My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 1248

Dalong's ancestral bell rang nine times in a row.

The sound of the bell resounded inside and outside the capital, countless officials and common people looked towards the direction of the bell tower of the palace in astonishment.

After a short period of stupefaction, everyone realized what had happened. Although most of the people were illiterate, it didn't mean they didn't know the rules handed down from generation to generation.

Their emperor is dead.

Many people put down their words and work, and looked at the direction of the palace with sore eyes, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Over the years, Li Zheng has been implementing benevolent government not just in words, but in practice.

The people's increasingly prosperous life is the best proof.

The appearance of the stove has made it possible for poor people to spend the harsh winter warmly in their homes.

The establishment of the mutual market allowed the common people to have more or less silver deposits in their hands, and then the opening of the Western Regions and the flourishing of voyages to the Western Regions changed the lives of the common people day by day.

Although they are not the biggest beneficiaries compared to the wealthy businessmen and tyrants, compared to the days when there is no food, the common people have enough to cherish this hard-won, never-before-seen rich life.

The popularity of sweet potatoes has allowed people to have surplus food in their families, and they no longer have to live a life of worrying about the next meal.

I don't know how many people are free from the pain of fasting.

According to the census of the Ministry of Household Affairs, in just two years, the population of Dalong's state capital increased by 2000 million.

This is all thanks to the sweet potatoes.

There is no need to worry about being hungry, and having children has become the most interesting thing for the people.

After all, the common people now believe that only when the population is prosperous can the family prosper.

And this kind of life was given to them by the emperor.

Therefore, all the people who heard the bell, without organization, led their families to prepare the white silk and rushed towards the palace.

The people in the counties and counties outside the capital also hurried towards the capital with their waists wearing white silk.

The emperor died, and they wanted to send their emperor on a grand trip.

As Li Zheng taught the prince, the people have a steelyard in their hearts, and everything must be based on the people.

They all know who treats them well.

If the people are so angry that they dare not speak out, the world of Dalong will not be long.

Liu Mingzhi accompanied the returning queen, concubines, prince, and princess to attend to Li Zheng's funeral.

After all, the emperor passed away, no matter how simple everything is, things are much more complicated than ordinary people.

Liu Mingzhi looked at the third princess who couldn't stop crying, and gently hugged the third princess to comfort her.

"Yan'er, my condolences have changed. Father didn't leave us, he just went to the sky to watch us!"

"Father has a spirit in heaven, and I don't want to see you suffer so much."

The third princess choked up even more when she heard her husband's comfort, tears directly wet the clothes on Liu Mingzhi's chest.

Father passed away, how can it be so easy to let go.

"Report, His Royal Highness, countless people are rushing towards the capital, towards the palace."

"There are more than [-] people!"

Li Baiyu, who was discussing with his mother Nangong Meng how to properly arrange Li Zheng's funeral, was stunned: "What's going on? Hundreds of thousands of people have flooded into the capital. Could it be that something major has happened outside the city?"

Nangong Mengyayun, who was already deeply saddened, also paled with panic on her face.

"Yu'er, what is going on, the common people rioted? But there is nothing that can make them riot!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor!"

"Long live my emperor."

"Respectfully send my emperor on a grand trip!"

"Respectfully send my emperor on a grand trip!"

"Respectfully send my emperor on a grand trip!"

Panicked and puzzled, Li Baiyu and the others suddenly heard the shocking and continuous shouts from outside the palace, soaring straight into the sky, piercing the clouds.

This shout is more vigorous, more powerful, and more tragic than the nine bells.

Liu Mingzhi let go of the third princess and walked towards Li Baiyu.

"Empress mother, eldest brother, listening to the voice and words, it may be that the people in the capital rushed outside the palace spontaneously to see the father off."

"The imperial guards guarding the city must have known their intentions, so they didn't beat the drum to pass the message!"

Sure enough, as soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Jia Zhengjing, one of the commanders of the imperial guards, rushed over.

"Report to the Empress, and to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, tens of thousands of people with their waists tied to the waist spontaneously came to the city to see off His Majesty."

Li Baiyu heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Mingzhi who was at the side: "Brother-in-law, hurry up and go to the gate of the city with Brother Wei. There are so many people gathered together, don't let any trampling happen!"

Liu Mingzhi also understood that this matter should not be sloppy, he nodded and apologized to Nangong Meng, and hurriedly followed Li Baiyu towards the city wall of the palace.

Li Bohong and his brothers hesitated for a moment, talked to Nangong Meng and rushed towards the city gate.

After half a stick of incense, Liu Mingzhi and Li Baiyu boarded the city wall of the imperial palace and looked out of the city.

I saw the main road outside the palace, the auxiliary road, and the people's alleys were all kneeling full of common people.

The common people wore white silk around their waists, and looked towards the palace full of grief.

Liu Mingzhi looked at the tens of thousands of people in shock, maybe this is the so-called world under heaven in the history books.

The speech officer who followed tremblingly described the scene outside the palace.

Your Majesty has made a great trip, and the people of the world are all plain, and send you off to Your Majesty respectfully.

Liu Mingzhi looked up at the snowy sky: "Father, you saw it!"

"Whether you are a wise king or not, it doesn't matter what anyone says, only what the people say."

"They comfort your spirit in heaven with real actions."

"You are a rare and prosperous Mingjun in the world."

"I think you must be laughing happily in the sky, and you can't close your mouth from ear to ear."

Li Baihong and others who came after him also looked at the people outside the city in shock. Only now did they understand that their father, who they always thought was partial, was so loved by the people.

As a king, I should have no regrets in my life.

Liu Mingzhi let out a breath slowly, and touched Li Baiyu who was still a little dazed beside Ping with his arm.

"Brother, don't be stunned, it's time to say something."

Li Baiyu came back to his senses, looked at Liu Mingzhi a little at a loss: "What should I say?"

"Let the common people disperse, thank them for their great love for the father!"

"Okay, okay, let me think about it!"

After a long time, Li Baiyu took a deep breath and bowed to the people outside the city.

"The crown prince of this palace, Li Baiyu, would like to thank you all for coming all the way to see off the royal father on his great trip."

"Father is on a grand tour, and there are many things to do."

"Fathers and folks, please retreat for the time being, and focus on state affairs."

"Li Baiyu begged my father and my fellow countrymen, your father and emperor will perceive your thoughts in heaven, so go away!"

The dozen or so eunuchs who followed behind repeated the words in sharp words.

"Respectfully send my emperor on a grand trip!"

After tens of thousands of people passed word of mouth, they dispersed out of the city in an orderly manner with a final shout.

Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: "To put it bluntly, the reason why our Dalong Dynasty can stand still is not only because of the strength of the soldiers, but also because of the unity of the people."

"Brother-in-law, let's go back first, and we will see all the civil and military officials tomorrow morning."

"Father's temple name, the date of the coffin, and the small mortuary must be very busy."

"You are one of the auxiliary ministers appointed by the emperor, and you will discuss matters above the court with the other four ministers first. This palace discusses the affairs of the inner palace with the queen mother, the empresses, and the clan's mansion. .”

"Let's cooperate internally and externally and try to finish things as early as possible."

Liu Mingzhi nodded silently: "Okay, little brother will go right away, big brother's condolences!"

Li Baiyu nodded slightly with a sad face, and walked down the city wall.

Liu Mingzhi went to the other side.

Li Yunlong and other brothers looked at the backs of their eldest brother Liu Mingzhi and the two of them going away, with different expressions and different thoughts.

But the idea is mostly the same.

There are thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and there are people who can live there.

Li Zheng is right, these sons are still wicked.
