Chapter 119 Prince
Chapter 119 Prince
The enthronement of the prince as king could be said to be a major event of the previous dynasty, so the imperial edict was read directly in the Zhaode Hall.
On the day the imperial edict was issued, all the princes wore a full set of prince uniforms and waited in the main hall of Zhaode Hall.
This was also the first time for the other princes to attend court except Xuanyuan Xingyao and Xuanyuan Leng. Sometimes it was quite sad to think about it.
Xuanyuan Qing originally had some "ambitions", and when he saw Xuanyuan Hongtai wearing imperial clothes and sitting majestically on the high throne in the hall.
Even Xuanyuan Leng was wearing the prince's robes that suited his status, looking down at him. Xuanyuan Qing's desire for power and the throne reached its peak in an instant.
After Xuanyuan Qing knew that Xuanyuan Hongtai was going to be crowned king, he wondered in his heart what position the other party would give him.
Xuanyuan Qing thought that although he was not the eldest son, he was the second prince, and his biological mother was a royal concubine before. Moreover, both his biological mother and adoptive mother's families were extremely noble, and they were all qualified as the crown prince.
At least he would be given the title of a prince, but he didn't expect that after the imperial edict was announced, he only got the position of a county prince, while Xuanyuan Xingyao was promoted from a county prince to a prince.
Xuanyuan Qing really wanted to cry out that it was unfair. Why was he, the second prince, only given the title of a county prince, while Xuanyuan Xingyao got the title of a prince?
Do they brothers have to be inferior to the Xuanyuan Leng brothers?
If Xuanyuan Qing hadn't still had some rationality, he would have wanted to make a scene on the spot.
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince hasn't accomplished anything significant. Isn't it unfair to the other princes to suddenly be promoted to a prince?"
Xuanyuan Qing originally wanted to wink at the ministers of his own lineage, but he didn't expect that before he could make a move, a stupid censor stood up first.
Before, Xuanyuan Qing had always disliked these nerds who had low cultivation and only knew how to study, but now he suddenly felt that they were quite cute.
Xuanyuan Hongtai was in a good mood at first because his adult sons had obtained titles and were about to leave the palace to set up their own homes.
As a result, someone came to make trouble for him at this time. Xuanyuan Hongtai even suspected at first whether the other party was Xuanyuan Qing's man.
But there were people in the court standing behind Xuanyuan Qing, and Xuanyuan Hongtai knew it in his mind, so he carefully looked at the appearance of the people who stood out.
Well, it’s confirmed, it’s not anyone’s.
This made Xuanyuan Hongtai feel a little better, but his expression still looked a little grim.
"Qin Yushi, do I need to remind you how Yao'er got his title of a county prince? My son earned the title of a county prince with his own ability. Do I have to exclude him when I confer titles on my sons?"
Although Xuanyuan Hongtai's tone was very calm, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was angry.
Qin Yushi was able to sit in the position he has today despite being a scholar with little accomplishment. Naturally, he is not a person without vision.
He stood up just now because he really felt that Xuanyuan Xingyao's merits were not enough for him to become a prince.
But now the emperor has said that Xuanyuan Xingyao obtained the title of prince through military merit.
This time, the princes were being conferred titles. As a father, he bestowed titles on many of his sons, and he didn't want him to be left behind just because Xuanyuan Xingyao already had a title, so why not promote him to the position of prince?
Of course he can. After all, the entire Dragon Shadow Empire belongs to Xuanyuan Hongtai. No matter what he does, no one can say anything.
Moreover, what Xuanyuan Hongtai said was well-reasoned and even if Qin Yushi wanted to refute it, he couldn't find any points to refute.
When Xuanyuan Hongtai saw that Qin Yushi had retreated obediently, his originally tense expression finally improved.
Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi, seeing that Qin Yushi was easily persuaded by Xuanyuan Hongtai, secretly cursed him as a waste in their hearts.
But Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi didn't want to cause any trouble at this time and lose the title they had worked so hard to obtain, so they could only bear it for the time being.
Later, when they obtain the supreme throne, they will slowly settle accounts.
Although the imperial edict was only read today, Xuanyuan Hongtai had already asked people to prepare everything that needed to be prepared.
Therefore, after the court session ended, when Xuanyuan Qing and others returned to their own bedrooms, the court robes, daily clothes and even additional palace maids that matched their status were already waiting in the bedrooms.
In this grand ennoblement, apart from Xuanyuan Xingyao, Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Zhang had the highest titles and were awarded the title of Prince.
As for the fourth prince Xuanyuan Chao, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Po, and the sixth prince Xuanyuan Xi, they all only got the title of Beile.
Xuanyuan Chao and Xuanyuan Po had been mentally prepared for this, because they had not been outstanding in any aspect since childhood.
Secondly, his mother’s family was also very ordinary, and Xuanyuan Hongtai’s ability to give them the title of Beile was already a manifestation of his love for them, so both of them were very satisfied.
But the Sixth Prince Xuanyuan Xi was not like that. He had always looked down on the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince.
He originally thought that even if it wasn't for Concubine Yun's sake, Xuanyuan Hongtai would still give him the title of a prince for the sake of the Wu and Yun families.
Unexpectedly, he was the same as the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince. How could Xuanyuan Xi accept this?
