After coming out of Kunde Palace, it was already afternoon and evening. Li Xin hesitated for a moment and returned to Weiyang Palace.

It is more suitable for him to be in the palace. If he is out of the matter, he will be passive in everything in the future, and he has very important things to do.

When they arrived at Weiyang Palace, it was completely dark, and the prime ministers were still indifferent and had never left the Weiyang Palace. His Royal Highness knelt in front of the emperor's spirit, still burning paper money.

Li Xin walked to the prince, knelt on the cushion opposite the prince, and whispered: "Have you knelt here for a day and a night?"

According to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, the emperor died. As a prince, he had to keep a spirit in front of the spirit for three days. That is to say, the prince had to kneel here for three days and then ascend the throne in front of the emperor.

Although Emperor Taikang was sometimes a little mean, he treated his son very well. Therefore, when the emperor died, the prince was also very sad. At this time, his eyes were swollen. Hearing this, he looked up at Li Xin and lowered his head and said, "Teacher, this is what the disciple should do."

Li Xin reached out and patted his shoulder.

"You should kneel here, but you can't kneel here for three days? You have to go to have a meal."

As he said that, Li Xin looked at Xiao Zheng who was serving nearby and asked, "Eunuch Xiao, are you ready for food?"

"some."

Xiao Zheng immediately lowered his head: "In the side hall, rice porridge, broth, etc. have been prepared to warm up the body."

Li Xin turned his head and glanced at the emperor's spiritual position, and then said in a deep voice: "Then I will take His Royal Highness to eat something and come back. It shouldn't have violated the rules?"

In fact, no one can truly achieve this rule of kneeling for three days. After the Renchen Palace changed ten years ago, Emperor Taikang at that time had to kneel for three days according to the rules, but he just knelt in front of others. As long as there were no foreign ministers in the palace, he would find a place to rest.

Only His Royal Highness was so honest that he knelt down for a day and a night.

As the eunuch of the inner court, Xiao Zheng naturally knew this, so he quickly said, "Go back to the marquis, you are in accordance with the rules."

Li Xin nodded, stood up from the cushion, then walked to the prince and stretched out his hand.

The prince's palace was hesitant.

He looked around and then saw the queen not far away, looking at him with a nervous look on his face.

His Royal Highness gritted his teeth, reached out to hold Li Xin's hand that was reaching out, and barely stood up.

The Empress, who had been watching the situation on the prince, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

The prince had been kneeling for so long, and his legs had already become numb. As soon as he stood up, he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Li Xin's arm was very strong, so he helped him up, and then helped the prince and walked towards the side hall.

So, the current crown prince Taibao, general of the Imperial Army Right Camp, and Minister of War Li Changan, supported His Highness the Crown Prince in a noble manner, and passed the important officials in the imperial palace in the Weiyang Palace, and slowly walked towards the side hall.

At this time, the Crown Prince, because he was thin and had been kneeling for a long time, his face turned pale and looked very weak.

Although Li Xin, wearing a first-class court robes, was wearing white robes, but his sleeves were fluttering and his head was wearing a jade crown. His every move was as demeanor.

This scene was seen by civil and military officials.

As a result, some of the secret thoughts of many people were shattered.

Originally, because the prince's mother was born into a small family, although he was the eldest son, there was still a lot of room for operation. For example, if the prince suddenly died of illness one or two years after he ascended the throne, or if the prince was not virtuous enough, he could also discuss the new king. However, the Marquis of Jing'an is now clearly on the side of the prince, so there is actually no suspense in this round of imperial power.

After all, everyone in the capital's senior management knew that behind Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, was not only a Marquis of Jing'an, but also a Ye family.

Some people who have reached the top level of power, such as the prime ministers at Shangshutai, even know about the affairs in the southwest, which has nothing to do with this Marquis of Jing'an.

Such a tycoon was still a tycoon who held half of the imperial guards in the capital and openly stood up for His Royal Highness. In addition, His Royal Highness was the eldest son of the Emperor Daxing and had a will, so it was a foregone conclusion that the prince ascended the throne.

Unless someone dares to jump out and face Li Xin head-on, and the Ye family, challenge the will of Emperor Daxing.

Originally, whether the weak-powered prince can successfully hold the throne is still a question that needs to be waited for, but now Li Xin only stretched out his hand and this position has been firmly settled.

As for how he will do in the future, it is not something he can know now.

Li Xin helped His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and walked out of the Emperor's Bedroom. Under Xiao Zheng's leadership, he walked to the warm pavilion of Weiyang Palace. Here, the palace servants had already prepared a table of food and were waiting for them.

His Highness's legs were actually cured after walking out of Weiyang Palace. He was hungry. After entering the warm-up hall, he first sat down next to the low table, picked up a bowl of rice porridge, lowered his head and ate it a bite. Then the more he ate, the more he felt that the rice porridge had a little salty taste.

When he raised his head and looked at Li Xin sitting opposite him, he was already in tears.

"Teacher, what's going on with Father... do you know?"

In the past few years since Emperor Taikang was sick, he has always been hiding his physical condition. Not only did the foreign ministers such as Li Xin not know, but even relatives like the Empress Dowager and Prince were kept in the dark by him.

Li Xin shook his head slowly: "I don't know either."

His Royal Highness's face was covered with tears.

"I went to see my father last month, and he was still fine..."

Li Xin's face was calm.

"That's just that His Majesty wants you to see him well."

A month ago, Emperor Taikang's condition had reached a very serious point, and it was impossible for the prince to meet the "good" emperor at that time.

The prince wiped his tears in his mourning clothes and looked up at Li Xin, his voice a little frightened.

"Teacher, what should I do next..."

"I don't know anything yet, I can't be an emperor..."

Li Xin glanced at the prince deeply.

"No one is born to be an emperor, and your highness should learn slowly."

He said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, when he ascended the throne at the age of 23, he would not be an emperor, so he spent four or five hours a day at the Shangshu Desk and his students."

"After a long time, I will do it naturally."

His Royal Highness put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and said with a shrunk: "Then teacher, what should I do now?"

"After the meal, change into thicker clothes and go to Weiyang Palace to continue kneeling."

Li Xin also finished drinking a bowl of rice porridge. He put the rice porridge on the low table and looked at the young man in front of him.

"Kneel for another two days, Your Highness will officially ascend the throne and become the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty."

The prince's palace was frightened.

"Then...what after I became the emperor?"

"Of course I'm waiting."

Marquis Jing'an didn't eat much for a day, so he asked the palace servant to serve a bowl of porridge and said slowly: "Your Highness is now thirteen. In a few days, he will be fourteen years old. When you are two to sixteen years old, you can take charge of the rule."

"In the past two years, Your Highness can learn how to be an emperor in the Shangshu Desk. Anyway, what you do is basically the same."

There are two auxiliary ministers at the Shangshutai who will act on behalf of the king for a period of time in the future. Therefore, what they do is theoretically what the emperor should do.

Speaking of this, Li Xin laughed at himself.

"Of course, Your Highness can also choose to be a foolish monarch, lock himself in the Weiyang Palace, do whatever you like. Anyway, if you become the emperor, no one can restrain you."

Marquis Jing'an got up and patted His Highness the Prince on the shoulder.

"I have to say that Your Highness is lucky."

"The Emperor of the Jin Dynasty can be regarded as a wise ruler for three consecutive generations. They have left a very solid family background for His Highness."
