On June 23rd, nearly two months had passed since the night when Emperor Jiwu died. The Crown Prince, who suddenly slowed down his pace, finally, under the urging of civil and military officials, proclaimed his accession to the throne as emperor, and at the same time awarded him awards.
Ceremony.
"The auspicious time has arrived! Fire a gun salute..."
Following the shouts of the chief eunuch, the gates of the palace square were immediately opened. The sound of cannons and drums was loud. Thousands of officials from all walks of life and relatives of the emperor lined up and poured into the square in two long queues. Everyone
It is the most solemn court dress.
A high platform has been erected in front of the hall. Because it is still a period of national mourning, festive red is not allowed to appear. Not only is the high platform covered with a solemn black carpet, even the lanterns have turned blue, and the officials' court uniforms are all solemn.
Lord.
"Your Majesty! Please..."
A large number of officials surrounded Zhao Guanren, who was dressed in a black dragon robe, and came to the front on the right side of the high platform. Directly opposite was naturally the Yuan family headed by Hong Luan, and all officials of the Yuan family party were also present.
The officials of the imperial party were also clearly distinguished. Under the leadership of the prince and the brothers of the late emperor, they all stood in front of the high platform. There were hundreds of people in the crowd, and there were also a group of ladies from all walks of life.
Stand on the far right side of the square.
"This prince is trying to mess with us on purpose..."
Lu Datou stood behind Zhao Guanren and said with dissatisfaction: "You are going to get married in a few days, and he just happened to ascend the throne at this time. After the reward, there are a lot of etiquette, and the wedding will definitely be postponed. This delay
Maybe it will be August again!”
"Master Zheng! In fact, the wedding itself has to be postponed..."
An old prince stood nearby and said: "The envoy of Anchang State encountered a flash flood and arrived in embarrassment the night before. The princess's dowry was lost a lot, and it will take some time to buy it again. Moreover, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is in chaos. Someone
There is a rebellion!"
"What?"
Lu Datou said in surprise: "They are rebelling at this juncture. I think they don't want to surrender and are deliberately looking for things to delay time?"
"It's not them who are causing trouble this time, but the rebels I asked Shun Guo to support. They really rebelled..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "There was a general in Thailand named Bai Shayang. He was not only powerful but also wise. Later, I released a female onmyoji. She exposed the secret of the King of Heaven's corruption. As a result, the King of Heaven sent people to hunt her down. She was furious.
So we joined forces with others to rebel!"
"Hey~"
Lu Datou smiled and said: "It's really unlucky that my mother opened the door for me - unlucky as hell! Just when the king was about to commit suicide to thank the world, a tyrannical rebel suddenly appeared. Have they succeeded now?"
"The old king has committed suicide, and his head is ready to be transported to Kyrgyzstan to make amends, so Bai Shayang took advantage of the new king's distress to suddenly launch an attack..."
Zhao Guanren said: "More than half a month ago, Baishayang was besieging the capital. I heard that the army was defeated like a mountain, so the six princesses and princesses of Thailand might suddenly become refugees. Chiba Kei came to me crying the day before yesterday,
Let me help their family!"
"Do Thais survive by cutting off their arms..."
Lu Datou thought: "If the rebellion succeeds, the previous accounts will be wiped out. As long as Baishayang kidnaps the Thai royal family and sends them to the two countries to be disposed of, we will have no reason to ask them for money and give away concubines.
It can even turn into a marriage!”
"Master Zheng is indeed insightful, and we think so too..."
More than a dozen ministers nodded their heads, and a minister said: "The old king committed suicide. If we give him a new king to kill, both countries will have no reason to trouble them. Baishayang can make a legitimate marriage, and the concubine will become
Got a wife!"
"Ha~"
Zhao Guanren smiled disdainfully and said: "It doesn't matter who is in charge, if they don't bleed a lot, I will take their surname Qianye!"
"Your Highness!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel also said: "Almost all the important ministers and generals from all walks of life in the north of the Yangtze River were not present. Only adjutants were sent to take orders. The second and third masters Yuan also complained of illness in the north of the river. It seems that they are determined to cross the river.
It’s cured!” “After two months of waiting and watching, I finally took my side...”
