Chapter 42 Supporting the New King
Hundreds of soldiers in iron armor and with swords in their hands quickly rushed into the main hall under the leadership of two fierce captains like 'bull heads and horses'.
The palace was supposed to be the most noble and peaceful place in the world, at least on the surface, who had ever seen such a big scene of soldiers going to the palace, just when everyone was terrified, a cold figure stepped in, the steps were sonorous and powerful, and it was full of a strange sense of rhythm, which made people feel as if their hearts were beating with the rhythm of their steps.
The twisted serpentine ornament on the terrifying iron mask is mysterious and intimidating, and the sword hanging from his waist is unsheathed, but there is a soft roar, as if he can't wait to drink blood, especially the noble blood!
Because of the mask, everyone can't see the true face of the person who came, but from the sturdy figure and vigorous steps, it can be concluded that this person should not be very old, a pair of eyes like a black hole devouring everything released bursts of murderous aura, making people shudder, this should not be the existence of the world, the demon god Chiyou seems to be resurrected at this moment!
Xiao Yi stood behind Cao Cao without saying a word, now he is a sword, his role is to be responsible for deterring the ministers, and as a sword, he can't speak; No one who holds a sword wants the sword in his hand to have his own independent consciousness, 'to control the sword with a man, not to control a man with a sword', and the sword with an independent consciousness is no longer a sword, but a fierce soldier!
In the same way, army generals who have a sense of independence and a strong interest in politics are no longer mere soldiers, but warlords!
When the soldiers went to the hall, all the tongue debaters who were talking about it just now obediently closed their mouths, and history told them countless times that the tongue is not as hard as the fist after all!
At this time, the reactions of everyone in the hall were also different, Empress He was overjoyed, feeling that she was one step closer to the throne, and the supporters of Empress Dowager Dong trembled in fear, for fear that they would be white-edged in the next moment, but they were all Situ Wang Yun, who had always held a neutral attitude, was slightly surprised when he saw Da Niu and Ma Liu, and then looked at Xiao Yi's eyes full of playfulness.
He is a chic offspring who plays and drinks in the Tianji Building and flirts with beautiful women!
He is a wise young man who is impassioned in front of the Spirit Emperor and offers three strategies to destroy the murderer!
Now, he has become a fierce general who commands troops into the palace and intimidates his ministers!
A person, three very different faces, which one is the real him? All three? Or, neither, neither!
"You don't need to be afraid, today's soldiers go to the palace to protect the safety of the court, and it has nothing to do with others, as the so-called 'country cannot be without a king for a day', please support a new monarch to succeed to the throne!" Cao Cao bowed with his head high, although the etiquette was meticulous, but there was a hidden blade between his words, no matter what, he must set the position today.
There was silence in the hall, no one is a fool, and they still protect the safety of the court, and if they lied to the ghosts, they were all old fritters who had been crawling in the court for many years, who didn't know who! Now whoever opposes the prince's argument for the throne will probably be dragged out and beheaded for the crime of endangering the court in the next moment!
"Please support the new king!" Everything is difficult at the beginning, but everyone will follow the trend, and a group of generals from the Great General's Mansion such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu immediately flocked to exert pressure together.
Under the deterrence of powerful force, the situation that was still entangled just now immediately took a sharp turn for the worse, and the officials who originally supported the emperor's eldest son Liu Wei and his party shouted even louder, and those officials who chose neutrality also expressed their stance at this time, and the eldest son of the non-emperor could not inherit the unification, and even some officials who originally supported the emperor's second son Liu Xie also betrayed their camp at this time and turned to support Liu Wei.
The icing on the cake, seeing the wind and making the rudder is the forte of these officials!
Seeing that the big event had gone, under the coercion of the military generals, the Empress Dowager Dong had to lower her noble head, but she was still a little unwilling to say: "The new monarch ascends the throne, can't be a child's play, you have to find an auspicious day for the zodiac to hold the enthronement ceremony, right?" ”
"Weichen is quite familiar with the calendar, today is the best auspicious day of the zodiac this month, which is suitable for the new monarch to ascend the throne!" Taking advantage of the good situation, Cao Cao decided to finish his work in one battle, plus a fire.
Yangde Hall was originally a place where Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty usually dealt with government affairs and rested and slept, and on one side of the main hall there were clothes that were usually changed by Emperor Ling, but seeing Cao Cao strode forward, he grabbed a black and gold dragon robe from a brass tray, and the silk weaving made the dragon robe of the Han Emperor was originally as light as nothing, but at this time it was as heavy as Mount Tai in his hand, and in an instant, countless eyes in the hall were focused on Cao Cao's body, more precisely, in Cao Cao's hands.
