boss take me to death

They ate without being served.

I don't care about the rules of not talking when eating or sleeping.

Talking while eating, when Zhong Ming brought him food, he stopped and ate the food first.

The two of them just sandwiched each other's dishes, talking about things intermittently.

But it's still clear.

It's not that easy to hide someone in the palace.

Also be on guard against Chen Rujin, not daring to mobilize too many people to guard.

They also want to hide it from Qi Yanling, and don't want him to know their real identity.

The emperor was even more worried about letting him live outside the palace.

He only cared about defending others, not Qi Yanling.

Qi Yanling sneaked out of the courtyard every now and then, but no one noticed.

At first he just wanted to get out of the palace and go to Zhong Ming.

But it was easy for him to run out of his small courtyard, but not so easy to get out of the palace gate.

So I can only stay and plan slowly.

He was clever since he was a child, and even got a set of small eunuch uniforms, and often wandered between the palaces.

The palace is so big, it is impossible for everyone to know each other.If you meet some gossips, even if you don't know him, you can still chat.

Slowly, he also found out the situation of the palace, heard some related news, and pieced together the truth.

It is impossible for the emperor to let him stay for no reason, and he just heard from some old people in the palace that the prince's son was lost a few years ago.

Match yourself.

Although he was not sure, he also had a guess in his heart.

But at this time, he didn't want to go out so much.

"Maybe I can find my brother when I go out, but what can I do? Maybe I will be sent back again."

"I don't have any skills, so I can only listen to other people's decisions. I don't want to do this."

"The crown prince was framed, and only the second prince was left as the heir. The emperor found me and hid me secretly. The meaning of it is self-evident."

"The thing you want is the safest if you grasp it yourself. I want to have my own power. When I become strong, see you again, brother. He can no longer throw me away."

Zhong Ming felt very uncomfortable hearing him say such words, he never knew that Qi Yanling thought this way.

He quickly explained, "No, I never thought about..."

"I know, I know, the moment I see my brother again, I will understand."

Qi Yanling also quickly said, "I misunderstood my brother before."

But I still want power.

He thought so, but didn't say it.

The two had a good dinner, and Qi Yanling went back to his temporary bedroom to rest.

Counting it, since Zhong Ming went to provide disaster relief, the two of them hadn't eaten together for several months.

It will be fine in a while, Zhong Ming thought.

As soon as Zhong Ming came back, the muddy water in the court was stirred up again.

Although the emperor was no longer there, Zhong Ming informed him that he would go to court early the next day, and no one dared not come.

Those who knew Qi Yanling probably knew what was going to happen, so naturally they wouldn't say much.

People who don't know what's inside talk about it, and it's all kinds of things.

"The prime minister called everyone this time to talk about the succession of the second prince?"

"It doesn't look like it to me. Usually, when the prince succeeds to the throne, he doesn't call all the courtiers. It's all the elders of the clan to be witnesses. Everything is arranged, and it's fine to announce it to the world."

"I think, this time, the prime minister is afraid to..."

"That's right. In the past few months, there have been rumors that the prime minister intends to sit on the throne himself."

"Hey, it was rumored at that time that it was going to attack the second prince. I didn't expect that the second prince was fine, and the Chen family was completely ruined."

"Don't talk nonsense, maybe it's just because the second prince wasn't there when the emperor left, and now..."

Before he finished speaking, he quickly fell silent.

Just because the bell is ringing.

Usually in the early court, although Zhong Ming was also sitting on the emperor's high platform, he probably moved the dragon chair away to avoid suspicion.

But today, he ordered someone to bring the dragon chair up.

Another person followed.

It's not the second prince, it's someone I don't know.

The clothes you wear are regulated by the prince.

The sudden appearance made the courtiers even more puzzled.

Zhong Ming didn't talk nonsense, he just said: "A country can't live without a king. Today, I invite all my colleagues for this important event in the world."

"Before the late emperor passed away, no crown prince was established, but he left a will."

"The one in front of you is the son of the deposed prince and heir to the throne."

Before some of the veterans expressed their doubts, several elders stood up and blocked their mouths: "When the late emperor was dying, he had foreseen today, and specially summoned the ministers and others."

These few usually do not speak in the court, and they are mostly hard-headed. They usually rely on their old age and have few years to live.Those who rely on the old and sell the old often reprimand Zhong Ming.

It is credible to stand up and speak now.

"There is indeed a will!"

Regardless of whether the courtiers intended to agree, inquire, or refute, before they had time to speak, the clan nobles whom Zhong Ming ordered to invite also arrived.

In a few words, it showed that Qi Yanling had verified his integrity, and he was undoubtedly the grandson of the emperor who was kidnapped many years ago.

At this point, things are actually settled.

Especially now that the Chen family has collapsed.

"For the sake of safety, I also ask the prime minister to produce the imperial edict." No one expected that it was the second prince who spoke.

You know, before, he never spoke about things that had nothing to do with him.

related to him?

He let a group of members of the Chen family quarrel for him, without opening his mouth.

