Ten Shenwei General Cannons stood in front of him, and Lin Jue and everyone around him also let out exclamations. I didn't think this divine power of the cannon before, but now standing in front of the ten behemoths, people feel a sense of awe-inspiring reverence in their hearts. The cannon is silent, but it has its own majesty.

Lin Jue slowly boarded one of the carts, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed it on the cold cannon barrel, and there was an indescribable feeling of steadiness in his heart. These ten Shenwu cannons have exhausted all the refined iron reserves in the mountain, and I am afraid that they are about to run out of all the gunpowder. Hopefully, they won't let themselves down and will be able to excel in the siege. Once General Shenwei's artillery performs well in the siege, it will become an all-round soldier and horse in the siege field for the Luoyan Army, and it will be a truly invincible army.

"Marshal, there are cannonballs here, please check." Liang Qi pointed to a wooden box road made of rough logs on the side of the gun mount.

Lin Jue personally pried open the lid of the wooden box, and among the grass inside, large black iron balls the size of bowls were impressive. These balls are cut and stored in straw mats to prevent them from colliding with each other and being damaged during transportation. Affects the firing of shells.

Lin Jue stretched out his hand and took out one to hold it in his hand, the iron ball was heavy, about twenty or thirty pounds. The exterior is extremely smooth, and it is obviously finely polished. In just a few days, the masters and men in the Luoyan Army Arsenal had obviously put in a great deal of hard work. Whether it is the Kamui cannon or these solid shells, after the casting is completed, the barrel and the appearance of the shells need to be carefully polished to ensure that the two are smooth and unhindered, and to ensure the safety of the cannon.

"One iron bullet is twenty-eight pounds, and each Shenwei general cannon is equipped with four boxes of iron bullets, a total of eighty pieces. There were also 200 spare iron bullets. The 20,000 catties of refined iron and 19,000 catties of iron ingots in Luoyan Valley were all used up. Liang Qi said in a deep voice.

Lin Jue nodded slowly, this is indeed the last belongings in Luoyan Valley, all of which are in front of him. Ten Shenwei cannons and 1,000 iron bullets will depend on whether they can break through the walls of the capital. The premise is that the Kamui cannon can be fired normally and can exert its power as it was designed.

"Cover it with an oilcloth and fence it, Sun Dayong, you personally take someone to guard it. No one is to approach the place where the Kamui cannon is stored without my orders. Violators, no mercy! Lin Jue ordered in a deep voice.

Sun Dayong bowed down and shouted: "Follow the orders of the marshal." ”

Lin Jue jumped out of the cart and walked quickly to the big tent, and commanded: "Gather all the generals of the army to come to the big tent to discuss the siege of the city." ”

"Yes!" Several guards agreed in unison, turned on their horses, and galloped towards the camps of the various armies.

……

In Bianliang City, after yesterday's farce, Liu Zhenbang knelt in the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion for an hour, and Lu Zhongcai summoned him. Although Lu Zhongtian was very annoyed, he also understood that someone must have done something to do this. Liu Zhenbang is a confidant by his side after all, and he can't blame him for this kind of thing at this time. And he also needs Liu Zhenbang to arrange his accession to the throne.

Since his heart to ascend the throne as emperor is exposed in broad daylight, there is actually nothing to taboo. Someone stirs up the situation, which means that the other party does not want to see himself ascended the throne as the emperor. The more the other party does this, the more he will want to ascend the throne and become the emperor. Besides, now that the fire in Lu Zhongtian's heart has been ignited, it can't be extinguished. Therefore, after summoning Liu Zhenbang, Lu Zhongtian bluntly asked him to immediately prepare for his enthronement ceremony and stand up for himself

Ke ascended the throne as emperor.

Liu Zhenbang immediately complied, and under his operation, civil and military officials took turns to persuade and persuade to advance. The people gathered in waves in the Changjie squares everywhere, and they signed the letter of persuasion of the people, causing the whole city to look forward to Lu Xiang's enthronement. Later, a notice was issued, claiming that someone had done something to enjoy the gods of Xiangguo Temple, and it has now been ascertained that several monks in the temple were committed by foreign enemies. Lu Xiang has prayed for divine pleasure again, and the gods have clearly revealed that Lu Xiang is the true dragon son of heaven Yunyun.

In short, Liu Zhenbang created a lot of momentum and suppressed the negative impact of that farce.

At the same time, the enthronement ceremony was also in full swing. A high platform was built on the square in front of the Chongzheng Palace, and the palace began to be lit up, and the streets and alleys began to be hung with festive red lanterns. All kinds of ceremonial guards of honor have also begun to prepare. According to Lu Zhongtian's instructions, it doesn't have to be too luxurious, just simple and grand.

At the time of the second watch, Lu Zhongtian agreed to the arrangement of ascending the throne the next morning. So the city began to ring gongs to announce this. In the middle of the night, the people had already fallen asleep, but they were awakened by the sound of gongs all over the street. They got up from the bed, and heard the news that Lu Zhongtian was going to ascend the throne tomorrow through the cracks in the door and from the side of the window lattice.

"it, Prime Minister Lu is finally going to ascend the throne."

