Jia Ke stood on top with eyes wide open and looked at the civil and military officials below and shouted loudly: "The emperor has passed away today. I don't know how to deal with the emperor's funeral affairs, but I am thinking about these fights for power. If anyone dares to do this again, then He Kong will end up.
"
"King Shun is planning something evil and he will be immediately imprisoned in the palace. He will not be allowed to leave the palace."
Jia Ke's words immediately ruined King Gongshun's future. Since Jia Ke said that he had evil intentions, he would probably have to be imprisoned in the palace for the rest of his life.
The obedient king also suffered an unreasonable disaster. Originally, he had no intention of doing so. Unexpectedly, his teacher and several ministers wanted to let him go out to compete with Jia Ke. Unexpectedly, he angered Jia Ke, and this is what he is today.
Disaster.
After hearing Jia Ke's roar, all the civil and military personnel present quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
Several people who supported He Kong did not dare to speak out now. From the temptation just now, everyone could see that Jia Ke was destroying the dynasty step by step.
Although some people are very sad in their hearts, the overall situation cannot be changed now, and they can only go with the flow.
In the end, Zhang Chaoxin stood up, raised his hands and said to Jia Ke: "Your Majesty, King Yan, I think that the son of the Concubine Xiande was smart since he was a child. When the emperor was still alive, he praised him several times, "This son is like me." I think that
Make the son of a virtuous concubine the emperor."
Zhang Chaoxin's this is complete nonsense. The baby is not yet one year old, so there is no way to see any intelligence.
As for the emperor's "similar to me", it is even more nonsense.
But Jia Ke was willing to listen to such words, and now his expression softened, "What Zhang Chaoxin said is true, even Guyi. What do you think?"
When everyone saw that Jia Ke had expressed his opinion, what else did he want us to see? So they all knelt down together and said, "I second my opinion."
Except for a few of the ministers below who are still loyal to the dynasty, the others naturally have no objections. Almost all of them have more or less contact with the Jia family, so naturally they have no objections to Jia Ke's order.
Jia Ke nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Meng Ming: "Mr. Meng is young and knowledgeable. I will leave the matter of the new emperor's enthronement to the old man."
After listening to Jia Ke's instructions, Meng Ming immediately came out of the office and said to Jia Ke, "I will obey the instructions of King Yan."
Jia Ke nodded and said to Fan Kang: "Fan Kang, you are the Minister of Rites. You will be responsible for the funeral of the emperor."
Fan Kang hurriedly held up his hands and said, "I will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations."
After giving these instructions, Jia Ke said to the civil and military officials present: "The death of the emperor is no small matter. From now on, all civil and military officials must come to the Baohe Hall to keep vigil for the emperor every day. All officials and women must also come to pay homage."
After listening to Jia Ke's instructions, all the civil and military officials immediately knelt down and said together: "I obey the instructions of His Highness King Yan."
Jia Ke then ordered the court to disperse and everyone went back to deal with important matters.
After listening to Jia Ke's words, all the civil and military officials stood up and exited the Qianqing Gate.
Seeing that all these people were gone, Jia Ke breathed a sigh of relief and returned to Qianqing Palace with Li Deshan's support.
On the way back to the Qianqing Palace, Jia Ke was still a little worried and asked Li Deshan next to him: "Those ministers will go to pay homage to the emperor in a while, won't they see any clues?"
"Master, don't worry. The medicine I use, slave, is secretly prepared by the secret guards. Apart from the unbearable pain and distortion of the body when taking the medicine, there will be no change in the complexion."
Li Deshan paused for a moment and then said: "I have ordered people to straighten the emperor's body. Those people must not be able to see any flaws."
Jia Ke was satisfied now. As long as there was no flaw in the emperor's expression, and when these ministers went to pay homage to the emperor, the rumors would be disproven.
As soon as Jia Ke returned to Qianqing Palace, he saw the young eunuch next to him coming to report that Dai Quan was waiting outside.
Jia Ke ordered someone to call him in.
After Dai Quan came in, he quickly saluted Jia Ke and only dared to stand up after Jia Ke asked him to get up.
Jia Ke sat on the emperor's throne and asked casually: "If you are not serving the virtuous concubine in Fengzao Palace, what are you doing here?"
Dai Quan hurriedly said: "Concubine Xiande, I heard that the emperor passed away, and I have no idea in my heart. I would like to invite your highness to go to Fengzao Palace."
After hearing this, Jia Ke felt that it was time to meet Jia Yuanchun again.
So Jia Ke nodded and ordered Li Deshan to prepare the carriage.
After receiving Jia Ke's instructions, Li Deshan immediately went out to prepare. After a while, Luan Jia was ready, and Jia Ke took Luan Jia and went straight to Fengzao Palace, the harem.
When Jia Ke entered Fengzao Palace, he saw Jia Yuanchun sitting in the middle, accompanied by Qin Keqing.
When Jia Yuanchun saw Jia Ke coming in, he quickly stood up and came to greet him.
These people re-entered the main hall. Jia Yuanchun was sitting in the middle, Jia Ke was beside him, and Qin Keqing was sitting behind Jia Ke.
