Early in the morning, according to the rules of the succession of the new sect masters of the holy domain in the past dynasties, Lu Yifan went to the imperial city early to accept the coronation of the emperor Yanchong, saying that it was crowned, but in fact it was just a kind of passing ceremony to announce that the emperor and the sect leader of the world lived in harmony and shared prosperity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The first time the important ministers of the court led by Han Xiao were on the left and right sides of the Golden Palace, and they looked solemn and stood straight. The biggest difference between today and the past is that the first place in the Golden Hall is not the only throne of the Emperor, and there is also a golden chair on the right side of the Emperor's throne, which is the position of the Sect Master of the Holy Domain. Although it is the same as the first place, the seat of the emperor is still in the middle of the first place in the Golden Palace, and the position of the sect leader is slightly off. From the seating order, it can also be seen that although the Emperor Sect Master is nominally in charge of Wenzhi and martial arts, in fact, there are still some differences in the status between the two.

Yan Chong looked at the ministers in the Golden Palace with a smile on his face, today he was in good spirits and his face was full of red light, and he looked very good. Yan Chong said with a smile: "Although Lu Yifan's replacement of Dongfang Su as the Sect Master of the Sacred Domain was proposed by this emperor, he was actually invited by the various academies and sects of the Holy Domain. You don't want to see that Sect Master Lu is young, but he raised his eyebrows for my Sacred Domain in the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, an achievement that Dongfang Su has not achieved for many years, and Sect Master Lu is a success as soon as he makes a move. Who else in the Five Domains would dare to despise my Sacred Domain now? Who else would dare to laugh at the fact that there is no strong person in my Sacred Domain? Sect Master Lu took over Dongfang Su to take charge of the Sacred Domain Sect, and he deserved it!"

"Congratulations to Sect Master Lu!" said the ministers in the hall in unison.

Lu Yifan looked at Han Xiao who was standing in the first place of the ministers with a solemn face, last night Han Xiao had already told him to strike while the iron was hot today and ask the emperor to make Lu Yifan the emperor in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Lu Yifan didn't know how the emperor would react after hearing this, so he was quite worried in his heart. Yan Chong set his eyes on Lu Yifan, slowly raised the wine glass in his hand, and said with a light smile: "Sect Leader Lu, after today, this emperor will have to rely on Sect Leader Lu a lot." Lu Yifan raised his glass and replied: "Your Majesty's words are serious, Lu Mou is just lucky to pick up a life from the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, thanks to His Majesty's love, as soon as he returned to the Holy Domain, he sat on the position of the sect leader in a daze, I really dare not take it." Yan Chong smiled and said: "If you don't dare to be, then how dare you be Dongfang Su?" Before that, Yan Chong would always politely call Dongfang Su "Dongfang Sect Master" when he mentioned it, but now that the back waves of the Yangtze River are pressing the front waves, Lu Yifan has just sat on the position of the sect leader, Yan Chong has already called Dongfang Su by his name without hesitation, and there is a lot of disdain in his words. Lu Yifan thought secretly in his heart: "I think that when Dongfang Su was sitting here, the emperor must have complimented him as much as he did me." If it's really people who go to tea and cool, things are not people. It seems that my father-in-law is right, although I am highly valued by the Emperor today, but when he changes the dynasty in the future, I will surely become the Emperor's ridicule and talk about complimenting the next Sect Master of the Holy Realm! ”

Yan Chong saw Lu Yifan stunned, and said with a smile again: "Sect Leader Lu, this emperor said something that is not visible, in fact, you were raised by me. When Hao Qian was there, he took you to the imperial city to see me, and now you have grown to such a situation, if Hao Qian has knowledge, he must be very pleased, after all, he has always regarded you as the Lu family's greatest hope. Lu Yifan couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he heard Lu Haoqian's name, and secretly disdainful of Yan Chong's words, if it weren't for Yan Chong's persecution back then, how could the Lu family end up in a situation where the family would have died tragically? Today, Yan Chong pretended to be unconcerned in front of Lu Yifan, mentioning that Lu Haoqian was still so intimate, and this kind of cheekiness should really be thicker than the city wall. Lu Yifan said without changing his face: "What can I hope for? Most of my father and mother and the Lu family have lost their lives, leaving only me and Wencai, two brothers and sisters, and the glory of the Lu family will not be able to reappear." In the end, Lu Yifan couldn't help but smile bitterly, his smile contained too much helplessness and embarrassment, he obviously had a grudge against Yan Chong, but he still said it very politely, it seems that some things are not only done by others, and he is actually being silently changed by this world. Yan Chong didn't care, and said with a smile: "When it comes to seniority, you are the grandchildren of this emperor, and when it comes to relationships, this emperor and you can be regarded as old friends, so in the future, this emperor doesn't want to always call you 'Sect Master Lu' like this, how about calling you Yifan?" Lu Yifan knew that this was Yan Chong's intention to win himself over, but on the surface, he still had to show a grateful look, and said: "Your Majesty said that Lu is grateful. Yan Chong laughed when he heard this, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, well, with the assistance of Fan in the future, this emperor will definitely be able to make the Holy Domain prosperous." When the ministers heard this, they all agreed.

