Luan drove and his entourage straight to the main hall of the palace, and only slowly opened the door of the outer hall of the main hall, Han Jian helped Yang Rui's mother and daughter to get off the Luan car, and at this time, all the officials followed behind and did not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi. Before Han Jian and Yang Rui entered the hall in harmony, they had already entered the hall with the little eunuch first, and stood from both sides.

After Han Jian and Yang Rui entered the palace, hundreds of officials behind them rushed in, most of the generals were generals of the Dongwangfu faction, and there were too many people involved in the court faction because of the incident last night, even some people who were not involved had never come to the palace today, such as Gu Weipan, the first assistant of the first dynasty. Ning Yuan, as a representative of the court officials, led the court officials into the palace, and the generals of the Eastern Prince's Mansion stood on the other side, of which the military generals also accounted for the majority.

Han Jian and Yang Rui personally climbed the jade steps, and before they arrived at the dragon chair, there was originally a companion chair next to the dragon chair, which was specially arranged by Yang Rui to facilitate Han Jian's sitting during the future court discussion. But at this time, she didn't say anything to Han Jian, she had already sat down on the chair next to her, the meaning was obvious, she was no longer the emperor, and even the dragon chair, which symbolized the dignity of the Ninety-Five, was given to Han Jian to sit on. Han Jian didn't sit down immediately, but turned around to look at the civil and military generals present, and no one officially bowed if he didn't sit down.

"Prince, please." Han Jian said suddenly.

At that moment, all the courtiers thought of the existence of Yang Xi, an embarrassing figure, and no one remembered Yang Xi since yesterday. Yang Rui's presence in the court was very low, and no one would pay attention to what he did in the palace on weekdays. With Han Jian's order, someone immediately went to "invite" the prince, saying that it was an invitation, but it was actually similar to an escort. Yang Xi hid in his bedroom and didn't know what was going on outside, and when he was surrounded by the little eunuchs and palace maids to the main hall of the palace, the hundred officials also let him open a way for him to come to the front.

"Why?" Yang Rui originally sat down, but when he saw Yang Xi entering the hall, Yang Rui still got up and looked at Han Jian to inquire.

Since Yang Rui chose to abdicate. She will not hand over the throne to Yang Xi. Since even she herself can't ensure that sitting on the dragon chair can make the court and the middle of the country harmonious, let alone Yang Xi, who doesn't have any ability to take on big responsibilities? After Yang Xi entered the hall, his head was lowered, he seemed to know that Han Jian was going to be promoted to the throne today, and he was also very dangerous as a prince at this time, even if Han Jian cared about his friendship with him. At the very least, he will be placed under house arrest until death.

"Prince, please go to the palace!" Han Jian said to Yang Xi, who walked over slowly.

Yang Xi glanced up at Han Jian, and looked at Han Jian, his expression was panicked, he couldn't look at Han Jian standing in front of the dragon chair in front of him, he quickly lowered his head, and said hesitantly: "No...... No need. ”

Han Jian said loudly: "Your Majesty has the heart to give way, you should give way to the crown prince, and the prince should also inherit the unification and let the people live in peace!" ”

Han Jian's words surprised everyone present. Everyone wondered if Han Jian didn't want to ascend the throne and let Yang Xi be the emperor? But if you think about it again. It doesn't make sense, Yang Rui herself already has the demeanor of an emperor, and if she wants to abdicate the throne, she will naturally give way to someone who can convince the public, and the prince in front of her is not even as good as an ordinary person, let alone let him be the son of heaven? At that time, the Eastern Prince's Mansion will control the government, and the court will be even more chaotic.

Yang Xi's tone was very sluggish, and he said, "Emperor...... I can't afford it, or the king of the east ...... It's better to be. ”

Yang Xi's words were once again despised by the comers. Some of the ministers of the imperial court faction who had expectations for him also felt disappointed. Previously in the plan of Lin Ke's rebellion. It is intended to let Yang Xi inherit the unification, after all, Yang Rui's relationship with the East Wangfu is entangled, even if the East Wangfu is eradicated and the East King Han Jian is killed, it is still impossible to eradicate the remnants of the East Wangfu, and Yang Rui's daughter is also Han Jian's daughter. Now that she is desperately trying to maintain the royal orthodoxy of the Wei Dynasty, will Yang Rui continue to be the emperor in the future, will she not pass on the throne to her and the daughter of the East King? Will what we do today be in vain?

"Prince, please go to the palace!" Han Jian called again.

Yang Xi still stood in the distance, not even moving. It wasn't until Han Jian called for the third time that Yang Xi suddenly knelt down and began to kowtow respectfully to Han Jian. His actions also made Yang Rui, who was standing on the side, breathe a sigh of relief. This shows that even if Yang Xi is poor, he can understand the current situation, he, the crown prince, is in name only, rather than listening to Han Jian's upper hall being pushed to the throne by Han Jian for a while, and he will die in the future, it is better to let go now, not only so that he does not have to bear the burden of the court, but also may be able to get out of the way, Han Jian cares about his "support" today, or can also give him knighthood and domain, and then he can still live for a long time.

With Yang Xi kneeling, it seemed that the entire imperial court no longer had the power to prevent Han Jian from ascending to the throne. Then Ning Yuan was the first to bow down, and he still called "Your Majesty" in his mouth, followed by the generals of the Dongwangfu faction, and finally the other officials of the imperial court faction. And Yang Rui, who was still standing next to Han Jian and holding his daughter, also wanted to kneel down in front of Han Jian, but was helped up by Han Jian.

Han Jian first helped Yang Rui sit down on the chair next to him, and then looked back at the hundred officials who knelt on the ground and said, "This king has been conscientious and has not dared to be abolished since he was appointed to the king of Tianqin. There has never been a usurper and rebel heart, today the princes raise love, Your Majesty's grace, so that this king can ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven, I am really ashamed. Since I am acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, I will look for another benevolent monarch in the future, and all the ministers should be dedicated to the foundation of the imperial court, so that the Hulu can be driven out as soon as possible and half of the mountains and rivers will be recovered! ”

"Obey Your Majesty's Imperial Decree!" The officials present said in unison.

The people present still had some strange emotions, and Han Jian finally decided to "act on behalf of the Son of Heaven" after resigning, which was actually to ascend the throne. Then the Wei Dynasty will become history, but everything has not been discussed in advance, and now the country name and era name must not be changed for the time being. The imperial court system will definitely follow the previous imperial court system, but in many important department positions, the new emperor will install more "own people" in the Eastern Palace.

Han Jian turned sideways to look at Yang Rui with a calm face, he didn't think that he would take Yang Rui's throne after all. From the beginning, he wanted to be the "imperial husband", but he didn't expect that this imperial husband was not easy to be, and after he was in power, others were more jealous of him, too many people wanted to eradicate him, Yang Rui also chose the simplest and most effective way at an appropriate time, that is, to give way to him, so that Han Jian, as the emperor, is no longer a chaotic minister and thief, and the world will also become the world of the Han family.

"All the ministers are flat!" Han Jian waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The hundred officials began to get up, and the same as bowing, the getting up was not neat. Some of the courtiers were already in tears. The end of a dynasty is under their witness, they are all "loyal ministers" of the Wei Dynasty, and they claim to be loyal and patriotic, but they want to bow down to a "traitor" and worship the traitor as the right lord of the dynasty. On the contrary, Yang Rui, as the party concerned, seemed to have thought of everything, and completed all this calmly. But Han Jian could still feel a sense of guilt in Yang Rui's heart.

Ning Yuan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty." Now that the northern barbarians are trying to invade the border, His Majesty should have sent an edict from the Son of Heaven to appease the hearts of the army and the people when he inherited the throne, and the officials of various states and counties should send envoys to congratulate him. Please also show Your Majesty, we should do our best for Your Majesty! ”

As he spoke, Ning Yuan bowed and saluted, meaning that he could do a beautiful job for Han Jian's enthronement. In front of me is just a simple enthronement ceremony, and the official enthronement ceremony has not yet arrived, and when it comes to the official ceremony, in addition to the edict of the heavens. It is also necessary to change the name of the country to the yuan, and to canonize the queen mother, queen and concubines, and to set up the prince and prince. None of this is simple, but since ancient times, there are precedents to follow for the Zen position and Yi Tianzi, as long as someone in the court can handle it, there is no need for Han Jian to work too hard, and someone will do it well. And Ning Yuan in order to fulfill his duties as the first assistant of the first dynasty. Naturally, he took the initiative to ask Ying to do these things for Han Jian.

Han Jian didn't want to use Ning Yuan anymore, but now it's just like when the soldiers and horses just recovered Luoyang. had to rely on an official of the imperial court faction with a background like Ning Yuan to maintain the overall situation, and temporarily using Ning Yuan was also to reassure the generals of the imperial court, and he would be replaced in the future.

Han Jian said: "Ning Shangshu made a meritorious contribution to quelling the rebellion yesterday, and he was the first to do so. Now Ning Shangshu is added as the Taishi, leading the Shangshutai, and coordinating all matters of the imperial court! ”

Ning Yuan's face was overjoyed. Immediately bowed and saluted: "The minister receives the order!" ”

Han Jian looked at the other officials and said, "All those involved in yesterday's rebellion will be imprisoned, and they will be punished after the sacrifice to the heavens and the people." ”

Han Jian said this, which is equivalent to temporarily letting Lin Ke and other first offenders not have to die. Instead, wait for death. As for whether there will be an amnesty in the future, and whether these people will be killed or exiled after the amnesty, it will also have to wait for further instructions from Han Jian.

