Chapter 117: The New Emperor
All the ministers looked outside in surprise, only to see Xu Yunqing outside the hall escorting a person and walking in.
The person holding the Ming Huang Holy Decree in his hand was none other than the head of the Heavenly Supervisor of the Jingzhong Division-Liu Tianshi.
He walked in respectfully and glanced at the crowd present: "Everyone, take the order." Then the decree was unfolded and the reading began.
All the ministers, including the queen and the four princes, fell to their knees, listening to this man not knowing what to read. When they heard what the holy decree said, they were all astonished.
But it turned out that the emperor knew that his body and bones were not as good as before, so he left such a holy edict in the temple, informing this Liu Tianshi that if he drove to the west one day, he would let Liu Tianshi come to read it.
On this holy decree, it is clearly written that the future emperor is the fourth prince.
As soon as these words came out, Rao is well-informed people couldn't help but be surprised, and even the fourth prince himself was a little more dazed on his face.
The Taiwei was the first to be unconvinced, and got up and asked, "I don't know when Liu Tianshi's holy decree was obtained?" ”
That Liu Tianshi smiled slightly, and replied calmly: "This holy decree was written at the beginning of this year, when the four princes had just returned safely, and the emperor went to the temple to inform the ancestors and ancestors. ”
These words made Taiwei angry in his heart, and secretly scolded: "This old horseman is really a chicken thief." At that time, I already had the intention of letting the four princes succeed to the throne, but I did not leak a drop on my face, but instead made the third prince the crown prince, which made me and others careless. ”
The face of the fourth prince seemed calm, but there were countless waves in his heart. He never thought that he, who had always been neglected by his father, would be recognized by his father as the next heir.
In a blink of an eye, he thought of his father's tears before he died, and at that time, he asked with hatred: "Isn't it, if you want to pass on this throne to the third prince, the gentleman?" ”
But it turned out that he had always misunderstood his father. For a while, the four princes only felt mixed tastes.
The love from his father that he had been demanding for many years finally came true after the emperor's death.
His mouth was full of bitterness. After being angry with his father and saying goodbye to Mian'er, he finally became the emperor of the Great Xiao Kingdom.
Alone, probably like him.
Suddenly, the four princes' eyes were red.
That Liu Tianshi didn't wait for Taiwei to refute, and directly spread out the holy decree and said: "Old Dao knows that you are afraid that you have doubts in your hearts, but this holy decree is indeed written by the emperor, if you don't believe it, you can come forward and observe it carefully." ”
When everyone heard this, they all stepped forward in a hurry, and the holy envoy turned around in the hands of the elders, and everyone looked at the handwriting, the wording, no matter what, it was the emperor's tone.
After all, they have been dealing with the emperor for decades, and they are the most familiar with the emperor's handwriting.
Then Liu Tianshi said with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, I believe that everyone present has no doubts in their hearts. ”
Only then did the prime minister stand up and say: "Since it is the edict of the first emperor, we should obey the order." ”
At that moment, he knelt down and said to the young prince in front of him: "Welcome to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Seeing this, the other ministers knelt down one after another, lest they should be left behind, and for a while, in the Taihe Palace, there were calls one after another.
The fourth prince walked step by step towards the highest dragon chair, for this chair, he paid too much. He only turned a deaf ear to the call of the people's ears.
From then on, he was the new monarch of the Great Xiao Kingdom.
Since the death of the first emperor, it is necessary for the whole country to mourn for three days, and the people and ministers are all obedient.
The new monarch personally kept vigil for three days, and gave the former emperor the nickname "mourning", but this word is much better than the word "yang" that he said in the previous quarrel with the imperial doctor.
He Mian'er is playing with Xiao Er Shuoye at home at the moment, the child is innocent, he doesn't know everything about the outside world, and he is still laughing.
He Mian'er was thinking about where she would move if she left here.
I only heard Mingzhu outside the door come in and say, "Miss, someone has come to the palace, and the master has already gone to receive the order." ”
He Mian'er was startled, looking at the pearl, her face was full of solemnity, and her heart was puzzled, could it be that her father offended the four princes and suffered revenge?
But the four princes are not such people who must repay the baht.
She asked Yingzi to take the child well, and if she was not careful, she would take the child to the general's mansion. but he went into the courtyard.
The person who came was a eunuch in the palace who looked a little raw, wrapped in white clothes outside, but holding a bright holy decree in his hand.
This holy decree was issued by the new emperor, once the son of heaven and a courtier, then He Qirao was angry in his heart, and he had to kneel on the ground.
He Mian'er and Mrs. He also knelt behind. I could only hear the eunuch reading the decree in a thin voice.
Hearing that He Qi was surprised and delighted at the moment, the new emperor not only did not raid his home and remove his official, but took the initiative to admit his mistake in and out of his words, and named the former emperor as mourning, and even reinstated He Qiguan and added a thousand stones.
Since the new emperor is willing to admit his mistake, there is no need for He Qi to hold it, and he immediately accepted the holy decree.
He Mian'er saw the fourth prince ascend the throne and his father reinstated, and he was relieved at the moment.
After staying late at night, Xu Yunqing came again. In his arms, he was carrying a handkerchief, which was slippery to the touch, shining under the lamp.
"When you sleep at night, put it on your eyes." That Xu Yunqing said softly and put it on her eyes. This handkerchief is made of the whale of the East China Sea, and it is the coolest.
He went to ask Doctor Song, and then sent his men to find him.
He Mian'er was puzzled and said, "If that's the case, I should give it to my mother tomorrow and let her put on her eyes." ”
Xu Yunqing was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Since you have this filial piety, I will find another one for you another day." "But there is a little difficulty in my heart, this handkerchief is the most precious, it is quite difficult to find one, and it is even more difficult to find another.
He remained silent and helped her to lie down, watching as the handkerchief covered her mournful eyes, revealing only a small mouth and a straight nose.
He leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
He Mian'er froze for a moment, and when she reached out to push him away, the man had already gotten up.
Pulled the quilt over and covered her, but he also got in and hugged him tightly.
He Mian'er was stunned again, the heat in the man's chest was clearly palpable, she didn't dare to say anything on her face, but she only felt that there was a blockage in her heart, I don't know when such a day will be a head.
The four princes have already become the new emperor, but she and Xu Yunqing don't know where to go.
The future is bleak, she can't see the direction clearly, she can't see the thoughts of the people next to her, and even her own heart is a little incomprehensible.
You can only take one step, and it's one step.
And at this moment, the general's mansion is already in turmoil.
