One person in the palace arrived before him. Lu Yizhong looked calm and bowed, "Honor, is he here too?"

Han Bingye had a blank expression on his face: "Like you, Your Majesty suddenly summoned him!"

Lu Yi was full of thoughts in the center, but when he reached his mouth, he couldn't say a word. Han Bingye was the same. The two looked at each other and kept silent in a tacit understanding.

Until the third person arrived, he was an old man with white hair and beard, leaning on a crutch and his steps were very steady.

"Teacher Wang!"

Lu Yizhong hurriedly met over and reached out to support the old man. Han Bingye was not arrogant, and he held the etiquette of his juniors.

Wang Duanyang nodded to him, then looked at the imperial physician who was kneeling all over the ground, with a muscular expression.

Now these three people are the most powerful in the court. Wang Duanyang was over 70 years old and was a veteran of the three dynasties. He was named the crown prince and the throne as the left Pushe of Shangshu. Lu Yizhong was the magistrate of Jixian Academy and the right Pushe of Shangshu.

The Jin Dynasty followed the official system of the previous dynasty. Although there was a position of Shangshu Ling in the court, it was just a false statement, so the left and right Pushe was a veritable prime minister.

As for Han Bingye, he was the mother of the former Empress Dowager and the legitimate uncle of Emperor Taihe. He was granted the title of Duke of Xin for his merits, and was also the General of the Wuwei, and was in charge of the Chang'an Imperial Guard.

After waiting for a while, the eunuch general manager Wei Dazhong walked out with a sad look on his face: "Three sirs, your Majesty summoned me!"

When he entered the bedroom, the herbs became stronger. Queen Shen Ning sat by the bed, crying sadly, and Chen Yuanling of the Imperial Hospital stood on one side, lowering his head and silently.

On the bright yellow dragon bed, Emperor Taihe lay on his back, his body was covered in bones, his face was blue and black, and his eyes were deep, which was a sign of oil and dryness.

"I'm here to pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Wang Duanyang knelt down tremblingly, and Han Bingye and Lu Yizhong followed by kneeling on the ground, looking sad.

"You are here!"

Emperor Taihe took a hard breath and said to the queen: "Help me up!"

Empress Shen held back her tears and bent down to help him up. Emperor Taihe looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and said with difficulty: "Today I call you here for my future. Since last year, my health has started to be bad. I have been barely able to last until today. I am powerless to turn the world back. I can die, but I cannot be in chaos in the Jin Dynasty. Today I will issue a will hereby issue a will. I hope that the three beloved ministers will be loyal to the country, perform their duties, and live up to my heart!"

The three of them paused their heads and cried to the ground.

"Put the imperial edict!" Emperor Taihe said weakly.

Wei Dazhong opened a red sandalwood box and took out a bright yellow imperial edict from it. Everyone in the hall knelt down.

"I have been obeyed for eighteen years, and have been worried about danger and accumulated thoughts, and have been diligent every day, and are committed to benefiting the people. However, my nature is rough and unreliable, and I am not as broad as the ancients. I like good and evil, but I am not as far away as possible. Now I have obtained the natural principles of all things, so why do I feel sad and regret it..."

"Crown Prince Zhou Xuanyi ascended the throne, and appointed the crown prince with the Queen Shen family. Quan listened to the major affairs of the military and national affairs, and was appointed as the crown prince's tutor, Han Bingye as the general of the chariot and cavalry, Lu Yizhong as the censor, and worked together to assist the government to safeguard our people..."

After hearing the edict, Emperor Taihe became weaker and weaker, and said tremblingly: "I am now in the future, the prince is kind and filial, and the master knows it, so I am good at tutoring me!"

"I obey the order!" the three of them cried.

Shaoqing, Emperor Taihe closed his eyes and was silent. Wei Dazhong trembled and tried, and knelt on the ground with a plop, saying sadly: "Your Majesty is in funeral!"

In the 18th year of Taihe, the emperor died in Wanshou Palace, and the bells were ringing 30,000 times in the city, and the whole country was mourning.

The next day, he read the will: "...Don't use gold and jade for funerals and sacrifices. The mountains and rivers of Xiaoling should not be changed. The subjects and people in the world will be relieved of their clothes for three days after crying, so they will not be able to marry. The kings will not come to the capital. Those who are not in the order shall recommend this order to be engaged."

The will mainly talk about three things. First, it clarified the heir of the prince Zhou Xuan; second, in order to prevent the vassal kings from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, it was stipulated that they would stay in the fiefdom and not enter the capital to attend funerals; third, it was a kindness to the people of the world, and changed the three-year mourning period after the emperor's death to three days, and asked for a simple funeral.

The prince Zhou Xuan, who was only three years old, ascended the throne and became Emperor Tianqi. Empress Dowager Xuan of Ming Dynasty Chen Ning was appointed as the governor, and three ministers were appointed to assist in the administration.

During the mourning period, the new emperor ascended the throne and was amnesty for the whole world.

At the beginning of the founding of Jin, the feudal system was established, and the vassal kings fully managed the fiefdoms and had military power. Over the years, it had become a big trend.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the major vassal kings were ready to move. The court ordered the army in various places to be on guard against and guard. However, they never expected that the first move was not the vassal kings, but the Huns far away in the northern desert.

An urgent report from the border 800 miles rushed into Chang'an City and arrived directly at Fengtian Hall, causing an uproar.

The Huns were in trouble and gathered their troops and wanted to invade the border!

*****

Shuzhong, Lincheng County.

For mountain people who can never get out of the mountains in their entire lives, the things in the court are too far away. No one will care whether the dragon throne in Chang'an City has changed its owner. They work from sunrise to sunset every day, rest from sunset to quiet and peaceful.

Since the bandit crisis was eliminated, it has become more and more lively. Thanks to the numerous mountains and forests, abundant herbs, and countless daily transactions are available.

Recently, a major event happened in the county town, which became the topic of conversation after dinner. The Sun family, a wealthy man in the city, was confiscated. The charge was for bandits. The county magistrate personally led the yamen runners to block the door. More than 100 people from the Sun family, but none of them ran away and were arrested and imprisoned.

I heard that just the gold and silver found, I pulled more than a dozen carriages. The county magistrate, who used to be friendly and talkative, became selfless this time. He interrogated the Sun family and identified the bandits captured alive in the lobby. The evidence was conclusive. The county magistrate slapped the wood and sentenced all the men of the Sun family to be executed, and the rest were exiled to Lingnan.

When Xu Yan heard about this, he was a little surprised. It was not because of the Sun family's experience, but because Zhao Shouting actually handed over the fat man who was raiding the house to the county master instead of taking action himself.

Now in Shu, General Anyuan is definitely the highest commander. Even if he is the prefect, he is not as high as his. In addition, he is the first to notice that the Sun family is bound by bandits, so he can lead troops to conquer the Sun family in the name of suppressing bandits.

The wealth accumulated by the Sun family for several generations is definitely not a decimal. With this money, there is no need to bother with military expenditure any longer.

But he did not do this, but handed over the case and witnesses together, wasting such an opportunity to collect benefits, which made Xu Yan feel very sorry.

This may be related to his honest personality!
