Chapter 38: Ascend to the Grievance

Seeing that the officials in the court had another commotion, Xiao seemed to be distracted. She glanced coldly at the people on her head, and a profound expression appeared on her face. Even through the bead curtain, many people who felt keen still noticed something was wrong and shook their heads down. As for Hai Guanyu and the other three, they exchanged glances, and were all a little worried.

Since this dynasty, only the emperor was young or unable to take charge of the officials would be the governor. If Feng Wuhen succeeded to the throne, there would be no such trouble. However, at this time, the war disaster in the southwest was a little too late, and Feng Wuhen's large group of troops had a five or six-day trip away from Beijing. If it was delayed, I still didn't know what the military situation in the front would develop. Hai Guanyu and others were all important officials who were concerned about the country and the country, so they would not sit idly by.

At this moment, Prince Min Feng Minzhi gritted his teeth and bowed out and said, "What Prince Qing said just now is a big mistake. Since the emperor has left a will, the crown prince is the new king. This is beyond doubt. Although the crown prince and his party are still a few days away from the capital, it is inevitable that he will establish a new king for the sake of these few days. According to the opinions of the humble ministers, the empress will select several important officials to decide on military and national affairs, and then the empress will stamp the imperial seal, so that the urgent need can be solved."

"No need to be so troublesome." Xiao suddenly said, and there seemed to be an indescribable ridicule in his words. "You are all loyal ministers of the court, and I am very pleased."

The faces of Prince Qing and others changed drastically. They were all old men, so naturally they would not be unable to hear the deep meaning of the words. A bad feeling surged in their hearts, but they still didn't know where the leak came from.

"Your family, your advice is good, but it's all biased." Xiao said with a high profile, "Crown Prince Feng Wuhen was worried about the situation in the capital. After rushing overnight, he arrived in the capital yesterday." No matter what shock this statement would cause, she signaled to herself, "Wuhen, if you don't come out again, I'm afraid everyone will continue to worry. You have heard what you should listen, so come out to meet everyone."

There was another silence in the court. Soon, Feng Wuhen, dressed in the princely costume, walked out, with no expression on his face. Feng Min let out a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart finally let go. With a heavy burden, he could hardly hold on to his body. Hai Guanyu was also not much better, and he was dumbfounded. After a while, he came to his senses. As for Bao Huasheng, he was overjoyed. Since Feng Wuhen had returned, it would be no problem to suppress the overall situation. They had seen the brigade of guards and imperial guards outside the hall before, and knew that the Queen Xiao had become ruthless. If those people were not aware of the situation, they would be ready to take the opportunity to eradicate all the unstable ministers.

Feng Wuhen stepped up from the steps step by step, then stood firm under the imperial seat, then turned around and looked at the ministers below with a quiet face. "Gou rushed forward quickly, but it was still one step late. He had only had time to meet his father for the last time and failed to fulfill his filial piety." His first sentence refuted Feng Huaishu and Xu Wenxi's previous words, blocking the questions of the ministers. "My mother is the mother of the six palaces and the wife whom the father respects the most. How could he deceive? The words of the Qing family were just heard in his ears, and he really gained insight!" His sharp eyes swept over the two people who were silent and said word by word, "My mother has been working hard to calm the situation in the court these days, but she did not expect that she was taken advantage of by the shameless villain. It seems that the father's words at the end of his life are indeed true."

Feng Wuhen slowly paced in front of the imperial throne, deliberately not giving the court officials a chance to speak, and continued: "The father once taught me that he should not do evil because he was small, and that he should not do good because he was small. For all the families, this is the same. The father died suddenly and the war broke out in the southwest again. It was a time of crisis in the country and the country, but someone took the opportunity to put down the wrong thing and wanted to force the palace!"

He deliberately increased the tone of "forcing the palace" and paused and continued, "Fortunately, I was prepared for a long time. I ordered the team of people to go quickly and secretly rushed back to the capital. I did not miss a good show." He looked at the two guys who were still very arrogant and shouted sternly: "Come, Feng Huaishu and Xu Wenxi framed the queen with ill intentions, take them down, and wait for everything to be done to go to Dali Temple for interrogation!"

The courtier's heart trembled, and a few guards rushed in from outside immediately, pressing Feng Huaishu and Xu Wenxi down without saying a word, stripping down their official uniforms and dragging them out. Feng Xu and Xu also knew that the situation was not good, so they quickly called Chaotian Que, as if they were so innocent. However, everyone knew that the prince was at the moment when he was establishing his authority, and who dared to come forward to persuade him? Even the Prince of Qing County Feng Huaide became a turtle with knowledge. Although his previous words were ulterior motives, others could not find a reason to investigate. At this time, of course he could only ask for self-protection.

