"Hehe, jealous?" Xiao Yunhe smiled and handed over the child to the wet nurse, and also hugged the daughter in Wu Yuelin's hand, and praised it with a sigh, "Yuelin, this is really worthy of our daughter." The future grows up. It must be a first-class beauty. The first beauty in Daqi is none other than her! Look at her eyes and nose, they are almost exactly the same as you. ”

Wu Yuelin smiled quietly and said softly: "I'm not as good as my sister, I didn't give you a son......

"The daughter was nice. Very good!" Xiao Yunhe said happily, "My daughter is gentle and sensible. I know how to feel sorry for my father and mother. ”

Both children woke up, probably hungry, and they both cried at the top of their lungs. The Mingde Hall of the East Palace was lively. Xiao Yunhe hurriedly called the nurse to serve the two little ancestors. Mo Yi and Wu Yuelin traveled thousands of miles all the way, and they were a little tired. After the excitement of the first meeting, the two daughters felt a little tired.

The three of them sat down by the fire, snuggling up to each other. Xiao Yunhe hugged left and right, warm and fragrant and full of jade beauties in his arms, and finally found that long-lost warmth.

"My lord, my son is more than half a year old, and my daughter is more than three months old, and I don't have a name yet. Mo Yi leaned his head on Xiao Yunhe's shoulder and said lazily, "Now that they have finally met their father, should you also name them?"

"Don't worry, I'm ready for a long time. Xiao Yunhe smiled, his eyes narrowed, and said, "My son is the eldest son, so I have to have a stable and atmospheric name." I thought about it for a long time and thought that Li Duo was a good name. The priest is not only a musical instrument, but also a warning instrument used to announce government decrees and regulations. By extension, it means to be vigilant, abide by, and check one's words and deeds. What do you think?"

Mo Yi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I don't have as much knowledge as you, but I heard you say that this name is really good." As the eldest son, he wants to set an example for his younger siblings, and his words and deeds are the most important. Sister Yuelin, what do you think?"

Wu Yuelin smiled and said, "If the adults and sisters are satisfied, then it will be fine." In fact, if you want me to say, as long as you are safe and healthy, it is better than anything else. So, it's better to give Shizi another nickname, let's call him Kang'er? When my sister and I were in Xichuan, I always called him that. ”

Xiao Yunhe nodded in response and praised: "Very good." The name Li Duo, take the word line, and he can also take another word in the future. The nickname, just called Kang Moyi and Wu Yuelin are naturally happy, this son finally has a name. Then he said, "What about the daughter?"

"Daughter?" Xiao Yunhe's shadow immediately flashed in his heart. I remember that when she was brought in, Xiao Yunhe put a precious night pearl in her coffin as a souvenir to express her sorrow. Once upon a time, he often fantasized about how great it would be if she could be his daughter again? ”

"Li Zhu'er, what a beautiful name!" Wu Yuelin smiled with satisfaction. hugged Xiao Yunhe's arm tighter, and said softly, "Just when the three of them were talking about each other, Ju Wenzhen said outside the door: "My lord, Duan Wang Fu Wu Zhongru and his wife ask to see him." ”

"Father and mother are here!" Wu Yuelin was suddenly excited. Xiao Yunhe stroked her back and said lightly, "Let's go, let's go and meet them together." I think your parents miss you very much. I must have just heard the news and braved the snow to meet you. ”

Wu Zhongru and Wu's mother walked anxiously back and forth at the entrance of the Mingde Palace, shaking off the snow on their heads and shoulders. Xiao Yunhe and the two concubines came out, and the Wu couple were about to bow down. Xiao Yunhe naturally exempted them from etiquette, saying that family members don't have to worry about vulgarity when they get together.

