Concubine Gaomen (3)

The ceremonial music of the enthronement ceremony was played, vigorous and solemn.

Ms. Gan got down from the chariot and stepped on the red carpet. She walked forward step by step. Flags were flying around her, and all she could see were people crawling at her feet. She walked forward step by step, her feet

She looked at the people around her and accepted these people's vague looks with various emotions. She knew that they were not convinced. But so what? Regardless of whether they were convinced or not, they all bowed down at this moment.

Lin Yutong knelt under the Nine-Dragon Jade Wall, above everyone. She was wearing an apricot-yellow dress that Gan had specially asked for. She looked at Gan standing under the Nine-Dragon Wall and stopped moving. She knew that,

According to the procedure, it was the officials who persuaded him to join.

Guo Changhe pursed his lips. At this moment, he wished he was not the prime minister. Otherwise, he would not have encountered such an embarrassing thing. He stood up, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"

After saying this, no one in the audience responded.

Lin Yutong frowned. This persuasion was originally a show. He asked all the officials to persuade him three times, and after the emperor refused three times, the emperor "helplessly" ascended the throne after the officials knelt down for a long time.

But now, Guo Changhe, the leader of hundreds of officials and the role of "leader" in persuading them to advance, said something, but no one responded. Not only was Guo Changhe embarrassed, but the most important thing was that Gan was embarrassed. At this point, this

How can the etiquette go down? These people are also cowardly, using the guise of not punishing the public under the law.

Lin Yutong had no choice but to stand up and salute again: "Prime Minister Guo persuades all officials to come in——"

A flash of astonishment flashed across everyone's faces. Princess Yunyin actually became the officiant herself. It was supposed to be 'Prime Minister Guo leads hundreds of officials to persuade people to join', but it was directly changed to 'Prime Minister Guo leads hundreds of officials to persuade people to join'. There is a one-word difference.

, meaning completely different.

Mrs. Gan nodded towards Lin Yutong, and Guo Changhe accepted his fate and shouted: "Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!"

Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, and the play could finally go on. But just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Gan went down without following the routine. She spread her arms and looked at the kneeling minister below, without saying anything about humility.

He didn't continue the drama of three persuasion and three rejection, but said directly: "I - I am ordered by heaven! I am the emperor, and I have to do my duty." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, and raised his feet to follow.

Go up the Nine Dragon Wall.

This reaction was really unexpected by everyone. However, Lin Yutong felt that this approach was very 'Gan's'. It was unscrupulous and unparalleled in domineering manner. What nonsense etiquette and regulations, no one cooperates, what's the big deal. If you don't persuade me, don't persuade me.

It's time to ascend the throne. You have the ability to bite me! Kneeling down one by one and silently resisting, what kind of ability do you have? It's still useless!

But unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred at this time. The originally beautiful spring weather was suddenly swept by a gust of wind. Lin Yutong was blown so much that he first raised his sleeves to cover his eyes, and his whole body seemed to be shaken by the wind.

She hurriedly looked towards Mr. Gan, only to see that Ms. Gan had only climbed three steps. How could she go up these ninety-nine and eighty-one steps? The wind blew her eyes hard and she couldn't move her legs. She felt terrified in her heart.

.The timing of this wind was too coincidental, and the blowing was too evil. I saw the lamps and candles used to worship heaven and earth on the high platform flickering on and off, and then suddenly extinguished. On both sides were the bright yellow flags held by the emperor.

Hui is also swaying in the wind.

This is a bad thing!

Lin Yutong's heart was lifted.

But this is not the end, there is really only worse, not the worst. The wind was originally blowing so hard that people could not open their eyes, but then, a stream of thick smoke mixed with the smell of burning rushed into people's noses.

.

Where did the smell of burning smoke come from? Is there a fire somewhere? Lin Yutong struggled to open his eyes and looked, and his heart went cold at this sight. A kind of burnt firewood is needed to sacrifice to heaven and earth. What is burnt firewood? It is the praise officer at the ceremony who is offering sacrifices.

On the platform, jade silk, sacrifices and other objects are placed on piles of firewood and burned. This is called burnt firewood. What is burnt firewood used for? Its purpose is the smoke after burning. This smoke should go straight up to the sky. It means to burn the firewood.

