Chapter 348: Welcome Home

"Son-in-law, see father." Xiao Wangzhi endured the heartbeat of "plopping and plopping", and asked Emperor Yuanjia for peace with several courtesies.

"The emperor, please get up quickly." Emperor Yuan Jia's eyebrows showed a bit of love.

"Thank you, Father." Xiao Wangzhi quietly let out a long breath, got up and stood under Emperor Yuanjia, and tried to make a calm appearance according to what Han Yan had given him before.

Emperor Yuan Jia nodded with great satisfaction, and proudly said aloud to everyone in the audience: "This is my emperor, the son of heaven of the Great Zhou!" ”

"We welcome His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest son!" Everyone in the audience bowed down and shouted in unison, although many people were very surprised and unconvinced by the appearance of Xiao Wangzhi, the eldest son of the emperor.

Xiao Wangzhi took a deep breath, took a step forward, raised his hand and smiled humbly at the crowd under the stage: "Zhuqing, please get up quickly." ”

"Your Highness." Everyone thanked them, got up, and took the opportunity to look at the "eldest son of the emperor" standing on the stage.

Five or six years old, with a white face, with the innocence and vigor of a child of this age, obsidian-like eyes pure and peaceful, and the heavy princely dress on his body, he was a little more calm than children of the same age.

What's more, this kid is really similar to Emperor Yuan Jia between his eyebrows and eyes.

First impression, not bad.

It's just that just like this, a child suddenly appeared, and Emperor Yuanjia wanted them to treat him as the eldest son of the emperor, the heir of the future country, which was obviously not enough.

There is a royal history before the hand, and he asked: "Enlighten the saint, the heaven-given prince protects the Great Zhou, and the ministers are naturally happy." However, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor is the first time to appear in this life, and we have many puzzles, so please ask the Holy God to solve the doubts. ”

Emperor Yuan Jia had expected this, so he turned his head and instructed Han Yan and Xiao An's father-in-law: "Han Qing, Xiao Anzi, you come to answer your questions." ”

Han Yan and Xiao An's father-in-law responded to the order, and went to the front of the stage one after the other, and briefly told everyone about Xiao Wangzhi's identity, of course, under the advice of Emperor Yuan Jia, they had to save Zhao Guifei's persecution and poisoning of Duanfei's mother and son.

"In April of the seventeenth year of Yuanjia, Concubine Duan gave birth to the emperor's eldest son...... In the autumn of the seventeenth year of Yuanjia, Yanjia Hall said that Concubine Duan's mother unfortunately died, and His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor was exiled outside the palace...... Fortunately, God had mercy on me, so I found His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest son, and I happened to meet the Holy Lord who went north to the autumn hunt, so that the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest son recognized each other......" Han Yan said the matter simply.

Xiao An's father-in-law added: "The eldest son of the emperor was frail and sickly due to premature birth, and he was raised in the Ci'an Palace since birth, and was personally cared for by the Queen Mother. In order to avoid collisions, the office has never made any public announcements......"

At first glance it may sound like a problem, but it is not enough to convince the public.

Not to mention anything else, just in all dynasties, I have never heard of an emperor who deliberately concealed the good news because the prince was born prematurely and was sickly, and quietly raised the child in the queen mother's palace.

There is also the matter of Yanjiadian going to the water, who doesn't know that it was provoked because of Zhao Guifei's jealousy?

Although there is Emperor Yuan Jia's deliberate maintenance, those present can mix in the officialdom until now, and can still be ordered to follow the Son of Heaven to the north for autumn hunting, all of them are human spirits, can they not even see through this little thing?

said that the "eldest son of the emperor" was exiled from the palace because of this, who would really believe it?

Emperor Yuan Jia looked at the people below who were talking in a low voice and looked hesitant, and said, "I know that this is not enough to convince everyone. Judge Zhang, you come to explain your doubts to Zhuqing. ”

Zhang Yuan sentenced him to take the stage in response to his fate, and said to the anticipating Zhuqing under the stage: "Weichen once recognized the blood of the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest son, and the two bloods were fused seamlessly. ”

"If you don't believe it, you can ask the Zhang Yuan to re-examine it." Emperor Yuan Jia looked at the people below who were still hesitant and said.

Repeatedly questioning the emperor's rhetoric was not a smart choice, it was because most people chose to remain silent after listening to Emperor Yuanjia's words that did not distinguish between joy and anger.

Only Wang Yushi, who was the first to come forward and question, bowed respectfully when he heard the words: "Then there will be a judgment from the Lao Zhang Yuan." ”

Emperor Yuan Jia was angry with Wang Yushi, but he also knew that these people were so sincere that they could even give up their lives, and they didn't want to be criticized for the truth of their identities after they ascended the throne in the future, causing turmoil in the government and the opposition, so they didn't say much, and directly stretched out their hands and ordered Zhang Yuan to immediately drop blood to recognize their relatives.

Zhao Guifei distressed on the side and told Zhang Yuanju to be careful, don't make the wound bigger, don't squeeze too much blood, for fear of hurting Emperor Yuan Jia's already small vitality.

Han Yan stayed by Xiao Wangzhi's side, silently encouraging him not to be afraid with his eyes.

With a prick of the silver needle and a slight squeeze, two drops of blood dripped into the white jade plate on the table.

The bright red blood slowly smeared, and when the two touched, they quickly dissolved into one.

Zhang Yuanju picked up the white jade plate and sent it to the audience, asking Zhu Qing to check them one by one.

"Heaven bless, we welcome His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest son!" Xie Zhiyi, who had been silent, stepped forward at this time, kneeling down and shouting.

As soon as the call was called, the ministers below instantly fell to the ground and cheered loudly: "We welcome His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor!" ”

The previous sentence was to give Emperor Yuan Jia face, and he had to shout, this sentence was really sincere and joyful.

Who doesn't want the court to be stable and the world to be peaceful, they are not like those who were killed before, they are bent on going sideways, and they want to soar in one day, they only hope that the court and the opposition are peaceful, and they can sit in their current position safely, and then successfully promote one or two levels through hard work.

Of course, as the "leader", Xie Zhiyi asked for more, this time he went to the cabinet, and even the position of the first assistant, otherwise how could he abandon his usual caution and frequent friends with Zhuang Xian and Zhen Guogong and others.

Father-in-law Chen Youliang, two years ago due to illness had to write a letter to resign, and the uncles of the Chen family were all lower than his official position, and they were mediocre, so it would be good if he didn't drag him down in the future, and if he wanted them to help him, it was completely unexpected.

And those relatives and friends of the Chen family, seeing that the Chen family is about to decline, of course, will no longer be as diligent as his father-in-law when he was still in the official position.

In this world, it has always been easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

He was born poor and had nothing to rely on, if he didn't work hard to make a big deal and wanted to rely on the Yue family, then his future official career would be peaceful at most.

The cabinet, and even the position of the first assistant, can only be thought about in a dream.

Emperor Yuanjia doesn't care what the people under him think, as long as he successfully announces Xiao Wangzhi's identity to the world and convinces the public with blood, then he has nothing to worry about.

Under the auspices of the officials of Taichang Temple, the next process went smoothly, and the welcoming ceremony of His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor was successfully concluded.
