Chapter 669: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne

The next day, early in the morning, Xia Yinhuan couldn't fall asleep early in the morning, and she never closed her eyes peacefully all night, and she always felt that sleeping on the bed in the desert palace was itchy all over her body, and no place was comfortable.

Even if she is occasionally confused, her dreams are full of ghosts, sometimes those concubines who have persecuted her, and sometimes she is an old man who has passed away for many years.

They dunkled in her dreams, waking her up with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

The light of dawn pierced the darkness, the sky revealed a blue color, and there were many birds on the branches outside the hall and among the vines of wisteria, standing on a high place and chattering non-stop.

A bird with white eyes and black feathers, Xia Yinhuan didn't know what the name of this bird was, so he stood on the platform and looked at the bird.

Suddenly, a gong and drum sounded in the sky, and the sparrows among the vines flapped their wings and disappeared into the sky as if frightened.

Xia Yinhuan was also startled, her voice was very close, as if someone had struck a gong and drum in front of her, and the sound of a horn carried a heavy sadness.

Could it be the funeral of the desert emperor?

Xia Yinhuan quickly shook his head after thinking about it, when he saw Ouyang Chen in the Buddha Pavilion last night, he was kneeling in front of the tablet and burning paper money, which means that the Emperor of the Great Desert had already been buried before they came, otherwise the coffin should be enshrined in the mourning hall instead of the tablet.

So what should it do?

The voice came continuously, and at this time, the person behind her slowly opened his mouth and said, "It should be the enthronement!" ”

His voice was very light, and he said it in the gap between the gongs and drums, with a lazy texture, Xia Yinhuan looked back and saw the man leaning against the head of the bed, his white clothes open, revealing a white and thick chest.

"Enthronement? You say Ouyang Chen? Xia Yinhuan's eyes were wide open, and he pointed to the direction of the proposed government hall and asked.

Cang Rinchen supported his forehead with one hand, his phoenix eyes were slightly half-open, the green silk flowed down like a waterfall, looking extremely charming, and his thin lips moved slightly and only spit out a syllable: "Hmm." ”

Xia Yinhuan didn't have the heart to appreciate his charm and uninhibitedness, and at this time he hurriedly pushed the door out, Ouyang Chen ascended the throne so quickly, and they hadn't been able to find the whereabouts of Concubine Yu.

If he ascends the throne and really has the heart to join forces with Concubine Yu to attack Yasukuni, wouldn't it be a catastrophe!

"Don't go, it's useless for you to go." Cang Rinchen hurriedly called out to her, at this time, the new emperor ascended the throne, the ceremony was cumbersome, it was conceivable that there were no less than 10,000 guards outside the proposed government hall, even if Xia Yinhuan went, even Ouyang Chen's body would definitely be stopped by the guards.

"Then what should I do, if you go, Ouyang Chen will be too late to ascend the throne......" Xia Yinhuan was anxious, but after being stopped by Cang Rinchen, he never moved forward.

Although Ouyang Chen's ascension to the throne was already a sure thing, Xia Yinhuan hoped that it would be delayed for some time, at least let them find Concubine Yu, and at least figure out Ouyang Chen's intentions.

Now if he becomes the emperor of the desert, it is very likely that he will immediately be subordinate, and the power is so great that it is easy to kill the two of them.

"It's useless to say anything, it's better to rub everyone's eyes on the enthronement ceremony now, and you and I take the opportunity to mix in the palace to find the concubine." Cang Linchen was unusually calm, sat up from the bed as he spoke, put on shoes and socks on the edge of the bed, and took the robe and draped it over his shoulders.

Xia Yinhuan's eyebrows were tied into a dead knot, weighing the two or three felt that what Cang Rinchen said was reasonable, and he had to do it for the sake of today, if he didn't take advantage of this gap to find Concubine Yu, maybe he would never see him again in the future.

Cang Linchen put on his robe unhurriedly, and then opened the door from the inside out, the little eunuch didn't know whether he was called away by Ouyang Chen, or if he wanted to witness the grand occasion of the new emperor's accession to the throne, he had long since disappeared.

But Cang Linchen did not relax his vigilance, took a deep breath and stretched his arms at the door, turned around and whispered to Xia Yinhuan: "Let's go to the outside of the proposed government hall together, I stay, you take the opportunity to blend into the palace, only give you two hours, whether you find it or not, you must return to the side hall." ”

Cang Linchen said with a plan and purpose, and regardless of whether Xia Yinhuan agreed or not, he strode towards the proposed government hall, he knew very well that once he appeared at the scene of the new emperor's accession to the throne as the monarch of Yasukuni, he would not be able to get out.

Moreover, there must be secret guards outside this side hall who are secretly observing the two of them, only when he is at the scene of the enthronement of the proposed government hall, most of those people's eyes will be focused on him.

He just needs to attract attention, create an opportunity for Xia Yinhuan, and let her find it.

Although it is very dangerous, this is also the only chance, if they don't find Concubine Yu, Ouyang Chen will face an irresistible danger when he ascends the throne.

The two of them walked towards the Proposed Government Hall one after the other, and no one said a word on the way, Xia Yinhuan used his afterglow to observe the surrounding scene as he walked.

It wasn't until she walked out of the west side hall that she clearly saw the mandala flowers in the flower garden swaying, but there was no breeze at that time.

She dared to conclude that Cang Linchen's guess was not wrong, and there were indeed secret guards in the west side hall of this proposed government hall who were observing their movements at all times.

Fortunately, she was not reckless, fortunately, she listened to Cang Linchen's words.

When the two arrived outside the proposed government hall, it could be seen that the officials of the desert knelt on the red carpet for a long time, orderly, all bowing their heads and ears, and their expressions were respectful.

