Li Xingchen never expected that he would come out like this. Even Pei Zilie, Gu Yewang and others were startled. Pei Zilie subconsciously thought that there was a rebellion outside.
"Let's go out and take a look." Li Xingchen said with a wry smile.
At this time, Chen Yu, dressed in plain clothes, walked up quickly through the royal road: "See your highness."
"What's going on outside?"
"The common people are willing to kowtow to invite His Highness to be the emperor." Chen Yu said hurriedly, but he wanted to say something else, and paused again. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "According to the white robe report, there should be Xiao family and Wu family.
, several aristocratic families of the Xu family are behind it."
According to Li Xingchen's plan, Baipao's main opponent is the foreign enemy, so this kind of information is not something Baipao should get involved in. However, Li Xingchen has just captured Jiankang Mansion, and it is impossible for Yu Linqi to get it from Baipao in a moment.
Take it all over.
"It makes sense," Li Xingchen said lightly, "the Jiangnan family is going to give a certain big gift together."
To be honest, Li Xingchen is not as high-minded as the people of the new era, especially in Jiankang Prefecture. The Southern Dynasties changed every 20 to 30 years, and the people have long been accustomed to it. If it were Li Xingchen in Bashu
It may still be possible to build the foundation that has been worked so hard, but Li Xingchen himself doesn't believe it.
It is obvious that the Jiangnan aristocratic family is behind this. If we really talk about the impact on the local area, the royal family may not be able to compare with these aristocratic families.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Nan Chen spent twenty years weakening the aristocratic family and re-employing the children of poor families, but in the end he only supported the new aristocratic family.
The palace door has been opened, and Li Xingchen strode out under the escort of Li Ping. Looking at the people on the imperial street, Li Xingchen couldn't help but take a breath. This is probably the entire Jiankang Mansion.
.
And the people outside the city knelt down in darkness: "We and the other people sincerely request His Highness the King of Han to assume the throne of emperor and preside over the throne!"
Li Xinchen immediately stepped forward to help the leading elderly people up: "Please get up quickly."
"The old man and others are the leaders on behalf of all the people. Only by agreeing to the requests of the people will the old man and the others dare to stand up." Several old people said hurriedly, "Your Highness, please don't refuse anymore. The land south of the Yangtze River and the world should be ruled by the emperor."
Take, I sincerely ask His Highness to assume the throne of Emperor."
"Your Highness, I sincerely ask you to assume the throne of emperor!" came another shout.
"Okay," Li Xingchen waved his hand immediately, "I agree!"
Now that things have come to this, it would be too hypocritical for Li Xingchen not to just give up.
"Long live my emperor!" Pei Zilie and Gu Yewang were the first to react and immediately fell to their knees.
"Long live our emperor!" The people in the darkness kowtowed and shouted again.
Li Xingchen took a long breath. In any case, he had finally reached this step. When the sound of the roaring mountains and the tsunami gradually dissipated, he stepped forward to help the elderly people up: "Old people, please stand up. From now on
From now on, as the king of the world, I shall take it as my duty to keep you well fed and clothed, and to bring peace to the world!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty——"
The shouts came again, and the courtiers following Li Xingchen, including Pei Zilie, Gu Yewang, glanced at each other subconsciously, their eyes moist.
When they were trudging along the mountain roads in central Sichuan, they couldn't imagine what it would be like today!
————————————
"Your Majesty, these are the detailed arrangements for his accession to the throne." Gu Yewang and Kong Fan strode after Li Xinchen, especially the old man Gu Yewang, who finally saw Li Xinchen achieve success today, which means that the choice he made at the beginning has been completed.
The positive result is that people are naturally in high spirits during happy events. The status of this founding hero is worthy of his hard work over the years.
Li Xingchen took it, glanced at it briefly, and nodded slightly: "As long as you see it correctly, did the East Palace send someone to tell them? How did Chen Shubao respond?"
"Chen Shubao accepts all your Majesty's requests. When the time comes, Chen Shubao will present the Jade Seal of the Kingdom to Your Majesty." Kong Fan said hurriedly. The most important part of Li Xingchen's ascension to the throne is naturally to take over the legitimacy of the throne from Chen Shubao, especially the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.
, this can mean that Li Xingchen succeeded to the throne in compliance with God's will.
"That's it." Li Xingchen nodded. In fact, his heart was no longer on this. The imperial seal was already in his hands. God's will and the people's hearts were here. Ascension to the throne was just a formality.
, Now Li Xingchen is more worried about the great court meeting after he ascends the throne. In view of the current chaotic political situation, he must make enough reforms, and how many people will accept it at that time and how many people will oppose it is a very serious question.
.
Wang Mang's rash reforms are not far behind.
Of course, Li Xingchen has also had an affair with Gu Yewang, Tang Yishun, Luo Ya and others among the civil servants. Among the generals, Pei Zilie and Chen Zhishen and other generals who will participate in the dynasty also know this, at least their core civil and military officials.
Knowing what he was doing gave Li Xingchen more confidence.
"It's getting late. You should go back and rest. You will still be busy tomorrow." Li Xingchen said with a smile. The nearest auspicious day is the day after tomorrow, so Gu Yewang and Kong Fan, the two people in charge of all etiquette,
We have to put everything in order within one day tomorrow. Fortunately, in Taicheng, the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Sheji, etc. are all available.
After the two people left, Cheng Feng walked over quickly: "Your Majesty."
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Cheng Feng seemed to have something he couldn't say, Li Xingchen frowned and winked at Li Ping behind him. Li Ping hurriedly told the guards behind him to keep their distance.
Cheng Feng then lowered his voice and recounted what happened in the East Palace today. Li Xingchen was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "You guys did a good job."
"But where is the queen?"
"A certain meeting will handle it. You don't need to worry about this matter," Li Xingchen's voice became colder, "There is no need to be so secretive in the future, just report it truthfully."
Cheng Feng shuddered: "No!"
Li Xingchen then said: "The Yulin Cavalry is about to expand. Let's take a longer view. Those remnants of the previous dynasty can only be educated."
Cheng Feng suddenly showed joy. This was Li Xingchen's trust in him: "The last general will live up to his command!"
Li Xingchen nodded and walked straight to the back hall. In any case, this girl Lechang had made a fool of herself today, and Li Xingchen also wanted to see how she would deal with it.
"Brother-in-law!" A small figure suddenly jumped out, making Li Xingchen startled.
"Ning Yuan, why are you here?" Li Xingchen touched the little girl's head.
"Brother-in-law, sister, she has been shutting herself up for a long time. Go and persuade her." Ning Yuan hurriedly pulled Li Xingchen's sleeves, "It's obviously those two bastards Chen Shuqi and Chen Shuwen, why are they like this?
Talk about sister!"
Li Xingchen gave a bitter smile and looked down at Ning Yuan. Princess Ning Yuan hesitated for a moment and then said: "You, did you also quarrel with your sister? Then, can I just go back to the East Palace?" (To be continued)