The officials all straightened their backs. The battle for the throne in Kyrgyzstan was just a family fight. The common people were watching it as a show of excitement. But only people in the court knew that this was a major power reshuffle in Kyrgyzstan. Today is the real chapter.
time.
Zhao Guanren must be the most evil force in the history of Kyrgyzstan. Now most of the Jiangnan nobles are supporting him, and the merchants are even more one-sided. They do not rely on fists or money, but every family has a mother-in-law standing behind him.
Almost all of them were his father-in-law and uncle.
"My lords-in-law..."
Zhao Guanren turned around, cupped his hands and smiled and said: "We don't fight for the country, we don't take sides, we only consolidate the country and enjoy the country. No matter who is the emperor, we must be reused, so that our family can enjoy prosperity for generations to come!"
"Haha~ The wise son-in-law is right, we are all one family..."
All the officials laughed heartily. The best way to integrate into a circle was naturally to become relatives of their families, and Zhao Guanren was like a middleman, connecting them all and using his own brand to create a family business.
"The prince has arrived!"
The eldest eunuch suddenly shouted, and he saw the prince, wearing a golden dragon robe and a beaded curtain crown, striding out of the palace. On his left was the prince who was half a step behind. The couple were all dressed up, wearing all kinds of equipment.
Yu Xuan came to the high platform proudly.
"Eh? Is the Crown Princess happy..."
All the ministers looked at the Crown Princess in surprise. Although the Crown Princess was wearing a large phoenix robe, her girdle belly was obviously bulging, and her originally thin face was also much rounder.
"I'm so happy! It's been more than a month..."
The Crown Princess's family members were overjoyed, but the three elders looked strange, and they all subconsciously looked at Zhao Guanren.
Zhao Guanren picked his nose with a guilty conscience. He had no intention of keeping the prince alive at the beginning, so he naturally did not take any contraceptive measures. As a result, the princess was really good at giving birth, and she actually became pregnant in one go.
Fortunately, the Crown Princess's younger sister was clever. After discovering that her period had not come, she quickly disguised her with her aunt's cloth, and then let her seduce the Crown Prince and have sex with her once, and the blame was placed on the Crown Prince again.
"Burn incense! Offer sacrifices to heaven..."
The Minister of Rites personally presided over the heaven-sacrifice ceremony. The monks were already ready at the incense table. After the prince and the princess knelt down to burn incense, all civil and military officials also knelt down. However, during the national mourning period, it could not be held in a big way, so the ceremony was not so complicated.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor..."
When the prince took over the canonization scroll, thousands of people shouted long live the mountain at the same time. At this moment, the prince officially ascended the throne as emperor, and the princess was promoted to queen. The year was named Yongji. After the New Year, it will be the first year of Yongji.
"Emperor Jiwu probably never imagined until his death that his century-old dynasty only lasted for more than ten years..."
Zhao Guanren raised his head and looked at Emperor Yongji. Emperor Yongji did not look high-spirited, and his whole person was much calmer than when he was the prince. Next came the canonization ceremony of the prince and the princess.
"Oh~ I haven't seen Yongning for a month, and my belly is so big..."
Lu Datou raised his head in surprise and saw the emperor's grandson leading Yongning out of the hall. Little Yongning, who was nearly five months pregnant, had already become a young woman with a big belly. Even the loose robe could not cover her belly.
, but there was a strange girl following on her right.
"Hmph~ The Emperor is going to act like a monster..."
Zhao Guanren knelt down on one knee and sneered. The emperor's grandson's face was very ugly. After taking the two girls to the center of the high platform, he first carried out the canonization of the prince. After the ceremony, the crown prince and the prince's concubines were appointed, and they were
It's up to him to decide.
"Guan'er! You choose well, the Crown Princess will be your good wife in the future..."
Emperor Yongji was already sitting in front of the main hall, staring at his son thoughtfully. The queen sat next to him and seemed to be smiling. The maids immediately held out two trays, one with a handle of jade Ruyi on it, and the other with a handle of jade Ruyi on it.
Only the top is a sachet.
