Be an emperor from drawing cards

Chapter 160: Mourning the emperor, Judge Dee decides the case!
In the sacred capital city of Chu State, the imperial palace, and the Tai Chi Hall.

All civil and military officials gathered here. Zhao Yu, wearing an imperial robe and crown, presided over the great meeting.

Attendant Gao Lishi took a step forward, holding a fly whisk, and said loudly:
"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

Cao Huan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, walked out from the crowd of ministers holding a wat tablet in his hand and said: "I am going to tell your majesty that the emperor's posthumous title and the words in the mourning book have been prepared. The Ministry of Rites has fully prepared them, and I would like to ask your majesty to read and approve them."

After saying that, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and held it high above his head.

Zhao Yu's eyes passed through the layers of crowns, looked at the ministers below, and nodded slightly.

"read."

The posthumous title of Emperor Daxing has been carried out in an orderly manner since his successor ascended the throne.

Under normal circumstances, the steps for determining a posthumous title should first be for the Ministry of Rites to select a day among the good and auspicious days obtained by the Qin Tian Jian, and then the three ministers, senior officials and the six chief officials will lead the civil and military ministers to the southern suburbs of Shenjing to hold a ceremony to worship the heaven. , divination to God and ancestors.

After obtaining the consent of God and the previous emperors, the posthumous title of Emperor Daxing was deemed to have been endorsed by God and the previous emperors.

After this step, officials from the Ministry of Rites can further define the scope of the posthumous title.

Then, the final posthumous title will be determined by the Sangong and the six chief officials, and finally submitted to the emperor of the day for approval.

However, this set of procedures was simplified a lot intentionally or unintentionally by Zhao Yu after he took complete control of the power in the DPRK.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites, headed by Cao Huan, the Minister of Rites, also considered that His Majesty is of the bloodline of Wuzong, not the Wenzong of Emperor Daxing, so they directly chose to hold a simple ceremony at the Ancestral Temple, and then went directly to the next process.

There are no senior ministers in the court today, and the temporary cabinet established during Zhao Yunan's campaign obviously did not dare to make the decision on this matter. Therefore, it was not until nearly a month after Zhao Yu returned to Beijing that the process of determining the posthumous title of Emperor Daxing was completed. Barely reached the end.

With Zhao Yu's permission, Cao Huan hurriedly unfolded the memorial and read it word for word in an almost gentle tone:

"The king is lofty to match the sky, vast to match the law of the earth, clear to resemble the sun and moon, and honest to match the four seasons. He is called the king of command, and his posthumous title is based on his perfect virtue."

As Cao Huan's clear voice echoed in the Tai Chi Hall, all the civil and military officials in the hall lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, listening attentively.

"Emperor Fuwei Daxing succeeded the Ming Dynasty from Shufeng, and was appointed from the former star. He was supported by the four seas and sent greetings by thousands of people. He remembered the ancient laws and heaven, punished the country in his own country, Mu Mu Jun De, the Ming Dynasty was brilliant, and he was as brilliant as the gods. As far as heaven and earth. In the season of the country's natural treasures, troops are stationed in the south of the Yangtze River, and powerful princes often appear in their own land. The orders are inconsistent, and the court is embarrassed."

In the entire Tai Chi Hall, apart from Cao Huan's voice, there was only the sound of the ministers' deliberately slowed breathing.

"My wife, if your virtue is so great, you can match the gods and enjoy the heaven and earth. You are small, big, fine, and coarse. There is no need for external literature! However, those who become my ministers will definitely make great achievements, record great deeds, and succeed in Shaoxia." , with a revered posthumous title, engraved in a jade book, hidden in a golden cabinet, recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period, and passed down to future generations..."

As Cao Huan slowly read aloud, all the officials in the palace bowed with their heads in hand.

This is a sign of respect for the previous emperor.

"In addition to the obfuscation of gifts, there is the name of the mountain in the north; there are two words of Fa Chong, and there is the discussion of going to the suburbs in the south. I would like to follow the posthumous law: being kind and caring to relatives, giving generously and preparing things are all called filial piety; being orphaned early, being short-lived, respectful When benevolence is short, it is called mourning; when benevolence is short, it is called mourning. A husband is filial because he loves his relatives, and mourns when he is young. Only God is wise, only the sage has a constitution, and the law is also sensitive. Please honor the posthumous title: "Xiao Ai Emperor", the temple says 'Ai Zong'. Please discuss."

After Zhao Yu heard this, he nodded gently: "Good."

The character "Ai" is similar to the word "Ai". Emperor Daxing died due to falling into the water. He was only fifteen years old.

Furthermore, during the years he was in office, Huang Jingming, a powerful minister outside the country, was in charge of the government, and the Queen Mother was doting and indulgent inside. During his reign, he made no achievements in domestic, foreign, and military matters.

