Chapter 195: The Death of the First Emperor

The change of imperial power at this time was far less tense than the situation of the Renchen Palace change ten years ago. You should know that when the palace changed ten years ago, the inner guards in the palace were almost completely killed or injured, and more than half of the Yulin Guards were killed or injured. At that time, only one color was left in the entire imperial city.

Even when Emperor Taikang knelt in front of Emperor Chengde, Li Xin and others did not stop. At that time, Li Xin did not close his eyes for two or three days, and was busy inside and outside the capital. In addition, the Ye Family Town was in the market, so he barely controlled the situation.

But now it’s very different. Most of the three imperial guards in the capital are in the hands of the Xie family. Xiao Zheng is in charge of the inner guard in the palace. Xiao Zheng has no reason to betray His Highness the Crown Prince. Moreover, the crown prince and Li Xin are in charge of the imperial guards in the capital, so no problem can occur.

Because there is no other force, it can threaten the prince.

Therefore, after Emperor Taikang passed away, although the atmosphere in the capital was still tense, all links were proceeding in an orderly manner. After three days of kneeling in Weiyang Palace, the prince successfully ascended the throne in front of the emperor's spirit and became the fourth emperor after the Great Jin unification of the world.

After ascending the throne, even if he is the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, as for the formal throne ceremony, it is a matter of icing on the cake and does not affect the overall situation.

After all, the purpose of the throne ceremony is to worship God, but in fact, who is the emperor on earth is, whether God knows it or not, it has no big impact.

After the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days. Of course, no one in the capital will have the intention of celebrating the New Year at this time. From Yonglefang to the capital, all the buildings are plain white. Walking on the streets of the capital, you can occasionally hear the crying sounds from nearby houses.

Many of these ordinary people are mourning the emperor sincerely, because the etiquette and rules of this era are placed here, and many people really regard the king as their father. Moreover, Emperor Taikang has not only not done anything bad for the last ten years, but the lives of the people in the capital are much better than those during the Chengde period. Naturally, everyone misses such a good emperor.

It is predictable that if there were any tyrant monarchs in the Great Jin Dynasty in the future, there would be no one at that time that said, "I still remember the wise men of Zhaojing back then."

The funeral of Emperor Taikang was going on in an orderly manner. Officials from the Ministry of Works put the last handful of land on the imperial tomb and completed the "Tai Mausoleum" that had been under construction. People from the Ministry of Rites also discussed the temple name and posthumous title of Emperor Taikang. The temple name Xuanzong, and the posthumous title was the character "Jing", which is Emperor Jing of the Great Jin Dynasty.

However, the Chinese New Year is about to celebrate, and after the beginning of the New Year, the new emperor will change the era. At this time, the Ministry of Rites is still discussing the "year name" after the change, but there is no result.

These things have nothing to do with Li Xin. He is now in Kunde Palace in the palace and meets Empress Xie, who has been "upgraded" to become the empress dowager.

This Kunde Palace has always been the residence of the empress dowager. The former Empress Dowager, the current Empress Dowager, was a very law-abiding person. After the new emperor ascended the throne, she moved out immediately and gave the palace to Empress Dowager Xie.

Li Xin stood in front of the pretty young empress dowager with his hands down and said in a deep voice: "Empress dowager, the empress dowager has many doubts, and not to mention anything else, the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain must give the court an explanation, otherwise this matter will not be over!"

When Emperor Taikang passed away, he was only in his thirties. It was the time when a man was most energetic. Li Xin didn't believe in destiny. In this matter, the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain had to be investigated from beginning to end.

Empress Dowager Xie was only in her thirties and lost her husband. Naturally, she couldn't feel good. She first glanced at Li Xin, then asked, "What should Taibao do?"

"I ask the court to issue an order to thoroughly investigate this matter. I will lead the Yulin Guard out of the capital and go to Longhu Mountain in person. Even if this Taoist holy land is pushed to the sky, I will still find out the truth!"

The reason why Li Xin investigated this matter was that there were indeed many doubts in it, and it was impossible not to ask about it. Secondly, His Highness, the former King of Wei was his friend, and his friend was unknown. Whether he was a minister or a friend, he had to ask what he wanted to do.

Queen Mother Xie frowned.

"Marty Li is not suitable to leave the capital at this time?"

The new emperor had not ascended the throne for a few days, and he had not even completed the throne ceremony. It was far from the time to hold the throne. Who could leave Kyoto at this time, but Li Xin, the general of the Imperial Army, could not leave Beijing. Empress Dowager Xie saw this clearly in her heart.

She said slowly: "The matters in Longhu Mountain are naturally to be investigated, but you can't hurry up. Moreover, you can't go out to Beijing to investigate in person, Mr. Li."

Li Xin had known that this would be the result, so he bowed his head slightly and bowed, "Empress Dowager, I can also investigate the matter of not leaving Beijing. Now the Yulinwei is in charge of Xie Dai of the Xie family. I ask the court to issue an order to ask Xie Dai to take five hundred Yulinwei to Longhu Mountain and bring all the people who should be brought to the capital of Longhu Mountain Zhang family to the capital."

"At that time, I can interrogate these people in person."

The Queen Mother still frowned slightly.

"The Zhang family in Longhu Mountain has always been granted the title of Heavenly Master..."

"The Heavenly Master cannot do anything wrong."

Li Xin bowed his head deeply.

"If one result is not found, how can the late emperor be at peace?"

Now, the Empress Dowager or the young emperor who had just ascended the throne for two days needed Li Xin as a supporter, so the Empress Dowager was not very good at opposing Li Xin. After she sighed, she said, "Okay, I... I will let Xie Dai go to Longhu Mountain to get people..."

She has always called herself "I am the Palace", but she suddenly changed her name and was still a little uncomfortable.

Li Xin lowered his head slightly: "The Empress Dowager is wise."

Any yamen in the court has its own duties. For example, Li Xin's right camp of the imperial guards was to guard the capital, and other things were not done by the imperial guards. Even the Ministry of War under his command did not have the judicial power of the Three Justices, so he could only take over the matter through the Empress Dowager.

Emperor Taikang was ignorant of his death, and he had to find an answer no matter what. Even if he really offended the so-called Land Immortal Sect in Longhu Mountain, it would be great that Li Xin would bear it alone.

The Land Immortal Sect can't resist swords, guns, bows and crossbows.

After talking about this with the Empress Dowager, Li Xin returned to his own Marquis' Mansion in Jing'an. At this time, the eldest princess had already returned from the palace, but she was still in a bad mood and often sat on the chair in a daze.

After Li Xin returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he sat with her for a while. When he was about to say something "spoken" when Chen Shiliu's voice rang outside the door.

"Mr. Marquis, someone outside wants to see you."

Li Xin frowned and looked at the door.

"I'm not telling you that the late emperor passed away and the marquis's mansion closed the door to thank the guests, and no matter who it was, they would never see him."

Chen Shiliu was at the door and did not leave, but continued to speak.

"Mr. Marquis, that person said that her surname was Yuwen and she came from the north."

"She said that after the Marquis heard her surname, he would definitely meet her."

Marquis Jing'an frowned slightly, and finally stood up from the eldest princess' bed and patted the eldest princess' back.

"It's a man from the north, I'll go out and meet him."

The eldest princess nodded slightly: "Be careful."

Li Xin pushed open the door, looked at Chen Shiliu at the door, and said in a deep voice: "Where is the person coming?"

"Now, waiting in the vestibule."

Chen Shiliu lowered his head and whispered: "It's a girl. Your Highness is here just now, I didn't dare to say it..."

Marquis Jing'an gave this guy a blank look.
