For Kou Zhun begging bones, the Manchu civil and military had no reaction at all.
There was not even a hint of surprise.
They all know that this is not Kou Zhun's resignation.
It's a set of etiquette for the new king ascending the throne.
As the saying goes, once the emperor is the courtier.
When the new monarch came to the throne, the old ministers naturally had to express themselves.
This expression is the bones of beggars.
Prove to Xinjun that he has no desire for power.
If the new king is tough, he can play on the spot.
If the new king is not tough enough, or is as young as Zhao Zhen, he will naturally have to stay.
Zhao Zhen had been reminded by Chen Lin long ago, so when Kou Zhun played the beggar bones, he quickly got up, ran down the imperial stage, and helped Kou Zhun up.
"No! I... I still have to rely on Aiqing to govern the country and the mountains."
"Xuan Zhao!"
Zhao Zhen helped Kou Zhun up and said with a sullen face.
Guo Huai immediately took out a volume of edict and read it out.
The content of the edict is basically the same as what Zhao Heng promised Kou Zhun before. The only difference is that Zhao Zhen added another title of Jixiange Scholar to Kou Zhun.
It's a bit of icing on the cake.
It also proved to courtiers that he cherished talents.
Of course, Zhao Zhen himself doesn't understand this.
It was decided after discussion by Kou Zhun, Liu E and others.
According to the rules, Kou Zhun should be admitted to the jue, but Kou Zhun refused.
He said that he already had the power of regent, and that he had been awarded the first rank. If he became a knight, he would be incapable of being a title. It was not appropriate.
When Guo Huai finished reading the edict, Kou Zhun bowed his hand and said, "The old ministers would like to thank the officials for their love."
Kou Zhun withdrew from the temple.
Subsequently, Xiang Minzhong, Li Di and a group of veteran officials also came out to beg their bones.
Zhao Zhen helped them one by one, and rejected their beggars' petitions, each with a seal.
Wait until the courtiers are sealed.
Zhao Zhen personally got off the imperial rank, and asked Kou Zhun to go to the imperial rank, and sat on the second step of the third-rank imperial rank, on the left.
In this way, Kou Zhun really took the regent right.
He helped Kou Zhun to go to the imperial rank. After Kou Zhun was seated, Zhao Zhen returned to the dragon chair, blinked, and said timidly: "I... Why didn't I see the edict of Jiafeng Kou Ji?"
Chen Lin dropped her head when she heard the words, not wanting to speak.
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he complained silently in his heart.
Zhao Zhen, I know you are brothers, but this scene is obviously not the time to mention this...
Hearing this, Kou Zhun gave Kou Ji a vicious look.
Kou Ji opened his hands, looking helpless.
Liu E's gaze flickered on Kou Ji, but he didn't speak.
Manchu Wenwu looked at Kou Ji with a weird look.
Xiang Minzhong pretended to leaned back in a daze, and whispered to the son behind him: "See it... This is called Jane in the emperor's heart!"
Xiang Chuanzheng nodded blankly.
"Ah..."
Kou Zhun coughed, and said dryly: "Official family, Kou Ji is young, and has been in the sixth rank. Going up, he is in the fifth rank... He has not done much to the court and cannot be awarded the fifth rank official."
Zhao Zhen was still talking. Kou Zhun was afraid that he would say something unruly, so he quickly patted Kou's bus and said in a deep voice: "The first emperor has died, and the country has been mourned for three years. The official must stand for the first emperor for forty-nine days.
During this period, the court was suspended. "
The civil and military men of Manchu dynasty all bowed and responded, "Hey..."
"Today, when the official family is enthroned, the mansion newspaper will be published and the prefectures, prefectures and counties shall be announced."
"Hey..."
"Retreat!"
"..."
The Manchu civil and military, after saluting Zhao Zhen, withdrew from the Chui Gong Hall.
Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair in a daze, watching Manchu Wenwu quietly leave.
After Liu E left the Manchu dynasty, he said to Kou Zhun: "Duke Kou, during the guarding of the mother and son of the Ai family, there will be Lao Kou in the court.
The enthronement ceremony is over, and Liu E's claim has changed.
From the palace to the mourning family.
Kou Zhun arched his hands and said faintly: "It should be so."
Liu E instructed Chen Lin: "Put on mourning clothes for the official family, and follow Ai's family to the Daqing Hall to help the first emperor keep the spirit."
Zhao Zhen got up from the dragon chair and let Chen Lin be at the mercy of him.
Seeing Kou Ji was about to push Kou Zhun away, he finally couldn't help but said, "Can you bring Kou Ji?"
