The Founding of the Red Chamber

Chapter 132 The New Emperor Part 4

It's hard to say whether Chen Qibao is the best candidate for heir, but he must be the most suitable candidate at this stage.

The former Xiangyang Prince's Mansion has long been ruined, and there is no power left.Chen Qibao himself had been imprisoned in the clan mansion for five or six years, and he knew nothing about the situation in the court.Apart from the delicate relationship with Xie Jialin's family, Chen Qibao has no enmity with [-]% of the people in the imperial capital, and everyone can completely start cultivating their relationship again.

But in fact, even the Xie Lin family never expressed any obvious objection to Chen Qibao's being the heir.

Of course, it is impossible for the Lin family to object. The matter of Chen Qibao was secretly promoted by the Lin family.As for the Xie family, the downfall of the Xiangyang Palace was indeed led by the Xie family, but when it comes to the fundamentals of this matter, the Xiangyang Palace really didn't take it for granted.However, at this time and at that time, Chen Qibao saw that the position was hopeful, who knew if he would have revenge for his injustice after he ascended the throne.

It's just that, it was the Lin Xie family who abolished the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion back then, but when everyone inquired, it was also the Lin Xie family who had been imprisoned in the clan's mansion all these years and had been sending people to deliver things.

Hey!

This is really-

Anyway, Chen Qibao just entered the palace like this. The Empress Dowager Kong first ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare for the adoption. Yes, the first thing is not Chen Qibao's ascension to the throne. Emperor De and Empress Dowager Kong are at the knees, so they have to change father and mother first.Chen Qibao actually got the reputation of serving his father in prison, and now he wants to change his father and mother. In fact, he, he doesn't have any opinion from us.The main reason is that his mother has passed away. As for his father, although Chen Qibao is in prison for his father, what about his feelings for his father? In the past few years in prison, he has never seen his father, let alone his family. Bringing things to visit the prison or something, nothing.

Therefore, if another father can be the emperor, as long as he is not stupid, he will not refuse.

The matter of adoption went very smoothly, and after the adoption, it was the ceremony of the new king's ascension to the throne.Although Chen Qibao was born in the Prince's Mansion of Xiangyang, even when his father was the Prince of Xiangyang, he was not very favored by his father.In the aftermath, the prince's mansion collapsed and he was imprisoned for several years.Chen Qibao's own aptitude is naturally not bad, but he lacks too much homework, and he doesn't know much about these royal ceremonies.

Fortunately, Chen Qibao is a person willing to learn. If he doesn't understand, he will ask the Queen Mother for advice.This is also Chen Qibao's cleverness. Now that he enters the palace, he really has nothing to rely on, except for his mother, the Queen Mother Kong.Chen Qibao was not very familiar with the Queen Mother Kong, but he knew that in the future in the palace, there would be many places to rely on the Queen Mother Kong.He had to have a good relationship with Queen Mother Kong, and the first step to a good relationship was to get in touch more.

The Empress Dowager Kong was as human as Chen Qibao thought, and she was willing to give him advice.

As for the canonization envoy of the new monarch ceremony, the main envoy is Kong Guogong, and the two deputy envoys, one is Bai Xiang and the other is Lin Yi.The Empress Dowager Kong briefly told him about the three canonized envoys, Kong Guogong and Chen Qibao, who had met before.Bai Xiang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Chen Qibao had heard of it.As for Lin Yi, Chen Qibao said, "The last time I met Lin Guogong was several years ago."

The Empress Dowager Kong said, "Speaking of which, you have some connections."

"That's right, when I came to the imperial capital, I had the audacity to go to Lin Guogong's mansion to disturb you." Chen Qibao said, "Queen Mother, can you replace the other envoy with Xie Guogong?"

The Empress Dowager Kong had vaguely guessed the reason, but she didn't say anything, she just asked, "Why?"

Chen Qibao said truthfully, "What happened back then was the fault of the former King of Xiangyang. I know this best. I thought, because my mother and queen treated me differently, I was able to become emperor. It’s not good to use it, and some people say that I will remember the past or something, so it’s not that the troubles have arisen for no reason. In the past few years, I have not suffered much in the clan mansion. The old concubine and Lin Guogong, every year I will send people to deliver things to me every festival. I thought, I would like to ask Xie Guogong Lin Guogong to be the deputy envoy to show that I don’t care about the affairs of the Xiangyang Palace. That matter has long been settled, so don’t let the officials worry too much.”

