Chapter 867: Your Enemy 2
Cui Haoran publicly announced that he had betrayed the emperor the day after Xiao Yu left Beijing, and issued a decree that he would hold an enthronement ceremony in front of the Qiankun Palace a few days later.
However, Cui Haoran did not become the emperor as he wished.
First of all, the great Confucianism in Beijing, the Qingliu family led by Xing and Yan openly stood up against Cui Haoran's accession to the throne, and articles crusading against Cui Haoran were posted everywhere in Beijing. The Gu family, a powerful family in the army, was the second group to oppose Cui Haoran's ascension to the throne.
Gu Yannian reprimanded Cui Haoran for being unkind and unjust, and colluded with the deputy general Wang to stab him in order to control the Vermilion Bird Battalion.
Cui Haoran ordered these people to be arrested, but there was no way to arrest them at all, and overnight, the houses of the ministers of the criminal family, the Gu family, and other ministers were empty, and there was not even a living thing, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
What made the situation even more out of control was that on the eve of Cui Haoran's accession to the throne, Wang Meng was beheaded and his head hung at the palace gate......
There is no more direct slap in the face and sarcasm than this. At this moment, no matter how much the officials of the Cui Party deceive themselves and comfort themselves, they can't be optimistic. Their masters are finished, and so are they.
From the dragon's merit, everyone wants it, but not everyone has such a life to take this credit. Most of the soldiers in the Vermilion Bird Battalion entered the capital in a daze, and as soon as Wang Meng died, he lost his backbone, and under the leadership of Gu Yannian and Gu Li, the Vermilion Bird Camp rebelled again.
And this time, it's Cui Haoran.
The city gate of Liangzhou City is closed, the soldiers and horses of King Xin outside the city besiege the city and do not attack, the two forces of Vermilion Bird and White Tiger in the city confront each other, and the people in the city are panicked, and every family closes the door and never goes out.
But overnight, the White Tiger Army couldn't hold on, and on the morning of Cui Haoran's accession to the throne, he opened the city gate and welcomed King Xiao Ke in.
When the four battalions entered the palace, Cui Haoran was sitting on the dragon chair in a daze. The palace was huge, with only a few minions standing sparsely below. As for his courtiers, after knowing Wang Meng's death, they had already seen the situation clearly and voted with their feet.
These minions will stay here, and just like him, it's not that they don't want to leave, but they can't leave.
He will ascend the throne, and they will wait for him to ascend the throne and watch him and not let him escape. Cui Ran waved his hand and called everyone back, but the palace people below were unmoved.
"Let's go, let's go......," Cui Haoran sighed and simply closed his eyes.
The chair under him is the high position he has dreamed of for a lifetime.
However, when he sat on it, he did not feel the joy he imagined, but felt extremely lost, and that sense of loss surged up from his chest and finally spread to his whole body.
Those contentions and abandonments, gains and losses, in fact, are not so important.
The sound of smashing and shouting came from a long distance, getting louder and louder, and then gradually becoming clear and clear. Cui Haoran felt that at this time, he should think back on this life, but his mind was blank and he couldn't remember anything.
At this time, a small eunuch ran in.
"Your Majesty, the army has come in......"
Cui Haoran raised his eyes, he was a teenage eunuch, with a dark face and a little immaturity at this age.
Cui Haoran didn't speak, he closed his eyes again, and the palace people in the hall were even more like they didn't see this person.
The little eunuch walked up to Cui Haoran, and his breathing was a little short of breath because of nervousness.
The unfamiliar breath approached him, and Cui Haoran opened his eyes again.
