Chapter 43
Hearing the name "An Chen", Jiang Nian couldn't help but feel his eyes twitch slightly.

Why is this person so lingering, even in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and still attracting Ning Yuezhao's attention.

Seeing Ning Yuezhao's silence, Gao Sheng looked thoughtful, secretly pondered her thoughts, and said: "Criminal officials know that they should not be greedy for merit and ignoring other people's hard work. In contrast, An Yuyi knows that he is about to To die, but also to leave a prescription, which shows his integrity. Thinking about it, he was a mistake at the beginning, and now that this prescription is improved by him, it should be a crime."

Jiang Nian clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms, and he warned himself to be calm.

Ning Yuezhao gave him a sideways look, "You are wearing the body of a sin yourself, and you are pleading for others?"

Goldman Sachs' thick-skinned skills were used again, and he said with a straight face: "I know that I will not escape the punishment, but I still have to tell some facts."

Ning Yuezhao really couldn't bear to look at his bloody face and pretended to be righteous, and said in a deep voice, "An Chen's case will be tried by the three divisions, so you don't have to worry about it. As for you, although the prescription has no Harmful, but you are an imperial physician, greedy for quick profit, and take other people's hard work for yourself. People like you are not worthy of being an imperial physician. From now on, you will be dismissed from office, expelled from the imperial hospital, and will not be able to practice medicine again for life !"

It would be fine if An Chen's prescription cured the queen, but now that Gao Sheng mentioned this name, it touched Ning Yuezhao's guilt.

If it wasn't for her willfulness, how could the queen be greatly stimulated, and although the things An Chen planned were not the direct cause of the queen's death, they were also one of the inducements.

Gao Sheng originally thought that he would be demoted to assistant medical envoy at most, but Ning Yuezhao not only dismissed him from his position, but also forbade him to practice medicine again. Wouldn't this cut off his way of life.

Goldman Sachs quit and wanted to continue begging for mercy.

But I heard Jiang Nian coldly say: "Drag out."

If Goldman Sachs hadn't ignorantly begged An Chen for something, maybe Jiang Nian would have helped him, but people are so stupid sometimes, putting their treasures on the wrong people.

Therefore, before Goldman Sachs begged for mercy again, the palace servants in the Hall of Rising Dragons hurried up and carried him out.

The few remaining imperial doctors knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound.

Ning Yuezhao glanced at them, "Doctors should be benevolent and benevolent, and must not follow other ways. What happened today, you must take warning."

"Follow the princess' instruction!" Several imperial doctors hurriedly echoed.

Ning Yuezhao waved her hand, "Okay, let's all step back."

That was mentioned again, and both of them fell into deep thought. For a moment, they wanted to say something, but there was nothing to say.

At this time, Bitao came from the apse. She had already changed into plain clothes, blessed the two of them, and said, "Princess, son-in-law, Your Majesty's remains have been sorted out and enshrined in the official coffin."

"I know." Ning Yuezhao's voice was slightly disappointed, "I'll come after I and the son-in-law change clothes."

The matter of An Chen was shelved like this, and Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian agreed not to bring it up again.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites were rushed into the palace to deal with the empress' funeral.

The current Minister of Rites is a woman named Qin Suqian, who is about 27 or [-] years old.

Because women are kings in Daxing, a women's Jinshi department was set up, and women's schools were set up in larger prefectures, and some women entered the court every year.

Most of the women entered relatively relaxed yamen such as the Ministry of Rites and Guozijian, and the number of years women were officials was often very short, at most until 23, they resigned and went home to marry.

It is extremely rare for someone like Qin Suqian to waste time until 27-[-].

The mourning hall in the front hall of the Ascending Dragon Hall has been set up, and the court ladies and eunuchs in plain clothes knelt on the ground, and the hall was full of sobs.

At this time, Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian had already put on filial piety clothes, and stood in front of the empress' Zi official.

The empress's voice and smile could be heard by my ears, but for a moment, it became a yin and yang separation.

At this moment, Ning Yuezhao could only suppress the grief in her heart, and brace herself to take care of the queen's funeral.

"Your Highness, the people who reported the funeral have been dispatched. Tomorrow the officials in Beijing will go to the Inner Palace to listen to the edict." After all the officials from the Ministry of Rites decided on all matters, Qin Suqian bowed and reported to Ning Yuezhao.

"I understand, you can go and get busy." Ning Yuezhao's voice was clear and cold, with no sense of joy or sorrow.

"Yes, I will leave." Qin Suqian bowed to her, and then withdrew.

Bitao knelt in front of the Queen's spirit, and said quietly: "Your Highness, Prince Consort, you go back to the bedroom to fast and take a bath, as long as there are servants here."

Although Ning Yuezhao still wanted to stay with the queen for a while, according to the etiquette, she and Jiang Nian had to go back to the palace to fast and take a bath before they could watch for the queen.

She nodded slightly, and Jiang Nian gently held her shoulder to show comfort.

Although Ning Yuezhao didn't speak, Jiang Nian could clearly feel that the tense shoulders under his hands were slightly loosened, which showed that his consolation still had some effect.

The next day, the cabinet officials and ministers of various ministries who received the funeral report the day before, put on plain clothes, black gauze hats and black horn belts, and rushed to the Chongtian Temple to listen to the edict.

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian knelt in the forefront, and the ministers knelt down behind them.

