Chapter 229: Holding the Ceremony
The next day was the day when the little emperor in the palace ascended the throne.
Almost the entire inside and outside of the palace, up to the civil and military officials, down to the people in the city, praise, sighs, and rumors all around it, all boiled into one.
"The first emperor is really a good emperor who is loved by the people, but it's a pity that he ...... at a young age"
"Well, yes. The little prince is six years old, and he is destined to work for the country and the people all his life in the future. It's a pity! ”
“……”
"Your Majesty! Slow down. ”
The six-year-old little prince Ji Zisheng, supported by the Queen Mother, just came out of the dormitory, worshiped heaven and earth and the clan, and was about to go to the main hall of the palace to accept the worship of civil and military officials.
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from outside the door, which almost shocked the entire palace.
Then came the crackling sound of firecrackers.
After the sound of firecrackers, the thirteen princes walked into the palace with knives, and King Pingnan was on a par with him, and no one was convinced by anyone's appearance.
Seeing the thirteenth master rushing open the door with an arrogant face and walking in, the little emperor Ji Zisheng frowned slightly when he saw this.
King Pingnan, who was on the side, arched his hand and said: "Please Your Majesty don't be afraid, these thirteen princes actually dare to bring a knife to meet you, it is clear that you are despising the court." Weichen then arrested him and handed him over to His Majesty's disposal. ”
The little prince was slightly stunned, flashing a pair of innocent eyes, and was about to say something, when the thirteenth master suddenly looked righteous: "King Pingnan, you don't have much blood." In the hands of this king, it is the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor! ”
"Today is the day of His Majesty's accession to the throne, and Shang Fang's sword is here, specially for His Majesty to suppress evil and suppress shock!"
Suddenly, as the Thirteenth Prince spoke, he blocked the upper sword in his hand on the ground, knelt on the ground with his legs, and knocked his head hard.
"Weichen Ji Dye Bing participates in Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live......"
Ji Zisheng was slightly stunned, he had heard his father mention it this season, he was his thirteenth uncle!
It's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes.
Just as he was about to say something, he raised his eyes and saw the Queen Mother on the side with an awe-inspiring expression and frowning.
Ji Zisheng suddenly turned his head and glanced at the man in front of him, and couldn't help but say.
"It turned out that Uncle Thirteen is here, fortunately!"
Ji Ranbing looked stunned and looked up at Ji Zisheng.
It was the first time he had seen this little prince, and he didn't expect that he would recognize himself.
Ji Zisheng nodded: "Thirteenth uncle, I have heard my father mention you ......"
After Ji Ranbing heard this, his face was even more incredible.
At this time, King Pingnan on the side saw that the little prince and the thirteenth prince were actually very close, and immediately bowed up with a face not to be outdone.
"Su Meng, see Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live long live, long live ......"
"Sumon?"
The Queen Mother sat behind Ji Zisheng and frowned suddenly.
Ji Zisheng's eyes widened.
Ji Ranbing was worried that the little prince was young and didn't know the true identity of this Su Meng, so he said on the side: "Su Meng, the king of Pingnan, has a power across the two regions. Originally, it wasn't a big deal. It's just that why did you bring troops today, and return troops to the outskirts of the capital, 100,000 elite soldiers, what does this mean? ”
"Could it be that King Pingnan wants to rebel?" As soon as Ji Ranbing finished speaking, Su Meng was slightly stunned, he was a mercenary of 100,000, and it was good for the soldiers to come outside the city, but this time Ji Ranbing led the troops to surround the three surrounding provinces outside the entire capital.
It's a pity that whether it is themselves or Ji Ranbing, they all know the truth of moving the whole body with one hair.
Even though the forces are threatening enough, no one dares to rashly make impulsive moves.
First, there are nearly half of the old ministers in this court, who are loyal to the former emperor Ji Ranyu and are willing to support the little prince to ascend the throne.
The second is that the name is not right, even if it really takes the life of the little prince, it must be a good reputation.
If it is blindly brute, it will not violate the world, and it will leave an infamy through the ages; The most important thing is that the surrounding Wind Country, Yue Country and Dust Country, have more opportunities to take the opportunity to crusade against Ji Country.
For their already unstable strength, these are tantamount to internal and external troubles, and they will bring about their own destruction......
"Rebellion? The thirteen princes are serious, Su Meng is at most with the thirteen princes, no matter what they are, each other! ”
Su Meng finished speaking with an unconvinced face, and said with his hands clasped in front of his chest.
Seeing that everyone in the court was kneeling in front of him, Ji Zisheng was about to say something, but the Queen Mother nodded first and said, "Since this is the case, everyone should be exempt from courtesy!" ”
"Empress Dowager Xie, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother is a thousand years old, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the ......"
Ji Zisheng pursed the corners of his lips, and was about to say something, when the Queen Mother hooked a trace of arc on her lips with some satisfaction: "You don't have to be polite. ”
"Today is the day when the little prince ascends the throne, and my country has decided to change the era to the first year of Qingchun from today. In addition, several princes, thirteen princes, and king Pingnan, are the regent princes; Crowned the princess Chu Xiaoxiang as the princess of Gulun, and admired this ......"
