Chapter 325, the new monarch of the Liao State
All eyes fell on him, and they all wanted to hear what he had to say.
Han Derang said: "Our Great Liao Kingdom is unfortunate, Your Majesty has died, and there is no owner in the country, the top priority at the moment is not how to deal with the princess, but to support a Majesty as soon as possible, so that the subjects of the world can look up to it, so that the people will not have no place to return and the people will not be in turmoil." Many people couldn't help but nod their heads, feeling that what the prime minister said was extremely true.
Han Derang continued: "The advice of the king of the Southern Courtyard and the generalissimo on how to deal with the princess is reasonable, but after all, both of them are courtier princes, and the princess is also a prince with outstanding military achievements, so no matter how you deal with it, I am afraid that some people will inevitably disagree. I think it's better to leave this matter to the new emperor to deal with. At that time, no matter what decision the new emperor makes, I don't think anyone will be unconvinced. ”
Ye Yan said disrespectfully: "The prime minister is right! The priority now is not what to do with the princess, but to appoint a talented new monarch to lead us! As for what to do with the princess, it is not up to us courtiers to decide, it is up to the new monarch to decide! Many ministers chimed in. This Ya Yan Jing Lun was a pivotal figure among the Liao nobles, and his words represented the views of a considerable number of Liao nobles.
Han Derang and Ye Yu Jing Lun's words represent the views of the neutral nobles and ministers who account for the vast majority of the Liao Kingdom today, and neither Ye Hu Ge nor Ye Hu Cheng dare to ignore their demands, not to mention that their views are also very correct.
Yehu Hugo's mind raced, and he said, "What the two adults said is reasonable, so let's do it." "Brother Yahu Hugo has made a statement, and now there is only Yehu Hucheng left, and everyone's eyes are on Yehu Hucheng. Ye Hu Cheng frowned, he was worried that the new monarch would not let go of his little sister when he succeeded to the throne, but at present, he couldn't do anything, he sighed in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”
The ministers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Yehu Hugo and Yehu Hucheng had agreed, they were really worried that the two would have a quarrel because of this matter, in that case, everyone would not have a good life.
Ye Hu Cheng said: "Your Majesty died suddenly, and he did not leave a testament, how should I choose the candidate to succeed the new monarch?" ”
"I propose that the King of the Southern Courtyard succeed to the throne!" One of the ministers immediately shouted. As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways, and some people echoed them. "I propose that the Generalissimo succeed him to the throne!" Not to be outdone, a minister close to Yaylord called out, and others echoed him. Immediately, the people on both sides blamed each other and exposed their shortcomings, and soon escalated to cursing each other, and then pushing each other's hands, all of them were extremely excited, and the scene was in danger of getting out of control.
When the prime minister saw this scene, he couldn't help but be deeply worried, and secretly thought: How good it would be if His Majesty the Emperor had an edict, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe!
At this moment, a moving female voice came from the door of the main hall: "Who said that Your Majesty has no edict?" The originally noisy and noisy hall immediately quieted down, and people looked at the gate one after another, only to see the Queen Mother Wang Jun coming, followed by four palace maids with skirts. His brows furrowed, and countless thoughts swirled in his heart.
Wang Jun walked up the jade steps, turned around, and took a brocade box from the hand of the palace maid beside him and held it in his palm. When everyone saw her take out a brocade box, they all muttered in their hearts: Could this be His Majesty's will, why haven't you heard of it before?
Wang Jun's wonderful eyes glanced at the ministers and princes, and his red lips opened and closed: "This is His Majesty's will......" Before he finished speaking, Brother Ye Hugh jumped out and questioned: "This is absolutely impossible!" No one had heard of His Majesty's will before, so how could a will suddenly pop up? Many ministers feel that what Ye Hugh said is reasonable, but they do not dare to openly question it, and the current situation is very unexpected, if they jump out to question, the new monarch will only be afraid that he will give himself a color in the future, or it is better not to come forward, and wait and see what happens.
