Wei Chimu was surprised by the content of this edict, but he was not surprised. In fact, on the way to send the edict to the Ministry of Rites, he had already thought that the content of the edict might be like this, otherwise his father would never have preferred to be injured to save him and take the edict away.

And the ministers are not surprised by the content of this edict, because among the rest of the princes, the second prince is unscrupulous, and has raised a lot of male pets outside the palace, ranking fourth and sixth as princesses, and the fifth prince does not care about his life experience, just because he and Concubine Xiao bought an assassin to poison the prince, Emperor Jinglie could not list him as a candidate for the crown prince, and the seventh ranked Wei Chi Jing is young, less than eighteen, not to mention the subsequent princes, and their talents are not as good as the three princes Wei Chi Mu, so it is not surprising that Emperor Jinglie will choose to pass on to the third prince.

Facing the advice of the Ministry of Rites and Chi Xiaoman's gaze, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

But if he doesn't answer, it doesn't mean that this matter will pass like this, those civil and military officials nodded when they heard the words of the Ministry of Rites, and when they saw that Wei Chimu didn't answer, someone actually shouted directly at Yu Chimu, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live", followed by a kneeling shout.

Chi Xiaoman was taken aback by the scene in front of him, and even the Ministry of Rites Shangshu in front of them knelt down, and there were only two people standing in the entire hall, she and Yu Chimu.

It stands to reason that she should also kneel, but she didn't want to admit the identity of Emperor Wei Chimu at all, she just stared at him quietly, hoping that he would give her an answer to refuse.

But Wei Chimu did not make an immediate decision as she expected, but instead fell into deep thought, and deliberately avoided her gaze.

The more he waited, the more Chi Xiaoman's heart sank, and his hesitation meant that he wanted to be the emperor.

"The edict of the first emperor has been announced, because of the national funeral, two days later, the crown prince canonization ceremony is a qiē from Jane, half a month later is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the enthronement ceremony will be held immediately. Seeing that King Huai'an was hesitant, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu directly let people look at Huang Li and said.

Wei Chimu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, and Chi Xiaoman lowered his eyes at the moment he nodded, and turned away without hesitation.

"Small—" Yu Chimu stretched out his hand to grab her, but as soon as the words came out, he was stopped by the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu opened his mouth and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the time is urgent, and the old minister must first discuss with you about the canonization ceremony and the enthronement ceremony. ”

Seeing that Wei Chi Mu was still looking at Chi Xiaoman's departing back, he spoke again: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Tianji Xing is important, but Tianji Xing is already your concubine. ”

His last two sentences are absolutely from the heart, the ability of the princes, the courtiers can see clearly, although some people used to be Wei Chi Hao's faction, but this is only because they know that Emperor Jinglie doted on Wei Chi Hao, so his status as the crown prince is unshakable, and he will definitely ascend the throne as the emperor in the future.

Yu Chimu shook his head, and wanted to say that it was because you didn't know Xiaoman, she was not an ordinary woman, and she was very unusual.

But he didn't refute it in the end, but said: "It's up to you to arrange how to arrange it, just keep it simple." With that, he turned and left, leaving a group of ministers looking at each other.

When he was about to leave the palace gate, Yu Chimu caught up with Chi Xiaoman, grabbed her, and explained with some eagerness: "That's my father's edict, I can't help but obey, but I can assure you that after I ascend the throne, I will pass the throne to the seventh brother when I stabilize the middle of the court." ”

Supporting Wei Chijing to become the emperor was his early plan.

Chi Xiaoman knew that she had always understood that he couldn't let go of the affairs of the Yasukuni Dynasty, and it was impossible to leave this qiē and go with her.

How long does it take for her to stabilize the top and bottom of the court, a year, three years, or five or ten years? She didn't believe that after he sat in the position of emperor, he could let go lightly. It's not that he covets the position of emperor, but his sense of responsibility will make him unable to let go.

But she would never be one of the three thousand favorite concubines in his harem, absolutely not!

She didn't want to be the one who forced him to choose, the throne or her...... Such a choice is too cruel and will make his heart ache, and her heart will be very painful and painful.

But she didn't want to compromise either.

In the end, she just smiled faintly and said, "Prepare for the throne, you will be very busy during this time, and I can't help with this." “

Wei Chimu smiled, thinking that she had agreed to his arrangement. said happily: "I know you have no intention of being a queen, but you are my queen, and there will only be one woman in my harem." ”

Chi Xiaoman smiled silently.

On February 15, the 26th year of Emperor Jinglie's Chengping, Wei Chimu ascended the throne as the new emperor, and the whole country rejoiced. The Shengxing Dynasty and the Ning Kingdom also sent envoys to congratulate them. The year name Yongping is the first year of Yongping. (To be continued......)
