The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 44 Can't sit without enthronement?

Chapter 44 Can't sit without enthronement?
After Jun Rong's words fell, everyone seemed to have come to their senses, and they all knelt down to salute, "I have seen His Highness the Eighth Highness, His Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old——"

Xiao Yu's eyes were slightly focused, and he scanned everyone present with some scrutiny.

Sure enough, they are all old foxes, and they are very dissatisfied.

In the last edict left by the first emperor, it was directly said that he was in Jun Rong, without a transition, so before Jun Rong ascended the throne, he was only the Eighth Highness.

Whether they can successfully ascend the throne is another matter, so there is no need for them to salute and shout Your Majesty now.

Jun Rong also noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere, he pursed his lips, and instead of getting everyone up immediately, he led Xiao Yu to the dragon chair in the center of the Mingguang Hall.

When he came to the imperial platform, Xiao Yu whispered to Jun Rong: "Go, I'm here."

The word "Chen" made Jun Rong slightly stunned, and then his heart felt inexplicably at ease. He nodded, stepped on the imperial platform, stood in front of the dragon chair, raised his hand to everyone, and said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me."

For the first time in his life, Jun Rong understood the feeling of being condescending. When all the officials bowed their heads, he was the only king.

He seems to understand why so many people covet this position, who doesn't want to be admired by all people?
Jun Rong sat down on the dragon chair, and everyone's voices came from his ears, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Yu stood at the front of the group of officials, drawing a clear boundary with the people in the two rows. Many people looked over curiously and inquiringly, but Xiao Yu was unmoved.

Standing with her hands behind her back, she is the youngest person here except Jun Rong, but her aura is stronger than some old fritters who have been in the officialdom for many years.

However, this does not prevent those who find fault from coming out to criticize.

Looking at the person who stood up, Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, hey, old acquaintance, isn't this the Taifu Zhang who was beaten at the door of his house last time?

When Taifu Zhang saw Xiao Yu's expression, he immediately became ill. Obviously, he also remembered the unpleasant experience last time, which can be called the most embarrassing experience in his life.

He came out and stood in the center of the hall, holding a wat board, slightly raised his chin, his expression was a little haughty, coupled with the wrinkles on his face, he looked very unfriendly.

Jun Rong was a little nervous, staring at Zhang Taifu, trying to keep a sullen face: "Does Zhang Taifu have something to play?"

Zhang Taifu snorted, "There are many things, and there is one thing in front of you. Your Highness, you have not yet ascended the throne, but you are only a prince. How can you sit on the dragon chair? This is against the rules! Is this how the son taught His Highness? Back then, His Highness But personally appointed you as Tai Tuo, didn't you even teach the most basic etiquette?"

What a familiar conversation, wasn't that how she satirized Taifu Zhang at the beginning?
This is to seize the opportunity to get revenge.

Xiao Yu hooked his lips, "Teacher Zhang's words are reasonable, but they are not right."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

Zhang Taifu stared at Xiao Yu as if watching a show, wanting to see what she could come up with.

Xiao Yu said unhurriedly: "It is clearly written in the last emperor's last edict that it was passed on to the eighth prince, so the eighth prince is the next emperor. Although he has not succeeded to the throne, no one is more qualified than him Sitting on it, and it has been delayed before the enthronement ceremony, can be put on the agenda now, what do you think?"

"How can it be the same? If you haven't ascended the throne for a day, His Highness the Eighth Prince is just a prince, not an emperor. If your name is not right, you won't be able to sit on the dragon chair!"

Zhang Taifu was firm.

Xiao Yu also did not give in at all, "Teacher Zhang thinks His Highness cannot sit, who can sit? A country cannot live without a king, and His Highness will ascend the throne sooner or later. The grand ceremony is nothing more than a formal ceremony. Could it be that for the sake of the so-called righteousness and integrity, the government can ignore it? Can the harem be left alone?"

"I don't mean that, don't talk nonsense here! Etiquette and law cannot be broken, and it has been the same in all dynasties. Do you want His Highness to be the No. 1 that violates the ancestral system?"

The two were fighting each other, the atmosphere was tense, and when they were about to fight, Jun Rong suddenly stood up, "Enough!"

He said with a sullen face: "The imperial edict written by the first emperor doesn't count, so what else is Taifu Zhang going to do? Aren't you messing around? Besides, no matter if your Highness is the prince or the emperor, who would allow you, a subject, to call yourself 'I' in the Mingguang Palace? Your etiquette What did you learn? Is this how you set an example?”

The little prince looked thin and easy to bully, but he really lost his temper, and he was not a vegetarian, so he frightened more than half of the people.

To say that others may not have this effect, but no matter how bad the eighth prince is, he is indeed the heir appointed by the late emperor himself. It is really a bit unreasonable to cling to the enthronement ceremony.

Sensing that the colleagues around him were all looking over, Taifu Zhang's face flushed suddenly, "I...my minister——"

"Okay, if Zhang Taifu has nothing else to do, then step down, the morning court is not for quarreling."

Jun Rong sat down again, restrained his temper, put his hands on his knees, and grasped his robe tightly, his palms were sweaty.

His heart was also pounding, and if it wasn't for the distance, he doubted that other people could hear it.

Jun Rong glanced at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu smiled encouragingly at him, his eyes seemed to say: "Good job."

Jun Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yu knew that it was difficult for him, so she helped him to share more.

"Your Highness is right. The assassination is such a big matter. Zhang Taifu didn't care about it. Instead, he insisted on the matter of His Highness not being enthroned. What's the reason? Don't forget, you came here uninvited early in the morning. Otherwise, His Highness is still recuperating in Xianrong Palace."

"Healing?"

Someone exclaimed: "His Royal Highness is injured? Where is the injury? Is it serious?"

The hearts of the officials immediately rose, and they all looked at Jun Rong who was sitting on the dragon chair, with eyes that wished he could take off Jun Rong's clothes and see the inside.

Originally, Jun Rong was easily nervous, and being looked at "enthusiastically" by so many people made her feel a little uncomfortable. She didn't know how to react, so she had to imitate what Xiao Yu said, with a deadpan expression.

"Cough, His Highness was not injured, but he caught a cold last night and developed a fever. The old illness relapsed and he had been fevered all night. After drinking the medicine, the fever has subsided."

Xiao Yu nodded: "So, my lords, His Highness Eighth Highness has not recovered from the cold, and dragged his sick body to discuss government affairs with you, not to listen to your quarrels. The assassination matter last night has not yet come to fruition."

The Prime Minister thought for a moment, then turned to look at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple.

The two went out and clasped their hands and said, "His Royal Highness, after I received the news last night, I asked the city guards to help me search and arrest them all over the city, but there was no progress. I suspect that they have an internal response in the city, and there is an unknown hiding place." place."

After finishing his sentence, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice hesitated and said: "This incident is full of strangeness. Since they can bypass the Imperial Forest Army and sneak into the palace without anyone noticing, either these people's martial arts are too high, or someone from the Imperial Forest Army is supporting them, and the humble minister does not understand martial arts. It’s not good to jump to conclusions.”
