Invincible son

For thousands of years, the most important thing on this vast continent is the inheritance of the throne.

Accompanied by that dragon chair, there are always open and secret fights, swords and shadows, and even all kinds of extremes. What's more, it's bloody and rainy. Once you stand in the wrong position, countless people will fall to the ground.

Elderly people in the capital still remember the fall of 17 years ago. I don’t know how many high-ranking families were destroyed around that bloody night. Everyone was in danger at that time.

The Kaiping dynasty seemed to be far away from those sinister storms. Until the opening ceremony of the crown prince canonization ceremony, there were no discordant voices from the ruling and opposition parties.

The reason was that the second prince who was most likely to compete for the position of crown prince had long since withdrawn, and the sixth prince had never been publicly mentioned by the courtiers. As for the nine and eleventh princes who had just grown up, they were naturally only qualified to watch.

Since no one can compete, Liu Xian's position is very stable.

On May [-], the sky was gloomy and the summer breeze was slightly cool.

The officials of Qin Tianjian were all worried, lest His Majesty would be furious. After all, this is the most important event of the country, but it was held under such oppressive weather.

Fortunately, Emperor Kaiping never blamed his courtiers for this kind of thing, and he never showed his mind from the beginning to the end.

For three consecutive days starting from the [-]th, Kyoto will remain under martial law.

The first-class Xiangcheng Hou Xiaojin was in charge of the defense of the nine gates, and the defenders were all elite, conducting strict checks on everyone who entered and exited the city gates.

Li Zi, Marquis of Hejian, personally led the imperial army, and inspected every corner of the northern city, especially the palace and Taimiao. All the palace guards and internal prisons were under strict surveillance.

Under the command of Jing Chu, the head of the Kun Department, the crows of Taishitai Pavilion deployed control everywhere in the east, west and south cities to strictly prevent anyone from interfering with the grand ceremony of the country.

Luan Yiwei is hidden under the water, and Chen An, the deputy commander, is accompanying Emperor Kaiping.

Ten days ago, Luo Ting, who was in power in Dongfu You, completed the sacrificial ceremony according to the will of Emperor Kaiping. He had already issued an edict to heaven, earth, society and ancestors, obtained their consent and permission, and established the rule of law. Foundation.

At three quarters of Yin time, the night was long, and the eldest prince Liu Xian, dressed in a crimson gauze robe, arrived at Jianzhang Palace ahead of time under the escort of all the prince's officials. .

At the second quarter of Maoshi, when the sun rises, Emperor Kaiping rides the imperial chariot and drives to Jianzhang Palace, accompanied by all the courtiers in purple clothes.

Even though he has practiced countless times in private, Liu Xian still couldn't hide his excitement when the day really came.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of many past events. He grew up under the care of his father, queen and concubine. He was in a state of ignorance for a long time. It was not until the appearance of Pei Yue that he gradually woke up.The long talk in Qinyuan that day not only gave him a glimpse of the ideals in Pei Yue's heart, but also made him understand the responsibilities that the king of a country needs to shoulder.

The past is like a dream, and thinking about it seems like a lifetime away.

Can the hundred scenes of the flourishing age depicted by Pei Yue appear?
Liu Xian didn't have absolute certainty in his heart, but he just wanted to do it down-to-earth.

Thinking of this, he knelt down on the ground with even more humility and reverence.

Emperor Kaiping sat facing south, looked at the important officials in the hall one by one, from Mo Haoli to Wang Pingzhang, to Gu Liang and the rest of the people, and sighed softly in his heart.

It's a pity that Pei Yue wasn't there, and he probably wouldn't return to the capital until the end of the Yanping meeting.

fair enough.

Emperor Kaiping suppressed his thoughts, then nodded slightly to Luo Ting who was standing on the left.

The imperial edict for the establishment of a prince should be read by the head of civil officials. Mo Haoli dragged his old body into the palace today, but gave Luo Ting the opportunity to be a descendant of Fuze. Naturally, he won the respect of all civil and military officials. The will to resign and return home is extremely firm.

