She Doesn’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

   Chapter 681

  Li Qiong comes to see Mr. Zhu and Hua Manman almost every day, want to see if they are awake?

  However, three days later, the two of them are still sleeping.

  It seems that there is no sign of awakening at all.

   To make matters worse, battle reports kept coming from the front. The rebels led by the regent Li Ji were attacking the city all the way, like a broken bamboo, and approaching Tianjing.

  Li Qiong was anxious, and he had to pretend to be calm and composed, trying his best to stabilize the hearts of the people in Chaozhong.

  In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the emperor had a funeral.

   Funeral is a major event, even if the enemy is present, this matter cannot be omitted.

As the prince, Li Qiong must stand up and preside over the overall situation at this time.

  He suppressed the anxiety in his heart, put on the luxurious and solemn dress, and led the officials to **** the emperor's coffin out of Beijing.

  The entire city was under martial law, and the people were ordered to stay at home and stay behind closed doors.

  The long streets are quiet.

  The funeral procession moved forward slowly.

  The harem concubines, civil and military officials who were accompanying them all cried heartbreakingly, dimly.

  You don't care what they think in their hearts, even if they are squeezed at this time, they have to squeeze out tears to show their loyalty to the emperor.

  The place belonging to the emperor has long been reserved in the imperial tomb.

  After a series of tedious procedures, the emperor’s coffin was buried in a tomb. The tombstone was inscribed by Prince Li Qiong himself, and the emperor’s posthumous name, name, and the year and month of his death were written on the tombstone.

  After all the ceremonies are over, everyone exits the mausoleum.

  The mausoleum was closed and completely locked.

  Today’s weather is very bad, dark clouds in the sky are heavy, and the air is very sultry, as if there is a heavy rainstorm at any time.

   Just like everyone's mood at this time.

  The emperor is dead, the prince is still young, and the regent is watching him.

  I don’t know how long this great Zhou Dynasty can last?

  Li Qiong returned to the palace in a carriage.

  Obviously the body is exhausted, but the mind is still thinking about things.

  He first went to see Mr. Zhu and Hua Manman, and was very disappointed to see that the two had not regained consciousness.

   Then he called in the prime minister and asked how the counter-insurgency was going.

Although Mr. Zhu said that he could use Hua Manman’s identity to threaten Li Ji’s surrender, this approach was too deceitful, especially after hearing what Hua Manman said, Li Qiong was stimulated and did not want to use a woman. As a shield.

  Finally, according to the original plan, he sent an veteran general to counter the rebellion.

  To be on the safe side, Li Qiong almost mobilized all the people in his hand this time, hoping to take advantage of the number of people to take Li Ji in one fell swoop, and no longer give him a chance to comeback.

  Legal report from Prime Minister Zuo.

  "The counter-insurgency army is still on its way to the front line. It will take about five days to confront the rebel army. Please stay calm and restless."

  Right Prime Minister continued.

   "Now that the first emperor has died, but the country cannot be ruled out for a day. The courtiers are waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and hope that His Royal Highness will succeed as soon as possible, so as to stabilize people's hearts."

  Li Qiong was trained as a prince since she was a child, and she naturally knew the rules of succession.

  He could not directly agree, but put on a humble appearance, saying that he was still sad for the death of his father, and he had no intention of thinking about anything else for the time being.

  The two prime ministers on the left and right began to offer comfort.

  Li Qiong never let go.

  Until the next morning, the two prime ministers on the left and right, led by the civil and military officials, knelt at the door of the Prince's Mansion, begging the Prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

  Li Qiong repeatedly refused, but was forced to agree.

  This harmonious picture of the monarch and his ministers was recorded by the historian, and it will be recorded in the annals of history in the future and become a good story.

The new emperor’s mian clothes were made long ago, and the size was very suitable. The things needed for enthronement were all ready for a long time. As long as Honghe Temple chose an auspicious day, Li Qiong would be able to enthrone the throne. .

  Everyone in the palace is very busy with this.

  The queen mother suddenly found Li Qiong at this time.

  She came this time to remind Li Qiong of something.

   "Your father and emperor have been buried, shouldn't the imperial concubine Zhen also go out of the palace?"

  Li Qiong was unwilling to send his mother and concubine away, but he had promised it a long time ago. He can't go back, and can only accept it unwillingly.

   "Thank you, the emperor's grandmother, for reminding that grandson will send her mother and concubine out of the palace tomorrow."

The Queen Mother said: "Looking at the weather today is still early, and the weather outside is pretty good, you don't have to postpone it until tomorrow. Let's send the people out today. When they are sent away, you can concentrate on preparing for the throne. "

  Li Qiong was very annoyed in her heart. Why is the imperial grandmother so unfeeling that she would not even allow for a day's time!

  He pursed his lower lip: "The imperial grandmother's words are reasonable, and the grandson will make arrangements."

  The purpose was achieved, and the queen mother left with satisfaction.

  Li Qiong put aside his things and went to Yufu Palace in person.

  He looked at the plainly dressed mother and concubine, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he hadn't said a word for a long time.

  Finally, the imperial concubine Zhen spoke first.

