In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

October 8th, great luck

Today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne.

The new emperor stood in front of the bronze mirror, put on his new dragon robe with high spirits, turned around and around in front of the mirror, with a bright smile on his face. Then, he put on a crown made of strings of jade beads on his head, and the bead curtain hung down, covering his face, but his handsome face and bright eyes could still be seen.

The new emperor inherited the beauty of the empress dowager, with skin as white as snow, delicate features, red lips and white teeth, looking even prettier than a woman. However, the only flaw was that he was a little thin, lacking masculinity, and not strong enough. After putting on this golden dragon robe, he looked a little frail, like a weak scholar, and even made people feel that he was more like an actor in a big drama.

The palace band played cheerful music, firecrackers popped outside, and the entire palace was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites stood in the hall and shouted: "All officials enter the hall."

The royal relatives and civil and military officials waiting outside lined up in order to enter the hall, stood at designated positions, and waited for the new emperor to enter.

"Your Majesty," the voice of an official from the Ministry of Rites was heard, followed by a series of joyous cannons, and the joy became louder and louder.

The new emperor, escorted by the imperial guards and a team of palace servants, strode into the front hall, sat on the dragon throne in the Golden Palace with his horse and golden sword, looking arrogant, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive.

He would first accept the kowtow of all officials and foreign envoys, and then a grand banquet with singing and dancing would be held in the palace.

One of the Queen Mother's maids poked her head out.

When Eunuch Ren saw this, he whispered to the new emperor, "The Queen Mother is out there, and it seems like she has something urgent to do."

"What urgent matter must be discussed now?" The new emperor frowned, but still nodded, "Let the Queen Mother come in first."

Eunuch Ren went out and invited the Queen Mother in.

Empress Dowager Li came in a hurry. She did not sit down in the designated seat on the side, but walked to the side of the new emperor and stood there. She said in a panic, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened."

The new emperor turned around, his face gloomy, and glared at his mother.

On a happy day, say such words.

If Empress Dowager Li had not been his own mother, the new emperor would have had her dragged away and beaten to death.

Empress Dowager Li lowered her voice and said, "The imperial seal that I kept here is gone, and..."

"What? The imperial seal is missing?" The new emperor was a little panicked. How could he be the emperor if the imperial seal was missing? What would he use to issue imperial edicts?

"All the gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse are gone, and everything I saved is gone too." Empress Dowager Li twisted her hands together nervously.

Thinking of the many treasures she had lost, she almost cried in anxiety, "What should I do? How can I find them back?"

"When were those things lost?" the new emperor asked in a low voice.

Queen Mother Li also whispered, "I have no idea when it was lost. Today, I asked someone to go to the storehouse to get some gold and silver to reward the palace maids around me, only to find that the storehouse was empty."

It turned out that the late emperor had died suddenly, and the palace had a large funeral. In order to prevent all the things in the inner treasury from being taken away with the late emperor when he was buried, Empress Dowager Li locked up the inner treasury and kept the key in her palace.

"The warehouse may not be opened without my order." Empress Dowager Li also issued an order.

Recently, busy with the coronation ceremony of the new emperor, Empress Dowager Li and Empress Lu were supervising the palace maids to make new clothes and jewelry for the emperor and them overnight.

So much so that Empress Dowager Li had no time to check the warehouse.

Today, the new emperor ascended the throne, and Empress Dowager Li was so happy that she ordered people to open the storehouse, but all the things were gone.

The new emperor glared at the empress dowager, his eyes full of reproach: You didn't even know when something was lost from the warehouse, and you don't know which official was in charge.

Empress Dowager Li pulled her handkerchief in anger and cursed secretly: If I find out who took these things away, I will skin him alive.

All the officials looked up quietly and saw that the emperor and the empress dowager looked unhappy. They didn't know what had happened and couldn't guess it. They could only remain calm, not wanting to attract the attention of the new emperor and bring disaster upon themselves.

General Li and his men were killed, and General Qi's military power was taken away. Who will the emperor attack next?

Even several princesses have become very quiet recently. They are afraid of displeasing the new emperor and bringing harm to their husbands and sons.

