Chapter 19: The Change of the Throne
Chapter 19: The Change of the Throne
"Life No. 1" successfully won the first place, and after the old emperor took it, he actually felt hot all over his body and was able to walk freely, without any difficulty at all!
Although this is only the beginning of the effect, it is quite amazing.
Huo Lun and other alchemists, as well as the medical officers of the imperial family, came to a similar conclusion after examination.
This pill with a strange name can guarantee Yao Zhen's healthy life for about two years!!
For him, this is tantamount to extending his life by two years, and it is the kind of health and fitness.
Yao Zhen was extremely excited and grateful, and announced Zhang Shen's victory on the spot.
Yao Xing was so happy that he almost didn't laugh out loud on the spot! I was ready to be a rich idler for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that I would have to sit on that godless seat one day!
The gratitude of the old emperor Yao Zhen, the prince, no, it is the gratitude of the crown prince Yao Xing, the gratitude of the Li family, the fawning of other surnames, and the friendship of the alchemist...... At first, Zhang Shen was still a little proud, but when a series of favors and entertainment were about to drown him, he began to be depressed.
……
The crown prince confirms!!
The time of the new emperor's enthronement confirmed!!
The joyful mood, from top to bottom, spread throughout Shangling and spread to all corners of the entire Qing Kingdom.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, days pass. The day when the new emperor ascended the throne was approaching, and everyone's attention gradually shifted to this major event, which relieved the "devastated" Zhang Shen.
The day of Yao Xing's ascension to the throne has arrived!
The new emperor ascended the throne, and the whole world celebrated. Shangling is full of lights, and everywhere is filled with joyful atmosphere.
The process of the change of the throne of the Qing Kingdom is very interesting, the old emperor and the new emperor went to the temple to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, and prayed to the ancestral spirits of heaven and earth to complete the change of the throne. Only after this step can the position of the new emperor be considered orthodox, otherwise, it is just a puppet emperor.
The road leading from the palace to the ancestral temple was blocked early, and three rows of guards in armor guarded both sides of the road to prevent an eyeless guy from colliding with the car on this big day and affecting the national fortunes of the new dynasty. There are also elite cavalry and countless spies shuttling through the streets and alleys, and their sharp eyes do not let go of every corner to prevent any accidents.
With the sound of several cannons, brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, and the long motorcade began to set off from the palace to the ancestral temple.
Even in the daytime, the clear sky is still filled with red, yellow, blue and green colored fireworks, mixed with the sound of celebration all over the city, obscuring the original sound and color of heaven and earth.
Master Zhang is a distinguished guest, a guest of the royal family, and naturally he is also in this team, still in a relatively high position, very close to the high-level of the fifty surnames.
The convoy drove solemnly all the way to the ancestral temple.
The straight-line distance between the palace and the ancestral temple is not long, but in order to let more people witness the "dragon face" of the new emperor, the convoy went around and around, and it took half a day to set off at more than nine o'clock in the morning, and it was close to one o'clock in the afternoon before arriving!
Zhang Shen is in good health, although he is a little bored, but at least he can persevere, almost all of the fifty surnames who are qualified to enter the team are dying and decrepit, even if they keep taking pills, everyone is still in good spirits, as if they are going to fall down at any time.
Zhang Shen couldn't look at it, so he dug around from the storage hand towel for a while, found a few bottles of elixir that he bought a long time ago that could replenish his energy and boost his spirit, and gave them to everyone. The effect of these pills on Zhang Shen and others has long been minimal, but for these old people, it is enough for them to cheer up all day without any side effects.
After taking the medicine, everyone was refreshed and became cute again...... Immediately, their eyes became hot.
"I seem to have done something superfluous again......" The gaze that fell on him made Zhang Shen smile bitterly.
…………
Finally, the ancestral temple arrived.
The moment the convoy stopped, Zhang Shen clearly heard countless sighs of relief.
Even he himself couldn't help but wipe his slightly sweaty forehead.
The old emperor Yao Zhen, with the support of Yao Xing, came to the steps of the ancestral temple.
"I, Yao Zhen, today, I will step down from the throne and pass it on to the crown prince Yao Xing, come to the ancestral temple to pay tribute to the ancestors of heaven and earth."
"Please, Kailing."
When the words fell, the old emperor Yao Zhen actually knelt down on one knee, and then, everyone behind him knelt down with their knees touching the ground, their expressions solemn, and they didn't dare to make the slightest sound.
Zhang Shen struggled for a few seconds, activated a magic talisman, and knelt down on one knee, which could be regarded as an expression of respect for the founding fathers of the Qing Dynasty.
An amazing scene came into Zhang Shen's eyes.
Thundered!!!
A huge sound sounded, and several huge statues in the Gongwei Ancestral Temple actually began to move slowly after Yao Zhen knelt down!
With the sound of boulders rubbing against their ears, the statue moved backwards, and the four walls of the ancestral temple slowly descended, and it was not long before they completely retracted into the ground and disappeared.
But in a quarter of an hour, everything in sight changed dramatically.
Several colossi took a few steps back, kneeling on one knee, their heads hanging slightly, facing the ancestral temple, declaring their loyalty.
Look at the ancestral temple again, after the four walls are withdrawn to the ground, there are only dozens of columns that resemble Huabiao standing around, the surface is carved with dragons and phoenixes, I don't know whose clever hand will be the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers of the Qing country in all the square inches.
