Chapter 294: To Each His Heart
"Since everyone has seconded the proposal, okay, I immediately decreed that the eldest prince Liu Sheng should be canonized as the crown prince, and the canonization ceremony will be held in three days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
After a short time, the official of Bingbi wrote the holy decree on the yellow silk, and the emperor personally stamped the big seal and read it in the hall, and the emperor asked the Ministry of Rites to send the matter of establishing the prince to all states and counties in the form of a document, and summoned the whole country, so that all the people would know about it.
At this point, Liu Sheng's position as crown prince has no objection, and no one can deprive him of it, except for the emperor himself, or rebellion.
Liu Sheng knelt on the top of the main hall, his hands trembled a little and received the holy decree, to this day, he still can't believe it, the unreachable position is only one step away from him, and he will also ascend to the throne of Jinluan in the near future, and he and Rui Brother will no longer have to live in fear, and the revenge of the queen mother can also be avenged.
Tears welled up in his eyes, with tears in his eyes, Liu Sheng sincerely bowed: "Thank you father, my sons must live up to my father's love, and I will do my best to protect my Han Kingdom and the people of Han Kingdom." ”
Raising his head, he seemed to see the emperor sitting on him smiling gently and lovingly, just like before the death of his mother, at this moment, he felt that his father was so close to him, and the ditches, misunderstandings and grievances had all disappeared, and his father and himself were still the father and son who had no estrangement and no separation.
Liu Rui stood next to him, sincerely happy for the imperial brother, even happier than being the prince, the imperial brother made his wishes come true, he could show his talents in the future, and he never doubted that the imperial brother had such an ability, and he should be liberated, no longer have to be imprisoned by this small imperial capital, he can go to the world, enjoy the beautiful scenery, taste the food, I don't know if what the righteous brother said before counts?
Even Liu Min sincerely congratulated Liu Sheng, although he and the eldest brother have no brotherhood, but the eldest brother is better than the third emperor brother and the fifth emperor brother, at least the eldest brother will not kill himself and the Shu family, and he also knows that the mother concubine gave up fighting for the crown prince, in addition to the father's intention, the eldest brother should also give the mother concubine a promise. He doesn't have to be a prince, let alone an emperor, he can live the life he wants in the future, thinking of this, Liu Min smiled.
Only Liu Ji looked at the emperor with a pale face and blank eyes, his dream was finally shattered, it was the person above, the person who gave birth to him and raised him, and the person he called his father destroyed his dream with his own hands, and also erased the only father-son relationship with his own hands.
He hated, hated Liu Sheng, he was not as good as him but robbed him of his position; hated the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and the treachery was all the people who saw the wind and made the rudder; He also hated the Jin family, controlled his life, gave him the greatest hope, and made him suffer the most embarrassing disappointment; He even hated his father, queen and mother, but with so much hatred, he could only hold it in his heart, and he couldn't show the slightest bit, let alone do anything inappropriate.
So he could only grit his teeth and clench his fists, desperately suppressing his anger, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying.
When the internal official shouted "retreat from the court" and the emperor left, he relaxed and walked out of this golden and brilliant hall, and all the people who surrounded him in the past surrounded Liu Sheng's side, only he stepped down the long steps alone, and his lonely back gradually disappeared outside the empty square.
"Congratulations to the Prince."
"Greetings to Your Highness." ……
"Thank you." Ministers kept coming to congratulate, and Liu Sheng also replied with a smile one by one, looking particularly friendly and polite.
Lin Dongyang, General Peng and others were squeezed into the periphery instead, looking at Liu Sheng, who was holding the moon in the stars, the two looked at each other and smiled.
After entertaining many ministers, Liu Sheng walked over to them, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Peng, Lord Lin, Lord Xu, it is better to meet by chance, if a few adults are fine, it is better to go to the house to sit down, there is a newly harvested autumn tea brought back from Liangzhou in the house, although it is not rare, there are some special features." ”
"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, since His Royal Highness invites me, we will gladly go."
"Haha, it would be better if there was good wine."
"Master Peng is old and strong, and he is as addicted to alcohol as he was back then. There is some good wine in the house, but I don't dare to give it to Master Peng, in case I get drunk, Brother Peng will definitely settle accounts with me when he comes back. ”
"Hahaha, Your Highness, rest assured, that stinky boy in my family doesn't dare to take care of his old man......"
With the laughter, several people walked out of the hall together, and Liu Rui pulled Liu Min out after him, "Brother Huang is waiting for us, we also want to taste the autumn tea in Liangzhou." ”
Liu Qimu walked out of the Jinluan Palace in a daze, he didn't know where he was going, walked in the palace, and unconsciously arrived outside the Chaoyang Palace.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Liu Qi was depressed, Jin Yafu, the Golden Queen, was busy sending the irrelevant palace people down, and asked with worry and dissatisfaction.
Liu Qi stared at his queen mother, and suddenly smiled, his smile was a little crazy in Jin Yafu's eyes, which made Jin Yafu take a step back unconsciously, "Qi'er, what are you laughing at?" Did something happen? ”
"What's the matter, of course it's a good thing, Queen Mother, tell you, Liu Sheng has become the prince, hahaha, he has become the prince, shouldn't we be happy? You ask Erchen what he is laughing at, Erchen is laughing at us, we have worked hard in vain, and in the end it is just to make wedding clothes for others, haha, what is the position of the prince is mine, and the throne is also mine, all of them are lies, all of them are deceiving themselves......"
Liu Qi laughed and screamed a little crazy, his voice was very loud, but now Jin Yafu didn't have the energy to pay attention to whether it would be heard by others, she was stunned by the words "Liu Sheng became the prince".
Impossible, impossible, my father said that the position of the crown prince must be that of Zhen'er, and with my father here, this kind of mistake will never occur. Thinking of this, Jin Yafu asked with some hesitation: "Did you hear it wrong?" ”
"Did you hear it wrong? Erchen also hopes that Erchen heard it wrong, mother, wake up, this is the father's decree in front of the court, summoning the whole country, I am afraid that no one in the palace does not know now, and it will not be long before the imperial capital and even the whole country will know, he Liu Sheng is the crown prince and the future emperor, and I, Liu Ji, am nothing, nothing......"
The more Liu Qi spoke, the quieter his voice became, and when he said that later, tears fell from his eyes, which were tears of disappointment, tears of helplessness, and tears of resentment.
Jin Yafu finally understood, and was stunned for a moment before staggering back and slumping on the queen's throne behind her, "How come?" How so? ”
Suddenly remembered the Jin family, like grasping at the life-saving straw, "Father, what did he say, father?" ”
Liu Ji shook his head.
"Impossible, impossible, my Jin family has been in business for decades, as long as my father comes forward, there is nothing that can't be done, Qi'er, don't worry, the queen mother will go to your grandfather now, go now."
Jin Yafu stood up from the throne in a panic, and before Liu Ji could stop it, he heard the shrill voice of the internal official at the palace gate: "Your Majesty has arrived." (To be continued.) )
