As the imperial edict of canonizing the emperor's grandson spread throughout the world, reactions from various places in Dali varied.
Tianzhou, Zhenwu Division.
Tie Shou stood in front of the main hall, looking at the official documents from Kyoto and grinning.
"Your Highness is the grandson of the Emperor!"
"I would like to congratulate Your Highness!"
He bowed towards the north.
At the same time, the officials of the Zhenwu Division behind him were also full of joy.
Liu Zhengshan, Xuan Huang, Wen Su, Cheng Moshen, etc. were all very excited.
Now they have been completely integrated into Tianzhou Zhenwu Division, becoming an indispensable part of Zhenwu Division, and have the same interests as Zhenwu Division.
Qin Wei, the master of Zhenwu Division, has now become the grandson of Dali and will ascend to the throne in the future.
This is definitely a great joy for them.
…
Shuzhou, Danlian Mansion.
In an exquisite villa.
"Miss, miss!"
Xiaochan held up the hem of her skirt and ran into the study with a happy face.
In the study room, Situ Qianxue was sitting at the desk, quietly holding a volume and reading.
Listening to Xiaochan's shouts, Situ Qianxue couldn't help but frown slightly.
"What's wrong?"
She raised her head and asked Xiaochan who ran in.
Xiaochan said with joy on her face: "Miss, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been named the Crown Prince!"
As soon as these words came out, Situ Qianxue was stunned.
For a moment, her mind was filled with questions.
Why was the prince named the grandson of the emperor?
She couldn't understand.
When Qin Wei left, he didn't tell her what he was going to do. He just said that he would go out for a while and let her wait at home with peace of mind.
After Qin Wei left, she didn't pay much attention. Although she missed him a little, she seemed to be used to waiting for Qin Wei's return.
In her mind, Qin Wei had no chance of becoming the emperor.
Before they got married, the elders of the Situ family told her what her future life would be like. No one ever thought that Qin Wei would become the crown prince or the new emperor.
"How could this happen?" She looked at Xiaochan confused.
Xiao Chan shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know, the official document has been spread all over the world. Prefect Danlian has just received the official document. The prefect is waiting outside the door, but Sister Shi Luan has already seen him."
"Miss, if the prince becomes the emperor, then wouldn't the lady become the queen?"
Xiaochan blinked and looked expectantly.
Mother's honor to the world is indescribable.
Even if they were born in Beiyuan City, they dare not say that they despise the position of queen.
Situ Qianxue did not show the slightest hint of joy, but instead frowned, with a look of apprehension and uneasiness.
"I don't know either."
"How could you not know? The young lady is now the princess. She is the concubine who was married by His Majesty. The prince is marrying the matchmaker. If the prince comes to Dabao, the young lady will definitely be the queen!" Xiao Chan said with a sure look on her face.
Situ Qianxue was stunned.
Be a queen!
She never thought that she just wanted to be a simple person and simply be by Qin Wei's side.
It is said that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. She has no expectations for the imperial city.
"Miss, miss, what's wrong with you!" Xiaochan asked when she saw her stunned.
Situ Qianxue came to her senses and said, "It's okay."
She thought for a while and said, "Ask Shi Luan to write a letter to the prince."
"Oh!" Xiaochan responded.
…
Long'an Prefecture, Shuzhou.
Shen Wansan and Qi Chao were sitting in a luxurious lobby.
"Has His Highness really been named the Emperor's grandson?" Qi Chao asked in disbelief.
Shen Wansan said with a rich smile: "Why, Brother Qi thinks I will lie to you!"
"No, no, I just can't believe it!" Qi Chao was surprised and happy.
Shen Wansan smiled and said nothing. He knew what Qi Chao was thinking.
When the Qi Dynasty was willing to surrender, it was completely forced by Qin Wei, who had no choice but to surrender.
Although he cooperated honestly later, he still had some uneasiness in his heart.
He knew that Qin Wei had delusions about the throne, and it was precisely because of this delusion that he felt uneasy.
If Qin Wei only wanted to be a free prince, he would at most feel heartache because Qin Wei was robbing him of his money.
But once Qin Wei wants to fight for the throne, things will be unpredictable.
If Qin Wei fails, then he will not get any good results.
Therefore, he could never feel at ease.
But if Qin Wei succeeds, then he will also rise with the tide.
"I knew that Your Highness could definitely do it!"
Qi Chao grinned, showing no trace of his previous unwillingness or anxiety.
Shen Wansan laughed, but did not reveal his little thoughts.
"I estimate that His Highness will ascend the throne soon, so we should prepare a big gift for His Highness." Shen Wansan said softly.
Qi Chao's eyes lit up, "Yes, yes, we must prepare a big gift for His Highness."
"But what should I prepare?"
Shen Wansan smiled calmly and said: "We are businessmen. I'm afraid there is nothing we can do about things that are too precious, but we have no shortage of common things."
The precious things he refers to are those rare treasures of heaven and earth, cultivation resources, etc. These kinds of things cannot be bought even if you have money.
Shen Wansan has already thought about this.