"Your Majesty!" Han Xiao looked left and right at the minister standing behind him, stepped forward and arched his hand, and said, "The minister has a suggestion that he wants to ask His Majesty to take it. Yan Chong was stunned for a moment, and said magnificently: "Han Gong has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as it is your suggestion, the emperor will definitely agree." Han Xiao said: "Your Majesty's love makes Han Xiaocheng fearful, and the minister wants to ask Your Majesty to look at the merits that Sect Master Lu has made for the Holy Domain, and make Sect Master Lu unusually named 'Emperor'." ”

"Hiss!" As soon as Han Xiao said this, the hall was in an uproar. All the ministers silently lowered their heads, secretly speculating about Han Xiao's intentions in their hearts, and the smile on Yan Chong's face instantly froze, and his face suddenly became a little gloomy. Lu Yifan remained silent, just sat quietly beside the emperor and watched the changes. Yan Chong said: "Han Xiao, Yifan is now the Sect Master of the Sacred Domain, you should know that the Emperor Sect Master is in charge of the Sacred Domain's martial arts, do you think it is necessary for this emperor to make him emperor? And this emperor also wants to hear what you mean by the merits of Qianqiu?" Yan Chong's words were so loud that a fool could hear the displeasure in his tone. Han Xiao was neither humble nor arrogant, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Sect Master Lu has three merits, no matter which one of them is enough to make His Majesty add an official to him. First, Lan Shixun secretly connected to the Beast Domain to rebel in the northern frontier, if it weren't for the Lu Sect Master to lead the Soul Sect and the Emperor to fight against the rebels, and then ask Princess Mu Dan of the Spirit Domain to send troops to help, I am afraid that the current Holy Domain would have been shattered. Second, Yan Zheng, the king of Shengxi, held the power of the court during His Majesty's bedridden recuperation, secretly bribed the killer to do mischief, and tried to break Jinling with Lan Shixun's army, Yan Zheng's heart is to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, if it is not for the Lu Sect Master to pierce Yan Zheng's bad heart in time, even if His Majesty suppresses Lan Shixun, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be affected by his own brother in the future. The third is that His Majesty just said that the Lu Sect Master raised his eyebrows for my Sacred Domain at the Five Domains Spirit Banquet, so that the people of the other Four Domains would no longer dare to underestimate the strong people of my Sacred Domain, this is the feat of the Sacred Domain's fame, if it weren't for the Lu Sect Master's merits, this day would probably have to wait for an unknown number of spring and autumn seasons. Moreover, Yifan once won the grace of heaven and inherited the grace of heaven and earth, so he was named the emperor of China, which can be regarded as conforming to the will of heaven and earth. ”

"Han Gong's words are wrong!" An elderly minister in the palace glared at Han Xiao on crutches and scolded loudly, "You said so much just to help your precious son-in-law sit on the throne." Don't forget that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Han Gong is now in the court as the protector of the country, and he is already above 10,000 people under one person, and Lu Yifan sits on the throne of the Sacred Domain Sect Master, and he monopolizes the power of the Sacred Domain Sect. One of you Weng and your son-in-law is in the court and the other is in the opposition, which is equivalent to holding most of the holy land, and now Han Gong is still not satisfied and wants to put Lu Yifan on the throne, such thoughts will inevitably make people suspicious of other plans, Han Gong Mo doesn't want to use the power of your two Weng and son-in-law today to blackmail Your Majesty to agree to your request, right?" Han Xiao said with a straight face: "Han Mou's loyalty to His Majesty can be evidenced by the sun and the moon, and the loyal and brave marquis should not spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Marquis Zhongyong sneered: "It's not the heart of an old villain, it's just that a gentleman is open, if Han Gong is really a sincere gentleman's heart, how could he make such a request? The Western Emperor fought against the Beast Domain Evil Demon Qilin King to save the world, and the Eastern Emperor Jinghai broke the Demon Domain Gu Sect's life and death gate to transform the common people. The exploits of the two of them are not only in the holy realm, but also in the world. Even so, the Western Emperor Mingyuan and the Eastern Emperor Jinghai still shirked the throne again and again, and in the end, it was the emperor who insisted on it again and again, so he reluctantly suffered two false names, and he did not overstep his authority from beginning to end. It has been more than a million years since the Eastern Emperor Jinghai turned and the stars have shifted, and there is no one other than the Yan Clan in my holy realm to enthrone the throne, Han Xiao, you actually proposed to list the Lu Sect Leader today with the two eternal figures of the Western Emperor Mingyuan and the Eastern Emperor Jinghai, don't you feel a little blushing?"

