After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

The Qinghe Hall, where the new emperor resides, was newly decorated and filled with joy.

Wen Chengyu opened the palace door and walked slowly onto the platform under the guidance of the official from the Ministry of Rites.

Everyone's eyes were looking up at the young emperor who was not even twenty years old.

The black crown was embroidered with the twelve emblems representing imperial power, making the young emperor look even more majestic.

Many people did not expect that the one who would eventually ascend the throne would be such a sickly prince.

The other princes had been fighting fiercely for so many years, but in the blink of an eye, a sickly guy who posed almost no threat reaped the rewards. Who could tolerate this?

Yuan Qing guessed that something unexpected would happen at the coronation ceremony, so he had already taken precautions.

She thought of all the possibilities, including raising an army to rebel, assassinating on the spot, or poisoning him beforehand.

But the series of events that happened on the day of the ceremony were indeed somewhat beyond her expectations.

The first to take action were the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince, who were usually the most active.

These two people don't have any great abilities, and are instigated by people around them to participate in the struggle for imperial power all day long.

"If you can flatten this palace for me, you will be granted a title of nobility in the future!"

The fifth prince raised his finger and pointed to the imperial city, assuring the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers behind him all had a look of disdain on their faces. They shouted a few times in a pretentious manner, then lowered their heads and dozed off.

But this Fifth Prince got his confidence from nowhere. He rode on his horse with such a fierce look on his face, and he actually regarded himself as a righteous army that could save the country and the people.

Yuan Qing: "..."

This guy is even dumber than Roudun'er.

No, it cannot be called stupid, it should be called mentally retarded.

With a team of several thousand people, he managed to perform with the momentum of hundreds of thousands of people. I really admire him.

However, these two guys were probably fooled.

Civil and military officials all turned their heads and covered their faces.

They have the same father, why is there such a big difference?

It was the Eighth Prince who was standing beside him who whispered in his ear, "Fifth Brother, restrain yourself. We are here to rebel, not to save the emperor."

Although Wen Chengyu's expression did not change, people who knew him well knew that the disgust in His Majesty's eyes was almost overflowing.

How could a mere few thousand men, or some scattered soldiers and generals, defeat the carefully trained Imperial Guards?

After a while, those who shouted the loudest were all captured by the Royal Guards and taken to jail.

Seeing this, the other soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt down in surrender.

They had no intention of rebelling and surrendered quickly and efficiently.

The two princes were dumbfounded.

Where are their people?

What about moving into the palace?

Didn’t we say we would come together? Where are the others?

The two princes tried desperately to look into the crowd, but their mouths were blocked and they could not utter a word.

Yuan Qing kept an eye on the movements on the field and secretly ordered Roudun'er to go in stealth and investigate in the direction they had just looked.

Wen Chengyu waved his hand and the two were dragged away.

They are just pawns thrown out and there is nothing to be afraid of.

What he was waiting for, instead, were the sharp claws hidden behind the tigers and wolves. It would not be easy to catch those people.

The ceremony continued.

[Sister Qing, I found it. ]

Roudun'er flashed back to his sea of consciousness to report.

[How confident are you that you won't be discovered?] Yuan Qing must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Roudun'er patted his chest and said, "As long as I am not struck by the lightning of heaven, I can remain invisible for half an hour."

The weather changes in the original book happened to occur during the new emperor's sacrifice to heaven and earth.

Therefore, in his previous life, Wen Chengyu was criticized by people all over the world, saying that he was an unlucky emperor.

He was depressed and his body did not receive adequate treatment and recuperation, so he was almost exhausted to death.

During the ceremony, the third prince happened to pass by the altar and the sky suddenly cleared up. The ministers thought he was the son of destiny.

Later, after deliberate instigation by some people, the third prince was finally pushed onto the throne.

Although he only served for half a year, he was forced to step down and another wise king was elected to take the throne.

But, just passing by?

She didn't believe it.

But she had no time to explore these things now. Her most important thing at the moment was to help Wen Chengyu overcome the current difficulties.

Her guess was right. The Third Prince was hiding in the crowd waiting for his opportunity.

Although no one knows where he got the information about celestial phenomena, as long as Yuan Qing is around, he will never be able to rise to power in this life by stepping on the corpses of the Yuan family.

Cumulus clouds gradually gathered above the capital.

Yuan Qing took out the earrings from her bracelet and quietly observed the sky.

Everyone noticed it and looked up.

Thunder rumbled among the clouds, and it looked like a heavy rain would soon fall.

The director of the Imperial Observatory had cold sweat on his forehead.

He had clearly planned everything out, how could this happen?

Yuan Qing quietly handed the earrings to Rouduner.

Roudun'er flew stealthily towards the Third Prince in the crowd, quietly stuffed the earrings into his hair, and then quickly jumped back into his sea of consciousness.

"Boom!"

Soon, the first bolt of lightning struck and landed outside the altar.

A few pieces of gravel flew up.

"Boom!"

The second bolt of lightning struck and smashed into the crowd.

There was a sudden panic at the scene.

The third bolt of lightning did not fall immediately. Instead, it hovered above the crowd and moved slowly, as if looking for something.

Looking at the muffled thunder, the Third Prince inexplicably developed an urge to escape.

Just when people thought they were safe, the third thunder that had been brewing for a long time came down along the flow of people, with a more violent momentum than the previous two.

"Zi..."

"Boom!!!"

The lightning hit the third prince right on target.

He was knocked flying and fell heavily to the ground, with wisps of green smoke coming out of his mouth and his eyes full of disbelief.

Why... is it like this...

Yuan Qing shuddered when he saw this.

Emma, that's brutal!

These three thunders are punishment from heaven.

Roudun'er flew out again, took the earrings back and gave them to Yuan Qing.

I don’t know if it was because of God’s bad temper, but even the heavy rain that was supposed to last for half an hour was scared away by the thunder.

The originally gloomy weather suddenly cleared up, and a colorful rainbow appeared over the altar.

Everyone watched all this in amazement.

Since the beginning of historical records, where has such a bizarre thing ever happened?

But not only did it happen, they saw it with their own eyes.

Isn’t the dark-skinned Third Prince lying over there the evidence?

I guess it's because I've done too many bad things in my daily life, and even God can't stand it anymore.

Is it really a miracle?

The Prime Minister's father gave a secret signal, and an official immediately understood it. He fell to the ground in an instant and shouted:

"God has chosen you, long live your majesty!"

All of a sudden, everyone inside and outside the palace knelt down and shouted, "It is the destiny of heaven. Long live His Majesty!"

Although the process of ascending the throne was not so smooth, Wen Chengyu at least got the recognition of God.

After this incident, no one would choose to go against the new emperor at this critical moment.

Behind the crowd, a figure walked out from the corner.

The man stared at everything that happened on the altar, his palm suddenly clenched, and the dragon-patterned jade pendant in his palm was pinched in half.

"waste."

After saying that, he put away the anger on his face, stood up and walked into the crowd.

……

After unanimous discussion among the ministers:

All adult princes were made kings and granted fiefs; underage princes went to live with their mothers in their fiefs and went to Beijing to receive their fiefs when they came of age.

The rest of the late emperor's concubines were sent to their proper places in accordance with the Empress Dowager's order.

The princesses continued to live in the palace, waiting for the new emperor to issue an order for their marriage.

This is the rule set by our ancestors since the founding of the dynasty.

Although I know there are many disadvantages, there is nothing I can do about it.

Who made the dog emperor so romantic and spread his seeds all over the place?

Yuan Qing could almost foresee that what Wen Chengyu would face in the future would most likely be:

Kill one, then rebel against the other, and then reach out a hand to stir up the big pot of the court, and add some seasonings from the enemy country...

Tsk, that’s hard to do.
