Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 331 The Emperor Dies
Now the skin of this golden python has been peeled off, enough to make hundreds of leather coats, and it has super strong defense.

Lu Hao gave the snake skin to Shen Yiyi and asked her tailor shop to make it.

The winter clothes and quilts ordered by the Military Department and Shen Yiyi have been completed, and these strategic materials have been sent to the Military Department's warehouse.

As for the siege equipment built by the Ministry of War, they are also secretly increasing, and all combat preparation materials and war horses are also quietly increasing.

Over in Hengyang City, the reserves of fireball bombs, kerosene bombs and poisonous smoke bombs used in sieges are also increasing.

The production of homemade cannons and explosive packs developed by Lu Hao, as well as homemade cannons and artillery shells, also began to increase.

Jiu Jianxian invited Lu Hao to Baihua House for a drink, but he seemed not to be affected by the war at all.

When he saw Lu Hao's war base, Jiu Jianxian knew that no one in the world could stop Lu Hao's pace.

After all, the weapons held by those soldiers were enough to kill ninth-level masters. Even the master-level masters would not dare to resist the bullets of so many people.

After obtaining Lu Hao's distillation method, the four great courtesans of Baihualou purified a lot of good wine, and the sales volume was very large.

Situ Tianyin from Tianyin Pavilion heard the news and came in a hurry to ask for this distillation method. Lu Hao had no choice but to give it to her.

After all, Tianyin Pavilion has more and wider sales channels and earns more silver.

Jiu Sword Immortal hid in Baihua Tower drinking. Aunt Ji did not dare to offend Jiu Sword Immortal. She was also grateful to Jiu Sword Immortal for saving her life, so she treated Jiu Sword Immortal as an honored guest.

Xuanyuan Hongzhi retreated to Xiangfan City. General Situ had no intention of attacking Xiangfan City. Instead, he led an army of 20 to bypass Xiangfan City and head directly towards the imperial capital.

Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty learned of the news and ordered His Highness Prince Nangong Wuhen to personally lead an army of 20, and then entered the Great Yan Empire.

The only thing that made Lu Hao feel lucky was that the two imperial uncles really wanted to rebel and started a direct war with the Sui Empire.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was obviously a talented and strategic emperor, and he had no fear at all. He sent the third prince Nangong Zhen to march eastward with an army of [-] to wipe out the rebels.

Liu Mu from the north didn't know the situation in the imperial capital. He was afraid that the Sui Empire would capture the imperial capital earlier than he did, so he hurriedly came from the north.

The six tribes outside the Great Wall, especially Baili Tiance, were overjoyed to hear the news and immediately led their armies southward to attack several major strongholds around Yanjing City in the north.

"Prime Minister, it's not good! Your Majesty... your Majesty... has passed away!"

Xiao Xizi came in a hurry.

"what?"

Lu Hao was shocked.

"I went to see the emperor just now and found that the emperor... was no longer breathing."

Xiao Xizi knelt on the ground with a grimace.

Lu Hao was stunned on the spot, recalling bits and pieces of the past in his mind, and felt that Murong Yuan was really worthy of him.

However, since Dugu Shenyong went crazy and chased those royals, almost all of them were killed.

Later, Patriarch Murong was also killed by Lu Hao by luck, and the royal family was completely in decline.

If the emperor dies now, the entire royal family's orthodoxy will be completely extinct.

"Inform all civil and military officials to come to Qianyuan Palace to pay homage to the Emperor..."

After Lu Hao finished speaking, he headed towards Qianyuan Palace.

Now the empire is facing internal and external troubles, and the emperor has passed away again. It is really a leaky house and it rains all night.

The emperor passed away. Dong Xiaowan, Xiao Yun'er and other concubines who had not left were now dressed in white plain clothes and wearing filial piety, kneeling in front of the emperor's coffin.

Thanks to Lu Hao's mercy, most of the concubines and maids had left, leaving only a few of them. However, those eunuchs had nowhere to go and basically all stayed.

Lu Hao stood in front of the coffin, leading the civil and military officials to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yan Empire, with a serious look on his face.

Dong Xiaowan and Xiao Yun'er were noble concubines, so they returned the favor one by one with the concubines in the harem.

After paying homage to the emperor, Lu Hao held a simple meeting in the side hall of Qianyuan Palace. "Master Du, Minister of Rites, you are solely responsible for the emperor's funeral matters..."

"Master Tang, Minister of Household Affairs, please allocate 500 million taels of silver as the funeral expenses for the emperor..."

"The House of Internal Affairs and the House of Clan, you two adults should make arrangements for the royal family members and don't cause trouble..."

"Xiao Xizi, please inform the Chief of Ceremonies to draw up an edict and tell the world that the emperor has passed away... Give orders to officials everywhere..."

"The whole country will mourn the emperor for seven days, and the imperial capital will be under curfew for seven days..."

Lu Hao immediately announced a series of orders.

"Prime Minister, now that the emperor has passed away, the country cannot live without a king for a day. I think this official..."

Zhang Zhongwei hesitated to speak.

"Yes, the empire is in chaos, and now the emperor has passed away, and there is no suitable heir..."

Du Ze also agreed.

"Prime Minister, although the war has not yet reached the imperial capital, there are Liu Mu and other tribes outside the Great Wall in the north, and there is the Sui Empire in the south. If the imperial capital is attacked from the north and the south, it will be in danger..."

Dong Bifang also commented.

"Well, the emperor has just passed away. Let's not discuss those things for the time being. Let's take care of the emperor's funeral first."

Lu Hao raised his hand slightly to stop them from continuing.

After all, once he became emperor, it would affect his whole body. Lu Hao would definitely not act rashly before he thought about it.

Of course, if Lu Hao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor just after the emperor died, those guys might think that he had killed the emperor.

Therefore, he must not ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor now, and military advisor Liu Rufeng also means that he cannot proclaim himself emperor indiscriminately and attract enemies from all sides.

Since he said so, the others naturally had no objection and hurried down to do their work.

It was getting late, and the main hall of Qianyuan Palace was brightly lit.

Lu Hao sat in front of the coffin and silently burned paper money for him, but his mood was extremely heavy.

"Your Majesty, it's easy for you to leave. Didn't you also say that you want to rule the world?"

"Now that the empire is in chaos, what should Xiao Liuzi do?"

"But don't worry, Xiao Liuzi will definitely fulfill your great ambition and dominate the mainland and the world!"

Lu Hao said quietly.

Dong Xiaowan walked over slowly, leaned against Lu Hao, knelt in front of the coffin, and helped him burn the paper money.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Liuzi did not protect Concubine Yi and His Highness the Crown Prince. I am so ashamed of you!"

"However, Xiao Liuzi has already killed the old immortal and avenged Concubine Yi and His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xiao Liuzi will definitely help you protect Concubine Dong Gui and Concubine Xiao Shu..."

Lu Hao said while burning paper, and Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but smile.

How can you help others take care of their wives, and they are also helping the emperor, and they do so in a serious manner, which is completely shameless and obscene.

"Your Majesty, the two princesses of Jin and Shu, Xiao Liuzi asked them to go back, so that they would not miss their hometown and their relatives..."

"The other concubines, Xiao Liuzi also let them go on behalf of the emperor, lest they stay alone in the empty boudoir and die alone..."

Lu Hao spoke eloquently and reported to the emperor one by one.
