Chapter 256: Enthronement Ceremony

Qing'an's reign is still short, but compared with Jin Lifu, the people support him more. A few days ago, the government posted an announcement on the auspicious day and auspiciousness of the enthronement ceremony, which was on the altar of the Lantern Festival.

Different from the special arrangement made by Jin Lifu during the Lantern Festival, on this day, the people waited there early, just to see the honor of the new Lord. What's more, the new lord killed Jin Lifu and a group of traitorous officials after the ceremony, which is really happy.

Qing'an was supposed to go out of the palace with Princess Ling to go to the ceremony, but Qing'an was very disgusted with what Princess Ling had done in the past few days, or because she felt guilty about making her miscarriage, she insisted that Princess Ling was not the queen, and he, the emperor, had no reason to wait for her, so he left Princess Ling and went to the ceremony first.

Under Su Sheng's reminder, He Lei checked the inside and outside of the altar, for fear that Cheng Zirui would secretly attack. But after a few days of investigation, nothing was found wrong, but it made He Lei more and more worried.

The drums were raised, the horns were raised, and Qing'an was dressed in a dark dragon robe and ascended to the altar, which was more solemn than Jin Lifu, who was dressed in bright yellow that day.

Suddenly, someone under the altar walked up to He Lei in a panic and whispered something to him. He Lei's face changed, and he looked up at Qing'an, who was walking towards the altar step by step. After hesitating for a moment, Qing'an had already walked to the altar. He Lei frowned and shook his head at the man.

Sacrificing to the heavens and thanking the people, every action of Qing'an seems to have been practiced thousands of times, and there is no mistake at all. It was as if he had already experienced many occasions, and he was calm and steady, without the slightest panic, and he had already shown his majesty when he stood on the altar.

This is the real emperor, this is the real Son of Heaven.

Qing'an gestured to the bottom of the altar, and the person next to He Lei suddenly turned pale and trembled. It was supposed to be the time when Princess Ling ascended the altar, but there was no movement for a long time, Qing'an looked under the altar, and saw He Lei shaking his head at him with a calm face.

He thought that Princess Suzu was losing her temper again, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart.

I don't know what to do, it's better not to come.

Qing'an looked down at his subjects and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, his majestic voice came from above.

"Bring Jin Lifu and his fellow party members up."

Jin Lifu's tendons have already been broken, and he can only collapse on the ground like a puddle of mud. Next to him was Zhuo Changdong, who had his tongue pulled out and his face was like death, and next to him was the old eunuch who only had one breath, and behind him was a traitorous minister who Jin Lifu had once pulled up and rebelled against the party.

General Li stepped under the altar, shook off the thick scroll in his hand, and read the crimes of everyone kneeling here in front of the officials and the people in a voice like a bell.

The doglegs who worked for Jin Lifu from behind were in front of them one by one. How many lives each person had in his hands, and how many benefits he received, were clearly written in the scroll, and the people were indignant.

General Li kicked the old eunuch and shouted: "This person is the former prince's most trusted eunuch, not only poisoned the former prince, but also killed the princess ruthlessly. He received money from people in the palace and murdered many concubines, and obtained more than 4 million taels of stolen silver. Killing the imperial physician Gao Qiuping......"

There was a wail among the people, and a woman came forward with a cry, and asked General Li with teary eyes and trembling all over her body. "This general, what you just said is Gao Qiuping?"

Some officials recognized this as the wife of the imperial physician, and even more acquaintances came to consol her. The woman was heartbroken, "My family has not been home since a few days ago, I thought it was because the palace was busy, but I didn't expect to be killed by him!" The adults in my family are good at medicine, but they never do evil things, and in the first two years, they spontaneously went to barren and barren places to practice medical relief. You thief, how can you do it! ”

When the woman said this, immediately some of the people rose up.

"Yes, I came from that place, and there was indeed a doctor surnamed Gao who saved a lot of people at that time, and he didn't charge a penny!"

"This thief should have been put to death a long time ago!"

"Not human!"

……

The emotions of the people became more and more excited, and General Li was not afraid that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble, but felt that the more this was the case, the more the people hated Jin Lifu and looked forward to the new master.

He shouted: "The people rest assured, none of the traitors and thieves on this stage today can escape!" ”

Then General Li pointed at Zhuo Changdong and said: "This person is Ming Zhuo Changdong, betrayed his nature, and secretly communicated with Concubine Lan. Although they did not harm the old eunuch, these people set up an ambush on the day of the Lantern Festival and caused a great disturbance, injuring twenty-three people and killing a full seventy people. ”

General Li's words were actually a bit evasive, if Qing'an hadn't arranged this ambush earlier, Zhuo Changdong would not have found a chance. The innocent people injured were indeed just ordinary people, but among the seventy people who died, twenty or thirty of them were Yu Chong's people. But the people didn't care, they only knew that innocent relatives and friends were indeed killed and injured inside.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

……

The people's cries were higher and higher, and everyone was eager to fly out two knives in their eyes, directly chopping Zhuo Changdong alive.