Mother Wu saw her baby daughter at a glance who she hadn't seen for several years. couldn't help but take her into his arms and choked up and cried. Wu Yuelin also missed her mother for a long time, and cried like a child in her mother's arms. Wu Zhongru blamed Wu's mother with excitement and resentment on the side: "Look at you, I don't let you come with me, I have to come." What does it look like to cry on a good day?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled: "Mother and daughter have a deep relationship. It's also human nature. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please enter the palace when it's cold outside, you haven't seen your granddaughter Zhu'er yet, right? ”

"Zhu'er, what a name!" the Wu family couple happily took Wu Yuelin's hand. They entered the Mingde Hall together.

Mo Yi gently followed behind Xiao Yunhe, silent. Xiao Yunhe glanced back at her, grabbed her waist and said, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Mo Yi smiled lightly and said, "Seeing Sister Yuelin reunited with her parents, I suddenly felt a little sad. My parents have left me, and my hometown is thousands of miles away. Here in the Central Plains, I only have one cousin, Dugufan. ”

"You're stupid. Isn't there still me and Kang'er?" Xiao Yunhe hugged her tighter and said, "We are the closest relatives in the world." And you have not forgotten that Tang Zidi slipped away to the national capital with Song Liangchen, and I married them not long ago. I believe it won't be long before she gets the news. I'll come to the East Palace to see you. Aren't you one more sister?"

"Zidi married Song Liangchen?" Mo Yi immediately giggled. "The two of them really looked at each other. That's right...... Originally, Wu Qiyun's sister has always been by my side. However, when she was only twenty miles away from the capital, her brother sent someone to pick her up first, and did not let her enter Beijing with us. Why did Wu Yuanheng do this? The girl of the Wu family is smart and kind, and she is very intimate with me, and I like her very much. ”

Xiao Yunhe pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "He always has his reasons for doing things, don't think too much." Let's go inside, it's a good day to reunite with relatives. ”

"Hmm!" Mo Yi smiled and leaned lightly against him.

The family reunion, coupled with two more children, is naturally unusually affectionate, and the atmosphere is relatively warm. Not long after, the purple flute with a big belly and a full circle of fat also came. When she saw Moyi, she shouted in surprise. The two sisters hugged each other and rejoiced.

The snow in the sky is still flying, but the east palace is a ball of spring, warm and warm. A sumptuous banquet was put on the table, and while the family enjoyed it, Xiao Yunhe and Moyi also played music to cheer up. Wu Yuelin, who had not been active for a long time after giving birth, danced in person, which amazed everyone.

At night, the Mingde Hall is still bustling. Wu Zhongru is a careful person, and he keeps urging his wife to dare to go home quickly, don't stay here and bother. But Wu's mother was very reluctant to be her baby daughter and granddaughter who had just met, she held Li Zhuer and refused to let go, and kept pulling Wu Yuelin to talk about homely things. Xiao Yunhe naturally didn't want to urge anything, so he let their mother and daughter talk to their heart's content.

After a while, Wu Yuelin walked up to Xiao Yunhesheng and whispered in his ear, "My lord, can you allow me to accompany my mother home for one night today?"

Xiao Yunhe was slightly stunned: "But...... We've just met?"

Wu Yuelin smiled slightly, and continued to whisper: "At night, let Sister Moyi accompany you...... I want to go home and spend time with my mother. Tomorrow, you can send Zhang Che'er to pick me up at Wu Mansion, and I won't delay for too long." Anyway, my family lives close. ”

Xiao Yunhe suddenly understood in his heart, glanced at Wu Yuelin gratefully, and nodded: "It's okay." Today, you will go home and spend time with your mother. I think you haven't been back to the capital for a few years, so you must be homesick. Tomorrow, if I have time, I will personally go to the Wu Mansion to pick you up. ”

Wu Yuelin bowed with a smile and returned to her mother. Mother Wu was very happy when she learned that the prince had allowed her daughter to go home.

Xiao Yunhe saw it in his eyes, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he secretly said in his heart: Wu Yuelin is really a good woman who is gentle and kind, meticulous as hair, and generous. She wants to go home after a long absence, in addition to being filial to her mother, but more to take care of Moyi, and not to make it difficult for me.

