Canghuan Seven Palaces

All the officials were watching the ceremony, and the demeanor of the new crown prince that day left an indelible deep impression on the hearts of all the officials.

On dozens of steps, Si Cangqing, dressed in the prince's dragon robe and a crown, walked slowly past the officials with steady steps and walked towards the Temple of Heaven.

On the Temple of Heaven, today's emperor is already waiting there.

When Si Cangqing came to the front, the emperor raised the jade handle according to the royal sacrificial ceremony, scattered incense ash and sky water on the forehead of the other party, and then lit the incense to worship God.

At this time, all the officials knelt down to worship, shouting in their mouths: "God bless the heavens, the prosperous world will be safe forever! Long live my emperor, long live long live, and His Royal Highness the crown prince!"

After the ceremony, Si Cang Juetian and Si Cangqing stood on the top of the towering Temple of Heaven, looked down at the courtiers kneeling on both sides, and said in a passionate voice: "Today, Si Cangqing, the little prince of my Canghuan Kingdom, is here to offer sacrifices to heaven." Pray for blessings, from now on, he will be the supreme Crown Prince of the Canghuan Kingdom. Taking advantage of this good time, I will announce to the world that since I was plagued by illness and lack of strength, the Crown Prince is successful in learning, has a tenacious temperament, and is diligent in political affairs. , the prince will supervise the country on behalf of heaven, and all affairs in the court will be handled by the prince! The Ministry of Households drafts an edict and announces it to the world!"

After the imperial decree, all the officials were stunned. Although His Highness the Crown Prince broke the ancestral seal of the red lotus, they all knew the emperor's love and reliance on the Crown Prince. The matter of imperial power has never happened.For a moment, the officials didn't know how to respond, and they all cast complicated eyes on Si Cangqing who was standing tall.

That person, like a pine tree, was like a bamboo, and the bead moving lightly in the wind blocked everyone's sight, making it difficult to see what kind of expression he had.

The huge Temple of Heaven was silent.

Si Cang Juetian frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with the reaction of the officials, and when he was about to speak again, he heard a cold voice beside him suddenly: "I will definitely not disgrace my father's expectations."

Si Cang Juetian tilted his head slightly, looked at Si Cangqing, but saw that the other party had already turned to look at the officials below, "Today, my palace has been ordered by Tianjing to act as the supervisor of the country, and I feel terrified in my heart. I was the prince at first, The superiors do not want to insult the heavenly honor, and the inferiors do not wish to lose the virtue of the people. You are important ministers in the court, serve the emperor above, and care for the people below. I hope that you will observe the affairs of the court in the future, abide by your duties, and use civil and military only for your own use. My lord repays loyalty, cares about the people's livelihood and repays benevolence, and joins us in the prosperity of the world!"

Although Si Cangqing's words were terrified, his expression was neither humble nor fearful from beginning to end, his tone was cold, his cold and majestic voice was obviously not loud, but it penetrated the audience and echoed for a long time.

Hearing Si Cangqing's words for the first time, all the officials were shocked, looking up at the white figure above the Temple of Heaven, the invisible aura emanating from his body made people feel a little surrender.

All I heard was that all the ministers shouted in unison: "My Emperor is wise, His Highness the Crown Prince is wise, and we will do our best to assist His Highness the Crown Prince, to repay loyalty to our lord, to repay benevolence by caring for the people's livelihood, and to join us in the prosperity of the world!" "

Even if there were some people who wanted to oppose it, they didn't dare to take any action under this powerful force.

Looking at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, Si Cang Juetian couldn't help sighing secretly: This child is really a born emperor!Can't help being extremely relieved, Si Cang Juetian said to the ministers with a joyful expression: "My family, please, after tomorrow, if there are no special circumstances, I will no longer visit the morning court in person, and report all political affairs directly to the crown prince."

While speaking, in front of the ministers, he handed over the jade seal representing the throne to Si Cangqing.Everyone saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts, and they all understood that this move was almost the same as abdicating. If they wanted to set up a crown prince, it was just a buffer. Maybe it won't be long before this world will change hands!

The Prince Sacrifice Ceremony of the Holy Emperor of the Canghuan Kingdom is unprecedented in its history and has no successor, and it has been lamented and said by later generations.

……

East Palace, in the study.

Si Cangqing was dressed in casual clothes, reclining lazily on the soft chair, behind her was Feng Lan who followed her everywhere.Both of them looked at the young man kneeling on one knee. This man was about 27 or [-] years old, with gentle facial features. His face was serious at this moment, but he heard him bow his head and say in a deep voice:

"The fourteenth personal guard, Mo Zhiyan, the current servant of the Ministry of punishment, sees the master."

"Let's get up," Si Cangqing took the teacup from Feng Lan, took a sip of the tea, and then asked, "Have you checked the Minister of Punishment carefully?"

Minister of the Ministry of Justice is an important position, how can it be controlled by the minions of the Qin family.

Mo Zhiyan stood aside politely, and replied in a low voice: "Back to the master, everything has been investigated." Record it here."

