On 16 May, Zhang Huan arrived in Xinfeng County, east of Chang'an, under the escort of 20,000 iron horsemen, and the army camped in a clearing next to the official road, which was very close to Lishan Mountain, and the scenery was beautiful. ^UC eBook^ to see the latest^

At this time, it was the morning, and at a glance, the green trees at the foot of Li Mountain were lush and lush, and the mountain body was like a giant horse lying across the Guanzhong Plain, "Here it is!" Several roe deer and hares were driven out of the woods by the soldiers, and Zhang Huan galloped his horse, and in an instant he was in the oblique direction of his prey, and he drew his bow like a full moon, and aimed the tip of his arrow at a roe deer.

"Father-in-law, let me come!"

Zhang Huan's bowstring was loose, he put down the bow and looked back, only to see his newly acquired son Shi Yang riding on a small horse, holding a short bow, his eyes were sharply staring at a recent roe deer, but he did not panic to release the arrow, waiting for the best opportunity, when the roe deer passed by him, Shi Yang opened the bow is an arrow, and the shot was extremely decisive, but it was a pity that the roe deer happened to turn sideways and dodged one of his arrows.

Shi Yang is the boy that Zhang Huan took in in Chenliu, his sister is called Shi Bailing, the brother and sister and Zhang Huan traveled all the way west, and when they learned that Shi Yang's grandfather had also died in Luoyang, the two were lonely, and Zhang Huan accepted the two as sons and daughters.

Shi Yang is nine years old this year, although he was born in Xiangmendi, but he likes to ride and shoot, along the way to Zhang Huan's personal soldiers to teach horseback riding and archery skills, progress is rapid, the day before yesterday in Huayin County actually Pegasus shot a pheasant.

Although Shi Yang failed to hit the roe deer with an arrow, Zhang Huan liked his calm and decisive character, which was very similar to himself, and he saw that Shi Yang was very unwilling to catch up, so he stopped him with a smile.

"Yang'er, although you waited for the fighter just now, you couldn't grasp it, let your father shoot an arrow to show you."

Although Shi Yang recognized Zhang Huan as his father-in-law, he had never seen him shoot arrows, and only heard Zhang Huan's soldiers say that his father-in-law's archery skills were strong, and now he had a chance. How could he let it go, he immediately stopped the horse. Stretch your neck to see your father's archery.

Zhang Huan smiled slightly, pulled the bowstring apart again, his eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, and the tip of the arrow found the roe deer just now, it had already run to the side of the stream seventy steps away, Zhang Huan suddenly released the bowstring, and a wolf's tooth arrow shot at the roe deer like a meteor catching the moon.

"Oops. Shoot crooked!" Shi Yang saw that his father-in-law's arrow was slightly behind, and he blurted out nervously.

Just as he said it was terrible. And the roe deer saw a brook in front of him. Turn around and run back. Zhang Huandi's arrow happened to pierce its neck. The roe deer immediately fell to the ground.

This arrow provoked a round of cheers from the soldiers. Zhang Huan looked at Shi Yang, who was opening his mouth and couldn't close it, and smiled: "You understand! For this arrow, I checked the direction of the wind and calculated the location. That's how the fighter was seized. You're young. But just think about it. In the future, he will definitely surpass his father-in-law. Starting tomorrow. You're going to get up before dawn and go diving for me. ”

Although Shi Yang didn't understand why he was called to dive. But he has already admired his father-in-law. Immediately nodded. "The child will not let his father-in-law down."

Then. A war horse galloped in the distance. Immediately the soldiers shouted loudly. "Governor. The big camp is coming. Please hurry back. ”

"Who is it?" Zhang Huan asked after he ran closer.

"It's from the imperial court. There were thirteen people in total. Headed by Shang Han of the Criminal Department. There are other important places to supervise. The subordinates can't remember their names. ”

Zhang Huan groaned immediately, and immediately said to everyone: "Pack up your things and go back to the camp immediately with me." ”

Everyone turned their horses' heads and followed Zhang Huan towards the camp at a gallop. Stirred up the rolling yellow dust all the way.

