pear blossoms fall to the end of the night

Chapter 77

On Bingyin Day, in the early morning, the sky was still groggy, and the imperial guards guarding the palace had long been dressed up and stood guarding His Royal Highness Zhaoyang majestically. On both sides of the long staircase, there were all civil and military officials standing neatly, and they were like this Standing in the cold wind for several hours, holding the fluorene board in his hand, the exposed fingers were red from the cold. Although the weather was very cold, no one dared to be lazy. Being disrespected in front of the palace by ginseng, he despised the royal family.

The ceremonial officer stood at the end of the line. He watched Zhaohua's imperial chariot approaching from a distance, and shouted loudly: "The emperor is here."

Although the salute officer was old, his voice was very loud, and it was very clear outside the empty Zhaoyang Hall. All the officials fell to their knees and shouted: "Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty."

The ceremony of registering a crown prince has been very important since ancient times, so even if the etiquette is cumbersome, there can be no difference.

Zhaohua sat on the chariot, his expression was neither cold nor hot, and he could not see sadness or happiness. The chariot was carried to Zhaoyang Hall, and at the gate of the hall, Zhaohua waved his hand to signal the eunuch who was carrying the chariot to stop.Empress Hui also arrived at Zhaoyang Hall, waiting for Zhaohua to enter the hall together.

As Zhaohua walked into the Zhaoyang Hall, all the officials also entered the hall one after another.Zhou Fu, who was behind Zhaohua, put the jade seal in his hand carefully in front of the dragon case, and the praise officer stepped forward to remind him: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is already waiting."

Zhaohua raised his hand, glanced at Huihou from the corner of his eye, and found that Huihou's face was full of unconcealable joy, and said coldly, "Let's start."

As soon as Zhaohua's voice fell, the ceremonial officer gestured to the music officer at the side with his eyes, and the upright and elegant sound slowly sounded like a mountain and flowing water, but everyone didn't have the heart to appreciate the melodious sound, and all turned their heads sideways to wait for the prince. arrival.

"The ceremony begins."

Originally, Empress Hui was not supposed to appear at the crown prince's canonization ceremony, but Daming only had a female emperor and no queen, so the empress who was supposed to accompany the emperor was replaced by Empress Hui. Qin Zheng is the only blood of King Chen, and she For the last contact with her son, she would never miss Qin Zheng's canonization ceremony.

After a while, Qin Zheng was led to the front of the hall by the ordering officer.Qin Zheng was dressed in a yellow python suit, with nine white beads on his head, and a dark red ribbon hanging from his shoulders. His four-year-old body looked a bit bulky under the heavy clothes, but his expression was very serious. In the words of Queen Hui That is, there is already an emperor's air between the eyebrows.

The making officer shouted: "There is a system."

The salute officer over there shouted: "Kneel."

Qin Zheng knelt down obediently and kowtowed, Bai Xiwan's words echoed in his heart all the time, as long as he was obedient and listened to Huihou's words, his adoptive father would be saved. Qin Zheng didn't quite understand why he suddenly became a prince , Queen Hui told him that his real father was her son, the former King Chen, who was born with great dignity, so he became the prince.Faced with a series of accidents, Qin Zheng was determined to do something, but he was very soft-spoken. Although Hui Hou loved him, she would not let him do it. Later, even Bai Xiwan began to ignore his crying , as if Jing Li had been forgotten.

The Xuanzhi official announced: "Canonize Qin Zheng as the crown prince, and give him the title of Zhaoqi."

Qi was given to Qin Zheng by Empress Hui, implying that the Qi family would rule the country and the world, and the historians on the side had their brushes flying around to record this grand moment.

The official who made the system showed a smile, "The system has been passed on."

The salutation officer announced the book ceremony.Then he knelt again and read again.

After a lot of tossing, when he arrived in front of Zhaohua, Qin Zheng felt that his legs were about to break.However, he still has to go to worship the thirsty ancestral temple, pay homage to his ancestors, and accept the worship of the people on the way.

Queen Hui looked at Qin Zheng with a tired look on his face, and coughed softly to remind Zhaohua to speed up.

Hearing the voice, Zhaohua took the treasure book and the prince's seal from Ouyang Yi and handed it to Qin Zheng. Originally, receiving the prince treasure book was done by the prime minister of the current dynasty, but Song Yaosheng was locked up in the sky. In the prison, thinking of this, Zhaohua's eyes hurt again. She knew very well what it meant to her to be a crown prince. Once Qin Zheng took the position of crown prince, Queen Hui would definitely have no scruples, and she would definitely find a reason in the future Let himself die, but when he thinks of Concubine Jingwen under house arrest and Song Yaosheng in the dungeon, Zhaohua has no choice.

