Chapter 008: The Two Great Dharma Protectors
Because of the court, no one will listen to the orders of the prince of the East Palace at present.
Hehe, it's useless to be imprisoned, just to deceive yourself.
"Concubine, you should avoid it first, I and the crown prince will talk about some key points of supervising the country in person, and as for the edict of promoting the queen, I will read it in court together with the edict of the crown prince."
Emperor Yuanren showed no mercy and ordered Cao Feiyan to retreat, and the eunuch led her to the side hall next to the Zichen Hall to rest.
In this way, only the crown prince Yuan Zhi and the chief attendant Ji Hong were left on the side of the dragon couch.
Yuanren's upper body was lifted by the inner eunuchs, leaning on the brocade pillow, staring at the crown prince Yuanzhi with burning eyes, his eyes full of fatherly love and expectation.
"Zhi'er, wait for the edict, you are the prince of the prison country, but you don't have a single soldier at hand, how to govern the program next, I have already considered this aspect, and I will give you two protectors first."
Yuan Ren said, twisted his head to the other side, and said in a deep voice to the chief attendant who was kneeling on the ground:
"Ji Hong, from now on, you will follow the crown prince, obey all his orders, and effectively protect his personal safety, can you do it?"
"Slaves and maids obey the order, please rest assured Your Majesty." Ji Hong bowed.
Yuan Zhi knew that Ji Hong was not only the head of the final Jin Dynasty, but he was also in charge of the dynasty's largest spy organization: the Imperial Secret Guard.
He is the chief of the Imperial Guard, called the Duke.
The dark guard has been there since the founding of the final Jin Dynasty, and it is said that it started from a small black house, so the dark guard is commonly known as the 'little black house' on the rivers and lakes.
After decades of development, the tentacles of the Imperial Secret Guard have spread all over the north and south of the country, and even the Turkic Khanate, the Tibetan State, and overseas countries have their rudders.
The number of members of the Dark Guard is estimated to be in the tens of thousands.
Except for some of the eunuchs in Beijing, the secret guard organization is a eunuch and eunuch, and its employees abroad are people from all walks of life.
"Decree that Fan Hu, the golden bull guard in the palace, will be sent to the East Palace to serve in the East Palace to protect the safety of the East Palace and the prince." Yuanren continued to arrange.
"Yes."
Then, Emperor Jiye asked the little eunuch who was close to him to take a yellow gilt brocade box from the imperial bookshelf and handed it to the prince.
Yuan Zhi opened the brocade box and saw that the golden brocade was wrapped in a crystal clear jade pendant, which should be made of mutton fat jade, and the shape was a coiled dragon, lifelike.
He looked at Emperor Jiye with a puzzled look.
"This is a dragon-shaped jade pendant, it is one of the palace treasures of the Yuan royal family, you take it, go to the Dingguo Mansion, convey my will to General Guo, and let Guo Xiuniang, the third lady of the Guo family, marry into the East Palace and become the crown princess."
Emperor Jiye told the crown prince very clearly that he would go and propose to Guo's mansion, so that Guo Wei's daughter would become the crown princess and form a political marriage.
Guo Wei's father, Guo Xiang, was the founding father of the Final Jin Dynasty, known as the military god of the Final Jin Dynasty, and was awarded the King of Zhongshan.
This is the only throne with a different surname since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.
It can be seen that Guo Xiang's contribution is huge, and it can be said that he is 'high in the world'.
It is precisely because of the 'high merit of the world' that after the founding of the country, it was feared by the Yuan royal family.
Five years ago, the military god Guo Xiang died, and his eldest son, the hussar general Guo Wei, did not succeed his father as the great Sima, but served as the general of Zuo Wuwei, the hereditary prince of Dingguo.
Since then, the Guo family has lived in seclusion, behaved in a low-key manner, and did not participate in the party struggle of the imperial court or the crown prince.
Now, making Guo Xiuniang the crown princess, that is, the future queen, is both an honor and a signal for the Guo family.
