Ma Shunde was really scared this time, and his heart was trembling. He could not forget the etiquette even after being conferred the title of grandson on behalf of the king. This person really has dangerous mountains and rivers, and the depth of the city.
I am a eunuch and the emperor's servant, so I cannot influence the emperor's affairs, but as long as I discuss the matter and act impartially, I naturally have no responsibility.
But he made mistakes again and again, and the last trial failed.
How to deal with such a grandson?
Feeling extremely confused, Ma Shunde still regained his angelic demeanor. With an expressionless face, he stood facing south behind the incense table and shouted at the top of his voice: "Listen to the king's decree!"
"Sun Chen respectfully listens to the edict!" Su Ziji kowtowed.
"Zhi said: Since ancient times, when emperors succeeded to the throne and established their own power, and when they returned to the region, they would establish the crown prince, Maolong, and the crown prince. I thought that I would be able to inherit the throne, but I didn't expect that God would not miss the year, which not only made me sad, but also made me sad.
There are also
He lost all hope at home and abroad, but fortunately he had a son who could succeed him as king. He inherited the virtues of saints, was benevolent, filial, and gentle, and shouldered heavy weapons. He was suitable for inheriting the great authority. He was awarded a book of treasures and established as the emperor's grandson, so as to maintain the authority for thousands of years.
With the heart of the world, I appreciate this!"
"Thank you, my dear!"
Su Ziji felt dizzy for a while. Although the shadow on the half piece of red sandalwood was "Destiny 1", and the only one above the acting king was the grandson, he did not expect that the emperor would make such a major decision before tomorrow.
The content of this imperial edict is very short and contains very conventional words, but the words "Emperor Taisun" are the real deal.
"From today onwards, I am the king."
The prince is also a prince. After hearing the content of this decree, Su Ziji's heart dropped.
But I was stunned just now, but it was not a pretense, but a real accident. Could it be that the auspicious sign in the daytime had greatly increased my talents, and now I have the grandson of the emperor?
Thinking in this way, it is not impossible.
No, it's possible when it comes to other people, including the common people, but you can't think about imperial power in this way. Imperial power is promised to the emperor, who is closest to heaven and can see it most clearly.
To put it mildly, for the emperor to seek immortality and ask questions, this was actually going against the will of God. What's more, sitting on the throne now is an emperor who has killed all his princes.
The more contemporary the king is, the more he understands the demeanor of his nominal father, the "Prince".
Talent, capacity, grace, and destiny are all in abundance.
But the emperor was able to force the prince to death and exterminate the entire family, with only one Ye Buhui escaping.
It is naturally impossible for such an emperor to let himself go out of blood and family ties, let alone to obey God's will, and to look at him differently just because he is a saint in the daytime.
No, this is impossible.
The more holy he is in the daytime, the more he wants to kill his queen. There must be other reasons why he can be crowned grandson, but what exactly is it?
Seeing that Su Ziji was still kneeling, Ma Shunde understood very well and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face and greeted Su Ziji: "I would like to congratulate the grandson. The prince was deeply loved by the emperor back then, but it is a pity that God is jealous of talents.
, and even die early."
"But the emperor still feels sorry for the prince, so he named you the grandson. In terms of title, you should be the grandson. This title belongs to the original owner..."
Regardless of the past, now it’s your will, it’s your grandson, and the sooner you flatter him, the better!
He is even a little glad now that he is the one delivering the edict. It is better for him to deliver the edict than to find out about the matter afterwards and come to please the king... No, grandson, is it better?
Ma Shunde said "be cute" in his mouth.
"However, this is only a formal decree. The canonization of the grandson still requires a formal decree, and the decree has to go through the cabinet, and the procedures are complicated."
"For the sake of peace in Taisun's heart, Your Majesty has ordered your servant to bring Taisun's crown robe and jade seal at the same time, and also ask Taisun to take over the crown robe and jade seal!"
In this dynasty, both the prince and the grandson have jade seals. After all, they are all princes. Although the prince is not the emperor, he is still a king, and is separated from the category of ministers.
What is jade seal?
The emperor's seal is called a seal. Without the seal, the king's words cannot reach the world. This shows the importance of this jade seal. This jade seal is actually the imperial seal.
In the Wei Dynasty and Dazheng, in addition to the emperor, there were several people who could use jade seals, namely the queen, the empress dowager, and the crown prince.
Although there is no prince now, there is a grandson. In fact, the treatment of the grandson and the prince is the same, so naturally he will be given the jade seal.
Having this jade seal means having power, which is a symbol of identity and power.
However, the same jade seal actually has different names. The jade seal used by the empress and the empress dowager is generally called the phoenix seal.
As for the prince's jade seal, this dynasty and the previous dynasty generally call it the prince's seal, but it is rare for the prince's grandson, so it is completely feasible to call it the jade seal directly.
After hearing this and receiving the imperial edict, although it was not a formal edict, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Shunde worked very neatly. After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and followed Tiqi. Some ox carts that arrived later had already stopped at the door.
With an order, twenty boxes were moved in.
The snow has stopped a long time ago. These boxes can be opened directly in the main courtyard. When the boxes are opened one by one, you will see that they are all the prince's belongings!
Although he is a grandson, he must be using things that the prince used.
In particular, there is a jade seal, the stone is light blue, with five chisels on the button, and the seal is in small seal script. When you look through it, it is very simple, it is the four words "treasure of the prince".
Even Su Ziji couldn't help but feel dizzy when he saw this jade seal, and couldn't believe it.
"I will pay my respects to the grandson!" At this moment, people who reacted bowed down one after another to pay homage to the grandson, and some even cried bitterly.
"Grandson!" Zeng Niazhen sobbed even more. Seeing this seal, he remembered the prince back then.
Prince, have you seen it? Although you have passed away, your son still succeeded to the throne of Dazheng.
"Great grandson!"
At this time, a fifth-grade civil servant came forward with Ma Shunde. This was a Hanlin named Liang, and Su Ziji seemed to be somewhat impressed.
Liang Yuyin seemed to see Su Ziji's disbelief, and saluted and said: "Your Highness, this is indeed the emperor's decree. I drafted the decree, and then went to the palace with Eunuch Ma. I saw with my own eyes that the emperor used the seal. There is nothing false about it."
!”
"As for the Prince's Seal, the Emperor ordered it to be transferred to the Grand Sun, and the Grand Sun's treasure has been ordered to be engraved, which shows the Emperor's great concern for you."
"Congratulations, you are the successor. The prince's spirit in heaven can comfort me."
Liang Yuyin's thoughts were much simpler. The emperor was already old. Now that he was determined to establish a grandson, he had almost no time to make changes. If he didn't flatter him now, then when would he wait?
When Su Ziji heard this, he was shocked!
No, no!
There must be something fishy about the emperor being like this. You must know that even if the emperor has such intention, it must be discussed by the court, and the treasure of the prince is not trivial.
You must know that establishing the crown prince, enthroning the Eastern Palace, conferring treasures, and clarifying the identity are common features of all dynasty systems. Even though this treasure has no actual seal, the conferment, conferment, and receipt of great treasures are crucial to the etiquette system.
How can important matters be given and received privately at night?
Too urgent, too fast, this is very abnormal, and it is not in line with his understanding of the old emperor!
Suddenly, Su Ziji became more vigilant than ever before.
