The emperor yawned and was helped out by the palace maids and eunuchs, and while slowly walking away, he complained: "Why do you call the widow to get up so early in the morning?"

"Has the emperor forgotten that today is Chongyang, didn't His Majesty the Emperor discuss it with the Prime Minister?

"Oh, yes, yes, it's just that getting up early in the morning is really unpleasant. ”

"Your Majesty, it's only today that you're unhappy, and as soon as you explain today's affairs, you will be able to enjoy Qingfu. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, and rightly, if it were not so, how could a widow suffer such a crime?"

His Majesty the Emperor came to the front of the hundred officials, and after the hundred officials worshipped, the Chongyang Festival began.

Although it is Chongyang today, the weather is not good, and it can even be said to be weird.

"What about Lan Aiqing, why don't you see him?" the emperor asked the crowd after looking around.

At this time, Prime Minister Jia Rang said: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Shi is under house arrest in the palace, so he can't come to this grand event. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, how did Jia Aiqing's investigation go?"

"There has been some progress, but it has not yet been fully harvested, so this Imperial Doctor, I'm afraid he won't be able to come out for the time being. ”

"Forget it, wait a minute, let someone bring him some food and drink, and it should be a treat for him. ”

"Your Majesty is still generous. ”

"And what about the national teacher of Guoshoji Temple, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"The minister has already sent someone to pick it up, it should be there soon, Your Majesty should start the banquet first." ”

"Well, okay, okay, let's get started. ”

"Yes. ”

Subsequently, this Chongyang Festival was held extravagantly, with musicians accompanying music, palace maids dancing, wine, meat and good dishes, everything.

At the banquet, there were not only hundreds of officials, but also princes, princesses, and some eminent queen concubines, as well as the prime minister's son, Jia Guangguang, and beside him, sat the silent Lan Junzhi.

"This is the eldest lady of Lanfu, the name Junzhi, she is really a scholarly family, and everyone is beautiful. A prince stepped forward and said.

"I've seen Your Highness. "Although Jia Guangguang is domineering on weekdays, he also knows the occasion and proportion.

"Well, Guangguang, it's really a blessing that you can marry the eldest lady of Lan Mansion, if I can see the true face of Miss Lan earlier, I won't let you rob it." The prince teased in a weird way.

"Yes, yes, but Jun Zhi has become my beloved wife, which is really not what people want. Although Jia Guangguang was respectful to him, he still didn't give an inch between his words.

"Hmph, light, I'll just take it seriously, don't take it seriously. ”

"Your Highness, the light is not taken seriously, and the light is just joking with His Highness. ”

"You dare to make fun of me?"

"Naturally, I don't dare, but if you want to take the people in my hands, I will do whatever it takes. ”

"You dare to talk to me like this, do you know who will sit in that seat after today?"

"Ah, isn't it Your Majesty?" Jia Guangguang pretended to be surprised, then looked at the person in front of him, and said, "It's not Your Majesty, isn't it the eldest prince?"

"Hahaha, what do you say? Although I am the eldest prince, my father has not yet made me the crown prince, saying that I am not old enough, and I will talk about it after the coming-of-age ceremony, but I know that in fact, I don't want anyone to make me a prince so early. ”

"Oh, who else dares to stand in the way of His Royal Highness the Great Prince?"

"There is a clan, in the middle of the court, high power, can be said to cover the sky with one hand, they can control their father, but if I become the prince, they are not sure if they can control me, so, they are still planning, do you think I am right?

"His Royal Highness, you can't talk nonsense, Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, who dares to control Your Majesty in this court?"

Jia Guangliang knew that the clan that the eldest prince was talking about was his own Jia family, but he still pretended not to know, and he still had a feeling of being light and light.

The eldest prince looked at Jia Guangguang's eyes, the two looked at each other for a while, and the eldest prince said: "You don't look as squishy as it is rumored outside, can you inherit your father's mantle?"

"The eldest prince is overrated, and his father's position is in the prime minister, how can I be virtuous?"

"Haha, just kidding, please don't take it seriously, come, have a drink. The eldest prince invited Jia Guangdao.

A moment ago, it was still tense, but now the two laughed at each other, this is the palace strategy, this is the cunning of the old treacherous and cunning, the old scheming, Jia Guangguang has been by his father Jia Rang's side since he was a child, these court techniques, he naturally learned a lot, but he wants to appear as a gentleman, so that he will not attract more enemies to himself, and will not find greater danger to his father Jia Rang.

Lan Junzhi has been sitting on the side and silent, she is like an ice beauty now, during this time, after many princes glanced at him, they couldn't extricate themselves.

Jia Guangguang deliberately pulled Lan Junzhi back, so that she was behind him, and he used his body to block everyone's eyes.

Lan Junzhi was worried, it was nothing more than two people, one was his father Lan Haisheng, and the other was Lin Xun.

During this Double Ninth Feast, strange lights and sounds were repeatedly heard in the sky not far away, white light, golden light, and there seemed to be some black mist.

"What's going on?" asked His Majesty the Emperor, looking over there.

"Back to Your Majesty, it must be a gift from heaven, the white light is holy, the golden light is blessed, this is really a good recruitment. ”

"Oh, why is it still ringing?"

"This, the minister immediately sent someone to investigate, and it will definitely not affect this Double Ninth Festival. ”

"That's good, but when it comes to signs, it seems that today's God doesn't give much face, the widow's Chongyang Festival, how can it have a gloomy face, even if there is no sun, the stars in the sky are still bright, this is not like daytime. ”

"The vision of the heavens shows that Your Majesty's achievements have been covered for eternity, and even the brilliance of the sun has been obscured. ”

"Is that so?"

"Your Majesty, it's no different. ”

"Okay, Aiqing, let's continue. ”

"Yes. ”

The banquet was not over yet, but after three rounds of drinking, the emperor and the prime minister Jia Rang made eye contact, and then began to stand up and announce his important event.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the widow has one thing to announce today, that is, the widow has decided to abdicate and let my eldest son Liu Yuan succeed to the throne. ”

"This ......"

As soon as the emperor's announcement came out, the ministers discussed a lot below, and many of them opposed the matter. Because the emperor's health is still very healthy and his age is not too old, wouldn't abdication at this time be reduced to a faint talk?

Everyone understands this truth, but they dare not speak out, they are all subject to Prime Minister Jia Rang, and Jia Rang's one look makes them all shut up.

This is full of people, no one dares to speak, if Lan Haisheng is still there, he will definitely be the first to speak, but he happens to be absent, which is also one of Jia Rang's arrangements.

"It seems that I want to congratulate His Royal Highness the Great Prince. Jia Guangguang toasted him.

"Hmph, I like this woman next to you, but it's not something you can protect if you want to protect it in the future. When the eldest prince Liu Yuan heard the news, he was full of pride, and finally stopped hiding.