Feng Wuhen then turned around and faced the throne, his body trembled slightly. He reached out and stroked the throne that symbolized supreme, and his figure suddenly faded. "Father, you have been in charge of the court for decades, why did you go there just like that?" He was already crying, "You have suffered for the sake of the country and the country, but you still have villains covet the throne. How can ordinary people understand this painstaking efforts?" He said while crying, as if he didn't notice the embarrassing officials in the court. "Now, you have handed over this heavy burden to your ministers. What a trust. Although your ministers are not talented, they dare not let down your efforts..."

Seeing Feng Wuhen's style, Xiao naturally knew his intention, and it was nothing more than to show the ministers. However, when she thought that her son had returned from a long distance and had not been able to see the emperor for the last time, she couldn't help but feel sad, but she must not let him continue, otherwise the play would be over. "Wuhen, this palace has declared the will of Emperor Daxing before. Now that all the officials are here, you should inherit the throne." She took advantage of the shock of the ministers and said slowly, "The country cannot be without a king for a day. Since Emperor Daxing already has the will, you should ascend the throne immediately and preside over all political affairs."

Since the Queen Xiao had spoken, Prince Min immediately stepped forward a few steps forward and knelt down and asked, "Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne immediately to the hearts of the people in the world and to assert the court!" Since he, the respected royal elder, had spoken, there were naturally many court officials who followed him with the support. At that time, Hai Guanyu and Bao Huasheng stepped forward to help Feng Wuhen up and pressed him on the imperial throne. That's not all, He Weitao and Yue Qianfan immediately took the step forward and said loudly: "There is the last emperor's order in front of him, and the ministers later together. Today's major event has been decided!" They both turned to face the ministers and said heavily: "The new king has succeeded to the throne. Don't you kneel down and bow to him?"

A group of ministers who knew the opportunity immediately knelt down and worshiped, saying "Long Live". Prince Zhuang Feng Huaiqi and others knew that the overall situation was settled. Although they were extremely unwilling to do so, they did not dare to struggle anymore. They followed behind and knelt down, but they still kept mumbling. Today's matter was completely prepared, and they had just seen the movement outside the hall. Even if they had the upper hand in words, it would be difficult to get out of the hall at that time, so they had to endure it for the time being.

Feng Wuhen calmly received the courtesy of all officials. He was the legitimate crown prince, so he naturally didn't need that kind of polite words, otherwise he would be pretentious. Seeing the dark heads below, a sense of enlightenment rose in his heart. From now on, he was the master of the world, and no one could control him anymore. The dignity and solemnity on the throne gave him a ridiculous feeling. Once upon a time, the prince who was only worthy of being on the sickbed had grown to this day. All this was the compensation of God. No, it should be said that it was the result of the incomparable efforts of him and the capable people who followed him.

"Everyone, please get up." Feng Wuhen ordered lightly, "Since I have taken this burden, I will never let outsiders easily get involved." He sat peacefully on the imperial seat, just looking at everyone with his eyes, "There are many affairs waiting for cooking, and military and national affairs are also imminent. But according to the etiquette, the temple name of the Emperor Daxing and my year name must be set first." He looked at Hai Guanyu and others, as if waiting for their answers.

Hai Guanyu knew that Feng Wuhen had suddenly ascended the throne, and was still a little uncomfortable. He quickly stepped forward and said, "What the emperor said is very true. According to the humble ministers, the former emperor had both civil and military skills throughout his life, and his many achievements even surpassed the emperors of this dynasty, and he chased Taizu and found that he had agreed. Therefore, the temple name might as well be designated as "Chengzu"!" He looked up at Feng Wuhen, and saw that the new king nodded slightly, and knew that he had agreed, he couldn't help but feel more relaxed.

"Let's decide 'Zhengzu'." Feng Wuhen looked at the ministers and saw that everyone had no objection, so he agreed. "As for my reign title, I once joked with me when I was in power. The word 'Yufeng' was his favorite, but when it was not useful, I left it to me. I consider the love of the last emperor and could not bear to let down his kindness, so I used the word 'Yufeng'."

When the ministers heard Feng Wuhen's big principles, they could not argue. They hurriedly said, "The Emperor is wise!" From Feng Wuhen's series of behaviors just now, those who are interested had long seen the master's nature of being unable to rub the sand in his eyes, and they were all secretly complaining in their hearts.

"Since I have ascended the throne, according to the etiquette, all the concubines of the late emperor and the harem should be promoted." Feng Wuhen seemed to have noticed the gaze of Xiao coming from behind, and announced, "The empress is the lord of the six palaces and my biological mother. As usual, she is honored as the empress dowager, and she is named "Renxian" and moved to Cining Palace."

Next is a series of promotions. The imperial concubine Gonghui He Xueming was promoted to the imperial concubine Gonghui, and the other concubines were promoted to the imperial concubine, and each of the concubines had their own gifts. However, these women who had lost their husbands would inevitably move out of their original gorgeous palaces and move to the so-called Shoukang Palace or Shou'an Palace in the West Six Sects to spend the rest of their lives.
