Chapter 877: Upright East Palace
For today's matter, Xu Qing naturally sent a fast horse messenger to the capital of Chu State.
Now that Li Mingyue has moved back to live in the palace, there must be a lot of people in the embassy. Li Mingyue is now the eldest princess, and it would be bad if any rumors spread.
When Li Mingyue returned to the palace, she could choose any good palace at will, even if she wanted to live in the Taiji Palace, it would be no problem, but in the end Li Mingyue chose the Chenlu Palace.
The name of the Hall of Morning Dew sounds more elegant.
Li Xun also let her go.
This palace is just Li Mingyue's temporary residence, and she will move in sooner or later when the Princess Mansion is completed.
Now that the New Year's Eve is approaching and the roads are cold and slippery in winter, Xu Qing and Xiao Ye may not have time to rush home to celebrate the New Year, so they can only deal with it once in Zhou Kingdom.
But even if it is to deal with it, there are still necessary procedures.
Fireworks and the like are a must, as well as making dumplings and cooking New Year’s Eve dinner.
Although you are outside, you can still have fun.
The capital of Zhou State started to prepare for the New Year's Eve early, and every household decorated with lanterns and festoons, and bought new year's goods.
There is no curfew in the capital during the New Year's Eve, and this is also a rare free night for the people in a year.
The letter from Xu Qing to Chu State was also sent to the capital of Chu State on New Year's Day, along with Xu Qing's and Xiao Ye's family letters.
If I can't go back, I have to give my family an explanation.
Chu Palace
Royal Study Room
Originally, King Xian and the Kingdom of Chu were going to go home for the New Year's Eve dinner, but Zhou Lai's urgent report made them come to the Royal Study Room to deal with state affairs again.
Chu Huang and Xian Wang gathered beside the imperial case and opened the letter.
The Xian King smiled and said, "The two of them are quite capable. Let them go to Zhou State as an envoy, and the emperor has changed. Today, I finally received a letter. This King wants to see what they have gone through."
Emperor Chu nodded and said, "I'm also very curious. Li Zong is not a foolish emperor, but calm and scheming. How could he be dethroned by an uncrowned heir? What's hidden in this?"
Naturally, what Xu Qing sent this time was not a simple draft contract, but a record of everything they saw and heard in Zhou Kingdom.
It is not easy for the two countries to spread the news openly, and the cost is extremely high, so naturally they bring everything they can.
These days Li Xun complained to Xu Qing frequently, and Xu Qing also understood how Li Xun came to be the emperor, so naturally he wrote it down and reported it to the Emperor Chu.
But when Chu Huangfan saw the description of Li Xun usurping the throne, he couldn't help but fell into silence, and his face was full of disbelief.
King Xian looked at the stunned Emperor Chu and asked, "Why are you so dumb?"
The Emperor of Chu said in a daze: "After twenty years of layout and a palace change, I didn't expect to be able to be in such a Zen position. It's a pity! It's a pity!"
King Xian looked at the Emperor Chu who was about to cry, and said inexplicably, "You don't have military power, what's your pity?"
It was only then that Emperor Chu came to his senses, and suddenly realized, "That's right, it's also..."
But soon, Emperor Chu became even more sad!
Yes, military power!
If he had military power, would he still need to spend twenty years cultivating a son?
He can immediately take the emperor brother beside him to be the emperor!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chu slapped the table: "I can't bear it anymore, I'm going to draw up an order!"
King Xian looked at the Emperor Chu who was striding out and asked in doubt, "What purpose are you planning?"
The Emperor of Chu gritted his teeth and said, "I just said that I was in poor health, so I went to seal the crown prince of Jian Guo! Anyway, now Chu's biggest enemy is gone, and it will not be able to fight with Zhou Guo for fifteen years! Basically nothing will happen. It's a big deal, it doesn't matter if the emperor is here or not."
King Xian looked at the back of Emperor Chu leaving, thought for a while and still didn't say anything.
My Little Brother has been forced by me for more than ten years, and it is really not appropriate to push me any further.
Let him go, I am still busy going to have the New Year's Eve dinner with Wang Hao and Xue'er.
Feng Wang Mansion
King Feng was sitting in front of the table at this time, enjoying a table of own food. There were several round tables in the lobby of King Feng's Mansion, on which sat some guards of higher status in King Feng's Mansion.
Although this year has made him very unhappy, King Xin is unreliable, and King Feng is also bad.
But he doesn't need to be discouraged, it's a new beginning after today.
Tomorrow is next year.
Be sure to let yourself have a new look in Fengwangfu!
Thinking of this, King Feng's ambition surged up again, and when he was about to raise his glass to drink with many servants of Prince Feng's mansion, a voice sounded outside: "The imperial decree has arrived!"
Everyone present was a little puzzled, there is also an imperial decree for the New Year's Eve?
King Feng was also curious, isn't it the rule of Chu that one should enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Wen'an only after Zishi?
What decree is coming at this moment?
But before he had time to think about it, King Feng stood up together with everyone and walked to the door of the lobby, knelt down respectfully and said, "Your servant accepts the order."
Wei Zhong spread out the imperial decree and said, "The edict says..."
As soon as these two words were pronounced, King Feng had a bad premonition.
Restriction, declared to all officials, used when expressing the emperor's grace, the common people don't need to know. If you really want to do something during the Chinese New Year, such as rewarding yourself with something, then just use restraint.
The edict said that it meant admonition, and it was mostly used to warn officials to fulfill their duties when they were promoted, and to be an honest official must not be corrupt and pervert the law. I guess I have no chance to use my status. To be promoted to the first-level emperor, those who have no rank are not considered to be promoted.
The imperial edict, to announce to the world, is more serious. As soon as the edict comes out, basically the whole country will receive news. If King Feng is not good, it is not good because of these two words. This edict will not come out several times throughout the year. what!
Why did you say it?
But King Feng didn't have time to think about it, so Eunuch Wei continued to read: "Since I ascended the throne, the most important tasks of every country have been to employ people and administer them well, and I dare not relax until I am tired of working hard... Today King Feng Xiaozhi is quick-witted and quick-witted. It belongs to the will of God, I abide by the first edict, carry out the ceremonies, and obey the public opinion, I sincerely tell the world, the ancestral temple, and the country, grant the book of treasures, make him the crown prince, and take the seat of the East Palace, to honor the rule of thousands of years, and to flourish the world Heart! I am sick and unable to do what I want, thinking about all the opportunities in a day can not last long, I order the crown prince to hold the seal and ascend the Wenhua Palace, divide the affairs of the common people, and supervise the army and supervise the country. All the things played by the ministers are inspired by the crown prince's decision So, here we go!"
After Eunuch Wei finished reading, he looked at Xiao Zhi with a smile and said, "His Royal Highness, accept the order..."
At this moment, Xiao Zhi's eyes were full of horror, his face was bloodless, and his lips trembled slightly: "My son... my son accepts the order."
Eunuch Wei looked at the servants around him and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Now the guards of the servants immediately bowed and cupped fist and said: "See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
With a pale face, Xiao Zhi waved his hands and said, "Go! Go! Go! Let me be alone!"
The guard on the side reminded: "His Royal Highness should call himself the palace..."
"roll!"
