Chapter 617 Angry or not

Although it is during the national mourning period, from the new emperor to the courtiers, no one is idle, especially the ministers, they still have to prepare for the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, from choosing an auspicious day, to embroidering the dragon robe, to the materials needed for the ceremony The preparation of various utensils, as well as the deployment of personnel... There is no room for error in any link.

Of course, the busiest ones are the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Wen Jiuxiao, who is in the Ministry of Household Affairs, is also very worried. To hold the enthronement ceremony, it will naturally cost money. To hold a grand and solemn enthronement ceremony, the money will naturally be spent. More, who let Wen Jiuxiao take care of the money bag?

  The days passed so quickly, and the national mourning on the 27th was over in a blink of an eye. After repeated requests from the courtiers, the new emperor "reluctantly" agreed to ascend the throne.

   On the day of his enthronement, the new emperor led his officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, the Taimiao and Sheji. Then the new emperor, wearing the crown uniform, ascended to the imperial throne, played music, and all the officials took their positions, and paid homage to the new emperor with big salutes.

  At the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor appointed the queen and the prince at the same time. Undoubtedly, the crown princess Zhang Wanqing became the empress logically, and the eldest son of her and the new emperor was established as the crown prince.

  As for the empress dowager and the concubine, the women of the former emperor, they had already been canonized when the new emperor ascended the throne.

  The new emperor's biological mother is the most special existence in the harem, and I don't know if she sees through the world or what, she has been closing the palace door to live her own life. Even if the prince she gave birth to later became the prince, she did not come out and walk around, and did not cause any trouble to her son.

  If the empress of the first emperor is gone, the new emperor can directly confer his biological mother as empress dowager. But there is a queen in the palace. Although her mother's family committed a serious crime, the first emperor did not abolish the queen.

  So this canonization is the two empress dowagers. The new emperor's biological mother is the empress dowager, and the original empress is the empress dowager.

   Fortunately, the mother, the empress dowager, is very knowledgeable, so she invited herself to guard the spirit of the late emperor. The new emperor was also very generous, and sent many court ladies and eunuchs to serve her.

The other concubines of the first emperor are also given special treatment by the new emperor. Those who have never served in bed are asked for their opinions. If they are willing to go out of the palace, they will be sent a sum of money to **** them home. Those who are willing to guard the spirit of the first emperor can follow the mother Together with the Empress Dowager. Those who are willing to stay in the palace will not be short of various regulations, they just need to live in another place.

   After all, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and if his women want to enter the harem, the former emperor's women have to give way.

  After the new emperor ascended the throne, the world will be amnesty, except for serious crimes that cannot be pardoned.

Yu Zhi thought of this when the first emperor passed away. When he was in Shanyun County, the county government, county schools, and shops recruited many exiled prisoners. up.

   Several of them are very capable, and Yu Zhi wants to get them to use in Beijing. After all, Shanyun County is too far away, and many things are beyond her reach, so she has to shift her focus to the capital.

  When the new emperor rewarded the royal family, he also rewarded Wen Jiuxiao by the way. He was promoted to the first rank and entered the cabinet, but he was still in charge of the household department.

  He became the youngest cabinet minister since the establishment of the Daqing Dynasty. The whole court was in an uproar, envious and jealous, but no one stood up to oppose it. One is Wen Jiuxiao's meritorious service in disaster relief, especially when he was assassinated all the way back from Jiangnan, it can be said that he risked his life. The second is that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and it is not good for a courtier to refute his face.

   "From now on, you will be Mrs. Ge." Wen Jiuxiao showed Yu Zhi wearing a new court dress, with a proud tone like a peacock spreading its tail.

  Yu Zhi laughed, and jokingly said, "Is this the legend that a husband is rich and his wife is expensive?"

   Not to mention, the new court clothes look good on him.

   "It must be!" Wen Jiuxiao affirmed, his eyes fell on her pale face, thinking in his heart that he would go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for some prescriptions for nourishing qi and blood.

  This man rarely shows off like this. Yu Zhi laughed even harder, and then encouraged him, "Keep working hard, I'm waiting to be the first assistant's wife."

  She doesn't want to curl at all, but she likes to watch other people curl! This feeling of lying down and being carried away is extremely refreshing.

  Shoufu? Wen Jiuxiao thought of the smiling old man with a tiger face. He is no longer young and should retire. Even if you don't retreat, kill him... oh no, force him to retreat, he still has the confidence.

   "Okay!" Wen Jiuxiao solemnly agreed, already planning how to "plan to usurp the throne" in his heart.

   It was not until the Chinese New Year was approaching that Yu Zhi went out for the first time to greet her mother-in-law. There was still nothing about her physical condition.

  When Madam Hou saw Yu Zhi, she stood up in shock, "You, aren't you..." Are you dying?

As if seeing what she was thinking, Yu Zhi smiled very brightly, "Mother, my daughter-in-law has recovered from her illness, and she is fine. During these few months of illness, my daughter-in-law missed her mother very much. Please greet me. Mother, daughter-in-law sees that you don't look very well, is there something wrong?" She asked with concern.

"Yes, is it?" Madam Hou touched her face subconsciously, "Recently there are many things in the house, too busy, maybe I haven't had a good rest." She showed a kind smile to Yu Zhi as if she was trying to make up for it, " Alright, alright! I'm relieved when you're alright."

  But I was very surprised in my heart. The last time I saw her, she was pushed in, and the sickness on her face was only one step away from death. How come you look like a good person in a blink of an eye? Her steps are light and her face is like a flower. Not only does she look good, but she also looks younger than before.

   Is this a person recovering from a serious illness? When she came in just now, she thought she had seen a ghost.

   Mrs. Hou knew about Yu Zhi's coma. Could it be that she didn't know that Wen Jiuxiao and his son hadn't been to the yamen for three days? She was waiting to see her daughter-in-law for the last time. Although she was rescued in the end, Mrs. Hou always thought that her life was not long. To be honest, she even quietly prepared her funeral.

   As a result... she stood in front of her pretty and alive, isn't it like seeing a ghost? She's even optimistic about the candidate for a new daughter-in-law, and she's not going to die. Do you think it's irritating or not?

"Mother, you can't do this! Ever since she got this illness, my daughter-in-law has realized the true meaning of life. Money, wealth, fame, and status are all vain, and your own health is the most important thing. You said you also Why are you clinging to the power of housekeeping when you are old? Wouldn’t it be better to take care of your life earlier? How nice it would be to let your sister-in-law share your worries!”

Mrs. Hou was unhappy, but she still had to pretend to be happy. What's even more annoying was that the old three's sticks were as usual, they couldn't read people's faces, and they talked a lot, but they couldn't talk about it... Mrs. Hou didn't Knowing how many times he was stabbed, he could barely maintain the expression on his face afterward.

  Yu Zhi doesn't care whether Mrs. Hou is happy or not, anyway, she thinks that her first appearance after recovering from her illness is perfect, how many people have been stunned by her journey?