Tonight, it seems to belong to me and Moyi...... Xiao Yunhe turned his head to look at Mo Yi and found that her face was also slightly red, and he cast a grateful look at Wu Yuelin.

Xiao Yunhe thought with relief in his heart: It is also my blessing that the two of you can get along so well. Rest assured, I won't treat you badly.

His wife and children returned to his side, and Xiao Yunhe felt that life began to become rich and colorful. For a long time, he felt like a puppet, a puppet carrying a thousand pounds of weight. Every day, we are faced with those national affairs, and every day we have to deal with those anxious trivial matters. Hardly a day is spent living for himself. A lot of time, when he is busy and stops, he will feel boundless emptiness and loneliness.

It turns out that the king who dominates the world is also a mortal body. You need real fun to spice up your life, and you need family affection to melt your anxiety. Family affection has always been an irreplaceable magical force. The old man, his uncle and adoptive father, as well as those brothers and sisters of the royal family, uncles and grandmothers, have no family affection at all in Xiao Yunhe's eyes, and even when facing those idle dragon sons and grandsons, he will inevitably feel a little depressed and disgusted in his heart. Only Mo Yi and Wu Yuelin, as well as the flesh and blood they gave birth to for themselves, are the real family affection. When he is with them, he will feel what is the real joy of family. Life, as if it was only at this time that it became complete.

After a few days, the sky finally cleared. The heavy snow began to melt away, and the sun's rays were unusually dazzling. The frozen imperial capital began to gradually regain its vitality. The soldiers of the common people began to clear the snow in the city and the palace. Caravans of cars and caravans appeared on Suzaku Avenue, and the shops in the West Market gradually became lively.

When the east wind blows, people seem to smell the smell of spring in the air. In the garden of the East Palace, some branches have already pulled out their buds.

The new year has begun.

Xiao Yunhe spent a few days with his wife and children in the East Palace, and spent the most comfortable time in the past year or two. After the sky cleared, the public holiday of the court just ended. Officials in all provinces and ministries began to conduct official business in a step-by-step manner. The bell and drum tower in front of the Taiji Hall plays bells and drums every day, directing the brain of Daqi to carry out various tasks.

The eighth day of the second month. The days are not far off. In everyone's heart, they are silently waiting for this day to come. From this day on, the history of Daqi will turn a new page. The entire dynasty will take a different path under the leadership of a new monarch.

In Xiao Yunhe's heart, he was thinking about something that had given him a headache for a long time: Lihou, and Lichu.

In all fairness, in terms of personal feelings. Xiao Yunhe is absolutely willing to sit alone on the edge of his dragon chair and dominate the world with him. But he also knows very well that this matter in the future is not something that can be decided entirely based on personal preference. Even if he was the emperor, he couldn't. Especially. It is necessary to establish a woman like Moyi, who has no foundation in the national capital, has barbarian blood, and is born in a barbarian state. The scholars of the world and the doctors of the court have very good reason not to approve of his approach. Now it seems that the two women around him are Wu Yuelin who is most likely to be made the queen. It's a pity that her belly is not angry, and she has not added a son to him so far. A queen who did not give birth to a prince. It is also unqualified.

So, he felt a little tricky. The day of his accession to the throne was approaching day by day, but he had never made up his mind.

Xiao Yunhe decided. Go meet Li Mian. Li Mian is not only his teacher, but also the highest-ranking clan member of the Li family. Listening to his opinion may be instructive.

After a cold winter, Li Mian seemed to be getting older. When Xiao Yunhe came to see him, Li Mian could hardly get up and salute, but could only lean on the pillow and wipe his forehead with his hand, symbolically seeing the salute. His body was covered with six or seven thick quilts, and the whole room was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

"Xuan Qinggong. Have you ever been healthy?" Xiao Yunhe sat on the edge of the couch and looked at Li Mian with some concern.

Li Mian's thin face can almost be seen in the shape of a skeleton, and there is no trace of flesh. Dull eyes, messy hair. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a man who is about to die.

