Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

Chapter 238 The new emperor ascends the throne

After the family dinner on the first day of the first lunar month, there was an uproar in the capital, and the New Year of the 62nd year of Emperor Kangxi ended in a bad taste.

The former dynasty and the harem were all swept up in it. The Yonghe Palace faction won a great victory and is now very prosperous.

Concubine De's life is getting better and better now. Her old rivals and Empress Xiaoyi Ren's half-sister Concubine Tong Jia all have to rely on her. In just a few days, she has already experienced the pleasure of power.

Fortunately, she was a cautious person and her life had become more and more comfortable in recent years, so she did not lose her way and did not haggle with the people in the harem.

But when she woke up in the middle of the night, she slept more soundly, because she would never need to fight, grab, or plot again in the future!

"I can finally enjoy my remaining years in peace. There are people who will take care of the Uya and Ulanara families for me. I don't need to worry about the Fourth Prince, Yixiu, and Honghui. From now on, I will just be an old feudal lord who pretends to be deaf and dumb."

"Your Majesty is right. In half a month, the prince will ascend the throne. The situation has been decided and no one will come out to make trouble!"

Concubine De smiled at first, then frowned and said with some worry, "Now only the Fourteenth Prince is far away in Ganzhou. I am still a little worried about him, afraid that he might get hurt. After all, Junggar Khan is not an easy person to deal with."

Sun Zhuxi was very quick to respond. He immediately replied, "We received news from Ganzhou yesterday, saying that the war was going well. I think we should return to the capital this year, right?"

How could the secrets of the war's inside story and arrangements be easily leaked? De Fei did not ask any more questions, but just said "OK" a few times and went to take a lunch break.

After the seal was opened on the 23rd day of the first lunar month, Kangxi issued the last imperial decree, promoting the new emperor's mother, Consort De of Yonghe Palace, to the rank of Imperial Consort, and waiting for her to move to Ningshou Palace as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne.

Afterwards, the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites were extremely busy because time was too tight. The coronation ceremony had to be prepared within half a month, and there must not be any mistakes.

Honghui is in the Ministry of Rites. He hasn't been to the backyard in the past half month. He is busy, too busy!

Fortunately, the people below were afraid that the new emperor would start a fire as soon as he ascended the throne, so they worked diligently and completed all matters before the eighth day of February.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the court and the harem, time quickly arrived at the eighth day of February.

The sky was clear and cloudless that day. Under the reflection of the morning glow, a red sun gradually rose from the east, and the brilliant golden light spread all over the earth.

Today's protagonist got up from the Palace of Mental Cultivation early, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to pay a visit with great momentum.

——Yinzhen moved into the palace two days ago. As for his wives and children, they could not move into the palace until after the coronation ceremony. This is the rule and cannot be neglected!

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May you be blessed with good health and good health."

Kangxi was relieved, filled with emotion, and a little uneasy at the same time. In the end, he only had earnest advice, "I hope you will work hard in the future, be diligent, create benefits for the people, and set an example for your subjects. Yinzhen, I hope you will not bring shame to the reputation of the Aisin-Gioro ancestral temple and the country!"

"Yes, I will follow the instructions of my father."

After paying homage to Kangxi, Yinzhen went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The coronation ceremony was usually held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and this time was no exception.

At that time, Yinzhen rode in a golden carriage, accompanied by ministers and guards from behind, and got off the carriage when they arrived at Baohe Hall.

Afterwards, he walked into the Zhonghe Hall and took his seat. At this time, all the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple were ready, waiting for the new emperor to arrive at the Baohe Hall.

"kneel."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Kneel again."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Kneel again."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

After the three kneelings and nine kowtows, the Minister of Rites stepped forward and requested the new emperor to take the throne. "Your humble servant kowtows and requests the new emperor to take the throne."

After the customary three requests and three declines, Yinzhen went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and took his seat. Then, three whips were blown at the steps, and to the accompaniment of the Danbi music, all the ministers once again performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

Next was the reading of the imperial edict. Because this time it was about abdication rather than succession, at least half of the imperial edict behind the plaque "Zhengda Guangming" was changed to highlight the word "abdication".

At last, the ministers once again performed the ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtow nine times: "Long live the emperor!"

Yinzhen sat on the dragon throne, feeling full of ambition and passion, and thought to himself: This is not the end, but the beginning!

After all the civil and military officials in the court came forward to pay their respects to the new emperor, Yinzhen signaled Su Peisheng to take out the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago and read it out in public.

First, Kangxi was honored as the Supreme Emperor and continued to live in the Qianqing Palace without having to move; then the new emperor's biological mother, the Imperial Noble Consort, was honored as the Supreme Empress and moved into the Ningshou Palace on an auspicious day; after that, the harem that was canonized as the Supreme Emperor had almost no changes above the rank of concubine, and all those below the rank of concubine were promoted to a higher level, except for Concubine Yi, who was given the title of Supreme Noble Concubine Yi because of her son's status as a mother.

Before Yinqi and Yinzhen could enjoy themselves secretly for long, another imperial decree came, "Appoint the legitimate wife, Ulanara, as the empress, move into Chengqian Palace, and enter the palace first to preside over the affairs of the harem."

Chengqian Palace? The head of the six eastern palaces! It seems that this newly-minted queen is quite valued! Does the eldest prince Honghui have no shortcomings?

Honghui was quite happy to be talked about by them all the time. Whoever wanted to live in Jingren Palace could live there. Anyway, he could not bear to see Jingren Palace, which had cost his mother's life!

While everyone was thinking about their own things, a heavy-weight decree came out immediately: "…promote Zhi Beile Yinzhi to the rank of Duoluo Zhi Junwang; Li Junwang Yinreng to the rank of Li Qinwang; Chun Junwang Yinyou to the rank of Chun Qinwang; Ba Beile Yinsi to the rank of Duoluo Lian Junwang; Jiu Beile Yinlu to the rank of Duoluo Fu Junwang;

The Duke of Dun, Yin'e, was made the Prince of Dun; the 12th Prince, Yin'e, was made the Duke of Duolo; the Prince of Yi, Yinxiang, was made the Prince of Yi; the Prince of Xian, Yin'e, was made the Prince of Xian; the 15th Prince, Yin'u, was made the Prince of Duolo;

The sixteenth son of the emperor, Yinlu, succeeded Bogoduo, the Prince of Zhuangjing, as his empress and inherited the title of Prince Zhuang; the seventeenth son of the emperor, Yinli, and the eighteenth son of the emperor, Yinxun, were both made Duoluo Beile.

As soon as this decree came out, most of the princes had smiles on their faces. It was because the Fourth Prince was really generous. Almost everyone was awarded the title. Even those who were not awarded had already received the title of prince long ago, so the favor could not be bestowed on them.

On the contrary, Prince Yi Yinxiang seemed a little flattered. He no longer wanted to be conferred the title of Heshuo Prince over all his brothers. He thought that his fourth brother treated him too highly.

He felt that he really didn't deserve it!

Before Yinxiang could come to his senses, he saw that his brothers were about to step forward to express their gratitude, so he quickly took a step forward and said in unison with everyone else: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"

Yinzhen, however, remained unmoved. He just looked quietly at his brothers kneeling in the hall, thinking: As long as you don't go against me, it's just a little bit of silver, I won't take it seriously!
