The emperor's funeral was held seven days later.
The Crown prince led the civil and military officials to send him off. All the citizens in the city knelt down along the streets.
The white banner fluttered in the wind, and paper money fell like snowflakes.
Amidst everyone's cries, a dynasty ended.
The next day, Crown Prince Shen Zhuo held the coronation in the Imperial Capital and officially ascended the throne. Empress Dowager Deng was respected as the Grand Empress Dowager, and Empress Wen was acknowledged as the Empress Dowager.
However, before Shen Zhuo could stabilize the throne, Prince Jia's Mansion far away in Jiangbei suddenly mutinied.
Prince Jia was killed on the way back to his fief. His family guessed that the emperor had done it.