"From today onwards, you are the prince. In the future, you should work hard and work hard to share the country's worries."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Zhaohua thought about attacking Qin Zheng, but in the end it was her own nephew, with that blood, she couldn't do it.

……

On the other side of the prison, the jailers were rewarded for being crowned prince, and they were sitting around the table eating meat and drinking.

"It's all right now. With the crown prince, the foundation of Daming will be stable, and the brothers will sleep more peacefully in the future."

Fighting between gods and gods brings harm to mortals, and the most fearful thing for small soldiers like them is to be implicated.

Another jailer said: "That's right, when the former crown prince and Chen Wang were fighting for the throne, how many people died in this palace, how can you say that the crown prince's life is good? Although he suffered a little bit in the past few years, but now he is not Prince, aside from fine clothes and good food, becoming emperor in the future is a certainty, and no one will compete with him at all."

Wang Jia took a sip of the wine and reprimanded: "It's alright, it's alright, don't talk about the things above, be careful if you hear about beheading, don't drink, go to work."

After finishing speaking, Wang Jia picked up the food box next to him, "Look carefully, I'll deliver food to the person inside."

Speaking of the man inside, everyone's expressions became self-evident. At the beginning, the jailers were a little in awe of the former prime minister, but after Huihou whipped him, they also treated him like grass on the wall. She insulted her frequently, and some people saw her very beautiful and wanted to treat her lightly, but they were all stopped by Wang Jia.

"Wang Jia doesn't think he wants to hide and eat alone."

"Shh, keep your voice down, you will be miserable if he hears you."

Wang Jia walked to the door of Song Yaosheng's cell in two or three steps, and naturally he didn't hear the obscenities behind him, Song Yaosheng still leaned against the wall blankly, his eyes didn't know where it fell.

Wang Jia called softly: "Master Xiang, it's time to eat."

Song Yaosheng just got up and went to the door to take the food box, opened it, and found that the soup was not as usual, and the dishes were full of chicken, duck and fish. Song Yaosheng raised her eyebrows and asked silently.

Wang Jia arched his hands and said: "In the past, the higher-ups watched closely and wronged Mr. Xiang. Today's dishes are specially ordered by Mr. Chu, saying that you can only do big things when you are full."

Song Yaosheng smiled, "I see, let's go out."

As soon as Wang Jia left, the cell became quiet again. Song Yaosheng ate silently, counting the time in her mind. She had to say that Yimiao's medicine was very effective, and thanks to the fact that it was winter, the wound on her body was not festered and inflamed. On the fifth day, most of the scabs had faded.

Song Yaosheng ate very slowly, as if she was enjoying the only decent meal in the past few days, and seemed to be passing the time. At this moment, her mood was not disturbed at all, but she was eager to try. She laughed at herself, as if she was in a daze with Wei Young After a long time, she also caught the other party's temperament of having fun while suffering.

After a while, Song Yaosheng faintly heard movement from below, and at the same time there was noise outside the cell, suddenly a hole was opened in the ground, and flying flowers emerged from it.

"Master Xiang!"

Song Yaosheng's face twitched, obviously she didn't expect Feihua to rescue her in such a way, "How many days have you been digging this tunnel?"

Feihua crawled out of the tunnel neatly, followed by several hidden guards.

"Master Xiang, no more, no less, exactly five days. The sky prison is close to the cold palace, and the servants and servants dug nearly two miles from there. Because the foundation stone under the sky prison was too hard, it took another two days."

Seeing Feihua's eyes were red, Song Yaosheng thought that she must be worrying about her non-stop, so she nodded to her, "Thank you."

Feihua was praised, but she just smiled faintly, took the fur coat from the hidden guard at the side and put it on Song Yaosheng, "Master Xiang, our people have already attacked, General Zhou is probably already at the Meridian Gate by now, Let's hurry up and meet him."

At the end, he straightened Song Yaosheng's clothes and hair, "I was too anxious when I went out, I only brought a fur coat, thinking about protecting Xiangye from the cold, I hope Xiangye don't blame me."

Song Yaosheng chuckled, "It would be great if you could think of bringing me a fur coat, how could I be so confused that I would blame you, let's go, Wang Jia won't be able to last long while there is a commotion outside."

"Ah."