Marquis Zhongyong's words seemed to have won Yan Chong's heart, only to see Yan Chong look at Lu Yifan with deep meaning, and said with a light smile: "Yifan, your father-in-law wants to promote you to become the emperor and sit in the holy realm with the emperor, I don't know what you think? Lu Yifan subconsciously glanced at Han Xiao but saw that he was looking at him nervously, Lu Yifan was helpless in his heart, but he strongly supported Han Xiao and said: "Father-in-law, how can Lu not appreciate it? If His Majesty agrees, Lu is willing to follow the example of the Western Emperor Mingyuan and the Eastern Emperor Jinghai, and only accept the name of the Middle Emperor, but not the right to the throne." Han Xiao said: "Your Majesty, although Sect Leader Lu's merits are not as good as those of Mingyuan and Jinghai, Your Majesty should not forget that Sect Master Lu is only in his early twenties now, what does it mean to have such merits at such a young age......" Zhongyong Marquis rushed to speak: "Han Gong, are you threatening Your Majesty? If Your Majesty rejects your request, can Han Gong and Sect Leader Lu still rebel together?" Han Xiao fell to his knees with a "poof" and pleaded to the Emperor: "Han Xiao is loyal to His Majesty, if he has two wishes, he will not die if the sky thunders and splits." As long as His Majesty enshrines Yifan as the emperor, Han Xiao is willing to immediately step down from the position of protector and go home to retire, in order to prove that Han has no greed for power!" As soon as Han Xiao's words came out, the Marquis of Zhongyong couldn't help but be stunned, but the mocking words that had already reached his lips couldn't be said. If Han Xiao is willing to take the initiative to dismiss the official, then he will be a little slapped in the face if he bites and says that Han Xiao intends to seek power.

Now Yan Chong was embarrassed, he looked left and right as if he wanted to find a few more people from the hall to speak for the Marquis of Zhongyong, but the ministers in the Golden Palace were all silent, and no one dared to wade into this troubled water. Yan Chong looked at Lu Yifan sideways, and the anxiety on his face became more obvious, if Lu Yifan said a few words, he would have postponed the matter for a few years, but just now Lu Yifan was obviously speaking from Han Xiao's position, with Lu Yifan's current status and power, Yan Chong would have to weigh it carefully if he wanted to veto him. After all, Lu Yifan's power today is even more powerful than that of Dongfang Su back then. Yan Chong knew that Han Xiao was striking while the iron was hot, as long as Lu Yifan was crowned on the throne, then Yan Chong would not be able to snub Han Xiao, not only could he not be snubbed, but he would also have to stutter everywhere, because at that time, Han Xiao would be a vital part of the relationship between Yan Chong and Lu Yifan, and the most important thing was that even if Lu Yifan stepped down as the leader of the Holy Domain in the future, he would still be the "middle emperor" on an equal footing with himself, although Lu Yifan himself only said that it was a false name, but in fact, only relying on this false name, the Han and Lu families would be on an equal footing with the Yan royal family for thousands of generations in the future. The throne is different from the throne, and Yan Zheng, the king of Shengxi, wants to replace Yan Chong's position is a plot of misdeeds and a great rebellion, but if the emperor wants to replace the position of the emperor in the future, he will only sit down, and it will not involve who is against whom at all. Yan Chong was distressed in his heart, he was not at all down-to-earth as the emperor, first Lan Shixun, then Yan Zheng, Dongfang Su, and finally passed the test and took the power into his own hands, but he jumped out of Han Xiao and Lu Yifan, his throne always seemed to be sitting on the blade, and he could sit down peacefully by looking at other people's faces. If Lu Yifan is crowned as the emperor today, then Lu Yifan's status will completely override Yan Chong, as long as he wants to, he can replace him at any time. There is only one thing Yan Chong can do, and that is to pray that Lu Yifan will not have such thoughts.

