Jia Zhu, the White Magic God of the Red Chamber

Chapter 46

The ninth day of September, Chongyang Climbing Day, is the day selected by Emperor Longxi to abdicate.And this day was also the day when the crown prince Tu Ze ascended the throne.Therefore, none of the dignitaries and nobles chose to go mountain climbing in the suburbs today.Even though the ladies and ladies in the backyard are looking forward to such a rare day when they can go out, but there is such a big event, they have to wait until next year.

The Zhenshenggong Mansion is no exception. Jia Zheng is a fourth-rank Beijing official. Although he cannot attend the Taiji Hall, he is still qualified to wait outside the hall.It is even more impossible for Ya'erlin, the newly-baked true Holy Duke, to be absent, and because of him, Mrs. Wang and Li Wan, who had a super order, also went to Kunning Palace.

The crown princess has not been officially canonized as a queen, and she still lives in the East Palace.The empress of Emperor Longxi lived in the Kunning Palace, and she would move into the Compassionate Ning Palace only after Tu Ze decreed to make her the Empress Dowager.Therefore, the female relatives have to go to the palace to see her today.

In the Daqing Dynasty, apart from Emperor Longxi, the Empress Dowager Mother and the Empress Dowager Mother were all alone.

Even if Emperor Longxi ascended the throne, there is only one empress dowager in the harem.On the surface, it is said that Qing Shizu did not want his relatives to dominate the government, so he buried Emperor Longxi's biological mother Concubine Shu with him.But in private, whether he was reluctant to allow other women to be equal to his beloved woman after his death, or whether there were other reasons, only Qing Shizu who was lying in the imperial tomb knew in his heart.

Although the relationship between Emperor Longxi and his biological mother was not very close, it was not far away either.

As an emperor, he could understand why Qing Shizu did this.Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen are both people who can influence her, but Concubine Zhen is a woman who is completely attached to him, while his mother concubine Concubine Shu is different.Although the Empress Dowager Mother only has rights in the harem, the distinction between the harem and the previous dynasty is actually not that strict.

Even though the palace has repeatedly stipulated that it is not allowed to pass on information privately, unless it is a poor concubine or court lady, she will always have contact with the family.

Few people who entered the palace as eunuchs without heirs could refuse the charm of silver.

Rather than saying that Emperor Longxi has been ignoring the Queen and the Crown Prince for so many years because he loves Concubine Zhen deeply, it is better to say that he is venting his dissatisfaction with Emperor Qing in his own way.Although he is not the eldest son, he is the eldest son. In the absence of a direct son, it is natural for him to be the eldest.

But when Qing Shizu didn't reach the last moment, he just refused to reassure him.He has experienced so much, and his fourth son is just because he was born as a legitimate son, he is his legitimate heir!So he ignored the queen and the prince, mother and son, although he said that there was no suppression on the surface, but he kept acting in private.And he even supported the other sons, making them feel dissatisfied with the prince.

Now that everything was settled, looking at Tu Ze kneeling at his feet, waiting for him to put on him the Xia Dynasty Crown with Dongzhu, which only the emperor could wear, Emperor Longxi was full of thoughts.

The performance of this son in the past few months has left him speechless.It is said that he has never educated the prince, and the people in Zhan Shifu in the East Palace are specially arranged by him, and the errands he usually entrusts to the prince are not urgent or important. The prince should not be so quick to learn about political affairs is.

However, the prince is so outstanding.

This made Emperor Longxi have to arrange manpower to investigate while being suspicious.It was this investigation that made him know that his father Huang Qingshizu might not have the slightest sense of father-son friendship with him as he thought.

His queen, who had been unhappy with him for 46 years, was not from the fourth-rank Hanlin as he thought.

The Wang family of Langya...

Although he didn't like the family from the bottom of his heart, he had to praise Langya Wang's upbringing.If it weren't for the support of Langya Wang's background, how could he have such an outstanding prince.

Qing Shizu had thought enough about pointing him to such a princess.On the surface, Wang and Queen don't look very eye-catching, but they are really extraordinary inside.It's a pity that he was too young and vigorous when he was young, and failed to discover the beauty of Queen Wang.

If he had been willing to meditate a little more back then, perhaps everything would have been different today?

With a lot of emotion, he took off the Xia Dynasty crown on his head, and Emperor Longxi gently took it off Tu Ze's head that was kneeling in front of him.This grand ceremony was his last grand ceremony as the emperor of the Daqing Dynasty.In the past 15 years, although he did not dare to say that he was a wise monarch, he worked hard.After that, he no longer bears the burden of the prosperity and decline of the dynasty.

"Emperor, be a good emperor."

Emperor Longxi's Zen ceremony ended with this sentence to Tu Ze.And soon, also in the Tai Chi Hall, Tu Ze will usher in a new era of the Daqing Dynasty.

****

On the ninth day of September, with the strong support of the Supreme Emperor Longxi, the court transitioned smoothly, and before the new year was closed, it was all in the hands of Tu Ze.

Tu Ze's reign name is Chengzheng, and it will be officially opened in the new year.

Before Tu Ze's reign was confirmed, there was a letter written by a senior official from the Ministry of Rites, saying that the Supreme Emperor was still alive, so it was a little too urgent to change the reign in this new year.In the end, the old sage, who was busy practicing magic with Yarlin, was interrupted by Tu Ze to read the scriptures, and issued an edict the next day.

