Xiao Yu was bathed in incense, and put on a bright yellow python robe, deep robes and wide sleeves, which made his face like a crown jade, his eyes deep, and he had the aura of a young emperor.
The ministers who had already followed Xiao Yu were ecstatic, waiting for Xiao Yu to take the throne, to receive Xiao Yu's respect, and to carry forward their lintels well.
He Lianyue also came here dressed up in Chinese clothes, and she was pregnant now, and the imperial doctor ordered to take a good rest. However, today is the day when Xiao Yu was appointed crown prince, where could He Lianyue sit still? She may not like Xiao Yu, but she enjoys the satisfaction of being a princess and being admired by the people.
Xiao Yu worshipped the memorial tablets of the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the Taimiao, his eyes glide across each deck of memorial tablets, and one day, a hundred years later, his name will also appear here, and it will be left for the eternal life to offer incense.
That location...
The blood boiled all over Xiao Yu's body when he thought of it.
Since he was a child, he was unwilling to subdue to Xiao Zhuo. He is a prince. Why can he get the respect and favor of his father? Why can Xiao Zhuo get the support of so many courtiers? But it doesn't matter anymore, he is already a prince, and Xiao Zhuo has long since turned into a lonely ghost, and no one can stop him from reaching that position.
From the Taimiao, the honor guards surrounded Xiao Yu to the tower.
Xie Yunqing stood among the crowd, looking at the man above the tower.
Although he was expressionless, Xie Yunqing, who was most familiar with him, could tell at a glance that he was extremely proud and cheerful in his heart.
The people fell to the ground, not daring to look up at the face of the crown prince above the tower. To them, the royal family were noble and undisturbed, and they were not worthy of admiring the faces of the royal family.
"Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose—"
The calls were repeated and repeated between the sky and the earth. Xie Yunqing's mind was suddenly empty, as if the voices around her had nothing to do with her.
"Xiao Xuan," Xie Yunqing turned back to look at the person next to him, "Do you really want to chase that position?"
"Yes," Xiao Xuan's gaze was extremely firm, "Originally I just wanted to regain my own position, but now it's different. I want to sit in that position not only for myself, but also for the Li people."
Look at the suffering of the people, and then look at the corruption of the officialdom of the Zhou Dynasty. The world is full of people, but the emperor, as the monarch, only asks the immortal to ask questions. The courtiers fight for power and do not care about the life and death of the people. How long can such a court, such a great Zhou Dynasty, last
Xie Yunqing looked at the young man she liked. He probably didn't know how dazzling and public he was at this time. It made people reluctant to look away, just looking at him like this forever.
Xie Yunqing smiled, "Xiao Xuan, I will accompany you."
Since rebirth, she only wanted to stay away from the royal family, but now she has finally strengthened her conviction.
The teenager she loves is a member of the royal family, but he has a bloody feud with the royal family. They probably cannot stay away from power and fight in their entire lives. But what's the problem? They still have each other, even if there is a bloody storm in front of them, even if they are overwhelmed by thorns, they will not let go of each other's hands.
Xiao Yu and He Lianyue accepted the people's surrender and bowed down, and He Lianyue's face was already unconsciously showing complacency.
At this time, she finally realized, what if she can't marry someone she likes? Is there anything more important than power and status in the world
From the princess of Yu State to become the princess of Da Zhou, she gave up so much, but fortunately, she got more.
The sky suddenly darkened, and it was clear that it was a cloudless sunny day just now, and a large cloud of gloomy black clouds suddenly floated in the sky of the capital.
Dark clouds cover the sky and hang in the hearts of everyone.
Some people in the crowd talked: "What's the matter? Isn't today a good day? Why did it suddenly change?"
"I don't know, could it be a warning from the heavens..." The speaker suddenly stopped, glanced around in a panic, lowered his head and said nothing.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette broke out in a cold sweat, and he knelt down at Xiao Yu's feet with a "plop", "It's winter soon, and the weather will change when the weather changes. This is the reason for the solar terms. His Royal Highness is the crown prince personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor. There is a true dragon emperor. With luck, your Highness is a righteous prince, and your Highness must not listen to the nonsense of the fools."
Xiao Yu snorted.
Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites stood up, wiped off his sweat in silence, and sighed that the four princes had not received the courtesy and meekness of the prince before the prince. Why did they become so cold once they were appointed the prince. The Book of Rites was still wiping his sweat, but the thunder from above his head stopped his movements.
The black clouds are getting lower and lower, and the thunder is rumbling, but there is no wind around, and the air is extremely depressed.
The people boiled and fell to their knees.
The honor guard finally withdrew to the inner city of the capital in a panic.
He Lianyue leaned on her waist and followed Xiao Yu, Huarong looked pale, where is the gorgeous publicity just now
Xie Yunqing and Xiao Xuan smiled at each other.
"Your handwriting?"
