Chapter 32: The Enthronement Ceremony
On this day, the palace was much more lively than usual.
There was an endless stream of all kinds of dignitaries, and countless young palace maids held trays in their hands, constantly serving food towards a large table that could not be seen at a glance.
There is a staircase directly in front of the table, and if you go up the stairs, you will see a platform.
And this platform is the very center of the palace, the court of the courtiers!
Everyone on the scene, just take out one, it is a big man who can stir up the entire Tianyuan Dynasty.
And look at the smiles on their faces, and the countless delicacies on the table.
Where can you see that this dynasty is going through an unprecedented war!
And the reason why this place is so lively is because today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne.
The incoming emperor is called Liu Yun and is an uncle of Liu Quan.
It is said that this guy made a mistake in the early years and was demoted to a commoner by the Red Kite Emperor, that is, his elder brother.
But I don't know how those traitors operated.
actually got this guy back and gave him a nominal emperor.
This guy is chubby and has "wisdom" in his eyes.
At this time, I was trying on the dragon robe, but because the size was too large, after several modifications by the tailor, I still couldn't wear it.
He angrily threw the dragon robe directly to the ground.
"What's going on? Let you revise it again and again! Or is it not good to change? ”
In front of him, a man in long black sleeves knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
"Your Majesty, the minion really did his best, or change that one."
"Useless dog thing! Get out of here!"
After the tailor walked away, Liu Yun picked up the dragon robe from the ground.
"Brother Huang, Brother Huang, I still remember that I said that one day I would wear the dragon robe on your body, but you were angry and demoted me to a commoner.
I didn't expect that after so many years, when I thought I could wear it, I still couldn't put it on. ”
After saying that, he shook his head and put away the dragon robe.
"Well, let him pass through the past."
Then he took a loose dragon robe from the side, and after being served by the palace maid and put it on, he tightened his belt and tried to make his belly small.
"From now on, I am the emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty!"
Thinking of this, a grim smile appeared on his face.
This was a few days ago, and he couldn't have imagined that he would return to the palace and become the new emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is what Lord Zuo asked me to give you, saying that it should be read during the enthronement ceremony."
A eunuch walked in slowly, holding a rolled-up piece of paper in his hand.
Hearing the three words of Lord Zuo, Liu Yun's brows furrowed slightly.
Obviously, he knows better than anyone what he is as an emperor.
The frown only stretched out in an instant.
He smiled.
"Is it Zuo Aiqing's order? I'll have to take a good look at that. ”
When I opened this paper, it was full of cumbersome classical Chinese.
Most of them are high-sounding words, but these are secondary, and the main content can be translated in a vernacular.
Those ministers who are attached to the Zuo family are all promoted, and the other ministers are all suppressed, and what should be dealt with will be dealt with.
After reading the above content, Liu Yun's face darkened again.
He is not stupid, so he can naturally realize the problem reflected in the above content.
Of course, he could also think about what kind of impact he would have on the future of the Tianyuan Dynasty if he really did this.
But could he not do it?
Since the other party has a way, let himself become the emperor of a person who has been reduced to a commoner.
Then there must be a way to make someone else emperor.
If you don't listen to these people, what will happen to you?
Think of your nephew who died mysteriously.
Those people don't even want to find a decent excuse.
Even the corpse was burned, and even the autopsy could not be done.
So there is only one way in front of him, that is, to be this emperor and bear the black cauldron for the decline of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and walked towards the door.
"It's almost time, it's time to go to the throne."
As the soon-to-be-enthroned emperor appeared, everyone present stopped their movements and looked at him.
They didn't kneel down and salute, because according to the rules of the Tianyuan Dynasty, only after the enthronement ceremony was over, was the real emperor!
Liu Yun enjoyed the supreme honor and walked to the high platform step by step.
He looked at the people below who were usually extremely tall, and at this time they were as small as ants in his eyes.
Immediately afterward, he began to give an impassioned speech.
Although he said it was a painting of voices, but in order for those below to hear, it was all carried by the eunuchs with loud voices.
This also led to the sharp voice of the eunuch in every sentence, and the listener was extremely uncomfortable.
Just after he had finished speaking, he took a torch from the eunuch beside him.
According to the tradition of the Tianyuan Dynasty, he had to burn the dragon pattern representing the previous emperor, and then engrave his own dragon pattern in the main hall, and the enthronement ceremony was completed.
With a torch in hand, he felt nervous like never before.
Just as the torch was about to light Liu Quan's dragon pattern, a voice sounded.
"Wait! I'm not dead! There was no abdication either! How can a new emperor be established? ”
Everyone was startled by the voice and followed it.
There, a young man wore a dragon robe with the symbol of the emperor, his hands behind his back, and his eyes were full of majesty.
Many of the people present are high-ranking officials who need to go to court every day, how could they not know this young man.
Isn't this the young emperor who was once used as an ornament, Liu Quan?
It is hard to imagine that the temperament of such a young man is actually not inferior to any emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
With every step he took, those who were closer to him instinctively retreated.
Then, a man in the crowd named Xia Sihao knelt down and shouted.
"The ministers have seen Your Majesty!"
One man took the lead, and the others knelt down and shouted in unison.
Liu Yun on the stage was stupid.
There are too many of his royal brothers, nephews, etc.
So much so that he didn't recognize it at all.
In addition, when he was demoted to a civilian, Liu Quan was only three or four years old, so it was naturally impossible to know Liu Quan.
He didn't know him, but he knew it.
He panicked when he heard the loud voices of the people below.
Could it be that his dream of being an emperor is about to be shattered?
Looking back on the life he had lived for so many years, he really didn't want to go back to that kind of life.
At this moment, a man came out from among the ministers.
This man had two long beards, he squinted, looked at Liu Quan for a long time, and then said.
"You are very similar to the former emperor, but if you look closely, there is still a big difference, and you are really almost in the way of this kid."
After the minister said this, many people stood up and agreed.
"Yes, I also looked carefully, the first emperor didn't look like this at all, we were all deceived."
"You fart! Isn't this our emperor? What emperors? Your Majesty hasn't abdicated yet, isn't this not dead? ”
"Eh, if that's the case, then think that this is His Majesty Weiyuan's is on my side, and think that this is not His Majesty's Weiyuan's is on your side?"
