Chapter 357: Succession

To do the matter of Zhuo Wangsun, Concubine Liu originally thought that she was going to ask Mrs. Dou directly, according to the Empress Dowager Dou's temperament, as long as it is her daughter's request, as long as it is not too much, she will agree.

However, after thinking about it, Liu Yan still felt that this matter should be talked to Liu Rong.

After all, he has received a deposit of 1,000 gold from King Zhuo. Of course, it is necessary to get this matter done, if there is really something wrong and this matter is not done, then it will smash the signboard of the princess of the Tao Pavilion who responds to her needs, and who will send gold to herself in the future.

As far as this is concerned, Liu Yan began to think about how to talk to Liu Rong about this matter.

However, Liu Rong also knew that Liu Rong was busy with an important matter at this time!

What Taibu divined was that the time for the successor prince to the queen's name has arrived!

Succeeding the crown prince, this is still the only thing in the Han family, for this matter, Taichang Pingyang Hou Cao Qi, and Zong Zheng and others, but they are very busy.

With the permission of the Son of Heaven, he went to Tianlu Pavilion to inquire about many classics, but there seemed to be no precedent for the succession of the prince in ancient times.

Not to mention the matter of succeeding the crown prince.

Many of the rituals inherent in the Han family were formulated by Shusun Tong and a group of Confucian scholars at the beginning, so Cao Shi and others had to go to some Confucian Confucians to ask about this matter.

After formulating a set of etiquette, it was finally submitted to Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, and asked the Son of Heaven to review it.

After Liu Qi, the son of heaven, finally made a final review, it was determined.

After that, he ordered someone to send the music to the palace and the Jiaofang Palace, so that Liu Rong and Queen Bo could familiarize themselves with it in advance.

Therefore, Liu Rong decided to inform Liu Rong after the prince's succession was over.

And Liu Rong, who is the party concerned, is naturally very happy after receiving Cao's recital, and this succession is finally about to settle.

In a few days, he will be the eldest son and prince of the Han family, and his position will of course be more stable.

Not long after, Liu Rong immediately rode into the palace to the Jiaofang Palace to see Queen Bo.

When I arrived in the Jiaofang Palace, I saw Bo Rongnu, the Marquis of Citrus, in the hall.

Immediately, Liu Rong saluted and said: "The son of the minister to meet the queen mother."

A few days later, Liu Rong was her "real" son, and Queen Bo was naturally very happy.

Seeing Liu Rong coming, he said with a smile: "The prince is here, get up quickly, do it."

"Thank your mother," Liu Rong said.

After Liu Rong sat on the seat, Bo Rongnu on the side immediately spoke: "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

At this time, Liu Rongcai said: "It turns out that the marquis of Jiaofang is also in the Jiaofang Palace."

"The old minister just happened to come to the palace to visit the queen, but didn't he meet His Royal Highness."

Liu Rong secretly said in his heart: What about deceiving ghosts, this is true, I am afraid that I don't even believe in ghosts, I just went to Jiaofang Hall to visit the queen, this Bo Zhao must have heard the rumors, these days, it is time for me to succeed to the queen's name.

Hearing this, Liu Rong smiled without smiling, and then didn't say anything more............

"How is the queen mother doing?" , Liu Rong, who was kneeling in the hall, said.

"The prince has a heart, and the palace is fine, especially after drinking the ginseng soup that the prince ordered a few days ago, it is naturally better.

It's just that His Majesty's illness has not seen a major improvement recently......."

Speaking of this, Queen Bo, who was still smiling, turned from joy to sadness, and her face was even more worried.

And Liu Rong was busy bowing and said: "Erchen has often gone to the Gao Temple to pray for his father's blessing recently, and I think that Emperor Gao will bless his father."

For his father's illness, even Chun Yuyi is a little helpless, and Liu Rong, who is a medical idiot, can only do these things to ask for his father's blessing.

However, a few days later, it was time to perform the succession ceremony, and on the eve before that, it snowed heavily in Chang'an, and after the heavy snow, the entire Chang'an City was covered with a thick layer of snow.

Standing in front of the window of the Bing Palace, looking at the snow outside the window, Liu Rong sighed with emotion: "Ruixue is a good year."

However, looking at the white Liu Rong outside the window, he suddenly thought of something and sneered.

And Yiji, who was standing on the side behind Liu Rong, didn't know why Liu Rong was laughing.

He asked, "I wonder why His Highness is laughing."

Turning his head to look at Yi Ji on the side, Liu Rong smiled and said, "Lone just thought of a poem describing the snow scene and smiled."

Hearing this, Yi Ji didn't know what was funny about a poem, and asked: "I don't know what kind of poem it is, it can make His Highness laugh when he thinks about it, can I also tell the concubine."

In this way, Liu Rong remembered it and said: "One by one, one by one, two by three, four or five." Six, seven, eight or nine, flying into the reeds and not seeing."

The poem that Liu Rong read was written by Emperor Qianlong, who called himself a perfect old man in the Qing Dynasty.

However, Qianlong claimed to have written 43,630 poems in his life, and the poems written by Li Bai and Du Fu together were less than a fraction of them.

However, the Tang Dynasty, which is famous for its poetry, has only more than 48,900 Tang poems handed down more than 260 years since its founding, but this is only more than 5,000 poems written by this perfect old man alone.

It's just that most of the old man's level of writing poetry is extremely worrying.