If you want to find a cover for him, you can only use the word "filial piety" that anyone can use.

The posthumous title of Emperor Xiaoai can be regarded as the final seal for him.

Seeing that Zhao Yu had no objection, the ministers quickly knelt on the ground and bowed to the emperor on the dragon throne: "O ministers, please obey God's will!"

After that, Zhao Yu appointed Zongling Zhao Zhang and Supervisory Yuan Yushi Yu Fan as the principal and deputy envoys of Shanling, responsible for Aizong's funeral matters.

At this point, the posthumous affairs of Emperor Daxing have basically been settled.

Zhao Yu made Yu Fan his deputy for his own reasons, mainly to allow this person to gain more credit and qualifications, and also to keep him away from the court for a short period of time so that he would be less bothered by him.

In less than a month since arriving in southern Xinjiang, Yu Fan had already made him feel a little dizzy.

He finally understood why a wise king like Li Er ordered Wei Zheng's tombstone to be overthrown after his death.

If there were no personal grudges in this, Zhao Yu would not believe it even to death.

Now, facing Yu Fan alone, Zhao Yu himself was a little overwhelmed.

Thinking about the "strong" critics who might be summoned by him in the future, Zhao Yu felt a little overwhelmed.

After the meeting, Zhao Yu came to Zihuan Hall as usual to review the memorial.

Looking at the piles of memorials piled up like a mountain, Zhao Yu felt quite irritable.

As an emperor, he can be regarded as a diligent emperor.

He spends at least ten hours every day reviewing memorials in the Zihuan Palace, but the number of memorials does not decrease day by day.

"Everything big or small is thrown in front of me. If I hadn't been so strong, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on..."

Zhao Yu complained in his heart while quickly reviewing the memorials one by one.

It seems that it is necessary to divide these memorials one by one according to their importance. By doing so, you can greatly reduce your workload and make yourself more relaxed.

Zhao Yu thought this in his mind.

However, if you want to do this, you must have enough trustworthy manpower.

This is also the biggest headache for Zhao Yu.

Even though he summoned more than twenty Chinese heroes to come to this world, it was still a drop in the bucket in the face of such a huge state machine as Chu State.

Just when Zhao Yu was thinking about how to change the current situation, a young eunuch trotted in and bowed:

"Your Majesty, Cao Huan, the Minister of Rites, would like to see you!"

His train of thought was suddenly interrupted. Zhao Yu endured the discomfort in his heart and asked calmly:
"The Ministry of Rites has quite a lot going on today."

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Burmese Kingdom seems to want to learn from the Qi Kingdom and is preparing to send envoys to ask for peace." Gao Lishi reminded Zhao Yu in a low voice, "Perhaps Master Cao came to see your Majesty at this time for this reason. thing."

When Zhao Yu heard this, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"I was only focusing on the Qi country and almost forgot about the Burmese country. Xuan Caoqing, please come in."

The little eunuch who was waiting for orders quickly stepped back after hearing this.

Not long after, Cao Huan, the Minister of Rites, walked into the Zihuan Hall under the guidance of a chamberlain, bowed to Zhao Yu, and said:
"Your Majesty, Cao Huan, pays homage to your Majesty!"

"Cao Qing, please be free." Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said to Gao Lishi, "Give Cao Qing a seat and tea."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Taking the tea cup from Gao Lishi, Cao Huan carefully placed half of his buttocks on the porcelain stool.

"Cao Qing came to Zihuan Palace to see me at this time. Why did you come?"

Seeing Zhao Yu asking questions, Cao Huan said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, there is news from General Qu of Southern Xinjiang, saying that Burma wants to send envoys to enter the country to discuss peace talks with our country. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said:

"Now that our country is recuperating, it is reasonable to negotiate peace with Burma. With this, we, the great Chu, have less worries and can focus on the future Northern Expedition. Tell Qu Zhennan and let him release the mission. Just come in. When the Northern Expedition succeeds, it won’t be too late for you, my king and my ministers to slowly settle the accounts with the Burmese country.”

"Your Majesty is wise." Seeing Zhao Yu's attitude, Cao Huan finally felt relieved.

"However, the Burmese state conspires with the Qi state and is good at provoking external provocations, so I have to express my position. Cao Qing, when the envoy from the Burmese state comes to Beijing, your Ministry of Rites will slowly discuss it with him, and I will not be involved."

When Cao Huan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then understood:
"Your Majesty's intention is clear to me. The Ministry of Rites will never disappoint Your Majesty. It will definitely cause the Na Burmese people to bleed a lot this time, letting them know that under His Majesty's command, our Chu Kingdom is no longer the Chu Kingdom it used to be. "

Zhao Yu was very satisfied with Cao Huan's attitude and said, "I'll just wait and see how many taels of flesh Cao Qing can cut off the Burmese."

The two of them had reached a consensus, and Cao Huan just resigned.

