Ye Yuncheng looked at his father, who had disappointed him so much, and roared with a livid face,
"You are a fool, a complete fool. For your so-called immortality, you believed in the lies of people from the Western Regions and killed so many innocent people. My seventh uncle is right, you are not worthy of being the emperor."
The emperor squinted at him and suddenly sneered,
"Hahaha... I am a foolish king? My son calls me a foolish king? As the king of a country, is it wrong for me to want to live forever? What right do you have to scold me? You were fooled by Ye Shihan, a scum who wants to kill the king.
Are you lost? I am your father and the person who is related to you by blood. No matter what he says to you, he has other motives. Don’t be deceived by him."
"How dare you say that you are my father? My father wants my life? My father killed my mother and his two other sons. You have no qualifications to be a father."
"What did you say? What happened to Zhe'er and Nian'er? What happened to them?"
"They were killed by Davar's men, all thanks to you."
Hearing these words, the emperor suddenly fell to the ground like a deflated balloon and murmured:
"My son, all my sons are dead? No, no, you must be lying to me, they will not die!"
Seeing him not daring to accept the facts, Ye Shihan said coldly again:
"You are the only emperor in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. All your ministers were imprisoned by the people from the Western Regions. Although they did not die, they lost half of their lives. In order to save the face of you as the emperor, you voluntarily abdicated and took the throne.
Pass it to Prince Ye Yuncheng!"
Although the emperor was still immersed in his dream of immortality at this time, he also knew that his position was over, and these people in front of him were here to force him to abdicate.
He suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, "Hahaha... Since ancient times, the emperors who have been forced to abdicate have always been of foreign surnames. Today, my own son and younger brother came to force me to abdicate. It can be regarded as God's foresight and did not let the Eastern Jin Dynasty fall into the hands of people with other surnames."
I am satisfied with what I have in my hands."
After saying this, he suddenly picked up a long sword on the ground, and just as he was about to wipe his neck, Ye Shihan kicked the long sword directly, and the long sword fell to the ground. He said coldly:
"Do you want to die? Don't worry, I won't let you die. You have to live. You have to see how your son becomes the emperor."
After saying this, he said coldly to the bangs behind him:
"Lock him into the cold palace, the same cold palace where the queen lived."
"Sir, it was burned beyond recognition."
"No problem, let's get it repaired later so that the late emperor can enjoy his blessings there!"
Liu Hai nodded, waved his hand, and two guards came up from behind. Each held an arm and took the emperor, whose legs were weak, out.
Su Muer looked at his leaving figure and asked in confusion:
"Why not let him commit suicide out of fear of crime? He deserves to die..."
"He deserves to die, but Cheng'er cannot be charged with patricide. Let him die on his own!"
At this time, Shadow said on the side:
"Yes, let him live in fear. The queen will come out to settle accounts with him in heaven, and the ghosts of those who died unjustly will not let him go."
Seeing everyone's relief, Ye Shihan said solemnly:
"Shi Ziqiang, let the officials of the Ministry of Rites prepare for the new emperor's enthronement."
Shi Ziqiang hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted, "I understand, I'll do it right now!"
Everything was over, and it was three days later!
A country cannot live without a king for a day, so today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne, with the sun shining brightly.
Ye Yuncheng was sitting in the main seat in the main hall, and below him stood a group of veterans who had been imprisoned in the prison.
Those invited by him to attend his enthronement ceremony included Ye Shihan, Su Muer, Bai Chen, Yingying, Shi Ziqiang, Juanzi, Liu Hai, Xiao Yuanyuan, Biaozi and Doudou.
The father-in-law held the imperial edict in his hand and bowed solemnly to the emperor. After receiving the emperor's signal, he began to face the crowd and slowly read out the contents of the imperial edict.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict that the late emperor passed away due to illness and the country could not live without a king for a day. The current prince Ye Yuncheng succeeded to the throne in accordance with the law and became the 15th emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. I admire this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers hurriedly knelt down and shouted,
"Blessed be the emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Pingshen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
After the ceremony, the emperor once again spoke of the fairness of the decree:
"Read my imperial edict!"
The father-in-law nodded to accept the edict, then took out another imperial edict and read:
"According to the emperor's edict, I hereby appoint Ye Shihan as the seventh prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to assist me in handling state affairs. His position is below the emperor and above everyone else. I am also given a sword by Shangfang. This sword can knock you unconscious when you go up.
Slanderous officials."
The meaning of this sentence is clear. This sword of Shangfang can even strike against him, the emperor. This imperial edict can clearly show the degree of trust the new emperor has in Ye Shihan.
Ye Shihan hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "I thank the Lord for your kindness. I will do my best to assist the Emperor."
The father-in-law paused and then said:
"Confess Bai Chen as General Huwei, in charge of the military affairs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and give him a tiger talisman to command all soldiers."
Bai Chen was stunned for a moment, then the shadow pinched him, and then he recovered and hurriedly saluted.
