Chapter 21: The eldest princess of martial arts
For Cheng Xiuyi's return, many people's feelings are very complicated, in the history of the Xia Yuan Empire, the princess is a special identity, they have no right to inherit the throne, so the relationship with their parents is closer, but the adult princess has the right to supervise the country under special circumstances, and has a certain opportunity to participate in politics, especially this princess is still a half-elf with strong strength, and this princess has a strong backstage, her mother is now the empress of the elf empire, and behind her stands the entire elf empire, plus the empress and His Majesty the emperor still have a relationship that is constantly untidy and chaoticIt is said that the reason why this empress was elected as the empress of the Elven Empire is because of the opinion of His Majesty the Emperor, and in turn, the Elven Empire, as a traditional ally of the empire, the opinion of their empress is the same as that of the empire, and then there is the support of two major religions behind this princess, you must know that these two major religions have a large number of believers in the world, and the believers of the Immeasurable Sect alone account for more than 50% of the entire empire's people, and Zen Buddhism also has 30 percent, and many officials and family members in the empire are also believers in these two major religions, so it is impossible to estimate what kind of impact the eldest princess's return will have on the political structure of the imperial court.
At this time, the queen took the crown prince's hand and walked over from behind, this queen is already the third queen of Cheng Mingci, because the first two queens and the crown prince were deposed for various reasons, and now one is locked up in the cold palace, and the other has been given a three-foot white silk hanged himself, and the two princes have also been assigned to the frontier and removed from the royal family tree, these are all because Cheng Mingci is a benevolent person, if it were another emperor, it is estimated that they would have been given to death a long time ago.
When the queen and the crown prince came to Cheng Xiuyi, the crown prince bowed and said: The royal brother has seen the eldest sister of the emperor.
Cheng Xiuyi looked at the twenty-year-old royal brother with a very complicated mood, and the crown prince looked at the imperial sister who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old in front of him, and he also had all kinds of feelings in his heart, because this imperial sister was simply too young compared to herself, she became the prince at the age of fifteen, and now she is in her twenties and even has children, but he knows that if nothing else, he may die as a prince, and the reason why his first two members rebelled was because he didn't want to be a prince for the rest of his life so he plotted to rebel, but he didn't have the guts, because he knew that although his father was not an expert in governing the country, he had a large number of mysterious masters around him, He relied on these mysterious masters to resolve the rebellion of the first two princes, and now that the strength of the imperial sister is not to be underestimated, he has no hope when he returns again.
At this time, the queen on the side walked up, the queen is very beautiful, especially the kind of graceful and luxurious bearing can indeed be called the mother of the world, a gorgeous dress is even more beautiful and incomprehensible, Cheng Xiuyi has seen this queen, at that time she has not left the palace, and the queen in front of her is just an ordinary Mrs. Li Guo, but now she is the queen of Xia Yuan, but the two did not have any contact at the beginning, I saw the queen take Cheng Xiuyi's hand and say: Emperor, you are finally back, I didn't expect our parting to be more than 20 years, and your father and I have not missed you for a moment in the past 20 yearsIt's great that you're back now, and you can help your father to govern this great country.
After hearing this, Cheng Xiuyi shook her head and said: I just want to talk to my father about something when I come back this time, and after telling my father what I want in my heart, I will go south to the Elven Empire to see my mother.
The reason why Cheng Xiuyi said this was because she knew that her return this time would have a huge impact on the entire Xia Yuan's court and harem, and if she didn't make her position clear in advance, it would bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to herself and her father.
At this time, Cheng Mingci, who was standing on the side, heard that his daughter was still leaving, so he hurriedly said: Child, don't leave again when you come back this time, I know that you haven't forgiven me yet, but it doesn't matter, I will compensate you, and then quickly ordered someone to bring out a set of etiquette for the princess and ordered someone to clean up the palace where Cheng Xiuyi lived in the palace, in fact, it doesn't need to be cleaned up much, because Cheng Mingci instructed her to clean the Yuxiu Palace where she used to live must be cleaned every day, and every once in a while he has to check it himself, and stay there for several hours to relieve his thoughts about his daughter。
Then it turned out that Yuxiu Palace was still the place where the elf empress lived, at this time Cheng Mingci ordered to return to the palace, and let Cheng Xiuyi take his royal return to the palace with him, which shows the emperor's favor for the princess, along the way Cheng Mingci took his daughter's hand and kept asking how she lived in the past 20 years, what skills she had learned, and the concubines, princes, and civil and military officials who followed them in the chariots saw in their eyes and remembered in their hearts, they saw the influence of the eldest princess on His Majesty the Emperor, and also saw His Majesty's favor for this daughter who had been absent for more than 20 years。
When everyone returned to the palace, Cheng Mingci instructed the chamberlain to ring the sun and moon drum set up next to the Emperor Heng Palace, the early totem worship of the Xia Yuan Empire was the sun and the moon, although the primitive religion has completely declined, but the sun and the moon are still full of worship for this thing that can bring light to all living beings in the world.