Xuanyuan Xi originally wanted to help Xuanyuan Qing wholeheartedly, but the title bestowed upon him today suddenly gave Xuanyuan Xi a surge of ambition.
If he were the one sitting on the throne, wouldn't he be inferior to anyone else?
Although Xuanyuan Xi quickly dismissed this idea, some things still left a mark in his heart.
After the princes obtained the title, they could officially enter the court and hold their own official positions in the court.
So, except for Xuanyuan Xingyao who was only assigned to the Ministry of War, the others were assigned to work in the six ministries.
As for whether the official positions they obtained were what they wanted, only they themselves knew.
In addition to taking up the job, there is also the matter of setting up a government office.
According to palace rules, the princes could not stay in the palace for a long time after entering the court, so they had to manage the palace in the shortest time possible.
Now, the disadvantage of several princes entering the court together became apparent, and six mansions had to be prepared at once.
There is one prince's palace, two county prince's palaces, and three beile's palaces. The officials of the Ministry of Works can be said to be busy all the time.
In the end they had no choice but to arrange it according to the size of the title and the age of the prince, otherwise the mansion would not be available until next year.
If we go by title, then the first place to be arranged would naturally be the Prince's Palace of Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Then came the Prince's Mansion of Xuanyuan Xi and Xuanyuan Zhang, and finally it was divided according to age.
In this way, Xuanyuan Xi was the last one, which deepened Xuanyuan Xi's dissatisfaction.
Xuanyuan Xingyao selfishly wanted to be closer to Nangong Jing, so he asked someone to find a suitable house near the Duke of Wuling's Mansion.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was also lucky. There was actually a mansion near the Duke's Mansion that was suitable for his status. He could move in after a little renovation.
This mansion is actually a prince's mansion. It is said to have belonged to a great-uncle of Xuanyuan Hongtai. However, the great-uncle devoted himself to cultivation and left no descendants.
Later, while he was training outside, he unfortunately died, and the prince's palace was sealed.
Now it is a good deal for Xuanyuan Xingyao, because the specifications of the mansion do not need to be changed, and only some dilapidated areas need to be slightly renovated, so the speed is still quite fast.
In less than half a month, the Prince's Palace was handed over to Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was too impatient to care about this. After confirming the mansion, he handed over everything to Eunuch Li. Naturally, Eunuch Li was also responsible for the acceptance.
As for him, he was either going out of the palace to date Nangong Jing, or practicing with Bing Linxuan in the Worship Hall.
Bing Linxuan and Han Yan also knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing wanted to go out alone to gain experience.
Neither of them objected to this, and some even strongly supported it.
Xuanyuan Xingyao wanted to subdue a flying magical beast as a mount and needed Bing Linxuan's help, so Bing Linxuan agreed without hesitation.
Bing Linxuan was even a little annoyed that he had not thought of it earlier.
The four disciples that Bing Linxuan accepted earlier also had mounts, some flying and some running on the ground.
However, except for Zhang Shumo and Mo Jiutian's mounts, which were subdued with the help of Bing Linxuan.
The other two were captured with the help of Zhang Shumo and Mo Jiutian.
It’s not that Bing Linxuan is partial, but he was on the verge of a breakthrough at that time and had to concentrate on seclusion, so he could only leave the task of catching the mount to his eldest and second disciples.
Also, because it has been too long since I helped my apprentice to tame a mount, I forgot that my little apprentice doesn’t have a mount yet.
This is the advantage of being a summoner. Not to mention that Nangong Jing has a beast with flying attributes, even if there is no Flame Cloud Leopard to restore its original form, it is more than enough to be Nangong Jing's mount.
Therefore, when Bing Linxuan was thinking about how to help Xuanyuan Xingyao subdue the Ice Phoenix Demon Luan, Han Yan was watching the show leisurely on the side.
"Master, Second Brother is here."
Xuanyuan Xingyao was originally sparring with Nangong Jing, but when he saw Mo Jiutian appear, he immediately put away Han Xing.
He first bowed to Mo Jiutian as an equal, then went into the house and said something to Bing Linxuan.
"Jiutian, you're here. You just came back, right? Why don't you go back to your house to see your wife and children first? If your children don't recognize you, what will you do?"
Bing Linxuan said he was disgusted, but his eyes were very gentle when he looked at Mo Jiutian.
How could a master not like an apprentice who only has you in his heart and eyes, and even his family members have to look up to him?
"Master, since you are here, I naturally have to come and pay my respects to you first."
Mo Jiutian didn't think there was anything wrong with coming to see Bing Linxuan first instead of his wife and children after returning to the imperial capital. In his heart, his master was the most important.
"Come sit down. Why don't you see Shumo? Didn't he go out with you?"
If Bing Linxuan remembered correctly, the last time he met his disciples, Mo Jiutian and Zhang Shumo said that they wanted to go on an adventure to a dangerous place together.
Why is Mo Jiutian the only one back now? Did something happen to Zhang Shumo?
Thinking of this, Bing Linxuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of anxiety on his face.
Seeing that Bing Linxuan had misunderstood, Mo Jiutian hurriedly explained.
"Master, don't worry. Big Brother is fine. He just fell in love with someone and has been chasing after her recently, so he's not with me."
Mo Jiutian is a martial arts fanatic. He really doesn't understand why Zhang Shumo can keep chasing after someone even though the other person has already rejected him.