Zhao Yu pondered for a while and then issued another edict, ordering Yin Shou and Wu Song to lead the Beijing camp army still in southern Xinjiang to return to the capital.

Now that Myanmar has no intention of causing trouble at the border, the soldiers who accompanied him on the expedition can return north and return to Beijing to receive rewards.

…………

In the office of the editor-in-chief, Li Ru held a stack of files that was a foot thick in his hands. He was circling around the room, frowning in thought, and immersed himself in it.

He Bayun sat in a chair not far from Li Ru, looking at Li Ru who was walking around in circles, his heart gradually sank.

Seeing Li Ru suddenly stop, He Boyun was startled and asked subconsciously:
"Wenyou, is there a solution?"

Li Ru looked at He Bayun with a hopeful look on his face, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I disappoint the palace lord. Although I have a way to break the situation, it is far from what your majesty asked for. If I scare the snake, I may lose more than the gain." "

Hearing this, He Bayun could only sigh helplessly.

The Editorial Office was ordered by His Majesty to secretly investigate Chun Yuqing's corruption case, but only a little in-depth investigation shocked the two of them.

The total value of Chun Yuqing's embezzled luggage in the Beijing camp alone is no less than 10 taels, and this is only what they have found so far.

And Chun Yuqing was just a small military governor. If he dared to act so boldly, there must be someone behind him, and the other party's official rank was definitely not low.

Chun Yuqing was executed on the spot by His Majesty in southern Xinjiang. If they took action at this time, they would most likely scare off the enemy. After the other party noticed, they would cut off the clues and hibernate.

Because of this, the two of them were in trouble.

"Sir, if you tell me your plans and use time to make plans, your subordinates won't be in such a difficult situation. It's just asking your subordinates to solve the case and catch the culprit. It's really..."

At the end, Li Ru showed a wry smile on his face.

Li Wenyou is really not good at this kind of detective work.

"I feel the same for Mr. Li's troubles," He Bayun also smiled bitterly, "But the emperor's order has been issued, and as ministers, we can only act according to the order."

Li Ru said tentatively: "How about your Majesty and your Majesty go to see Your Majesty together to see if Your Majesty can let the Jisifu violently break the situation? It's easy to say that the humble minister and your Majesty were reprimanded by Your Majesty, but I'm just afraid of missing His Majesty's important event and damaging His Majesty's affairs. s arrangement."

As long as His Majesty agrees and allows the office of editor-in-chief to act expediently, it will be much easier to handle this case.

"Forget it, you and I can go see His Majesty together."

He Bayun sighed helplessly.

at sunset.

When he heard that Gao Lishi came to report that He Bayun and Li Ru were asking for a meeting outside the palace, Zhao Yu, who was about to go to Nuanchun Pavilion to meet Yin Huan, suddenly shook his head and laughed.

"Everyone says that the Emperor is the most noble and noble person in the world, but no one has ever said that the Emperor is the freest person. Forget it, let the two of them come in."

"Minister, please see Your Majesty."

He Bayun and Li Ru entered the Zihuan Hall and saluted Zhao Yu.

After signaling the two of them to sit down, Zhao Yu just smiled and asked:

"My two dear friends, you came to see me so late at night. Could it be that something happened at the Jishi Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, that's all."

Seeing that He Bayun didn't speak, Li Ru, a subordinate, had no choice but to briefly explain the whole story to Zhao Yu.

After hearing this, Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Listening to what Wen You said, it seems that there is a great person behind Chun Yu Qing?"

He Bayun said: "Your Majesty, Chun Yuqing alone has embezzled no less than 10 taels. This is in Shenjing, right under your Majesty's nose. If there is no one to support him, how can he dare to act so wantonly?"

"It seems that the carrots were pulled out and the mud was brought out." Zhao Yu showed a stern look in his eyes, "I have already said that I will give Qin Ji Shifu the right to do things easily, so just do it boldly."

Li Ru cupped his hands and said:
"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of the people around me and Lord He Ba, but I am afraid of disturbing the situation and disappointing Your Majesty. Wei Chen is good at making suggestions, but in this case, he is really unable to solve the case."

"A ruler is short and an inch is long. This is human nature. I am not a foolish king, and I will not blame you two." After Zhao Yu comforted the two of them, he said, "Strong man, take what I did the day before." Anyone who sees it should be brought to the temple."

Seeing Gao Lishi take the order and come out, Zhao Yufang smiled and said to the two of them:

"Shuo Ye, by chance, I happen to have a talented person who I would like to introduce to my two dear friends. This person may be able to solve your worries."

Soon, Gao Lishi left and came back. Behind him, there were two men, one looked a little rich and always had a smile on his face, and the other had a strong back and waist, and his eyes flashed from time to time.

"Chen Huaiying/Yuanfang pays homage to His Majesty."
