Chapter 241: The Edict of the Son of Heaven
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui stopped in front of Chen Feng and the others, still smiling, and said: "Isn't this the new concubine? Chen Feng, Chen Feng, I really didn't expect you to become the brother-in-law of this king, which really surprised this king! This time it is rare to go back to the capital, and I will definitely have a good reunion with my brother-in-law." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Obviously, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi was also present, but Zhu Gaochu ignored him, which shows that his hostile attitude towards the prince has been put on the surface. And Chen Feng sabotaged his plan before, but he still greeted him with a smile, obviously intending to recruit Chen Feng.
Recruit a strong martial arts and intelligent horse, what is the previous grievances!
Chen Feng had to make his attitude clear, not to mention that he didn't have a good impression of Zhu Gaoxu in the first place, so he said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han still stays less in the capital, I advise you to return to the fiefdom tomorrow, so as not to worry the emperor." ”
An Le pulled Lachen Feng, because Zhu Gaoxu was also her own brother. She didn't understand the battle in the court, but she didn't want to see her husband and brother at odds.
Chen Feng naturally will not relax his vigilance against Zhu Gaochu because of An Le, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi is also An Le's elder brother, when the two brothers fight to the death, you must make a trade-off.
Zhu Gaoxu was very dissatisfied with Chen Feng's attitude, and said angrily: "If this king does not return to the fiefdom, how can my father be worried? I haven't seen my father for a while, and my father and emperor are not in good health recently, so I should stay in the capital and accompany my father and emperor." ”
Chen Feng is too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhu Gaoxu, anyway, there must be something to announce at today's family banquet, and when the time comes, let's listen to what the old emperor Zhu Di means.
followed Zhu Gaochi into the Qianqing Palace first, and there were already many people sitting in the palace. When the prince entered the venue, some people greeted him with a smile, while others greeted him expressionlessly, which also showed their support for the prince.
Then Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui entered the scene, and those who had been indifferent to the crown prince immediately became affectionate, and their positions were obviously biased towards the kings of Han and Zhao.
Looking at the forces supported by both sides, the supporters of King Han and King Zhao are actually on a par with the crown prince, and it seems that the two princes must still have plans to compete for the throne.
Everyone is ready to take their seats, and this seating order is also very particular. The crown prince must be at the head of the dragon throne, and then some senior old imperial uncles. Even if it is like King Han and King Zhao, it is impossible to be in the front, but I don't know who arranged the seats, and actually let Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui sit opposite the prince, so that the two sides are under the dragon throne on the left and right.
Chen Feng and An Le were originally going to sit in the back, but they were pulled by Zhu Gaochi to sit down. This is naturally not something that Zhu Gaochi can decide, but Zhu Di has already arranged it like this.
Chen Feng's support for Zhu Gaochi does not need to be said explicitly, the two trust each other. So when he was outside, Chen Feng was talking to King Han, and Zhu Gaochi didn't interject, just because he knew that Chen Feng would definitely support him.
Since it was arranged by the old emperor, Chen Feng and An Le sat down with peace of mind.
This family banquet is very grand, but it is different from the previous family banquets. The scale is larger, the number of people is much larger, and some princes who don't show up on weekdays are present. But these princes came alone, and did not bring the princess and children or anything like that, and there were no women at the banquet, and the only women were Anle.
The people have almost arrived, An Le looked at the people attending the banquet, and immediately realized that something was wrong, Rao is the usual arrogant and unruly princess, and she didn't dare to squeak at will when she leaned on Chen Feng's side at this time.
The main hall is lively, many people in the royal family have never even seen each other, and some people who know each other may not have seen each other for a long time. But everyone is not reminiscing, but talking about the purpose of this family banquet.
As the eunuch sang: "The emperor has arrived!"
Everyone knelt down and saluted, and Zhu Di appeared under the watchful eye of everyone, but he was a little unsteady when he walked, so Zheng He sat on the dragon seat with his support.
"Sit flat. Zhu Di tried his best to show the courage of the past.
