In the middle of October 29, Emperor Yongkang of Great Qi died, and the sound of the death knell sounded throughout the capital, and every government heard it clearly.
When the civil and military officials heard the sound of the death knell, they immediately wept bitterly.
"Your Majesty, you just left, leaving the old ministers and others, who can you talk to in the future" Dingguo Gong and other old ministers had a deep relationship with the emperor, and they almost cried back.
"Quick, pack my clothes, I want to enter the palace and see Your Majesty for the last time."
The old prince was sad, but insisted on going to the palace to mourn the emperor's spirit.
The people of the Guogong Mansion did not dare to stop it, so they hurriedly found the official uniform of the old Guogong and dressed it neatly, and then accompanied by Chen Shangshu and others, they came out of the Guogong Mansion all the way and went straight to the palace.
In the early morning of the end of October, before dawn, there were many pedestrians on the road, all carrying white lanterns, heading in the direction of the palace.
Needless to say, these are all ministers of the DPRK and China, who rushed to the palace when they heard the sound of the death knell.
Outside the palace, a cadre of civil and military ministers hurriedly came out of the various mansions and rushed to the palace, and in the palace, Shen Lingye, who had already regained his senses, joined forces with Qinghan and his wife to quickly control the entire palace.
Shen Lingye is the crown prince, and the emperor personally said the words of succession during the day, so Shen Lingye's succession to the throne is justified and no one can deny it.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Lingye immediately sounded the death knell after learning that the emperor had died.
In the past dynasties, most emperors have died, and they have not sounded the death knell so quickly, and they have to deal with the succession before the news of the emperor's death can be made public.
Of course, there is no suspense about Shen Lingye's succession, but the husband and wife are still worried that someone will take advantage of the chaos when the emperor died and the new emperor did not ascend the throne.
Therefore, under Qing Han's reminder, Shen Lingye quickly asked Yan Fei to take the token that the emperor gave to Qing Han at the beginning, mobilized the palace guards, strictly guarded the four gates of the palace and all parts of the palace, and no idle people were allowed to move around.
Stabilizing the palace, Yan Fei went out of the palace with the prince's edict and token, found Qin San, Huo Jingqi and others, and together with the Command Department of the Soldiers and Horses of the Capital and the Shuntian Mansion, immediately controlled the entire capital.
Before the new emperor ascended the throne, the stability of the situation was the most important, even if there were no other princes in the capital, they must not be careless.
Yan Fei, Qin San and the others quickly dispatched and took control of the entire capital city without any effort, and the situation was completely controlled by Shen Lingye.
And at this time, everything in the Qianyuan Hall was also prepared.
The emperor's coffin was parked on the main hall of the Qianyuan Palace, and all the red furnishings around it were taken away, and all the things that could not be moved were covered with white cloths, and the entire hall was plain white.
Shen Lingye and Qinghan and their husbands and wives all changed their filial piety clothes, kneeling in front of the coffin in plain white, crying sadly.
The palace attendants in the Qianyuan Hall were no exception, all of them were covered with plain white filial piety clothes outside their clothes, kneeling on the ground and crying silently.
Footsteps sounded one after another, and the ministers outside the palace entered the palace under the guidance of the guards and came to the outside of the Qianyuan Palace.
Countless officials dressed in silk walked in with tears on their faces, and then knelt down in front of the coffin and made a big salute.
"Your Majesty will go slowly, and the old ministers will come to see each other off."
After only a few words, he couldn't cry anymore.
Although Shen Lingye and Qinghan have noble statuses, they must also return the salute at this time, and only after everyone has finished saluting and the husband and wife have returned the salute, they will get up together.
"My lords, my father has been asleep since the end of the noon banquet, and although the palace attendants and imperial doctors have taken great care of him, he still passed away in his sleep at the beginning of the ugly time."
Shen Lingye stood in front of the ministers and said in a dumb voice.
"My father died, and I was sad and sanity.
Lonely and inexperienced, I really don't know what to do next, so I invite you to come to the palace and discuss together.
I also ask you to see the friendship with my father and the emperor for many years, and help me to make the funeral a success, thank you.
Shen Lingye bowed to everyone.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the successor to His Majesty's appointed, wise, wise and wise, even if he encounters such an emergency, he can deal with it easily, which shows that His Majesty is not mistaken.
Since we are Great Qi courtiers, it is our duty to assist His Royal Highness in handling the funeral, and we dare not shirk the slightest prevarication. ” Several old ministers saw Shen Lingye's humble and polite attitude, and they were very satisfied with Shen Lingye, and there was a lot of praise in their words.
"When Your Majesty was here, he had already ordered people to build mausoleums, and the funerals of the kings of the Great Qi Dynasty also had rules and regulations, and all this was handed over to the Ministry of Rites.
Your Majesty's funeral is important, but when the new monarch ascends the throne, it is even more urgent, and the country cannot be without a monarch for a day.
Now that the government affairs of the DPRK and China are busy, and His Royal Highness has to be the master of all affairs, it is better to ask His Royal Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible, so as to make the hearts of the people of the world feel at ease, and at the same time deter the small border countries and make them dare not make chaos. ” Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the time of the emperor's funeral is not short, most of them are suspended for 7749 days, and then they are buried.
For such a long time, if there is no one in charge of the DPRK and China, it will naturally not work.
Since the emperor has already decided on his successor before his death, of course, it is necessary to support the new monarch to ascend the throne as soon as possible in order to stabilize the court and stabilize the people's hearts.
When the emperor was there, Shen Lingye was already in charge of the government, and the courtiers were very convinced of Shen Lingye, and there was no doubt that Shen Lingye would succeed to the throne, so naturally the sooner the better.
For generations, the funeral of the old emperor was carried out on one side, and the new emperor ascended the throne on the other side.
Especially now, the earthquake in Hanzhong is serious, and it is the most critical moment.
The funeral must be done well, and the people affected by the disaster must not be ignored, and both sides will do their own thing, and neither of them can be delayed.
"My father died suddenly, and my mind was in turmoil, and I really couldn't think of what to do.
Since you Aiqing said so, Na Gu immediately ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a day and choose a good day and an auspicious day to ascend the throne.

I also hope that you will be able to do your best to do things on errands and assist Gu wholeheartedly in the friendship between your father and your monarchs and ministers, and you will be grateful. ” Shen Lingye's attitude has always been humble and polite, and he is very respectful to the ministers, which makes everyone feel that there is no gap in their hearts, but on the contrary, their good impression of Shen Lingye has increased a little.
"We will do our best to assist His Highness, and I hope His Highness will ascend the throne as soon as possible and take charge of the court."
The ministers knelt down one after another and said in unison.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up, please get up, thank you for your love.
Although Lone is not talented, since his father trusts him and all the adults support him, this throne can only be next, and Lone will definitely focus on the people of the country and be a diligent monarch who loves the people. ” The throne originally belonged to Shen Lingye, and he didn't need to pretend to shirk it at all, so Shen Lingye didn't make those vain things, but accepted all this frankly.
"There are many things at the moment, the Hanzhong earthquake has not been properly handled, and my father has died, so I have to guard in front of my father's spirit, I am afraid that it is too late to deal with the government.
From now on, the six Shangshu and Lone live together in the Qianyuan Palace, and all the government affairs are handled in the Qianyuan Palace.
The six servants entered the palace during the day to assist in handling government affairs, and I hope that all the adults can help each other in the same boat and tide over the difficulties in front of them. ”:
