Chapter 69

On the day of enthronement, the weather was sunny and sunny.

Since the old emperor is still there, Xiao Yao doesn't need to wear old clothes to worship in front of the tablet of the first emperor like most emperors whose father died and succeeded to the throne. He only needs to be informed by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the Temple of Heaven, Taimiao, etc. in advance. .

Early in the morning, Xiao Yao changed into a bright yellow gown, which was embroidered with exquisite twelve-chapter patterns. Under the crown of jade, the handsome face of Fengshen half-hidden his brows and eyes, making it impossible to see his true emotions.

And Meng Hui is also wearing a newly-made national teacher's robe, the appearance is not much different from the previous one, but the material is more elegant and precious, and the golden silk and jade embellished on it are shining with his every move, dazzling eye-catching.

I have to say that bright yellow and bright red are very attractive colors. People with average looks will inevitably hurt their eyes when they wear them, but Xiao Yao is graceful and majestic, while Meng Hui is beautiful and dignified. One gold and one red stand together, but they are even more beautiful by the bright colors. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, but it also seems to be a bit of a match.

The mighty guard of honor cleared the way ahead, Xiao Yao and Meng Hui went to Fengtianmen to pray amid the sound of bells and drums, and a group of officials also entered the palace under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, kneeling on both sides of the royal road in the square outside the Meridian Gate. side.

Although he didn't know the process of enthronement ceremony in this plane, the Minister of Rites was very considerate and didn't arrange any complicated tasks for Meng Hui. within the acceptable range.

With the help of the light ball, Meng Hui smoothly finished the prayer that was so awkward that even he didn't know what he said. Then he calmly took the wine glass from the tray and handed it to Xiao Yao. Toast to the gods and spirits, and sprinkle the wine on the ground.

After paying respects to heaven and earth, Meng Hui did not retreat like the other officials in charge of offering sacrifices. Instead, he took a wrong step and followed Xiao Yao down the Fengtian gate, through the royal road in the square, and into the Fengtian hall.

Amidst the grand and solemn Zhonghe Shao music, Xiao Yao took his seat on the imperial throne of the Fengtian Hall, Meng Hui stood aside, and the rest of the civil and military officials entered the hall according to their ranks.

The Supreme Emperor lacked energy and did not participate in the enthronement ceremony—in fact, even if he could persist, he would probably not want to come—but sent De'an to send the imperial edict to read it out in court.

After the edict was read out, it was equivalent to officially confirming Xiao Yao's emperor status.When the officials of the Ministry of Rites presented the jade seal to the state, the civil and military officials immediately kowtowed three times and kowtowed nine times, but Meng Hui did not kowtow like all the ministers, but put his hands together and bowed to the new emperor.

After prostration, the sound of drums and music stopped, all the officials celebrated, and all the countries in the four directions also sent envoys to congratulate. The whole process was orderly and solemn.

Seeing that the whole process was successfully completed, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They planned to send the new emperor away after the ceremony, and then went back to their respective homes and found their respective mothers, but they never thought that the new emperor, who had always been peaceful and peaceful, suddenly had a mess .

Just before the officials of the Ministry of Rites were about to announce the end of the ceremony, Xiao Yao coughed lightly, and stood up from the throne under the inexplicable blank eyes of everyone, apparently with the appearance of "I have something to say".

When the new emperor wanted to speak, no one would stop him, but suddenly there was a "speech" link that was not in the process, and all the courtiers were confused and panicked.

——It has to be said that since the catastrophe that bloodbathed the capital, whenever they saw Xiao Yao's handsome face, everyone couldn't help feeling terrified and uneasy, almost forming a conditioned reflex.

But anyone who can get along in the imperial court will be a fool.The sudden disappearance of the crown prince, and his quick return to Beijing to become the final winner, anyone can see the tricks in this - if not for adequate preparation and careful planning, who would be able to turn the tables so easily in the bloody wind, Turn defeat into victory?

When the dust settled, everyone turned their heads to think carefully about the many actions of the prince, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.Many things are not obvious at ordinary times, and people in the game can't see clearly. But once the victory and defeat have been decided and the game is resumed, those interlocking undercurrents will emerge in these "after the event" "Zhuge Liang and the others" came to light.

Even some unwarranted or just coincidences were put on the new emperor by the terrified courtiers, which made Xiao Yao's image even more mysterious and unpredictable, making it impossible for anyone to resist.

Seeing that the new emperor was about to speak, all the courtiers immediately listened attentively, for fear that they might miss a little bit and make them unable to comprehend the holy meaning. However, Xiao Yao expressed that he was very satisfied with the respectful and cautious appearance of all the courtiers.

——Since he wants to be the emperor, he will never be allowed to be restrained by the courtiers, and he must focus on himself in everything.

Slightly hooking the corners of his lips, Xiao Yao raised his hand to signal to Qi Ming, who has now replaced De'an as chief eunuch.Qi Ming had been prepared for a long time, and immediately bowed and came to the front, followed by a little eunuch holding two copies of the imperial decree.

The first imperial decree is a routine amnesty for the world - of course, those who are guilty of treason are not included in the pardon.

Although the process of enthronement ceremony did not involve this item, it is still reasonable to promulgate it at this time.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense expressions eased a little, and then they began to guess what the second edict was about.

According to common sense, after the new emperor enthroned and pardoned the world, he was canonized for all the women in the backyard.But it is said that when the new emperor was the crown prince, he kept himself clean and did not even have a servant girl. Who is he going to confer?Could it be that the new emperor secretly hid a sweetheart?

Just when everyone was thinking about it, after the first imperial decree was read out, Qi Ming held up the second imperial decree with both hands, but did not open it, but respectfully presented it to Xiao Yao.

