Unlike the canonization ceremony of the crown prince that was quite complicated in Southern Wu from the founding of the country, the canonization of the crown prince in Northern Yan was quite simple at the beginning, as if it was just a coming-of-age ceremony after a hunt. However, after more than 100 years of founding the country, the originally simple procedure is now due to the increasing number of Han officials, the etiquette is becoming more and more complicated, and there are countless red tapes.

Therefore, after getting up early in the morning to eat and go out, Yue Xiaosi, as the official envoy of today's festival canonization, had to accept the indiscriminate bombardment of various ceremonial officials like a marionette, and couldn't help but be extremely irritable.

However, even if the Yue family is ridiculed as an upstart, it is still the home of an official eunuch, and his father has already been an official after he is sensible, so he still has some such experience. It's just a pity that Zhen Rong had been at the mercy of others once when he was canonized as the king of Jin before, and today he was tossed around again from beginning to end, and when he joined Yue Xiaosi, that face was completely blue.

Although the crowns of the two of them are extremely grand, and their postures are straight, and they can't find anything wrong at first glance, in the eyes of the ceremonial officials, this canonization is still child's play. Who has ever seen a prince act as a chief envoy and a prince as a deputy envoy? Even if the two say that they are righteous fathers and righteous sons, the elders and youngsters of this generation should succumb to the dignity of their status, otherwise they will be replaced!

What's more, both of them have the surname Xiao, not Ji! When was the crown prince canonized, even the royal family didn't come forward?

But in the end, it was the cadres of the Northern Yan Emperor who were arbitrary, and the officials could only slander and dare not say anything. When they surrounded these two hot relatives and nobles into the mansion of the three princes with the middle door wide open, they saw that the three princes who were about to come out were thin and inadequate, and they couldn't help but feel that the emperor was really rash to canonize the crown prince this time.

The third prince sent away the twelve princesses and the fourth Xiao Jingxian yesterday, and he didn't sleep well all night. Because of his childhood circumstances, he has always been a sensitive and thoughtful person, how could he not notice the strange expressions of several courtesy officials? Secretly angry in his heart, he firmly remembered these people, and just wanted to let them know that they were powerful in the future.

However, after receiving the order and saluting, he was ready to leave for the palace to meet the emperor, but he did not find the opportunity to talk to Yue Xiaosi Zhen Rong.

Naturally, he wanted to ask the eldest princess if she had her whereabouts, whether she had caught a possible rebel, and so on, so he could only hold it in his heart.

On the way to the palace, the third prince sitting in the crown prince's golden palace was afraid, afraid that an assassin would come out somewhere, or a surprise army would rush out halfway to intercept him. But he walked all the way with trepidation, until he entered the palace, and he was always safe. Seeing that Xu Changhou personally led the forbidden army to escort him, he breathed a deep sigh of relief, and his high heart fell for the time being.

Even if it is the new crown prince, it is the same in the face of the new rules that must be walked in the imperial city and the palace city. In the past, the three princes did not walk this way, but he didn't sleep well last night, and he didn't dare to eat and drink because today's ceremony would definitely take a long time, plus the bright but heavy crown prince crown dress was worn on his body, and when he barely walked to the gate of the palace to stop, the third prince felt that his physical strength was a little unbearable, and he was a little breathless.

Knowing that he was not good at martial arts, and his body was not mediocre, he couldn't help but feel a deep panic.

Could it be that others didn't shoot at him, but they calculated this accurately, so they dug an invisible trap for him to jump? He is already dizzy now, can he insist on going to the main hall to worship his father, can he be able to accept the courtiers in the East Palace?

Just when the third prince was a little shaky, he suddenly heard a small cough in his ears, and when he looked at it again, he saw Xiao Changjun, the king of Lanling County, standing in front of him at some point. He opened his mouth to ask for help, but he still didn't dare to say anything, and what he saw was a smiling face.

"Today's ceremony is long, the burden is big, the emperor sympathizes with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his hard work all the way before, and was assassinated by the murderer, seriously injured and killed, so he gave a box of ginseng pills, did the third prince forget to take it because he was nervous?"

Yue Xiaosi said as he smiled and took a small box from his arms and handed it over with both hands: "It just so happened that the Twelfth Princess gave me her box to take precautions." The old ginseng is a good thing, although it is not as white as the flesh and bones of the dead and dead, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been seriously injured at one time, and he should still use it to mention the spirit. ”

At this time, the third prince only felt as if it had been a long drought and a rainy day, and hurriedly took it, because he said with a smile: "Thanks to the county king and the twelve sisters for their thoughtfulness." A few days ago, I was torn between life and death, and I ...... Lone really hasn't recovered yet. ”

It is the prerogative of the Son of Heaven and the Prince to be alone, so it is not wrong for the third prince to change his words, but in the eyes of others, when he took the box, quickly opened and twisted a ginseng pill and put it into his mouth, the weakness of the strong support was already revealed.

