Chapter 248: Enthronement
On this day, the whole people got up early, up to the civil and military officials, down to the common people, and the whole country was boiling. Everyone changed into new clothes and spontaneously gathered on the street. As we all know, the new emperor will first introduce some policies that are conducive to people's livelihood when he ascends the throne, and Prince Yi is a well-known virtuous king, and his enthronement ceremony has attracted much attention.
On both sides of the pipe, the big red carpet is spread far away, and the tall horses are opening the way in front. Li Yiyan sat on the sedan chair carried by everyone, with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he looked at the past lightly, and the people all knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
Despite this, there was still a little bit of depression in his heart, because there was no her by his side at the moment. obviously said that he would sit on the country together, but Ning Yunxiao was too lazy to suffer on the grounds of guilt, and refused to ride in a carriage with Li Yiyan and parade the streets.
Li Yiyan knew in her heart that she was not afraid of trouble, but she didn't want to make trouble for herself, after all, she was just a princess, even if she was a natural queen, but she was not officially crowned, coupled with the lack of cooperation from the ministers, if she came to the street, I was afraid that she would not know how many incidents would occur. After all, there is also a Jing Xueqing hiding in the shadows.
Mo Li's injuries were more than half healed, and he wore armor and a long sword at his waist to accompany Li Yiyan, always watching the surrounding environment in case there were any hidden arrows hurting people.
Early in the morning, under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, wearing a yellow robe, laying down the ancestors and worshipping the sky, after a toss, it was already getting westward, and the busy people didn't even have time to eat.
Ning Yunxiao has been staying in the palace, and he has been sending monsoons to keep an eye on Li Yiyan's dynamics.
I don't know what Jing Xueqing thinks, this day is very peaceful, and there is no trace of trouble. Ning Yunxiao didn't believe that Jing Xue Qing was so honest, he didn't make any small moves, the day was almost over, and there was still no trace of trouble, if Jing Xue Qing woke up to the pain, he was fat, and a three-year-old child who knew the truth of the matter would not believe it, then there was only one possibility, he had already made a move, and no one knew at present. Judging from the current situation, it seems that he does not prevent Li Yiyan from ascending the throne, so what is his purpose?
Unable to think through it, Ning Yunxiao grabbed his head irritably.
"Master." Qingzhu walked in and whispered: "The emperor has returned to the palace, and the journey is safe."
Ning Yunxiao frowned, he had already returned to the palace, Jing Xueqing still didn't move, what did he want to do?
Seeing that Ning Yunxiao didn't speak, he continued: "The emperor sent someone to send a message to invite the princess into the palace for a banquet."
Ning Yunxiao had no choice but to put aside his thoughts for a while, and said, "Let Yu'er help me choose clothes, and you can help me get dressed." Since the last time, Ning Yunxiao found that Yu'er had a talent for making clothes, and since then she has let Yu'er take full responsibility for her own clothes.
After so long without action, he wanted to save it for the last move.
The splendid hall of the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids shuttled among them, busy. When it was almost finished, there were already ministers present, and all the ministers sat down in order according to the ranking of their official positions.
"The emperor has arrived!" Sui Qing raised his voice and shouted in a lengthened tone.
Hundreds of officials knelt down in unison.
Li Yiyan wore a yellow robe as if it was naturally invented for him, and he should have worn it on his body, which seemed so suitable, a natural king, not angry and arrogant.
"Flat." The tone is calm and majestic, and the eyes are calm but intimidating.
Ning Yunxiao sat beside Li Yiyan in a gorgeous robe, she originally wanted to come over later, Li Yiyan directly sent her companion over, although she didn't know why she let herself come over so quickly, but a little earlier and a little later, there was not much difference, it didn't matter.
And so it came.
Li Yiyan's majestic appearance made her eyes shine, she had never seen such a scene, maybe others would feel majestic and frightened, but she felt that such Li Yiyan was very charming.
Li Yiyan inadvertently swept Ning Yunxiao's appearance, and a smile flashed in his eyes. It was not in vain that he deliberately asked her to come over early, just to see such an expression, and he really didn't disappoint himself. Sure enough, she was not mistaken, such a woman only had colorful ripples in her eyes, and there was no look of fear.
"I ascended the throne today thanks to the support of your lords, and here, I salute you with a glass."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Yiyan stretched out his hand to pull Ning Yunxiao up, let her stand by his side and said, "I declare that this person is my queen!" ”
The ministers were stunned, and Ning Yunxiao was also stunned, she really didn't expect that he would announce the matter of the future as soon as he ascended the throne.
"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be discussed." An old minister who is not afraid of death came out to stop him.
"Is there anything else to consider?" Li Yiyan's majestic and majestic way.
The minister replied: "From the genealogy point of view, Ning Yunxiao is already dead, and it has been announced to the world, which makes the dead person suddenly become the queen, I'm afraid, it's not appropriate." ”
"If that's the case, rest assured, I've made arrangements." Li Yiyan said with confidence: "I have arranged a new identity for her and re-entered the family tree. ”
The ministers looked at each other, looked around, and silently discussed what to do. Li Yiyan's posture seems to be inevitable, so can these ministers stop him?
"Do you have any other opinions?"
"The minister has something to say." Elder Liu Ge got up from among the ministers and said.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Yiyan nodded. His eyes narrowed, and the cold light flickered. It seems that the lessons of the previous few times still didn't make them learn to be obedient, and they still wanted to try to interfere with him in their own interests, hmph, they can interfere if they want to, and they want to control the government with their own shallow foundation, so they can only say that you are delusional. Ning Yunxiao, the queen, whether you agree or disagree, it will not have anything to do with him.