Yan Chong thought for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, he got up and walked in front of Han Xiao to personally help Han Xiao up, and said loudly to the ministers in the Golden Palace: "Who is Han Xiao? He is the emperor's confidant and favorite general, and he is the emperor's brother in life and death. Without Han Xiao, the emperor would have died at the hands of those traitors for a long time, and any of you in this golden palace could have ill intentions towards the emperor, but he, Han Xiao, would never have such a possibility. Han Xiao's merits are far above the emperor, don't say that he will agree to recommend Yifan as the middle emperor, even if he elects himself to be the emperor, he will definitely not frown!" Yan Chong's words were righteous and sincere, which made Han Xiao's eyes red with gratitude, and he just wanted to bow down to Yan Chong, but he was held up by Yan Chong. Yan Chong said: "This emperor is old, if you resign and return to your hometown, then who should be in charge of this huge court? You are the emperor's brother and the emperor's siblings." So you can't go, and the emperor won't let you go, you continue to be your protector of the country, and the emperor will be sure in your heart!" Saying that, Yan Chong suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the Zhongyong Marquis who was full of surprise, and angrily reprimanded: "Zhongyong Marquis, are you old and confused? In the Golden Palace, he dared to frame the Protector in front of the emperor and his ministers for plotting rebellion, and kept accusing him and Yifan Weng's son-in-law of threatening the emperor, is the emperor so easy to be threatened?" Yan Chong shouted: "You are disrespectful to the emperor, disrespectful to the sect leader, you have speculated on the protector of the country, and you have also planted a lot of false accusations, it is clear that you are sowing discord between the emperor and the sect leader and the protector of the country, the emperor expects that you must be instructed by someone to do this, eighty percent of them are the dying struggle of the Dongfang Su, and using such ghost tricks to split the relationship between the emperor of the holy domain and the sect leader is really hateful and hateful!" At this moment, Mo said that the Marquis of Zhongyong was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and even Lu Yifan was full of surprise, because he had just seen Yan Chong's eyes full of appreciation and praise for the Marquis of Zhongyong, but now why did the style of painting change in the blink of an eye, and the only Marquis Zhongyong who dared to stand up and speak his heart for the emperor turned into a traitor sent by the Dongfang Su to sow discord? Han Xiao just stood quietly on the side and looked at the Marquis Zhongyong coldly, without saying a word.

"The most important thing in the Sacred Realm Imperial Hall is to unite with one heart, this emperor will not tolerate a traitor like you! Someone, push this old man down and behead him, and hang his head on the Jinling City Tower to set an example!" Yan Chong became more and more angry the more he spoke, and finally directly ordered the execution of the Marquis Zhongyong.

The Marquis of Zhongyong was first surprised, then full of confusion, followed by fear, but at this moment, he suddenly suddenly realized that he laughed out loud, he was dragged out of the Golden Palace by the two golden guards who rushed in, but his mouth was reckless and laughed again and again: "The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, today the minister died for His Majesty, it is really a well-deserved death, and it is not a pity to die......!"

The ministers in the Golden Palace were so frightened that they were in a cold sweat, and they were secretly lucky that they didn't talk too much just now. The Marquis of Zhongyong became Yan Chong's substitute for the dead to save face, and Yan Chong's move was to abandon the car to protect the handsome, although it was a last resort, but it was also the way of the king.

Just when the miserable laughter of the Marquis of Zhongyong was faintly gone, Yan Chong suddenly turned around and took Han Xiao's arm and took two steps forward, and then Yan Chong waved his hand towards Lu Yifan, who was sitting in the first place, and laughed loudly: "If you don't see His Majesty the Emperor at this moment, when will you stay?"

Hearing Yan Chong's words, the Manchu ministers led by Han Xiao knelt down to Lu Yifan together, and shouted in unison: "The ministers meet His Majesty the Emperor!" Lu Yifan watched the Manchu ministers bow down to him and had mixed feelings in his heart, in fact, for him today, the name of "Emperor Zhong" is really dispensable, thinking about the bits and pieces that he has experienced with the Lu family and the Soul Sect over the years, once upon a time, he could not say that he was crowned emperor? Even if Lu Wencai and Lu Jun were the small commanders of the Jinling City army, they had to be dismissed because of the defeat of the Lu family, how much they needed the help of others at that time, but no one asked the gate of the Lu Mansion. Now Lu Yifan no longer needs it, and wave after wave of fame and fortune has come to the door by himself. It really responded to the sentence "It's easy to put the icing on the cake but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow".

Seeing the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty bowing to Lu Yifan, Yan Chong nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, so he walked towards his throne with a laugh. And in his gaze at Lu Yifan, an extremely faint gloom could no longer restrain the corner of his eyes.
