Red Robe

"Aren't you weak?" Li Qingning said.

Xian Yu smiled, "It's okay, I'll just lie down, what do I need strength for?"

Li Qingning's voice was no longer calm, but it was still very cold, "I told you, don't mess with me."

"Can you still kill me?" Xian Yu said leisurely.

After these words fell, after a while, she really felt that Li Qingning could kill her.

But she insisted on laughing, breathlessly whispering in Li Qingning's ear: "I'm very happy."

One life divides, one life gathers.

She was finally looking forward to this day, how unhappy she was.

The next day, Li Qingning went to listen to the morning court meeting. At the court meeting, the ministers talked about King Feng Xian.

After the curtain was drawn down, Li Qing said in a cold voice: "King Fengxian is treasonous, so he should be demoted to a commoner and executed in a hurry."

There was a commotion in Yuanzheng Hall, but no one objected.

The throne with the carved dragon and crouching tiger was still empty, only a eunuch stood alone beside it.

Dongzhou can't be left alone for a day, it's time to sit on the throne, it shouldn't be empty, and it can't be empty anymore.

Suddenly a courtier asked about succession, Li Qingning only said: "Everything is in accordance with the edict of the late emperor."

After the meeting was over, Li Qingning left the Minister of Rites behind.

Li Zaiyu's Zigong has been in the funeral palace for too long, according to the date, it should also enter the imperial mausoleum.

The Minister of Rites bowed his head and said, "The former emperor's Zi Palace has been moved to the funeral palace, and everything in the imperial mausoleum is in order."

Li Qingning nodded slightly, suddenly feeling extremely ironic.

Li Zaiyu built the imperial mausoleum for himself a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he would be able to live in it early after his death.

She asked, "Is there a date for the funeral?"

The Minister of Rites said: "I originally thought that if His Highness had to be a few days late to return to the palace, then the funeral would be held after the first lunar month."

"The first month is too late." Li Qingning frowned.

The Book of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said again: "Fortunately, His Highness came back early, and the 26th of the twelfth lunar month is just the right time to send the late emperor's Zi Palace to the imperial mausoleum, just after the grand ceremony."

Li Qingning nodded slightly, "Then choose the 26th of the twelfth lunar month."

Minister of the Ministry of Rites folded his hands and raised it above his head, and said: "Everything is ready, just wait for His Highness to speak."

He lowered his hand, and said again: "It's just that the teacher's platform is still being repaired today, and there is no one to perform the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven..."

The corners of Li Qingning's lips curled up slightly, her smile was so faint that there was no trace of it.

She said: "Worshiping to the sky is still the same, there is no need to move to the Tianshitai."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was stunned for a moment, thinking that the position of the national teacher is still vacant, who can come to perform the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Li Qingning said a name in a low voice, and the Minister of Rites suddenly realized, and quickly bowed his head in response.

Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner, and there is no rush or chaos.

The snow in the capital stopped long ago, but the sky was still cloudy, the sky was pale, and the outline of the clouds could not be seen, let alone the sundial.

The bleak winter wind blew past the palace gate, swept up the fallen leaves, and roared towards Yuanzheng Hall.

And the red silk was also spread from the palace gate to the Yuanzheng Hall.

On the day when the new emperor ascended the throne, all the ministers stood outside the Yuanzheng Hall, and the musicians stood beside them with gold, stone, silk and bamboo, but not even the slightest sound of music came out.

In the face of national mourning, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, he is not allowed to play music.

Everyone whispered to each other, and after learning that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was not held in the Tianshitai, they felt that it was not in accordance with the rules.

Now I still feel that it is against the rules, and acting like this will definitely arouse the wrath of the sky.

Everyone gathered in front of the Yuanzheng Hall, they couldn't help feeling worried, and they didn't know who was going to perform this ceremony.

Li Qingning stood outside the Yuanzheng Hall, still wearing a black robe, the difference was that the skirt of the black robe was embroidered with the sun, moon and stars with gold thread, and the night hemp flowers on the sleeves were replaced by coiled dragons and crouching tigers.

She raised her pair of phoenix eyes and looked towards the sky, her face was as calm as water, as if she was waiting for someone.

The surrounding area was very quiet, all the ministers lowered their voices to speak, and the whispers were covered by the wind.

No one knows who will come, nor what will happen to this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Suddenly, a red shadow flitted across the white sky, and a person came up against the wind, and landed quietly like a magpie's feather.

All the officials were stunned, but they saw the new emperor standing in front of the palace gate without moving.

Someone lowered his voice and asked, "Who is this?"

"You don't know who she is, she killed the former national teacher!"

Another person lowered his voice and said: "Do you know why [-] elite soldiers were able to defeat Fengxian City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack?"

"I don't know."

"Because..." The person who answered said slowly, "That person also went with the army."

The man in red who came riding the wind turned his plain wrist, and three sticks of incense suddenly appeared in his hand, the incense spontaneously ignited without fire, and was immediately inserted into the cauldron.

The copper bell rang suddenly, and the surrounding wind seemed to be alive. It was whistling and blowing non-stop, but now it became quiet.

Xian Yu laughed, she didn't know how to pray or divination.

But as long as Li Qingning is in power, she will protect Dongzhou for a day.

While waving the brass bell, she looked towards Li Qingning who was standing in front of the hall door, only to see that man was also looking at her gravely.

Suddenly someone exclaimed: "What is that!"

All the ministers raised their heads and looked towards the sky, only to see a streak of purple air coming from the west, circling back and forth on the sky, like a purple dragon climbing up to the sky.

Immediately, shouts like waves resounded through the Dongzhou Imperial Palace.

The officials bowed their heads and said: "God bless Dongzhou, Dongzhou will last forever, and my emperor will live forever!"

Xian Yu laughed in a low voice. In this life, she finally heard such a sentence.

And far to the west, the dragon vein that had the mountain spirit just hiccupped.

The new emperor came to the throne, and Dongzhou was renamed Xuanyang.

On the day when the new emperor pardoned the world, the treasonous King Fengxian was demoted to a commoner, and was executed at a late hour.

Sitting in the prison, King Fengxian suddenly felt that everything was like a big dream. At first he clearly held everything tightly, but now there is nothing left.

It was he who let go, and it was he who let go to lose all of this, so who can blame him.

It was dark in the prison, and he could vaguely hear the conversation of the jailer in the distance.

The jailer vaguely said: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the sky is auspicious again. This year must be a good year."

"I also saw that the long dragon coiled in the air and stayed together for a long time. This auspicious phenomenon can be said to be rare in a thousand years." Another person said.

King Fengxian was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the auspicious phenomenon was like.

He just didn't expect that when he was eating cold food in prison, the new emperor had succeeded to the throne.

It was clearly separated by a wall, but at this moment, it seemed like a lifetime away.

He thought to himself, maybe he didn't lose the bet, but made a mistake from the beginning.

It was wrong from the beginning, very wrong.

On the day of the late emperor's funeral, the third prince Li Qianjun fully recovered, and there was no trace of smallpox on his face.

Bells were ringing everywhere in the capital, and the palace servants dressed in plain clothes kowtowed from the Jinlin Palace to the outside of the city gate, and everyone in the group was crying loudly.

The people are all behind closed doors, lest they offend His Majesty's soul.

The third prince Li Qianjun walked among them, his face was full of tears, but he was at a loss for a moment.

Although in the palace, he also heard that there were many changes in the court and the palace, but when he really went out of the house and cried to the funeral palace with all the officials and palace people, he really felt that everything had changed. So good.

It's changed. I didn't expect King Feng Xian to have an affair with Tuona Kingdom, and was arrested and returned to the capital. I didn't expect that the brother who wanted to put him to death would take a step first. I didn't expect that the father really controlled the dragon. ...

For a while, he always felt that what he lost was not only this not-so-short period, but also not a long period of time.

But he couldn't figure out what he had lost. He just felt that there was a big space in his heart, and he couldn't fill it in.

Outside the funeral palace, he watched helplessly as the aunt in black clothes actually helped Zi Gong out.

The first emperor Bintian, at the time of the funeral, only the successor could carry the coffin forward. Unexpectedly, that person was his cold and heartless aunt.

He had heard about it a long time ago, but he just couldn't believe it. He didn't expect her to be the successor.

But why is it her?

Li Qingning helped Li Zaiyu's coffin out of the funeral palace, raised her eyes to cast a glance at Li Qianjun, and said calmly, "Let's drive to the imperial mausoleum."

