Chapter 2567 The death anniversary of the late emperor
He was extremely nervous at that time and just when he didn't know how to reject Qiu Mei, Mo Yan came with Prince Jin!
Fortunately, King Jin arrived in time, otherwise he wouldn't know how it would end.
With this scene, King Jin's trust in Mo Yan was greatly reduced.
If he puts on another big show then, the King of Jin will definitely be extremely disappointed with Mo Yan and will definitely drive Mo Yan away.
In this way, his alienation plan was successful!
.
Three days later, it was the death anniversary of the late emperor.
On every anniversary of the death of the late emperor, Emperor Hongyuan would lead his relatives, civil and military officials to worship the late emperor in the Ancestral Temple.
This is to tell the world that his throne was passed down to him by the late emperor, and that he inherited the throne legitimately and was not seeking to usurp the throne.
So on this day, he will make a lot of arrangements. He wants to save face so that everyone can talk about it.
When offering sacrifices to the late emperor, it is necessary to select a relative of the late emperor to read the memorial text. Logically speaking, it should be read by the late emperor's eldest son, that is, Chu Xuanchen.
However, Emperor Hongyuan was afraid that this would make people think that Chu Xuanchen was the orthodox bloodline who inherited the great unification, so he never asked Chu Xuanchen to read it. In these years, he always asked Zhu Guan to read it.
But this year, he planned to let his eldest son, King Jin, read the memorial text to reflect the imperial power of his Chu Yao sect.
He wants to tell the world that this world has long been his, Chu Yao's, and he will gradually erase all people and things related to the late emperor, and pass on the throne to his descendants.
When Chu Xuanchen knew that it was the King of Jin who came to read the memorial this time, he was very angry.
Asking King Jin to read it was an insult to his father, and it also meant that Emperor Hongyuan began to value King Jin again.
Emperor Hongyuan wanted the King of Jin to show off the glory of his Chu Yao sect, so he would show them some color.
Thinking of this, he walked to his desk and wrote a letter.
After he finished writing, he walked out of the study, handed the letter to Moli, and said, "Moli, send someone to deliver this letter to Mr. Yuan."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Strangely.

Jin Palace
In the middle of the night, a homing pigeon flew by Yuan Zhen's window.
Seeing the pigeon flying towards him, he quickly walked over and took down the letter tied to the pigeon's leg.
He unfolded the letter, curled his lips when he saw the words on it, and then took the letter to the candlestick and burned it!
Early the next morning, when Yuan Zhen came to King Jin's study, he heard King Jin talking to Mo Yan.
The King of Jin said: "Mo Changshi, this sacrifice to the late emperor is very important.
My father not only asked me to read out the memorial text, but also asked me to write the memorial text myself.
I am so busy with my affairs that I really have no time to write.
Since you have read many poems and books and have outstanding literary talent, I will entrust you with this important task."
After listening to this, Mo Yan thought to himself, the prince is so busy with business, he has no idea at all, and he doesn't know how to write memorial texts, so he was asked to write.
He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is busy with many things, so I will write this memorial text by my subordinates."
King Jin nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, this memorial is very important. You must write it well and don't let me down."
Mo Yan held up his hand and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will write it right away. I will definitely make Your Majesty shine in the sacrificial ceremony."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhen hurriedly walked in, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Mr. Yuan, why are you congratulating me?"
King Jin raised his eyebrows.
Yuan Zhen said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, in the past few years, the Emperor used the Zhu Guan to read out the sacrificial rites. This time, the Emperor actually ordered you to read it. This shows that the Emperor values you very much.
If this is the case, the prince’s position as crown prince will be just around the corner!”