Whether it is the Emperor of Beiyan on the throne now, or the former crown prince and prince, they are all people with outstanding military strength, so the ceremonial officials who are not optimistic about the three princes are not optimistic about this time, and at this time there is another place to criticize the new prince.

With such a weak body, how can it be in the future to dominate the world?

And after Yue Xiaosi gave out the box of ginseng pills, he returned to his original position. Seeing Zhen Rong glancing at him, he turned back to a reassuring look at the other party, and led the team forward calmly as usual. After all, except for the new crown prince today, he is the greatest.

Compared with the result of the third prince fainting on the way, giving a box of ginseng pills will make people see through the essence of the third prince's lust and guilt, and he feels that this is a trivial matter at all. He didn't expect to really rely on a dragon hero to be powerful, he had enough of this kind of life without his daughter-in-law!

It's not so much that a box of ginseng pills really has such a miraculous effect, but it is better to say that after taking a ginseng pill, the third prince finally has some confidence at this time, and his complexion is also under the dual nourishment of ginseng and spirit, and miraculously reveals a little brilliance that he didn't have before.

At least when he entered the main hall, the courtiers who had been waiting for a long time looked at the new prince who had been born out of nowhere, and found that he was in good spirits, even if he couldn't talk about walking like a dragon, but at least there was a little bit of momentum.

Compared with the down-and-out prince who was sent to envoy to Southern Wu, the current three princes are indeed reborn.

Unlike those courtiers who were eager to make a few small holes in the three princes' bodies, the Northern Yan Emperor on the throne looked a little lazy, and his casual expression did not look like attending the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince. When the third prince bowed down and finished saluting, he didn't wait for the official to say anything according to the procedure, and opened his mouth to himself.

"I abolished a prince before, and now I will return a new prince to you."

This is not like the words of a son of heaven at all, just like the coldest cold wind, which swept through the huge hall in an instant, and I don't know how many officials who were originally in a hot mood were frozen into ice sculptures. Especially the left and right phases, who have always been called the right-hand men of the Northern Yan Emperor, even if they have always been at odds, they can't help but exchange glances with each other at this time, and they are very uneasy.

What exactly does this mean by the Emperor?

is also in a daze, as well as the three princes. He had only finished kneeling three times and bowing nine times at this time, and was waiting for the ceremony to end, his father symbolically admonished a few words, and then went to the East Palace to accept the worship of other brothers and courtiers, but who would have thought that his father suddenly interrupted the procedure that should have been, and then said such a child's play!

Even if he himself was sincerely afraid of the crown prince who fell from the sky, this kind of humiliation of being played like a monkey still made him feel that his heart was clenched together, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him and ask what his always moody father wanted to do. However, he didn't dare after all, and he didn't even dare to move when he was prostrate on the ground.

"I know that many people are dissatisfied with this prince. At this time, outside the main hall, the soldiers who were supposed to be in charge of guarding were also mixed with countless sands, and they waited for the prince to rush forward after going out of here, and chop him into meat sauce with a knife, of course, if by the way, it would be even better if he could kill the bloodthirsty and capricious me together. ”

If it is said that the yin wind just now has turned many ministers into ice sculptures that can't speak, then at this moment, these heart-wrenching words are like ice knives entrained in the wind hitting those ice sculptures, causing those frozen statues to shatter in an instant. It's just a moment, and I don't know how many ministers who originally had a perfect smile or a serious and dignified smile suddenly changed color.

In contrast, the smaller four faces who had been prepared for a long time were just a little surprised. He even had the time to glance at Zhen Rong on the side, and asked softly at this moment when a needle could be clearly heard when it fell to the ground: "What fool would want to kill two birds with one stone at such a time?" ”

Zhen Rong didn't answer Yue Xiaosi's question, which was obviously not asking himself, but instead glanced at the many ministers with an unruly gaze. Seeing that many people unconsciously shifted their gaze under his gaze, and some people glared at him angrily, he sneered and said lightly: "Since the emperor has exposed some people's tricks, then you adults had better touch your heads." ”

No one will misunderstand the murderous intent in these words - this former disciple of the head of Qingcheng, the current King of Jin, and the righteous son of the King of Lanling County, although he was once demoted to a riding slave by the Emperor of Northern Yan, Xiao Changhui, the king of Lanling County, was sent by the emperor to "quell the rebellion", Zhen Rong and the guards who originally belonged to Xiao Jingxian were simply invincible, and the rebels fell like chopping melons and vegetables.

