Chapter Seventy-Nine: Father
"An An, is it appropriate to ascend the throne and be the emperor at this time?" Originally, it had been the goal of Xianchen to be called the emperor, but now when it was realized, Xianchen retreated. At this time, Xianchen suddenly remembered the time when she was in Jiangnan, the moonlight was like water, and the gentle and jade boy asked her if she really wanted to be the empress?
She didn't answer then.
Now I really don't want to.
"Sister, what are you talking about? This Huai country now has no owner, you are winning the hearts of the people, this is a great time to ascend the throne. Chang'an said with great interest, and no one noticed the loneliness buried in Chang'an's eyes.
Xianchen's lips were pursed into a straight line, and his former soft face was extremely stiff.
Yes, An An is right, now is the best time, but why is her heart resisting this happening? Everything happened so fast that she didn't have time to clear her mind, but now there was only one way to go, and there was no other way but to ascend the throne.
August 27 is a good day, and everything is fine.
Under everyone's hope, Xianchen slowly walked up to the main hall. The bright yellow empress dress, embroidered with the pattern of the flying phoenix, the pattern is complex and charming, and it is the best embroiderer in Kyoto overnight.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Xianchen stepped onto the phoenix chair step by step, and the people crawling under her feet were all her subjects. Xian Chen's cold eyes swept over the ministers present, and he knew very well in his heart that even though everyone respected her as the emperor now, those people were not necessarily happy to see her ascend the throne. Putting down what he was thinking, Xianchen smiled: "Everyone loves Qing's body." ”
After a burst of Sisuo's voice, Xian Chen looked at the civil and military officials below him, and said: "Xian Chen, a woman, now that the situation is compelling, it is not Xian Chen's original intention to say that it is not Xian Chen's intention. However, the blood of the royal family has always flowed on the body of Xianchen, and it is responsible for the well-being of the people. ”
"The empress is humble, and the ministers will do their best to assist the empress!" The civil and military officials knelt down again.
"In this case, I would like to thank you in advance for all of you. Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, let's get up. Xianchen waited until all the civil and military officials got up before he slowly spoke: "I ascended the throne today, and the people in Kyoto have just experienced a catastrophe, and I think that all etiquette should be simple. As for the enthronement ceremony, I think it is enough to put incense on the pillar in front of the ancestors and ancestors, and then sacrifice to the sky. As for the country name, I want to use the previous country name, so it is called Li Guo. What does Aiqing think? ”
"The empress is kind-hearted, and it is a blessing for the people of Dali! There was no objection from the ministers. ”
"In that case, then retreat!" Xianchen didn't want to stay here for a long time at all, and it was meaningless to discuss these little things every day, so he couldn't wait to retreat quickly.
Zichen Palace.
"I like this palace very much, so Ming'er took down this plaque and replaced it with Mo Shangge, do you hear?"
"Yes."
Chang'an followed behind Xian Chen, and naturally heard Xian Chen's instructions, and couldn't help grinning. "Sister, you remind me of my days in Lanyue Villa."
"What, An An, do you want to consider giving up your identity as the young master of Shengming Palace and the prince of Luoxue, marry me, and govern Dali with me?" Xian Chen's face was full of banter. I thought that Chang'an would definitely blush, who knew that this young man today was no longer the one he used to be, this time when he heard such a question, he lightly picked up a wisp of green silk that fell on his shoulder and played with it in his hand, and said indifferently: "Okay, but the weak water is three thousand, and I hope that my sister is the only one in your harem." ”
Xianchen punched Chang'an on the shoulder, "You kid, you're so tired and crooked, even your sister dares to tease!" ”
Chang'an cooperated with the exhalation: "The sky can be seen, it is obvious that it was Sister you who teased me with your words first." ”
Xianchen took care of the loss, turned around and left, Chang'an immediately took Xianchen's hand, "Sister, don't make trouble, I have something to say with you." ”
Chang'an's expression straightened, and Xianchen also collected a smile on his face, "Let's go to the palace and talk." The two of them stepped into the Zichen Palace together, and Xian Chenping retreated left and right, and then asked.
"An An, what do you want to say?" Sitting on the pear blossom wood, Xian Chen's expression was solemn.
"Poof", Chang An finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "Sister, don't be so serious, it's so funny." Under the eyes of the slender knife, Chang'an desperately held back his smile, and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I think Dali has returned to your hands at this time, and there is no need for me to stay here." Coupled with the increasing tension between the Shengming Palace and the royal family, I think the snow will fall after your enthronement ceremony is over. After a pause, Chang'an said again: "Sister, don't worry, I will continue to help you inquire about the whereabouts of my senior brother, and I will contact you as soon as there is news!" ”
Xianchen was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and Chang'an finally heard a few inaudible sounds.
The next day, the new emperor ascended the throne to worship the heavens.
