Gu linchao, who was far away in the capital, suddenly had a palpitation.
Xiao Yan noticed and reached out to help him, "what's the matter with you?"
Gu linchao put his hand on his heart. Just now, there was a sudden pain. It was fast and urgent. The pain was unbearable, but it soon disappeared again.
He frowned and whispered, "it's all right."
Xiao Yan loosened his hand when he heard the speech.
At present, the gate of the capital is wide open, and the people and court officials are on both sides, waiting to welcome them into the city.
Gu linchao only brought some people into the city, while other soldiers and men guarded outside the city.
After entering the Imperial Palace, Gu Heng had long disappeared. He fled when the army came to the city and besieged the capital. Now he disappeared.
But even if he ran away, Gu linchao still asked people to read out his guilt.
Persecuting meritorious officials, deliberately provoking war, undermining the hard won stability of Daye, acquitting treason and collaborating with the enemy, and reusing them. During his reign, he did not make useful achievements for the country and the people. This time, in order to deal with the meritorious King Xiang, he forcibly recruited men into the army. The people complain about this
In the hall, there was only the voice of Xiao Yan reading Gu Heng's crime.
The courtiers hung their heads and listened quietly.
After reading Gu Heng's guilt, Xiao yanxuan suddenly took out a decree and handed it to Lord Wang, the Minister of rites. "This is the decree left by the former Emperor. Please read it on behalf of Lord Wang."
The emperor left four words to frighten all the people present on the spot.
Lord Wang was really surprised and started to look at the legacy. When he saw the content above, he calmed down.
He cleared his throat and began to read aloud.
"The imperial edict said: during Gu Heng's reign, whenever he did anything detrimental to the great cause and persecuted my son, he immediately abolished the throne, demoted to common people, and my son took over the throne..."
Almost the voice of Lord Wang fell to the ground, and the courtiers responded. They immediately knelt down and said respectfully, "please invite the new emperor to ascend the throne!"
……
At this time, King Xiang's residence was full of manuscripts and solemn atmosphere. In front of the mourning hall, Wen Zhenzhen, dressed in filial piety clothes, knelt there and handed paper money to the brazier.
Her eyes were already red and swollen with tears, and Alto Jianghua and others were silent and accompanied her.
Just then, housekeeper Wang led a man and hurried in.
"Princess, the prince is back." when he approached, the king housekeeper whispered.
Everyone looked back and saw Gu linchao behind him.
Wen Zhuo, who was still kneeling in front of the mourning hall, suddenly got up and ran towards him.
"Lord," she threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
Gu linchao stretched out his hand to hold her. A moment later, he walked to the mourning hall with a sad face. Then he lifted his clothes and knelt down.
"My son is late. I hope my mother will rest in peace." he worshipped deeply.
Seeing that he didn't get up for a long time, Wen Zhuo, kneeling beside him, had to wipe his tears and gently advised: "the empress mother is very peaceful when she leaves. Don't be too sad. The empress mother won't want to see you like this..."
Gu linchao straightened up. After a long time, he asked, "have you chosen a good day?"
His voice was very hoarse, which was very different from the previous voice, but Wen Zhenzhen only thought that he came back all the way and was tired, so he didn't think much.
"Yes, considering that this place is far from the capital and afraid of delay on the road, I chose to start tomorrow."
After the death of the empress dowager, she was to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. She was afraid of the long journey and the long delay on the road, which would damage the Empress Dowager's body, so she decided to personally send the Empress Dowager back to Beijing for burial tomorrow.
Although the Empress Dowager said not to tell Gu linchao and didn't want him to be distracted, how could she not tell Gu linchao about such a big thing?
And he didn't even see the last side of the Empress Dowager. How much remorse should he have?
So after the death of the Empress Dowager that day, she sent Wang Houde to deliver letters to the capital.
But unexpectedly, Gu linchao just came back.
"By the way, did you meet father-in-law Wang on your way back? I asked him to deliver the letter to you. It's been two days."
Gu Lin paused and shook his head. "No, he may have taken the path."
Wen Zhenzhen heard the speech and still didn't think much. He held his hand and said, "it's ok if you come back. Tomorrow, you will personally hold the coffin and send the Empress Dowager back to Beijing for burial."
She didn't know he would come back so soon, so she planned to send the Empress Dowager back to Beijing tomorrow. But since he came back, considering that there were two children who needed her milk, she decided to stay.
Gu linchao didn't think she had such an arrangement. He looked stunned and immediately nodded, "OK."
From the day when the Empress Dowager died, Wen had not closed his eyes for two nights. Seeing that he came back, he wanted to go back and feed the children, so he stood up and said, "you stay here first. I'll go back and come with you later."
In Gu linchao's eyes, he flashed and nodded, "OK."
For a moment, everyone in the mourning hall dispersed and wanted to leave space for Gu linchao.
Wen went back to the main hospital and fed the two children one after another.
When Gu Huaijin was fed, she was sleepy because she hadn't closed her eyes for two days. Unconsciously, she fell asleep.
Until a figure came in, she vaguely seemed to see Gu linchao.
Just as she was about to open her eyes, the next moment, the whole person suddenly fell down.
Someone held her in time to avoid her falling to the ground.
Seeing Gu Huaijin in her arms, he pursed his lips for a while and held the child on the couch.
Then he picked up a blanket, wrapped the whole of Wen, picked it up and went out.
When the servants in the yard saw him coming out with Wen, they didn't think much and still did their own things.
Tomorrow, the remains of the Empress Dowager will be returned to the capital. There are still many things for them to prepare.
The visitor walked out of the main yard with Wen pengpeng in his arms, and then went through the garden to the front yard.
Seeing that he was about to walk out of the house with Wen Fuzhen in his arms, Lvqiao hurried up from behind.
"Lord, where are you taking the princess?"
The visitor looked back at her and said, "the princess is tired. I'll take her out for a walk."
Green Qiao feels strange. The body of the Empress Dowager is still in the mourning hall. Even if the prince wants to take the princess out for a walk, shouldn't it be this time?
But can she guess what the Lord wants to do? He said tactfully, "Lord, since the princess is tired, let her have a rest in the house."
"It's all right. I'll bring her back in a minute." the visitor said calmly.
Green Qiao frowned, and now her doubts were even heavier.
"But..."
The visitor frowned. He was impatient and said in a deep voice, "go down."
Green Qiao saw it and didn't dare to say anything more. She was about to step back. At this time, a clever figure behind her jumped over her head and grabbed the face of the visitor.
Seeing that it was a white pear, Lvqiao was surprised and quickly shouted, "white pear, stop!" that was the Lord. Was the girl crazy?
Bai Li didn't stop. "Lvqiao, this man is not a prince at all. Go and call Wen Shizi."
