The second day of the first month of March was the day of the enthronement ceremony, and the hundred officials waited in front of the main gate of the palace before dawn in the morning. Driven from the East Palace, escorted by soldiers and horses, before arriving at the main gate of the palace at Chenshi, Han Jian put on the emperor's crown for the first time, and stepped out of the car to accept the bowing of the hundred officials.

At this time, the officials in front of the palace are still dominated by the faction of the East Palace, there are few officials of the court faction, and there are very few princes and nobles invited, after all, it is to change the dynasty, the royal family of the Yang family has been quite sluggish in recent years, Shangshutai and the Ministry of Rites have invited some officials and gentry in the city to come to watch the ceremony, and people are crowded in the southeast corner of the palace gate, and the number is not very large.

Han Jian wanted to enter the palace to see Yang Rui again, but he knew that Yang Rui would definitely avoid it. Today's enthronement ceremony, Yang Rui will not attend in person.

Soon the emperor's Luan drove out in the palace, and Han Jian walked on the Luan car alone, Luan drove in front, and hundreds of officials followed, and the group went to the Temple of Heaven in the east of the city, which was also the place where today's enthronement ceremony was sacrificed to the sky.

In order to prevent things from happening on the way, the streets were blocked along the way, and the people were not allowed to come out to watch the ceremony, but outside the non-main roads, the people had poured out, and the new emperor had ascended the throne by changing the dynasty, which was a major event for the people in Luoyang City at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and no one wanted to come out to witness. However, as Luan Jia and Baiguan arrived at the altar, the people were still not allowed to approach the main road where Luan Jia was traveling.

Under the altar, Han Jian stepped off Luan, and Ning Yuan walked over in court clothes, and respectfully handed over a few days' message to Han Jian. Ning Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is the Book of Confession to the Heavens. Please also ask Your Majesty to show me. ”

The previous proclamation of the sacrifice to the heavens was sent to Han Jian for review, and Han Jian did not feel inappropriate after reading it, but there were two blanks in the proclamation of the sacrifice to the heavens, one was the country name and the other was the year name. Ning Yuan had asked Han Jian several times before, but he had not received an answer, and he was very clever to leave blank information in a few days. I also want Han Jian to supplement it by himself when he sacrifices to the sky. In this way, his task will be completed, and he will be taken into account in the court, killing two birds with one stone.

Ning Yuan said: "Your Majesty, please come to the stage." ”

Han Jian nodded slightly, looking at the heroic soldiers of the three armies present, as well as the hundred officials who were a little tired in the cold wind, Han Jian personally waited for the altar. The festival was also officially launched. The drums sounded, the long horn beat through the sky, and the hundred officials ascended to the sacrificial platform after Han Jian. At the same time as Han Jian, he bowed to heaven and earth, burned incense and sacrificed.

After the sacrifice, Han Jian handed the message of the sacrifice to the sky on the desk, which was equivalent to letting the heavens and the earth see his message first, and then Han Jian handed the message directly to the little eunuch waiting to read it out next to him. Ning Yuan below couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw it, to know that there was still a blank space on the notice.

The little eunuch just read from the script, and didn't think about anything wrong with it. Wait for a long proclamation to finish reading. But even the blank space is directly passed, and the hundred officials below don't hear it very clearly, but there is something wrong with it. Baiguan was most concerned about the question of the country name and the year name, but in the end, he didn't get an answer.

After noon, the festival came to an end. The hundred officials still couldn't stop, and they had to enter the palace to pay homage to the new emperor in the palace hall, and the hundred officials cleaned up their mood and went out of the altar. But before Luan could come, he saw Pegasus coming. When the new emperor held the enthronement ceremony. However, there were still battle reports from the front, indicating that it should be a major event.

Pegasus was not stopped, and only stopped when he was ten zhang away from Han Jian, and the herald almost fell off his horse, staggered to Han Jian, untied the letter on his body, and respectfully presented it to Han Jian. The generals around Han Jian were all talking. They are speculating about what happened on the front line.

Han Jian read the documents of the border emergency, and immediately ordered: "With the people on the left road of Hebei, immediately transfer troops to the north!" ”

"Whoa!" The herald immediately passed Han Jian's password to the yamen of the military station, and when Han Jian's order was issued, the generals present felt that something big had happened. Hebei left road people. It was Su Tingxia's men and horses, originally Su Tingxia was still quelling the rebellion of the local gentry in Hebei, and at this time, more than 10,000 people from Su Tingxia were also transferred to the north, and it can be seen that something big happened at the border.

Ning Yuan stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, but ...... Border emergency? ”

"Hmm." Han Jian put the secret letter in the letterbox into his sleeve, nodded slightly, and said, "Di Yi sent 200,000 troops to attack six border fortresses in my Beiguan, this battle is inevitable!" ”

Ning Yuan's brows furrowed, when the Xianbei people didn't pick anything else, just at this time they sent 200,000 troops to knock on the pass to prepare to go south, but also to take advantage of Han Jian, the new emperor's foothold, to take advantage of the fact that Han Jian, the new emperor, was still separated from Germany and the Central Plains was caught off guard. Han Jian didn't say much about boarding Luanjia, and Ning Yuan beckoned hundreds of officials to line up and return to the palace with Luan Jia.