Si Cangqing signaled Feng Lan to take the secret book, and was not in a hurry to look at it, but said: "Well, the Qin family's power, I will not touch him for the time being, you wait for the good students to monitor, don't startle the snake."

"Yes, master."

After a few days of understanding, Si Cangqing has already understood that the Qin family is mainly controlled by that Qin Guozhang and his uncle Qin Gaoli, and these two are old and cunning, difficult to control, as for the Minister of the Ministry of War who holds a heavy army, it is difficult Daqi only knows how a fox can pretend to be a tiger and act bravely.

This time he summoned his personal guards mainly because of another matter, so Si Cangqing said: "It is said that you have a good relationship with Liu Yi, Minister of the Household Department?"

"Indeed," Mo Zhiyan replied, "Liu Yi has never been too personal with the ministers of the court, and his subordinates have also spent a lot of time. Apart from official business, they can also have acquaintances." It's just this friendship. Fortunately, all the ministers knew that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice had a gentle temperament, liked to make friends, and had a good relationship with everyone, so no one paid special attention to the behavior of his nominal minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Si Cangqing nodded thoughtfully. After returning to the capital, he realized that Liu Yi, who had a high reputation among young officials, was quite different from what he had expected. , as an official and fair, although he is highly sought after, he is careful in his actions and does not associate too much with others, so as not to form cronies with others.For this reason, Liu Yi is even more sought after by those innovative officials.

After thinking about it for a while, Si Cangqing said to Mo Zhiyan: "Fourteen, find an opportunity for me to meet Liu Yi alone."

"Yes, master."

"Get back!" Si Cangqing waved his hand, and Mo Zhiyan left without a sound.

◇Cang ◇ Huan ◇ Seven ◇ Palace ◇

"What's wrong?" Seeing Feng Lan's strange expression, Si Cangqing asked with a little concern in his voice.

Feng Lan, who immediately recovered, smiled slightly, stared at Si Cangqing's cold eyes, and said slowly: "Feng Lan saw Shisi just now, it's just a little feeling."

Si Cangqing raised his eyebrows, waiting for the other party to continue.Sure enough, Feng Lan said with a little emotion: "When the shadow guard was teaching, there was very little contact between the guards, and only Shishi had a close relationship with me and had a very good relationship."

The training of shadow guards is very dangerous and terrifying.It may be because Feng Lan is the youngest among the personal guards, so Shisi always takes care of him like a big brother. Among them, he was rescued by the other party several times, and because of this, he and Shishi have a deep relationship friendship.

Hearing this, Si Cangqing thought for a while, and said, "If you want to get together with him, you can arrange it yourself." As for the secrecy, he believed that Feng Lan could do it well.

Si Cangqing's indistinct concern made Feng Lan laugh, "Thank you, master, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can know that he is fine now." Fourteen is now an official of the court, so he is better than ordinary shadow guards. Much safer.

"En." Si Cangqing didn't say any more, just casually picked up the secret folder that Fourteen left just now and looked through it.

Feng Lan stood beside Si Cangqing, watching him tenderly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.Since leaving Jiangdong Zhaoyang City, his original sadness has subsided a lot. He was more and more fond of smiling when he was silent and cautious before, and he also clearly felt that after that, Si Cangqing always treated him with imperceptible care. Let him be full of emotions every day.

In the quiet study room, the warm warmth permeated.

"Master," looking at Si Cangqing who had been working for a long time, Feng Lan said softly, "You should take a rest, since the emperor let you take charge of the country, you rarely rest."

Looking up from the memorial, Si Cangqing looked at Feng Lan, then got up and said, "Walk with me!"

"it is good."

The bright spring sun enveloped the two people walking side by side gently, and their shadows on the ground were intimate.

"The slave joins His Highness the Crown Prince, all blessings, Your Highness."

Being blocked suddenly, Si Cangqing was a little displeased, as he had clearly told his servants not to disturb him just now.

"What's the matter?" Si Cangqing asked lightly.

"Returning to Your Highness, the slave is Delian, the chief manager of the Empress Dowager's Palace of Heavenly Blessing. Your Majesty asked the servant to come and tell His Highness that she wants to meet you!"

Si Cangqing fell silent when he heard the words, Queen Mother?In the past few days, it was originally the empress who sent people to invite him over and over again, but now the empress dowager also came to join her.

"Your Highness..." After waiting for a long time for Si Cangqing to respond, Nadelian urgently urged her.

Feng Lan watched the words and expressions for a moment, and then yelled at Delian: "Presumptuous, how can you allow yourself to be presumptuous in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Surprised, Delian hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "His Royal Highness, spare your life! Your Royal Highness, spare your life!"

"Noisy!" Rebuked in a cold voice, Delian hurriedly fell silent, kneeling on the ground in fear.

Si Cangqing withdrew his gaze, looked at the little eunuch Qing Xu who rushed over, and the other party said out of breath, "Your Highness, slave, this slave did not stop Director De, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Si Cangqing looked at Delian coldly again, and his voice was full of displeasure: "Delian, you are so courageous, relying on yourself as the empress dowager, you dare to despise the order of the palace,
