The giant ship of time sailed away from Taichang in the fifteenth year (546), and the year name of Taichang was also used in the sixteenth year, and in the early years, the ministers would ask Gao Cheng to change the era name for the Son of Heaven, but then no one mentioned it.

On New Year's Day, the solar eclipse that Gao Huan saw before his death came as scheduled.

Gao Longzhi's proposal was to use the solar eclipse as an excuse to accuse Yuan Shanjian of immorality, but Gao Cheng refused.

After so many years of manipulation, Yuan Shanjian's reputation has long been stinky, and Gao Cheng does not plan to make a fuss about solar eclipses again.

didn't even engage in any drama in which the king of Qi should be the lord of the world and the solar eclipse was predicted, his usurpation of the throne was already a matter of course, and there was no need to draw snakes.

After all, the time to come came, on the eighth day of the first month, after Gao Cheng went to Bishan to worship Gao Huan, he officially began to warm up for the usurpation of the country.

Because Gao Cheng had already received special gifts such as fake Huangyue and Jiuxi after six resignations and six concessions when he inherited the throne, the Gao family only had one last step left, to receive Zen.

First of all, Luoyang County, the rise of the second school of Qi Wang Gong cover thousands of autumns, grace is full of the four seas, whether the Son of Heaven should follow the example of Yao Shun Zen to make Xian.

Such a discussion was not banned by the government, and the governors of other prefectures and counties learned the news, without Gao Cheng's instructions, they all exerted their subjective initiative and forged auspiciousness.

Chen Yuankang, the history of the state thorn, claimed that there was a big turtle in Fenshui, and its abdomen had a Qi character.

Liu Honghui, the assassin of Yanzhou, said that a fisherman picked up a stone man from the Yellow River, but the stone man had sound eyes and only five big characters engraved on the back: "King Qi dominates the world".

There are many more like this, and even Hou Jing, the assassin of Jingzhou, also came to join in the excitement and presented auspicious rui related to the king of Qi to Luoyang.

Gao Cheng does not reward or punish the above behavior.

didn't make a commendation because Gao Cheng didn't want to be seen as a joke by future generations, after all, this kind of trick, he himself used to hold back laughter.

And Jin Xian Xiangrui is also a manifestation of loyalty to himself and support for the Gao family's Dai Wei, and it is impossible to punish him with this.

But it is not without exceptions, the auspicious Rui offered by Jizhou Assassin Shi Yuan Xiaoyou is different, but it is hundreds of thousands of people in Xindu City who either signed or painted a pledge, asking the King of Qi not to live up to the expectations of the people because of his loyalty to the Son of Heaven.

On the day that Yuan Xiaoyou's auspicious rui was sent to the Qi Palace, Yuan Shan immediately issued an edict that the wife of Gao Jun, the feudal state assassin, was a princess, and Gao Jun's wife was the daughter of Yuan Xiaoyou.

This also made officials from all over the country figure out Gao Cheng's thoughts: It turned out that His Royal Highness King Qi liked this tune.

So a letter that affected the entire north was launched, and the people of the state and county towns signed their names if they could write, and those who couldn't write were fingerprinted, and all of them were sent to Luoyang as public opinion.

Yuan Shanjian, who lived in the deep palace, felt the turbulent public opinion, and in April of the same year, under the persuasion of Gao Longzhi, he wrote the edict of Chan Rang, and Gao Longzhi took the edict and the seal of Fu to the palace of the king of Qi, and declared the edict to establish the king of Qi as the emperor, and was willing to let the country and the mountains and societies give way.

Taishi Ling also used celestial phenomena as the reason to prove that Wei De was declining, and the ministers persuaded him one after another, all saying that the king of Qi had great merits and virtues, and should comply with the will of heaven and the people's wishes and the invitation of hundreds of officials, and ascend the throne as the emperor.

It's just that all of this was sternly rejected by His Royal Highness King Qi, the last loyal minister of Great Wei.

Gao Cheng reprimanded Gao Longzhi sharply, claiming that he and the previous kings were in power for two generations, and they were only dedicated to supporting the community and saving the people from fire and water.

