When Niu Qianren received the letter, all officials of the seventh rank and above in Jinling City received it.
Huairen also received the letter. After reading it, he understood what it meant.
"Great, tomorrow!"
Huairen read the letter and immediately put on his court clothes and sat down.
He didn't want to sleep anymore and planned to just wait.
Wait until daybreak and then enter the palace.
Marquis Wu's horses ran back and forth, and the officials and people of Jinling City spent a sleepless night.
Wu'an Prince's Mansion.
It was still dark at this time, and Li Zhaoliang was already dressed and ready to go.
The dragon robe on his body was made very delicately, he had a crown on his head, and the beads were swaying. You could see his tired face mixed with excitement and nervousness.
Liao Houqi was also very excited. After ascending the throne today, he will be the eunuch next to the emperor.
Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.
Everyone has a desire to compare, and so do eunuchs.
Liao Houqi also wanted to become a eunuch like Zhong Gui and Yu Fuguo, with real power in his hands.
Of course, it is just to become Zhonggui and Yu Fuguo. From eunuch to King of Wu like Long Chen, Liao Houqi did not dare to ask for it.
"Your Majesty, it's time to drive."
Liao Houqi said excitedly.
Li Zhaoliang nodded slightly and walked out of the room. There was a Kowloon chariot parked in the yard.
This Kowloon chariot belonged to Li Chengdao, and Liu Lan pulled it out.
Liu Lan stood beside the chariot and bowed: "Your Majesty, please board the chariot."
Li Zhaoliang got into the car and sat down with a smile. Liu Lan shouted loudly: "Get off!"
Marquis Wu immediately opened the way, followed by Song Ding leading the imperial army, and Li Zhaoliang's Nine Dragon Chariot in the middle.
Liao Houqi followed the Kowloon chariot out and drove toward the palace.
When the sun rises from the east, the shops open their doors one after another, and Jinling City wakes up again.
The people feel that there is something different in Jinling City today, and they always feel that the atmosphere is a bit strange.
"The new emperor has ascended the throne, the new emperor has ascended the throne"
A group of children chased each other, talking about the new emperor's ascension to the throne.
The people were very confused. Yesterday it was said that Li Zhaoliang would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor today. Does this mean he would proclaim himself emperor?
Everyone is looking forward to it.
These days were so miserable that they hoped to have a new emperor who would be better than Li Chengdao.
The ministers who went to court were very nervous when they heard what the child said.
Some ministers ride horses, some ministers ride in cars, some ministers ride donkeys, and some go on foot.
When we met on the road, the ministers discussed with each other:
"Master Xu, did you receive the news last night?"
"Yes, I was already asleep last night when Marquis Wu suddenly delivered a message."
"Me too, why are you delivering the letter in the middle of the night?"
"I heard that the emperor had an urgent edict, so I sent the letter in the middle of the night."
Everyone was worried and had their own speculations, but no one said anything.
The new emperor's enthronement was too sensitive and no one dared to say it.
The palace door opened wide, leading directly to the Fengtian Palace in the north. Ministers entered one after another. There were Marquis Wu and the Imperial Guard inside to maintain order.
The courtyard in front of Fengtian Hall is very large, with signs erected inside, and the ministers who enter stand in different areas according to their grades.
The minister entered slowly. The area at the back was quite full, but there was no one at the front.
The most high-ranking ministers in the court were all taken away by ghost fetuses.
In addition to the six ministers, some extremely high-ranking officials, such as the general affairs department and the chief officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, were all taken away.
The purpose of Guite's doing this is very simple, which is to take away the chief officer and prevent trouble in the rear.
When Mao hour came, almost all the officials of the seventh rank and above in the imperial court came, and there were also some who were more alert, but they couldn't go out because they were sick.
Long Chen stood on a high place, overlooking the square of Fengtian Palace.
Back then, he often followed Long Ye here, but he never expected that when he came to Fengtian Hall again, Li Zhaoliang would seek power and usurp the throne.
Li Chengdao gained the throne through rebellion and rebellion, and now Li Zhaoliang is doing the same thing. This is a great irony.
Supporting Li Zhaoliang to become emperor was not only to attack Li Chengdao, but also to disgust him.
The officials slowly gathered together, and everyone who was supposed to come came. Those who didn't came just didn't dare to come.
Long Chen came down from the height and saw Liu Lan and Song Ding in the room.
The two of them have met now and know that they are in the same group.
"Seal the palace, no one is allowed in or out!"
"Jinling City is under martial law, the city gates are sealed, and no one is allowed in or out!"
Long Chen gave the order, and Liu Lan and Song Ding immediately sent people to do it.
Jinling City and the Imperial Palace were sealed off at the same time. No one could get out. Everything was under Long Chen's control.
"It's almost time, Eunuch Liu, it's up to you."
Following Long Chen's instructions, Liu Lan slowly stood up, straightened her clothes, and strode out towards Fengtian Hall.
Entering Fengtian Hall, Liu Lan stood next to the dragon chair. Inside the hall were ministers from various ministries.
After the ministers and chief officials left, they became the highest officials in each ministry.
Seeing Liu Lan, the ministers from various ministries immediately gathered around and asked: "Eunuch Liu, you said that the emperor has a secret edict, what exactly is it?"
Liu Lan ignored it and shouted loudly: "No noise in the court!"
Everyone was unhappy, but Fengtian Hall was the place where people went to court, so they couldn't make any noise, so they had to retreat to their own trains.
Liu Lan stood on top, looked down, and suddenly shouted: "The emperor has arrived!"
This shout made everyone look at each other in shock.
Their first reaction was that Li Chengdao had returned from the front. Then they thought of Li Zhaoliang's rebellion, and couldn't help but wonder, who is this emperor?
Tap tap tap
Hundreds of soldiers came out from both sides of the hall and stood guard on both sides. All the ministers in the hall were surrounded.
While everyone was in shock, Li Zhaoliang, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, came to the palace surrounded by Song Ding and Huairen.
Seeing Li Zhaoliang, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
The so-called emperor's edict is false. The real purpose today is for Li Zhaoliang to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
However, it was too late to realize this.
The palace gates are closed and are guarded by soldiers. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!
Li Zhaoliang slowly walked onto the dragon chair and was immediately greeted by Liu Lan. Liao Houqi was on the left and Liu Lan was on the right. The two of them helped Li Zhaoliang sit down on the dragon chair.
Looking at the civil and military officials in the hall and outside, Li Zhaoliang was excited.
He had seen this dragon chair countless times, but he never thought he would be able to sit here one day.
Anyone who coveted the throne was killed.
Even if he had no covetous intentions and was just a threat, he was still killed by Li Chengdao.
Things that I couldn't even imagine before, I actually got today.
Of course, Li Zhaoliang still thinks this is what Li Chengdao meant.
It was not that he was seeking to usurp the throne, but that Li Chengdao gave him the Zen throne.
Li Zhaoliang thought to himself: Brother Emperor, I have proclaimed myself emperor, and the foundation of Daliang has been preserved.
Li Zhaoliang never expected that all this was Long Chen's conspiracy.
"The new emperor ascends the throne and accepts congratulations from all officials!"
Liu Lan shouted loudly, and the soldiers and eunuchs standing at the door followed suit and shouted together: "The new emperor has ascended the throne and accepts the congratulations of all officials!"
These people were like megaphones, one by one, until everyone in the square heard.
