Chapter 101: The Prince (1st Update)
On the second day, in the early dynasty, Chu Yan asked for an order to let the eldest prince Chu Xian enter the court.
The emperor looked at Chu Yan with a displeased face, "He has just returned to Beijing from the enclosure and is not familiar with court affairs, which position do you think he can handle?" ”
Chu Yan said, "The eldest brother can walk in any of the six departments, and the six departments will all walk in turns, so they will be familiar with it, and it will not be too late to make a decision at that time." ”
The courtiers' eyes widened in unison.
The emperor was also stunned.
The six departments are not much of an official, but it is a very special position, and they are familiar with the six departments, so they go down, who does not deal deeply with the eldest prince in the six departments of the court?
What are you thinking, Your Highness the Seventh? It is really rare for brothers, friends and brothers to be congratulated to this part, so to elevate the eldest prince, if the eldest prince has the heart to seize the throne one day, it is a strong opponent.
The emperor looked at Chu Yan and didn't see anything from Chu Yan's face, and of course, the courtiers didn't see anything.
After a while, the emperor said slowly, "Quasi-play!" ”
After the early court, the courtiers all surrounded Chu Yan, and they were not blatantly tempted, but they would also be tempted in a roundabout and tactful way.
Chu Yan is as dull as ever, and he cherishes words like gold, "The eldest brother has been away from the court bureau for three years, and he is not familiar with today's court affairs, and I hope you will take care of it." ”
"Your Highness the Seventh is at ease."
Everyone, whether sincere or fake, expressed their support.
The next day, Chu Xian went to the early dynasty, and the first thing, the first book, was to ask for Chu Yan to be the prince of the East Palace.
The government and the opposition boiled all at once.
The people who support Chu Yan have been waiting for this day for a long time, and the staff have long been looking for an opportunity for one person in the court to take the lead in asking for the order, and the rest of the people seconded it, but now that Chu Xian has hit this head, it is the best, so the people who support Chu Yan rushed up and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed time to establish a prince, His Royal Highness the Seventh is outstanding in virtue and talent, and he is a well-deserved prince of the East Palace." ”
The emperor looked at Chu Yan, then at Chu Xian, and then at the courtiers, almost all the civil and military officials supported the establishment of the prince. Chu Yan, the prince, gave him the feeling that everyone was looking forward to it.
The emperor is uncomfortable in his heart, what is the prince? It was his heir, it was his successor, it was the one who died and sat in his place. Even if this person was his son, he was just as uncomfortable and didn't want to see the courtiers fall one-sidedly.
However, it is indeed the time to establish the prince, since today has already begun, even if he does not agree today, tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow...... For countless days and nights to come, the courtiers would make a mountain of pleas that filled his southern study.
The emperor suppressed the discomfort in his heart and nodded happily, "Quasi-play!" ”
"Long live Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose! The courtiers knelt on the ground, including Chu Xian, and his voice was the most sincere.
Chu Yan lowered his eyelashes, and was as kind as a stream, "Son-in-law thanks to the emperor." ”
Da Chu has set up a new prince, which seems to have opened a new chapter.
After the early dynasty, the Ministry of Rites, which had been idle for a long time, got busy and began to prepare for the ceremony. Worship the sky, canonize, and sue the temple.
Countless courtiers surrounded Chu Yan and congratulated, more respectful and humble than before. In the hearts of countless people, Chu Yan, the prince, the future emperor, has a solid foundation, and the future position is a nail in the coffin, and it will not change.
No one knew that the day before Chu Yan asked Chu Xian to enter the court, he still said to Chu Chen in the wind and snow that if he asked for kindness to the Qin Palace, there was no need to show loyalty to him, and there was that sentence, the capital was tired of staying, go to Nanyang.
Chu Chen looked at the endless flow of cars and horses in the Seven Princes' Mansion, the pride and smiles on the faces of the staff, the humble and respectful fawning and stammering of the courtiers, and the sincere and happy smile on Chu Xian's face.
He wanted to say loudly to everyone, you are wrong, you have all been deceived by Chu Yan, where does he really want to be the prince and prince? He was just a trap to paralyze and abduct Chu Xian to enter the court, go deep into the court, gradually trap him, and then throw the big position to him.
It's a pity that the courtiers can't see the true face and true heart of Yan clearly, and even Chu Xian was deceived by him.
He, the only sober person, held back his words, and there was no one to say.
The will to canonize the prince of the East Palace spread out of the capital to the following states and counties in the winter of the wind and snow, and three days later, the situation of the flying eagle to spread the book to Nanyang.
