C116 New year's eve 1

The 'Naji' ceremony was already over, it was equivalent to a betrothal marriage. If nothing went wrong, this marriage would definitely happen!

Of course, there were many things that needed to be prepared for the emperor's grand wedding. As for the upcoming great battle, the invitation period, and the welcome ceremony, they would only be held during the first half of next year! Other than that, there was still a title to be given to Empress Zheyue Ru before welcoming her!

However, Zhao Chen was not the least bit interested in these things! Moreover, he was the emperor, so there was no need for him to worry about these things!

After Na Ji, Zhao Chen's life returned to normal, he was still a carpenter everyday! He would occasionally go out to hunt, and every time he went hunting, he would temporarily stay in the Changchun View to learn martial arts from his master, Wang Chongyang! Unknowingly, his martial arts had already reached the seventh level of the Postnatal realm! With regards to Zhao Chen's fast improvement speed, even Wang Chongyang was surprised! From Wang Chongyang's point of view, it should have been because of the ape's clothes and the Bone Washing Hair, that allowed Zhao Chen to progress so quickly!

When it was the 29th of the Moon, Zhao Chen went out to hunt once again!

He rode the Jade Lion of Reflection in the cold wind, in an excellent mood! Just now, he had killed a black bear. Just now, a soldier had already transported the black bear to the Imperial Palace!

"Congratulations your majesty, we have bear paws to eat on New Year's Eve!" Lin Bao followed behind Zhao Chen and said with a charming smile.

Zhao Chen laughed and said: "Let's go! Let's go to Changchun View! "

In the afternoon, they came to the Changchun View. This time, Zhao Chen and Ma Yu sat in front of Wang Chongyang and learnt Tao techniques from him!

Wang Chongyang only stopped when it was dusk!

Zhao Chen said: "Master, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, why don't you and your junior brother follow me to the Imperial Palace? This disciple only has you two close ones by his side. If you two are not willing to spend New Year's Eve with me, then you would be too lonely! "

Before Wang Chongyang could say anything, Ma Yu had already said excitedly, "Alright, alright, let's go with senior brother to the Imperial Palace for New Year's Eve!"

Ma Yu's face was full of excitement. Ever since he came to the Middle Han Area, Ma Yu had never gone to the palace! He was just a six year old child, and he had an incomparable yearning towards the legendary Imperial Palace!

"Alright, we'll go to the Imperial Palace together tomorrow!" Wang Chongyang said.

Hearing Wang Chongyang's words, Zhao Chen was ecstatic! No matter what, he was still a youth. In his heart, he still felt a sense of reliance on his elders! And Wang Chongyang was his only senior! Wang Chongyang was willing to go to the Imperial Palace, so his mood was naturally joyful!

"Senior Brother, I heard you're going to get married soon?" Ma Yu said.

"That big wedding is not allowed!" Zhao Chen shook his head and laughed bitterly.

"Don't bring this up in front of your senior brother from now on!" Wang Chongyang said.

Although Wang Chongyang did not care about politics, it did not mean that he lacked political wisdom! He also understood that this so-called "big wedding" was only because of Zhe Keqiu's political needs. Zhao Chen definitely did not have any expectations towards this so called "big wedding!"

Ma Yu stuck his tongue out, and did not say anymore!

That night, Zhao Chen stayed in the Changchun View. In the morning of the next day, he brought Wang Chongyang, Ma Yu and the others to the Imperial Palace!

It had already been a month's time, but today was New Year's Eve. At noon, it started snowing!

The sky was incomparably gloomy, as if it was going to fall down from above!

Within two hours, the entire palace was covered in snow!

Zhao Chen and Ma Yu were running around the palace playing games together! Zhao Chen found many guards to accompany him in playing hide and seek, Ma Yu was extremely excited!

Seeing Ma Yu, Zhao Chen just smiled endlessly! This junior brother of his was naive and innocent; he was a true child. This was very different from him!

"If only I could be as happy as junior!" Zhao Chen thought.

At that moment, other than them playing games, there were still many people walking around in the palace. Countless guards were carrying the food and wine towards the Preservation Hall, and Zhao Chen was going to have a feast here with all the other officials!

By the afternoon, Ma Yu was tired from playing, so he took to see the wood work he did. Ma Yu was ecstatic as he looked at the exquisite wood work, and said: "Senior Brother, I want to learn these too!"

Lin Bao, who was at the side, had a smile on his face as he thought, "As expected, children are all the same. His Majesty likes woodworking, and his Majesty's junior brother also likes woodworking!"

