I studied in modern times

Chapter 38 Prince (1)

Empress Xiang hugged Zhao Xu, step by step, climbed up the imperial steps in front of Funing Hall, and only put Zhao Xu down in front of the gate.

Zhao Xu landed on both feet, raised his head, and looked at everything in front of him.

There are twelve long halberds displayed on both sides of the majestic Funing Palace gate, which is made by the emperor's palace!

After crossing the halberd frame, everything in Funing Hall came into view.

All the courtiers have bowed to the ground to welcome them.

One by one, the female officials retreated to the left and right.

The smell of burning wormwood came from the hall.

"My son..." Empress Xiang looked at Zhao Xu, who seemed to be in a daze, thinking that he was afraid of strangers, so he quickly took Zhao Xu's hand: "Follow your mother into the palace, and go to your father!"

"Yes!" Zhao Xu nodded, and was led by Queen Xiang into Funing Hall.

This was the palace he was most familiar with, but now it is a little strange.

The soap leather boots on the feet stepped on the stone floor of Funing Palace, making a crisp sound.

This is the place where his life finally disappeared in his last life.

It is also the starting point of his new life and destiny now.

Empress Xiang led him, step by step, to the front of the majesty of the Funing Hall, and the chief ministers followed behind their mother and son, walking step by step, holding their hands.

Walking to the end of the main hall of Funing Hall, Empress Xiang led Zhao Xu eastward, and a curtain had already fallen ahead.

Inside the curtain, Empress Dowager Gao sat on a chair in a public uniform.

Through the curtain, one can vaguely see that Empress Dowager Gao is wearing a dark blue robe, solemn and grand.

There are two temples on the head, nine dragons and four phoenixes on the crown, and a big dragon bead decoration in front, with a tassel ball in its mouth, which is dazzling.

Two pieces of white jade are placed on both sides, and Qingluo covers the knees.

The ministers who were behind Queen Xiang and Zhao Xu collectively held their hands and bowed to Queen Xiang and Zhao Xu who was beside Queen Xiang.

Wang Gui on the left and Cai Que on the right even took a step forward holding Yufluorene, and then bowed deeply in the direction of the Empress Dowager in the curtain, and then bowed in the direction of the emperor's couch in the curtain.

Empress Xiang led Zhao Xu to the front of the curtain.

Then, facing the curtain, Empress Xiang bowed gracefully, and bowed: "I know my mother: the bride has brought the prince Yan'an County King to the palace, and begs for the empress' kindness, and the prospective prince Yan'an County King enters the ban!"

After speaking, he pulled Zhao Xu's body to the queen, and motioned Zhao Xu to follow her to worship.

Of course Zhao Xu knew, what should he do now?

But he is just a child.

And, he's been smart enough.

Too much too!

What's more, if he knew everything, wouldn't Queen Xiang have no sense of participation and accomplishment?
In modern times, Zhao Xu played mobile games.

So he knew that even in those card-drawing krypton gold games, it was not possible to be invincible by drawing powerful and rare characters.

You also need krypton gold to increase the strength of the stars, and you have to scan pictures to gather equipment.

Otherwise, what is the use of light character strength?

There is no sense of substitution, no sense of participation, and no sense of accomplishment. Players will easily abandon the pit.

So, Zhao Xu honestly, under the demonstration and guidance of the queen, bowed to the long body inside the curtain, bowed his head to the ground, and then whispered to the queen in a childish voice: "My son, the servant of the king of Yan'an County, I ask my father that the emperor's body is safe; I respectfully ask my mother all blessings!"

Empress Dowager Gao, who was in the curtain, finally spoke: "The queen's request is in line with the will of heaven and in line with people's hearts!"

So the curtain was lifted.

Outside the Hall of Funing, Shi Deyi, who had been waiting at the gate of the hall, raised the clean whip in his hand again.

Snapped!
The net whip tore through the air and made a crisp sound.

"The prince has moved the palace!"

Outside the Hall of Funing, in the corridor, the ministers who were recruited here by the order of the Empress Dowager Gao all faced the direction of the East Pavilion of the Hall of Funing, bowed their hands together, and said, "The prince moved the hall today, to comply with the wishes of the ancestors, and to obey the hearts of the people!"

