Tian's little cook

Chapter 623 Qin Tianjian

Ever since the Feng Chan matter was decided, Huangfu Xuan paid special attention to it, and asked Mu Zizhuo to meet him in the imperial study from time to time.

All of a sudden, the Ministry of Rites, which is the least valued among the six departments, has now become the most popular department around the emperor, making other people envious.

In the imperial study room, Mu Zizhuo reported to Huangfu Xuan the latest progress of Feng Chan.

"Your Majesty, the preparations for the early stage of Feng Chan have been properly arranged. Yesterday, several officials from the Ministry of Rituals were sent to Mount Tai first to prepare for local affairs."

"Well done!" Huangfu Xuan was very happy, "This is left to you, so I can rest assured."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Mu Zizhuo bowed, stood up and said, "At present, the entourage has not been properly arranged."

The emperor's Fengchan was actually a trip, and the eunuchs, maids and guards naturally had to go a lot, and the entourage that Mu Zizhuo pointed out were members of the royal family.

Among them, the most difficult point is which prince to choose.

Because since ancient times, the princes who followed the king to enshrine Zen were all princes.

Even if he is not a crown prince, as long as he goes to participate in Fengchan, he will basically be a crown prince after returning.

Because once offering sacrifices to heaven and earth with the emperor, it is equivalent to the emperor telling heaven that this prince will inherit his seat and become the next chosen one.

Hearing what Mu Zizhuo said, Huangfu Xuan finally came to his senses.

Because Emperor Gaozu, who was the first emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty, conducted the Fengchan, but other emperors did not, so the importance of bringing the princes to perform the Fengchan is not clear.

"Your Majesty, you need to choose one of the Second Prince and the Third Prince." Mu Zizhuo handed him this hot potato.

Huangfuxuan was in a difficult situation for a while, but this time, when he chose, he chose the prince.

He knew that Huangfuchu and Huangfurui were fighting for the position of crown prince, but he never said it, and was even somewhat happy to see this situation.

Huangfu Xuan felt that although he had a serious illness last year, he was recovering well now, and the throne could still sit firmly for many years, so he didn't want to establish a prince so early.

The fight between the two sons can help him balance the situation, and at the same time make them easier to control.

But at this moment, Feng Chan was imminent, and Huangfu Xuan had to make a decision.

"Mu Shangshu, what do you think about this?" Huangfu Xuan asked.

Mu Zizhuo quickly declined: "Your Majesty, the position of the crown prince is related to the country and the country, and I dare not have any opinions. This matter needs to be decided by the Emperor himself."

Huangfu Xuan was very satisfied with his actions. Mu Zizhuo never formed a party for personal gain, and belonged to the neutral faction. His words carried a lot more weight in his heart than other ministers.

"Mu Shangshu don't have to be afraid, I just want to ask your opinion." Huangfuxuan changed the phrase: "What criteria did the previous kings choose the prince to go there?"

"Indeed." Mu Zizhuo nodded and said, "Before enshrining Zen, all members of the royal family will ask Qin Tianjian to combine five elements and eight characters. If anyone violates this, they cannot go there."

Huangfu Xuan said happily, he had an idea, "Well, let Qin Tianjian check the five elements and eight characters of Chu'er and Rui'er first."

In the Dasheng Dynasty, Qin Tianjian was not only in charge of observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, formulating calendars, but also shouldering the functions of calculating the five elements and eight characters and divination.

However, like the Ministry of Rites, Qin Tianjian is also a deserted place, which is rarely thought of by the emperor.

The horoscopes of Huangfurui and Huangfuchu were secretly sent to Qin Tianjian, and one day later, Cao Weizheng, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, asked for an audience.
