To the north of the Hanging Gourd, in the camp on the bank of the Rushui River, in the Imperial Palace, the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister are receiving officials from all over the country.

The young Son of Heaven Yuwen Weicheng, dressed in the robes of the Son of Heaven, sat on the throne with the Empress Dowager Chi Mingyue, on the first side of the throne, the Prime Minister and the King of Shu Chi Dan were sitting in danger, and there were Praetorian Guards and soldiers lined up on the left and right

There is a screen behind the throne, and behind the screen sits the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, the princess of Yu, Chi Chifan, and the grandmother of the Son of Heaven, the Duchess of the Kingdom of Xuan.

At the foot of the steps, officials from all over the country lined up according to their ranks, dressed in newly made court clothes and official uniforms, and saluted the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and the Prime Minister who sat at the top.

These are the specialties of various states and counties, with all kinds of cloth, precious herbs, all kinds of jewelry, rare birds and animals.

Yuwen Weicheng looked at the many gifts in front of him, and couldn't help but be fascinated, but with his aunt by his side and his aunt sitting on the screen behind him, he didn't dare to move, so he could only sit upright to maintain the "majesty of the Son of Heaven".

Finally waited for the tributes from all over the country to go through, Yuwen Weicheng shook his spirits and was ready to speak according to the memorized content, but his aunt didn't say anything, so he could only wait.

The prime minister and the king of Shu got up and spoke at length to the officials under the ranks, and then turned around and stood facing the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother on the throne, and the Queen Mother Chi Mingyue also became nervous when she saw this.

I only heard Wei Chi Dan lead the salute and said: "Gu officials and ministers are in charge, Your Majesty Fu Wei and the Queen Mother are auspicious and primitive, and the courtesies are ready to be happy, and the ministers are not able to celebrate the Great Celebration, and I would like to live tens of millions of years." ”

All the officials followed the same words, of course, the name after "Gu Guanchen" was the official's own name, and whoever followed the pronunciation of "惇" would make a joke.

Yu Chi Mingyue coughed lightly, now she is a puppet... No, it was the time for the Son of Heaven to speak, and Yuwen Weicheng said aloud as if he was reciting the texts taught by Mr. in class: "I have first ascended to the throne, and I have worked diligently day and night, and I am afraid of stagnation in public affairs..."

Yuwen Weicheng endorsed in front, and Wei Chi Chifan, who was a mother, was worried in the back, this kind of scene was crepe, and his son didn't recognize many words, so he could only memorize the pronunciation and sing it like learning to sing, she accompanied her son to memorize it for a long time last night, and now she is afraid that something will go wrong and make people laugh.

The son's name is the Son of Heaven and he is actually a puppet, this is a fact, Yu Chi Chifan only wants his son to live in peace, which is all in the thoughts of her uncle Wei Chi Dian, so she can only hope that her son will perform as well as possible and be able to 'retire after success'.

No matter what, she has to raise her son to grow up, start a family, give birth to children, and continue Yuwenwen's bloodline.

Thinking of this, Wei Chi was full of sorrow from her heart, but she didn't cry, she endured her sadness, listened to her son quietly, and finally finished speaking, and the civil and military officials saluted and retreated, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

After the process of summoning officials from all over the world was over, many people withdrew from the main hall, and the solemn atmosphere in the hall was swept away, and it became lively, and Yuwen Weicheng was like a schoolboy after class, cheering to see the excitement (tribute), and he didn't know what he was doing until now.

"Auntie, I want to touch that pair of white deer."

"Thorny, the deer will top and kick people, and they are not allowed to touch them."

"Oh..."

Seeing his grandson pouting, Wang's heart ached: "Oh, you just let him touch the white deer..."

。。。。。。

Outside the main hall of the palace, Prime Minister Wei Chi Dian was talking with the assassins and the county guards, and this time he summoned officials from all over the world to meet the Son of Heaven outside the Hanging Fortress City, of course, not to receive gifts, but to show the majesty of the new monarch, and by the way, knock and knock some people, so that they can be honest.