Of course, King Xiao Gao himself doesn't know what legacy his ancestors have left since his grandfather Gao Shu and above.

However, Gao Cheng's earnest teachings could not make Gao Longzhi, a female thief who has no king, repent, and in early May, he once again led his ministers to see Yuan Shan, asking the Son of Heaven to be located in the king of Qi.

Yuan Shanjian then issued an edict for the second time, saying that the destiny of heaven is impermanent, since ancient times, the emperor has not had the same surname, and the society should be a virtuous person.

Who is a virtuous person, it is naturally the friend of the widow of Great Wei, Gao Cheng, the king of Qi.

Yuan Shan took effect as Yao Shun Chan rang, Yao took the allusion of the second daughter Shun, Cao Pi on behalf of the Han, and dedicated the emperor to the second daughter as Cao Pi's concubine, and married the second daughter to Gao Cheng.

The ministers still went on the table to persuade and express their alignment with the support of Wang Daiwei

Hold.

However, even the little high king, who had to resign and give six concessions to inherit the throne, how could he nod his head in the second Chan concession.

So in the summer and autumn of the sixteenth year of Taichang (547), Yuan Shanjian repeatedly said that the Wei family was immoral and the mandate of heaven was in Qi, but Gao Cheng, the king of Qi, repeatedly expressed his resignation and resignation, and exchanged a total of nine times, and Yuan Shanjian was about to be pulled and numb.

Since the beginning of winter, most of the autumn taxes in various places have arrived at the national treasury, including the taxes of Longyou and Xianbei relocated households, which is the first time that Gao Cheng has paid autumn taxes to the imperial court after ordering them to be exempted from taxes for five years.

The treasury was full, and Gao Cheng finally nodded, allowing Gao Longzhi and others to launch the tenth persuasion.

On October 13 of the sixteenth year of Taichang (547), the 38 northern states and subordinate counties were all on the table to request the king of Qi to ascend the throne.

On October 17, Yuan Shanjian also issued an edict to the king of Qi for the tenth time under the persuasion of ministers such as Gao Longzhi, the left servant Sun Teng, the right servant Yang Su, and the middle secretary Sima Ziru.

At the same time, following the example of Yao Shun Chan, Yao used the allusion of the second daughter Shun and Cao Pi to the Han Dynasty, and offered the emperor to take the second daughter as Cao Pi's concubine The old practice of marrying the second daughter to Gao Cheng.

Although the two little princesses were not born to Queen Gao, according to the rule that the children of the concubine take their wives as their mothers, they should be called Gao Cheng's uncle, and with Yuan Shanjian's brother-sister relationship with Yuan Zhonghua, it seems that they should also call their uncle.

It's unethical, but it's exactly what it is.

This time, Gao Cheng did not refuse, but he did not make a statement, but he just closed his door and did not come out.

Shang Shu ordered Gao Longzhi to lead the Luoyang ministers to cry outside the gate of the Qi Palace, begging His Royal Highness the King of Qi to take care of the common people and not to refuse.

Gao Cheng still didn't open the door, he leaned less, the Son of Heaven came to the Qi Palace, Gao Cheng opened the door to welcome the king, and his expression was full of sincerity and fear.

Yuan Shanjian didn't enter the door, held Gao Cheng's hand tightly in front of the ministers, and said earnestly:

"Erzhu rioted, the country collapsed, and it was necessary for King Wu (Gao Huan) to resuspend the sun and moon and rebuild the Wei family, so that I was lucky enough to ascend to the throne.

"However, in the sixteenth year of the imperial pole, he has no merit to the community, and no kindness has been given to the people, and the king of Qi has a wise strategy, and he has the merit of defeating the rebellion and the distance outside, and has the virtue of helping the world and the people, and the virtue is clear, and the sea praises.

"Now the nine resignations and nine concessions are enough to show the great festival of the king, but the king's order cannot be violated, and the people's hearts cannot be negative, and I hope that the king of Qi will take the world as his own responsibility and accept this edict."

