been immersed in the palace for many years. Even if he writes, he may not be able to review it so well and quickly. After all, there will be obstacles and worries when it involves government affairs.
Someone in the palace has already tried to secretly spread the news, presumably to inform the outside world about what happened here.
Sure enough, not long after, several officials came running in condolence clothes. The leader turned out to be Mr. Cao Ge, a bachelor of Wenchang Pavilion.
Liu Shangshu secretly cursed this old fox. Although the official position is the same, Shangshu cannot suppress Ge Lao, who has more real power.
"I was not in good health last night. Please rest at home. I didn't expect it to be like this. When I heard the bad news, I was so sad that I fell to the ground on the spot. I just came here after enduring my grief and condoling the late emperor." Cao Ge bowed. : "Excuse me for being late."
He probably got the news and didn't want to get into trouble this time, so he reported being sick at home. Zhao Kang must have called him to come and help, but if someone wanted to express condolences to the late emperor, he couldn't rush to work without letting others pay their respects. Someone just let out the news. When they heard the news here, they ran over to see the truth with their own eyes.
These officials should all be from the three provinces. If they are not present, they will approve all the documents, which does not prove that they are useless. If you don't show off anymore, you will be in trouble until the new emperor takes the throne.
"My condolences to Cao Ge, everything is based on the overall situation." Xining wrote quickly without raising his head, and his childish but majestic voice sounded in the hall: "What about other people, the same is true?"
Liu Shangshu was surprised and amused. What surprised him was that the little miracle doctor could understand these twists and turns at a glance, and he actually had the power of an emperor at such a young age.
What’s funny is asking others if this is the case too? Cao Ge is old, and the others are basically in their prime. Even if he excuses himself and asks for leave to stay home, who will get the news this morning and be unable to get up, and go to express condolences late at night. The condolences have just been completed.
Others were very embarrassed, but they still responded shamelessly: "Yes, yes... I was heartbroken when I heard the bad news. I was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to come back to my senses..."
Don't tell me, you are a scholar after all, and you can tell lies as if they are true, so you can't find anything wrong.
"In that case, let's follow the steps."
Everyone looked at the people around the table and went to their colleagues in their departments.
Mr. Cao Ge saw an official go to the case table to move the approved folding papers, and then distribute the folding papers to the hands of various ministries for review. So I stopped, took a book and opened it to read. I couldn't help but frown, wondering where this little miracle doctor came from.
"Mr. Cao Ge, is there anything wrong?" Liu Shangshu squinted his eyes and puffed out his stomach, feeling a little proud that he finally stood in line earlier than this old guy.
There's nothing wrong with it, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Everyone has to wonder whether this little girl gave the instructions, whether these were the results of other officials' deliberation before he came.
"Get this done as soon as possible!" He saw Xining raising his hand, placing the newly written booklet next to him, then picking up another one and opening it to read.
Mr. Cao Ge ran over quickly, picked up the booklet from the dragon case, opened it and looked at it.
It is written that the Ministry of Rites is the main one, with the Si Tianjian as the assistant, and each ministry assists in handling many matters such as etiquette and sacrifices, foreign missions coming to worship and so on. Within four days, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment discussed the etiquette and specifications for the funeral of the eldest prince and King Duan.
After the death of the emperor, it took seven months for him to be buried. The first three days of condolences were the most important, followed by the seventh, fourteenth, and twenty-first days. Every seventh day, condolences and sacrifices were held until the end of the forty-nine days. After seven days in the mourning hall, the coffin must be moved to another place to wait for the funeral.
Such complicated things are all written in an orderly manner. The first sentence is "The emperor will be buried on the seventh day and buried in the seventh month. The princes will be buried on the fifth day and buried in the fifth month." This shows that the little miracle doctor knows the etiquette well and cannot be fooled.
Mr. Cao Ge felt guilty, handed the fold to the official working next to him, and said: "Hurry up and do it."
Seeing the little miracle doctor who was still reviewing the memorial, Mr. Cao Ge didn't dare to neglect anymore and sat aside to wait quietly.
Liu Shangshu, who had already sat down, glanced at Mr. Cao Ge after reading the excerpt just now, touched his beard, and felt a little proud in his heart. At this time, Ye Ying ran in from outside and bowed: "Little miracle doctor, someone mentioned the late emperor's edict and ordered someone to find it." All the officials in the palace immediately became excited. The first major event that affected the situation had come!
If there is a posthumous edict, the prince in the posthumous edict will succeed to the throne. Before today, the person who could succeed to the throne was most likely the eldest prince.
The eldest prince died together last night, so there is the possibility of debate over the throne. Father will eventually succeed to his son, but the eldest prince has a son, so he is still a direct descendant. Although the princess is the legitimate daughter of the Qingliu family, her uncle is the Privy Council envoy and holds the real power of the military.
The Queen Mother's family and the Princess's mother's family will definitely use this to support the eldest prince's son to ascend to the throne, and the eleven-year-old boy will be better controlled.
Xining finally put down his pen and waved to Ye Ying: "Come on, come on!"
Ye Ying was stunned for a moment, but soon understood the meaning and walked over. Seeing Xi Ning turn around, he walked around the table and came to her.
Xining lowered his voice and muttered to Ye Ying, who was bent over and put his ear to the ear for a while. Ye Ying nodded and immediately flew away.
Xining picked up the pen again: "You guys should go and take a look, as long as the palace servants will serve you here for the time being."
Mr. Cao Ge immediately stood up and walked quickly outside.
Liu Shangshu stared at him. This guy was either sick at home or in grief. Look at the rapid pace. He was a man of seventy and eighty years of age who was tougher than him. No, he has to go take a look too.
By the time a group of people arrived at the mourning hall, the atmosphere there was already very tense. All the condolence officials were thinking about whether to support the great emperor or the king. Moreover, there were many people, and the emperor, empress, and two princes died on the same day. However, it was such a big event that officials from the capital had to be present to express their condolences.
When civil servants quarreled too much, they would roll up their sleeves and start a fight. For this reason, Zhao Kang called a group of people, who were waiting around without weapons, while those below the fourth rank retreated to the outer courtyard to wait.
"The edict has arrived!" Ye Ying walked in holding a scroll high.
Everyone knelt down with a roar, and the paper scroll was slowly opened. When everyone looked up, they saw the three characters "Xuanhumen".
Zhao Kang was also stunned, what's going on? He asked Ye Ying to run to Xi Ning to find a solution, but he got the three big characters written by the late emperor last night.
"What does this mean?" An official suddenly jumped up and asked angrily: "Are you making fun of me?"
The eunuch serving the late emperor beside him said sadly: "This is what the Holy One wrote at the banquet last night, and it was awarded to the little miracle doctor." Now the words are still there, but the person has gone.
It was a calligraphy treasure left by the late emperor. The official could only kneel down again, but he was still extremely dissatisfied: "What we want is a testament. What kind of legacy is this!"
"Come closer and take a closer look!" Ye Ying always had a cold face.
So someone with a higher official position knelt and crawled over and looked at it carefully.
Cao Ge Lao and Liu Shangshu, whose official positions were not low, and who belonged to the second and middle dynasties and were rushing to the third dynasty, also looked closely.
After searching around, I finally found a vertical line of small characters next to the emperor's jade seal. The characters were as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, so small that you had to stare hard to see them clearly... "As if by accident, I am located in Zhao Kang."
Uh, this, this, this...
