Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 114

Han Qiuyi still didn't take Zhao Qichen away, but advised Zhao Xiyan and Qiu Ruyu to keep this secret forever.Originally, Han Qiuyi also wanted to take Zhao Qichen back to Qiushui Villa, and she raised him herself.But she saw Qiu Ruyu's affection for Zhao Xiyan and Zhao Qichen's dependence on Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Qichen always thought that Zhao Xiyan was his father, why not keep this secret forever.Losing Zhao Xiyan, their mother and son is already pitiful enough, why should the children bear such pain, it is better to keep this secret forever.Zhao Qichen will never know that his biological father is Zhao Xiyan in his whole life, so as a carefree child, he enjoys the care and love Zhao Xiyan gives him.What's more, Zhao Xiyan has been dead for so many years, Qiu Ruyu and Zhao Qichen are both taken care of by Zhao Xiyan.Han Qiuyi didn't want Qiu Ruyu to be a widow for Zhao Xiyan at a young age. She had been a widow for so many years, and it was enough.Han Qiuyi decided to stay with his grandson for a while, and return to Qiushui Villa after Zhao Xiyan ascended the throne. If he missed Zhao Qichen in the future, he would go back to the palace to see him.Zhao Xiyan also agreed. Zhao Xiyan didn't want Han Qiuyi to take Zhao Qichen away. It's the best arrangement for him to be under his knee now.Zhao Xiyan had an idea long ago, to ask Zhao Qichen to become Zhao Xiyan's heir when he grew up, to renovate Zhao Xiyan's old residence and give him Zhao Xiyan's status as a virtuous prince.In this way, Zhao Qichen has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and they are still father and son after going around.

What they didn't know was that the news that Zhao Qichen was not Zhao Xiyan's biological son was accidentally heard by Su Qingshu.When Qiu Ruyu and Han Qiushui were having a secret conversation in the room, Su Qingshu was attracted by the sound of crying and crying. He originally wanted to see what happened, but unexpectedly he heard this big secret.Su Qingshu was very shocked, never thought that Qiu Ruyu, whom Zhao Xiyan fell in love with at first sight, was rumored to be the former lover of King Xianjun, and the child was also Prince Xianjun's.Su Qingshu didn't know whether to be happy or sad, Qichen was not his own, and he went so far in order to fulfill the deep brotherhood.Su Qingshu thought of Zhao Qichen's face, which was somewhat similar to that of Zhao Xichang, and that Qiu Ruyu was born in the palace, so it could be said that she kept everything secret.Su Qingshu then thought about Qi Rui's face, it looked exactly like Ulanya, but it didn't look like Zhao Xiyan at all. Could it be that Qi Rui wasn't even his own?Su Qingshu hurriedly went to see Qi Rui who was still playing in the front hall of Xianfu Palace, that face really didn't look like Zhao Xiyan at all.Su Qingshu was suddenly a little excited, the two boys were not born to Zhao Xiyan, if he gave birth to an heir for Zhao Xiyan first, would Zhao Xiyan change his mind.After thinking about it, Zhao Xiyan didn't want to set foot in his room at all, and his eyes darkened.Then he glanced at Zhao Muning who was in the arms of Concubine Xia, this was his only child.For some reason, Su Qingshu was heartbroken but suddenly hopeful.

Zhao Xiyan didn't have so much thought about the backyard. The ministers below came to play non-stop every day, and he didn't have time to get back to Xianfu Palace.Zhao Xiyan didn't complain about these ministers either. After all, the late emperor was about to go to the funeral and the new emperor was about to ascend the throne. There were indeed many things to do.Before the late emperor's funeral, Zhao Xiyan summoned the only three remaining brothers.The three were sincerely convinced and respected Zhao Xiyan as the emperor.Zhao Xiyan was indeed the best among the late emperor's sons, and he was also the best in terms of offspring.There are only a few daughters in the backyard of Prince Yu and Prince Yi. Fourteen has not yet turned fifteen, and they are not married.Zhao Xiyan has two sons in the backyard, which is indeed the most suitable for the royal family to spread their branches and leaves.Over the years because of competition for reserves, even if they withdrew, the abolished prince would not let them go.Fortunately, it was the benevolent Eleven who won the world, or else he would have gone to the funeral with the late emperor.Zhao Xiyan appeased them, allowing them to participate in politics in the future, and gave their eldest daughter the title of princess.The three kings are very grateful, and they feel that the days of stability are coming, and they finally survived until today.