After entering the main gate of the palace and arriving at the main hall of the palace, hundreds of officials entered the inner hall to wait, while Han Jian first went to the inner hall to personally issue some military orders. When the hundred officials were still discussing, Han Jian entered the palace hall from the side hall, and the hall suddenly quieted down, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to face Han Jian.

Ning Yuan got up and saluted: "Your Majesty's accession to the throne is in accordance with the mandate of heaven, Hu Bang barbarians don't know how to admire the emperor's grace, and send troops to attack, please ask Your Majesty to send people from all walks of life to go to the throne!" ”

Before Han Jian sat down on the dragon chair, Ning Yuan was in such a hurry to make the affairs of the north public, and he also wanted to show that he was the first assistant of the imperial court, not only able to manage civil affairs, but also to interfere in the military. Han Jian said: "Zhun Ning Taishi played, the local purge of soldiers and horses, transfer troops to the north, and fight with the Xianbei barbarians!" ”

Ning Yuan immediately explained to the minister of Shangshutai on his body, meaning that he would immediately draft the will according to Han Jian's will when he returned.

Ning Yuan said again: "Please also ask Your Majesty to change the Yuan and the country!" ”

Han Jian still did not sit down on the dragon chair, and said with a solemn expression: "When I first ascended the throne, the people will suffer from war, and they will not dare to violate the will of heaven. I decided to lead the army to conquer in person, and after the world is stable, I will change the Yuan and the country! ”

"This ......" Ning Yuan was taken aback, Han Jian had just inherited the emperor's throne now, and he hadn't even changed the country name and year name, so he said that he wanted to drive the imperial expedition in person. Xianbei people are 200,000 soldiers and horses in several ways to knock on the pass, and at the same time there are Xianbei soldiers and horses in the old land of Xiliang, this battle can be delayed, so that it is not easy for Xianbei people to withdraw by themselves, if Han Jian goes, that is, to fight to the end, it is good to win, if it fails, Han Jian will be a short-lived emperor, and at that time it will be either Han Xi, the young son of the East King, who will ascend the throne, and at that time it will be the main Shaoguo who is suspicious of the world. Either Yang Rui is back in charge of the government, and everything he has done now is in vain.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Ning Yuan was the first to salute and admonish. The ministers behind him also bowed down and persuaded him.

Han Jian insisted and said: "My mind has been decided, and you don't need to persuade the Qing family anymore." After the purge of soldiers and horses, I will personally lead the troops to the north, and the civil and political affairs of the imperial court will be fully responsible for the affairs of the imperial court. Then it will be at the disposal of the Takeshi shogunate! ”

When Han Jian finished speaking, many people felt surprised and puzzled, when did the imperial court have a yamen of the "Wu Shogunate"? The imperial court has always had a military department, and in wartime it will prepare military aircraft agreed upon by the army, and the Wu'an office was appropriated from the Jiangdu military and political system. Up to now, the military headquarters of the imperial court and the generals' palaces have been in vain.

Han Jian continued: "From a few days ago, the military yamen was restructured into the military shogunate. From the general downward, the generals, deputy generals, and commanders of the military were appointed by the Shogunate, and the former governors and generals were attached to the Shogunate. From now on, the military department will no longer be involved in military and political affairs, and the military shogunate will directly obey my orders, and the book does not need to be reviewed by the Shangshutai! ”

After Han Jian's words were finished, Ning Yuan's face darkened a little. He broke his silence just now and made the urgent matter in the north public, and asked Han Jian to arrange it, in fact, it was taking advantage of the opening of the new dynasty. Take care of the military and political affairs under Shangshutai, so that he can really be under one person and above ten thousand. But Han Jian immediately gave him a riposte. Not only did it not hand over the military and political power to Shangshutai, but some of the authority under the original command of Shangshutai was withdrawn, so that as before, the imperial court could still be responsible for civil and political affairs, but when it came to the military, it would all be handed over to the newly established military shogunate. And needless to say, the officials of this Takeshi shogunate are also people from the Eastern Prince's Mansion system. Ning Yuan can still only be an empty first and auxiliary minister, but he cannot be the prime minister of the government and the opposition.

At that moment, Han Jian immediately gave a detailed explanation of the restructuring of the military station, and transferred several generals who were originally subordinate to the military office's yamen to the newly established Wu Shogunate, so that even if he was personally outside, he was not in Luoyang City. All military affairs were still in charge of the Shogunate, without having to go through the two checkpoints of the Imperial Court and the Eastern Prince's Palace. Han Jian came first to prevent Ning Yuan from seizing power, and secondly, to prevent Han Song's seizure of power. At this time, he ascended the throne as the emperor, if he was personally outside, in order to completely suppress the original Wei Dynasty royal family, the Han Song clan would definitely first grasp the military power and purge the Yang clan. Han Jian had to take precautions in advance so that Han Song's would not have a chance.

