Chapter 1595: Enthronement Ceremony
In the morning, after making the assignment, I took Da Zhuang to meet the eldest prince, and then took a car to the palace with the eldest prince and the eldest concubine.
The streets near the palace have been cordoned off, all roads are closed to traffic, except for the specially permitted official vehicles, and festive red lanterns have been hung on both sides of the streets.
Although it was very early, many people had already risen early and gathered on the side of the street to witness the grand ceremony.
Today, except for the impassable cars, people can still come and go freely, and the square outside the palace is also open, showing the grand scene of the new emperor's accession to the throne.
In addition, a number of foreign envoys will come to congratulate and witness the birth of this historic moment.
Before ascending the throne, Murong Hang had received congratulatory messages from many other heads of state, and in the eyes of the outside world, Murong Hang was already equivalent to the emperor of Dayan.
Seeing the layout of the street, the eldest prince's eyes were full of jealousy, he was the eldest son, and all this should be enjoyed by him.
The same is true for the eldest princess, she also wants to reach the top and become the queen and accept the worship of everyone.
When they arrived at the square outside the Shenwei Gate, the soldiers of the Shenwei Battalion were already dressed uniformly and guarding the various passages.
The decoration of the square is more festive than that of the streets, and the national flag on the square has been lowered, waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne at the same time.
In the Imperial Palace, the square between the Shenwei Gate and the Central Hall is full of the mighty posture of the Shenwei Battalion, which is intimidating and shows the majesty of the royal family.
Stands were set up on the left and right sides of the square, which were reserved for important people from home and abroad who were allowed to enter the palace to observe the ceremony.
The enthronement ceremony has not yet begun, and I already feel a solemn and solemn atmosphere.
Today, the eldest prince and the eldest princess have changed into traditional royal costumes, and Murong Hang will do the same, wearing traditional dragon robes to ascend to the Central Hall and sit on the dragon chair in the Central Palace.
Looking at the main hall, I have been fanatical about it more than once.
The eldest prince walked in front with a solemn expression and led me to the designated side hall to rest.
When I arrived at the side hall, I saw that the three princes Murong Qi, the three imperial concubines, Murong Qing, Prince Yong, Prince Rui, and other members of the royal family had already arrived.
They were chatting and discussing, and since it was a side hall, a temporary lounge, it was not so serious, and the atmosphere was more relaxed.
The eldest prince entered the side hall, greeted the royal staff, and then sat down and chatted.
On the surface, it seems to be quite harmonious, and no one will write mental activity on their faces, but in fact, I know that at least half of the people in this side hall have evil intentions.
The eldest prince and the third prince exchanged glances frequently, but neither said anything about today's actions.
There were many people in the side hall who were close to the royal family, but Ji Shaojun did not come.
His identity is extremely sensitive, and he is also the most important trump card under the hands of the third prince, so he will never appear in the palace easily, so as not to be taken down by the second prince Murong Hang's people on the spot, and the plan will be completely ruined.
I am different from Ji Shaojun, in today's terms, my importance is obviously not as important as Ji Shaojun, whether I can be taken down or not, it will have little impact on the overall situation.
Murong Qing and several princes have similar feelings, today the second Murong Hang ascended the throne, she was also happy for Murong Hang, smiled and said a lot of words, the eldest prince was also smiling and casually agreed.
After staying in the side hall for a while, I never saw the fourth prince Murong Siqi, and the eldest prince whispered to me: "Xiao Kun, why hasn't the fourth prince come yet?" ”
I whispered, "Maybe I'm accompanying the second prince, he is now a celebrity under the second prince." As he spoke, he glanced at Prince Yong and Murong Majestic, who were opposite, intentionally or unintentionally.
Prince Yong's Mansion has now switched to the Four Princes and has become the most relied on force under the Four Princes, far surpassing Zhu Shangrong, who was very valued by the Four Princes before.
Prince Yong and Murong Xiongwei, father and son, were smiling and seemed to be happy.
But I know that although the fourth prince Murong Siqi has made it clear that he will support the second prince, Prince Yong will never be willing to accept this result.
So he should be the frustrated party, but in my opinion, he is smiling happily and looks like he is in the chest.
