Chapter 3: The Heart Is Too Cold

The next day, the enthronement ceremony.

The enthronement ceremony of the Han Dynasty generally takes about a month.

But according to the current situation, if you really wait for a month, no one knows which one of the dead countries or the new emperor will come first, so the courtiers are extremely urgent.

Wenchen wore a crown of virtue, a soap robe outside, a belt around his waist, and lined up on the east side.

The military commander wears a crown on his head, a silk robe on the outside, a sash around his waist, and a sword on his left, and ranks on the west side.

Some people want to use this to stabilize the situation and continue the Han Dynasty for another 300 years;

Some people want to be promoted and make a fortune, and they will surrender and run away in the future, so as to get promoted;

There are also people who are pure bastards, living one day at a time.

Each has its own ideas, but the most important one is the new emperor.

"The head of the dragon is to resist the temple, and the shape is majestic to the precarious...."

Yang Zhong, an old minister of the Five Dynasties, stood at the head of Wenchen and muttered a few words, and his cloudy eyes faded a little.

This poem is about Weiyang Palace, the main hall of Weiyang Palace is divided into three halls: front, middle and back, of which the middle hall is the main hall.

Ceremonies such as the enthronement of the new emperor, important court meetings, and royal weddings and funerals were all held in the main hall.

Yang Zhong has experienced the new emperor ascending the throne four times, but the last time he saw the lights of Weiyang Palace was twenty years ago.

The palace of Qiongzhou City is still temporarily arranged by the government of the Zhengpi Palace, and occasionally a few pieces of broken bricks and tiles that are not hidden are seen, like the swaying mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty.

"Please the new emperor to the palace!"

Liu Ke sat on the top, looking from top to bottom, the ministers in the palace had an unobstructed view.

And the ministers from the bottom up, they couldn't see the emperor's face clearly, they could only see the wide forehead and high eyebrows, the bridge of the nose was high, and the eyes were like deep pools, which seemed to be introverted.

Although he is young, he is extremely calm and old at this time.

is that the behavior is slightly out of line with the emperor's etiquette, and the sharp-eyed officials can still see that the little emperor seems to be sitting uncomfortably, and quietly straightens the bird.

Many people shook their heads again and again, after all, they grew up in the people, and there was little royal education.

But who made the more educated hiccup?

I heard that after the little emperor summoned Yuwen to worship yesterday, he stayed alone in the main hall all night, but I was afraid that he was also frightened.

Yuwenbai, the head of the generals, suddenly came out of the ranks, and his voice was like a bell:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live our emperor!"

The ministers also sang praises of virtue.

Shouting and shouting, but feeling that something was wrong.

It's not etiquette!

Because of the tense situation, the enthronement ceremony has been streamlined a lot, but it is impossible to omit the link of paying tribute to the ancestors, so how can you jump directly to long live my emperor?

Yang Zhong was stunned, he wrote the policy book overnight last night, everything was ready, and he was just about to come out to invite the new emperor to pay tribute to the ancestral temple, but he didn't expect Yuwen to be so ignorant of etiquette?

According to the etiquette law, the person who presided over the ceremony was Taichang, who was in charge of the rituals of the temple, and after Taichang died in battle last year, there was no one to make up for it, so that it has been hanging empty.

Most of the courtiers had a consensus that it would definitely be presided over by Yang Zhong, an old employee and auxiliary minister of the Five Dynasties who had served as Taichang, with the highest prestige.

Yu Wenbai is also an auxiliary minister, but his seniority is too different, and he is not qualified to point fingers!

Yang Zhong became short of breath, and immediately came out of the ranks, spitting out words like beads, and his hooked nose was a little sharper:

"General Yuwen is in a hurry, Your Majesty has not yet told the ancestors and ancestors, how can you congratulate?"

Yuwen Bai didn't look at him squarely, and arched his hand upwards and said:

"The minister has fulfilled his mission, and has paid tribute to his ancestors and ancestors on behalf of His Majesty!"

When Yang Zhong heard this, he was even more angry, his chest continued to rise and fall, only the royal clan could sue the ancestors and ancestors, and even the more remote clans were not qualified to do so.

What kind of thing are you?

"Heaven and earth are respectful, monarchs and ministers are different, Yuwen worships you and transgresses!"

Yang Zhong called his name and scolded Yuwen Bai angrily, but as he spoke, his emotions gradually calmed down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't hurt the peace."

Liu Ke said with a smile on his face:

"General Yuwen is my brother, and there is nothing wrong with worshipping my ancestors on my behalf."

Elder brother.... Brother??