Qing'an on the altar clenched his fists, his temples on both sides jumped suddenly, if he didn't have to care about his identity, he would definitely go down and slash Jin Lifu with his own hands!

General Li walked up to Jin Lifu and snorted disdainfully: "Jin Lifu, the former protector general, plotted to kill the former prince, killed his own sister the crown princess, and sought power to usurp the throne. During this period, he sold the treasures in the palace with a group of lackeys, and also did the business of killing people and stealing goods......"

Speaking of which, General Li couldn't bear it. The dignified king of a country actually committed the act of banditry, which is simply a loss of face for the country of Li!

"Jin Lifu formed a party with unscrupulous people in neighboring countries for personal gain, intending to deceive the people of Li State, but in fact he set himself on fire and wanted to trap the people of Li State in injustice. In order to keep the throne that is not justified, this person wants to exchange three cities at the border for his own interests, which is simply shameful! ”

When General Li said the last four words, he was already trembling with anger. Although he was already old, he was also a strong and undefeated Yipin general when he was young, and he kicked it hard, directly kicking Jin Lifu to spit out a mouthful of blood, and rolled the whites of his eyes.

He threw the scroll in his hand, clenched his fists and asked Qing'an on the altar for his life: "Your Majesty, you failed to keep the crown prince and the crown princess back then, and the old minister is guilty!" Today, the old minister implores the emperor to let me kill this dog thief with my own hands! ”

Qing'an stared at his subjects coldly and arrogantly, his eyes changing in an instant. He returned his gaze to General Lee, "That's right." ”

General Li pulled out the sword at his waist, and his movements carried the terrifying killing aura on the battlefield, and he did not look old at all. Suddenly, Jin Lifu, who breathed a sigh of relief, smiled suspiciously. General Li raised his eyebrows and pointed angrily, "Dog thief, what are you laughing at?" ”

Jin Lifu tried hard to support himself, but he could only lie on the ground in defeat. He turned his head to look at Qing'an on a high place, and shouted in a dumb voice: "Do you think you can sit firmly on the throne?" Qing'an, you are just a dog by Yu Chong's side, and you are nothing without Yu Chong. You wait and see, you wait and see! ”

Qing An's anger tore his entire face a little hideous, but it was only for a moment, and he perfectly concealed these emotions, just a cold face, majestic and awe-inspiring.

"Kill."

General Li received the order, the sword in his hand was like a long knife, the sword in his hand fell, a red blood gushed out, and Jin Lifu's head had already rolled to the side. General Li threw away his sword and ordered the executioners who had been waiting for a long time, and the scene was bloody, but it was quick to understand.

Tong Yuqing pulled down Yu Chong's hand covering her eyes, and she couldn't deliberately look over there and already smell a strong smell of blood. She seemed to have returned to the scene when the Chen family was beheaded when she was a child, her face turned pale in an instant, and her whole body trembled. Yu Chong poured her into his arms tightly, leaning close to her ear and calling her name over and over again.

"Blame me, why did I bring you to see this."

He hugged Tong Yuqing and was about to retreat, but the footsteps that were about to squeeze out suddenly stopped suddenly.

"I heard that today's ceremony and the princess will be crowned as a concubine, this palace wants to ask the lord of the Li country, where is my most beloved sister Ling'er?"

Everyone looked at the same place in shock, only to see Cheng Zirui walking out with a cold face, looking at Qing'an meaningfully.

He Lei's eyebrows jumped, they took every precaution, but they didn't expect that the place where Cheng Zirui was going to start was not here at all!

The ceremony has ended, and Qing'an walked down from the altar step by step. Cheng Zirui couldn't wait for Qing'an to do this, and continued to question aggressively: "The lord of the country has already issued an edict but he has not seen the ...... with the pro-lord of the country" Cheng Zirui's tone plummeted, "Could it be that you are dissatisfied with my great chong, or are you dissatisfied with me, the prince of great chong, so you brutally killed the poor sister who left her hometown and came from the palace?" ”

Dozens of steps of stairs should have taken a long time to come down. Ke Qing'an was in a hurry, and his steps were a little faster, but his movements were still calm and elegant. He Lei climbed directly to the last few steps and whispered back to Qing'an with the news that had just come from the palace.

Qing'an's face changed drastically, and he even wanted to open his mouth and tell He Lei to find someone to pretend to be Princess Ling again. But people have already been on the road once, and they will never be fooled again this time. He turned his head and asked He Lei, "Have you informed Master Su?" ”

He Lei bowed, "I've already called someone to pass the word, but this time, it's not like I'll be able to bring Master Su's method back in such a short time." ”

Qing'an thought for a while, and there was already a discussion of hundreds of officials and people in his ears. Qing'an walked forward with his sleeves and looked directly at Cheng Zirui.

"Your Highness's speculation is too ridiculous, the princess accidentally had a miscarriage three days ago, and I only went to see her when I came. When her body was weak, I also promised that no matter whether she came to the ceremony or not, she would be the first concubine in my harem, and her status would be respected. ”

Cheng Zirui snorted coldly and accentuated his tone. "Bengu doesn't care about this, Bengu is going to see her standing here now!"
