Chapter 164 Acting Emperor
Prince Anping was old after all, so he cried for a while, then took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears.
"Shan'an, your dragon body is not well now, but the Great Jing Dynasty cannot be uneasy!"
"I am loyal to my country and you. I hope you know that as long as I am here, this Dajing Dynasty will never be overthrown!"
"I am your grandfather. I have watched you grow up. I know what you want."
"I have already drafted a secret decree for you and will summon all the ministers to announce it shortly!"
As Prince Anping spoke, he took out two secret decrees with trembling hands.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Father-in-Law, the Grand Tutor, the Prince of Jingnan, Secretary Song, and General Yang, all of you listen together!"
"Yes!"
Among the few people, except Liu Zhao, Song Xian and Liu Jun, the others knew the content of the imperial edict.
Prince Anping's hands and lips trembled as he slowly read the two edicts together.
Song Xian didn't expect that he would be the regent, but he was still a little touched.
The happiest person was Liu Jun.
It is said that Prince Anping hates evil and hates enemies, but it seems that he is still nice to me!
Not only did he make himself the Minister of Rites, but he also changed his title from Marquis of Linjing to Duke of Linjing! He also added the title of Grand Tutor!
This reward is unprecedented and will never be repeated!
It seems that they still recognize their abilities!
"Your Majesty, this old minister is thinking wholeheartedly of Da Jing. At this special moment, I will make the decision on your behalf!"
Of course Liu Yan didn't react, but he felt very comforted.
At the critical moment, King Anping still has to take action!
"Prince, come here and kneel down!"
Prince Anping continued.
"Yes!"
Liu Zhao immediately went over and knelt down in front of Liu Yan's bed.
"Did you hear clearly the imperial edict I just read?"
"clear!"
"Do you have any objections?"
"No?"
"Very good. From now on, until His Majesty recovers, you will temporarily assume the duties of the Emperor!"
"Yes!"
Liu Zhao felt a little happy, but also a little uneasy and nervous.
Although he actually succeeded to the throne, Liu Yan would definitely not recover in this condition!
But the affairs of the court don’t seem so easy to deal with!
Ok!
The first thing to do in governing a country is to govern its people!
When you manage your own company, you are also managing people, it’s basically the same!
Besides, I am not fighting alone!
What's there to be afraid of?
"Father, I will temporarily assume the Emperor's duties. Once you recover, I will immediately return to the Eastern Palace!"
Liu Zhao turned to Liu Yan's bed and kowtowed three times respectfully.
I feel a little pain in my forehead.
"very good!"
Liu Fu nodded.
"Zhang Hong!"
"Your Highness!" Zhang Hong held a golden plate with a jade seal covered with yellow cloth inside.
"Hand over the Imperial Seal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Your Highness!"
Zhang Hong knelt down and raised the plate above his head with both hands.
Liu Zhao held the jade seal in both hands.
"Your Highness, please affix your imperial seal to this decree!"
Prince Anping handed the imperial edict to Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan immediately spread out the imperial edict on the table.
Of course Liu Zhao knew the seal.
Then he stamped the jade seal on the place where "This is ordered by the emperor, on May 22, the third year of Xianning".
"Very good! Then let's leave and head to Mingguang Palace!"
It was already the Si hour, and officials of the third rank and above were already waiting in the Minguang Hall.
"Your Highness, this is an imperial decree executed on behalf of the Emperor!"
He Zhi handed Liu Zhao another edict he had prepared.
Liu Zhao took a look at it. It was concise and to the point, with only some general outlines.
It’s about how to govern the country, how to make society stable, etc.!
It's all just general information, without any detailed content.
Although it is traditional Chinese, I can still read it.
But there were no punctuation marks, so Liu Zhao had to read it several times.
Make sure there are no problems with punctuation.
It seems that this punctuation mark comes in handy!
Perhaps He Zhi was worried that Liu Zhao would not be able to read it completely in a short time, so he used more popular words and sentences.
