Since the Son of Chengde has transferred all the seeds of the family back to the capital, the intention is obvious, and no one can question the decision of the Son of Chengde in the matter of establishing the prince.

That is, whoever is who is whom.

This point, not only the current Li Xin and the Seventh Prince have no way to change it, but no one in the capital, including Pei Jinzhong Xuantong, has no way to put a beak.

That's why Li Xin said that he could only wait.

The wait is always long, and in the past three days, the reactions of the four princes have been different.

The eldest prince was still lifeless, staying in the palace of the king of Qin and did not come out, and the government and the opposition thought that the prince had given up on taking the heir.

Because of the impeachment of the minister, the third prince was still grounded in the palace of King Zhao at this time, so he did not move.

In the whole capital, the four princes are the busiest, running back and forth among many cabinet ministers all day long, in fact, at this time, many court bosses are not willing to see him, but they are afraid of offending this prince who may ascend the throne, and many can only be sick and not seen.

On the side of the Seven Princes, it cannot be said that there is no action, under Li Xin's staff, the Seven Princes have recently sent a lot of Zhurong wine to the forbidden army, because the disinfection effect of this Zhurong wine is very good, and the military department is no longer presided over by the four princes, so these spirits were sent into the forbidden army smoothly.

There is no suspicion that the prince colluded with the forbidden army.

Because sending toasts for disinfection to the armies was originally a task assigned by the Son of Heaven to the Seven Princes, and the Seven Princes were only honoring the emperor's orders at this time.

In a blink of an eye, it came to the first day of October in the eighteenth year of Chengde.

According to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, the first day, the tenth and twentieth days of each month are a grand court meeting where hundreds of officials gather, presided over by the emperor himself, and officials above the fifth grade in Beijing must be present to discuss state affairs.

Because of the serious injury of the Son of Chengde, he has been absent from three court meetings.

The grand court meeting on the first day of October can be said to be the most critical grand court meeting of the Chengde Dynasty.

Because in this court meeting, the son of today will decide the candidate for the East Palace

This is the news released by the great eunuch Chen Ju himself three days ago, and there will be no mistake.

It's time to build a country

On the first day of October, the weather was already very cold.

But before dawn, at the gate of Yongle Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials were already standing.

This time, they will witness the birth of the prince of the Chengde Dynasty, and no one dares to be absent.

The four princes also arrived early in the morning, and they stood at the front of the ministers, all dressed in the prince's crown court clothes, and they were extremely solemn.

Li Xin also stood in the queue of military attachés.

Originally, he, the right general from the fifth grade, was not qualified to participate in the court meeting, but Li Xin went to meet Ye Lan, the Zhonglang general of the fifth grade, and Ye Lan happened to be sick, so Li Xin could only replace Zhonglang to participate in the court meeting.

One by one, the civil and military ministers were swinging in the cold wind.

Finally, the sun is rising, and the sun shines obliquely at the gate of Yongle Palace, and then the morning bell in the palace rings, and the gate of Changle Palace is slowly pushed open by several wrestlers.

The unique voice of the great eunuch Chen Ju came out from the Changle Palace.

"Hundred Officials Enter the Palace"

The four princes took the lead in walking into the Changle Palace, and then the ministers of the three provinces followed, and the civil and military officials were divided into about one hundred officials, the civil officials were on the left, and the military attache was on the right, and Yuguan entered the main hall of Changle Palace.

Li Xinfu was the last military attaché and followed into the Changle Palace.

After the hundred officials stepped into the palace gate, the great eunuch Chen Ju was expressionless.

On the dragon chair, there sat a heavenly son with the same expressionless face.

At this time, this son of heaven obviously made people put on some makeup, and there was more blood on his face, but his face was a little gloomy, and it looked chilling.

The Son of Heaven has not looked at the court for more than a month

Now the Son of Heaven of Chengde sat on the dragon chair on the imperial step again, and the ministers headed by the four princes immediately knelt on the ground, respectfully spoke, and shouted long live.

"Your Majesty."

"Long live my emperor"

Li Xin also knelt down.

