Chapter 789 Prince Edward
The so-called spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the flowers in one day. Even if Yang Shu drank a glass of water now, he felt that the aftertaste was endless and the taste was sweet.
In the Battle of the North Gate, although Yang Shu did not take the lead, he rode on a big horse and carried a gun, and even swung a knife with his own hands to kill three people.
So Yang Shu's hands were stained with blood, and he thought he was worthy of his prestige and current glory.
Relying on the secret surrender of Huang Zishan, the guard of the north gate, Yang Shu planned to use an ambush conspired by King Shou, King Qi, and King Wu to kill the three of them in turn.
Doing mental calculations or not, King Shou, King Qi, and King Wu thought they were praying mantises catching cicadas, but they didn't know that there was a yellow sparrow behind them. Turning their backs at this time completely ruined all the lives of the three of them.
The heads that Yang Shu chopped off with his own hands belonged to the three elder brothers who were defeated by him. The mood at that time was different from what Yang Shu had thought before. There was no guilt or confusion at all. The moment of the first human head was completely released.
If you win, you win everything.
Lose, lose everything.
This is the cruel "big test" of the royal lineage, and it is also the foundation of the inheritance of the Yang family in Jingjiu Dynasty for thousands of years. Vicious, prudent, decisive, resourceful, powerful, and lucky, only those who have these qualities and luck can become the prince of the Jingjiu Dynasty, and will eventually become the emperor of the Jingjiu Dynasty.
Yang Shu was alive, killed all his opponents, from being the least favored to now winning all, his aura reached its peak, shocked the eyes of the whole place, and also scared many, many people, and countless people who followed him were ecstatic.
The joyous ones were mainly merchants and emerging nobles, who saw a rise in status. This is why they have spared no effort to help and follow Yang Shu for many years. In a sense, what Yang Shu represented was their interests, and Yang Shu's victory was the first time that a force that had never appeared in the top political structure of the old Jing Dynasty emerged for the first time.
The old clan dominated the upper structure of the old Jing Dynasty, like a barracks made of iron, and the emperor became a "flowing soldier" instead. Not to mention merchants and emerging nobles who don't want to be leeks all the time and want to climb up, because the door to go up is blocked.
Since the door is blocked, climb the window!
If the windows are all blocked, then tear down the walls, destroy the house and rebuild!
This is not a conjecture, but an inevitable situation. Yang Shu's temperament is by no means a fickle person. He has benefited from merchants and emerging nobles along the way, and he will definitely repay him in the future. In the same way, how many difficulties and constraints Yang Shu has suffered from the old forces along the way will surely be repaid double.
Like Yang Shu, all the guest officials under the command of Lingwang's mansion, and even the servants in the mansion, were smiling endlessly.
After winning the "big test" is the transfer of power. It started almost the day after the Battle of the North Gate ended. Almost non-stop.
The first thing to hand over is the household affairs that Yang Shu is most familiar with. In this regard, the emperor ordered Bai Changqing, the Shangshu of the household department, to directly admit his authority to Yang Shu. In other words, Yang Shu will be directly in charge of the household department, and Bai Changqing will be directly responsible to Yang Shu.
On the third day after that, on the occasion of the funeral bells of King Shou, King Qi, and King Wu, the golden bell rang at the palace gate, a total of eighty-one rings, and the middle door was opened wide, and the golden sedan chair was used to welcome Yang Shu in. The imperial palace, staying in the Prince's East Palace on the east side, on the same day, Yang Shu added a prefix to the royal family roster: Prince.
In the thirty-first year of the old calendar, on the thirteenth day of the ninth month, Lingwang Shu stood out as the best of his peers in the royal family. He had the potential to inherit great treasures.
On September 14th, at the Great Court Assembly, Yang Shu wore the crown prince’s royal uniform and sat under the stage on the left side of the emperor for the first time. Facing the officials, he was paid respects by them.
On this day, there was an extra round of sun in the sky of Jingjiu Dynasty. Although it was not as bright as the original one, it was still shining brightly and could not be seen directly.
After the court meeting, on September 15th, Yang Shu waited in the palace square early in the morning, and followed the emperor's car out of the palace. All the way, the emperor opened the way with etiquette and went to Fenghong Villa outside the city.
This is the first time that the emperor and the crown prince travel, and they are still offering sacrifices to their ancestors, so they didn't use the teleportation circle, and wanted to show the royal dignity and etiquette. And this is also the first time the crown prince has shown his cards to the outside world, at least for the common people in the imperial city to see.
As soon as he left the city gate, the emperor called and asked Yang Shu to go and ride with him. There should be something to say.
It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, even Yang Shu felt that sitting in the same carriage with his father would make him more nervous than when he was in the battle of life and death outside the North Gate.
"You talk, I'll go out and have a look." Yang Xiusheng nodded at Yang Shu, got out of the carriage, and followed outside. He knew that the following was a private conversation between father and son, and it was not suitable for him to sit next to him to avoid embarrassment.
As soon as Yang Xiusheng left, Yang Shu remained cautious. Speaking of which, it must have been more than ten years since he and his father rode in the same carriage, right? Yang Shu thought about it.
When he was young, the emperor gave Yang Shu the impression that he was unsmiling, but still kind; when he was young, the emperor was synonymous with majesty and irreversibility in Yang Shu's heart; He and the referee could only watch from afar, not daring to look directly at him.
"Raise your head. You are now the crown prince of Jingjiu Dynasty, and soon you will be the emperor of the world. You no longer need to bow your head to anyone, and you no longer need to look at anyone's face, including Zhen."
There was a smile on Yang Jian's pale face, he was very proud and relaxed. He has completed 80% of his last task after becoming emperor, and it will be completed after today, even more than a month earlier than he expected. In other words, Yang Shu's excellence has exceeded his expectations. That's good, Yang Shu will be the emperor in the future, how can the emperor be manipulated to death? Unexpected is what an emperor should look like.
"Yes, father." Yang Shu raised his head while his chest heaved violently a few times. The few words the emperor said just now made him very emotionally unstable, and his chest seemed to be on fire, and now he managed to suppress it.
Raising his head, Yang Shu realized that his father was already very old. Although his eyes were still bright, his whole body was weak, and his body was huddled in limpness, as if he was about to fall asleep at any time. .
"Very well, I'm just an old man who is about to die, and you are the future of this empire. So you have to get used to a straight back and arrogance."
"My son understands!"
"There are important things to go to the ancestral hall this time besides worshiping the ancestors. It is also a top secret passed down from generation to generation by the royal family, and it is also the last hurdle for you to take over the throne. You must be mentally prepared."
