"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
In the Ganqing Palace, with the extinguishing of the candle, it was already in chaos.
At this moment, Li Xiu was like an outsider, holding the dragon body of the emperor who had lost his life in his arms. His deep eyes, which were now empty.
This day was expected and prepared.
But when it really comes, it really appears in front of you.
Li Xiu was still caught off guard.
It's like a dream, just like all this, just like an illusion.
But the coldness in the palm of your hand and the noise in your ears clearly told Li Xiu that all of this is true and unquestionable facts!
He slowly stood up, and the noise and horror in the field also disappeared at an extremely fast speed with his rise. One by one, one gaze gathered on him one after another, and... the emperor who had lost his life.
Li Xiu said nothing. He held the body of the emperor, walked step by step to the dragon collapse, and slowly lowered the body of the emperor.
Empress Zhou was already holding the little prince and sobbing helplessly, and the little prince was also helpless and looked at the ministers in the hall in a daze. He was less than two years old and could not understand what the scene in front of him meant.
"My mournful day."
Li Xiu bowed to Queen Zhou and comforted her.
At this time, Empress Zhou looked up at Li Xiu, tears were already revealed, and her eyes were full of wandering and helplessness.
Li Xiu did not comfort him any more. He looked at the wandering little prince in Queen Zhou's arms and slowly stretched out his hand.
The little prince also looked at Li Xiu in confusion. He didn't understand, but he remembered that his father always emphasized that he should listen to Uncle Li in front of him.
Driven by this thought, the little prince also stretched out his hand.
Holding his hands, Li Xiu held the little prince, just as Zhu Youjian held the little prince's hand and handed it to him.
Step by step, he reached the ministers before he squatted down and stared at the confused and helpless little prince in front of him.
Then, Li Xiu stood up and retreated step by step until the little prince stood in front of the ministers alone.
"My minister Li Xiu, please see Your Majesty!"
Li Xiu's face was solemn, and he bowed solemnly to the young master entrusted by the emperor, and shouted, which completely broke the silence in the hall.
This bow immediately woke up all the officials who were still wandering.
The ministers followed closely and paid homage to the young master!
The sudden shouting also made the young master even more at a loss. He was so scared that he took a few steps back. His panic-like eyes immediately looked at the sob Queen Zhou.
Seeing this, Empress Zhou did not care about her sadness and hesitation, so she hurriedly walked forward and supported the young master, allowing her to stand firmly in front of the ministers.
Until the worship ended, the hall returned to silence again. At this time, the eyes of the ministers immediately passed by the young master, and they all gathered on the blood-stained figure of the first ministers.
The emperor personally decided to be the only minister of the auxiliary state, the young master and the crown were the actual ruler of the Ming Dynasty before the rule.
All of this, whether they are willing to accept it or not, has become an unchangeable fact after the emperor's death.
Under the gaze of the ministers, Li Xiu slowly stood up, bowed to the young master again, and then turned around and looked at the ministers in the palace.
He looked around at each courtier in the hall in turn.
All the ministers were all attracted by their eyes.
"With His Majesty's trust, he will assist the country and the government. In the future, I hope all the officials will help each other and participate in the affairs of the country..."
After a few polite words, Li Xiu did not say much and ordered his ministers to retreat after arranging the funeral of the emperor.
And he still stayed in the Ganqing Palace.
The ministers retreated, and the eunuchs also retreated one after another under the arrangement of Wang Chengen.
Soon, in the huge Ganqing Palace, Li Xiu, Empress Zhou, the little prince, and the emperor who had lost his life were left.
Queen Zhou still couldn't hide her confusion at this moment. Even though she had been to the death for more than two years, she couldn't change much.
Now that the emperor has passed away, his son is still young, she is a weak woman who cannot help but be confused.
At this moment, Li Xiu had no intention of paying attention to Queen Zhou's confusion and fear. He silently stared at the emperor, staring at the emperor who gave him endless favors.
It is hard to describe what Li Xiu felt at this moment.
If we talk about the past, Zhongxing Ming Dynasty was just an extension of his spiritual needs after meeting material needs.
But with the ascension of the throne between him and Zhu Youjian, this extension was given a responsibility. Now, with the death of the emperor, this extension is not only the realization of his self-worth, but also a heavy responsibility.
After standing for a long time, Li Xiu slowly turned his eyes and looked at the wandering Queen Zhou and the emperor who was staring at him.
"Don't worry, Empress."
After a moment of silence, Li Xiu said slowly as if he had stated a fact:
"Your Majesty's trust will not be disappointed."
"When Your Majesty becomes an adult, I will give him a peaceful country in prosperity and prosperity!"
Upon hearing this, the confusion in Queen Zhou's eyes also dissipated a little, and she nodded: "I believe in Duke Qin."
After saying that, Empress Zhou added: "Your Majesty also said that the matters in the outer court will be decided by Mr. Qin. This palace will guard the inner palace and take good care of Brother Chun. Mr. Qin, you don't need to worry."
Hearing this, Li Xiu didn't say anything more, and after saluting the Empress Zhou and the Emperor, he withdrew from the Ganqing Hall.
As he expected, outside the hall, Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of seals of the Sili, Cao Huachun, the admiral of the East Factory, and Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyiwei, were obviously waiting outside the hall for a long time.
"Duke Qin!"
Seeing him walk out, the three of them saluted one after another. When the emperor passed away, they naturally couldn't say anything to congratulate Rongsheng. After just making some polite comments, they began to express their political attitude in a roundabout way.
Once the emperor and his ministers, the positions of the three of them were not related to whether they could do it or not. They were incompetent. Any time the emperor succeeded to the throne, their positions were destined to be replaced by the emperor's confidant.
Although the son is young today, Li Xiu, who was ordered by the emperor to assist in the country, is not young!
The destiny of entrusting state affairs is to hold all the civil servants of the outside court. If you want to move civil servants from other courts, you may have to waste some thoughts, but it is not difficult to change them to the three of them.
Of course, these are just concerns.
Li Ruolian was supported by Li Xiu with one hand. The Jinyiwei was under the control of Li Xiu, and Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen have always maintained a good relationship. Since the emperor was assassinated and his body was ill, the two had already expressed their attitude openly and secretly.
Nowadays, this relationship exists in another way.
Li Xiu naturally had no reason to refuse. When the young lord succeeded to the throne, he took power. The most important thing was not the outer court, but the fact that he wanted to maintain a coordinated and smooth relationship with the inner palace.
After all, if something happens to the outside court, he can raise his butcher's knife at all. But if something happens to the inner palace, unless he really does a turmoil in the country, any thing about the inner palace, will be a big trouble for him.
If you cannot have enough control over the inner palace, it will definitely be difficult to maintain stability when you assist the country in governing the country.
The conversation was very pleasant. With just a few words, Li Xiu gave the three people a reassurance, and at the same time he completed his first step in assisting the country in governing the country.
Stable inner palace!
Next, the second step is not how he completes it, but how the world reacts after the news of the emperor's death spread.
Although he had asked Li Ruolian and Cao Huachun to do their best to supervise this step, the world is so big!
Chapter completed!