In private, it may be possible not to kneel to the Son of Heaven, but in this kind of court, if you do not kneel to the Son of Heaven, it is a capital crime.

The Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair and squinted slightly at the ministers kneeling under His Majesty.

He has been in power for 19 years, and he has seen this kind of scene I don't know how many times, but at this time, he sat on the "stage", looking at these officials kneeling "under the stage", and he had a special feeling in his heart.

He hadn't seen this scene too many times.

Chengde Tianzi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said in a dumb voice: "Zhuqing, just settle down." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the officials thanked the Holy Grace and got up from the ground.

A smile appeared on the Son of Heaven's face, and he said: "I haven't been to the court for more than a month, and all of you are probably a little scared in your heart, but now that I am better, you can rest assured." ”

The civil and military officials all bent down, and their voices were solemn.

"Your Majesty's dragon health is a blessing for the Great Jin."

Li Xin stood in the last row, he could only learn to bend down and salute like the military attache in front of him, as for those slogans, he didn't know how these officials did it so neatly, anyway, he couldn't shout, he could only mix in the crowd and make up the numbers.

The Son of Heaven lowered his eyelids and said indifferently: "In the nineteenth year of my reign, Zhu Qing has played many times, asking me to set up the crown prince of the East Palace, and set up the foundation of the country early. ”

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven took a deep breath and sighed: "Recently, I often feel that I am lacking in thoughts, after all, I am old, for the sake of the temple and the foundation of the ancestors, I will set the crown prince here today." ”

"Let's learn from you."

The civil and military officials knelt on the ground again and said in unison: "Your Majesty is in good health and has a long life." ”

These civil officials are so strange, when the Son of Heaven did not establish a prince, they opened their mouths to the country, closed their ancestors, and some people had to hit the pillar to die, and now the Son of Heaven in Chengde took the initiative to establish a prince, and they wanted to say that the Son of Heaven was in good health.

The hypocrisy in the world is mostly in officialdom and in temples.

The Son of Heaven coughed, shook his head and said, "Who in the world can live forever, although I am the Son of Heaven, I am also a mortal. ”

"Zhu Qing is right, the prince is the foundation of the country, and it is better to stand early."

The Son of Heaven smiled: "In this way, if I die one day, you will not behave at a loss." ”

The civil and military officials all knelt on the ground in a hurry.

"The ministers would never dare to have such thoughts."

The Son of Heaven smiled indifferently and waved his hand: "Chen Ju, read the holy decree." ”

The great eunuch Chen Ju held a roll of apricot yellow holy decree in both hands, and took two steps forward respectfully.

All the emperor's decrees must go through the process in the three provinces before they have legal effect, otherwise they can only be issued by the emperor without authorization.

Officials have the right to refuse.

In the life of an emperor, there is only one holy decree that does not need to go through the three provinces, and he can decide by himself.

This is the decree of the Founding Prince.

Chen Ju held the holy decree in both hands, respectfully.

"The edict said."

"Since the enthronement of the edict, all the heavy affairs of the military state, the employment of people and the administration, have not been tireless, and they dare not be at ease. Xu Yinghong continued, dreamed of being conscientious all night, looking up to the ancestor Mo Lie Zhao, entrusted to the heavy, undertaking the celebration of the line, and ending in Yuanliang. Emperor Taishang's eldest son, Ji Yu, is the head of the clan, to which the will of heaven belongs, and hereby abide by the first edict, carry the ceremony, bow down to public opinion, and hereby tell heaven and earth, the temple, and the community, and grant the book treasure, and establish himself as the crown prince, and the east palace is in the east palace, with the unity of ten thousand years, and the heart of the four seas. ”

"I have been sick recently, and I can't think about it for a long time, so I hereby order the crown prince to hold the seal and ascend to the palace, divide the government, and raise the army and supervise the country. Everything that the hundred divisions played, all the crown prince decided. ”

"The edict is ordered to the world, and the salty envoy hears it."

As soon as this edict was issued, everyone in Changle Palace, including the four princes, was stunned
