Emperor Luoxi, the matter of the emperor's order and ceremony has stumped all the ministers.
Let’s talk about money. The two princesses are not short of money. Let’s talk about titles. They are already princesses.
There is no seal, no reward.
The officials discussed it for a long time, but Baili Bing couldn't decide, so he had to ask the empress to decide.
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
the empress asked the ministers present.
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and everyone found it difficult to handle.
"This is not a good reward. Why don't you give me money?"
"How much gold and silver does the palace have? Where do I need to pay for it?"
"It's not right to be crowned a knight. How can a princess be crowned a king?"
"Hey, aren't princes and princesses the same?"
After all, I couldn't explain why, and the empress also felt a headache.
"Your Majesty, I think that since it is difficult to award a reward to the princess, it is better to reward it to the regent. After all, we are all part of the same family."
Finally, Wu Jian came out.
The ministers in the hall were all excited when they heard this. Is there such a saucy operation?
However, it’s right to think about it!
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
The empress asked the ministers. After talking about it, the ministers thought it was feasible?
"Your Majesty, what General Wu said seems to be acceptable."
Baili Bing chuckled.
The empress nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's just blame the regent."
"In that case, let's talk about the regent's contribution along the way."
"Everyone knows that the Usi State invaded the Zhou Dynasty for no reason, attacked Jinsha City, and massacred the people and soldiers! The regent went to the Western Regions, destroyed the Usi State, and destroyed the defecting martial arts scum and Shen Wanjin."
"This is also a great achievement. Let's talk about how to reward the regent for his contribution."
The empress threw the question out, and everyone with quick thinking guessed it.
Wang Wei, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately came out and paid homage: "Your Majesty, the regent has accomplished the task of destroying the country. In addition, the pacification of the Western Regions has never been done before. With this unparalleled achievement, combined with the contributions of the two princesses, I think he can be established as the emperor."
Save!"
The other ministers secretly cried out that it was a pity that Wang Wei had taken the lead.
This is a perfect opportunity. The empress intends to abdicate. Anyway, the throne belongs to Long Chen.
Whoever stands up first and speaks out will be the first to take credit.
The empress nodded slightly, looked at Long Chen, and asked, "What do the regents think?"
Long Chen didn't want to become the emperor so soon. The crown prince was okay, not too tired.
"It's all up to the mother."
Long Chen smiled, as long as he was no longer the emperor, everything would be easy.
Di Luoxi, Di Lingyi were very happy, and Di Xingwan was smiling.
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
The ministers in the court immediately echoed: "I second your opinion!"
The empress intends to abdicate, and Long Chen's achievements are unparalleled, enough to proclaim him emperor.
Everyone will definitely agree with the new boss taking over.
“I don’t think it’s possible!”
The empress suddenly spoke, all the ministers were startled, and the noisy court suddenly became quiet.
"What kind of trouble is it for you to be the crown prince? Just take over the throne directly!"
The empress stood up and shook her sleeves.
"The regent is a descendant of Long Yuan and is qualified to inherit the throne."
"Since entering the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has conquered the south and the north, made great military exploits, unified the world, pacified the southern barbarians, and the Western Regions. His achievements and martial arts are unparalleled!"
"If the four princesses marry the regent, he will be the heir to Zhou Dynasty."
"After all these years, I am tired and want to take a rest!"
"Let me tell the world that I will abdicate in two months and the regent will succeed me!"
The ministers in the court were startled, woke up, and hurriedly worshiped: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Long Chen sat next to him with a grimace, and the Empress asked: "Why, do you dislike this chair?"
Long Chen stood up and laughed
He said: "No, my son. I am not familiar with government affairs yet. I need time to take my time. Can my mother do it?"
The empress refused: "No, I'm tired too. Why should you be so carefree and happy? I'm exhausted!"
Long Chen was speechless.
The ministers in the court snickered, having never seen such a scene before.
People all over the world are rushing to be the emperor, but I have never seen Long Chen being forced to be the emperor like this.
"From today on, all matters in the court will be handled by Long Chen, who will act on behalf of the emperor. Please do not report to me again!"
"Okay, the rest of the court meeting will be chaired by Long Chen!"
"Sit on!"
The empress pointed to the phoenix chair, waved her sleeves and left.
Long Chen was left confused.
I knew the empress was going to abdicate, but I didn't expect to be so anxious!
"Mother, mother."
Long Chen still wanted to persuade her to stay, but the empress ran away immediately, followed by Di Waner and Zhuang Linger.
The ministers of the court snickered, Long Chen awkwardly looked at the chair he had been looking forward to, and said helplessly: "My lords and dear friends, let's continue!"
Long Chenzhen sat on it and looked at the ministers in the hall, feeling a little headache.
From now on, he will have to sit still until his son grows up and succeeds to the throne, which will be a hard life for at least twenty years.
"I am beginning to report. Prince Regent, this succession ceremony should be organized by the Ministry of Rites!"
Wu Jian was very happy and was the first to come out and salute to Long Chen.
"allow!"
"Any more?"
Duan, the Minister of Household Affairs, both came out and paid homage: "To inform the Prince Regent, the Ministry of Industry would like to withdraw five hundred thousand taels of silver for the construction of the road to the south."
The various ministries started to do something, and Long Chen stopped one by one.
Fengming Palace.
The empress returned to the pavilion in the back garden and sat down. Ziyun and Miaoyin were feeding the fish and admiring the lotus flowers.
The empress took off her court clothes and changed into something cool
Dress.
"Just retreating from the court?"
Ziyun was a little surprised, it was too early to leave the court today.
"No, I announced to the court that Long Chen would succeed him. I won't care if he goes to court in the future."
The empress sat down and fed the fish calmly.
Miaoyin smiled and said: "Sister, are you really confident that you can give him the government affairs?"
The empress said: "That boy can do better than me. It's time for me to have some leisure time."
Ziyun smiled and said: "That's right, it's time to relax, the emperor and his grandchildren are here."
The three of them were having fun in the back garden.
The court meeting did not end until noon. Long Chen rode back to the palace and was greeted by Yourong and the people in the palace.
The news of Long Chen's succession has already spread to the mansion.
Zou Kai stood at the door and waited: "Congratulations to my adoptive father!"
Long Chen said with a straight face: "How is your study? How is your martial arts? Are you messing around?"
Zou Kai said: "Don't worry, adoptive father, the child has grown up and will stop messing around."
After entering the palace, there was soon another wave of congratulatory ministers. Long Chen closed the door and refused to receive any of them.
The succession was announced in public, and the Ministry of Rites began to take care of it.
While delivering messages to various states and counties, he was also preparing things needed for the enthronement ceremony.
There were too many government affairs, so Long Chen asked the cabinet to deal with them more. Six ministers took turns, and he only decided important matters.
Wu Jian and Meng Yidao entered the palace from the side door and saw Long Chen in the living room.
"Congratulations, Major General."
"Congratulations, sir."
The two of them were very happy, Wu Jian was the happiest. Seeing Long Chen proclaim himself emperor, his lifelong wish was fulfilled.
"Uncle Wu, I'm so happy. I'll have to watch endless memorials and endless nights."
Long Chen sighed helplessly.
Meng Yidao smiled and said: "Everyone in the world covets the throne, but you are the only one who fears it like a tiger."
Long Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm afraid of him like a tiger, but I think about how difficult my life will be in the future."
