Chapter 1802: Queen Yun Zhao participated in court meetings.
Time passed quickly, and three days passed. The coffin of the late emperor was sent to the imperial mausoleum.
Prince Ning and Marquis Yun led the team and took these people to the imperial mausoleum.
Prince Yin, Prince Ze and others all went, and the concubines also followed to the imperial mausoleum.
Prince An and Prince Liao were placed under house arrest and were unable to visit the imperial mausoleum.
The concubines were extremely panicked. Before leaving, Concubine Duan ran to Empress Dowager Zheng's palace to ask for an audience with her.
They were all afraid that they would never be able to come back after going to the imperial mausoleum, and would then have to be buried with the late emperor.
"Your Highness, I am afraid. I am willing to serve you in your palace..."
Concubine Duan was flexible and she knelt down before Queen Mother Zheng and kowtowed repeatedly.
Yun Zhao was also there at this time.
"Your Majesty, I have offended you before. Please be magnanimous."
"Empress Dowager Duan, please go to the imperial mausoleum to bid farewell to the late emperor. After all, he was very fond of you in the past few years. As for other matters, we will talk about it later."
Hearing what Empress Dowager Zheng said, Concubine Duan felt relieved.
After seeing off the late emperor, the palace immediately became busy.
Although Xiao Jingchen and Yun Zhao did not want to observe mourning for the late emperor, this was the ancestral rule, so Xiao Jingchen ordered a mourning period of 49 days, and the people of the world had to observe mourning for three months.
Emperor Taizu had issued such an order before.
Later emperors observed mourning periods for either a year or several months.
However, the common people all observed mourning for three months.
At the meeting.
The court has not been held for several days, and the civil and military officials have many memorials to report today.
"Your Majesty..."
When many ministers saw Empress Yun Zhao sitting next to the emperor, they were stunned.
"I've met the Queen."
"Flat body."
Xiao Jingchen knew that these ministers would oppose him bringing Zhao'er to the court to discuss matters. But at this time, if he didn't give the ministers some tough measures, they would become even more presumptuous. It would be even more difficult to set rules for these ministers in the future.
So set up the rules from the beginning.
"Something's going to happen."
Eunuch Hai’s voice rang out.
Hearing Eunuch Hai's voice, many ministers quietly raised their heads and looked at Eunuch Hai.
They didn't understand why Eunuch Hai didn't go to the imperial mausoleum with the late emperor.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Hai was the chief eunuch beside the late emperor. Why didn't he follow the late emperor to the imperial mausoleum for burial?"
Hearing this, Jamel Xiao said.
"I have just ascended the throne, and there are many things I don't understand yet. Eunuch Hai, please stay with me for a few days, and then go to the imperial mausoleum to bid farewell to my uncle..."
what?
The emperor's intention is not to banish Eunuch Hai to the imperial mausoleum, but to order Eunuch Hai around?
This isn't right.
When another emperor ascended the throne, he would definitely execute the eunuch of the previous emperor or drive him out of the palace.
Why would the Emperor keep Eunuch Hai and entrust him with such an important task?
They were extremely confused.
Some people speculated whether Eunuch Hai had been bribed by the new emperor a long time ago, and that the death of the previous emperor was also related to the new emperor?
Or was it that the new emperor and Queen Mother Zheng conspired to kill the new emperor.
It would be very easy for Eunuch Hai to drug the late emperor.
Yun Zhao was also being watched by many ministers. She sat there with a cold face, but her aura was still very intimidating.
"Your Majesty, why is the Empress here during this court meeting?"
An imperial censor asked.
"I am the emperor, the empress is my first wife and the mother of the country, why can't she come to discuss matters?"
