Chu Yun's decision is beyond doubt. Qingqing's life is as usual, plain and unwavering, every day is the same as before, fortunately, there is Qi Xuan with her, so it is not too boring, maybe for Qing Qing, Qi Xuan's arrival will not change anything, today's companionship, or tomorrow's parting, it doesn't matter.

As everyone knows, the conspiracy is brewing, and it is ready to go. Fate is developing in the direction of its own involuntarily, crushing the beauty of the past, moving forward slowly and heavily.

The ascension of the new emperor to the throne is naturally not to be missed. Lu Shui learned from the mouths of past merchants yesterday that tomorrow will be the enthronement ceremony. After learning of this, Lu Shui immediately returned to the inn, settled the accommodation expenses, went to Ren's mansion again, and informed the second elder of the Ren family before leaving and returning to Xifeng.

Lu Shui rushed to his house overnight, reorganized it a little, wore an official uniform and hat, and wore a flower feather, and prepared them one by one, just waiting for tomorrow's ceremony.

Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright, the chief eunuch held a cowhide whip thick with a rod and stick, standing on the square steps of the top road of pilgrimage to the palace, the left and right front and back were spacious and solid, the stone surface was thick and black and shiny, the eunuch threw the leather whip into the ground with one hand in the air, making a loud noise that shook the earth, and the echo from the open space in the distance became more and more aggravated by the sound of the dragon's roar.

A eunuch shouted from above: "Hundreds of officials have come to you!"

The voice reverberates for a long time. I saw that the gate of the palace was pushed open by Youyou, and the hundred officials stood back and forth in turn according to the rank of official uniforms, entered through the door, followed by the palace gate, and arrived in the Jinluan Treasure Palace.

On the golden dragon chair, wearing the dragon robe embroidered with gold thread, wearing the dragon crown of the octagonal pearl pagoda, sitting majestically between the dragon chair of the two dragons playing with pearls made of gold, the son of heaven and earth, the heroic posture of the king. Hundreds of officials worship.

Shan Hu: Hooray! Hooray!

The new emperor ascended the throne, according to the history of the dynasty, the new emperor wanted to set up the cemetery of the first emperor of the dynasty, worship the ancestors first, and bow to the officials. Then take the sixteen people with a high top and wide mouth, and the four corners are facing the sky with thousands of layers of tassels falling under the golden hook, and the four sides are buckled with a tribute of thin silk yarn, a majestic and magnificent sedan chair. The palanquin man got up, and in front of him was a team of flag-raising and opening the road a few miles away, and behind him was a dense entourage of hundreds of officials and hundreds of royal forest guards, among which there were many generals wearing mighty robes and straddle high-headed horses. The group was ten miles long, and in the long sound of music, they went all the way back to the palace.

Throughout the day, Yu Xuan, who was dressed in a dragon robe, had to follow the ancestral system and follow the things to be done during the enthronement ceremony. It was only in the evening that he was able to return to the dormitory and rest.

The next morning, sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a dragon robe, listening to the worship of hundreds of officials, and saying "flat body", at this time, Yuxuan had the feeling of being the king of a country, not like yesterday's fluttering immortals, but he sat on this dragon chair steadily.

The world is peaceful, and there is nothing to do. Just as the eunuch standing at the bottom shouted: "If you have something, please play!

After finishing speaking, a military general who was in the fourth rank walked out, bowed and saluted, and shouted: The minister has this music!

A subtle smile appeared at the corner of Yu Xuan's mouth, but it quickly disappeared without a trace. With a stern expression and compassion, he asked: What does Aiqing have to play?

The military general was burly, sharp, raised his head, and said: In recent days, the people on the border often have mountain bandits to burn and loot, making the people miserable.

Hearing this, the government and the opposition were shaken. Hundreds of officials whispered to each other. After a while, a minister stepped forward and said: Your Majesty, in the past, it was not that no officials had sent troops to fight against them, and there were many times, but every time they went, the whole army was wiped out, and gradually no one dared to go anymore. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, why does the emperor want to fight for those small people?

When the ministers heard this, they all nodded yes, and then several officials stepped forward to explain their thoughts, and the meaning of the content was roughly the same as that of the minister, which was nothing more than asking Yuxuan not to send troops.

Qi Shiwei had already thought that this would be the kind of scene, if it went on like this, I was afraid that the result would only follow the wishes of those old ministers. So, before the emperor ascended the throne, Lord Qi made an appointment with some like-minded civil officials and thought of a strategy to deal with today.

At this moment, at the back, a civil official stood up, bowed his hand, and said: Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what your lords are saying is right, it is really unnecessary to make a big move for the sake of a few small people. But Weichen once copied from the scriptures of governing the country, and there is a sentence that is particularly good, "The people are the foundation of the country, the monarch, the boat, the people, the water, the water can carry the boat, and the boat can also overturn." As a result, Weichen felt that Lord Hu could ask for troops for the sake of the people, and it was for the emperor, so he also asked the emperor to allow Lord Hu to send troops to suppress the bandits!

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and bent down for a long time.

Then, someone came out, and the rhetoric was the same as his, and it was also a request. Immediately after that, several more adults walked out of the petition in turn. Seeing this, the hundred officials were originally looking at those ministers, but now that they look at it, their hearts are really a little shaken.

In the end, Qi Shiwei walked out and said: Your Majesty, Weichen also feels that "the people are the foundation of the country", if the people are not willing, how can the country and the people be safe, so Weichen hereby implores the emperor to allow Lord Hu to send troops to suppress bandits, so as to calm the hearts of the people and protect the community!

The phrase "to protect the society" is not trivial today, Yuxuan is the new emperor ascending the throne, and naturally hopes that the dragon chair will be stable and the society will be worry-free. Qi Shiwei's words really hit the current point, whether the hundred officials are against the bandits, or in favor of the bandits, or the grass on the wall, they have to obey the emperor's wishes at this moment.

In an instant, hundreds of officials knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting: "Calm the hearts of the people, protect the community! Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!

Yu Xuan, who was on the dragon chair, looked at the hundreds of officials who bowed to the ground, nodded with a smile, and said: In this case, I will allow Hu Guangwei to lead an army of 100,000 to crusade against the mountain bandits!

All the ministers said in unison: My emperor is wise!

After the next court, the holy decree was passed to the Hu Mansion from time to time, Hu Guangwei bowed to receive the decree, and ordered his subordinates to give the eunuch who came to pass the decree ten taels of silver, and sent him away. Then, he went to the military department and led the 100,000 troops.

Early the next morning, Yu Xuan took a hundred officials out of the palace to see him off, Lu Shui was afraid that the army would cross the border, the killing would be ruthless, and it would not be good to accidentally injure Qingqing, so he asked for an order last night and went out to fight together as the minister of the army. It's also accurate.

After bidding farewell to the emperor's hundred officials, they stepped on a high-headed horse, followed by an army of 100,000, and went out of the city gate and went to the border area near the mountain bandits.
