When Jia Ke walked out, he happened to meet the third prince who was surrounded by a group of people. When the third prince saw Jia Ke coming, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jia Ke's hand affectionately. "Brother, why haven't you come to me since you returned to Beijing?"
Let’s take a look at the house? Our two families should be more closely related to each other by marriage.”
Jia Ke also handed over his hand and said perfunctorily: "What the third prince said is very true. It's just that I am deeply favored by the emperor and the state affairs are complicated, so I don't have time to visit the palace. I also ask the third prince to forgive me. I will definitely help you with all my heart from now on. Remember
The Emperor’s kindness.”
Jia Ke's words directly pushed the third prince into the corner. Jia Ke said that he would try his best to assist him, but he must remember the emperor's kindness. Who is this emperor? It is naturally self-evident. What happens next
What else can the two sides talk about?
The two chatted for a few more words and said a few polite words, but the conversation didn't add up, so they went their separate ways.
The third prince looked at Jia Ke's leaving figure with dark clouds in his eyes. He originally wanted to temporarily establish a good relationship with Jia Ke to paralyze him, and at the same time alienate his relationship with the old emperor. If he could really paralyze hyperthyroidism, let him get close to him.
His side was better, and he would use Jia Ke's power to regain power, and then deal with this powerful minister. Unexpectedly, Jia Ke followed the old prince wholeheartedly, and seemed to be a loyal minister and good general, which made him unable to speak.
Jia Ke left the palace and went directly back to Rongguo Mansion. The group of old and young men in Rongguo Mansion were still waiting for news about him.
After Jia Ke returned to Rongguo Mansion, he immediately walked to Jia Mu's courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a maid greeted him and took him to Jia Mu's door, and then exited the courtyard.
Jia Ke entered Jia Mu's room. When everyone heard this, they had been waiting for him for a long time. As soon as Jia Ke entered the room, they all focused their eyes on him.
Jia Ke still paid tribute to the elders one by one, and then leisurely told everyone what happened in the court today.
After everyone listened, they found that it was similar to what they had thought before. It seemed that it was a foregone conclusion that the third prince would inherit the throne.
Everyone discussed it for a while and felt that it would be better to follow the previous method.
After the business was finished, Jia Zhen announced something to everyone. His son Jia Rong had decided to get married on the 15th of next month and invited everyone to have a drink together.
Everyone felt that it was sudden. They had never heard such news before, so why did they suddenly get married.
Although everyone was puzzled, this was a family matter of the Ning Guo Mansion after all. Although the Ning Rong Mansion and the Ning Rong Mansion had close contacts, they were not a family after all, so they could not ask too much. So everyone just congratulated Jia Zhen and said a few words,
I just put this matter behind me.
In a blink of an eye, February 16th came, and the old emperor, along with the three princes and ministers of civil and military affairs, went to the Temple of Heaven to worship God.
The specific process of reporting to heaven that he abdicated as the Supreme Emperor and abdicated the throne to the third prince was very cumbersome. The emperor began preparations in the early morning and did not arrive at the Temple of Heaven until almost noon. When he was reading the sacrificial text at the Temple of Heaven, many ministers discovered that the emperor
His body was shaky, and it seemed that he really couldn't hold on anymore.
After the old emperor returned to the palace, the first thing he did was to move from Yangxin Palace to Ci'en Palace. From today on, the new emperor will occupy the two important places of Qianqing Palace and Yangxin Palace. He will only wait for the enthronement ceremony to be completed.
A legitimate emperor.
Since it is not after the death of the emperor that the new emperor succeeds to the throne, there is no filial piety period. After worshiping at the Temple of Heaven, the enthronement ceremony will be held three days later.
In the context of the feudal dynasty, the enthronement ceremony was undoubtedly the most important event in the country, so detailed arrangements and regulations were made for this in the feudal etiquette system.
In Jia Ke's view, this was a total hassle. Everyone gathered in front of Tiananmen before dawn. As soon as it got light, officials from the Ministry of Rites first went to the Temple of Heaven, the Altar of Agriculture, and the Imperial Ancestral Temple to inform their ancestors. Then they dressed in clothes
After the emperor in yellow uniform ascended the Tiananmen Gate Tower, the enthronement ceremony officially began.
The officials who had been waiting in front of Tiananmen for a long time were all dressed in court uniforms. Under the guidance of officials from the "Honglu Temple", they entered the Forbidden City through the Jinshui Bridge. However, they could not enter the "Fengtian Temple" at this time because the emperor was still on the Fengtian Gate.
To pray, the ministers could only stay in the square outside the Meridian Gate.
They knelt on both sides of the imperial road in the "Wen Dong Wu Xi" manner, and came down from "Tiananmen" after the emperor had communicated with the gods.
After all the sacrificial rituals were completed on the Tiananmen Gate Tower, the new emperor came down from the Tiananmen Gate Tower and entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Only then did the ministers file in according to their official rank.
After the ministers entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they saw that the Hall of Supreme Harmony was different from the past. The Supreme Emperor was high on the throne of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the new emperor only had a seat beside the throne to sit calmly.
All the ministers hurriedly kowtowed to the two Supreme Beings and performed three kowtows and nine bows. Next came the most important part of the coronation ceremony, when the new emperor accepted the jade seal. However, while the ceremony was in full swing, something happened that surprised everyone.
Unexpectedly, the Supreme Emperor has yet to hand over the jade seal to the current emperor.
At this time, the ministers below were in a bit of a dilemma, and our new emperor was also dumbfounded. Seeing that the new emperor was about to become the "Emperor without Treasures", all the ministers could only kneel down together to advise the emperor, and beg him
The Supreme Emperor cooperated with the ceremony and handed over the jade seal.
