No one dares to fool the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, not to mention that the people below have made preparations in advance, even if they haven't, it must be done within one day.
"Your Majesty, tomorrow's enthronement ceremony will definitely be held as scheduled." The Minister of Rites assured him again and again.
"Your Majesty, the eight hundred embroidery girls of the embroidery bureau will start work at the same time. They will definitely be able to embroider the dragon robe before dawn tomorrow." Everything is ready, but the dragon robe is the most troublesome.
Even if there was an imperial edict from the old emperor before, no one dared to prepare a dragon robe for His Highness Qin in private. Now that His Highness Qin is about to ascend the throne tomorrow, this dragon robe will naturally have to be made in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, several tutors are already preparing the sacrificial inscriptions for tomorrow's ceremony."
"Your Majesty, the entire city has been under martial law since yesterday, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Your Majesty, the general has arranged for people to strictly guard the Ancestral Temple and will never allow suspicious persons to sneak into the Ancestral Temple."
…
His Highness Qin's succession to the throne was too sudden, and the preparations for the enthronement ceremony were too sudden. Many ministers were not prepared in advance. Even Lord Feng was in a hurry, but His Highness Qin was as calm as ever.
After hearing the progress reports from various ministries and departments one by one, Qin Jiyan made orderly arrangements and made reasonable arrangements. He did not feel any discomfort at all as he had just become emperor, nor was he proud of being crowned a great treasure.
Because of this calm attitude, all the courtiers became more confident in Qin Jiyan's succession to the throne.
Under the leadership of the new emperor, Great Qin will definitely become stronger!
With this belief, everyone went about their errands more actively, just like Qin Jiyan could lead the Great Qin to destroy the Northern Qi and the Western Hu just after the enthronement ceremony.
From morning to night, there was no one around Qin Jiyan. This group of ministers had just entered the palace, and the next group of ministers were waiting outside. Everyone had a lot of things to report to Qin Jiyan, and a lot of loyal requests.
surface.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Qin Jiyan to even have a hot meal, let alone go back to Prince Qin's Mansion to see Qian Cheng.
Being an emperor has been a high-intensity job since ancient times, especially for those who want to be a wise emperor.
Finally at night, Qin Jiyan was able to have a good rest and have a mouthful of hot rice. The eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has been on a diet since this morning and refuses to eat no matter how much I persuade him."
The old emperor has automatically become the supreme emperor. The people in the palace are all human beings. There is no need for Qin Jiyan to say anything. He has changed his tune long ago.
"What do you want from the Supreme Emperor?" Qin Jiyan took the handkerchief from the eunuch and wiped his face.
He knew that there was no need to eat this meal today.
"The Emperor said that he wants to see His Majesty." The eunuch lowered his head and said cautiously.
"Let's go." Even though there were people of his own both inside and outside the palace, Qin Jiyan still didn't keep the old emperor waiting.
The old emperor had only a few days left to live, so why not play the role of a virtuous son and a filial grandson to the end, so that the censors would not be tempted to criticize him or use this as an excuse to make excuses.
The old emperor lived in the main hall, and it only took Qin Jiyan a quarter of an hour to walk there from the office. When Qin Jiyan left, he asked the eunuch to pass the meal to him. When Qin Jiyan entered the palace, the eunuch also brought the old emperor's meal.
Come in.
Qin Jiyan walked into the palace, waved his hand to signal everyone in the palace to leave, and then stepped forward and said: "Grandpa Huang, I heard from the eunuch serving you that you refuse to eat? Is it because you are not satisfied with the food or the service?
Are your people not doing their best?"
The old emperor was sitting on the head of the bed. When he heard Qin Jiyan speak, he turned around and glanced at him. His cloudy eyes had no sparkle. In just one day, the old emperor became much more haggard.
"Grandpa Huang, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Qin Jiyan stepped forward and said with a worried look on his face.
At this time, even if all the civil and military ministers were present, they still had to say "filial piety to the new emperor".
"Ji Yan, where is Situ?" the old emperor said, his voice weak and weak, completely devoid of his usual spirit and superiority.
Qin Jiyan bent down and adjusted the backrest for the old emperor, "Grandpa, don't worry, Eunuch Situ is very good. I'm going to ask him some questions. If I ask him clearly, I'll have him sent over." If I didn't ask him clearly, I'm sorry.
Yes, Eunuch Situ will never appear.
"You have ascended the throne, and all the civil and military officials support you. Do you still need to guard against me?" The old emperor was depressed and his tone was low. He did not have the domineering power of a generation of emperors. Just hearing this voice made people sad, not to mention that it was worthy of him.
The aging face of the old emperor.
"Grandpa Huang, you know that my grandson has never been a Canadian person. I like to be safe." Qin Jiyan picked up the hot porridge placed on the bedside and sat beside the old emperor, "Grandpa Huang, you
You haven't eaten for a day, so I asked the people in the imperial kitchen to cook fish porridge for you, would you like some?"
Qin Jiyan personally cooled the porridge and handed it to the old emperor's mouth, but the old emperor was stubborn and turned around and said, "I won't eat it."
"Grandpa Emperor, Imperial Physician, your body is very weak. If you don't eat, where will your energy come from?" Qin Jiyan was not angry and patiently held up the spoon.
"Lack of energy, isn't that what you want? I'm going to die, and without a supreme emperor weighing on you, wouldn't your throne be more secure?" The old emperor turned his head and looked at Qin Jiyan coldly.
He repeatedly told himself that he had to face reality, but he still couldn't help but get angry when he saw Qin Jiyan.
It was too fast, everything happened too fast, he didn't even understand what was going on, he was imprisoned by Qin Jiyan, he didn't even understand why Qin Jiyan took action?
Isn't he good enough for Ji Yan?
Ji Yan really wanted to be the emperor, and he was on the Zen throne at that time. Why did Ji Yan refuse?
"Grandpa Emperor, why do you need to be angry with your body? I will hold the enthronement ceremony tomorrow. By then... no matter what happens, I will be the emperor." Therefore, if the old emperor really wants to die, it will be in vain, unless the old emperor really wants to die.
The emperor made up his mind to commit suicide now, but...
So what if the old emperor commits suicide now? The weather is not hot now. If he wants to hide the news of the old emperor's death, it will only take a minute.
"Tomorrow? So soon? Have you already prepared to seize the throne?" The old emperor stared at Qin Jiyan with wide eyes, and raised his hand to wave away Qin Jiyan's hand.
The porridge on the spoon spilled on the quilt. Qin Jiyan glanced at it, put the fish porridge down calmly, and said in a good temper: "Grandpa Emperor, the Ministry of Rites has prepared for the enthronement ceremony." In other words, the Ministry of Rites has already prepared.
, I just didn’t tell the old emperor.
"Okay, okay, you are really good! It turns out that you have been prepared for today." The old emperor gasped with anger, but Qin Jiyan had no intention of stepping forward to help him.
Qin Jiyan stood up and said: "Grandpa Huang, you have misunderstood me. I have no intention of taking over the throne as soon as I return to Beijing." He originally planned to take over the throne in two days, at least to get things in order in the capital first.
It's a pity that the old emperor didn't give him time.
"What do you mean?" Since there is no plan to succeed, what was the purpose of everything Jiyan did yesterday?
"Grandpa Huang, I just want to tell you that you forced me to get to where I am today." Qin Jiyan said the last five words very slowly, very slowly...