When the queen mother announced to the world with a kind face and no self-esteem, after she finished speaking, almost the entire court and inside and outside the capital cheered and boiled again.
Chu Xiaoxiang knelt in the palace, her face was stunned, and when she raised her head, she saw Helian Chen looking back at her, blinking her eyes lightly, as if she was saying congratulations.
She looked up again and looked at the Thirteenth Prince and King Pingnan.
Although there are rules in the palace of Ji Kingdom, women are not allowed to participate in politics.
But for the two newly crowned "regent princes" in front of her, she was even more curious.
When Chu Xiaoxiang listened to the eunuchs under the Queen Mother read out a long list of people who had been rewarded in the palace, he did not see Helian Chen being crowned.
After retiring from the court, Chu Xiaoxiang actually had a feeling that he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Princess......" Helian Chen looked worried, followed behind Chu Xiaoxiang, and said breathlessly.
Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly turned around and found that the man behind her still had beads of sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe it for him.
"Are you alright, colt? Is it hot? ”
Chu Xiaoxiang wiped his sweat and said to Helian Chen.
Helian Chen was indifferent and nodded: "Princess, congratulations!" You've been rewarded, Princess Gulun! You are the only one in the entire Ji Kingdom. ”
He was talking, as if he was celebrating this supreme glory for her, but on Chu Xiaoxiang's face, he didn't see any surprise.
"Donkey, but I just heard Li Qing, the eunuch under the Queen Mother, read such a lengthy name, and none of them are yours, she rewarded everyone, but it seems that she forgot you......"
A faint hint of displeasure appeared on Chu Xiaoxiang's lips.
Helian Chen was stunned, smiled slightly, and said to Chu Xiaoxiang who caressed a strand of hair on her forehead: "So what? As long as you can be happy, whether you reward Lian Chen or not, Lian Chen doesn't care. Not to mention ,......"
Chu Xiaoxiang was suddenly puzzled, looking at Helian Chen's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, he couldn't help but ask, "What's more?" ”
"It's nothing," Helian Chen shook his head, "It's just that after today, the imperial court should be able to calm down for the time being, and the Queen Mother has crowned King Pingnan and the Thirteenth Prince as regents, and has already announced it to the world." ”
"No matter how powerful the country is this season, no one can be greater than the strength of the two kings, and it is estimated that the queen mother also deliberately made this move today to let them contain each other."
"Form a symbiotic relationship, so that the imperial court can be quiet for a while......" Helian Chen said, Chu Xiaoxiang's eyes suddenly narrowed.
At this time, although Helian Chen said this, although she seemed a little out of interest, what worried her the most was the little prince - Ji Zisheng.
"However, if the Thirteen Princes, or the King of Pingnan, or the Queen Mother, one of their forces is skewed and wants to use the little emperor as a puppet, then his fate is not very pitiful?"
Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, and suddenly remembered that in the modern era of her previous life, she had heard the story of Kangxi when she was young, eradicating the three feudatories, and worshipping Pingao.
But at that time, Kangxi was already sixteen years old, and the little prince was still so young.
Not to mention whether he can grow up smoothly, if he really becomes a puppet, then what kind of face will she have in the future to face Ji Ranyu calmly under Jiuquan?
"Pathetic?" Helian Chen suddenly pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "No, the little prince still has us." Sometimes, though, I envy him! ”
"I really didn't expect you, you would say envy?"
Chu Xiaoxiang was puzzled, this little emperor whose parents died since he was a child, he should have been out to play with children of the same age at a young age, but he was pushed in a position that should not belong to him.
"Well," Helian Chen suddenly pinched the tip of Chu Xiaoxiang's pretty nose and said to her, "Your Majesty is really enviable that you care about him so much." ”
"Although I have everything, but there is no princess, you, who are so worried about me, alas, ......"
As Helian Chen was talking, he actually sighed lightly, as if he had really been greatly wronged.
"Why did you suddenly talk about this, colt? Are you jealous? But the little prince is the orphan of my imperial brother before his death, and the last mystery of my imperial brother has not been revealed for a long time......"
"That unfinished word, maybe it's my imperial brother, please ask me to take care of the little prince, that's why I ......"
As Chu Xiaoxiang was speaking, his gaze stopped on Helian Chen's embarrassed expression.
"How can there be such a coincidence? What's more, I think your imperial brother should believe that even without his edict, everyone will take care of the little prince! ”
Helian Chen said, staring at Chu Xiaoxiang more deeply.
Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly saw Helian Chen, and with that deep gaze, Teng Ran blushed a little.
"It's as if you know my imperial brother better than me!"
Chu Xiaoxiang was looking at Helianchen with a resentful expression, and at this time, a slight smile appeared on Helianchen's lips: "But not necessarily, princess." ”
"That's pretty much ......"
"No, I mean," Helian Chen shook his head suddenly, and said to Chu Xiaoxiang, "Actually, I don't just know your imperial brother. I know you very well......"
"Ah" Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly blushed a little, although she and Helian Chen didn't know each other for the first day, but they were suddenly told by a person that they understood, which is still a little unaccustomed to her after her past life and this life.
