Chapter 241: Taking Advantage of the Situation
After saying that, the emperor looked at Huo Jinjian.
Seeing this, Huo Jin immediately stood up and raised his glass.
"You all know that Jin Jian was on his way back from victory when his old illness relapsed, preventing him from receiving his title. Now that he's fully recovered, I naturally want to hold the ceremony to confer him the title."
But the scale of this ceremony is no longer an ordinary enthronement ceremony.
Even when Li Yunheng was made the crown prince, he was only this glorious.
Civil and military officials were present, as were even his family members and relatives.
It's no wonder that some people look at Huo Jin with not only envy and jealousy, but also hatred.
Liang Moyuan looked at those people with unfriendly eyes calmly.
Most of them are Li Yunheng's old subordinates.
Of course, there are also people from the Third Prince.
They exchanged glances, and the hidden malice was indeed difficult to conceal.
Liang Moyuan narrowed her eyes slightly and became alert.
"Meishu." Liang Moyuan tilted her head and called in a low voice.
Mei Shu bent down, her movements were light and graceful, and as everyone's eyes were on Huo Jinjian and the emperor, no one noticed.
"Go find the princess and tell her a message for me."
"Today's enthronement ceremony is extremely important. I'm afraid someone will take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Please help me avoid disaster, Your Highness the Princess."
Mei Shu's eyes darkened, and he quietly hid among the palace maids behind him and disappeared.
Liang Moyuan's smile returned to her face.
"I will drink this cup to the fullest as a token of my debt and compensation to Jin Jian!"
The emperor raised his head and drank the nectar in one gulp.
Everyone present followed the emperor and drank up the wine in front of them.
The one who performed the enthronement ceremony for Huo Jin this time was the Right Prime Minister, Qi Zhixing.
On his face, which was full of traces of time, one could vaguely see some eyebrows and eyes similar to Qi Fengxian.
Qi Zhixing brought the documents, and the attendants behind him each held the Ba Xia Liu Yun Seal that belonged to the Crown Prince, the three-clawed dragon jade pendant that belonged to the Crown Prince, and the tiger talisman that belonged to the general, and presented them all to Huo Jinjian.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Huo Jinjian, the eldest son of the Huo family, is a valiant warrior who has expanded the country's territory with unparalleled wisdom and courage. I am deeply pleased, and therefore, I decree that Huo Cheng inherit the title of Marquis and confer the title of Prince Mingguang. I also decree that Huo Jinjian be the Grand General Protecting the Nation, grant him a general's residence, ten thousand taels of gold, and numerous treasures. I hope you will live up to the Emperor's orders and show your unwavering loyalty."
"I hereby order."
Huo Jin lifted his robe, straightened his back, and knelt on the ground: "Thank you for your grace."
There was dead silence at the banquet.
Everyone thought that the banquet was held today just to let Huo Jin see him become the prince, but they didn't expect that he would also be made a general.
I thought they would just give him the title of Major General or something like that, but I didn't expect Huo Jinjian to be given the title of General Guarding the Nation!
But Huo Jin saw that he was still so young.
It can be seen that the future is immeasurable!
Huo Jin took the imperial edict from Qi Zhixing's hand, looked at him intently, and said softly, "I appreciate the Prime Minister's kindness."
After saying that, Huo Jin stood up and didn't say another word to Qi Zhixing.
Parents love their children and plan for them in the long run.
Qi Zhixing took great pains to send Qi Fengxian to Huo Jinjian, and that was all he could do.
Even though he and Huo Jinjian had different political views, he also acknowledged Huo Jinjian's noble character.
Looking around the court, apart from Huo Jinjian, no one else would care about family background and only look at talent to support young people like Qi Fengxian.
Seeing Qi Zhixing's deep and complicated gaze, Huo Jin took the imperial edict and sat back in his seat.
"Husband, congratulations." Liang Moyuan picked up the wine glass, raised it towards him, and smiled brightly.
Seeing this, Huo Jin happily raised his glass, and the two cups touched lightly, making a tinkling sound.
The cup fell on the table, and Mei Shu quietly returned to Liang Moyuan's side: "Miss, someone poisoned the wine given for the enthronement."
Liang Moyuan's eyes darkened. Although there was a smile on his face, a chill had already risen in his eyes.
"Has the person who poisoned them been caught?"
Guilt flashed across Mei Shu's face, and she shook her head and said, "That person was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, and her internal energy and lightness skills were no less than mine. However, the Princess's people reminded us that this was a palace banquet and that we shouldn't make a big deal out of it, so I didn't pursue her closely."
It will be difficult to catch him again.
Liang Moyuan's heart sank and a cold light flashed in her eyes, but she was still calm and composed enough to ask Mei Shu softly.
"Do you know what kind of poison it is?"
"I don't know, but the princess's people said that this should be a strange poison from the Western Regions. The poisoned wine has been taken away, and I will inform the young lady when the time comes. Besides, poisons from the Western Regions will not take effect on the spot."
The person who poisoned the person is not so stupid as to use the kind of medicine that would cause the poison to take effect immediately.
If you anger the emperor, this palace banquet will become a cage from which you cannot escape.
Seeing the palace maid bringing a new wine jug, Liang Moyuan's eyes flashed and he had an idea.
It was the time when the musicians were dancing, Liang Moyuan approached Huo Jinjian and told him what had happened.
The two looked at each other, and Huo Jin immediately understood what Liang Moyuan meant.
"Take advantage of their own strategy?"