Xian Chen, dressed in bright yellow court clothes, slowly walked up to the high platform of the sacrifice to the sky in the voice of the ceremonial official. In fact, the so-called sacrifice to the heavens is just to show the gods that the lord of Dali has changed, and Dali has entered a new era, hoping that the gods can continue to protect the people of Dali.
"The new empress of Dali - Sheng Xianchen inherits the meaning of the sky, the wish of the people, ascends the throne and is called the emperor, today is an auspicious time and a good day, I am here to tell the gods, I hope that the gods will continue to bless me Dali, and from then on, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the country and the people will be safe!" After Xian Chen finished the established lines, he took the incense handed over by the slave next to him, and was about to place the incense in the incense burner, when he suddenly heard a voice, and then there was a commotion among the people who came to watch the ceremony.
"Wait a minute!"
Xian Chen stared at the source of the sound, and saw a person opening the way in front of him, with a respectful demeanor, followed by a person, his face was not very clear, but the bearing of his body was extraordinary.
Gradually, the people came closer. Everyone saw the man's face clearly, and looked in the direction where Xianchen was, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
In the end, it was Xianchen who broke the treacherous atmosphere with a voice, "Father, it's really you!" With shock on his face, Xian Chen didn't care about anything, and went straight to Emperor Qiandali.
Chang'an had been hiding in the crowd, and when he saw Xianchen on the high platform, he turned around and left, so he didn't know what happened next.
"Chen'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have grown up a lot, and my father is very happy!" The emperor spoke, his voice was no longer what he had ever said, and Xianchen looked at him in surprise, his eyes full of inquiry.
"It's nothing, it's just that something happened, so my throat is bad, and it's not in the way." After saying this, he looked at the surrounding altar again, embarrassed.
Xian Chen also knew his father's thoughts, and made a gesture to everyone present, and said in a loud voice: "It happened suddenly, let's stop today's heaven worship ceremony, this hall and my father still have important matters to discuss." ”
Then ignoring everyone's gaze, Xian Chen returned to the palace with the emperor.
The father and daughter talked about some of the more important things recently, and suddenly they were relatively speechless. For Xian Chen, she can never forget that year when her father tried to take away what originally belonged to her from her, and the emperor can't forget what he did back then.
"Father, since you have come back safe and sound, then the position of the lord of the Great Li Kingdom is still up to you, Father, the son is young, and he really can't bear such a heavy responsibility."
This was the last sentence that Xianchen said when he left Zichen Palace, but it lasted for a long time in the emperor's heart.
The next day, as soon as the news came out, the whole minister was in an uproar.
Don't say that this Dali Jiangshan was taken back by Xianchen, let's just say that Xianchen is now in the hearts of the people, how can she sit firmly on this throne. But no one expected that with Xianchen's current powerful position, he would be willing to hand over the power at his fingertips.
Xianchen listened to the discussion outside and smiled. Now Qin Tong behind him still couldn't hold back, and asked: "Master, if you return to your heart today, your subordinates really don't understand why you want to give up?" ”
Xian Chen knew that this Xiao'er would definitely ask, so he turned around and smiled at him, "Judging from Xiao'er, this Da Li, do you think I am really the people's desire now?" Xianchen laughed at himself: "My father didn't come back early, he didn't come back late, but he came back when I sacrificed to the sky, do you think it's really a coincidence?" ”
Qin Tong's eyes widened and he stammered, "Master, what do you mean...... Is it said that the emperor came back at this point on purpose? ”
"I can't say that, it's just that I have been treated as an abandoned son by my father, and now that my father is back, whether I am popular or not, I can't sit on this throne!" The breeze caressed lightly, her hair was flying, Qin Tong looked at the woman in front of her, and her heart was mixed.
"What is the master's plan?"
"There are people sitting on this throne, so I am naturally happy! Of course, it's going to snow, listening to An An, this snow is very unstable, if it passes now, maybe it can catch up with a good show! The smile on Xian Chen's lips deepened, causing Qin Tong to shudder.
Night, the Imperial Palace Study.
"My father came back safely this time, and my son should have taken good care of my father in Kyoto. However, Erchen Gui is a first-class protector general, but he failed to protect Dali well, so that Dali fell into the hands of thieves for two years, and Erchen had no face to see his father, and implored his father to send his sons to the frontier to set an example! ”
Xianchen spoke so eloquently that the emperor didn't know what to say, and finally had to agree.
When the imperial decree came down, everyone was shocked. As a party, Xian Chen was indifferent, after all, this result was coming by himself, wasn't it? But Qin Tong looked anxious, "Master, this emperor is too much, if you don't promote your official, you will be transferred to the border, this is really ......"
"Xiao'er, don't be so angry, this is the result of my coming. By the way, this time I left Beijing, and the affairs of Kyoto will be handed over to you, and if there is any trouble, report to me immediately, but understand? ”
Qin Tong wanted to say something more, but finally held back, "Yes, subordinates obey orders!" (To be continued.) )
