Chapter 1: The Empress Ascends the Throne
It's night.
The gate of the summer capital.
The snow was falling, the evening breeze was cold, and the cold wind was like a knife, blowing on the face and causing pain.
The army entering the city left a mottled trail on the snow.
The generals at the head of the city, with a smile on their faces, looked at the victory of the Changning Emperor's army and returned.
Yu Qinghan took off his armor in triumph, his black hair was draped over his shoulders, and he walked in the front.
When the people in the neighborhood of the capital saw this scene, they all let out a happy discussion.
"It's the general who wins!"
"yes, she ran away with all those aliens!"
"Great, I don't have to move, I've seen a lot of people running south these days."
"Don't worry about it now, with the Admiral here, this is the safest place."
Listening to the words on the street, Yu Qinghan's body couldn't help but relax after being tired for several days.
Her phoenix eyes stared at the people on both sides of the road, and the belief in her heart was even stronger.
As long as you are in the day, you can't let the war befall the people.
She will definitely be able to put an end to this mess in the world like she did three years ago.
Thinking like this, the frame arrived at the palace in a short time.
In addition to the personal guards, the Changning Imperial Army also followed Yu Qinghan, and the other soldiers all returned to the barracks stationed in the capital for repairs.
Yu Qinghan returned to the palace.
But in the palace, there is a deathly silence, and the lights between the palaces have changed from the past.
It's dimly lit.
This made Yu Qinghan sense that something was wrong, as if he had thought of something, and frowned.
"Follow me!"
She gave an order, strode forward, and walked towards the deep palace.
The surrounding pro-soldiers all quickened their pace and followed closely.
On the road, Yu Qinghan's mood was very anxious.
Now, the indomitable spirit of the Northern Wolf's southward army has been broken by her, even if the ten northern states are still in their hands, but the capital is indeed temporarily out of the crisis.
In other words, his prestige has been achieved, and if he wants to ascend the throne, no one can stop him.
Whether it is a minister or a clan elder, they can't stop the general trend.
So for the queen mother and the young master, she planned to spare their lives.
On this joint, the last thing she wants to see.
It's just that there are more people who sacrifice.
Yu Qinghan came to Cining Palace.
The lantern at the entrance of Cining Palace is still lit, but the blood-red color with the towering vermilion wall is inexplicably permeating.
Yu Qinghan fixed his eyes.
The palace guards at the door were bleeding all over the place, and it was obvious that a tragedy had happened.
"Bang!"
She kicked open the door, and the figure of the man in black appeared in her consciousness.
Seeing that the door was opened, all the men in black looked towards the door to see who had broken in.
As soon as Yu Qinghan entered the door, he saw a graceful and luxurious woman lying in a pool of blood.
A five-year-old child was grabbed by the man in black like a little chicken, motionless, and his breath had already dissipated.
His pupils shrank, and a nameless anger surged into Yu Qinghan's heart.
The mana quickly converged, and a palm shot out of the air.
The voice is fierce and fierce.
The terrifying force directly knocked several black-clothed people upside down and flew out, hitting the palace wall without a sound.
Yu Qinghan's figure moved, and instantly caught the child's body.
At the same time, there was luck in his heart, and he probed the snort of the woman on the ground.
It's a pity that the person on the ground is already a cold corpse.
"Qinghan, what are you doing here?"
A magnetic middle-aged man's voice came from inside the hall.
Pei Ming, the king of Changning, walked out of the main hall at this time, his face was very unhappy.
Yu Qinghan's expression was cold, and he asked:
"Why did you kill the Queen Mother and the Young Master?"
"Why? They are your future troubles, if you don't keep the heart of the new emperor's dead party, you have some bad thoughts, if you don't get rid of it at this time, when will you get rid of it? ”
Pei Ming said lightly.
"But I have promised them a way to live, and this is disobeying my orders?"
Although Yu Qinghan's tone was calm, it was full of a terrifying momentum.
The calmer it is, the more angry it is.
"Qinghan, I want you to think clearly, who supported you to this point, is it possible that you have to turn your head against me for the sake of the enemy?"
Pei Ming said coldly.
In his opinion, he just did a simple thing.
Keep the queen mother and the young master, and I am afraid of disaster in the future.
It's better to kill it now, so as not to become a pawn of some well-intentioned people.
But in Yu Qinghan's eyes, this undoubtedly touched her bottom line.
Pei Ming ignored her orders and made his own decisions, which already explained something.
If something similar happens in the future, what should be done?
Could it be that Chengdu can't do it?
If this time bomb is not resolved, her right to speak in the court in the future will inevitably be restricted.
But no matter what, the other party is also his uncle.
Besides, with Pei Xiangyun's relationship, it is even more difficult for him to move.
Thinking of this, Yu Qinghan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Seeing her like this, Pei Ming had an ominous premonition in his heart.