As the abdicated Supreme Emperor, it is not a problem for him to live in the palace all the time.In addition, he also has quite a few concubines, and now he is only squeezed into two palaces, which is really a bit sour.Therefore, he formally brought his concubines except the queen mother together to the royal garden in the suburbs of Beijing. This garden was built when King Shizu was alive. After more than [-] years, it is now a famous royal garden all over the country.

Regarding the year number, the old sage also said it straightforwardly.The master of the Daqing Dynasty is now Tu Ze. He has retired and became an official. Naturally, Tu Ze has the final say on this dynasty.As the new owner of the dynasty, it is also appropriate to change the year name.

Originally thought that after Emperor Longxi abdicated, there would be two ministers whose mother-in-law would serve on his head, but he did not expect that Emperor Longxi would retreat so completely in one fell swoop.Not only did he not talk about government affairs at all, but he also moved to the garden to cultivate himself!

But their new emperor didn't want the old sage to let go, and went out of the palace to the garden from time to time to ask the old sage for advice.

If it weren't for the many courtiers who have seen Emperor Longxi's attitude towards Tu Ze for more than 30 years, just looking at the appearance of the two fathers and sons, it is really touching!

If the two emperors were so greasy that the courtiers' teeth ached, then every time Emperor Chengzheng went to the garden, the old sage would inevitably summon someone, which made the courtiers even more incomprehensible.

Then Jia Zhu, how did the old sages and strangers look at him with admiration!

This question was everyone's question before Emperor Chengzheng ascended the throne, and now that the Lantern Festival of the first lunar month has passed, it is even more of a question.On the contrary, the princes who had already been crowned princes and county kings had some doubts in their hearts, but because the speculation was too unbelievable, no one said it.

However, the princes, who found out that Emperor Longxi looked younger and younger during the monthly greetings, couldn't help murmuring in private.

If it wasn't for worrying about getting together to make Emperor Chengzheng unhappy and trouble them, the princes really seemed to gather together and chatter, among which the eldest prince and the third prince had the most complicated moods.Back then, because the eldest prince had the greatest possibility of succeeding to the throne, the third prince was not unhappy.But they are all siblings from the same mother, and their elder brother is in the top position, so they are better than the younger brother who is separated by a layer of belly.

What's more, he was the younger brother who was less ridiculed and bullied by them in private.

It's a pity that no one guessed the result, who knows how Emperor Longxi figured it out and completely let go of his authority!All the princes are guessing what kind of role Yaerlin played in this, but now it is obvious that neither the old saint nor the Chengzheng Emperor is willing to say, and they can only continue to speculate secretly in their hearts.

However, the eldest prince, Lord Loyalty, was actually the prince who had the closest relationship with Emperor Longxi, and he knew that what made his father so decisive to give up the throne could only be a matter of longevity.At the beginning, Emperor Longxi also recruited Taoist priests to make alchemy in private, but Emperor Longxi was very cautious, and ordered that the alchemy should be given to the dogs in the cat and dog workshop for a few months.

The result is self-evident, Emperor Longxi never took those pills.

At that time, Zhong Zhong still felt a little regretful, what would have happened if Emperor Longxi had taken those pills back then?Even though the crown prince was the orthodox heir, at that time the crown prince had little power in the court, so it was not impossible for him to plan something.

Now it is Tu Ze who officially took over the Daqing Dynasty and passed the transition period smoothly.Under the upbringing of Emperor Longxi, Zhong Zhong is a man of foresight. Although he is ambitious, he understands what can be done and what not to do.Knowing that there is no hope for oneself and still thinking about it, it is causing trouble for oneself, and it is also an excuse for Emperor Chengzheng to deal with them.

Loyalty became more and more docile, and gradually drew a clear line in the court, developing towards the direction of Prince Xiangui.Not only him, but he also led his third brother.Why are these brothers who are closest to him by blood, so they can't be folded at this time.

As for the young thirteenth brother, who has not yet reached the age of marriage, he has also moved into the garden with their mother and concubine Zhen Gui.It wasn't that Emperor Chengzheng was unwilling to raise the underage Yellow Emperor, but that the old sage Emperor Longxi had spoken and brought all the underage princes and princesses into the garden.

The former Concubine Zhen's family was so knowledgeable, but it made Tu Ze quite boring.But he is very busy now, he has to rectify government affairs, cultivate heirs, and spend time thinking about how to practice magic, and practice fighting spirit, so as to maintain the vitality and resilience of his body.

Seeing how hard his father practiced magic, he had to lay a solid foundation first.

Emperor Chengzheng who is so busy is also getting younger day by day, which makes all the princes and courtiers look sideways.The loyal prince finally confirmed his conjecture and made a new plan for the following actions.

Since he is no longer destined for that position, why not pursue the great cause of longevity with his father.Although it sounded like he was aggrieved and couldn't make such a choice, Zhong Zhong had always been suppressing his excitement when he had this guess.

Although the dragon chair is exciting, if he chooses between Changsheng and that chair, if he can't have both, he will choose the latter.

Although rights are important, with his status, as long as he lives long enough, he can get a lot of things.
