Chapter 1493 Emperor Chongping: Now that the crown prince has been established, he should supervise the country...
Shenjing, Ningguo Mansion, in the study——
In winter, the sunlight is warm and warm. When it passes through the window panes, it shines brightly in the wing room.
As Zhen Qing trimmed her eyebrows, there seemed to be a coldness in her beautiful eyes as she said, "Can you really take care of yourself? Sisters Lan'er and Xi'er have both promised to you. In the eyes of outsiders, you and the prince are just the same."
grasshoppers on the ground.”
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "It's not that, it's because the Song family in Xianning and Yan'er are hard to deal with."
Now he is not only the Zhen family, but also the Song family.
Zhen Qing hummed softly, and under her two curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as moist as water, and she whispered: "Today, he said that after he ascends the throne in the future, he will make his son the prince. When the future comes, he will
You will be the regent."
Jia Heng shook his head and said, "That's not the case."
Hearing this, Zhen Qing felt somewhat ashamed and annoyed. She came closer and took Jia Heng's hand. Her beautiful, plump face seemed to be covered with a reddish aura of drunkenness.
"Are you going to help me or not?" Zhen Qing said angrily with a cold and graceful face.
Jia Heng said: "Recently, the cabinet has doubted me. How can I help you? All the Beijing camp needs is to mobilize more troops."
Zhen Qing snorted lightly and said nothing else.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, he looked at Zhen Qing intently, and said, "Okay, it's not me anymore."
Tian Niuer asked him to help the King of Wei, and Zhen Qing asked him to help the King of Chu. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law grabbed one of his arms, and they were really helpless.
Zhen Qing stretched out her arms and put her arms around Jia Heng's neck. Under her delicate and straight nose, two bright and slightly pink lips came closer and covered the young man's mouth.
After a while, he felt a warm breath covering his face, hitting Jia Heng's face.
Jia Heng's face was as calm as water. He gently pushed Zhen Qing away and said, "I'm going to have lunch later, so don't make people suspicious."
Just now, Keqing reminded him to some extent.
Maybe it's the three children who look alike when they are together?
In this way, Jia Heng and Zhen Qing talked quietly for a while and left the study without saying much else.
Chen Xiao glanced at the young man in the python suit. Under his beautiful eyebrows that looked like silk willows, there was a hint of surprise in his cold and clear eyes.
This man does know some sense of propriety today.
Everyone talked, walked towards the hall of Ningguo Mansion, and sat down around a table.
At this moment, Qin Keqing glanced at Zhen Qing and saw that there was no strange color on the beautiful woman's white face. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, are you done talking about everything?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'm done with my work. The food is ready."
Qin Keqing smiled sweetly and said softly: "I'm just waiting for the prince."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he sat down and hugged his daughter Jia Fu beside him.
While everyone was talking, plates of food began to be served.
At this moment, a nanny in bright clothes said with a bright smile: "Princess, Miss Lan and Miss Xi are here."
Everyone in the room turned their heads to look, and saw Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi, one wearing a scarlet skirt and the other wearing a blue skirt, quickly entering the hall.
Zhen Lan is already a concubine, and she gradually tends to be graceful and gorgeous in her clothes and appearance. However, after all, she is still young, her eyebrows are cold and even slightly mean, and she cannot support such gorgeous makeup.
With a sweet smile, Zhen Lan called out softly and said: "Sister, you are here."
Under Zhen Qing's slender eyebrows, her cold, rainbow-like eyes flickered, and she stared at Zhen Lan. Her beautiful eyes were as curved as those under her willow eyebrows, with a slightly moist and clear smile, and she said: "
Sister Lan, in a few days, my second uncle will arrive in the capital."
These are the two golden flowers of her Zhen family, and now they are a princess. Although she is a concubine, she is also the honor of a princess.
Of course, among all the sisters, she has the highest status. She is the Crown Princess now, and she will be the empress of the world in the future.
Women's desire to compare and show off exists at all times.
Zhen Lan sat down, and under her slender and curved willow eyebrows, her bright eyes were as bright as water, and she said softly: "Sister, is the prince's brother-in-law going to the palace to hold an enthronement ceremony?"
