Chapter 2473 Mother, I Will Behave Myself Today
The sky was dim, and the remaining stars were twinkling.
The whole Qianqing Palace was brightly lit, and the eunuchs and maids were all going in and out, very busy.
Just below the Qianqing Palace, the chariot carriage was ready.
"The prince is like the rising sun, so he should be canonized as early as possible."
Zhu Zhanji stood on the platform outside Qianqing Palace, looking at the dark night in the distance, and said, "Are you all ready?"
Yu Jia stayed up all night, and now she cheered up and said, "Your Majesty, everything in the palace is in order. It's time for you to have breakfast."
Zhu Zhanji nodded, and Yu Jia turned around and glared at several eunuchs.
Two large pot stickers filled with vermicelli and egg skin, with a subtle marinade.
After Zhu Zhanji finished eating, a palace maid served him tea. He only took a sip and said, "Go to Jinshen Hall."
"Your Majesty's decree... come to Jinshen Palace..."
a eunuch shouted sharply.
With just one shout, the entire palace seemed to come alive.
Countless eunuchs and maids lined up beside them and then knelt down.
"Long live your Majesty!"
Zhu Zhanji looked at these indifferently, knowing that it should be Yu Jia who did it.
He was wearing a military uniform, an imperial crown on his head, and his steps were steady.
There are twelve ridges on the front and back of the crown, and there are twelve jade beads on each ridge.
The beads collided gently together, making a crisp sound.
Zhu Zhanji's gaze passed between these jade beads.
He saw those powerful eunuchs lined up below, which was a warning.
The capital must also be on alert.
He nodded slightly and reached the first step with his left foot.
He told himself: This is a beginning!
…
Outside the Meridian Gate, officials gradually gathered.
Jinwu guards were arranged neatly outside the Meridian Gate, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Those who are qualified to appear here, whether they are old or young and vigorous, all feel that they have gained a few pounds at this moment.
Yang Rong looked at the Meridian Gate and murmured: "Here he comes!"
Yang Shiqi behind him whispered: "Yes! It reminds me of the scene when Emperor Wen appointed the crown prince."
"What I am thinking of is the scene when Emperor Ren conferred the title of His Majesty."
After whispering for a while, the old ministers were all a little sad.
…
In Kunning Palace, the confused Corn was put on the crown prince's crown, which was just the Nine-Liang Crown and Nine-Zhang Dress.
The jade beads hung down, jingling, and the jade beads were cold, falling on Corn's face, making it impossible for him to doze off again.
"Queen mother..."
Corn opened his eyes drowsily, and Duanduan had already covered his face with a towel.
The warmth made Corn want to sleep again, but the towel left quickly. He felt a little cold on his face and complained: "My sister is bullying."
Hu Shanxiang didn't sleep all night. When he saw the appearance of the corn, he said: "My son, wake up well, your father has already started to go to Jinshen Palace."
Duanduan whispered: "Good brother, be good today. When you come back, my sister will let you eat your favorite food."
Corn opened her eyes, immediately became energetic, and said seriously: "Sister, don't lie to others!"
Duanduan blinked and said, "Sister, I won't lie to you. You'll have it when you get back."
"good!"
Yi'an strode over and whispered: "Empress, Your Majesty went to Jinshen Hall half an hour early. This is probably to make some preparations for His Majesty."
Hu Shanxiang nodded, but in his heart he felt that this was urging.
But Corn is still a child!
She glanced at the corn again and said cruelly: "Go!"
Yi'an came over and held the corn,
Said: "Your Highness, let's go see His Majesty."
Corn slowly remembered what she had been told every day recently, and said, "Okay."
Yi'an led him out, and when he reached the door, Corn suddenly stopped.
Yi An frowned, worried that there was not enough time.
Hu Shanxiang and Duanduan were anxious and urged: "Corn, hurry up."
Corn turned around, looked at his mother and sister, and asked seriously in her delicate voice: "Mother, if I behave well today, no one will bully you in the future?"
In an instant, Hu Shanxiang lost her self-control. She covered her face and burst into tears.
Duanduan was a little at a loss. Seeing his mother crying, Corn thought he had said something wrong, so he came over and, like last time, held her face with a pair of small hands and lifted it up hard.
…
The entire capital has been under martial law since last night. No one is allowed to go out. If the violators are caught, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division will immediately transfer it to Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Every family has nothing to do, so there are many more people sleeping in.
The sound of snoring is hovering over the capital. This is a city that is suspended.
The city walls were full of soldiers, and within the sight of the telescope, anyone who dared to attack the city gate would be turned into corpses.
"Someone!"
A sergeant screamed, causing everyone to turn their attention.
In the cold early morning, more than ten riders gradually appeared in sight, followed by two rows of people on foot.
Like an army!
In the mist, the telescope was temporarily unable to see clearly.
"alert……"
The crossbow is cocked and the horn is in the hands of the sergeant. Once the military order is issued, the powerful horn sound will wake up the capital.
At this time, the dozen or so riders sped up, and the guard at the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, and said: "After checking, there is no order, and he is not allowed to come in even though he is the vassal king."
The hanging basket was put down and people were quickly pulled up.
"Uncle Xinghe was ordered to return to Beijing to observe the ceremony."
The guard checked his identity and said, "Why are you entering the city now?"
The one who came to the top of the city was Xiao Dao. He said, "If you have a will, don't worry about it. You will get into trouble just because you are curious about many things."
Today is the day for the crown prince’s canonization!
The guard was horrified and waved his hand: "Open the city gate!"
…
The city gate opened a crack, and Fang Xing entered first.
"Uncle, these outsiders are..."
The city gate was closed yesterday, blocking out half of the monks. If they wanted to enter the city, they had to wait for more than half an hour.
Fang Xing turned around and looked at the monks and Taoists who were filing in, and said, "They want to pray for the Crown Prince, and Your Majesty allows them."
This is an opportunity for reconciliation.
The royal family is wary of these monks, so this time they are allowed to come to Beijing to pray for the prince. This is an opportunity.
Even though Fang Xing's statement last night was a bit negative, it was a pragmatic statement and very candid.
The city gate was halfway open, and the monks on one side and the Taoist priest on the other side slowly entered the city.
When the guard saw the monks leaning towards one side of the street, each of them clearly distinguished from one another, he asked, "It hasn't started yet, has it?"
"Sir, it's almost done."
"Look, my lord."
Just in front, Taoist priests bowed their heads, monks folded their hands, and chanting suddenly began.
There are Taoist scriptures on one side and Buddhist scriptures on the other.
The voices were solemn and low, gradually coming together.
The snoring gradually stopped, and countless people lay behind the doors and windows of their homes and looked out.
The chanting became louder and louder, gradually awakening the world's largest city.
Gradually some clouds floated on the horizon, and the stars dispersed, leaving only the bright light.