"When you have time, I will slowly teach you!" Zhao Chen laughed loudly.

"Your Majesty, today is New Year's Eve. Won't Your Majesty send some gifts to Miss Pinkie?" Lin Bao Dao.

"You can take care of this matter!" Zhao Chen said indifferently.

Lin Bao agreed and immediately went to arrange this matter, not even mentioning it! Zhao Chen just frowned in displeasure!

By the time the night came, the snow was falling harder and harder. The sky had turned dark!

Inside the palace, countless palace lamps were lit! After a short while, the ministers entered the palace one by one.

The imperial history's, the 6 officials from the 6 ministries, the assistant ministers, the officials from the Privy Council, as well as the officials from the neighboring prefectures that Zhe Keqiu called specially all entered the palace!

These ministers had all come to the Preservation Hall and were seated in their respective positions according to their official positions!

After a while, Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanwen finally arrived!

Seeing that the two of them had arrived, the ministers of the Peace Hall all stood up and bowed towards Zhe Keqiu!

Zhe Keqiu just cupped his hands together and sat on the seat closest to the throne!

Finally, Zhao Chen entered the Imperial Palace accompanied by Lin Bao, Kang An and the others!

Seeing Zhao Chen coming in, all the officials kneeled down and greeted him, "Greetings your majesty!"

"Both of you, rise!" Today is New Year's Eve, and I want to spend New Year's Eve with all the ministers! " Zhao Chen laughed.

The ministers stood up one by one and returned to their seats!

"This year, I have been crowned in the Middle Han Area, all thanks to the ministers! I shall first toast to the ministers! " Zhao Chen laughed.

He raised his wine cup and stood up. The ministers standing below had no choice but to stand up and drink a cup of wine together.

"Nvzhen is still glaring at us like a tiger eyeing its prey. Master Fold, this matter still depends on you!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Don't worry Your Majesty, as long as this humble subject is here, Nvzhen will not be able to cross over the Dazhang Pass, and won't be able to enter the Middle Han Area!" Zhe Keqiu said.

"That would be for the best!" Zhao Chen said.

"His Majesty is going to marry Master Fold's beloved daughter. From today onwards, His Majesty will be family with him!" At this time, Kuang Shi and Han Ping stood up and said.

Hearing this, Zhao Chen lightly nodded, and said: "That's right! From now on, I am family with Master Fold! "

"From now on, His Majesty is Master Fold's son-in-law!" Han Ping said again.

This time, Zhao Chen only nodded and did not reply.

"As the son-in-law of the Master Fold, today is New Year's Eve, shouldn't your majesty kneel before your father-in-law?" Han Ping said with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, all the ministers in the Palace were stunned! Even Zhe Keqiu was stunned!

In the feudal dynasty of ancient China, the Emperor's position was supreme! Even the Puppet Emperor held a supreme position in name! Since ancient times, there had never been a reason for a reigning emperor to kneel to an official! Even if this person was the emperor's father-in-law, the emperor would not kneel down in respect! Not to mention that the emperor would never kneel before his father-in-law, even the empress and concubines of the imperial harem would never kneel before their father! As long as the Empress and her concubines entered the palace, they would be the emperor's women, and would have a status that was even higher than their father's. Even their father would have to kneel and bow when he saw them!

But now, Han Ping had actually flipped over, and asked Zhao Chen to kneel for Zhe Keqiu!

This was an extraordinary shame and humiliation!

For a time, the Peace Palace became incomparably silent!

"That's right, your majesty should kneel in front of Master Fold! Today, His Majesty is not paying his respects to his subject as a Sovereign King, but as a son-in-law paying his respects to his father-in-law! " Wei Ming stood out and said.

"Sir Han, Sir Wei is right. Your Majesty cannot be lacking in manners today!" Yet another minister had stepped forward!

"Yes, your majesty, you should pay your respects to Master Fold!"

"Your Majesty, you must not be disrespectful!"

… ….

More and more ministers stood up and said.

At the start, Zhe Keqiu was still a little stunned, but until now, his face was full of excitement and anticipation. His eyes were staring straight at Zhao Chen, he wanted to see what Zhao Chen would do next!

Zhao Chen's expression did not change much from the beginning! There was always a faint smile on his face. Even now, he still wore that gentle smile! This kind of gentleness was considered weak in the eyes of some ministers!

However, they did not see that Zhao Chen's hand was already tightly clenched under the table, and the ivory chopsticks in his hand had already been crushed by his hand!