Wang Jun said lightly: "This is indeed the will left by His Majesty, if the ministers don't believe it, you can check it to see if this will is true or false!" You are all the pillars of the Great Liao Kingdom, and I believe that you will know whether it is true or false at first sight. Then he handed the brocade box to a palace maid beside him. The palace maid walked down the jade steps with the holy decree in her hand, came to the king of the southern courtyard, bent down, and held her hands high.
Ye Hu Cheng took the brocade box and opened it, and everyone saw that the golden light in the brocade box was gorgeous, and it was indeed a holy decree. Ye Hu Cheng took out the holy decree and opened it, he was illiterate, he could only look at the mark of the jade seal, and when he saw that it was indeed stamped with the mark of the jade seal, he nodded and said, "It's true." Then he handed the holy decree to Han Derang, "I don't know how to read, can you see what His Majesty's holy decree says?" ”
Han Derang took the holy decree with both hands, and looked at it, first of all, he also looked at the seal, yes, it was indeed the emperor's jade seal, and he basically thought that this holy decree was true and undoubted, because the emperor's jade seal was hidden in the emperor's bedroom, and it was impossible to touch the jade seal as the queen mother; Looking at the handwriting again, Han Derang, as the emperor's prime minister, has long been accustomed to the emperor's handwriting, and at a glance, he knew that this was the emperor's handwriting, so he said very happily: "There is no mistake, there is no mistake, it is the emperor's will!" When the ministers heard this, some of them sighed secretly, but most of them were relieved, thinking that since there was the emperor's will, the matter of the new emperor's accession to the throne would be a matter of course.
But some people were unwilling, and only listened to Brother Ye Hugh say: "Prime Minister, why do you say that this will is true? ”
Han Derang said: "First, the jade seal is right, and second, this handwriting is indeed His Majesty's." If you don't believe me, you can take a look. As he spoke, he handed the holy decree to the ministers for circulation, and Yehu Hugo also read it, his face was gloomy, and the ministers did not raise any doubts, and finally the holy decree returned to the hands of the queen mother.
Wang Jun glanced at everyone and said: "Your Majesty's will, pass on the throne to his son Song King Ye Yu Long, and order the Empress Dowager Wulie (that is, the Empress Dowager Wang Jun hangs the curtain to listen to the government, do you obey the order?) How will you answer this question? Is the answer not in order? Isn't that a blatant disobedience to the Holy Commandment, and a sin deserving of punishment?
Brother Ye Hugh was still unwilling to be reconciled, and snorted coldly, "The handwriting can be counterfeited, as for the jade seal, who knows if the jade seal is still in His Majesty's bedroom." Wang Jun said with a puzzled face: "Is the generalissimo trying to resist the decree?" ”
Ye Hu Cheng glared and said, "Since Your Majesty has a will, how can our ministers disobey it!" You kid is crooked and long-winded, do you want to resist the decree! Although Ye Hu Cheng felt that this holy decree was a little inappropriate in his heart, he wanted to establish a new lord as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the people in the world, and secondly, he felt that the will was true and could not be disobeyed, so he stood on the side of Wang Jun and reprimanded Ye Hu Ge. Han Derang and many other ministers also cast dissatisfied eyes at Yehu Hugo, and everyone's thoughts were similar to Yehu Hucheng. Seeing the anger of the people, he was shocked, and hurriedly said, "I'm not resisting the order, I'm just worried that there will be problems in this." ”
Wang Jun asked, "I wonder how the generalissimo can be sure?" ”
He thought about it and felt that there was only one way to find out whether it was true or false: if the decree was fake, then the jade seal would definitely not be in the palace anymore, and if the jade seal could not be found in the palace, he could deny the authenticity of the decree on this basis, and the ministers would have nothing to say at that time.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately said: "This matter is very important, although it is suspected of offending the first emperor, but it has to be done like this." Wang Jun asked, "How does the Generalissimo want to verify the authenticity of the decree?" Ye Hugh said: "It's very simple, if the holy decree is true, presumably the jade seal is still in the first emperor's bedroom." On the contrary, the jade seal must have been stolen by someone, and this holy decree is naturally fake. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a smug look flashing in Wang Jun's eyes, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he secretly screamed: I'm so stupid, it is possible that the jade seal was stolen by someone, but it is also possible that some of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were bribed by her and secretly did this!
