Chapter 29
On the first day of June, the emperor passed away, and on the second day of June, the 20-year-old prince Yu Wenyun came to the throne. His aunt Ashina was the empress dowager, and his biological mother Li Ezi was the empress dowager.

All the neighborhoods and streets in Chang'an City are completely untouched. Mu Xieli's rouge shop has no business in the short term. After closing the shop last night, there is no plan to reopen it for the time being.

Cui Che returned to the academy yesterday morning after a three-day holiday at the end of the month. Hearing the bad news early this morning, he hurried back to Chang'an with a group of friends.

As early as the thirteenth day of February, Cui Che had passed his eighth birthday, and he could be said to be nine years old now.

Cui Che's stature is a bit taller than last winter's. It is reasonable to say that with the snoring of Yang Xuangan, Dou Wei, and Pei Xiu, his sleep quality is indeed poor, but it does not affect his height growth. Weird thing.

It's just that Brother Che has no time to pay attention to it now. He is really sad when the emperor passed away.

Although Yu Wenyong was of a different race, he lived a simple life. Looking at his literary and martial arts throughout his life, he was undoubtedly a capable emperor.

What's more, he really has the kindness to regenerate Cui Che, no matter what the original intention of promising this kindness is, if there is no pardon from Yu Wenyong, brother Che would still be herding sheep in Saibei, how could he be as rich as he is today.

It is impossible to verify exactly when the burning of paper money for the deceased originated, but the Southern and Northern Dynasties did have this behavior, but it really flourished as a custom until the Tang Dynasty.

Cui Che returned to the mansion to prepare for today, Cui Che personally lit a brazier, distributed half of the paper money to Pei Xiu, and then with tears in his eyes, he mourned and burned the paper for the emperor.

With that sad look, those who didn't know it thought that it was not Prince Yu Wenyun who lost his father, but Cui Che.

Chang'an Miyagi.

Yu Wenyun returned to the Spirit Hall, staring at the dead father's body, with no expression of sadness on his face, and even faintly agitated.

He caressed carefully the stick marks left by Yu Wenyong's beating on his body, and every time he was beaten in the past, flashed in his mind one by one.

Finally, Yu Wenyun could no longer bear the anger in his heart, and yelled at his deceased father's corpse:

"You died too late!"

In the mourning hall, he yelled at his late father, but he couldn't vent the anger in Yu Wenyun's heart, and then he chose the concubines left by his father to wantonly humiliate him.

At the same time, Cui Che had already sent away everyone in Cui Mansion's main courtyard, even Miao Rong and Pei Xiu were not allowed to stay by his side. While burning the paper money, he whispered:

"Your Majesty, no matter how talented you are, the family property you have worked so hard to save will eventually be changed to the surname Yang.

"Although I have received your kindness, your son is really disappointing and short-lived. I can't involve myself and the clan in order to repay the kindness.

"However, I, Cui Che, am not an ungrateful person. Didn't you spoil your niece the most in the past? If there is a chance, I will take good care of the daughter of the Dou family for you, which can be regarded as repaying your kindness.

"La! If you don't object, I'll take it as your consent."

After all, the paper money in the brazier was completely burned, Cui Che stood up, patted the dust on his hands, feeling that he would have another reason to take care of the daughter of the Dou family in the future.

Li Yuan didn't know that before his wife got married, someone was already thinking about her.

Of course, Brother Che also has something to say, this is his promise to the late emperor, as for the great reputation of husband and wife, or the heavy promise of the monarch and ministers, it depends on the fate of Cui Che and Li Yuan.

If Dou Wei hadn't relayed Dou Yi's words last year as a reminder, Cui Che would have used the death of the late emperor to perform a good performance and set up his own character of emphasizing kindness and affection.

Now that he has to restrain his edge, he has cried a lot, which means that he is worthy of the late emperor.

Don't you think that today's son is enduring the pain of his father's death and comforting the bereaved man with his body? That's still his own son.

As the saying goes, one emperor, one courtier.

Putting on his waistband, Yu Wenyun, dressed in filial piety, felt that he had not yet secured the throne of the emperor, nor was he eager to take revenge on the thorn in the side of the group headed by Wang Gui.

This gang of killers actually dared to persuade the old thief Yi Chu, so naturally they would not spare them, but the most important thing right now is to support their confidants.

Yang Jian is naturally a candidate that cannot be ignored.

As Yu Wenyun ascended the throne, the former concubine Yang Lihua was naturally a wife and husband, and the imperial edict for the establishment of the queen has been drawn up, waiting to be read out at the court tomorrow.

And Yang Jian, the queen's father, is Yu Wenyun's most important help and ally in the process of eradicating opponents such as Wang Gui.

In addition to Yang Lihua's imperial edict, Yu Wenyun also prepared an imperial decree for Yang Jianjin, the general manager of Bozhou, to be the general of the Zhu Kingdom and the great Sima, that is, to transfer him back to Chang'an.

As for the reason, the identity of the queen's father is not sufficient.

On the third day of June, two edicts were read out one after another. In addition, Yu Wenyun over-promoted Yin Zhengyi, the former crown prince who had been dismissed by the former emperor Yu Wenyong, as General Kaifu Yitong and Doctor of Internal History. In the name of his father's filial piety, he temporarily handed over the government affairs to Zheng Yi.

But Zheng Yi has another identity besides the minister of the hidden mansion, that is, Yang Jian's classmate.

But these have nothing to do with Cui Che for the time being, yesterday he burned paper money to the late emperor and said his heartfelt words, and this morning he and Pei Xiu set off back to the academy.

Mu Xieli and Miaorong sent Cui Che away, thinking that they would spend some boring days in the mansion. After all, it was a bit inappropriate to sell rouge during the national mourning period.

It’s just that I never thought that according to the etiquette, there should be a one-month national mourning. On June 23, the filial son Yu Wenyun buried his father Yu Wenyong in the Xiaoling Mausoleum. The title is Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was buried in a hurry, and Yu Wenyun issued an edict immediately, ordering all officials in the court and other places to take off their mourning clothes, and asked the courtiers to discuss whether the emperor, empress, and concubines of the sixth palace should change into auspicious clothes.

It's a discussion, but it's just to let the officials give Yu Wenyun a step not to wear mourning for his late father, not to really let them discuss whether the emperor should take off his mourning clothes

For example, Leyun Shangshu, the governor of Jingzhao County, remonstrated:
'The funeral is already in a hurry, and it is too urgent not to wear mourning clothes just after the funeral. '

This kind of sparseness is simply nothing, and there is no response at all.

In the end, under the persuasion of all the old people in the East Palace and the courtiers who flattered the new emperor, Yu Wenyun had no choice but to change into an auspicious costume to celebrate his ascension to the throne.

Now that the son of the emperor doesn't care about the national funeral, and the folks have no scruples, in Chang'an City, wine shops and brothels are open one after another, and Mu Xieli's rouge shop has also reopened, and business is booming again.

After ascending the throne for more than [-] days, Yu Wenyun, who felt that he had secured the throne, decided to do something serious after successively placing his confidantes in important positions in the court.

For example, unjustly killing my uncle.

 Regarding the description of Yu Wenyun's obscenity and humiliation of his concubines, the historical records are "reading the people of Gaozu's palace and forcing them into lust." '

  There are four grades in the title of concubine, and the third is the palace lady. It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty was abolished that it was called a palace lady in the Southern Song Dynasty.

  In addition, thank you for your rewards, and continue to ask for favorites and recommendations.
