The princess was willing to let go of the grievances and grievances with Xiao Yuan, and accepted Fang He with the general situation in mind, which made Fang Yuan quite gratified. Although Xiao Yuan was a little reluctant, since she didn't openly object, Fang Yuan turned a blind eye and said yes.

Fang He's succession ceremony was scheduled to be held half a month later, and the succession ceremony was prepared at the same time as the celebration banquet for the whole army to go to Jianghuai, defeat Sun Chuanting, and capture Fengyang.

This celebration banquet, Fang originally planned to hold a large-scale military parade, the estimated cost is 500,000 taels of silver, the venue is in Fengyang Mansion, the scale is 100,000 Xuanjia Army. All the high-level generals of the Xuanjia Army, including Ma Lin, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, Feng Ting, the general soldier of Fujian, and the new Guangdong general Naji also attended the meeting.

This military parade was not held in Jiangnan, but in Fengyang Mansion, one is to show the power of the army to the world, and the other is to express the determination to resolutely go on the Northern Expedition and dominate the world.

As for the investigation into the incident of the contamination of the emergency reserve grain with sand, Fang Yuan decided to wait for Ma Lin, the general soldier of Zhejiang, who was in charge of the Zhejiang military field, to arrive in Fengyang before asking him to confront Gan Hui face to face.

The succession ceremony is the most important event in the Regent's Palace, and these days, the male servants and maidservants of the Regent's Palace, and even the brocade guards of the guards are all involved in the intense and orderly preparations.

Fang Yuan, as well as the guard work of the entire regent palace, Fang Yuan ordered Hu Qi to gradually transfer it to Ma Yishan, so that he could familiarize himself with it first, and then transfer the work.

For Hu Qi, Fang Yuan had a more important arrangement, that is, the long-vacant position of judicial governor. Hu Qi's loyalty is undoubted, and his practical ability has also been honed in the years since he was the commander of Jinyi Wei and took over the petition mailbox. Although Hu Qi is a little slippery, upright and a little lacking, he may not be too familiar with Minglu. However, in troubled times, the operation of the judicial system in peacetime is not feasible, and ghosts, snakes, and gods rise one after another, and conspiracies abound.

For big and important cases like Qian Qianyi and Hou Fangyu, it is necessary to solve the mess quickly. Instead of learning from peacetime, the government yamen must report to the criminal department, and then the three divisions will be tried, and as soon as the judicial process is completed, it is estimated that the same party will have fled without a trace. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a political system of spies with Jinyi Wei and petition mailboxes as the mainstay, supplemented by the judicial system of the criminal department.

Originally, the position of Judicial Governor was originally intended to be reserved for Qin Zhan. But Qin Zhan is not angry, if he wants to do it or not, he has to get involved in the battle in his backyard, so he can only make Qin Zhan calm and calm in Minguang.

Hu Qi is Fang Yuan's most recognized candidate for judicial governor.

Whether it is Hu Qi or Ma Yishan, Fang Yuan's transfer of work arrangements is overjoyed. Hu Qi was only in charge of the work of Jinyi Guard, that is, the treatment of the general soldier, but now he has been promoted to the governor of justice without exception, which can be said to be several levels in a row.

As for Ma Yishan, he was originally a general of Fengyang, but he never thought that he would be entrusted with the important task of guarding the palace as soon as he took refuge in Fang Yuan, and he was included in the ranks of Fang Yuan's cronies and confidants. He is like a horse who is not a thousand miles of horses meets the discerning Bole, and his life suddenly takes a dramatic turn, and the other party is grateful and swears allegiance.

Back then, Fang Yuan did not trust Ma Yishan unconditionally, at least the Jinyi Wei Qianhu who served as the palace guard, Zhao Ting, was Hu Qi's cousin, not Ma Yishan's person. The daily guard work, of course, is Ma Yishan's final say. But in the event of a sudden change such as the rebellion against Fang Yuan, Ma Yishan will definitely not be able to command Zhao Ting, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei.

Half a month later, the succession ceremony was held at the Regent's Palace as scheduled. Because this succession ceremony was an internal affair of the Regent's Palace, and had nothing to do with the cabinet or the military, Fang Yuan didn't want to make a fuss to passers-by, so he didn't even invite guests or publicize it to the outside world. just invited Zhu Cihuan, the prince of the prison country, and Jing Jie and his wife, who were close to him, to watch the ceremony, and the rest were all the palace's own people.

The adoptive procedure is quite cumbersome, but Xiaoyuan, who is the biological mother, cannot participate, so she can only choose to avoid it. The palace is noisy and lively.

The main procedure in the ceremony is that Fang He kneels down to his future mother, Princess Kunxing, and serves a cup of filial piety tea, and then the princess personally puts on the child-mother knot for Fang He.

