As for choosing things, Empress Zong would also ask the Crown Princess for her opinion from time to time.
Naturally, this detail could not escape everyone's eyes, and it also made them extremely surprised.Unexpectedly, a businesswoman with no foundation could actually live a prosperous and comfortable life among the royal family!
Now, when I looked down at the Crown Princess in private, I felt that this woman was full of extraordinary and unfathomable things.
However, Luo Yun himself did not feel this way. When Han Yao imitated other ladies' comments to her, Luo Yun himself laughed out loud: "I am not as evil as they say. Besides, it's not like you don't know what I am capable of. You are just hiding behind your imperial brother and pretending to be powerful."
Han Yao played with the toys such as tiger-head shoes and rattles she brought, and said briskly: "I wanted to laugh after hearing this. They don't understand the character of their sister-in-law and can only make blind guesses... But I heard that Fang Er recently returned to the capital with her father on her back, and even went to Prince Yunxiao's palace to see her son and take the young prince back.
Perhaps due to frustration with Han Linfeng, Fang Jinshu's motherly love seemed to have returned a little, and he started crying and making a fuss, which also ended badly for Prince Yunxiao.
He was obviously entrusted by the Supreme Emperor to take care of the little prince on his behalf, but Fang Er made such a fuss, it was as if he had robbed someone's child and caused the mother and child to be separated.In the end, there was no other way, so Fang Er let Fang Er take the child back.
However, the Supreme Emperor couldn't care less about this matter. He had been unable to take in food and salt for the past few days. The eunuch fed him for a long time before he could barely get in some soup.
Those who are older will understand that the Supreme Emperor has reached his end of life.Therefore, in the past few days, His Majesty has been personally serving the Supreme Emperor with several important ministers in front of his bed.
In addition to the filial piety of the younger generation, Han Yi also did this to show to the officials.
After all, he was not a direct descendant of the Supreme Emperor, and he obtained the throne through abdication. If the Supreme Emperor was allowed to die silently, the news would be publicized or not.
But now he is untidy, disheveled, and has not gone to court in the morning. With his ministers guarding him like this, everyone can see the Emperor's three meals.
This life span has come to an end, and if he dies at that time, his death will be clear.
In this way, amid bursts of sobs inside and outside the Emperor's chamber, the Emperor, who had been depressed since his abdication, finally breathed his last breath.
Accompanied by the eunuch shouting "The Emperor is dead!""The soft sobs suddenly turned into wails, and the entire Wei Dynasty entered the period of mourning, observing mourning for the Supreme Emperor for three months, prohibiting marriage, and prohibiting silk and bamboo enjoyment.
But at the same time, for some unknown reason, rumors spread among the people that Han Yi and his son were stealing the country and murdering the emperor.
This is baseless nonsense, but due to the new land equalization policy recently implemented by His Majesty, many wealthy gentry who previously underreported their private land have been identified, a lot of land has been fined and confiscated, and some people who have caused obstacles to the new law have been imprisoned.
At this time, the new emperor and his son had offended many powerful people in the court. This kind of argument actually became more and more intense, and many versions were produced for a while.
It's just that this kind of rumor has no basis and is difficult to investigate. If someone is really arrested to question the crime, it would be more like covering up the truth.
Han Yi also knew that when a person in a position of power does great things and achieves great deeds, how can he not attract some infamy?The most important thing now is to let landless farmers get land and enrich the national treasury.
As long as the common people have clothes on their backs, food in their bowls, and can properly support their wives, children, and parents, how can they care about the secret history of the palace?
Those rumors are just some people trying to shake the tree with ants and do some tricks.
However, after the death of the Supreme Emperor, he had to be buried in peace. When discussing the funeral specifications, according to Han Yi, it should not be too shabby, but it could not completely copy the funeral specifications that Emperor Wei Hui had set for himself during his lifetime.
The Supreme Emperor was addicted to the construction of tombs during his lifetime. He built several tombs alone. As for the funeral and burial regulations after his death, the regulations were even more detailed.
It's just that such a grand burial ceremony requires the burning of silver.
When Han Yi saw the estimated amount of money presented by the Ministry of Rites, he immediately waved his hand. This was too much money!After the Supreme Emperor is buried, the people of Wei will no longer have anything to eat or drink.
His second son's previous weddings were all simple, not even as elegant as those of a wealthy gentleman.It is reasonable to curtail the funeral of the Supreme Emperor now.
But now, some old ministers who were looking for trouble began to mourn in the main hall, because His Majesty wanted a simple funeral. They kept shouting that the Supreme Emperor would not die in peace, and his last words were not allowed to be arranged.
It is these old ministers who are incompetent. I beg your Majesty to grant death and let them follow the Supreme Emperor.
These old people are the best among those who rely on their old age to sell their old age. They do not talk about the extravagance of the Supreme Emperor in his life. They only say that the old man should not leave so early and leave the people of the Wei Dynasty to where they, the loyal ministers, should go.
Emperor Han Yi, who was sitting in the high hall, had a dark face the whole time.
The old guys all had loose skins on their bones, and they were scolding them loudly, fearing that one of them would be accidentally killed. These people were all old movable type signboards with some meritorious deeds, and they were all just hanging on. There would be no good if they were killed. The emperor really couldn't afford to offend him.
After all, when the Supreme Emperor's body was still cold, and there was news of killing an old minister, how could Han Yi be any different from a traitor who usurped power?
But if you listen to them and organize funerals in a big way, the national treasury really can't come up with the money, so you can't misappropriate money from the national economy and people's livelihood, right?
Even when his two sons and their wives ate with their father, Han Yi's mood was not at ease.
After hearing this, Luoyun didn't think it was a matter of sorrow. She just gossiped and said, "Leave it among the people. It's hard to keep funerals for old people simple, otherwise their children will be scolded for being unfilial.However, not everyone can manage it decently, but poor people also have their own methods.I remember that during the two years when I was living in the countryside, a poor scholar in the village died. His mother suffered from lack of money at home, so he had no choice but to knock on the door shamelessly and let the villagers take the money in advance. They got together to buy a thin coffin and prepared for the funeral..."
At this point, Han Yi and Han Linfeng both paused and looked at each other.
Han Xiao, who had just been married, frowned when he heard this: "The methods you mentioned are all used by poor people. Now that the Supreme Emperor's funeral is going on, can my father still ask for a share of the money?"
Han Linfeng said slowly: "What's wrong with this?Now that the national treasury is empty, we really need some efforts from the ministers..."
Han Yi also understood and relaxed his brows: "Then I will leave this matter to you."
