At this kind of sensitive time, the biggest advantage of Xiuwang is age. Many ministers did not necessarily have a personal friendship with him, and they would support him unconditionally just because he had the word "long".

They are not supporting the king of Xiu, but the rules and etiquette.

It is self-evident what the emperor has chosen to succeed now.

"The back position has been vacant for many years, the noble concubine Zhou, Yuxiu is famous, and respectful and virtuous. I want to establish it, what do you think? ”

When Emperor Xingyuan asked this, the ministers had different expressions.

Of course, those who unconditionally supported Emperor Xingyuan would not object, and those who valued rules and etiquette had already asked for many times because of the vacancy of the throne, and those who really supported King Xiu wanted to oppose it, but there was no reason to oppose it.

There is no owner in the harem, and the emperor wants to establish the righteousness of the day after tomorrow, and the biological mother of the three princes cannot find fault with their shortcomings, and it can be said that there is no dispute about their success.

The ministers who supported King Xiu secretly exchanged glances, but no one dared to say anything.

It can't be said that the mother and concubine of the third prince are not suitable, and King Xiu's mother and concubine An are suitable, right?

You must know that Concubine An was ignored by the emperor for many years, and it was not until King Xiu turned fifteen out of the palace that she was promoted to the concubine. They said that An Concubine was suitable, and she couldn't even pass this hurdle herself.

Emperor Xingyuan looked around at the ministers and nodded with satisfaction.

"Since you have no objections, then choose an auspicious day and perform the ceremony of canonization."

As the ministers left the palace, the news spread that Zhou Guifei, the biological mother of the third prince, was going to be established as the successor.

Xin Yu sat in the office room, and saw a few people looking at the painting, and stopped talking.

She walked out and smiled and asked a few people what was wrong.

"Xin waits for the edict, is there anything wrong after the next office? If it's okay, let's get together. The tone of the painting edict is quite natural, but the eyes are a little cautious.

Xin Yu understood that a few edicts had heard about the concubine being sealed, thinking that she was unhappy, and called her to eat wine to relieve her mood.

"It's unfortunate that something happened today, I'll invite a few brothers another day."

Seeing that she looked calm, her eyes were calm, and she didn't look particularly sad, she smiled and said, "That's good, we are free every day." Wait for you to be busy, and we'll go back to the West Hall. ”

Xin Yu watched a few people enter the waiting hall, turned his head to look at the neat and quiet office room, and simply walked outside the Hanlin Courtyard.

Along the way, there are countless strange eyes.

Not long after walking out of the Hanlin Courtyard, Xin Yu saw He Qingxiao standing under the tree on the side of the road.

She walked over and asked, "Are you waiting for me?" ”

He Qingxiao nodded calmly.

"Why don't you ask the doorman to deliver a message to me? If I come out again, I will have to wait a long time. Xin Yu walked up to him, and the two walked forward together.

"It's okay today, so I'll pass the time when I wait." He Qingxiao looked at her.

"No sadness." Xin Yu guessed what he was worried about and spoke directly.

He Qingxiao paused and looked deeply into her eyes.

Xin Yu raised his head slightly, and did not hide his emotions in front of him: "It seems that all the news about the future of the book is going to be established today, probably everyone thinks that I am unhappy." ”

She took a few steps forward, and someone in the distance looked curiously.

"What my mother doesn't want, others get, I don't feel anything."

It only made her see the man's decision clearly.

Instead, she was curious about how King Xiu felt when he heard about it.

King Xiu was surrounded by his staff in the study at this time, facing anxious and solemn faces.

"Your Royal Highness, once the queen's canonization ceremony is officially held, the three princes will have the status of concubines!"

Xiuwang looked at the person who spoke.

When the prince leaves the palace to open the palace, he will configure a set of teams, and these subordinate officials are destined to lose and prosper with him.

He understood the feelings of these people, but he didn't have the strength to care about their feelings.

"Your Highness—"

King Xiu looked at him coldly, and his tone was cold: "Do you want Xiao Wang to go and tell his father that he should not be crowned as a successor?" If Xiao Wang's words were useful, then the father would not have been crowned a successor at this time. ”

Several of the staff members were silent.

Originally, the advantage of the battle between the eldest prince and the third prince was not small, and it can be said that it was logical to make the eldest prince the crown prince in the hearts of the ministers. Even if the emperor favors the three princes, there will be a lot of resistance.

But the emperor didn't mention the establishment of the three princes at all, and did not give the hundred officials a chance to argue, but established them first.

This is tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle and blocking the way of the eldest prince.

One of the staff members sighed.

Being a prince's subordinate official is actually not bad, but His Royal Highness is obviously the most suitable person and has the greatest opportunity, such a result is really unwilling!

"Let's go out, Xiao Wang is tired."

Several people got up and saluted and left silently.

King Xiu sat in the study, motionless.

It was getting dark a little bit, there was no palm light in the study, King Xiu closed his eyes, and a tear was hidden by the darkness and quietly flowed.

After that, Qin Tianjian wanted to choose an auspicious day, and some yamen, mainly from the Ministry of Rites, regarded this as a top priority and began to prepare.

Generally speaking, such a ceremony should be prepared for at least a month, and the auspicious day given by Qin Tianjian is just over a month later.

When King Xiu went out again, he saw that he was busy with the post-sealing ceremony, and he was talking about the post-sealing ceremony everywhere.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Xiu." The two officials who were talking noticed that King Xiu was passing by, and they hurriedly stopped and saluted nervously.

King Xiu bowed in return and walked over, and heard a relieved voice behind him.

In just a few days, the most powerful contender for the prince has become a pitiful one in the eyes of hundreds of officials and nobles.

In the palace, Emperor Xingyuan asked about King Xiu's reaction.

"His Royal Highness King Xiu looked a little depressed, but he didn't express his dissatisfaction."

Emperor Xingyuan nodded when he heard this, and asked Xin Yu how he was.

"Princess Ayu, everything is as usual."

Emperor Xingyuan didn't believe it, and he was embarrassed to summon Xin Yu into the palace, and instructed Sun Yan to send many rewards to Xin's house.

The three princes have the position of prince, and Xin Yu has favor, this comparison makes King Xiu more and more pathetic.

King Xiu returned to normal after a few days of depression, and was gentle and humble in dealing with his ministers, which was secretly regrettable.

The three princes can't see that King Xiu is generous and peaceful, and it is very good to be a king who keeps the success.

It's a pity that no matter what the officials think, the preparations for the post-closure ceremony are progressing step by step, and they will not stop because of the regret of some people.

The day before the canonization ceremony, Honglu Temple set up a festival book treasure case in the Fengtian Temple. On the same day, hundreds of officials kowtowed, and the queen thanked the queen mother after receiving the canonization, and received the congratulations.

The next day, according to the statute, the prince entered the palace to celebrate.

When there was only one prince of the dynasty, King Xiu, he took him as the leader and brought all the princes to meet Queen Zhou.

The ceremonial officer invited the queen to ascend to the throne, and King Xiu knelt down: "Boy Chen Ping, I would like to lead my brothers to congratulate Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother." ”

One bow, another bow, King Xiu took a few princes to get up after bowing eight times, and then Princess Xuan took her two younger sisters to the new queen to bow eight times.

King Xiu silently watched his three younger sisters bow to the queen, and there was no pomelo among them.

Not recorded in the royal jade, she unsurprisingly avoided such occasions.

He looked at the third prince Chen You with his spare eyes again.
