Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Mu Ruosong knelt down on his knees, put his hands on his mother's knees, and asked Fang to tie his hair up with a jade comb to prepare for the coronation ceremony.

The ancients were crowned at twenty, but there were also those who were crowned at the age of 12 earlier, so King Ding decided to hold the crown ceremony for the 17-year-old Mu Ruosong. Although this decision was sudden, it was not too abrupt.

Every time Fang combed it, tears fell drop by drop, dripping on Mu Ruosong's hands.After the coronation ceremony, her son was truly a man, and finally... grew up, able to support a family, marry a wife, and spread his branches and leaves.

Mu Ruzhi's eyes were also red, and she persuaded from the side: "Mother, today is a day of great joy."

Fang choked with sobs and said, "My son has grown up and is so outstanding. Mother has finally lived up to your father. It's just that my son has suffered so much. I have to work so hard at such a young age..."

Fang's heart ached for a while. Parents would rather their children be simple than use suffering to make their children mature quickly.

After Zhen Shizi died in battle, the mother was weak and the younger sister was young. Her son grew up almost instantly, and his little shoulders shouldered the responsibility that belonged to his father.Taking Zhen Shizi as an example, he is sensible, steady, hardworking, and capable, meeting all the standards of a grandson of the royal family.

From the age of seven or eight, Mu Ruosong no longer needs to be supervised by anyone, but spurs on herself, and works a hundred times harder, until... her mother can't bear to see it.

Mu Ruosong pinched his mother's leg with his hands, and said in a steady voice, "Mother, it's right to work hard and improve yourself. It's my responsibility and I have to bear it. I don't think it's hard."

"Son, mother is useless..." Fang was apologetic. If her husband didn't die, Wang Jue would belong to her son.now……

Mu Ruosong knew that although his mother had no intention of competing, she still held it in her heart, and comforted her, "Mother, I am not an ignorant dude. In the future, I will earn my title with my own hands. Mother, your good days are here back."

"Yeah." Fang smiled through tears, combed Mu Ruosong's hair, and said, "I know you want to enter the martial arts school, but I have delayed you for two years. If you still want...just go."

"Let's talk about that later." Mu Ruosong's expression was slightly condensed.He stopped going to the Wenzhi Academy two years ago. Most people would enter the Imperial College, but his family was in the army, so Mu Ruosong wanted to go to the martial arts school, go to the northwest like his father and grandfather, and gallop on the battlefield.But his mother, Fang Shi, disagreed and insisted that he study literature and become an official.I don't want my son to die in battle like his father did.

Mu Ruosong couldn't ignore his mother's thoughts.In this small family, he is the only man who holds up the house and takes care of his mother and sister, so he can't be in the second grade, he can't be willful, and it takes two years to come and go.

Now my mother let go...

However, he heard that he was summoned into the palace by Emperor Tianshou, and wanted him to be the attendant of King Changle, even though he himself was not willing to fall into the quagmire of the inner palace to serve others.But he understood that no matter how prominent the Prince Ding's Mansion is, the weight of a direct eldest grandson is not enough in front of a real dragon son. This is the majesty of the Tian family.

The clan, let alone resist the emperor's order, because the surname is Mu, how can they have the heart of disobedience?

But this matter has not been finalized yet, so Mu Ruosong didn't tell Fang, tied up her hair, and entered the ancestral hall of Prince Ding's Mansion with her mother.

All the people in the palace who could enter the ancestral hall had arrived, including his grandfather, aunt, and younger brothers.Even Aunt Chaoyang is on the list, but she doesn't have the surname Wang Ziguang.

Mu Ruosong greeted them one by one, and everyone was beaming.

King Ding said: "A Song, I have asked Qintian Supervisor to take a look. Today is a good day, suitable for crowning ceremony."

In the ancient crown ceremony, the earliest age for a man is 20, and the latest is [-] years old. The crown ceremony is the same as that of a woman, which means that a man can get married when he grows up, and he will participate in various activities as an adult in the family from then on.

Xian Shizi smiled and clapped his hands: "Nephew, you have grown up, Second Uncle congratulates you first."

Everyone also wished well.

