Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 469 Prince Jing
"Liu Jin, declare the decree."

After the tedious wedding was over, Zhu Hou took care of Liu Jin and gave instructions.

Liu Jin understood immediately, took out a volume of imperial edict and shouted loudly: "Emperor's eldest son, Qi Yuan!"

After a round of neat and orderly nonsense, the main event finally came. All the officials were guessing that this might be the imperial edict to confer the crown prince, even the emperors of the Ming Dynasty thought so.

However, they still guessed wrong!
". Now you are enfeoffed as King Jing, and you will enter the Leopard House to assist in the government. I hope you will be self-restraining and diligent, be loyal to the country, and bless the world."

Prince Jing?

Not the prince?

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect such a result.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty and all the civil and military officials of the Taiwu Dynasty couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Zhu Houzhao was selling in the gourd.

Zhu Houzhao is only one of Zhu Qiyuan's sons, and he is not named Prince Jing, what kind of tricks are he playing in this? Could it be that Zhu Houzhao wants to make another prince the prince?

That is absolutely impossible. Everyone knows what kind of person Zhu Houzhao is.

Most people can't see through Zhu Houzhao's intentions, but in the eyes of some smart people, Zhu Qiyuan's King Jing represents an extraordinary meaning.

"Prince Jing, what a Prince Jing!"

Old Zhu smiled inexplicably.

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji and other emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not stupid people, so they quickly realized and understood Zhu Houzhao's intentions.

The title of king instead of crown prince is not because Zhu Houzhao wants to give up Zhu Qiyuan, but because he attaches more importance to Zhu Qiyuan, and it is because of his earnest expectation for this son.

Jing, as long as you are not illiterate and understand the meaning of this word, plus Zhu Houzhao's heart and wrist, the weight of this word is far more than that of the prince.

Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Zhang Mao and other ministers also understood the meaning behind the word Jingwang.

After receiving the canonized edict from Liu Jin, Zhu Qiyuan was still a little dazed, not because he disliked the title of King Jing, but because he was not ready to contact the government.

Facing endless government affairs all day long, it was difficult for him to adapt to his wanderlust. Unlike Zhu Houzhao, he had a hard-working old scalper like Dragon Master to help him deal with government affairs.

He intends to refuse, but in the public, how many eyes are staring at him, he doesn't care about his own face, and he has to worry about his father Zhu Houzhao's face, so he can only admit it with gritted teeth.

As the sole heir of the Taiwu Dynasty, sooner or later he would have to get in touch with the government, but this day came earlier than he expected!

"Why is everything yours, why?"

Beside Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang, Zhu Houzhao's cheap younger brother An Wang gritted his teeth and looked at Zhu Houzhao and his son with great hatred in his heart.

King An, King An, keep himself safe and live a safe life, but he is not reconciled. He had the opportunity to rule the world, but it turned into nothing because of Zhu Houzhao. How can he not hate, how can he not complain.

The resentful eyes lingered back and forth on Zhu Houzhao and his son, roaring inwardly, vowing to make Zhu Houzhao and his son pay a painful price.

After the wedding banquet, Zhu Houzhao accompanied Lao Zhu, Zhu Di and other Ming emperors to drink and talk, and they didn't leave until they were very drunk.

As for whether they are really drunk or fake drunk, only they themselves know.

A body whose cultivation level is close to that of immortality, who can shatter mountains and rivers and shatter stars with his raised hands, can such a body get drunk?

If you are drunk, it is not drunk, but intoxicated.

"Zhu Houzhao gave his son the title of King Jing. Hmph, everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart!"

Back in the bedroom, the drunk and unconscious old Zhu woke up suddenly, snorting coldly, extremely unhappy.

The same scene was repeated again in Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji and others, all of them are masters with superb acting skills.

A group of ministers in the Taiwu Dynasty also had a heated discussion about Zhu Qiyuan being named Prince Jing.

In the mansion of Chief Assistant Yang Yiqing, a group of ministers gathered together to figure out Zhu Houzhao's real intentions.

The emperor's only son was not crowned prince, which made some ministers start to move around, but no one dared to act rashly before they figured out what the emperor was thinking.

They all followed Zhu Houzhao all the way here, and they all knew Zhu Houzhao's temperament, and his casual actions were likely to be huge pits, and once they jumped into it, there would be no place for burial.

"George, in your opinion, what is His Majesty's intention behind this move?"

"That's right, the eldest son of the emperor was crowned king instead of crown prince, does this indicate something?"

A group of ministers discussed and turned their attention to Yang Yiqing, hoping that Yang Yiqing would give him a thorough understanding, so that they could make preparations early.

Those who are in the officialdom, when it comes to standing in the team, it is always better to be sooner rather than later. If it is too late, they will not even have a drink of soup.

Zhu Houzhao is now in his prime, and it is still long before he abdicates, but this does not prevent them from finding their next home in advance.

"I would like to advise you all not to have any other ideas. Your Majesty's ability must have been learned by all of you."

Yang Yiqing warned the crowd a little bit, pretending to be profound: "The eldest son of the emperor got married, and His Majesty was named Prince Jing instead of the crown prince. Can you really not see the intention behind this?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. If they could tell, they wouldn't have come to look for Yang Yiqing.

"Everyone can know the meaning of the word Jing."

Seeing that everyone looked confused, Yang Yiqing raised them.

靖！
It has the meaning of pacifying the world and pacifying the Quartet!

Everyone suddenly realized, as if waking up from a dream.

After a severe slap, they were already sweating profusely, almost, just a little bit, they might play themselves to death.

Fortunately, they came to Yang Yiqing to clarify their doubts, otherwise they would have died, and they don't know how they died.

Glancing at Yang Yiqing gratefully, an official of the Ministry of Punishment swallowed his saliva, his lips were chapped and said: "Master Ge, Your Majesty"

Now it's hard to speak, and the heart, liver and five internal organs are trembling violently, thankful that he is still alive.

"Jing, it means calming the world."

"Your Majesty today has a heart as high as the sky, a great talent, and the ambition to expand the universe. I hope that the eldest son of the emperor can be like him, open up the territory for me, and pacify the four directions."

"Conferring Prince Jing instead of Crown Prince is not because His Majesty intends to give up the eldest son, but because His Majesty has high hopes for the eldest son."

"Furthermore, His Majesty's canonized imperial edict also said that the eldest son of the emperor should be allowed to assist the government in the Leopard House. It can be seen how high the content of the title Prince Jing is. It's not that the crown prince is better than the crown prince."

Yang Yiqing explained Zhu Houzhao's intention clearly in a few words, and everyone expressed their admiration.

Sure enough, all the people who can enter the cabinet are human beings. As soon as the emperor made a move, he immediately understood what the emperor was thinking. No wonder Yang Tinghe, Wang Jia, Fei Hong and other cabinet members did not panic.

"Your Majesty, if you really don't make a move, it's fine. If you make a move, I'll be ashamed!"

An official of the Ministry of Rites sighed, lamenting that the emperor was so unpredictable, and every move carried meanings that ordinary people could not understand.

"Everyone, your Majesty's power is something we can't guess. Only by doing things honestly can you protect yourself. If you fall into your majesty's hands due to a mistake in one thought, no one can save you."

"What kind of temperament is your majesty, you must all know, don't try to provoke your majesty's authority."

Yang Yiqing warned everyone again.

"Ge Lao's words are deafening to me, and I will always remember them in my heart."

Everyone said in unison.
