Ruohua personally cooked and made a table of delicious dishes.

Zhang Chao and Chengqian opened a jar of red wine from Zhangjia Whalegou Vineyard Winery.

"Tomorrow is the day when Your Highness ascends the throne and the extremist ruler, and I should change my words to call Your Highness Your Highness Your Majesty. Your Majesty also wants to change his words to call me. From then on, Your Majesty bears the world, and the sun and the moon will have a greater responsibility."

The nineteen-year-old Cheng Qian drank three glasses of red wine, and his face was already slightly red. With a little drunkenness, he smiled and said, "Yes, I will be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, the emperor means power, and more importantly, responsibility. Your Majesty will be related to billions of people and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the future."

As an emperor, Chengqian, nineteen years old, seemed a little young. Although his father was only over 20 years old when he seized the throne, Chengqian was different from Li Shimin. He did not have the rich experience in commanding troops and conquering battles as Li Shimin, and lacked the experience of governing.

Not to mention, he experienced such a cruel power struggle like Li Shimin.

But no matter what, in Zhang Chao's eyes, Cheng Qian is still a very ideal emperor, not because he is young and easy to control. In fact, Zhang Chao never thought of manipulating Cheng Qian.

Chengqian was his student and studied with him since he was a child. It can be said that Chengqian was able to understand his ideas. This emperor accepted many of his new ideas, which were different from ordinary princes, nobles or scholars.

Moreover, Chengqian was not the emperor like Li Zhi who was raised in the deep palace and was good at women. He received education from Zhang Chao since childhood, and often lived outside, understood the outside world, knew the sufferings of the people, and understood the needs of all classes.

Zhang Chao only needs proper guidance, no manipulation. This is a smart emperor. If Zhang Chao wants to manipulate him, it will definitely backfire.

Both of them are smart people, but Cheng Qian is still a little too young after all, and he still has to rely on Zhang Chao.

"Ten years, Your Majesty, I will take office in ten years. At that time, I will no longer be in the court, and will return to my fiefdom to enjoy my old age." Zhang Chao revealed his plans to Chengqian on this warmer occasion with a little wine.

"Ten years later, the teacher is only forty-eight."

"In the court, officials are not suitable for a position for too long, especially those important positions. I am shameless in demanding to be the Prime Minister, and I also want to protect His Majesty for another period of time. Ten years later, the political situation will be stable and His Majesty is about to be thirty years old. At that time, His Majesty can try to show his ambitions and ideals and just want to enjoy it in the fief."

Cheng Qian smiled slightly.

Now he is still a little ambivalent, and he is psychologically dependent on Zhang Chao, but gradually he wants more autonomy.

When Zhang Chao took the initiative to set a schedule, he felt relieved and reluctant to let it go.

"Oh, you two, today is just a family dinner. You two have to talk about those big things, so you can't worry about our two sisters." Ruohua interrupted with a smile, and she served a bowl of soup for her father and husband.

"Lotus seed soup has been brewed for a long time."

"Hahaha, blame me." Zhang Chao smiled and took the soup bowl handed over by his daughter.

Fanghua and Ruohua sit together, Fanghua is holding Xiaolong, and Ruohua teases the child from time to time. Although the two sisters are not the same mother, they are very close. It seems that when they were still in the Zhao Palace.

Now that we are serving the same husband, the relationship has not been restored.

Zhang Chao was very pleased, and he was also worried that there would be a grudge between the two sisters.

In fact, what Zhang Chao is most proud of is not how high the status he has achieved in the Tang Dynasty or how much wealth he has earned. What he is most happy about is that he has lived here with a taste.

Wife, concubine, children, these people are deeply influenced by themselves and there is no excessive fighting in the back house. The son is not a playboy, and the daughter is not a spoiled. When the two daughters marry, the eldest son Zhang Jing will get married soon, and the Erlang and Sanlang behind him will also get married.

After marriage, they must have gone to the fiefdom. They had long wanted to go to their fiefdom, and Zhang Chao supported them to go down and exercise earlier.

Jade cannot be made into a weapon without carving.

The children of the Zhang family are stronger than those of other families and are more independent and self-reliant, which is his greatest pride.

I no longer talk about sensitive political affairs, the meal was quite warm next time.

Ruohua suddenly covered her mouth and turned her head and ran away.

Fanghua smiled and said, "I guess I have one."

Cheng Qian said happily when he heard this, "I will call the imperial doctor right away."

The meal was interrupted, but everyone was waiting happily. When Ruohua came back, Fanghua carefully asked about her recent physical reactions, and the more she asked, she confirmed that she was pregnant.

The imperial doctor arrived quickly and carefully took the pulse and also gave the result of the happy pulse.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to King Zhao of Anguo, the noble man is happy."