Zhen Qing smiled and said, "Well, I'll go to the palace the day after tomorrow to take care of this matter."
Under Zhen Lan's beautiful eyebrows, her long, narrow, clear eyes seemed to be gleaming a little, and she said, "Why is sister here looking for the prince?"
Zhen Qing nodded, smiled and said, "There is something I just told your prince."
The beauty said, rolling her eyes at the boy in the python suit, her heart filled with blame.
This bastard is now unwilling to help at all.
Everyone sat down and began to have dinner. At this moment, the tables were filled with plates of dishes, a dazzling array of colors, flavors and aromas.
At this moment, Jia Heng was holding his daughter gently and eating the food on the plate nearby.
"Daddy, I want to eat that." The little Lolita in her arms said in a soft, trembling voice.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Daddy will give it to you."
As he said that, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a vegetable ball, and put it in the little Loli's bowl.
The little loli snorted softly, enjoying the meal.
"Slow down, don't burn it." Qin Keqing on the side warned with a sweet smile on her face.
Here, Yinyin licked her lips, raised her rosy cheeks to Zhen Qing beside her, pointed at the vegetable balls that Jia Fu had just eaten, and said, "Mother, I want to eat that too."
"If mother can't reach it, let your godfather hold it for you." Zhen Qing nodded and said warmly.
Humph, they are both our own daughters, why should we favor one over the other?
After finishing the meal, Zhen Qing took her mother back to the Prince of Chu's Mansion without lingering, while her daughter Yinyin stayed at the Ningguo Mansion, playing with Jia Fu.
After everyone dispersed, Jia Heng also picked up Yin Yin. He smelled the sweet milky smell of the cute baby, chuckled lightly, and asked: "Yin Yin, do you want to be your father?"
After all, they are all our own daughters, so you can imagine the love in my heart.
Yinyin raised her pink and plump face and said in a cute and soft voice: "Think about it."
Jia Heng smiled and hugged his daughter, and said, "When my godfather is free, can I give you paper cranes?"
Qin Keqing, who was on the other side, sat beside her, holding her daughter Jia Fu in her arms, watching the interaction between the two with a smile, and feeling even more suspicious.
Until the evening, Jia Heng hugged Yin Yin to his grandma, his eyes were bright and clear, and he stared at Qin Keqing and said: "Ke Qing, it's getting late, let's go and have a rest together."
While the couple was talking, they left the hall, headed towards the wing, and sat down.
The maid brought foot-washing water and helped the two of them wash their feet.
Over here, Qin Keqing rested her green-haired head on Jia Heng's shoulder and said softly: "Husband, Yinglian, when did you accept it?"
Jia Heng said: "I'm busy with matters in Beijing now. Let's wait until we have time."
Xiangling is quite old.
"After my husband came back, I was not used to being at home all day long." Qin Keqing raised her jade face that looked like a hibiscus. Under her willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as moist as water and crystal clear.
Jia Heng said: "It hasn't been long since I came back. Maybe it's this attitude that makes you feel idle."
Qin Keqing's beautiful face was filled with concern, her white teeth bit her pink lips, and she asked: "Husband, is there something big going on in the court?"
Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "It's nothing. It will be fine after this period of time."
When Qin Keqing heard this, her eyebrows were as curved as crescent moons, her beautiful eyes were slightly moist, and she was worried, and said: "Husband..."
She has enjoyed wealth and honor for so many years. If the time of crisis really comes, she will just go with her husband.
Jia Heng gently took the beauty's shoulders and reached into the skirt of her skirt. The plumpness in his palms came out, and he smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't you still believe me?"
Qin Keqing's face turned red with embarrassment, she said "hmm" softly, and then said nothing else.
Now I know that bullying others should be okay.
…
…
In the divine capital city, Prince Wei's Mansion, in the study -
As the night gets darker, the lights in the wing are brightly lit, and the figure of the young man in python suit can be seen reflected in the hall.
King Chen Ran of Wei wore a simple robe and sat on a red lacquered pearwood chair in front of a bookshelf. His face, as white as jade, seemed to have a layer of frost that could not be melted away.
