Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 363: The Crown Prince ascends the throne, the reign is named "Zhenguan"

After a while.

After Lin Ruofu left the Guangxin Palace, he came to the Zhenghua Palace.

However, when he walked into the hall, he still saw many officials discussing things.

Lin Ruofu shook his head helplessly and came into the crowd.

Soon, someone saw Lin Ruofu and immediately bowed to him and said, "Greetings, Prime Minister Lin."

The officials of all ranks around also began to bow and say, "Greetings, Prime Minister Lin."

Lin Ruofu waved his hand to everyone and said, "No need to be polite."

"What were you discussing just now?"

The Minister of Rites immediately said, "Prime Minister Lin, we are discussing what to do next."

"It has now arrived at the time announced by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but there is still no clue about the assassins."

"So, we are thinking, should we continue to look for the assassin, or let the new king ascend the throne first."

After Lin Ruofu understood what was going on, he asked, "Do we need to discuss this matter?"

"Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that if the assassin is not caught and the late emperor cannot be avenged within the stipulated time, then he will inherit the throne."

"Now the time has come, do you still want to regret it?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent and no one dared to say anything more.

Then, Lin Ruofu said, "Revenge for the late emperor is indeed very important."

"However, the matter of the new monarch ascending the throne is of utmost importance."

"It's already the third day, if this matter still can't be completely settled."

"When the time comes, if the country falls into division and unnecessary things happen, who will take the responsibility?"

At this point, all the officials present fell silent again.

Some people even lowered their heads, no longer having the same high fighting spirit as before.

Seeing that no one answered, Lin Ruofu was about to say something else, but then he saw a few people sitting in the corner.

He chuckled and walked over quickly.

"So it's Dean Chen and the Earl. I saw them when I came in just now. I'm so sorry."

Chen Pingping smiled but said nothing. Instead, Fan Jian stood up from the ground and said to Lin Ruofu:

"Minister Lin is joking."

"We are of low rank and dare not agree with you."

Lin Ruofu smiled and said, "We are all officials in the same dynasty, so what's the point of talking about superiority and inferiority?"

"But do you have any objections to what I just said?"

Fan Jian was about to speak but was stopped by Chen Pingping.

"No."

Chen Pingping shook his head and said, "We have no objection. We respect what Prime Minister Lin said in everything."

When Lin Ruofu saw that Fan Jian didn't say anything and the people behind him also kept silent, he understood what was going on.

It seems that this matter has been completely accomplished!
Seeing this, Lin Ruofu cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then it's settled."

"His Royal Highness will be here later, and it will depend on your performance."

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in front of the hall door:

"The Crown Prince is here!"

As these words came out, everyone looked towards the hall.

Sure enough, outside the hall, Li Chengze, Li Chengru, Li Chengping and Li Hongcheng walked slowly towards them.

The officials in the hall all bowed and shouted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Even Lin Ruofu, Fan Jian and others bowed down.

Li Chengze had a blank expression on his face and did not say much. He put his hands behind his back and walked towards the center.

Soon, he threw away the python robe behind him, sat upright on the dragon throne, looked at the hall in front of him, and slowly said:

"Everyone is safe!"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone then stood up straight.

Li Chengze spoke again: "Everyone, I just received news." "Because the assassins are very cunning, for some unknown reason, they have left the palace."

"So, the imperial guards assassins in the palace did not catch them."

"I am deeply saddened by this, and I don't know when I can avenge my father."

At this time, Lin Ruofu stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please accept my condolences."

"The assassins came to the palace to assassinate, it was a premeditated act, they will definitely be able to leave safely afterwards."

"Since this is the case, I beg Your Highness to allow me to inherit the throne and ascend the throne as the emperor as you said three days ago!"

"In this way, we can attack Northern Qi under the pretext of avenging the late emperor!"

After listening to Lin Ruofu's words, Li Chengze pretended to think for a moment before speaking:
"Everyone, do you have any objections?"

The Minister of War stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I second the motion."

"I feel that what Minister Lin said is completely realistic and should be so."

The Supervisory Censor also cupped his hands and said, "I second the motion."

Cabinet Scholar: “I second the motion.

Many officials followed closely behind.

Even Fan Jian and Chen Pingping expressed their agreement.

Seeing this, Li Chengze sighed helplessly and said, "Since you all say so, I will not refuse anymore."

Having said that, he stood up from the dragon chair.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged eunuch walked quickly from the side, holding an exquisite wooden box in his hands.

When he opened the wooden box, he found a jade seal inside.

Li Chengze stretched out his hand, took out the jade seal, placed it flat in his palm, and slowly raised it above his head.

Then, he said, "From now on, I will inherit the will of heaven and the people, and ascend the throne to be the emperor!"

"Tomorrow at noon, I will be in the Taiji Palace and officially ascend the throne!"

Lin Ruofu immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

As soon as Lin Ruofu finished speaking, officials of all ranks behind him knelt on the ground.

"My lord, see your majesty!"

"My lord, see your majesty!"

"My lord, see your majesty!"

……

At that moment, all the people in the hall knelt down and bowed.

Li Chengze smiled and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wait until everyone stood up.

Li Chengze then said: "Since I have ascended the throne, shouldn't I change the reign title?"

Then, others began to discuss.

Since a new monarch has ascended the throne, he naturally cannot continue to use the previous reign title.

Moreover, the choice of the era name cannot be careless. It should be simple, clear and meaningful when people mention it.

But all of a sudden, I couldn’t think of a good reign title.

Some people want to use "天佑", which means "Heaven's blessing", some want to use "祥彩", which means "auspicious and wonderful", and some people think "永庆" is good, which means "庆国永恒"...

For a moment, there were all kinds of era names, with endless layers and all kinds of things said, and the scene fell into noise again.

After a while.

Seeing that everyone was arguing endlessly without any conclusion, Li Chengze waved his hand.

At this moment, the middle-aged eunuch beside him immediately swung the whisk in his hand and shouted, "Silence!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengze spoke.

"Since there is so much debate over the reign title, how about using 'Zhenguan' instead?"