Everyone went to the imperial mausoleum non-stop, the incense candles could not be extinguished all the way, and the yellow paper was floating all over the sky.

Li Qianjun followed behind, lowered his voice and asked in disbelief: "Why did the late emperor leave the throne to, to..."

For a moment, he didn't know how to address his aunt.

The minister who followed said solemnly: "Of course it is because I can afford it."

Li Qianjun was shocked, he lowered his head and dared not say anything, for fear of being overheard.

Although he was recuperating from illness before, but he stayed in the house for so long, it was no different from house arrest.

During the period of being trapped in the house, he often thought about the previous things, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally figured out a lot——

In the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't listen to people's words easily.

The newly appointed national teacher walked in front of the late emperor's coffin, ringing the bell to guide the dead soul of the late emperor.

After entering the imperial mausoleum, the late emperor's coffin was placed, and after reciting Zhu Wen and drinking wine, all the people retreated from the cold place.

On the way back, Xindi and Guoshi shared a car.

In Che Yuli, the national teacher who was just pretending just now seemed to have softened, and fell on the new emperor's lap.

Fang Xin was very sensible, she raised her hand and lowered the curtain of the car.

As soon as the curtain fell, Xian Yu straightened up, leaned close to Li Qingning's ear and bit her ear, she said softly: "Your serious appearance just now is really pretty."

Li Qing stared straight ahead, even though the curtain outside the car was covered by the curtain.

She didn't know why this person became more and more presumptuous. He used to call "Your Highness" once or twice, but now, after all, there is only one word "you".

I wanted to teach this man how to behave, but every time I taught him, I used a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and when I mentioned the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I taught the rules to the bed.

She simply kept her mouth shut, but the man lying on her lap became even more unruly, wrapping her neck around her neck and speaking in a low voice.

Obviously he can call the wind and the rain, even when offering sacrifices to the heaven and the earth, he is very arrogant, as if he doesn't even pay attention to the heaven and the earth.

But in a place where no one could see, the newly appointed national teacher whispered: "I twisted my hands when I waved the flag just now, and now I can't breathe well, and I'm very tired."

Li Qingning hesitated to speak, and didn't know who the serious and pretending person was just now.

Xian Yu's slender arms were still around her neck, and the cuffs had slid down to the elbows.

Li Qing said coldly: "Do you know why you are tired."

"Why?" Xian Yu asked.

Li Qingning turned her head to the side, and said in a dignified voice, "Because you haven't slept all night, and you don't know how to repent."

Xian Yu choked up, hearing Li Qingning's mention, immediately remembered how she cried last night.

She immediately let go and straightened her back, but her eyes were still swaying from side to side.

After a long while, she said leisurely: "Say it as if what happened last night has nothing to do with you."

Li Qingning didn't know what to say for a while.

Xuanyang years.

Dongzhou purged the court, thoroughly investigated corrupt officials in the court, and ordered the kings of the princes not to enter the capital without authorization, and further took back local power.The various sects are not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, nor are they allowed to step into the capital without permission.

The new emperor emphasized agriculture and business, and various departments drafted many new laws, including grain tax and new criminal system.After the Battle of Frontiers, the royal family completely regained military power and reorganized the army.

And the comfort island far away in the sea was taken over as Anyu Academy.

The river is clear and the sea is clean, the people are healthy and the things are prosperous, and the country can be peaceful when it is rejuvenated.

The new emperor visited the prefectures and counties, and saw the colorful lights hanging high in the city, just like the heavenly officials on the ground, and the market was full of drums and music, which was very lively.

When the people gathered together, they only dared to secretly glance at the imperial chariot, lest they offend the holy face.

"Who is that person in red with the bead curtain covering her face, and why can she sit on an equal footing with that female majesty?" Suddenly a child asked in a waxy voice.

The person standing on the side quickly bent down and whispered in her ear: "That's the national teacher."

"Why can she be a national teacher?" The child's eyes widened.

"It was she who split the billowing black clouds, she was the one who left on the moon, and she was the one who helped Dongzhou defeat Tuona. Naturally, she is worthy of being a national teacher." The person who was asked patiently answered.

"But didn't she go away in the moon, why did she come back?" the child asked again.

The people on the side said in a low voice: "If you have a heart, you will return no matter how far you are."
