Chapter 104: The Dust Settles

The times are changing, the situation is changing, the erosion and decay of the Zhaolie Dynasty of the Northern Xuan Dynasty has become history, and yesterday's well-known wind and rain has come to an end.

In the early days of this day, when the ministers went to the Jinluan Hall to discuss matters as usual, they found that the crown prince Lieyu and De'an Wang Liewu were standing in the center of the hall dressed in white. Lie Yu was in front, Lie Wuxue stood respectfully behind, the two heard the movement, and turned around at the same time with a very tacit understanding, looking like a brother and a friend, so that the ministers looked at each other and were very puzzled.

Yesterday's events were generally understood by the ministers in their respective mansions, and they were very worried when they went to the palace, thinking that the two highnesses would "open their mouths" in the palace, but they didn't expect that the two of them were so harmonious and calm, which made the ministers a little uncomfortable.

Lie Yu glanced at the ministers with his gaze, then his gaze moved down slightly, his face was solemn, and after a while, he sighed, and said to the ministers in a heavy tone, "Yesterday, my father was in the palace and was shocked, and now it has been diagnosed by the imperial doctor, which is actually caused by my father's recent excessive work in state affairs. When the palace heard about this yesterday, it was grief-stricken, and now it is time to convene the ministers to announce the death of the emperor, and the funeral should also be handled, and the specific matters will be submitted to the Ministry of Rites. ”

The ministers glanced at each other, Lie Wuxue spoke first, he saluted respectfully, and then said to Lie Yu, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true. Now it should be announced to the world, and then the crown prince will preside over his father's funeral, and the ministers should assist the prince and do their part. ”

"Yes! The ministers saluted.

Emperor Beixuan died, and the new emperor's accession to the throne was soon announced to the world, and in the Jiuchen Palace, Emperor Zhaoning also got the news.

"Emperor Beixuan died...... It was so sudden. Emperor Zhaoning's tone was meaningful, and the emperor's old age was revealed in his bottomless gaze.

"The two princes of Beixuan led troops into the imperial city to fight, and then Beixuan reported that Emperor Zhaolie died and the crown prince ascended the throne. Fan Bozhong said.

"Death? He must have died in civil strife. Emperor Zhaoning smiled, "It's also sad, he died, and everyone in Beixuan was secretly happy, being the emperor to this is really a failure......"

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. Fan Bozhong said. "That'...... Should we send an envoy to mourn Emperor Zhaolie and congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne?"

"Let the Dark Guard Pigeon send a message to Yelan, and let him do it as my Nine Dust Messenger. After Emperor Zhaoning finished speaking, there was an unfathomable expression on his face, and after finishing his words, he left quietly, leaving Fan Bozhong to stand in place with a strange expression.

......

After handling the funeral of Emperor Zhaolie of Beixuan, Lie Yu ascended the throne and changed the Yuan to Mingde, and Lie Yu was called Emperor Mingde. According to the previous agreement, he sealed Lie Wuxue as the king of Qin, gave him a fief, etc., and at the same time sealed his two henchmen, Shu Ying and Duanmu Ling, respectively the king of Pingyang and the king of Yanjing. He was crowned as the Shangzhu State and the right general, and the eldest Sun Chi was the Guangyang Jun, and he was also the Zhongshu Order.

In order to balance the power of Lie Wuxue, so as not to fall into the mouth and cause dissatisfaction, Lie Yu also named Mo Heng, the deputy commander of the Black Dragon Army, as the king of Xinling, and Qin Xiang, the commander of the Yulin army, as the king of Changguang. rewarded the courtiers of the two sides, balanced the forces of himself and Lie Wuxue, and the government of the Northern Xuan Dynasty gradually stabilized, the people were stable, and they were prosperous for a while, and they were all right.

Yelan entered the palace to congratulate Lie Yu, and at the same time signed a peace and friendship agreement with Beixuan on behalf of Jiuchen. Lie Yu expressed his gratitude to Yelan for his help and the help he had been secretly all along, and the two became brothers by blood, and agreed to help each other in times of difficulty, and the two countries would always be good for Qin and Jin.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a week since Lie Yu ascended the throne, the throne is stable, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the whole country is gradually on the right track.

On the path of the palace, two thin and tall figures were strolling, with no attendants beside them, quiet and tranquil.

"Now that the situation in Beixuan is stable, your throne is stable, and Lie Wuxue is also safe, there is no wind and waves in the court, should you rest assured?" Ye Lan patted Lie Yu's shoulder and smiled at him sincerely.

Lie Yu also patted Yelan's shoulder, but showed a malicious smile, "Yes, I'm safe here, what about you?"

"In another week, I'll probably be back to Jiuchen first. Yelan said to Lie Yu.

"Yes, you have been in our Beixuan for three weeks before you know it. Lie Yu smiled slightly, "How are you getting along with my sister?"

"When I returned to Jiuchen, I asked my father to come to Beixuan to propose marriage and marry Yao'er. Yelan smiled happily.

"Yao'er? Lie Yu smirked, "Have you forgotten that you still have a competitor?"

"Guangyang-kun?" Yelan frowned, "I really forgot." ”

"Hahahaha. Lie Yu laughed heartily, "But then again, I am still more optimistic about you between you and Eldest Sun Chi." I think Eldest Sun Chi and Yao'er are more suitable to be close friends, and you and her ...... I can see that you all have each other in your hearts. ”

"So you have to move quickly, take the hot iron, I'm still waiting for you to call me brother. Lie Yu joked.

"Okay, okay, for Yao'er's sake, I can only grieve and let you take advantage. Yelan pretended to be helpless.

"By the way, how is Yao'er's body?" Lie Yu changed the subject, "Her cold disease is getting worse day by day, but don't worry, I will find a way to persuade her in the next few days to let her cooperate with me, and I will help her transfer the cold disease in her body to me." ”

"What about you?" Lie Yu frowned, a little worried.

"It's fine. Yelan shook her head, "I have my own way to transform the cold disease without hurting myself." ”

"Alas, then I'm a brother who thanked you here first. Lie Yu patted Yelan on the shoulder.

"Husband and wife are one, and they should be. Yelan said, "Besides, when it comes to sacrifice, I'm far inferior to you. ”

For a while, the topic became so heavy that both of them stopped talking and looked at the sky.

"How does it feel to be an emperor?" Yelan changed the subject.

"Power is a hot potato, and now the power of the ministers of the DPRK and China is intertwined, and it needs to be slowly dismantled. As soon as I ascended the throne, the ministers urged me to choose a concubine, obviously choosing a concubine, but in fact it was just another power scheme. ”

"And what are you going to do?" Yelan asked.

"I can only put it off again and again, and if necessary, let the eldest grandson come out late to block the arrow for me. Lie Yu smiled.

"In fact, everyone longs to sit on this throne, and it will only be so after they sit on it. "But one thing is undeniable, power is really important, it's important......"

"Maybe only when you get it, can you have such a deep experience......"

"Before I had power, I couldn't even protect my dearest sister, but now, I can protect all the people or things I cherish, so no matter how hard and tired I am, I have to survive in this position. When Lie Yu said this, his expression and tone were firm, and his eyes flashed with a raging flame. A spontaneous aura of kinghood emanated from his body.

"Maybe it is. Yelan spoke, her tone mixed with indescribable emotion.
