Chapter 448 Entering the East Palace
"This is the seal that Grandpa Huang gave you."

"From now on, my Xiaoxian will be the crown prince." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"What a beautiful seal, I like it." Li Xian took the seal and said happily.

"Li Yan, this is yours." Li Shimin looked at his granddaughter with a smile and gave her a seal.

then.

Looking at the other two illegitimate sons, Li Zhiming's eyes were kind, but not the same as those towards the two legitimate grandsons.

This is what Li Shimin said he adhered to, there is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children.

Absolutely no deviation is allowed.

After all identity seals were granted.

"from now on."

"You are all included in the royal family tree."

"For my royal bloodline." Li Shimin said majestically.

"Thank you, father." Li Zheng said loudly.

"Li Qing, are there any other etiquette?" Li Shimin looked at Li Qing.

"Return to the Emperor."

"The ceremony is over."

"You can go back to the palace now." Li Qing said respectfully.

Li Shimin nodded, then looked at the countless subjects below and said majestically: "Today, the crown prince ascends the throne. In order to show the grace of heaven's protection, today, a general amnesty will be granted to the world, and minor crimes can be pardoned."

Hear this.

Countless subjects were excited: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty is wise..."

The loud shouts spread throughout the world.

Subsequently.

This grand ceremony ended just like that.

The subjects dispersed one after another.

Li Shimin and Li Zheng also returned to the palace.

This grand ceremony will also spread from Chang'an to all parts of the world, and the court's enthronement announcement will also spread along with it.

Everyone in the world knows the crown prince.

East Palace.

Zhou Fusheng had already arrived with servants and personal guards.

In front of the East Palace gate.

Zhou Fusheng, as well as some of the original servants, eunuchs, and maids of the Eastern Palace came out to greet them.

"Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the East Palace."

Zhou Fusheng shouted.

Outside the East Palace.

Thousands of people knelt down.

There are five hundred personal guards.

There are also six or seven hundred servants and eunuchs in the Eastern Palace.

"Welcome to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

everyone chanted.

As for the servants of the former Duke's Mansion, they were not too concerned except for being excited. However, for the former servant eunuchs, their feelings at this moment were extremely complicated, because from now on, the East Palace had a master again.

It is unknown what their future situation will be like.

Li Zheng held Qin Wan'er's hand and walked down from the imperial carriage slowly with his two legitimate children.

Looking at the East Palace in front of me.

Li Zheng had an indescribable feeling. Deep down, he didn't want to live in the East Palace.

"Flat body."

Li Zheng looked around and said loudly.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Everyone stood up and looked at Li Zheng stiffly.

"Grandpa Zhou, the arrangements of the East Palace servants are all left to you." Li Zheng looked at Zhou Fusheng and said.

"Master, please don't worry."

"I have arranged everything in the Eastern Palace." Zhou Fusheng replied with a smile.

At this time.

Concubine Chen and several of the Crown Prince's concubines walked up to Li Zheng and bowed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"My dear wives, there is no need to do this."

"Your offerings will remain the same, and all your servants will remain the same."

"I won't do anything."

"Some of the princesses under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be left to your care. If you have any problems, go directly to Wan'er and she will make proper arrangements." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Several concubines nodded repeatedly.

"Wan'er."

"Please take good care of the prince and princess in the East Palace from now on."

"There are also several Wang sisters who need to be taken care of." Li Zheng turned his head and smiled at Qin Wan'er. "Don't worry."

Qin Wan'er also smiled and nodded.

"Master."

"Everything in the East Palace has been arranged."

"The meals have also been prepared."

"You can enter the palace now." Zhou Fusheng said with a smile.

"Let everything in the mansion remain the same as before." Li Zheng said, walking slowly towards the East Palace.

When Li Zheng stepped into the East Palace today.

The Tang Empire also seemed to have opened a new chapter.

.......
The next day.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

Li Zheng has completed his entry into the Eastern Palace.

The court meeting originally scheduled for the day of enthronement was moved to the next day.

In the main hall.

All officials gathered.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon throne, while Li Zheng, wearing a royal robe, stood on the stairs.

Wherever the father and son looked, all the civil and military officials in the hall were overlooking, as if they had the whole world in their control.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty live long, long, long, long."

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years."

The entire court knelt down and shouted in unison.

"Stand up." Li Shimin smiled slightly and said loudly.

Looking at Li Zheng standing in front of him, he was very happy in his heart. He had been planning for so long, and his son had finally come out into the open.

The crown prince is in charge of government and oversees the country.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

All the civil and military officials in the court said in unison.

"If you have the memorial, please leave the court. If not, please leave the court." Wang De shouted loudly to the officials in the court.

"I have a report to make." Qin Jiansheng stood up and said loudly.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Go on."

"Five days ago."

"There are a total of fifty-eight generals selected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they have now been deployed to various vassal states to garrison and command troops."

"Many generals from nearby fiefdoms have already arrived. Within ten days, all dispatched generals will complete their command and garrison." Qin Jiansheng said respectfully.

Hear this.

Except for a few people who knew the truth, everyone in the court looked on in shock.

"Has the prince's military power been taken away?"

"From what the Duke of Protector of the Country said, it is indeed the case."

"If this is true, then there will be no more troubles caused by the princes, and all military power will be controlled by the emperor."

"Great."

"In the past, if we tried to persuade the emperor, he would be furious. But now, his mind has finally changed. With the additional military power given to the princes, we can completely put an end to the trouble caused by the princes."

Many court officials who cared about the country were overjoyed and excited when they heard the news.

"This was done well."

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

"From now on, unless the imperial power grants it, the princes will not command the army, but only the government. The princes are not allowed to contact each other privately. Those who disobey the order will be severely punished, and those who refuse to change after repeated admonitions will be deposed."

"Li Zheng, record this in my ancestral precepts." Li Shimin looked at Li Zheng again and said.

"My son understands."

Li Zheng replied immediately.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"This old minister has something to report." Changsun Wuji stood up and said respectfully.

"Say it," Li Shimin said.

"A few days ago, the Jingzhou Prefecture and Shanxi Prefecture Yamen reported a matter."

"The former Minister of Revenue Chen Jing and the former Minister of Rites Wang Tao were attacked and killed by bandits on their way home. Not a single member of the family, including the servants, survived."

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

Changsun Wuji said in a serious tone.

Hear this.

The expressions of all the civil and military officials in the court changed.

Being attacked and killed by bandits on the way back to surrender is too weird.

Many court officials couldn't help but turn their eyes to Li Zheng, with some guesses in their minds.
