C770 Wen Jingdi Is Dead
He was still trembling in fear, deeply aware of the ways of the palace's survival, and never made a single mistake.
Such a person was extremely intelligent. In this vast imperial palace, he finally gave a trace of comfort.
Lu Cheng's eyes were red as he said in a hoarse voice, "This old servant thanks Your Majesty for the concern!"
After finishing the funeral arrangements, Emperor Wenjing smiled without any worries.
"I have already drafted the will. Just read it when the time comes!"
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "If it is the unification of Saint and One, do not forget to add some soil to Zhen's grave!"
After saying that, Emperor Wenjing closed his eyes.
Such a legendary emperor ended his life just like that.
The later generations recorded that the golden age emperor had a thousand years to live, and a cloud of dust to praise his achievements.
Such an evaluation could be considered to be able to reflect on the painstaking efforts of Emperor Wenjing's entire life.
As expected, in Emperor Wenjing's imperial edict, he wanted Dongfang Jin to ascend the throne and appoint Lan Xuehan as the empress.
However, the Emperor Wenjing in the imperial edict stated it clearly. His funeral did not need to be held in a grand manner. Because it was now a war-torn period, even Dongfang Jin's coronation ceremony had to wait until later.
Now, he still had to prioritize national affairs.
Anyone could accept such a reason, so Dongfang Jin simply handed all the responsibility of supervising the country to Xiao Mingyu.
After that, he went to the border to lead the war.
Furthermore, the people of the Saint Capital were not allowed to hold any joyous events for three years. They were forbidden from singing and dancing banquets, and they were used to guard Emperor Wenjing's spirit.
Other than Xiao Mingyu who had objections, everyone else raised their hands in agreement with this decision.
Dongfang Jin did not deliberately hide the news of Emperor Wenjing's death, so it only took two days for everyone in the world to know.
Dongfang Jin organized Emperor Wenjing's funeral the entire time.
Everyone could feel that Crown Prince was still as elegant and gentle as before.
However, the coldness around his body was obvious.
It was as cold as the snow, causing them to be cautious in whatever they did, fearing that there would be a trace of mistake that would cause this new Emperor to be displeased.
After mourning for seven days, Emperor Wenjing was buried in the imperial tomb.
On that day, Dongfang Jin rose from the sun to the night sky.
Finally, he respectfully bowed three times to Emperor Wenjing's tombstone before leaving.
After he returned, other than the plain white linen clothes in his residence, he didn't see anything unusual about Dongfang Jin.
It was the same swift and decisive style, the same gentle and elegant smile.
It finally relieved the worries in the hearts of the crowd.
After another five days, Dongfang Jin finally took care of all the matters in the Saint Capital.
Just as he was about to set off for the border, he received another piece of bad news.
Crown Prince's Palace, in the study.
Mo Feng had a solemn expression. "Your Highness, I just received news that someone in the Xiyue Country said that the Second Princess was a spy, and that was why they were forced to retreat!"
When Dongfang Jin heard this, his face turned extremely cold.
"Do you know who spread this rumor?"
"The rumors spread very quickly, as if everyone knew about it overnight. Therefore, we have yet to find out who spread this rumor. "
"Then how is the situation now?"
Mo Feng's facial expression was solemn. It was obvious that the situation was terrible.
"Now, the people of Xiyue Country are talking about this matter. Even the king of Xiyue Country can't suppress the development of this matter. A few days ago, all the officials were advising us, hoping to recall Prince Chen and give them an explanation! "
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin coldly snorted. There was an indescribable sense of sarcasm in his words.
