In Zhu Houcong's short ten-year life, there were very few things that made him lose control of his emotions.As far as he could remember, he was the only heir to Xing Wangfu, his parents loved him, his sisters were in harmony, except for the death of his father and his being tied up some time ago, it can be said that everything went smoothly.

But this time was different, as if he felt something in the dark, Zhu Houcong trembled slightly, whether it was excitement or fear, he couldn't even take a step forward.

At this moment, a cold hand rested on his shoulder, Zhu Houcong turned to look, and saw the female Taoist priest who promised himself that she would always be by her side looked at him with a smile, parted her thin lips, and said to herself: " Go ahead, it's yours."

Zhu Houcong regained his senses all of a sudden, quietly asked his servants to serve him and put on his fur clothes, and walked step by step to the servant who delivered the decree.

According to the rules, the servant came in person on behalf of the emperor. As a vassal king, he was supposed to kneel down to accept the order, but he was supported by the other party just as he was about to bend his knees.

The eunuch delivering the decree was so frightened that he dared to make Zhu Houcong kneel. Now the whole capital is discussing what kind of person the new emperor is and when he will enter the capital.He was lucky in his life to be able to show his face before the imperial envoy.Then there was a scene that made people dumbfounded. The edict-delivering servant of the ceremonial supervisor, holding the imperial edict of a first-grade jade scroll, actually bowed to the recipient.

After the ceremony, the eunuch opened the imperial decree and read aloud: "According to the decree of the Empress Dowager, Xing Wang Zhu Houcong, be respectful, filial, sincere and simple, have a good character, follow the ancestral system, and inherit the throne of the emperor." Then he bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty , The imperial envoy who will pick you up is already on the way, but the servant is in a hurry for six hundred miles, and I specially tell you first, what the Queen Mother means is to let you know what to expect."

Zhu Houcong could no longer hear anything. Even though he knew that he hadn't officially ascended the throne yet, and the servant's voice was against the rules, he couldn't resist.His heart was beating fast, and his blood seemed to be burning. He knew that he was the blood of Tai and Zu, and had an innate desire for power. Just as Jing Hua said, it belonged to him, and it has always been!

Exhausting all his strength, Zhu Houcong forced himself to calm down, ordered his servants to entertain him, and went back to discuss with his mother.

Just succeeded Xingwang and became the emperor!The whole Anlu is boiling!

All the officials, big and small, who the vassal lord has been avoiding in normal times, all came to visit. Even the businessmen from Huguang all sharpened their heads and wanted to give gifts to the palace.But at this time, the gates of Prince Xing's Mansion were closed, and even a team was transferred from the inspection department to patrol day and night.

To be honest, Jiang Shi was also confused when she heard the news, she even thought it was someone outrageous and playing a joke on the palace.Indeed, the emperor issued an edict a while ago, ordering Zhu Houcong to shorten the mourning time for his father and inherit the title of King Xing.But they all thought it was because the old prince hadn't been buried for too long, and the emperor did it out of compensation.Anlu is far away from Beijing, and communication was underdeveloped in ancient times. They only knew that the emperor seemed to have fallen into the water a while ago, and they didn't know the rest.

Now someone came to tell her that her son was going to be emperor?Despite the initial excitement, Jiang gradually became worried.Her father is the commander of the army and horses in Beijing, and he knows the complexity of the situation in Beijing and China. They built the palace without any foundation and no connections.Xing'er went to the Forbidden City alone, what if something happened.

She couldn't tell her son about these concerns, because she knew that Zhu Houcong was always arrogant and could not bear the slightest grievance, and if he was not careful, he might go astray.After thinking and thinking, she called Li Chengfeng to her side.

Li Chengfeng is also very busy at this time, without him, the deeds of his prophecy of the throne have been narrated to the two sisters, Chunying and Chunyin, by Lu Bing, a small speaker.Chunying is fine, she is always considerate and quiet, not to mention that Li Chengfeng has treated her illnesses, in her eyes she is too much like a half-immortal.Zhu Chunyin was about to roll over and ask for the scene to reappear, and asked Li Chengfeng over and over again.Li Chengfeng was made into a big head by her, if he knew it, he wouldn't pretend to be like this in front of everyone!

Hearing Wang Taifei looking for him, he immediately rushed to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Jiang also heard about him being entangled by Chun Yin, and couldn't help laughing when she saw how embarrassed he was.Li Chengfeng looked at Concubine Wang sadly. Didn't he also work for Xing Wang's mansion.Jiang hurriedly tried to be serious, and said seriously: "Recently, I have worked hard, and I also heard that you are so good at predicting things. Thanks to you, I was able to stabilize that day."