In the Tang Dynasty, what Li Dayou wrote, heaven and earth are general, and there are black holes in the well; The black dog is white, and the white dog is swollen, which can be regarded as a dozen oil poems.

Qianlong, who calls himself a perfect old man, wrote this, one by one, maybe he can only teach kindergarten children to learn how to count............

Yiji, who was standing beside Liu Rong, laughed when she heard the poem recited by Liu Rong, and said: "Your Highness, don't make fun of the concubine, how can there be such a poem in the world."

And Liu Rong said: "How can it not be, this poem is written by a poet who is called a perfect old man."

"Perfect old man? The concubine has never heard of it."

And Yiji then said: "Your Highness, let's go to bed quickly, and I will go to the high temple early tomorrow morning."

……………………………………………………………………………

The next day, at the end of the hour, a maid entered the hall and woke up Liu Rong.

"Your Highness, it's time for the Supreme Temple."

Hearing this, Liu Rong got up, and under the service of a group of attendants and maids, he put on his clothes and clothes, and drove to the high temple by car.

Along the way, Liu Rong could still see a thick layer of snow on both sides of the road.

But before arriving at the high temple, I saw that in the entire high temple, there was no sign of snow, as if the high temple was forgotten when it snowed.

Of course, this is impossible, this should be someone specially ordered by someone, just kidding, the first day after the snow, is the time when the Son of Heaven and the prince, the queen, and the hundred officials want to come to the high temple.

In particular, this succession ceremony will be carried out in a square in front of the high temple.

Could it be that the prince knelt in the snow nest to perform the ceremony?

In the era of imperial autocracy, everything must first serve the supreme imperial power.

Although it is said that people can't control when it will snow, they can still control where the snow that falls on this day accumulates.

However, when Liu Rong arrived here, it was still early, and his father, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, and Queen Bo naturally had not yet arrived.

Only a few scattered ministers arrived.

As soon as they saw the prince coming, they all approached Liu Rong and bowed down: "The minister greets His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Everyone's family is exempt from courtesy", Liu Rong said with a smile.

"Your Highness".

However, in a short time, the sun rises in the east.

Shining on the temple of this high temple of the Han family, it gives people a sense of sacredness.

And after nearly an hour, when it was time to arrive, the ministers and marquis in Chang'an had arrived, and the Luan of the Son of Heaven drove slowly.

After the car stopped, a messenger stepped forward and opened the curtain of the car, and Liu Qicai, the son of heaven, under the support of Queen Bo, wore cotton clothes and twelve crowns, and walked off the frame.

Looking at Dad's complexion, it is still much better than a few days ago, but on this cold winter day, Dad is frozen outside, and I don't know if it's good or bad.

After getting out of the car, Queen Bo looked at Liu Qi, the son of heaven, with a worried look on her face.

Holding the hand of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, he began to sweat a little.

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, of course, saw that Queen Bo was nervous, stretched out his other hand, patted Queen Bo's hand that was a little trembling and supported her, and whispered, "The queen doesn't have to worry, I'm fine."

Then, it was to let go of Queen Bo's hand and begin to step up the imperial steps before the temple, the emperor, in the final analysis, was actually a lonely person.

In the life of an emperor, it is impossible to have such a thing as a friend.

Although it is said that there are many people in the world who want to help the emperor.

But in many cases, the emperor does not need the help of others!

Just like the situation of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, today, although it looks good, it is still very weak.

On the next step, it seems a little difficult, if it is placed on weekdays, it is natural to need someone to support it.

But today is different, it is to perform a great ceremony in the high temple, before the throne of Emperor Gao, how can the son of heaven of the Han family need the support of others.

After a long while, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, can be regarded as having completed the high temple, the imperial steps in front of the temple.

After turning around, the ministers and Liu Rong who were standing on both sides immediately saluted and said, "The minister has to meet Your Majesty."

Glancing at everyone, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said: "All the ministers are exempt from courtesy."

Looking at his father's extremely resolute expression, Liu Rong said secretly: I went to see my father yesterday, and my father is not as energetic as he is today.

Then Liu Rong immediately thought, yes, Daddy must be eating ginseng again.

Otherwise, with his current physical condition, he would definitely not be able to insist on presiding over this succession ceremony.

A few days ago, when he received a report from Cao Qi and others about this succession etiquette, Liu Rong felt that this etiquette seemed to be too cumbersome, and if he followed the steps on this recital.

Daddy has to stand in the cold wind for more than half an hour, where can Daddy stand up.

For this reason, Liu Rong specially brought Cao Qi and others to discuss with them whether they could streamline some of the steps.

This is a difficult time for Cao Qi, this is a plan that His Majesty has reviewed and agreed, but now the prince has to streamline it.

Seeing that Cao Qi was a little hesitant, Liu Rong went directly to the palace to meet his father and explain the matter.

Of course, no matter what Liu Rong said, he couldn't say it, for fear that his father was not in good health and it would be unbearable to stand in the cold wind for a long time.

If he said so, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, would definitely be furious, boy, do you think that I can't do it!?

Liu Rong didn't want to face such a soul torture at all.

Solid this, he said to his father: On such a cold winter day, it is all because of his own affairs, and he has to bother his father and queen mother, and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, they suffer in the severe cold together, and they feel guilty, so they came to ask their father if they can streamline the steps of this etiquette.

Of course, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, understood what Liu Rong meant, and finally agreed under Liu Rong's persuasion.
