Naturally, the first ministers to be notified were Qin Yuandao, Qi Jingqin and Liang Fengmian. The matter that Qi Bingyu wanted to announce was related to the matters that the three of them were concerned about, and Qi Bingyu would be the center of this edict, so naturally they had to be informed first.

Notified them.

Qin Yuandao and Qi Jingqin had been together these days. When they received the news in Chongxianfang, they both felt a little surprised. They thought the emperor was cured, but the eunuch who delivered the message said that the emperor was still recovering from his illness.

Among them, if I asked more questions, the little eunuch would know nothing.

Qin Yuandao and Qi Jingqin looked at each other, somewhat puzzled as to why it happened so suddenly. Before this, they had not heard of any improvement in the emperor's condition. Why did they suddenly summon all the ministers to the Yangxin Hall to listen?

Purpose?

When the young eunuch saw that Prime Minister Qin and Prince Jing were still entangled, he hurriedly said: "Prince Jing, Prime Minister, you go first. There are not enough manpower in the palace. Now I have to go to Yongpingfang to inform Prince Cong."

Qin Yuandao and Qi Jingqin looked at each other again. Of course they knew who lived in Yongpingfang. Wasn't that Qi Jingyang who had just been deposed?

If Qi Jingyang also wanted to go to listen to the decree, Qin Yuandao thought that it might be related to the establishment of the prince. If Qi Jingyang also wanted to go, then of course the royal ministers would be there, but now he still doesn't know exactly what the emperor wants to announce.

matter.

In order to be absolutely sure, Qin Yuandao had imagined all the possibilities before. He might have deposed the crown prince and appointed Prince Jing as the crown prince, or he might have restored Qi Jingyang's identity. However, the latter was obviously unlikely. After all, things had already reached this point.

At this point, there is no reason to restore Qi Jingyang to the status of prince. Even so, many ministers would not agree, but they cannot bear to have some of the royal family fanning the flames.

In addition, the emperor himself has always missed Empress Mingxian. If he thought of Empress Mingxian again and became emotional about this matter, then all the results may be changed.

All of this is unknown until you go to the Yangxin Hall to listen to the decree.

However, now everyone is worried about the content of the decree and has no idea what the emperor's physical condition is like. It seems that no one is worried about this at all.

————————————————

After the young eunuch came out of Chongxianfang and saw so many refugees in Chongxianfang, he was worried that he would catch some disease, so he quickly took a few packets of medicine from the epidemic prevention point outside the gate of Fangshi. He was from the palace.

The little medicine man over there gave it to me naturally.

After the little eunuch walked out of Chongxianfang, he spat at Chongxianfang in his heart, thinking that he would never come here again. What a bad luck!

The little eunuch walked very gracefully when he left. Chongxianfang is now a refugee camp, but it used to be a slum. He completely forgot that he also walked out of here, and crossed more than a dozen cities and towns to make a living, and then entered the palace.

.

Now that he returned to Chongxianfang, he actually felt that he was superior to others, as if he had not grown up here before. As soon as he walked out of Chongxianfang, he was going to Prince Cong's Mansion.

Everyone in the palace knew that Qi Jingyang had been deposed from the position of crown prince. It was just that there was no formal decree, but almost everyone in the palace knew about it.

In Prince Cong's palace, Qi Jingyang has been using alcohol to anesthetize himself all day long since Zhao Peiyu was buried. Kong Yan followed him every day and helped Qi Jingyang to the bedroom to rest. When Mr. Rongfu saw this, he felt very guilty.

It was Empress Mingxian who asked her to serve the prince at the beginning, in order to supervise Qi Jingyang's daily behavior and study. Now it seems that she has a great responsibility for Qi Jingyang to become like this.

Ignorant of knowledge and skills, I only know how to stop him when he is greedy for pleasure, and come out to persuade Qi Jingyang when he has the idea of ​​killing others. Wouldn't this be the result?

Seeing Qi Jingyang drunk every day, Rong Fu himself felt uncomfortable, but now that he was sober, it was even more painful.

When the little eunuch arrived at Prince Cong's Mansion, he hurriedly told Eunuch Rongfu about the incident and then went back. Who wants to have anything to do with an abandoned prince at this moment? Seeing the little eunuch leaving, Rongfu just said:

The world is in trouble.

But this matter is too important. I only heard that the emperor has been seriously ill. Who knew that now he would summon all the ministers to listen to the decree in the Yangxin Hall, and Qi Jingyang would be involved. The decree he wanted to announce must be very important.

of.

But just thinking about it, Rong Fu became panic-stricken. While ordering people to go down and make sobering soup, he hurried to find Qi Jingyang.

"Prince Cong, please stop drinking! Your Majesty! Stop drinking, Your Majesty!" Kong Yan followed Qi Jingyang and wanted to snatch the wine bottle from his hand. He drank too much today and could no longer drink.

But Qi Jingyang was too depressed if he didn't drink it. He was always thinking about his debt to Zhao Peiyu and everyone, and he wanted to risk his life to pay it back. But it wasn't time yet, at least Qi Jingqin had to pay with his blood.

