Time flies, and the day of the enthronement ceremony is approaching.

On this day, Shengle, the imperial city of the Southern Dynasty, was lit up everywhere, and the original white silk had not been completely replaced, and it had already completely changed. Because, the new emperor is about to ascend the throne!

For the ordinary people of the Southern Dynasties, although they expressed sadness over the death of the old barbarian emperor, there were no other thoughts that arose. The so-called birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, even if it is a barbarian emperor, he can't escape this heavenly principle after all.

As for whether the new barbarian emperor is the second prince Yang Guang or other princes, this is not much different for ordinary people. After all, the days are still the same, anyway, they have to worship the barbarian emperor, and whoever sits in that position is the same.

The only people who really care about it are those dignitaries and dignitaries, because this is a matter related to their vital interests. The higher the official position, the greater the impact of this alternation of the old and the new.

Those who were previously reused in the hands of the old barbarian emperor may be suspicious of the new emperor and become marginal figures. In fact, this is all good, if you are unlucky, you may be directly dismissed from office because of some "trumped-up" crime, and even lose your life, affecting your family and relatives.

And those who follow the new emperor may be entrusted with important tasks in the new dynasty, and one person will attain the Tao, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven.

The so-called "once a son of heaven and a courtier", the change of identity was so sudden. But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense, after all, your own people can use it with peace of mind.

Today's imperial city is heavily guarded, not only that, but even the entire Shengle is covered with Murong's soldiers and secret sentinels in the open and in the dark, which is all instructed by Yang Guang, just to prevent anyone from making trouble.

Before, Mingya and the others broke into the imperial city at night, which had already made Deyang Guang quite unhappy, so no one dared to be lazy here. The enthronement ceremony is the top priority, and there is absolutely no room for error, if something goes wrong at this time, everyone will have to go around without food!

In the imperial city, Yang Guang, who had changed into a dragon robe, was walking surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, and the guard of honor was lined up, showing the demeanor of the Son of Heaven.

The dragon robe of the Southern Dynasty is different from that of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and its clothing style is heroic, which is also related to the atmosphere of the Southern Dynasty.

The ministers bowed their heads in front of the palace, waiting for the new barbarian emperor to ascend the throne. It's just that most of them looked a little nervous, and they were all so unnatural standing here, as if they were in some dangerous situation.

As the saying goes, "a companion is like a tiger", this barbarian emperor who is about to ascend the throne is a real fierce dragon, and even the tiger may be just a kitten in front of him.

On the bloody night of the imperial city, all the voices of opposition disappeared, and now those who can still stand here except for the original supporters of the new emperor, the rest have all chosen to give in and compromise.

When the lives of themselves and their families are really threatened, when the blood-stained steel knife is on their necks, how many people can choose to die generously?

Even if they are not afraid of death, but their wives and children are young, what are they innocent of?

Therefore, some people finally gave in, whether they really cared about their families, or they were greedy for life and afraid of death, they chose to be loyal to the new emperor and stood here.

But in any case, these people only temporarily saved their lives and official positions, and it is unknown whether they will be liquidated later.

And those who were originally loyal to Yang Guang are now full of spring breeze pride, and their arrogant demeanor is really arrogant to the extreme!

However, this is also normal, in this kind of competition for the throne, standing in line is an investment, a big gamble to fight for your life.

won, gain fame and fortune, and soar from then on; If you lose, the worst thing is to lose your head, and if you don't get it right, you will have to exterminate your family.

The risk is big, but the benefits are also big, so since ancient times, for this kind of thing, dignitaries and dignitaries have gone forward and succeeded, and they have used all the means of scheming, just to fight for a better future for themselves and future generations!

Yang Guang stepped on the red carpet step by step and walked to the dragon chair he dreamed of, the position above 10,000 people.

After taking his seat, without his signal, the eunuch on the side unfolded an edict and began to read it.

"Fengtian carried it, and the emperor's edict said: 'The second prince Yang Guang has outstanding ability, behaves decently, and is deeply heartfelt. , the legend is located in Yangguang, the successor of the barbarian emperor, Qin this! ”

After the eunuch with the voice of the male duck finished reading, the ministers below knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live"!

This is the edict of the old barbarian emperor, according to the content just now, it is indeed to pass the throne to Yangguang, in this way, it is not a broken backbone, but to obey the old barbarian emperor's last wish!

Some people think this way in their hearts, but they find a reasonable excuse for what they have done.

However, most people are not stupid and know it very well. If this edict is true, then Yang Guang can ascend the throne generously through normal means, how can there be that bloody night!

Therefore, if you want to say that there are no ghosts in it, no one believes it, and this so-called edict is also forged!

But so what, the truth of the matter is one thing, whether anyone dares to say it is another. Today's Southern Dynasty is no longer the original Southern Dynasty, with Yang Guang's ascension to the throne, this Southern Dynasty will truly become his "Yiyan Hall", and there will be no room for other voices.

Now that the people here have chosen allegiance, it is natural that they will not question it in many ways.

