Chapter 646 The confrontation above the main hall

Unlike the ritual of enthronement of the princess that was quite complicated when the Southern Wu founded, the ritual of enthronement of the princess in Northern Yan was quite simple at the beginning, just a ceremony after hunting. However, after more than a hundred years of establishment, the simplest procedures were now, but now the number of officials in the Han Dynasty has become more and more complex, and there are countless red tape.

Therefore, after getting up early in the morning to eat and go out, Yue Xiaosi, as the official envoy who holds the festival today, had to accept bombardment from various ritual officials like a puppet, and could not help but be extremely irritated.

However, even if the Yue family was ridiculed as a nouveau riche, it was still a family of officials. After he became sensible, his father had become an official, and at least he had such experience. I am sorry that Zhen Rong was already manipulated once when he was enthroned as King of Jin, and today he was tormented from beginning to end. When he met Yue Xiaosi, his face was completely blue.

Although the two men's crowns and uniforms are already extremely grand and straight, they can't find any mistakes at first glance. In the eyes of the ritual officials, this enthronement is still like a joke. Who has ever seen a prince as a prince who serves as a deputy envoy? Even if the two of them say they are adoptive fathers and adoptive sons, the elders and young people in this generation should succumb to the status quo, otherwise they will be replaced!

What's more, both of them have surnames Xiao, but not Ji! When did they enthrone the crown prince, they didn't even show up?

But after all, it was the reckless emperor of the Northern Yan Emperor, and the ritual officials could only complain and dare not say anything. When they surrounded these two hot relatives and nobles and entered the third prince's mansion, they saw that the third prince who was welcomed was thin and looked like they were not enough, and they couldn't help but feel that the emperor was really frivolous in his enthronement of the crown prince.

The third prince sent away the Twelve Princess and the Fourth Xiao Jingxian yesterday, and he had never had a good sleep all night. Even though he was thick and pink, it was hard to get away at the moment. Because of his childhood situation, he had always been a sensitive and thoughtful person. How could he not notice the strange expressions of several officials of the rituals? He was secretly angry in his heart and remembered these people, just thinking that they would know that they were powerful in the future.

However, after receiving the order and performing his tribute, he was about to set off to visit the emperor in the palace, but he did not find the opportunity to talk to Yue Xiaosi Zhen Rong.

Of course, he wanted to ask the eldest princess if she had a whereabouts, and if she had caught a possible rebel or something like that, she could only keep it in her heart.

On the way to the palace, the third prince, who was sitting in the Crown Prince's Golden Horse, was worried, afraid that an assassin would come out from somewhere, or a surprise soldier would rush out from the road to intercept him. But he walked all the way tremblingly until he entered the palace and was safe and sound. Seeing Xu Changhou personally led the imperial guards to guard, he breathed a deep breath and his heart was temporarily lost.

Even the new crown prince was treated equally in the face of the new rules that must be walked in the imperial city and the palace city. In the past, the third prince did not have this road, but he did not sleep well last night and woke up early because today's ceremony would definitely take a long time, so he dared not eat or drink. In addition, the glamorous but heavy crown prince's crown and uniform were worn on his body. When he barely walked to the gate of the palace, the third prince felt that his physical strength could not be supported and he could not breathe.

Knowing that he was not good at martial arts, his health was not mediocre, he couldn't help but feel a deep panic.

Could it be that others didn't take action against him? He calculated this accurately, so he dug an invisible trap for him to jump? He was already dizzy now, could he persist in going to the main hall to worship his father, and could he be treated by his ministers in the Eastern Palace?

Just as the third prince was shaking, he suddenly heard a small cough coming from his ear. When he looked at it again, he saw that Prince Xiao Changgong of Lanling County was standing in front of him at some point. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask for help, but he still didn't dare to say it. Then he saw a smiling face.

"Today, the ceremony was long and the burden was great. The emperor cared about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's hard work, but was assassinated by the murderer. He was seriously injured and died. So he gave a box of ginseng pills. Did the third prince forget to take it because he was nervous?"

As Yue Xiaosi said, he smiled and took a small box from his arms and handed it over: "It just so happened that the Twelve Princess gave me the box with me as a precaution. Lao Shan ginseng is a good thing. Although it is not as good as life and death, the prince's prince was seriously injured for a while, and should use it and raise his spirits."

At this time, the third prince felt as if he had been drought for a long time, so he hurriedly took it over and said with a smile: "Thanks to the thoughtful prince and the twelfth sister. I had been fighting between life and death a few days ago, and I... I have not recovered yet."

