Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1040

[Chapter 1040]

“Hahaha, that’s great. Since this is the case, I will now draw up the edict of the Zen position and tell all the officials.” Zhao Heng suddenly stood up with a smile on his face. .

In fact, as Empress Mi said, he now wholeheartedly wants to abdicate.

After all, Da Song’s current authority is in Zhao Xu’s hands, he is an emperor with a reputation, and there is no difference between being right and wrong.

Furthermore, there is another very important reason.

Although Zhao Xu was not in a hurry to become emperor, the generals and officials under his command gradually lost patience.

Due to the relationship between father and son, Zhao Xu can still be friendly with him on the surface.

But these officials and generals were less polite to him in private.

According to some veteran officials from Jinling, many Yanzhou officials proposed to persuade King Yan to force the palace.

And as Beidi was defeated in Yongzhou, the great troubles in the north were cut off, and the country of Dasong was peaceful and prosperous, these officials became more and more willing.

During Zhao Xu’s trip to the south, some officials even stopped being taboo and even talked about it openly.

Although he considers himself to be incompetent, he has also tried his hand at power for a long time, knowing that this was done deliberately by the generals and officials under King Yan, just to give him a reminder.

Now, he is in his own Zen position, and he can still live with his face.

But if he still sticks to the throne, I’m afraid that the people under King Yan’s command will really try to persuade the palace.

“Thank you, father, Huanglong.” Zhao Xu didn’t push back any more at this time, this thank you agreed.

In fact, he also knew the reason why Zhao Heng was busy with the Zen seat, it was just a tacit understanding between the two parties.

He is very clear about Da Song’s court, what people like Liu Fu and Chang Wei are doing, Tsui Hark has told him everything.

The gang under him didn’t like Zhao Heng at all.

You can still call Zhao Heng the emperor, he is the reason why he pressed his head.

Zhao Heng used to be mean to Yanzhou, but they remembered it clearly.

Since they didn’t want to put up with Zhao Heng anymore, and he felt that the time had come, he just took over the throne.

As for Zhao Heng, even if he abdicates, he can still spend his twilight years in Yancheng, which is the utmost kindness to him.

After talking with the two of them again, Zhao Xu returned to the palace.

As if it was Zhao Heng’s instruction, the news of the Zen position spread like wildfire from the palace, like a strong wind, and immediately swept the entire Yancheng.

“His Royal Highness agrees?” In the

outer city of the Promise Palace, in the capital hall where the prime minister works.

Because Liu Fu was excited, the pencil in his hand was too hard, and the tip of the pen broke.

But he didn’t care about these, but grabbed the young eunuch’s collar tightly.

“It’s absolutely true, this is what Mr. Liang said personally.” The little eunuch laughed.

When Liang Cheng released the news, the palace first exploded.

Once the old emperor abdicates and the new emperor ascends the throne, the Wuji Palace will change hands.

Zhao Heng and Empress Mi are going to move out, so it is natural for King Yan and Princess Wang to move in.

At that time, eunuchs and maids like them will have changed their masters.

Some shrewd ones, such as him, couldn’t help but ran out ahead of time to reveal the news, hoping to get a good start after the new emperor ascended the throne.

“His Royal Highness finally agreed, hahaha, that’s great, it should have been like this a long time ago, all the people in the world are waiting for this day, and their eyes are staring straight.” Liu Fu laughed.

Then, he put away his smile and left the capital hall like the wind, heading towards the palace.

At this time, the little eunuch said: “My lord, my name is Xiao Guizi, don’t forget to say something nice for me in front of His Highness.”

Liu Fu nodded and walked out.

As soon as he left the capital hall, he saw Chang Wei, Yang Feng, Yang He and other ministers.

They were all beaming, one by one rushed 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 be the first and then squeezed into the palace, and they almost didn’t make a move.

At this time, Zhao Xu was already waiting in the meeting hall.

He knew very well that between now and the end of the Zen ceremony, he would not want to be idle.

“Congratulations, Your Highness. Your Highness is expected to inherit the great power, and only when His Highness is in charge of the country can the people’s hearts be stabilized.” Chang Wei had the best physical strength and was the first to enter the meeting hall.

Seeing Zhao Xu, he hurriedly congratulated loudly.

Liu Fu came in the second time. Although he was a civil servant and his physical strength was not as good as Chang Wei, he was young and strong and could still keep up.

After taking a few deep breaths, he bowed and said, “Congratulations to Your Highness, vegetation blooms in spring, fish and shrimp live in water, animals thrive in forests, and your Highness’s ascension to the throne is like the arrival of spring. It will be prosperous…”

At the end of the speech, Liu Fu shouted loudly.

“Okay, okay, talk less.” Zhao Xu got goosebumps from being praised by Liu Fu.

Seeing that Liu Fu was still going to continue, he hurriedly stopped.

This Chang Wei is a rough man with no literary talents, and his words of congratulations are simple and plain.

He couldn’t bear Liu Fu’s sour words.

After his words fell, Yang Feng, Dong An, Yang He, Zou Rong and other ministers came one after another.

For a while, congratulations continued in the meeting hall.

Zhao Xu never refused anyone who came, and took them one by one.

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to hide.

When all the important ministers arrived, Zhao Xu said, “The Zen ceremony should not be extravagant and wasteful. Keep everything simple. This matter will be handled by the Ministry of Rites.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhu Tuo replied yes.

He is currently the Minister of Rites.

As the first sheriff of Yan County, after the unification of Da Song, he will naturally rise to the top.

Zhao Xu looked at Zou Rong again, “Your Ministry of Industry is in charge of renovating the palace. From now on, this will be the residence of the empress dowager and the emperor.”

After ascending the throne, according to the etiquette, he can no longer live in the palace.

Zhao Heng and Empress Mi also had to move out.

In Yancheng, apart from the Promise Palace, his palace is the most luxurious, just replace each other, no need for construction.

This is also what Empress Mi and Zhao Heng meant.

“The last is the auspicious day of the zodiac. You can choose it. The king can only wait for you to make preparations, and then invite the emperor to walk for the ceremony.” Zhao Xu finally said.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Everyone bowed and saluted together.

He raised his head, all of them beamed with joy.

King Yan said so, then the abdication ceremony is tantamount to finalizing.

What they had been looking forward to for many years finally came true.

After discussing for a while, it was decided to make Yang Susu the Queen, Luan’er the Concubine Shu, Feng’er the Concubine De and the Dragon Robe, etc. Zhao Xu, who was fussed by the ministers, drove everyone away.

As the ministers came out of the palace, the news that Zhao Xu was about to enthroned immediately spread to the people.

That night, every household in Yancheng talked excitedly after dinner.

Jinlin hotpot restaurant on the west bank of Jinlin Lake.

The four workers who just got off work from the iron and steel workshop sat down to order food at the hot pot restaurant, and couldn’t help gossiping.

One person said, “If you want me to say, the emperor should have given the

throne to King Yan long ago, and our King Yan represents the hearts of the people.” The days will definitely get more and more prosperous.” Another person said.

“It goes without saying that we couldn’t even afford to wear pants in the past, so it’s not like we can come here to eat hot pot every now and then.” The man opposite the two said.

Immediately, the four of them laughed together, feeling sad and more satisfied with their current life.
