The return journey was peaceful.

The group traveled day and night, and finally returned to the imperial city in the evening of the fourth day.

The eldest princess of Jianing hurriedly summoned Zhang Taishi and other old ministers to discuss the death of Emperor Jianming.

When she came, she said to Fu Rudi.

Because for most of the month, Emperor Jianming has always said that the dragon body is seriously ill, and it makes sense that he died suddenly today. Although Taishi Zhang and others didn't understand why the emperor suddenly became ill, they interrogated Zhou Hai and learned that Emperor Jianming's illness was menacing, and no one dared to drag the cause of Emperor Jianming's death in other directions.

"The emperor died of a sudden illness, I can only say...... God bless Dayuan. ”

Taishi Zhang said in a mournful voice.

With his words, the eldest princess of Jianing breathed a sigh of relief and blamed Emperor Jianming's death on a "serious illness". Coupled with Fu Rudi and King Guangping adding oil and vinegar to the side, the old ministers were no longer suspicious and began to discuss the new prince.

"A kingdom cannot be without a king for a day."

When Taishi Zhang said this, he glanced at the east side of the palace, "The emperor's heirs are thin, and there are only two princes under his knees. The Seventh Prince is nine years old, and the Nine Emperors are six years old...... According to the old minister's opinion, if the elder is not young, he will support the seven princes to succeed to the throne. ”

These words are exactly what Princess Jianing wants.

She nodded: "The Seventh Prince's eyes are very smart. In the previous dynasty, there were also young emperors who were seven or eight years old, and the seventh prince turned ten years old this summer, which is not too young. She smiled slightly at Taishi Zhang, "Moreover, with Taishi Zhang, Master Fu and other ministers of the humerus to assist the auxiliary government, when the young emperor is sixteen years old, my Dayuan will definitely be prosperous." ”

"Eldest Princess Shengming."

Taishi Zhang stroked his gray beard and nodded again and again.

Everyone discussed state affairs in the Yangxin Palace, and after Emperor Jianming was buried in the imperial mausoleum, the enthronement ceremony of the seven princes was held.

At this time, Fu Rudi looked around and said in a low voice: "Do you want to talk to King Guangping about this matter again?" "Taishi Zhang is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is also a teacher and friend of King Guangping, so he understands King Guangping very well.

Zhang Taishi waved his sleeves: "King Guangping has endless glory and wealth, so don't bother him with these major events." ”

"After all, he is the governor of Shengjing Mansion......"

"Has he done his part as a mansion?"

Taishi Zhang made a serious face and snorted: "Don't think I don't know, he fishes for two days and dries his nets for three days, and leaves everything to Master Fu to handle." ”

Fu Rudi touched his nose and remained silent.

The eldest princess of Jianing also sighed, "Even if you tell him, you will only be informed." ”

Besides, King Guangping will not be involved in these things. Presumably, he has the same idea as himself, and he supports the Seventh Prince to succeed to the throne.

Tell Zhang Taishi and other ministers that the next day, there will be a national funeral.

Seven days after the burial of Emperor Jianming, it was followed by the enthronement ceremony of the Seven Princes.

The seventh prince lost his father at once, and he was still a little ignorant, and he didn't understand why he suddenly became the emperor.

In the splendid hall, the Seven Princes looked at the gorgeous bright yellow five-grabbed dragon robe, and they didn't dare to wear it on their bodies. At this time, the eldest princess of Jianing came over, squatted in front of him kindly, and touched his milky face, "Your Majesty, why haven't you changed your clothes?" The courtiers are waiting outside. ”

"Auntie, I'm ...... I'm scared. ”

The Seventh Prince said tremblingly.

"What's there to be afraid of? In the future, the country will be yours, and the world will be yours. You are the monarch of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the monarch cannot be afraid of anything. ”

The eldest princess of Jianing said softly.

Her tone made the Seventh Prince feel a little more emotionally stable.

Seeing this, the eldest princess of Jianing asked the people in the left and right palaces to wait for the seven princes to change their clothes. Outside the main hall, Zhang Taishi and other courtiers were already waiting, waiting for the new emperor to succeed to the throne and be worshiped by 10,000 people.

The Seven Princes wore dragon robes behind the beaded curtains.

In the quiet dormitory, there were only the eldest princess of Jianing and the two palace maids who served the seven princes to dress. At this time, the light at the door suddenly dimmed, and the eldest princess of Jianing raised her eyes, but it was the chubby body of King Guangping blocking the door, covering a lot of daylight.

He didn't wear court clothes, and he was still dressed casually and comfortably on weekdays.

"King Guangping? How did you get here? ”

The eldest princess of Jianing didn't doubt him, and thought that he couldn't figure out the process, "You should be in the main hall now, waiting for the new emperor with Taishi Zhang and others." It's not early, so hurry up. ”

Instead of retreating, King Guangping strode in and covered the palace door slightly.

The eldest princess of Jianing sensed that something was wrong with him, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

After all, after experiencing the Yingzhou incident, she and King Guangping have a common secret, and they get along more closely and harmoniously than before.

“…… Eldest princess, this king heard the palace maid say that you have been tired since you returned to the palace, and I am afraid that you will be sick, so this king brought you a ginseng pill that nourishes qi and nourishes blood. King Guangping said as he took out a black elixir from his sleeve.

He handed the pill with both hands.

The eldest princess of Jianing was puzzled.

"I am not in a hurry to replenish qi and nourish blood for such a moment, and after the enthronement ceremony, I am slowly recuperating. You didn't come to the dormitory just to give me ginseng pills, did you? ”

"This king feels sorry for the imperial sister."

King Guangping didn't put the ginseng pill back on his sleeve, "Since you're not in a hurry, let's eat it and go to the enthronement ceremony." ”

The eldest princess of Jianing is not a fool.

She looked hesitant, and did not reach out to take the ginseng pill for a long time, but looked at the black pill and subconsciously resisted in her heart.

King Guangping urged again.

He was so eager to let her take the so-called "tonic", and the eldest princess of Jianing couldn't help but retreat again and again, "This palace doesn't want to eat it now." She pointed to the table in the distance, "You can put it there, when it's empty, the palace will take it." ”

"That's not going to work."

King Quang Binh stepped forward, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

His tone was still smiling, but it made the eldest princess of Jianing feel terrified, "Today's ginseng pill ...... The eldest princess has to eat even if she doesn't eat. ”

"You!"

The eldest princess of Jianing was stunned.

She looked left and right and shouted, "Someone! Someone! ”

After shouting for a long time, except for the seven princes and two palace maids in the inner room, it was quiet outside the palace gate, as if all the guards and eunuchs who had been guarding before disappeared in an instant.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

"Aunt?!"

The Seven Princes and the palace maids were confused.

King Guangping immediately covered up his past with his harmless signature smile, "It's nothing. The eldest princess wants to take tonic medicine and call someone to pour water. After finishing speaking, he silently warned the eldest princess of Jianing with his mouth, "The Seventh Prince is still young, don't scare him." ”

Thinking of the Seven Princes, the eldest princess of Jianing instantly seemed to be pinched in her weakness.

The only prince of Emperor Jianming must not be lost in her hands.

"It's alright, you can go ahead and get dressed in the inner room...... Dress up the emperor more elaborately. ”

The eldest princess of Jianing avoided frightening a few people, so she had to pretend to be calm and hold back.

When the Seventh Prince left with the palace people, and only she and King Guangping were left in the main hall, she glared at King Guangping hatefully and asked, "Say, what do you want to do?" ”