Li Chengfeng shook his head: "My lord is young and old, his fate is fixed in the sky, what merits does the poor have, don't let the concubine ruin the poor."

The more humble he was, the more Jiang felt that he was capable. Recalling his favor to the palace, Jiang solemnly said: "I have something to trouble the Taoist priest, please agree."

Li Chengfeng understood it, but he still said: "Don't worry about the concubine's orders, Jinghua will do her best."

Sighing, Mrs. Jiang said: "According to what the edict passed on to Huangmen, the imperial envoys will arrive in Anlu in a few days, and then Xing'er will go with them. Naturally, I, the princess, can't go with me, so please You follow, protect my son all the way."

Li Chengfeng frowned: "My lord is kind to me, I am a poor man and I should promise, but going to Beijing has a lot to do with it, I am an idle Taoist, or a girl, how can I follow?"

"The Taoist priest doesn't need to worry about this matter, just let me handle it completely." Concubine Jiang vowed.

Seeing what she said, Li Chengfeng naturally agreed, and the two discussed the welcoming emissary again, and he didn't leave until it was getting late.

At this time, Zhu Houcong was practicing etiquette under the guidance of Yuan Zonggao, trying to see the courtiers without showing timidity.

……

At the post station outside Anlu Prefecture, Gu Dayong was asking Yi Cheng, the highest officer in the post station, with an irritable face. "What? As Anlu Yicheng, you are an official anyway, not to mention that you are so close to the palace, you don't even know what King Xing likes?"

Yicheng was so frightened that the two groups fought. This is a big man who controls the West Factory. Over the years, he has specially led the servants in the West Factory, colluding with local gangsters and extorting money everywhere.Now that he is standing in front of him alive, and he is still very dissatisfied with him, Yicheng feels like he is going to pass out!

Mao Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't see it, and snorted coldly: "Eunuch Gu, he is an official of the court, only the emperor and officials of the Ministry of punishment can interrogate him, what are you doing!"

Gu Da smiled with a smile on his face: "Mr. Mao was just joking, our family is just inquiring about the new emperor's preferences, so as to ensure that everything will be safe on the road, and to share the worries of the emperor. This is the nature of us servants." It’s not like you guys, who just talk about it every day.”

"It's just helping a villain, a moth of the country, and even arrogantly arrogant, it's a big joke in the world!"

"You..." Just as Gu Dayong was about to get angry, Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, came out to smooth things over, "Don't worry, you two, the emperor hasn't seen you yet, you two started arguing first, and the new emperor will laugh at that time, it's a fool What's it like?"

Gu Dayong, the Empress Dowager Zhang behind Shou Ning Hou, was still very afraid, so she kept her mouth shut.I hated secretly in my heart, it really is that people are kind and deceived by others, if the first emperor was alive, how would these nerds dare to talk to him like this, so they made up their minds to wrap up the new emperor's thighs.

Zhang Heling turned his head and said to Liang Chu, a scholar who had been watching the excitement, and Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Ding, who was pretending to be dead, and said, "I think what Eunuch Gu said makes sense. When we first meet Your Majesty, we should always show everyone's sincerity. You Let's say yes."

Liang Chu laughed and said: "Shou Ninghou is right, then you will be fully responsible. I am afraid that my old bones will not be able to move, so I should make room for you young people."

Dingguo Gong Xu Guangzuo also nodded naively, with the look of "I'm a rough person and I don't know anything".

Mao Cheng said to Zhang Heling with an upright face: "For those of us who are courtiers, to do our job well and be worthy of the country and the people is the greatest sincerity to His Majesty."

Zhang Heling was stunned by this combination of old foxes, iron fools, and nerds, and was so choked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Gu Dayong sneered to himself, rolled his eyes twice, thinking about it.

Early in the morning of the second day, when Zhang Heling got up, he heard the guards report that before dawn, Gu Dayong and Eunuch Gu had already gone to Xingwang's mansion alone, saying that he was an eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies and should scout the way for all the adults in advance.

Zhang Heling knew in his heart that he wanted to show his loyalty in advance again, but it was just a common trick used by the late emperor, and secretly hated himself for not doing the same.

Gu Dayong rode his horse and whipped his whip, and galloped proudly to King Xing's mansion, thinking that this was not his first achievement, but he was dumbfounded when he first arrived. The 15-year-old new emperor refused to meet him, and he was left out...