He had a vague feeling.
Yu Qinghan was about to break out of his grip soon.
The Changning Emperor's army went north and held on to the capital, these were what he wanted to see, so he didn't interfere too much.
But when he saw her open to the Queen Mother's mother and son, he felt that it was inappropriate.
If you think about it, she is now a trend.
Whether it is prestige or popular support, they are on her side, including the power of the army.
If you want to, you really don't have much chance of winning.
At the beginning, it was with the support of the two monks of the dragon and tiger that the other party was forced to agree to the conditions of the emperor.
Now the two monks of Dragon and Tiger have achieved their goal, but they are leaving themselves.
Obviously, the person who Xiaolingyin Temple has a fancy to is Yu Qinghan, not him.
Is he considered to have been put on a position by the people of Xianmen?
"I hope that next time, nothing like that will happen."
Yu Qinghan glanced at Pei Ming with deep eyes and warned.
Then he turned and walked away.
Pei Ming looked at her back, and his face couldn't help but be gloomy.
"Lord, the princess's tone is so impulsive, it seems that she is already dissatisfied with you, the prince."
The subordinates on the side said fearfully.
"Do you still have to say that?"
"But what is the way, this throne must be sat by my good niece, and I can only think of other ways in the future."
On the ninth day of the lunar month, Xiaohan.
The heavy snow finally stopped for several days, and the entire imperial city of the summer capital was covered in snow.
Under the eaves of every household in the capital, there is a long string of ice edges, which resemble sharp teeth, the thickness of the forearm, and the crystal clear.
The New Year is coming, and many people are diligent in preparing New Year's goods.
No matter what, it has been almost four years since the founding of Great Xia, and it will only take ten days.
In fact, as early as when Emperor Taizu was here, the Xia Kingdom had been established for three or four years, but the territory at that time was not as vast as it is now.
Da Yan and Xia Guo still confronted each other for a few years.
In the end, it was the Xia State that won and inherited the unification.
But now, somehow, feng shui takes turns.
It was only four years after the founding of the former Great Xia, and two emperors passed away at once.
It can be described as turmoil in China, and the people are terrified.
But the people in the city heard that Great Xia was about to usher in a third emperor.
Today is the day of the enthronement ceremony.
In the palace, the palace is magnificent, row upon row, high attics, stacked layer by layer, close to the sky, fixed by a golden pillar coiling dragon, looks incomparably majestic, here is hundreds of miles away is the territory of the palace.
The towering vermilion wall is like an insurmountable chasm, preventing the world from peeking into the secrets of the palace.
The Xia capital was the capital of Dayan in the previous dynasty, with a history of 500 years.
Five hundred years ago, Yanzu went to the east and the west, first punished the evil demons, then destroyed the demons, and then determined the position of the first person in the Ding Xianmen, and finally swept Liuhe and unified the world.
The reason why Yanzu chose this treasure land at the beginning was because it was a place where the stars were shining, the sky was dependent on crape myrtle, the ground was connected to the Ling Mountain, and the feng shui was excellent.
The so-called "crape myrtle" represents the lord of the stars, the lord of the emperor, and the meaning of sitting on the world.
This place is close to the Lingshan, so there are few demons raging, and the water in the imperial capital is taken from the Lingshan, and the clear blue water first flows through the Lingshan, and then slowly flows into the summer capital.
At the center of the palace is the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, which is where the emperor lived his daily life.
At this time, in front of the bronze mirror, there was a woman standing.
The sun is rising and gradually brightening, hanging in the sky above the capital, making the mirror sparkle.
Yu Qinghan shed his clothes, revealing a snow-white back, slender thighs, and a tall figure.
She stretched out her fingers, white as jade, and stroked them over the scar under her collarbone, thoughtful.
Eight palace maids were waiting around her, dressing her in newly made clothes.
A wide red fire phoenix emperor skirt, with complicated gilt patterns, the length covered the bare feet.
Great Xia belongs to the fire virtue, so the main body of the dragon robe is red.
Yu Qinghan finally put on the emperor's robe, but she looked at herself in the mirror with an expressionless face.
Then, the palace maids took out daiyan, huadian, rouge box, makeup powder and other supplies, ready to dress her up.
Attend the enthronement ceremony later.
Dai Yan grinding, used to hook the eyebrows, so that Yu Qinghan's willow eyebrows, Danfeng eyes are sharper, rouge lips, making the red lips as arrogant as fire.
The long black hair was coiled on the top of his head, fixed by a jade hairpin with phoenix wings spread, and with a heavy imperial crown, the whole person was more solemn.
Soon, the makeup was done.
Yu Qinghan's whole person looks noble and cold, like an iceberg.
The majesty contained in the phoenix eyes is like a high emperor, sacred and inviolable.
It took a long time to complete the work, and the palace maids bowed and said:
"Princess, it's time to ascend the throne."
