For thousands of years, the most important thing on this vast continent has been the inheritance of the throne.

The dragon chair is always accompanied by overt and covert fights, swords and swords, and even resorting to all possible means. What's more, there is a bloody storm. If you stand in the wrong position, countless people will fall to the ground.

The elders of the common people in the capital still remember the autumn seventeen years ago, when countless high-ranking families were destroyed before and after that bloody night. The situation at that time was such that everyone was in danger.

The Kaiping Dynasty seemed to be far away from those dangerous storms. Until the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince, there was no discordant sound in the government and the public.

The reason is that the second prince, who is most promising to compete for the position of crown prince, has already withdrawn sadly, and the sixth prince has never been publicly mentioned by the court officials. As for the two newly grown up princes, the ninth prince and the eleventh prince, they are naturally only qualified to watch.

Since no one can compete with him, Liu Xian's position is very stable.

On May 17th, the sky was overcast and the summer breeze was slightly cool.

All the officials in the Qintian Prison were on tenterhooks, fearing His Majesty's thunderous wrath. After all, this was the most important event of the dynasty, but it was held in such depressing weather.

Fortunately, Emperor Kaiping never criticized his courtiers on such matters, and never showed any concern from the beginning to the end.

Starting from the 17th, Kyoto will be under martial law for three consecutive days.

Can the hundred scenes of the prosperous age described by Pei Yue appear?

Liu Xian was not absolutely sure, but he just wanted to keep doing it down-to-earth.

After the acceptance and thank you ceremonies are completed tomorrow, and the Crown Prince Ceremony will be held at the Imperial Ancestral Temple the day after tomorrow, the imperial court will make the imperial edict of appointing the Crown Prince known to the world, and Liu Xian's position as Crown Prince will be unquestionable.

Looking at the thin and thin old man below, Luo Ting couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and he felt deep sadness in his heart.

When he thought of this, he knelt down on the ground with even more humility and reverence.

Luo Ting's loud voice echoed in the hall, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.

The crows of Taishitai Pavilion, under the command of Jing Chu, the head of the Kun Department, deployed controls throughout the east, west and south cities to prevent anyone from interfering with the country's grand ceremony.

At this point, the ceremony is complete.

At three o'clock in the morning, in the long night, the eldest prince Liu Xian, wearing a crimson robe, arrived at Jianzhang Palace in advance under the protection of all the prince's officials. This place is often called the East Palace, and it is also where Liu Xian lived before he succeeded to the throne. .

Luo Ting continued to recite the imperial edict: "There is a country as a family, a king as a father, righteousness as the two poles, and the ties between all nations. What is good is not virtuous, what is evil is not sycophancy, what behavior is not Tao, what respect is not punishment. Don't be arrogant when you are in a superior position. Don't follow the advice, and show your virtue, but cherish the eternal plan. If you bow with me to say goodbye to Yang, you can't be careful! The ceremony for establishing the crown prince will be held in the Taimiao Temple in two days. In the presence of all the concubines and princes in the harem, The princess, the crown prince, the princess, officials at all levels, and all the common people came to watch the ceremony! In the summer of the seventeenth year of Kaiping."

For Luo Ting, he suddenly understood the reason why Emperor Kaiping kept the old man forcibly. He thought that after the Yanping Conference was over and Wang Pingzhang resigned, the old man could truly withdraw from the court. Because of this, Mo Hao After Li confirmed the emperor's thoughts, he did not hand over the beggar's bones again.

That's fine too.

Emperor Kaiping said gently: "Pingshen."

He seemed to be preoccupied.

Mo Haoli didn't squint his eyes and said silently in his heart: "Your Majesty, I can only accompany you till here."

After Liu Xian kowtowed heavily, he stood up to receive the order.

Ten days ago, Luo Ting, the right-hand governor of Dongfu, completed the sacrifice process according to Emperor Kaiping's order. He had already issued an edict to heaven and earth, the country and the ancestors, and obtained their consent and permission. It was legally established that the eldest prince Liu Xian was appointed as the crown prince. the basis of.

Liu Xian did not accept the imperial edict immediately, but looked up at Emperor Kaiping, holding back his sobs and said: "My dear father, I thank you for your grace!"

