Chapter 27: The Great Canon

Today is a good day, it can only be said that it is worthy of the handiwork of the royal family, the entire vast city is full of lights, and everywhere is filled with a festive atmosphere.

The enthronement ceremony will start at noon, and the important people of the northern kingdom have gathered outside the Golden Dragon Hall early, they can't enter, and they must wait until the crown prince enters the main hall after the enthronement ceremony, and these courtiers are allowed to enter.

As the lord of Snowy City, the king had to come here for the so-called enthronement ceremony, even if he had no interest in it.

Outside the Golden Dragon Palace, each of the lords and important ministers of the Northern Kingdom had their own place, and the king should be the youngest of them.

It took nearly ten days to get from Xuelu City to the vast capital, and the ten days of travel made the king a little tired, so he just lay down in that position and fell asleep.

The other important ministers and city lords on the side were also surprised when they saw this scene, not only because of his behavior, but also because of his age, how could there be such a young city lord?

Some of the ministers tried in vain to talk to the young lord, but the king simply turned around and went back to sleep.

……

For the enthronement ceremony, Ye Lingyun only learned from the book that when the enthronement ceremony was carried out, the worshippers would shoot a burning arrow to the torch next to the dragon chair in the Golden Dragon Hall, and the torch was lit, representing the inheritance of the torch and the birth of a new generation of emperors, which was a beautiful symbol.

Ye Lingyun plans to do something here.

"Xiangyun", the top assassin "Red Makeup", put on a delicate make-up for him, he now looks like a little eunuch who can be seen everywhere, the clothes are naturally snatched, and it is not easy to find a lone eunuch in the huge palace?

Ye Lingyun got a very flammable liquid from "Xiangyun", colorless and tasteless, he put a can in a bottle and brought it to his body, the ceremony symbolizes good intentions, on the contrary, if the ritual is messed up, it is naturally a harbinger of calamity.

Gonggong Yu, the chief administrator of the palace, led a team of little eunuchs to walk in from the periphery, and Ye Lingyun mixed in the team of little eunuchs and walked with them to the outside of the Golden Dragon Hall and walked in front of the ministers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, noon has arrived, and the enthronement ceremony is about to begin." Father-in-law Yu came here to announce the news.

The courtiers in the Golden Dragon Hall began to become serious, and only the young city lord stood up and stretched.

The horn and drum play a majestic and ancient movement, and people can't help but feel a sense of surrender in their hearts.

The outer gate opened, and the graceful and luxurious sedan chair carried the prince Ye Covering the sky.

But the sedan chair stopped when it reached the nine stone pillars in front of the Golden Dragon Palace, and Ye covered the world to carry the sedan chair, and the etiquette of the enthronement ceremony required him to enter the Golden Dragon Hall step by step, and the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps must also be one step at a time.

The civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the 999 steps and watched.

While everyone's attention was focused on the crown prince, Ye Lingyun quietly slipped into the Golden Dragon Hall.

Prince Ye Covering the Sky was originally a warrior who could fight on the battlefield, and these nine hundred and ninety-nine steps were not difficult for him.

He soon arrived at the gate of the Golden Dragon Hall.

The palace chief keeper Yu Gonggong has been guarding here.

"Your Highness."

Father-in-law Yu handed over a longbow and a flaming arrow.

The prince had to stand at the door and shoot the torch next to the dragon chair, and he drew his longbow and held his breath.

Off the strings! The arrow pulled a flame and rushed towards the torch next to the dragon's chair.

Here's your chance.

Ye Lingyun had long been hiding on the top beam of the Golden Dragon Palace, and when the burning arrows flew, he poured the liquid in the bottle directly, colorless and transparent, no one noticed that there was a person on the beam, and no one noticed that the torch and the dragon chair were stuck with strange liquids.

Subsequently, the flaming arrow touched the flammable liquid.

Wow!!

Dragon Chair! The dragon chair and the surrounding objects that had been exposed to flammable liquids all burst into flames.

The mighty flames even directly submerged the dragon chair.

“!”

The ministers outside, the city lords of various cities, including the crown prince Ye Futian himself, they were all stunned.

"Don't you need to put out fires?" The first to speak was the young Lord of Snowy City.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" The palace chief keeper, Father-in-law Yu, shouted in his high-pitched voice.

The ministers panicked instantly.

"Fight the fire!"

"Get someone to carry the water."

"Hurry up and carry the water!"

Only the high-ranking officials of the imperial court and the lords of the cities in the northern kingdom were allowed to enter, and their men and attendants had to wait outside the Golden Dragon Hall, these people were all people who could only give orders, they shouted their orders, but none of them did anything.

In the end, it was Father-in-law Yu who asked many little eunuchs to bring water, how could these executives do it, so naturally these little eunuchs went in to put out the fire.

"Today's events...... No one is allowed to say it. The prince said to the civil and military officials and the city lords.

"Yes."

Ye Shutian couldn't figure it out, why did his arrow ignite the dragon chair? He watched as his arrows flew and burst into flames, and the flames burned unnaturally.

The ceremony ended in silence, but fortunately, only these people witnessed the enthronement ceremony, and the crown prince announced to the public that the enthronement ceremony was a complete success, and the imperial city was still lively.

Late at night.

There are also two little eunuchs who are arranged to clean the Golden Dragon Hall at night, and they must repair the things that have been burned by the flames tonight, which is too difficult for them, but this "difficulty" has always been like this.

"Alas, I don't know what's going on, didn't the prince's arrow shoot accurately?" The two little eunuchs were chatting.

"You said that the prince's arrow ignited the dragon chair, would it be a sign?" One of the little eunuchs asked the other.

"What signs?"

"It's just that God doesn't want him to be the emperor."

"Shh He hurriedly covered the little eunuch's mouth.

"You don't want to live, you can't talk nonsense." Indeed, if such words are heard by others, they will be directly punished by death for the crime of great treason!

Sou.

A dark shadow flashed.

"Hmm...... Hmm. The little eunuch's eyes suddenly widened.

"What are you going to say?" He let go of the hand that was covering the little eunuch's mouth.

"Yes...... Someone! Someone had just run out of the Golden Dragon Hall. The little eunuch exclaimed.

"Ahh He immediately turned around, empty.

"It's nothing."

"Outside!" The little eunuch chased after him, and the other hurried to follow.

I looked around for a while, but unfortunately, there was only night and stars outside.

"Is there really anyone?"

"I swear I saw it."

"It's not going to be hell, is it?"

"Impossible."

"Either you're too tired and hallucinating."

"Probably......" The little eunuch himself was a little suspicious, who would stay in the Golden Dragon Hall so late, maybe it was just a cat.

……

Ye Lingyun was originally waiting for the people below to disperse on the top beam of the Golden Dragon Hall, but he didn't expect that he accidentally fell asleep, and this sleep lasted until late at night.
