Chapter 488: Desire that transcends all things

"Bang, bang, bang, bang......" On the sparsely populated royal street, the crowd of black-pressed armored soldiers slowly surged over, and the sound of footsteps hit like ocean waves. Du Chenggui stood on the tower of Xuande Gate, staring at the scene in front of him, he felt a little difficult to breathe.

Behind him is a large area of palaces and palaces, the center of the world. Du Chenggui has never gone abroad to fight, and his duty after joining the army has always been to guard the imperial city. However, he understood that he was basically useless, and if there was an army that could really attack the imperial city, would it be useful to resist?

Now he doesn't have to resist. He held the Empress Dowager's decree in his hand, but he did not read it, because at the end of the edict he was warned not to show it.

"Open the door!" Du Chenggui finally shouted, "Guo Dashuai has returned to Beijing!" ”

The rows of soldiers in bright armor below did not say a word, silently opened the city gate, and the gate of the imperial city of "Ga ......" was slowly opened with ease.

A large number of forbidden troops poured into the imperial city from far and near, and the forwards rushed straight to the Daqing Gate, and the Daqing Gate was slowly opened in turn. The follow-up Tiger Ben Army divided to the left and right in an orderly manner, and quickly headed towards the Privy Council, the government hall, and the east and west gates like a diverted flood. Everything seems terrifying, but it is in order.

Guo Shao went straight to the square inside the Daqing Gate, on the high pedestal in front of the front, the center of the imperial power Jin Xiang Hall towered majestically in front of him, as if in the clouds. Someone was shouting and giving military orders, and the armies stopped in front of the palace, and countless soldiers and horses poured into this open space. Guo Shao also got down from the carriage, pressed his sword and walked to the bottom of the steps, and also stopped.

After a short time, I saw a large group of officials coming from Daqing Gate, Wei Renpu, Wang Pu and others stepped forward, and without saying a word, they knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty's holy life is boundless!" ”

Fan Zhen stood there stunned, and the general Luo Yanhuan on the side reached out and touched the hilt of the sword, glaring at him viciously. Fan Zhen also knelt on the ground and bowed his head silently.

Guo Shao's face immediately showed a kind expression, and he spread his hands to make a movement, as if he wanted to help everyone up, and he said kindly: "Hurry up, all the princes are the pillars of the Great Zhou." ”

In front of the countless soldiers and horses, everyone shouted without pressure: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Guo Shao really felt it again at this time, everyone had changed in front of him, Wei Renpu and Wang Pu were people who could joke with themselves before, but now everyone speaks with a clear eye, and will never say half a casual word.

Guo Shao said kindly: "Look, this matter is ...... I've always been determined to defend Tokyo, and I haven't changed my mind yet. But along the way, the soldiers supported me without saying anything, and I was really forced to ......"

Wang Pu immediately said: "The official family is right, and the ministers are looking forward to this day." ”

A group of people spoke cautiously, and then they saw that on the steps, several palace doors were slowly opened, and many eunuchs and palace maids came out of it with a child in their arms. When the boy saw the dense army in the square, he turned around and wanted to hide, but was stopped by a palace maid who pushed him forward.

Guo Shao looked up, but he didn't see Fu Jinzhan, and it was not good for her to show up on such an occasion.

The eunuch Yang Shiliang could see the scene, stepped forward calmly, unfolded an auspicious cloud silk with an expressionless face, and said sharply: "In the past, the world was in turmoil, Taizu and the first emperor collapsed early, and I succeeded to the throne at a young age. Fortunately, Guo Du inspected and guarded the royal family, so that he could be at peace. Guo Du inspected and maintained the imperial unity, opened up the territory, and made great achievements in the world; He is also the nephew of Taizu and the great-grandson of Yizu, and he should be the Son of Heaven in his name and righteousness. I should return to the Guo family. ”

Guo Shao listened, took off the weapon from his waist, and handed it to the side, before Lu Chengyong could do so, the eunuch Cao Tai hurriedly stepped forward and rushed to take it. Guo Shao slowly walked up the steps, no one followed behind him, and countless eyes watched him walk up the stone steps.

When he walked up, Chai Zongxun cried at the first sound of "wow". Guo Shao wondered, did he look terrible? Maybe I was a little nervous just now, and my face was not very good-looking, which scared the child. The palace maid next to her knelt on the ground and quietly coaxed the child, but she couldn't coax it. Outside the main gate of this Jinxiang Palace, the position is high, and the people below dare not speak, and the cry is very obvious, and it spreads far away.

Guo Shao only felt that this "ceremony" was a bit ridiculous, and because many people had changed their words to call themselves His Majesty, he was a child in front of him, and now he is pretending to excuse himself, which is really too fake.

He took the edict directly, but before he could speak. A group of eunuchs and palace maids knelt in front of him according to Chai Zongxun. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers below knelt down and shouted long live.

Guo Shao stood alone on the steps, he was stunned, and said: "Although I never thought about this, but as a descendant of the Guo family, now that I am still in power, I am sincerely afraid that I dare not refuse." had to take over the heavy responsibility of Taizu and the first emperor, and did not dare to live up to the world. ”

When they heard this, they shouted long live. Guo Shao waited for a while and said: "You take into account the overall situation, have great righteousness, and are my relatives, I should treat myself well and be named King Zheng." ”

Yang Shiliang pretended to attach his ear to Chai Zongxun, who was crying, and then said, "King Zheng Xie Your Majesty Longen!" ”

The child finally didn't have to stay here, and people hurried away with him. At this time, Li Chuyun and others took the lead and walked up the steps, followed by a group of civil officials and dozens of military generals who also walked to the top. A group of people hugged Guo Shao and walked in through the open temple door.

Stepping into the wide hall, there was not a single one inside, and the empty throne was high above. Guo Shao looked back left and right, and Wang Pu said: "Please sit down at the official family." ”

Guo Shao slowly walked towards that position...... He has been to the Jinxiang Palace, and it is also the only hall in the imperial city that has been there, after the Xuanyou Gate in the north, it is the harem, and the ministers usually do not enter. The places he had been to were very unfamiliar, and everything was very new.

Every step under his feet was heavy, and Guo Shao couldn't help but walk quite slowly. That position is the highest place in the world throughout the ages, and how many people have tried to go up with all of them! But there are a number of people who have sat there.

A supreme minister is actually nothing, and the powerful minister and the emperor are one step away, but this step is also the most difficult and dangerous step. It's not good to go up, and it's easy to roll down if you go up, and once you roll down, it's an abyss that will be ruined and ruined.

At this moment, Guo Shao actually felt a little trance, it was really like a dream! The throne is so close? He could hear his own heartbeat, the excitement, the blood, the apprehension, the intensity of emotions that had never been seen in two lifetimes.

He gradually understood the magic of the place, the strong magic barrier that seemed to destroy all needs.

Guo Shao hadn't thought much about being an emperor before, but at this moment there was an illusion and a momentary impulse: even if he only sat for a while, even if he had to break his bones in the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of wanting to sit up! Desperate temptation!

No wonder many people are at the end of their rope and have to become a king! No wonder "slow reign" is an extremely rare kind of inhuman patience! No wonder countless heroes can't wait to be emperors everywhere! Of course, there are many more people who are like this, Guo Shao can't remember clearly, anyway, all kinds of people and countless people all have the same desire! It's not a human cause, it's the nature it has.
