The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 417: Grand Prince Ceremony, Xiangzhou Victory!

Canonize Xiao Rui, the seventh son of the emperor, as the crown prince, and hold a grand ceremony on the sixth day of February to announce it to the world!

This is the most explosive news in the capital city. The Prince Xia who has been waiting for 24 years is finally released! For twenty-four years, the reincarnation of the two zodiac signs, one can imagine how excited the people are!

At the same time, countless postmen came out with the emperor's order, and ran in all directions, spreading the news of the crown prince's canonization throughout the Xia Kingdom with the fastest news!

Hangzhou Jinhua Mansion.

Xiao Yan had just finished sorting out the government affairs in Hangzhou, when he received an official document from Kyoto, and only then did he know that his seventh brother had been canonized as the crown prince?

"Damn! I just left the capital, Seventh brother was canonized as the prince, play me! No, how can I miss such a big event? I want to go back to Beijing, no one can stop me!"

Xiao Yan roared, it is time to prepare the luggage.

At this time, Princess Kong Xun'er came over, touched her slightly swollen belly, and said sadly: "Son, your father doesn't want us anymore, he wants to return to the capital. After he leaves, mother will run away with you."

Xiao Rui's mouth twitched.

Didn't the Kong family say they were from a scholarly family? How did you give birth to a cunning vixen! My own life is tied up.

"Forget it, I won't go back, I won't go back." Xiao Yan said angrily.

Kong Xun'er smiled and said, "My lord, you have just been dispatched as the governor, and you went back to the capital arguing before the bench was warmed up. What do the officials and people in Hangzhou think of you? And there is no emperor's order to call you back. You make your own opinions. How do His Majesty and all civil and military officials think of you?"

Xiao Yan sighed and said with a smile: "Thank you madam for reminding me, I was reckless. Now that I have left the capital, I have to obey the rules."

Kong Xun'er nodded, but in her eyes, she felt that Xiao Yan's smile was slightly lonely, and she was far away from her brothers and parents, and it was only when she came here that she felt uncomfortable.

Why isn't she?

"My lord, I will always be with you." Kong Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan tenderly.

Xiao Yan nodded, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, while he looked at the north, silently congratulating his seventh brother.

Xiao Feng was on his way to Yinzhou, when he heard that His Majesty appointed Xiao Rui as the crown prince, his eyes froze and he stood there blankly.

After a while, his pupils turned red.

The mother and concubine were sent to the cold palace, and the grandfather committed suicide. His father was His Majesty, and he suddenly felt a chilling sadness.

"Xiao Rui, if you don't ascend the throne, I won't accept you!" Xiao Feng regained his confidence and continued to march towards Yinzhou.

...

On the sixth day of February, the ceremony for conferring the crown prince began in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial Palace.

Civil and military officials stood respectfully on both sides, and with Haida Fushan calling, the grand ceremony officially began.

Li Mingchong, chief assistant of the cabinet sent by Emperor Xia, and Lu Yuanzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, were the main envoys, Ye Xiu, the governor of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, and Huo Xingye, Minister of the Ministry of War, were the deputy envoys. Above, Xiao Rui, dressed in the service of the prince, stepped forward and knelt at the table to accept the letter of conferment from the chief envoy and the treasure from the deputy envoy, and thanked His Majesty. The principal and deputy envoys also kowtowed to Xiao Rui.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui followed the servant holding the book and the treasure into the palace, and His Majesty ordered Hai Dafu to announce the imperial edict.

Just listen, Hai Dafu recited:

"Since ancient times, emperors have inherited the sky and ruled the land. They must establish the Yuan Chu, Maolong the country, and protect the fortune. The Mianzong Society has no rest. Hang down. Entrust the most important."

