Wu You's expectation was not bad, and before he could enter the courtyard, he saw Han Sheng's figure coming in a hurry. Han Sheng was not in the palace last night, and he also entered the palace with the courtiers today.

"Little Brother Liu, this is ......" Han Sheng looked at Liu Yu with puzzled eyes.

"The emperor is a guest." Liu Yu said.

"Huh?" Before Han Sheng could be surprised, Liu Yu showed him the edict of succession, and Han Sheng was even more surprised, and said, "This ...... Brother Liu, this seems to be your font. ”

Liu Yu told Han Sheng about the situation before the old emperor's death, and when Han Sheng heard that this edict was the imperial seal personally stamped by the emperor in front of Yuan Bolang, and was recognized by Yuan Bolang, he was relieved, but he still had a rather puzzled look on his face.

"Although King Yu is not very competitive, he is a concubine after all." Liu Yu added later.

Han Sheng nodded, and didn't say much more on this matter, but still reminded: "The emperor secretly summoned Qian Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites after the court meeting the day before yesterday to talk about things, and the matter of the big gift should be handed over to him by the new emperor to arrange." ”

This news made Liu Yu stunned, no wonder Wu You asked him Qian Hui as soon as he came up, and the most reluctant courtier he had ever seen before the old emperor was seriously ill turned out to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, on the one hand, he must have asked him about the heir ceremony, and secondly, it was likely that Qian Hui announced that the new successor was the king of Chu.

Liu Yue pondered Qian Hui's mentality and situation in this matter in his heart, Liu Yue understood that if it were not for the people who kept the rites, the emperor would not send him to the errand of the Ministry of Rites, and these etiquette keepers were basically like Yuan Bolang, who were "loyal to the monarch and patriotic". The current abnormal situation in the capital makes Qian Hui feel bad, and the king of Chu has not yet rushed back to the capital. The Son of Heaven does not sit on the court. It is certain that the forces of all parties will break the blood for the head of the battle for the throne. He simply hid in the capital first, so as not to be used as a gunman.

The people who have been in the court for a long time are all old treachers and cunning people.

Seeing that the enthronement ceremony is approaching, if there is no Ministry of Rites Shangshu present, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of many people.

Liu Yu couldn't admit that this was a usurpation, let alone that he did it. Liu Yu didn't have much experience in this area, so he had to tell the truth that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Qian Hui was missing and did not enter the palace. to solicit Han Sheng's opinion.

Han Sheng didn't look into it in detail, showing his absolute trust in Liu Yu, and thought for a while: "Then you leave everything to Yuan Xiang to do, and you are only responsible for stabilizing the overall situation." ”

This proposal is the same as Wu You's, all of which are to ask him not to interfere directly. It can be seen that Wu You and Han Sheng both have the same purpose, to help the new emperor achieve the smooth and smooth transfer of imperial power.

Wu You and Han Sheng entered the Yaqian Hall together, first gave a big gift to the new emperor, and then went to say goodbye to Yuan Bolang. Yuan Bolang twisted his head and said indignantly: "This kid surnamed Liu, when has he listened to the old man's opinion." ”

Liu Yu really wanted to slap him twice. Even without Yuan Bolang, he could make Su Yan emperor. It is nothing more than unjustified and unjustified suppression by force. The common people don't care about this kind of thing, whoever has a hard fist is the lord of the country. However, for the sake of Su Yan's throne being both reasonable and legitimate, he could only forbear for the time being and apologize to Yuan Bolang.

Han Sheng said: "Yuan Xianghaihan and Commander Liu are also to prevent unscrupulous people from taking the opportunity to make trouble, and only by mourning late can the dynasty be stabilized in one fell swoop, and it is also for the sake of the foundation of the Dashun Dynasty." The new emperor is weak, and Yuan Xiang doesn't want to see others plotting to usurp the throne, right? ”

Yuan Bolang didn't speak with a dark face, thinking about it in his heart, but he was still not angry with Liu Yu's arrogance, relying on his military power, he was stunned to let him, the "minister who cares for his life", speak without any weight, from last night to house arrest in the Yaqian Hall to the present.

"Is the old man right now what he says or not?" Yuan Bolang's momentum rose again, and he had the style of Xiangguo.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Of course Xiangguo, you have the final say." ”

Liu Yu is still in the same idea as before, as long as he helps Su Yan ascend the throne smoothly, whoever listens to him will be the same. Moreover, the military power is in his hands, and Yuan Bolang has to worry about Liu Yu's unruliness if he wants to play tricks. Liu Yue believes that Yuan Bolang will not be stupid enough to believe that he will obey his orders.

Yuan Bolang's move is mostly to take care of his identity and face.

"Mourning!" Yuan issued his first directive after returning to power. Now that the gates of the palace have been closed, the courtiers have gathered in Fengcui Palace, and the inside and outside of Fengcui Palace are also controlled by the Imperial Forest Army, and it is indeed time to mourn.

What was originally a cry like a chicken pecking rice turned into a tragic cry, and the Yaqian Hall was instantly enveloped in a huge sad atmosphere.

