1724. Chapter 1724 Sincerity or Temptation 06

Huangfu Jue also promised to treat his brothers well. The military power on the border will be controlled by the seventh brother. When the other brothers grow up, they will also be granted the title of king and establish a palace, assigning them certain positions and allowing them to contribute to the court.

After hearing what he said, Su Mo reminded: "Fifth brother, you will be the emperor from now on, and you have the final say. Everything must be based on the overall situation. Sometimes, don't compromise again and again for fear of being criticized."

She didn't think that all the princes would be honest and have no interest in the throne like Huangfu Jin.

Power breeds ambition, and coupled with the instigation of thoughtful people, their ambitions will grow bigger and bigger.

Huangfu Jue thanked her, looked at her face for a moment, then lowered his eyelashes and said reluctantly: "Second brother, can you leave after Jue ascends the throne? I think, I hope second brother can look after me."

Huangfujin thought for a while, it would take a few days to prepare for Jiangnan anyway, so there was nothing missing. He looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo nodded slightly, "Since Fifth Brother warmly invites you, Brother Jin should agree."

Huangfu Jin smiled and it was agreed upon.

"Your Highness, the servant is going to get ready now," Wang Guile smiled so loudly that his lips reached up to his ears, and he said in a high voice, "Eunuch Liu, why are you still standing there? You have to tell the Queen Mother the good news."

Liu Yu glanced at them, bowed and retreated, walked outside the palace and said to Wang Gui: "Eunuch Wang, go and send a message to summon all the ministers to gather at Taiji Gate."

Wang Gui's eyes widened, "Eunuch Liu, what do you want me to do? Which one of us is bigger now?"

Liu Yu glanced at him and said calmly: "Can the prince read out the late emperor's edict?"

Wang Gui's pony-like face became even longer, so he had to go quickly and sent the young eunuch to announce the good news to the Queen Mother.

During this period, the Qintian Supervisor and the Ministry of Rites were the busiest. They had to calculate the auspicious date for Emperor Daxing's tomb, draft the posthumous name and temple name for Emperor Daxing, and select the auspicious date for the new emperor's enthronement, etc.

Finally, it was determined that the eighth day of April was the auspicious day for the new emperor's enthronement. The supervisor was busy making all kinds of dragon robes for the new emperor, including the crown robes for the enthronement, the official robes for formal occasions, the bean robes, and various daily robes, etc. For a while, everyone was on their feet.

As for the body of Emperor Daxing, Liu Yu requested to keep it secret in accordance with the late emperor's instructions. He did not allow officials to pay their respects and only said that it was placed in Qianqing Palace.

The Ministry of Industry studied moving the palace two miles east to build a new palace, but Huangfu Jue rejected it and ordered that only the remaining part of the palace be used, mainly divided into Yongning Palace where the Queen Mother lived and Xinde Palace where the emperor lived, because he did not have

A big wedding and no concubines, so I don't need too many palaces for the time being.
