The funeral of the late emperor was all handled by the Ministry of Etiquette, and Cang Xiuxuan had no involvement at all.
He even never wore mourning clothes.
This man himself was killed on his orders. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for him to wear mourning clothes again?
As for the concubines who had no heirs, they were all buried according to the etiquette.
This was the most solemn moment for the late emperor.
After dealing with these concubines, what is left is the complicated relationships in the harem. Cang Xiuxuan has more important things to do at the moment and does not want to waste time on this.
So he found the Queen Mother.
According to seniority, she is his grandmother.
"My grandson has met the imperial grandmother."
Seeing the Empress Dowager, Cang Xiuxuan's attitude was still very respectful. The legend of this Empress Dowager in the harem has always been there. Even though he didn't pay much attention to the affairs in the harem, there was still something he should know.
The few know it.
The most powerful thing this woman has done is probably to be the queen despite having no heirs in her life.
Then there is the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager.
This has never happened in the history of Da Rong. According to Da Rong's etiquette, concubines without heirs must be buried when the emperor dies, but this woman was forced to give up her life before the emperor died.
He became a queen, and the only ones who needed to be buried were his concubines, not the queen.
And then...he let the previous emperor serve him respectfully for so many years.
Now that Cang Xiuxuan is in charge, his attitude is naturally very good.
The Empress Dowager did not ask him for help. She was obviously very happy when she saw him. "Get up quickly. Even if you count the time, it has been many years since I saw you. I didn't expect that the meeting would be like this."
The Empress Dowager did not deliberately evade the previous question. Cang Xiuxuan also felt confident after hearing the words, "My grandson has been outside these years, and today I can see the emperor's grandmother. My grandson feels like a dream. Some things are true."
It’s more helpless, and I hope the royal grandmother won’t blame me.”
The Empress Dowager patted his hand and said, "The people are more important."
The implication was very clear, it was almost as if he was praising Cang Xiuxuan for doing the right thing.
"From now on, regardless of whether you are the regent or the new emperor of the Ai family, you must remember that your surname is Cang and you are a member of the Da Rong royal family. Da Rong's century-old foundation cannot be destroyed like this. You cannot
Let the imperial grandmother go down and have no face to see the ancestors."
Cang Xiuxuan had thought of many possibilities before he came, but he never thought that the Empress Dowager would face him with such a supportive attitude.
This made Cang Xiuxuan unable to react for a moment.
In the end, the Empress Dowager squeezed his hand, and he suddenly came back to his senses. He nodded very cautiously, "Grandma, don't worry, your grandson will definitely restore the vitality of this country."
"There is a long way to go, but the Royal Grandmother believes in you."
Doesn’t the Queen Mother know how difficult it is to regain his vitality? Several months of drought starved so many people to death, followed by the plague, and the earth dragon turned over. All these things greatly damaged Da Rong’s vitality.
.
To restore this vitality, the price that needs to be paid is absolutely unimaginable.
In addition to perseverance, you must also have strong financial support.
But since Cang Xiuxuan dares to say it, it proves that he can definitely do it.
"My grandson is here today. In addition to seeking forgiveness from the Imperial Grandmother, I also want to ask for your help, Grandmother Imperial."
After making his position clear, Cang Xiuxuan was about to make his demands. It was most appropriate for the Empress Dowager to handle the matters in the harem. He did not have so much thought to deal with these matters in the harem.
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows slightly, "You can say whatever you want. How can I use the word beg?"
Cang Xiuxuan has never been a polite person, so he directly explained the reason for his visit, "My grandson wants to ask the imperial grandmother to help clean up the harem inside and outside."
Clean inside and out.
These words seemed easy to say, but it didn't seem to be any easier to do than what he had said before about restoring Da Rong's strength.
But then I thought about it, and it seemed that she was the only one who could handle this matter, and the Empress Dowager was suitable to handle it.
After thinking for a while, the Empress Dowager responded to the matter, "The Ai family is here to help you. Right now, all your thoughts are on the front. Is there anything that can't be dealt with here?"
The family will send someone to notify you as soon as possible, but you must make preparations in advance. The harem and the front court have always been related."
Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager is still a little worried. Once the former dynasty and the harem cannot check and balance each other, a particularly tragic phenomenon will eventually occur.
But facing what the Empress Dowager said, Cang Xiuxuan didn't care at all.
"I don't necessarily know how many of those officials from the previous dynasty will be used again. The most important thing in my new city is people. If they insist on thinking that they are superior to others, I am afraid they will be disappointed this time. I will not allow anyone in my court."
When this kind of nepotism appears, the imperial grandmother must be more ruthless when dealing with it, otherwise they will not remember it at all."
The Empress Dowager understood.
It's just that it would be too much for this minister not to use...
Cang Xiuxuan won't say much to her about the matters in the court. Anyway, the basics have been explained. He does what he should do, and everything else is waiting for the acceptance of the results.
In the Song Dynasty, since Cang Xiuxuan did not become the emperor but became the regent, her life seemed much easier.
If she had followed the previous plans, she would have been forced to become the queen at this time.
She never thought in her life that she would become a queen one day. If nothing happened in the process, Song Chen might still think that this was a good experience, but obviously...
"I can't stay here any longer, Qiu An, let's run."
After the second day of continuous boredom, Song Chen began to encourage Qiu An to run away.
If this were any other place, Qiu An would take their girl and leave without hesitation, but this is the palace, and the person in charge of Fairy A's palace is still their prince.
If she takes the girl away at this time, she will be completely in trouble with the prince and master, and she is directly seeking death.
"My good girl, please stop this thought quickly. Why is such a good person running away?"
Song Chen lost all interest in her useless look and rolled his eyes directly, "Why is this so good? The range of daily activities is just such a small amount. I really don't know how those concubines can endure it."
Damn, what’s the point of this life? I’m a human being, not a canary.”