Empress Dowager Kong said, "That's also good. But, Prime Minister Bai still needs to say something."

Chen Qibao said, "Let me talk to Bai Xiang about this matter. I haven't met Bai Xiang yet, our mother and son live in a secluded house, and in the future, we will need Bai Xiang's assistance."

Queen Mother Kong's jaw.

Chen Qibao said this clearly and directly, and Bai Xiang gave up the position of deputy envoy to Xie Guogong.After Xie Guogong found out, he was surprised and delighted, and went to his sister, Concubine Xie, to talk about it. Concubine Xie said, "Your successor has always been a caring person, so this is naturally a good thing."

Xie Guogong said, "This heir is quite extraordinary."

Concubine Xie said, "I just hope that the court will be safe and sound. The royal family's turmoil is not a good thing in the end."

"Yes." Xie Guogong said, "Si Jun has such a heart, what else should I worry about?"

At the very least, at this stage, Chen Qibao's open-mindedness made Manchu civil and military eyes shine.

Only Lin Jing thought to himself, he has not ascended the throne yet, so he must be a good person.How it really is depends on Chen Qibao's character after he really came to power, not to mention others, even Emperor Zhaode looked like a good man before he was in charge.

This man, I can no longer look at it for a while.

Chen Qibao's matter is certain, it seems to be years.

For the enthronement ceremony and so on, Lin Yi is the deputy envoy, so naturally he has to be busy.Lin Jing has no official or job, and he has no part in the palace banquet.Lin Jing took his little nephews to talk to the second old man at home, and said that this year's epidemic, the Duke's mansion is fine, but the second old man passed it on.At that time, I thought that the old man would not be able to survive at his age, and the family's birthday materials and shrouds were all prepared.In the end, the second old lady took good care of him, and the second old lady probably didn't deserve to die, so he insisted on saving his life.

When Lin Jing just returned to the imperial capital, he came over to have a look. Everyone knew that Lin Jing was not a strong person, and he didn't ask him to visit the second old man when he came.Now that the second old man is safe, Lin Jing came over to say hello to the second old man.

The second old man is very concerned about current affairs, knowing that his majesty in the future is Chen Qibao from the former Xiangyang Palace, the second old lady first asked Lin Jing in private, "The matter of the Xiangyang Palace back then was handled by our family, and the new king will not bear any grudges about it." son?"

"No, the eldest brother is still the deputy envoy of the new king's enthronement ceremony."

The second old lady felt relieved, and came up with a new idea, and said to Lin Jing, "Should we choose a few girls who are outstanding in the clan?"

"What?" Lin Jing didn't understand for a while?

"Why are you so stupid? I heard that the new king is in his twenties. He used to be in prison and has no wives or concubines. Our loyal ministers from generation to generation should share the worries of the new king and marry a wife." The second old man said with emotion, "After this Once I got sick, I finally understood that nothing is better than an old wife. Just say your second aunt, don’t look at me for not giving me a good face on weekdays, I know her heart. This is a good wife, what better Children and grandchildren are reliable."

Lin Jing smiled, "Oh, it's really rare for you, second uncle, to speak clearly."

"I understand what you said, but you are an idiot!" The second old man asked Lin Jing, "What do you think of my method?"

Lin Jingdao, "This new monarch is believed to be under the knee of Emperor De. In terms of seniority, he is the grandchild of my aunt. Where can we find suitable girls in the next branch? Besides, if a wise monarch, will there be any beautiful girls in the palace? You can't treat our family badly. If you are really prejudiced, sending a good girl to the palace will not delay you for a lifetime."

"At this time, we can't force people into the palace." Lin Jing said.

"Why? What you said about being wise or not is too lofty. Let me tell you, in this world, the more connected you are, the better the relationship will be."

"No, there are too many people who want to surround Xinjun now, so let's not join in the fun."

Even the second old man can think about Xinjun's pillow affairs, so one can imagine how many people in the imperial capital are worrying about Xinjun's pillow affairs.Lin Jing didn't plan to join in the fun, he thought it was boring.

Yes, such calculations in the palace and court are something that many people enjoy all their lives, but Lin Jing already feels bored.