Ye Hu Cheng said: "In this case, let's go to the dormitory together, although we are disrespectful to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty will definitely forgive us!" Then he glared at Brother Ye Hugh and said fiercely: "If there are still people who question this matter after this matter, I will deal with it as if he is a rebel!" ”
Brother Hue was regretting falling into the other party's situation, and when he heard the words of Tiger City, he secretly complained bitterly, but the matter had come to this point, and he had no choice but to hope that the jade seal was no longer in the palace.
Immediately, a large group of palace nobles and ministers followed the king to the harem. Along the way, rockery streams, strange flowers and plants, beautiful, but at the moment no one has the leisure to watch.
Soon after, everyone came to the Qiankun Palace, where the emperor lived, and the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids guarding the palace were all taken aback when they saw such a big battle, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Wang Jun said: "No courtesy." The crowd thanked them and stood up, but they still bowed their waists and hung their heads. Wang Jun looked at the old eunuch, the chief administrator of Qiankun Palace, and said, "We want to see His Majesty's jade seal, so let's take us over." The old eunuch raised his head and looked at the people, and when he answered, he led the way in front, and the people followed. Entering the dormitory and coming to the dragon couch, the old eunuch pointed to the wall at the head of the bed and said, "The jade seal is hidden there!" Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that it was smooth and clean, it was a wall, and it didn't look like a dark grid at all, and they couldn't help but think: It is so hidden, only His Majesty and the eunuch next to His Majesty should know where the jade seal is collected.
The old eunuch walked over, knocked on the wall, and then pushed it, and everyone heard only a soft click, and a dark grid immediately appeared on the originally smooth and smooth wall. The old eunuch stretched out his hand to enter, and then came out with a one-foot square gold box, and said to everyone: "This is Your Majesty's jade seal!" ”
"Open it and see!" Wang Jun commanded.
The old eunuch answered, walked to a small table with the gold box in his hand, and everyone gathered around, staring at the gold box and waiting for him to open it. The old eunuch slowly opened the gold box, and everyone stretched their necks and opened their eyes wide. The lid of the box was completely lifted, and I saw a huge jade seal squatting in the middle of the gold box. That is the legend from the Qin Shi Huang period handed down the country jade seal, can be described as a rare treasure, even the Song Kingdom in the south has no similar jade seal, can be said to be unique in the world, everyone at a glance to know that the gold box in the jade seal is the real jade seal. Yeychelo's face was very ugly.
Wang Jun put his hands into the gold box and carefully took out the jade seal, held it high, and turned it around so that everyone could see it clearly, and everyone looked up at the jade seal, and their eyes couldn't help but show respect. Wang Jun put the jade seal back into the gold box, closed the lid, and instructed the old eunuch: "Put it back, so that you can guard it, and wait for the new emperor to take over the jade seal." The old eunuch answered, took the gold box back to the dark grid, put the gold box back, and then closed the dark box, and the wall was restored to its original state.
Wang Jun sneered and glanced at Brother Ye Hugh, who glared at Wang Jun, his eyes full of resentment. Wang Jun said to everyone: "This is Your Majesty's bedroom, let's go back to the front and talk about it." The crowd nodded, and a large group of people left the dormitory and came to the main hall in front.
Wang Jun glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you still have objections now?" Ye Hu Cheng said: "It's not fake, it's just a little too much just now!" Although he still didn't believe that the holy decree was true, thinking that all this was done secretly by the king, but he had nothing to say, not that he had nothing to say, but he couldn't say it, but he couldn't say it, and now the situation has been controlled by Wang Junshuo, and most of the ministers and nobles, including Ye Hu Cheng, Han Derang, and Ye Yu Jing Lun, all of them have clearly recognized the authenticity and authority of the holy decree, and their own doubts have just been refuted in front of everyone. What else can he say now, if he objects again, I'm afraid everyone will think of him as a rebel!
