"Huh!" Sikong Rong sneered, turned to the counselor, and sneered and asked, "The emperor asked this king to perform the ancestor worship ceremony on his behalf, and this king wore the five-clawed golden dragon sacrifice dress for the emperor, and did his filial piety for the ancestors, why not?" ”

"Sikong Rong, you are mourning-" Before the official could speak, he was gagged and dragged down by Sikong Rui.

"Ministers", Sikong Rong paused for a moment, and his eagle eyes swept across the silent civil and military officials, and asked, "Who still has objections?" ”

The ministers lowered their eyebrows and trembled, and for a while they were silent, only the whistling of the cold wind was heard.

Sikong Rong glanced at everyone, snorted coldly, and glanced at Tang Ning. Tang Ning bowed and retreated, and after a while, Taichang Siqing came out with a sacrificial jade plaque and announced loudly: "Calm the gods over!" "From the top of the mountain, trumpets and drums began to sound.

In the noise of gongs and drums, two attendants held a golden basin, and another knelt to serve a towel, asking Sikong Rong to stretch out his hands and wash and dry in the golden basin; The Ming ghost held the staff, and guided the way with words in his mouth, Sikong Rong led the civil and military officials, followed closely, knelt all the way from the foot of the mountain, entered from the gate of the temple at the foot of the mountain, and climbed to the altar on the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain in the north, the open dome extends down to the five-layer altar, sacrificing three animals, chariots, horses and jade in turn, and hundreds of civil and military officials display all directions. Sikong Rong stood in the middle of the mountaintop, looking at the huge pomp and courtiers in all directions, waving his sleeves in the bleak and cold wind, kneeling in front of the tablet of the ancestors' tombs, listening to the ghosts close their eyes and open their mouths, and chant the words of the gods.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed in front of the Holy Taizu Mausoleum, and the Ming Ghost suddenly opened his eyes, with a hoarse voice, waved the magic battle and pointed at Sikong Rong, ordering: "Sikong Rong, I order you to enter the West Palace as soon as possible, ascend to the throne of God, protect the country for the Sikong family, and maintain the community, the ancestors and the ancestors will bless you!" Otherwise, if he meets under the Yellow Spring, I will not recognize you! ”

"Holy Taizu ......" Sikong Rong hurriedly knelt on the ground and humbly spoke, "Grandson is terrified......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The Ming ghost snorted, "Quickly catch the emperor's seal!" ”

"Whoosh-" An arc of golden light flashed from the cuffs of the Ming Ghost and fell straight into the hands of Sikong Rui, who was guarding beside him; Sikong Rui was stunned for a moment, and immediately took out a jade seal from his cuff, held it in the palm of his hand, and knelt in front of Sikong Rong to persuade: "Holy Ancestor has appeared and ordered you to be the emperor today, I see ...... The prince should stop refusing and let down the hard work of the ancestors and ancestors. ”

"But ......" Sikong Rong pretended to hesitate, and Mu Yu had already pulled Mu Wanzhen to kneel beside Sikong Rong.

"My Emperor...... Congratulations to the emperor on his accession to the throne! Mu Wanzhen bit her lip and struggled to speak loudly.

Among the hundreds of officials, the eunuchs in the blue and black official uniforms, the veil hat on their heads, the bewitching figures, and the fox-eyed and slanted eyebrows also took the lead in kneeling and bowing, kowtowing and shouting: "The emperor's accession to the throne is auspicious from the sky, the ancestors descended, Gonglu congratulates the emperor on his accession to the throne!" ”

Mu Chongtao...... Congratulations on my emperor's long life! The thin Confucian officials with goatees and goatees beside him followed him and bowed their heads.

Seeing this, Tang Ning gritted his teeth, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Tang Ning congratulates my emperor on his long life." ”

"Congratulations on my emperor's long life!" Among the hundreds of officials, there is an endless stream of people bowing their heads.

Sikong Rong swept the civil and military officials kneeling at his feet with cold eyes, listened to the sound of trumpets and drums, the sound of the mountains and tsunamis, and took in the Luoyang rivers and mountains from the top of the Beipi Mountain, and finally, laughed loudly, waved his sleeves, and announced loudly: "Since the Holy Ancestor has an order, I can't help but disobey the order!" From now on, I will guard the society for my ancestors and ancestors, respect Emperor Hui in the palace as the emperor, and swear to support him until his 100th year. Today, I will grant amnesty to the world, and all benevolent and wise people will be happy to accommodate it! ”

"My Emperor Shengming!" The compliments of the mountain and the tsunami came from the civil and military officials, and resounded throughout the Beibi Mountain.

