Chapter 75: The Edict

The second more

Zeng Fan got off the car at noon, and he arrived late, because he went to deliver Li Ping first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOriginally, Li Ping said that he would send him to the noon gate first, and then go to the Shenwu Gate by himself. But obviously Zeng Fan didn't want to, so he sent his wife in first, and then went back by himself.

Several important ministers had already come to the door one after another, and when they saw Zeng Fan, they all saluted together.

"Lord Zeng, wasn't the emperor okay yesterday?" An adult arched his hand at Zeng Fan and asked anxiously.

Emperor Zhengyang also recruited ministers yesterday, and Zeng Fan happened to not enter the palace yesterday, and he wanted to hand over the affairs of his own Ministry of Rites. So he really didn't know, so he could only smile wryly and shake his head, and walk in silently.

Emperor Zhengyang was lying in the coffin, and everyone naturally did not dare to look at the remains, one by one, like a dead father, they fell down and cried bitterly, and Zeng Fan's tears couldn't be stopped, and they gushed out all of a sudden. Eleven years of knowing the grace of encounters, he can be said to be single-handed, and sometimes, he feels that this old man is the person who helps him the most. Although he secretly said bad things about this old man and felt that he was a little indecisive, he was really in his environment and position, and he sometimes felt helpless. He was just an ordinary old man, but he was born in the most extraordinary family, which doomed him to tremble all his life. Maybe this should be the calmest time for him, because it's finally over.

Crying is a trivial matter, and the most important thing at this time is the replacement of the old and the new. Several cabinet members took out the box of Emperor Zhengyang's edict together, and the little eunuch hurriedly came out to invite Zeng Fan in. Zeng Fan was stunned for a moment, he was not a cabinet member, and he was not a nobleman, this time, he just had to kneel in his position and cry, why did he invite himself in?

But he didn't hesitate, at this time, Emperor Zhengyang was gone, and the fourth prince was not a good temper, and he didn't want people to think that he was fearless. Of course, I am also afraid that the new emperor will cross the river and tear down the bridge.

In the Hanging Flower Pavilion on the side, the four princes, the six princes, and the seventh prince were all kneeling in filial piety clothes, and the four cabinet members were talking about something around the box. Seeing Zeng Fan coming, he hurriedly called him over.

"You came just in time, there should be two copies of the edict, why is there only one copy of the box?" An Yuan asked anxiously, of course he knew that this edict was drafted by Zeng Fan and stamped by the emperor, except for the dead Emperor Zhengyang and Zeng Fan who was standing in front of him now, no one really knew who this edict would end up with.

"What about Chief Qin?" Zeng Fan finally understood what was going on, and hurriedly said to the little eunuch.

"Father-in-law Qin was called by the queen mother." The little eunuch hurriedly said.

"Please." Zeng Fan hurriedly said, and after speaking, he asked all the princes to get up, if you want to kneel, you should kneel outside, wait for the edict here, what is there to kneel.

"Sir, but what's the matter?" The fourth prince Kai got up and asked with red eyes.

"Emperor Daxing is a prudent character, in addition to the throne box placed behind the Zhengda Guangming plaque, there is also a copy of the Qin Gonggong for safekeeping, the emperor is preparing to celebrate the New Year, he will go back to live in the garden, afraid that when something happens, he can also stabilize the situation in time." Zeng Fan clenched his fists to his chest and bowed his head and replied.

Only then did everyone understand that the old man didn't put the two edicts together at all, for fear of a case, which also shows that the old man is actually very clear about his physical condition.

The four pavilion elders cleared their throats, and at this time, Lord Chen, the first assistant, put the unopened edict in the tray and asked the princes to review it, indicating that no one would ever fake it.

The little princes below are indeed not watched, and it has nothing to do with them anyway. Lao Qi is too, and he directly pushed it to his two elder brothers, and it has nothing to do with him anyway.

The Fourth Prince Kai and the Sixth Prince Rui all carefully checked the fire paint marks on the edict, and just now, they also checked the fire paint marks on the box.

Gonggong Qin also roared over, seeing so many people and still a little confused, since Emperor Zhengyang was uncomfortable last night, he has been busy, until Emperor Zhengyang died in the morning, he didn't stop, he was so busy that he didn't have time to cry.

"Father-in-law Qin, quickly take out the edict." Zeng Fan hurriedly reminded that his relationship with Father-in-law Qin has always been good, for fear that he would eat melons.

Father-in-law Qin subconsciously touched his chest, but no? For a while, his face turned white with fright, and he wouldn't say that he would celebrate.

"It's okay, it's okay, did you change your clothes today and ask someone to help you take a look?" Zeng Fan noticed that he was wearing plain clothes, before he was the chief eunuch, the chief head of the eunuchs in the palace, and his official uniform was purple.

"Yes, yes, go find it." Gonggong Qin waved his sleeves violently, and he went to find it as quickly as his little eunuch had been drawn.

"How do you put such an important thing around?" The Six Princes shouted.

Everyone's face changed, Gonggong Qin is the old man next to Emperor Zhengyang, on weekdays, even if these princes see him, they are polite, as soon as the old man closes his eyes, this one dares to treat the old man like this, and the cabinet members are cold, if he is like this, he is afraid that he will not be polite to this group of old ministers.

"Lord Zeng, there's nothing for you here, you can go out!" The sixth prince didn't look at Gonggong Qin at all, and turned his head to look at Zeng Fan again.

"The minister retired." Zeng Fan was not angry, facing the fourth prince and the sixth prince, and the seventh prince, he calmly withdrew, and he didn't bother to worry about these things! I felt that the six princes were stupid, this edict was drafted by himself, and Emperor Zhengyang nodded, and he also helped to stamp a seal by the way, and then in front of the old man, the two edicts were stamped with anti-theft seals, and the seal was destroyed in front of Emperor Zhengyang. said that this pair of fire paint prints is unique.

So I have always known who is the new master in the future, these days everyone is paying attention to which prince they pay more attention to, and Zeng Fan has obviously realized this, he didn't pay attention to the princes' visits, so people can't guess who is more likely to take the throne. Therefore, he was not in the Hanging Flower Pavilion at this time, and he was not curious at all.

No one stopped him, he wasn't a cabinet member, he was here, it was a little weird. And the fourth prince Kai wanted to stop him, but in the end he didn't, he was afraid that people would think that he had a good relationship with Zeng Fan, which would affect the result of the lottery.

Finally, the little eunuch finally found the one who almost shouted in, but before he entered the door, he was beaten out by the six princes, and the two edicts were put together, and they all saw one they had never seen the vermilion lacquer seal, which is also one of the anti-theft measures.

"Sixth brother, please come in, Master Zeng is sealed, I think he can distinguish the truth better than us." The fourth prince saw a vague look and hurriedly discussed with his younger brother.

"Even if he did, what if he did?" The six princes are like choking on medicine, and they really scold people when they see them.