"Very good, very good. Li Mian said in a thick and slow voice. "Prince Lao has personally come to visit. The old decay has run out of oil and dried up, and he survived this winter, just waiting to see the adults ascend the throne with his own eyes. Come to think of it, the days are short, right?"

"Hmm...... There are about ten days left. Xiao Yunhe tucked the quilt for him and said, "Duke Xuanqing is seriously ill, why didn't he send someone to inform the students? Later, I will send a few imperial doctors to take a look at Xuan Qinggong. ”

"No, no. Li Mian waved his hand vigorously, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "Whoever comes, I can't see any illness." People live for seventy years, and I am already seventy and two, and God only thought of calling me back at this time, which can be regarded as giving enough face. My own body, my own clear. People are going to go after all. I am very lucky to have lived to see my lord ascend the throne as emperor today. Old Master Yan, there is no such blessing as old decay, hehe!"

Xiao Yunhe sighed softly and said, "Duke Xuanqing, you have to take care of your body. Even if I ascend the throne, I still have a lot to ask you. In front of me, there is a very tricky matter that makes me suspenseful. Therefore, the students specially wanted to ask Xuan Qinggong what he meant. ”

A slight flash of starlight flashed in Li Mian's dim old eyes, and he said, "The prince said to listen to it?"

"It's about the matter of the establishment of the queen and the establishment of the reserve after I ascended the throne. Xiao Yunhe said, "The queen mother is in charge of the harem, and the prince is the foundation of the country. These two candidates make me in a dilemma. So, I would like to ask Xuan Qinggong to share your opinion. ”

Xiao Yunhe was worried that he couldn't hear clearly behind his ears, so he deliberately got closer. After Xiao Yunhe finished speaking, he immediately lay down again, and even closed his eyes.

For a long time, Li Mian didn't say a word. If it weren't for the slight breath blowing the long beard under his chin, Xiao Yunhe would have thought that he had returned to heaven.

"Xuanqing Gong ?......," Xiao Yunhe asked softly in confusion.

Li Mian slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Yunhe solemnly, and said, "Since ancient times, they have been inseparable. Prince, I can give you ideas for anything. Only this one, can't. Although old decay is dying, my children and grandchildren still have to live. I can't let them fall into trouble because of a momentary gaffe. So. I hope you can forgive me. ”

Xiao Yunhe sighed softly and nodded, "I understand." I don't force Xuan Qinggong. He thought to himself: Since ancient times, no matter how close a courtier is, he has not dared to express his opinion on such a thing. At the beginning, Wu Yuanheng also had such an attitude. Li Mian would be like this, and Xiao Yunhe didn't feel anything strange. Who can know who will be in charge of the country in a few decades? It would be better if it was the prince Li Mian said at that time; if not...... It's hard to say that no one will settle accounts with his descendants after the autumn. This kind of thing. It is not uncommon among the royal family and ministers. This is not something that can be summed up clearly by a cowardly and fearful sentence. Originally, interfering in the family affairs of the royal family was one of the taboos for the courtiers.

Li Mian seemed to be a little tired, closed his eyes and rested for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "Old people can't take any ideas for adults. However, there is one person who can. in this world. This is the only person who can give ideas to adults. ”

"Who is it?"

"The Emperor of the Day. Li Mian said, "Although he is only a nominal emperor now, he ...... For things like you want to establish a queen and a reserve, he can still give you some guidance. Let's go to the Daming Palace to meet the emperor. Maybe there will be unexpected harvests. ”

Xiao Yunhe nodded plausibly: "Student, just listen to Xuan Qinggong." ”

After bidding farewell to Li Mian, Xiao Yunhe walked into the imperial city with some hesitation.

Do you really want to see that useless old man? such an unassertive man. Can you make up your own mind?

It's okay to go for a casual walk without hope, which should be regarded as a sign of respect for Li Mian.

After a year, the old man gained a lot of weight. He sat by the fire with a thick fur coat on his body, and looked at Xiao Yunhe with a red face.

