The next day, in the main hall, Zhu Feng officially issued an edict, canonizing the prince Zhu Chengxuan as King of Wei.
Because the king of Wei was still old, he still stayed in Chengqian Palace without permission to open a mansion.
At the same time, another decree was promulgated, conferring Jian Ruocheng the title of Dongge University Bachelor.
As soon as these two decrees were promulgated, the ministers in the court were shocked.
Because, Dongge University Bachelor is an official position created by Emperor Gao, and only one person has ever held it. This person is the former important minister Qin Zhengqi.
This person was not born under Emperor Gao, but was reused only after he ascended the throne. He holds two official titles, one of which is Dongge University Bachelor.
And the other official title is Prince Shaoshi.
It can be said that the establishment of the official title of Dongge University Bachelor was specially created for the crown prince. Now, Zhu Feng canonized Jian Ruocheng as Dongge University Bachelor at the same time that he canonized the prince Zhu Chengxuan as King of Wei.
The connection among them is astonishing.
Above the court hall, the courtiers have different expressions, some are surprised, some are joyful, and some are puzzled.
There is also sullenness.
Among them, the one with the ugliest face was naturally Cheng Guogong Wu Yingqiu.
Of course he already knew that his daughter had been demoted to Concubine Zhuang, and her power in the harem had dropped sharply. At the same time, he also knew that the uncle of the newly conferred noble concubine had been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to be a political advisor.
Zhu Feng builds Beiping, and this person must be reused!
Thinking of this, he looked at them a little more gloomyly.
However, after retiring from court, he walked up to Jian Ruocheng with a smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Mrs. Jian for her promotion."
Jian Ruocheng bowed to him respectfully: "Duke."
"Master Jane is young and promising, which makes us old people admire."
Several other veteran officials in the court also came over.
"Master Jane, the future is limitless."
"Congratulations, Mrs. Jane."
Jian Ruocheng was very patient and courteous and dealt with them one by one, until all the old officials left one after another, Wu Yingqiu glanced at him, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
also left.
Then, a young eunuch came over and said to him: "Master Jian, King Wei invites you to Chengqian Palace to have a talk."
Jian Ruocheng nodded: "Yes."
As a young teacher, he can enter Chengqian Palace.
So, under the leadership of that little eunuch, he arrived at Chengqian Palace in a short while.
As soon as I entered the door, I was taken aback by the mountain of gift boxes on the table.
Zhu Chengxuan came over, raised his hand respectfully and saluted him: "Master Jane."
Jian Ruocheng also hurriedly saluted him: "His Royal Highness King Wei."
As he said, he looked at the gift boxes again: "These are—"
Zhu Chengxuan said a little embarrassedly: "Early this morning, some ministers in the court and ladies from various palaces sent them congratulatory gifts. It's not good for me to accept it, and it's not good if I don't."
Jian Ruocheng nodded.
Then he said with a faint smile: "These are just for sending and receiving, Your Highness don't need to care."
Zhu Chengxuan nodded.
Then he said: "Father asked me to ask my lord for more advice. In fact, I just happened to have some doubts these two days and wanted to ask my lord."
"Oh? What?"
The two of them walked towards the study next to them while talking.
And from outside, little eunuchs kept sending congratulatory gifts here, and soon, there would be no more piles on the table.
When Jian Ruocheng talked with Zhu Chengxuan for a while, and then walked out, some congratulatory gifts had already been placed on the ground.
He watched and sighed.
I heard that when Zhu Chengxuan was left alone in Beiping, the ministers in the court didn't even mention him.
But now, a letter for the king of Wei, immediately crowded with people.
Fortunately, this kind of ups and downs didn't seem to have much impact on this child. What he was most afraid of was that the prosperity and people's hearts in the palace would affect people's xinxing.
Thinking about going out like this, a young eunuch greeted him at the door.
"My lord, this servant is leading you out."
"Trouble."
Jian Ruocheng nodded and followed him out.
This time is the hottest time of the day.
Jian Ruocheng followed him, walking up and down under the red wall of the palace, and after a while, she broke out in sweat.
But he had a faint feeling that when he came, he didn't seem to have gone that far.
So he said: "This father-in-law, when I entered the palace, didn't it seem that I took this road?"
The eunuch walked in front and said with a smile: "Oh, because the queen is going to go on the other side, Lord Jane naturally wants to avoid it."
"oh… "
"So, let's go around the West Sixth Palace."
"The Sixth West Palace?"
Jian Ruocheng seemed to have thought of something.
At this moment, they passed by a palace gate and looked up—
Yikun Palace.
They really came to the West Sixth Palace.
And he vaguely remembered that the newly conferred imperial concubine was in the Yikun Palace in the Sixth West Palace.
Looking at the closed palace gate, I felt lost for a moment.
The footsteps also stopped.
He knew that Zhu Feng had been staying in the imperial study for the past few days.
Even the Hall of Martial Arts seldom returned.
This is of course abnormal for an emperor who has just conferred a concubine.
He could also see that there was something wrong with the two of them.
But I don't know what happened.
Nanyan is inside—have you suffered any grievances
Just thinking about it like this made him feel flustered, and he couldn't help telling himself that there were already too many people, even the emperor himself had warned him.
Things about her have nothing to do with me.
irrelevant...
At this moment, he was suddenly hit by someone.
He staggered and managed to stand still, only to see a young eunuch walking from the front. When he bumped into him, he immediately said: "Please forgive me."
Jian Ruocheng realized that he had lost his mind, and hurriedly shook his head, but the little eunuch in front had already walked back: "My lord, let's go?"
"Um."
He looked back again, and hurriedly followed him forward.
Just as his back disappeared into the front palace gate, the little eunuch who bumped into him just now ran to the other side, a narrow path.
Gao Yurong was standing there coldly.
The little eunuch carefully offered a jade tablet in front of her, and said with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty."
Gao Yurong took it slowly.
This piece of jade tablet is not exquisite in carving, but its texture is warm and moist, just like a gentleman like Jian Ruocheng.
So it has his name engraved on it.
It seems that it was a gift from the elders in the family.
Gao Yurong glanced at it for a while, then sneered, and handed the jade tablet back to the little eunuch, saying, "Since you are so dexterous, you can take out things silently."
"..."
"Then, it should be able to be silent, so let's put it somewhere else."
The little eunuch said: "But according to your mother's order."
"This time," Gao Yurong said, "No more failures!"
"yes."
The two turned around and left.
And after they all left, a black figure slowly walked out from the side.