A young man wearing a black crown hat and a blue and black court uniform rushed out of the hundred officials and shouted: "Sikong Rong! You are arrogant and emperor! Blasphemy of ancestors! Filthy harem! Cruelty to Zhongliang! Heaven does not allow it! ”

"Someone!" Sikong Rong's eagle eyes were sharp, and he turned to Sikong Rui angrily.

Sikong Rui waved his hand, and the Praetorian Guards immediately cooperated with the garrison camp and dragged the young man out of the altar; Mu Mo raised his eyes and saw the young man struggling with a red face when he was gagged with a white scarf, and was slightly taken aback, and he already recognized it: It turned out to be Shi Shao!

"Sacrifice!" The Ming ghost returned to normal, waved the magic battle, and shouted.

The eunuch attendants carried the sacrificial three animals, chariots, horses and jade, and placed them in front of the ancestors and ancestors in turn, the Ming ghost drove the lead away, the temple rang the bell, and Sikong Rong took the civil and military officials to follow the law and drove the mountain from the altar according to the steps.

At the foot of the mountain, Sikong Rui suddenly glanced at the sky and asked: "Your Majesty, it is not early today, if you are in a hurry to rush back to the palace, I am afraid that it will be late at night, the moon on the road is dark and the wind is high, I am afraid that the villains will be given a chance; Why don't you stay at the palace for one night and then go back to the palace? ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Rui is right", the Ming ghost echoed and looked at the sky, "Today...... It's not advisable to go back to the palace! ”

"Really?" Sikong Rong's face turned pale, he thought for a moment, and immediately agreed.

The group of people entered the palace at the foot of the mountain, Mu Wanzhen shyly bowed to Sikong Rongfu and asked: "The emperor is tired all day today, not tonight...... Let the concubine beat your back for you, soothe and soothe your muscles and bones, right? ”

"Oh?" Sikong Rong looked at Mu Wanzhen in surprise and squinted slightly, "When will you ...... Becoming so proactive? ”

"Your Majesty ......" Mu Wanzhen screamed in disgust, blushed slightly, don't start, and whispered, "Concubine...... After all, the queen who was the emperor took care of the palace rules and etiquette...... You can't let the emperor and his concubines fall into the hands of others......"

Mu Wanzhen paused, and shyly wrapped her clothes and shyly: "Now...... Different ......"

"Huh!" Sikong Rong sneered, "You have a little eyesight!" ”

After that, he waved his sleeves and went to the dormitory.

Mu Wanzhen was stunned for a moment, and turned to Mu Yu blankly; Mu Yu's eyes signaled Mu Wanzhen not to panic, and also escorted her back to the dormitory prepared by the palace to rest. Mu Wanzhen pinched Mu Yu's palm, her voice tightened, and asked, "He...... Will it come? ”

"Don't worry, mother." Mu Mo held Mu Wanzhen's sweaty palm and persuaded him, "Today, the Mu family has done so much for Sikong Rong to be the emperor, even if he has concerns in his heart, he will not sell your affection." ”

"Hmm......" Mu Wanzhen was stunned, and her face was still pale.

"Mother?" A maid came in from the door with a set of change of clothes, her skin was fair, her cheeks were slightly round, her big eyes were clear and transparent, and she quietly glanced in the direction of Mu Yu, and quietly put down the change of clothes.

Mu Mo looked at the maidservant and found that it was the incense car, so he whispered a few words to Mu Wanzhen and followed the incense car out.

The two turned to a secluded place next to the lotus pond under the covered bridge, and Mu Yu asked in a low voice: "How is the situation now?" ”

Xiangche looked around and told in a low voice: "Lord Rui has left some reliable cronies in the palace to secretly protect Emperor Hui, and other soldiers and horses have been arranged inside and outside the palace; Prince Jue quietly returned to the garrison camp and led his troops to control the various gates of Luoyang to prevent Sikong Rong Yuzhou Army from coming; Calling the emperor today, Sikong Rong was afraid of a mistake, although he arranged for Prince Rui and Prince Jue to take the forbidden army to guard, and let Prince Huang and Lu Zhen contain each other in the palace and imprison Emperor Hui, and let Prince Cong cooperate outside Luoyang City to block the threat of various clans, but he was not worried about outsiders, and quietly dispatched his Yuzhou army to outside Luoyang City a few days ago in case of accidents. ”

"Sikong Cong...... What's the situation? Mu Mo thought of Sikong Cong's cunning behavior of making an alliance with Sikong Rong and Sikong Huang before leaving Kyoto, as well as his usual ruthlessness and viciousness, he was a little unsure of his mind and was afraid of changes.

Xiangche snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, Sikong Cong doesn't want Sikong Rong to stay on the throne for a long time." ”

"Okay...... Mu Mo gritted his teeth, "It's time to get started!" ”