"Father, that's probably what happened. Xiao Yunhe failed to tell the old man about the matter of Lichu and Lihou, as well as what he wanted in his heart. Then, he looked at him fixedly.

The old man rolled his eyes a few times. He coughed dryly and said, "You...... Haven't you always been very assertive? Why did you think of asking me about this kind of thing?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled bitterly: "It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs. In my opinion, everything in the world is easy to do, but this thing is not so easy to do. After all, the back of the hand and the palm of the hand are all meat, and no one is treated badly. You are my father. I can only hope that you can show me the way. ”

The old man smiled and stroked his beard a little smugly. Then he said: "As you said, you yourself like the barbarian girl of Dugu Moyi more, but from the perspective of the shape, Wu Yuelin is more suitable to be made the queen." However, this Wu Yuelin didn't give you a son...... It's a lot of trouble. Since it's so troublesome, then simply ...... None of them are standing. ”

"Don't stand?" Xiao Yunhe frowned, "Neither stand up, nor stand up?"

"yes, what's the big deal?" said the old man, grinningly, "my father didn't have a queen back then. My mother was posthumously crowned queen after she returned to heaven. As for me, as the eldest son of the emperor, I was only made the crown prince at the age of twenty-four. Isn't that normal? I don't think there's anything tricky about it. ”

Xiao Yunhe was suddenly stunned: It's really a bystander! The old man's seemingly stupid method seems to be quite suitable. More than 100 years have passed since Daqi, and I am still used to the practices of the early Tang Dynasty: to establish a reserve immediately and as soon as possible. In recent years, these practices have changed...... I've been ignoring this!

After not standing, the four concubines of the harem will sit on an equal footing; if they do not establish a prince, then all princes will be treated equally. I think that at the beginning, I was also in a hurry to establish a prince, and as a result, I set up my eldest son Li Chengqian...... Later, this bastard became more and more angry, and even rebelled. If I can later Hitachi Reserve, can I have some better choices? This matter obviously has pros and cons, but how to balance and how to choose, I believe I should be able to handle it well!

The old man blinked a few times and looked at Xiao Yunhe, and said suspiciously: "What's the matter, do you think this is inappropriate? Then you should make Lonely Moyi the queen." Anyway, she also gave birth to the emperor's eldest son for you. It's just that in the future, no one can guarantee whether your eldest son will be a successful weapon, nor can there be any guarantee that this barbarian girl will be disgusted by the people of the world. You don't have to decide this kind of big thing based on your own likes and dislikes. This time, you might as well listen to me: after not standing for the time being, not for the time being. Wait for more than ten or twenty years, and after a long time, you will see people's hearts, and you will go with the flow. ”

"Go with the flow, it makes sense. Xiao Yunhe nodded again and again, arched his hand and bowed a few times, "Thank you for mentioning it!"

"Well, it's easy to say, it's easy to say. The old man's fat face smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he was quite proud. Then he said leisurely, "In a few days, it will be the great day of your accession to the throne." When the ceremony pays tribute to the ancestors and ancestors, I hope you don't panic. Everyone wants to sit on this dragon chair, but in reality, it is not so easy to sit on. Whether or not I can explain to my ancestors and ancestors at that time is none of my business. From that moment on, all the weight will be on your shoulders. And I was completely liberated. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly and said, "Father, the emperor can enjoy happiness in the Daming Palace with peace of mind." It's up to me to do all the work. Since I have chosen this path, I have never thought of regretting it. In the future, when I go underground and face the ancestors and ancestors, I believe that I will be able to be confident. ”

"You can do the best you can. The old man said in a long voice nonchalantly, "I'm afraid, it's easier said than done!" Well, if there is nothing else, you can go about it yourself." After a whole winter, I'm going to go out and play polo. ”

Xiao Yunhe left Daming Palace, and suddenly felt a sense of relief, and secretly said in his heart: It turns out that some things are complicated by me. Want a bowl of water to flat...... It's not too difficult to use the old man's stupid method!