On the high platform, Ouyang Chen, dressed in a dragon robe, stood in the center, looking down at the bureaucrats and guards, looking at his expression from a distance, only listening to the sharp voice of the eunuch reaching his ears.

"Fengtian carrier, the edict of the first emperor, the prince Chenwen Taowu strategy, benevolence and filial piety, loyalty and righteousness, so after my death, I was appointed as the monarch of the country......"

The edict is very long, the eunuch's voice is loud, and the edict is read word for word, the enthronement ceremony is cumbersome, the first is the crown, then the sacrifice to the sky, and then the acceptance of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military worship.

Cang Linchen also came over like this at the beginning, and when he saw such a situation, he couldn't help but think of the beginning, in a blink of an eye, time flies, and he has been on the throne for a long time.

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he wanted to make Yasukuni prosperous and strong.

But after so long, he deeply understood that it is so easy for a country to govern properly, and how can it be so easy to live and work in peace and contentment at the dawn of the world.

Yasukuni went through several ups and downs in his hands, and he almost lost the country, and a seven-foot man almost cried for a while.

Squinting his eyes, he saw that the eunuch held the crown on his head, and the old minister on the side read out the oracle of the first emperor in the world, and said something to crown the crown and put it on the top of Ouyang Chen's head.

That look, just like the way he was at the beginning, makes people nostalgic.

He was a little distracted, and subconsciously wanted to turn around to take Xia Yinhuan's hand, but reached behind his back only to find that the person was no longer there, only to find that there were only a few palace people waiting respectfully behind him, and there was no shadow of Xia Yinhuan.

She should have gone to find the trace of Concubine Yu according to the plan, Cang Linchen thought so, and suddenly the minister on the high platform spoke: "Today, Long Live Yasukuni sent me to the desert, it is better to preside over it, and it is considered a courtesy to hand over the dragon scale sword given by the first emperor to the new emperor!" ”

Cang Rinchen was pulled back to his thoughts by his words, and only then did he realize that the desert had no military officials, or Gong'e servants or guards, all looked at him, and even Ouyang Chen, who had just put on his crown on the steps.

Obviously, all this was discussed by them a long time ago, Ouyang Chen also had a hunch before this, he signed a peace agreement with Da Mo, and now it is coming when the new emperor ascends the throne, this kind of ritual of sacrificing to the sky will definitely not leave him.

"I wonder if the Lord can come forward?" Seeing that he didn't move, the white-haired old officer opened his mouth and asked again.

"Of course, it is fate that I can preside over the enthronement ceremony for the new emperor, and since I have come, I will definitely give it up." Cang Linchen said lightly, smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth, and took a step from the kneeling column of the hundred officials to the steps.

Although he couldn't guess the intentions of this white-haired old official, he was already on the scene, even if they had bad intentions.

His heart was heavy as if he had been filled with lead, but his feet were steady step by step, like walking on the breeze, and he approached Ouyang Chen on the high platform step by step.

Under the gaze of the desert officials, he stood in front of Ouyang Chen for a short time, Ouyang Chen faced him, did not smile, did not speak, and was as wooden as yesterday, like a marionette.

"Come, Long Live Lord, please hand over this dragon scale sword to the new emperor, and then hold a ceremony to worship the sky." The white-haired old minister presented the sword in his hand in front of Cang Rinchen, and there was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

When Cang Linchen took the sword, he already understood their intentions in his heart, because the sword delivered by this Licheng did not have a scabbard.

**Naked long sword, the long sword is cast with unknown things, weighs ten catties, the blade is sharp and has the feeling of sharpening iron like clay, and the sword body is carved with two dragons, implying double dragons playing with pearls.

Since this sword does not have a scabbard, it is easy to kill people, and it is still a person like Cang Linchen who is good at martial arts.

They wanted to use this sword to test Cang Linchen, if he wanted to be unfavorable to Ouyang Chen, then he could slash Ouyang Chen under the sword effortlessly.

Knowing their intentions well, Cang Lingchen did not move, holding the sword in both hands, and handed the sword over, and his voice was cold and heard the inconsequential words: "The heaven-given sword, following the last wish of the first emperor, the sword swings in all directions." ”

Between the words, he lowered his eyes slightly and could see that although Ouyang Chen was wearing a dragon robe, there were some uneven things between his chest, which were worn in the dragon robe.

Cang Rinchen sneered in his heart, he was not a fool, it could be seen that Ouyang Chen was clearly wearing golden silk soft armor, even if he really had the heart to kill Ouyang Chen, the sword would not be able to pierce his chest at all.

If he really stabbed him with a sword, he would be cut down in the moment.

"Your Majesty." Ouyang Chen knelt on one knee, his hand was above his head, and he took the dragon scale sword in Cang Rinchen's hand in his hand, his eyelids couldn't help jumping, but he didn't say anything else and didn't look too much.

This scene looks harmonious and calm, who can know that behind the seemingly calm and calm is actually a hidden murderous motive, calculating everywhere.

Not to mention that Cang Linchen didn't want to kill Ouyang Chen at all, even if he wanted to kill Ouyang Chen, he wouldn't be stupid enough to do it in front of so many people.

Taking the sword is considered a ceremony, and the short-term sword drawing and crossbow tension ended in the smile of the white-haired old official, and the next thing is to sacrifice to the sky, Cang Linchen just stood aside and stood quietly, and he didn't need to interfere at all.

Although the desert has followed the customs and customs of Yasukuni, there are many differences between worshipping heaven and Yasukuni, and Yasukuni worships heaven with cooked food, whether it is chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep, all are dead things.

But the desert is to sacrifice to the sky with living beings, this is the rule of their ancestors after the feast, watching the blood of those beasts soaked in the water of the altar, dyeing all the water bright red, even the people who are used to seeing life and death frown.
