Kaolin Flower Raiders Guide

As the coronation ceremony was approaching, Xie Shenxing was hesitant, so he went to Xianfu Palace on a warm spring day to meet his mother and concubine, Ning Guifei.

There are colorful lights on the mountain, golden and green together, beautiful and beautiful.Concubine Ning was lying gracefully and gracefully behind the screen. After hearing the announcement from the palace servants, the palace attendants rolled up her hair and walked to the main hall in a leisurely manner. Xie Shenxing had been waiting here for a long time.Concubine Ning has been the only one who has won the Sacred Heart for many years, but she has only given birth to a prince like Xie Shenxing in the past few decades.Emperor Yunkang grew up with her for nearly fifteen years, and he has loved her day after day with deep affection for these years. The female officials of the palace tried to persuade him to take the rain and dew, but he never listened to much.

Xie Shenxing was able to spare his mind to figure out what Emperor Yunkang was thinking, but since he was sensible, he has never been able to see through his pampered mother in the palace for several years.The unknown is frightening. Others say that Concubine Ning is favored but not arrogant, and she is one of the most gentle people in the palace. Only Xie Shenxing knows that he has more awe than love when he sees his mother.

Concubine Ning said calmly: "The coronation ceremony is coming soon, the emperor is not busy in the mansion, why did he come to this palace today?"

"Mother Concubine, I'm depressed, and I can't make up my mind about something. I want to ask Mother Concubine to share a little for my son so that I can make a decision."

He politely bowed to his mother, carefully looked at Concubine Ning Guifei's face and said: "Mother Concubine, do you know that Father Emperor intends to discuss marriage matters for his son and minister?"

Concubine Ning smiled gently: "The couple of the Qi family raise their eyebrows together. Qi Ce has never taken a concubine. He only has one son and one daughter under his knees. Qi Ce has treated his daughter like an eyeball for more than ten years. If it were my palace, I wouldn't want to marry her." She married off so hastily. Your Majesty has tested the young master of the Qi family, and he almost has his reluctance engraved on his face."

Xie Shenxing breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and heard her say: "The other two presented by Qin Tianjian, one is the prostitute daughter of He Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, she is still young, and she only turned fourteen this year, and the other one is Zhang The Grand Tutor's granddaughter is a bit mediocre, and I look more like she's accompanying these two."

Xie Shenxing got a headache when he heard the name of the official daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. He Zhijing was afraid that the whole world would not know that he had a daughter who was good-looking both internally and externally. What are the benefits of choosing He Jin?

"The mother concubine also paid attention to this matter for the children, so the mother concubine has something in her heart..."

Concubine Ning raised her long eyelashes slightly, and the palace servants kneeling aside quietly hid their figures, and said softly: "One is unwilling, and the other is too late. If that's the case, then let's just leave it alone."

Xie Shenxing was shaken in his heart, raised his head and said: "What the concubine mother said is that crowning is a major event, and my son should focus on this matter."

Not long after, he proposed to Emperor Yunkang to postpone the marriage discussion temporarily, just as Concubine Ruoning expected, Emperor Yunkang actually nodded in agreement, and praised Xie Shenxing lavishly.

At the coronation ceremony of the first prince of this dynasty, all civil and military officials must wear official uniforms to attend.Lu Xiao felt very sad and angry. After the grief and anger was over, she still had to get up and get dressed sleepily. Fortunately, the Ministry of Rites had already set the date of the crowning ceremony, and the weather was gradually warming up. , but it was a little bit better than in winter.

In front of Xie Shenxing's incense table, the sound of playing music resounded through the hall, and the waiter held the crown in his hand, and shouted loudly: "On the auspicious day of the lunar month, we will start to add yuan clothes. Shoukao Weiqi, to introduce Jingfu." Emperor Yunkang sat high in front of the hall, Lu Xiao and the surrounding officials bowed down to the front.

Cui Yu's age and qualifications are all the first in the Hanlin Academy, and he was personally selected by Emperor Yunkang to announce the ceremony.Cui Taifu knelt down in the hall, bowed at the beginning of his trip, and said in his mouth: "This is an auspicious day, and I will be crowned as an adult. Filial friends in Kedu, Fulu will come to Pian."

