Following.

As soon as the sky was bright, many officials and eunuchs in Bianjing City seemed to have agreed, and they all opened the gates, and the courtiers wore various court clothes and walked out of the house, gathering towards the Xuande Gate from all directions.

Although it is not yet time to open the door, there are more and more civil and military officials who come to Xuande Gate.

In front of Xuande Gate, on the square paved with blue bricks and stones, the bloodstains left by the soldiers the night before have been washed away, and hundreds of corpses have also been transferred to the outside of the city for burial.

Officials dressed in purple, vermilion, and green court uniforms gathered in front of the Xuande Gate, in groups of three, in groups of five, discussing in a low voice.

The news of King Yan's rebellion had been spreading since the night before, and now that day and night have passed, even officials who are closed to the eyes and ears have basically understood the whole story.

King Yong was killed by King Yan, and King Yan died at the hands of Gu Tingye, the pioneer of quelling the rebellion, King Yong and King Yan fought to the death for the throne, and even made a mutiny to the point of forcing the palace, but in the end, no one got cheap, and they all ended up in defeat and death.

On the contrary, it was the always unknown Yuzhou regimental training that made Zhao Zongquan rise to prominence, became a profitable fisherman, and easily sat on the throne of the prince coveted by King Yong and King Yan.

There is no greater impermanence than this.

Bang bang bang!

After a long wait, I suddenly heard the sound of a salute, accompanied by the sound of the majestic and melodious morning bell, and the two side gates of the five city gates of Xuande Gate slowly opened.

Immediately, I saw a team of people slowly coming out of the side door, first of all, a vapour in a purple robe, followed by several chamberlains, and then dozens of chamberlains.

"An angel who delivers the oracle!"

Seeing the yellow silk box held in the hand of the purple-robed chamberlain in front of him, there was a commotion in the square in front of Xuande Gate.

The courtiers spontaneously gave way of the way, but their eyes kept staring at the yellow silk box containing the holy decree in the hands of the purple-robed chamberlain.

】

The purple-robed attendant held the holy decree in his hand and stood in front of the courtiers, and when he unfolded the holy decree, the square fell down.

But listening to the purple-robed attendant read:

"Since ancient times, the emperor has succeeded the heavens and established the royal area, and will establish the Yuan Prince, Maolong Guoben, and the Mianzong Society will have no borders.

I have been working hard all night, looking up to my ancestors, entrusting me to the top, bearing Ao Yanqing, and ending in Yuanliang.

Zhao Zongquan, the son of the clan, filial piety and virtue, even Xiao bowed, hereby to tell heaven and earth, Sheji, Zongmiao, awarded the treasure, set up as the crown prince, is the East Palace.

I am sick for a long time, thinking about a day and ten thousand opportunities can not be long, I hereby order the crown prince to ascend to the palace of the government, divide the affairs, raise the army and supervise the country, and the queen holds the seal right to listen to the government.

Special notice to the world, salty to smell. ”

After the holy decree was read, the square in front of Xuande Gate was quiet for half a cup of tea, and then a huge sound broke out.

The crown prince is in charge of the country, and the queen hangs the curtain.

The Son of Heaven is in the court, but he pays all the government to the crown prince and queen, which has never happened in the 150 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Being able to make such a decision for the official family shows how weak the official family's body has been after the great changes in the palace the night before, I am afraid that it is almost exhausted.

At the thought of this, the courtiers were all worried.

Of course, there are also people who are secretly excited.

The change of the throne and the transfer of power will inevitably bring large-scale shocks to the court, but it will also bring many opportunities for status jumps.

At this time, the Xuande Gate was opened, and the civil and military officials had their own concerns, and they lined up to enter.

It was supposed to be the leader of the Longtu Pavilion scholars, but one of the three scholars of the Longtu Pavilion died at the hands of the rebels, and the other two also stayed in the palace last night, and they were not here, so the leaders became the two scholars of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials.

Next to the queue of hundreds of officials, there are also several imperial historians, who are specifically responsible for picketing the discipline of hundreds of officials, including the new imperial historian, Qi Heng.

Not long after Qi Heng entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate at this time, it was the time when he was most enthusiastic about his work, and every official who passed in front of him had to look at him from top to bottom, carefully checking whether the other party's speech and demeanor were out of line.

Suddenly, Qi Heng saw a young official in a three-rank official robe hurrying from outside the door not far away, he immediately frowned, planning to write down this person and report it to Shangguan later.

It's just that when he saw the appearance of this third-grade master clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Master Wei!" ”

The person who came was Wei Chen, he went out late today, so he hurried to catch up so that he didn't miss the hour.

Qi Heng nodded slightly towards Wei Chen, but he was secretly annoyed in his heart, why didn't he even recognize Wei Chen.

Only then did he remember that Wei Chen, as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, although he was a fifth-grade court official, he could borrow third-grade uniforms.

Seeing Qi Heng, Wei Chen only nodded, and returned Qi Heng with a warm smile, and the current occasion was not suitable for greeting Qi Heng.

However, although Wei Chen didn't want to be too eye-catching, Qi Heng's "Master Wei" just now had already alarmed many courtiers.

The two groups of courtiers lined up turned their heads one after another, looking at Wei Chen with complicated eyes.

There was chaos in the palace the night before, and Wei Chen's role in it was well known.

First, the guards around the Hanlin Courtyard noticed that there was a change in the palace, and then they asked to see the official family in the starry night to warn, and then brought the blood edict and tiger talisman to highlight the encirclement and move to the rescue.

On the night of the palace change, Wei Chen's actions can be described as turning the tide and supporting the building, showing the demeanor of a wise and brave minister.

Even Gu Tingye, the second son of the Marquis of Ning Yuan, who personally shot and killed the thief leader Yan Wang, can only succumb to Wei Chen in terms of credit.

And today, the son is dying, the prince is in charge of the country, Wei Chen not only has the merit of saving the driver, but also the old man of Yuzhou, and he seems to have become the biggest beneficiary after this palace change.

Everyone understands that from now on, no matter how ups and downs the situation is, Wei Chen's position in the court will be unshakable.

Looking at this overly young upstart of the court, some people have hot eyes, some people have cold expressions, and more people are envious and jealous, in short, no one can ignore it.

Under the gaze of a group of courtiers, Wei Chen naturally walked into the train of the Hanlin Academy.

"Xingyun, you're late."

Ding Siquan in front of Wei Chen saw Wei Chen coming, turned around, lowered his voice, and said hello to Wei Chen with a smile.

Wei Chen was slightly stunned, and then replied with a smile: "I finally caught up." ”

Ding Siquan and Wei Chen are both bachelors in the Hanlin Academy, but Ding Siquan is more qualified, which overwhelms Wei Chen in the ranks, and the relationship between the two in the Hanlin Academy has always been quite delicate, belonging to the lukewarm kind.

And just now, Ding Siquan actually took the initiative to greet Wei Chen, although it was only a short sentence, but Wei Chen was keenly aware of the faint overture in the other party's tone.

Wei Chen sighed secretly in his heart, but his face was not revealed at all, he lowered his head to follow the queue, and slowly walked towards the Chongzheng Palace.