The same dragon robe, everyone looks at it with completely different looks, some people's eyes are full of fear, this is the loyal minister of the Han family, some people's eyes are full of teasing, this is a traitorous minister who thinks that the imperial power can also be used for trading, and even some people look at the past eyes full of a kind of blazing flame called 'possession', this is an ambitious person who wants to replace it, and there is more than one such gaze!
After walking a few steps, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, Cao Cao handed the dragon robe in his hand to the hands of the general He Jin, and then said in a low voice: "There is no advance or retreat, support the new monarch, and succeed to the throne in front of the spirit, otherwise we will all die and have no place to be buried!" ”
For a straw bag general like He Jin, in addition to the temptation, there must also be a threat, and these two are the biggest driving force to drive people forward.
Holding the black and gold dragon robe in his hand, He Jin's legs immediately trembled into a ball, although he was born in a butcher family, he pretended to be empty-eyed on weekdays, but the kind of humility in his bones cannot be eliminated, this is not killing pigs, how easy it is to kill pigs, tie up the four hooves, go up and finish the job with a knife, this is to support the emperor, and what he is holding in his hand at this time is a dragon robe that represents the supreme authority......
Although timid, in the expectant eyes of a group of subordinates, He Jin gritted his teeth and walked up, among the ministers in this full hall, he is the only one who is suitable for doing this, Yu Gong, he is the general canonized by the imperial court, the head of the ministers, Yu Private, he is the eldest brother of the queen's mother, the uncle of the future little emperor, he is not up, who else is qualified to go?
Pulling up his nephew, the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Wei, the twelve-year-old boy's face was full of panic at this time, everything that happened in the palace today was completely beyond his bearing, "The father and the emperor died, the elder sister and everyone drew their swords against each other, and the mother and grandmother fought inseparably...... "For a while, his immature worldview collapsed!
put the puppet-like Liu Wei on the main seat, and then in the limelight, the general He Jin suddenly shook the dragon robe in his hand, and draped it on his nephew's body, and the fat black gold dragon robe was draped on Liu Wei's body that had not yet grown, just like a poor little monkey put on adult clothes, unspeakably funny, but this is not important, the important thing is that the dragon robe finally has a master again, and the Han world also has a new monarch!
"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! He Jin took the lead in kneeling, bowed to the monarch and ministers, and supported the new monarch to ascend the throne, and then Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other military generals knelt down and saluted together, and the mountain shouted long live; Then a group of ministers led by Situ Wang Yun stepped forward to pay homage to the new monarch, in fact, for them, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as the world of the Han Dynasty is still surnamed Liu, and the society does not have turmoil, it is enough to ......, and finally those hard-line opponents have to choose to give in in in the face of the general trend, and they have fallen to the ground.
After a night of changes, countless clashes of wit, now finally have a result, just at this time the rooster dawns, the rising sun rises in the east, when the purple gas in the sky accompanied by a round of red sun appeared in the east, the sound of the mountain calling long live in the Yangde Hall came out from all directions, and the Xuanjia soldiers who had also anxiously waited all night in the palace, as well as countless palace ladies and eunuchs, knelt down in the direction of the main hall, and the sound of the mountain called long live shook the roof tiles.
The wood has become a boat, even if the Empress Dowager Dong has one hundred and twenty unhappy in her heart, she has to admit this fact at this time, no matter what, the one sitting on the dragon chair is her grandson after all, the species of the old Liu family; And his other grandson, Liu Xie, was already under the guidance of the minister at this time, and he had ...... courtier etiquette to his brother sitting on the throne, and had a long talk, with infinite distress and unwillingness, the old queen mother walked to the harem.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier! In the same way, once the son of heaven, a generation of queen mothers! Her time has passed......
At the same time, after watching her son accept the worship of the ministers, Queen He also withdrew from the hall and returned to her residence, the throne has been decided, and the rest can be handed over to these ministers, and the harem is the next battlefield to compete for!
Empress He, no, now she is already Empress Dowager He!

It is said that there are unforeseen storms in the sky, just when the ministers knelt down and bowed to the new monarch three times and nine times on the main hall, the originally clear sky suddenly changed, and I saw a dark cloud swept from the northwest with a storm, quickly covering the sky over Luoyang, and then hail the size of a bean grain mixed with raindrops poured down......
A gust of wind with rain rushed straight into the Yangde Palace, blowing the ministers who were kneeling and saluting on the main hall to the east and west, and the plain curtains, white curtains, cigarettes and other things were blown into a mess, and the new emperor Liu Wei, who was originally sitting on the throne, was blown directly from the dragon chair because the dragon robe was too wide and for a ride, and the dragon robe that was finally put on also slipped to the ground......
In the chaotic exclamations of the ministers, Xiao Yi looked to the northwest, as if he remembered something ......, and finally said thoughtfully: "Heaven's will is so!" ”