In addition, the congratulations said: "The crown ceremony is raised, and the guest becomes a virtue. Respect and prudence are the principles of safeguarding the people."

Three pluses, it was Ning Guogong who stepped forward, and said in a deep voice: "Crown up to three pluses, order to wear badges. In matters of worshiping gods, Fanbang will be forever established."

The crown represents the appearance of an adult, and the order of dignity and inferiority.Lu Xiao lowered her head and stared at the ground, and the congratulations for the three coronations passed through her ears, feeling a lot of doubts in her heart.If he remembered correctly, this congratulatory speech was clearly used by the Prince Li.

When Xie Shenxing walked out from behind the curtain, he was wearing a traveling crown with nine jade beads on the front and back, a single red shirt inside, and a light gold wide-sleeved robe with a four-clawed golden dragon embroidered in the middle , a gold belt hook around the waist, a pair of jasper Ju on both sides, and white socks and black boots.All the officials were astonished, the crown worn by the second prince was actually in accordance with the prince's etiquette.

Lu Xiao and the others suppressed their astonishment, turned to where Xie Shenxing was standing, and worshiped one after another, shouting congratulations to His Highness for the ceremony.

"Xinger, since the crown ceremony is completed, you will take the way of responsibilities, be a son of a man, be a minister of a man, and the order of honor and inferiority, do you know?"

Emperor Yunkang's voice was like a bell, Xie Shenxing did not give in, and said loudly: "Thank you for your father's teachings, I will definitely remember them in my heart."

Since Wen's suicide, Emperor Yunkang has never set up the middle palace again, even though he is the most honored concubine Ning, he only retains the title of concubine.The crown ceremony of the second prince was a crown prince's etiquette, which was not in line with the ancestral system. Emperor Yunkang accepted it as soon as he saw it, and he didn't change the ceremony of meeting the middle palace into meeting the Ning family.So Xie Shenxing skipped this path and went to the Taimiao to perform the last ceremony.

The congratulatory banquet was held on the second day, and Emperor Yunkang and Xie Shenxing and their party went to the Taimiao, accompanied by officials of the third rank and above, and Lu Xiao just felt relieved.

However, before the congratulatory banquet started, the court was stumbled by another unexpected event.

Hundreds of years ago, the world was in chaos.Everyone wants to open up history in the troubled times and take the world into their pockets. From east to west, from north to south, each capable person will stand on his own as king and divide the world into four parts. The Great Zhou Dynasty took shape at that time, occupying the west.It was never a good policy to settle in one corner. At that time, Emperor Yunkang's grandfather, Emperor Yuanwu, was in power. The emperor disliked his father. As soon as he ascended the throne, he made the decision to fight.In 20 years, the kings of the three surnames in the southeast and north were all killed, and the Great Zhou Dynasty became the only master in this world.

Several good generals who followed Emperor Yuankang and made illustrious military exploits were all made uncles and honored as descendants.However, the hatred of destroying the country is hard to dissipate, and the spring breeze is blowing again. For decades, wars of all sizes have occurred from time to time, and it all depends on the loyalty of those few good generals to defend the country.Emperor Yuanwu died only a dozen years ago, but what Emperor Yunkang's father planned in his heart was to return the military power to the royal family.

The old emperor had seven sons, and the third son, Xie An, was Emperor Yunkang who was very much like his father, and won a complete victory in the fight for the heir.However, it was indeed the fourth prince who held the military power in the beginning, and he is also the King Jing now.The old emperor ordered King Jing to be the commander in chief, and the deputy general was the eldest son of Uncle Xue, who was well-known, to repel the soldiers from the Southwest in one fell swoop.King Jing is a complete martial artist, acting recklessly, he had no intention of seizing his heir, but he had a direct conflict with Emperor Yunkang because of his crime.Hou Jiliu retreated bravely and lived his whole life in the feudal land. He was the only one who survived among the remaining six sons.

