In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the first year of Jingzhi, on February 14, the Jijing Imperial Palace, the main hall of the Zhonghe Palace

Zhonghe Palace, located between the Taihe Hall and the Baohe Palace, is one of the three major halls of the Jijing Imperial Palace. The Mean", take [the middle also, the foundation of the world; And also, the way of the world also] means.

Moreover, the Zhonghe Hall is also the difāng of the Great Zhou Emperor to rest and prepare before the ceremony, this hall is not open on weekdays, and it is strictly forbidden for idle people to enter, but today, this hall is not only open, but also comes and goes eunuchs, palace maids, it seems that everyone is busy in the "" novel chapter update the fastest.

In the center of the main hall, Li Shou, who was already the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was only wearing a light brocade robe, spreading his hands flat, and looking at the golden plaque on the top of the palace with slightly dull eyes.

Beside him, several palace maids held a measuring rope and a ruler in their hands, carefully measuring Li Shou's body, and then they wanted to send the measured data to the imperial clothing workshop in the palace to sew a new dragon robe for Li Shou, the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In fact, the style of the dragon robe should be sewn into two sets, one is the dragon robe worn by the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty in his daily life and early dynasties, which is woven with gold thread, supplemented by silver wire, and embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon holding a jewel in one claw, churning in the clouds, and under the clouds, it is a symbol of the world's Middle Earth Continent and thirteen tripods of different sizes, which means [under the whole world, Mo Fei Huang Land], which is the tradition of the emperors of all dynasties, not beginning in the Great Zhou;

The other set is the natural color dragon robe of the Emperor of the Great Zhou, with black as the base and water color as the supplement, embroidered with a five-clawed black dragon out of the water, opening teeth and dancing claws, roaring at the sky, bijing The Great Zhou occupies the water virtue.

This set of black dragon imperial robes, generally speaking, the emperor only wears it when the Great Zhou holds a grand ceremony.

Originally, he rushed to make a dragon robe for the new emperor. It should have been done more than ten days ago before and after the important minister of the court, Yin Gong, read out the edict of Li Ji, the son of the former emperor, but the problem was that it was just in time for the death of the former son of heaven Li Ji, and it was during the national funeral, and there were too many things to be busy inside and outside the palace, so it was delayed.

And for now. After completing the funeral of the Son of Heaven, Li Shou is about to hold a ceremony to seal Zen and officially succeed to the throne, so the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have no time to rest and continue to be busy.

Two days later, that is, February 16, it is the day when Li Shou held a ceremony to seal Zen in the southern suburbs of Beijing, worship heaven and earth, and officially ascend the throne as emperor, I have to say. Shijiān was too urgent, two days ago, the imperial court ended the state funeral ceremony, and sent the remains of Li Ji, the former son of heaven and Emperor Chongwuren of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to the border of Jizhou, and the people sent by the imperial tomb took over and buried the emperor in the imperial tomb. and Li Wei, the former crown prince who pursued the mourning king.

Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty......

I, Li Shou, actually became the emperor of the Great Zhou?

Although Li Shou has not personally been in charge of the early dynasty, the affairs of the court and China have also been decided by the important ministers of the court and China, such as the Duke of Liangqiu, the Duke of Yin, and the Duke of Lü, who rushed back to Jijing in early February. But this did not hinder Li Shou's excitement about coming to the early dynasty in the future.

However, before that, he still had something to face that made him quite nervous, that is, the ceremony of sealing Zen in the southern suburbs of Beijing two days later, because according to the introduction of Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he Li Shou needed to take the imperial chariot that day, starting from Zhengyang Gate. Through Zhengyang Street, Chaoyang Street, Yong'an Street, and finally from Yong'an Gate out of the city, to the southern suburbs of Jijing Feng Chan succession, literally understood is not shime, but the problem is. He had to read the sacrificial text to the sky in front of hundreds of thousands of onlookers that day, which was not allowed to make the slightest omission, otherwise, not only would the Li family of the Great Zhou lose face, but even he, the new emperor of the Great Zhou, would be laughed at by all the people.

With the black crowd under him in his mind at that time, Li Shou's head was a little swollen.

And at this moment, he suddenly heard a joke.

"Yo, busy, Your Majesty?"

Seeing that the person who came was qualified to enter the hall without being informed, and there was no respect between the words, and even a little ridicule and schadenfreude, Li Shou's head jumped, and he turned his head, and happened to see Xie An leaning against the door of the main hall, looking at him with a smile, without the slightest hint of the demeanor that an important minister in the court should have.

