Episode 1 Enthronement

Next Chapter

It's the beginning of spring, and everything is full of life, but there are really not many people on the streets of Anyang City. So where have all the people gone? Yes, the altar of Taiping.

The originally cold altar was crowded with people, and outside the thirty-nine steps, all the officials lined up on both sides, performing the ritual of half-bowing. The periphery of the altar was filled with almost all the people of Anyang City. Gongs and drums sounded everywhere, and all sides were covered with red flags symbolizing auspiciousness, and on the altar, only a banner embroidered with blue birds and the sun and moon stood alone.

Yes, a major event is happening in Taiping today, that is, Taiping succeeds Long Xian, and another new emperor is about to succeed to the throne, and now, all the people are waiting in front of the sacrificial platform, the last link of the new emperor's sacrifice, Taiping's new witch envoy!

Traditionally, the sacrificial ceremonies and succession ceremonies on the Taiping Emperor have always been with the inauguration of the new witch envoy of the Yan clan, which means that the blue bird and the sun and the moon are about to bring a new Taiping dynasty.

Today was supposed to be a day of celebration for the whole country, but the officials around the altar all maintained the same movement, struggling to support, while the people outside the altar were whispering.

"Do you think this witch won't come?"

"Probably not, didn't the holy decree be announced just now? The new emperor must wait until the new Yan witch envoy arrives before he can officially ascend the throne. “

"If the witch envoy doesn't come for a long time, this emperor will never be able to ascend the throne?"

"I'm looking at this sacrificial ceremony, Xuan. One of the people shook his head uncontrollably. "You look at the new emperor, dressed in black, standing there with his eyes closed, and at first glance, he is going to stand until dark, but it is a pity that these officials have to salute all the time. “

"You say, this old emperor is really strange, he also copied the Yan family before, and now he has restored the status of the Yan family's witch envoy. “

"I copied the Yan family before, because I suspected that the Yan family had anything to do with Xixuan, but later I found out that it was the Wang family's ghost, so I naturally had to be rehabilitated. After being rehabilitated, we must no longer make good compensation? I heard that there is no queen on this new emperor. “

"Didn't the national election before that twelve girls entered the palace?"

"Listen to my relatives in the palace. One of the people lowered his voice, and all the good people around him came over, waiting to listen to a big gossip.

"My relatives told me that the new queen of the emperor must be chosen by a witch messenger for divination, so that the country can prosper. “

"What kind of news is this, the queen of the old emperor was also divined by the Yan witch envoy, and all the previous emperors were. “

"That's, that's it, you still have to hear about this thing that even the children in the alley know. “

"I, this, this, doesn't this mean that the royal family has a new responsibility for the Yan family. “

"But I'm very curious, what will this descendant of the Yan family be like, he must also be a person who has fallen into the city and the country. “

"It must be yes, the witch envoy of the Yan clan is not born to the country and the city. “

Just when the people were still discussing, there was a sound behind them of Lingling, Lingyu and Pei Huanling hitting each other, and in an instant, all the people were attracted by the sudden sound, including the new emperor on the altar.

Walking in front of him is a sedan chair carried by four big men, the sedan chair is covered with transparent tulle, and there can be a faint figure in it, a woman's figure, just a hazy shadow, can make all people sigh, under this graceful posture, there must be a look of the country and the city.

The sedan chair walked to the altar head-on, the surrounding people consciously gave way to the road, even the soldiers put down their weapons, this sedan chair, so smoothly walked to the bottom of the altar, between the civil and military officials worshipping, the sedan chair slowly stopped.

Long Xiang also opened his eyes and turned his body towards the sedan chair, he also felt that the person sitting on this sedan chair was the person he was waiting for.

Long Xiang didn't move, all the officials didn't move, the four strong men carrying the sedan chair didn't move, the people around were waiting, someone moved first, Yan Gonggong slowly walked to the front of the sedan chair with the support of the little eunuch, looked up at the sedan chair that was still being carried by the big man, and slowly opened his mouth: "Dare to ask the person on the sedan chair is the person surnamed Yan?"

"Yes. There was a crisp and pleasant sound from the sedan chair, which was soft and gentle, and it made the hearts of the people around him half crispy.

"Ask the new envoy to hand over the token. Father-in-law Yan still said slowly, his white hair combed neatly.

After a while, a delicate arm like a jade lotus root stretched out from the sedan chair, holding an ordinary wooden box in his hand. Yan Gonggong took the wooden box with both hands and opened it, inside was a piece of jade, a very ordinary jade, others thought that this might be a marked jade, but no one knew that this was a famous treasure all over the world, the soul guarding jade.

It's a pity that there are not many people who have seen it, and Grandpa Yan is one of them. Gonggong Yan only glanced at it a few times, then handed the wooden box to the little eunuch beside him, and nodded at the emperor on the altar.

Gonggong Yan slowly turned back, saluted the sedan chair, and said respectfully, "Please ask the Yan witch envoy to go to the altar." “

As soon as Yan Gonggong's voice fell, everyone's eyes were focused on the sedan chair, waiting for the people to get down from the sedan chair.

The sedan chair still did not fall to the ground, and the four strong men carried it steadily, but the two strong men in front of them stretched out a hand, and the two strong men stretched out their hands and held each other's hands together. Just when everyone thought it was strange, a white little foot stretched out, the hem of the clothes fluttered, and the small foot stepped lightly on the big man's hand, and the big man squatted down and carefully landed on the ground with the supporting foot.

Wow, the woman on the sedan chair was easy to appear, and everyone was stunned. With delicate skin, plump figure, and beautiful face, no one has ever seen such a beautiful woman, but unfortunately, in her arms, she was holding a girl about eight years old, and the girl had a mask on her face.

All the men sighed, but unfortunately, the witch envoy of the Yan clan already had a daughter, although this was not a strange thing.

Yan originally borrowed the custom of giving birth to children, every time the witch envoy was eighteenth birthday, he would ask the heavens, choose a man, and give birth to a child, interestingly, each child, will be a daughter, people also call this thing interestingly, the curse of Yan.

With this legend, it is natural not to feel strange to see this young girl again.

I saw this woman walk lightly past the bent ministers, step by step on the altar, on the altar of thirty-seven steps, towards the man standing between heaven and earth, sassy and sassy, and also the latest generation of emperors in this Taiping Dynasty, this twenty-two-year-old boy will carry all the weight of the Taiping Dynasty.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, waiting to witness this sacred enthronement ceremony!
