Chapter 478: Nine Heavens Mourning
The mourning is low, the black gauze is lined up, and the white flowers are blooming. In the picture, a huge black and white photo with black gauze suddenly flashed, and the smiling face full of melancholy that appeared on TV many times slowly appeared in the TV screen, and a series of achievements and evaluations that no one knew whether they were true or false were recited over and over again in the announcer's mouth, and the voice was full of sadness.
"It's the Emperor!" Ling Yu looked at the TV in surprise, this figure who had ruled the Nine Heavens Group for more than 40 years, was surrounded by countless legends, and lost the most cities in history, making the Nine Heavens Empire go from prosperity to decline.
"Yes, the Emperor." Ge Zhiping said solemnly.
There was silence all at once, and no one said a word.
Ling Yu turned his gaze to the TV again. Zhu Long's mourning hall was set up in the meeting hall of the Nine Heavens Empire, and a young man wearing heavy filial piety knelt in front of the statue of Zhu Long and whimpered. ----That's Zhu Huanjin, Ling Yu has seen it many times on TV, he is the world's largest gentleman, he lost 100 million in a horse race gamble, he just sneezed and walked away casually.
Another black-clothed man beside Zhu Huanjin who knelt more respectfully than him was Jia Fengzhen, the prime minister of the Nine Heavens Empire, and the work coordination between the various departments of the prime minister was in fact the first person in the Nine Heavens Empire, and he was one of the most trusted ministers of Zhu Long during his lifetime. At this time on TV, he slowly turned a dark old face, his thin face was like a deflated aluminum basin, and an imperceptible sinister smile swept across his face.
Behind him were countless important ministers of various departments who knelt on the ground and bowed their backs high. They were dressed in black and bowed three times and nine buttons to the statue of Zhu Long. But with Zhu Long's old age, the emperor did not use the most suitable talents, Jia Fengzhen's power gradually infiltrated, and after suppressing several dissident ministers, he gradually formed a monopoly situation in the court, and then he used the war with the Xianluo people as an excuse to eradicate the dissidents in the army led by Lei Tiancheng, and handed over the military power to his nephew Sheng Lin.
On the square outside the hall, there is a field of filial piety personnel dressed in black and white flowers, there are tens of thousands of people, they are palace guards, attendants and concubines. They all had exaggerated expressions, sad expressions, tears flowing, and they all fell to their knees, crying and whimpering, shaking the heavens and the earth.
For Zhu Long, the mood of the people sitting here is very (56 library complicated, on the one hand, his governance is unfavorable, the power of the ministers is in power, he constantly loses the land, and the people suffer, on the other hand, everyone knows that once this person dies, the world will be in chaos.
"Everyone, put down the work in hand, let's go to the town government to see Brother Qingfeng."
Zhu Xingyun and Zhu Caiyun, brother and sister, kowtowed to the photo of Emperor Zhu Long. The brother and sister, whose faces were already full of tears, were so lonely and helpless at this time.
Luo Tiefeng and Lei Mingqian supported the two of them one after the other, and slowly stood up. Zhu Xingyun wiped a handful of tears and slowly sat on the sofa beside him. sighed and muttered, "Although I expected it, I still couldn't help it...... Father is so confused, since I was born until now, I have only seen a limited number of sides of him. He made me a stranger. ”
Luo Tiefeng stepped forward and asked, "Xingyun, do you want to set up a memorial hall?" Maybe someone will come in a moment. ”
Zhu Xingyun shook his head: "There is no need to make a big deal about this, my father's status in everyone's minds is not high, plus Anping Town has just stabilized after the catastrophe of the beast tide, the lower the tone of this matter, the better." Just put on a photo. ”
Luo Tiefeng nodded. He found a two-meter-long black gauze and wrapped it around the photo. In the middle of the top of the frame, a white paper flower is inserted, and a few fruits are placed below, and then kowtow.
At this moment, Ling Yu led the crowd to the hall, and then Yao Rongbo, Ge Zhiping, Zhang Chenglie and others from the Tomorrow Group also walked into the hall one after another.
One by one, everyone bowed to the photo.
……
The imperial capital is ancient.
The white flowers are like the sea, and the black yarn is like the tide. On this day, all entertainment venues and business establishments are closed. All Imperial flags were lowered in half in mourning. With Xiao Xiao's autumn rain, the streets and alleys of the entire imperial capital are full of low mourning, wreaths like the sea everywhere, black veils hanging everywhere, and surging mourning crowds everywhere, all of which were personally arranged by Jia Fengzhen, such a grand national funeral was the first time in the history of the Nine Heavens Empire. It shows the love of Jia Fengzhen, a powerful minister of a generation, for His Majesty the Emperor and his loyalty to the Nine Heavens Empire.