Since Li Shou took over the throne of the emperor, Xie An'an has risen to the top, and he is in the limelight in Jijing for a while, on the surface, he is still the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he is also in charge of the Great Prison Temple, but in private, he is not only the chief of the six doors of the Nanzhen Fusi, but also took over the Jinyiwei of the Beizhen Fusi of Li Cheng, the fifth son of the emperor, so that the two Zhenfu Divisions are combined into one, and they have become a vital spy organization under the name of the Great Prison Temple, monitoring the intelligence of Jijing and even the entire Great Zhou for Li Shou.

It is worth mentioning that these two Zhenfu Divisions have been stationed in the two major assassin pavilions under Xie An's command, the Si Du Wei of the Six Doors of the Fu Division in Nanzhen was served by the former Dongling Zhong [sickle] Mo Fei, and the Si Du Wei of the Fu Si Jinyi Wei in Beizhen was taken over by Ding Qiu, the former second-in-command of the Jinling People, under the efforts of Jin Ling'er.

I have to say that for the sake of the future of the brothers in the Jinling Dangerous Building Assassin's Lodge, Jin Ling'er did not miss the pillow wind blowing in the ear of the little man next to her pillow.

In fact, Li Shou's ascension to the throne did bring many changes to the division of power in Jijing, although all this was promulgated after Li Shou officially ascended the throne, but there was already a plan in private.

For example, Xiang Zhengao, the secretary of the military department, was succeeded by Sun Jing, the chief of the squire; Prime Minister Yingong resigned and recommended his student, Ruan Shaozhou, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, to succeed him. Weiwei Temple Qing Xun Zheng was promoted to the head of the Criminal Department, assisted Shangshu Xie An, and was also in charge of Weiwei Temple, and so on.

As for Xie An's original generals, they seemed to be Fei Guo, Su Xin, Li Jing, Ma Dan, Liao Li, Qi Hao, etc., all of them became lieutenants in the Jizhou Army, and even generals in the capital, ranging from the third rank to the fifth rank, and as for the generals of the Jizhou Army who were originally attached to the former prince and mourning king Li Wei, they were all demoted and demoted on charges of forcing the palace to usurp the throne.

Bijing, the Jizhou soldiers are the elite troops stationed in the Beijing Division in addition to the four towns of Jijing, the number of which is as many as 80,000, thinking about it, whether it is Li Shou, Xie An or Changsun Xiangyu, they will not let the control of this army be ignored.

Anyway, Xie An already has Jin Ling'er, a concubine who has been close to protect him for twelve hours, and then let Fei Guo, Su Xin and other rich generals who fought Jingyàn be subservient to the generals of the Xie Mansion, which is really a bit condescending.

Of course, it doesn't mean that everything is going well, for example, the eighth son of the emperor [Xianwang] Li Xian......

This Eight Sages King woke up on the third day after the death of Li Ji, the son of heaven. After learning that his father had passed the throne to Li Shou, there was nothing unusual, but when he heard that Li Shou intended to crown the three brothers of the emperor's third son Li Shen, the sixth son of the emperor Li Xiao, and the seventh son of the emperor Li Yan as kings, he was anxious and angry, and dragged his body that had not yet recovered to the palace to argue with Li Shou.

It's not hard to guess. With Li Xian's intelligence, how could he not guess the calculation in the heart of the third prince Li Shen? The reason why he hurried to the palace to meet him, advocating that the third prince Li Shen and others should be in Jijing, was also for the sake of Da Zhou and Li Shou, but unfortunately, the third prince Li Shen pleaded with Li Shou with this matter before he fell unconscious, and squeezed Li Shou with brotherly affection. had no choice but to agree to Li Shen's request.

is the so-called promise of a thousand gold, since Li Shou promised Li Shen, how can he regret it after a good deed? Because of this, Li Shou and Li Xian brothers were very unhappy.

It is worth mentioning that Li Xian also met Xie An's second wife, Changsun Xiangyu, for this matter, and wanted to ask her to mediate the matter. How could you not anticipate the aftermath of making Li Shen and the other three kings?

It's a pity that the eldest grandson Xiangyu is busy competing with Liang Qiuwu for the position of the wife of the Xie family. I have to say that the former son of heaven Li Ji is worthy of being an emperor for more than 30 years, although the eldest grandson Xiangyu is very qingchu Li Ji named her the reason for the first lady, but also has to obediently obey, bijing, the eldest wife's wèizhi for the eldest grandson Xiangyu. It is also a great temptation, whether it is for Ziji, or for Ziji's children in the future.

And in fact, because of this, Xie An's life has not been easy these days. Every day, he was sandwiched between the two women of Liangqiu Wu and Changsun Xiangyu, but he didn't favor either of them, so he had to pretend that Shime didn't know, but fortunately, the other two confidants, Yiyi and Jin Ling'er did not interfere with them, otherwise, Xie An's life would probably be even worse.