In the center, there is a huge ...... Square altar!
Layer by layer, it is made of rough and simple bluestone, which is full of majestic atmosphere and vicissitudes of antiquity.
Each floor is so wide that even if a hundred people jump on it, it won't be crowded.
Zhang Shen noticed that the bluestone laid in each layer is complete, and it is made of a complete whole stone!
This discovery made him feel shocked. A huge project of this scale, even if an alchemist comes to help, it will not be accomplished overnight!
A simple and crude sacrificial platform clearly shows the national strength of the Qing Kingdom, which is awe-inspiring.
Yao Zhen took a deep breath, raised his feet, and slowly stepped onto the first step.
In a trance, Zhang Shen seemed to see a wisp of golden air flying out of his head and merging into the void.
At first, Zhang Shen thought that he was mistaken, but he soon confirmed that he was not dazzled, and there was indeed a golden aura flying out of Yao Zhen's body. As he climbed, the golden gas left faster and faster.
In the end, the golden aura actually merged into a dragon shape and spiraled out.
Zhang Shen had a realization in his heart.
Most of these golden dragon qi are the dragon vein qi that represents the imperial road of the Qing Kingdom among the nine majestic dragons that I saw when I successfully entered the illusory space in the pneumatic building!!
Yao Zhen took the last step, and the moment he reached the rooftop, the last golden dragon flew out of his body.
At that moment, Zhang Shen clearly "saw" that Yao Zhen's soul fire became extremely weak and weak, and even a child could not compare!
However, all this, from the outside, is not visible. Even, Yao Zhen himself felt a sense of relief, relaxed, and his thoughts were unprecedentedly happy.
He cleaned up and described, took out an edict from his cuff, and read a lot of it according to it, which probably means that my old man has been the emperor for so many years, although the country is still passable, but there is not much progress, I am really ashamed of my ancestors and the people, and now I want to pass on the throne to Yao Xing, and you will continue to bless this country in the future......
After speaking, he withdrew the edict, and his blazing eyes fell on Yao Xing.
"Yao Xing, come forward."
Yao Xingqiang, who had been waiting for a long time, suppressed the excitement in his heart, restrained his emotions, cleaned up his description, held his head high, slowly walked in front of the old emperor Yao Zhen, knelt down, bowed three times seriously, and threw himself to the ground.
Bow down and thank the father and son;
Second worship, thank the emperor for his grace;
Three bows, thank you for the righteousness of Chuanxu.
At the end of the three bows, from now on, it is for the emperor's body, saluting the parents and brothers of the ancestors of heaven and earth, but never bowing down again!
Yao Zhen quietly watched Yao Xing bow to himself, his deep eyes were full of complicated emotions.
After the ceremony, Yao rose up.
Yao Zhen took a step back, symbolizing the relinquishment of the supremacy of the Qing State.
Yao Xing took a step forward unceremoniously.
At this moment, in the sight of Zhang Shen and the alchemists, an incomparably majestic golden dragon poked out of the void with half of its body, golden and domineering, making people dare not look at each other.
Now, the change of throne is only one last step.
Heirloom jade seal!!
The heirloom jade seal, packed in a crystal box, was escorted up by the top masters among several guards.
The crystal box is transparent, and Zhang Shen has good eyesight, and he clearly sees the appearance of the jade seal.
It is only the size of the palm, boxy, dignified, it is said to be carved from a whole piece of rare ancient jade, above is a lifelike dragon, the bottom of the jade seal carved several seal inscriptions "by the day of longevity Yongchang".
Obviously a dead thing, in Zhang Shen's sight, this jade seal is clearly alive, and he can even hear a powerful heartbeat.
A miscellaneous book in the Feixian Peak Library mentioned that there was indeed a soul sealed in the jade seal of the country, a powerful soul. As for what exactly this soul is, it is unknown.
Yao Zhen took the jade seal and handed it to the new emperor Yao Xing.
At this moment, even if his mind was as deep as the sea, Yao Xing couldn't help but show an excited expression, and his body under the thick dragon robe trembled slightly, and a blazing light shot out of his eyes, staring at the jade seal in the crystal box that seemed to be a straight toy.
After many years of long-cherished wishes, he has since surpassed tens of thousands of people, decided the life and death of countless people with one word, and controlled the world......
At this moment, Yao Xing couldn't wait to snatch the jade seal from his father!
Unless, of course, he was nervous.
On weekdays, the light jade seal, at this moment, is as heavy as a thousand pounds, and Yao Zhen's forehead is dripping with a little beads of sweat. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if it's true.
Finally, he put the crystal box containing the jade seal into Yao Xing's hand, and slowly, let go of his hand.
The moment he let go, the jade seal was magnificent, and at the same moment, the towering golden dragon in the sky let out a silent dragon roar, jumped over, and rushed into Yao Xing's body!
Originally, in Zhang Shen's view, although Yao Xing was more than loyal, he was not majestic enough. However, the moment the golden dragon entered his body, with the blessing of the dragon vein qi that represented the imperial road, Yao Xing actually had enough imperial power without a teacher.
The change of the throne of the Qing Kingdom, this is the end!!
However, at this moment, Zhang Shen clearly felt heartfelt palpitations!!
The man behind the scenes is about to act!!