The guards of the Imperial Guards began to run around the palace to inform each other, especially to inform the concubines of the news to the inner court.

"Let's go, Fengcui Palace!"

Yuan Bolang just symbolically shed a few tears, wiped them, and instantly had the courage to preside over the overall situation. Because there was no tailor-made dragon robe and crown, Su Yan had to put on the old emperor's body first. In order to conform to the law of succession, he must also wear clothes that are several sizes larger.

Under the guidance of Yuan Bolang and the escort of the Imperial Forest Army, the group went in the direction of the Yaqian Palace. When the royal forest army on the road saw the dragon robe on Su Yan's body, they had roughly guessed the result, and on the occasion of the new emperor's accession to the throne, they also had to kneel down and salute.

The Fengcui Palace was completely full of people, the gate was closed, the guards of the Imperial Forest Army were guarding the door, and no one came to give an explanation. When the ministers were restless, the door suddenly opened, and the entire Fengcui Palace was quiet.

Yuan Bolang held the edict in his hand and entered the palace gate first surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they saw him wrapped a white cloth around his head. Minister Dai Xiao, either the death of the elders and relatives in the family, or the national funeral.

"Emperor Daxing's edict!"

Yuan Bolang climbed the jade steps and stood in front of the throne of the dragon chair, and a word made the courtiers speechless. It also confirmed their speculations.

The ministers knelt down, and Yuan Bolang began to read the contents of the edict in public. Speaking of which, the edict was written in a hurry, and most of the words used were the ones that Liu Yu had seen that day, and there were also incompleteness, but the most important thing in the edict was the candidate for the successor. When they heard that it was Su Yan, the king of Yu, even though the ministers understood that this was not the time to interrogate, they were still amazed.

"How can it be Lao Jiu? Who's turn will be his turn? ”

As soon as the edict was read, one person jumped up and questioned. Liu Yu saw clearly at the door, and it was the sixth prince Su Jian who had an arrogant attitude. Su Jian himself does not have much ability, and his influence in the court is not enough, so he is not enough to become a candidate for the crown prince at all, he should have understood this and did not want to fight, but when he heard that it was another person whose ability was not as good as his to become the new emperor, this psychological gap made him not angry.

Yuan Bolang said angrily: "The new emperor's candidate, but you can question it? Say more, take it! ”

The dignified right minister, the head of the civil and military officials, still has a lot of weight in his speech. Su Jian's own aura was not enough, so he glanced at Su Bi beside him, and when he saw that she didn't speak calmly, he was even more unconfident.

"Welcome to the new Emperor Dragon to ascend to the Great Treasure!"

Yuan Bolang spoke, dragging a long tail note, Su Yan wore a dragon robe and a crown, and entered the Fengcui Palace under the escort of Liu Yu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

When Su Yan walked up the jade steps, he was also a little unsteady and almost fell, Liu Yu grabbed him and helped him walk the last part of the road. When he turned around, Su Yan was in a cold sweat and looked at the courtiers below in a bit of a daze.

Su Yan stood, Liu Yu stood beside him, and the courtiers were silent. The atmosphere of the entire Fengcui Palace was a little weird. Yuan Bolang reminded on the side: "Your Majesty, please take a seat." ”

Su Yan thought that there was a dragon chair behind him, and he found a butt to sit on, and the ministers were about to consider whether to salute. Su Yan suddenly seemed to be pierced in the ass by a pendant, and jumped up immediately.

"Your Majesty, why?" Yuan Bolang asked.

"I didn't ...... Nothing? Su Yan pinched his face with his hand and asked in a low voice, "I...... Can I really do it? ”

Liu Yu didn't expect that he still didn't have the confidence to be an emperor at this time, and reminded on the side: "Your Majesty, you should call yourself me." ”

When Su Yan heard Liu Yu's voice, he smiled on his face, and he seemed to have confidence, and he was about to sit down, but he still said first: "I ...... I'm going to sit down! ”

Even sitting on the dragon chair has to say hello to the courtiers, where is there still the style of the emperor's ninety-five? When the courtiers saw him sit down, they did not immediately salute, but only watched.

No one kneels, and the etiquette is not successful, which means that no one recognizes Su Yan's throne. The silence is quite suffocating.

Just when Liu Yu pressed the sword on the hilt, Su Bi, the dignified Xinzhujun, pulled the sleeve of the four horses Chai Jin, the first to kneel, kowtowed: "Minister, Xinzhujun, meet the new emperor, long live my emperor." ”

Chai Jin knelt there like a chicken, but still said: "Long live!" ”

The people in Fengcui Palace are headed by Su Bi. Su Bi recognized that Su Yan was the new emperor, and others couldn't admit it if they wanted to. I had to kneel on the ground and say "Long live".

Su Yan has nominally become emperor. Whether these people are convinced or not, but outside the palace, there is still chaos.

Before the enthronement ceremony was over, a guard came to report: "King Jin and General Wuwei are coming to the north gate of Chang'an City with the Dongshui Camp Army!" (To be continued......)
