Chapter 76 Unexpected

As expected of a soldier in his previous life, Zhao Tu chose his 'position' very well. It is directly opposite the main entrance of the imperial city. Walking about a hundred steps north from the corridor and the Heng Gate inside and outside the gate, there is a horizontal gate. This is the prime minister.

The deputy prime ministers dismounted and entered the office. Others working here were the officials of the Yushitai. However, after they dismounted, they had to walk back to the Wende Hall; the Daqing Hall in the East Corridor has an eastward side.

Gate, Zhongshu, behind the gate, is the office of Xiuguo History Academy. There are East and West Streets in front of the palace. Going east is called Donghua Gate, and going west is called Xihua Gate. If you go through this gate, you are forbidden.

Soldiers from various divisions such as Zhi Province, Yu Yao, Zhi Province, Yu Yao, Act, Kuai Xing, Personal Subordinate Officer, Chariot Officer, Chariot Courtyard, Huang Courtyard, etc. are all here waiting for orders. This land is exactly

He is the only way to pass through the office complex of various central government departments. People inside and outside can see him from a distance. Anyone who wants to go to court or go to work has to walk in front of him. It is a treasured Feng Shui place for petitioning for grievances.

Several of the gangsters were looking toward the palace city while quickly setting up a mourning shed. It was their first time building a mourning shed in front of Xuande Tower, and they couldn't help but feel nervous. They were worried that a few people would rush out and kill the deceased.

They were cutting it, but as the old saying goes, "People die for money, and birds die for food." These people with unknown origins paid a high price, and one operation was enough to last them a year, so they gave it a go!

Zhao Tong was lying on the ground with his butt sticking out. There was a white cloth on the ground. He was writing an elegiac couplet with a large brush in his hand. Who made him forget to find a cultural person? Now he can fight with these people, and he can't write at all.

He couldn't point it out. Although he himself had not officially entered school, he was the most educated among them. He thought about it for a long time and finally remembered the elegiac couplet. With a wave of the brush, large characters one foot square appeared on the cloth. After writing,

The last line was hung up quickly by the guys. The first couplet was "Unforgettable kindness, always remember kindness." The second couplet was "The spring glory has not been repaid, but the winter snow has added sorrow." The horizontal line was "Fragrance will last forever."

"Tsk, tsk, this kid is not old, and the writing of this character is really unique!" The man who set up the funeral shed had seen a lot, and couldn't help but praise when he looked at the words on the elegiac couplet.

"Humph, damn, you guys are smart. Although my imitation Song font is not as good as our political commissar, it is still the second best on the farm. As for the inventor of this font, Qin Hui, I guess he is still studying somewhere at the moment.

I'm preparing to take the No. 1 exam!" Zhao Tao squinted at them and said secretly. The People's Liberation Army is a combat team and a propaganda team. They write wherever they like. His big calligraphy was practiced at that time, but it looked okay from a distance, so he couldn't take a closer look.

I had no choice but to show my shame today, and I didn’t care about being laughed at!

"You're still waiting to see the fun, take the money and leave quickly, you won't be afraid of losing your head!" Xue Bao said, throwing a few cards to the guys.

"Gentlemen, the young ones can do all kinds of things, such as setting up weapons, crying for souls, and making excuses. You can still greet those who can use them." These guys are really capable, and they have caught up with modern one-stop services.

, why did they do the plenary meeting? Seeing that they were given a lot of money, they immediately started soliciting business. But when Zhao Tao put the spiritual tablet on the table, they saw that it clearly read 'The God of the Great Song Jinghe Queen', and they were organizing the funeral for the queen.

, this job was too big for them to bear, so they immediately shut up and ran away!

Such fuss in front of the palace gate had already alarmed the gatekeepers in front of the palace. They didn't know why they were still watching, but as soon as the funeral shed was set up, they immediately understood that they wanted to hold a funeral here.

, report to the leadership office on duty immediately. What time is it now? It is an emergency period for the Queen's funeral. Someone dares to cause trouble at the palace gate. The commander on duty does not dare to neglect and immediately orders the leader of the capital to come out and arrest the person.

"Stop, don't take another step forward!" He was still a few steps away when he was stopped by a big man with his head straight.

"Hey!" This man's head and nose were not crooked with anger. He was more arrogant than him. He waved his hand and asked his soldiers to prepare to arrest him.

"Mom, why did you leave me alone? Now the dogs we have in front of our house dare to bite me. Mother, please take me with you so that you don't leave me alone and let others bully you."

I was shocked. This man is so arrogant and his children are not cowardly. He dares to call our palace a dog. Who doesn’t know that we are the emperor’s guards? He is a cautious person, and he is more cautious this time.

, walked around to the spiritual tablet and took a look, and couldn't help but take a breath, holy shit, they are here to pay homage to the queen. Since he called the queen his mother, why didn't he go in? He couldn't be the queen's illegitimate son, right?

"Brother, who is this kid?" They all thought of this, and they had to be more careful when it came to royal 'secrets'. He leaned to the side and asked Pan Long who stopped them.

"Go away, this is the dignified second prince, Prince Yan of the Song Dynasty. Are you calling the child that random name?" Pan Long saw that the prince was crying miserably and was in a bad mood, so he pushed him and cursed.

"Ah?!" A bunch of people were dumbfounded. It was just right for the prince to pay homage to the queen. Fortunately, he didn't do anything, otherwise it would be his turn to have a funeral tomorrow. You can cry wherever you want. It won't be your turn no matter what.

