Everyone was stunned.
After hearing Li Er's question, he couldn't help but look around. In the end, he really didn't find any trace of Crown Prince Li Qiu!
As a result, many of the ministers were instantly excited.
Especially Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, and the other ministers who had already decided to support a certain prince, they were so excited that they almost laughed out loud!
What day is it today?
That was the day when the new emperor ascended the throne to worship the heavens and inform the heavens and the earth! Li Er valued it very much. Everyone knew this!
But you, Li Qiu, as the Crown Prince, are actually absent from such an important occasion?
Of course, Li Qiu might be late, but so what? Even if he was just late, Li Er would definitely be very dissatisfied in such an occasion!
Li Er's dissatisfaction was a great thing for them!
"Ahem." Zhangsun Wuji's eyelids flashed. He immediately took a step forward and whispered,"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived. We can't wait any longer.”
"Your Highness the Crown Prince might have been delayed by some matters and is unable to come. Why don't Your Majesty worship the heavens first, and this old minister will immediately send someone to look for him?”
"This unfilial son!"
Li Er stomped his feet heavily. He was obviously very dissatisfied, but considering that the auspicious time had arrived, this matter of worshipping the heavens could not be delayed. He was about to light incense…
"Father!"
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian suddenly jumped out and said anxiously,""Father, big brother definitely didn't intentionally miss the ceremony…"
Seeing that Li Chengqian had also jumped out to speak, Zhangsun Wuji and the other officials could not help but nod their heads secretly.
Everyone knew that the nine great princes all coveted the position of Crown Prince. Now, Li Chengqian jumping out to speak was definitely going to be disadvantageous to Li Qiu!
At this juncture, no matter which of the nine great princes jumped out to speak, it would be a good thing for them. After all, if they wanted the prince they valued to ascend the throne, they would have to let Li Qiu abdicate first, right?
Although those ministers who didn't support Li Chengqian would feel a little regretful…After all, it would be even more perfect if the prince they supported jumped out!
But…
No one expected Li Chengqian to continue,""In your son's opinion, big brother might have fallen ill, that's why he couldn't come in time.”
"Imperial Father, please don't be angry. First, complete the Heaven Worship Ceremony. Then, I will go and visit so that I can tell Imperial Father the ins and outs.”
Zhangsun Wuji and the rest of the ministers 'smiles froze."“(⊙o⊙)？？？？”
Did I hear wrongly? Or did you take the wrong script?
Shouldn't you be adding insult to injury? On the surface, it's for Li Qiu's good, but in reality, you're just stabbing him with your words, right?
Why is it that after listening to what you said, it's all for Li Qiu's sake? I can't hear any intention of you targeting him at all?
This wasn't right!
The ministers were all stunned…
Only Zhangsun Wuji, who was stunned, suddenly felt relieved."Chengqian has finally grown up!”
"If we add insult to injury at this time, I'm afraid that His Majesty will not be able to wash his hands. But…if the Emperor agreed, wouldn't Chengqian be able to say anything in the future?”
"At that time, even if he said that Li Qiu was visiting a brothel and drinking wine, there would be no problem at all!”
"Compared to stabbing someone in the face, this is undoubtedly much more brilliant…"
……
Li Er didn't know what the ministers were thinking. When he heard Li Chengqian's words, he looked at the other princes and saw that they were nodding their heads. He couldn't help but roll his eyes…
Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
He clearly wanted to absolve Li Qiu and protect his position as Crown Prince, right?
But…why didn't you think about it? Although this matter angered me, why would I strip him of his position as Crown Prince?
He was really thinking too much!
Li Er became more and more unhappy, but he still replied,"Then that's it. After the sacrifice, you go and see Li Qiu. Is he sick and bedridden?”
Then, he waved his hand and said,"Ran…"
" What's that?"
"Look!"
"Whoosh…"
Li Er was about to say that he was going to burn incense and start the worship ceremony when he suddenly realized that the people in the distance were in an uproar, instantly breaking the solemn atmosphere.
"How dare you!"
Zhangsun Wuji frowned and snorted coldly." How dare you disrupt the ritual of worshipping the heavens. These unruly people, Your Majesty, please let this old minister…"
"No need!"
Li Er slowly shook his head. However, his expression gradually turned cold as he looked at the chaotic place."I want to see what it is that shocked them so much!”
In fact, at this moment, not only Li Er, but everyone on the high platform also looked over.
Even the commoners below the platform were watching.
It was human nature to watch the show, no matter what era it was.
The sudden disturbance and clamor naturally attracted everyone's attention…
Soon after, Li Er and the others saw the source of the disturbance due to their good vision…
That was…Li Qiu!
At this moment, Li Qiu was standing on a tall, exquisite, and extraordinary carriage that was gradually approaching the high platform.
Wherever he passed, all the people were shocked and scattered to make way for him…
This scene instantly made Li Er's face turn black.
What the hell was this?
As the emperor, I came to worship the heavens step by step from the palace. I didn't even sit in the luxurious royal carriage to show my sincerity.
But you, you f * cker, actually came in such an impressive open-top carriage and attracted everyone's attention the moment you appeared…
Do you think that you are better than me?
"This unfilial son!"
Li Er couldn't take it anymore and said angrily,""Are you going to cross the line?"
The so-called overstepping the rules naturally meant going beyond the rules.
Or rather, it was a violation of etiquette!
In this era, no matter what one did, there were strict rules, which was etiquette.
Wearing clothes had its benefits. Eating, sleeping, even talking and addressing each other had their corresponding etiquette.
And for people of different social classes, etiquette was different.
For example, taking a carriage, a sedan chair…
How could a person in a minister's sedan chair or carriage be more impressive than an emperor? If you do this, then congratulations. Once the emperor finds out, you will lose your head!
Because this was Yueju!
This was a violation of etiquette!
But now?
Li Er, the emperor, had come on foot to worship the heavens, but Li Qiu had come in a carriage!
So be it if it was a carriage. It was extremely luxurious. At a glance, one could tell that it was a very high-end 'open-top horse-drawn carriage' that was many times better than the emperor's exclusive horse-drawn carriage. If this wasn't going overboard, what was it?
Where would I put my face?
"Does this unfilial son still have any manners in his eyes?”
Li Er's voice became even colder, and his eyes burned with anger. Clearly, he could not hold it in any longer!
At this moment, Li Er even had the thought of taking Li Qiu, the Crown Prince, down!
Trying to abdicate? So what if I grant you your wish?