"I have prepared a million taels of gold!"
He lacks everything now, except money.
As the business territory of Long'an Mansion is getting bigger and bigger, Shen Wansan is being modest when he says that he is making money every day.
He estimated that after Qin Wei ascended the throne, the court would have more money to spend, so he prepared a million taels of gold as an offering.
One is to congratulate Qin Wei, the other is to relieve Qin Wei's worries, and the third is to show his contribution.
One million taels of gold should help him make a mark in Qin Wei's credit book.
Hearing this, Qi Chao said, "It's so good, so good. I will personally send it to Kyoto when the time comes."
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Shen Wansan with a flattering expression.
Shen Wansan agreed without any hesitation.
"Then I'll trouble Brother Qi."
Although he wants to show his merit with gold, he does not want to go to Kyoto now.
He believed that as long as the gold was sent to Kyoto, Qin Wei would know his contribution and there would be no need for him to go there in person.
Moreover, there are still a lot of things that need to be dealt with in Long'an Mansion, and he can't get away for a while.
When Qin Wei ascends the throne, he also plans to move various industries of Long'an Mansion to Kyoto.
So he had to stay in Long'an Mansion to prepare in advance.
When Qi Chao saw that Shen Wansan did not stop him, his face became even more joyful.
…
Yunyan City, in the army camp.
Li Xun looked at the letter in his hand, his old face showing no signs of fluctuation.
Mo Yan next to him didn't look surprised at all.
Situ Changkong, who was sitting next to Li Xun, had a complicated expression on his face.
"How could it be him?"
Situ Changkong asked complicatedly.
"Why can't it be him?" Li Xun said with a smile.
"But him~" Situ Changkong was a little hard to understand, but he didn't know how to say it.
Although Qin Wei was his son-in-law, he never thought that Qin Wei could ascend the throne.
He had never been in contact with Qin Wei, and his understanding of Qin Wei was only superficial. To be honest, he looked down on Qin Wei in his heart.
As a strong person in the three realms of Xiantian, princes, emperors, grandsons, etc. are not qualified to come into his eyes.
In his opinion, Prince Qin Wei is not as practical as an innate warrior.
When Qin Wei and Situ Qianxue got married, he didn't go there in person because he didn't like Qin Wei as his son-in-law. Of course, there was also the reason why he didn't care much about Situ Qianxue's daughter.
However, he never expected that Qin Wei would now become Dali's grandson, which not only shocked him, but also made him feel a little depressed.
Li Xun smiled and said: "From the first time I saw Prince Rui, I knew that the new emperor of Dali was the only one."
"Why?" Situ Changkong asked.
"Because he is cunning enough!" Li Xun said.
"Cunning!" Situ Changkong was even more puzzled.
Li Xun smiled. He should be the one who knew Qin Wei better, firstly because he had met Qin Wei several times, and secondly because Mo Yan had been with Qin Wei for a long time.
He knew best what Qin Wei had done.
Situ Changkong frowned slightly, "It seems that my eyesight is blind."
"Haha, this is also a good thing for you Beiyuan City." Li Xun smiled.
Situ Changkong also laughed.
"It is indeed a good thing."
No matter what happened in the past, he will definitely become Dali's father-in-law in the future. With this relationship, the relationship between Beiyuan City and Dali will definitely become closer.
This is naturally a great thing for Beiyuan City, as it can save them a lot of worries and troubles.
"But now we still have to prepare for the battle. I estimate that the Rong clan opposite will be unable to sit still soon!" Li Xu said with a serious look on his face.
Situ Changkong nodded seriously.
…
Yunzhou, amidst the mountains and fields in full bloom.
Lan Yuehou was resting his head against a tree, holding a wine bottle, and drinking freely.
"After Prince Rui ascends the throne, my good days may come to an end!"
He said helplessly.
The old man next to him looked solemn and said, "Master Hou, don't you think too highly of Prince Rui?"
"Wrong, I don't think highly of him. Instead, I may underestimate him!"
Lan Yuehou opened his eyes and looked at the misty sky, "If it were the old emperor, I would still be able to figure it out a little bit, but facing this guy like Prince Rui, I always feel that he hides a lot of things."
"Emperors are domineering bastards. He seems harmless to us now, but once he ascends the throne, the Awakening Fruit Tree will become a hot potato in our hands."
"Hey~~"
Lan Yuehou sighed somewhat depressedly.
"Then what should we do next? Do we want to do it?" the old man whispered.
His meaning was very clear, whether he wanted to get rid of Qin Wei or not.
This should be the easiest way to solve the problem.
Lan Yuehou shook his head, "It's difficult!"
At this time, Lan Yuehou was in a very complicated mood.
Although he made friends in Daliguang, there were only a few friends he truly recognized, and Qin Wei was one of them.
If possible, he really didn't want to go against Qin Wei.
But I can't help myself.
The Dongfang Family will not give up the Soul-awakening Fruit Tree easily. If Qin Wei becomes the emperor, he will definitely try his best to take back the Soul-awakening Fruit Tree.