Seeing that Brother Ye Hugh was silent, Wang Jun was secretly proud, and raised his voice: "Since everyone has no doubts, then we will follow Your Majesty's will and invite King Song and Concubine Shu to come over and succeed to the throne!" "This concubine is the mother of the Song King Ye Yu Long, and she is the queen of the Liao nobles.
A palace maid answered and immediately ran down. Brother Ye frowned tightly, and had the intention to stop it, but now he was powerless, and couldn't help but curse secretly: "This sinister woman, she wants to cut through the mess quickly, so that I don't have any chance to turn the tables!" ’
Soon after, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and everyone turned around together, only to see that behind the palace maid, followed by a beautiful woman of seventeen or eighteen years old in a long tunic dress, holding a baby in her arms. The first time Concubine Shu faced such an occasion, she couldn't help but be a little nervous, and the child in her arms also cried at this time. All the princes and ministers looked at each other, and they all felt a little funny, and they couldn't help but say in their stomachs: I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to set up such a baby as the emperor.
Wang Jun raised his voice at Concubine Shu: "Concubine Shu, your mother and son come up." ”
Concubine Shu hurriedly answered, walked over quickly with her son in her arms, climbed the jade steps, stood beside Wang Jun, and looked at the princes and ministers under the jade steps very shyly.
Wang Jun raised his voice and said: "In accordance with the will of the first emperor, we will support the King of Song as the new king!" Then he bowed slightly to Concubine Shu's mother and son and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" When the princes and ministers saw this, they followed the mountain and shouted long live and bowed down. At this point, the baby will become the emperor of the Great Liao Kingdom. Some ministers couldn't help but sigh in their stomachs: In the past, we laughed at other people's child emperors, but I didn't expect that our Great Liao Kingdom would have such a day!
A palace maid standing behind Concubine Shu leaned into Concubine Shu's ear and whispered: "The Queen Mother has been ordered to hang the curtain to listen to the government, and Niangniang and Your Majesty should salute the Queen Mother." When Concubine Shu heard this, she hurriedly hugged her son and blessed Wang Jun slightly, and said, "Thank you Queen Mother!" In the future, our mother and son will all rely on the Queen Mother to take care of her! Wang Jun smiled and said: "This is a matter within the mourning family, Concubine Shu doesn't have to be polite!" Then he turned to the princes and ministers and said: "The new emperor is on the throne, the whole world celebrates, everyone in the capital gives a bottle of wine and two catties of meat, and the ministers stay in their original positions and add a knight." ”
The princes and ministers were still worried that the child emperor would be in power when he ascended the throne of the queen mother, and there would be a big personnel change immediately, but listening to the queen mother's words, not only did not make adjustments to anyone, but also everyone added a knight, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and couldn't help but thank the queen mother for her mighty grace.
Yang Peng, Yelu Hanyu and others observed near the princess's mansion, and saw that the three thousand iron armor surrounded the princess's mansion like an iron bucket.
A few people went to a nearby tavern and sat down by the window. I ordered a few snacks and drinks, and after a while, the drinks and drinks came up.
Yang Peng drank a few glasses of wine in a row, and when he was about to drink again, Yelu Hanyu held down his wine glass, and said angrily: "Big brother, you are just drunk like mud, and you don't have the slightest benefit for the things in front of you." Yang Peng sighed, "Actually, I have long expected such a situation, I originally expected that there would be a gap, but now this expectation has finally been shattered!" He turned his head and glanced at the heavily guarded princess's mansion not far away, and frowned: "With such a three-layer guard, we can't save people at all!" The plan made before could only deal with more than a thousand iron armors at most, and now there are three thousand iron armors, and there are a large number of palace guards, hey! Naren hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" ”
Yang Peng didn't answer, frowning and thinking, he hadn't given up yet, he was still thinking of a way.