The moment on the corona outside the Taihe Hall gradually changed, like a wooden man yiyàng Li Shou who was pulled by the palace maids, only his arms were sore, and even his forehead oozed a little beads of sweat, although there were two palace maids from the side who used two huge fans to fan him with the wind, but it didn't work at all.

Taking advantage of the time to turn around, he glanced at Xie An's direction, Li Shou was half angry, he was full of big men under the swing of the palace maids, but Xie An was squatting next to a wooden pillar in the hall, holding a plate of preserved fruits in his left hand, grabbing a handful of preserved fruits and putting them in his mouth with his right hand, looking at him with a gloating face, and sometimes showing a smile that made Li Shou angry.

Okay, Rongyi boiled all the palace maids to measure their body measurements, Li Shou strode towards Xie An, and picked up the plate in Xie An's hand, but was dumbfounded to find that the plate was already empty.

"It tastes good, it's just a little less ......" smacking his mouth, Xie An said heartlessly, fǎngfo couldn't see the hot sweat on Li Shou's head at all.

Fortunately, Li Shou had long understood Xie An's temperament, but he would not be angry with him, after instructing the palace maid in the palace to serve two hot teas, Li Shou whispered, "Hey, Xie An, the day after tomorrow is the Zen ceremony......

Holding the teacup and blowing a breath, Xie An said nonchalantly, "And then?" ”

"And then? And shime then?! Hey, stop drinking, figure it out for me! Li Shou said angrily.

Looking up at Li Shou strangely, Xie An said in surprise, "You...... Nervous? ”

"No, how can kěnéng ......" smiled and said halfway, Li Shou's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily, "Nonsense! Of course I'm nervous, what do you think? ”

"Wow, being the emperor, it's really extraordinary, and I talk a lot......" Protecting the tea cup with his hand, lest the spit in Li Shou's mouth splash into the tea, Xie An secretly glanced at Li Shou, and saw that Li Shou's whole face was darkened, and he seemed to be crazy, so he stopped joking, lest the new Great Zhou Emperor in front of him be annoyed and angry, and tear up with him in the Taihe Hall in front of all the palace maids.

"How nervous?" Xie An asked slowly.

"This ......" Li Shou frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "It's not good to say, it's just quite nervous anyway...... Hey, Xie An, do you have the impression that the shime thing makes you the most nervous? ”

"Me?" Xie An tilted his head and thought for a long time, and said affirmatively, "I guess it's Shihou who sleeps with Wu'er in his arms......"

Li Shou was dumbfounded when he heard this, although he was quite nervous about the enthronement ceremony the day after tomorrow, he was also a little curious about the reason why Xie An said this, he asked curiously, "Something happened?" ”

"Hmm, something is wrong......" glanced at Zuoyou. Xie An lowered his voice and said, "Thanks to the first emperor, Xiangyu was given a first-class lady, and the dance has been very grumpy in the past two days, which made me tremble, and I didn't dare to say too much when I fell asleep with her." It's miserable! ”

"Oh......" Li Shou looked at Xie An sympathetically, and suddenly his heart was stunned.

No, that's not what we're talking about!

Thinking of this, Li Shou raised his hand and said, "What about other than that?" ”

I saw Xie An touch his smooth chin, and said thoughtfully, "That's Shihou who sleeps with Xiangyu...... You don't know, this woman is really disturbing these days, to say that she méiyou is calculating shime. I don't believe it, the current situation in my family is that Wu'er has a straight face every day, and Xiangyu does the opposite, greeting each other with a smile, and the birds are still according to people, and the result is that Wu'er has a more irritable temper......"

"......" Li Shou opened his mouth when he heard this. Bite one's tongue.

"Do you want to say that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read?" Xie An sighed. seems to want to win Li Shou's sympathy.

In fact, Li Shou scolded in his heart at the moment.

"Méiyou General Liangqiu, also Méiyou Miss Changsun, okay?" Waving his hand indiscriminately, Li Shou said a little angrily, "And what else does shime make you more nervous?" ”

"I'm even more nervous......" Xie An frowned when he heard this. He pondered for a moment with a solemn face, and then said in a deep voice, "That's Shihou who sleeps with Sister Ling'er in his arms......"