Rong Fu followed the sound and found them. Seeing that Qi Jingyang was very drunk, Rong Fu stepped forward and quickly took off his flask. Qi Jingyang was a little surprised by the sudden appearance of the person, but when he saw that it was Rong Fu, he

He stretched out his hand and said: "Give me the wine...Give me the wine! Give it to me!"

Rongfu hid the jug behind his back, and Kong Yan pulled Qi Jingyang behind him. Rongfu looked at Qi Jingyang like this, and felt extremely sad in his heart, and said, "My lord, if you continue to drink like this, you will only torture yourself!"

"Don't...leave me alone! Leave me alone..." Qi Jingyang's eyes were red, and he stood drunk. He wanted to go forward and grab the wine bottle, "Give it to me! Give the wine back...to me!"

Qi Jingyang stepped forward to grab the wine bottle. Seeing this, Rong Fu ducked sideways, and Qi Jingyang lay awkwardly on the ground. Kong Yan quickly went to help him up, but Rong Fu stepped in to block Kong Yan, and then said to Qi Jingyang

: "Your Majesty, someone came from the palace just now and asked you to go to Yangxin Hall to listen to the order."

This sentence made Qi Jingyang sober up in an instant. He looked at Rong Fu with hazy eyes and asked, smelling of alcohol, "What? Listen to the order?"

Rong Fu nodded and said: "All the ministers have gone, Your Majesty, the Emperor has asked you to go too."

"What's the point of me going?" Qi Jingyang didn't know the meaning of letting him enter the Yangxin Palace now. He was obviously deposed and had no status in the court. Now he only had the position of Prince Cong, which was empty.

It's just a title, it has no effect at all.

Rong Fu helped Qi Jingyang stand up and said, "My lord, this is the first time you have met the emperor since you left the palace. I have ordered someone to prepare a sobering soup. After you drink it, go and wash up before entering the palace."

Rong Fu didn't know what the purpose of this decree was, but Qi Jingyang also cared about this opportunity to meet the saint. They seemed to have been kicked out of the royal family now, and they could not receive any news while staying in the palace.

Now that he could enter the palace to listen to the decree, although Qi Jingyang felt a little confused, he still hurriedly followed Rong Fu's arrangements.

————————————————

The streets in the capital were all lined with officials, presumably all of them were officials who had received orders to go to the Gate of Supreme Harmony and prepare to enter the palace.

Qi Jingqin and Qin Yuandao Liang Fengmian stood at the front, while Qi Jingyang also arrived late.

After Qi Jingqin saw Qi Jingyang, they looked at each other and turned their heads away. At this moment, neither of them wanted to see the other.

The ministers were all wondering what the decree would say. After seeing Qi Jingyang and Qi Jingqin, they all began to wonder if it might be related to the crown prince.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the Gate of Supreme Harmony slowly opened, and Qi Jingqin and Qi Jingyang walked side by side into the Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace.

No one said a word, and they all communicated with their eyes. Qin Yuandao and Liang Fengmian also looked at each other, and saw that Qi Jingyang was somewhat uneasy, worried that what they were worried about would happen.

The main reason is that this incident happened so suddenly. Everyone was busy with what they were doing, and suddenly someone came to inform them that they were entering the palace. It was inevitable that people would think about these things in conjunction with the current situation.

After everyone was standing, He Sheng came out from behind holding the golden seal. Seeing the golden seal was like seeing the emperor. He Sheng held up the golden seal and said: "Kneel down——"

All the ministers in the Yangxin Palace knelt down and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

He Sheng didn't squint his eyes and said: "Pingshen."

At this time, the emperor did not appear. He was receiving treatment from Shen Tuchen in the Qinzheng Hall. The piece of meat cut out from Liang Huanqing was mixed with medicine and was eaten by the emperor. It was said that he could be free from all diseases, but this was just a saying.

Just saying.

Qi Jingqin stood up together with the ministers. He had some doubts in his heart as to why his father was not here. What was the sudden decree to be conveyed?

He still doesn't know that Liang Huanqing is involved behind all this.

Before everyone could stand up for a while, He Sheng took out two volumes of bright yellow imperial edicts from behind with an expressionless face. Everyone saw this and knelt down again.

Qi Jingyang knelt in front, curious about what was written on this edict.

He Sheng did not give everyone time to continue their reverie, so he unfolded the imperial edict and began to read:

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict:

There was an emperor, a minister, a minister, and a concubine. He established an heir to protect the ancestral home. He consolidated his roots and forgot his personal love, and succeeded in order to maintain justice.

Therefore, the Jifa was established and Jifa was established, and the period of the Long Zhou Dynasty was seven hundred years; the Linjiang was deposed and the Yuyuan was punished, and the Yan and Han Dynasties established the two capitals. This is a message sent by the deputy governor of Zhizhi, and the security of the country is ensured; the rules of the establishment are abolished, and the tripod is established.

Destiny depends on its severity. Looking closely at the past dynasties, An Ke is not the person he is!