If it's just Prince Yong, then it's very likely that he is acting, and with his old scheming, he can also be realistic, but Murong Majestic, which makes me wonder if Murong Siqi has any killer features.
From the first day I met Murong Siqi, I felt that among the princes, this fourth child was the most difficult, and his ability would not be as weak as it seemed on the surface, but it seemed that he had been trying his best to keep quiet and hide himself.
This feeling is even stronger at the moment.
I have a hunch that the Four Princes will definitely have a shocking performance today.
These are my instincts, and there is no evidence, so I don't plan to tell the eldest prince, and he may not take it seriously.
I was just secretly vigilant, thinking that today's plan might have to be slightly modified, not only to pay attention to the Taiping Temple, but also to pay attention to the Four Princes.
After staying in the side hall for nearly an hour, Shi Zhao outside called.
Because today's occasion is more special, I set the mobile phone call reminder to vibrate, and after taking out my mobile phone and seeing that the caller ID is Shi Zhao's, I went to the side of the eldest prince and whispered: "Your Highness, I have to go to the palace." ”
The eldest prince understood what I meant, I was going to leave the palace, naturally something happened outside, and immediately nodded slightly and said, "Be careful." ”
I immediately got up quietly, and without saying hello to the others, I stepped outside.
Murong Xiongwei noticed that I was withdrawing from the side hall, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a sneer.
It was as if he looked at me like a clown.
When I exited the side hall, an entourage of the third prince walked up and whispered, "Brother Kun, remember to contact Commander Ji by phone and communicate well. ”
I nodded, and stepped back.
Out of the Shenwei Gate, a lot of ordinary people have gathered in the square outside, looking from a distance, there are crowds of people, people are boiling, many people are discussing the grand ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement today, and some people are holding mobile phones to take pictures of the scene, posting Weibo or something.
Since the emperor is basically for life, that is to say, there will only be a new emperor enthronement ceremony every few decades, and it is very rare for everyone to be able to participate in such a grand event as today.
Therefore, whenever there is an opportunity, the conditions will basically come.
In addition, although the royal family has no real power, it is still a spiritual symbol of Dayan, and the emperor represents Dayan, which has a history of more than a thousand years, even if it is the image of Shoufu in the hearts of the people.
Today, in order to show the status of the emperor, Murong Hang actually prepared a large amount of money and rewarded some old people.
As in ancient times, amnesty for the world is no longer possible, and the emperor does not have that power, but it can be manifested through rewards.
A variety of elderly people from all over the country have been selected to gather in the square outside the Kamui Gate, and at the time of the ceremony, they will also be allowed to enter the palace and receive a reward.
These old people are all over eighty years old, and all the expenses for the travel are borne by Murong Hang, and each of them will receive a reward.
After getting into the car, I called Shi Zhao's phone back.
"Hey, Brother Kun, the people of Taipingguan have left Taipingguan."
As soon as the phone rang, Shi Zhao told me.
I hummed and said, "I'll be right back, I'll talk about it when I get back." Then he drove back to the villa with Da Zhuang.
Back at the villa, all the younger brothers had already assembled and stood by, all of them were in high spirits, and the moment they saw me, they greeted me in unison: "Brother Kun." ”
I nodded, then walked into the house and talked to Shi Zhao and Brother Yao.
As soon as I entered the house and saw Shi Zhao and Brother Yao, I asked, "Did the three princes send the things they promised?" ”
Brother Yao said, "Not yet, I don't know what's going on." ”
I hummed and said, "I'll make a call to Ji Shaojun to ask." Then he took out his mobile phone and called Ji Shaojun's number.
The phone rang twice, and Ji Shaojun answered the phone.
"Hey, Brother Kun."
Ji Shaojun's voice came.
I said, "Commander Ji, now that the people of Taipingguan have left Taipingguan, why haven't the things promised by the three princes been sent yet?" ”
Ji Shaojun said: "There was a mistake temporarily, but now it has been settled, my people are already on the way to send it to you, you can receive it later." ”
I said, "You'd better hurry, or my people won't be able to handle the peace." ”
Ji Shaojun said: "Don't worry, it will definitely arrive." ”
