Chapter 1707 Confessing the King
This New Year's Eve palace banquet was the first time for the three children to appear in front of the courtiers.
Everyone looked at Qian'er and the child, who were beautiful little people with the same appearance, and were all amazed and couldn't help praising them.
Qian'er was a little shy, leaning on her mother's arms and playing with an orange in her hand. The toddler is still naughty and not afraid of people at all. He looks around with his big curious eyes.
Yan'er is already five years old. She is wearing a small robe. Although she has no hair, she is wearing a hat. Her little face is stern, like a little adult. When the ministers saw him like this, they felt confident.
This child is smart and has a calm temperament.
If this continues, as long as he doesn't grow crooked, inheriting the throne will definitely not be a problem.
The cabinet has long revealed that the emperor intends to make the eldest son the crown prince and the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty later this year.
This time is his official debut.
It certainly lived up to expectations.
Speaking of which, Yan'er was born outside the palace, and it was unclear when he entered the palace. In addition, his mother Yun Dai was not from a high background.
This has always been criticized.
But now, Yun Dai has been confirmed to be of the royal bloodline of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and she has successfully conquered the Northern Qi Dynasty for the Zhou Dynasty.
Conquering the Northern Qi Dynasty, this matter can be said in one sentence, but it is actually a great achievement that will benefit the future and have immeasurable merits.
Based on what the Empress has accomplished, Zhou should build a temple for her.
Nowadays, all over the Zhou Dynasty, from the princes and ministers to the traffickers and pawns, who doesn’t fanatically worship the Queen?
Now that things have happened, the empress has a noble status and outstanding achievements. It is natural that there is no dispute that her eldest son born to the emperor has been established as the crown prince.
Therefore, the ministers bowed politely to Yan'er, which was regarded as their unanimous recognition of the status of the future prince.
Yan'er's performance did not disappoint. He was always courteous and courteous. He sat next to the emperor with his back straight. The father and son looked exactly like the same mold.
Apart from the future Crown Prince, the most eye-catching person in the palace is Xiao Ziliang.
As the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, he came to the Great Zhou Dynasty to pay homage, which naturally attracted the attention of thousands of people.
However, he is a newly enthroned emperor, and is far inferior to the reputation of the previous emperors Xiao Yan and Xiao Ziye. Coupled with the unconcealable businessman spirit in him and the identity of his biological mother, it is very eye-catching. Not on.
Fortunately, Xiao Zi had a strong conscience and completely ignored the looks of the princes, nobles and ministers of Zhou Dynasty.
He looked at the food on the small table in front of him. They were all things he had never seen or heard before, and he had no time to pay attention to anything else.
Before the banquet began, the emperor announced the important matter of Northern Qi's surrender.
This was the wish of several generations of emperors in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that it was realized in his hands, Zhao Yuanjing was also in an excited mood.
The cabinet minister read out the imperial edict, canonizing Xiao Ziliang as the King of Northern Qi, and he has been stationed in Northern Qi for generations. The throne is hereditary.
The so-called hereditary substitution means that the title will not be reduced after every generation.
Xiao Ziliang is the king of Northern Qi, and his future sons will inherit the throne, as well as his grandson and great-grandson, who are also kings of Northern Qi.
Without this hereditary privileged prince, future generations would have to lower their title by one level when they inherit the title. That is, hereditary descent.
In today's Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no hereditary throne.
Including Zhao Shu, the Prince of Qin who now has the ultimate power and the most noble status.
In other words, in the future, his sons and grandsons will not have princely titles, but will only have descending titles such as throne, duke, marquis, and earl.