Emperor Zhang finally went to the funeral, and the funeral bell kept ringing, making everyone sad.Zhao Xiyan was dressed in mourning clothes, and took the only three remaining brothers to carry the coffin for the funeral in person until Tailing was sealed off.Zhao Xiyan watched the underground palace of the Tailing Mausoleum being sealed little by little, feeling extremely desolate in his heart.The last time I came to the imperial mausoleum, I followed my father to worship the ancestors. My writing brush broke, and it was the noble father-in-law who secretly changed it for me.Zhao Xiyan always thought of when he was a child, when he nestled in his father's arms and pulled his beard, he just smiled and teased himself, not angry.The underground palace of the Tailing Mausoleum was sealed, and Zhao Xiyan led his brothers and ministers to offer the tablet of Emperor Shaoyuan to the ancestral hall, worshiped deeply three times, and burnt incense.Zhao Xiyan's face was ugly, and the ministers dared not not to be sad, for fear of offending the iron-blooded new king.There are even more flatterers who cry bitterly in person, muttering that they want to follow the late emperor.Zhao Xiyan was very annoyed, so he said to his face that if he was so reluctant to let go of the late emperor, Ai Qing would come to guard the tomb for the late emperor.As soon as these words came out, these flatterers quickly stopped their tears and did not dare to speak nonsense.It seems that Xinjun is not easy to be fooled at all. Although he is of the blood of the former emperor, his temperament is quite different.

Finally, when the day of enthronement came, the Empress Dowager came early in the morning to urge Zhao Xiyan to get up, and brought many court ladies to dress him in the dragon robe used for the enthronement ceremony.Zhao Xiyan hated such grand clothes and felt uncomfortable in them.But this is the ancestral system, and there is nothing you can do about it.Zhao Xiyan allowed the maid to change himself into a black gold dragon robe and put on the emperor's crown.Zhao Xiyan was originally a daughter, and she looked better and fairer than a man, but she was beaten up by the Queen Mother and raised as a man, so she had sharp edges and corners.Dressed in a solemn dragon robe, he looked even more mighty and domineering.The little maid who dressed him all blushed.Because of Zhao Xiyan's ascension to the throne, Imperial Concubine Xia became the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, and today she is also dressed in a grand phoenix robe, looking graceful and luxurious.Zhao Xiyan followed the ceremonial officer all the way in from the Vermilion Bird Gate, all the way the emperor was relying on him, whistling and beating.Step by step, Zhao Xiyan stepped onto the dragon chair that his father loved so much. All civil and military officials paid homage, shouting long live.Looking at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground, Zhao Xiyan felt a kind of pride in his heart when he heard the shout of long live. He suddenly understood why the world was fighting for the throne.This kind of feeling that I am the supreme and the world is all ministers is really fascinating.The ceremony officials were still singing etiquette, and all civil and military officials knelt and knelt.Eunuch Degui followed the first emperor for many years, and Zhao Xiyan still asked him to read the imperial decree at the enthronement ceremony.

The first imperial decree was to confer the title of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian

The second imperial decree was to confer the title of Crown Princess Su as Queen of the Palace

The third imperial decree is to confer the crown prince's side concubine Xia as the imperial concubine

The fourth imperial decree is to confer the crown prince's concubine Qiu as a virtuous concubine

The fifth imperial decree is to posthumously designate the late Princess Duanhe (the sixth princess of Mobei) as the Royal Concubine Duanhe

The sixth imperial decree is to confer on Prime Minister Su as a loyal and brave uncle

The seventh imperial decree is to confer the title of Marquis of Zhenbei as King of Zhenbei

……

The canonized edicts followed one after another, and the courtiers who supported Zhao Xiyan were rewarded accordingly.Even Qin Huai'an got the position of deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This deputy from the second rank is extremely leisurely, but it's a fat job.Many people were jealous. Shen Jiyue, on behalf of the Shen family, has grown from a humble family in Suzhou to a generational imperial merchant of Daqi, supplying silk and satin to the royal family of Daqi.Shi Jiang became the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion from a grassroots man, and together with the Imperial Forest Army, he guarded the imperial city comprehensively.Sun Hongzhi was promoted to become the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, leading the Imperial Forest Army.Because of Zhao Xiyan's mother's Xiahou Mansion, this time the eldest son was sent to lead the army to help the deposed prince suppress Zhao Xiyan.Zhao Xiyan is false if he is not angry. He promoted Xia Changsong who helped him to inherit the title of Xiahou, and bestowed the death of Mrs. Xiahou's wife and eldest son.Zhao Xiyan proclaimed his uncle Xia Changqing and Su Xiang as the head of the country, also known as Xia Guozhang.Those grasshoppers didn't get anything, and they didn't dare to say anything.Zhao Xiyan was very satisfied. He rewarded those who helped him.

There was blowing and blowing outside, how could Yan Fengjun, who was under house arrest in the palace recuperating, not hear such a loud commotion.Yan Fengjun leaned on the bed and listened to the solemn ceremony and music, thinking that the man must look good in the dragon robe.It's a pity that she couldn't even get out of this door, so she couldn't congratulate him on his enthronement.Yan Fengjun smiled bitterly. He killed all of her troops, yet she still wanted to congratulate him on his ascension to the throne.Yan Fengjun touched the piece of jade, and the blood was gone.The white clothes he was wearing now really looked good, he didn't lie to himself.

