Chapter 236 The Decree
The empress dowager just mentioned He Lingyao's preparation for marriage the night before, but the same thing was mentioned again in the emperor's edict early the next morning.

On this day, the emperor issued four imperial decrees in succession.The first one is of course about Xiao Jingheng.

Regarding Xiao Jingheng's life experience, although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty should know, almost all of them already knew it in their hearts.But there must be a high-sounding statement.

Therefore, in this edict, Xiao Jingheng became a poor prince whose biological mother died early. Because he was very weak since he was a child, he was fostered under the name of the former King Huaiyang so that he could find a good doctor from the people. You can't sit and betrothed with treasonous sinners, so the emperor decided to welcome the prince back to the palace and change his name to Xiao Heng.

This imperial decree is full of nonsense, everyone knows it well, and no one will carefully read the nonsense.Because the courtiers all know that the core content of this edict is actually only one sentence, Xiao Jingheng, the only son of the former King Huaiyang, is now the only son of the emperor, the only prince in the palace.If there is no accident, he will also be the future prince and emperor.

Don't care how tricky the prince's background is! The word "only" is the key point.

The emperor's second imperial decree was about the adoptive mother.Concubine Lin finally got her wish this time, the emperor finally referred to Xiao Jingheng's own ideas and asked Concubine Lin to adopt Xiao Jingheng.

Of course, this imperial decree contains some high-sounding nonsense, such as the prince's new entry into the palace, fearing that no one will take care of him, etc., as well as some praises for Lin Guifei's virtuousness.Of course, no one looked carefully at these contents.

The courtiers only focused on one thing, and this pie fell on the Lin family.Didn't the emperor always fear Lin Taiwei's power?Why did Concubine Lin Gui become the adoptive mother of the prince in the end?It's incredible what the emperor thinks.

Therefore, this imperial decree about the prince's adoptive mother caused an uproar in the government and the public.The few families who lost in the competition of the prince's adoptive mother naturally felt dissatisfied, and the most resentful one was the Su family.

Su Ping couldn't figure out why the emperor chose Lin Guifei as the adoptive mother of his precious grandson.He considers himself to be Xiao Jingheng's grandfather, close blood relative, plus the matter about the child, the emperor actually owes his daughter something.Therefore, Su Ping thought that he should have a say in finding a adoptive mother for his grandson.

However, the emperor never asked him about his attitude.This made Su Ping both angry and confused. He couldn't help but think of the news that his granddaughter-in-law, Shangguan Yuan, brought from Wudinghou's mansion a few days ago.

Daughter poisoned grandson with her own hands...

no!Su Ping secretly decided that Xiao Jingheng could not be separated from his Su family.Even if Xiao Jingheng has a grudge against his mother right now, they have to find a way to bring the child back.Blood ties must never be broken.

The emperor's third imperial decree on this day was sent to the eldest princess' mansion.The content of this edict is interesting.

In the imperial decree, the emperor named He Lingjun the king of Huaiyuan County, and asked him to accompany the prince to study, and he went to the palace to study with the prince every day in the Sizheng Hall.

This is no surprise.But appointing He Lingjun to accompany the prince to read is just one of the contents of this imperial decree.

At the same time, the emperor appointed He Lingyao as Princess Yi'an, and appointed He Lingyao a wedding date.And at the end of the imperial decree, I wrote a very interesting sentence, asking the eldest princess Xiao Mingrui to concentrate on preparing her daughter for marriage.

"Heh!" Xiao Mingrui sneered after receiving the imperial decree, "It's asking me to keep my mind off my own business."

"Okay," the son-in-law patted his wife's arm as a comfort, "Fortunately, the emperor agreed to let Jun'er enter the palace as Heng'er's accompanying student, so you can worry less. The children are grown up, and there are some things that you should let go of." Let them practice on their own. Heng'er will be the emperor in the future, and there is no harm in experiencing many things earlier. And Jun'er, there is always a lack of tempering, and there is still a lot to learn!"

The emperor's fourth imperial decree is even more interesting.It's about Xiao Jingheng's studies.

In the imperial decree, the emperor did not designate a few lecturers for Xiao Jingheng as usual, but made a long list, including Sangong, Liubu Shangshu, Shenzhi Zhengshi, Hanlin Bachelor Chengzhi, Dali Temple Minister, Yushi Doctors, etc., almost all the officials with power above the second rank in the court are listed, including several officials in important positions of the third rank.

He asked these officials to take turns to enter the Ideological and Political Hall to lecture on current political affairs for the prince.The time is set at two o'clock in the afternoon every day. As for how the officials plan to arrange their shifts, the emperor doesn't care.

After the list of lectures was announced, officials in the DPRK and China could probably guess what the emperor thought.He is eager to train his only prince, so that he can get familiar with the government as soon as possible.Therefore, the court officials are guessing that the emperor should not have much time for these teaching officials, and the emperor hopes that the prince can enter the court and participate in politics as soon as possible.

Taiwei Lin, Prime Minister Chen, and Su Ping, a senior scholar, are all listed on this list.I don't know what the Taiwei and Prime Minister Chen were thinking, but after Su Ping received the order, he felt a little muttered in his heart.

He originally planned to persuade the emperor to let him be the prince's master, but he didn't plan to be one of the twenty or thirty "masters".

If it is really in accordance with the emperor's teaching plan for the prince, the Imperial Academy selects a master to teach in the morning, and the government affairs in the afternoon, the officials take turns to teach, then he will not have many opportunities to get in touch with his grandson!At most, he would seize the short two-hour opportunity to try his best to influence Xiao Jingheng when it was his turn to teach government affairs.

But what is two hours enough for? !Su Ping was really annoyed.

On this day, four consecutive edicts were all related to Xiao Jingheng.But Xiao Jingheng's wife, Shangguanjing, was like a random person watching a theater, as if she had nothing to do with her, sitting with old man Feng and gossiping.

"Officials from the Ministry of Rites are not serious about their work!" Shangguan Jing shook her head and commented: "I don't know how to make up Jingheng's life experience. I just explained that the biological mother died early. I don't know what the identity of the biological mother is. Look at it." It looks fake."

"No one is watching." Old Man Feng replied, "You only think about those trivial things."

"Who said it's a mess." Shangguan replied unconvinced: "My family, Jingheng, will be the emperor in the future. These will be recorded in the history books after a hundred years. Such a careless intention is not to tell the future clearly. Ren Jingheng's life experience is tricky!"

"The history books are all about after death." Old man Feng replied very disdainfully: "Besides, if Jing Heng really moved his hands on the family after becoming the emperor, what do you want to leave in the history books?" Good word?"

"But it's true." Shangguan smiled quietly: "Forget it. It's not bad to have a bad reputation."

 ---Here is the dividing line for the prince--
  Now there is a real imperial decree to rectify the name. From now on, Xiao Hengheng will be the prince, and Xiao Jingjing will be the prince and concubine.

  Thanks to Yun Qingqing and Pili Mu for their daily dried fish! !
