Chapter 283: King Zhao's Enthronement Ceremony
At the beginning of August of the lunar calendar, King Zhao officially succeeded to the throne.
On this day, all the streets of the entire imperial capital were blocked, and all the pedestrians and citizens were driven out of the central streets of the imperial capital, and all retreated to the next intersection to watch the grand occasion.
The entire street was covered with a red carpet, and on both sides of the road were soldiers in armor and spears in the other, with solemn expressions. Everyone was separated from each other, and many climbed onto the rooftops to watch. Such a lively thing, I don't think I can encounter it a few times in my life, how can I easily miss it?
The whole palace is solemn and majestic, and hundreds of officials worship, whether they are in the palace or outside the palace, all with solemn expressions, respectful and solemn.
Wan Ningzhu and Yan Wang, Lan Hanyan, and Zuo Shaotang also mixed in the crowd, looking lively.
King Yan's expression has always been very gloomy, this position should have belonged to him, but now it is occupied by his eldest brother Dove.
Wan Ningzhu lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, the person who laughs at the end is often the one who really laughs best." His qi should be exhausted. β
King Yan nodded silently, although he also knew that sooner or later he would ban King Zhao and replace him, but it was all kinds of unpleasant to watch others show off their might on the fruits of their labor.
Zuo Shaotang suddenly said lazily: "The frog at the bottom of the well is difficult to achieve." The world is so big, how can you just stick to the present? β
Wan Ningzhu's eyebrows raised, she reached out and patted Zuo Shaotang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, if you go out, you will have a wide range of knowledge!" β
Lan Hanyan snickered: "He! I guess it's not just the experience that I've seen, but also the beautiful women, right? β
Yan Wang on the side immediately turned his head to look at Zuo Shaotang, and Zuo Shaotang hurriedly clarified: "Don't talk nonsense!" I'm a pure man! I don't mess around! β
Wan Ningzhu and Lan Hanyan glanced at each other and forcibly held back a smile.
Hey, hey, I'm starting to be afraid of guilt!
Who used to run to the Qinglou so much? How do you learn to clear it up now?
The four of them are talking about the excitement, and the ceremony over there is about to begin.
A long musical instrument sounded in the palace, and King Yan explained: "This is the beginning of the ceremony, the whole process will take about nearly an hour, worship the ancestors and worship the heaven and earth, and then read the edict to amnesty the world!" Hum! Amnesty for the world? I have the ability to pardon me! β
Listening to King Yan's self-deprecation, Wan Ningzhu said unceremoniously: "Yes, I have the ability to pardon the whole world!" β
The ceremonies inside the palace were lively, and the spectators outside were also waiting for it. There are a lot of people, and all kinds of twitter can't be avoided! The emperor's enthronement ceremony is a very serious matter, and in that era, he had no cameras, no television, and no network to broadcast the whole process! Therefore, the bustle inside cannot be seen outside, and the bustle outside cannot be heard inside!
A group of people around Wan Ningzhu started chatting.
Tourist A said with a smile: "Ah, this new emperor ascends the throne, I don't know if he will pardon the death row prisoners in the prison!" In previous years, the new emperor ascended the throne, but it was a general amnesty for the world! β
"Death row prisoner? Hmph, it is estimated that with the character of the new emperor, don't wait for pardon, it is estimated that it will all click before ascending the throne! Visitor B replied in a whisper.
Wan Ningzhu quickly glanced back, yo, you are not small, you dare to say that!
But when Wan Ningzhu looked back, he immediately understood that the few people behind him were not from Zhongshu Country at all, looking at the clothes and dressing like walking merchants, it is estimated that he doesn't know which country is Nanwei or Dongyue Country! Because the styles of Xisha Country and Beixue Country are very different, you can recognize them at a glance! South and North are dreaming of running to see the excitement? Lose your marbles?
Tourist A continued: "I also heard a more exciting news, I heard that the old emperor has a concubine, who looks good and has a good figure, after the old emperor abdicated, the new emperor left this old concubine behind!" β
Wan Ningzhu couldn't help coughing, oops, this King Zhao is really all kinds of heavy tastes!
I really didn't see it! A person with a dignified appearance and such a gloomy personality is actually so heavy!
But then again, which concubine I have seen, when the concubine was on her birthday, the concubine was indeed well maintained. A woman in her forties is almost as good as a woman in her thirties, and King Zhao is also in her thirties, so it is reasonable to be interested in women of this age, but the other party is his stepmother, so he gave someone else, cough, cough, cough, this taste is really heavy!
Lan Hanyan smiled and laughed, these two really wanted to go together!
Lan Hanyan lowered her head and said to Wan Ningzhu: "Daughter-in-law, when you are forty years old, will you still have the charm of a?" β
Wan Ningzhu glanced at him fiercely, and said confidently: "Sister will always be twenty-five years old!" You're just a! β
Lan Hanyan continued to say shyly: "People also want to taste the taste of!" β
"Go to the side! Tonight, the old lady will let you know what the year of the tiger and wolf is! "Wan Ningzhu's eyes are horizontal, and the red eyes are as charming as they are!