The news of the new emperor's accession to the throne was sent directly to Yutian. Under normal circumstances, there is no mistake. The day when Qintian supervises the election must be a windless day. In order to achieve the best effect, and in order not to affect the effect, the praise officials are all

He was very clever. He burned it while there was no wind. When the wind started to blow, he immediately closed the lid. This item of agenda was considered finished.

But this is when the evil started. As soon as the wind blew, the candles were extinguished first. The praisers who were originally holding the sacrificial jade, silk and other objects were frightened. I don’t know which one of them gave up the things in their hands because of this fright.

It fell and burned directly. The smoke that should have reached the sky was blown past Gan and the ministers below.

What does this mean? Doesn’t it mean that God doesn’t recognize it at all?

Lin Yutong reluctantly opened his eyes and looked towards Mr. Gan. What he saw was incredible. The person holding a bright yellow flag on one side of him. He didn't know whether his eyes were blurred by the smoke or the wind blew his hand and he couldn't hold it. It turned out to be...

He suddenly let go. When he let go, the banner swayed from side to side, but the man was already stunned. He was so stupid that he didn't know how to move. Then he watched the banner fall and hit Gan. The banner was entirely made of wood.

Yes, good wood is not light. Is it okay if it hits someone this time? Lin Yutong was so shocked by this incident that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. She couldn't care about anything, so she rushed over and blocked her.

In front of Gan, the flag hit Lin Yutong hard on the back. She couldn't control the pain and moaned. Gan was stunned for a moment, and there was even a trace of panic in her eyes. Even if she continued

No matter what, she was afraid of unknown things in her heart. Lin Yutong heard her murmuring: "The strong wind shook, all the officials tried to change things, and the ritual failed...could it be...that it was not allowed by heaven?"

This is the theory of telepathy between heaven and man. Since the previous dynasty, this theory of telepathy between heaven and man has been very popular. From the emperor to the common people, they all believe that heaven can influence people's affairs, predict disasters and good fortunes, and human behavior can also influence heaven. This is called

The interaction between God's will and human affairs. Therefore, if natural disasters such as drought and famine often occur in the world, the emperor will write an edict to accuse the world of his sins, and ask his subjects and heaven to self-examine and review his own mistakes. And the current strong wind will blow sooner or later.

Blowing, it happened to blow at this time, how could Mrs. Gan not reflect in her heart? After all, she had indeed risked the disdain of the world.

But now, we can only advance but not retreat! If we retreat, it will be a dead end.

Lin Yutong grabbed Gan's hand and asked in a loud voice: "Does your Majesty know about King Wu's attack on Zhou and the crossing of Mengjin?"

King Wu defeated Zhou and crossed Mengjin?

This allusion is familiar to everyone.

Lin Yutong's voice became clearer and clearer: "King Wu defeated Zhou and crossed to Mengjin. At that time, the waves of Yanghou struck against the current. The wind was strong and the waves were dark, and the horses and men could not see each other. At that time, King Wu held the yellow ax on his left and the white jade on his right, with angry eyes.

The Way of Luo. I am in charge of the world. Who dares to harm my will? Let the wind and waves stop."

A bright light flashed in Gan's eyes: "Yes! Who in the world dares to harm me!" After saying that, he pushed away Lin Yutong's support, stood up against the wind, and then turned to look at Yi who was kneeling below.

The minister, who covered his face with his sleeves, said loudly: "I am devoted to the service of heaven, and I am graceful and honorable. I am worthy of heaven! Even if there is a little haze, so what? The wind is strong and violent, and it can be broken by the wind, or it can be ridden by the wind.

Rise up! I am the first person in ancient times to ascend the throne as an emperor as a woman. Since God wants to test, then let it be a test! How can a mere haze stop my steps? Let the wind blow harder! I prove it

Show it to God! Prove it to everyone in the world! I can be the king of a country."

As he said that, he turned his head and walked up the stairs step by step in the strong wind. Ninety-nine and eighty-one steps, it was extremely difficult to walk.

When I finally reached the top, I sat firmly on the dragon chair. Strangely enough, the wind really stopped. It came and left as fast as it came. Lin Yutong really didn’t know at this moment that this was God’s will.