"A great gift for Xiao Yu," Xiao Xuan said with a smile, "I hope he likes it." After a pause, he added: "When my father was alive, he saved the life of Qin Tianjian. The first two years were by coincidence. , I saved his life again, so he agreed to do things for me."
"So pick such a good day for Xiao Yu?" It's fine now, even if Xiao Yu becomes a prince, there will be lumps in his heart. Not to mention, the people are now in panic, Xiao Yu has already lost popular support. "I don't know how our emperor knows about this and how he thinks about it."
"The emperor is full-hearted and sensitive to these ghosts and gods. Even if Xiao Yu has already worshipped Taimiao, the emperor may not have no grudges in his heart." But nowadays, setting up a prince is not a trifling matter. , Just see how long the emperor can tolerate Xiao Yu.
It is strange to say that when the guard of honor returned to the inner city in a hurry, the dark clouds suddenly disappeared, and the heavens and the earth became bright again, but the dark clouds that had enveloped everyone's hearts never disappeared.
The emperor who was in retreat heard the news and did not speak for a long time.
Fang Dexi looked at the emperor anxiously.
He used to work for Concubine Gao and the second prince. Now that the second prince is dead, he should surrender to the fourth prince. However, looking at the posture, the future of the fourth prince is still unknown, so he should take a good look.
If the emperor has never been to court and ignores government affairs, then the new prince has been drastically reforming since he took office.
Xiao Yu wanted to make some achievements and get the recognition of others, so he completely ignored the several actions of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Vigorously tailoring officials, promoting reforms in the administration of officials, and increasing punishment and punishment for corruption and bribery of officials have caused everyone in the court to be at risk and complain. The lack of government officials and the breeding of corruption are a problem that has been entrenched in the Great Zhou Dynasty for a long time. However, Xiao Yu was too eager for quick success.
When the concubines came to greet the queen, the topic would inevitably involve Xiao Yu.
"I want to say, our prince really has the demeanor of the emperor when he was young. The concubine saw him from a distance that day, and the demeanor makes people never forget it at a glance."
Concubine Xiang Xian stabbed: "Unfortunately, the prince is not your son. No matter how much you flatter, you can still respect you as a mother in the future?"
"The prince's mother is naturally our empress, and no matter how bad the concubine is, she is also the concubine of the prince."
Concubine Xian was not happy these days, she was slapped in public, and she became more unhappy. If it weren't for the Queen's presence, she might be able to stand up and argue with her.
Just as unhappy as the concubine, there is also the biological mother of the third prince.
After Xiao Yu was established as the prince, the Liang 嫔 was named a concubine in Jin, and the birth mother of the third prince, Rong Bi, was named the concubine Rong. The two are also concubines, but there is no difference in status and treatment, who is not sure? One is the mother of the future emperor, and the other is the mother of the prince at best. Who is honored
Concubine Rong twisted her fingers. Both were the sons of His Majesty the Emperor. His son was even older. Why did Xiao Yu become the emperor? Speaking of which, Xiao Yu's biological mother was nothing more than a lowly beauty. She was a fox-like glamour. She had been dead for almost 20 years, and she was uncomfortable.
However, after Xiao Yu became a prince, the queen and concubine in the harem probably didn't respond at all.
The former is because she is already the queen of the maternal ritual world, and whoever becomes the prince will not shake her status. The latter, no one can guess, why Liang Fei did not seem to be half happy, and kept herself in the palace every day to copy the Buddhist scriptures, always indifferent and indifferent.
After speaking for a while, several people came out of the Changqiu Palace.
"Our three princes have to study hard from the prince, how to solve problems for your majesty, and the ignorance all day, it really makes me a headache." Rong Fei said meaninglessly.
"Concubine Rong, you are going to be talking nonsense. His Royal Highness is the prince and the emperor of the future. Can the three princes be comparable? The three princes only need to enjoy the glory and wealth with peace of mind."
Concubine Liang listened to everyone's remarks, not the slightest move.
The grand palace lady who was sent by the queen to send off her concubines lowered her head and silently remembered, and she told the queen when she went back.
"Let them fight," said the queen expressionlessly, "if the eldest prince in this palace is healthy, this palace may not look at their excitement from the sidelines."
"If our eldest prince is in good health, where is there for them to jump up and down?"
"Speak carefully." The queen whispered.
The maid of the palace hurriedly shut her mouth, knelt down in front of the empress, and slapped herself twice, "The slave and maid knew that she was wrong, please be punished by the empress."
"Tsef, there are some things that my palace can say, but you can't."
"Slaves remember."
The queen looked forward, her eyes empty for a long time.
Six months later, the prince's side concubine Shen Miaohua gave birth to the prince's eldest son. Although he was a concubine, he was the first child of the prince and the first grandson of the Zhou Dynasty. His status was extraordinary.
After the birth of the little emperor's grandson, even Xiao Yu was very kind to Shen Miaohua after the haze that had been shrouded in the Prince's Mansion for several days. The Little Emperor Sun Moon Ceremony was held in an exceptionally grand manner, but Crown Prince He Lianyue did not show up.