The courtiers stared wide-eyed, watching Xiao Yao raise his hand to take over the imperial edict and spread it out, intending to read the edict himself, the nerves that had been relaxed just now tensed up again, and Meng Hui, who was standing beside him, also spontaneously felt A bad premonition—because Xiao Yao glanced at him with a smile when he took the imperial decree.

Regarding this glance, Meng Hui had only one thought: his teammate Pig was about to be tricked again, so he had to hold on.

Sure enough, this imperial decree was about him.

Compared with the previous imperial decree, which was not very distracting and routine, the second imperial decree was obviously written by Xiao Yao himself, eloquently.In the imperial decree, he first sighed shamelessly about the brothers who killed each other a while ago, and then changed the subject, and began to praise Xuanzhen Guoshi for his compassion and righteousness. When he was framed by his brother, he went to the disaster alone and saved him from the fire and water.

Everyone in the court had heard about the fact that the prince was rescued by the national teacher Xuanzhen when he was in danger, but most of it came from private exchanges among colleagues, and it was not officially confirmed.Now the imperial decree of the new emperor is to make this matter known to the public and record it in the official history of the royal family—from now on, no matter whether this matter is true or not, it will be an ironclad truth.

Of course, the new emperor specially wrote an imperial decree, not just to praise Xuanzhen's achievements, but to give genuine rewards.All the ministers had their own thoughts, and as expected, at the end of the imperial decree, they heard the words "canonize Master Xuanzhen as the Holy King".

Although the state teacher has a transcendent status, it is only a title and has no real power level, but the "king" is different.Being able to be called a "king" means a prince who truly owns a fief. In the past dynasties, most of the people who can be named kings are royal family members. Only those with extremely high achievements, such as the founding of the country, can be named kings of the opposite sex by the emperor. .

And canonizing a monk as king is even more unheard of.

Just when the ministers were disturbed and didn't know whether they should ask the new emperor to think twice, Xiao Yao was not satisfied and gave them another heavy blow.After the new emperor read the imperial decree, he put it aside casually, walked up to Xuanzhen Guoshi who was standing on the side with the same astonished expression, grabbed his hand, and personally pulled him to the center, and then Looking at the ministers from top to bottom, the tone was majestic and decisive: "I can't repay the national teacher's life-saving grace. I can only promise the position of 'Holy King' and rule the world with me from now on!"

This sentence caused all the courtiers to raise their heads in shock, and it was difficult to hide their shocked expressions.In fact, although the title of "King" has a fief, it has no specific rank. How much real power he can have depends on the emperor's thoughts. Although everyone is dissatisfied, they can still accept it.But if you add the last sentence of the new emperor, the meaning is completely different.

"Govern the world together", this, this is what it means to be crowned king?In terms of power and status, the King of Parallels can stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor. Even if the person to be conferred is a monk who doesn't care about common things, it is definitely not a trivial matter!

Don't you see, the one-word side-by-side kings in history are either masters of great achievements who have been secretly targeted by the emperor for liquidation, or they are reserve soldiers who seek to usurp the throne.As the saying goes, "How can you allow other people to snore on the side of the couch", other people are forced to be the side-by-side king because of the situation and are reluctant, but the new emperor personally placed a seat on his side of the bed, and happily invited The other party shares the same bed with you?

All civil and military officials, as well as foreign envoys were all shocked. They deeply felt that Emperor Qianzhen must have gone crazy, to have promised such a priceless reward, and announced it to the world in his enthronement ceremony.Even if Master Xuanzhen is the new emperor's life-saving benefactor, he should never be so honored and favored!

Immediately, several courtiers were eager to come out and persuade the new emperor to take back his order, but they just raised their heads, and before they could make a move, they were immediately stared at by Emperor Qianzhen's cold and warning eyes.

Suddenly, those people's legs softened, and the cold sweat broke out on their backs in an instant. They could only smell a faint smell of blood from the tip of their noses—it was the smell of blood belonging to their future selves.

Thinking of the capital city that was stained red with blood not long ago, the impulse that had arisen suddenly dissipated. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all wanted to test the attitude of Qianzhen Emperor, but they didn't. A person who dares to be this early bird who will definitely get his neck broken.

Facing the courtiers who wanted to refute but did not dare to refute, Xiao Yao snorted lightly and said slowly, "From now on, seeing the Holy King is like seeing me, and there must be no impoliteness——Everyone Aiqing, haven't you met the Holy King yet?"

Hearing Emperor Ganzhen's threatening words, everyone in the hall did not dare to delay at all, and kowtowed and saluted one after another, and the few ministers whose legs were threatened by Xiao Yao's eyes were the ones who knelt the fastest. A batch—after all, they are indeed double-stranded, almost unable to stand.

After everyone knelt down and kowtowed to Meng Hui three times and recognized the honor of the "Holy King", Xiao Yao was finally satisfied, and turned to look at the handsome monk who was being held by him, as if triumphantly asking for credit.

Meng Hui felt very bad when he was kicked out of the shelves, but he couldn't refute his face in front of everyone, so he could only sigh helplessly, clasped his hands together, and saluted: "Amitabha, please forgive me, my lords."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.They got up from the ground, couldn't help but secretly looked up at the newly baked side-by-side king, only to see their new emperor holding the side-by-side king's hand with one hand and the other's shoulder with the other, his tall figure seemed to want to As if wrapping the thin monk in his arms, the posture is extremely intimate, and even if the handsome face is hidden under the jade handle, making it difficult to see clearly, it can't hide the high-spirited and wanton flying.

As for the beautiful young monk who was pulled by the new emperor, he smiled helplessly and had gentle eyes, as if he was conniving at all the actions of the naughty boy who was as tolerant as a naughty child.

All the courtiers: "……………………"

——I always feel as if something cold is slapping my face indiscriminately.