When he spoke now, everyone was quite surprised.

"In the past, someone spoke for him, so naturally there was no need to speak, but now he is the only one left, and he can only rely on himself."

"That's the throne! If you run away from the throne at hand, you still have to fight for it."

"It's already this time, what's the use..."

People think a lot, but at this time, no one will say it.

No matter what other people think, the second prince has been standing out in front with firm eyes.

In fact, he was still very scared. It was the first time he stood out in front of so many people, and even questioned Zhong Ming.

But this is the last chance, there are some things he must know.

Zhong Ming was also very calm, the edict was originally true.

He took it out, showed it to Qi Dongyun, and circulated it to the officials.

Qi Yanling didn't say anything, Qi Dongyun's sudden appearance was beyond his expectation, and he curled his lips, but he wasn't very unhappy.

He wanted Qi Yanling to sit in this position upright and innocent.

The edict was passed to Qi Dongyun first, and he was still in a stable mood, so he didn't do such a thing as angrily tearing up the edict on the spot.

It looks a little old, slightly yellowed, and the seals on it are a little faded, as if they were written many years ago.

Somewhat lost.

When I found out that I still had a nephew, I guessed.

From the very beginning, the father didn't think about establishing himself, so it didn't exist. It must be that he let the father and queen down.

In this case……

"Chen, see the emperor."

Qi Yanling was a little disappointed to see him make a fool of himself, but he didn't expect him to bow his head and bow down suddenly.

Those who thought that the second prince would fight for the throne did not expect that he would be the first to recognize the new emperor.

With one person taking the lead, the rest falls into place.

Row after row of people knelt down one by one.

The mountain called "long live".

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

Although it reverberated in the main hall, it passed through the beams, rushed out of the roof, and reached the sky.

Surrounded by such voices, the Panlong and Golden Pillars in the main hall seemed more vivid.

Layer upon layer of voices sounded like hitting Qi Yanling's heart.

I can't say what it feels like, but I am very satisfied, which is what he has always wanted.

Zhong Ming was the last one to kneel down. His student, his younger brother, is now the supreme emperor in the world.

Because he was the emperor, even the dragon chair, which was an eyesore, became pleasing to the eye.

Seeing him kneeling down, Qi Yanling stretched out his hand to support him.

"Master is my teacher, the teacher is as kind as a father, and the kindness is as heavy as a mountain. Don't kneel to me."

Zhong Ming himself doesn't value these principles of monarchs and ministers, nor does he have the habit of kneeling down casually, so he naturally agrees.

"May Master and I lead the world together and enjoy the world together."

After finishing speaking, he whispered again.

"I hope my brother likes it."

Zhong Ming doesn't like the world, but he likes the people who manage it now.

The days of idle clouds and wild cranes are not as beautiful as his.

All these years have passed.

It doesn't matter if you are in charge of the government for two or three years.

"Okay." So Zhong Ming replied.

"Stay flat." After Qi Yanling finished speaking, she took advantage of the opportunity and sat down on the dragon chair.

He stroked the dragon chair lightly, the patterns on the armrests were exquisitely carved, as if he had really caught a few dragons and sealed them on the dragon chair.

Dragon chairs are naturally exquisite.

This delicacy makes the person on the dragon chair extraordinarily high.

Well, that's what he wanted too.

He looked at Zhong Ming who was standing beside him again.

This is what he wants more.

There was pride and joy in Zhong Ming's eyes.

Although he often wears a gentle smile, there is usually a hint of sarcasm in his smile; he also often smiles in front of Qi Yanling, but it is usually a kind of elder's care for the younger generation.

The look in his eyes is a little different now, it's a kind of appreciation, an acknowledgment of Qi Yanling's growth.

Qi Yanling liked it very much.

His eyes darkened, but it was still not enough, it could be seen in Zhong Ming's eyes that he still felt that he hadn't grown up.

I am already big.

Once the throne is established, people's hearts will be at ease.

This world is like this, everyone needs a person, a person who is high above, a person who is like a god, as a leader, to lead them forward.

"Ministry of Rites." It was no longer Zhong Ming who spoke this time.

Never again.

"The minister is here!" The Minister of Rites came out.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day. Immediately pray to the world, and preparations for the succession ceremony should also begin."

"The minister obeys the order."

"House Department."

"The minister is here."

"For matters related to the Enthronement Hall, the Ministry of Accounts will cooperate with the Ministry of Etiquette." Although he stood in this hall for the first time, he handled things in an orderly manner.

"I obey the order, dare to ask the emperor, after the new emperors ascend the throne, they will first check the state of the treasury for the past ten years, do you want to check it?"

Qi Yanling was already prepared for this, and said: "No need, the prime minister will handle the matter, I don't worry."

Qi Yanling quickly arranged the relevant matters and announced his withdrawal from the court.

The amount of information the courtiers received this day was a bit too much.

Overall, I feel like I'm being played around.

They walked out of the hall in twos and threes, and went home to slowly digest what they learned today.

It won't be long before the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor.
