"Lu Xiangjie mourns, the emperor mourns, and the world mourns. But the overall situation needs someone to preside, and Lu Xiang has to take care of himself. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty...... I have done my best all my life, but I didn't expect to sacrifice my life for the country in this way, and this move will be brilliant and prosperous. I am blessed by heaven in the Great Zhou, and it is a blessing for all subjects to have such an emperor. ”

Someone persuaded Lu Zhongtiandao.

Lu Zhongtian raised his head and nodded: "You are right, the more this matter, the more we must sincerely unite and stabilize the overall situation." The old man can expect that there will be rumors of slander and slander in the near future, and I hope that all of you will fulfill your duties and not listen to the rumors spread by the thieves. The country cannot be without a king for a day, although the harem suffered a tragedy and the emperor was newly mourned, but this matter of establishing a monarch cannot be delayed. What do you think, ladies and gentlemen? ”

"What Lu Xiang said is extremely true, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and this matter cannot be delayed." The ministers said one after another.

"Well, in this case, the prime minister will read out the edict of succession, and today the new monarch will ascend the throne, and the ceremony will be held on a certain day. What do you think? Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice.

"It's all up to Lu Xiang's arrangement." Qunchen said.

Lu Zhongtian turned his head to look at Guo Xu and said, "Your Highness, what do you think?" ”

Guo Xu's heart was about to explode with joy, but he also knew that he couldn't show eagerness, and he needed to be half-pushed. So he said in a lamented voice: "Lu Xiang, Yang Shumi, my lords." There has been such a big change in the palace, and I am still in confusion. In addition, my father and the queen mother are newly mourned, and the murderer is at large, so how can I ascend the throne. ”

Lu Zhongtian said: "We can understand His Royal Highness's feelings, but the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, the burden of my Great Zhou has been handed over to your shoulders, and the emperor's instructions when he left are vividly in my ears. All the subjects of the world are looking at you, please take the throne of Your Highness. ”

Lu Zhongtian spoke, and slowly fell to his knees. The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted: "Please take the throne Your Highness!" ”

Guo Xu looked at the courtiers who were crawling all over the ground, and he wanted to sing a song with excitement in his heart. For many years, this has been a dream in his heart, and he has long dreamed that one day, the ministers will be able to prostrate in front of him, and he will be able to become the lord of the Great Zhou. Now, it's finally happening.

"Your Highness, please take the throne!" The ministers shouted in unison.

Guo Xu swallowed and foamed, and said in a trembling voice: "Flat...... Numerous...... Aiqing ...... Flat. Listen to your ...... Is. ”

With the support of an attendant, Guo Xu slowly stepped onto the high throne and slowly sat in a position. He put his hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, rubbing the extremely smooth dragon head rubbed by the emperors, and his heart was extremely happy and complacent. It's all my own. All the people and all the people under the whole world belong to themselves. His adventure was successful, and the winner of this gamble deserved it. The ambition in my heart is about to unfold. I don't have to look up to others anymore, worry about this and worry about that, I can do whatever I want.

After reading the edict of succession, the ministers bowed three times and shouted long live, swearing allegiance to the new emperor.

The next step is to issue an edict to grant amnesty to the world, reward meritorious officials, and comfort everyone. However, before Guo Xu opened his golden mouth, there was a loud laugh in front of the main hall.

There are few people who dare to laugh uncontrollably on such an occasion, and Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun are out, I'm afraid no one dares to do this. Everyone looked back in astonishment, only to see a figure slowly walking in at the entrance of the hall.

The ministers recognized this person, who was not wearing official uniforms, his hair was disheveled, and his face was haggard, as if he had not slept all night. With a sarcastic smile on his face, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked step by step.

"Du Weigrad! Why did you come here early this morning? Is it so lazy? Wu Chunlai shouted in a deep voice.

The person who came was Du Weichuan, who had not slept all night and sat under the lamp. Listening to the shouts and killings outside, and listening to the shouts and killings slowly subsided. Watching the window paper slowly turn white, until the red sun rose, I washed my face and went up. It's not that he didn't go to court, but he kept standing at the door of the palace and listening, because he couldn't face the person who killed his father and brother, and he couldn't face the sanctimonious Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and others.

When he heard the rumors made by Lu Zhongtian, he labeled King Liang's father and son and Lin Jue as rebels, and sighed in his heart. When he heard the news that Lin Jue and the others had escaped from the capital, he was very relieved. He didn't regret that he didn't follow Lin Jue to leave, he didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay and tell people the truth. He couldn't leave as dashing as Lin Jue, so he felt ashamed of the court and Guo Chong. He's going to do something.

When Lu Zhongtian finished reciting the edict of succession, he walked in.

In the face of Wu Chunlai's questioning, Du Weijian didn't pay any attention to him at all, and only bowed to Guo Xu on the throne.

"Du Wei has gradually seen His Royal Highness King Huai!" Du Wei gradually said.

"Bold and rude! Why don't you give a big gift when you see the new emperor? Do you still call His Royal Highness King Huai? Unreasonable! Wu Chunlai shouted.

Du Wei gradually laughed and said, "Who is the emperor?" Can the person who ascended the throne and plotted rebellion and usurper be the emperor? It is already my highest etiquette for me to call him His Royal Highness King Huai. If it weren't for the fact that I am a person who keeps etiquette, I should scold him at this moment for being a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unrighteous thief. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and there was an uproar.

