Chapter 143: Heavenly Grace

By chance, he caught up with the royal family and covered up the shocking scandal for the royal family, which earned him his current status and the trust of Emperor Jin An.

It can be said that he is the biggest beneficiary of the fall of the Jun family.

Jiang Bowen knew in his heart that once the truth was revealed to the world ten years ago, then his unique position in the heart of Emperor Jin An would no longer exist, and he might even lose the trust he had carefully earned in the past ten years.

That's when he struggles.

Before it happens, he wants to strangle all the restless factors in the cradle.

Even if it is a wrongful killing, he will not let go, and no one will try to stand in his way.

Bato looked stunned, realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly responded.

In August, Shangjing is full of flowers, and the corners of the streets and alleys are full of pale yellow osmanthus flowers.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the wide bluestone road is crowded with pedestrians, especially in front of the melon and fruit dim sum shop, which has been densely surrounded by airtight wind.

The palace suddenly became lively, and the share of each palace rose by one percent, and the mountains of ledgers made Concubine Qin very busy.

The festival came as scheduled, the three palace gates were opened, and the commander of the forbidden army led the troops to defend the imperial city and the surrounding security.

The carriages drove into the first palace gate one by one, and in front of the second palace gate, the officials stepped out of the carriage one after another and stepped over on foot.

The palace is full of lanterns, and the marble palace road leading to the hall is lined with strange flowers and plants, and when you smell it, the air is mixed with a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Before the auspicious time of the banquet arrived, the officials had already filled the hall.

The three of them exchanged ears with joyful smiles on their faces.

Only one person was restless, and his face was full of gloom.

This person is the Hubu Shangshu Puting who has been unlucky in recent days, he looks up and around from time to time, his eyes flickering, and the muscles in his body are tense.

Even if he was at the palace banquet and was guarded by Ouchi masters, he still felt that it was not safe here, and the shadow left by those people was getting deeper and deeper, so that he didn't dare to go out at will on weekdays, for fear of accidentally losing his life.

Pu Ting was anxious, and subconsciously looked to the right front, Jiang Bowen was talking and laughing with the officials beside him seriously, and did not notice his gaze.

Seeing this, Pu Ting's heart became even more irritable, a nameless fire came out of his heart, he picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a stomach of cold water.

Jiang Bowen said that he would secretly help him find out the matter, but until now, he has not seen the results of helping, but the methods used by people in secret to threaten and intimidate him have become more and more varied.

often keeps him awake at night, even if he hires a special martial artist to guard the bedroom door, he can't easily fall asleep.

Pu Ting was very skeptical, could Jiang Bowen just talk about it, but actually did nothing?

In a fit of rage, he swept his long sleeves past the table.

There was a 'clang', and the teapot rolled to the ground.

The crisp sound attracted the attention of the people around it.

"Pu Shangshu, what's wrong?"

The anger on Pu Ting's face suddenly disappeared, and he smiled as if embarrassed: "It's okay, it's just a matter of accidentally touching it." ”

Hearing this, the man didn't doubt it at all, and reminded him with a light smile, telling him to be more careful, and then turned his head to talk to the person next to him.

Pu Ting breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore.

Soon, the palace maid stepped forward to clean up the mess, and then served a new pot of tea by the way, and no one noticed the churning emotions in Pu Ting's heart.

As soon as the episode passed, the prince of the East Palace belatedly under the gaze of everyone, because she was not married and occupied a table alone.

Compared to the bustle of the rest of the low tables, she seemed extremely lonely.

Junchen sat at a table behind her, because he didn't like to socialize, and he had never been married, so he was also at his own table.

Looking at it this way, there is a sense of loneliness that is the same as that of the East Palace.

After a while, the curtain next to the dragon chair was lifted, and the little eunuch respectfully moved a step to the side, raised his head and screamed: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The eunuch's voice was already feminine, with an indescribable feeling, which only made people feel harsh and abnormal for a while, and even had the urge to cover their ears.

However, in front of the public, no one dared to show the slightest disgust.

As soon as the eunuch's voice fell, there were already kneeling people in the main hall.

The civil and military officials and their wives and relatives put their hands on the ground steadily, and their foreheads gently touched the back of their hands.

"Your Majesty."

"The courtiers knock to your majesty."

The sound of the collision of bead curtains resounded in the hall, and then there was a hearty laugh from Emperor Jin An: "Everyone, Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, take a seat." ”

Baiguan rose with the voice, and did not forget to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Jin An held the wine glass in his hand, lifted it into the air emptily, and said to everyone: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we should be happy with the people. ”

Concubine Qin sat under Emperor Jin An with a soft smile on her face.

She didn't say much, and she didn't say anything rude.

Emperor Jin Anhuang smiled, his deep voice shook out of his chest, and his eagle-like eyes were sharp, no longer with a cold air.

As soon as the words fell, the officials naturally wanted to thank them again.