Ahem, ahem, stop, stop! There are children here! Yan Wang and Zuo Shaotang are not yet adults! You're going to flirt and go home! Don't pollute our pure air!
With that to say, the ceremony in the palace is finally over. The palace gate was opened, and the emperor's honor guard slowly walked out of the palace gate.
King Yan lowered his voice and said, "It's here!" At this time, the new emperor will take the newly crowned queen, imperial concubines, princes, princes, and important courtiers to start walking the streets. Our only chance is for them to cross a stone bridge three miles away and rescue the fourth from the group! Then leave separately according to the underwater escape route prepared in advance and gather in the grove outside the city gate. Everyone's memorized the route, right? Now it's just the four of us, but we can't be sloppy! β
"Got it." The other three replied in a low voice, bowed their heads, turned and scattered away.
King Zhao was dressed in a brand-new dragon robe, sitting on a majestic sixteen-lift sedan chair, accepting the worship of the people on the roadside.
Seeing the people on both sides of the road kneeling down and saluting and shouting long live, King Zhao's face showed a satisfied smile.
He had been waiting for this day for too long! Since I was sensible, I have been waiting for this day to come.
After planning for so long, I finally made myself wait! Although the price paid was too great, in the end, the fruits of victory were plucked by themselves!
The big chase behind King Zhao is the queen's, that is, the former Princess Zhao.
Although Princess Zhao is dressed in a phoenix crown and has supreme dignity, her face is blank. The worship of the people did not bring her the slightest joy. She kept staring at the man in front of her, and for some reason, she suddenly felt that the man next to her pillow had become so strange.
It's just a few years ago, the two of them were still a loving couple, discussing things together, fighting big things together, and topping small things together.
No matter what happens, good or bad, everyone is in the same boat through thick and thin.
However, since the coup d'Γ©tat, he seems to have completely changed as a person. It becomes busier, more irritable, more unpredictable.
Although he has enjoyed the glory and wealth he has dreamed of since then, he seems to have lost the most important thing.
Until one day, the palace maid came to tell her that the moment her beloved husband doted on her best sister, her heart was like being torn apart!
Holding his chest, he didn't catch his breath for a long time.
At that moment, there were not even tears, only deep pain.
Well, resign yourself to your fate! When you choose this man, you have actually chosen this kind of life! Your man, after all, is not your own private property, but a shared product with other women!
Ye Su finally knows the roots, better than other younger and more beautiful women!
There is never a shortage of fresh women in the palace, and there is never a shortage of fresh women for their own men.
Therefore, instead of being robbed of favor sooner or later, it is better to grasp this favor in the palm of your hand now!
On the surface, generosity is actually how many tears and blood to swallow, how many people can really understand?!
With Ye Su, the women in the back suddenly became more and more numerous. Even, even his father's woman, he was involved!
That's it, that's it. Just let it be!
Heart, dead.
Splendor? Hmph, the glory and wealth of bullshit! To hell with it!
Looking at the indifference on the queen's face, the subsequent imperial concubine Ye Su also had a blank face.
The right hand gently stroked the child in the belly, and the mouth was bitter.
Is the position of the queen really that important? Is it right or wrong to do it yourself? Although King Sui has always ignored himself, he is better than being single-minded! For so many years, he has always adhered to his love for that woman, and never refused to look at other women! Even if you insist on it, there is a meaning in persevering!
But now, she has become the imperial concubine and has become the same queen, but why don't you feel happy at all?
suddenly felt that she was actually very envious of that woman, although she had never had an official title, but she had gained the sincerity of countless men.
Perhaps, you are really wrong?
Wanwan, although you and I are enemies, but at this moment I still have to admit that you are indeed more chic than me!
The fourth prince Shangguan Gouyue, no, it should be called the fourth prince now. He took a group of young princes and princesses to follow Ye Su's big pick, affectionately lonely and lonely.
Others will think that he is just depressed because he can't get the throne, but who understands that he is guilty and blames himself for not being able to save his father in the end? γ
This filial man gave everything, but in the end he was not able to keep everything he wanted to protect.
After him, it was someone Wan Ningzhu who was all too familiar.
When Wan Ningzhu saw him from the crowd, he suddenly hesitated. Should I switch tasks with others? If you face him like this, will he recognize himself?
Ouyang Junhe, why is our life always full of all kinds of coincidences and all kinds of misfortunes?
Why meet here? Why meet here?
Why did you come to Kitakasu?
Yes, it was no one else who appeared behind the prince! It is the guest of honor of Dongyue Kingdom, Ouyang Junhe!
His appearance in Beizhongshu is actually a kind of goodwill, a gesture of diplomatic relations.
But why is it him?
Are all the people of Dongyue Kingdom dead? Why did you send him alone?
In the crowd, Wan Ningzhu, who was waiting for an opportunity to make a move, hesitated suddenly.
When he made a move, Ouyang Jun was so close to him, he would definitely make a move! So will he recognize his disguised self?
If he recognizes himself, what should he do?
Knowing the past with him, I suddenly felt that I had lost my courage and couldn't face this man who had paid too much for himself!