Prince Liang also sat down on the pearwood chair nearby, with the same unsightly look on his face.
Sitting below were Song Jing and Deng Wei, as well as several young generals with heroic and unfamiliar looks.
King Chen Ran of Wei, with a fair face and a solemn face, said: "The troops from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division are inspecting the city. Are the troops and horses in all places ready?"
When the moment came, even though King Chen Ran of Wei had done a lot of psychological preparation in his mind, he still had some worries.
Among them, a rough-faced general looked solemn and said: "Your Highness, all troops and horses are ready, and the palace gates are also responding."
King Wei Chen Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his fair face was as gloomy as iron, and he said: "Whether you can dominate the world depends on this one move!"
Song Jing frowned, feeling an inexplicable worry in his heart.
In this kind of thing, if you are not careful, you will end up with everyone being killed.
While several people were talking, a servant from outside came into the palace and said: "Your Highness, Guo's consort is here."
When King Wei heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He stood up and walked outside. An old man covered in black robes could be seen coming to the side room accompanied by two servants.
King Liang came closer and said, "I have met my father-in-law."
On the other side, the King of Wei, Chen Ran, also bowed, and a feeling of anticipation surged in his heart.
Based on his experience, he really felt that there was no way to start such a coup, but the person in front of him had been in office for two dynasties and had experienced a lot of such things.
While everyone was talking, Guo Shaonian was welcomed into the study and sat down.
Under his dark, thick eyebrows, Guo Shaonian's eyes were as deep as the water of a mysterious pond, and he said, "What's the situation in Beijing?"
Under his thick dark eyebrows, King Liang's eyes flashed and he said: "The palace has appointed King Chu as the East Palace, and the edict to confer the crown prince has been issued."
Guo Shaonian frowned and said, "This matter is difficult."
After thinking for a while, he said: "There may be an internal response in the direction of the palace gate. If we need to control the palace city in the future."
"It should be true, but all the civil and military officials were in front of the Hanyuan Palace that day. If you act like this alone, will you be criticized by thousands of people?" King Wei hesitated and said in a deep voice.
Guo Shaonian's face paused slightly, and he said loudly: "You can't think so. There are some civil and military officials who are aggrieved by His Highness. If His Highness does something thunderous, he may not be able to gain the support of some civil servants by shouting from a high position."
King Wei nodded and said: "The situation in Beijing is tense now, and King Chu is also on guard."
Deng Weidao said: "This time when the King of Chu enters the palace to be canonized, the person responsible for guarding the palace is the palace guard of the King of Chu's palace, who is also the current crown prince's sixth commander. They add up to a lot of troops."
Guo Shaonian pondered for a moment and said: "It turns out..."
There was a hint of viciousness on King Wei's face, and he said: "It was an ambush at the palace gate. King Chu cannot be allowed to enter the palace and accept the canonization of his father."
The whole city was sealed off with five city soldiers and horses. The guards of the two palaces and some of the dead soldiers accumulated by the King of Wei over the years participated in the siege. The feasibility of the plan was still considered.
Guo Shaonian shook his head and said: "That was the time when the King of Chu was most wary, but it was probably not easy to accomplish anything."
King Wei frowned, looked deeply, and asked: "What do you mean by uncle?"
Guo Shaonian said: "When the King of Chu enters the palace city, a grand ceremony is being held at that time. His Highness will use the name of Qing Junzi to respond to the palace city and control the situation."
King Wei frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said warmly: "At that time, the status has been decided, how can we still make a comeback?"
Guo Shaonian said: "The previous edict conferring the title of King Chu to the East Palace has been announced both at home and abroad. Isn't Your Highness planning this matter?"
Wei Wang Chen Ran's eyes were deep and he was silent for a moment.
Guo Shaonian said: "Don't stick to established laws."
Wei Wang Chen Ran looked firm and said in a deep voice: "Then I will follow my uncle's wish."
…
…
Time flew by in a hurry, and before you knew it, three days passed. In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the King of Chu entered the palace to attend the ceremony of establishing the East Palace.