Qi Changrong poured the first glass of wine, got up and looked at Emperor Jin An from afar: "Father, the first glass of wine today, my son respects you." ”

Emperor Jin An responded with a smile: "The prince is very heartfelt. ”

After drinking, Emperor Jin An said again: "Although I don't talk about state affairs, I have something to announce today." ”

"Prince Changrong has made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos and disaster relief, and has lived up to the expectations of me and all of you, so he should be rewarded." Speaking of this, Emperor Jin An paused slightly, as if he was a little distressed about what to reward.

After all, the crown prince is the future lord of the Jin Kingdom, and everything in the Jin Kingdom is hers.

The civil and military officials held their breath and stared, and they were also very curious about what the emperor would reward the prince.

I don't know if Emperor Jin Anhuang deliberately hung people's appetites, and he groaned for a while before raising his hand and ordering someone to serve the tray that had been prepared.

The tray was obscured by a bright yellow cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

"The prince is virtuous, brave and resourceful for the benefit of the people, I will give a blank holy decree, stamped with the emperor's jade seal, and whatever the prince wants in the future, just fill it in by himself, and I will unconditionally agree."

As soon as this remark came out, it can be said that it caused an uproar.

Concubine Qin subconsciously straightened her back, her eyes were horrified, and her nervous palms were sweaty.

There were gasps all over the hall, and everyone was caught off guard and couldn't react for a while.

They had long known that the prince's reward would not be simple this time, but even if they wanted to break their heads, they didn't expect it to be such an uneasy method!

What does a blank decree mean?

It means that the world is great, and Prince Changrong is at his fingertips at any time!

When she doesn't want to be the crown prince one day, and wants to further become the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, she only needs to take out this holy decree, and she can ascend the throne immediately.

Some people may think that if Emperor Jin An at that time was unwilling to take the throne, it would make this holy decree a joke.

But that's impossible, Jin An Huang Chrysostom Yuyan, the historian will be recorded in the book, if you regret it, the entire Great Jin Dynasty will become a joke.

Yes, Your Majesty is really determined to pass on the throne to the crown prince!

The ministers could not tell what they were feeling in their hearts, and they were naturally full of joy when they saw it, but as for those who had different intentions, their feelings were complicated and indescribable.

Jiang Bowen clenched his palms tightly, his nails sank into the flesh without feeling pain, and his eyes stared at the tray in the hand of the waiter without blinking.

He was shocked as much as anyone else, and he guessed that this reward would be very valuable, but the boldness and desperateness of Emperor Jin An was something he did not expect.

On the other side, the blood on Yang Yishu's face faded in an instant, his eyes were full of despair, thinking of the previous experience of offending the prince, he really wanted to roll his eyes directly, and completely fainted.

It's one thing to know that the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and it's another thing to actually succeed to the throne......

The ministers were shocked, but the prince was not shocked.

Receiving such a great earth-shattering grace unprepared, her eyes flashed not with ecstasy, but with a faint blank doubt.

Apparently this scene never crossed her mind.

Yuan Yi bowed in front of Qi Changrong with a smile and reminded: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty's grace has been given, and you are not grateful?" ”

Hearing Yuan Yi's voice, Qi Changrong looked up in a daze, but fortunately, she reacted very quickly, immediately opened her robe with one hand, and knelt on the ground respectfully, "Son, thank you for your father's reward!" ”

Emperor Jin An nodded with satisfaction: "Prince, please get up, you must act in the future to put the people first, don't let me down." ”

"Sons remember the teachings of their father."

The tray was firmly handed over to Qi Changrong's hand.

Until he returned to his seat with the blank holy decree in his hand, Qi Changrong still had a sense of dreaming in a trance.

But the weight on her hand is real, obviously light and fluttering, but she has to use all her strength to hold it steady.

At this moment, her surprise was real, and her confusion was also real.

It wasn't until a sip of cold wine that she slowly regained her composure, because she was too calm, even if she was in turmoil, she couldn't see anything on her face.

Yes, only she knows about the previous gaffes.

The banquet continued, but the officials had different thoughts.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the staggered planning, the intentional flattery and passive bearing have changed the taste.

The atmosphere in Xu is hall was too dull, Yang Yishu drank a lot of wine because of his dull mood, felt slightly unwell for a while, and went out of the hall to breathe.

After a while, Mrs. Yang, who was described as Shuli, also left.

Qi Changrong raised his head calmly, and Concubine Qin, who was sitting on it, nodded to her invisibly.

She withdrew her gaze, a smile tugging at her lips.

The set has been laid, it depends on whether Yang Yishu can ...... It's off the beauty.

The hall is still lively.

As today's winner, Qi Changrong was poured glass after glass of wine.

Fortunately, her status is extremely high, and there are not many ministers who have the courage to pour wine, and after a few rounds, she finally has a quiet time.

Among the people present, only Emperor Jin An was not affected by the outside world, and after eating and drinking, he listened to a few songs and watched a few dances, and then he excused himself for lack and left.

No, there is another person who is more calm than Emperor Jin An.

That person was Junchen.

When others congratulated, he was drinking stuffy, and when others toasted, he was still drinking stuffy, and even when the banquet was over, he poured himself another glass.
