Chapter 761
Chapter 761 Recognize the ancestor and return to the ancestor
Yun Yi's mind was quickly turned: "I understand. Over the years, the Yu Palace has been empty. I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
Jing Rui nodded slightly: "Smart, I heard that the things that King Yu secretly transported back to Beijing were the spoils seized from the previous capture of Nansai City. At that time, Nansai City was the border town of Nanjun State."
Yun Yi turned her head and looked at Jing Rui: "So, the batch of things that King Yu escorted back then did not reach the hands of the late emperor?"
Jing Rui said lightly, "I heard that one year after Princess Yu and Princess passed away, the Huai Palace in the capital suffered a fire, and no one in the mansion escaped.
It was privately rumored that it was King Yu's move, because King Yu had only one daughter. King Huai had thought of adopting a son to King Yu's name several times before, but they were rejected. The person who killed King Yu's wife and daughter was said to be the one sent by King Huai.
I originally wanted to make the princess frightened so that King Yu would mention adoption after returning to the capital in the future. The purpose was to inherit the Prince Yu's mansion a hundred years later. As a result, the guards of Prince Yu's mansion fought to protect the Lord and killed many people pretending to be bandits, and those people had the idea of killing."
After Yun Yi heard this, "What does this have to do with the late emperor? Otherwise, why didn't King Yu hand over that batch of things to the emperor?"
Jing Rui looked at the people in his arms and laughed: "The King of Huai sent those people. King Yu was afraid that he found out that the late emperor was informed, but the late emperor did not stop it, just because the Yu Palace and the Huai Palace were not in harmony, which would be more beneficial to the late emperor's country."
Yun Yi leaned into Jing Rui's arms and said, "Oh, I can't blame King Yu for doing that."
Jing Rui raised his hand to touch Yun Yi's hair: "From the late emperor to the lord of the previous emperor, the Yu Palace has probably been turned over in the past few years. They found those things and did not know about them. However, the purpose of giving the Yu Palace to his father was to make those who want to get that group of wealth stare at us. It's really easy to plot."
Yun Yi joked: "Maybe we are lucky and can find that batch of things."
Jing Rui shook his head and said, "I don't know whether that batch of things have been shipped back to Beijing. Even if they are shipped back to Beijing, they have existed in the Yu Palace for so many years, so I'm afraid they have been brought out long ago."
Yun Yi sat upright: "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe they didn't look for some places, and we happened to meet them."
Jing Rui looked at Yun Yi with a funny look: "Okay, then it depends on you from now on."
The next day, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to pass by the mansion and explained the process of tomorrow in detail.
After the people from the Ministry of Rites left, another person came from the palace, asking Cheng Yanbin and Jing Rui to enter the palace.
When Jing Rui came back, Yun Yi had already fallen asleep. She really was about to get up before dawn tomorrow morning. She is now heavy and dare not be careless.
Feeling Jing Rui getting on the bed, Yun Yi naturally leaned into his arms, and in a daze, he said, "I'm back."
Jing Rui fell on Yun Yi's forehead and kissed: "Yeah, go to bed."
He hugged the person in his arms and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, just after Yin hour, someone called me up. They wanted to get up and go to the palace first, go to the empress dowager's place to salute, and then go to the ancestral temple together.
The emperor personally led all civil and military officials and clan relatives to fire the cannon and asked for a royal jade certificate.
Then the elders of the royal family presided over the ancestral recognition ceremony. Cheng Yanbin and his son changed their surname to Mo, and from then on they became Mo Yanbin and Mo Jingrui.
Afterwards, the two worshiped their ancestors according to customs and worshiped them.
Then the officials of the Ministry of Rites read out the imperial edict: Mo Yanbin was named King Duan, the late wife was posthumously named Princess Duan, Mo Jingrui was named Princess Duan, and Xiao Yunyi was named Princess Concubine and was given to the royal palace.
After that, Mo Yanbin and Mo Jingrui wrote the royal jade letter, Ai Xinyi changed her surname to Cheng and recorded it in the jade letter. Of course, Xiao Yunyi's name was also written below Mo Jingrui.
At this point, Mo Yanbin and Mo Jingrui and his son officially recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors.
Two days later, the Duan Prince's Mansion opened. On that day, the Duan Prince's Mansion was held a water banquet. The royal relatives, nobles, officials, and prominent families in the capital all sent people to congratulate him. The traffic in front of the Duan Prince's Mansion was very lively and bustling all day long.
From the emperor and the queen mother to the palace, they also sent people to send gifts to the palaces of the harem. Even the concubine Li, who was about to be angry, had to grit her teeth and give a gift. She fought in the palace to the death, but she had to worry about her own decency in front of outsiders.
