Chapter 284: The Death of the Underworld (Part 1)
"Mr. Lai, the decree has been read out, please get up quickly." Eunuch Qian was responsible for promulgating the decree. He responded too much, some cried bitterly, and some were out of control, but he did not expect that this decree would lead to Lai Tongyu like this.
He was smiling, and seeing Lai Tongyu kowtow "crackling" and consciously finished promulgating the imperial eunuch, he couldn't bear it, so he hurried down and helped Lai Tongyu up and said, "This is the grace of the emperor, it's a great joy. Alas, everyone in the world will envy you. With you as a grandson, Mr. Lai can rest in peace and honor..."
Seeing this, two servants hurriedly stepped forward to help Lai Tongyu up, but Lai Tongyu still couldn't stand up for a while. As for the old lady, tears were pouring down her eyes.
The Lai family will show this, which is really the most important thing.
Lai Yi, whose courtesy name was Jizhen, was a Jinshi in the first year of Shenglin. He was open-minded and bold, romantic and elegant, loyal and loyal to the country. He was admired by people at that time. He was in the position of county magistrate, doctor of Taichang, assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, secretary supervisor, etc.
Later, he wrote a letter to the emperor and said that he was furious. The emperor was demoted to Shu. He went to Shu to govern the country and was respected by the people of Shu.
However, Lai Yi offended the emperor and the powerful and did not have a good ending. After his death, he was even given a bad posthumous posthumous title.
Originally, it was a large clan, the Emperor gradually declined due to his crime. Although he had branches with wealth, he gradually became distant and divided.
As the direct grandson of the Lai family, Lai Tongyu's family's family was in a difficult situation after birth. Later, she had to be a clerk and lived a miserable life.
Later, I met Wang Hongyi and asked him to come out and was valued. Although he had been wandering around the fourth rank due to his fate, he was also a member of the country.
But even though he was valued later and was promoted and enjoyed wealth, Lai Tongyu never dared to forget that he was suffering from the underworld. He was suffering from his will and powerlessness and could only shed tears in secret.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, Lai Tongyu has always wanted to ask the emperor for an order and asked the emperor to issue an order to rehabilitate his deceased father.
However, it has only been two months since the throne ascended the throne. His Majesty was in a coma first and the Dharma Assembly case later. Now it is an important national tuition, Enko. As an official, Lai Tongyu must first take into account the overall situation and then ask for an order.
Unexpectedly, suddenly, this long-awaited decree came out of his expectations.
Moreover, the posthumous title given to my grandfather is too elevated - the posthumous title "Wenzheng"!
You should know that the word "Wenzheng" is of great importance.
After becoming an official, literati wanted to get this posthumous title, but the emperor would not give it to others easily.
Most of the posthumous titles "Wen Zheng" were admired by literati at that time.
In a dynasty, few people have been able to receive this honor for hundreds of years.
Although Lai Yi is a famous scholar and his grandfather, Lai Tongyu asked himself that he could not think of this posthumous title. Now he got this posthumous title, which is for the first group of old ministers from Long.
In ancient times, posthumous titles were very important, especially in the system of the emperor, which determined the treatment of ministers after death.
Those who have beautiful posthumous titles often have spirits and virtues after death. On the contrary, they will naturally suffer after death and fall into hell.
This is a great reward and grace. Lai Tongyu assisted Wang Hongyi along the way. His original purpose was that one day he could rehabilitate his grandfather and get rid of his evil posthumous posthumous posthumous title?
And this can only be done by the emperor who officially ascended the throne.
Today, I finally got what I wish. Lai Tongyu was crying and couldn't stand up even if she cried, and she couldn't choke up and couldn't speak.
Seeing that the Lai family was crying, Mr. Qian was secretly envious of the servant who was being supported by him just now.
He didn't even dare to think about this kind of honor of ministers.
After a while, seeing that the time was almost over, he stepped forward and advised with a gentle voice: "Mr. Lai, this is a great thing! Your Majesty understands the intention of your Majesty. Since this is the case, you must be happy! Mr. Lai? Why don't you accept the order to thank me?"
"It's Lai who lost his composure, please don't blame me!" Lai Tongyu returned to his calmness, wiped away tears, corrected his expression, and tidied up again, stepped forward and respectfully accepted the imperial edict.
He said again: "This is a great joy for my Lai family. Someone came to get fifty taels of gold and gave it to my father-in-law!"
The housekeeper responded loudly, returned to the inside, and after a moment, he took fifty taels of gold. When Mr. Qian saw this, he was happy and reminded him: "Mr. Lai, this is an unprecedented kindness. Your Majesty attaches great importance to you. Don't let Your Majesty down your wishes."
Lai Tongyu bowed and said, "What my father-in-law said is that Lai will definitely not forget His Majesty's kindness. Please wait for a while. Lai will come to the palace with his father-in-law to thank him."
"Mr. Lai, you said it when you came down. Please do not have to rush to enter the palace. If you do this worship properly, it will not be too late to go again." Eunuch Qian said hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Lai Tongyu once again thanked Eunuch Qian and asked the housekeeper to send him out of the door.
Until after Mr. Qian left, the Lai family hugged each other and cried again.
Seeing this, Lai Tongyu's wife walked up and advised: "Mom, husband, let's do the worship first! Tell me this news to the bottom of the nine fountains!"
When Lai Tongyu heard this, he raised his back and whispered: "Come here, take my famous post and invite a ritual official from the Ministry of Rites to come. This is a major event given by the imperial edict. I understand that I want to worship my grandfather."
