A moment later, the prince Liu Ju and Changsun Liu Jin, who were wearing robe and Jiuliu, were guided to the hall by Taichang's ritual officer.

"My son is grateful to the father and the emperor's holy affairs!"

"Sun Chenjinjin, bow his head and bow again, and ask the emperor's grandfather for his care..."

"No gift!" The emperor waved his hand softly, then turned to Zhang Anshi beside him and ordered: "Shangshu Ling, give the crown prince and eldest grandson a seat!"

"No!" Zhang Anshi received the order.

Then he walked down the steps himself, took the guards, and served as the prince and the eldest grandson Liu Jin, and prepared a seat on the side below the imperial stairs.

Then arrange the two of them and sit in their respective positions.

As the prince, Liu Ju Naturally took the best position.

Just on the left side below the imperial stairs, this position can be clearly heard from the ministers in the hall, and can also hear or even see the words and expressions of the emperor on the imperial stairs.

He has been sitting here for almost twenty years.

Since the crown was added, he has been sitting here, attending government affairs and studying government affairs.

As the eldest grandson, Liu Jin was arranged to sit at Liu Ju's lower head, and the two were about five steps apart.

It can be seen that this is a carefully designed and prepared arrangement.

Zhang Yue stood on the imperial steps, condescending, and of course his vision was very broad.

So, he could clearly see the expressions of the father and son Liu Ju and Liu Jin.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ju didn't seem to be too embarrassed.

Even, his face was very calm.

It seems that I have predicted this result.

On the contrary, Liu Jin was sitting in the seat, feeling very uneasy and frightened.

This is a very critical detail!

If Liu Jin's expression did not have the performance, then this means that it is very likely that he had been kept in the dark until today.

Maybe even before going to court, I might think it was just a formality.

On the contrary, it was Prince Liu Ju...

Judging from Zhang Yue’s understanding of this crown prince, although he is usually gentle and has no temper, he does not look like a person who does not know how to protect and defend his own interests.

In other words...

Zhang Yue lowered his head slightly and thought of a terrible result: "It is very likely that Liu Ju had known this before... and Liu Ju was very likely to have accepted this result..."

Although this speculation is a bit exaggerated.

but……

For some reason, Zhang Yue's intuition told him that this might be a fact!

It's just a pity that this matter cannot be proven.

Neither the emperor nor the prince Liu Ju will explain this matter to the public.

This matter will only be ruined by them.

Zhang Yue didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The other ministers bowed their heads and said nothing.

In this matter, if Zi did not speak out today, everyone would wisely choose to be a mute.

So, for a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fortunately, Shang Qiucheng, the Taichang Qing, who was responsible for the court meeting procedures, stood up in time and bowed: "Now the crown prince, the eldest grandson, is in the court. I think all the ministers should be treated to him!"

The emperor hesitated for only half a second, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

So, Shangqiu established the carriage and faced Liu Ju and Liu Jin, and said, "My minister, Taichang, Qiu Cheng, please ask the family, your highness..."

When the others saw each other, they looked at each other, and had to bite the bullet and follow Shang Qiucheng and said, "I would like to ask my family, your highness..."

Even the warriors holding the axe on the imperial stairs also bowed with weapons and said, "I would like to ask my family, your highness, please..."

Liu Ju quickly stood up and said, "Gou Gong'an, please don't give me a gift..."

Liu Jin was still not very adapted to the environment and atmosphere, and he responded a little slower, but he quickly got up and bowed: "Gu'an, please don't give me a gift..."

At this point, everyone in the hall already knew about it.

Although the emperor has not issued a formal edict to clearly enthrone the grandson.

However, Changsun's status is so strong that it cannot be stronger.

Because, just now, all the civil and military officials in the court, including the generals, marquises and ministers, had already saluted His Highness Changsun.

At the grand court meeting, the ministers worshiped the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson returned the ceremony.

This is equivalent to completing the most important procedural allegiance ceremony!

The Xia peoples have made great promises since ancient times!

The Han people attach more importance to commitments and contracts.

The idiom "One promise of a thousand gold" was born in the Han Dynasty.

In this world, even the city-farers often appear, giving their all for a promise.

Even among merchants who are generally despised and discriminated against, there have been merchants who are willing to stay in the same place for a promise.

At the level of scholars, officials, ministers and nobles, loyalty became the most important one of their values.

Now, the ministers bowed their heads and worshiped the eldest grandson in the grand court.

In fact, it is an alternative allegiance.

Liu Jin's return gift is equivalent to the establishment of this contract between the monarch and the minister.

It means that the ministers here swear allegiance to their eldest grandson!

This relationship between the king and the subject has been initially established.

Unless there is a special change, such as when today, Zi deposed Liu Jin and declared him a sinner.

Otherwise, this relationship cannot be reversed.

Everyone has the responsibility and obligation to support the eldest grandson, defend and be loyal to the eldest grandson.

Just as they support the emperor, defend and loyal to the emperor.

Only Liu Jin was still confused. He didn't know that after this moment, he had become the second heir to the empire and gained collective allegiance from the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, Marquis and Ministers, Officials of the Inner Dynasties, and the Two Thousand Stones.

Most of the empires have recognized his status as a grandson.

However, Liu Ju's expression on his face suddenly relaxed, as if he had put down a heavy burden.

From Zhang Yue's perspective, the crown prince first let out a breath, then his whole expression became relaxed, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The court officials in the crown prince's lineage were generally as if they had lost their parents and were very upset.

There was no way. When the prince was in power, the grandson was appointed.

This is not good news for them anyway.

Because this means things will change.

The country will have a second option.

This is a nightmare for those who fantasize about the future and make a lot of money after Liu Ji ascended the throne!

"You guys, please sit down..." The emperor's voice sounded at the right time. He whispered to Zhang Anshi: "Shangshu Ling, please follow the procedures and start the content of today's grand court discussion!"

After thinking about it, he added, saying, "Cut two copies of the content of today's discussion and send it to the prince and eldest grandson!"

Since the prince and the eldest grandson were allowed to enter the palace to listen to the matter at the same time, of course, they should be given some reference materials so that they can understand and master the affairs of the country.

"No!" Zhang Anshigong bowed, and then ordered to his left and right: "Go and send one copy of the contents of today's court meetings to your family and His Highness Changsun!"

"No!" The Shangshulang immediately took the order and left.

Most of the ministers in the hall could not hear clearly this part of the conversation.

But Zhang Yue was standing nearby, so he could hear it clearly.

"It seems that the weather has changed..." Zhang Yue thought to himself.

Combined with the expressions of Liu Ju and Liu Jin, as well as various other details.
Chapter completed!