In fact, it is to let the Guo family stand on the side of the crown prince Yuanzhi from now on.
Emperor Jiye knew that if the crown prince was in charge of the country, without the strong support of the military, it would be like building a building on the beach, and it would fall apart at any time.
This Zuo Wuwei general Guo Wei is the second protector arranged by Jiye Emperor Yuanren to the crown prince Yuanzhi.
"The son has thanked his father, and he will supervise the country according to his father's will, and live up to the trust of the Yuan royal family and the expectations of his father."
Yuan Zhi, who was a human being in two lifetimes, naturally understood the good intentions of Emperor Jiye, and he felt that it was time for him to express his determination.
In the face of important occasions, ancient people attached great importance to the form of loyalty and commitment of the parties.
In ancient times, it was an era of credit that paid attention to reputation and dignity, made a promise, and face was more important than life.
"Well, I'm very relieved."
Yuan Ren listened to Long Yan Dayue, his spiritual qi was much stronger than before, and a flush resurfaced on his cheeks, which had been less bloody.
"Come on, let the Hanlin Academy draw up an edict, and then send the Huangmen squire to the Xuanzheng Hall to announce the decree in court."
Emperor Jiye's voice seemed to be several decibels higher than before, and even Ji Hong, the chief attendant beside him, nodded and smiled in surprise.
It's really a happy event, and people are in good spirits.
This phenomenon seems to be the first time since Emperor Jiye was paralyzed in bed.
……
After an hour, nearly 1,000 palace guards, eunuchs, and palace maids were arranged, and a major edict of honor was completed inside and outside the Daming Palace.
Around the Daming Palace, martial law has been imposed, and it is full of dense palace guards and hundreds of knights, standing quietly around the palace.
But there was not a single commotion to be heard here.
Around the palace wall, the seven-star flags of the sun and moon of the final Jin empire are planted, and in the autumn wind blowing on both sides of the street, hunting sounds.
Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Hall and Zichen Hall and other inner halls of the Ming Dynasty are surrounded by the walls of the inner hall of the Ming Dynasty, all of which are standing guards in golden armor, which are the emperor's guard of honor - Qianniu Guard.
"Salute!"
With the singing of the undertaker, the palace music played, and the hundred officials in the hall, under the leadership of Cao Qichang, stood according to the position of the daily court, holding the wat board and bowing their heads slightly.
At this time, from behind the screens on the left and right sides of the first jade platform of the Xuanzheng Palace, two new men and women walked out.
On the left hand side is Nangong Yan, I saw her wearing a crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes, wearing a sacrificial phoenix dress, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, and slowly walked to the front of the hall.
Of course, the one who appeared on the right was the prince Yuanzhi, I saw that he was wearing a white bead nine crowns, wearing a red four-clawed dragon robe, and Ji Hong, the chief of the inner chamberlain, and Qianniu Wei Zhonglang put Fan Hu on the side, and also walked slowly to the front of the palace.
With the undertaker, the Huangmen attendant waved his hand, and a Huangmen Sheren took a few steps forward, took out two volumes of edicts wrapped in golden silk cloth from the edict, and held them up with both hands.
"Edict..."
The civil and military officials and royal clansmen below all knelt on the ground in place, bowing their heads and bending down.
And Cao Feiyan and Yuan Zhi, who were at the top, like everyone present, also had to kneel down on their knees facing south, stretch their hands forward, and bend down with their heads bowed.
Only the Huangmen Sheren who announced the edict held his head high.
Because he is representing His Majesty the Emperor, he should appear majestic.
The scene was silent and silent.
This is the first time that Yuan Zhi has visited the site of the edict in person.
In the past, in film and television works, when I saw this scene, I would think it was very funny.
But at this moment, he was nervous, his blood circulation accelerated, his adrenaline was secreted rapidly, he felt that the air was solidifying, and there was a faint feeling of pressure in his chest.
This is the majesty of the emperor.
This is not just for fun, only when you are there can you really feel it.