More than 100,000 troops, from the very beginning of the day, lined up a neat guard of honor outside the national capital. The armor is shiny, the swords are shining, and even the mane on the horse's body is cleanly washed. The mighty and majestic iron-blooded army has added a majestic appearance to the imperial capital, which is experiencing an important moment today. When the spring breeze blows, thousands of banners are flying, the iron hooves of the war horses are stepping on the tumbling yellow sand, and the majestic and vigorous taste makes the people in the capital city smell clearly.

In the capital city, there are already crowds of people and the sea cannot be drained. All the people gave up what they were doing and poured into Suzaku Street. The flow of people pouring out of the various alleys was still increasing, and people were shocked to find that the original capital city was so large, and it really had a population of three million. Suzaku Street, which was originally 150 paces wide (about 180 meters), was already overcrowded. All the shops on Xishi Street are closed, and even the wine shop Gefang is temporarily closed. All the shops are hung with red colored silk in front of the doors, and people pour into the streets to see this rare prosperity.

The crown prince is finally going to ascend the throne.

From dawn, the capital city began to be bustling and noisy like never before. Even in the East Palace, I can hear it very clearly.

Xiao Yunhe stood in front of the bronze mirror, letting Mo Yi and Wu Yuelin carefully put on the dragon pattern robe for him. The golden dazzling dragon robe, the silk gold line is clearly discernible, and a five-clawed golden dragon soars high. A yellow and jade silk belt around his waist, and he wears Moyun Heavenly Boots on his feet. A thin golden ribbon hung down from her waist and swayed gently from side to side. Wu Yuelin carefully combed the gold thread with a comb, just like caring for her most beloved hair. Mo Yi carefully tied his beloved man's hair, put on a three-beam golden crown of hair, and then inserted a golden hairpin.

The two girls stepped back and looked at each other. Then they looked at each other and smiled: "It's okay." ”

Xiao Yunhe stretched out his arms, looked at himself in the mirror wearing a robe, and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work." It took two full hours to wear this outfit. ”

Mo Yi and Wu Yuelin walked to his side together, looked at the three people in the mirror, and all smiled. The two of them got up when they were young. I put away my clothes and makeup. Each of them wore a purple, green and yellow pattern of the Nine Tree Huadian robe, wore a crown of golden wings with golden filigree on his head, and also pasted a thin golden flower on his forehead that formed a phoenix tail. This extremely glorious and luxurious crown princess robe made these two women seem to be different people. In comparison, the body is plump and taller. It is even more bold and spie, revealing a majesty and grandeur between gestures. Originally, she was used to such dresses before, and when she was in the East Woman Country, she was also a small queen of ten thousand people under one person. Wu Yuelin is also much smaller and exquisite, at first glance it looks dignified and graceful and gentle like water, looking both noble and friendly.

Xiao Yunhe stretched out his arms around the two women. Whispered, "You ...... today It's so beautiful. In the future, when you put on the full costume of the imperial concubine, it will be more graceful and gorgeous. ”

Mo Yi smiled: "Pretty is beautiful, but it will take an hour or two to wear this set of clothes." There are more than 60 thin gold ornaments of large and small golden hairpins inserted on the head, as well as necklaces, chest ornaments, arm jade rings, and waist ornaments. Without the help of five or six people, we wouldn't be able to put it on ourselves!"

Wu Yuelin also said with a smile: "Sister, this kind of dress is only worn on the ground when there are important matters in the imperial court. We've been in the East Palace for so long, isn't this the first time we've worn it? Although the Daqi court is very particular about ceremonial clothing, you don't have to worry too much. ”

Mo Yi also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay...... Otherwise, we just need to get dressed all day long. ”

Xiao Yunhe also smiled and said, "Yue Lin is right. There is no more important day than today. So, you have to dress up your best and enjoy this important and solemn moment with me. ”

At this time. Ju Wenzhen knelt down outside the door and said respectfully: "Lord Prince, the two princesses, the time has come, please move from the Mingde Hall and set off." Xiao Yunhe patted the second daughter on the back: "Okay, let's go." ”

The second daughter nodded. Wu Yuelin patted her chest lightly: "Sister, are you nervous?" I suddenly became so nervous...... Mo Yi smiled Wan'er: "Don't be afraid." We're in this together!"