After that, Yuan Shan ordered the eunuch to hand over the edict of abdication and hand it over to Gao Cheng in person.

After years of repeated tempering, Yuan Shanjian's acting skills have long been polished by Gao Cheng, but he is still not as good as Xiao Gao Wang, who is in tears at the moment.

He took the edict with trembling hands, and wept and prayed:

"The minister's father was trusted by His Majesty, entrusted with military affairs, determined to restore the Wei family, and the minister succeeded his father's last order, in order to repay the king's kindness, he did not dare to slack off.

"To this day, the ministers are persecuted by the ministers and the people, and they are frightened, and they close their doors to thank customers, and they also want to resign and return to their hometowns in order to continue the Great Wei Society.

"However, the minister has nine resignations, but His Majesty has ten concessions, and now His Majesty tells him in his heartfelt words, the minister is not an iron stone, how dare he ask the king again."

When the ministers saw that King Qi had finally responded, whether it was King Qi's henchmen or the ministers of the clan, they all celebrated with crowns, but Yuan Shanjian had mixed emotions in his heart.

The edict was just an appetizer, the former ministers of the Qi palace dispersed, and the Son of Heaven also returned to the palace, leaving only Shangshu to order Gao Longzhi, the left servant to shoot Sun Teng, the right servant to shoot Yang Su, and the middle secretary Sima Ziru and other henchmen to follow Gao Cheng into the mansion and design the next Zen ceremony.

The next day, referring to Cao Pi's script of usurping the Han Dynasty, Gao Longzhi was ordered to preside over the construction of the Shouzen Platform on the bank of the Luoshui River.

It took two months for Gao Longzhi to rush to work, and finally in accordance with Cao Pi's regulations by Zen Tai, he built a three-level platform covering an area of 13 acres.

At that time, the officials will be distributed on the three-level platform according to the grade, each level has 27 layers of steps, the three-level total of 81 steps leads to the top, the north of the top of the platform is built with a palace-like building, the pavilion stone fence is magnificent, mighty and magnificent.

At the end of the sixteenth year of Taichang (547), Yu Ji, who was proficient in Xuanxiang divination, was ordered to divinate and set the date of receiving Zen on the auspicious day of the first lunar month of the next year.

On the first day of 548 A.D., after almost a whole year, the drama of the Gao family on behalf of Wei finally kicked off.

At three o'clock in the morning, 90,000 Xianbei soldiers from Liang, Shaanxi, and Guangzhou, Luoyang's 110,000 Gyeonggi Army, and 50,000 Sailors, a total of 250,000 troops, had already been deployed in Luoyang.

Until Mao Shi (five o'clock in the morning), Yuan Shanjian stepped on the top of the Zen platform, and the military generals stood on the three-level platform according to their respective grades, and there were also Rouran, Tuyuhun, and even the envoys of the Southern Liang to watch the ceremony and congratulate them, on the three-level platform, tens of thousands of people were ready to accompany the throne, just waiting for the king of Qi to appear.

More than halfway through the hour, in a noisy sky of gongs and drums, and colorful flags, the car of King Qi drove to the front of the Zen platform.

As soon as Gao Chengcai appeared in front of everyone, the 250,000 troops in the audience shouted in unison under the leadership of the general.

In the momentum of soaring into the sky, Gao Cheng took a step and climbed the high platform of power.

Every time he stepped onto the first stage, he always had to stand for a while, look around at the officials on the stage, and look carefully at the excited faces.

After walking through the 81 steps, Gao Cheng finally walked to the top of the platform and appeared in the sight of Yuan Shanjian and a group of ***, as well as the foreign soldiers watching the ceremony.

Under the high platform, the soldiers had stopped shouting, and on the high platform, Yuan Shanjian read out the edict of abdication.

The contents of the edict spread downward through the majestic voices of the guards who stood on the steps.

On this magnificent third-level meditation platform, Gao Cheng once again took over the edict of abdication from Yuan Shanjian, he stood at the top, turned around and looked down at all the living beings, and finally couldn't hold back his smile anymore.