Then, the voice of the male duck sounded again, and said: "The enthronement ceremony has officially begun, and now, pay homage to the new emperor!" ”

In fact, the enthronement ceremony should not be so simple, a series of things to worship the heavens and ancestors are extremely cumbersome, and now Yang Guang is deliberately simplifying, just to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, I am afraid that I am also worried about the long night and dreams.

The ministers under him knelt down and shouted long live, Yang Guang looked down with satisfaction, but the corner of his eyes swept a discordant figure, he stood there, his body was straight, and he had no intention of kneeling down.

The voice of the male duck sounded: "Bold! The new emperor ascends the throne, why don't you worship! ”

The rest of the ministers also turned their heads to look, and they found that figure, it was the emperor - He Ruobi!

He is not only the teacher of the old barbarian emperor, but also the teacher of the great prince Yang Yong, whose status is extremely respected, and now he is more than seventy years old, he can be regarded as a veteran of the Southern Dynasty, and even the old barbarian emperor has to hold the gift of a disciple when he is alive. 、

Yang Guang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "He Gong, do you have something to say?" ”

He Ruobi said: "Naturally! ”

Yang Guang said: "The enthronement ceremony is imminent, can He Gong postpone it?" ”

He Ruobi said: "No! ”

Yang Guang didn't save face at all, and this style made it clear that he wanted to make trouble.

Murong Ba came out and said, "Gong He, it's better to talk about it later, if you delay Your Majesty's enthronement ceremony, I'm afraid you can't afford to bear it!" ”

This has a strong sense of threat, he is a military general, and he is not interested in this kind of powerless literati, especially this kind of patriarch who is self-assured. Now that the Southern Dynasty is no longer the Southern Dynasty it used to be, doesn't this old guy still see the situation clearly?

He Ruobi glanced at Murong Ba lightly and said, "When the old minister talks to the new emperor, how can there be room for others to interject?" ”

Murong Ba's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and there was murder in his eyes. Dealing with this bad old man who has been buried in the loess to his neck, he can kill the other party with one hand.

Just when Murong Ba couldn't help but make a move, Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "Gong He, since you insist on doing this, then please tell me!" ”

He Ruobi arched his hand and said: "The old minister thinks that he is a shallow learner, but thanks to the royal love, respected as the emperor's teacher, the old barbarian emperor respects the minister, and has always held the gift of a disciple, the old minister is always ashamed, and can only try his best to do his job to repay the emperor's kindness." ”

"Later, I was fortunate to become the teacher of the eldest prince, and I became more and more diligent, teaching and educating people, and I never dared to slack off."

"Lao Chen has no ability in this life, he can't calm the world with martial arts, he can't govern the country with literature, he is just a useless scholar and a sour rotten Confucian!"

Yang Guang frowned and said, "Gong He is humble!" ”

He knew that it was not for nothing that this old guy said such a long paragraph and made self-deprecating remarks, and it was estimated that what he really wanted to say was still to come. These literati are like this, they have always liked to do something to suppress first and then promote, and the end is annoying!

He Ruobi continued: "Lao Chen has taught the old barbarian emperor and the eldest prince successively, and the rest of the students are not a few, and they can be regarded as having some experience. ”

He looked up at Yang Guang and said, "Dare to ask the new emperor, the old barbarian emperor is now in a hurry, and you are in a hurry to ascend the throne, is this in line with etiquette?" Can it be filial piety? ”

Without waiting for Yang Guang to answer, Murong Ba shouted: "He Ruobi, you are presumptuous!" ”

Seeing him like this, it seemed that he was going to rush up and tear this old man apart directly in the next moment. However, He Ruobi looked like he didn't care at all, standing there straight, staring straight at Yang Guang.

Yang Guang smiled and said: "Gong He, it's not that I don't know the etiquette and law, but the country can't be without a king for a day, if no one presides over the overall situation for a long time, then my Southern Dynasty will be in turmoil, and when the time comes, I'm really sorry for my father!" ”

He Ruobi heard this: "In this way, the old minister's vision is shallow!" There is no way, after all, Lao Chen is just a rotten Confucian, he only knows how to read dead books, read dead books. However, the truth in the book still knows a little bit or two! ”

Suddenly, he changed his words and said: "In ancient times, if you are not virtuous, dare to ask the new emperor, is the eldest prince still there?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ministers changed greatly, this sentence is not wrong, but in today's situation, it is a big taboo, this is a proper way to die!

Who doesn't know this? But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to say it, isn't this He Ruobi going crazy, is this an illness today?

Die if you die, but don't take us with you! We still have wives and children to support, just this one life, but we can't afford to play with you!

Now the ministers are panicked in their hearts, they don't listen to the next words, they don't listen to them, they don't hear anything they shouldn't hear, and they won't be able to leave this hall today!

A cold light appeared in Yang Guang's eyes, and his voice was obviously displeased, and he said: "I really don't know the whereabouts of the imperial brother, but the inheritance of the barbarian emperor's throne is the last order of my father, do you want to question it?" ”

He Ruobi laughed and said, "I don't know!" Yang Guang, look what this is! ”

As soon as the words fell, he took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve robe and shouted: "The edict of the first emperor is here, and you will not kneel down to accept the order!" ”
