Chapter 22 Proclaiming Emperor

In the original history, Liu Zhiyuan's proclaiming the emperor was not so complicated. After several rejections by his officials and the persuasion of officers and soldiers, he agreed. But this time, with Liu Chengyou's participation in the planning, the noise was huge. , after doing enough superficial work, a drama of "yellow robe and body" was added.

The yellow robes were all put on, and it was naturally impossible to go east to "rescue" today. Among the tens of thousands of troops, Liu Zhiyuan sounded depressed and depressed, and was helplessly "supported" and carried back the way he came.

"The emperor has returned to the city! The emperor has returned to the city!"

On Jinyang's side, the city gate was wide open, and more than a dozen knights flew straight in. They quickly shuttled through the streets of the city, repeating loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

In the past few days, the theme of the entire city has been "petition", "encouraging progress", and "supporting establishment". The scholars and the people were very sensitive. As soon as they heard this news, the people who were eating melons also quickly became interested.

In a shop, a few guests gathered together to drink and chat. Looking at the knights passing by, some people were a little confused and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say they were going to Hebei to rescue the emperor? We only set out early in the morning, and it only took half a day. Has it been rescued?"

There is no shortage of smart people in the market. After hearing what he said, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar smiled and replied: "The one who returns to the city is probably the new emperor!"

"The new emperor? Could it be the King of Peking?" There is more than one smart person.

"It has to be the King of Peiping!" the middle-aged man affirmed, raised his wine glass and shouted: "Everyone, the King of Peiping has ascended the throne, and the world has been saved. We will congratulate him and make it clear to all!"

The "enthusiastic" response in the shops was just a microcosm of Jinyang City. About an hour later, when the imperial driver returned, a large number of people gathered at the city gate and welcomed him "warmly".

As the imperial driver entered the city, all along the way he passed were the cheers of the soldiers and people in the city. Most of these people were deceived. In their view, the new emperor was "canonized" by them. The petition in front of the Prince's Palace in Peking that day, The effect is obviously very good.

When we arrived at Taiyuan Palace, we faced the palace gate wide open and didn't stop at all. We didn't stop until we were in front of the main hall.

Taiyuan Palace, especially the main hall, has obviously been carefully cleaned, and the entrance is completely new. All the palace gates have been occupied, and the roads are full of energetic guards.

In front of the palace, headed by Liu Chengxun, supplemented by Liu Chong, Yang Bin and other important ministers, a large number of civil and military personnel from Hedong were waiting for him early. When Liu Zhiyuan got off the car, they all bowed down and said: "I pay homage to your majesty!"

Liu Zhiyuan still only wore the yellow robe on his armor, probably to reflect his "voluntary" status. He glanced at the large group of people kneeling in front of him. He basically knew these people, but at this time But the mood is very different.

"My lords... come to peace!" His mood was obviously not as calm as that shown on his face, and Liu Zhiyuan's words had a slight tremor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A group of civil and military officials shouted in unison with excited voices.

Without saying anything more, he took a deep breath, and under the support of the crowd, Liu Zhiyuan walked solemnly towards the main hall, crossed the high threshold, and walked straight towards the throne.

Receive the registration in Taiyuan Palace, read the edict, hold the enthronement ceremony, and accept the worship of all ministers...

This series of events is actually enough to prove that Liu Zhiyuan's "yellow robe" was definitely not an accident. Yang Bin and others were really well prepared...

Inside and outside the main hall, there were many civil and military officials. Liu Chengyou knelt among them and glanced at Liu Zhiyuan on the throne very carefully. He was so tall and majestic, and with the blessing of supreme power, his aura seemed to be even stronger.

At this moment, Liu Chengyou could no longer contain his imagination. Sitting in that position, he saw what a beautiful scenery it was.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Liu Chengxun at the left side of the hall. Seeing his eldest brother's suppressed excitement, he couldn't help but frown. Under his inherent thinking, he must inherit this country in the future, but now, no matter how he looks at it, , how to compare, Liu Chengxun is the first heir.

After all, he is the prince of Peiping. He is old and virtuous, and he is loved by Liu Zhiyuan and respected in both civil and military affairs... And if he wants to ascend to the throne, unless Liu Chengxun suddenly falls ill like in history, this is also Liu Chengyou's inherent idea.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but think too much. What if there was an "accident"? Although Liu Chengxun's body was not strong, he had not experienced any serious illness or disaster. What if...

The more he thought about it, a dark little snake began to bite Liu Chengyou's heart bit by bit.

Amidst the shouts of "Long live" from the ministers, Liu Chengyou buried his head lower and lower, as if he wanted to hide his autistic expression, but he couldn't help but a variety of complicated thoughts and emotions emerged in his heart.

The enthronement ceremony was not very long, and all the rituals were simplified to the extreme, and could even be described as rudimentary. Among the civil and military officials in Hedong, there were not many knowledgeable people, and no one would take the trouble to propose the following procedures. The ceremony was held with cumbersome "old making and old rituals".

After accepting the homage, Liu Zhiyuan officially entered the Taiyuan Palace. The few maids, eunuchs, and various agencies in the palace were also busy. Tonight, the new emperor was going to have a banquet with all the ministers.

The ministers dispersed, the civil servants pacified the people, and the generals pacified the army, striving to ensure stability and order during the period when the new emperor ascended the throne.

There was no intention of appointing officials and honors on a large scale. The last scene itself was already a bit "fantasy". If even the list of meritorious deeds and rewards had been prepared in advance, it would be too fake.

However, Liu Zhiyuan boldly issued an edict to those middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers who fought hard to support him, asking Wang Zhang to send money and food from the treasury, buy wine and meat, and reward the three armies of Jinyang. To the sergeant.

Liu Zhiyuan seemed to attach particular importance to the army.

Liu Zhiyuan became the emperor, and the Peking Palace was automatically upgraded to a Qian residence. The news of his proclaimed emperor was immediately spread to the palace. The servants in the palace were jubilant and excited. The king became an official, and they, the real " "Chickens and dogs", naturally there are indispensable benefits.

Compared to the excitement of the people below, Mrs. Li showed a ladylike demeanor, calm and generous, even when she was happy, she seemed very calm.

When Liu Chengyou led people back to the palace, the joyful commotion in the palace had calmed down under the control of Mrs. Li, and everything was as usual. Liu Chengyou was quite surprised by this. After being respectfully guided by the servants into the palace, Liu Chengxun immediately came over excitedly. : "Second brother, has father really become the emperor?"

This kid is no longer afraid of Liu Chengyou's sima face.

"Yes!" Liu Chengyou nodded without a smile, then looked at him calmly and said calmly: "From now on, you will also be a nobleman, and you should set an example for others in every move you make, and you need to restrain your own behavior..."

"Why are you like my mother, always preaching when you open your mouth!" The young man was in high spirits, but obviously couldn't listen, so he complained slightly.

"Where's my mother?"

"In the main hall."

In the main hall, Mrs. Li and her concubines were waiting quietly, while Mr. Geng was also sitting in the corner.

Liu Chengyou was dressed in military armor and walked in with his guards vigorously. Li's voice was still so kind: "Erlang."

Meeting Li's gaze, Liu Chengyou bowed down first: "My father has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and I am here to welcome my mother into the palace!"

"From now on, you will be the most noble woman in the world, kind to the people, and a mother to the world!" On the way slowly driving towards Taiyuan Palace, Liu Chengyou approached the car and said to Mrs. Li in a rare initiative.
