Crown Prince Xuanyuan Chenghua woke up, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the crown prince's ceremony was held as scheduled.

On the day of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Longdu City finally ushered in a rare happy event, and King Xuanyuan Chenghua of Zhao accepted the canonization of the crown prince.

Presiding over the canonization ceremony was a member of the royal family, the fourth emperor uncle Xuanyuan Zijin.

This fourth emperor uncle, who almost married his daughter to Fanbang, has now become one of the few survivors of the royal family. The four emperor uncles in Longdu thought about avoiding the danger brought by the battle for the crown prince, but if there is either a mob rebellion or the displacement of the disaster people in various places today, or it is the land of poisonous insects and beasts far away from the emperor of the mountain, although Xuanyuan Zijin has the heart to leave the chaos of Longdu, but he is even more reluctant to be involved in a dangerous place, so he has been staying in Longdu City, even if he is not knighted, he is willing to stay here and be free.

So the Fourth Emperor Uncle Xuanyuan Zijin, a member of the royal family, has now become the host of the ceremony. In order to promote Xuanyuan Zijin's identity, Zhang Xiaowu nominated him as one of the elders of the Senate, and the Senate passed it by a rare vote, so Xuanyuan Zijin also became the youngest senator of the Senate - only forty years old.

For Xuanyuan Zijin, he has no ambition and desire, he can get the identity of a patriarch, he is already satisfied, at the prince's ceremony, Xuanyuan Zijin presided over very excitingly.

When the fourth emperor uncle handed over the heirloom jade seal symbolizing the inheritance of imperial power to Xuanyuan Chenghua, he saw that the crown prince Chenghua didn't care about this "jade pimple", after he took the jade seal, he first looked at it, and then turned around and handed the heirloom jade seal to Shang Wan'er, the maid next to him, and then turned around and asked: "Is it still over, Fourth uncle, I'm hungry, why is this?" ”

There was a vague sense of ominousness in everyone's hearts, but they couldn't tell what it was.

Xuanyuan Zijin smiled embarrassedly, and immediately whispered: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you need to wait for the hundred officials to pay their respects before it can be over, wait a minute, the process is very simple, you just need to sit here, the hundred officials will bow one by one, you don't have to move or speak, and when they all bow to the end, I will naturally come out to preside." ”

Chenghua was unhappy: "There are too many officials, can't ten fourth uncle?" ”

Xuanyuan Zijin hurriedly said: "Naturally, it doesn't work. ”

Chenghua said: "Why are the rules so annoying, or change them." ”

Xuanyuan Zi couldn't cry or laugh, this prince was too casual, the rules that had been passed down for hundreds of years could not be changed.

Shang Wan'er warned in Chenghua's ear: "This is the rule, the rule set by the ancestors, don't make trouble." ”

Chenghua saw that Shang Wan'er said so, so he could only pout and "endure silently" The hundred officials stepped forward to meet in turn, and the hundred officials looked at such a young child as a prince, and they also had different thoughts, some were unconvinced, some were sincerely convinced, and so on. And when Zhang Xiaowu stepped forward, Chenghua suddenly jumped down from the chair, stepped forward and took Zhang Xiaowu's hand and said, "Father, father, sit next to me, it's so boring, you accompany me." ”

Baiguan was suddenly shocked in his heart, when did Zhang Xiaowu have such an important identity as a father, and throughout the history of the Holy Han Dynasty, only two emperors had a father, but these two fathers were given to the three super ministers who were about to die, and Zhang Xiaowu was only twenty-three years old, and he became the prince's father? What kind of relationship is this, in the future, when the crown prince will be in power, then Zhang Xiaowu's control of state power will no longer be unmatched.

It is true that there have been many powerful ministers in the history of the Holy Han Dynasty, but all the powerful ministers have a common characteristic, that is, they can be countered by other forces, and the court can reach a delicate balance. And Zhang Xiaowu is so young and in power, and is also known as the prince's father, it is really hard to imagine who can control him.

Zhang Xiaowu smiled embarrassedly, waved his hands and whispered: "The prince sits down, don't move, so many people are looking at you." ”

"Oh." Chenghua sat down obediently.

Rows of horns sounded, and a long and solemn sound resounded throughout Longdu City, and all the people heard the horn, and the people learned at this time that the Holy Han Empire would have a crown prince.

The crown prince's canonization ceremony continued, and the prince entered the temple to worship the ancestral tablets, but Chenghua was too young, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants when he looked at the rows of tablets. It was Shang Wan'er who encouraged and threatened on the side, and Chenghua had the courage to stick to the whole process.

Although Zhang Xiaowu was a little worried about his apprentice, after all, the crown prince's canonization ceremony was very smooth, and from today on, the crown prince of the Holy Han Empire, Xuanyuan Chenghua, would become the next king, and he was qualified to rank above the main hall, although he was only seven years old.

The crown prince's canonization ceremony was simple and grand, Zhang Xiaowu finally put his mind at ease, although the emperor became a puppet, but the prince grew up healthily, and there are so many famous teachers to teach, presumably in the future Xuanyuan Chenghua is a good emperor who is both civil and military. But Chenghua has a requirement for both literature and martial arts, that is, he must be accompanied by Shang Wan'er, otherwise he will not study. Once the child makes trouble, the adults will not help, especially since this person is the crown prince, so everyone has no choice but to meet his requirements and let Shang Wan'er accompany Chenghua to learn the art of governing the country.

Gradually, several of the prince's teachers found that Shang Wan'er was much smarter than the crown prince Chenghua, and she could teach everything at one point, whether it was ancient examples, Confucian culture, or even lyrics and poetry, Shang Wan'er, the companion maid, understood earlier than the prince, and even several teachers were more willing to teach the more intelligent Shang Wan'er.

Gou Delu saw it in his eyes and was worried in his heart, so he found Zhang Xiaowu and informed him of the matter. But although Zhang Xiaowu is Chenghua's father and master, he can't control the thoughts of children. Chenghua is not a person with big ambitions, because his parents have almost no love since he was a child, and he is extremely insecure. Zhang Xiaowu gave him a sense of security, but Shang Wan'er, a resolute and even a little stern sister, gave him a sense of security.

Zhang Xiaowu heard one thing, after Chenghua was poisoned, Wang Jingzhi investigated everyone who served Chenghua, but found nothing. But when they were released, Shang Wan'er was extremely cruel in front of Chenghua, and said to those palace maids and eunuchs: "One of you has harmed my brother, and I can't find him, but the bad guy is one of you." So, you all have to die. Subsequently, she informed Xia Ming, the general of the Royal Forest Army, and let the Royal Forest Army see that the two dozen or so people were all killed.

Zhang Xiaowu has always been worried about Shang Wan'er's psychological state, but he didn't hesitate when he saw Shang Wan'er kill more than 20 people with a cane, as if he had pinched more than 20 ants to death, he was even more worried, lest she make a mistake. Fortunately, although Shang Wan'er is cruel to outsiders, she is very good to her own people, especially for her "younger brother" Xuanyuan Chenghua, who cares and loves her, and has a sense of protecting the calves of a young female beast. Sometimes the teachers reprimanded Chenghua during their lectures, and Shang Wan'er's cold eyes looked over, and the sixty or seventy-year-old old scholars would tremble with fright.