"Got it."
Yu Qinghan spoke lightly, his voice was beautiful, but with a hint of coldness and dumbness.
The throne that could not be fought for three years ago is now sent to him like this.
But she couldn't be happier.
Along.
The palace maid dragged the long imperial skirt until she walked into the door of the Tianyou Palace.
Tianyou Hall is the place of sacrifice in Great Xia, extremely empty, occupies a radius of nearly a thousand meters, and when you look up, there is only a neat and symmetrical palace.
No matter how empty it is, at this moment of the enthronement ceremony, it is overcrowded.
Great Xia put together the ceremonies of succession, enthronement, and worship of heaven and earth.
Yu Qinghan's delicate face was extremely solemn, standing on the high platform of the Heavenly Blessing Palace, overlooking everyone.
The personnel had already arrived, waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to recite the manuscript that had been prepared in advance.
"Since the founding of Taizu, there have been eight wildernesses, and the emperor and saint are good"
"But now it's a barbarian, and the wolves are looking around."
After the lengthy ceremony, the official finally announced:
"The new emperor ascends the throne, the world is amnesty, and the Yuan is changed."
As soon as the words fell, a deafening loud voice sounded below.
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
The ministers bowed, and the five bodies fell to the ground.
Great Xia finally ushered in an empress.
Just after the ceremony was over.
"Huh!"
A loud phoenix cry sounded.
Yu Qinghan seemed to feel something, and his pretty face raised.
Above the capital, a steady stream of flames condensed, and the phoenix nirvana.
The Nine Flame Lotus bloomed, revealing the face of a divine bird.
Nine-tailed feathers, three-crowned phoenix head.
The movement of the national fortune vision was extremely great, which caused the shock of the ministers at the scene.
This is the ancient phoenix, which is rumored to be the top existence in mythology in ancient times, and you must know that the phoenix is also divided into levels.
The red phoenix, the yellow bird, the green luan, the purple pearl, and the white bird are all phoenixes, among which the red one is the most respectful, and it is the king of the phoenix.
This is the new national fortune of the transformation of Great Xia, Jiuling Red Phoenix.
The red phoenix roared in the sky and flew with its wings spread.
The warm power enveloped the entire Great Xia Capital, making the people in the city look up at the sky and look sideways.
"Good omen! What a good omen! ”
"God bless the Great Xia, God bless the Great Xia!"
"With this divine bird, it means that my Great Xia is about to usher in a prosperous era!"
When many of the old ministers of Daxia saw this scene, their faces were filled with tears of excitement.
Whether it is a young newcomer or an old minister of the Three Dynasties, they are all phoenixes looking at the sky with a hopeful face.
Now, as soon as the empress ascends the throne, the fortunes of the country will be decided, and the red dragon will turn into a phoenix, which is definitely an amazing auspicious omen!
"Whoa!"
After the red phoenix soared, it turned into a river of fire and came towards Yu Qinghan.
All the flames of the river of fire drilled into her body.
It wasn't long before the sky returned to calm.
On the forehead, a fire-like pattern appeared.
Yu Qinghan felt the new powerful power influx in his body, and he was also very surprised.
Her cultivation has actually risen a lot.
Directly broke through the middle stage, came to the late stage of foundation building, and will soon be able to break through again.
The immortal spirit root of the complete body allowed her to cultivate, and she could grow a thousand miles a day.
There are simply no bottlenecks at all.
As long as there is enough time, she is confident that cultivating to the point of transforming into a god will definitely not be a problem, and it can even be higher.
Yu Qinghan quickly came back to his senses, looked at the ministers below, looked solemn, and issued the first imperial decree.
"Spread my will, recruit government soldiers, release taxes, recuperate, recuperate, repair the armor, and fight the northern wolf again in the coming year."
"Second, Jinzhou was promoted to Jinzhou Mansion and was personally governed by the imperial court."
"Third, within the four seas, we must find a man who will be of great use to me, and his appearance will be drawn by the Guozijian in a while."
Hearing the holy decree, the ministers looked at each other, very puzzled.
As soon as he ascended the throne, His Majesty issued three imperial orders in a row.
The first one is okay to say, understandable, what do the last two mean?
"Do you hear that?"
Yu Qinghan's majestic voice came, full of undoubts.
The ministers were awe-struck in their hearts, and hurriedly bowed and said:
"Yes!"
After making the order, Yu Qinghan went back to the palace to rest.
On the way, she looked at the splendid palace, but she couldn't arouse any interest.
"Vomit"
Suddenly, Yu Qinghan felt nauseous, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't.
"What's going on?"
She frowned, wondering to herself.
Hurriedly checked his physical condition.
There is no problem with the meridians, the sea of qi, and the sea of knowledge.
What went wrong with that?
Suddenly, she was stunned.
It seems to realize something.