When the time comes, he, the caretaker, will feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
"The old men at home are stubborn and we can't persuade them."
"Prince Rui has become a powerful man now. It's not easy for us to touch him, and I don't think he's afraid of us at all."
Lan Yuehou said.
He has also witnessed Qin Wei's growth. When he was in Tianzhou, he did not feel that Qin Wei was a threat to him.
But the last time he went to Shuzhou to see Qin Wei, he felt that Qin Wei was fearless towards him and the Dongfang family behind him.
The old man frowned and asked, "Then should we report it to our family?"
"Forget it, what's going on with the report now? He's still going to take action, so let's mess up the situation first!"
"Let's wait until he takes action. At worst, I will leave Dali, and then those old stubborns will have a headache."
Lan Yuehou said very irresponsibly.
The old man didn't know what to say for a moment.
He understood Lan Yuehou's character. Lan Yuehou didn't care about the awakening fruit tree. In his eyes, that fruit tree was not as important as a pot of wine.
…
Within Kyoto.
As the incident of canonizing the crown prince fermented, the noble families and official families in Kyoto also had their own thoughts.
Some people wanted to take the opportunity to show their favor to Qin Wei, others were filled with uneasiness, and many others fell into panic.
Most of those who panicked were those who had offended Qin Wei in the past. When the Zhenwu Division was first established, Qin Wei sealed the Incense Pavilion, and many nobles complained in front of the imperial city.
Although more than two years have passed since this incident, many people still remember it in their hearts. Especially at this time, they dare not forget it even if they want to.
In panic, a large number of people came to Prince Rui's Mansion to apologize.
Prince Rui's palace, which used to be deserted, became crowded after Qin Wei was established as the emperor's grandson.
But they didn't know that Qin Wei did not live in Prince Rui's Mansion.
Qin Wei has already moved into the East Palace.
However, Qin Wei could not stay in the East Palace for a few days.
Lihuang's health was getting worse day by day, and within four or five days, Lihuang was already bedridden, and his body was so thin that he was skin and bones.
Qin Wei seldom went to the East Palace these days. Instead, he stayed in the Shengtian Palace, handling government affairs and accompanying Emperor Li.
In the imperial study, Emperor Li was sleeping in the inner bedroom, while Qin Wei was sitting at the desk outside, processing the memorial.
"Your Highness, these are all!"
Eunuch Lu held a pile of memorials and placed them on the desk.
"This is all!" Qin Wei looked at the memorial in front of him with a look of astonishment.
There were so many memorials that the desk nearly two meters long was almost full.
"These are all relatively important, and some unimportant ceremonial supervisors have been eliminated." Eunuch Lu said.
Qin Wei was helpless, rubbed his brows, picked up a memorial at random and read it.
There are many memorials in Dali Chaotang, including greetings, thanksgiving, etc., and the most common ones are memorials on various matters, such as grain harvest, river management, local climate, army recruitment, etc., which are as large as
Major military and state affairs, as well as trivial matters in the homes of officials, must be reported to the court.
The key point is that these officials still talk a lot of nonsense in their memorials. Things that can be clearly explained in just three or two sentences must be written in hundreds or thousands of words.
Qin Wei held a memorial and flipped through several pages, not knowing what this guy wanted to say.
Originally, Qin Wei wanted to pretend to be diligent, but before he finished reading this memorial, he felt a headache.
Memorials are actually letters exchanged between the emperor and his ministers. In the past, there would be letters exchanged between Qin Wei and his subordinates, and the number was quite large, but he had never felt so uncomfortable.
Those who are inferior to him rarely talk nonsense, usually just a few simple sentences.
Sometimes even because birds need to convey messages, there are only a few words, simple and clear.
But what are these memorials in front of me?
What a waste of paper!
"This must be changed in the future!" Qin Wei turned to the last page, wrote a random word, and threw it aside.
There are different ways to be an emperor.
You can be diligent or you can be lazy.
In fact, there are almost no real major events in these memorials, and if there are major events, it is impossible to report them in this kind of memorial.
Moreover, these memorials have already been reviewed by the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies. The cabinet voted and the Supervisor of Ceremonies approved, so there was no need for Qin Wei to handle them.
Of course, if Qin Wei does nothing in the future, he may become a puppet emperor.
It's just that Qin Wei is too lazy to deal with it now, so he can only deal with it hastily.
So he read the words on the memorial, which means that I have read it and I will do it according to your wishes.
Eunuch Lu next to him was a little stunned when he saw Qin Wei fooling around like this. At this time, he even doubted whether Qin Wei was really suitable to be emperor.
"Your Highness!" He couldn't help but said.
Qin Wei asked without raising his head: "What's the matter?"
Just when Eunuch Lu wanted to persuade him to be more serious, a tragic cry suddenly came from the back bedroom.
"His Majesty passed away!!"
The sound struck Qin Wei and Eunuch Lu like a thunderbolt.
Eunuch Lu trembled all over and was so helpless that he rolled and crawled into the bedroom.
Qin Wei stood up, took a deep breath, and squeezed out a teardrop from the corner of his eye.
