Chapter 40: Enthronement and Claim to the Emperor

In the past two or three years, Ji Guofu has passed on information to him a lot less frequently, and most of the information passed on is a little bit of trivial matter, which has little value.

Even in the end, this kind of bits and pieces of information is missing, as if it is a little undutiful.

However, this changed after he returned to Daliang.

Ji Guofu suddenly returned to the previous frequency of transmitting information, and the content of the information also changed from the previous norm and became much more detailed.

Zhao Hongming is also well aware of such a change in his attitude.

is nothing more than fear of power but not morality, and after seeing him show his strength, his attitude was shaken again.

For such behavior, Zhao Hongming didn't care.

It's just human nature.

Ji Guofu was just an idle move for him back then, and now he still has a few subordinates and handles in his hands, and there is no difficulty in trying to handle him.

At the moment, Wei and Zhao are safe, and there is no need for him to use Ji Guofu too much.

Maybe it will be more useful in the future.

This time, Ji Guofu sent another piece of information, and stamped the "important" "Wu" logo, which made him feel more curious.

Zhao Hongming flicked his wrist, took out the corresponding secret documents from it, and carefully checked them.

When he read all the few sentences in the secret document, he couldn't help but change his complexion.

Zhao Hongming put down the secret letter sent by Ji Guofu, and his expression became much more solemn.

It seems that the envoys from the five countries entered Beijing this time, and the people who came were not good.

Zhao Hongming picked up the secret document and operated the true meaning.

Poof!

The secret document was shredded by the true meaning and disappeared into the void.

Zhao Hongming stood up from his seat, looked ahead, and his eyes became much deeper.

After a moment, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile: "It's a pity that they picked the wrong opponent." ”

Even if Ji Guofu didn't send back this information, he took some precautions. But now it seems that it is not enough.

There are still almost ten days left before his enthronement ceremony.

Zhao Hongming's lips moved slightly: "Father-in-law Gao." ”

Gao Yanshi, who was waiting beside him, hurriedly responded: "Your Highness, the slave is here. ”

"Go to Chen Mou, the secretary of the Ministry of Propaganda and Industry, and Wu Hanwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and enter the palace. The main palace has something important to discuss with the two of you. ”

Gao Yanshi nodded in response, and hurriedly went to summon Chen Mou and Wu Hanwen.

Soon, Chen Mou and Wu Hanwen, two scholars, were called to enter the palace.

"Your Highness."

"Let's get even, two adults."

Wu Hanwen took the lead in asking: "I don't know what is important for His Highness to summon Weichen at this time?" ”

Zhao Hongming said: "How are the preparations for the enthronement ceremony now? ”

"Back to His Highness, everything is being implemented in an orderly manner, and two places have been arranged in accordance with His Highness's requirements." Wu Hanwen replied truthfully.

Zhao Hongming nodded and praised: "Lord Wu has worked hard. ”

"This is all the duty of Weichen as a courtier."

"There are still more than ten days to go, is it too late for this palace to change the list of visitors?"

Hearing this, Wu Hanwen was puzzled: "It's naturally too late to change, but most of the guest lists have been finalized and invitations have been issued. ”

On the day of the enthronement of the Wei emperor, there will be civil and military officials, envoys from various countries, princes and nobles and other celebrities to watch the ceremony.

There are strict ceremonial procedures and ceremonies, as well as the roles and responsibilities of various personnel.

It can be said that this is one of the most important moments in the life of the emperor of Wei, representing the royal face, and there is no room for any flaws.

Zhao Hongming said with a smile: "Wu Shangshu misunderstood the meaning of the palace, the palace is not to adjust the current guests, but to feel that there are still fewer people to watch the ceremony, it is better to send an invitation and invite all the martial arts forces of the Wei State to participate in the grand event, what does Wu Shangshu think?" ”

Wu Hanwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was taken aback.