And the royal family is the supreme existence of this country, so the royal family uses a lot of patterns of the sun and the moon, including the patterns of the sun and the moon on the emperor's robe and crown.
When the bell and moon drum sounded, all the ministers hurriedly dressed up and dared to go to the palace, and the Imperial City Internal Security Division, who was responsible for the traffic security of the imperial city, also hurriedly sent all the forces in his hands to maintain the traffic between the inner and outer cities of the imperial city, you must know that only when the big celebration and the country was invaded by the enemy will the sun bell and moon drum be sounded at the same time, and now is not a large-scale celebration day, and I have not heard of any news of the invasion of the enemy country at the border pass, these ministers felt inexplicable, so all the officials of the five products in Beijing hurriedly instructed their families to prepare a car for themselves to rush to the imperial palace of the imperial palace。
At this time, Emperor Cheng Mingci and led all the members of the royal family plus some ministers to the Emperor Heng Palace, after entering the Emperor Heng Palace, the emperor found the royal family responsible for the royal canonization of the royal family members and then whispered a few words to him, the emperor is a hundred years old, this age is considered a high life among human beings, but because this royal family is a good swordsman, such strength can also be ranked in the top ten in the entire royal family, because the body is constantly tempered by various natural elements, so although it is a hundred years old, but it looks like it is more than sixty years old。
When the imperial minister shook his head and nodded after listening, and finally went down helplessly, Cheng Mingci looked at the imperial minister and nodded with a smile, at this time all the ministers had come to the main hall, the ministers were divided into the right and left, and Dazai stood in front of Wen Zaizhi and ranked first among the hundred officials, which can also be seen that the status of the generals of the Xia Yuan Empire was lower than that of the civil officials, because in the culture of Xia Yuan, the right is the top and the left is the bottom.
As the head of the hundred officials, Dazai Zhi stands in the first place of civil officials and can see the status of military generals in the imperial court, but there is no way, because the Xia Yuan Empire is the most stable dynasty in history, before it, the entire Zhongzhou mainland princes were divided, and the reason why the political situation in these countries is unstable is that the military generals are involved in a large number of political activities, either today's general coup d'état, or tomorrow's Du Wei rebellion, and the Xia Yuan Empire began to restrict military generals from participating in politics at the beginning of the country, but this also caused the original martial arts of the entire Xia Yuan Empire to fade day by day, and even the military generals did not read the military books and wrote poems and lyrics。
When the civil and military officials arrived, Cheng Mingci stood on the imperial steps with a red face, and the emperor sat in front of him, and the ministers looked at the radiant emperor, and the ministers who greeted Cheng Xiuyi with the emperor knew that the reason why the emperor was so complete was because the eldest princess returned to the dynasty today, which showed how much the emperor loved this eldest daughter, and the queen standing beside him was full of jealousy, although her face was full of smiles, because she knew that the reason why the emperor loved her so much was completely his ex-wife who looked like a fairy but was lost and lost, and the appearance of this eldest princess was seven points similar to her mother。
The emperor looked at the civil and military officials under the emperor's rank and said excitedly to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned everyone here today to have something I think is very important to tell you, that is, your eldest princess has returned, she has been away from my side for more than 20 or nearly 30 years, and now she is finally back, I want to canonize her as the eldest princess of martial arts and martial arts today, and supervise state affairs.
In the Xia Yuan Empire, only the daughter born to the queen and must be the longest among the children to be eligible to be canonized as the eldest princess, not the queen can only be a princess, is born to the queen but not the longest among the children can only be canonized as the eldest princess, and only the queen born and the longest among the children can be canonized as the eldest princess, everyone should not underestimate the title of such an eldest princess, the eldest princess except that there is no emperor inheritance rights, the rest of the treatment and rights are the same as the prince, and as the emperor, the prince is not only the son but also his successor, and his competitor, because once the emperor has something to do not do well, and the prince has some good names, then in the minds of the ministers, they will definitely hope that the old emperor will abdicate or die and hand over the country to the prince, so the emperor's feelings for the prince are very complicated, and the princess has no inheritance, so the princess can get the trust and love of her father, and in the history of the Xia Yuan Empire, there have been several eldest princesses who have left and right the court, and now the prince is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period and has heirs, and His Majesty the Emperor is an emperor who has received a great blessing, but he suddenly canonized his eldest daughter as the eldest princess, and also added a prison of state affairs, it can be seen that the emperor's love for this eldest daughter has reached an unparalleled level, and even some ministers are calculating in their hearts, if the emperor does not have a suitable heir under his knees after a hundred years, then will there be a female emperor in the history of Xia Yuan?
