Without a Trace Chapter 7 Chapter 34 Establishing the Reserve

、、、、、、、

Three days later, at the court meeting, the discussion on the selection of the prince suddenly became sparse, due to the sudden fall of the wind without words, the He family was unable to find another person to support within a few days, no matter how quickly they responded, so they could only be silent in the court. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could only watch a few courtiers arguing about whether it was the eldest son or the youngest son of Empress Xiao, but only a few insignificant officials supported Feng Wuxi, although He Weitao and the others had been optimistic about the eleventh prince at the beginning, but at this moment, they had to make the best choice in their favor.

Therefore, when He Weitao, Yue Qianfan and Mi Jingfu stood up together to protect the promotion, the entire court was suddenly silent. Even if Hai Guanyu didn't speak, people knew his intentions, after all, his two granddaughters were married to Feng Wuxi. And Prince Feng's love for this nephew is also a well-known thing, as for Bao Huasheng, he will only obey the emperor's will, so there is nothing to fear. At this moment, the three officials representing the strongest of the six departments stood up to defend the promotion, and the momentum was not unpopular.

The wind did not hesitate to suppress the resentment in his heart, and his fingers were already bent to the point that the knuckles turned white. This momentum should have belonged to him, but now it has been stolen by others, how can he not hate? Although it was extremely inappropriate to speak out against it at this moment, he still looked at the ministers who had sworn to follow him with expectant eyes, and yet, all of them looked elsewhere. No one wants to come out of the top tank when the overall situation has been decided, after all, judging from the current situation, it is already a matter of nine out of ten things to establish a reserve without a trace.

However, people who don't know the current affairs still have land after all, and Bao Huasheng didn't expect that it was one of his subordinates who stood up to refute it. Gong Jiade was newly appointed to the Supervision Yuan. But he admired Shi Mingquan who bluntly impeached Hai Guanyu at the beginning, so he also knelt down with his neck and admonished: "Emperor Qi, although His Royal Highness the Seventh is a son-in-law. But the original oath is still there, and everyone knows it. It is inappropriate to be appointed as a prince. Since ancient times, there is no faith, and the matter of establishing a prince must not be judged solely by talent and temperament, it is better to add His Royal Highness as an auxiliary prince and His Royal Highness Eleven as the prince, so that he can set up a queen's concubine. It can also be edicted to the emperor's faithfulness, which is a blessing for the country. ”

Di Feng, who was already hopeless, couldn't help but be overjoyed, he didn't have any friendship with Gong Jiade at all, but at this time, he accepted the other party's great favor, and his face suddenly became bright. Even many of the other courtiers below agreed with this proposal, but they did not dare to echo it at this time. Even He Weitao was slightly stunned, but he didn't make a sound, he knew in his heart that if Xiao Yunchao was here at this time, maybe he would vigorously advocate this suggestion. It's a pity that he just caught a glimpse of the murderous intent in the emperor's eyes. Therefore, they will never dare to speak rashly.

Sure enough, the emperor's cold voice sounded in the court, "Although Traceless once said that he had no intention of taking the throne. He never deliberately competed for favor, but at that time he said this because he was still young, how could the matter of establishing a prince be decided by a child's babbling? The Emperor actually prevaricated lightly.

"Since ancient times, it is important to be justifiable. But as a future human king, the most important thing is to measure and talent. It is a pity that although he is also the queen's concubine, he lives in the palace and has little involvement in practice, and secondly, he is still young, so he may not be able to take on the important responsibility of the prince. Therefore, in contrast, Wuxian has been involved in local government affairs, the center of the imperial court, and even military affairs, and the six ministers are praised. During the period of respecting the mausoleum, it was instructed by the ancestors, and the heavenly auspiciousness was a good omen. If I was confined to the small righteousness of the land and abandoned the great righteousness of the country, how could I be worthy of Lingyun's ancestors and ancestors? Although the emperor's voice was not high, the Manchu officials could hear it clearly. This Supreme is so partial to the wind without a trace, if they still can't grasp the holy will, then they will be in vain.

Even Gong Jiade couldn't find the words to refute it, after all, he was a speech official, and this kind of intriguing errand was naturally inferior to others, even the words he said earlier had already been prepared, so he could only listen to the emperor's lessons with dumbfounded eyes at this time. "Ministers, it is a good thing that you have vigorously promoted the prince, but overcorrection will inevitably lose the way of justice. The establishment of the prince is my family affair, and it is also a great state affair of the imperial court, so I do not shy away from suspicion and let the secretaries discuss. If you only think about the gains and losses of one time and one place, how can you grasp the general trend? The emperor's gaze swept over the ministers, his body straightened up again, and his face, which had lost more and more luster because of old age, was once again filled with the air of a king.

The emperor's gaze stopped on Shangdi of the Ministry of Rites, and called in a deep voice: "Ma Fengchu! ”

Ma Fengchu immediately went out and prostrate, and the hearts of the others couldn't help but chuckle, and at the same time, a thought flashed that the general trend was decided. Everyone knows what kind of errand the Ministry of Rites is in charge of, and since the emperor has already spoken out, the next thing is the Lichu ceremony.

Feng Wuxian already felt a wet feeling behind him, and although he had almost guessed the supreme intention on the throne, he still felt a throbbing when he heard his father defend him like this. He couldn't remember the words of that day for a long time, and the so-called oath was actually far inferior to what he had said when he played the right words alone in the palace of diligence that day. If that passage flows

In the ears of others, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to establish a reserve this time. Although the recital in the court was not over, he could no longer hear anything.

