Chapter 345: King Zhao was terrified
As for the crown prince Yuanzhi, he looked at the Jiye Emperor who was motionless on the sickbed, only his eyes were turning, and he felt a little emotional in his heart.
What about the emperor, above hundreds of millions of people.
But once he falls, he is just an ordinary person who is about to die.
The current Yuan Zhi is a combination of two people, and the soul is transferred from the later generations, so he has little emotional foundation for the emperor in front of him.
And the body belongs to another person, but the genes of the Yuan royal family flow in the blood.
With the full support of the previous emperor, he decisively let him govern the country, and gave him two protectors, which gave him his current power.
Therefore, Yuan Zhi is still grateful to him in his heart.
He sincerely hoped that the emperor would go calmly and at ease, and he would try his best to guard filial piety like a filial son and send Yuanren to the end.
Before he died, he tried to meet all his requests, including wanting to see the emperor's grandson and so on.
It's just that, looking at the Jiye Emperor with a weak chest heaving, Yuan Zhi doesn't know how long he can hold out.
It's hard to say whether it's half a year or a year, maybe longer.
I remember that later medical books said that paralyzed patients have breath and can delay for a long time.
It's like a vegetative person.
For Yuan Zhi, the best willingness is for the emperor to move and become the emperor, and he becomes the emperor.
The Emperor Taishang can also help him to hold back a little bit.
Because the next step will be very stressful.
King Ning and they are very cunning, and the seven main vassal kings are now hugging together and have become a community of interests.
Yuan Zhi wants to break each one, and it is estimated that it will be difficult.
Unless there is a breakthrough, use counter-intrigues, so that their alliance will split and eventually fall apart.
Cutting the feudal domain is a big thing, there is only one chance, if you succeed, you will reign in the world, and if you lose, you will die or become a rogue.
Therefore, Yuan Zhi felt that the cutting of the feudal domain must be done safely and step by step.
"Salute." The queen said indifferently.
"Please, Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Crown Princess, Prince Jin, kneel!"
The official of the Ministry of Etiquette, who had already been well versed in the etiquette process, shouted softly.
Cao Feiyan, Yuan Zhi, Xiuniang, and Yuan Xuan all took a few steps back, and then knelt on the ground respectfully.
"Worship, heaven and earth immortals."
The crowd bent down and kowtowed.
After getting up, the Ministry of Rites official sang again.
"Second worship, ancestors and ancestors."
The crowd kowtowed again.
"Three worships, my emperor dragon is healthy and long-lived."
The crowd kowtowed three times.
“???”
"After the ceremony, get up."
The empress and the crown prince stood up, then approached the dragon couch and looked at the emperor.
Emperor Yuanren was bedridden for a long time, and his lung capacity became very small, so he was not close to him
The ears are no longer good.
The crown prince and the king of Jin were closer and whispered a few words to the emperor.
The queen and Xiuniang both dragged their robes, and it was inconvenient to kneel on the ground for a long time, so they paid attention to the salute next to them.
The queen and the crown prince bowed in the main hall, and the other royal children and major ministers, because they were not qualified to enter the main hall directly, knelt down in the left and right side halls respectively.
Following the singing, they performed three prostrations and nine prostrations.
Zhao Wang Yuanluo knelt in the left side hall, his face was insensitive.
He bowed mechanically, with only one thought spinning in his head.
This assassination failed, and who of the Vengeance Alliance were arrested?
In fact, he has only met with the helm master, Wu Zhige is King Ning's person, but their martial arts are difficult to be captured alive.
Besides, their appearances are disguised.
Thinking of this, his heart settled down a little, and the next step was how to deal with the prince's interrogation, as well as the surveillance of the secret guards.
After communicating with the Emperor, the prince got up and said, "Let's go,
I have asked my father to celebrate his birthday, and the palace birthday banquet should also begin. ”
After speaking, he took the lead in walking out of the main hall, looked at the people kneeling on the left and right sides of the hall outside, and slowly walked to Yuan Luo in the first row.
King Zhao was lying on the ground at this time.
A pair of gold-threaded cloud empty palace boots suddenly appeared on the floor in front of him, and he didn't need to look up to know that it was the crown prince.
Yuan Zhi kicked him with his foot and said coldly: "Look up!" ”
King Zhao raised his head with difficulty and looked up at the crown prince at a wide angle.
"You don't seem to like looking at Prince Ben in this position." Yuan Zhi grinned and sneered.
King Zhao lowered his head, tried to make a well-behaved gesture, and said, "Brother Zhao doesn't dare." ”
"Don't dare, or don't you like it?"
"His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the prison country, and the prince of the current dynasty, the courtiers should look up to him."
"Okay."
Yuan Zhi raised his hand and patted King Zhao's shoulder heavily, and said meaningfully:
"You said this yourself, you have to remember it."
Yuan Luo gritted his teeth slightly, lowered his head to cover the hatred in his eyes, his tone was extremely docile, and he said humbly: "Brother Chen, keep it in mind!" ”
The prince stood up with satisfaction, and said loudly to the crowd in the left and right halls: "Let's all get up, go to the Taiji Hall of Taiji Palace, the Ministry of Rites has arranged everyone."
Seats, thanks to the blessing of His Majesty, everyone gathers together, drinks longevity wine and eats longevity noodles. ”
After speaking, Yuan Zhi took the lead in walking out of Daming Palace and walked to the Taiji Palace next to it.
After a while, everyone arrived at the Tailai Hall of Taiji Palace one after another.
The queen and the crown prince sat down one after another, and the birthday banquet officially began.
The eunuchs stood on the side, and the palace ladies carried delicious wine, delicacies, fruits, etc.
The queen is in the main seat, the crown prince is on the side, and they are flanked by the prince of Jin Yuan Xuan and the crown princess Xiuniang.
The others sit in the first order.
The monarchs and ministers are together, and it seems that everyone is lively.
"Ladies and gentlemen, all ministers."
Prince Yuanzhi got up with the wine bottle.
Seeing this, all those who were talking to each other or fugue quickly came back to their senses quietly and quietly listened to the prince's instructions.
"Tonight is Your Majesty's birthday feast, although my father and the emperor are too sick to be there, but we should also be happy and lively, this first bottle respects heaven and earth."
Yuan Zhi lifted the wine bottle and spilled it on the ground.
"The second cup is for Your Majesty, please drink it on behalf of the queen."
After speaking, his wine bottle raised to Cao Feiyan, and then drank it up with his neck up.
"Respect the queen..."
“……”
With the crown prince taking the lead, everyone picked up the wine bottle and toasted Cao Feiyan.
Cao Feiyan's face was calm, and she raised the wine bottle and said indifferently:
"Prince, you Aiqing have a heart, let's all wish Your Majesty a long life."
After speaking, she took a sip of the wine in the glass, and her movements were flat.
Next is the wine to the prince.
Everyone walked around with cups and lamps.
After three rounds of drinking, the prince put down his glass and spoke.
"At the father's birthday banquet, this prince still has one more thing."
After saying this, the crown prince glanced at King Zhao and said in a deep voice:
"Now that the people in the Zongren Mansion are not in charge, the old prince is old, and the royal brothers and sisters are also older, everyone is from the royal family, and the blood of the royal family is flowing, so they should bear more responsibilities."
"Therefore, this prince plans to bring one person from the prince to the Zongren Mansion to assist the old prince to jointly manage the Zongren Mansion, I don't know what the queen mother thinks?"
Empress Cao Feiyan frowned slightly.
She didn't know what Yuan Zhi wanted to say.
