Chapter 148: The Restoration of the Dynasty
Since the Yuebai incident, nothing major has happened in the capital.
King Cheng gave up pressing Ji Xuan step by step, and stayed in the palace all day to meet with officials from all walks of life.
The same is true for Cheng Wang at this time of the year.
The various state capitals and those officials in the capital who cling to him or want to cling to him must prepare rich New Year's gifts at this time, either personally or send them to the Chengwang Mansion by their cronies.
According to the intimacy of these officials and the value of the New Year's gifts, King Cheng discussed with Ji Min and the officials which officials should be promoted and which officials should be released.
Money and vassals can be obtained at the same time at this time, no matter how busy King Cheng is, he is willing, these are his capital, and they are the basis for him to compete for the throne with Ji Xuan.
Although King Cheng did not move, Zheng Tai still did not relax his surveillance of Cheng Yuan, Jun Mo Drunken Restaurant, and Mo San.
Although no evidence has been found that they are the bridge between King Cheng and the Tianyi Sect, Zheng Tai believes that they must be related.
Ji Xuan originally wanted to design to confirm Zheng Tai's judgment, but the successive events made him have no time to take care of this matter.
Now King Cheng is busy receiving gifts and meeting officials from all walks of life, I am afraid that ordinary things will not arouse his interest, and Ji Xuan does not want to make a big move at this time.
Approaching the end of the year, Ji Xuan also wanted to spend the New Year happily and peacefully, this was his first New Year back in the capital.
Although he didn't know why King Cheng would suddenly let him go, he knew that King Cheng would definitely not stop there, but no matter what, everything would wait until the New Year.
This New Year's Qi Mansion is very lively, not only the three brothers Ji Xuan, but also Chen Qiding Muxi, and the Yun brothers who were brought back by the two of them to recuperate.
The Yun brothers were rescued by Chen Qiding Muxi and returned to the capital, and after Gong Que's diagnosis and treatment, although they still couldn't get out of bed and walk, they recovered very quickly.
Originally, their brothers were going back to Huzhou, but Ji Xuan was afraid that something would happen to them, so he persuaded them to stay in the palace.
In fact, the Yun brothers also hit it off with Ji Xuan and the others, and they were reluctant to leave, so they agreed to Ji Xuan's persuasion.
The emperor hadn't woken up during the Chinese New Year for three years, so he was extremely happy to wake up for the New Year this time. In addition, he figured out some things and determined the candidate for the crown prince, but he had the biggest concern, which made him even happier.
Without the emperor's edict, the following ministers already know how to do it, not to mention that there is King Cheng, who is actively preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, after the emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials to worship heaven and earth, a grand Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was held in the Taihe Hall.
The emperor had not participated in the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet for a long time, and in order to please the emperor, King Cheng united with his ministers to hold this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in an extremely grand manner.
All the officials above the fifth rank in Beijing were invited to participate in this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and together with the princes and earls, there were as many as 100 people.
The Yue delegation is also in the capital, so naturally it is also invited.
The emperor had already summoned the Yue delegation yesterday, and he had a good impression of Yue Bai. White and pure, like a scholar.
Looking at the tsunami-like worship of the hundred officials in the mountains below, the emperor smiled very brightly and was extremely happy.
At the end of the worship, the emperor began to reward hundreds of officials, as long as it was a person who came to the banquet, regardless of the size of the official position.
King Cheng was rewarded with a red coral tree, which was paid tribute by the subject countries of the East China Sea, and it was very large and was a rare and superb product.
Ji Xuan was rewarded with a sword.
Looking at his and Ji Xuan's rewards, King Cheng smiled secretly in his heart. In his opinion, this represents the attitude of the emperor. Ji Xuan's sword was a few grades worse than his own red coral. What's more, the sword is a martial artist's thing, can a martial artist be the emperor of the Great Wei?
Ji Xuan likes this sword very much, although his saber is also extraordinary, it is still much inferior to this one.
The whiter also has a reward, a piece of jade Ruyi.
After the reward, the Chinese New Year's Eve feast began.
Singing, dancing, delicacies and wine, a peaceful and cheerful scene.
At the end of the dinner, the emperor announced to his ministers that there was an important announcement after the resumption of the New Year, and he also asked the Yue delegation to leave Beijing later to witness the important moment of the Great Wei court.
When the emperor said this, of course, everyone knew what he was going to announce.
Ji Xuan was silent, but King Cheng was happy, although he was trying his best to restrain himself, he still made people see that he was happy.
Judging from the background of King Cheng and Ji Xuan, as well as the reward of the emperor just now, the position of this prince is none other than King Cheng.
The emperor was in a very good mood, drank more wine, was already slightly drunk, and after announcing this matter, he knelt down in the eyes of the hundred officials, and went back to the palace to rest with the support of the great eunuch.
Ji Xuan didn't stay long, and returned directly to the palace after the emperor left, and those friends in the palace were still waiting for him to celebrate the New Year together.
King Cheng wanted to chat with Ji Xuan after the emperor left, but before he could leave his position, an official came forward to congratulate him, and when he broke away from these officials, Ji Xuan had already left.
Looking at Ji Xuan who was leaving, the corners of King Cheng's mouth raised slightly, and then he did not shy away from accepting the congratulations of the hundred officials.
Ji Xuan returned to the palace, and several people in the palace were still waiting for him.
Ji Xuan also put away his reserve at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, recovered his nature, and talked and laughed with several people, very happy.
used to spend the New Year in Moxiao Mountain, because there was no evil son, the three brothers were not very open.
At this time, in Ji Xuan's palace, there were no elders, they were all young people, unrestrained, and very happy.
This New Year was very cheerful, and the Great Wei court was peaceful.
Especially the king, who is in a good mood, has a reward for all his vassals.
The first early dynasty of the Restoration Dynasty, because the New Year squeezed a lot of things, it was almost noon after dealing with these things.
The civil and military officials stood for several hours and persisted, and they were all waiting for the emperor to announce the big event.
Yue Bai and Yue Kun also stood on top of the court, and they were also waiting quietly.
The emperor hadn't sat for such a long time, and he was a little tired, but the matter was not announced, and he was happy in his heart, so he insisted.
Now that everything is taken care of, it is time to announce it.
The emperor straightened his dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair.
Seeing the emperor like this, the officials below knew that the important moment had come, and they all stood more upright and listened to what the emperor was going to announce next.
Ji Xuan was still silent, King Cheng was happy in his heart, and he no longer deliberately suppressed it at this time, and his face was full of joy.
The emperor cleared his throat and said with a sigh of relief: "The Great Wei royal family was completely damaged in the midst of all the difficulties, and in desperation, I dragged my sick body to the throne, but my body is destined to be unable to lead the Great Wei to prosperity again. I originally wanted to choose one of my princes who had the ability to inherit the throne as soon as possible, so that I would not worry about fainting one day and never waking up again, and I could also let him lead Great Wei to become strong again. ”
"But it backfired, my prince left one after another, leaving only the second prince and the ninth prince, but the nine princes almost died of the strange poison in their bodies, which is why I never let him return to Beijing. But now it seems that my decision is correct, I not only keep a prince, but also protect the future Ming Jun for the Great Wei. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