However, the Supreme Emperor remained silent above the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The ministers had no choice but to look at Jia Ke, hoping that Jia Ke, a close minister of the Supreme Emperor, would come forward and say a few words.
Jia Ke stood there as if the matter had nothing to do with him. The Emperor had his own decision on what to do, which was not something that he, a minister, could decide.
Finally, Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu, stepped forward, knelt down on the battlefield, and tried hard to comfort the Supreme Emperor. Only then did the Supreme Emperor's expression relax.
Other ministers were also playing tricks on the side, which made the Supreme Emperor reluctantly hand over the jade seal. Although the Supreme Emperor gave the jade seal, it was the emperor's ordinary twenty-five-square seal. The most important one was given by Jia Ke from Tartar.
The emperor did not hand over the imperial seal that was taken back from the Tao people.
When the ministers saw this situation, they hurried forward to try to persuade them. But before they could say anything, the Supreme Emperor spoke, "This imperial seal will be used to mobilize the world's troops from now on, and appoint and remove third-rank officials."
The above-mentioned officials are in charge of me personally. Do you have any other opinions?"
The ministers here were speechless for a moment when they heard what the Supreme Emperor said. The Supreme Emperor made it clear at the beginning of his succession that he would still be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and officials of third rank and above would also be appointed and dismissed by him personally.
, now the Supreme Emperor left the imperial seal as a token of trust, it is completely reasonable to say.
So this time the coronation ceremony ended hastily. Since the last imperial seal was not given to the emperor, it can be said that the current emperor does not have much power and all depends on the emperor's face.
Then the capital returned to calm, as if nothing had changed. It was just that the emperor had changed, but the power was still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor.
Jia Ke also continued to be the foreman of his Military Aircraft Department with a clear conscience, and was not dismissed by the new emperor as some people thought.
Although several other military aircraft ministers defected to the new emperor and worked together to check and balance Jia Ke, Jia Ke, as the foreman of military aircraft, had a power that even the emperor was very afraid of. That is, Jia Ke could refute the emperor at any time.
The imperial edict. Just relying on this right left the other military ministers with nothing to do, and almost all memorials had to be approved by Jia Ke before they could be issued.
What the new emperor hoped to see, Jia Ke's power was restricted because of his accession to the throne, did not appear. Instead, because the Supreme Emperor was afraid of the emperor, Jia Ke's power was invisibly further improved.
Jia Ke himself was also afraid of making the Supreme Emperor suspicious, so he did not win over the court ministers and cultivate his own power like many powerful officials did, as if he was alone now.
This time, the overall situation of the court has been stabilized, and the Supreme Emperor is still in power. The new emperor can only tolerate it temporarily and work hard to win over the ministers in the court to expand his power. He is also thinking about when to implement Pan Yong's strategy and control the Jingying Jiedu Envoy.
Get started with this position.
Jia Ke stood aside, appearing to be a loyal minister of the Supreme Emperor, but in fact he was sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight. He only had the opportunity to show off his skills when the Supreme Emperor died of illness.
The new emperor also retaliated against Jia Ke for constraining him in government affairs. That is, when he divided the concubines after he ascended the throne, he only gave Jia Yuanchun the title of concubine, compared to the title of his concubine when he was in the third prince's house.
Title, this title is simply an insult to her. Many people who used to salute and kowtow to her have now achieved high positions, and in turn she has to salute others. Now in the palace, there are six or seven people above her, and her
There are about a dozen equals, and those equal to her are all people who were not prominent in the third prince's house in the past.
After Mrs. Wang heard the news in her mansion, she called Aunt Zhou to come and tidied her up for a few days.
As a result, in the first month after the new emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager's decree came to the Jia family. The general content was that because of Aunt Zhou's meritorious service in educating Jia Ke, Aunt Zhou was granted the title of Liupin Anren. So far, Aunt Zhou's status was in Jia Ke's favor.
The palace was completely established. From then on, she was only lower than Mrs. Wang. She was already a true royal wife, and Mrs. Wang could not deal with her casually.
In the Jia family, with the example of Aunt Zhou, the competition among the maids became more intense. Not to mention Jia Ke, just the four original dowry maids of Wang Xifeng in Jia Lian's house. Except for Ping'er, who was somewhat scheming and knew how to be patient.
In addition, the other three were vying to climb into Jia Lian's bed. Wang Xifeng found out and beat two to death and drove away one. Only then did he suppress the woman in front of Jia Lian.
But this incident made Jia Lian very unhappy. The current Rongguo Mansion is not the Rongguo Mansion in Dream of Red Mansions that only knew how to rest on its laurels. Who in the world should not look at the eyes of their mansion now? In Jia Lian's view, Wang Xifeng is simply
The unreasonable trouble was just to rely on his uncle and not take him seriously. But he didn't think about the fact that his brother Jia Ke was the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department. How could the current Rongguo Mansion allow her to be so presumptuous, so the two of them were ruthless.
They had a fierce quarrel, but Wang Xifeng was sharp-tongued and Jia Lian was no match. In the end, he was so angry that he lived in the study for more than ten days before being forced by Jia Mu to move back to the courtyard. From then on, the couple lived happily ever after.
There is a knot in the heart.
A happy event was also held in Ningguo Mansion, that is, Jia Rong got married.
Jia Ke also took Qin Keqing to Jia Rong's wedding. This wedding was really lively, surpassing the weddings of Jia Ke and Jia Zhu. Jia Zhen was busy in it, and Jia Rong was happy and beaming.
Little did he know that there was a big hidden danger hidden in it.