In front of the Mingde Hall of the East Palace, a temporary new golden chariot for the prince was parked at the end of the stairs. The red top cover, the apricot yellow ground car. There are left dragons and right phoenixes and many pictures and beasts on the body, and eight luan bells are hung. The wheels are also red, with a luan bell on the left and right.

Song Liangchen and 200 flying dragon cavalry soldiers also wore golden bright light armor and red robes today, and became a guard of honor. The white horse is a good horse, with a red ribbon hanging on the forehead, and even the saddle is a carved saddle with red and yellow colors.

Xiao Yunhe and the other three got into the car, and Guo Gang and Xue Ping, dressed in gorgeous military uniforms, boarded the chariot left and right and became attendants, each holding a sword and looking ahead, with a solemn expression.

Song Liangchen turned over and got on his horse, shouted loudly with a loud voice: "Get on the horse and set off!" Escort the prince to the Taiji Palace!"

In the East Palace, a long guard of honor horn blew. More than 200 horns more than one person long were to be placed on the shoulders of the soldiers. One person in the back struggled to blow. The long whining sound resounded through the heavy clouds and lasted for a long time. It was from this moment that a new page was opened in the imperial city of Daqi. Xiao Yunhe also bid farewell to the East Palace, where he had lived for more than half a year, and went to the Taiji Palace from then on.

Out of the Chongming Gate of the East Palace, the honor guard walked up to the Hengjie of the Imperial City. The streets are lined with newly-dressed Dragoons in order and in line with guards of honor. Along the way, the sound of trumpets came and went, majestic and solemn.

The people outside the imperial city heard the sound of the horn from afar, and they all became excited: the ceremony is about to begin!

After entering the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, there are many people. The palace maids and eunuchs of the harem and the court filled the open space on the left and right. The Flying Dragons rode the Royal Forest Army, lined up in a phalanx, mighty and majestic. Looking down from the sky, on the square lawn in front of the Taiji Palace, which is empty and neat. At least more than 10,000 people lined up in a neat array to greet the crown prince and princess. That is, from the moment Xiao Yunhe drove into Chengtianmen, the giant drums and horns on the bell and drum tower of Taiji Palace rang out without stopping. The sound of the earthquake almost swept the heavens and the earth, causing the entire imperial city to tremble.

Two hundred white horses escorted the prince's golden chrome car left and right, and they had arrived in front of the Taiji Gate of the Taiji Palace. It is the location of the core yamen of the imperial court, such as Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province and Hongwen Hall. Hundreds of civil and military officials have been waiting here for a long time. Li Mian, who had been bedridden for a long time, let his nephews and grandchildren carry him into the imperial city. Standing at the head of the hundred officials, he waited excitedly for this moment to come. When the group of white horses and golden chrome carts appeared, Li Mian couldn't care about his old and decaying body, and was the first to bow down. Immediately afterwards, Li Sheng, Lu Zhen, Wu Yuanheng and other ministers. Bow down to all.

Xiao Yunhe saw Li Mian from a distance in the car, stood up at this time, and said, "Xuanqing Gong, please get up quickly!"

Li Mian didn't raise his head, and said loudly with his head: "At this time today, the old minister must not get up." Until the crown prince walked up the dragon tail road. The old minister dared to get up. Otherwise, the old minister will regret it for the rest of his life!"

Xiao Yunhe nodded helplessly and said, "Song Liangchen." Take it in stride. ”

"Yes!" the two hundred iron armor walked neatly to the front of the car, lined up in a phalanx, and moved forward steadily.

On the Longwei Road, there are 800 soldiers standing guard on the left and right. Under the blowing of the east wind, the red Tang character banner is waving in the wind. The newly renovated Tai Chi Hall glows with a scorching golden glow in the sun.