On this day, it can be seen that the gods are beautiful. The white snow covering the blue bricks and black tiles melts, and the trickling snow water falls on the green bricks.
In winter, the sky is endless blue and clear, as if it were an extremely clear crystal glass, reflecting human figures.
Outside the palace gate, civil and military officials of various ranks were dressed in blue and purple, with a jade belt wrapped around their waists. They were lined up left and right. Teams of Jinyifu guards in splendid attire lined up on both sides of the street, holding an embroidered spring knife on their waists.
, looking alert and patrolling around.
Prince Chu's Mansion
A carriage with two light yellow curtains hanging down was waiting on the stone road paved with bluestone slabs in front of the palace. On the left and right were the palace guards with ceremonial guards. They were tall and strong, with resolute faces.
Beside several vermilion-painted beams, the guards of the Prince of Chu's palace were dressed in black and red satin brocade clothes. They had solemn faces and stood with swords in hand. They were alert and back and forth, and their eyes seemed to be filled with strands of cold and fierce light.
.
The King of Chu, Chen Qin, was supported by several eunuchs and got into a carriage with a high shaft. At this moment, the King of Chu's face was fair, and under his two sword-shaped eyebrows, his sharp eyes were filled with joy and excitement like an eagle.
As the ceremony officer sang a promise, one could see the driver of a carriage with its shaft raised high, raising a whip in his hand and urging the horses to move towards the palace gate.
Then, the guards of the Prince of Chu's palace on both sides, carrying flags and flags embroidered with black dragons, followed the carriage of the Prince of Chu in neat steps.
On the street leading to the arched palace gate of the Chu Palace, the guards in Jinyi on both sides had calm faces and were on guard with their swords.
Because Emperor Chongping was attacked in the Ancestral Temple, one can imagine the tense situation in Shenjing City.
Qiu Liang personally led a team of Tiqi from Jinyi Mansion, with a sheathed sword on his waist. Under his thick eyebrows, his eyes were sharp, catching the slightest movement on the street and patrolling for suspicious people.
Palace garden, Hanyuan Hall, inner study room——
Emperor Chongping was lying on a bed covered with soft mattresses. His cheeks were sunken and dark, and under his thin, loose eyebrows, there was a white cloth strip wrapped around him. It was clear that he could not see.
At this moment, Emperor Chongping was lying quietly on the bed, and his whole body seemed to be enveloped by a miserable aura of death.
"Has the prince entered the palace?" Emperor Chongping's voice was weak and hoarse, with insufficient energy.
"Your Majesty, the prince has entered the palace." Dai Quan came closer, his fair and beardless face was full of solemnity, he bowed and said.
Emperor Chongping waved his hand and said: "I will be carried to the front hall of Hanyuan Hall later."
"Your Majesty!" Dai Quan's fair face suddenly changed a little, with a worried look in his eyes, and he said urgently: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, how can you act rashly?"
Emperor Chongping coughed heavily and said in a clear voice: "Get ready to drive. I want to go over and watch the King of Chu accept the congratulations from all the officials."
The King of Chu's prestige is not enough, so he wants to go over and support the King of Chu. If the status of monarch and ministers is determined today, and then the King of Chu oversees the country, and all civil and military officials pay congratulations, then the situation will be settled.
Chen Qin actually came from a common family like him. When he came to the throne, he also had a shallow foundation and no one to support him.
At this moment, after Emperor Chongping chose his heir, he felt a bit of paternal and majestic love for King Chu.
Seeing Emperor Chongping's insistence, Dai Quan could not persuade him any more, so he ordered the internal eunuch to prepare a chariot to escort Emperor Chongping to the front hall of Hanyuan Hall.
At this moment, a long red carpet has been laid out from the palace gate to Hanyuan Hall, with palace maids and eunuchs standing on both sides.
Because along the way, King Chu's brows were deeply furrowed and his heart was full of worries. Therefore, it was not until he passed an arched Moon Palace Gate that King Chu relaxed a lot.
"Your Highness, Anshun Gate has arrived." Zhen Jue, riding on a maroon horse with a black mane, said.
King Chu said: "Don't be careless."
But the journey was almost uneventful.