Mu Ruosong's eyes were shining brightly, and he tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, his usual solemn face softened, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he solemnly thanked them one by one.

In the eyes of King Ding, who is in his fifties, although the eldest grandson Mu Ruosong tried his best to look "mature and prudent", he was still a teenager and a little immature.At least, it is still impossible to be calm between gains and losses.

But King Ding's eyes were full of smiles.Enough is enough. Compared with other youngsters of the same age, the eldest grandson is already extremely outstanding and will become a great weapon in the future.But Mu Xi, the youngest, can see that, and so can King Ding. Although Mu Ruosong is capable and talented, after all, he grew up in the palace and lacks the real wind and rain experience.

Now to give Mu Ruosong the crown ceremony, you should let the young eagle spread its wings, fight the wind and rain, gain more experience outside, go through a lot of things, use your own perseverance to overcome difficulties, survive setbacks and trials, and then shed the last fluff and grow strong Body comes with steel claws.

King Ding said gratifiedly: "A Song, I finally have an explanation to your father. Since you are the eldest grandson, I will crown you personally, and your aunt will be the praiser."

The crowning ceremony is generally held by the elders of the family according to the tradition to be recognized.Mu Ruosong is the eldest grandson, so the elders of the palace gathered together, and it was even more solemn for King Ding to crown him personally.

King Ding said again: "I have reported your coronation to Dazongzheng Temple, and the palace has personally bestowed a title on you, making you General Youqianniuwei, envoy of Ruzhou Defense, and enfeoffed as Duke of Runan County."

A man who looked like a servant beside him stepped forward to read out the imperial edict.

Mu Ruosong kowtowed to thank him.

The ceremony officially started, and King Ding crowned Mu Ruosong three times.

Fold the upper towel first, which means that you have the privilege of governing people from then on.

Ding Wang Yijia sang and wished: "On the auspicious day of the Lingmoon, I will start to add Yuanfu, abandon Eryou's young characters, and follow Er Chengde. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu."

Then Jiayuan Youguan said that he would serve in the military from now on.

King Ding Erjia sang and wished: "Auspicious moon and celestial days, Shen Erfu, respecting Er's dignity, Shu Shende. My eyebrows will live forever, and I will always be blessed by Hu Fu."

Finally, the juebian is added, indicating the right to participate in sacrifices from now on.

Ding Wang Sanjia sang and wished: "The year is right, the moon is the order. Xianjiaer is obedient. Brothers are here, so that they can become Jude, Huang Lao has no boundaries, and be celebrated by heaven."

After being crowned, she didn't wear these at ordinary times. Fang carefully put away all three sets of crown clothes and handed them over to her daughter-in-law for safekeeping.

King Ding personally put on Mu Ruosong's bun a delicate white jade hair crown for adult men.Pinned the hair crown with a hosta, and said with emotion: "This hair crown was specially made for your father when he was an adult."

Mu Ruosong loved his father's old things more, and saluted King Ding: "Thank you, grandfather."

"I'll give you the word Ziren, and I hope you will be as tough and upright as a pine tree, standing up to the sky." King Ding asked Mu Ruosong to kneel down in front of Zhen Shizi's tablet again, "Come! Offer sacrifices to your father and ancestors! Inherit the ambitions of your father and ancestors and not fall into the family." wind."

Mu Ruosong looked serious and solemn, worshiping his ancestors one by one, looking at his father's tablet, as if swearing: "Muruosong Mu Ziren, the seventh-generation grandson of the Great Ancestor, Shengde, Wenwu Emperor, swears here: to inherit the ambition of the father and ancestor, Don't fall into the family tradition." These ten words have always been his goal, and at this moment in this solemn and solemn place, he was solemnly raised, and he felt a sense of mission spontaneously.

……

After the ceremony, everyone gave Mu Ruosong gifts, and Mu Ruosong took them all, thanking them all, and everyone dispersed.

It was still the eldest concubine Yang Shi who said: "Ah Song, your cousin Suo Er also has a gift for you."

It's not good to leave Wang Ziguang alone, but after all, he is a foreigner, and he is not included in the rules of the ancestral hall of the palace.Mu Ruosong understood very well, so he went outside to meet Wang Ziguang.