It's not up to you to take care of it, so report it as soon as possible. These people came and left even faster. They all hid inside the palace gate and secretly stared outside.

Everyone reported to the commander, but the commander did not dare to make the decision upon hearing this. He immediately reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and everyone knew that Yang Jian was aware that this matter was the emperor's housework, and he was in charge. "Why, he didn't leave, he is still at the palace gate.

A funeral shed was set up outside!?" After hearing this, Yang Jian felt a pain in his head. Was this child born to Concubine Zheng? How could he be so stubborn like the Queen?

"Everyone knows, what do you think we should do? Prince Yan was crying and making a fuss at the door. When the ceremony is over, everyone in the court and the military will soon know about it. You can't hide it. You have to make up your mind!"

Xiao Huangmen, who believed in it, was his confidant and said with concern.

"They know what they can do. The key is the officials, so how can they explain it?" Yang Jian, worthy of being a leader for many years, immediately grasped the key point of the problem, "Go and ask Liang Shicheng to come here, and say that I have something to talk to him about."

Discuss!" He ordered after thinking for a moment.

Liang Shicheng was quickly invited. The two of them murmured in the room for a while, then came out holding hands and smiling, as if nothing had happened, and went to attend the burial ceremony together. The emperor is troubled now, and they need them most.

Come on, Xiao Huangmen ran to the palace gate and told the soldiers that they were still saying, 'They are not allowed to enter the palace without an oracle'!

"One hour!" At this time, Baozhang's long sound of chiming the time came from the leaky room, and mournful music suddenly sounded. Of course, it was not the current funeral march. Zhao Yu couldn't understand what it was, but it just sounded miserable and made people feel sad.

I couldn't bear to cry. The coffin was about to be covered and nailed. According to the rules, it was the last time. The master and the housewife should lean on the coffin and weep all the time. Suddenly, the whole palace was filled with cries, real and fake, loud and quiet, men

The women, after the kiss, burst into mourning and cried as hard as they could.

"Mother, I can't fail to fulfill my filial piety at your bedside, let alone see you for the last time. How unfilial." Zhao Tong grabbed the ground with his head and burst into tears. He looked grief-stricken, "Queen, I and I are unfilial."

You have never met me, you are heartless and have no identity. You have not even said a word to me. You did not say a kind word to me when I was kicked out of the palace. Now I am crying for you so hard. Please protect me in the future and don't let your son

Make trouble for me." As he cried, he did not forget to communicate with the king and queen in the shadows to discuss terms.

A set of complicated rituals ended, and it was almost noon. Zhao Tong's voice was hoarse from crying. Jianxi and the guards were wiping their tears to persuade them. The Dianzhi sergeants hiding in the doorway were also sighing. His filial piety made these people

They were all moved.

At this time, the palace door opened again, and some people came out one after another. Those who could be in the palace were all fifth-grade or above. Those petty officials could only suffer from the cold outside the palace. Now it is finally over, and the emperor does not care about food.

, were all ready to go home. As soon as they went out, they suddenly saw a memorial shed at the door. After asking about it, they found out that Prince Yan had been crying here for a long time. They immediately felt balanced. Even though they were young officials, they could still be in the palace.

I cried a few times, but I was treated better than the prince. No matter how much I asked, I felt uncomfortable. Everyone knew about King Yan leaving the palace, but now that the queen has died and the child has come back for the funeral, he is not even allowed to enter the gate.

, it was a bit unreasonable, and everyone was talking around him for a while.

Zhao Tong was so angry at this time. Just now I was crying so hard that none of you came out. Now that I am tired, you are here to watch. Come on, keep crying. So Zhao Tong changed from sobbing to howling.

While crying, she complained about the deep love between mother and son, but failed to fulfill her filial piety before the bedside. When seeing her mother off for the last time, these people soon learned from the rumors that it was Yang Jian who blocked the prince from the door, and they immediately left with slumped heads.

Don't even dare to fart.

"Damn it, you don't even have this sense of justice. It seems that the Song Dynasty is really doomed!" Looking at people leaving one by one, Zhao Tao sighed. He never expected that people's hearts would be like this. He

He collapsed on the ground in frustration, half tired and half disappointed with the officials.

"Prince, take a rest!" Jianxi looked at the prince and said distressedly.

"Well, has the news been sent to the empress?" Zhao Tong stood up, lit the incense stick again, and asked in a low voice.

"I have already found an acquaintance to pass the news in. The imperial concubine should already know it!" Jianxi replied softly.

"Guan family, why don't you let Tong'er go back to Beijing for the funeral?" In the back hall, Zheng Hongmei had just sat down when she got the news that her son had gone to Beijing for the funeral and was blocked outside the palace gate, and she asked with suppressed anger.

"What, Tong'er didn't come back?" Zhao Ji asked in surprise, as if he was very surprised.

"Why don't the officials know about it? He went to court twice and asked to go back to Beijing for the funeral, but he didn't get the order. Today is the day of the funeral. He was anxious to see the queen, so he hurried into Beijing, but was stopped outside the palace gate.

, are not allowed to enter the palace to pay homage!" Although Zheng Hongmei was surprised, she felt even more desolate in her heart. Her father didn't even know that her son had not come back, and he didn't seem to care much. It was obvious that he had forgotten about his son.