A carriage with its shafts raised up slowly drove into the tall palace gate, accompanied by two groups of retinues behind it.
At this moment, in the white marble square in front of Hanyuan Hall, one can see a dark crowd of civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, holding ivory and jade sceptres, waiting quietly.
Accompanied by the sound of a whip, the civil and military officials present entered the palace under the supervision of the censor.
At this moment, Emperor Chongping was also supported by Dai Quan, sitting on a golden chair, his face was like light gold.
"I have seen you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." The civil and military ministers in the palace below, led by Li Zan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Gao Zhongping, the second assistant, looked towards the middle-aged emperor who was sitting on the soft mattress.
Their eyes were deep and they saluted in unison.
Emperor Chongping's face was fair, and his voice was old and somewhat frail, and he said: "Your Majesty, please be safe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The civil and military ministers below thanked him. One or two bold civil servants raised their eyes and peeked at the middle-aged emperor.
Your Majesty, this... is so miserable.
Emperor Chongping braced himself and said in a clear voice: "Dear gentlemen, since I came to the throne, I have ruled the world for twenty years. I have worked hard on state affairs and have never slackened off. Now I am plagued by hundreds of illnesses and it is difficult to manage the government. Now that I have established the crown prince,
The prince should oversee the country."
As he spoke, the coughing sound kept coming.
When the civil and military officials below saw this, they felt sighs and sighs in their hearts.
In fact, Emperor Chongping chose to meet with the civil and military ministers today in order to leave a good reputation in the future.
Emperor Chongping handed the bloody handkerchief to Dai Quan who was standing aside. His thin and sunken cheeks looked increasingly haggard.
"After careful consideration, I have decided to appoint the prince Chen Qin as the East Palace. The prince is deeply loved by me, has a strong temperament, and is worthy of a great responsibility. After that, the prince will supervise the country and handle the government affairs." Emperor Chongping said in a weak voice, and coughed heavily again.
, and said: "All the ministers in the cabinet should help you with all your heart, just as you would treat me."
Li Zan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, held an ivory jade wat in his hand and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to assist the East Palace."
Gao Zhongping was stunned for a moment, then he also held an ivory jade wat, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will definitely do my best to assist the East Palace."
Then, Qi Kun, Lu Jiang, and Lin Ruhai from the cabinet expressed their opinions one after another.
Because at this moment, Emperor Chongping had a sense of "entrusting an orphan", or in other words, after establishing the legitimacy of King Chu's succession in front of the ministers, he also endorsed the subsequent auxiliary affairs of the cabinet.
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, then asked in a hoarse voice: "Can Prince Wei enter the palace?"
Li Zan said: "Prince Wei took leave today and did not come."
Emperor Chongping frowned and said, "How can Ziyu be at home at such a critical time? Dai Quan sent someone to summon the Duke of Wei to the palace."
Although it is true, today is the day of paying tribute to the East Palace. How can I stay at home and not participate? Put on a frustrated look?
Among the cabinet ministers below, the cold light in Lu Jiang's eyes flashed away.
How could there be any room for that kid to interfere in such a big matter?
Lu Li, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, seemed to have a cold feeling on his elegant and fair face.
Now that Liaodong is at peace, the usefulness of Jia Heng's son has passed. At this time, the Holy Emperor summoned him to the palace, which really makes people suspicious.
It is said that Jia Heng has completed his historical mission, which is probably true.
On the other side, outside the magnificent palace, a large number of royal guards escorted the King of Chu's chariot into the palace garden.
In a solemn and solemn atmosphere, a carriage with high shafts gradually approached Hanyuan Hall amidst the sound of wheels running over the bluestone road.
"Prince, please dismount." A white-faced and beardless eunuch quickly approached, bowed, and said respectfully to the King of Chu.
King Chen Qin of Chu stepped on a horse stool brought by the inner prison and landed on the white marble square paved with blue bricks in front of the palace. He raised his eyes to look at the majestic Hanyuan Hall. For a moment, he felt a little inexplicable.
A light blush appeared on her fair cheeks.
Although I have been to the palace countless times, this is my first time as the prince, so I can't help but feel agitated.