"I must live up to the emperor's expectations and serve the country wholeheartedly."
"Feng Shi Ziqiang was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his official position was ranked first."
Shi Ziqiang didn't expect that he would be promoted, so he hurriedly thanked and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
"Confess Liu Hai the title of Cavalry General, and use it under the command of the Seventh Prince. He will be given a residence."
Liu Hai hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted, "I thank you, Lord Long, for your kindness."
The father-in-law then read:
"I specially designate Su Liyang as a second-grade hussar general and a young prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He enjoys the double salary of a general and a young prince, and is rewarded with a mansion."
Doudou was a little surprised. He didn't expect the emperor to give him such a high title. He hurriedly shook the hem of his clothes, cupped his fists and saluted:
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will fulfill my mission and share Your Majesty's worries."
The emperor nodded slightly, then waved his hand,
"I still have a few more decrees, I will read them out myself."
After saying this, he looked at everyone with a solemn expression, and then said:
"On the day of the enthronement ceremony, I will announce two major events. The first one is that I will grant marriage to Ye Shihan and Su Mu'er. Your marriage ceremony will be held in accordance with the highest marriage etiquette among the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
After hearing the emperor's words, Su Mu'er was a little surprised, but Ye Shihan was the first to react. He clasped his fists and said:
"I thank you Lord Long for your kindness."
The emperor nodded and said again:
"Su Mu'er has made great contributions in the war to eradicate the invading Western Region people. I specially appoint her as the Imperial General. Bai Chen, Liu Hai, and Su Liyang will all be under your control."
Su Mu'er was a little stunned, while Bai Chen and Doudou were a little surprised, but they didn't complain.
She had not yet reacted to the emperor's offer of marriage just now, and now he suddenly granted her an official position. This really surprised her, but she still accepted it happily and saluted to express her gratitude.
The emperor nodded slightly, then looked at Xiao Yuanyuan standing at the back,
"I am able to stand here thanks to the rescue of one person. She is Xiao Yuanyuan. Therefore, today I designate her as my imperial sister and the eldest princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
This reward surprised Xiao Yuanyuan. She looked around and saw everyone looking at her with blessings. She pointed at her nose with her hand at a loss.
"Is the Emperor talking about me?"
The emperor smiled and nodded, "Of course it's you, Sister Xiao. If you hadn't saved me that day, I might not be where I am today, so you deserve this title."
Xiao Yuanyuan hurriedly bowed and saluted, and Biaozi behind her was also happy from ear to ear.
The emperor continued:
"Now I will grant the marriage of Xiao Yuanyuan, the eldest princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to Wang Biaozi, and give you a palace for the prince-in-law. Wang Biaozi will serve as the head catcher in Shuntian Mansion."
Biaozi froze on the spot as if he didn't understand. Xiao Yuanyuan pushed him a little embarrassedly.
"Brother Biaozi, you still don't thank me."
Only then did Biaozi realize what was going on. He knelt down in a hurry,
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will be kind to the eldest princess for the rest of my life."
The emperor smiled and nodded, "Okay, then you and the Seventh Prince will get married according to palace etiquette."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuanyuan's face blushed shyly, and Biaozi hurriedly thanked him again.
The emperor glanced at everyone and then said:
"You are all indispensable contributors to my ascension to the throne, so I hope that you can help me to be the emperor in the future. I am still young and do not understand state affairs. From now on, the affairs of the court will be decided by the seventh uncle.
."
Hearing the emperor's words, Ye Shihan couldn't help but frown. He didn't like dealing with state affairs, and he planned to take Mu'er to go sightseeing.
However, it is true that the new emperor is still young and does not understand state affairs, so he cannot leave the emperor's side at the moment. This can be considered responsible for the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
So he nodded in agreement, "I will do my best to share the emperor's worries. When the emperor can handle the government affairs alone in the future, I will take the initiative to step aside."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, "Everyone has been tired recently, so go back and rest early. The wedding ceremony will be held in the palace in three days. I will leave it to the Ministry of Etiquette to handle it. The wedding clothes will be delivered to your homes tomorrow.
As for the decoration of your mansion, it’s up to you to do it yourself.”
Ye Shihan, Su Muer, Biaozi, and Xiao Yuanyuan hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
After the ceremony, everyone left one by one.
Just as he walked out of the entrance of the hall, Doudou suddenly became excited.
"It's so great. I couldn't help but get promoted. I can also attend the wedding ceremony of my father and mother. I am afraid that my son can attend the wedding ceremony of his biological father and mother. I must be the first person since ancient times."
Su Muer glanced at him helplessly, then smiled bitterly,
"You are still happy. If I get married to your father, you will have to change your name to Ye."
Doudou's expression was a little gloomy, "I don't want to change it. I still don't know if Mr. Zhuang has cured his second uncle. If he can cure his second uncle, I will change my surname to Ye, otherwise my surname will be Su."