"Xiao Rui, the seventh son of my emperor, is handsome in appearance, beautiful in talent, perfect in culture, virtue and military, and can inherit the great cause, so it is scheduled to be granted on February 6th, the twenty-fourth year of Yongli, to grant his book, treasure, and seal blessing, Standing as the Crown Prince, taking the right place in the East Palace, honoring the rule of thousands of years, and connecting the hearts of the world, I sincerely report to the heavens and the earth, the ancestral temple, and the community."

"This!"

Xiao Rui immediately knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, then got up and stepped forward to receive the crown prince's seal bestowed by Emperor Xia himself.

And when Xiao Rui got up, all civil and military officials saluted and congratulated Prince Xiao Rui.

Next, there are some edicts after the crown prince was canonized, including the court's grace, tax exemption, amnesty for death row prisoners, etc., as well as the establishment of the Zhan Shifu Yamen to serve the prince, and the deployment of officials and troops.

And at the end of the ceremony, outside the West Water Gate, two fast horses galloped aggressively, showing no sign of slowing down, so frightened that when the soldiers of the patrol battalion were about to surround them, the captain of the patrol battalion saw the person clearly He immediately shouted: "It's the express report from Babaili! Don't stop them! Let them enter the city directly!"

The soldiers quickly cleared the passage and let the fast horses enter the city.

The people avoided one after another and looked back, only then did they see who came.

Two middle-aged men with the appearance of postmen came galloping on horseback. Behind them was the command flag dedicated to the eight hundred li rush. When the two rushed into the city, the middle-aged man in front shouted: "Xiangzhou Great Victory!" Great victory in Xiangzhou!"

And when the people around heard it clearly, the two postmen had already rushed away, leaving only the bewildered crowd, followed by discussions.

"What did I just hear? Fragrant pigs rob? Pigs can also rob?"

"Stupid! People say that Xiangzhou is a great victory! Oh my god, Xiangzhou went to war? And it won?"

"It must have beaten Zhao Guogui's son! Haha, you dare to send someone to assassinate the King of Chu!"

"The victory of the eight-hundred-mile express express must be an overwhelming victory!"

Two postmen galloped across the city and shouted along the street: "Xiangzhou Great Victory, Xiangzhou Great Victory", which made the already lively day even more crowded and full of enthusiasm.

The postman rushed to the Meridian Gate and stopped. The two of them knelt on one knee, presented the urgent report with both hands, and shouted: "General, send an urgent report at eight hundred miles from Xiangzhou! Soldier block"

The forbidden army immediately took the military report, turned around and rushed into the palace.

Zhuge Yuanba, as the chief inspector of the imperial army, was appointed the crown prince by King Xian today, so he was naturally present. When the ceremony was coming to an end, General Jin Wuwei rushed over suddenly and presented him with an urgent report.

After seeing it, Zhuge Yuanba was overjoyed deeply, and then, taking advantage of the canonization ceremony was about to end, he hurried out of the queue and shouted: "Your Majesty, hurry up and report at eight hundred miles from Xiangzhou, and the Zhao army sent 80,000 troops to invade Xiangzhou."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Today is the day when the crown prince can be conferred, and the state of Zhao actually invaded Xiangzhou. The prince suddenly went to war just after he was conferred. Is there any bad omen?

Emperor Xia sat high on the dragon chair and shouted: "Read!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhuge Yuanba received the order, and immediately opened the express to read.

"My lord, on the twenty-ninth night of the first lunar month, Zhao Jun's general Wei Chiyong led 80,000 enemy troops. He set off from Tongshan and invaded Xiangzhou under the moonlight, intending to attack our army! He set a trap on the road he must pass, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack first. The Zhao army was defeated and fled in a hurry. The ranger general Han Xin led 5,000 white-robed cavalry to chase and kill the enemy. Wei Chiyong, General of the State of Zhao. The last general led the army to march westward, captured a hundred miles of the territory of the State of Zhao, and broke through the base camp of the Zhao Army in Tongshan. After the battle, a total of 45,000 enemy troops were wiped out and 18,000 prisoners of war were captured. Thousands of people, more than 25,000 horses, and countless weapons and chariots! Finally, Chen Qingzhi bowed down."