In Funing Hall, as the curtain was lifted, Zhao Xu was led by Queen Xiang, and walked into it from the opened curtain.

Behind them, the chief ministers have already stepped forward according to the order of their shifts.

"Shangshu Zuo Pushe, Menxia Shilang, Duke Xun, Minister Gui of Shangzhu..."

"Shangshu Youpushe, Zhongshu Shilang, the founding official of Qingyuan County..."

"Shangshu Zuocheng, servant servant Chen Dun..."

"Shangshu Youcheng, Zhongshu Shilangchen Qingchen..."

"The Minister of Zhongshu's servant..."

"I know the minister of the Privy Council..."

"I know the Privy Council official Chen Tao..."

Amidst the ups and downs of the ministers' reports, in the end, all the ministers bowed to the ground collectively: "Respectfully send the prince, King of Yan'an County, to move to the front of the palace!"

In the curtain, Empress Dowager Gao, who was sitting on a chair, looked at Empress Xiang, led Zhao Xu, came to her, and bowed again.

The little grandson of the emperor is still immature in terms of etiquette.

It is necessary to teach and demonstrate to the queen at any time.

But he learns very quickly, almost as soon as he teaches.

Empress Dowager Gao nodded in satisfaction, so she said to the ministers outside the curtain, "Masters, please stand up!"

"The prince sent by the ministers is indeed excellent!"

"To tell you the truth, I ordered Dazong Zhenghe King Sipu to divination in front of the portraits of the ancestors in Jingling Palace. Dazongzhenghe King Sipu replied: I would like to follow your mother's benevolent order and ask the ancestors to divination. The hexagrams you see are all auspicious!"

"It can be seen that even the ancestors are quite satisfied with the child chosen by the husbands!"

The ministers fell to the ground and played again: "The ministers and others are in fear, and it is because of the blessings of the ancestors and gods, and it is also due to the kindness of His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager!"

Inside the curtain, being led by Queen Xiang, Zhao Xu, who was prostrate on the ground, listened to the voices of the officials outside.

He sighed inwardly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at the direction of the sick bed where his father is currently lying.

"Sure enough, in the minds of the officials, Father is no longer the Son of Heaven!"

What was already known in the previous life has now been verified by the facts again.

Zhao Xu still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

No king would be comfortable!

Although, even if I knew it, it would be impossible for all the ministers to be loyal to the emperor alone.

However, a creature like the emperor can't help but want everyone to be loyal to only one person.

Even though, the emperor actually understands that this kind of thinking is very dangerous!

But I can't control it!

Zhao Xu thought indiscriminately.

Outside the curtain, a table had been prepared in the Palace of Funing long ago, and was carried by the courtiers to the chief executives.

A piece of specially made jute paper was spread on the case table.

This kind of jute paper is familiar to every minister.

It is the paper used exclusively by the ministers of the former government office and the current government office.

It originated in the Tang Dynasty, and the documents written in it were called "Tang Tie" in Tang Dynasty, and their status was very high, even higher than the emperor's pardon.

Therefore, Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty abolished the system of hall postings and changed it to Zhongshu Zhazi.

However, after a hundred years in the Song Dynasty, there were two generations of Renmiao and Yingmiao.

The status of the Zhazi signed by the prime minister has once again successfully surpassed the status of the emperor's pardon.

Therefore, being able to sign and draw on jute paper has become the lifelong pursuit of all scholar-bureaucrats.

Today's officials are trying to change this situation. Therefore, in the fifth year of Xining, the Provincial Zha was reformed, and in the first year of Yuanfeng, it was determined that the Provincial Zha must be recorded first, and the decree should be submitted to the imperial court before it can be implemented.

At this moment, the chancellors looked at the table brought in front of them, and also at the jute paper on the table, and immediately understood what Empress Dowager Gao meant.

Now that the prince has moved to the palace, don't delay any longer!
Make your reservation today!

Tonight, we will lock up the academy and let the Hanlin scholars draft the Li Chuzhi Ci. Tomorrow morning, we will call all the civil and military officials to read the Li Chu Zhi Ci in the Chongzheng Palace to confirm the name and righteousness.