As far as Luo Ting was concerned, he suddenly understood the reason why Emperor Kaiping kept the old man. He wanted to wait until the end of the Yanping meeting and when Wang Pingzhang stepped down, the old man could truly withdraw from the court.Because of this, Mo Haoli did not hand over the booklet for begging for bones after confirming the emperor's intentions.

Looking at the thin and thin old man below, Luo Ting couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and a deep sadness filled his heart.

After receiving the hint from Emperor Kaiping, Luo Ting calmed down, and then began to read the imperial edict in his hand.

"Establishing a heir, advocating the strictness of the country, so inheriting and guarding the device, so inheriting the cultural and traditional industry, like the previous training, the time is only the classics, surpassing my ancestors, enjoying the heavenly wealth, nine houses in the dying house, celebrating the billions of years, wantonly To one person, the preface is inherited from Pigou. Compile the ancestors of Wu Lie, extend the main branch of Hong, accept the rest without borders, and there is no borders but compassion, the burden is heavy, only work hard, always cherish the training of the heirs, and be the deputy king."

Luo Ting's loud voice echoed in the hall, and the atmosphere was solemn.

"Emperor Zier's eldest son, Liu Xian, descended from the body and descended from the spirit, inherited the sage and begets the virtues, taught the deep and profound seductiveness, and the spirit of the leaf blows copper. He has made great achievements early, disdains young ambitions, is gentle and gentle from heaven, and filial friends are from nature. Ye Yingyuan, Yuanying Xishe, sent to Weicheng, and left the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and shook the palace. .”

For some reason, the excitement in Liu Xian's heart suddenly subsided a little at this moment, he couldn't help raising his head slightly, looking at the middle-aged man above him, tears gradually appeared in his eyes.

Mo Haoli didn't look sideways, and said silently in his heart: "Your Majesty, the old minister can only accompany you to this place."

Wang Pingzhang looked calm, and glanced at Liu Xian, who was showing his true feelings not far away, and had an illusion in a trance, as if the time had returned to 17 years ago.

In that year, Kaiping Emperor Liu Zheng regarded him as his eldest brother, and they talked about everything, and they described Daliang's eternal foundation in countless long nights.

The past is over.

Luo Ting's gaze stayed on the imperial decree all the time, and he didn't notice that there was a person in the hall who seemed to be emptying out. That was Guangping Hou Guliang who had known him for decades, but seeing his eyes looking at the gold bricks on the ground, he changed from the past. calm and composed.

As if preoccupied.

Luo Ting continued to recite the imperial decree: "If there is a country, there is a family; if there is a king, there is a father. Righteousness and two poles are the two poles, and they are all nations. What is good is not a virtuous person, what is evil is not a sycophant, what behavior is not the way, and what respect is not punishment. Do not be arrogant, Don’t be admonishing me, Mao Zi is a virtue, but I have a forever plan. It’s not prudent to use my bow to accompany you to save your life! The grand ceremony for the appointment of the crown prince will be held in the Taimiao in two days, and the concubines, princes, The princess, the prince, the princess, officials at all levels, and all the people came to watch the ceremony! The summer of the 17th year of Kaiping."

Luo Ting put away the edict, and then walked forward slowly.

Liu Xian didn't accept the imperial decree immediately, but looked up at Emperor Kaiping, suppressing his sobs and said: "I thank my father for your grace!"

Emperor Kaiping said gently, "Pingshen."

After Liu Xian kowtowed heavily, he got up to accept the order.

So far, Li Cheng.

After receiving the gift and thanking the gift tomorrow, the grand crown ceremony will be held in the Ancestral Temple the next day, and the imperial court will publish the imperial decree to enshrine the crown prince. Liu Xian's position as the crown prince is beyond doubt.

……

After sunset, Taishitai Pavilion Zuo Lingchen Mu Moyun returned to the empty mansion a little tired, and went straight to the study in the back house.

There is a young woman in the study, holding a volume of ancient books in her hands, her expression is calm and indifferent.

It's as if the lead is gone, and it's not as cold and arrogant as in the past.

However, there is a bit of determination to go to death calmly.
