From that night to the next day, the entire palace and the imperial capital were very busy. It was so busy that one could sense that something was wrong and knew that something big must have happened.

A person with good eyesight and low status.

Already very knowledgeable, he began to stay behind closed doors.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the news of Emperor Jin'an's death could no longer be stopped and spread completely.

The imperial capital has also been under martial law.

All people are not allowed to go out.

Only officials and nobles can go out and enter the palace.

At this time, the queen and the prince and others had joined forces to stabilize the palace inside and outside. The other princes had no time to prepare because things happened so quickly. If they wanted to rebel and force the palace, they had no time to contact the manpower and troops.

So after weighing it for a long time, I had no choice but to give up.

The other officials were similar and could only give up the idea of ​​seizing the direct line and temporarily recognized that the crown prince would inherit the throne.

However, recognizing the prince does not mean that they will not delve into the death of Emperor Jin'an, especially the way the queen and prince stopped everyone, not allowing officials or other princes and concubines to have a look at his majesty's remains.

It even made them feel that something was fishy.

Feeling quite dissatisfied.

Some people even began to suspect that there might be another reason for His Majesty's death, that he might have been killed by them.

As the situation became more and more out of control, no matter how much the queen wanted to cover up the reputation of Emperor Jin'an after his death, she was unwilling to let herself and her son be saddled with rumors of suspected regicide. Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, she could only

He will spread the news to others, and at the same time, there are a few people and Prince Zongzheng who are relatively famous among the officials and the clan, and others will believe their words.

He took only a few of them to see Emperor Jin'an.

And then naturally, the princes and concubines outside were talking a lot. Those people inside who saw the remains of Emperor Jin'an took a breath and asked in great surprise why it was like this. The queen and the prince had not had time to investigate in depth at this time, so

It is difficult to give any explanation, but this remains is obviously not suitable for public disclosure.

The few people who were invited in and allowed to see the remains of Emperor Jin'an were not stupid, and they quickly nodded in understanding.

Go out to appease other officials, princes and concubines.

By the way, Ding Yun is among them.

If there was a queen mother in the palace, of course it would be best to invite the queen mother to see the remains of Emperor Jin'an and then comfort the concubines and maids. But there was no one in the palace. After thinking about it for a long time, the queen could only think of inviting the ancestors.

If the imperial concubine comes over, it should have the same effect.

Ding Yun, the noble concubine, Zongzheng of the royal family, two prime ministers, a duke, and a grand master united to express to the outside world that there was no problem with the death of Emperor Jin'an.

There is no doubt, it is an accident.

If you don't want to admit it when there are so many people waiting, you can only accept it, and most people have already guessed it by now.

The cause of His Majesty's death may not be so bright.

It's just that it's hard to tell the secret, and it can't be said.

But no matter what, the conflicts basically subsided, and everything went according to procedure. The death knell began to be sounded, the mourning began, and the national mourning was arranged according to procedure.

The imperial mausoleum must also be repaired as soon as possible.

Use labor force to repair.

Emperor Jin'an never thought that he would die so early, so although the construction of his imperial mausoleum began more than ten years ago, he was not in a hurry to repair it. It was only half completed at this time. If it had been repaired at the past speed.

Then his coffin would have to stay in the palace for more than ten years.

Of course this is not possible.

So you have to seize the time and fix it quickly.

Even if the cultivation cannot be completed within forty-nine days, it must be completed within a year and a half anyway, otherwise it will take too long, and I am afraid it will not sound good if I say it out loud.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Ding Yun, and there is no need for her, an elder who is several times senior than Emperor Jin'an, to attend the wake. After attending the ceremony, all the noble officials, all the wives, and the Queen and the Crown Prince themselves had to attend.

He didn't appear again after the mourning ceremony.

All you have to do is stay in your own palace and observe the filial piety of the country.

This is also authorized by the Queen and the Prince.

The queen and the prince even specially hired a few imperial doctors to guard Ding Yun's palace, fearing that something might happen to Ding Yun. After all, the centenarian ancestor Rui in the palace would be tortured to death because he had to attend the funeral of Emperor Jin'an.

, not only did they not know how they would be scolded, it would also have an impact on Emperor Jin'an's reputation.

In addition, Emperor Jin'an's death was not particularly honorable, and even the cause of death was difficult to disclose to the outside world. In the end, the queen and the prince simply sent back all the old wives and concubines over sixty years old.

Those who were pregnant and weak were also sent back.

Quan should be praying for Emperor Jin'an.

Because of this, the state funeral was held quite peacefully this time. Although many ministers and nobles, including the married woman, were tortured, at least no one died. Privately, they still spread the news that the empress was kind, the prince was kind, and he must be a benevolent king, etc.

Look, how easy it is for the superior to show kindness.

It would be a great favor to help his family not to mourn.

After the national mourning is over, there is a fixed process of the prince's enthronement, and the benevolence to the world, the prince's concubine is promoted to the queen, the queen is promoted to the queen mother, other concubines are promoted to the dowager concubines, etc.

Ding Yun, on the other hand, has no chance of promotion.

There has never been an example of a later emperor helping a concubine of his ancestors to be rehabilitated. Therefore, after the new emperor ascended the throne and changed his title to Ronghua, he could only add some honorary titles and treatment to Ding Yun, but his status remained unchanged.

And she was allowed to continue living in Ci'an Palace.

His mother moved to Cining Palace.

Anyway, these two palaces are either for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, or for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. Now they don't have a Queen Mother here, so it doesn't matter if they continue to live in it.

But once there is another empress dowager or something like that.

I'm afraid this will be troublesome.

After all, no matter how senior Ding Yun is, she is only a concubine, not an empress. She does not live in Ci'an Palace as a matter of course, but only with the emperor's permission.

This was also before the original person died.

The main reason why I still have regrets about this.

…

With Emperor Rong Hua completing the canonization and the amnesty for the world, the rotation of the throne was completely completed. Only then did the new Queen Mother and the new emperor have the time to secretly start an in-depth investigation into what Emperor Jin'an did before his death and what he did.

Is there any secret behind the collapse?

But because the investigation was conducted secretly, and the insiders at the time were involved, a group of them were eliminated.

At the same time, Emperor Rong Hua had never thought about refining elixirs, so it was quite difficult to investigate.

Until he looked through the late emperor's daily life records.

Then it was discovered that Qihe Zhenren also died suddenly.

Then I remembered that only these alchemy masters seemed to be talking about it, maybe it had something to do with being struck by lightning, and then I found the remaining alchemy priests.

Ask them what they said to the late emperor in the end?

Does the death of the late emperor have anything to do with them?

And why did Qihe Zhenren suddenly die suddenly?
Chapter completed!