Or a coincidence.

But at this time, the wind died down and the smoke dispersed. The green smoke shot straight into the sky.

The ministers below were all confused. Especially those members of the clan. If the vision they encountered in Fengxian Hall that day could have been man-made, then what they saw in front of them was definitely not man-made. Who could the wind, rain, thunder and lightning be?

Can it be controlled? No one can! But how to explain the current situation? Is it really a test from God?

But no matter why, the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts was slightly suppressed. The main hall ended with three cheers of long live.

There was a palace banquet in the evening, but Lin Yutong was in the palace. Aunt He was holding medicine and applying medicine to her back. She was white and had tender skin, but she was hit hard on the back by dozens of kilograms of something.

A blue-purple scar was formed. There was faint blood oozing out from a few places on the edge, which looked scary.

"Amitabha!" Nanny He said while taking the medicine, "This is the Buddha appearing. He missed it by two inches and hit his head. Is this a good thing?" But he couldn't kill his life on the spot. "Either way, this is a good thing."

It has to be a kiss to be effective. There were so many people around, all dumbfounded, and no one thought to reach out to save him. His Highness was still connected to his master, mother and daughter. They must have been quite far apart at that time. If His Highness hadn't been really anxious.

How could they all rush over so quickly?"

Lin Yutong smiled and said, "Yes! God bless you." A big mistake almost happened.

The medicine was applied to the injured area, causing a bit of burning pain.

Aunt He applied the medicine and wrapped a thin white cotton cloth around her upper body. "It hurt a little at first, but then it got better. When I came just now, the master asked His Highness, tonight's

Can I attend the dinner? How about inviting the consort into the palace?"

Lin Yutong shook his head: "There is no need to invite the consort. Today is a special day. The Imperial Guards... Let's ask the consort to watch over it. We don't worry about others. As for the dinner party..." She said, asking Aunt He, "I

Mom, do you want me to participate, or don’t you want me to participate?"

Grandma He was stunned for a moment, glanced at the injuries on Lin Yutong's body, and then said: "If it doesn't hurt anymore, it's okay to show your face."

That's why I still hope to go by myself.

Lin Yutong nodded: "Then let's go and get busy. When it's almost time, send someone to call me. I'll take a rest."

"How is it?" Mrs. Gan saw that Grandma He was back. While the girls were changing her clothes, she asked her: "Can Yunyin participate in the evening?"

"Yes!" Nanny He whispered: "His Royal Highness said he would attend in the evening."

Mrs. Gan nodded with satisfaction: "Today is a special day, so I asked her to persevere." After saying that, she turned her face and asked Aunt He, "How is the injury?"

Nanny He's eyes were red, and she gestured with her hands: "It's so long...so wide...the bruises are a little black, and there's such a long...a bloody cut...the injury is not serious!"

Mr. Gan's brows furrowed: "Ask the Taiyuan Hospital to send a few more people to guard. If something goes wrong, don't even think about the head. The deacon who missed today will be sent to the Criminal Punishment Department first. Ming

Cut it off!"

But no matter how many people were killed, they were still injured. Aunt He pursed her lips, took two steps back, and responded: "I'll tell His Highness when I turn around."

Only then did Mrs. Gan sigh: "It hurts my body but hurts my mother's heart. What's more, she is trying to protect me... You are right, this child must be her own! At the critical moment, she can be relied upon."

Aunt He smiled: "The nature of mother and daughter is like this."

"Mommy..." Mrs. Gan's face looked a little sad, "She not only saved my life today, but also..." Without her encouragement, he might not have the courage to move forward.

.

No matter what, the enthronement ceremony has been completed. Gan is now an upright and upright emperor. As the first banquet after ascending the throne, the imperial dining room has prepared very carefully. Since then, there have been fewer and fewer masters in the palace.

From now on, even the chefs in the imperial dining room will have no use. Now it is a new dynasty, and the emperor has changed. Therefore, the preparations for the banquet are different from those in the past. In the past, it was done by each household.

A few. This time, it was set up according to the level of status. They were divided into upper table, upper middle table, middle table and lower table. The banquet was held in the imperial hall. All officials of the fourth rank and above had the banquet in the palace, and officials below the fourth rank enjoyed the banquet.