Guo Xu's face turned pale, and he shouted: "Bold." Du Weichuan, you're afraid you're crazy! You dare to insult me. Today is the day I ascend the throne, I don't want to worry about you, if you are tired of living, I can fulfill you. ”

Du Wei gradually sneered: "I want you to do it?" Who are you? What did you do? You know it in your heart. And you guys! ”

Du Wei gradually turned around and pointed his finger at Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and the others with gloomy faces: "You, you, you have you." You are all rebels and thieves, usurping the throne and plotting rebellion, disregarding morality, disloyalty, and filial piety. You want to fool the world, but you can't fool me. ”

"Crazy! This man is crazy! Come on, fork out. Lu Zhongtian shouted in a deep voice.

Several guards in front of the palace rushed forward, Du Wei gradually flipped his wrist, a dagger in his hand, against his throat, and reprimanded: "No one is allowed to approach, otherwise my blood will be splashed here." You say I'm crazy, I'm not crazy, I'm just telling you the truth. lest you deceive the world, and conceal the sins of excesses and usurpations. ”

"If you want to die, you will die, and no one can pull you. Take! Yang Jun shouted coldly.

The guards rushed forward, and Du Wei gradually yelled, "If it weren't for the weakness of your heart, why didn't you even have the courage to let me speak?" All colleagues listened, the edict of succession was fake, the real national seal had been sent to Lord Lin by Qian Delu yesterday evening, and the national seal on this edict was fake...... Let me go...... And also...... Yesterday evening...... Guo Xu killed the crown prince and forced the emperor to death. Lu Zhongtian and Yang Jun still have ...... Zhao Yuankang...... They're all in the same group. They are all rebels and thieves...... They are all usurpers and rebels. Lord Lin refused to be with him, so he ...... Escaped from the capital. The little prince intended to raise troops to set things right, and the army was defeated and escaped. Don't listen to these people deceive the world, you are favored by the court, and the emperor's grace is mighty, you can't be in cahoots with them, you have to tell the truth to the world. That's not your new emperor, that's the beast who killed his father, killed his brother, killed the queen mother, and killed the queen......"

Several guards dragged Du Wei out of the hall, and Du Wei gradually screamed while struggling violently. Everyone was shocked when they heard what he said, if his words were true, then last night was actually a usurpation coup d'état launched by Lu Zhongtian, Guo Xu, and Yang Jun, and the emperor and the crown prince were not killed by the prince's father and son and Lin Jue, but by Guo Xu. It's mad and dehumanizing.

"Shut his mouth, stop him. Drag him out, drag him out and behead! Guo Xu's face turned pale, and he screamed at the dragon chair in a gaffe.

His words are even more demented, which almost corroborates Du Weiji's words. Originally, many people suspected that Du Wei was talking nonsense, but Guo Xu was so scared that he wanted him to shut up, but he wanted to cover up.

The guards covered Du Weichuan's mouth with their hands, Du Weijian was tall and not a weak person. Suddenly, he struggled hard, broke free from the restraints of several guards, and rushed to the side of the pillar, shouting loudly.

"I, Du Wei, today prove the truth of what I said by death...... He will never be a servant of a man who kills his father and his brother. Emperor...... Ministers go with you. ”

"Bang!" With a sound, Du Wei gradually hit his head on the pillar of the red hall of the giant dragon with fangs and claws. Maybe it was an illusion, and the surrounding ministers seemed to feel the entire hall tremble, but in fact, this was impossible. It was their hearts that were shaking, and their hearts were shaken by Du Wei's gradual determination and what was happening in front of them.

In an exclamation, Du Weiji's body fell to the sky. The bluestone corridor pillar can not be shaken by flesh and blood, this impact, the skull was shattered, the head was covered with blood, and he died on the spot.

The ministers shouted in astonishment and made a mess. Lu Zhongtian shouted in a deep voice: "Above the main hall, don't mess with the rules. It's just a madman to die, what's there to be afraid of? Today, on the day of the new emperor's enthronement, this madman came to disgust people, and he deserved to die by spreading rumors and slandering people. Someone came, dragged out, and the attendant cleaned the floor. ”

Du Weiji's body was moved out, and the attendants brought a few buckets of water to wash the ground, and the blood stains were gone, leaving no traces. Dead a person is actually nothing at all. Even if he is Du Weichuan, the deputy envoy of the third division of the imperial court, if he dies, he will die, and he will not be able to control the overall situation at all. The words that Du Wei gradually spoke, even if they caused a shock in people's hearts, told the so-called truth he knew. But at this time, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to do anything or say anything. Everything has been settled, even if it is a usurpation and rebellion, Guo Xu's position as emperor is unshakable, but it has just left a shadow in the hearts of many people.

Du Weijian has a straightforward personality, and he resigned angrily at the beginning. He studied and entered the government with the ambition of serving the country, participated in the reform of the law with the dream of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and returned to the court again to do things with the heart of dedication and loyalty to the people. To some extent, he and Yan Fang are very similar. But when all his dreams were shattered, and after witnessing that even Lin Jue, whom he admired so much, chose to retreat at a critical time, he had actually fallen into extreme confusion. This is exactly his tragedy. A person who pursues perfection too much, a person who cannot tolerate darkness and human nature, an idealist, a person with a pure heart, is destined to not exist in this muddy and filthy world. Like a meteor streaked across the sky, the brilliance is instantaneous, and it annihilates eternity.

No matter what can stop the fact that Guo Xu ascended the throne, after a small episode, Guo Xu officially promulgated the edict of enthronement, changed the Yuan and rejuvenated the country, granted amnesty to the world, and rewarded the ministers. The Great Zhou Dynasty has a new master from now on, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has entered the first year of rejuvenation.
