Everyone in the court, both civil and military, knelt down and begged, and most of them would never get up if Qin Jiyan disagreed.
After three rejections and three invitations, His Highness Qin was unable to refuse despite repeated entreaties from civil and military officials. He had no choice but to agree "against his will".
"For the sake of the country, the country, and the people of the world, my grandson is unfilial." Qin Jiyan waved and knelt down in the direction of the dragon chair.
Qin Jiyan made a good gesture, and as soon as he apologized, some courtiers immediately defended him: "Your Highness's words are serious. In order to allow His Majesty to rest in peace, Your Highness had to succeed to the throne in advance. This is really the most filial act."
"Here is the Holy Emperor's edict of passing the throne. Your Highness is not unfilial, but generous and filial."
…
After some persuasion, His Highness Qin finally "opened his heart", and all the courtiers rejoiced and shouted: "Welcome to the new emperor to succeed to the throne, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
As soon as the sound came out in the hall, the guards and eunuchs outside followed closely behind, shouting: "Long live the Emperor!"
The sound of greeting the new emperor's succession was centered in the main hall and radiated in all directions. Everyone else in the palace knelt down one by one, regardless of whether Qin Jiyan heard or saw it.
"Finally succeeded to the throne." Tears flashed in the eyes of the elderly queen when she heard the shouts outside.
This time, the Chen family has made the right move. If there are no accidents, they will at least be rich for another generation.
"It's great that the new emperor has succeeded to the throne." Even though she was about to lose the right to control the harem, the queen was still very happy.
She is old. Even if she is in charge of the harem, how many years can she manage it?
Besides, with the old emperor's appearance, the harem is just a fictitious thing now. There is no buoyant concubine and no troublesome prince. What should she care about?
Rather than asking for this impractical false power and fame, she would rather want something practical.
People in the palace were the first to receive the news. Even Concubine Gu, who was under house arrest, also received the news early. Concubine Gu fell down on her chair and burst into tears: "The new emperor succeeded to the throne, his son, his son succeeded to the throne.
.Wu Yun, Wu Yun, I still lost to you, I lost to you."
Although Qin Jiyan put the old emperor under house arrest, he did not mistreat the old emperor. The old emperor still lived in the palace where he originally lived. Although he had no confidants and was not well-informed, it was impossible for the old emperor to be unaware of such a big event.
"Succession? Succession now? You won't give me a chance to make a comeback." The old emperor laughed bitterly.
It was he who issued the edict to establish the emperor's grandson, and he wrote the edict on the Zen throne. Ji Yan's succession to the throne was justified, but he... even if he stood up and spoke out, he had no position.
"That's all, that's all, it's okay for you to succeed." The old emperor closed his eyes and kept telling himself that he had to face reality.
People in the palace were the first to know the news, and soon people outside the palace also received the news.
The imprisoned Prince Zhao family, the deposed fifth prince...
"Hahaha, Ji Yan, as expected, you are the winner in the end." Qin Yunchu has been living a life of drunkenness and dreams since he was imprisoned. The outstanding performance of Northwest seems to be short-lived. Now he is drunk all day long and has no time to sober up.
.
He can't wake up!
Only after you have held power and learned things can you understand the value of power. It is the most painful moment to fall from the clouds.
"I don't regret it, I don't regret it! Ji Yan, did you hear it? I don't regret it." Qin Yunchu stumbled and fell to the ground. The wine jar shattered on the ground, but he didn't care, just lying on the ground.
Open your eyes wide and look at the blue sky and the white clouds.
Once upon a time, Ji Yan regarded him as a brother, helped him go to the Gu family to divorce, and took him to seek medical treatment. He once, once...
But it's useless to say all this now.
"Ji Yan, did you hear that, I don't regret it. And Gu Qiancheng, let me tell you, I, Qin Yunchu, will never regret what I have done!"
ah……
Qin Yunchu shouted loudly.
God knows, he regrets it, he regrets it so much that he almost goes crazy.
He regrets it!
But is it useful for him to regret it?
The Gu family also received the news, and Mrs. Gu just sighed, "Qiancheng's vision is indeed the best, I am not as good as her." It takes courage to admit that you are not as good as your granddaughter.
"Dad, dad, the emperor's grandson has succeeded to the throne. His highness the emperor's grandson has succeeded." Uncle Gu ran in with a happy face, "Dad, the emperor's grandson and Qiancheng have a close relationship. This time our Gu family is going to turn over.
Already."
Second Uncle Gu is a man who doesn't let go of hawks without seeing rabbits. When he saw Qin Jiyan ascending the throne, he immediately took out two hundred thousand taels of silver notes and said, "Dad, this is what I meant. Look...Qiancheng owes the Ministry of Household Affairs money.
Do you want to pay it back?"
The one who was a step behind Uncle Gu was Gu Chengzhi. Gu Chengzhi also brought a box to see Mr. Gu. Unfortunately, before he could open his mouth, Mr. Gu rejected him, "You don't need to pay back the money from the household department. You just go and pay it back."
Even if it’s gone, the Ministry of Revenue won’t accept it.”
What's the icing on the cake compared to providing help in times of crisis? Only now did the two of them realize that it was too late to please Qian Cheng.
"Grandpa, please help your grandson. From now on, your grandson... will all obey your grandfather." Gu Chengzhi knelt down and said aggrievedly.
But Mr. Gu's heart was harder than ever: "It's too late. Chengzhi, my grandfather taught me another lesson: don't regret what you have done. Regret will not help."
…
When Qin Jiyan succeeded to the throne, some families were really happy and some were sad. However, no matter whether the Gu family was happy or sad, Gu Qiancheng was definitely happy.
Qin Jiyan's identity is too sensitive. If he cannot succeed to the throne, he will end up with the same fate as the former prince. Now that Qin Jiyan has legitimately inherited the throne, she doesn't have to worry.
"The matter is over for now." Gu Qiancheng opened the door of the study room, looked at the bright sky, and smiled brighter than the rising sun.
"Your Highness, congratulations!" Gu Qiancheng said silently in his heart.
It's a pity that His Highness Qin doesn't have time to leave the palace now, nor can he accept Gu Qiancheng into the palace. His Highness Qin is in the main hall, agrees to the request of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and accepts the worship of the courtiers. He is already the new emperor. However, there is only one chance of succeeding to the throne.
A series of ceremonies have to be held, and after the enthronement ceremony is held, he will be the legitimate emperor.
Because the old emperor had been clamoring for the Zen throne before, although Qin Jiyan never took it seriously, the ministers had to prepare well when they heard this even if they knew it was false. If the new emperor really succeeded to the throne, they would not be able to make preparations in a short time.
Wouldn't it mean to offend the new emperor by holding a grand ceremony?
Therefore, on the afternoon of the day when Qin Jiyan accepted the worship of the courtiers, the Minister of Rites and the Qin Tianjian came to see Qin Jiyan.
The former is here to report to Qin Jiyan that the enthronement ceremony has been prepared, and Qin Jiyan can hold the ceremony at any time and issue an edict to the world. The latter is here to tell Qin Jiyan that tomorrow is an auspicious day, and if he misses it, he will have to wait half a month for the auspicious day.
.
In this way, Qin Jiyan did not need to speak, and the Minister of Rites requested that the enthronement ceremony be held tomorrow.
Qin Jiyan did not respond, and the Minister of Rites left sadly. But he turned around and the civil officials, headed by Mr. Feng, all knelt down to His Highness and requested that the new emperor hold a coronation ceremony tomorrow!
It was difficult to reject the warm invitation, so Qin Jiyan had to "reluctantly" agree to the courtier's request.
