Chapter 885: The Queen's Funeral
After the early dynasty, Puyang Xuan returned to the Zhongshu Provincial Government Office, and many people followed.
Everyone looked at him in unison, as if they were waiting for him to give an order, no matter what kind of order, they would work together to fight the fire.
After the little official brought a thick stack of books, Puyang Xuan spoke, "This is the record of the funeral of the queen of the previous dynasty, for the reference of the funeral of Queen Cai, do you have any objections?" β
Someone whispered unfairly: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what happened last night was too strange, although there were assassins who tried to sneak into the palace to murder the emperor in the past, but they never succeeded, why did they almost succeed last night?" According to the fangding and Wuhou of the various squares around the palace, he saw a fire in the palace at night, and then the prince who was being punished could come out to supervise the country, and that Cai Guo's uncle was fake and mighty, and he made a lot of nonsense in the court! β
"Yes," someone else answered: "Xia Guan suspects that this is a conspiracy of the Cai family, intending to seek power and usurp the throne and subvert the Great Zhou Dynasty!" β
Liu Shizhong just sighed and didn't say much.
Pu Yangxuan calmly looked at the worried faces, and said in a very gentle and calm tone: "Don't panic, colleagues, my father has always been wise and martial, and he does things without leakage, since he ordered it like this, there must be his reasons." At this time, we should unite as one, stabilize the government, and make the people of the world feel at ease. β
"This ......"
A few people looked at each other, was the King of Chu so calm, was he too naΓ―ve?
Pu Yangxuan said: "The mother of the country has died, the whole country is grieving, as a child, I can personally handle the funeral for my mother-in-law, which is the last filial piety I can do for my mother-in-law." β
Liu Shizhong opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has such filial piety, which is really benevolent. The emperor is seriously injured and sick, and the crown prince is also weak, it is the time when the hearts of the subjects are the most unstable, as His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, we should unite even more! β
A few people chimed in, but a few others hesitated and worried.
"After His Royal Highness the King of Chu organizes the funeral, he will definitely be required to keep filial piety for the queen's mother, which is eaten and lived in the imperial mausoleum, far away from the imperial city...... It's good that the days are short, but it generally takes three years to keep filial piety, which is very detrimental to His Royal Highness the King of Chu! β
"Moreover, there are many funeral rules and many matters to deal with, and if there is a slight mistake, it will inevitably give the Cai family a handle and unite with the party to impeach you. Again, during the funeral, you must have no intention of dealing with the government, this step by step, is a good bureau laid out by the Cai family! β
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, you have to be vigilant, you must come up with a way to contend with the Cai family, and you must not be at their mercy!"
Pu Yangxuan smiled kindly at everyone, "Isn't it all working together?" As long as everyone is united, it is like a dam for thousands of miles, so why fear the surging flood? What is far away from the government, what is guarding the mausoleum, this is a later story, don't worry, let's do the current thing first. β
Before everyone could raise any more doubts, Liu Shizhong said loudly: "What His Royal Highness the King of Chu said is extremely true, and your colleagues should do what His Highness said." β
"That's right," someone echoed Liu Shizhong's words, "We should focus on the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and we must not mess up our positions at the moment, and we must not let the young people take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble." β
Most of them nodded their heads and decided to hold their hands for the time being, and then make plans.
Liu Shizhong said again: "However, the emperor is your father, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu still has to go and see it when he has time." β
"I see." Pu Yangxuan opened a book in front of him, "Let's start arranging the queen's funeral." β
Soon, the words in the Zhongshu Provincial Government Office reached Uncle Cai's ears.
"What is this scumbag not going to do?" Uncle Cai Guo thought it was incredible, to this point, it was impossible for this to choose to sit still, "Are you planning to wait and see?" Or do you pretend to be nothing, planning to do something secretly? β
He paced back and forth anxiously, and couldn't help but think of last night's events.
According to the original plan, Empress Cai was responsible for assassinating the Dog Emperor, and he led people inside and outside the palace to pretend to be assassins at the same time, and then the prince was still the prince after all, so he could naturally take it out and send it to the throne, and then dispose of those obsessive scumbags and old things.
Who knows, Empress Cai actually missed, but fortunately, the Dog Emperor was not happy, he was about to kill the Dog Emperor with his own hands, and when he was angry for the Cai family, the prince actually arrived and stopped him.
The crown prince did not allow him to kill the Dog Emperor, and pulled out a lot of reasons.
Okay, he doesn't kill.
But now for the same reason, to save the life of that scumbag.
This made him feel very irritable, the matter has come to this point, although the Cai family uses the prince as a puppet and can gradually grasp the power of the world, but now it is not not mastered? How many people in the DPRK and China still have different intentions with the Cai family, they can't make a wrong step, they can't afford to lose.
Uncle Cai didn't know how determined he was, so he decided not to send someone to kill Pu Yangxuan immediately.
As the prince said, all their previous actions failed, and sending someone to assassinate Pu Yangxuan would still be the result of failure, and they would be caught.
"Go," he shouted to the few people in front of him, "keep an eye on that scumbag, see what he is secretly doing, and if there is any mistake in the queen's funeral, immediately join the courtiers to impeach him for disrespecting his filial piety, and let the world see his true face!" β
The men hurried down.
"That'...... The king of Chu is going to visit the emperor......"
Uncle Cai Guo thought for a while, and now the emperor was unconscious because of poisoning, and he found a reliable doctor to see it, saying that it was very likely that the toxin would spread throughout the body within a month, and the poison would die, and it would last for forty or fifty days at most, and no matter how strong a person was, he could not resist the destruction of the toxin.
And the refining of this poison is extremely complicated, and there is no antidote in the world.
Even if a god thinks of a way, I am afraid that before the antidote is made, the emperor will have already died.
"Just let him go and see it, anyway, the dog emperor can't speak, like a living dead." Uncle Cai's words were quite arrogant and cheerful, "However, just in case, Pu Yangxuan is not allowed to approach the emperor." β
"Yes."
"By the way, hasn't Father-in-law Ning been found yet?"
"Last night, some people in the Liangyi Hall wanted to escape, but they were killed by indiscriminate arrows with fire, and their bodies were burned to charcoal, and there may be Gonggong Ning among them."
"This must be investigated." Uncle Cai Guo said, fortunately, the more powerful Geng Fang was sent out by the emperor to do errands, otherwise he would have had a headache last night.
Last night's move was actually a good time.
Everyone hurriedly responded again, wanting to reassure Uncle Cai, so that their subordinates would be less tortured.
Uncle Cai Guo snorted coldly, "Pu Yangxuan, this time we are fully prepared, sooner or later we will kill you!" β