Although the new emperor was unhappy, at this point, he could only whisper, "Don't worry, mother. The East Palace still has some gold and silver to last for a few months."

He had been the crown prince for many years, and he failed to do nine out of ten things well, except for collecting gold and silver, which he did perfectly.

As long as he knew that the second prince had sold an official position, he insisted on selling ten, and said: "The world will belong to me from now on. Why dare the second prince sell my official position? Make money that belongs to me."

There were countless gold, silver and jewelry in the East Palace. Every time he went in and took a look around, he felt a sense of accomplishment: "People say that the Lu family is the richest in the world, but they are wrong. I am the richest person in the world!"

Now, the new emperor knows that the world belongs to him, so it doesn’t matter if he takes out the gold and silver in the Eastern Palace for use.

At this time, Empress Lu also hurried in. She was supposed to wait outside with the concubines in the harem and wait for the new emperor's order before coming in to receive the title.

When the new emperor turned around and saw Empress Lu's panic-stricken look, his heart sank.

"Your Majesty, all the gold, silver and jewelry in our East Palace are gone, and my dowry is also missing." Empress Lu's voice was filled with tears, "Your Majesty, please send someone to search for it quickly!"

The new emperor stared at Empress Lu in astonishment. Seeing that she did not seem to be lying and her eyebrows were twitching, he gritted his teeth and tried hard not to get angry.

Queen Mother Li was shocked. "Things from the East Palace are missing too? Who did this?"

"I don't know." Empress Lu whispered, "I sent someone to move the things in the East Palace storehouse to the Imperial Palace. When the eunuch opened the storehouse, he found it was empty. I don't know when the things were lost."

The new emperor and Empress Lu have been in mourning in the palace recently and have never returned to the Eastern Palace.

Today, Empress Lu sent people to the Eastern Palace to move things into the Imperial Palace, and then to clean up the Eastern Palace and give it to her eldest son to move in. Only then did she discover that all the things in the warehouse were gone.

The new emperor gritted his teeth and asked secretly: Who did this?

"The auspicious time has come, and the new emperor will ascend the throne."

The new emperor sat upright on the dragon throne and motioned his mother to sit down as well. Empress Lu stepped back and waited.

The official from the Ministry of Rites held a booklet, shook his head and nodded his ears, and recited a bunch of words of praise, "The new emperor ascends the throne, the whole world celebrates, the sun and the moon shine together..."

"Your Majesty, please give a speech."

The new emperor was stunned by the news suddenly reported by his mother and the queen. Countless gold, silver, jewels and imperial seals were missing, and he was upset and heartbroken.

The new emperor completely forgot the speeches he had prepared before and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

The official from the Ministry of Rites seemed prepared and handed over a booklet with both hands.

The new emperor recited in a daze: "The previous emperor was a saint who served Qi. He was wise and wise. He ruled the whole world and brought glory to the four corners of the country."

All the officials looked at each other quietly below. This was written in the amnesty edict of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Is the new emperor comparing himself to Emperor Taizong?

Next, the new emperor bestowed golden books and jade seals on Empress Dowager Li and Empress Lu, and absent-mindedly conferred titles on several concubines on the spot.

"Zuo was named Imperial Concubine, Hong was named Concubine Shu, and He was named Concubine Jing..."

Empress Lu brought the concubines from the harem onto the stage and accepted the salutes of all the officials.

All the officials looked at the beautiful Ha Jingpin who was on the throne with surprise. Who was this Ha? I have never heard that there was a concubine with the surname Ha in the Eastern Palace before.

These officials soon found out that Hepin was the concubine of the previous emperor, who was kept by the emperor and favored, and was also granted the title of concubine.

The officials who learned the truth were stunned. "The new emperor took possession of the previous emperor's concubine and made her his concubine. What kind of thing is this?"

They also found out that the new emperor left behind not one, but five concubines of the previous emperor.

The emperor was in a very bad mood and forgot to change the surnames and names of the concubines of the previous emperor, so that the fact that he had occupied the concubines of the previous emperor was spread privately and known to everyone in the world.
