596th The New Emperor Ascends the Throne 4th Update
It is undeniable that he is capable, talented, and insightful, but sometimes, he is a stubborn person, and if he disagrees with him, he will often be retaliated against.
Everyone waited for about an hour, and it was almost ten o'clock at noon, and the crown prince Zhao Ban finally did.
Suddenly saw the Meng family in front of him, although Xiao Zhao also knew that this was his mother. However, the person he is most attached to is still the Empress Dowager Zhu.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the companion is hungry!" Xiao Zhao broke free from Meng's embrace and shouted coquettishly.
The people in the Cining Hall had already prepared to eat, and according to Cai Dao's instructions before, they prepared very simple food for Xiao Zhao's companion. Thick and fragrant millet porridge, there are a few lotus seeds with the core and three jujubes with the pit, a small piece of green onion cake sandwiched with fried poached eggs, but the oil is a little too much, and a small plate of fried shrimp and green vegetables tofu.
Xiao Zhao lived with Cai Dao, and also developed a good habit of never being a picky eater, and he ate it in a big gulp.
"Queen Mother, your grandchildren have eaten it, why don't you eat it? And Aunt Ten, little uncle, you all eat! The little guy looked at so many people watching him eat, and he was a little uncomfortable, so he humbly gave in.
When he saw Meng Shi beside him, he whispered again: "And Niang, you can eat too!" As he spoke, he stretched out his arm and handed over the half-bitten bread in his hand.
This is a good opportunity, Zhao Xu's closest relatives have been worried about not being able to eat since last night, and Cai Dao has always been worried that their bodies will not be able to support it, Xiao Zhao said.
Cai Dao immediately ordered: "Eat all, eat all!" Let's go and prepare the same meal for all the adults. ”
The palace maids and eunuchs who served the Queen Mother were all clever people, and when they heard it, they understood Cai Dao's intentions, and hurried to serve meals to everyone.
In order to allow Xiao Zhao Ban to have a hot meal, Empress Dowager Zhu specially allowed Cai Dao to build a small canteen near the Cining Palace, and Zhao Ban's meals were made here. This meal must have been prepared a little more, although it could not feed all the royals and ministers present, but at least it could make everyone have a cushion.
The six prime ministers have never eaten anything good, but they have only heard that the Cai family's food is delicious, and their family actually hired the female students recruited by Cai Dao in Cai's school as cooks, and the cooking is really delicious. But it was the first time that the chef of the Cai family had made the food himself.
After the simple meal, these six prime ministers couldn't help but admire in their hearts.
Only ordinary ingredients can show the true skills of a chef.
These three foods make people feel warm (millet porridge), satisfied (green onion cake with eggs), and sweet and sour (shrimp, green vegetables and tofu).
……
After eating, a palace maid came up to change Xiao Zhao's companion into a clean dragon robe. Of course, this dragon robe was not made a long time ago, but it was made ready. Among the palace maids, there are many masters of female red embroidery.
However, then, there is nothing to do with Cai Dao. He left the palace early, dressed in an official palace and an official hat, and quietly returned to the nursery in a carriage.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, the procedure was quite cumbersome.
The officials in Bianliang City came to the main hall all dressed neatly, looking forward to the first appearance of the new emperor.
For fear of tiring Xiao Zhao's companion, the six prime ministers have racked their brains and reduced this procedure again and again.
However, after a set of processes, not to mention Xiao Zhao's companion, even Empress Dowager Zhu and Meng Shi were also so tired that they were paralyzed on the bed.
The rumors inside and outside the palace have finally subsided, although the palace gate was closed urgently yesterday, and the fire that broke out in the palace early this morning made the whole thing full of mystery.
But the official statement has become a foregone conclusion, the former emperor Zhao Xu was diligent in government affairs, and occasionally felt cold, so he died of a sudden emergency last night.
He ordered his son Zhao to inherit the unification...... Yunyun.
In addition, now that the city can see the soldiers wearing the costumes of the Imperial City Division, no one dares to discuss this matter in public anymore.
By the way, when it comes to the Imperial City Division, I have to mention one person - Liang Shicheng. This guy is also unlucky, he has been in charge of the Imperial City Division for so long, but he has not grown at all.
As soon as the emperor had an accident, Liang Shicheng was actually stupid, and he was at a loss in Ruan Jieyu's bedroom with the two Jieyu.
But Empress Liu, who had been inquiring about the emperor's news, seized the loophole, took the guards who took refuge in her disguised as eunuchs, and raided Ruan Jieyu's bedroom. Because Zhao Xu died on the two of them, when they saw Queen Liu again, the two of them naturally did not dare to resist, nor did they dare to resist.
And Liang Shicheng was also escorted to Kunning Hall in a daze.
By the time he came to his senses, it was too late.
Empress Liu forced him to write a warrant and wanted to mobilize the Imperial City Division, who did not know the truth, to enter the palace.
However, someone informed the general who was guarding the palace gate that the emperor had died and asked him to close the palace gate immediately.
This immediately blocked the possibility of anyone summoning their own forces into the palace.
If you rely on the power in the palace alone, Empress Liu is Wu Zetian's rebirth, and she can't win Cai Dao, who has Empress Dowager Zhu and Crown Prince Zhao by her side.
As for who made the general close the city gate, Cai Dao asked Dean to interrogate the general personally, but he didn't know anything. And the reason why this general trusted the words of the person who came and closed the palace gate.
It's because the person who came was holding Zhao Xu's personal seal. Note that it is a seal, not a jade seal. That Dongdong can only be with Shang Xilang, and no one can take it away except for the emperor.
Who stole the emperor's seal letter has become a mystery in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.
This mystery is that Cai Dao was also kept in the dark.
In fact, this incident was done by the secret agents planted by Cai Lanling and Cai Yinghua.
Zhao Xu is dissatisfied with Cai Dao, it is not a matter of one or two days, it can be said that the world knows it.
However, Cai Dao has always been cautious, and he is a monk, and Zhao Xu has to use Cai Dao's financial management ability in many places, so he has always been quite tolerant of him.
In order to prevent Zhao Xu from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the two of them took advantage of Cai Dao's southern expedition to transport a large number of young women from the Dayue Kingdom into Bianliang City, and planted their manpower in it.
If it weren't for Zhao Xu's greed for beauty, he distributed the beauties of the Dayue Kingdom transported by Cai Dao to the forbidden army in the capital, but he worked with the important ministers to privately divide these beauties. Of course, the two's strategy will not succeed.
They hid it from Cai Dao, just like that, there were several palace maids who were good at light body kung fu, and they privately bought off Li Jieyu and Ruan Jieyu, and successfully installed these palace maids next to An Ren, and they have been spying on Zhao Xu's every move through these two favored concubines. But that's all they do.