The Crown Prince Qi Jingyang was the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty. He was trained in "Poems" and "Books" and taught in "Li" and "Music".

This is a dance that despises benevolence and righteousness and alienates righteous people.

His intimate group is small, he does not betray any good deed, no evil is too big, his wine and sex are extremely desolate, and his civil work is luxurious. He promotes excellent skills day and night; he entertains dogs and horses and wanders around without restraint.

Gold and silk were scattered among the traitors, and they were beaten all over the servants and concubines. They were wronged before and after, and the sun and the moon made them worse. I will always learn from the past, never forget the true descendants, forgive their shortcomings and provocations, and train them twice as much. I choose a famous and virtuous person as my teacher. Select Duanshi to serve as palace officials. Just like the people in Hebei, their nature can be high or low;

Since then, I have been suffering from illness for a long time, worried about being deposed, accepting heresy and disobeying my orders, cherishing heresy and doubting my brothers. Although the favor is great, my suspicion and fear are getting deeper. Sexual pleasures, which are good, are always around; war is dangerous, and dangers are dangerous, so they are used to it as a show; and being cruel, they commit murder.

However, the little man he loved has been killed in the past, and if he can repent because of this, it will be even more sad. He cries to inherit the flower and subdues Bowang. He erects his body in the high hall, and there will be sacrifices every day; he sets up a fence in the forbidden garden. , the discussion will be honored.

They were given to officials to show their stupidity, and monuments were laid out to record evil deeds. They were both hurt by the ceremony and shocked by the sight and hearing. Jie Zhi's evil deeds are not comparable to his evil deeds, and his crimes cannot be recorded on bamboo and silk. How can he maintain the system of weapons and compile the system and bear the weight of the seven temples? ; When you go into prison and out of care, you will be sent to all the world.

Qi Jingyang should depose the crown prince, think of the Mingxian Queen, and establish the title of King Gong. He will live in Beijing forever and not participate in the affairs of the court. I have been ordered by God to be a parent, and I will care for the common people in all my life. I would rather not be a tomb heir. My heart. Once I get to this point, I feel deeply ashamed.

But those who are evil and deviant are walking around, despising benevolence and righteousness, and alienating righteous people. They are close to the small group, do not betray the smallest good, and do not overdo the evil. The wine and sex are extremely desolate, and the earth and wood are luxurious. Promote excellent skills day and night; the dog does not stop. The horses are entertained and wander around endlessly. The gold and silk are scattered among the traitors, and the beatings are all over the servants and concubines. They are guilty before and after, and the sun and the moon make them more prosperous.

As I have read in the past, I will never forget my direct descendants, forgive them for their shortcomings and provocations, and train them even more: choose famous and virtuous people to serve as teachers and protectors, and choose upright people to serve as palace officials!

I appreciate this——"

After He Sheng finished reading, everyone looked at Qi Jingyang in panic. Qi Jingqin and Qin Yuandao Liang Fengmian looked at each other. They had known these things for a long time. They were just relieved now. After all, he was no longer the crown prince.

Qi Jingyang also had a look of fear, but then he felt relieved that all this would eventually come, it just came a little late.

"Your Majesty, please accept the edict." After He Sheng rolled up the imperial edict, he handed it to Qi Jingyang with both hands.

Qi Jingyang looked at the bright yellow imperial edict in front of him, then he took it bravely and said: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness."

Qi Jingyang knew that Qi Jingqin beside him must be extremely happy at this moment, but how could he just follow his wishes like this! Qi Jingyang was unwilling to do so!

Before everyone could stand up, He Sheng took out another imperial edict, glanced at Qi Jingqin, unfolded it again, and said:

"In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Since ancient times, emperors have succeeded to the throne and established a stronghold to govern the Huan region. They must establish a Yuan Chu to establish the foundation of the country and ensure that the Mianzong Society has no boundaries.

I have followed Hongxu and worked hard day and night. I look up to my ancestor Mo Lie. I have entrusted you with the most important things. I will carry on the celebration and carry it to Yuanliang.

The second son of the emperor, Qi Jingqin, has a wonderful appearance and a beautiful talent. I hereby strictly obey the empress dowager and the empress dowager's kind orders. I will carry out the ceremony and obey the public opinion. I would like to inform heaven and earth, the ancestral temple and the country.

On March 19, the fifty-third year of Bingyu, Qi Jingqin was awarded a book of treasures and established as the crown prince. He was enthroned in the East Palace to link the hearts of the four seas with a ten thousand-year line.

I appreciate this——"

At this moment, everyone was exclaiming, and all the courtiers looked at Qi Jingqin. Qin Yuandao and Liang Fengmian's eyes were also filled with joy. This day has finally come!

"Your Highness, please accept the edict." He Sheng presented the edict to Qi Jingqin and said with a smile.

Qi Jingqin stood up slowly, his eyes full of surprise and sparkling with tears with excitement. He took the imperial edict and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness."

At this moment, He Sheng knelt down and shouted: "His Royal Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old -"

The ministers also followed the mountain and shouted: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old -"
Chapter completed!