The car stopped, Xiao Yunhe took a long breath and said, "It's here." We get out of the car. ”

Xiao Yunhe got out of the car. When she took Wu Yuelin's little hand, she felt her tremble slightly. Wu Yuelin chuckled ashamedly and said, "The momentum is too strong and solemn...... I—I can't help but tremble. ”

Xiao Yunhe and Mo Yi were used to such a scene, so they both smiled.

Xiao Yunhe is in the center, and Mo Yi and Wu Yuelin are on the left and right. The three of them walked to the front of Longwei Road. Xiao Yunhe turned around and said loudly to Li Mian and the other courtiers who were kneeling in front of him: "Everyone. Excuse me!" "Lord Xie!" the courtiers replied loudly and stood up one after another. Lu Zhen and Li Sheng stepped forward, supporting Li Mian left and right and walking towards Longwei Road.

The sound of drums and horns on the bell and drum tower changed a tone, more majestic and passionate than before. Xiao Yunhe led his two women, led the civil and military officials behind him, and slowly walked up to the Dragon Tail Road of the Taiji Palace.

At the end of the dragon tail road, on the huge square flat in front of the Taiji Palace, there is a collar of apricot yellow Luo umbrella cover. Under the canopy, sat an old man who was as fat as Maitreya and the current emperor. Beside him, there was a crown of twelve-bead curtains, a sword of the Son of Heaven, and a jade seal of the country. In the north of Fangpingdi, a tall incense platform and altar are set up, on which the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Li family and the gods of heaven and earth are displayed.

At this moment, there was no other noise except for the sound of drums and horns in the bell and drum tower, and the sound of hundreds of people slowly walking up to the dragon's tail road. The old man sat under the apricot umbrella cover, quietly waiting for that moment to come.

Finally, the figure of the prince gradually appeared at the end of Longwei Road and appeared in front of the old man. Xiao Yunhe took the two concubines and came to the old man's side together to pass the big ceremony.

The voice of the deacon and eunuch sounded: "The auspicious time has come, read the edict and hold the Zen throne ceremony!"

An edict of abdication and resignation drafted by Kong Chao's father and discussed by the scholars of the Hanlin Academy was read out by Kong Chao's father in public. Such a decree to be preached throughout the world is certainly beautiful and graceful. But the righteousness is nothing more than that the current emperor is weak and sick and unable to take care of court affairs, and he is willing to let the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible to take care of state affairs, and he retires to the harem to spend his old age begging and recuperating.

The most exciting moment has finally arrived.

Xiao Yunhe knelt down in front of the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Li family and the gods of heaven and earth, and the emcee and eunuch took off the golden crown of the three beams of Jinxian tied to the top of his head. Then, the old man slowly put the crown of the twelve-bead curtain on Xiao Yunhe's head.

"From now on, the heavens and the earth will be commanded by the king. Fuer is born and all things are endured. When the old man said this line, he seemed to think of the scene when he succeeded to the throne, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart. And Xiao Yunhe seems to have remembered all kinds of past events when he didn't conquer the world before, and now it's like a world away, and the trend of thought can't be calmed down for a long time.

Xiao Yunhe tied the ribbon of his crown, slowly stood up, and walked to the end of the Dragon Tail Road.

Looking down at a glance, the ministers are at his feet, the imperial city is at his feet, and the world is also under his feet.

He stretched out his arms and stared intently ahead. The civil and military officials bowed down in unison and shouted out the sentence that had been hidden in their hearts for a long time: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

All the soldiers and palace people bowed down together and shouted long live!

In the imperial city, all the streets, corners, and everyone bowed down to the north at this time, shouting long live!

Outside the Suzaku Gate, in the capital city, three million people bowed down together, shouting long live!

Inside and outside the Great Wall, more than 100,000 troops all bowed down, marched on one knee, and shouted long live!

The gushing cries resounded through the heavens and the earth and shook the world. The clouds are fast, and the birds are stunned. The impregnable Great Qi Imperial Capital seemed to tremble.
