The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1220 Unconscious
"Didn't the crown prince want Gu Chengyu to guard the border? Tell those people to add more fire. The border has been quiet for too long, and there should be chaos. Let everything go ahead! Anyway, sooner or later there will be chaos."

Prince Gong looked at the dark sky, as the eldest son of the emperor, he had no choice.As long as the prince ascends the throne, he will no longer be tolerated, success or failure depends on it!
Gu Chengyu returned to the mansion, and after washing, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

After several days of hard work, he was really exhausted physically and mentally.No matter what happens to him in the future, when the sky falls, there will always be someone to support him, and he must sleep until the sky is dark and the sky is dark.

After Gu Chengyu had a good night's sleep, his spirit returned to its peak state, he couldn't help sighing, it's so good to be young!
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Chengyu rushed to the palace.The interrogation of Bu Ke has not been smooth these few days. Bu Ke is more difficult than Zhou Yuancong, but this has nothing to do with Gu Chengyu, because this matter is now out of his control.

Thinking of my brother Yin Kun who was far away at the border, he sent a letter a few days ago, saying that the source had not been found yet, and now he was ordered by the prince to continue to investigate at the border.However, Gu Chengyu feels that this is a special period, and it is really dangerous to be at the border.

"Report to Your Highness, I have something to report, please allow your Highness!" Qian Licong, the left deputy capital envoy, suddenly came out of the line and said in a deep voice.

The prince nodded upon hearing this, "Master Qian, please tell me!"

"Your Highness, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Since the vassal kings have already arrived in the capital, the new emperor's enthronement cannot be delayed any longer. The enthronement ceremony can be postponed, but as long as you get the Jade Seal and Tiger Talisman, Your Highness is already the new emperor. The lower officials believed that the fourth day would be an auspicious day, so they ordered the Imperial Academy to draft an imperial edict and announce it to the world first."

After finishing speaking, Qian Licong knelt down and kowtowed to show his determination.

"Your Highness, I think Lord Qian's words are justified. Your Highness, you have been taking care of the funeral affairs these days. You are so filial to the emperor, and your heart is commendable. However, the ministers have no leader. Even if His Highness guides you, your name will not be right. There are a lot of things going on in the DPRK, please Your Highness take the overall situation as the most important thing."

As the prince's uncle, Shen Shikang naturally hoped that the prince would ascend the throne as soon as possible.If you don't ascend the throne on this day, there may be variables.

Officials from the prince's lineage had waited for this day for too long. When they thought that the prince was about to ascend the throne, they couldn't help but feel emotional.

"But now the national mourning is only a few days away, and the enthronement ceremony will be held at the same time after the period of decline is over. At that time, it will be announced to the world. Isn't it justified to change the name?"

Di Wenhan, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, glanced at the two princes in front, and immediately objected.

"Di Shilang, anyway, His Highness the Crown Prince will be the new emperor sooner or later, so it's better to ascend the throne earlier, so that His Highness can give orders in a legitimate way!"

Shen Shikang looked at Di Wenhan with some scrutiny. In the past, Di Wenhan was always a gourd, but why did he suddenly jump up today.

For the officials of the prince's lineage, whoever prevents the prince from ascending the throne is their political enemy.

"That's right, Di Shilang, you prevented His Highness the Crown Prince from enthroning, do you have some ulterior motives that you shouldn't have?"

Qian Licong cast a sideways glance at Di Wenhan, and the long tone at the end of the sentence seemed to be malicious.

"Now that the emperor father has passed away, the second elder brother, as the crown prince, is naturally the best candidate for the new emperor. My younger brother believes that the new emperor's ascension to the throne cannot be delayed."

Suddenly, Prince Jing came out to speak, which surprised the other courtiers.

"Exactly! The second brother, as the heir of the country handpicked by the father, ascended the throne as the emperor, which is what the people want, and it is justified."

Not to be outdone, Prince Gong stood side by side with Prince Jing.The brothers seemed to have never agreed with each other before, and today was probably the first time.

The prince looked at the two brothers with some doubts and disbelief. He was naturally not surprised when those officials said that, after all, they were all his followers.As for a few of them who opposed it, he naturally didn't need to care about it, and he didn't expect any disturbance from them.

But these two brothers had fought with him for the throne before, and they fought to the death.It's unbelievable to speak out in support at this moment, without any reluctance on his face.

"There is some turmoil at the border now, please Your Highness ascend the throne as soon as possible, comfort the people, and guard the mountains and rivers!"

"Okay! I thank you all for your great support, and I will definitely live up to your trust." Now that this matter is mentioned, it would be hypocritical for the prince to refuse.Some things cannot be done again and again, otherwise it will be offensive.

Gu Chengyu watched all the ministers agree with him coldly, and knew that the matter was a certainty, but are Prince Gong and Prince Jing really so calm?
Prince Gong was still testing him yesterday, trying to win him over, but today he openly supported the prince in the palace, which seemed a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

Needless to say, Prince Jing is a cautious and patient character.For him, the crown prince's accession to the throne is just one more trouble.

There are still three days left, I don't know if there will be any changes between these two people.Gu Chengyu took a look at the prince who was calm on the surface, but actually in high spirits.I still have to remind the prince later that he must be fully prepared.

The prince was indeed as Gu Chengyu thought, he appeared very calm on the surface, but his heart was already surging.

He took a look at the officials in the hall and took a panoramic view of the expressions of these officials.Then with a glance, he saw Gu Chengyu who was silent with his head down.Seeing that Gu Chengyu seemed a little absent-minded, his excitement couldn't help sinking.

Three days passed in a flash, and the crescent moon was still hanging in the sky, and the prince was helped out of the mourning hall by the servants.

Although today is not a formal canonization ceremony, it is also a good day for him to reach the sky in one step.He is still in filial piety, still dressed in filial piety.Even though he only slept for an hour last night, the prince felt refreshed after cleansing his face.

Just in response to that sentence, people are refreshed on happy occasions.

A soft footstep entered the inner hall and stopped behind the prince.

"Pang Chu! Is the empress awake?"

The prince straightened the jade crown with his own hands, and looked at the young man in the bronze mirror.Although I have been tired for several days, I look a little haggard.But on such an important day today, his heavy body was ignited by excitement, and at this moment, he felt that the exhaustion of last night was swept away.

After today, he is the most honorable person in the world.However, the two of them were very peaceful these two days. He waited for three days, but nothing happened.

Thinking of Gu Chengyu's reminder to him, the prince still can't take it lightly before he feels that it is not going well to become emperor.

He was a little surprised that he didn't hear the answer from the people behind him.

"Pang Chu?" As soon as the prince turned around, there was a strange fragrance.Then his eyes darkened and he fell unconscious.

Gu Chengyu packed his bags and was sitting in a carriage waiting to leave the city.Now it is useless even to take the officials' posts, the capital is under martial law, no matter you are a first-rank official or a royal family member, you have to get out of the carriage to be interrogated.