It is a privilege of the emperor and the crown prince to call it a solitary and widowed person, so the third prince’s change of words is not wrong. However, in the eyes of others, when he took the box, he quickly opened it and twisted a ginseng ball and sent it into his mouth, the weakness of his strength was already revealed.

Whether it is the Northern Yan Emperor on the throne now or the former crown prince, they are all people with outstanding force, so they are not optimistic about the third prince. At this time, there is another place to criticize the new crown prince.

With such a weak body, how can you rule the world in the future?

After Yue Xiaosi sent out the box of ginseng pills, he returned to his original position. Seeing Zhen Rong looking at him, he returned a look that made the other party feel at ease, and led the team forward calmly. After all, today, except for the new prince, he was the biggest.

Compared to the result of the third prince fainting on the way, giving a box of ginseng pills will make people see through the third prince's nature of being harsh and weak on the outside. He felt that this was simply insignificant. He did not expect to be a hero who was a dragon. He had already lived enough of such a life without a wife to accompany him!

Rather than saying that a box of ginseng pills really has such miraculous effects, it is better to say that after taking a ginseng pill, the third prince finally had some confidence at this moment, and his expression was nourished by the dual nourishment of ginseng and spirit, miraculously revealing a little bit of the previously undesired spirit.

At least when he entered the hall, the ministers who had been waiting long ago looked at the new crown prince who had emerged and found that they were energetic. Even if they could not be said to be a dragon and tiger step, they had at least a little momentum.

Compared with the down-and-out prince who was sent to the envoy of Nan Wu, the current third prince is indeed a complete transformation.

Unlike those ministers who were eager to see a few holes on the third prince, the Emperor Beiyan on the throne seemed a little lazy, and his careless expression was completely different from attending the ceremony of the country's foundation such as the enthronement of the crown prince. When the third prince lay down on the ground to worship the ceremony, he spoke on his own without waiting for the ritual officer to follow the procedures.

"I used to depose a prince, but now I have returned a new prince to you."

This is not like what a emperor said at all. It is like the coldest cold wind that swept through the huge hall in an instant. I don’t know how many officials who were originally in a hot mood were frozen into ice sculptures. Especially the left and right prime ministers who have always been called the left and right arm of the Northern Yan Emperor, even though they have always been disagreeable, they couldn’t help but exchange glances with each other and were very uneasy.

What does the emperor mean?

The third prince was also confused. He had just knelt three times and kowtowed nine times at this time. He was waiting for the ceremony to end. The father gave a few symbolic warnings, and then went to the East Palace to accept the worship of other brothers and ministers. But who would have thought that the father suddenly interrupted the procedure he should have and then said such a joke!

Even though he was afraid of the position of the prince falling from the sky, the humiliation of being played with like a monkey made him feel like a heart that was harshly pulled into a ball, and he wanted to pounce on him and question what the father, who had always been moody, wanted to do. However, he did not dare to, and even crawled on the ground and did not dare to move.

"I know that many people are not satisfied with this prince. Outside the hall, the soldiers who were supposed to be responsible for the guards were also mixed with countless sand. They just waited for the prince to go out from here and rushed forward and chopped him into meat sauce. Of course, it would be even better if I could kill the bloodthirsty and capricious I, by the way, would be even better."

If the cold wind just now had turned many ministers into ice sculptures that could not speak, then at this moment, these heart-killing words were like an ice snatched in the wind, hitting the ice sculptures, causing the frozen statues to break up in an instant. In just a moment, I don’t know how many ministers who originally had a perfect smile or were serious and dignified suddenly changed their faces.

In contrast, Yue Xiao, who had been prepared for a long time, was just a little surprised. He even had Yu Yu to look at Zhen Rong beside him, and asked softly at this moment when a needle fell to the ground was so silent that it could be clearly audible: "Which idiot actually wants to kill two birds with one stone at this time?"

Zhen Rong did not answer Yue Xiaosi's question, which was obviously not a question to him. Instead, he glanced at the ministers with a rebellious look. Seeing that many people were unconsciously shifting their gaze under his eyes, and some were glaring at him, he sneered and said lightly: "Since the emperor has exposed some people's strange tricks, then you all have to touch your head."

