Chapter 669 Edict of abdication

The people have never cared who is the emperor. As long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, they will be satisfied. If Xiahou Jing's army can bring a better life to the people, the people will naturally welcome it. But if they still want to plunder from the people's mouths

Food, then the people will definitely hate them.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. If a ruler loses all the support of the people, he will be doomed.

Yun Shang squinted her eyes, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly had some ideas. The Duke's wife was right, for that position, sometimes, it is appropriate to do whatever it takes.

Yun Shang raised the corners of her lips and laughed. Xia Houjing would do whatever it takes to get the throne. Naturally, she would do whatever it takes to deal with Xia Houjing. Xia Houjing was very peaceful, but he had to stand in the way of her and Luo Qingyan.

Shi, I can’t blame her.

Luo Qingyan saw that Yun Shang's smile was a bit mysterious, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Look, you are smiling with evil intentions. What are you planning?"

Yun Shang stuck out her tongue with a smile and said with a smile: "Your Highness is too worried, I have no idea." After saying that, she turned around and called Qin Yi to come in and prepare to wash up.

There is no conclusion yet on the robbery of relief supplies, but the closing ceremony has already arrived.

The day before, Xia Huanyu asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare a golden book, asked Hanlin scholars to write the inscriptions, and sent the newly-appointed Qin Tianjian and the Minister of Rites to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

On the day of the Queen's Ceremony, Yun Shang put on court clothes and went to Weiyang Palace early in the morning. Early in the morning, the phoenix chariot was already waiting in front of Weiyang Palace. Behind the phoenix chariot was a full guard of honor for the queen, including a crank-handled yellow umbrella and a straight-handled yellow umbrella.

Two, two fans, two gold horse machines, one gold chair, one footrest, one spit, one pot, one water bottle, one basin, two incense burners, two incense boxes, two bone flowers, four sticks, two oil beds, and red bird beds.

Two, fly whisk two, avoid element two, red skill four, one pair of gongs, one pair of drums, two trumpets, two signs, two war drums, two transverse flutes, two tie boards, one pair of small coins, one small gold, two large copper and gold

, cloud gong one, lock na two, trumpet two.

The Ministry of Rites has also sent a music club to wait in front of Weiyang Palace, and the entire gate of Weiyang Palace is bustling with activity.

When Yunshang entered Weiyang Palace, she saw the queen wearing a phoenix robe. The phoenix robe was bright red and embroidered with a phoenix wearing peonies. Among the eight colorful phoenixes, the peonies were blooming extremely beautifully.

After the palace servants arranged the hem of the phoenix robe, they took out the phoenix crown, which was inlaid with six dragons and three phoenixes. It was decorated with jeweled flowers, green clouds, green leaves and curly temples. The dragons and phoenixes were vivid in posture, and the jewels were golden and emerald in color.

Gorgeous and radiant.

Empress Hua originally looked graceful and regal, but now she wears this phoenix robe and crown, and she looks even more scornful of the world.

"The Empress is so beautiful today." Yun Shang looked at Empress Hua like this. Although she had read countless poems, there were only three words that came to Yun Shang's mind at this moment: "Beautiful."

Empress Hua turned her head slightly and looked at Yun Shang. The smile on her face was a bit forced, "If I dress like this every day, I will really regret coming back to the palace."

After a pause, he laughed again, "It's too heavy. I feel like I can pick up a twenty-kilogram sword. But as soon as the phoenix crown is pressed on my head, I feel like my neck is no longer my own.

Now I feel extremely painful even when I turn my head.”

Hearing this, Yun Shang hurriedly said: "The auspicious time has not yet come. If the Queen feels uncomfortable, please take off the phoenix crown first." After saying that, he stepped forward and took off the phoenix crown. Yun Shang frowned fiercely.

The ground wrinkled, and I was surprised. This phoenix crown was really not light. Even after holding it for a while, I felt very heavy.

When Empress Hua saw Yun Shang's appearance, she laughed and said softly: "Isn't it serious?"

Yun Shang nodded, Queen Hua's eyes fell on Yun Shang, she seemed to be thinking a little, and said with a smile: "Don't laugh at me, I will just pass it by this day, will you suffer any offence in the future?"

.”

Yun Shang didn't come back to her senses for a moment. She didn't know why Empress Hua said this, so she just smiled and didn't respond.

Empress Hua then talked to Yun Shang for a while, and then a palace official hurried in and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come. Please hurry up and put on your phoenix crown and get on the phoenix chariot."

Empress Hua responded and had someone put the phoenix crown back on her head and fixed it carefully before she stood up and slowly left the Weiyang Palace with the help of several palace attendants.

Outside Weiyang Palace, the phoenix chariot and the Queen's ceremonial guard were ready, and the music of the music club was played. The palace people helped Queen Hua get on the carriage, and Fang Yang said in a loud voice: "The Queen, please drive."

Yun Shang was about to retreat, but the queen held her hand, "Let's go to Tai Chi Hall together, I'm a little at a loss."

Yun Shang was slightly startled when he heard this, but he quickly agreed.

The Queen's ceremonial guard slowly walked from the Wuyang Palace to the Tai Chi Hall. Along the way, the palace people knelt on the ground. Yun Shang followed the Feng Chariot and quietly followed the Feng Chariot to the Tai Chi Hall.

Arriving at the long steps in front of the Taiji Hall, the queen slowly stepped down from the phoenix chariot. On the stone steps, hundreds of officials were lined up on the left and right, all leaning down to wait. At the top of the steps was Xia wearing a dragon robe.

