Shu Luping was taken aback, and he already understood a little bit in his heart. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"So early? Let him in."

Yelu Deguang hurriedly walked into Changning Palace and bowed on one leg.

"Deguang greets the queen mother".

Shu Luping asked knowingly.

"Yao Guwu'er, running in such a hurry early in the morning, didn't you hear something"?

"Erchen heard the discussion in the streets and alleys, saying that he wanted to crown the eldest brother as the crown prince. The son asked the queen mother to inform his father that the son would also compete for the crown prince."

"Now that your father has made up his mind, even the words of his mother have fallen on deaf ears. How can the emperor change it easily?"

"The queen mother has always loved her sons the most. The queen mother is resourceful and strategic, is there nothing the queen mother can do at this time"?

"The emperor is invited to get up quickly, the queen mother has something to say to you."

Jerod stood up listlessly.

"The queen mother went to the general's mansion for this reason."

"What does Uncle say"?

"Your uncle was so frightened that his face was like paper ashes, and his fart was running down with urine."

"What? Even my uncle doesn't want to help my mother?"

"Your uncle, as a great general, did not dare to take a step, and he even knelt in front of the queen mother and begged bitterly. It is a capital crime to say that it is a capital crime for a foreign relative to transgress, and a capital crime to be beheaded all over the house"!

"Queen Mother, you have been in love with your father for many years, is it possible that in order to crown the crown prince, your father and queen mother will turn their faces?"

"But after listening to the general's words, the queen mother also felt that it was not unreasonable."

"Mother, what does my uncle say"?

"Your uncle asked the queen mother to think about it carefully, and there have been many long dreams in the past three years and five years. And your second uncle Yelu Rag led the crowd to flee abroad, if you don't settle the matter of enthronement as soon as possible, who knows when there will be trouble again?"

"Then, what does the queen mother mean"?

"The queen mother asked the general, is it really so urgent to crown the crown prince?"

"Mother, what does uncle mean"?

"Instead of helping the queen mother, your uncle protected the old minister of Yeludiery."

"Uncle, why is this?"

"The general said, 'The old minister of Jerodieri is by no means alarmist. Please don't go your own way, only by enthroned as soon as possible can the Great Khitan Kingdom be crowned a long-term peace and stability.'"

"Jerudieri, Jerudieri, this Jerudieri again"!

When Jerod heard the name Jeroderi, he was so angry that he burst into smoke and his teeth rattled.

"Emperor, please remember. It's all those old ministers in the court, who have nothing to do all day long, and they give advice and muttering in your father's ear. Especially that Yelu Dieri, who advocates emulating the Central Plains and standing up for the long rather than the young, but your father likes to listen to his recitals, which is really angry with the queen mother."

"In this way, there is no hope for the prince to be crowned the crown prince."

"Yao Gu, don't be discouraged. You are still young, and you are afraid that you will have no future in the future"?

"This"?

"The time for the crown prince ceremony is coming, so please step back for the time being."

Dawn, outside the Xuanqing Palace. Hundreds of officials set up a seat for the crown prince.

Yelu commanded the establishment of a hundred civil and military officials' tents, and guarded the palace to set up the crown prince's tents, which were second to the north of the court and to the west.

Yelubei was dressed in the crown prince's dress, and rode the Huangling Chen Jinlu (a large-sized carriage and horse) outside the gate of the court, facing west.

The crown prince's honor guard, flute, drum band, etc. stand outside the gate of the Xuanqing Hall in the west.

The ceremonial crown prince board is located in the south of Dianheng Street, near the northeast.

Jerod was in an orderly manner and commanded the people.

"Everyone cheer up, the ceremony of enthronement of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to begin. Hurry, the chickens are all over the place, and everyone moves quickly."

Jeremiah yawned as he spoke, and it seemed that he had not woken up.

The hour has come in an instant. Yelu Abaoji and Shu Luping sat on the dragon and phoenix chairs in the Xuanqing Hall in the east direction.

The four waitresses stood behind Yelu Abaoji and Shu Luping and held fans for them.

Four bearded male waiters served tea trays to Yelu Abaoji and Shu Luping.

