Chapter 316 Ascension to the Throne
In response to this, Shen Hechuan, who had always been kind to them, got angry for the first time.
And it was an unprecedented rage.
Chen Hechuan threw the letter in his hand away.
"What? Are you, my dear ministers, trying to teach me how to do things?"
"How about I get up and let you take this position?"
After these words were spoken, all the officials were trembling with fear and dared not say anything more.
However, there are always a few officials who are stubborn.
He knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
“I know that Your Highness dotes on this woman, but as the crown prince, Your Highness should prioritize success and must not indulge in women.
We must not allow women to influence or participate in government affairs, and we must not violate the ancestral etiquette and laws because of this woman. Otherwise, it will bring shame to our great city.
Shen Hechuan sneered when he heard this, and almost laughed out of anger.
"What a joke."
Shen Hechuan stood up directly.
"Since when did it become your turn to point fingers at my family affairs?"
Shen Hechuan stood up and looked at the minister kneeling on the ground.
"Someone, drag him away."
But the minister continued to talk, and every word he said was for the sake of Dacheng's country.
Shen Hechuan added another sentence.
"In that case, my dear minister, as an official, you must also abide by the rules of being an official."
As he spoke, he ordered his men to examine him thoroughly from beginning to end.
He also specially selected four beautiful women and gave them to him.
I heard that the next day after the four beauties were sent back, there was chaos in his family.
Not only that, Shen Hechuan also found out a lot of things from him, all of which were evidence of his mistakes.
But two days later, the official knelt on the ground, admitted his mistake to Shen Hechuan, and begged for Shen Hechuan's forgiveness.
From then on, no one dared to say a word about Gu Jingchun.
It was also this time that made all the officials realize that their prince was not without temper.
It also made all the officials understand that Gu Jingchun was the crown prince's favorite person and must not be provoked.
A month later.
Under the urging of all officials, Shen Hechuan finally ascended the throne as emperor.
The reason why she had not ascended the throne before was because before ascending the throne, Shen Hechuan originally wanted to invite Gu Jingchun to come along and hold the ceremony of crowning the queen at the same time.
However, all the officials said they were unwilling to do anything.
Gu Jingchun was unwilling too.
After all, Chen Hechuan is in mourning period, and it is double mourning period.
Gu Jingchun would never let Chen Hechuan bear such a bad reputation for her.
Therefore, Gu Jingchun tried his best to persuade Shen Hechuan, and finally persuaded him to give up the idea.
Only then did Gu Jingchun breathe a sigh of relief.
On August 16, the 21st year of Rongcheng, Shen Hechuan officially ascended the throne as emperor.
He changed the country's name to Ancheng and issued a general amnesty.
The first thing Shen Hechuan did after ascending the throne was to issue an order for Gu Jingchun and Gu Jinxi to live in Ning'an Palace.
This news immediately aroused opposition from the ministers.
However, Shen Hechuan refused to listen. No matter what they said, Shen Hechuan just wouldn't listen. If they got impatient, he would point out some of the ministers' mistakes and either warn them or replace them directly.
After the last confrontation, all the officials understood Shen Hechuan's character. Therefore, after confirming that Shen Hechuan was determined, they no longer interfered and only discussed in private.
They planned to wait until Shen Hechuan's mourning period was over, and then send a few more beauties into the palace. By then, Shen Hechuan would naturally not regard Gu Jingchun as the most important thing in his heart, and would not insist on making her the queen.
After Shen Hechuan ascended the throne, people became busy.
When the new dynasty was first established, all kinds of things were waiting for Chen Hechuan. When he was busy, Gu Jingchun would not be seen for a long time.
Therefore, when Gu Jingchun was free, he would come with Gu Jinxi to accompany the empress dowager.
Since the Empress and Emperor Rongcheng passed away, the Empress Dowager's health has been deteriorating.
After all, he is old, and how can he accept the fact that his loved ones have passed away? He has been sick for several times in a row and only recovered recently.
It was also thanks to Gu Jingchun that Gu Jinxi came to accompany her from time to time that the Queen Mother was able to hold on.
Gu Jingchun looked at the empress dowager's rapidly aging face and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
The successive deaths of his parents have already dealt a heavy blow to Shen Hechuan. If something happens to the Queen Mother again, Shen Hechuan will have a mental breakdown.
Therefore, Gu Jingchun came to take care of the empress dowager's emotions from time to time.
The Queen Mother naturally discovered Gu Jingchun's feelings.
Holding her hand, I was so moved.
"These days, thanks to you for not despising me and always accompanying me, an old woman, I am sorry that I cannot give you the position you deserve."
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
"I'm not wronged. Being able to accompany the Queen Mother is also a blessing for this subject."
The Queen Mother liked Gu Jingchun's personality and felt relieved after hearing this.
As he was speaking, Princess Rongyang walked in.
This was the first time Gu Jingchun saw Princess Rongyang since Jiang Xianhao was buried.
She seemed to be thinner and taller than before, and her whole body seemed more calm, giving Gu Jingchun the feeling that she had grown up overnight.
This carefree little princess lost her father and mother in a short period of time. She grew up quickly in grief.
When she saw Gu Jingchun, she immediately bowed to him.
Although she has not yet married Chen Hechuan, in Princess Rongyang's eyes, Gu Jingchun is already her sister-in-law.
It is only right to greet your sister-in-law.
She was in a good mood today, and after paying her respects, she sat down and talked with the Queen Mother.
Therefore, Luo Ziqian was also mentioned.
Luo Ziqian has been very busy since that day, and Princess Rongyang hasn't seen him for a long time, so she can't help but feel some resentment in her heart.
"I don't know what he's busy with all day. I haven't seen him for a long time."
"I heard that news just came today that the King of Da Qi is coming in person to celebrate the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne."
Gu Jingchun was about to pick up the teacup to drink tea, but when he heard the news, he lost his grip on the cup and it fell to the ground.
A light "pa-" sound made Princess Rongyang and the Queen Mother immediately turn their heads to look at Gu Jingchun.
But Gu Jingchun didn't care about anything else and immediately asked, "What did you just say?"
"Who's coming?"
Princess Rongyang blinked innocently.
"Yes... he is the monarch of Da Qi."
"I just heard the news when I went to deliver something to my brother, and I don't know the specific situation now."
Of course, Princess Rongyang also wanted to see Luo Ziqian more often, so she deliberately went to deliver things to Chen Hechuan.
When Gu Jingchun heard the news, he immediately took a breath and stood up without caring about anything else.
After asking the Queen Mother and Princess Rongyang to take care of Gu Jinxi, he hurried to Wanhe Hall.
She now has to ask Chen Hechuan whether Mo Junxing is really coming.
Thinking of Mo Junxing's crazy behavior, Gu Jingchun felt a chill all over his body.