   "The palace knows what you want to say. It is the palace's own choice to go to the temple for meditation. You have done your best to do your best, and you don't need to blame yourself for it."

  The more she said that, the more ashamed Li Qiong was.

  He knelt down, bowed his head solemnly.

  "Today, it was because of the incompetence of the son that the mother and concubine suffered such grievances. It is the son's unfilial piety. When the son is stable in the future, he will definitely pick you back as soon as possible so that you can enjoy your old age as the queen mother."

  The imperial concubine Zhen stretched out her hand to help him up.

  She bent down and personally helped him pat off the dust on his clothes.

  The movements are very proficient, as they have done countless times.

  She smiled gently and said: “What will happen in the future, no one knows, this palace does not ask too much, just ask you to promise one thing,”

  Li Qiong hurriedly said: "You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely try my best to do it for you!"

  Zhen Guifei: "The maid named Hongdou should still be in your hands, right? My palace hopes you will let her go."

  Li Qiong was stunned.

  He never expected his mother and concubine to make such a request.

   But thinking that red beans are the truth of the flower, Li Qiong quickly understood the mother concubine's thoughts.

  He couldn't help asking: "The mother concubine has already known that the red bean is the Princess Regent's business, right?"

  Zhen Guifei's expression is very calm.

  As early as when Li Qiong came to her to find out whether Hua Manman had come back to life, she had already guessed that Li Qiong might have known the true identity of Hongdou.

  What Li Qiong said at this time was just a further confirmation of her guess.

  The imperial concubine Zhen said unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter who she is."

  Li Qiong: "Why is it unimportant? She is Li Ji's wife. Li Ji has now risen in rebellion. If I let her go, it would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"

  Zhen Guifei: "Then what do you want to do? Use Hua Man Man as a hostage to force Li Ji to surrender?"

  Li Qiongshui did not say anything at the beginning.

Concubine Zhengui slowed down, and softly persuaded: "Man Man is Li Ji's inverse scale, whoever touches it will die. If Li Ji knows that you have impounded Man Man, he will not only surrender, he will quickly attack the sky regardless of the price of land. Beijing."

  Li Qiong gritted his teeth and said: "If he dares to break into Tianjing, I will kill his wife!"

Concubine Zhen: "If Li Ji is a mad dog, Manman is the chain that locks him. Once you cut the chain, the mad dog will completely lose control. Then he will take the entire Tianjing city to bury him. "

  Li Qiong said angrily: "He dare?!"

  The imperial concubine Zhen looked at him calmly.

  Facing the eyes of his mother and concubine, Li Ji's brain quickly cooled and calmed down.

  He thought of Li Ji's behavior. This person has always been moody, doing whatever he wants, just trying to be happy, never caring about other people's feelings, so arrogant and overbearing is unbearable.

  Things like slaughter the city are difficult for others to do, but it is not necessarily on Li Ji.

  He was born a evil star, with countless blood on his hands.

  Killing is just commonplace for him.

  Li Qiong said slowly: "Thank you for the reminder of the mother concubine, I will not spend a lot of time until I have a last resort."

   Zhen Guifei: "You should let her go."

  Li Qiong wanted to say impossible.

  Flower Manman is his trump card and an important weapon he uses to deal with Li Ji.

  Unless Li Ji dies, it is impossible for him to let the flowers go.

  But rationally told him that these words can not be told to the mother concubine, otherwise she must find a way to save Hua Manman and leave.

  So Li Qiong pretended to be submissive and responded happily.

"Well, she is the concubine's sister and my aunt. I will definitely not harm her. I will have a good talk with her when I look back. If she can promise to help Li Ji to retreat, I will let her go. ."

  He said it sincerely and reasonably, Concubine Zhen believed it to be true and smiled comfortedly.

   "So, my palace is relieved."

  In the afternoon of the same day, the imperial concubine Zhen was sent out of the palace by a carriage to the temple outside the city.

  When the Queen Mother learned of this, a big rock in her heart fell to the ground, and her mood became much more relaxed.

  What if the son of the imperial concubine becomes the emperor? Wasn't it dingy and kicked out of the palace in the end?

  In this palace, the most noble woman is always the only one.

  No one can pass her!

  Five days later is the auspicious day selected by the Hongxu Temple.

  Li Qiong put on the luxurious diadem that represented the emperor on this day, and under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials, he slowly climbed the stairs and sat on the supreme throne.

  The officials knelt down and stopped, Shanhu Long live.

  He was wearing a heavy crown on his head, the curtain of beads fell down, and he looked down, and he saw the figures of courtiers kneeling on the ground.

  This is the first time he is so high, and it is the first time to look down on sentient beings from this angle.

  At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of trance.

  As if he was already standing on the top of a mountain, everything in the world was nothing but ants crawling at his feet.

  No wonder everyone wants to be emperor, no wonder so many people are desperate to gain power.

  This feeling of being in power is really fascinating.

  Li Qiong spoke slowly.

   "All the love is flat."

  After a rustle of cloth rubbing, the civil and military officials stood up.

After    ascended the throne, it was the canonization of the front harem.

  This is a link that everyone loves to hear, and the hall is filled with joy.

  But at this moment.

  An emergency report was sent in and handed over to Li Qiong.