No one misunderstood the murderous intent in this sentence. Although the current King of Jin and the adopted son of Prince Lanling was once demoted to a cavalry slave by Emperor Beiyan, when Prince Xiao Changgong of Lanling was sent by the emperor to "suppress the rebellion", Zhen Rong and the guards who originally belonged to Xiao Jingxian were simply invincible. The rebels fell down like chopping melons and vegetables.

No one knows that the four words "rebellious" in the past, Zhen Rong had no choice. He was always a young master who was called gentle and jade. Now his personality has been tempered in Beiyan for nearly a year.

But people at least know that at this moment, if Zhen Rong and Xiao Changgong take action, how many people can save Xiang Shang's head? Not to mention, the emperor on the imperial throne also has a reputation. For those arts, I am afraid that the general who has experienced many battles may not be the opponent. The most important thing is...

The Emperor is the only one who can wear a sword in the main hall. This is the only rule that Beiyan has never changed since its founding!

Under Zhen Rong's threat, the palace was even more silent. Although the third prince kneeling on the ground had some confidence, he still did not dare to look up easily, let alone stand up, but just waited for his father's answer with breath. However, the emperor on the throne had not spoken yet, a sharp voice that he could never forget came from here.

"My head is on my neck, who dares to come and get it?"

The ministers in the hall hurriedly looked at the sounds. When they recognized the person, the ones who were close and the ones who were far away could not help but whispered. The sound was originally very small, but the hall was filled with hundreds of people, and some of them were not seen, and they couldn't help asking. In the end, the noisy discussion was almost like a vegetable market.

Because the one who came was the big princess!

Although she was wearing a man's official uniform, she lifted her hat off at this moment, revealing her hair, and facing everyone with a true face without makeup. Naturally, the eldest princess had no intention of hiding her head and showing her tail. She held her head up to the center of the hall, looked down at the third prince who had not yet stood up, and sneered contemptuously.

"What is he worthy of being the prince? In terms of origin, his mother is just a humble palace maid; in terms of ranking, he is neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son; even if he put aside all his abilities, he would have the ability to escape from Nanwu with his tail and save his life from the assassination along the way? He was just a dog who could only kneel on the ground and wag his tail, so why did he enter the Eastern Palace?"

This expressed the voices of many ministers. However, no one dared to agree at this moment, only countless eyes quietly turned to the emperor, as well as the king of Lanling County, Xiao Changgong, who was the chief and deputy envoy today, and Xiao Rong, the king of Jin. However, Xiao Changgong and Xiao Rong, both Xiao Rong and his son, seemed to be indifferent to their own affairs, and the other was cold and frost on their faces, but no one said anything.

The person who answered the question of the eldest princess was not someone else, but the emperor who sat upright like a bell on the imperial throne at this time.

"In terms of origin, I was just born to ordinary palace people. In terms of ranking, I was neither the legitimate nor the eldest. In terms of talent and ability... Haha, I remember, who was not my brothers who were worshipped by countless ministers who said that there were few in heaven and earth in heaven?

He choked back the words of the eldest princess intact. Seeing that her face was extremely embarrassed, Emperor Beiyan said lightly: "You look down on his younger brother. I used to pretend that I didn't see or hear. What I believe is that people should struggle out of the sludge with their own strength, and those who do not have that ability deserve it!"

"On the envoy to Nanwu, none of your younger brothers would like to do it, so he was the only one who came out to push the tank. Even if he was thrown in Jinling by Lou Yingchang, he still came back! Maybe he looks like a dog now, how could you know that it is not a wolf who is waiting to tear open your throat and feed on your flesh and blood!"

He was compared to a wolve. Perhaps this was a scolding and insulting in Nanwu, but it was a praise in Beiyan. The third prince unknowingly stood up straight. Although he was still kneeling on the ground for a long time, he seemed to have been injected with a spirit, and he no longer had the confusion and shock and anger that had just happened. He even turned his head slightly and glanced at the eldest princess, and for the first time in his life he had regained the courage to compete with the other party.

He is already the prince, why should he be afraid of such a princess who is obviously in trouble?

The eldest princess didn't expect that her father would really speak for such a younger brother she had never taken seriously. After being stunned and stunned, she found that the third prince's eyes were a little provocative. She couldn't help but shouted in shock and anger: "This is simply ridiculous! Dragon gives birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and dogs give birth to dogs, how could it be a wolf!"

"Don't forget that his biological mother is not a noble man, but his father is me!" The emperor finally stood up. He was already a man who knew his destiny. But at the highest point of the entire hall, the aura of a deep and shady Yuezhi came to his face, making all the ministers dare not look directly at him.