"......" Li Shou's face froze completely, pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, and said weakly. Isn't she going to get involved in the battle between your two ladies for the eldest wife? ”

"Yes, Sister Ling'er is méiyou involved, but the problem is that she is an assassin, and I am not insecure when I sleep with her in my arms," Speaking ......of this, Xie An raised his head and said mysteriously, "A few days ago, I played a game with her, and I really regret playing such a game with her!" She asked me to search for the knives she was hiding on her first, and I searched for them, stripped her naked, and examined them carefully, and found six knives...... You know what? She brought me three more...... Scared the hell out of me! One of them was still clinging to the inside of the base of my right leg, if I accidentally cut it...... That vital part......" Speaking of this, Xie An looked frightened.

"That's what you're most nervous about?" Li Shou asked expressionlessly.

"That's right," Xie An nodded, and then said with a smile, "Do you feel better to hear it?" ”

"Huh? Really, I'm really not nervous to hear what you say...... Do you think there is a kěnéng?! "Li Shou, the new emperor of the Great Zhou, is obviously about to blow up.

Seeing this, Xie An spread his hands and said heartlessly, "Then I can't help it......"

"You guy......" Li Shou glared at Xie An viciously, gritting his teeth, and suddenly, he seemed to see Shime, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Following Li Shou's line of sight, a team of palace maids walked into the hall at this time, and the first one of them saw Xie An, and said happily, "It turns out that Lord Xie is here, Lord Xie, please allow the slave maid and others to measure the ...... for the adult."

Xie An was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "Measure me?" Why? ”

"Lord Xie still doesn't know?" Glancing at Li Shou suspiciously, the palace maid said softly, "Two days later, Your Majesty will be in the southern suburbs of Beijing for the Zen ceremony, can Lord Xie wear this outfit to go......

Of course, Xie An's officials who participated in the Zen ceremony two days later needed to wear black sacrificial robes, but the problem was that he was just watching from the sidelines, so he needed to change into shime clothes?

Perhaps guessing what Xie Anxin was thinking, the palace maid chuckled and said, "Didn't Master Xie forget?" Lord Xie is the master of ceremonies of the Southern Suburbs Zen Ceremony two days later! ”

"Master of ceremonies? The master of ceremonies is not an old man...... No, isn't the emcee Liang Qiu Gong and Yin Gong? "Of course, Xie An's zhidào master of ceremonies is shime, which is the chief official who presides over the sacrifice and grand ceremony, and is generally served by the Ministry of Rites or the important ministers around the emperor, for example, during the state funeral a few days ago, the emcee was Liangqiu Gong and Yingong, because these two elders were the former son of heaven Li Ji Mo and close ministers.

Seeing Xie An's puzzled expression, the palace maid explained softly, "Lord Xie misunderstood, the Duke of Dongguo and the Prime Minister were the master of ceremonies during the previous state funeral, and two days later, the Southern Suburbs Feng Zen Ceremony was the grand ceremony of His Majesty the New Emperor's accession to the throne...... This is your Majesty's hand-picking! When she said the last sentence, the palace maid's eyes couldn't help but show a little longing.

"Your Majesty...... Under? Xie An subconsciously turned his head to Li Shou, but saw Li Shou covering his face with his right hand, shaking his head and looking at the top of the hall, with a look of [I don't know what to do].

Seeing him in such a contrived manner, where would Xie An not mingbái, it was obvious that Li Shou was uneasy about Feng Chan two days later, and deliberately pulled him into the water, asking people to back his back, to put it mildly, to embarrass the two of them together.

"You...... This...... Family...... Guy ......" gritted his teeth, Xie An spit out a few vague words in his mouth, bijing put all the palace maids beside him, and he couldn't say too qingchu, so as not to be caught by the imperial history platform for pigtails, and he wanted zhidào, and now the eighth prince Li Xianke is still angry.

Perhaps noticing Xie An's expression, Li Shou coughed, put up the emperor's stand for the first time, lowered his voice, and said in a voice that only Xie An could hear, "I am the ...... of the Son of Heaven."

Count you ruthless!

Gritting his teeth, Xie An was helplessly pulled into the hall by a group of palace maids, measured his body with a measuring rope soft ruler, and looked at Li Shou indignantly from time to time.

Seeing that Xie An was suffering from a crime like ziji Fangcai, Li Shou also showed a little schadenfreude on his face, and in addition to this, he also had some inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Just a year and a month ago, he Li Shou was still the king of Anle who was despised by the world, and Xie An was a half-servant and half-friend of his house, who would have thought that a year later, he had become the emperor of the Great Zhou, and his friend Xie An also became an important minister in the court, and he was a scholar in the criminal department.

This made Li Shou feel an inexplicable touch in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to express some shime.

"Come on, take another plate of preserved fruits!"

As soon as the words fell, along with the palace maid's response, there was Xie An's gnashing gaze. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
