After thinking about this, the emperor called out to the outside of the palace, and the young eunuch Gao Yun ran over cautiously.

The emperor looked at him expressionlessly, and then asked: "Can I still trust you now?"

Gao Yun was shocked after hearing this. What did the emperor want to do? Was he testing himself or seeing some flaw?

But Gao Yun had an excited look on his face, "Long Live Lord treats me as high as the earth. This slave's life belongs to Lord Long Live. If you have anything to do with Lord Long Live, just give me your orders. Unless the slave dies, otherwise I will definitely do it for Lord Long Live."

.”

After hearing this, the emperor smiled and said, "In that case, come here and I have something to tell you."

Gao Yun looked at the emperor in confusion, then quickly lowered his head, knelt forward a few steps and came to the emperor.

The emperor leaned down and whispered a few words in Gao Yun's ear. This only scared Gao Yun out of his wits.

The emperor looked at him and saw that he didn't have any blame. "You should handle it carefully. Although I have no position or power now, I still have some wealth in my hands. If you finish this matter, you can take these things with me."

Get out of the palace and enjoy your life in peace."

After hearing these words, Gao Yun showed a trace of greed on his face. Finally, he kept kowtowing to the emperor and promised again and again that nothing would happen.

The emperor felt relieved and waved him to go out.

Gao Yun received the emperor's order, bowed and took a few steps back, then turned around and left the hall.

At this time, the emperor looked at Gao Yun's back and couldn't help but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The emperor had never trusted Gao Yun. As for what he had been told, he was not afraid that Gao Yun would pass it on to Jia Ke. In this matter, the interests of the emperor and Jia Ke were consistent.

Next, the emperor returned to the palace. Looking at the queen on the bed, bursts of sadness and indignation arose in his heart.

This last emperor is really not easy to be a man. He can't even protect the woman next to him.

While the emperor was lamenting and pitying himself, a maid next to the queen came over with tears in her eyes and reported to the emperor: "Long live my lord, the queen has finished dressing up. I don't know what to do next. Please give me your advice."

.”

The emperor looked at the queen lying on the bed, thinking about his outcome, and felt weak for a moment. Finally, he said: "Prepare a coffin for the queen and send it directly to my mausoleum. I have to let her and I live together in a hundred years."

Get together."

After hearing the emperor's words, the maid who asked the question immediately shed tears from her eyes, but now was not the time for her to interrupt.

After the emperor finished his instructions, he left the bedroom of Kunning Palace and went to the front hall.

When the remaining maids and eunuchs saw that the emperor had left, they followed the emperor's wishes and sent people to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inform them and ask them to prepare the coffin.

Besides, Gao Yun did as expected by the emperor. As soon as he left Kunning Palace, he turned around and disappeared into the dark night.

Soon, Li Deshan received news from the palace at the Duke of Yan's residence.

After Li Deshan read the news, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that the emperor was quite sensible. This way, their master would be saved from worrying about this matter.

After reading it, Li Deshan put the secret letter somewhere close to him, then entered Jia Ke's inner courtyard and reported it to Jia Ke.

Besides, Dai Quan finished this matter, returned to Fengzao Palace, and then cautiously entered the main hall.

The palace maid and eunuch guarding the palace gate knew that he was now Jia Yuanchun's chief eunuch, and thought that he was very favored by Jia Yuanchun, so she did not dare to stop him.

At this time, Jia Yuanchun had not rested yet. He was sitting on the throne, his face was changing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Dai Quan came to Jia Yuanchun's side gently and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, my servant has already taken care of the matter."

Jia Yuanchun suddenly woke up at this time, and then glared at Dai Quan fiercely. Only then did Dai Quan realize that he had been a little presumptuous.

When I followed the Supreme Emperor, I didn't feel anything was wrong. However, when I followed my new master, I still didn't have complete trust. So just coming to the master in such a grand and unannounced manner was a taboo everywhere.

of.

Dai Quan quickly knelt on the ground and slapped his mouth repeatedly, while begging Jia Yuanchun for mercy.

When Dai Quan was beaten seventy or eighty times and his face was swollen, Jia Yuanchun said: "You will remember this time."

Dai Quan breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, knowing that the incident was over.

"I remember this, I will never do it again in the future."

Jia Yuanchun nodded and motioned for him to get up.

After Dai Quan stood up, he came to Jia Yuanchun's side again and said, "Master, the Queen is already in heaven."

Jia Yuanchun felt extremely awkward when she heard this. Speaking of which, this was the first time she had personally ordered a murder, and the person killed was the queen.

After Zai Quan left just now, Jia Yuanchun had some concerns in his heart about what Jia Ke would do if he knew about this.

Now that Dai Quan is back, he is well-informed and knows about these intrigues, so he asked: "Is this important? If my elder brother finds out, will he be angry?"

"Please don't worry, Madam. If Duke Yan finds out, it's too late to be happy, so why should he be angry?"

"How do you say this?"