At the same time, in the Nine Heavens Empire Government Council Hall in Gufeng City, another celebratory ceremony was being prepared intensely, which was the preparatory meeting for the new emperor enthronement of Zhu Huanjin, the second son of Zhu Long. In addition to Jia Fengzhen, there were Sheng Lin and the captains of the National Protector Army, the captains of the palace guards, and the important ministers of the imperial court. In order to show his fairness and generosity, he also intended to invite Lei Tiancheng to come. In his opinion, the phoenix that has lost its hair is not as good as a chicken, Lei Tiancheng can't make big waves, and it would be best if he cooperated with himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our beloved Emperor His Majesty has passed away, and we are all deeply saddened." The person who spoke was none other than the respectful Jia Bongzhen on TV just now. "Your Majesty's will, we must keep in mind, however, the Nine Heavens Empire cannot be without a helmsman for a day, according to His Majesty's last wishes, he will pass the throne of the Nine Heavens Empire to his second son Zhu Huanjin, we firmly support it. ……”
"Hmph, you want to control the government yourself, right?" His voice was interrupted by a deep and cold voice, and the speaker was none other than the former Imperial Marshal Lei Tiancheng.
Jia Fengzhen was stunned, and he felt annoyed. However, he was also prepared, if Lei Tiancheng insisted on getting into trouble with himself, then he would take the opportunity to take it.
"I want to ask Lei Lao what this means?" Jia Bongzhen turned his face away, with an innocent expression, but his gaze was aggressive.
"What do you mean? I have doubts about the last order of the first emperor announced by you, my dynasty already has a crown prince, and the first emperor has not issued an edict to depose him, how can there be a second son to succeed to the throne? Lei Tiancheng's words were cold, and he didn't leave Jia Fengzhen with any affection.
The color on Jia Fengzhen's face was blue and white for a while, and he suddenly felt that he was humiliating himself by inviting Lei Tiancheng to come, but he had long been ready to use Lei Tiancheng to kill chickens and monkeys and give the ministers a disadvantage. He wanted the effect of fighting back after being humiliated.
He stood up slowly: "Lei Tiancheng, I respect you for being an old minister, and now that Your Majesty's bones are not cold, you just came out to obstruct the new emperor from inheriting the throne?" In this case, let's talk about it, you know about the prince's escape overnight, he wants to wait to inherit the throne, why did he choose to flee despite His Majesty's poor health? He clearly wanted to assassinate His Majesty and seize the throne, so he fled without a tunnel! With him is your son Lei Mingqian! ”
"You, you fart!" Lei Tiancheng was furious and stood up: "I, Lei Tiancheng, have served Your Majesty for nearly forty years, and I am ashamed to be an official in the same dynasty as you!" He shouted: "The first emperor is slow, the old minister is here to accompany you!" After he finished speaking, he burst into tears, and hit his head on the stone pillar beside him, blood flowed all over the ground, and he didn't know who was going to die.
Zhu Huanjin, who was sitting directly above, screamed in surprise, then waved his hand impatiently, and two paramedics rushed in and carried him out. He stood up and said coldly: "I hate selling the old with the old the most, holding on to my own credit to the Jiutian Group, and constantly coercing!" Won't your credit be repaid with the entire empire?! ”
Jia Fengzhen shouted and reprimanded: "Your Majesty is the first time to ascend to the great treasure today, if anyone has any doubts, he will not be spared!" His eyes were bright, and he suddenly turned around and bowed to Zhu Huanjin opposite: "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”
The group behind him immediately got up and fell to their knees.
Zhu Huanjin grinned and stood up with a laugh: "Okay! Everyone, get up! The old man is dead, this family should naturally be my master, I hope you will help me to make a big difference from now on! ”
Jia Fengzhen, who was kneeling at the front, flashed a cold light in his eyes.
The crowd dispersed. Zhu Huanjin sat motionless, he put a pair of slender pale hands, deeply inserted into his spotless hair, and slowly raised his head when only he and Jia Fengzhen were left in the conference room.
Jia Fengzhen only owed to Zhu Huanjin: "Your Majesty, this matter has been completed, and I hope Your Majesty will know about it." ”
Zhu Huanjin laughed, he knocked on the table and stood up: "Uncle Jia is too worried, you are also a person who broke through the big rivers and waves, and a few little loaches can still turn the sky?" Let's bury the old man first. ”