This meal was a surprise.

When I got home, I told Shisan Niang about the good news and the red line. Both of them were so happy.

The next day, Chengqian's Ascension Ceremony.

Zhang Chao went to Changle Palace early in the morning.

In the palace, Li Shimin's concubines were all there, but the princes did not live here. The princes, regardless of age, were taken out of the palace and arranged to live in the newly built houses of the kings. Usually, two princes lived together in the same courtyard and were taken care of by dedicated people.

When they were fifteen years old, they would perform the ceremony of a crown and then they would be officially granted the title of vassal.

The Changle Palace is much deserted.

In mid-October, there was still white frost early in the morning.

Zhang Chao was wearing a dragon robe, a jade belt, and a golden crown on his head.

When I entered the palace, I met Wu.

Wu Meiniang was thrusting with a big belly.

"Mei Niang."

"King Zhao of Anguo." Wu Meiniang bowed with some difficulty.

"If you call me an adopted father, you will die." Zhang Chao looked at the woman, "If you want, I can ask someone to take you home. The Zhao royal mansion or the Wu family will do whatever you want."

Wu called out to his adoptive father and stroked his bulging belly.

"I want to stay and take care of His Majesty." After a pause, "He is quite pitiful now."

"You have the power to choose, but no matter which choice, I will respect you. In addition, I want to say thank you to you. You also made great contributions in the Ganlu Palace that day. Your Highness is also thinking about your kindness!"

"I just did my best." Wu Mei looked at the guard behind Zhang Chao, "Is the adoptive father here to see His Majesty?"

"Something to tell His Majesty."

Wu Mei was a little worried but couldn't say it.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

"My daughter took her adoptive father to meet His Majesty."

On the way, Zhang Chao asked about Li Shimin's recent situation.

"Your Majesty can't take pills now, and he was not very adaptable at first. Now he is used to it. In fact, those pills are all liars and have a great harm to Your Majesty's body. Especially for the mind, after taking pills, Your Majesty's temperament changed drastically and became irritable and extreme. Now, Your Majesty is much more stable."

Li Shimin experienced many power struggles throughout his life. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he quickly realized the reality.

Now staying in Beigong is very quiet. When you have nothing to do, you write, occasionally draw, and sometimes you play the piano. But there is no one to accompany you, and you are very lonely.

Back then, the Supreme Emperor and Pei Ji, Feng Lun often went to the palace to accompany him, but now no one from Li Shimin came to see him. Some people think that, but Zhang Chao does not allow outsiders to see Li Shimin.

It is necessary to defend against it.

When he arrived at the bedroom, Li Shimin was still sleeping in.

Zhang Chao asked someone to inform him, but Li Shimin ignored him and continued to sleep with him.

He had to let someone pass on it again and again.

In the end, Wu Meiniang went in in person. I don’t know what method he used, so Li Shimin asked Zhang Chao to go in.

Zhang Chao walked in big strode.

Li Shimin leaned against the bed with his hair loose, looking at Zhang Chao with disdain.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne today."

"What, Chengqian asked me to support him?"

Zhang Chao shook his head, "After discussing with the prince, I decided not to bother Your Majesty today."

Li Shimin was shocked.

In fact, he knew that Cheng Qian ascended the throne today, so he deliberately didn't want to afford it. He just waited for someone from there to invite him, and then he was going to take the opportunity to do something. Anyway, don't want Cheng Qian to rest.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chao said he didn't need him to go.

Li Shimin was furious and sat up all of a sudden.

"I am still the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"The Emperor will be after today."

Li Shimin was angry and roared at Wu Meiniang, "Bitch, why don't you hurry up and get me a crown. I want to participate in Chengqian's throne ceremony. I want to hand over the seal to Chengqian myself, and I want to put the crown on Chengqian."

Zhang Chao said leisurely, "Your Majesty, you really don't have to worry about you. Everything has been arranged for the ceremony. Thinking that Your Majesty has been unwell recently, he has not arranged for you to attend."

Li Shimin angrily lifted the quilt from the bed, rushed to Zhang Chao in his middle clothes, and almost pressed his nose on.

Suddenly, Li Shimin smiled.

"Hahaha, I know, Zhang San, you are here to perform the provocation method."

Zhang Chao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's not. Actually, I'm here to tell the prince some words and words in my heart. In addition, I also want to say something to Your Majesty."

Li Shimin's smile stopped and his face became gloomy again.

He actually wanted to participate in Chengqian's throne ceremony. He just wanted to watch it with his own eyes. He saw Chengqian with his own eyes, and how shameless they were.

But now, Cheng Qian and Zhang Chao don’t even give him this opportunity.