Jinling Palace
Although there is not as large as the 30,000 palace people in the Great Yan, there are still 3,000 palace people walking in the palaces and pavilions in the palace, which should be in order.
The number of eunuchs was consciously controlled, mainly because Wang Hongyi did not agree to the implementation of the female official system. In some places, eunuchs must be used, but they also think that eunuchs who are harmful to the body and disabled are inhumane. Therefore, according to Wang Hongyi's instructions, except for the palace secret places for special positions, they are only those that are inconvenient to contact confidential positions and cannot be released.
For other normal positions, the establishment of the Six Bureaus and Twenty-Four Divisions will be ordered to use women as long as they do not involve the secret place of the palace: "The six people are prepared for internal governance, cast and seal, and the female officials will grant the imperial edict, and the current person will give the salary and return to his home. After the term of office, he can be assigned to his parents to listen to the marriage."
Simply put, except for the use of eunuchs in the secret places of the palace, other women go out in batches and come in batches, and the salary of the female official is distributed to their homes and becomes dowry.
Later, Wang Hongyi ordered: "Save it in the money house and give it to him when he leaves the palace."
It was deposited in the bank. It was only a few years after the execution, which caused conflicts between the female officials and the family. After some families received the money, they used the female officials' money to their brothers and younger brothers. After the female officials came out, they found that their salary was not much left, so they went to the palace to cry to the queen, which was why this order was made.
Every year, newcomers enter the palace, but this has nothing to do with the talent show. Most people will be released when the time comes and they will be married separately.
Because Enko is ongoing this year, as the monarch, Wang Hongyi has been very busy all the time and even lunch is often enjoyed in the imperial study.
Unless the harem goes to the empress dowager in the morning to greet the queen, he rarely goes back, but he often sits in the queen for a while and then goes to the prince to see what they have learned.
At this moment, Wang Hongyi slowly walked out of the hall, stood on the left and right guards, all kneeling down, and were filled with darkness.
Wang Hongyi waved his hand and asked them to get up.
The guard stood up, stood left and right, without looking sideways.
At such a young age, the emperor, who had been sitting in most of the country, went up a step, reached a high place, looked at the sky in the distance, and was silently stunning.
The emperor served several people, standing cautiously not far away, waiting for instructions at any time.
Wang Hongyi carried his hands on his back, and his thoughts were fluctuating in his heart.
After ascending the throne, everything was busy. According to the report, the army was always practicing and did not slackened for a whole winter. Seeing that the basic training was over in March, we had to add to each guard, capital and prefecture.
The 800,000 army was not equipped at all, and dozens of them were built, and frequent soldiers were mobilized and integrated into one by one. The Ministry of War and the Privy Council, especially the Privy Council, were busy with hands and feet, Ding Huchen was busy with thin and black, and his body was swaying. All of these were required to be remembered.
After the Spring Festival, all provinces and counties should arrange refugees to reclaim their cultivation, and they were also busy complaining.
The cabinet is so busy that everyone lives in the Hall of Heroes.
There is also good news, that is, the customs are further consolidated, and the newly built fish pine workshop, combined with Shihuo (coal), has formed a large industry, and tens of thousands of people have new jobs. There are dozens of tons of fish pine along the coast every day. The soldiers and refugees who eat are responding well.
As expected, this scale will continue to expand and the country will continue to flourish from then on.
Also, Lai Tongyu has received the order at this time, right?
Lai Tongyu has followed him for many years. From the beginning, he knew that the Lai family hoped that now he has ascended the throne, so he naturally wanted to give Lai Tongyu an explanation.
Thinking of the Lai family and the various things he encountered, Wang Hongyi thought silently.
In his previous life, Wang Hongyi knew about the existence of the underworld, and even more so about some things about Wang Zunzhi. Now that he ascended the throne, what is the underworld that is closely related to him?
If there are no special circumstances, ghosts and gods rarely get close to the kings and princes. When Wang Hongyi was called the Chu prince in the past, Wang Zunzhi could not meet. Now Wang Hongyi ascended the throne and became emperor, and he was afraid that he would have to wait until the end of the nine springs.
However, it is hard to say that as long as Wang Hongyi travels, it can be seen, but this is an exception.
Just as he was thinking, Eunuch Qian, who went to deliver the order, rushed back.
"Let him come in." Looking at him coming from afar, Wang Hongyi explained and entered the palace.
After a while, Eunuch Qian walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, the inner minister has returned from his order." He knelt down in front of Wang Hongyi, and Eunuch Qian said with a slump.
"What did Lai Qing say this time?" Wang Hongyi asked casually.
"Your Majesty, Lord Lai is so grateful to Your Majesty that he even bruised his head. As His Majesty expected, as soon as he received the imperial edict, he would immediately follow the minister to the palace to thank him, but was stopped by him according to the imperial edict."
Wang Hongyi nodded and said, "Go down!"
The underworld
It is dark and unclear, and there are always some figures in the space, with blurred forms.
However, there are many levels in the underworld.
There is a wilderness where the body and spirit disappear at any time, and there is also a miserable prison. I saw a flat land full of stones, thorns, and gravel.
Many "people" carry shackles and chains on their bodies, dig big stones, and polish them into neat stones. They suffer for many years and never rest.
This is where the sinners are.
Because of being accused of being absent during his lifetime, he suffered a lot after his death. Even the ordinary method of liberation did not work on them. These sinners could only suffer from torture day and night until the sin was over, and it was unbearable that they could only cry and howl.
At this moment, suddenly, an imperial edict appeared in the air. The imperial edict floated in mid-air, with two dragons circling on it, blooming with golden light, shining on this underworld.
