C582

The night before the funeral of emperor Dahang, the king of Chu finally appeared in the mourning hall. He stood in front of the emperor's memorial tablet for a long time, with his hands down and a face numb. When he stood there, the cry in the mourning hall was much lower. For a long time, he took the incense from the little eunuch, paid three respects, put it in, and went out without looking back.

The prince was talking to Zhuge Qianyu at that time. When he heard the news, he said with a smile, "the old man is still too soft hearted. He did it to make his heart feel better. However, in the eyes of others, it's just a cat crying and a mouse crying. After all, it's him who broke through the gate of the city and forced Mo Ronghan to die. Then he gave him a grand funeral. It's a joke for outsiders. It's a pity that he doesn't want to get rid of the roots. When Mo Ronghan's kids grow up, it's a disaster. He's not very talkative now, and he's hurting for the princess's affairs. I don't want to interfere too much, and I'll let him clean up slowly when the wind is calm. "

Zhuge Qianyu nodded, "it's the difference between the king of Chu and his highness that you can't do great things if you are kind-hearted. It's better to keep those little princes and get rid of them as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, sir. I've already made plans for this. I won't let those kids live to this time next year."

"Your Highness, did you tell the king of Chu the date of the grand ceremony

"Yes, he readily agreed." The prince said, "I think he also knows that it's not right for the country to have no monarch. He wants to let Gu ascend the throne earlier."

"Your Highness has frequently invited ministers these days. Can you rely on them?"

"All the old ministers who were in the past were cleared out by muronghan, and those who were in the dynasty were not important ministers. At the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic, it was impossible to rely on them. What do you think of Xiumin

Zhuge Qianyu asked, "how did your highness think of him?"

"Xiuminggui was a great scholar of the former dynasty. He fought against Bai rushen in the court. That day, he made people open the palace, and the Chu army was able to enter the Forbidden Palace. He was a meritorious minister. This is one of them. Second, his eldest daughter married the king of Chu as the side princess. Now the princess is gone. There is only one side princess in the palace of Chu. He is the father-in-law of the king of Chu. He should have this relationship Stand on your side. "

Zhuge Qianyu smoothed his beard and pondered for a while. "It's said that Xiumin's family still has a daughter to marry. Why don't your highness marry him and let Xiumin become the father-in-law of the state? That's a more reliable relationship. Marriage is the bond to consolidate the relationship between the monarch and the courtiers, which has been the case since ancient times. With the support of the courtiers, your highness can sit in peace. "

The prince was stunned for a moment, "Sir's meaning is to let Xiumin's daughter be the queen?"

"Unless your Highness has a better choice in mind."

The prince thought, "once a gentleman and a courtier, Gu originally wanted to reactivate the Huangfu family, but after Huangfu was killed, the side branch was not outstanding. In just a few years, Xiumin's disciples were numerous. At present, no one is more suitable than Xiumin, that is him. Besides, in this way, Gu and the king of Chu have become brothers and sisters. There is no stronger relationship than us. When the emperor Daxing goes to the funeral tomorrow, Gu calls Xiumin into the palace to have a good chat. "

Zhuge Qianyu said, "what your highness said is very true. The day after tomorrow will be the grand ceremony for your highness to ascend the throne. In addition, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. On the day of his accession to the throne, whether the secret guards or the personal guards are good, his highness should arrange a few more around him just in case. "

The prince promised, but he didn't take it seriously. With the king of Chu, who dares to make trouble at the ceremony?

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor's coffin was sent out from the Donghua gate. At the front of the coffin were sixty-four banners. The white banners were flying in the wind, like heavy snow. Behind them was the emperor's guard of honor. There were thousands of people, holding various weapons, banners, and "Shaohuo" made of paper or silk. It was magnificent.

Funerals are so beautiful that people can't see them in the palace. They can only be seen outside. The common people who have not been out of their homes for several days quietly stand at their own door and stand on tiptoe to watch the mighty team go to the outskirts of the city, but they don't dare to talk about it. They just make eye contact.

Xiumin is also a nostalgic person. Although he doesn't dare to attend a funeral in public, he also stands at the door of his own house like the common people, watching the emperor's coffin go away solemnly. After all, the emperor and he know each other well. Otherwise, he is still repairing books in the Wenhua hall.

As a result, before the funeral procession left Lin'an City, he was invited into the palace by the prince's people. Since he broke the city, he has been at home. He has never met the king of Chu or the prince. However, he heard that the prince had met many courtiers in private. He did not expect that this honor would fall on him. After all, he was once a red man in front of the former emperor. This time he went, it was a blessing or a curse. He was very worried.

He hasn't seen the prince for many years. When he met, he was still impressed. It seems that the prince is as gentle and noble as jade at any time.

As usual, after a few words of cold clamor, the prince came to the point and proposed marriage. According to the rules, the Empress Dowager should be in charge of the emperor's marriage, but there was no empress dowager in the palace, so the prince himself was in charge. In his opinion, this was quite new.

He was a little worried and knelt down to thank him, "I'm not talented. I'm loved by your highness. I do have daughters who stay in the boudoir. One is seventeen, and the other is fifteen. But they are both pretty and stupid. I'm afraid they don't deserve your highness..."The prince was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Xiumin to refuse. He couldn't help but sink his face. "The emperor will ascend the throne alone tomorrow, and you will marry your daughter to be the queen. You don't want to do such a good thing, but you want to ask, Xiumin's daughter doesn't even marry the emperor. Do you want to marry an immortal?"

"Don't dare," Xiumin kowtowed quickly: "I'm afraid that I'm afraid that my little girl can't sit in the palace and let the people all over the world see the joke..."

"Who dares to see Gu's joke?" the prince frowned. "Is it that the grand master doesn't want to be close to Gu? When you ascend the throne alone tomorrow, there will be many things for you to do. If you become the father-in-law of the state, you will be more honorable. Since then, you will be the first family in the world. Why not? "

Xiumin had no choice but to say, "as long as your highness doesn't dislike it, I will."

The prince got a positive reply, satisfied, personally pulled Xiumin up, "so good, after that, I have to rely on Xiumin."

Xiumin was terrified: "I will be your highness. I will devote myself to the whole world!"

"Good!" The prince laughed and promised to let him go.

Xiumin went out of the East Palace, circled in the front court, and then went to the back palace. The prince was not reliable. He had to ask the king of Chu for an idea.

When he arrived at the Zhanghe hall, he went directly from the corridor to the auxiliary hall. Ning Jiu stood at the door. Seeing him, he didn't speak and made a sign to invite him in. He was worried and went into the room with his robe.

The king of Chu was writing when he rushed in and raised his eyelids. "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

Xiumin didn't dare to make mistakes in front of him. He polited and said, "the prince just asked me to go and said that I wanted to make my servant the father-in-law of the country."

The king of Chu said, "this is a good thing. Congratulations to master Xiu."

"My Lord, I'm so worried. I still want to make a joke."

The king of Chu asked, "did you agree?"

Xiumin cried, "the prince forced the officer, the officer could not refuse."

"Yes, there's nothing to worry about."

Xiumin some don't understand his meaning: "Wang Ye's meaning is to let the next officer promise?"

"Well, don't upset him when he ascends the throne tomorrow."

Xiumin opened his mouth, seemed to understand some, arched his hand, "so, I don't want to scratch the Lord, so I'll leave."
