At dawn, the obituary notice of the Queen's death was also posted, and the team carrying the decree continued to travel throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.
The Ministry of Etiquette's note on funeral etiquette says: On the day of mourning, one should wear plain clothes and go to the Queen's Palace to express condolences. After the memorial ceremony is completed, the funeral is held. The East Palace, King Li, the imperial concubines, concubines, princesses, etc. all mourned in plain clothes, and after the laying ceremony was completed, they returned in order.
On the 19th, 20th, and 21st, on the third day, I dressed in plain clothes and went to the Queen's Palace to mourn, lay a memorial ceremony, and carry out the funeral...
The upper body wears mourning clothes, and everyone from the east palace to the lower level wears mourning clothes for sacrificial ceremonies. There is an altar for offering sacrifices, an altar for the East Palace, an altar for the Li Wang, and a total altar for the imperial concubines...
Today is the first day, no going to court, no bells and drums ringing.
Even the Tiansheng Palace is quiet, and all the servants coming and going are in plain clothes.
Today, Yang Zhan was wearing a purple robe official uniform and a three-beam official hat.
Perhaps it had not been worn for a long time and had been lost in storage. It was a bit infested by insects and the color was a bit dull.
At this moment, a group of people were kneeling outside Wende Hall.
Many of this group of people were high-ranking officials of the day, both civil and military.
However, when the eunuch announced Yang Zhan's arrival, almost everyone turned their heads and looked at Yang Zhan.
Although the robe is old and faded in color, when it is worn on Yang Zhan, it has a sense of historical vicissitudes.
However, the aura on Yang Zhan's body made this outfit bring out the aura of his shirt.
That resolute face and cold eyes.
The officials who looked back to explain couldn't help but look away, as if they were afraid of being seen by Yang Zhan.
At this time, Yang Zhan also heard it, in the Wende Hall.
Yang Wu was furious.
"Get away from me. How could Yang Zhan harm the queen? You, the high officials of the imperial court, really disappoint me. The rumors stop with the wise. Just treat it like I am begging you. I am begging you." I am deeply saddened by the loss of the queen, please get out!"
At this time, the eunuch came out and said: "My lords, please come back. Your Majesty hopes that you will not slander others just because of some rumors. Please come back, lords!"
The group stood up, but did not leave.
They all turned sideways and looked at Yang Zhan who was climbing up the stairs from the center of them.
The scene was silent, but full of solemnity, as if these people would surround and kill Yang Zhan at any time!
Yang Zhan didn't even look at these people, he opened the door directly and walked into the Hall of Wende.
At this time, the eunuch scolded: "My lords are still not leaving. Are we going to ask the inner guards to ask you to leave in a disgraceful way?"
Finally, these people left.
But everyone's face was extremely gloomy.
In the Hall of Wende.
Yang Wu, who seemed furious and heartbroken just now, was sitting calmly on the rocking chair.
I was a little surprised when I saw Yang Zhan come in. In the past three years, this was the first time I saw Yang Zhan dressed so formally.
Immediately, he saw the moth-eaten and wrinkled official robes.
Yang Wu said: "For shame, I will ask Supervisor Shang Yi to make a new one for you later."
"I need a new official robe?"
Yang Wu smiled: "You don't look happy?"
Yang Zhan looked around and saw a stool inside the desk.
Yang Zhan walked over and sat down directly.
Yang Wu glanced at Yang Zhan: "No matter how big or small!"
Without saying a word, Yang Zhan leaned on the chair and closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep.
Yang Wu didn't blame him, but smiled. It didn't look like his wife had died. Instead, he seemed to have married a dozen more wives!
However, Yang Wu was happy, but it was not because the queen was dead.
But when he saw Yang Zhan's depressed look, he became happy, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
This mood surprised Yang Wu. It was a bit like the unconcealable pride or high-spiritedness he felt when he sat on the throne for the first time.
After all, I finally saw this kid deflated!
Yang Wu laughed: "Unhappy? Haha, I have told you before, you are too young, I can't beat you in a battle, but in terms of means and people's hearts, I know better than you."
Yang Zhan closed his eyes and spoke slowly: "It's quite powerful. I have imagined two possibilities. One is that the Queen wants to take my back before she dies, and the second is that she uses the Queen's death to make me take the blame in a subtle way. , when you suppress the aristocratic family’s chess piece, or when you use it as a shield against the aristocratic family!”
"Now that you've thought of it, why go?"
Yang Zhan asked back: "Yes, then why should I go?"
This time, Yang Wu was stunned and seemed a little surprised.
Then, he frowned and said, "Why?"
Yang Zhan said calmly: "Guess."
Yang Wu glanced at Yang Zhan: "You left knowingly, didn't you do it just for the box?"
Yang Zhan opened his eyes and looked at Yang Wu: "You didn't expect this, right?"
"I really didn't expect it, or I was careless. So the Queen gave you the opportunity before?"
Yang Zhan said nothing.
Yang Wu looked unhappy: "Did you read it?"
"not yet!"
Yang Wu's brows widened: "Then hand it over and pretend that this never happened, and the Queen's affairs will have nothing to do with you."
"When you put it like that, I'm even more interested."
Yang Wu's face sank: "You brat, don't be so shameless."
Yang Zhan raised his eyebrows: "You are only allowed to plot against me, but you are not allowed to take advantage of me?"
"Tell me what you want!"
"I'll give you everything you want?"
"You want to be emperor?"
"Not interested in that!"
"It's okay if you're not interested. This is the only thing I can't give you!"
Yang Zhan said: "I want an imperial edict!"
"What imperial edict?"
"You can freely check all the files of the six departments, even Dali Temple, and even your daily notes!"
Yang Wu's old face was stunned: "What do you want to check? Do you want to check even me?"
"You don't care what I'm checking!"
"Impossible. There are so many files banned by the imperial court. They are all confidential. How can I let you see them at will?"
Yang Zhan sighed: "So, there is no deal?"
"It's a bullshit deal. Just take a look at what the queen gives you. Do you really think I care?"
"Okay, forget it if you don't care!"
"Ahem, I mean, it's okay for you to see it, don't show it to others!"
Yang Zhan glanced at Yang Wu: "It seems that there are a lot of shit behind the emperor's back!"
"presumptuous!"
Yang Wu had a serious face and was quite dignified.
But Yang Zhan glanced at Yang Wu lightly: "If you don't agree to my conditions, these things may come to light, but you are old and you probably don't care anymore. In this case, there is no need to talk, I'm leaving! "
Yang Zhan stood up.
Yang Wu said with a straight face: "Are you threatening me?"
"Yes, I'm threatening you!"
Yang Wu stared angrily.
Staring at Yang Zhan: "You're getting more and more outrageous!"
"When you plotted against me, didn't you expect that I would be presumptuous?"
"I didn't expect that I jumped into the pit and complained about me. You can't afford to lose!"
Yang Zhan rolled his eyes at Yang Wu: "It's not that I can't afford to lose. I can help you with things. I can be a shield for you. I want an imperial edict to check the files. Is there anything shameful that I can't check?"
Yang Wu had a dark face: "What exactly do you want to check? Tell me clearly!"
Yang Zhan's eyes became sharp: "Huangmiao Village!"
Yang Wu was a little surprised when he heard this, and then thought about it.
"You still want to check? Did King Wu tell you something?"