Ning Yuan played again: "Please move to the palace and sit in the dragon qi!" ”

Han Jian nodded slightly, and said, "Go back and make arrangements!" ”

From beginning to end, although Han Jian regarded himself as the emperor, he did not call himself a lonely widow and did not let Yang Ruitai come to power. Han Jian said that he wanted to go back and arrange for moving to the palace, and he did not stipulate a specific time limit, which was tantamount to handing over the matter to Ning Yuan and the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

After that, Han Jian made some personnel arrangements, mainly the transfer of Luoyang city defense, as for the court officials, because some people were involved in yesterday's rebellion, Han Jian requisitioned and transferred some civil officials of the Eastern Wangfu to the imperial court system, which was equivalent to completing the first step of his succession to the throne, and integrating the people of the Eastern Wangfu with the people of the imperial court. This is also the first step to replace the original court system, first let the people of the East Wangfu adapt to the court system, and then promote some rising stars, or install their own people into it, and replace the original Yang Rui's court with a new court.

Everything was arranged, and the simple enthronement ceremony came to an end. Han Jian personally announced his "retreat from the dynasty", but Han Jian did not go first, but watched the general leave the palace hall, and he chose to stay with Yang Rui's mother and daughter. Waiting for the hundred officials and the palace maids and eunuchs who followed them out of the palace, Yang Rui finally couldn't help but shed tears, for her, she became a sinner today, and took the initiative to give up the throne to Han Jian, and she will no longer be a human monarch but a human minister in the future, and even the daughter in her arms will no longer become the crown prince.

"Rui'er, you...... If I feel wronged, I can take it back. Han Jian sighed.

Yang Rui wiped the tears on his face a little, and said: "Since the husband is already the lord of a dynasty, there is no need to consider the opinions of the concubines, the concubines just ask themselves to be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, I am afraid that I will not be able to meet them again under the Nine Springs!" ”

Han Jian stepped forward to help Yang Rui up, and was about to accompany Yang Rui back to the dormitory to comfort him again. However, a little eunuch came to report, saying that Han Song was already waiting at the palace gate, but did not enter the palace.

At this time, the hundred officials have not yet walked out of the main gate of the palace, Han Song's family came over like this, logically speaking, as long as Han Jian ascends the throne as the emperor, then as the second mother who raised Han Jian, Han Song's family will become the queen mother. But Han Jian obviously didn't want to establish the "Queen Mother" and cause a conflict between Han Song and Yang Rui, and Han Jian didn't want to confuse the Eastern Palace's mansion with the royal family.

"Please invite the princess into the palace!" Originally, Han Jian was leaving, and he was not in a hurry at this time.

Yang Rui was about to leave, Han Jian helped her and said, "You don't need to avoid it, just see you together." ”

Yang Rui bowed, but he still sat back on the side chair next to the dragon chair.

Soon Han Song's family came into the palace in person, this time Han Song's family came alone, Han Song's family was dressed in luxurious palace clothes, which was the noble lady's outfit she should wear when she entered the palace as the princess of the county. When Han Song entered the main hall, he walked to the hall, bowed to Han Jian respectfully, and said, "The concubine sees Your Majesty!" ”

"The princess of the county is exempt." Even if there are no outsiders present, everything is based on etiquette.

Han Song's body was flat, but his eyes were aimed at Yang Rui sitting next to Han Jianjian, and he was angry. In her opinion, now that Han Jian has succeeded to the throne, there is no need to be polite to Yang Rui, Yang Rui is only Han Jian's concubine at most, and she can't even be the queen.

"The concubine entered the palace today, asking His Majesty to change the name of the country as soon as possible and establish the queen and the crown prince to calm the hearts of the people."

Unlike what Ning Yuan played before, Han Song's family cared more about Empress Li. According to the previous rules, since Han Jian, as the king of the east, has his own concubine, although Gu Xin'er and Yang Li'er are nominally Han Jian's concubines, Han Jian always has to choose one of them as the queen. As for Yang Rui, even if she used to be the Son of Heaven, she is now just a concubine next to the emperor, and she is not qualified to sit on the queen's seat.

Han Jian said: "The princess of the county is in a hurry. Everything should be drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, and Taishi Ning should be fully responsible. As for the princess of the county, as long as she takes care of the affairs of the East Palace. ”

Han Song's-for-tat said: "What Your Majesty said is not true, now the East Wangfu is the imperial court, and the East Wangfu no longer exists. Since the East Palace's Mansion does not exist, how can the concubines take care of the affairs of the East Palace? But the affairs of the court can be managed by the concubines? ”

Han Jian did not reply.

His ascension to the throne is obviously what Han Song has long wanted to see. However, Han Song's clan still wanted to see Han Jian suppress all the original Yang clans, even Yang Rui was no exception. Even if he inherits the throne of the Son of Heaven now, he is still unstable, he took advantage of the rebellion of the court and Yang Rui's concession to ascend to this son, he does not want to make the government and the opposition uneasy as a rebel.

"Everything is business as usual in the East Prince's Mansion. Before the main hall, this king will not consider himself an emperor! ”

Han Jian was almost angry, and scolded Han Song's family. Han Songshi was stunned on the spot. (To be continued......)
