Chapter 81 Yuanjing Emperor's Longevity Festival
Later, under the pressure of ministers, the officials were not allowed to choose a child from the royal family to enter the palace.
This is the first adopted son of Emperor Jing of Yuan and Empress Yang, Chai Ziyan.
Chai Ziyan has been smart since childhood. He will never forget his poems and articles after teaching them once. Therefore, he is very pleased by the officials and the queen, and once again awakens the dead heart of the officials.
So Chai Ziyan was made the prince at the age of thirteen and named King Rong. The following year, he was made the crown prince, which shows the importance and love of the officials.
But Chai Ziyan did not have the will to be emperor and died of illness in August of the 14th year of Yuanjing at the age of 22.
This was a big blow to Emperor Jing of Yuan. Since then, this official rarely showed a smile in front of everyone, and even suffered from "social phobia". He generally refused to go to court to follow the government without any major issues.
I followed Cui Miyuan's arrangements for the court affairs, and Empress Yang was in charge of the affairs in the palace, and he himself became a clay-sculpted Bodhisattva.
However, the problem of the heirs of the Great Zhou Dynasty was always to be solved, so under the personal leadership of Queen Yang, children were selected from the royal family to enter the palace.
This time, Empress Yang became smarter and no longer chose only one person, but chose two seemingly well-behaved children from many clans.
In order to prevent their biological parents and brothers from interfering in politics in the future, Empress Yang specially chose two royal sons who had a distant blood relationship, had both parents and had no brothers and sisters to enter the palace, and they were both adopted sons in name.
Queen Yang has selfish intentions. Such a child has no aid from outside the palace and will be able to control himself in the future.
Since the two children entered the palace, they have begun strict learning and teaching by various great scholars and famous teachers, as well as orthodox royal education.
Moreover, Empress Yang did not enthrone the two "adopted sons" at the beginning, but only appointed them as low-level "public officials" like Chengfenglang and Chengwulang.
The purpose is to listen to what he says, observe what he does, and then choose a suitable prince from it, and the other person is just a spare tire.
After years of "selecting", Queen Yang observed that the two "adopted sons" had very different personalities.
Chai Ziyun is particularly revealing, lacks aura, is too clever and is quite conceited.
Another adopted son, Chai Zijin, was loyal and honest, and he did not fight or rob, but because of this, he seemed rather dull and pedantic and did not know how to adapt.
As an emperor, if he is too honest, his monarchy will easily be undermined.
Just like Chai Honghua, the current official, does not care about anything and listens to others in everything. If Queen Yang hadn’t had the ability to grasp the imperial power and military power, she would have been undermined by Cui Miyuan.
So after suffering enough honest people, Empress Yang chose "Chai Ziyun" to become the prince and was named "Duke Chengguo". She began to participate in government affairs in the big and small areas of the court, and allowed him to open a government office, recruit his own staff, and establish his own team.
Unfortunately, it is not clearly stated as the "Crown Prince".
However, anyone with discerning eyes can see that the government and Empress Yang are cultivating Chai Ziyun as the "Crown Prince". If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely inherit the throne in the future, so a group of "Crown Princesses" will soon form around them.
There are too many smart people, and everyone wants to be the best of the dragon. They are regarded as the prince’s secret residence and will be very prosperous in the future.
Following the right boss is very important, you must invest in advance.
Another adopted son, Chai Zijin, was not very popular at this time. Although he was also named "Duke of Yi County", he was given a large mansion, and he was also arranged for people from the palace to serve.
However, he was not allowed to participate in the government affairs, but was just preparing to ensure his wealth and prosperity throughout his life. He did not interfere with what he did in daily life, and he was just pretending that he would die for himself.
For an important celebration like today's Wanbao Festival, the "Yi County Duke" did not come to celebrate his birthday, which made the ministers in Zichen Hall look down on him even more.
Spare tires are not as good as those.
Only Cui Miyuan and a few core officials knew that the reason why the Duke of Yi County did not appear in Zichen Hall was his "good brother", Chai Ziyun, Duke of Cheng Guo, was obstructing it.
After all, he is the "adopted son" of both the official family, and Chai Zijin always has a slight "threat".
In order to successfully ascend the throne in the future, Chai Ziyun must eliminate all possibilities and eliminate all threats, even if there is only a slight possibility, it is not allowed to happen.
At this time, the golden bell in Zichen Hall was ringing.
The eunuch shouted loudly, "The official's house is here, the empress is here~~~~"
When the officials in Zichen Palace heard this, they knelt down one after another, "I wish you good luck and I wish you good luck."
Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty, Chai Honghua and Empress Yang Guizhi, were wearing the most solemn court robes at this time, and with the support of many eunuchs, slowly walked onto the imperial throne.
Emperor Jing of Yuan was very thin and had no smile on his face as usual. If he hadn't been wearing this imperial uniform and sitting high above, if he had met him on the street, he would have been considered just an ordinary old man.
On the contrary, although Queen Yang is fifty years old, the years have left no trace on her face. She looks elegant and elegant, sitting on the imperial throne, her eyes are often watched at the ministers below.
No wonder, Queen Yang was originally a literary worker, or just a female star. She must be beautiful, has a good temperament, and can dress up.
The two sat together, and they felt like they were like a father taking his daughter to court, and the old and young were matched.
But everyone can only complain about this kind of thing in their hearts.
These two are the masters of the empire, the emperor and queen who holds the power of life and death for all people. If anyone is disrespectful, the mad dogs from the Censorate will teach you how to be a human being in minutes.
A very disrespectful crime came down and the whole family went to Caishikou to get a boxed lunch.
Emperor Jing of Yuan made a false support action and was too lazy to speak.
When the eunuch Li Hu, the eunuch next to him, he quickly shouted at the top of his voice: "Flat~~~~~~"
Then we started a programmatic set. First, Cui Miyuan congratulated the officials on behalf of all the officials. This was written in official texts, and the content was nothing more than flattery. Anyway, ordinary people couldn't understand it.
Prime Minister Cui's voice echoed in Zichen Hall for a long time, and it ended for more than half an hour when everyone stood numb.
Then the part where the ministers offered their birthday gifts. Chai Ziyun was the first to stand out, raised his head high above his head and said loudly:
"The birth of the official family is the blessing of hundreds of millions of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. My son specially presented this map of blessings and longevity on behalf of the people. On it are the words of blessings written by tens of thousands of people in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I wish the official family a long life and a great fortune."
The eunuchs slowly opened the map of longevity in front of Emperor Jing of Yuan. The official just nodded slightly and did not speak, which was like "close-mouthedness".
Queen Yang looked at it and smiled and nodded: "My son is intent."
Others will definitely smile when they see the queen's reward, but Chai Ziyun just stepped aside in a programmatic manner and didn't even polite flattery.