Both Liu E and Kou Zhun were taken aback.
Liu E just started to refuse.
Just listen to Kou Zhun said: "As a student of the emperor, Kou Ji should help the first emperor to guard his spirit."
Kou Ji opened his mouth and declined.
Kou Zhun glared at him.
Kou Ji sighed secretly, and said, "Zunzhi..."
Liu E was very dissatisfied, but didn't say anything.
Kou Zhun moved out of Kou Ji's emperor's protégé and asked him to help Zhao Heng keep the spirit, but Liu E was not easy to refuse.
The ancients attached great importance to rules.
An apprentice is half a rule.
Kou Ji is the only student of Zhao Heng, equivalent to half of Zhao Heng's son.
He helped Zhao Heng guard the spirit, and no one could make a mistake.
It is definitely a good job for non-royal children to guard the emperor's spirit.
It is not only a recognition of identity, but also a green ladder for promotion in the future.
It can be said that Kou Ji helped Zhao Heng to save the spirit, as long as there is no problem in the future, it is inevitable to go and go.
However, Kou Ji didn't think this was a good job.
Instead, he felt that this was a hard work.
The ancients kept the spirits, and the rules were harsh to the point of heinous.
They were wearing coarse cloth and linen, eating coarse tea and light rice, and they were all cold.
And guarded in front of the coffin, for forty-nine days, I didn't sleep well.
But Kou Zhun had already decided for him, and he could not refuse to refuse.
Liu E told Guo Huai to help Kou Ji find a mourning suit to put on.
Then took them to Daqing Hall.
Daqing Hall.
The concubines of the palace knelt on the ground.
Kou Ji found Concubine Yang and Concubine Du that he had met, and he didn't know the remaining concubines.
Some are old, some are young, and there are little girls who are his age.
Liu E led Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen to the Daqing Hall. At the entrance of the hall, he found a position and asked Kou Ji to kneel.
Kou Ji didn't say anything, so he went to kneel at the gate of the temple.
Liu E took Zhao Zhen and knelt down before Zhao Heng's coffin.
Not long after, Guo Huai led a woman who was about 40 years old into the Daqing Hall.
Kou Ji looked at the woman, and roughly guessed her identity.
Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Li's.
Li entered the hall and saw Zhao Zhen, shaking all over.
But she didn't react excessively. Instead, she walked up to Liu E in a proper manner and gave Liu E a salute.
"Emperor..."
She used to be just a maid beside Liu E.
If Zhao Heng hadn't figured out a way to give birth to a child through her belly, she might not have the chance to be favored by Zhao Heng, let alone give birth to a son for Zhao Heng.
So in front of Liu E, she behaved very humble.
She has been imprisoned for many years, crying, laughing, crazy, crazy, complaining, and scolding.
All the grievances in her chest have been smoothed by time.
Now, she just wants to be with her son, even if she doesn't have any status, even if she is a handmaid, she is willing.
When Liu E saw her, his thoughts were very complicated.
Although she has imprisoned Li, she has never abused Li.
Except for Li's lack of freedom, he couldn't see Zhao Zhen, and the other treatments were far more generous than the other concubines in the palace.
She wanted Li to spend the rest of her life peacefully and comfortably, and it was best not to show up in front of her again.
It can be good for people.
Zhou Huaizheng's words before his death revealed Zhao Zhen's life experience.
The Manchu civil and military sentiments were so enthusiastic that she had to invite the Li family out to appease the officials.
Liu E slowly got up and stretched out his hand to hold Li's hand. Li's whole body shuddered and stood rigidly, allowing Liu E to hold her hand.
Liu E said calmly: "Don't call the Ai family empress from now on... The official family has been enthroned and you have been canonized as the imperial concubine. From now on, you can call the Ai family elder sister."
Li's whole body trembled, and he said with a horrified expression: "That incident... Has anyone said it?"
Liu E squeezed his fist slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Now it's known all over the city... It won't be long before everyone in the world will know..."
Li's whole body trembled and said: "Manny... Slaves... The slaves really didn't say anything..."
Liu E frowned and said solemnly: "Your son is now an official, how can you call yourself a slave? Do you want people to look down on him?"
Li hurriedly shook his head, "No... No..."
Liu E said in a deep voice, "Remember your identity, you are now the emperor concubine! Your son is an official!"
With tears in his eyes, Li nodded blankly.
"Kneel down and stand for the first emperor!"
Li quickly knelt down on the ground.
Liu E also knelt on the ground and said no more.
Zhao Zhen noticed her when he arrived next to Liu E from Li's family.
But he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but silently observed Li.