Standing in front of the throne, Jiang Qixi, who was an important minister of the two dynasties and the chief assistant of the cabinet, solemnly opened the sandalwood box sealed with wax lacquer, took out the edict inside, and read it out in public——

"The emperor's rule of the world has always been based on respecting the heaven and the ancestors. I was ordered by the first emperor at the age of 16, and I was appointed to the world. However, the young man was self-willed and indulged, and he failed to save the world. Fortunately, the Heaven and Earth Clan Society Moyou, with the help of the emperor, stopped the army in the face of disasters and chaos, and put the people in the city to live in peace. I would like to caress and control it to fulfill the destiny. Since the emperor's early death, I have worried about dangers. I work hard every day, and I am dedicated to benefiting the people. .Forty-one this year, energy declines, day and night worry, fearing that it will not end, now I have the principle of the nature of all things, what is there to think about it? , the character is precious, can be the husband of the emperor, and assist the king. Chinese and foreign civil and military ministers work together to help our people. All funeral ceremonies should be simple and undifferentiated. Announce the world so that I know my intentions. Because of this, Dingling mountains and rivers have no changed.

[-]. All the subjects of the world are ordered to release their clothes for three days after coming out, and there is no prohibition on marriage and drinking.

[-]. The people who have no hair come to the palace crying, and all those who come to the palace cry fifteen times each, mourning, and the ceremony is over.Don't be good at crying unless it's dawn.

[-]. When mourning or mourning, no one should wear any clothes, the belt should not exceed three inches, and there should be no chariots or weapons.

[-]. When the kings come to their fiefs to cry, they don't have to go to Beijing. The guards of Chinese and foreign officials are not allowed to leave the land without authorization. They are allowed to send people to Beijing.

[-]. Those who are not in the order, all follow this order to compare with others.

Therefore, this is an imperial edict, and I think it should be known. "

After the imperial decree was read, all the ministers kowtowed, "My minister complies with the decree."

Afterwards, Jiang Qixi walked down and handed over the imperial decree to Ning Yuezhao.

Ning Yuezhao took it solemnly, got up together with Jiang Nian, stepped on Dan Bi, and walked up to the golden lacquered platform.

Two thrones have been placed on the golden lacquered platform, side by side in the middle, with Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian each sitting on one.

The officials below kowtowed again, "See the emperor, long live, long live, long live. See the emperor's husband, thousand years old, thousand years old."

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian looked at each other, and finally she said in a deep voice, "Pingshen."

It was not the first time for her to sit in the Chongtian Temple. In the past, her seat was set on the right side under the throne, which was completely different from today's feeling of being in a high position.

Different from the previous one who supervised the country by order, now she is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, shouldering the responsibility of the country, the country and the people's livelihood.

Every step in the future must be done cautiously, and you can no longer do it willfully.

Jiang Nian, who was sitting side by side with her, also had mixed feelings and complicated thoughts at the moment.

He died and was reborn, and after several twists and turns, he finally returned to the position of being below this one and above ten thousand.

He has traveled to famous mountains and great rivers, south and north, and his state of mind is no longer lonely and narrow in his previous life.

Compared with the common people in the world and the rise and fall of a family, a little personal emotional gains and losses are really nothing to worry about.

He glanced sideways at Ning Yuezhao, and the other party just happened to look back at him. Their eyes met, and they nodded in understanding.

According to the Queen's will, everything about the funeral can be kept simple.

All officials only need to fast in the official office, set up incense tables to burn incense, and cry for three days, and they don't have to cry from morning to night, just once in the morning, noon and evening.

Because most of the royal family of the Ning family is a single descendant, the only vassal king is King Kangyu.This King Kangyu is considered to be Ning Yuezhao's cousin, a descendant of the Shu branch.

When Ning Yuezhao's great-grandmother was in power, she doted on a certain servant very much, because after the emperor's husband gave birth to a concubine daughter, she gave birth to a concubine prince with this servant.

This prince is also an extremely intelligent person, extremely talented, and can learn everything quickly; in contrast, because the emperor's husband and his great-grandmother are divorced, even his daughter is not valued, and has not been conferred the title of empress dowager for a long time. Female.

The great-grandmother tried several times in the court to appoint the prince as the heir apparent on the grounds that the concubine's aptitude is dull and difficult to be a great official.However, due to the power of the imperial husband's family, the great-grandmother had no choice but to make the princess the crown prince and the prince Kangyu Wang.

However, the great-grandmother didn't have any good feelings for the princess. Out of guilt, she tried her best to elevate the status of the Shijun family, allocated the best fiefdom to King Kangyu, and allowed him to boil salt, mint coins, and have his own army.

The imperial husband felt threatened, so he asked his daughter to marry another prominent family.

Although under the joint efforts of the two major families, the first princess successfully succeeded to the throne, King Kangyu has too much power, which is always a hidden danger.

The two generations of heirs to the throne of the Ning family fought with King Kangyu for a long time, until Ning Yuezhao's father was in power, and he completely took back the power to boil salt and mint coins.

Before the queen died, she was thinking of the military power in King Kangyu's hands, so she didn't allow him to go to Beijing to mourn.

Tonight is the last day for the empress to rest, and Ning Yuezhao knelt before the coffin in filial piety.

In the past two days, she was busy with various matters, and she didn't even have time to cry.

At this moment in the dead of night, all the palace people were sent out of the palace by her, and Jiang Nian was still helping her with government affairs.

Finally, she could cry unscrupulously.