Several of the leaders of the Wu Shogunate transferred by Han Jian were all young generals who had been newly promoted in the past two years, and many of them were generals who had just returned from the north and had contributed to the suppression of Lin Ke's rebellion. These people are relatively politically literate, and they have nothing to do with the Han Song clan and the court faction, and some of the old courtiers of the original Dongwang Mansion are either involved with Lin Ke, or obedient to the Han Song clan, Han Jian took advantage of the fact that he had just quelled the rebellion and he ascended the throne as the emperor, and did not purge the old ministers of Jiangdu on the surface, but he also transferred them out of the key departments first, so as not to appear again The defenders in the city and the rebellion are embarrassed.

It was originally Han Jian's enthronement ceremony, but it became a meeting for Han Jian to explain government affairs and military affairs after he went north. The hundred officials did not dare to talk about it, after all, it was the new emperor who ascended the throne, and whoever dared to say something inappropriate might be characterized as a rebel in the previous dynasty, after all, Lin Ke and the others were still waiting in the cell to be sent down.

The court meeting didn't end until sunset, and the officials were tired and hungry at the end of the day, but they had to wait for Han Jian to leave before they could leave the palace one after another. After the court meeting, Ning Yuan didn't have time to return to the house, but had to go to Shangshutai first, draw up a holy decree on the civil and political arrangements made by Han Jian before, and send it to the palace for Han Jian to make the final revision and announcement.

When Han Jian left the main hall of the palace, he suddenly felt a lot of emotion, this was the first time that he had announced what he had decided as an emperor. Although he has monopolized power these days, there is still Yang Rui to share his worries, and now Yang Rui's abdication is equivalent to losing all power, if she doesn't want to be the queen, then she is just an ordinary concubine, a "remnant of the previous dynasty", and the affairs of the court will be decided by him alone in the future, and it is impossible to relax if you want to.

Han Jian went directly to the inner garden of the palace to see Yang Rui, and now that the enthronement ceremony is over, unless Yang Rui avoids him forever, otherwise there should be something open between husband and wife. After Han Jian entered the inner palace, there was still some mess inside, because of the repair of the palace, as well as the etiquette and furniture of the East Palace, there were not many people in the palace, and a batch of them were cut before, and it was troublesome to rely on some little eunuchs and palace maids to complete it.

Although the inner courtyard of the palace is a little chaotic, but Yang Rui's bedroom is very quiet outside, although Yang Rui abdicates, but everyone in the palace knows to avoid the former empress, and no one dares to come and disturb. In addition, the palaces arranged for Yang Rui and Gu Xin'er and other daughters are a little far away from Yang Rui's bedroom, and the noise over there will not affect Yang Rui's bedroom. When Han Jian arrived, Hui'er was at the door, sitting on a small bench with her head down, as if she was fiddling with something.

Han Jian stepped forward, but Hui'er still didn't notice it, and when she saw Han Jian's figure, she stood up in fright and hurriedly saluted Han Jian.

"Didn't you stay with Your Majesty and take care of it more, why did you come out?" Han Jian asked coldly.

Hui'er was very aggrieved and said, "Yes...... It was His Majesty who didn't let the slaves and maids inside. ”

Although Han Jian has ascended the throne, he still can't change his name for Yang Rui. After Han Jian finished speaking, he felt that he had wronged Hui'er, Hui'er was originally timid, and Yang Rui was her master, but if Yang Rui didn't like to see her, how could he keep her inside? She is also conscientious, preferring to move a small bench to blow the cold wind outside than go elsewhere.

"Get up and go inside with me!" Han Jian wanted to go inside, but Hui'er still looked embarrassed. Yang Rui explained to her before, no matter who came, she couldn't go inside, and especially pointed out that the "new emperor" had arrived. Hui'er didn't dare to stop it if she wanted to, the former King of the East had already scared her, and now that the King of the East had become the emperor, she couldn't afford to provoke her.

Han Jian didn't let Hui'er go in to report this time, but went inside, lifted the curtain and walked inside, Yang Rui sat at the table with a calm face, and the little princess slept very peacefully in the cradle. Yang Rui glared at Han Jian sideways, with her cultivation, it was easy to hear what Han Jian was saying outside, and there was nothing she could do at this time if Han Jian wanted to break in.

"Now that the husband is the Son of Heaven, what are you going to do?" Yang Rui turned his head to the side and said coldly, "The concubine is unwell, if Your Majesty is fine, please leave." ”

Han Jian sighed, "Rui'er, why do you have to do this? Although I have taken your throne now, I have not even changed the name of the country and the name of the year, and I know that you do not want to see me, but before I go to the north, I still want to come and see you, and I will treat it as if it were something else.