Rao is some dissenting ministers can't help but feel a little chilled, the first emperor jumped into the water, the new emperor ascended the throne, but he recognized the ministers as brothers, the Han Dynasty, should die!

The enthronement ceremony is a big event after all, and no matter how silent and cold you are, you have to barely pull out a smile.

Liu Ke also smiled.

Sure enough, standing at the top, can you see this Manchu Dynasty civil and military clearly.

When the hall was a little quieter, Liu Kecai said:

"I ascended to the throne at the age of a weak crown, and I still need the cooperation of all my ministers to share my worries."

"If you dare to do your bestβ€”"

The ministers responded and brushed one piece at a time, not knowing how sincere they were.

"Zhuqing has a heart, and with the cooperation of our monarchs and ministers, we will definitely be able to restore the Han dynasty and return it to the old capital!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

At this time, Yuwen Bai did not retreat, and he stood in front of the ministers as if he had nothing, listening to a long live, and there was a little enthusiasm in his heart.

Suddenly, a man hurried into the temple, carrying a bow and a letter in his hand:

"Report - 100,000 urgent !!"

"What's so alarming?"

Liu Ke waved his hand: "Speak." ”

"King Zuoxian of Donghu is leading an army to attack, only ten miles away from Qiongzhou City!"

"Ten miles?"

Among the ministers, there was a small exclamation.

"Really?"

Liu Ke actually stepped down from the Luan seat, held the hand of the visitor, and said eagerly:

"The footsteps of the jackal riding east of Edom only take two hours at most for ten miles.....

There are only one or two hours left before the Han Dynasty dies!

The ministers have relatives in their hearts.

The timing of the Donghu soldiers and horses was too coincidental, just taking advantage of the opportunity of the new mourning of the first emperor, the new emperor's accession to the throne, low morale, and disharmony between the monarchs and ministers, to launch a war to destroy the country.

If you want to say that there is no news from Erchen inside, no one believes it.

There are also some courtiers who regret it even more, knowing that they should have collaborated directly with the enemy when the emperor dived, maybe they could also make a merit and surrender to Donghu like a fragrant drink.

"Colleagues, don't be impatient."

Yuwen Bai suddenly spoke out to reassure, and when he was in a panic, this rough and deafening voice really made people feel a little reassured.

When he saw his ministers looking at him, he was very satisfied, and continued:

"The pheasant is young, does not understand military affairs, and neglects government affairs, since I am a brother, I should share his worries!"

"Now that the Donghu army is attacking, if there are any further differences, they will suffer, it is better for me to do the work for me, and the regent will stop the enemy!"

Pheasant, just because of it, translator, that's our Liu Xiaoji, who is young and stupid, and he is not the material to be an emperor at all, so I come to the regent to roar or not?

The regency is more advanced than the auxiliary government, the auxiliary government is still to assist the emperor in governance, and the regent is to take the overall power, and if it goes further, it is abolished.

Yang Zhong was furious when he heard it, but after a little slowdown, it really made some sense.

If there is anyone in the Han Dynasty who can resist Donghu's inevitable offensive this time, it can only be Yuwenbai, the first warrior in the south.

At the same time, Yuwen Bai holds the power of the army, and if he is unwilling, he can basically announce the early death of the Han Dynasty.

In the past, he could still obstruct one or two on the grounds that Yuwen worship's qualifications were insufficient and that he was born in a wealthy family and was unorthodox.

But the emperor inexplicably married Yuwen Bai as brothers, and this reason no longer exists.

Whether it is from the facts or the law, no one can stop the regent of Yubunbai.

If Yuwen Bai changed to Liu Bai on the spot, he could even try to sit in that big seat.

"What do you think?"

Yuwen Bai raised his eyebrows, his tiger beard trembled slightly, and his elbow was clasped on the sword at his waist.

The ministers suddenly discovered a fact.

The only one with a blade in this hall is this Yuwen Bai, who is known as the first warrior in the south and is not brave.

Many warriors are his comrades.

And the guards outside the hall were also soldiers brought out by him.

As for the guards left by the emperor.....

It is said that last night Yuwen worshiped the Son of Heaven without authorization, and none of the group of wine bags and rice bags were released.

This means that if it is exaggerated, Yuwenbai can completely kill the entire Han court, or pack them one by one and send them to the Donghu army.

And they, the courtiers, don't even have any ability to resist.

Taken by the majesty of Yuwenbai, the ministers were all silent and did not dare to speak.

All around.

Suddenly, a person came out from the list of Wenchen, brushed his sleeves and pointed directly at Yuwenbai:

"The people who dare to fight in the DPRK and China are not the only ones who are General Yuwen!"
