Chapter 397 paying respects to His Highness the Crown Prince
A Minister stood out from the crowd and said, ” “Your Majesty, I have a question that I don’t understand. Please help me answer it.”
“Speak!” Emperor Hui Wen guessed what he wanted to ask.
I didn’t mean to offend you, Your Highness. I was just asking the question in my heart. The official was afraid of being held accountable, so he immediately made it clear.
“As far as I know, wasn’t the fourteenth Prince harmed by an evil person when he was young?” After so many years, now that she has appeared again, will she be disappointed?”
He did not finish his sentence.
However, the people present were all smart and understood.
Emperor Hui Wen was not angry. On the contrary, he was very happy in his heart. If he did not stand up and ask this question, the person he had arranged for would also stand up and immediately clarify this question.
If he wanted the 14th Prince, Zhou Jing, to become the Crown Prince, the first thing he had to do was to prove his innocence.
After all, he was the one who personally ordered the death of the 14th Prince!
Secondly, he still had to go through the Imperial Clan Court. He had already made his decision on this, so he was not worried at all.
He smiled.
“My beloved official’s words are correct, I will now let Zong Zheng verify the fourteenth’s identity.” Emperor Huiwen said.
His eyes fell on an old man who was standing proudly in front of the members of the royal family. He was wearing a white robe, which made him look extraordinary. His eyes were full of wisdom, like the incarnation of wisdom. He stood there casually with his hands behind his back, and a tremendous Qi was released from him, affecting the surrounding world.
He was Zhou country’s Zong Zheng!
“May I trouble Zong Zheng to come up the stage and verify fourteenth’s identity.” Emperor Hui Wen said,
“Alright,” he said. Zong Zheng replied.
Everything had been arranged, and he was just going through the motions.
Under everyone’s gaze, Zong Zheng walked towards the high platform. When he reached the platform, he tapped his feet and landed on it.
He looked at the 14th Prince helplessly and thought to himself, ” after going through so much trouble and getting rid of so many people, is it really worth it to let him take the position? ”
He didn’t know!
This question could only be proven by time. Who knew whether it was right or wrong?
He said calmly, ” “Come forward.”
“Greetings, Zong Zheng!” Zhou Jing took a step forward and saluted respectfully.
“Yes.” Zong Zheng nodded his head.
No matter what, he was still the heir chosen by Emperor Hui Wen. As a royalist, he firmly supported him.
“I’ll now use the imperial family’s Secret technique to verify your identity.”
“Everything is up to Zong Zheng, fourteen has no objections.” Zhou Jing said.
Zong Zheng turned around and scanned the crowd. He then introduced, ” the royal family has a secret technique called the Golden Dragon bloodline technique. If he is a member of the royal family, the bloodline that will be revealed in his body will merge with mine. Furthermore, he also has the fate of the great Zhou Dynasty.
He retracted his gaze.
He then looked at the 14th Prince and formed hand seals with both hands. He roared, ” “Golden Dragon bloodline technique!”
A terrifying aura emanated from his body, as unfathomable as the vast Galaxy.
A bright golden light appeared and rushed out from the top of his head, enveloping the 14th Prince Zhou Jing.
As the seals in his hands changed, a five-clawed Golden Dragon appeared above his head, along with the great Zhou’s luck.
The fourteenth Prince was the same. However, the five-clawed Golden Dragon that he revealed was not as big as his. However, his luck was not inferior to his at all. In fact, it was even stronger.
The two five-clawed golden dragons merged together, and even their luck was the same. They roared and swam in the air. Every time they made a turn, they would growl.
“My Golden Dragon bloodline technique has confirmed the 14th Prince’s identity as a member of the royal family,” Zong Zheng said.
He waved his right hand and put away the Golden Dragon bloodline technique.
He looked at Emperor Hui Wen and nodded to him. He took a step forward and once again returned to his own line.
Emperor Huiwen took over the stage and said, ” “After old fourteen was assassinated that year, we were worried that he would meet with another accident and be killed by evil people, so we announced to the outside world that he had died! Now that he’s grown up, he’s proficient in both literature and martial arts. Even if he encounters danger again, he’ll be able to deal with all the troubles.”
He paused for a moment.
This time, his tone was even more dignified and unquestionable. is there anyone else who still doubts his identity? ”
The ministers were not fools. Emperor Huiwen had already said this.
If they didn’t know what was good for them, they would have a very miserable ending.
Those who were invited were purely there to watch the show. Whether Zhou Jing was a member of the royal family or not did not matter much to them, except for some ambitious people.
The official who questioned Zhou Jing’s identity was an experienced man. He knelt on the ground and shouted, ” “Your Highness will live for thousands of years!”
The other ministers cursed in their hearts,”flatterer.”
He immediately stepped out and knelt on the ground.
“Rise!” Emperor Hui Wen nodded in satisfaction.
The 14th Prince’s identity had already been verified, and it was time to crown him as the Crown Prince.
“Today is my 66th birthday, and on this special day, I would like to announce something. Let’s have a double celebration, and let all my friends and ministers drink to their hearts” content.”
“I hereby announce that Zhou Jing is the Crown Prince!” He said, pointing at the 14th Prince, Zhou Jing.
A stone shooting out a thousand ripples.
Hearing his words, the ministers couldn’t help but whisper to each other.