Universe.

Empress Hua stepped on the footstool and slowly got off the phoenix chariot. She raised her head and looked at Xia Huanyu at the top, curled her lips, and slowly climbed up the steps.

The bell on the bell tower rang, Queen Hua's footsteps were silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Queen Hua. On the phoenix robe, the colorful phoenix was dazzling, spreading its wings, and the peonies were delicate, noble and gorgeous.

It took almost a stick of incense for Queen Hua to reach the top of the stone steps. Xia Huanyu stretched out his hand with a rare smile on his face. Even the scar looked a little softer. Queen Hua put her hand

She fell into Xia Huanyu's hands and walked slowly to Xia Huanyu's side. Xia Huanyu held her hand and walked to the front of the Tai Chi Hall.

In the Tai Chi Hall, there are harps and zithers hanging, which symbolize the harmony of the harp and harp. Xia Huanyu and Queen Hua entered the Tai Chi Hall together, and the civil and military officials behind them also walked into the Tai Chi Hall. In the Tai Chi Hall, the festival table is placed in the middle of the hall, facing south.

, the registration case is located on the left to the west, the jade case is on the right to the east, and the queen worships in front of the incense case.

When the auspicious time came, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Rites held the gold book, the gold treasures and the inscriptions in the book, and read the inscriptions aloud, then presented the gold book, the gold treasures, the inscriptions, and the inscriptions to the queen, who took them.

Come over, walk slowly to the incense table, put everything on the place of worship, take the incense from the waiter, and kneel down.

Xia Huanyu personally helped the queen to stand up, and the two of them walked to the dragon and phoenix chair together. The Minister of Rites quickly said loudly: "After the ceremony, all the officials will pay their respects."

All the officials knelt down on the ground and bowed three times to the emperor and empress, saying, "May your Majesty be safe, may the Queen live a thousand years."

Yun Shang was wearing court clothes and knelt beside Luo Qingyan, but her brows furrowed slightly, with a bit of uneasiness in her eyes. As the crown princess, she should not come to the ceremony. But just now she agreed to become the queen.

request, but now my heart is beating a little too hard, and I always feel like something is going to happen.

As if aware of Yun Shang's uneasiness, Luo Qingyan quietly pulled Yun Shang's sleeves, and when Yun Shang looked over, she looked at Yun Shang and smiled gently.

Yun Shang felt warm in her heart and lowered her head slightly. She felt as if she had found her backbone. It was very good. With Luo Qingyan here, what did she have to fear?

Xia Huanyu glanced at Baiguan lightly, and Fang raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "I have only a few years left in my life. In this life, there are three things that make me feel that my life has not been in vain.

As an emperor who has been an emperor for thirty years, although he is not praised by thousands of people, he has not made any big mistakes. Secondly, although the person he loves deeply has been separated for nearly thirty years, but in the end, after all the twists and turns, I still find him.

He returned her. The third one is Prince Xia Qingyan, who is both civil and military, a talented person in governing the country, and has a successor for the Xia Kingdom."

Yun Shang listened to Xia Huanyu's words with emotion in her heart. What Xia Huanyu said made her feel a little emotional. People only have a few decades to be able to complete the unfinished regrets of the previous life like her in one life.

After all, they are still in the minority. How to make yourself feel that you have memories in your life when you are old and that you have not let down the past decades is not an easy task.

"Today, I can stand here hand in hand with the queen, and I feel that my life has been complete. It has been thirty years. I have been alone on this throne for thirty years, and I am a little tired. Today, I am here

Here, there is another imperial edict, Liu Wen'an..." Xia Huanyu raised his voice and called out.

Liu Wen'an responded quickly and stood up two steps, holding an imperial edict in his hand: "I have been on the throne for thirty-two years. The seas and rivers are clear, and the world is peaceful. The people are safe, the officials are clear, and the king and his ministers are harmonious. My virtue is comparable to that of the sages.

, I look forward to future generations for their merits. The Crown Prince Xia Qingyan has a noble character and is worthy of my bow. His determination cannot be taken away from him, and his ambition cannot be swayed by great confusion. I want to convey my greatness to the Crown Prince Xia Qingyan. Important ministers should be careful in their work.

Assist Bi and help the country together."

After Liu Wen'an finished reciting the imperial edict, he folded it up. There was silence in the palace, as if he was overwhelmed by this sudden imperial edict and didn't know how to react.

Yun Shang raised her head in confusion and looked at Luo Qingyan beside her. Luo Qingyan also had some doubts in his eyes and his body was trembling slightly, but he didn't make the slightest move.

How could this happen? How could Xia Huanyu suddenly issue an imperial edict at the ceremony of enthroning the throne?

Yun Shang's heart was filled with all kinds of reasons, but her mind became unusually clear. No, it was not sudden at all. These things were clearly planned by Xia Huanyu. No wonder, no wonder he was there that day

The palace suddenly said such strange words.

He said, "I completely understand the grievances I feel in my heart, but for many things, what I see with my eyes may not be true. One day, he will understand why I arranged it this way, and that day is not far away."

Could this be what Xia Huanyu was referring to that day?

No wonder, no wonder the relief supplies were robbed, Luo Qingyan asked for orders to go to Liu Cang, but Xia Huanyu insisted on letting him wait until the ceremony of enthroning the queen before leaving. No wonder before, in the Weiyang Palace, Queen Hua asked her not to laugh at her, saying that she only had this

One day passed and passed, but Yun Shang would be offended in the future.

No wonder...(To be continued)