Luo Ting's eyes always stayed on the imperial edict, and he did not notice that there was a person in the palace who seemed to be distracted. That was Hou Guliang of Guangping, who had known him for decades. However, when he saw his eyes looking at the gold bricks on the ground, he changed his mind from the past.

of calmness.

Even though he had practiced countless times in private, when the day actually came, Liu Xian still couldn't hide his excitement.

Luo Ting put away the imperial edict and then walked forward slowly.

Xiao Jin, the first-class Marquis of Xiangcheng, was in charge of the defense of the nine gates, and all the elite garrison divisions were deployed to conduct strict checks on everyone entering and exiting the city gates.

For some reason, the excitement in Liu Xian's heart suddenly subsided a little. He couldn't help but raise his head slightly and looked at the middle-aged man above, tears gradually appearing in his eyes.

Emperor Kaiping suppressed his reverie, and then nodded slightly towards Luo Ting, who was standing on the left.

Wang Pingzhang looked calm and glanced at Liu Xian, who was showing his true feelings not far away. He felt as if time had returned to seventeen years ago.

Luan Yiwei was hiding under the water, and the deputy commander Chen An accompanied Emperor Kaiping.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of many past events. He had grown up under the care of his father, the emperor, his mother and his concubine. He had been ignorant for a long time, until the appearance of Pei Yue gradually woke him up. That day in Qinyuan

The long conversation not only gave him a glimpse of Pei Yue's ideals, but also made him understand the responsibilities that a king of a country needs to shoulder.

The edict to appoint a prince should be read out by the head of the civil service. Mo Haoli dragged his old body into the palace today, but gave this opportunity to benefit future generations to Luo Ting. He naturally won the respect of all civil and military officials, which also shows that he has spent the past year

My intention to resign and return home is extremely firm.

"To establish an heir, to respect the foundation of the country, so to inherit the utensils and to guard the utensils, so to inherit the cultural heritage, to respect the previous precepts, and to be regular at times. I surpass my ancestors and enjoy the wealth of heaven. I have lived in the house for nine years, and I have been celebrating for hundreds of millions of years.

I give it to one person, and the preface is Pi Gou. He is the ancestor of the great warriors, he is the leader of the branch, he has no boundaries, and he has no boundaries but sympathy. He has such a heavy load, he is diligent and hard-working, and he will always cherish his heirs and training, and he will be the deputy king."

After receiving Emperor Kaiping's signal, Luo Ting calmed down and began to read out the edict of registration in his hand.

"Liu Xian, the eldest son of Emperor Zi'er, has a spirit from his body. He has inherited virtues from the saints. His teachings are deep and profound, and his Qi leaves blow copper. He has achieved great success early. He disdains young ambitions. His gentleness is due to heaven. His filial piety to friends is due to nature. His talisman is brilliant.

, the utensil industry is Yingyuan, Yuan Yingxishe, actually sent to Weicheng, since the Ming Dynasty has stopped, the earthquake position is empty palace, the virtue of the land is respectable, the people and gods belong to each other, the style Ji Ling Dian, carrying the Huan badge, this is the book for you

Crown Prince."

Emperor Kaiping sat facing south, looking at the important ministers in the palace one by one, from Mo Haoli to Wang Pingzhang, to Gu Liang and the others, he sighed softly in his heart.

The past is like a dream, and thinking about the future is like a lifetime ago.

That year, Kaiping Emperor Liu Zheng regarded him as an elder brother. The two talked about everything and spent countless long nights describing Daliang's eternal foundation.

The past is over.

Li Zi, the Marquis of Hejian, personally led the imperial army and inspected all corners of the North City, especially the palace and the Ancestral Temple. All palace residents and internal prisons were under strict surveillance.

It's a pity that Pei Yue is not present, and he probably will not return to Kyoto until the end of the Yanping hunting expedition.

At the second quarter of Mao hour, as the sun was about to rise, Emperor Kaiping rode in an imperial chariot and drove to the Zhang Palace, accompanied by all the ministers in purple and purple robes.

…

After sunset, Zuo Lingchen of Taishitai Pavilion returned to the empty mansion slightly tiredly and went straight to the study room in the back house.

There was a young woman in the study, holding a volume of ancient books in her hands, her expression calm and indifferent.

It's as if the beauty has gone away, and it's not as cold and aloof as it used to be.
