Chapter 33: Enthronement
Wang Mengning got up very early this morning, and wandered around the prime minister's mansion when she had nothing to do, but she ran into Prime Minister Su, who had already put on his court clothes and planned to go to the court. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Uncle, why did you get up so early today?"
Regarding her question, Prime Minister Su just wanted to roll his eyes in his heart and ignore it. Is it okay for him to get up at this hour every day and go to the morning pilgrimage? Cold and summer, rain or shine. This heartless niece didn't have to sleep until three o'clock in the morning one day, so she didn't want to get up in every possible way.
Wang Mengning saw that his uncle was holding his hands there, blowing his beard and glaring at her, and suddenly the second monk was confused, could it be that she said the wrong thing again?
The housekeeper walked over and said to Prime Minister Su: "Master, the carriages and horses are ready, and you can go." ”
"Isn't Uncle going to eat something?"
Prime Minister Su glanced at her with disgust, and still used her to say? He's already eaten it, okay?
"I've eaten, the new emperor ascended the throne today, and there are still a lot of things to take care of in the palace, so I'll leave first."
Wang Mengning looked at Prime Minister Su's unhurried pace, pouted at Prime Minister Su's back and said, "I really haven't seen such a courtier, his emperor boss is about to ascend the throne, and he is not in a hurry at all." With such a heartless prime minister, I really feel sad for An Hongxi. After saying that, he shook his head again, alas, it was so sad.
Fortunately, Prime Minister Su walked away and didn't hear Wang Mengning's muttering, otherwise he would definitely turn around in anger and scold her fiercely.
Who doesn't have a heart or lungs?
The crown prince ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. It was announced that all miscellaneous taxes would be exempted for three years, and those who had made petty mistakes such as petty theft were released.
In Wang Mengning's view, this approach is simply looking for death, and An Hongxi's doing this will definitely make those people with bad intentions have bad intentions. Some people must think that if there is a three-year amnesty for the world, then they will rise up every three years, overthrow one regime, and change another. Then they can go on to grant amnesty for another three years......
And so on and so forth.
When Wang Mengning told Su Limo and Yin Wuzhan about this point of view, the latter was obviously stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he could only shake his head helplessly and sigh: "Where did you get your novel ideas?" ”
said that he was a strange man, and according to Su Limo, she Wang Mengning was a rare strange woman in the world.
Yin Wuzhan was also speechless, "But smile and laugh, Mengning, it's just a matter of saying this to us, but don't say it outside." ”
Wang Mengning gave him a reassuring look, she was not stupid, she would spread this opinion when the new emperor ascended the throne, then she didn't want to go home to see her parents.
Although Wang Mengning didn't care, the new emperor's accession to the throne attracted great attention from the entire country. Even poor families who are usually living in poverty have to break the bank once, turn out the money hidden in the clay pot, go to the market to buy a pound or two of meat, and eat a good meal.
The grandeur of the market is no different from the Chinese New Year, and even more so.
When the sky dawned, the palace compound was all agitated.
A red carpet stretches from the center of the main palace gate until it reaches the foot of the stone steps outside the main hall. From a distance, this bright red carpet forcibly divided the upright palace into two parts.
The Royal Feather Forest Army, the Imperial Forest Army, the Imperial Front Guards with Swords, the Catch Fast, and the Jingwu Guards are all displayed in an orderly manner on the large square on the periphery, which looks magnificent and makes people feel awe.
And in the inner wall of the palace, that is, the vacant space under the main hall, stood the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
The red court clothes worn by civil officials seemed to blend in with the carpet around them. The military attache was wearing armor, the sky was faint, and the armor was glowing with a faint cold light, which seemed a little cold.
An Hongxi was dressed in a gold silk embroidered dragon robe, and a thin bead curtain hung from the golden crown hat on his head, swaying up and down with his steps.
He looked resolutely ahead, and no one could read what he was thinking.
Let's say that he is expressionless, but he gives people a solemn feeling. Let's say that he has an expression, but he silently gives people a sense of oppression.
Under the guidance of Feng Yuhai, he stepped up the steps step by step, and everyone stood below with their heads bowed, looking at their noses and noses, for fear that they would make a mistake in one link and lead to death.
An Hongxi walked the steps unhurriedly, flicked his wide sleeves, and knelt down in front of the ranking of the previous emperors. The people below also knelt on the cold bluestone slabs, their expressions serious and serious.
Feng Yuhai stood beside him, threw the dust in his hand from the right to the left, and raised his voice and said, "The new emperor is on the throne, thank the ancestors...... One prostration, then prostration, three prostrations......"
When everyone's three heads slammed on the ground, he took out a holy decree from his sleeve, which was the last call of the emperor, and only a few high-ranking ministers had seen it before, in order to distinguish the authenticity of this holy decree. If it is true, then according to the content of the testament, determine the next king, and continue to assist him with painstaking efforts. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, this will should also be announced to the world.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. The crown prince Hongxi is generous and well-versed in the way of governing the country and securing the country. Therefore, the throne will be passed to him, and Wanger and others will assist him wholeheartedly, and he will always ensure the prosperity of the country. ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"
An Hongxi knelt on his knees, raised his hands to receive the holy decree, and then got up with Feng Yuhai's support, showing the clear and dangling holy decree in his hand in front of everyone.
The kneeling people below bowed their heads to the ground and said in unison: "Wait for the new emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”
The last haze in the sky gradually faded, leaving only a slight morning breeze, blowing from time to time, and the eastern sky was covered with morning glow, rendering the sky a bright red, with a slight orange light, which was what the sun looked like when it first rose.
Gradually, the morning sun climbed up from the back of the mountain, giving the whole world a layer of gold, as if the whole world was already golden.
On the day An Hongxi ascended the throne, the weather was really good.
Duan Chenjing did not go to the enthronement ceremony, and took leave the day before, saying that he was occasionally infected with a cold and could not afford to be sick.
Wang Mengning also somehow, she was shopping aimlessly on the street, and asked nonchalantly: "Which direction is Jian Shui Xuan?" She walked over without thinking, and even she didn't know how far she had walked, as if she felt like she was just in front of the door of Jianshui Xuan in a blink of an eye.
After seeing everything inside, Wang Mengning couldn't help but drop her jaw in shock, although everything here was different from what she dreamed of, the artistic conception coincided. What she wants is this kind of leisurely and quiet life like a small bridge and flowing water.
Looking at it like this, the more envious Duan Chenjing became.
