Chapter 146: The Eighteen-Year-Old Empress Dowager (14)
Qiao Mu saw that the overall situation had been decided, and the original body's wish had basically been completed, so in order not to continue to stay here and listen to them talk about wasting time, she quickly took advantage of the interlude in their quarrel.
casually made an excuse and left the main hall.
I went back to my Ci'an Palace.
As for which prince was elected?
Arbor doesn't need to mind at all.
It doesn't matter who is elected.
Her position is unshakable.
After Qiao Mu left, some of the top nobles in the palace who didn't want to get involved in this matter also began to leave one after another, and their current status could not go further because they supported a certain prince.
So there's no need to take that risk.
Don't look back and support the wrong one.
He was disgusted by the new emperor who was elected again.
Why bother?
With the departure of the top nobles, the remaining royal family members who have no right to speak themselves have begun to leave one after another, and finally only the royal family descendants and the second-grade and above officials in the court and government hall are left, and they are really about the three princes, from their personal conduct to what they have done since their birth, all of them have done a thorough analysis and debate, and the final candidates are determined.
Originally, Prince Ling's advantage was great.
After all, he was a direct participant in the palace change just now, and he could barely be regarded as having some credit.
Zong Zheng's impression of him will definitely be slightly deeper than that of the other two princes, plus he has some soldiers in his hands, so he is slightly better than the other two princes who can almost be regarded as incompetent.
However, the officials had a very bad impression of him.
From the six Shangshu, to the Taiwei in the court, Xiangguo and other ministers, they all had a bad impression of him, and they all felt that his character was flawed, and he must not be allowed to ascend the throne, of course, the more important point may also be because after Prince Ling was expelled from the team to seize the heir, he insulted and even bullied the children of many officials' families and even the officials themselves.
This is the evil result of Prince Ling's broken jar back then, and it really has nothing to do with others.
If he had known that there was a second chance, it is estimated that he would rather go back and strangle his past self.
Originally, at this time, Prince Ling was already a little angry and aggrieved in his heart because of the extreme rejection of the hundred officials, but who knew that Prince Hui was falling into the well on the side again, so the two of them tore up publicly on the spot in the court and political hall.
Expose each other's shortcomings, and they almost didn't fight.
One said that the other party robbed the people's daughter.
One said that the other party liked men.
One said that the other party was extravagant in daily life.
One said that the other party had collected the people's fat and the people's ointment.
In short, they picked up all the unsightly things about each other, and they were clean, and Zong Zhengwei Chunhan on the side of the pickup had a blue face, and the hundred officials who picked it up almost applauded and cheered.
Needless to say, the two of them will definitely have no chance to inherit the position of the new emperor, and the two of them will have no chance, so they will have no choice.
Only the last one remains.
Prince Wen, who just turned 14 this year.
Prince Wen really has no stain, because he just has the name of a prince, and he still lives in the palace, so he didn't have time to go out to build a mansion, plus his mother's status is not very high, and he is afraid of offending people in the palace, so he is cautious everywhere, how can he have the opportunity to do anything bad.
So far.
He hasn't even decided on a marriage yet.
And the reason why he was able to be elected, in addition to the above two princes dog bite dog, he himself fought with the clam and the fisherman profited, the most important point is the support of the hundred officials, the officials are not very fond of the scheming emperor, because the more scheming the emperor, the more unfavorable it is for them to play, the first year old emperor has no hope, the one who has just turned fourteen years old can make do, better than two emperors in their twenties and nearly thirty years old.
With the support of hundreds of officials, coupled with the fact that the other two princes were not righteous and had a loss of virtue, Zong Zhengwei Chunhan could only pinch his nose and admit this matter in the end, and officially determined that Prince Wen would succeed him.
When the news spreads, whether it is Qiao Mu or those nobles who left early.
All of them looked confused.
What are they missing?
I always feel like I'm missing something big.
It was the least chance of it.
Why did he suddenly jump to the top.
However, the matter has already come out, of course, they can't object, they can only let people inquire about the specific situation, and then cry and laugh suddenly.
Who would have thought that in this kind of thing, they could also compete with each other and make a profit, but this is also thanks to the fact that things happened in a hurry, and there was no time for the other two princes to prepare to form a gang with them.
After the emperor settled.
Next is the succession ceremony.
Although it is in the period of national mourning, the new emperor is also very important, even more important than the death of the first emperor, so at the end of the third day of the national funeral, that is, on the fourth day, the enthronement ceremony of Prince Wen Wei Wen was officially held.
Because the time is in a hurry, all kinds of preparations have not had time to prepare, so the enthronement ceremony can only be simplified, but there is no way, who let the first emperor die so suddenly, even the first emperor's own funeral was simplified, and he was buried in the mausoleum of his father Emperor Qionghua, not to mention the new emperor's succession ceremony held in a hurry.
However, even if this succession ceremony is held simply, it is still recognized by the imperial court.
Two hours later, Prince Wen was no longer Prince Wen, but the new Emperor Anping.
The first two emperors were not very peaceful.
In order to make this emperor live longer, the officials specially chose a lot of era names that represent longevity and peace, and finally he chose the word Anping.
After the emperor officially ascended the throne, other affairs naturally had to be carried out according to the rules, such as the continuation of the state funeral, the reconvening of the court's government affairs, and the slight canonization of the harem and the previous dynasty.
However, here comes the difficulty.
Regarding the canonization of Qiao Mu, they have nothing to worry about, after all, the new emperor is the same generation as the first emperor, and he still maintains the original status of the empress dowager, just add more prefixes.
What made the little emperor and all the officials a little embarrassed was the canonization of the concubines of the first emperor and the harem.
Although the number of concubines in the first emperor's harem is not very large, there are sixty or seventy, they are all the same generation as the current emperor, if they are all canonized as concubines, it will be too embarrassing, and if they can be canonized as concubines, then theoretically, the original empress dowager has to be promoted to another level, which is not appropriate.
But if they are not upgraded to concubines, then it will be a little strange for them to stay in the harem, and they can't be allowed to continue to serve as the new emperor's concubines, which is also very inappropriate.
That's where they struggle.
It has been thousands of years since the death of the father and the son, who still remembers what principles were followed when the brother died and the younger brother succeeded, there is no record of etiquette in this regard.