Zhao Xiyan doesn't like extravagance and waste, so the enthronement ceremony also moved the canonization ceremony of the harem to the Taiji Hall, and it was done on the same day.I saw two more phoenix chairs on one side of the dragon chair in Taiji Hall, and the queen mother's throne on the left.On the right is the queen's throne.Zhao Xiyan knelt and sent the empress dowager's golden book and treasure seal to the empress dowager Xia, and the emperor took the lead in paying homage to the empress dowager.Immediately after was the canonization ceremony of the Empress, Zhao Xiyan looked at Su Qingshu who was kneeling under His Highness, dressed in a grand phoenix robe, very dignified.Zhao Xiyan walked down the hall slowly, and handed over the queen's golden seal treasure book to Su Qingshu.Su Qingshu raised his head, and the two looked at each other. Su Qingshu seized every opportunity to save Zhao Xiyan and smiled at him.Zhao Xiyan remained calm and listened to Su Qingshu to thank him.Immediately after was the canonization of the imperial concubine, Zhao Xiyan seemed even more happy.All the ministers knew that the emperor preferred his cousin even more, and he kept favoring him all the time when he was in the palace.Xia Shuning slowly walked up to him and knelt down, waiting for the noble father-in-law to finish reading the imperial edict.Zhao Xiyan couldn't wait to walk down quickly, lest Xia Shuning would kneel for a long time.Zhao Xiyan handed over the golden seal of the imperial concubine's treasure book to Xia Shuning, and the two looked at each other with love.When all the ministers saw this scene, the emperor was so happy that his eyes were bent.All the ministers carefully weighed it in their hearts. The imperial concubines of the two dynasties came from the same lineage. They were aunts and nephews. Maybe this imperial concubine Xia would give birth to the next king.All the ministers have made up their minds, and in the future, they want the female family members in their mansion to please this imperial concubine.Zhao Xiyan was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, there were too many canonized people.After a while, it was hard to get to the end of the enthronement ceremony.Zhao Xiyan supported the Empress Dowager on the left and led Empress Su Qingshu to a high place on the right, and was bowed down by the subjects.Zhao Xiyan personally proclaimed the decree from a high place, and the new king ascended the throne to amnesty the world.All the officials knelt down to worship, and the young emperor on the height now rules the world.

Since Zhao Xiyan has ascended the throne, Prince Duan's Mansion has become Qianlong Mansion, and the original things remain unchanged.Zhao Xiyan still likes Xiangyun to be by his side, and also misses Changxia Garden.But now that he is the emperor, it is okay to go back to Prince Duan's mansion once in a while, but if he goes back to live, he is afraid that he will be drowned by the spittle of these speech officials.The Empress Dowager was unwilling to leave the Xianfu Palace where she had lived for half her life, and Zhao Xiyan did not force her mother to move to the former Empress Dowager's residence.Empress Su Qingshu naturally lived in Fengqi Palace, which was the residence of empresses of all dynasties.Zhao Xiyan allocated the palace closest to his bedroom to Xia Shuning, changed the inscription to Weiyang Palace himself, and ordered someone to paint the walls of Weiyang Palace with prickly ash powder.Just as Zhao Xiyan came to the throne, in order to show his love for Xia Shuning, he bestowed the favor on the Jiaofang, which shocked the government and the public.The favor of Jiaofang was not bestowed by the three emperors of Daqi. Zhao Xiyan bestowed the favor of Jiaofang right after he took the throne, making Xia Shuning a role model for women all over the world.

For the children, Zhao Xiyan only canonized Zhao Muning as the eldest princess of Yongning.The two boys were not canonized, but they got a lot of rewards.The ministers all knew the emperor's painstaking efforts, and they were afraid that there would be endless competition for the crown prince and crown prince too early, not to mention that the queen had not yet given birth to a son, and even the most favored imperial concubine had only one princess under her knees.The two boys have reached the age of remembering, and they know that their father has become the emperor. Under Qiu Ruyu's repeated teaching, they changed their address from father to father.The two little princes adapted quickly, they just thought they moved and changed places to live.Except that the palace house is larger and there are more people, the adults in the family are still those adults.Qi Rui didn't ask where his mother was anymore, because he already knew that his mother had passed away.

The most annoying thing about Zhao Xiyan's new king's ascension to the throne is that these ministers don't do business every day, urging themselves to choose a concubine.

The author has something to say:

From then on, Xiao Zhao was urged to marry every day

heartbroken

old woman's woman

Why do you want so many concubines!