When Jia Yuanchun saw that Jia Ke had already sat down, he asked: "Suddenly I heard that the emperor passed away. My little sister, I am left without a master. What should I do next? Please let me know clearly."
Jia Ke was quite satisfied after hearing Jia Yuanchun's words, "Don't worry, Madam, I have already made arrangements. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty have decided to welcome the young prince as emperor."
Jia Yuanchun burst into laughter immediately after hearing this, without any sadness at all because of the emperor's death.
"Then I will rely on my eldest brother for everything."
Jia Ke nodded and said: "My wife has been very tired these days. Please take the little prince to worship in front of the emperor's soul. Although the little prince is young, he still works hard."
"Brother, don't worry, I already understand."
After Jia Ke finished his instructions, he said goodbye to Jia Yuanchun, and Qin Keqing also followed Jia Ke.
After Jia Yuanchun saw Jia Ke leaving, the smile on her face disappeared. This time the emperor died suddenly and her son became the emperor. Although it seemed like a good thing, there was no emperor standing in front of her son. But it's more dangerous than before.
Jia Yuanchun thought about it over and over again. If he wanted his child to live in peace and stability for a long time, he must not keep Jia Ke.
However, he is now in the court and has no power, so he can only figure this out slowly.
After Jia Ke returned to Daoqianqing Palace, he immediately ordered his personal eunuch Li Gui to return to Rongguo Mansion with the news and explain the matter carefully to the old lady.
Li Gui received the order and did not dare to neglect. He immediately led a dozen young eunuchs out of the palace and rode a fast horse straight to Rongguo Mansion.
When Li Gui arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, the place was already brightly lit. It turned out that they had heard the sound of the alarm bell. Although they didn't know what happened, they still all got up and waited for news from outside.
As soon as Li Gui came to the door, Lin Zhixiao, who was waiting at the door, saw him.
Lin Linzhixiao knew that Li Gui's current identity was very important. He was Jia Ke's personal eunuch.
So he quickly took a few steps forward and came to Li Gui's side, cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Li, do you have any instructions when you come back this time?"
Li Gui also bowed his hand to Lin Zhixiao, "The uncle ordered me to send a message to the old lady, and I also asked Butler Lin to inform me."
Lin Zhixiao smiled and said: "What are you reporting to my family? Come on, follow me in."
Li Gui was not polite, so he followed Lin Zhixiao directly into the inner house and came to Jia Mu's courtyard.
At this time, the lights in Jia Mu's room were already bright. After hearing the alarm bell, Jia Mu got up and waited for the news. Now that she heard that Li Gui had come to deliver a message, she immediately ordered him to come in and respond.
Li Gui entered Jia Mu's room and kowtowed to Jia Mu according to the rules, then stood up and waited for Jia Mu to ask questions.
Jia Mu looked at Li Gui and knew that this man used to be Jia Ke's personal servant. He actually came out of the palace to serve Jia Ke. He was also loyal.
"Brother, what do you have to say when I order you to come back?"
"In reply to the old lady, Your Highness ordered me to tell the old lady that the emperor passed away suddenly tonight. Just now, His Highness had discussed with all the ministers in the court to let the little prince born to the virtuous concubine inherit the throne, so the old lady asked
Make preparations early and take everyone into the palace early tomorrow morning to keep a vigil for the emperor."
After hearing this, Mother Jia jumped for joy for a while. This emperor was indeed destined to our family. Every time a supreme emperor dies, their family's status will rise.
At the same time, Jia's mother thought of what Jia Ke had said to her a while ago. Judging from this meaning, Jia Ke was one step closer to that goal.
While the two of them were talking, there was a burst of noise outside. It turned out that Jia Zheng and Jia She had come to Jia Mu after getting the news.
When the two people entered the house, they first bowed to Jia Mu, and then asked the maidservants to take their seats and let others sit on either side of them.
Li Guijian sat down and hurried over to baptize Jia Zheng.
"Slave Li Gui, salute the master."
Jia Zheng naturally knew him, so he nodded, "You can serve your master well in the palace. You don't have to worry about your family affairs. I will naturally take care of you."
After hearing this, Li Gui was naturally very grateful. Then Li Gui saluted Jia Zheng again, and then said: "I would like to congratulate the master. Soon I will be granted the title of benefactor."
Jia Zheng was not very attracted after hearing this and just nodded. However, Jia She beside him was jealous and his eyes turned blue.
Seeing that the matter was done, Li Gui said goodbye to Jia Mu: "Old lady, if you have anything to do in the palace, please go back first."
Jia Mu nodded. When Li Gui saw that Jia Mu agreed, he left the room and returned to the palace.
Seeing that Li Gui had left, Mother Jia immediately asked all the maids and women in the house to go out, leaving only Jia Zheng and Jia She.
Jia Mu said to Jia She and Jia Zheng: "Go down and prepare. This time is different. Tomorrow morning, all the relatives of the whole family will follow me into the palace."
Jia Zheng naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
After they were done, Jia Mu asked them to leave.
At this time, Jia Mu was sitting there alone, thinking about today's events. The emperor left so suddenly, and it seemed that her grandson couldn't wait any longer.
But this is good, at least in my lifetime, I can still enjoy the taste of the most noble woman in the world.