"The Duke of Yan has just taken charge of the court. How can these royal nobles rest assured? Now that I think about it, they are thinking of some conspiracy and want to go against Duke Yan. The empress has done this this time, which can be regarded as a shock to them. Besides,

This also removes obstacles for the child in the mother-in-law's womb. Even if Duke Yan knew about it, he would agree with the mother-in-law."

When Jia Yuanchun heard this, his face began to relax, as if he had let go of his worries.

"Then when do you think the emperor will make me queen?"

Dai Quan looked at Jia Yuanchun's somewhat excited face, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said: "It depends on whether the emperor is wise or not, but as long as the emperor still has some thoughts of survival, he would not dare to violate it even if he thinks about it.

The meaning of Duke Yan."

After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun felt relieved and waved Dai Quan out.

After Dai Quan left Jia Yuanchun's palace, he immediately sent someone to report today's events to Jia Ke. It was such a big event. If he didn't say hello to Jia Ke, he would end up being afraid of picking on the new master.

On the next day, the imperial court began to announce the death of the Supreme Emperor to the world.

At the same time, the Supreme Emperor's edict was issued: "I have been serving the ancestral temple for forty-five years, and I have enjoyed the country for a long time, and I have never been tired of the dynasty. How can I hate it now that I have risen!... The funeral ceremony is still the same, with the day changing to the month, twenty-seven

Clothes are released on the day, vegetarian delicacies are used in sacrifices, and folk music is not allowed to be married. Family members, princes, and feudal lords are the most important, and they are not allowed to leave the feudal territory without authorization, etc."

The general meaning is that, according to days and years, officials only need to observe mourning for 27 days. As for the common people, except that they are not allowed to eat meat, they can do whatever they want in weddings and funerals.

Of course, this was not written by the Supreme Emperor. It was written by Fan Kang, Sun Yan, Meng Ming, and Wang Chaoxin. With Jia Ke's consent, it was reported to the world.

Next, during the funeral of the Supreme Emperor, all the officials and the wives with official orders had to go to the palace to mourn the Supreme Emperor every day.

But everyone discovered a strange thing. Among the concubines in the palace, the leader was not the queen, but the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun, while the queen who was supposed to be the head of the main palace was missing.

Although everyone was puzzled, no one dared to ask. After all, everyone now knew that the world was about to change.

Jia Ke was very busy during this period. He was not only responsible for handling the funeral of the Supreme Emperor, but also responsible for approving memorials from all over the world. He was almost living in Yangxin Hall now, and the civil and military ministers were also shocked when they got the news.

Don't dare to say anything.

On the seventh day after the death of the Supreme Emperor, Jia Ge was handling state affairs at the military aircraft office with the military ministers in charge.

Suddenly, Wei Kun came to Jia Ke with an urgent message. The content was: As the news that Jia Ke led troops to force the palace had spread all over the world, a group of imperial students had begun to prepare to cause trouble in the Ancestral Temple.

Jia Ke only found out after receiving the news from Wei Kun. When he heard the news, Jia Ke was furious and originally wanted to kill all these people immediately.

But Fan Kang who was beside him stopped Jia Ke, "My lord, please be patient. These people are just clowns. There are people behind this. Now my lord has captured them all. I'm afraid those people behind them are

It won't be exposed, so it's better to let them cause a scene and expose everything that needs to be exposed, so that the lord can deal with all these people according to the plan."

"There's something wrong with what the gentleman said. We just won't arrest him this time. When we go to the Ancestral Temple in a few days, will the leaders of these people appear on their own? I think these are the ones who will appear.

The governor's head is green." Jia Ke had some doubts about Fan Kang's judgment.

Fan Kang said with a smile: "Their leaders will not show up to participate in person, but they will add fuel to the flames. As long as you observe carefully, you will be able to find out the clues. Besides, these people exchange information, wouldn't they send

Are they colluding with each other? As long as the intelligence authorities are more strict now, they will eventually show their flaws."

When Jia Ke heard this, he nodded and agreed. Then he came back to his senses and said to Wei Kun: "We must be on tight guard in the past few days and dig out the person behind this time."

When Jia Ke said this, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Jia Ke also knew that he had now been rumored to be a living Cao Cao by the people in the world. It can be seen that there are many people in the world who are dissatisfied.

In this case, Jia Ke decided to give them a hard blow this time, to shock these people and make them all shut up.

At this time, Old Meng Ming spoke, "To the Duke of Yan, I am afraid that because you are temporarily staying in the Yangxin Hall, these people thought that you had the intention to usurp the throne, so they caused trouble. I think you should go first

Move out of Yangxin Hall and give an explanation to the world."

After Jia Ke heard this, his eyes narrowed, and then he looked at Meng Ming expressionlessly.

This time, Meng Ming was so frightened that he was covered in sweat. He now felt that he was trembling in front of Jia Ke, even more cautious than when he faced the Supreme Emperor before.

Jia Ke didn't do anything to Meng Ming, but walked around the hall a few times, and then said: "Zhang Chaoxin."

When Zhang Chaoxin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, heard this, he immediately stepped forward and raised his hands and said: "My lord, this is my humble duty."

"Intensify the construction of the Prime Minister's Yamen immediately, and results must be achieved within three months."
