Chapter 2978 Crowning Ceremony
In fact, after the New Year, Zhao Shu mentioned this matter to Yun Dai several times.
What he meant was that after the New Year, he would hand over the power and let Yan'er officially take charge.
But Yun Dai didn't agree, and still let him control it, saying that he would wait until Yan'er performed the crowning ceremony.
Zhao Shu didn't care about this.
He has experienced several generations of emperors, and many people think that he wants to usurp the throne and cover the sky with one hand. He never bothered to defend anything, what should be done or what should be done.
After all these years, no one doubts his motives.
He is a pure minister.
His assisting Yan'er was simply a matter of being entrusted by the late emperor.
In fact, children have been exposed to government affairs with their father since they were young, and they have already been able to handle government affairs independently.
Zhao Yuanjing arranged for Zhao Shu to be the regent simply to frighten the court.
To put it bluntly, I was looking for a thigh to hold my son and support him.
Yun Dai asked him to be the regent for a while longer, and he agreed.
In autumn, Yan'er's twentieth birthday is approaching.
The crowning ceremony is a big event, let alone the king of a country.
Men's crowning ceremony is somewhat similar to women's hairpin ceremony.
Yan'er invited the regent to be his official guest.
For this position, my father is the most suitable candidate, but since Zhao Yuanjing is gone, this position will be replaced by another highly respected person.
To this end, the imperial court's Ministry of Rites presided over a grand sacrificial ceremony.
The whole process is cumbersome and solemn.
Although Yun Dai participated in the whole process, she only watched.
For this formal occasion, she had to wear a dress that matched her status.
In every formal occasion in the past, she wore a queen's dress and stood next to Zhao Yuanjing.
Now, when she appears again, she can only wear the Queen Mother's dress.
She rejected the Queen Mother's dress from the bottom of her heart.
It's not that she can't face the changes in her age and identity.
She just couldn't accept that she could never go back to the days of holding hands with Zhao Yuanjing.
From beginning to end, she just watched from a distance.
She looked at Yan'er standing in the middle of the crowd, wearing a wide robe and long sleeves, and her hair was neatly combed into a bun.
She watched Yan'er walk up to Zhao Shu and let him put on the futou, hat and scarf for her.
That symbolizes heritage.
If Zhao Yuanjing was still here, he would be very happy to see his eldest son finally come of age and be able to take charge of his own affairs.
However, he could no longer see it.
Yun Dai raised her head and glanced at the sky, feeling her eyes were a little sore.
Baoxing supported her: "Queen Mother, you have been standing for a long time, and the crowning ceremony is almost over. I will help you go back and rest."
Yun Dai said: "I want to hear what name King Qin gave Yan'er."
Baoxing listened attentively for a moment and said with a smile, "It's the word Ren."
"Let it go?" Yun Dai smiled, "Sure enough, he has the style of a regent."
Zhao Shu's intention in giving Yan'er the name was to hope that he would take responsibility, do what he should do, and do the right thing. Don't be influenced by external things and be firm in your heart.
After the crowning ceremony is completed, the monarchs and ministers will return to the court to discuss the regent's resignation and the emperor's assumption of power.
This is nothing to discuss. From the end of the year to now, Zhao Shu deliberately stayed away from government affairs and let Yan'er make more decisions.
What's more, Zhao Shu has never stopped Yan Er from playing tricks.
Now it's just a formality.
Yun Dai stopped looking down.
In addition to spending time with her relatives and several children, most of her thoughts are on the iceberg thousands of miles away, in the locked hut of the Gu family.
