However, she couldn't see him - she only looked back, very flatly.
Just like being alone, facing the world alone.
Fortunately, I still have the child I am holding.
Two hands.
She held her son's hand tighter.
Because of Lu Tai's question just now, everyone in the audience also looked at the Empress Dowager and the young emperor.
These are the two most powerful people in the world today. This is what they say in theory. However, many people are weighing whether this is actually the case.
Since the "poisoning" incident, for almost a year, the relationship between Empress Dowager Feng and Emperor Hongwen, regardless of political affairs, has reached a freezing point. Now that Emperor Hongwen is dead, will the former arrogant Empress Dowager Feng be as good as before?
An escaped tiger? Just look at her attitude towards Emperor Hongwen and the ministers appointed by Emperor Hongwen at this funeral.
After all, there are only a handful of people who know about Minister Gu Ming, and Lu Tai and others deliberately conceal it. Therefore, in the general image of the foreign ministers, they are all gambling on a crucial game——
The matter of human sacrifice and the title of Concubine Li is the key to weigh this.
Especially when Han Chen could not attend the funeral of his loved ones in large numbers.
Lu Tai is also betting on this.
Therefore, he looked at Concubine Mi again and again.
This was originally negotiated, and according to the attitude of the Empress Dowager at that time, she almost acquiesced. The list has been approved. Why is it that now, no one has died?
Seeing that the little emperor and the queen mother were silent, he became anxious and looked at Concubine Mi.
However, Concubine Mi kept kneeling on the ground. She didn't know whether she was truly saddened by the death of Emperor Hongwen, or she was so frightened that she almost fainted.
Lu Tai noticed something was wrong and stepped forward.
He and King Jingzhao were the hosts of this funeral.
The two whispered a few words.
Empress Dowager Feng stood opposite, her expression unchanged until she saw the two men approaching.
"I would like to report to the Empress Dowager and the guys from the Ministry of Rites that their preparations were so poor, they neglected their duties, and even forgot about such a major event as a person's death..."
This time the person in charge of the funeral was Li Chong, and the ones who burned the body were two Han minor officials.
Li Chong and Wang Su were the only ministers who could enter the inner court, but they were all on the left side, responsible for some final ceremonies. This was the result of discussions between Lu Tai and King Jingzhao, and they had to follow.
A clerk was standing next to Lu Tai. Lu Tai reached out and slapped him: "How dare you ignore such a big etiquette, damn it!"
Before Li Chong and Wang Su had time to react, Lu Tai had already shouted: "Catch those two guys who are derelict in their duties..."
Several guards who had been prepared swarmed up and grabbed the two unknown minor officials. Lu Tai said with a stern voice, "I must punish you for a serious crime. The guy who deserves to be beheaded has even ignored such a major matter...
"
This action is done in one go.
Even the guards' expressions when obeying orders are well-trained.
Everyone was shocked.
Everyone was sweating profusely. They looked at Empress Dowager Feng, then at Lu Tai. Then they looked at the Zongzi Army with clear flags and filial piety clothes around the Lingtai. Only this part of the army belongs to the imperial court and has always been controlled by King Jingzhao.
In his hands, Emperor Hongwen did not make any changes during his lifetime.
Obviously, Lu Tai has already won the support of King Jingzhao.
However, Lu Tai's expression did not change and his voice was loud: "Please give the order from the Queen Mother to die for the Supreme Emperor immediately; in addition, after the funeral, your Majesty's biological mother will be posthumously named the Queen Mother..."
That day, I still threatened Empress Dowager Feng in private, but today, I made it public.
The Xianbei nobles immediately beamed with joy.
Everyone looked at Queen Mother Feng together.
They all realized that this was an excellent time to take revenge on her - no one had forgotten that during the anti-corruption campaign and the implementation of reforms, this woman secretly got rid of many Xianbei ministers with the help of Emperor Hongwen.
If we don't take the opportunity to suppress her now, no one will be able to live a good life in the future.
Li Chong and Wang Su quietly exchanged glances.
Even they were very nervous.
Although all the details had been reported to Queen Mother Feng before, Queen Mother Feng was obviously too sad and did not make any comments.
The two complained secretly. Although they had been prepared for Lu Tai for a long time, with the support of Zong Zijun, it was really hard to predict what the situation would be like.
Only Empress Dowager Feng on the high platform remained calm and slowly let go of the little emperor's hand. The little emperor, who was originally frightened by the tragic death of the war horse and was crying, now had a calm look on his face and his eyes were wide and round.
, looking at Lu Tai kneeling in front of him.
There was dead silence all around.
Everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.
Until an old voice broke the silence, it was the old eunuch Wei Qiyuan kneeling in front of the young emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the edict left by the late emperor..."
As he spoke, he took out an edict from his arms.
The edict left by the late emperor?
Lu Tai and others couldn't believe it.
Before Emperor Hongwen died, everyone stayed by his side. The only time he left was when he met Empress Dowager Feng alone - was there really any secret edict given to this woman?
Lu Tai was furious: "You damn eunuch, the late emperor did not leave any edicts before his death. You are just pretending... I will know the authenticity after looking at it..."
He actually grabbed the edict with his bare hands.
Two sharp knives immediately took him away.
Because the movement was too fast, everyone had no time to react. They only saw two gray figures, one behind the other, shouting in a low voice: "Lu Tai, you are so bold..."
Everyone looked at each other, and saw that the leader turned out to be Wei Chen, who had not been seen for a long time - the former commander of the gray armored men founded by Di Luojia.
The other person was Zhou Hong, the commander of the Royal Forest Army whom Emperor Hongwen trusted most during his lifetime.
Lu Tai's hands were grabbed and his body was held down.