"The Blue Moon Kingdom sent Princess Linglong to ask for marriage, if you decide the queen candidate at this moment, is it too disrespectful to the Blue Moon Country? ? Liu Ge Lao lowered his head, calculating his own careful thoughts in his heart. How could Li Yiyan not understand, he just pretended not to understand before, because he had no reason not to have the strength to take care of it, but now, the world is his own, what can't be controlled, and he can't get around.
So, he said lightly: "What about her in the capital, could it be that you are acting as a lobbyist for her?"
Pavilion Master Liu replied without the slightest fear: "Ignoring the dignity of other countries in this way is detrimental to the prestige of the country."
"Respect is mutual, she smashed my palace for no reason, and I still have to thank her?"
"The Blue Moon Country has promised compensation."
"Pavilion Master Liu's news is so fast, I haven't received a reply, Pavilion Master Liu knew in advance."
Liu Gezhu was speechless for a moment, this is not easy to accept, if he is wrong, maybe he will be charged with treason and collaboration with the enemy. This crime can be big or small, it is serious, it is a big crime to exterminate the nine clans, even if it is light, it will be landed.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yiyan snorted and said, "Why, there is really a secret in it."
"With my father's character, I will definitely not be reluctant to accompany this money, you can rest assured, the money that should be lost will not be given to you a penny." Princess Linglong said on the side. Next to her sat a teenager, not much older than her. The young man shook the folding fan, lowered his eyebrows and smiled, like a strategist. I don't know why? Ning Yunxiao glanced at the man twice.
Li Yiyan overturned the vinegar jar and glared fiercely at Ning Yunxiao's line of sight. He said, "Why did your country meddle in my family affairs?"
"The royal family has no private affairs, and the emperor's affairs are the affairs of the people in the world."
Princess Linglong seemed to be a different person, articulate and sharp. Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao glanced at each other and noticed that something was wrong with the situation.
Princess Linglong stood up, looked at Li Yiyan with burning eyes and said, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and you are going to risk the world's condemnation to forcibly seal the queen, aren't you afraid of losing the hearts of the people?"
"Have you lost the hearts of the people?" Li Yiyan smiled evilly and said: "I don't believe it yet, I want to see if it will really lose the hearts of the people." ”
"Your Majesty, no!" Liu Ge said earnestly: "The new emperor ascended the throne, and the people's hearts were initially decided, so it is really not suitable to provoke public resentment."
"Needless to say, I've made up my mind." Li Yiyan raised his hand and said, "A month later, the post-closure ceremony will be held."
Seeing that Li Yiyan had made up his mind, the ministers complied with the order.
Pavilion Master Liu frowned, and he didn't dare to force it. Princess Linglong seems to have received guidance from a master, and she is not noisy about it.
Princess Linglong was very quiet, which made Ning Yunxiao feel that she would do something. Observe her expression carefully, with a hint of anticipation in her unhappiness. What was she expecting? There is something that will make her look forward to more than after the lockdown. Ning Yunxiao couldn't figure it out, so he turned his head to look at Li Yiyan.
Li Yiyan signaled to her with her eyes that she was relieved. No matter what kind of tricks the other party wants to use, as long as he is by his side, there is nothing to fear.
Ning Yunxiao lowered her head and smiled, how could she have become more and more timid recently, just a delicate princess, even if she combined with Jing Xueqing. Jing Xueqing, yes.
Ning Yunxiao narrowed his eyes, and finally knew why he was a little jealous of this person. The sudden change of this person in the past may be related to Jing Xueqing, maybe this person is his next move.
After three rounds of drinking, Pavilion Master Liu stood up again, raised his glass and said, "Congratulations to my emperor on his accession to the throne, the lower officials have a gift to present to the emperor." ”
Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, here.
"Bring it in."
Sui Qing immediately went down and took it from Liu Ge Master.
Li Yiyan opened it and was shocked, it was actually Lianmin.
Ning Yunxiao and Li Yiyan were surprised when they saw it, and then calmed down and continued to look down. It turned out that Princess Linglong was on the way to Beijing, and many people were grateful, so they jointly played and asked the emperor to keep her in the country.
Princess Linglong helps the people? Is it possible? Ning Yunxiao looked at the smug look in Princess Linglong's eyes that couldn't be hidden. Such a person helps the people, it would be good if she didn't beat the people to death, why did I have a joint name, there is something strange in this.
"Please ask the emperor to comply with the will of the people and keep Princess Linglong in the palace." Pavilion Lord Liu said impassionedly.
Princess Linglong got up and saluted slightly: "This palace is willing to conform to the will of the people and stay here."
"Thank you to the princess for observing the people's feelings, and the lower officials represent the people of Li, and thank the princess for her kindness." Pavilion Master Liu didn't wait for Li Yiyan to speak, and took the lead in speaking.
"Lord Liu doesn't have to be polite." Princess Linglong raised her hand and floated him for a moment.
Problematic! Ning Yunxiao and Li Yiyan's hearts flashed at the same time. How could Princess Linglong know Liu Ge Lao, he is a Ge Lao, and he is not often in the court, even if it is Ning Yunxiao, if it weren't for Li Yiyan pointing out, she wouldn't know who this person is. But how did Princess Linglong know?!
