A few days later.
Seven days had passed since the death of the old emperor. Under the arrangement of the Minister of Rites, a simple enthronement ceremony was held.
In fact, this is against the rules.
But considering the current chaotic situation, it is still necessary to announce to the ministers as soon as possible who the new emperor is.
Wait until everything is settled before holding a formal enthronement ceremony.
In this simple enthronement ceremony, the third prince was so proud that he put on the imperial robe and turned around and stepped onto the throne.
All of a sudden, all the ministers gathered together.
They knelt in the main hall and saluted him one by one.
Although many important ministers were reluctant, they still followed the trend and bowed together.
But at this time, after the third prince assumed the throne, he asked the chief eunuch to announce the decree.
"..."
"Canonize the eldest emperor brother as the virtuous king, and the second emperor brother as the loyal king."
The two royal brothers were given the title of two kings, one-word king, both of which seemed quite nice.
But everyone knew that this was just the beginning. In the future, the two brothers would have to let him plot to death.
Don’t forget those experiences from the previous period.
Then the third prince began to promote a large number of people to positions and titles.
Almost everyone has a share, which makes everyone feel a little more at ease.
Some people thought they could switch families in time and join the Third Prince.
Anyway, taking refuge in someone is not taking refuge in someone, and treating someone as a dog is not treating someone as a dog?
In the feudal era, the loyalty rate was very low, less than one percent.
Naturally, these people also knew that after the third prince's position was confirmed, a new purge would begin.
How can one switch families so cheaply? It's impossible.
Now is the time to test everyone's relationship skills.
But they don't know that the world is changing.
So-called relationships quickly become useless.
While the ministers were congratulating the new emperor, suddenly a man in black walked in at the door of the hall.
The man in black was seen walking silently, and it was the guard who saw him first.
At this time, the Minister of Rites, who was presiding over the ceremony, directly saw the man in black because he was facing the entrance of the hall.
"Who dares to break into Qianqing Palace privately!"
"Did you know that if you make trouble during the enthronement ceremony, you will kill the nine clansmen?"
The enthronement ceremony has a fixed process.
It's fixed when and who will show up.
It is absolutely impossible for an inexplicable person to appear in this ceremony.
Then when the man came closer, everyone was horrified to find that the man in black could not see his face at all!
He was not wearing any mask, but it was as if there was always a black cloth covering his face.
In fact, there was nothing on his face, just a black mess.
The nose and eyebrows can't be seen clearly.
Everyone looked at it and were suddenly surprised.
"Who is this person and why is he so dark?"
"Could it be that the Kunlun slaves paid tribute from somewhere?"
"Kunlun slave? Where is the Han general? Take him down quickly!"
Then two big Han generals, holding ceremonial sledgehammers, stepped forward directly.
However, before they could reach each other, everyone saw the man in black take two steps forward, and with lightning speed, he reached out and grabbed the two of them by the throat.
The next moment, the two guards were rolling on the ground holding their broken throats.
The pain was so painful that I couldn't speak. Soon my face turned blue and I suffocated to death in pain.
Then everyone was shocked.
"There's an assassin!"
"Come and protect the Emperor!"
"There are assassins, where are the guards?"
Soon the guards responsible for guarding the main hall gathered from the palace.
For a moment, under the command of several commanders, they jointly raised their bows and arrows, and immediately shot at the man in black.
Normally it is impossible for them to have arrows, because now it is a special tense situation, so they will string the bow and keep the arrow in their body.
However, facing the rain of arrows, the man in black immediately swayed from side to side and dodged the arrows one after another.
Everyone's eyes were dumbfounded.
However, then a hail of arrows fell.
This time, an arrow finally hit the man in black.
Before everyone could scream with joy, someone discovered that the arrow had passed directly through the man in black!
It's like falling on a shadow.
This is simply incredible.
"How is this possible? Why does it show through?"
Everyone was very panicked.
Only the eldest prince who had just been named "King of Virtue" was very happy.
This ghost's trick was really powerful, and it was not in vain that he secretly killed a hundred people to sacrifice him.
Of course, the place of killing was still in an underground cave, and the people killed were still homeless people, beggars, the old, weak, sick and disabled in orphanages...
He suppressed the joy in his heart.
【Okay, that's good, hurry up and kill!】
[The target is the New Emperor!]
As if hearing the eldest prince's voice, the man in black quickened his pace.
He started walking towards the third prince on the throne.
At this time, the third prince was already frightened and a little confused.
He quickly used the charcoal pen under his big robe to draw on a new painting.
What the picture shows is that the man in black will be beaten to death by several powerful men.
Wen Rensheng naturally knew that this man in black came from the eldest prince's resentment.
And the eldest prince, who used to be a high-ranking prince and the first heir to the throne and everyone wanted to fawn over him, has now fallen to the point where he can only be a prince in name only.
Soon the eldest prince will also taste the feeling of being bullied.
A seventh-grade county magistrate in a place may use the emperor's will to oppress him.
This is entirely possible.
Who has the upper hand between the vassal king and the local government depends on the emperor's will.
If the emperor wants a good reputation and a reputation for harmony among the royal family, he will suppress local bureaucrats.
On the contrary, if the emperor dislikes a certain vassal king, the local officials will make various deductions, which can starve people in the vassal king's family to death.
To be continued...