At first, he thought that Zhao Hongming was disgusted with too many people, and he was too public, and wanted to reduce the number of people.

I didn't expect to do the opposite, because I felt that the number of people was not enough, and I wanted to invite the martial arts forces of the world to participate.

Zhao Hongming saw that Wu Hanwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not reply, and frowned: "What? Is it too late? ”

Wu Hanwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came back to his senses and said busily: "It's time, it's time." There are so many martial arts forces in the Wei Kingdom, does His Royal Highness want to invite them all? ”

"Invite them all and give each family a place to attend the ceremony." Zhao Hongming said: "The enthronement of this palace is imminent, so Lord Wu should do it as soon as possible." ”

There was a strong man's momentum between the words, which kept flowing from him, not angry but mighty.

Layers of cold sweat oozed from Wu Hanwen's forehead, and the pressure doubled.

There is still more than half a month left before the enthronement ceremony, and from the perspective of time, it is not enough.

"Your Highness, Weichen obeys." In the face of Zhao Hongming's coercion, Wu Hanwen did not dare to refute anything, and hurriedly agreed.

"Lord Chen, there are some things in this palace that I want to ask you separately."

Wu Hanwen understood and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Weichen has something to deal with in a hurry, so he retired first." ”

After speaking, Wu Hanwen lowered his head and took three steps backwards, and walked out of the hall quickly.

In the hall, only Zhao Hongming, Chen Mou and Gao Yanshi were left.

Zhao Hongming had a good impression of Chen Mou, and immediately retracted the momentum on his body, and said in a calm tone: "Chen Shangshu, this palace wants to ask, how is the forging progress of the god and demon blade now?" ”

Chen Mou said respectfully: "Nearly ninety percent has been completed, and it will be completed in just two or three years." ”

"Two or three years?" Zhao Hongming felt a little longer: "If this palace is going to be used in the near future, is it okay?" ”

Zhao Hongming already knew that even if the god and demon blade was not cast, he could use one or two as a martial artist, but it was just the size of the side effects.

After he took two dragon veins in a row, the suppression of him by the national fortune had weakened a lot.

Compared with ordinary martial artists, his current "qualifications" are not too bad.

It has met the basic conditions for using the Divine and Demon Blade.

Chen Mou said: "Yes, but His Highness is a daughter, if there is any mistake, it will be more than worth the loss for us and other Great Wei." ”

Zhao Hongming agreed, and said, "Then is there any way to alleviate the side effects of controlling the gods and demons blade?" ”

"The reason why the gods and demons blade has side effects is nothing more than that it is incomparably powerful, and it is difficult for ordinary people to bear, and it can be exhausted for a while. If Your Highness has to use it, it is best to borrow some foreign objects to assist. ”

"With what foreign objects?"

Chen Mou said: "Demon Pill! It's best to still have a demon pill that is not low-grade. There is a demon spirit condensed in the demon pill, which can share the pressure of the use of the god and demon blades for His Highness. ”

Such a coincidence?

Zhao Hongming couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he raised his chin.

Gao Yanshi immediately understood, took the silver scale spear, and handed it to Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Hongming took the silver scale gun and put it in front of Chen Mou, and said, "Lord Chen, why don't you take a look at this thing, does it meet your requirements?" ”

Chen Mou took the silver scale gun and looked at it carefully.

His hands rubbed against the silver-scaled spear, and finally focused on the junction between the barrel and the head, which had a rounded bulge.

"It's ......"

Chen Mou looked closely, and finally his eyes changed, and he recognized that this was an ancient demon pill, and the grade was very high, and it was a rare demon pill boutique.

You must know that in today's world, the demon pill is almost extinct.

Any demon pill is extremely precious.

Not to mention such a high-grade demon pill.

