The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 8 Standing in the Palace of Chongzheng

(Eastern egg at the end of the chapter, standing in the Chongzheng Palace, the scene where King Yong was conferred! PS: The egg chapter must be set to be visible in order to see it!)
February 25, early morning.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Zhao Yanxun was like a puppet, letting the court ladies work on him.

Just today, he will go to the Chongzheng Hall to accept the canonization, officially becoming His Highness King Yong of the Great Jin Dynasty.

In the mirror, Zhao Yanxun was wearing a black gauze wing crown and a blue dragon robe, with a resolute expression and deep eyes, already quite majestic as a king.

"Your Highness, the time has come!" A eunuch reminded outside.

When all the court ladies retreated to one side, Zhao Yanxun turned around and walked out of the hall.

Outside the main hall, the book of ceremonies for the canonization of the prince had already been waiting there.

Today Zhao Yanxun can't take a chariot, so he has to walk to Chongzheng Hall.

As the palace where the Chang Dynasty is held, the Chongzheng Palace has a very high standard, and the concubine and prince canonization is also here.

What needs to be explained is that the crown prince Zhao Yanjun, who was supposed to be conferred in the Huangji Palace, was also conferred in the Chongzheng Palace.

However, His Majesty the Emperor did not take the usual path, and this time he planned to confer Zhao Yanxun in the Huangji Palace.

A lot of skins were pulled in this, because it was too violating the ancestral system, so I gave up amidst the objections of the ministers.

In Huangji Palace, only the queen and the prince can be canonized here, so what can He De, a prince who is an old feudal clan.

Now, the ministers just want to end this farce as soon as possible, so that Zhao Yanxun can get out of the capital as soon as possible after being sealed.

Walking forward slowly, Zhao Yanxun soon came to the gate of the Chongzheng Palace. In front of the palace gate was an extremely long staircase. This was the place where the imperial gate hearing was held.

The guard of honor who followed Zhao Yanxun stopped, and he had to walk the rest of the way alone.

Lifting the hem of his robe slightly, Zhao Yanxun walked up the stairs with a calm face but agitated heart.

Stepping into the palace gate, an eunuch immediately shouted loudly: "The emperor's nine sons, Yan Xun, have an audience!"

"The ninth son of the emperor, Yan Xun, has an audience!"

……

Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, Zhao Yanxun came to the main hall, where there were already two rows of ministers standing by shift.

Seeing that they were dressed in rich purple, Zhao Yanxun knew that they were all high officials of the imperial court, and some of them were the cabinet ministers he had met before.

The officials hated Zhao Yanxun secretly, but they couldn't see it on their faces, and they were even smiling at this moment.

Those who didn't know, thought they were sincerely congratulating Zhao Yanxun!

What really caught Zhao Yanxun's attention was the young man in a red dragon robe standing under Majesty Dan. This person was the current crown prince Zhao Yanjun.

As the eldest son of the emperor, Zhao Yanjun was nearly thirty, and he had been crowned prince for more than ten years.

In the position of crown prince, Zhao Yanjun's life was not easy at all, and he was almost abolished several times in the middle, and it was inseparable from the concubine Duan's mother and son.

At this moment, seeing Zhao Yanxun crowned king in the Chongzheng Palace, one can imagine the anger in Zhao Yanjun's heart.

Emperor Tai'an sat on the throne, and Zhao Yanxun bowed three times and kowtowed nine times under the ceremonial officer's singing.

After saluting, Zhao Yanxun was not called, but Chen Changhe on the imperial steps took out the imperial decree, which was the imperial decree to confer the prince.

"Zhi said: I admire the lotus and Tianxiu, and I inherit the emperor's rule. Jingming has servants, and Zuo Yin conquers prosperity. It is the style of the founding of the country, and the code of great feudalism..."

Chen Changhe's voice was high-pitched and bright, and everyone in the hall listened quietly. Although Zhao Yanxun was excited, he would not make some low-level mistakes at this moment.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Yanjun who was at the side, listening to the imperial decree made him even more annoyed. This situation was no different from the situation when he was canonized as the crown prince.

"Zier's ninth son is endowed with a magnificent talent, endowed with solid qualities. He is taller than a golden branch, and has a heroic style like a Qiongyu. It is suitable to be a grassland, so as to have a family..."

"Zite named you the king of Yong, and I gave you a book of treasures, which should be respected and inherited. You should live up to the night and fear the sky, and be careful and meditate. Yongqin will give you the order of the time, so that you can have a good reputation. Qin!"

After Chen Changhe put away the imperial decree, he saw an old man in a red python robe walking slowly with two eunuchs.