After Li's kneeling, he hesitated, hesitated, and whispered: "You... You are... You are my biological mother..."
Li's body was shocked, tears burst into his eyes.
She didn't know whether she should agree or not.
Countless times in the midnight dream, she dreamed of the reunion of their mother and son.
She dreamed that Zhao Zhen broke through the obstacles in the palace, threw herself in front of her, and called her mother.
She also dreamed that Zhao Zhen led the soldiers to kill Liu E, carrying the blood blade, walked up to her, and told her'baby is here to pick you up'.
She has dreamed of countless scenes, but she has not dreamed of this scene.
For a moment she didn't know how to respond.
The more Zhao Zhen looked at her, the more speechless she became.
Zhao Zhen stared at her for a long time, and when she saw that she didn't speak, he said seriously: "I can feel... You are my biological mother... But you have been so many years, why didn't you come to see me
Don't you like me? "
"Woo..."
Li cried suddenly.
She hurriedly waved her hands, "No... No... I didn't want to see you... I dream day and night... I dream of seeing you... "
To be honest, Liu E was by her side, and she couldn't tell Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen stared at her and said obediently: "You don't want to see me, it doesn't matter. I don't blame you... Can you hug me? Hold me like Kou Ji hugs me?"
Li was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Zhao Zhen took the initiative to get into her arms.
Li's body became stiff, and then suddenly hugged Zhao Zhen and cried loudly.
Liu E and Yang Fei didn't look good on their faces.
They raised Zhao Zhen for many years, seeing Zhao Zhen getting close to the Li family, as if something important had been taken away, their hearts were empty.
Zhao Zhen held Li and cried.
The mother and the son cried for a long time. Zhao Zhen wept in tears, raised his head, and asked: "Kou Ji said, you will be nice to me, is it true?"
Hearing this, Li nodded heavily.
Zhao Zhen suddenly burst into laughter. He stretched out his little hand, held Li's family, and Yang Fei, leaning on Liu E's arms, and said to Kou Ji at the gate of the temple: "Kou Ji, you are right. I really have three mothers. They will treat me well."
Liu E and Yang Fei were shocked when they heard the words.
They thought that if Zhao Zhen found his biological mother, he would be alienated from them and even resent them.
Unexpectedly, in Zhao Zhen's heart, they were still his mothers.
Suddenly the words of Kou Ji on the Hanging Arch Hall sounded in Liu E's mind.
She somewhat understood the meaning of those words now.
Some things, if you keep it for a long time, it is resentment or hatred.
Speak up early, and there will be less resentment instead.
There may even be unexpected surprises.
Liu E looked at Kou Ji at the entrance of the hall and beckoned, "Come here and kneel..."
Kou Ji got up, walked to the coffin of Zhao Heng and knelt down.
Liu E looked at Kou Ji and said lightly: "You are right..."
Kou Ji arched his hands at Zhao Heng's coffin, "The minister thought, this is what the first emperor would like to see..."
Liu E and Yang Fei nodded when they heard the words.
The warm confession scene dilutes the sadness of Zhao Heng's death
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen with tears on his face, but his eyes were full of happiness, and he sighed slightly in his heart.
Silly boy, you have to thank Zhou Huaizheng, and you have to thank me. If I hadn't encouraged Zhou Huaizheng to make this, maybe you would never see your mother in your life...
Nightfall.
Slowly descended.
The eunuchs and Gong E sent a simple cold meal.
Kou Ji eats like chewing wax, but Zhao Zhen eats especially sweet.
After a brief meal, everyone knelt down in the temple again.
After nightfall.
Zhao Zhen's imperial sister couldn't hold it any longer, and dozed off frequently in the hall.
Liu E asked Fei Du to take the little princess to rest first.
Du Fei agreed and took the little princess back.
The little princess was set up, she came back, and a group of people continued to kneel in the temple.
One boil is one night.
About three hours later.
Kou Ji was kneeling on the ground, dozing off with his head hanging down and eyes closed. Someone quietly rubbed against him and gave him a note.
Kou Ji suddenly woke up, turned around, but didn't see the person who gave him the note.
Kou Ji glanced around, and when no one noticed, he opened the note.
After just a glance, his sleepiness disappeared immediately.
The note reads'Three shifts tomorrow night, Royal Garden. '
Kou Ji immediately threw the note into the brazier in front of him, turning it into ashes.
"what?"
Zhao Zhen saw Kou Ji's action of throwing something into the brazier, and asked in a low voice in confusion.
Koti said dryly, "Nothing..."
Zhao Zhen nodded without further questioning.
Li, who was kneeling beside Zhao Zhen, probably guessed something. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but she didn't say it.