"Whatever, what does it have to do with us whether we ascend the throne or not? Daddy, go to sleep. Tomorrow you will be driven by them to carry mud bags, what does Prime Minister Lu's accession to the throne have to do with us? It's not like we're going to have a hard time. ”

"yes, it doesn't really have anything to do with us. These people are the emperor today, and the emperor tomorrow, and it has nothing to do with us. We only have three meals to eat. I'm only worried that our children will be dragged into the army by them to defend the city, in case the Luoyan army outside the city knows the news of Lu Zhongtian's accession to the throne, shouldn't they be angry and attack the city? All I have to worry about is my child's safety. He's only fifteen years old, what kind of battle can he fight? ”

"Yes, but what's the solution? Why are you a child again? You're teaching me not to close my eyes in the middle of the night. ”

"I'm sorry for the child, I didn't mean to. Don't worry, it's not my family, isn't it all like this in the city? Some of them have children younger than my dogs. Ay! When did these people call around? Let's live one day at a time. ”

“……”

Gongs clamor on the empty streets, red lights swaying in the wind. On such a night, the people of countless families in the capital were not happy because of such news, they were all frowning and worried, and they couldn't sleep all night.

The day is finally dawn, and today is a sunny day. The sky is blue, the sky is cloudless, the capital city in mid-spring is full of flowers, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and trees. Today is destined to be a good day.

Early in the morning, many people gathered in front of the Ouchi Chongzheng Hall. On the heavily guarded square of a large number of palace front guards, civil and military officials and their families in the city rushed here to participate in Lu Zhongtian's enthronement ceremony before dawn. Many people had the opportunity to enter Ouchi for the first time, and they were very excited and looking forward to participating in such an important ceremony. But most of them have dull expressions, empty eyes, and their hearts are empty and heavy. Of course, they are not worried about the Guo family's blatant usurpation by Lu Zhongtian today, they are worried about their own fate. The army outside the city is eyeing each other, and these people are forced to be tied to Lu Zhongtian, and now Lu Zhongtian is about to ascend the throne, spear

The shield can no longer be reconciled. Once Lu Zhongtian is defeated, none of his people will survive. Although the city of Bianliang City is strong, the soldiers and horses in the city have rapidly expanded to nearly 200,000 during this time, and it seems that there is no need to worry, but the officials who know the inside situation understand that these are just illusions. The expanded soldiers and horses are all forcibly recruited into the army, and the old and young are uneven, but they are just full of courage. There are less than 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses who can really fight. The only thing that can be relied on is the city defense system of Bianliang, which is so strong and tall that even the Jurchens cannot break through. Recently, tens of thousands of people have been reinforcing and building fortifications on the city walls every day. That's actually the last barrier you can rely on.

The rising sun illuminates the red walls and blue tiles of the palace as if in the painting. Everyone has been waiting for half an hour, and their backs are already a little sore, and the soles of their feet are a little painful. Finally, from the direction of the palace gate on the other side of the palace sheltered by the tall hall of the Daqing Palace, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came.

Then, the guards of the Imperial Army in front of the hall who were standing at the entrance of the Ouchi Imperial Road leading to the Chongzheng Hall shouted in unison.

"Lu Xiang has arrived!"

Everyone immediately turned to the entrance, dressed and bowed to greet them. But I saw that the magnificent carriage was pulled by four high-headed horses, surrounded by hundreds of guards of the forbidden army in fresh clothes and angry horses, and stopped in the middle of the square.

Liu Zhenbang bent down and galloped away, his brand-new official robe blowing in the wind, like a duck running with open wings.

"Minister Liu Zhenbang, I respectfully ask the emperor to move to the main hall and perform the ceremony of coronation and enthronement." Liu Zhenbang knelt down beside the car and shouted loudly.

"The ministers respectfully ask the emperor to perform the coronation ceremony." Everyone fell to their knees and shouted in unison.

"Hee-hee, Daddy...... Oh no...... Father, please get out of the car. Lu Tianci, who got off the horse and stood next to the car, whispered with a hippie smile.

Two small chamberlains stepped forward, one opened the car door, and the other lifted the curtain. Lu Zhongtian's head slowly revealed, and the colorful gems falling from the luxurious crown shone brightly in the sun, beautiful. Then a dark red dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon in gold thread was revealed. When he stood on the ground, he was also a true dragon son with an extraordinary bearing and no anger. People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, I am afraid that anyone who wears this dragon robe crown will also have a trace of imperial bearing.

"Ministers...... Respectfully...... Emperor...... Move ...... Basilica...... Ascending the throne ...... Coronation...... Gift! Liu Zhenbang shouted loudly at the top of his throat, I don't know whether it was because of excitement or nervousness, his shouting was like the cry of a dying person, and the sound of wheezing was like a snoring cat.

The wrinkles on Lu Zhongtian's face bloomed into flowers one by one, and his eyes were radiant and joyful.

"Rise, yeast, and go into the temple." Lu Zhongtian said in a deep voice, raised his eyes to look at the steps of the tall Chongzheng Palace, stepped on the red carpet, and slowly walked up the steps.

Liu Zhenbang and other officials got up one after another, followed by Lu Zhongtian, stepped on the long stairs, and walked step by step to the door of the open Chongzheng Hall to which the red carpet led. The horns on both sides sounded, the music of silk and bamboo sounded, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm and grand.

"Boom!" A loud and discordant sound came from the direction of Nancheng, like a thunderclap in the sky. Even though they were far away, they still made the ear drums buzz.

Lu Zhongtian stopped in surprise, turned to look in the direction of Nancheng, and frowned: "What is that?" ”