As soon as Zhuge Yuanba finished reading, the uproarious civil and military ministers fell silent.

Victory? It turned out to be a great victory!

Zhao Guo assassinated the King of Chu without repentance, and even dared to invade Xia Guo and provoked a war on his own initiative! I really don't know how to live or die!

What is even more powerful is Chen Qingzhi, who only has 60,000 horses. Now he not only wins more with less, but also wins a complete victory. In the first national war with Zhao Guo, he achieved such a gratifying result, which is so beautiful!

"Long live my emperor!"

At this moment, an unknown official couldn't help himself, and directly shouted long live, and in an instant, all the civil and military officials in the hall saluted together.

Standing beside Emperor Xia, Xiao Rui was not surprised by this result. Yu Chiyong claimed to be smart, and he really thought that he could transfer the tiger away from the mountain to hide Chen Cang. It was all left over from Han Xin's play! Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi set up a trap to ambush them, not to mention that the other party came with 80,000, even if they came with 100,000, they would have to kill and flee!

But Han Xin is so fierce that he even chased and killed Yu Chiyong and beheaded him! He is the uncle of Prince Zhao, a second-rank general, so he was chopped up by the little-known Han Xin?

It's hard for Han Xin not to be famous now, he deserves to be a soldier-level figure!

Emperor Xia laughed out loud. He had already calculated it, but he did not expect that the congratulatory gift Chen Qingzhi gave him was too gratifying, and it was on such an important occasion today.

Emperor Xia stood up, and a resounding voice sounded: "I canonized the crown prince today, and a great victory came from Xiangzhou! It can be seen that King Xian is the crown prince, and it is the bell of the country's destiny, the hearts of the people and the army! Pass my will! The great victory of Xiangzhou Announce it to the world, and congratulate it together! To Chen Qingzhi, Han Xin and the soldiers, rewards for meritorious deeds, heavy rewards!"

"In addition, the State of Zhao is going against the grain, and does not want to repent! How dare he take the initiative to attack, and he does not know whether he is dead or alive! The cabinet drafted an order and ordered the Ministry of War to deploy troops. First, Marquis Chang Sheng and Marquis Xiaoyong should be on guard to guard against the Zhao army's sneak attack. Later, Marquis Chang Sheng Tian Boyuan is the general of the state of Feng, and the heroic Hou Wangfeng is the general of Zhaoyong. They have drawn soldiers from the guards of the prefectures to form an army of 200,000. Together, the two men have 200,000 troops, and a total of 400,000 troops will march west to Zhao! Grain, soldiers and horses , Baggage, all government departments coordinate allocation."

"My humble servant receives the order!" Li Mingchong and Huo Xingye immediately received the order.

The national war has finally begun.

The 400,000 army conquering Zhao State is definitely the largest war in Xia State in the past 12 years.

In this way, Xiao Rui's canonization ceremony ended with the sound of great victory.

Hundreds of officials dispersed, each performing his duties.

Xiao Rui followed Emperor Xia to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Once he becomes the crown prince, Xiao Rui will no longer be an assistant officer of the Inspectorate, but follow His Majesty's side and get in touch with state affairs. This is a learning process.

When he came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the corner of Xiao Rui's mouth twitched.

His Majesty actually placed a shorter little dragon case next to his dragon case, just like the VIP desk next to the teacher's podium in a high school classroom, no matter how you look at it, it feels funny.

"How is it? Do you like this position? From now on, I will study hard here. Now that I have become the prince, I will share it for me." Emperor Xia laughed.

What can Xiao Rui say! You can't just protest against your seat on the first day you are a prince. So he said obediently: "I understand!"

After finishing speaking, he stared fiercely at Hai Dafu, it must be the table he got.

Hai Dafu felt the murderous intent, he was in a daze, he didn't know where he had offended His Highness the Crown Prince, this kid was in trouble, and his good days in the future were gone.