Less than a quarter of an hour. Zhang Huan and his entourage rushed to the barracks and looked at it from afar. The barracks are still neat and majestic, and the soldiers are on duty seriously on the sentry, but Zhang Huan always feels that there seems to be something wrong there, but he can't say it for a while, and when he enters the gate, Zhang Huan finds that something is wrong, only to see 20,000 soldiers neatly lined up in the open space of the military camp, as if preparing before departure, he can't help but be stunned, just about to get off the horse, but he saw Han leading more than a dozen important ministers to walk up quickly, the Ministry of Industry Shang Li Han, Shaofu Temple Qing Guo Quan, Salt and Iron Supervisor Yang Yan, Taichang Qing Du Ya, Jingzhao Yin Li Gan, Yu Shi Zhong Cheng Yan Jiudu, Dali Temple Qing Xin Gao and so on, They all had serious expressions, walked up to Zhang Huan and stopped together, Han took the lead in kneeling, and his high voice echoed in the wind, "Ministers Han greets His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Minister Li Han, Minister Guo Quan, and Minister Yang Yan knock to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, long live our emperor! Hooray! ”

"Hooray!" The barracks resounded with the shouts of the heavens and the earth cracking, and the 20,000 soldiers knelt down together, and the voice resounded through the sky, "Long live the governor!" ”

Zhang Huan slowly woke up from the shock, his lips moved slightly, looking at the 20,000 soldiers one by one, what he saw was an extremely excited face, a pair of loyal eyes flashing with tears, eight years ago when he first arrived in Tianbao County, Wuwei County, the situation is still vivid, in the blizzard bravely forward, through the sky, the vast Hexi, through a round of lonely moon shining on the river of Kyushu, into the vast Anxi, step by step to today, this day, he waited for a long, long time, but when it suddenly came, But it was so unreal, in the solemn expectation, in the sound of the hunting wind fluttering in the flag, Zhang Huan gently raised his hand and said in his small but irresistible voice: "Everyone is exempt!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han stood up and solemnly handed over a volume of the country to Zhang Huan, "This is the edict of the Queen Mother's pro-enthronement, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, please return to Beijing immediately with Your Majesty's ministers." ^UC eBook ^ Go to see the latest ^"

Zhang Huan didn't answer, he looked at Han and said, "You come with me to the tent." ”

As soon as he entered the big tent, Zhang Huan slowly sat down, and he asked a little absent-mindedly, "Has the situation in Chang'an been stabilized?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been stabilized, the courtiers have been on the court normally, Pei Shang convened a meeting of the ministers, and proposed the new monarch in the form of voting, the ministers unanimously proposed that His Majesty ascend the throne, and the Queen Mother also personally came to the court to urge the ministers to welcome back Your Majesty as soon as possible, not only the ministers of the court, but also many Tang Dynasty elders also expressed their support for His Majesty's accession to the throne."

Han once again handed the country to Zhang Huan, "Please Your Majesty return to Beijing with your ministers as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Huan still didn't answer, he hesitated and said: "I'm thinking, should I make a gesture and accept it after three rejections?" ”

Han couldn't help but smile and said: "His Majesty has already rejected it in Yuanmen, and now it is a second refusal to the minister, so the minister once again asked His Majesty to return to Beijing immediately, is it considered a third refusal?" ”

Zhang Huan also smiled, how he cut and killed in the Quartet. How could it be that in this matter, the mother-in-law and mother were a little at a loss because of the sudden enthronement incident, and Zhang Huan suddenly seemed to change as a person. He did not hesitate to take the enthronement edict written by Cui Xiaofu, and smiled confidently: "Okay! I'll go with you into Beijing. ”