Only three years after Emperor Yunkang ascended the throne, he crossed the river and demolished the bridge, slaughtering the whole family of the empress Wen.The third Marquis of Wen's family was also an old minister who was close to Emperor Yuanwu.After all, Emperor Yunkang didn't want to hurt the hearts of other aristocratic families, and now the one stationed in the southwest is still the former deputy general, the current General Zhenyuan, Xue Jin.Xue Jin was born into a family of generals, he had worked in the military camp for 30 years, and had very little contact with Emperor Yunkang, only when his troops returned to the court to report the war in detail, did they confront the emperor for the last time.

Emperor Yunkang knew that he was devoted to training and fighting, so he appointed him with confidence.But today, it was General Xue, who hadn't heard from him for a long time, who handed over an urgent report, reporting that there seemed to be a change in the southwest, and it was necessary to send an additional team of soldiers and horses from Wanzhou to cross Jinglan Pass for reinforcements.

There was a lot of noise in the court for a while, since Emperor Yunkang came to the throne, there were only two old cases in various places, and it was the first time that the Lord General asked for reinforcements.Fragrant mist lingered in the hall, and Emperor Yunkang looked around, as if he had made a decision.

"Is there any lover who invites you to go to Wanzhou?"

Although Emperor Yunkang was asking, his eyes were fixed on the old face of Zhongxiao Gong Zhao Jiping.Duke Zhongxiao was a few years older than Emperor Yunkang. The eldest son just passed forty this year, but he was employed in a civil service.The second son was thirty-seven, he was in his prime, and now he was serving in the Ministry of War. Emperor Yunkang was interested in this Erlang of the Zhao family.

Zhao Jiping understood, and was about to step forward with his son, but was dispelled by the person in front of him.

Since Xie Shenxing heard the news, he had a plan in mind.Emperor Yunkang suspected that he was not doing serious business and was stirring up troubles in Chang'an City, and recently he wanted to mention the fourth prince.Knowing that Xie Shenxing visited Huacui Palace frequently, he was even more disdainful in his heart.

Fortunately, Emperor Yunkang still gave him enough face in yesterday's coronation ceremony, and did not confer the crown prince, which is indeed the courtesy a prince should have.All kinds of thoughts surged up and converged on Xie Shenxing's mouth. He brushed the hem of his clothes, straightened his back and knelt in front of the hall, full of expectation: "Father, my son and minister have grown up, not only as a son, but now as a minister. To be a minister I should share the worries for His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will consider carefully and include the son-in-law among the candidates!"

Emperor Yunkang suddenly raised his eyelids, he stopped looking at Duke Zhongxiao, and looked at his son instead.Xie Shenxing is not afraid, years of love and affection have watered him into a peony standing proudly in the bushes, and these 20 years have made him grow stronger and will never disgrace the honor he has received.

Emperor Yunkang's heirs are blessed, except for Xie Shenxing and Xie Shenshou, and the eldest prince that no one dares to mention anymore, only a nobleman gave birth to his fourth son the year before last, and now he is still a three-year-old boy.This is also due to his exclusive favor for Concubine Ning, and it is more likely that after he has a preference for Concubine Ning, he does not want their children to experience the hardships of more than 20 years ago again.

People's hearts are always on the long side.Emperor Yunkang stared at Xie Shenxing in a daze, and suddenly found that this son had grown up to be able to take charge of himself.Even though he was dissatisfied with the matter between Xie Shenxing and Cao Fuzhong, he only vented his anger on Cao Fuzhong, Xie Shenxing was still his best child.He dotes on Concubine Ning enough, and the children of the two are also gifted and intelligent, so he has not established a crown prince for a long time, just because of that vague obsession.

It seems that if there is no crown prince, he will still be the decisive emperor.

It's already twenty years of traveling, if he can pass the test smoothly this time with Wanzhou, then give him the title of prince.Emperor Yunkang lowered his eyes slightly, thinking in his heart.

Xie Shenxing waited for a long time, and finally heard a faint reply from the top, okay.
