“Hahaha, great. In that case, I will draw up the imperial edict for the Zen position now and inform all the ministers.” Zhao Heng suddenly stood up with a smile on his face. He was even happier than the countries in the southern region who had proclaimed their vassalage to Dasong.
In fact, as Empress Mi said, he now wants to abdicate.
After all, the power of Da Song now rests in the hands of Zhao Xu. As an emperor, there is no difference between being an emperor and being an emperor.
Furthermore, there is another very important reason.
Although Zhao Xu was not in a hurry to ascend the throne as emperor, his generals and officials were gradually losing their patience.
Due to the relationship between father and son, Zhao Xu can still be on good terms with him on the surface.
But these officials and generals were not so polite to him in private.
According to some veterans from Jinling, many Yanzhou officials had proposed to persuade the King of Yan to force the palace.
With the defeat of Beidi in Yongzhou, the great troubles in the north were eliminated, and the country of Dasong became peaceful and prosperous, the wishes of these officials became stronger.
During Zhao Xu’s journey south, some officials even stopped tabooing it and even talked about it openly.
Although he considered himself incompetent, he had also experienced power manipulation for a long time, and he knew that this was done deliberately by the generals and officials under King Yan, just to give him a reminder.
Now, he is in the Zen position on his own, and he can still look good.
But if he still insists on holding on to the throne, I am afraid that the people under King Yan will really try to force him into the palace.
“Thank you, father, for your kindness.” Zhao Xu no longer resisted at this time, and this thank you was an agreement.
In fact, he also knew the reason why Zhao Heng was busy with the Zen position, but it was just a tacit understanding between the two parties.
He knew everything about Dasong’s court. Xu Kedu told him exactly what Liu Fuchangwei and the others were doing.
The gang under him didn’t have a good impression of Zhao Heng.
He could still call Zhao Heng “Emperor”, he was the reason why he forced his head down.
They remember clearly that Zhao Heng was mean to Yanzhou in the past.
Since they didn’t want to endure Zhao Heng anymore, and he felt that the time had come, he would just take over the throne.
As for Zhao Heng, even if he abdicates, he can still spend his remaining years in Yancheng, which is the end of his benevolence.
After talking to them about some common things, Zhao Xu returned to the palace.
It seems that it was Zhao Heng’s instruction, and the news of the Zen position spread like wildfire from the palace, sweeping through the entire Yancheng immediately like a strong wind.
“Your Highness agreed?”
In the city outside Wuji Palace, in the capital hall where the prime minister works.
Because Liu Fu was excited, he used too much force on the pencil in his hand and the tip of the pen broke.
But he didn’t care about this, but firmly grasped the little eunuch’s collar.
“It’s absolutely true, this is what Manager Liang said himself.” The young eunuch smiled playfully.
When Liang Cheng released the news, the palace exploded.
Once the old emperor abdicates and the new emperor ascends the throne, the Wuji Palace will change hands.
Zhao Heng and Queen Mi are both moving out, so naturally King Yan and Princess Mi are moving in.
At that time, they eunuchs and maids will also change their masters.
Some shrewd people like him couldn’t help but come out in advance to reveal the news, hoping to get a good start after the new emperor ascends the throne.
“His Highness finally agreed, hahaha, great, it should have been like this a long time ago. All the people in the world have been waiting for this day with their eyes peeled.” Liu Fu laughed.
Then, he put away his smile and walked out of the capital hall like the wind, heading towards the palace.
At this time, the young eunuch said: “My name is Xiao Guizi, sir. Don’t forget to say a few kind words for me in front of His Highness.”
Liu Fu nodded and walked out.
As soon as I left the capital hall, I saw Chang Wei, Yang Feng, Yang He and other ministers.
They were all beaming and hurried out one by one, fearing that they would be left behind.
Seeing this, he immediately joined the crowd.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they scrambled to get in first and then squeezed into the palace, barely making a move.
At this time, Zhao Xu was already waiting in the meeting hall.
He knew very well that from now until the end of the Zen Ceremony, he would never have any leisure time.
“Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness is expected to inherit the throne, and only His Highness to be in charge of the country can the people feel stable.” Chang Wei had the strongest physical strength and was the first to enter the meeting hall.
Seeing Zhao Xu, he hurriedly congratulated loudly.
Liu Fu came in second. Although he was a civil servant and his physical strength was not as good as Chang Wei’s, he was young and strong and could still keep up.
After taking a few deep breaths, he bowed and said, “Congratulations to Your Highness, the vegetation will bloom in spring, the fish and shrimps will live in the water, and the animals will thrive if there are forests. When Your Highness ascends the throne, it will be like the arrival of spring, when the water comes, the trees will flourish, and I will praise you greatly.” It will be prosperous…”
At the end, Liu Fu shouted loudly.
“Okay, okay, talk less.” Zhao Xu was so praised by Liu Fu that he got goosebumps all over his body.
Seeing that Liu Fu was still going to continue, he quickly stopped.
This Chang Wei was a rough man with no literary talent, and his words of congratulation were simple and plain.
He really couldn’t stand Liu Fu’s use of such harsh words.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Feng, Dong An, Yang He, Zou Rong and other ministers came one after another.
For a time, congratulations continued in the assembly hall.
Zhao Xu did not reject anyone who came and accepted them one by one.
When things have reached this point, there is nothing to hide.
After all the important ministers had arrived, Zhao Xu said: “The Zen ceremony should not be extravagant and wasteful. Keep everything simple and leave this matter to the Ministry of Rites.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhu Tuo responded.
The post of Minister of Rites is currently held by him.
As the first county governor of Yan County, he naturally rose to prominence after the unification of Dasong.
Zhao Xu looked at Zou Rong again, “Your Ministry of Industry is responsible for renovating the palace. From now on, this will be the palace of the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor.”
After ascending the throne, he could no longer live in the palace according to etiquette.
Zhao Heng and Queen Mi also had to move away.
In Yancheng, apart from the Wuji Palace, his palace is the most luxurious. They can just replace each other without building any more buildings.
This is also what Queen Mi and Zhao Heng meant.
“The last is the auspicious day of the zodiac. You have to choose. I can only wait until you are ready, and then I will ask the emperor to perform the abdication ceremony.” Zhao Xu finally said.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Everyone bowed and saluted together.
They all looked up and looked happy.
King Yan said this, so the abdication ceremony was finalized.
What they had been hoping for for many years finally came true.
After discussing for a while, it was decided that Yang Susu would be crowned queen, Luan’er would be Shufei, Feng’er would be Defei, and the dragon robe would be given. However, Zhao Xu, who was making trouble with the ministers, drove everyone away.
As the ministers came out of the palace, the news that Zhao Xu was about to ascend the throne immediately spread among the people.
That night, every household in Yancheng was talking excitedly after tea and dinner.
Jinlin hot pot restaurant on the west bank of Jinlin Pond.
Four workers who had just finished work at the steel mill sat down at the hot pot restaurant and ordered food, and they couldn’t help but gossip.
One person said, “If you ask me, the emperor should have given the throne to King Yan long ago. We, King Yan, represent the people’s hearts.”
“No, as soon as the news came that His Highness King Yan was going to ascend the throne, I felt like I had taken a reassurance. From now on, this day will definitely become more and more prosperous.” Another person said.
“It goes without saying that we couldn’t even afford to wear pants before, so how can we come here every now and then to have hot pot?” said the man opposite the two.
Immediately, the four of them laughed together, feeling sad but more satisfied with their current lives.