At this moment, on the street outside the tavern, someone ran over in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "The new emperor is on the throne, the new emperor is on the throne!" The imperial court rewarded the people of the capital with wine and meat, so let's go to the palace to receive the reward!! He shouted and ran past, and the whole street, including the shops on both sides, was in an uproar.
Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu glanced at each other, and both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes, Yang Peng frowned and said, "I didn't expect the new emperor of the Liao Kingdom to succeed to the throne so soon!" At this moment, the people in the tavern were hurrying out to check out, even the owner and his fellows.
Yang Peng stood up, "Let's go and have a look." The crowd stood up, and Wang Kai took out a piece of broken silver and threw it on the table.
A few people left the tavern and followed the crowd towards the direction of the palace, only to see countless men, women, and children in the streets and alleys in all directions, rushing towards the palace, and it was really an empty alley. In fact, the vast majority of people don't want to receive the reward of the imperial court so much, but want to see the new emperor, everyone is happy, these days have been worrying, now you can finally feel at ease, with the new emperor, everything should slowly get better!
Yang Peng and the others followed the crowd to the square in front of the palace, Yang Peng stopped and said, "Let's see who the new emperor is here." Everyone nodded, and then did not go to the square in front of the crowd, standing under a willow tree, at this time the tide of the people gathered is constantly passing by the crowd and gathering in the large square in front of the palace.
Yang Peng moved his gaze to the gorgeous gatehouse on the gate of the imperial palace, wanting to see who the new emperor of the Liao State was. In the tradition of this era, the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and the emperor had to climb the gatehouse of the imperial palace to meet his subjects, so that everyone could know what kind of person the emperor was.
After waiting for a while, I saw the palace gate suddenly open, and then I saw thousands of ironclad soldiers rushing out, surrounding the entire square. The people who were originally noisy couldn't help but quiet down and looked up at the gatehouse.
I saw a eunuch climb the city gate, shook off the dust, and raised his voice in the throat of the duck gong: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and Your Majesty have arrived!" ...... "More than 100,000 people knelt down one after another, Chen Xiao and others stood far away, and they did not kneel, and it was impossible to kneel.
The voice of the eunuch was still echoing in the air, and I saw that the city gate tower was suddenly splendid, and dozens of palace maids surrounded two beautiful women wearing phoenix crowns and palace clothes walked up to the city gate tower. Yang Peng and the others were quite surprised, because they didn't see the emperor, didn't they say that the emperor arrived, where was he? Immediately, everyone noticed a situation, the queen mother was holding a baby wrapped in yellow silk in her arms, and several people looked at each other, thinking about one thing in their hearts: Could it be that the baby is the new emperor of Liao? !
The Empress Dowager Wang Jun raised her voice and said: "The new monarch succeeds to the throne, the whole world celebrates, and the subjects and the people still don't pay tribute to your new emperor?" ”
More than 100,000 people kowtowed together and said, "Meet Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!" ”
At this time, the eunuch who served as the master of ceremonies raised his voice and said: "The Empress Dowager has been ordered to hang the curtain to listen to the government and assist the new monarch, and everyone will also visit the Empress Dowager!" ”
The people did not know that the emperor was a baby because they were all kneeling on the ground and hanging their heads at this time, and they were all a little confused when they heard the words of the eunuch, but they still bowed together; "Meet the Empress Dowager, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
Wang Jun looked at the group of people kneeling on the ground in front of her, and a feeling suddenly rose in her heart that the world was under control, which made her extremely excited. Wang Jun suppressed his excitement and raised his voice: "Let's get even!" ”
Everyone said together: "Empress Dowager Xie!" Then they all stood up. At this time, everyone was able to look up at the emperor's appearance, but found that the emperor turned out to be a baby in his arms, and couldn't help but be surprised.
After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
