Empress Xiang held Zhao Xu in her arms, climbed the imperial steps in front of Funing Palace step by step, and put Zhao Xu down when she reached the gate.

Zhao Xu landed on his feet, raised his head, and looked at everything in front of him.

The majestic Funing Hall gate has twelve halberds displayed on each side. This is a system made for the emperor's palace!

After crossing the halberd stand, everything in Funing Hall came into view.

All the ministers have already fallen down to greet him.

One by one, the female officers retreated to the left and right.

The smell of burning mugwort came from the palace.

"My son..." Queen Xiang seemed to be in a trance when looking at Zhao Xu. She thought he was afraid of life, so she quickly took Zhao Xu's hand: "Follow your mother into the palace and go to your father!"

"Yes!" Zhao Xu nodded and was led by Queen Xiang into the Funing Hall.

This palace was once the most familiar to him, but now it is somewhat unfamiliar.

The soap leather boots on his feet made a crisp sound when they stepped on the stone floor of Funing Hall.

This is the place where his life finally disappeared in his previous life.

This is also the starting point for his new life and new destiny.

Empress Xiang led him, step by step, to the front of the Palace of Funing. The ministers followed behind their mother and son, walking step by step, holding their hands.

When they reached the end of the main hall of Funing Hall, Empress Xiang led Zhao Xu eastward, and a curtain had already fallen in front.

Inside the curtain, Empress Dowager Gao was dressed in official uniform and sitting on a chair.

Through the curtain, you can vaguely see Empress Dowager Gao, who is wearing a dark blue poncho, solemn and grand.

The two temples on the head are decorated with nine dragons and four phoenixes on the ceremonial crown. There are large dragon beads in front, and there are tassels in the mouth, which are dazzling.

Two pieces of white jade are placed on both sides, with green robes covering the knees.

The ministers behind Empress Xiang and Zhao Xu collectively held their hands and bowed to Empress Xiang and Zhao Xu who were beside Empress Xiang at this moment.

As the left prime minister, Wang Gui and the right prime minister, Cai Que, took a step forward with jade in their hands, then bowed deeply towards the empress dowager inside the curtain, and then towards the emperor's imperial couch inside the curtain.

A bow.

Queen Xiang led Zhao Xu to the curtain.

Then, Empress Xiang faced the inside of the curtain, bowed and bowed: "I am telling you that the bride has brought the prince, the Prince of Yan'an County, to the palace, and respectfully begs for the Queen's mercy, and the prince-to-be, the Prince of Yan'an County, is imprisoned!"

After saying that, she pulled Zhao Xu's body towards the queen and motioned for Zhao Xu to follow her in worship.

Of course Zhao Xu knew what he should do at this moment?

But he is just a child.

Moreover, he has shown himself to be smart enough.

Too much is not enough!

What's more, if he knew everything, wouldn't Queen Xiang have no sense of participation and accomplishment?

In modern times, Zhao Xu played mobile games.

So he knew that even in those card-drawing games, drawing powerful and rare characters would not make you invincible.

You also need to upgrade your krypton gold to increase the strength, and you also need to clear the map to collect equipment.

Otherwise, what's the use of just having strong characters?

Without a sense of immersion, participation, or achievement, players will easily give up.

So, Zhao Xu honestly, under the Queen's step-by-step demonstration and guidance, bowed to the inside of the curtain, bowed his head to the ground, and followed the Queen's whisper and said in a sweet voice: "My lord, Yan'an"

The servant of the prince, please ask if your father's holy body is okay, and wish your great-mother a happy blessing!"

Empress Dowager Gao, who was in the curtain, finally spoke: "The empress's request is in line with the will of God and the will of the people!"

Then the curtain was lifted.

Outside Funing Palace, Shi Deyi, who had been waiting at the palace gate, raised the net whip in his hand again.

Snapped!

The net whip tears the air, making a crisp sound.

"The prince has moved to the palace!"

Outside the Funing Palace, in the cloister, the ministers who had been summoned here to wait for orders by Empress Dowager Gao all faced the direction of the east pavilion of the Funing Palace, bowed their hands, and said one after another: "The prince is moving to the palace today, and the ancestors of the Supreme Alliance are here."

