"My ministers are not in the capital hall to discuss state affairs, and are not in Funing Hall to protect the emperor. Why are you here in Qingning Palace?" the queen inside the curtain asked softly.

As the Prime Minister of the Left, Wang Gui held the jade bag and reluctantly stepped forward to bow: "Your Majesty the Queen: I am here to respectfully invite the prince to move to the Funing Hall!"

Moving the palace is the first step to confirm the reserve position.

Because this means that the ministers have determined that only this prince has the right to inherit!

This was unimaginable in other dynasties.

But it is a tradition formed in the Song Dynasty from the Ren Temple.

Scholar-officials, rule the world together with the emperor!

Especially Han Qi, who supported the three emperors and supported the second emperor, gave the scholar-bureaucrats a sense of ownership.

That's why Wen Yanbo could openly say that in the court: His Majesty governs the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the common people!

If this were the case in any other dynasty, Wen Yanbo's head would have moved away long ago.

But in the Song Dynasty, even as powerful as Zhao Xu's father Huang, he could only reply sarcastically: "Not all scholar-bureaucrats are opposed to the reform, there are also many scholar-bureaucrats who support it!"

Therefore, after Queen Xiang behind the curtain heard Wang Gui say such words to her face to face, the stone that had been hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground!

As long as the ministers have expressed their stance.

Then, no matter who else is doing it, do any other small actions.

Sixth Brother's status is unshakable.

If she had heard such words from the ministers in the past, Empress Xiang would have given up all attention to the outer court and returned to Funing Hall to chant sutras and pray for blessings.

But now, she hugged the prince sitting on her knees and said softly: "Since it is your request, I will not deny it!"

As a result, all the ministers bowed their heads and bowed in unison: "I respectfully invite the Prince of Yan'an County to move to the Funing Hall!"

Wang Gui and Cai Que even respectfully said, "Your Highness, please change your clothes!"

The prince's move to the palace is of great significance, so it is natural that he should dress up and display the ceremony!

Since the Tang Dynasty and the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Mianfu has only been used in one scenario: sacrifice!

Therefore, the crown clothes in the Song Dynasty became sacrificial clothes.

The emperor may not be able to wear them several times a year. As for ministers? Ministers do not prepare crown robes. When they participate in sacrifices, they are distributed by the court and taken back by Yousi after the ceremony.

Therefore, most ministers may not be able to wear the crown uniform once in their lifetime.

The court dress has replaced the ceremonial nature of the crown dress in the past, and is also rarely worn.

Generally, only Shuo is worn, and it is worn by Wang Chao Shen and hundreds of officials in daily life or when they meet the emperor for the first time.

Correspondingly, the formal yamen rituals of the Tang Dynasty also became ceremonial in nature.

Since Zhao Xu was granted the title of county king, the county dynasty uniforms have been made every year, but he has never worn them once - he does not need to go to court, let alone sit in a government office!

In his previous life, he had never worn a county uniform.

He remembered that when he was carried out from behind Funing Hall, he was wearing a colorful coat and a hat, and was placed in front of the officials.

So, this is the first time I wear court clothes of this level.

Zhu Yi, Zhu Shang, this is the color of clothing.

White Luo square heart-shaped collar, Bai Luo jade belt, white silk stockings, soap leather boots, this is the standard.

Hang a bunch of decorations around your waist.

Jade sword, jade pendant, brocade ribbon.

It seems to be similar to the minister's court uniform.

In fact, in terms of service rank, it is lower than the Diaochan crown uniform worn by the prime minister, and only a little higher than the Jinxian crown uniform worn by the ministers below the prime minister.

There is a reason for this.

In the ancestral system of the Imperial Song Dynasty, the status of ministers is higher than that of princes!

When a prince meets a minister, he needs to salute him, not the other way around!

In terms of the system, this forcibly lowers the status of the clan and the royal family, and in fact increases the authority of the ministers!

Under the true emperor, above ten thousand people!

Zhao Xu was quickly dressed neatly under the service of the officials.

When the ministers came forward to see it, they all held fluorescein and congratulated: "The prince of Yan'an County is handsome and handsome. I wait and see him. He is quite royal and has the demeanor of the heavenly family. I wish to congratulate Her Royal Highness the Queen!"

Queen Xiang, who was inside the curtain, was very satisfied with the ministers' praise and said: "My son still needs the protection of all your ministers and ministers in the future!"

The ministers listened and looked at each other.

My heart was filled with shock.

‘My son’?

The Queen calls the prince Prince Yan'an 'my son'?!

When did this happen?!

What key clue have we missed?

All the ministers were horrified in their hearts!

Especially Wang Gui, the hair under her head was already wet with sweat!

Since ancient times, mothers are more valuable than their children, and children are more valuable than their mothers!

The queen is Changqiu in the middle palace and the queen of the country.

The queen's son is the legitimate son.

And the Prince of Yan'an County is the eldest son!

If the Prince of Yan'an County is indeed the Queen's son, then he is both the direct and eldest son!

Therefore, everyone immediately reacted and congratulated the queen in the curtain: "The prince is personally raised and protected by Her Highness the Queen. It is truly the blessing of our ancestors and the blessing of the world!"

Zhao Xu just stood quietly and watched quietly, remaining silent and maintaining the reserve he should have as a child.

…

Surrounded by ministers.

Zhao Xu was hugged by Empress Xiang and sat on the foot.

Then, the imperial dragons stationed outside Qingning Palace lined up in columns, guarding the steps in the center, and headed towards Funing Palace.

The messenger sent by Empress Dowager Gao was in front, guiding the ceremonial guards to clear the way.

We walked all the way through Donghuamen Street and arrived at the inner east gate.

Zhao Xu sat quietly, clinging tightly to Queen Xiang's side.

In his heart, Zhao Xu knew that it seemed that he had only arrived at Funing Palace three days early.

In fact, he has changed the fate of countless people!

First of all, what he changed was his own destiny!

In his previous life, everything about him was in ignorance, being manipulated and controlled like a marionette.

It is no exaggeration to say that if not, I would like to thank Queen Xiang, Cai Que and many, many people for their struggle and sacrifice.

He might not be able to sit in that position!

Zhao Xu raised his head and looked at Queen Xiang beside him.

This aunt was once invisible in his life in his previous life.

The memories in my mind are rolling.

Among the few messy memories he could still remember of that fateful day.

There is a scene that Zhao Xu will never forget.

The reserve position has been decided, and after the officials bowed, they all retreated.

They were going to the capital hall to sign the inscriptions drafted by Hanlin scholars to establish the crown prince.

And within the curtain, under the seemingly calm surface, undercurrents are surging.

"It's finally as the queen wished!" Empress Dowager Gao said softly.

The young Zhao Xu saw with his own eyes that Empress Dowager Gao stretched out her hand and poked the empress in the chest.

Very powerful!

He shook the queen's body.

Young Zhao Xu was frightened!

When Empress Dowager Gao left and Empress Xiang walked up to Zhao Xu, she squatted down and pointed her chest to Zhao Xu: "Brother Six, I still feel pain here!"

Zhao Xu looked carefully and saw a clear finger mark on the skin on the queen's chest.
