A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 182 The Enthronement Ceremony
What does Jiang Taohua want?

Shen Zaye sneered: "I seem to be the kind of person who would do things to please women?"

After all, he turned his head and entered the palace.

The enthronement ceremony of the new emperor is just around the corner, and Prime Minister Shen stayed in the mansion all the time and did not move rashly, but today he went to the imperial study for the first time, and had a secret talk with the new emperor.

When Chu Shan and the others received the news, they stood guard outside the Imperial Study Room uneasily, for fear that Shen Zaiye would cut off the new emperor if he got excited, and then seek to usurp the throne.

As a result, an hour later, Mu Wuxia brought Shen Zaiye out, looked at the people outside with a very calm expression, and said, "Prime Minister Shen is the elder of the two dynasties, so let him do the crowning ceremony for the enthronement ceremony."

The gift of wearing a crown?Chu Shan was stunned, and looked at Shen Zaye behind him with a complicated expression: "The prime minister means that he is willing to support the new emperor's enthronement?"

"Shen has never said that he is unwilling." Shen Zaiye smiled and said: "The new emperor is expected by everyone, how can Shen not respect him?"

Then what do you mean by not handing over the will after you made such a big fuss earlier?Chu Shan frowned, and couldn't figure it out for a while. He just thought that this person had changed his mind after seeing that the overall situation was settled, so he nodded, "It's my blessing for the prime minister to think so."

"Also." Mu Wuxia said seriously: "The envoys back to Zhao have already stepped up their horses, and will send the news of the alliance back to the past in a few days. We should also reorganize our troops and prepare to attack Wu."

Chu Shan paused, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the late emperor's intention at that time seemed to be to attack Zhao..."

"The Kingdom of Zhao has an alliance with the Great Wei, and it is unjust to attack." Mu Wuxia said solemnly, "The army of the Great Wei is strong enough to attack Wu, so there is nothing to be afraid of. I have never made any achievements in the Great Treasure, and I am afraid I will not be able to convince the public. , this time, I will lead my army to take down the ten cities of the state of Wu."

When everyone heard it, they naturally had different thoughts.Chu Shan frowned and said, "Your Majesty is young and energetic, I can understand. But the decision to attack Wu was too hasty, I'm afraid..."

This is said in a subtle way, but what does it really mean is that you brat can beat you whenever you want?Returning the ten cities of the Wu Kingdom, I'm afraid I don't even know the name of the border town!

Mu Wuxia glanced at him, and said with a light smile, "What is rashness? I have been the hostage of Wu State for more than ten years, and no one knows the situation of Wu State better than me. Right now, the royal family of Wu State is fighting fiercely, and the border is tense. The city is garrisoned by the soldiers under the command of the Second Prince. At this time, if we attack, the Crown Prince of Wu Kingdom will probably help us, Great Wei. The east wind is already blowing, how can we not beat the drums?"

When the officials heard this, they remembered that the new emperor had indeed been the proton of Wu for many years.Thinking about it this way, his words are believable.

Shen Zaiye glanced at their faces, and smiled lowly: "It seems that His Majesty is not as popular as he seems, and some people don't listen to his golden words."

This tone was rather gloating. When Chu Shan heard it, he immediately frowned and said, "Your Majesty's words, the ministers naturally want to listen. Since Your Majesty has this plan, after the humble minister discusses with the general of the court, he will attack. Wu Zhice sent it to the Imperial Study Room."

"Okay." Mu Wuxia nodded: "Soldiers are precious, and I will give you one day. Tomorrow, you will set up the commander and hang the flag, and prepare to send troops."

"The minister obeys the order."

Shen Zaiye watched the group of people retreat, stood behind Mu Wuxia and looked at the clear sky outside.

"The day is finally here." He chuckled softly, "I don't know how those old friends will feel when they see you and me again."

Mu Wuxia pursed her lips, her eyes were a little erratic, and she murmured: "According to the days, it's only been more than two years. Why do I feel like it's been half my life?"

"Your Majesty is still young." Shen Zaiye smiled: "Your life is still very long, I will definitely let you achieve your wish and live in peace forever."

With a slight movement in his heart, Mu Wuxia frowned and looked back at him.

"Don't worry." Shen Zaiye said gently and honestly: "The rest of my life will definitely be prosperous and rich, and I will die."

"Okay." His brows loosened, and Mu Wuxia led him out: "Since you've said that, I don't have to worry about it anymore. But, didn't you say that the matter of attacking Wu would be discussed after the enthronement ceremony? Why are you so anxious now?"

"I'm not in a hurry." Shen Zaiye said: "It's just an alliance between the two countries, some things have to be prepared in advance."

"The preparation you said is to make Zhao Guo promise the third prince to be in command?" Mu Wuxia raised his eyebrows: "Is this person related to you?"

Shen Zaiye said seriously: "The only general Zhao Guo can use is Jiang Changjue."

"I have heard of this." Mu Wuxia stopped, and swept Shen in a circle: "But this is not what I asked, I want to know, is this person Sister Jiang's imperial brother?"

Shen Zaiya didn't say a word, and turned his head to look elsewhere.

Mu Wuxia suddenly realized, and then smiled: "The prime minister really bothered."