Almost every single minister stood out and asked Zhao Chen to "bow" to Zhe Keqiu!

Finally, Zhao Chen stood up, walked down from above, and arrived in front of Zhe Keqiu. He knelt, and said: "Greetings, father-in-law!"

"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Zhe Keqiu laughed loudly. He was extremely excited and pleased!

Although he was still a minister and not an emperor, the emperor had already kowtowed to him, a minister! From then on, the Emperor no longer had any dignity or status in front of him! Those ministers who saw this scene would no longer have the respect for the emperor, even if it was on the surface! This kind of useless Emperor was no longer worth his vigilance!

"I must truly wield the power to tear Zhe Keqiu into a thousand pieces!" Zhao Chen still had a gentle smile on his face, he lowered his head, but the venom in his eyes could no longer be hidden!

"Your Majesty, we will be family from now on. After the new year, I will properly plan the marriage! I promise that I will arrange this marriage in such a magnificent manner that the people of the world will look up to and admire it! This marriage will be recorded in the annals of history, and will be admired by all! " Zhao Chen had already returned to the throne, and said this at this time.

Previously, Na Ce, Wen Ming, and Na Ji were all engaged to be betrothed to him. After that, it was time to prepare for the wedding! That was why Zhe Keqiu said that!

"Thank you, Sir!" Zhao Chen said.

At this moment, Zhao Chen was still sitting on the throne, but in the eyes of the ministers, it seemed like Zhao Chen was not as "high" as he was before! Before, regardless of whether Zhao Chen was the puppet emperor or not, they had all been looking up to him. Now, they were looking down at him! The ministers were no longer afraid of Zhao Chen, and each of them started to talk and laugh! It was only when they saw Zhe Keqiu that their eyes would become filled with reverence!

At this moment, even Lin Bao was looking at Zhao Chen with a tinge of ridicule in his eyes! This kind of young emperor had no power, no power, no ability. And now, with his dignity sweeping the ground, even he, a eunuch, looked down on Zhao Chen!

On the other side, Kang An clenched his teeth! Kang An was a subordinate of Zhe Keqiu in the past, but he was forced to submit to Zhao Chen because he was "forced to do so" by his mother. But no matter what was said, he and Zhe Keqiu had some love affair, but he did not expect Zhe Keqiu to be this impudent! And also the imperial history's official, Han Ping, this man was vicious to the extreme, in order to curry favor with Zhe Keqiu, he forced Zhao Chen to kneel first!

"Insolent to the extreme! I am currently contacting the Managed soldiers in the palace! There were already dozens of people who were willing to serve His Majesty, and those people had even carved the words' kill with vow 'on their backs! Unfortunately, our strength is still too little. We still need to continue to develop! Wait until he grows stronger, then we can help His Majesty to kill this traitor Zhe Keqiu! This traitor was absolutely lawless! His Majesty was the Son of Heaven, the Emperor, and the Sovereign. You were only a subject, but you actually dared to ask the Emperor to kneel to you. Other than the Supreme Emperor and the ancestors of the dead imperial family, there is no one else in the world who can force the Emperor to kneel! " Kang An secretly thought.

At this very moment, Kang An also felt an abnormal sense of humiliation in his heart! Even though he had been humiliated and humiliated to the point of death, Zhao Chen could only stand to one side. For a moment, his face was completely flushed red! He gritted his teeth and looked outside, unwilling to see the scene any longer!

The officials of the Peace Hall laughed unrestrainedly, no one noticed the difference in Kang An at all! Furthermore, they did not notice any difference in Zhao Chen!

Zhao Chen acted as if nothing had happened, as his heart had already calmed down! From the Kaifeng Mansion to now, he had experienced many hardships on the way, so the small humiliation in front of him was nothing! A victory in a short period of time was not a victory, but a victory in the end! Zhao Chen did not fight for a momentary victory, he only wanted the final victory!

"Your daughter is so beautiful, and she looks so pure! Originally, I still wanted to separate you from your daughter. But now, after I gain control of the country, your clan will be annihilated, not a single one of you can be let off! Every man, woman, and child, do not leave a single one of them alive! " Zhao Chen used a "gentle" gaze to look down at the officials below, but in his heart, he was thinking about something vicious that they could not even dream of!

"What are Yue Fei, Li Gang and the others doing on New Year's Eve?" Zhao Chen poured a cup of wine for himself and drank, and suddenly thought of Yue Fei, Li Gang and the rest!