The intention is to obey the hearts of all people!"

In the Funing Hall, as the curtain was lifted, Queen Xiang took Zhao Xu and walked inside through the lifted curtain.

Behind them, the ministers had already stepped forward according to their rank.

"Shang Shuzuo Pushe, the minister under the door, the Duke of Xi, the minister Gui of Shangzhu..."

"Shang Shu's right servant She, Zhongshu's minister, the founding official of Qingyuan County is indeed..."

"Shang Shu Zuo Cheng, my servant Chen Dun..."

"Shang Shu You Cheng, Zhong Shu Shi Lang Chen Qing Chen..."

"Chen Hong, the Minister of the Secretariat..."

"I know that the Privy Council Minister Zhen..."

"Tongzhi Privy Council Minister Tao..."

Amidst the ups and downs of the ministers' announcement, all the ministers finally fell to the ground and worshiped: "I respectfully send my prince, the Prince of Yan'an, to the imperial palace!"

In the curtain, Empress Dowager Gao, who was sitting on a chair, looked at Empress Xiang, took Zhao Xu, came to her, and bowed to her again.

The little imperial grandson is still very immature in terms of etiquette.

You need to give the Queen guidance and demonstration at any time.

But he learned very quickly and could master it almost as soon as he was taught.

Empress Dowager Gao nodded with satisfaction, then said to the ministers outside the curtain: "My lords, please rise!"

"This prince sent by your husband is indeed excellent!"

"To be honest with you all, I ordered Da Zongzheng and King Sipu to divine fortunes in front of the portraits of my ancestors in Jinling Palace. Both Da Zongzheng and King Sipu responded and said: In accordance with the empress's loving orders, I would like to ask for the divination.

The hexagrams that our ancestors and clans have seen are all auspicious!"

"It can be seen that even the ancestors are quite satisfied with the child chosen by the husband!"

The ministers fell to the ground and played again: "I am so frightened that I owe it to my ancestors and gods to protect me and to rely on Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager's kind decree!"

Inside the curtain, Zhao Xu, who was being led by Queen Xiang and lying on the ground, listened to the voices of the officials outside.

He sighed in his heart.

From the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at the direction of the bed where his father was currently lying.

"Sure enough, in the hearts of the ministers, my father is no longer the emperor!"

What I have known for a lifetime has now been verified by facts again.

Zhao Xu still felt uncomfortable inside.

No king will feel comfortable!

Although, even he knew it, it would be impossible to imagine all the ministers being completely loyal to the emperor.

However, a creature like the emperor can't help but want everyone to be loyal to only one person.

Even though the emperor actually understood that this idea was very dangerous!

But I can't control it!

Zhao Xu was thinking randomly in his heart.

Outside the curtain, a table that had been prepared in Funing Palace for a long time was carried by the ministers to the chief ministers.

A piece of special jute paper was spread on the table.

This kind of jute paper is familiar to every minister.

It is the paper used exclusively by the ministers of the old political hall and the current capital hall.

Originated in the Tang Dynasty, the documents written with it were called "Tang Tie" in the Tang Dynasty, and their status was very high, even higher than the emperor's pardon letter.

Therefore, Taizu of the Song Dynasty abolished the system of hall invitations and replaced it with Zhongshu Zhazi. The original intention was to limit the power of the prime minister and prevent the phenomenon of the Tang Dynasty prime minister's hall invitation being higher than the emperor's pardon letter.

However, over the course of a hundred years, the Song Dynasty passed through two generations: Renmiao and Yingmiao.

The status of Zazi signed by the prime minister once again successfully surpassed the status of the emperor's pardon letter.

Therefore, being able to sign and stamp on jute paper became the lifelong pursuit of all scholar-bureaucrats.

Today's officials are trying to change this situation. Therefore, in the fifth year of Xining, the provincial letters were reformed, and in the first year of Yuanfeng, it was determined that the provincial letters must be recorded first and submitted to the imperial court before they can be implemented, thus suppressing the power of the prime minister again.

Under the authority of the king.