"I don't mean to be partial." Shen Zaiye said indifferently: "It's just that he is really suitable."

"I understand." Mu Wuxia nodded solemnly, but he still couldn't help showing a teasing look in his eyes: "You also have today..."

Shen Zaiye, who has always been so cold-blooded that he doesn't get involved in ordinary affairs, and doesn't care about half-heartedness, is willing to think about Sister Jiang, and even came to him in such a hurry, and quietly added this condition into the alliance letter, he must have really moved Sincerely.

This kind of Shen Zaiye doesn't look so annoying anymore, he is no longer a cold stone statue, but a flesh and blood man in the world.

Sister Jiang is really amazing!
With a light cough, Shen Zaiye pursed his lips and said, "I still have something to do, so I will leave the palace first. Your Majesty should prepare for the enthronement ceremony tomorrow."

"Yeah." Mu Wuxia nodded, and stood there with his hands behind his back, watching him leave in a hurry.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Taohua got up early in the morning, tidied herself up carefully, put on a dress, put on a beaded crown, and prepared to wait in front of the Qianyuan Hall just like a married woman in court.

As soon as he opened the door of Zhengchun Pavilion, he saw Shen Zaiye. He had already tidied up, and stretched out his hand to himself with a straight face: "Let's go."

Grinning, Taohua handed him her hand, allowing him to take her into the car, and then still stretched her head to look at the scenery outside.

These days, the distance between her and Shen Venom is really getting farther and farther, whether it is physically or mentally.Although she was a little uncomfortable, she felt that it was not bad, and she returned to her proper position, and she felt more comfortable doing things.

"Take your head back." Shen Zaiye said.

After a peach blossom meal, she put down the curtain obediently, looked at her nose with her eyes, watched her heart with her mouth, and sat down quietly.

"Do you know that Nian Liguo, the official censor in the court?" he asked suddenly.

How can she know this?Taohua shook her head: "I don't know."

"He is over 50 years old and has no children." Shen Zaiye said expressionlessly: "I once had a son when he was in his 40s, and that kid stuck his head out when he was riding in a carriage. The out-of-control carriage passed by, directly knocked off his head, and died on the spot."

With a chill behind her back, Tao Hua touched her neck in shock: "What else is going on?"

"So, stop sticking your head out."

"..." So he cared about her?Taohua curled her lips, would it be better to say no earlier?If she was so vicious and didn't explain clearly, how did she know that such a thing happened in the capital?
After murmuring twice, she responded in a low voice: "Thank you for your concern."

With a soft snort, Shen Zaiye turned his head away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard that the Lord will perform the ceremony of crowning and wearing the crown for the new emperor." Taohua looked at him and suddenly asked, "Is this very meaningful to you?"

Can crown the emperor, such etiquette is meaningful to anyone, okay?Shen Zaiye glanced at her sideways: "Naturally."

Taohua nodded, thought for a while in silence, and suddenly asked, "Is the Lord from Wu?"

When his face changed, Shen Zaiye looked at her sharply: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She didn't intend to ask this question at first, but whoever thought it slipped out of her throat inadvertently.Jiang Taohua hurriedly covered her mouth, shook her head and said, "This concubine made a mistake, don't take it to heart."

Squinting his eyes, Shen Zaiye stretched out his hand to bring her over, and looked at her deeply: "Are you... guessing something?"

"Master, don't worry about it so much." Taohua smiled dryly, and said with erratic eyes: "You are so nervous, but it makes me feel bad."

Originally, he was just skeptical, but his reaction was as if something really happened.

With a serious look on his face, Shen Zaiye said: "There are some things that cannot be guessed randomly, you'd better not even think about them, otherwise..."

"I understand, I understand." Tao Hua raised her hands and said, "I don't think about anything anymore."

But since he said that, it really proved one thing.

The enthronement ceremony began, and the wives lined up neatly in the lower left corner of the stairs. Jiang Taohua stood at the front. After watching a series of etiquette, Shen Zaiye picked up the emperor's dragon crown and slowly put it on Mu Wuxia's head. on the head.

Although it was far away, she could see his expression clearly.There is gratification and joy in it, and more is the satisfaction of paying a lot and finally getting rewarded.

Why is Shen Zaye so loyal to this 16-year-old kid?Why insist on helping him to the throne?

She didn't understand something before, but now she can finally figure it out.

It is a custom in the Wu Kingdom that men will wear a hundred spring flowers on their bodies to pray for blessings in spring. Mu Wuxia has worn them before, and Shen Zaiye has also worn them.

It's not a coincidence, Shen Zaiye is from the state of Wu.

And Mu Wuxia...

He raised his eyes to see the glittering golden dragon robe on the young man's body, and the contemptuous expression on his face when he turned around.Peach Blossom smiled.

How could it be possible for a proton who has been detained for more than ten years to have such a magnanimity and confidence?What Mu Wuxia has learned and mastered are things that ordinary people have nowhere to learn.Besides, the imperial sister he was talking about was not the princess of Great Wei at all.

In other words, he is probably the prince of Wu.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—" the ministers shouted, and Jiang Taohua also bowed down, feeling a little trembling in her heart.