No one knows that the four words unruly and untamed, the former Zhen Rong can't match it at all. He has always been a young master who is in the martial arts but is known as gentle as jade, and now this character has all been honed in Beiyan for nearly a year.

But people at least know that at this moment in this hall, if Zhen Rong and Xiao Changheng make a move, how many people can keep Xiang Shang's head? Not to mention, the emperor on the throne also has a reputation for killing, and he is afraid that a general who has experienced a hundred battles may not be an opponent. And most importantly......

The Son of Heaven is the only one in the hall who can wear a sword, and this is the only rule that Beiyan has not changed since the founding of the country!

Under Zhen Rong's threat, the hall was even more deadly silent. And although the third prince who was kneeling on the ground had some confidence, he still didn't dare to raise his head easily, let alone stand up, just held his breath and waited for his father's answer. However, before the Son of Heaven on the throne could speak, there was a shrill voice that he would never forget.

"My head is on my neck, who would dare to take it?"

The ministers of the palace hurriedly looked at the place where the voice came from, and when they recognized the person, those who were close hurriedly hurled back, and those who were far away couldn't help but whisper. The sound was originally very small, but the hall was full of hundreds of people, and some who didn't see it inevitably had to ask, and in the end the noisy discussion was almost like a vegetable market.

Because it's the eldest princess who came!

Although she was wearing a man's official uniform, she took off her hat at this moment, revealing her full hair, and facing everyone with her true face without powder, so the eldest princess naturally had no intention of hiding her head and showing her tail. She walked to the center of the hall with her head held high, glanced condescendingly at the third prince who had not yet stood up, and sneered contemptuously.

"What is he, and he is worthy of being a prince? In terms of origin, his mother was just a lowly palace maid; In terms of ranking, he is neither a son-in-law nor an eldest son; Even if he put aside all his skills, what other skills did he have except to escape from Nanwu with his tail between his legs and pick up a life from the assassins along the way? It's just a dog that can only kneel on the ground and wag its tail, why did he enter the East Palace? ”

These words speak to the hearts of many ministers. However, at this moment, no one dared to echo it, only countless eyes quietly turned to the emperor, as well as Xiao Changhui, the king of Lanling County, and Xiao Rong, the king of Jin, who served as the canonized deputy envoy today. However, Xiao Changhui and Xiao Rong's father and son were full of indifference on their faces, and the other was cold and frosty, but no one spoke.

And the one who answered the eldest princess's question was none other than the emperor who was sitting like a bell on the throne at this time.

"In terms of origin, I am just born to ordinary palace people. In terms of rankings, I am not a long-term or a long-term long. On Talents...... Hehe, I think at the beginning, who of those brothers of mine was not said by countless ministers who flocked to them to be difficult to find in heaven and on earth? ”

Choked back the words of the eldest princess as it was, and seeing that her face was extremely embarrassed, Emperor Beiyan said lightly: "You look down on his younger brother, I just didn't see it before, I didn't hear it." I believe that people have to struggle out of the sludge by their own strength, and those who don't have that ability deserve it! ”

"Envoy Nanwu, none of your younger brothers are willing, so he is the only one who comes out of the top tank, and even if he is left in Jinling by Lou Yingchang, he still comes back in the end! Maybe he looks like a dog now, but how do you know it's not the wolf waiting to rip your throat open and feed on your flesh! ”

was compared to a vicious wolf, maybe this was scolded and insulted in Southern Wu, but it was a compliment in Northern Yan, but the third prince straightened up unconsciously. Although he still knelt on the ground, he seemed to be injected with a breath of spirit, and he no longer had the hesitation and anger just now. He even tilted his head slightly and glanced at the eldest princess, and for the first time in his life, he regained the courage to fight against the other party.

He is already a prince, why should he be afraid of such a princess who is obviously in trouble?

The eldest princess didn't expect her father to really speak for such a younger brother whom she had never paid attention to, and after the initial stunned and stunned, she found that the eyes of the third prince were a little provocative, and she couldn't help but exclaim angrily: "This is ridiculous! Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, dogs give birth to dogs, how can it be wolves! ”

"Don't forget, his biological mother is certainly not a nobleman, but his father is me!" The emperor finally stood up, he was already a person who knew the destiny of heaven in his early years, but standing at the highest point of the entire hall, the momentum of the abyss and mountains came to his face, so that all the courtiers did not dare to look directly.

"If, as you say, the mother's blood determines everything...... Hehe, you are just born to a humble palace person, she died when she was born, so she was fortunate to be the daughter of your mother, why do you look down on your brother who looks despicable and deceitful? ”
