Chapter 174: Arrangements for the First Emperor and Empress Dowager
In the Anxin Palace, the late emperor's concubines were waiting for the final announcement from the Director of Internal Affairs. The sound of mournful wailing filled the Anxin Palace. This cry contained a ruthless memory of the late emperor, and more of the beauty withered in the palace.
The bitterness and loneliness.
After Zhong Ao's death, Li Guolin became the new director of internal affairs. Li Guolin already had a roster in his hand and began to read out the issues of the harem's concubines.
"Concubine Wan accompanied the sixth prince to the fiefdom of Shuzhou, and the sixth prince was named King of Shu.
Concubine Qing accompanied the seventh prince to the fiefdom of Dezhou, and the seventh prince was named King De.
Xiguiren went to Taizhou with the eighth prince, who was named King of Taizhou.[
Concubine Rong stayed in Yandu with the nine princes, who became the King of Peiping. Concubine Rong stayed in the palace and was named the concubine.
Concubine Jing and Shu Jieyu were assigned to Jingxin Nunnery and became nuns.
All the remaining people will follow the late emperor to the mausoleum to be buried."
Li Guolin spoke loudly, with a solemn and solemn expression on his face. After finishing the reading, he exited the Anxin Hall.
When the late emperor's widow heard about her arrangement, she burst into tears and filled the palace with wailing, which made everyone who heard it sad.
Li Guolin looked at the concubines who were crying uncontrollably. Some of them were still in their prime and young, but they had to be buried in the loess forever with the late emperor. He felt a lot of sighs and sighs in his heart. It was just the ancestral regulations that he was ordered to implement.
"Concubine Rong, please save us, we, we don't want to die, we don't want to die."
"We haven't fought or snatched each other over the years. The emperor doesn't even know what we look like, why, why he wants us to die."
"Your Majesty, you are so cruel." In the Anxin Palace, the concubines were already crying, feeling that their fate was unfair.
Several palace concubines who were usually close to Concubine Rong began to ask Concubine Rong for help, hoping that she could protect them, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to Concubine Rong.
"Sisters, get up quickly, get up quickly, I, I can't bear it."
Such news and scenes were obviously not what Concubine Rong was happy to see. Looking at the concubines who were crying, Concubine Rong's heart also started to twitch.
"Concubine Rong, you are the only one who can save us right now. We don't want to be buried, even if we become monks.
When the late Emperor was still alive, the one he respected the most was you.
Now Master Jiu is staying in Yandu to assist the emperor. Please beg for mercy in front of the emperor and don't let us be buried." A palace concubine looked at Concubine Rong sadly with tears in her eyes.