Wang Ziguang saluted politely: "Big cousin, congratulations."

"Thank you."

Wang Ziguang took a few glances at his eldest cousin, he was really a beautiful man in Yushu Linfeng, handsome and heroic, with a special charm between youthful and mature.The figure is also good, narrow waist and long legs, tall and straight like bamboo...

This legendary big cousin is not only good-looking, but also has both civil and military skills, and he is motivated and hardworking. He is a well-developed young man with "morality, intelligence, physique and beauty" in ancient feudalism.

It's a pity that Xiao Xianrou is going to enter the palace.

Wang Ziguang is a man of color control, so he couldn't help leaning forward and saying: "Big cousin, do you really want to enter the palace to be the servant of King Changle?" He, a palace scumbag, knows that there is an undercurrent in the palace now. swirl.

Mu Ruosong was stunned: "How do you know?"

He also inadvertently found out about this, before King Ding had time to discuss it with him, even his mother didn't know about it.

Wang Ziguang's eyes widened: "Cousin and cousin all know...uh..." Could it be that... fourth cousin's gossip should not be listened to?

Mu Ruosong frowned: "Who said that?"

Very majestic, Wang Ziguang was a little too scared to speak.

Mu Ruosong loosened his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "I can guess who it is, the fourth child... Forget it, don't spread this gossip, let alone let grandfather know. Alright, you go to class."

"Okay," Wang Ziguang felt that this big cousin is actually quite nice, so he said with a smile, "Don't worry, big cousin, I heard from my mother that Changle Wang is a good person, and he likes food, and people who like food love food." Life should be easy to get along with, the most important thing is... you have a good taste." With an envious tone and expression on his face, he tried to make the big cousin feel better.

Mu Ruosong put on a comforted and relaxed expression, watched Wang Ziguang walk away, and entered the Chui Training Hall with a complicated mood.

King Ding has already moved to the Chui Training Hall, which is the main hall where the family discusses important matters, and it is not commonly used for important matters.Prince Xian and Princess Chaoyang are also there.King Ding asked Mu Ruosong to sit down, saying that from then on in Prince Ding's mansion, he had Mu Ruosong's right to speak no matter how big or small it was.

He treated Mu Ruosong as an adult, looked directly at him gently and said, "A Song, the fourth lady of Qingyang Houxie's mansion is beautiful in appearance, pure in quality and blue in heart, and has a virtuous name at a young age, so she is a good match. You If there is no objection, I will invite a matchmaker to come to Xie's mansion to propose marriage."

Mu Ruosong's mother had mentioned this to him, so he wasn't surprised, and said: "The parents ordered and the matchmaker said, and the father is not around. Everything depends on the grandfather and mother." He tried very hard not to show embarrassment. But the ears were still red.

"Your mother agrees, just wait for you to nod, and then hand over your life jade to me as a betrothal token."

Mu Ruosong sullenly nodded slightly.It made Xian Shizi and Chaoyang laugh.It made Mu Ruosong's ears turn red, but his face was still trying to be calm, so that no one could see that he was shy.He himself didn't know that at this age, his youthful outline had not faded away, no matter how hard he tried to stretch his face, he still had a sense of pretending to be an adult, which made people laugh even more.

"Then I will make a decision." King Ding said again, "There is one more thing that needs to be discussed with you."

"Grandpa, please tell me." Mu Ruosong said, but he knew in his heart that it was about entering the palace.

King Ding motioned for Mr. Xian to explain to Mu Ruosong that Mr. Xian had nothing to do with this matter until Mr. Xian said it.

Prince Xian nodded, introduced the details of the background, and said: "The king of Changle came out of the Leng Palace. It is also necessary for the palace to choose a teacher for him, and to choose a few attendants. It's just that your majesty ordered you, but Father has already rejected, we never intend to send you into the palace."

Mu Ruosong frowned slightly, feeling that there was something wrong with this.

Xian Shizi went on to analyze: "The king of Changle is already sixteen, and his surname is Xi Jingjing. Ashan is a little younger, and his temper is not suitable. I want to send Erlang. Abo has a modest personality, quiet and indifferent, and he is a good candidate."
