It is a misty and rainy spring day. The sky is covered with clouds, and pedestrians on the streets of Beijing are holding oiled paper umbrellas and walking in a hurry. The vendors who set up stalls will not leave their stalls today.
News that shocked the entire Apocalypse Kingdom came out from the imperial palace.
Article 1: The emperor died suddenly.
Article 2: The general rebelled last night and was beheaded by the prince and his men to quell the rebellion. All relevant persons have also been imprisoned in the sky prison to await their fate.
These two articles, whether it was the sudden death of the emperor, the rebellion of the generals, or the "resurrection" of the prince, caused an uproar in the capital!
Who could have imagined that just one night would change the capital city?
All civil and military officials went to court as usual, but this time, they were paying homage to the new emperor.
Jiang Qi and Liu Xiang stood at the front of the hundred officials.
The original prince Wei Cheng is now wearing a dragon robe and is a real young emperor.
The original Eunuch Li was pushed out, and Wei Cheng's loyal attendant Changsheng became the first eunuch.
The young emperor, with sharp eyebrows, sat in a high position, overlooking the ministers at the foot of the steps.
And Changsheng was holding the plaque and reading out the imperial edict——
"...The late emperor succeeded to the throne with Crown Prince Wei Cheng..."
After the edict was read out, the civil and military officials were silent for a moment.
Jiang Qi lowered his eyes and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you!"
Liu Xiang followed closely behind, "Welcome Your Majesty!"
Afterwards, no matter what they were thinking, all the officials knelt down towards the young emperor and said, "Long live my emperor!"
Wei Cheng looked at the people in the audience and said majestically: "Get back on your feet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After that, the empress dowager, who was the former empress, sat behind the emperor. With the young emperor's order, the empress became the only empress dowager in the palace, with supreme honor.
All the officials congratulated: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"
The Queen Mother said majestically: "Pingshen."
"Thank you Queen Mother!"
Of all the women in the harem, only the queen eventually became the queen mother, while others such as Concubine Jing were already in prison. All the other concubines of the late emperor who had no heirs were sent to the national temple to be married in accordance with the ancestral system of Tianqi Kingdom.
If she is a nun and has children, she will only be given the title of dowager, which is completely incompatible with the status of the queen mother.
Concubine An was also one of the concubines, and because she was good-natured, she gained more respect. As for Concubine Yan, she had no choice but to become a nun and be sent out of the palace. No matter how much trouble Concubine Yan made, the previous court was still discussing matters.
The first thing is to decide the day when the late emperor will be buried, and the whole country will mourn for seven days. Only plain white is allowed, and no other colors are allowed. After seven days, the imperial master of Qintianjian will preside over and let the late emperor be buried in the mausoleum.
Originally, every emperor of the Apocalypse Kingdom had to build his own mausoleum when he died. However, the former emperor died suddenly and passed away too quickly. Only one-third of the mausoleum was built, so the former emperor was not allowed to bury what he had prepared for himself.
In mausoleums, only ancestors can be buried in their graves.
Because of the mourning, Wei Cheng's enthronement ceremony and the Queen Mother's canonization ceremony were scheduled to be held seven days later, with the day selected by the Qintian Supervisor. Historically, the enthronement ceremony has always been a grand event.
However, Wei Cheng, the young emperor, suggested that it was not easy to appreciate the people in the south and that the court did not encourage extravagance and extravagance. It was up to him to make the decision and simplify all the enthronement and canonization ceremonies.
The first thing Wei Cheng did when he ascended the throne won the praise of many people. They all praised the new emperor for his personal management and disaster relief, for being considerate of the people's sentiments, and for being a good emperor.
In the court, the new emperor also vindicated the Jiang family and praised Jiang Qi and others for their outstanding contributions in the south, as well as the "lucky star" Princess Jiang Zhao of Changning who solved the cholera incident.
Not only was the Jiang family rehabilitated, Mrs. Jiang was able to return home. Jiang Qi, who was originally Prime Minister, was also granted the title of Ning Guogong. He was the youngest hereditary Duke since the founding of Tianqi Kingdom, and Jiang Qineng had a new Duke's mansion. Jiang Qineng
Li, Jiang Shou and several other Jiang family members who had no fame before were also granted titles. The top two were rewarded with silver, and the titles could be hereditary.
The Jiang family, after going through ups and downs, suddenly became like the sun!
As for the general, because of the rebellion, the new emperor ordered the execution of the nine tribes. The newly vacant position of general was held by Jiang Nian, the second son of the Jiang family and now the eldest son. Jiang Nian suddenly became the youngest general in the Apocalypse Kingdom with a heavy army.
!
The eldest and second son of the Jiang family has two sons, both civil and military, not to mention that the other sons also have their own specialties and are marquises and nobles. They are really enviable to others!
Not only that, Princess Jiang Zhao of Changning was awarded the title of "Elder Princess of Changning" because she helped control the refugees in Guifeng and fought against cholera. Her status was the same as that of a royal princess, and she enjoyed more food! The scope of her fiefdom was also larger!
After the next court, many details about the disaster relief activities of the Crown Prince and the Jiang family in Qingyuan, Guifeng were also spread. Many people talked about it with great interest, and many of them were even included in storytellers' storybooks.
It is sung every day in the restaurant.
"Have you heard? Our eldest princess Changning is really a lucky star descending to earth! As long as she holds the hand of a refugee, cholera will be cured!"
"That's an exaggeration! But I heard that the princess stood with the refugees in Guifeng during the most critical moment of Guifeng, and even took charge of governing Guifeng herself! It's really good! She has the demeanor of the eldest princess back then!"
"Of course! After all, she is the granddaughter of the eldest princess! She naturally has the demeanor of the eldest princess!"
"Master Hou from Guifeng City is really righteous! I heard that he managed well this time, and the imperial court specially promoted him!"
Although there are many exaggerated rumors, people's comments are basically praising him.
With the burial of the late emperor and the new emperor's ascension to the throne, order in the capital was quickly stabilized and everything continued as usual.
Fubao, Jiang Pei, Jiang Yun, and Xiaohu also returned to Taixue to continue their studies.
It's just that the current Taixue, who dared to follow Qin Lan Changle to bully them before, has become honest. When they see them, they are like a mouse meeting a cat, and they don't dare to provoke Fu Bao and the others at all.
The main reason is that Qin Lan has been implicated because of the general, and Taixueli will never have such a person again.
As for Princess Changle, she had been beheaded because of Concubine Jing. But Changle was still a princess after all. The new emperor spared her life, but she could only be imprisoned in the palace, and the Imperial Academy could not see her anymore.
Therefore, those who relied on fawning over the two of them in the past now dare not offend Fu Bao.
He even wanted to take the initiative to please Fu Bao.
"Um, Fubao, do you want me to help you with your homework?"
"There are new fruits sent to my house, they are delicious! May I give you some?"
These are just like afterthoughts, they are designed to please Fubao. Fubao hates them when he sees them and refuses them outright.
Over time, these people will no longer be looking for trouble.
Tangning was happy: "Hey, we have to let these people suffer! Fubao, let's play together!"
"Okay!" Fu Bao nodded.
Jiang He, Fubao, Tangning, Liu Ruyun, and Liu Guanghe became Taixue's best playmates.