Everyone got up and sat down, Zhu Di glanced around, and saw that some important members of the royal family had arrived, so he continued to speak, "It's rare to have a family banquet today, and a lot of old guys have been invited out, I will first introduce you to the new concubine Ma Chenfeng." ”
Only Zhu Di could call everyone present at will, and he waved his hand at Chen Feng and motioned for him to stand up.
Even if Chen Feng was unwilling, it would not be good to lose the face of the old emperor in front of so many people. He stood up and hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Chenfeng, I am just a vulgar person in the rivers and lakes, fortunately I am favored by Princess Anle, but I never treat myself as a colt, I just want to wander the rivers and lakes with An Le and live an idyllic life......"
Zhu Di's face was angry, and he immediately interrupted Chen Feng's words: "Ahem, Chen Feng, your words later are superfluous!"
Chen Feng smiled apologetically, and then sat back in his position, but his words made the scene silent, and everyone looked at each other without embarrassment.
Zhu Di was also embarrassed, he waved his hand and said, "Let's start the banquet." ”
The dancing girl entered the arena, and the silence in the hall was swept away, and the singing and dancing immediately leveled down.
Some old princes don't have so much thought, and they won't compete for the throne, so they naturally have fun in time, and they rarely get together, so they actually ran to the field one by one to dance with the dancing girls.
Chen Feng was still relatively calm, not to mention that he was staring at him with euthanasia, he didn't dare to take a second look at the gorgeous and moving dancing girl.
Halfway through the banquet, the royal program was indeed wonderful. All the princes gave Zhu Di a round of wine, but Zhu Di raised his glass but didn't take a sip, because he really couldn't drink wine, and in order to live longer, he would rather control his alcohol addiction.
The time was almost up, the princes didn't ask, and of course Zhu Di himself wanted to say the main topic.
Zheng He very cooperatively drove out the unrelated people, and then closed the door of the palace.
At this time, the fool knew that something important was announced, and everyone quieted down and waited patiently for Zhu Di to speak.
Zhu Di took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said more casually: "A few days ago, I drafted a holy decree, and the content is nothing, just the matter of passing the throne to the crown prince. ”
It's a casual statement, but this matter is a big deal! Usually emperors write their edicts when they are dying, so many people will make a fuss about it. The crown prince's position was never secure, as the heir could be changed at any time.
Although Zhu Di did not say it explicitly, this holy decree was clearly an edict, which of course aroused everyone's attention.
Zhu Gaoxu jumped up from his seat and said hurriedly: "Father, what do you mean by this?"
Zhu Di said lightly: "Isn't my meaning very clear? The royal family is summoned today to witness this holy decree. In the future, even if I want to change it, it won't work, everyone can supervise it!"
This sentence broke the idea of how many people were vying for the throne, and Chen Feng couldn't help but admire it. I don't know if there is such an episode in history, at least Chen Feng has never heard of any emperor doing this.
Zhu Di said very clearly, even if he wants to modify it himself, it can't be done, that is to say, the succession of the crown prince is already a sure thing, but Zhu Di did not announce Zen concession in public.
The old emperor has his own arrogance, even if he wants to give up the throne, but thinking that this will make people feel that he is old and useless, in order to keep the mighty image of his life, he will definitely not do this.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were red, he didn't want to return to the fiefdom when he entered Beijing this time, but he didn't expect Zhu Di to come out like this, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while. In a hot head, he shouted loudly: "Father, I don't agree with what you did!"
Zhu Di scolded angrily: "I have made it very clear, you dare to disobey!"
This angry rebuke made people see Zhu Di's former majesty, and Zhu Gaoxu was so frightened that he sat back in his position.
Zhu Di then said: "Many of you have fiefs, no matter who they are, after today's banquet, you will be limited to return to the fiefdom within three days, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
The emperor's dragon power brooks no provocation, and no one dares to raise objections. This family banquet ended in a solemn atmosphere, and Zhu Di's holy decree was hidden in the Tianbao Pavilion, and it was sent to the Tianbao Pavilion under everyone's attention, even if it was lost, it could not change the fact that this holy decree existed......