During the entire succession ceremony, Fang He was looking around looking for his biological mother Xiaoyuan, and when he couldn't see his mother, he began to cry. A group of palace maids were so busy that they could only take candy, take small toys and coax them, so Fang He could be regarded as stopping.

Wang Chengen, who presided over the ceremony, poured Fang He full of filial piety tea with his own hands, and asked him to carry the tea and go to the future biological mother and princess.

Fang He held the teacup and walked slowly to the princess, but instead of kneeling down to serve tea, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, Mama Liang hurriedly urged him to serve tea quickly.

Fang He suddenly raised his head, raised the teacup and splashed it on the princess's face, then threw the teacup, pointed to the princess's door and said, "You are not my mother, I don't want you to be my mother." ”

His sudden move, everyone was stunned on the spot, even the suona and trumpet all stopped, the scene was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Fortunately, the tea was not hot, but the tea juice on the princess's face was drizzled, and Mama Liang hurriedly handed over a white cloth to wipe the tea on the princess's face and brocade clothes.

After the princess wiped it, everyone was still silent, not knowing how to end. Wang Chengen, who presided over the ceremony, asked with an embarrassed smile, "Regent, princess, do you want another drink?!" ”

Princess Yurong looked at Fang He with a frosty face, and said coldly at Wang Chengen, "Princess, have you forgotten the allusion to the wolf in the mountains?!" Let's stop here! ”

The princess got up angrily and turned back to the back hall.

The lively succession ceremony ended so hastily, and everyone watching the ceremony looked at each other, neither to leave nor to stay, all waiting for Fang Yuan's instructions.

Fang Yuan sat there with a pale face, his eyes slightly closed, and he was already really angry. Fang He made such a fuss, so that everything he had done before and the efforts of the mud were in vain. In front of everyone's eyes, he can't get off the stage again.

Xiao Yuan rushed in from behind the crowd, and as soon as Fang He saw her, he got into her arms and cried incessantly.

Xiao Yuan held him in his arms, looked at Fang Yuan again and said, "Childe, what's wrong?!" ”

Fang Yuan stared straight at Fang He, the bear child, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yuan's body again, and it was difficult to judge for a while whether Fang He poured tea on the princess today, whether it was Fang He's own behavior or Xiao Yuan's instigation behind his back. But at this moment, it is useless to investigate the reason, so he can only say hatefully, "Mrs. Yuan, the good son you taught was rude to the princess in public, good, very good!" ”

Xiao Yuan argued in public and said, "He is still a child, and he has no taboo words, so if the son wants to forcibly make him go against human ethics and recognize others as his mother, how can he just blame him?!" ”

"Bang!"

Fang Yuan was furious, and swept all the teapots and teacups on the table to the ground, and the fragments also hit Xiao Yuan, Fang He and the two, "Dare to quibble!" From today onwards, Fang He will think about it behind closed doors for a month, and he is not allowed to go out of the room for half a step, let alone anyone enter! ”

Fang He was so frightened that he cried, Xiao Yuan thought that Fang He was only five years old, and he was going to think about it behind closed doors for a month, how could the child stand it? just hugged Fang He and cried.

The scene was a mess, but Su Hongyu stepped forward to play a round for the two sides, "Boss, my nephew is so young, it's understandable that he is negligent in etiquette!" A month is too long, who are we Jing Ling looking for to play?! ”

She glanced at Jing Ling and whispered, "Come out and plead for Fang and his younger brother." ”

Jing Ling is also six or seven years old this year, and she immediately understood her mother's words, and hurriedly came out to kneel down and salute Fang Yuan, "Uncle Fang, please forgive Fang He!" You lock up Fang He, who will accompany me to read and play?! ”

She brought another cup of tea and handed it to Fang Yuan, "Uncle Fang, Fang and him don't respect tea, I'll serve tea for him!" ”

Fang Yuan looked at the tea handed over by Jing Ling, as well as her immature and delicate face, and his anger subsided a little.

He can't really punish Fang and think about it behind closed doors for a month, then it's not a thought, eighty percent will think of a mental illness, fortunately, Su Hongyu and Jing Ling sent him a step, and he was happy to go down the steps, took the teacup, took a sip, and put the teacup heavily on the table, "Okay, since Hongyu and Ling'er help this unfilial son intercede, then let him think about it behind closed doors for ten days." Also, Mrs. Yuan, you and Fang He have also thought about it behind closed doors, and reflect on it! ”

Although he asked Xiao Yuan and Fang He to think about it behind closed doors, he actually asked Xiao Yuan to take care of Fang He. This turmoil was finally revealed in this way, Xiao Yuan hurriedly knelt down and thanked Fang Yuan for his lenient treatment.