On May 17 of the second year of Yong'an, Zhang Huan returned to Chang'an City, Pei You and Cui Yu led hundreds of officials to greet outside the city, and after holding a formal worship ceremony, Zhang Huan entered Chang'an City under the escort of five thousand ironclad cavalry, and Chang'an City was already unprecedented. Wanmin empty alley, nearly a million Chang'an people spontaneously flocked to Zhuque Street to meet their new emperor, what a spectacular scene, from the sky, dense people are emotional, waving their arms, as if they can't see the boundless sea, and Zhang Huan's 5,000-person escort is like a small wave in the sea, he every step, long live the shouts are like a landslide and tsunami, countless accompanying officials change color. Only the cavalry guarding Zhang Huan stood still, and they drove in a line around Long Yuan, their faces serious and their eyes sharp. A manager who protects himself with the utmost vigilance.

Zhang Huan silently looked at the faces full of excitement and joy, he was deeply moved, these millions of eyes, these millions of waving arms, carrying too many expectations, looking forward to a strong and prosperous Tang Dynasty, yearning for a happy life, longing for fairness and justice, he felt an unprecedented pressure. As if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders, the Tang Emperor, this is not just a symbol of power, it is also a sign of responsibility, shouldering the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the re-emergence of a nation, at this moment, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears, and Zhang Huan muttered to himself in tears: "I will work hard to do it." Trust me!"

The bell on the bell tower of Hanyuan Hall rang. The low and deep sound of the bell echoed over the Daming Palace, and the main hall of the magnificent Daming Palace was filled with nearly 10,000 officials at all levels in Beijing. Whether it is a small official who has not yet entered the stream or a prince who is in the first rank, whether it is a young scholar who has just been admitted to the Jinshi or an old minister with white hair, everyone stands tall and solemn in the same way.

The heavy gate of Danfeng Gate slowly opened, a palace prison official rushed to the door and shouted loudly, the stirring horn sound rose in the wind, and a group of majestic cavalry began to slowly march into the gate, they lined up three teams on the left and right of Danfeng Gate Square, and then three thousand armored soldiers surrounded the dragon chariot of the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty and drove into Danfeng Gate.

"Long live our emperor! Banzai! Hooray! 10,000 officials bowed down, and their voices resounded through the square.

Long Yuan stopped, Zhang Huan walked out, he had changed into the emperor's crown at this time, wearing a crown of nine crowns, wearing a black robe, pedaling black leather shoes, his eyes were calm, three long whiskers fluttered on his chest, he stood on the high wheel, and his bearing was the king

He waved his hand lightly, "All the ministers are exempt." ”

"Your Majesty has a will, and the ministers are finished!" The palace supervisor shouted loudly.

Immediately, the officials shouted loudly: "Officials above the fifth grade enter the hall!" ”

The official team started, and soon two long lines were formed, along the Longwei Road to the Hanyuan Palace, and entered the main hall from the left and right Tongqian Gate and the Observation Gate respectively.

At this time, three thousand armored soldiers surrounded Zhang Huan along the Longwei Road, and when they reached the top of the hall, they handed over the lord to a hundred palace guards, and the three thousand armored soldiers lined up on both sides of the Longwei Road, staring coldly ahead.

The Hanyuan Hall was silent, only the footsteps of the palace guards and Zhang Huan were heard, Zhang Huanqi walked towards the dragon throne proudly, and the ministers watched him silently, many people still remember the scene when the young scholar entered the Hanyuan Hall for the first time eight years ago.

It's the same place, it's the same person, but they're two very different things.

Zhang Potian in the team looked at this former concubine of the Zhang family with complicated eyes, he remembered a big gamble made by the head of the family before he died, and bet all the hopes of the Zhang family on Zhang Huan, at that time, all people, including him Zhang Potian, scoffed at the absurd decision of the head of the family, but today

Zhang Potian suddenly had a strong remorse, if the head of the family had not died, what would the Zhang family be like today?