According to the emperor's will, the Ministry of Rites had to reduce the preparation time for the ceremony, which had been several months, to one month.

On April 16, the 29th year of Wanlie, the hundred officials gathered in the Taihe Palace, and Bao Huasheng, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, led the crown prince to the emperor's throne without a trace, facing the throne to the north, and the prime minister Haiguanyu stood in the northwest of the prince, facing east, and read out the emperor's policy. After reading, the prince of hooligan held the prince's seal, solemnly handed it to the prince, and the prince bowed to the three chiefs. After the crown prince received the seal, the hundred officials were promoted to the palace to congratulate the emperor long live, and the emperor issued an amnesty edict.

Then, the emperor brought the crown prince and many royal families to pay homage to the ancestral hall, only to the apse, and to the Temple of Heaven to worship heaven and earth. At this point, Feng Wuji, as the first crown prince canonized by Emperor Wanlie Feng Huanzhao, officially entered the East Palace, and watched things in Ming Songxuan in the imperial city. The next day, the princes and other royal families went to the prince's east palace to meet and perform two kneeling and six bows, and the prince ceremony was completed.

Since Feng Wuxian is already the crown prince, the daughters of Prince Yuanqin's mansion are naturally also rising. According to the emperor's decree, Prince Qin Princess Hai Ruoxin was canonized as the crown princess, and the other three daughters also enjoyed the title of crown prince's side concubine, and the maid who accompanied Jingling was also promoted to concubine because she was pregnant. And the servants and maids in the original palace were naturally happy, and the master was the future emperor, so it was not difficult for them, the chickens and dogs, who were subordinates, to ascend to heaven. Even Fan Qingcheng, who had always kept a straight face, rarely showed joy, and after asking for instructions on the wind without a trace, he announced that the original palace would have a day off, and naturally everyone was happy.

Feng Wuxi's joy only lasted long, and after the ceremony, the emperor summoned him alone, and the intention of rushing to establish a prince was naturally revealed truthfully. Feng Wuxian was stunned, but his heart was both worried and happy, worried that the road to Mongolia was long, and the ambition of the Dzungar wolf was unpredictable; Happy, but the emperor promised to put Zen in him after returning this time, and let him take charge of the government as soon as possible. However, what Feng Wuxian was most worried about in his heart was the emperor's body, and he had to know that if there was any change in the palace when he was outside, he would not be able to respond to it. However, the emperor's request is reasonable, and if such a major event as the Huimeng is sent to an ordinary prince, how can he serve the public, so as the crown prince, he is duty-bound.

The Empress Xiao of Kunning Palace has been sleeping extremely peacefully recently, and although the emperor has not been in charge for several days, her son has finally become the prince as she wished, which is better than anything else. Even Rouping was smiling all day long, and those palace maids and eunuchs who were afraid of tigers were also secretly relieved. Now that the wish of the master has been granted, they will have a good life as slaves. Once the crown prince ascends the throne, Queen Xiao is the justifiable queen mother, who dares to look up to the harem?

Feng walked in the palace without a trace, and deeply felt the changes brought about by the difference in identity. In the past, when entering the palace, although those eunuchs and palace maids were respectful on their faces, they had never been so afraid as they are today, and that feeling came from their awe of the new lord of the palace.

"Slave maid to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Rouping curtsied, she didn't dare to take the big one at this time, the young man in front of her was no longer the ignorant prince of the year, but the prince who could take over the throne in the future. She is a palace maid, but she is not even qualified to stammer, where can she dare to call herself an elder like before.

"Rouping, you don't need to be so formalized when no one is in the future." Feng Wuxi's attitude towards Rouping is still as gentle as ever, but the title of Aunt Ping has been abandoned, after all, such an intimate title is no longer appropriate at this time, "Of course, you have to keep the etiquette in front of outsiders, but you might as well be loose in private." You are the henchman of the queen mother, and you have served her old man for so many years, and Lone will not treat you as an outsider. ”

Rou Ping's heart moved, and as soon as she wanted to answer, she heard the voice of Queen Xiao from inside. "Is it Traceless, why don't you come in? Rouping, why are you becoming more and more unruly, how can you talk to him on your own. Rouping hurriedly responded, and hurriedly led the wind into the traceless, and when she saw the master, she turned around and saluted: "The slave maid made a mistake just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just joking with the slave maid, but it makes the mother anxious." She said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a different identity now, where do slaves and maids dare to be casual, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it, there are many people with bad intentions in this harem." ”

Xiao nodded in agreement, and then turned to his son, only to see that Feng Wuxian was wearing the embroidered gold prince's regular clothes, the golden dragon embroidery on the top seemed to be about to crack out of the silk, the waist was tied with a bright yellow ribbon, the silk tassels on the dragon jade pendant were neat, and there was a pair of deerskin boots under his feet, which looked quite spiritual.

She couldn't help stroking her palms and smiled: "Traceless's outfit is very good, this palace didn't see that you had such momentum at the beginning, it was really a person who relied on clothes, and now it looks like a different person." Rouping also flattered as if on the side, and her face turned slightly red when she heard the wind without a trace. Lingyun Zhiyi Without a Trace Volume 7 Winning the Throne Chapter 34 Lichu
