Chapter 22: Becoming Emperor
In the original history, Liu Zhiyuan called the emperor not so complicated, and after refusing the persuasion of his ministers and officers and soldiers several times, he also agreed. But this time, with Liu Chengyou's participation in the planning, the momentum was very loud, and after the surface work was done, a drama of "yellow robe and body" was still added.
The yellow robe is all put on, and the matter of "saving the driver" in the east is naturally impossible today. Among the ten thousand armies, Liu Zhiyuan was depressed and depressed, and was very helpless to be "coerced" to return the same way.
"The Son of Heaven has returned to the city! The Son of Heaven has returned to the city! ”
On the side of Jinyang, the city gate was wide open, and more than ten knights flew straight in, shuttling quickly between the streets of Fangshi in the city, and their mouths kept repeating loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
In the past few days, the theme of the whole city is "petition", "persuasion", and "support", and the people have been very sensitive.
In a market, a small number of guests gathered together to drink and chat, looking at the galloping knights, some people were a little confused, puzzled: "Didn't you say that you went to Hebei to rescue the Son of Heaven?" I set off early in the morning, it's only been half a day, has it been rescued? ”
In the market, there is no shortage of smart people. Hearing this, even a middle-aged man dressed as a literati replied with a smile: "I'm afraid it's the new son of heaven who has returned to the city!" ”
"The new Son of Heaven? Could it be the king of Beiping? "There is more than one smart person.
"It must be the king of Beiping!" The middle-aged man affirmed, raised his wine glass and shouted: "Everyone, the king of Beiping is on the throne, the world is saved, we should congratulate him, and a total of white will be floated!" ”
The "warm" response in the market is just a microcosm of Jinyang City. After about an hour, the royal car returned, and a large number of people gathered at the city gate to "warmly" welcome.
Driving into the city, all the way through, there are the cheers of the soldiers and people in the city. Most of these people were fooled, and in their opinion, the new Son of Heaven was "ordained" by them. The petition in front of the Beiping Palace, that day, the effect was obviously very good.
As for Taiyuan Palace, facing the palace door wide open, there was no stop at all, and it did not stop until the front of the main hall.
Taiyuan Palace, especially the main hall, has obviously been carefully cleaned, and it is completely new when it comes to the eye. The palace gates have been occupied, and the roads are full of energetic guards.
In front of the palace, headed by Liu Chengxun, supplemented by Liu Chong, Yang Wei and other important ministers, a large number of Hedong civil and military officers were waiting early. When Liu Zhiyuan got out of the car, they all bowed down: "Wait for the ministers to meet Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Zhiyuan's military armor is still only wearing the yellow robe, probably to reflect his "voluntary" situation. glanced at the large number of people kneeling in front of him, he basically knew these people, but his mood at this time was very different.
"Zhongqing...... Flat! The mood was obviously not as calm as his face showed, and Liu Zhiyuan spoke with a slight trill.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" As soon as he was civil and military, his excited voice shouted very neatly.
didn't say anything more, took a deep breath, and under the moon in the hearts of the people, Liu Zhiyuan solemnly walked towards the main hall, crossed the high threshold, and walked straight towards the throne.
He received the book in Taiyuan Palace, read the edict, held the enthronement ceremony, and accepted the worship of the ministers......
This series of events, in fact, is enough to prove that Liu Zhiyuan's "yellow robe" is definitely not an accident. Yang Wei and the others were too well prepared.....
Inside and outside the hall, there are full of civil and military officials, Liu Chengyou knelt in it, his eyes were very careful to glance at Liu Zhiyuan on the throne, so tall and majestic, under the blessing of supreme power, the aura seemed to be more sufficient.
At this moment, Liu Chengyou can hardly contain the imagination in his heart, what kind of beautiful scenery he sees when he sits in that position.
Yu Guang glanced at Liu Chengxun, who was at the left of the main hall, and saw the eldest brother's expression of suppressed excitement, and his brows couldn't help frowning. Under his inherent thinking, this country must be inherited by him in the future, but now, no matter how you look at it and how you compare, Liu Chengxun is the first heir.
After all, he is the prince of Beiping, who is both long and virtuous, and is loved by Liu Zhiyuan, and respected by civil and military...... And if he wants to take the position, unless Liu Chengxun suddenly falls ill as in history, this is also Liu Chengyou's inherent idea.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but think about it more, what if there was any "accident"? Although Liu Chengxun's body is not strong, he has not experienced any major illnesses and disasters, if he ......
The more he thought about it, a dark little snake began to bite Liu Chengyou's heart little by little.
In the call of "long live" from the ministers, Liu Chengyou buried his head lower and lower, as if he wanted to hide his autistic expression, but he couldn't help but have all kinds of complex thoughts and emotions in his heart.
The enthronement ceremony was not very long, and all kinds of rituals were simplified to the extreme, and could even be described as simple. In the civil and military affairs of Hedong, there are not many people who are academic, and no one will thanklessly propose to hold a ceremony according to the cumbersome "old system and old ceremony".
After accepting the pilgrimage, Liu Zhiyuan officially entered the Taiyuan Palace. And the few palace ladies and eunuchs in the palace, all parties are also busy, and tonight, the new emperor wants to feast the ministers.
The ministers dispersed, the civil ministers pacified the people, and the military generals raised the army, striving to ensure the stability and order of the new emperor's accession to the throne.
There is no intention of conferring official honors on the spot, and the last scene itself is already a bit "mysterious", if even the list of meritorious rewards is prepared early, it will seem too fake.
However, for those middle- and lower-level officers and non-commissioned officers who fought hard to support them, Liu Zhiyuan issued an edict arrogantly, asking Wang Zhangda to go out of the treasury to collect money and grain, purchase wine and meat, reward the three armies of Jinyang, and divide the rest of the armies under the former outer Hedong to reward the sergeants.
Liu Zhiyuan attaches great importance to the army.
Liu Zhiyuan became the emperor, and the Beiping Royal Mansion was automatically upgraded to a hidden residence. And the news of his proclamation as emperor reached the palace as soon as possible. The servants in the house were jubilant and excited, and the king became an official, and they, the real "chicken dogs", were naturally indispensable.
Compared with the excitement of the people below, the Li family shows the temperament of a big woman, calm and generous, even if it is joy, it seems very calm.
When Liu Chengyou took people back to the palace, the jubilant movement in the palace had subsided under the control of the Li family, and everything was as usual, which Liu Chengyou was quite surprised. Under the respectful guidance of the servant into the palace, Liu Chengxun immediately came up excitedly: "Second brother, is my father really the emperor?" ”
This kid is not afraid of Liu Chengyou's Sima face at this time.
"Hmm!" Liu Chengyou nodded without a smile, then looked at him calmly, and said lightly: "In the future, you will also be a nobleman, every move, you should be an example, and you need to restrain your behavior......"
"Why are you the same as your mother, opening your mouth is preaching!" The boy was in the mood, obviously not listening, and complained slightly.
"Where's my mother?"
"In the main hall."
In the main hall, the Li family and the concubines in the house were waiting quietly, and the Geng family was also sitting in the corner.
Liu Chengyou was dressed in military armor, and he stepped into it with the guards heroically, and Li's voice was still so kind: "Erlang." ”
Facing Li's gaze, Liu Chengyou bowed down first: "My father ascended the throne and became the emperor, and my son came to welcome my mother into the palace!" ”
"In the future, you will be the most noble woman in the world, merciful to the people, and a mother in the world!" On the way to Taiyuan Palace, Liu Chengyou approached the car and took the initiative to say to Li.