The snow in Nanyang this winter is too big, much larger than the capital, and the houses are almost covered by heavy snow, An Huajin deployed and arranged for the soldiers in the city to patrol day and night to guard against Nanliang and Nanqi troops, and on the other hand, he mobilized the young and powerful people in the city to come out to clear the snow, and the Nanyang army was in full swing in the army to train new weapons, and there was no communication between the closed inside and outside, and Shen Yuanzhi was in the army, and he did not return to the army and the Nanyang Palace.
After An Huajin received the flying eagle letter that canonized Chu Yan as the crown prince, he looked at the praise for a while before saying mockingly, "Your Majesty is not afraid to die of vomiting in his heart, but he has to boast about his favorite son." ”
Cui Zhuo smiled lightly, "Now that the eldest prince has entered the court and helped His Royal Highness the Prince, if he is a true brother, it is really a blessing for Da Chu." ”
An Hua Jin is noncommittal.
Cui Zhuo sensitively sensed that An Huajin seemed to have something, and asked her, "Sister An doesn't look very happy?" ”
"Not either." An Huajin shook his head, "I just think that my seventh cousin is afraid that it is ......"
She wanted to say something, but paused, "That's it, don't lie about it, he is now the prince." ”
Cui Zhuo nodded, An Huajin didn't say it, and he naturally wouldn't force her to say it.
After another three days, Chu Yan's reply came to Nanyang.
Chu Yan's reply letter was personally sent by Nanyang by his close secret guards and people riding fast horses day and night in the wind and snow, a thin letter, but it wrote very important content.
wrote that he was tired of the capital, wrote that he didn't want a big position, and wrote that he deceived Chu Xian. The words fall through the back of the paper, which shows the strength of determination.
An Huajin looked at the letter, revealing a look that was as expected.
She felt that since Chu Yan had long had the idea of abandoning the throne, it was not surprising that he had this determination now.
Probably, she was the first to know that he had this idea.
Aside from Chu Xiyun, even Chu Yan has to come to Nanyang, and she seems to have no reason to marry in the capital.
She pondered and replied, "Seventh cousin, you and your cousin, why don't you tell your aunt what you think?" Auntie's person, she doesn't value the high position of power, I'm afraid I'm even more tired of the capital, if my aunt knows what you think, maybe it will be smoother with her help. ”
She added, "The man is worthy of the sky, and he is worthy of the ground." Why not? ”
She finally put pen to paper, "Since the seventh cousin doesn't want to be trapped in the capital and wants to come to Nanyang, then come!" ”
An Huajin wrote the letter, handed the letter to the secret guard, left the dark guard for a day, and then left Nanyang with the letter.
After the secret guard left, An Huajin stood on the city wall, the sky was covered with snow, large snowflakes, she looked at the direction of the capital, white and boundless, just like the road she led to the capital, she couldn't see it clearly, and she couldn't see the end at a glance, just like the road between her and Gu Qingyan, there were thousands of barren mountains and snow, and there were thousands of thorns, and there was no way out.
Smokyflame held an umbrella for Anhua Jin, standing quietly beside her, like an immobile statue.
An Huajin stood for a long time, and looked at it for a long time, until the wind and snow leveled the horseshoe prints, she retracted her gaze, lowered her head, and whispered softly, "There is another reason missing." ”
The reason for marrying in the capital, and the reason for conforming to Gu Qingyan and joining the Gu family.
Smoky Flame pursed the corners of his mouth, and suddenly muttered, "Young Master Cui is very good, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also very good, even if it is General Shen Xiao, it is fine." ”
An Huajin: "......"
She turned around, looked at Smitter, and raised her eyebrows amusedly, "Smyo, why aren't you your daughter?" If you are a daughter, I will marry you off. ”
Smolder: "......"
When you chose the secret guard, you didn't choose your daughter's house!
An Huajin raised his foot and kicked him, "Let's go!" I've froze to death, and you didn't know how long it was time to remind me to go home. When I go home, I will punish you for making tea for me, and I will punish you for making tea that produces a flower, and if you don't succeed, you will be punished for making it all the time. ”
Smolder: "......"
How many secret guards are there in the world? The secret guard of the small county lord is difficult to do.
Six days later, Chu Yan received a reply from An Huajin, who was brought back to the capital by the secret guard, and after he took the letter, he read it twice, three times, and finally smiled.
He clutched the letterhead and slowly threw it into the censer.
She said, "A man is worthy of the sky and the earth." Why not? ”
She also said, "Since the seventh cousin doesn't want to be trapped in the capital and wants to come to Nanyang, then come on!" ”
He seemed to see the road ahead at once, and about him, it was not the invisible life of slowly endless desolation, darkness, calculation, and the lonely and widowed imperial road, but the open and bright Nanyang road full of warmth. The return of the half of the blood that flowed through his body.
