Chapter 180 The Prince
On the morning of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor announced in front of civil and military officials that Song Yucheng would be named the crown prince.

Before, there was a fight in the court because of the matter of the crown prince, but the emperor never said a word. No one thought that if the emperor did not speak, he would directly decide the candidate for the crown prince.

Those who supported Song Yucheng were naturally overjoyed, but those who supported Song Yuhong were all dumbfounded, isn't this too sudden?Could it be that An Guogong has no hope at all?

Immediately, many people stood up to oppose, and then those who supported Song Yucheng inevitably came out to argue, and the two sides quarreled again.

"I have made up my mind, you lovers don't have to quarrel anymore, Song Yucheng, Duke of Jing, canonize the crown prince, and Song Yuhong, Duke of An, is the heir of King Yi."

The emperor once had a younger brother, who died before he was an adult, and was posthumously named King Yi.

The emperor made Song Yuhong the heir of King Yi, which means that Song Yuhong was adopted by King Yi, so that he could inherit the title of King Yi in the future.

After all, he was selected from so many clan children, and he had grown up with him for several years, so the emperor had to arrange a future for Song Yuhong.

"I have already set the date of the canonization ceremony with Qin Tianjian, the second day of February next year." The emperor said with a cold face and a firm tone, not allowing others to object.

"In addition, the Seventh Lady of the Yongguo Duke's Mansion has outstanding talents and intelligence, and is gentle and virtuous with a benevolent heart and benevolence. She can be a model for women.

I make the decision to marry the prince and hire him as the prince's official concubine. After the prince canonization ceremony, the engagement ceremony will be performed. "

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty have been stunned by the bombs thrown by the emperor one after another today. Who would have thought that the emperor not only decided on the candidate for the crown prince, but also the candidate for the crown prince?
Duke Jing is the crown prince, and the daughter of the Bai family is Crown Princess Shi. The Bai family is standing with Duke Jing.

Co-authoring this time, Lord Yasukuni visited the border, not only made great contributions, but also found a daughter-in-law back.

The Bai family controls hundreds of thousands of loyal troops, and Duke Yongguo is the second chancellor. With such help from Duke Jingguo, the crown prince's throne is naturally as stable as Mount Tai.

"The minister waits to congratulate His Majesty, and congratulates His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The emperor even used my self-proclaimed name, what do these courtiers not understand?Those ministers who originally supported Song Yucheng immediately saluted and congratulated him.

The others hesitated for a moment, and could only salute and congratulate reluctantly.

The emperor seemed very satisfied, and nodded, "Scholar Han, immediately draw up an order for me and announce it to the world.

All my life, I was not very happy to have such a beautiful son in my later years. The country has a future, and the country has succeeded, so it should be celebrated by the whole world. "

The scholar of Jixian Academy, Master Zhizhi Gao Han, is a well-known Confucian, with beautiful writings, and it is perfect for him to write the imperial edict.

Upon hearing the words, Han University scholar left class immediately, "I obey the order."

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were already prepared there, Mr. Han immediately went over to sit down, contemplated for a while, then picked up the pen to write, and after a while, the imperial edict was drafted and sent to the emperor for review.

The emperor nodded after reading it, "Scholar Han is worthy of being a famous Confucian, with quick thinking and brilliant literary talent, very good, let's use this edict."

The emperor nodded and approved, and the Han University scholar over there wrote a new copy, and then stamped the emperor's jade seal. The edict was completed and the dust settled.

From then on, Song Yucheng was the emperor's son and the prince of the Great Zhao Dynasty.

"Cheng'er, from now on you have to come to the court every day. After the morning court, you will handle the government affairs with me, study hard, the country and society are on your shoulders, don't let me down."

The emperor called Song Yucheng to him, touched the top of his head, and instructed.

"My son has little talent, little learning, and meager morality. He was valued by his father and made him a prince, and he was sincere and fearful.

I dare not live up to my father's entrustment, and I am willing to do my best for the people of the court with this meager body. From now on, I will definitely do my best, and I will not dare to be negligent for a day. "

Song Yucheng knelt down in front of the emperor, kowtowed respectfully, and recognized the relationship between father and son.

From then on, he was the emperor's son, the prince of Dazhao, and the jade plate of the clan had to be rewritten, and he was no longer the son of the Huaiyin county lieutenant.

Song Yucheng, Duke of Jingguo, was selected by the emperor as the crown prince, and the seventh lady in Bai Xiangye's mansion was chosen by the emperor to be the crown prince. The news quickly spread throughout the capital.

The common people talked a lot, and most of them were happy for Bai Mengjin.

In the eyes of the people in the capital, Bai Qiniang is the female Bodhisattva who saves the suffering. For such a good person, it is most suitable to marry the prince to be the princess and become the queen in the future.

Of course, after hearing the news, some people went mad with anger and smashed a lot of things at home.

For example, An Guogong Song Yuhong who did not go to the early dynasty, such as the fifth lady of Shi Xiang's family, and Bai Xiuyu, the daughter of Bai Zongmin, and so on.

When Song Yuhong learned that the position of the crown prince had been decided, he was only the heir of Prince Yi, so he went mad with anger, smashed all the decorations in the house, and injured several servants in the mansion.

Later, it was the eldest son of Shi Mingyuan's family who arrived, and the two muttered something in the room, and Song Yuhong stopped going crazy. He only said that he was sick and would not come out, and refused to visit the guests.

Those ministers who had taken refuge with Duke Anguo before, seeing that the dust had settled and the general situation was gone, and Duke Anguo was no longer worthless, how could they visit Duke Anguo's mansion?They all tried to find a way to hug the prince's thigh.

There were also quite a few people who prepared generous gifts and ran to wait in front of Duke Jing's mansion, just to show their favor to the prince.

Facing the flattery and flattery of the officials, Song Yucheng was very calm. He went to the court every day and accompanied the emperor to review the memorials after the court.

It stands to reason that the prince should live in the East Palace inside Lizhengmen, but the East Palace has been idle for many years and has not been repaired, so it cannot be lived in for a while, so Song Yucheng still lives in the Yasukuni Mansion.

Every day after he returned to the mansion, he closed the door to thank the guests. He didn't see any officials. He only played with Bai Mengjin, tinkering with magic arm crossbows, gunpowder pots, Molotov cocktails, etc., or just reading books.

No matter who outside asks to see, just don't care.

In the blink of an eye, this year is coming to an end.On New Year's Eve, a grand Nuo ceremony will be held in the palace.

Marriage officers and sergeants of Zhubanzhi in the imperial city wear masks, wear colorful clothes embroidered or painted, and hold golden spears and dragon flags.

Choose a tall man, put on a full-frame gold-plated copper armor, and pretend to be a general, and the rest will pretend to be door gods, judges, Zhong Kui, land gods, and kitchen gods. There are more than a thousand people in total.

Exorcising evil spirits in the palace, all the way out of Donghuamen, turning to Longchi Bay, "burying evil spirits" will be considered as the end.

Song Yucheng was already the crown prince, so on New Year's Eve, he would naturally accompany the emperor and empress to observe the new year and have a reunion in the palace.

As for Bai Mengjin, she is not yet the daughter-in-law of the royal family, so she is naturally in the White Mansion, watching the new year with Lin's sister-in-law and nephews.

Bai Mengjin ordered someone to move the fireworks she made recently to the yard, and led her nephews to set off fireworks in the yard.

When the children saw the colorful fireworks blooming in the sky, they were all very happy, and the cheers spread far away.

And the people near Baifu were also dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

They had never seen fireworks that could fly so high, so beautiful, and so bright. Many people came out to watch, and it became a scene near Baominfang.