The servant of the door walked slowly to the side of the book with the seal in his hand, and placed the seal on the book in the north direction.

The Chinese scholar holds a treasure ribbon (large seal) and puts it in front of the treasure case.

Ling Shi and the two of them wore silk clothes (crimson) and stood opposite each other.

After the squire under the door and the squire in the middle book were filed.

The ceremony sang loudly: "Book, crown prince ceremony".

At this time, Yelubei wore a Yuanyou crown on his head, wore a sand robe, and slowly walked out with a hand in his hand.

The prince was introduced, and the north hall was erected.

The crown prince knelt down on one leg and bowed: "Your Majesty, congratulations to His Royal Highness the crown prince on the start of the ceremony."

"Excuse me".

The officials of the east palace are all from here, and they stand in the southeast of Yelubei in the west direction.

Jerubi walked into the door of the main hall, the music played, and Jerubi walked to his seat and finished the music.

Jerod held the edict in his hand and slowly unfolded it.

"Xuan, His Majesty the Great Khitan Emperor, 'Yelubei, the eldest son of the Great Khitan Emperor, has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he is good at riding and shooting; proficient in medicine and the art of striking; not only learned Khitan military, production and culture, but also loved Han culture; Reading the scriptures and history, respecting Confucius and Confucianism, gentle temperament, Huaide Weining, and being good (ju) music; His achievements in poetry and painting are also remarkable. He was made the crown prince. Chin this'"!

Yelu Abaoji was a little fluttering, how pleased he was to have a successor to the throne. It's just that Shu Luping on the side has a blank expression and no joy.

The propagandist sang: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bows."

Jerebe stepped forward, hugged his chest with his right hand, and bowed.

All those in office worship.

The book ordered the west to stand northeast of Jelube. At this time, the squire guided the Zhongshu order to the front of the book.

The Zhongshu Shilang took the book, handed over his hands to the Zhongshu Order, and the Zhongshu Shilang retired and reset.

The propagandist stretched his voice and sang, "There is a system."

Jerubi hugged his chest with his right hand again and bowed to his chest.

The book of the book was ordered to hold Yelu Abaoji, and the crown prince was enthroned.

Jerube raised his hands above his head and took the edict.

Yelu Bei bowed to Yelu Abaoji on both knees.

"Thank you for the grace of your father."

"Flat".

At this time, the propagandist sang again: "Please give His Royal Highness the crown prince a ribbon."

The Zhongshu Shilang took the crown prince's seal and handed it to the Zhongshu Order with both hands.

Yelu was happy to take the crown prince's seal in Zhongshuling's hand with both hands.

The middle book order is reset. The squire under the door, the squire in the middle book and the two Ling Shi retired.

The prince gave up the people and led Yelu to retreat.

The music sounded, and Jelubei walked out of the gate of the Xuanqing Palace, and the music stopped.

The preacher then sang, "The salute is over."

Jerod's light was like a hundred claws scratching his heart, and he stood aside and watched. He said to himself, "One day, I will change my fate."

Outside the Xuanqing Palace, the prince sang loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been promoted to gold (lu)".

The attendants supported him on either side, and Jerod was mounted in a massive carriage.

Honor guards, advocates, etc. are juxtaposed outside the gate of the Xuanqing Palace.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince-up-drive-back-palace-".

The ministers led before and after the golden chariot and walked with a cymbal.

Yelu Deguang quietly chased to the main gate of the East Palace, and watched Yelu Bei enter the East Palace before stopping stupidly.

The crown prince's car drove to the main gate of the East Palace and stopped.

The ministers knelt down and bowed: "The ministers welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace."

The crown prince sang: "The crown prince's palace descends the golden chariot (lu)".

At this time, the honor guard of the East Palace welcomed Yelubei back to the main hall of the East Palace of the crown prince, and the ceremony of enclosing the crown prince lasted for two hours, and finally came to an end.

In 917 A.D., Yelu Abaoji enshrined the emperor's eldest son, Yelu Bei, as the crown prince, thus abolishing the old system of the Chan Dynasty that was elected every three years and establishing the imperial power as a hereditary system. (To be continued.) )