"I obey!" The prince wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. According to the rules of the Ji Kingdom's royal family, the one who gets what he wants is the prince's concubine, and the sachet is given to the concubine. But this time is different from the past. Zhao Guanren is watching eagerly.
Once Yongning becomes the crown princess, it will be difficult to get rid of her.
"Click~"
The prince tremblingly picked up Yu Ruyi and walked to Yongning with a pale face. Emperor Yongji immediately coughed heavily from behind. The prince's hand that he had just stretched out trembled suddenly and he subconsciously looked at the strange girl on the other side. The girl was looking at
Looking at him expectantly.
"Useless things! You can't even protect your wife and children. Just wait and collect our bodies..."
Yong Ning said something through his teeth. The prince's eyes suddenly turned sharp and he handed Ruyi to her with both hands. Emperor Yong Ji stood up in shock, and the princes in the audience also widened their eyes.
, no one could believe their eyes.
"Thank you for your kindness, Prince. I am not so lucky..."
Yongning actually slowly pushed Yu Ruyi back and said in a low voice: "After all, you and I are husband and wife. I don't want to see it difficult for you, but you must remember it. You owe our mother and son a blood debt. In this life,
If you act like a cow or a horse, you will be returned!"
"Yongning! Thank you, I will definitely repay you well..."
The prince was moved to tears. He walked up to the strange girl with a guilty look on his face, stuffed Yu Ruyi into her arms, then picked up the sachet with both hands and handed it to Yong Ning with tears in his eyes.
"[Literature Hall www.wxguan.vip] Bang bang bang..."
The audience immediately burst into warm applause. In fact, not only the emperor's family, but also many ministers were unwilling to let Yong Ning become the crown princess. After all, they were all foreigners. Now that Yong Ning has taken the initiative to decline the crown princess, his good reputation for general knowledge cannot be lost.
.
Next is the highlight of the day. The Ye and Yuan families recognized their ancestors and returned to their clan. Hongluan personally stepped forward and held out a luxurious longevity tablet. In large golden characters, it was written - Buddha illuminates, long live the ancestor of the current dynasty, Zhao.
The clan’s son will be blessed with longevity and wealth!
"Longevity Card? The ancestor of the Zhao family is still alive..."
All the officials in the audience were in an uproar. Everyone thought that Zhao Ziqiang was dead, but who knew that he was actually alive and kicking. However, after the descendants of the Zhao family boasted about it, they realized that Zhao Ziqiang had "become an immortal" and no longer care about the mortal world.
"The descendants of the Zhao family! All kneel down and recognize their ancestors and return to their clan..."
Hong Luan respectfully placed the tablet on the altar table. As Zhao Ziqiang's concubine, she stood alone on the high platform. Emperor Yongji had already come down with his wife and children and stood in front of the high platform with the descendants of the Yuan family.
, kneel three times and kowtow seriously.
"Boom~"
Sudden!
A lightning strike shook the whole palace, and everyone raised their heads in shock. Unexpectedly, the clear sky suddenly changed, with streaks of lightning crisscrossing the sky, strong winds suddenly picking up for no reason, and the sky suddenly turned dark.
It became dark.
"Oops! Five thunders struck the top, Hongluan come down quickly..."
Zhao Guanren screamed in horror, but before Hongluan could react, a thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck the top of the hall, blowing a big hole in the tile roof, and the wooden keel immediately ignited a fire, which frightened him
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"Everyone get down! Don't stand up..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly pushed Lu Datou to the ground, and then he heard several crisp sounds of "ka ka ka". Three bolts of lightning struck the palace one after another, smashing the glorious hall into a mess, and the last one actually struck another
It hit the high platform.
"Bang~"
A loud explosion shook the earth, and the lightning seemed to have eyes, hitting the Immortality Tablet without any bias. The Immortality Tablet immediately turned into a ball of ashes, and the altar table below was smashed into pieces.
"Why, how could this happen? Who is casting the spell..."
Lu Datou was dumbfounded and held his head. Ten thousand people in the whole square were also dumbfounded. Zhao Guanren said with a pale face: "It's not a magic! This is because God can't tolerate Zhao Ziqiang. Recognizing his ancestor and returning to his clan is provoking God. We
