Unparalleled Concubine

Because of being impeached by the minister, the third prince was still grounded in Zhao Wang's mansion, so he didn't move.

In the entire capital, the fourth prince was the busiest, running back and forth among the cabinet ministers all day long. In fact, at this time, many bigwigs in the court were unwilling to see him, but they were afraid of offending this powerful man. It is possible that many of the princes who have ascended the throne can only disappear because of their illness.

On the side of the seventh prince, it cannot be said that he did nothing. Under the staff of Li Xin, the seventh prince recently sent a lot of Zhurong wine to the imperial army, because this kind of Zhurong wine has a good disinfection effect, and the Ministry of War does not Then the fourth prince presided over it, so the spirits were sent to the imperial army smoothly.

There is no suspicion of the prince colluding with the Imperial Army.

Because sending Zhu Rongjiu for disinfection to each army was originally the task assigned by the Chengde Emperor to the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince was only honoring the emperor's orders at this time.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the first day of October in Chengde's 18th year.

According to the rules of the Jin court, every first, tenth and twentieth day of the month is a grand court meeting where hundreds of officials gather. The emperor personally presides over it. Officials above the fifth rank in Beijing must be present to discuss state affairs.

Because of the serious injury of Emperor Chengde, he has missed three court meetings.

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

Because in this court meeting, today's day will determine the candidate for the East Palace!

This is the news that the eunuch Chen Ju personally released three days ago, and there is absolutely no mistake.

It's time to establish a country!

....................................

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

But before dawn, the gate of Yongle Palace was full of civil and military officials.

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. They stood at the front of the group of officials, and they were all dressed in princely royal uniforms, extremely solemn.

Li Xin also stood in the queue of military officers.

Originally, he, a right-handed general from the fifth rank, was not qualified to participate in the Great Court Meeting, but Li Xin went to see the fifth-rank Zhonglang general Ye Lin, and Ye Lin happened to be sick, so he had to be replaced by Li Xin Zhonglang took Ye Lin to the meeting.

All civil and military officials swayed in the cold wind.

Finally, the sun was rising, and the sun slanted on the gate of Yongle Palace, and then the morning bell in the palace rang, and the gate of Changle Palace was slowly pushed open by several warriors.

The eunuch Chen Ju's unique voice came from Changle Palace.

"Hundreds of officials enter the palace—"

The four princes walked into the Changle Palace first, followed by the ministers of the three provinces. The civil and military officials were divided into left and right, the civil officials were on the left, and the military officials were on the right. They filed into the main hall of the Changle Palace.

Li Xinzhu was the last military attache, and walked into the Changle Palace.

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

On the dragon chair, sat an equally expressionless emperor.

At this time, the emperor had obviously been dressed up, and there was some blood on his face, but his complexion was a little gloomy, which made people shudder.

The emperor has not seen the court for more than a month!

Now the emperor of Chengde sat on the dragon chair on the imperial steps again, and the ministers headed by the four princes immediately knelt down on the ground, respectfully verbal, and shouted long live.

"I'll wait to meet your Majesty."

"Longevity, my emperor—"

Li Xin also knelt down.

In private, it may be possible not to kneel to the emperor, but in this kind of grand meeting, if you do not kneel to the emperor, it is a capital offense.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the emperor squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at the officials kneeling under his majesty.

In his 19th year of Yujiyi, he has seen this kind of scene countless times, but at this moment he is sitting on the "stage" and looking at these officials kneeling "off the stage", he feels a special feeling in his heart.

He hadn't seen this scene too many times.

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes slightly, then said in a hoarse voice: "Zhu Qing, please be at peace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the officials kowtowed for their grace and got up from the ground.

The Son of Heaven showed a smile on his face, and said: "I haven't been to the court for more than a month, and all the ministers are probably a little scared. Now that I am in better health, you can rest assured."

All civil and military officials bowed their bodies and their voices were solemn.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy and healthy, which is the blessing of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Standing in the last row, Li Xin could only imitate the appearance of the military officer in front of him and bow down to salute. As for those slogans, he didn't know how these officials managed to do them so neatly. The crowd is filled with indiscriminate use.

The emperor lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "In the 19th year of the first year of my reign, the ministers repeatedly asked me to appoint the crown prince of the East Palace and establish the country early. Physically healthy, it has been delayed until today."

Speaking of this, the emperor took a deep breath and sighed: "Recently, I often feel lack of spirituality. After all, I am getting old. For the sake of the ancestral temple and the foundation of the ancestors, I will appoint the crown prince here today."

"Let me learn from you."

All civil and military officials knelt on the ground again and said in unison: "Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy and long-lasting."

These civil servants are so strange. When the emperor did not establish a reserve, they talked about the country, but kept silent about the ancestors.

Most of the hypocrisy in the world is in the officialdom and in the temple.

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

"Zhuqing is right, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and it will be good to establish it early."

The emperor chuckled: "In this way, when I die one day, you won't behave in a panic."

All civil and military officials hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"I dare not have such an idea."

The emperor smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "Chen Ju, read out the imperial decree."

The eunuch Chen Ju held a roll of apricot-yellow imperial edict in both hands, and stepped forward respectfully.

All the emperor's imperial decrees will only have legal effect after the three provinces have gone through the process, otherwise they can only be issued by the emperor without authorization.

Zhongzhi, officials have the right to refuse.

In an emperor's lifetime, there is only one imperial decree that can be decided by himself without going through three provinces.
