The best ring

Qi Kai's words silenced Zhao Lun, who was already very angry, and the anger on his face dissipated a lot.

Zhao Lun knew very well how his edict came about. He felt guilty in his heart, so he wanted to ascend the throne as soon as possible and let the matter settle. At the same time, he was also extremely afraid that others would question his legitimacy.

Most people in this era are superstitious. Originally, many people had doubts about his ascension to the throne. If there are any mistakes in the enthronement ceremony, someone will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. Once again questioning the legitimacy of his ascension to the throne, ordinary people and even ministers will feel that he is not the old emperor at all or even the emperor chosen by God.

Therefore, nothing can happen to the enthronement ceremony, not even the slightest accident. This is why Zhao Lun paid so much attention to the enthronement ceremony.

Now, Qi Kai's words obviously make sense. Under extreme fatigue, it is indeed easy to make mistakes. If there is a problem in a certain detail, it will ruin the big thing.

Thinking of this, most of the anger in Zhao Lun's heart had dissipated. He looked at Qi Kai and said in a gentle tone: "Qi Shangshu, I misunderstood you. You have thought carefully. The officials of the Ministry of Rites really need a good rest. , Only when you have enough energy can you do better things.”

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness." Qi Kai said gratefully: "Your Highness, please rest assured that this enthronement ceremony is the most important thing for everyone in our Ministry of Etiquette. Without wasting time, we will definitely make this enthronement ceremony the best." Success, even the most successful in the history of our Yanfeng Kingdom, when the time comes, the legitimacy of His Highness’s accession to the throne will not be questioned by anyone.”

Zhao Lun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let Qi Shangshu worry about it. Don't worry, I will not forget your contribution. I have long thought that with Qi Shangshu's ability, he should never be just the Minister of Rites, let alone the Minister of Rites." It should be the Minister of Civil Affairs!"

Hearing Zhao Lun's words, Qi Kai's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, he even had the urge to surrender to Zhao Lun completely.

But Qi Kai suppressed his impulse very well. He knew Zhao Lun's character and what he said now may not be fulfilled in the future. Moreover, the legitimacy of Zhao Lun's throne was always a problem. Not only was Zhao Xuan looking for Qi Kai believed that others were also looking for the forged evidence of the imperial edict. Zhao Lun seemed to be not far from the throne, but he might not be able to sit on it.

Therefore, Qi Kai decided to act according to his previous thoughts.

"Thank you for your highness's appreciation. I will definitely work hard for your highness until my death!" Qi Kai said with loyalty on his face and a look of sincerity and fear on his face.

Zhao Lun didn't know Qi Kai's true thoughts. Seeing Qi Kai's reaction, he nodded with satisfaction, "Then according to Qi Shangshu's arrangement, when can the enthronement ceremony be held?"

This is an issue that Zhao Lun is very concerned about. After all, as long as he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, everything will be different.

"Back to Your Highness, I need seven days to prepare for the enthronement ceremony." Qi Kai said.

"Seven days?" Zhao Lun frowned: "The time is a bit too long, can it be shorter?"

"There is no problem in shortening the time. It is even possible for His Highness to want to hold the enthronement ceremony tomorrow." Qi Kai said: "It's just that the preparation time is different, and the scale of the ceremony is naturally different. The reason why Wei Chen proposed that it takes seven days , but I want to prepare a grand and perfect ceremony for His Highness, a ceremony that will be unforgettable and leave a mark in history. Such a ceremony is very complicated and naturally requires a lot of time. "

After listening to Qi Kai's words, Zhao Lun felt a little impatient, but he felt relieved. After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Lun felt that there was nothing wrong with what Qi Kai said. If he wanted to hold a grand ceremony, he would naturally need more information. It took a lot of time to prepare.

Zaren needed such a grand ceremony now, but the deceased proved that he ascended to the throne in good faith.

As for the slightly longer time, Zhao Lun could accept it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lun said to Qi Kai: "Then just do what Qi Shangshu has prepared. This enthronement ceremony must be grand and perfect."

Hearing Zhao Lun's words, Qi Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Lun: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Wei Chen will do his best."

"Just trying your best is not enough, I want you to promise!" Zhao Lun's face darkened and he said: "I will give you enough time, and I can help you prepare whatever you need. The only thing is, this enthronement ceremony, There must be no accident, otherwise, I won’t let you off lightly!”

The person who had been sincerely wooing him just now suddenly changed his expression. Qi Kai was secretly glad that he had not been deceived by Zhao Lun's empty promises before.

Qi Kai said yes repeatedly, which made Zhao Lun smile.

However, Zhao Lun quickly thought of another thing and asked, "I heard that my eldest brother just came to see you?"

Zhao Lun has been sending people to keep an eye on several princes, so the whereabouts of the eldest prince Zhao Xuan cannot be hidden from him. What's more, when Zhao Xuan went to the Ministry of Rites, he brought many people with him, which made a lot of noise. It is even more impossible for Lun not to know.

Qi Kai was not surprised by Zhao Lun's inquiry. He knew that the matter could not be hidden, and he had already thought about how to answer Zhao Lun on the way here.

Qi Kai looked at Zhao Lun respectfully and said, "His Highness is right. His Highness did go to see Wei Chen just now."

"What does he want from you?" Zhao Lun asked.

"His Highness wants the ministers to support him in becoming emperor," Qi Kai said.

Qi Kai knew that Zhao Lun would not believe anything else, but only this matter, Zhao Lun would believe it without a doubt.

Sure enough, Zhao Lun listened to Qi Kai's words, showing an expression of "as expected", and said: "I knew he would not give up so easily, how did you answer him?"

Zhao Lun knew very well that because of the old emperor's attitude towards him, even if he took out the will, there would be many people who doubted him now, and the eldest prince, even the second prince in prison, would not be willing to give up, so he did not doubt Qi Kai's words at all.

"I naturally rejected the eldest prince!" Qi Kai said without thinking: "Your Highness, you have the will of the previous emperor. With the will, you are the orthodox, and I naturally support you. Although the eldest prince is the eldest son, the previous emperor did not pass the throne to him, so I naturally cannot support him."

Hearing Qi Kai's words, Zhao Lun nodded with satisfaction and said: "You made a correct decision, this throne will only belong to me! No one else can get involved!"