This is indeed the behavior style of Empress Dowager Gao of Baoci Gong.

The background of the family of military officials gave her a more decisive character than the queen of the family of civil servants.

Just like the Empress of Mercy, Holy Light, never procrastinating.

The prime ministers looked at each other.

Wang Gui's expression flustered for a moment, and he said to Cai in a low voice: "The old man is old, and the writing is not as good as before. Why don't you ask the right minister to write this letter?"

He not only instinctively resisted making the prince the crown prince, but also wanted to see Cai Que joke.

Cai Que, who has never been a scholar of Hanlin, nor a member of Zhongshu Sheren, is not good at writing words.

If Cai Que didn't know his weight and agreed rashly, he would make a big fool of himself!
Cai Que looked at the jute paper on the case table and laughed: "I have never been a minister of the two systems, so I am not good at it. How about asking Zihou to write it?"

Zhang Dun listened, nodded, and stepped forward without hesitation.

Among the ministers present, apart from Wang Gui and Li Qingchen, only Zhang Dun had the experience of being a Hanlin scholar.

When Wang Gui shied away and didn't want to write, in terms of qualifications, he was Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun walked to the table, pondered for a while, then knelt down on the ground, picked up a pen and began to write on the jute paper.

In no time, on jute paper, writing is complete.

Then he stood up and said to his colleagues: "Look, gentlemen, is this a good fit?"

The ministers leaned forward to take a look, and saw that on the jute paper, it was written in the standard Hanlin bachelor's handwriting: please make the sixth son of the emperor, the king of Yan'an County, the crown prince.

The ministers looked at it, although they felt that what Zhang Dun wrote was too straightforward.

But at times like this, there is indeed a need for such simple, straightforward words that do not leave any loopholes for anyone.

"Zihou's writing really fits together!" Li Qingchen said after looking at it.

Cai Que also nodded: "It should be so!"

Then he looked at Wang Gui: "What does Zuo Kui think?"

Wang Gui was silent for a moment, and said, "Isn't everyone's opinion already decided?"

Cai Que didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Gui. In Cai Que's eyes, there is no difference between the current Wang Gui and the dead!

reason?

Wang Gui himself was stupid to say such things.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, public opinion exploded, and the ministers had to act.

He has fallen to his own death, and there is no cure!

Now, everyone has no time to pay attention to him, but after the crown prince is established, Yushitai will take care of him.

There is only one fate waiting for Wang Gui: the above table asks the crime to go out!

If the empress dowager and empress are kind and holy, maybe he can retain the dignity of his country's prime minister.

But in history, Wang Gui must be convicted!

That being the case, Cai Que naturally wouldn't talk nonsense with Wang Gui.

He directly said to the other chief executives: "Since there is no objection from the group of officials, let's sign the charge!"

"Let's go first, Zuo Kui!"

Wang Gui lowered his head, stepped forward bravely, picked up a pen and signed on the right side of the jute paper in cursive script with his own personal Chinese characters.

After Wang Gui, Cai Que stepped forward.

Then came Zhang Dun, Li Qingchen, and Zhang Yu.

Then came Han Zhen and An Tao from Xifu.

So far, all ministers in charge of the three provinces and two prefectures have signed and marked on the jute paper in order.

The prime ministers of the Eastern Mansion are on the left side by side, and the two men of the Western Mansion are on the right, each marking their characters.

This jute paper has also changed from a simple jute paper to a provincial letter for recording yellow.

As long as it is sent to the imperial court again, it will be approved by the emperor.

Then, it has full legal effect, and it can be issued to the Secretary for implementation, which is called a familiarity certificate!
……

Try to re-enact it. Three provinces and two prefectures recorded yellow ripeness today.

(Hanlin characters) Please make the emperor's sixth son, the king of Yan'an County, the crown prince.

The signatures are all in the lower right corner, but the East and West prefectures are divided into left and right separated by a certain distance.

And it is also written vertically, each under the official title, signing their own unique, distinctive style, cursive calligraphy that is difficult for outsiders to imitate.

On Zhang Dun's handed down calligraphy Kuaiji stickers, there are his handed down cursive script, which has obvious characteristics and can be recognized at a glance.
