Chapter 334: Dark Tide (4)
Following.
The enthronement ceremony was solemn and simple.
It is said to be grand, because it is, after all, a major event in which Emperor Zhao died and the new emperor succeeded to the throne. This marks the passing of one era and the arrival of another.
It's simple because it's a little shabby.
It seems that a few pieces of bright yellow rags have been torn to decorate the Taihe Palace, and there is no other arrangement.
Li Haochen sat on the dragon chair and listened to Grandpa Xu's arrangement.
Gonggong Hai hid in the shadows, and did his best to assist the smooth progress of this ceremony.
Whatever Gonggong Xu read in his mouth, Li Haochen didn't listen to a word.
He was so absent-minded.
The reason why he was so distracted was that in addition to thinking about Ning Qiuyue, who was still locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, there were also two positions above the court that were absent.
These two vacant seats are the prime minister of Fang and Suo Zhongtang.
In other words, on such an important day, they actually dared to be absent.
This is really more fierce than eating the courage of an ambitious leopard.
Li Haochen and Empress Wu Ya's eyes touched each other, and Empress Wu Ya pouted and shook her head to signal Li Haochen to endure it.
Li Haochen's Adam's apple squirmed, and the fist under the long sleeves had already been pinched and pinched.
There are a number of ministers standing below, and they don't really pay much attention to this enthronement ceremony.
There are several people who are in the same party as Suo Zhongtang and are already talking to each other. There is no Li Haochen in his eyes at all.
Some other neutral people are also worried about Li Haochen's ability, can such a child take on such a heavy responsibility?
This is not a family game, this is a real political struggle.
This is miserable, it seems that all the ministers don't believe in Li Haochen's ability.
Not long after the enthronement ceremony, the people below were beaten like frost eggplant.
At the most critical time, Gonggong Xu announced Li Haochen as the new emperor and changed his name to Emperor Chen.
But Gonggong Xu, who was holding the holy decree, didn't know what was going on, he looked at the whining crowd below, and actually stammered.
……
Cold sweat was pouring down his body, and he couldn't say a word.
Li Haochen glared at him, and said in his heart, What's the matter with you? Don't hurry up and announce it!
Queen Wu Yashi also glared at Gonggong Xu fiercely, damn it, this slave just made a mistake at this juncture.
How could Gonggong Xu not be afraid in his heart. The queen's eyes alone were enough to scare him into peeing his pants, not to mention the fierce gaze cast by the reigning emperor Li Haochen.
It's over, it's over, what's wrong with you? Why can't you say it when you hold the Divine Decree?
Is it so difficult to declare Li Haochen on the throne as emperor?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Haochen ......"
Father-in-law Xu trembled all over, and he couldn't hold back, and he really peed out.
There was a bang, and the ground was wet.
It suddenly made the scene even more embarrassing.
"This ......"
Li Haochen suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Lee's butt lifted her ass from the dragon chair and tried to stand up.
As for what to do when he stood up, he didn't have any idea in his head for the time being.
Maybe stand up and declare it yourself?
Or stand up like your father and start getting angry with the courtiers below?
Empress Wu Yashi cast a supportive look at him, signaling him not to panic.
Only then did Li Haochen calm down and sit up straight again.
At this moment, two people walked in in a dashing manner outside the hall, and these two people talked and laughed, completely ignoring how majestic the Taihe Hall was.
When the ministers saw that it was the two of them coming, they became very quiet.
It seems to be more respectful than meeting the future new emperor.
It's ridiculously inverted.
Li Haochen saw that it was these two people coming, and he couldn't sit still in an instant, who had already calmed down.
Queen Wu Yashi could only throw him a look again, hoping that he would still remember what he said to him last night: Big husband, you can bend and stretch.
Suo Zhongtang opened his mouth first, "Yo, the big guys are here, it's really lively." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to a fat, chubby, mustachioed man and slammed two punches into his round belly.
jokingly said: "Lord Yin, it's really rare that even you are here today." In the past, it was rare for you to go to court a few times a year, either you were sick, or your wife was sick, and your concubine was sick...... I thought you would be absent again today, and you would send someone to report that the dog was sick. Hahaha......"
Suo Zhongtang's words seem to be bull's head and wrong horse's mouth, but every sentence is slapping Li Haochen's face.
Because he stood below so unruly, and ridiculed the officials in the court so wantonly, this is already a great disrespect to Li Haochen. This kind of behavior can basically be convicted by killing the head.
The fat official didn't dare to answer, so he could only bury his head down.
Suo Zhongtang didn't think it was enjoyable enough, so he walked up to a somewhat hunchbacked official.
used all the poetry and songs he had learned in his life, and vigorously mocked how an ugly person like him could become a court official.
Could it be that the imperial court is really not picky at all when selecting talents? All dead cats and rotten rats are recruited inside.
Li Haochen heard this, and he couldn't wait to rush down and knock Suo Zhongtang down with one punch.
Suo Zhongtang smiled and came to Gonggong Xu again, he looked at the wet piece under Gonggong Xu's feet.
even laughed so straight that he couldn't straighten his waist, "Hahaha, a eunuch is a eunuch, it's really unproductive......"
"You!" Li Haochen couldn't help it, he wanted to make a move too much.
But at this moment, Fang Zairen stood up again.
He pretended to be very angry and said angrily to Suo Zhongtang: "Lord Zhongtang, you are too presumptuous. Don't you see our new emperor sitting on that dragon chair? ”
Suo Zhongtang raised his head and glanced at Li Haochen.
His eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
"Oh, forgiveness, forgiveness. Forgive the minister's clumsiness. ”
He talks about forgiveness, but his body has no sincerity.
He still stood crookedly and laughed at Gonggong Xu's troubles, and didn't take Li Haochen in his eyes at all.
At this time, Li Haochen's patience had reached the extreme, and he could no longer control himself.
slapped the dragon chair and stood up.
Pointing at Suo Zhongtang and yelling: "Presumptuous! ”
This roar was like a domineering tiger in the forest, which startled everyone present.
Prime Minister Fang hurriedly jumped out and pulled Suo Zhongtang aside.
and respectfully asked Li Haochen to calm his anger.
Then with a wave of his hand, the first one knelt down first.
"The ministers are benevolent, bow down to the emperor, long live my emperor."
Prime Minister Fang's move directly drove all the ministers.
So everyone knelt down in unison, and said in their mouths: "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”
Therefore, there is no need for Xu Gonggong's announcement at all. Everyone has recognized and accepted Li Haochen as the new emperor.