Similarly, the eldest grandson Nanfang standing in the team is also uneasy, in his opinion, Zhang Huan is a one-in-a-million Pegasus, or a top master of polo. With him, the other polo team will be invincible. Rampant Datang, no! rampant in the world, he is also full of remorse, originally his daughter eldest grandson Yiyi could become the queen of the Tang Dynasty, as long as he didn't care about the damn Wang Qilang at that time, he had been recruiting sons-in-law all his life, but in a flash, he missed out on the richest son-in-law in the world.

Eldest Sun Nanfang sighed. Slowly lowered his head.

Zhang Huan was still moving forward steadily, and the Hanyuan Hall was extremely far-reaching, and finally he walked up the jade steps step by step, and under the guidance of the two eunuchs, he sat on the highest throne that was unique in the world.

Pei You, who was standing at the front, nodded slightly to the master of ceremonies in the hall, and the master of ceremonies immediately announced loudly: "All the officials are here!" ”

Nearly 1,000 high-ranking officials above the fifth rank came out to salute together, and said in unison: "Ministers, see His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Zhang Huan suddenly discovered a secret, that is, the structure of the Hanyuan Hall is extremely clever, it is huge enough to accommodate 10,000 people in the hall, and the sound does not need to be too loud but can be heard from afar. Especially the position of his dragon seat, the echo effect is better, and his casual words can also be amplified into a majestic tone and transmitted.

He contemplated the wonder of the sounds in the temple. But he was distracted for a while, and all the officials returned to their positions, at this time Pei You stepped forward and said: "The new emperor is on the throne, and all opportunities are waiting to be taken care of, but to welcome the new and send the old, you must first determine the number of the first emperor's temple." The Queen Mother has set the name of the first emperor's temple as Qianzong, please make a decision on your majesty! ”

Zhang Huan had come back to his senses, and he nodded slightly, "Quasi-play!" ”

At this time, Cui Yu also stepped forward and said: "The era is newly opened, and Your Majesty's era name also needs to be determined first, please Your Majesty first determine the era name, so that the historian can be era." ”

Zhang Huan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Zhongyan: It is the old saint who stands in the south. And the world is governed. I came from a humble background and knew the hardships of the people. Knowing that the country is weak and weak, although I dare not compare with the saints, but after the chaos will be great, I am willing to take the great governance as the meaning of hard work, so the name of the year is the great governance, and the ministers are encouraged! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Huan couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, he stood up and said: "Taizong has a saying, taking copper as a reference, you can be dressed properly; Take people as a reference, you can know the gains and losses; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, Huan is not talented, and I am willing to follow Taizong's advice as a stream, I declare that I will live my life, I Datang will not be convicted by words, not punished by admonishment, and I hope that all Aiqing and I will work hard together to reproduce the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. ”

There was an uproar in the hall, the ministers couldn't believe their ears, not to be convicted of words, not to be punished, this is something that has never happened in the Tang Dynasty for more than a hundred years, even Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, who has never given himself such a constraint, this can be said to be the ideal dreamed of by the ministers, and how many people who dare to tell the truth for thousands of years can die well?

Dazhi and Nazhi, the ministers suddenly felt the urgency of this young emperor's desire for the Tang Dynasty to be strong, and almost everyone was moved.

Han, Pei You, Cui Yu, Yang Yan, Li Han and other important ministers stood up one after another, and they excitedly saluted: "The ministers have done their best for Your Majesty, and they have died!" ”

The subsequent dynasty was carried out for five hours, long but not dull, this court will involve the future direction of power, by everyone's attention, in addition to determining the first emperor temple number and the new emperor year number, but also carried out a series of major system changes, the first is to abolish the cabinet formed by the family government, re-restore the political hall, to the middle door under the Ping Zhang Shi as the phase, temporarily follow the Tianbao system system, set up one person on the left and right, as the prime minister, with six departments as the secondary minister, as the prime minister.