According to the previous memory, Zhao Yanxun knew that the old man was the emperor's uncle in terms of seniority.

Walking up to Zhao Yanxun, the old man turned around and took a tray from the eunuch behind him, on which was a brocade box wrapped in purple satin.

Inside was the great seal of King Yong, and after taking it from Da Zongzheng, Zhao Yanxun handed it over to the ritual officer behind him.

Immediately afterwards, he took another tray from Zongzheng, and on it was a glittering golden booklet, which was the golden booklet that conferred the prince.

After Zhao Yanxun handed the things to the ceremony officer behind him, the emperor Zhao Yongcheng got up from the dragon chair, and the eunuch Chen Changhe immediately followed.

I saw Chen Changhe holding a tray with a gold headband on it. Today is also Zhao Yanxun's coronation ceremony, and Zhao Yanxun has already removed the Yishan crown on his head in advance.

The emperor walked up to Zhao Yanxun, picked up the headband from the tray, and slowly put it on Zhao Yanxun's bun.

After finishing these, the emperor turned around and returned to the dragon chair, and Zhao Yanxun saluted the emperor again, shouting in his mouth: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Exemption!" The emperor spat out these two words.

After Zhao Yanxun got up, he saw that all the ministers seemed to be relieved, obviously they cared more about this matter than Zhao Yanxun.

The canonization ceremony has come to an end here.

Soon the emperor withdrew, and Zhao Yanxun withdrew from the Chongzheng Hall with the treasure.

Next, he will go to meet the queen and say goodbye to his mother. Starting tonight, he will no longer live in the palace.

After exiting the hall, Zhao Yanxun, accompanied by a group of eunuchs, hurried towards the queen's bedroom.

When he came to the Queen's bedroom, he saw Zhao Yanjun was also inside.

"Ninth brother, congratulations!" Zhao Yanjun smiled.

"His Royal Highness, I'm going to the northwest to eat sand, what can I congratulate?"

Zhao Yanjun didn't lose his temper, his skill in nourishing Qi was very deep, he wouldn't argue with Zhao Yanxun, anyway, he could take revenge slowly in the future.

But Zhao Yanxun is not afraid, because there is nothing going on, after all, the end of the world is coming.

The two brothers didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, so they entered the palace bedroom together.

The queen is a woman in her fifties, and besides majesty, there is also a shrewdness hidden in her eyes.

The queen had children, but none of them grew up, so she and the prince formed an ally to face the challenge of Concubine Duan together.

At the Queen's place, Zhao Yanxun had a lot of rules, and left after the meeting according to the rules.

The next stop he went to Xianfu Palace where Concubine Duan lived.

The mother and son looked at each other speechlessly, and in the end it was Zhao Yanxun who spoke first: "Mother Concubine... I'm afraid it will be difficult for my son to see Mother Concubine after he leaves. I only hope Mother Concubine takes care of her health and don't think that the child is unfilial!"

These words, Zhao Yanxun spoke with sincerity, which brought tears to Concubine Duan's eyes.

No matter how scheming she is, her son is always her lifeline, but now Zhao Yanxun is leaving.

"Emperor, go to the fief to live in peace, wait for the opportunity, there will be a chance to see you again in the future!"

From this sentence, Zhao Yanxun knew that Concubine Duan didn't listen to her own words, she was a woman who refused to admit defeat.

"Mother and Concubine, if the capital is in chaos in the future, Mother and Concubine can take refuge in Yongning Lane Prince's Mansion, where the children have saved a lot of food and drink supplies, and they will definitely protect the mother and concubine!" Zhao Yanxun solemnly said.

The house in Yongning Lane has now become a palace, and Zhao Yanxun has prepared a lot of things for the end times.

Concubine Duan was a little surprised, and said with a serious face: "They are not so bold!"

Zhao Yanxun knew that Concubine Duan had made a mistake, so he explained: "Mother Concubine... If there is a major epidemic in the capital in the future and people bite people, you must remember my words and go to the cellar in Yongning Lane to hide! "

"Must remember!"

Seeing her son's seriousness, although Concubine Duan thought it was absurd, she still nodded.

Next, the mother and son chatted about some past events, mostly about Zhao Yanxun's childhood.

And three days later, Zhao Yanxun will officially get married, and after marrying the princess, he will leave the capital and take up the feudal domain.

Not knowing how the date was chosen, Zhao Yanxun roughly calculated that the countdown to the end of the world would end on the night of the wedding.

In other words, the end of the world came on the night of the wedding night in his bridal chamber.