The majesty of the Son of Heaven is not supported by a magnificent book and a splendid palace, but by a brave and warlike army, and the army he commands, distributed in a large number of cavalry stationed in nearby states and counties, is the majesty of the new king.

And also his majesty.

It is now approaching the end of the year, less than a month away from the Yuan Day, and in previous years, the Son of Heaven would hold a court meeting, the Yuan Meeting, to celebrate the most important festival of the year with the civil and military officials, but now it is impossible.

The Son of Heaven was not in the national capital, and the Manchu Dynasty ministers could not all go south to celebrate the first day with the Son of Heaven outside the Hanging Gourd City, and they could not hold the Yuan meeting on that day, but this did not mean that Wei Chidun would let the Son of Heaven blow a cold wind by the Rushui.

Therefore, he asked the main officials of the neighboring states and counties to come to the Son of Heaven to make a big scene, which was counted as the first Yuan meeting of the new monarch, and also let these officials know which Son of Heaven to worship, and by the way, look at the soldiers and horses he brought, and don't have any thoughts that should not be had.

Such an arrangement has accidentally turned into a remedy for another matter.

Wei Chi Dan's own brother Wei Chi Youqi was attacked by the Chen army in Guangling, Jiangbei, and lost Guangling by surprise, the army was scattered, and the situation in Huainan was reversed in an instant, and Wei Chi Dan was almost so angry that he vomited blood after receiving the news.

Guangling's defeat and humiliation of the country, if such a fiasco is replaced by someone else, he will kill someone, but he is his own brother, even if he really wants to kill, he can't pass the pass of his mother Wang's level, so after Wei Chi Dan jumped like a thunderbolt, he could only take measures to deal with it.

The official army was defeated like this in Huainan, and Wei Chi Youqi, who was the commander-in-chief, could not escape the blame, and Wei Chi Dan sent a messenger to Zhongli, where Wei Chi Youqi retreated, and announced the punishment decision in public: take the title, fight one hundred, and still hold the post of the Taishang Shuling of the Southeast Dao Daxing, and make meritorious contributions.

Although the battle was defeated, the military power and Wei Chi Dun would never give it to outsiders, and this was the principle that thunder could not move.

Therefore, even if the punishment of Wei Chi Youqi is a bit cover-up, Wei Chi Dan must be cheeky and let his younger brother continue to hold the power of the army and command the Huainan official army, so as not to be taken advantage of by others and become another Gao Huan.

This defeat, coupled with the defeat of Wei Chi Jing at Tongguan not long ago, made the situation facing Yu Chi more and more severe, from the initial comprehensive advantage, to a stalemate.

The strategy of preemptively attacking and quickly destroying the Yuwen clan failed, but was succeeded by the other party's sneak attack and was deadlocked until now, while Jiangnan Chen Guo showed great courage and actually attacked Guangling successfully, so that his side would have to fight on both sides, which Wei Chidun did not expect in advance.

Therefore, the originally planned incident of officials from all over the country meeting the Son of Heaven has become a good opportunity for him to stabilize people's hearts, so that everyone knows that the main force of the official army is here, and he will definitely be able to ensure that Henan and Huaibei are not lost, lest one day someone drink too much and get dizzy and do something that should not be done, which will not be good.

The successive setbacks made Wei Chi a little anxious, but the situation was not out of control, his main force was still there, and even if the Chen army occupied Huainan, it was unable to capture Huaibei, so the main and secondary things should be distinguished.

Looking at the Hanging Gourd City in the south, Wei Chidun's eyes are still firm, if the situation in the world is compared to a game of chess, the Hanging Gourd is a life and death disaster, so he is determined to win the Hanging Gourd.

Wei Chidun knew what was at stake, and he decided that even if he couldn't take the hanging gourd for a while, he would never break the siege, and he would never open the iron cage and let Yu Wenwen, a mad dog, run out and bite people again!