At the same time, a series of major personnel appointments and dismissals were carried out, and Pei You became the first right minister without any suspense, the head of a hundred officials, and assisted the king in leading the world's major policies; Cui Yu served as the first left minister, in charge of the emperor's order, the minister's etiquette, all the affairs of the country, and the general counsel of the central order; In the six departments, the Ministry of Officials is still concurrently served by Cui Yu, the Ministry of Household is still Han, the Ministry of Rites is still Lu Qi, the Ministry of War is still Yuan Zai, the Criminal Department is still taken over by Zhang Potian, and the Ministry of Industry is still Li Han.

However, the appointment of the most important officials was unexpected by everyone, but it was reasonable, served by Shi Huyong, the governor of Longyou Jiedu, and Li Qiao, the king of Hue, served as Zongzheng Siqing, Du Mei, the judge of Longyou Jiedu Mansion, served as the imperial historian and supervised the office order, and Sima Pei Mingyuan of Longyou Jiedu Mansion served as the palace supervisor, etc., so that most of the officials of the Longyou group were reused.

When night gradually fell, and the curtain came down on the whole day's court meeting, the officials all went back to their homes tired and began another extra-hospital activity.

Zhang Huan also came to the inner palace of Daming Palace for the first time, from today onwards, this will be his home, and his wife and children are still in the old mansion of Yongle Fang, tonight, he will spend the night alone.

Several palace maids carried lanterns in front of him to guide him, hundreds of guards were deployed around him, Zhang Huan walked slowly with his hands behind his back, the excitement of ascending the throne had passed, his thoughts began to calm down, indeed, in front of his eyes, there was no way for him to start, he was not satisfied with today's personnel arrangements, especially the left and right ministers, according to his considerations, it should not exist, five people are the prime ministers, take turns to flow into the political affairs hall to govern the pen, and replace one person with a collective Xiangguo, this has always been what he has considered, but now it can't be done, He must maintain the stability of the government, and Cui and Pei Weixiang are also the conditions he promised to take their time! Zhang Huan sighed secretly, then turned back to Zhu Guanghui, the new head of the chamberlain, and said, "When can my family move into the palace?" ”

Zhu Guanghui is the eunuch who saved Li Chuanyun, and has always been Zhang Huan's eyeliner in the palace, before he was repeatedly excluded, only to be the head of the small eunuch who was responsible for the flowers and plants in the palace, and now that Zhang Huan is on the throne, he immediately promoted to the head of the chamberlain, responsible for arranging the life of Zhang Huan and his family, for which he is grateful to Dade and does his best to arrange all the trivial things in the palace.

Hearing Zhang Huan ask him, he immediately replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, a few ladies could have entered the palace yesterday, but Madame said that someone in the family was injured and could not move for the time being, and it might be a few days late." ”

"Hurt?" Zhang Huan was stunned, he had been on the road, and he didn't get the news of the assassination in Fuzhong, Zhang Huan stopped and hurriedly asked, "Who was injured and why was injured?" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know?" Zhu Guanghui was also surprised, this matter had spread all over Chang'an City, but the master didn't know about it.

Zhang Huan had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, he stared at Zhu Guanghui and said, "Say it quickly!" What's going on? ”

"The old slave also heard about it, but I don't know the specific situation." Zhu Guanghui was a little timid in his heart, and he swallowed: "I heard that seven days ago, there were assassins in His Majesty's old mansion, and the little prince was almost killed, and finally Cui Niangniang's two personal maids died, Cui Niangniang was frightened, and there was a Ping girl who was not lightly injured. ”

"Assassin, Pingping!" Zhang Huan was shocked, there was an assassin in his house, who was it? Who did it!

He pondered for a moment, and then immediately said to Zhu Guanghui: "It's still early before the palace gate is closed, you send someone out of the palace and hurry up to invite Li Chuanyun to me." ”