This is also consistent with Liu Zhao's situation.
Finally, he gave a general explanation of the process, which required the royal titles of the King of Hejian and six other kings to be quickly revoked and their fiefs to be taken back.
At the same time, officials such as Xu Zhi and Jia Zhong who participated in the rebellion were dismissed from their posts.
He Zhi also needs to read the anti-rebel manifesto in the court.
Liu Zhao was about to go out when he turned around and glanced at Liu Zhi.
Liu Zhi's face was almost ashen.
"Ancestor, you go first, I want to say a few words!"
Liu Zhao said to King Anping.
"it is good!"
Prince Anping nodded.
He was well aware of this relationship.
"Auntie!"
Liu Zhao went back and knelt down to Liu Zhi.
"Zhao'er, get up quickly!"
Liu Zhi was a little confused when she saw Liu Zhao kneeling down!
"Auntie, listen to me!"
Liu Zhao looked at Liu Zhi and said.
Liu Zhi nodded.
"Please take good care of my father's current condition, Auntie. Zhao'er will be grateful!"
"You don't have to tell me that. Of course I will take good care of it!"
Liu Zhi looked at Liu Yan's expression, felt sad, and started to cry again.
"Father, I'm gone now. Remember to take your medicine. You'll recover soon!"
Liu Zhao looked at Liu Yan who was motionless and said.
At this time, Liu Zhao really hoped that Liu Yan would return to normal so that he could go out to find Deng Yi!
"Your Highness, I come to visit you again after the court session!"
Liu Zhao kowtowed three more times, stood up, and walked towards the Minguang Hall.
Of course, Zhang Hong followed behind a step slower.
After a while, they caught up with Prince Anping and others.
Seeing Liu Zhao and his entourage arrive, and Prince Anping also following, many ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
Many people are still worried about the instability of the political situation.
The prince was already normal, and with Prince Anping around, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
"Ministers, listen to my orders!"
Prince Anping sat down in his seat, his voice was not loud but powerful.
The hall was so quiet that even the sound of a fly flying by could be heard clearly.
"Your Highness, please accept my order!"
Prince Anping sat down to announce the decree.
Liu Zhao immediately knelt down and said, "Your son accepts my order!"
This decree was written in the name of Liu Yan.
Prince Anping slowly read the secret decree.
"Your son will obey your order. Long live your father!"
Liu Zhao took the imperial edict.
Liu Fu took out another imperial edict and read it to the regent minister.
Of course, Shan Tao did a good job in his position as the Minister of Rites. Although he was dismissed from his post at this time, he could still receive a salary from the court.
Shan Tao was naturally very happy. After all, even if he lived in seclusion in the mountains, he still had to eat and live!
He came out immediately to express his gratitude.
Everyone kept their original positions and everyone was very happy.
"Your Highness, please ascend the throne!"
As Liu Fu was speaking, Zhang Hong had already helped Liu Zhao up the stairs.
A smaller seat had already been placed next to the emperor's seat, and Liu Zhao was helped to sit down.
"Long live the prince!"
All the ministers immediately knelt down in unison and saluted.
Of course, these etiquettes have been trained countless times, so there is no need to teach them, and everyone is very proficient in them.
Liu Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, I am really worried that someone will jump out and cause some problems!
Although a third-rank official holds a high position, some of his brains may not be very useful!
It may not be enough!
Fortunately, there are none!
Sima Bei didn't come, and Liu Fu knew that this guy was definitely going to cause trouble!
"My dear pillars of the imperial court, my father is not well, so I, the Crown Prince, will temporarily assume the power of the Grand Emperor of Jing Dynasty!"
Balabala read He Zhi's manuscript to the end.
This is not the time to act freely.
The last few sentences: It is thanks to my clansmen, both near and far, and all the civil and military officials in the court, who work together, that we can surely put down the chaos, have officials and the people care for each other, and have peace and prosperity for the country!
As soon as the recitation was finished, all the ministers knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".
