Yu Zhining came from the Yu family of Gaoling and the Guanlong family. His great-grandfather Yu Jin was the Taishi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and one of the eight pillars of the country. He was rich and noble for generations. He was a Guanlong family with a strong roots.

What is even more rare is that Yu Zhining was under Li Shimin's command as early as the end of Daye Year and the beginning of Wude Year, and was also the first group to serve Li Shimin. Therefore, Yu Zhining was extremely trusted by Li Shimin and was even more loyal to Li Shimin.

If Li Shimin is afraid of Li Ke and set up defenses against Li Ke, it would never be so. Li Shimin's army and horses have been more than ten years of battles, and Li Ke is still far behind Li Shimin. Li Shimin put Yu Zhining in the East Palace first to help Yu Zhining learn from Li Chengqian's lessons and assist Li Ke happily, and secondly, to put his own eyeliner in the East Palace.

But no matter what, these are no longer important. The edict has been issued and he has become the crown prince. Why should he care too much about Yu Zhining, the left concubine son of the crown prince?

Three days later, in the Xiande Hall, the prince added a ceremony to the title.

The crown prince was given a title, and all officials arrived together. Li Shimin also wore a crown of Tongtian. The crimson robe came from Tai Chi Palace on a carriage. When the guest was given a title, he was praised and took the position. After all officials bowed together, the crown prince's ceremony was officially kicked off.

The most important part of the ceremony of the crown prince’s enthronement was two links, one was the crown and the other was the seal award.

The so-called seal is to pass on the crown prince's seal, ribbon and other tokens of crown princes. This matter should be done by the prime minister. Among the prime ministers, Du Ruhui, the right servant of the Shangshu, was also the secretary of the crown prince's office. The matter of awarding seal naturally fell on Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui's award of the seal was reasonable and was expected by Li Ke, but the candidate for the crown was somewhat beyond Li Ke's expectations, but it seemed that the crown was reasonable. The crown was not someone else, but Situ Changsun Wuji.

The ceremony of crowning is to be the eldest son who holds important positions. Cen Wenben can do it, Li Jing can do it, and even if it is not suitable for Li Daozong and Yang Shidao, there is no shortage of people. However, when Li Shimin handed over the ceremony of crowning to Changsun Wuji, it had a deeper meaning.

Changsun Wuji and Li Ke are not in harmony. This is well known to everyone in the court, and Li Shimin himself knows it, but Li Shimin still did it, and it is his consideration. It is not difficult to guess why Li Shimin did this. Li Shimin was probably intentionally using this matter to ease the relationship between Li Ke and Changsun Wuji.

Chengqian was deposed and Li Ke should be established. Since Li Ke was the crown prince, he would become the monarch of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Changsun Wuji met Li Shimin when he was young. Changsun Wuji was both Li Shimin's close relatives and friends, and his right-hand man and an important official in the court.

Li Ke was the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin naturally did not want his crown prince to be incompatible with his right-hand man. This was to ease the relationship between Li Ke and Changsun Wuji and make good court officials, and to leave a way out for the future Changsun Wuji and the Changsun family.

"I will be crowned by the crown prince, and I should praise you!"

With the sing of Yu Zhining, the Minister of the Secretariat and the Left Prince of the Crown Prince, Changsun Wuji bowed forward three times, took over the crown prince's crown from the hands of the official ritual, and slowly walked towards Li Ke with the crown prince's crown.

The crown prince was added, this was not once Changsun Wuji. When Li Chengqian appointed the crown prince, it was Changsun Wuji who was promoted to the crown prince for the crown prince and Li Chengqian. The address of the crown was also in Xiande Hall.

After only thirteen years, time has passed, and the old crown prince Li Chengqian has been abolished and is now exiled to Qianzhou. Now standing in front of Changsun Wuji is the new crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke, who is well-known all over the world.

Who would have thought that the Hanzhong prince who stood in the corner outside the Chongming Gate and no one cared about now became the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. In just thirteen years, Li Ke has done something that many people can never do in their entire lives. A three-child son who had no chance was stunned and seized all the opportunities he could seize, and got to this day step by step.

From the prince of Hanzhong, to the king of Shu, to the king of Chu, to the great governor of Yangzhou, to the great governor of Bingzhou, and finally to the crown prince today. Even Changsun Wuji could not understand why Li Ke was able to reach this point today, but it was just such a young man who could not understand and could not see through. He was only young.

"I am following the order of Your Majesty to add a crown to the crown prince." Changsun Wuji walked carefully to Li Ke with the crown prince and said to Li Ke.

At this time, when Li Ke stood here, he had already walked out of his pride and ecstasy when he first won the crown prince.

Li Ke stood facing all the officials, with a serious expression, standing in the middle of the hall without any sorrow or joy, standing in front of Changsun Wuji, and said to Changsun Wuji: "I'm sorry, Sikong."

After saying that, Li Ke and Changsun Wuji bowed together, knelt in the hall, waiting for Changsun Wuji to give him a crown.

Li Ke was already in a weak crown and had already grown up. In addition, Li Ke has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his body was not only strong, but also taller than others. He was half a head taller than Changsun Wuji, who was about six feet tall. Even if he was kneeling, he was still a little taller than Changsun Wuji. It was not easy for Changsun Wuji, who was already wide and fat, to crown Li Ke.

Changsun Wuji stood in front of Li Ke, struggling to raise his toes, and exerted force forward, supporting his broad and fat body, making his body lean forward, and then slowly raised his arms. It took a lot of effort to put the crown prince crown on Li Ke's head. It was even more difficult to set up a hairpin and make a necklace.

After Li Ke added the crown, Changsun Wuji stepped down and then gave the seal.

The Secretary of State's Right Pushe, and the Crown Prince's Secretary Du Ruhui held a jade plate with the seal of the crown prince in his hand. He walked steadily to Li Ke, slowly knelt down, held the jade plate to Li Ke's chest, and said to Li Ke: "I am ordered by Your Majesty to give the seal to the crown prince, and ask the crown prince to receive the seal."

Li Ke leaned slightly, took the jade plate from Du Ruhui's hands, held it in his own hands, and said to Du Ruhui: "It's time for you to do it."

In front of the emperor and all officials, the ceremony of giving seals was completed. Li Ke officially became the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the crown prince who entered the Eastern Palace.

After that, Yu Zhining sang again: "To the fullest year, to the order of the month, to the fullest, to achieve great virtue, to live forever and inherit the glory of heaven."

Yu Zhining's words meant that the ceremony of the crown prince's enthronement was coming to an end. The ministers in the hall gathered from both sides in the middle, bowed to Li Ke who was kneeling in the hall and bowed, saying, "I will pay homage to the crown prince and congratulate the crown prince to ascend to the crown prince."

In the hall, all the officials in the capital were there, and Li Ke sat in the upper head in the middle of the hall, watching the ministers who were worshiping by His Highness, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji and others, all the important officials in the court were among them. Of course, this also included the unwilling but helpless King Li Tai of Wei.

Previously, Li Ke had been worshipped by ten thousand people in the army, but the feeling was far less than today. Today he was in the Eastern Palace, in the Xiande Hall, and above his enthronement ceremony. This was not only a court ceremony, but also a transfer of power. At this moment, the title of the Tang Dynasty's National Priest really fell on Li Ke.
