Chapter 135 Ceremony
At this point in time, Princess Qingyang's arrival was a bit subtle.

Just when Zhu You was about to succeed to the throne, if she came back to the Duke's mansion, wouldn't she just tell the Xilin party members and the emperor that Zhu You would definitely be a member of the Donglin party members?
However, from the side of Princess Qingyang, the Donglin Party members have lost the Ministry of Punishments, their control over the Ministry of Punishments has weakened, and they have been criticized more by the Xilin Party members. She was very uncomfortable, after all, she seldom suffered a disadvantage above the court.

Therefore, she desperately wanted to regain her control over the Ministry of Punishment. Now, Zhu You was about to enter the cabinet, was in the position of Duke, and was her own son. Naturally, she wanted to fight for it.

"Zhu You, you are about to enter the cabinet, do you have any plans?" Princess Qingyang is in a good mood recently, with a smile on her face.

Zhu You didn't quite understand why she was so happy, but Ye Ke understood, because today Zhu You inherited the position of Duke, and it can be regarded as her credit, after all, this woman with a face like a Bodhisattva and a heart like a snake But personally involved in the death of his son.

Zhu You drooped his eyelids slightly, and sat on his seat, "What does this mean, Mrs. Princess? What is the plan?"

"You don't have to pretend that you don't understand. You have inherited the title and are about to enter the cabinet. Now, there is a seat for Minister of the Ministry of Punishment waiting for you. Recently, there is an additional seat for Minister of the Ministry of Officials. These two are the only ones that are not guaranteed. According to the Holy Majesty If you have such a character, I will naturally come to ask for your opinion!" Princess Qingyang guessed Emperor Xianzong's intentions lightly.

"Is there any problem?" Zhu You still pretended not to understand.

Princess Qingyang raised her eyebrows, and simply made it clear, "You are my son!"

"If you don't tell me, I've forgotten about it!" Zhu You said indifferently.

"Zhu You, come to my command, I will guarantee your wealth and glory for a lifetime, and I will guarantee you to be the prime minister in the future, one person is under ten thousand people!" Princess Qingyang stared at Zhu You with burning eyes, and drew a big cake!

Ye Ke sat on the side, thinking, it seems that Princess Qingyang is a very ambitious person, she wants to be Wu Zetian and become an empress!

"Not interested!" Zhu You refused indifferently, as if the position that many people dream of, for him, is not as good as the cup of tea in his hand.

Princess Qingyang chuckled, "Okay! It's fine if you don't want to, today, just pretend I haven't been here!" Immediately, Princess Qingyang really left without even eating dinner.

Zhu You frowned tightly, he never expected that such a difficult woman in the past would let him go so easily today, but it was precisely this contrast that made him feel a little uneasy, even Even dinner was a little tasteless, but Ye Ke, who was at the side, still looked like a glutton.

"My lord, do you have a bad appetite?"

"no!"

"Are you worried about the tricks of Princess Qingyang?"

Zhu You glanced at Ye Ke in surprise, put down his chopsticks, and sighed, "I always feel that something is wrong. She ran over with all her strength and said a few unnutritious words, and then left so lightly, which is completely inconsistent with her personality." , I'm really worried about what she's up to."

Ye Ke swallowed a mouthful of food, and said carelessly: "My lord, you are thinking too much. It doesn't matter what she said or what she did when she came to the Duke's mansion today!"

"Why?" Zhu You didn't understand.

Ye Ke rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "Hey, eat obediently first, and I'll tell you! It's not a good boy not to eat!"

Zhu You smiled helplessly, and started to eat the food, "Let's talk!"

"Yeah, think about it, my lord, now is the time to enter the cabinet. Princess Qingyang actually knows what kind of person you are, my lord. Does she know the fact that she can't win you over at all?"

"She must know!"

"Exactly, but the emperor and Xilin Party members may not know about it."

"what do you mean?"

"It's very simple. The whole capital knows about the relationship between your lord and Princess Qingyang, and if she goes back to the Duke's Mansion at this time, it would be great if she can win over your lord. But more importantly, let the Xilin party know that she is back." After this incident, relying on the suspicious character of those officials, they will inevitably suspect that the Lord is already the party member of Princess Qingyang."

Zhu You held the bowl, but ignored this point, and said immediately: "So that's the case. Afterwards, no matter what my attitude is in the court, this suspicion must be indispensable. If I oppose her, then the Xilin Party members I also feel that we are acting, so it is inevitable that Xilin Party members will suppress me."

"According to normal people's thinking, the court is either east or west. If I want to gain a foothold, then I must join the Donglin Party."

Zhu You sneered, "What a plan!"

Ye Ke grinned: "It's okay, my lord! Anyway, we are walking straight, and we never thought of getting close to that party!"

After chatting with Ye Ke, Zhu You suddenly felt refreshed and began to bury his head in cooking. At this time, Ye Ke began to regret it, because although Zhu You ate elegantly, his speed was not slow, and his appetite was huge. Ye Ke liked to eat Most of the dishes were taken away by him.

"I won't enlighten you again! What a disgusting man!" Ye Ke secretly hated.

Time passed quickly, and it was April [-]th in a blink of an eye. Tomorrow is the grand ceremony for Zhu You's successor. The imperial decree in the palace has come. According to the rules, there are two ceremonies to choose from. One, it is lighter. , burn incense in the Kuomintang and Communist Mansions to worship the ancestors, and at the same time, the emperor will issue the imperial decree of succession and entertain guests, which is considered to be the throne.

Second, the imperial edict of succession is issued by the emperor, and at the same time, the emperor personally holds a huge canonization ceremony, and all the officials celebrate, but this kind of work is for the predecessor of the title who has worked harder.

Although the previous Duke Dingguo didn't make any achievements, Emperor Xianzong chose the second option this time, and the intention in it has to be thought-provoking.

All civil and military officials are guessing the emperor's mind. This time, Zhu You's succession ceremony is no longer just a simple ceremony, but has become a chessboard for the future forces of the court. In fact, many officials have already understood the meaning. Above all, there are distinct factions between the East and the West. This time Emperor Xianzong let Zhu You enter the cabinet, obviously hoping that a third force could enter the cabinet.

why?

That's because the current Emperor Xianzong has three princes, and the supporters of Prince Zhao Tong are the three princes, members of the Xilin Party headed by Taishi.Qi Wang Zhao Zhen's supporters are Donglin Party members headed by Princess Qingyang, and the fourth prince, Jin Wang Zhao Yun has always been in decline and was suppressed by these two elder brothers.

This time, it is very likely that Zhu You will support King Jin and participate in the seizure of the heir.

In other words, the enthronement ceremony this time also means that the war to seize the throne will officially start!