Chen Mou thought about some rumors about Zhao Hongming in the main gate, and also had a conclusion about the origin of this demon pill, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Hongming twice, and said: "This demon pill is of very good quality and meets the casting requirements." ”

"That's good." Zhao Hongming asked: "The palace has to be completed before the enthronement ceremony, does Lord Chen find it difficult?" ”

Chen Mou pondered for a while, and said with certainty: "Back to Your Highness, you can." ”

"In this case, the palace will wait for Chen Shangshu's good news."

"Is there anything else Your Highness can do? If not, Wechen will be busy first. ”

"Lord Chen, please."

Chen Mou, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, put away the silver scale gun, hugged the gun magazine together, and walked out.

After doing this, Zhao Hongming said to Gao Yanshi: "These days, your Imperial City Division and the Imperial Front Division are ready. If there are not enough people in the palace, some elite Wei soldiers will be transferred from Wu Qi's side, and strive not to make any mistakes. ”

Gao Yanshi said with a serious face: "The slave obeys." ”

After making a variety of arrangements in a row, Zhao Hongming was a little relieved.

Soon, the news that the crown prince of Wei invited the martial arts forces of the whole Wei State to come to Daliang City to watch his enthronement ceremony spread throughout the Wei State.

It has caused a lot of waves among many martial arts forces.

After all, before Zhao Hongming, there had never been an emperor of Wei who had done such a thing.

Some martial arts forces believe that this is a manifestation of Zhao Hongming's arrogance and arrogance, and he will kill himself if he commits many injustices in the future.

There are also martial arts forces who believe that it is Zhao Hongming who has cultivated to be strong and wants to show his strength in front of the martial arts forces of the whole Wei Dynasty and stabilize his position in the future.

In any case, Zhao Hongming, as the highest royal disciple in the history of the Wei State, has a longevity of two hundred years, and is destined to become a legendary emperor of a generation, and no one dares to underestimate him.

Most of the martial arts forces accepted the invitation, and sent the disciples or masters of the sect to Daliang in person to watch the ceremony on the spot.

For a time, the number of martial artists who went to Daliang City more than doubled compared to before.

The streets are bustling with activity.

It's like a prosperous posture.

The envoys of various countries in the Daliang City Post House all showed disdain when they saw such a scene.

"The higher you fly, the worse you fall."

"The day he ascends the throne will be his death."

Many of the elites sent by the martial arts forces in the missions of various countries joined the dangerous assassination under the persuasion of South Korea.

During their time in the inn, they have made sufficient preparations and tried to be foolproof.

And Lin Bo, the Heavenly Sect Master who came with him, was calm, meditating and cultivating in the post house, adjusting his state as much as possible.

The days passed.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Great Liang of Wei has reached the day of the New Year.

A grand enthronement ceremony is about to take place.

On the streets of the capital, crowds of people, the people of Wei were crowded, holding colorful flags and beating gongs and drums under the guidance of officials, and began to welcome the seventh emperor since the founding of Wei.

"My lords, the enthronement ceremony is about to begin, and you will go to the ceremony hall with you."

Early in the morning, the officials of the Wei State all arrived at the post house to welcome the envoys of various countries.

"There's Lord Law. Hard-working adults lead the way. ”

The envoys of various countries were ready, dressed up to attend, and walked out of the post house.

I don't know if it's the illusion of the officials of the Wei State, but when I saw these envoys again today, I found that they had a little more evil spirit, and the atmosphere became much more dull.

He was humble and did not dare to do much, and bowed his head to lead the envoys of various countries to the palace.

Lin Bo, the head of the Heavenly Man, was hiding among the Korean envoys, and he felt that something was wrong as he walked.

Didn't the successive Wei kings ascend the throne first have to worship the heavens outside the city, isn't this going in the direction of the palace?

How did they go in the opposite direction?

Obviously, they also saw the traces of the Wei State building an altar outside the city!

Something is wrong.

In addition to Lin Bo discovering this, the other envoys also realized this.

It was not the first time for some people to participate in the enthronement hall of the Wei State, and he took the initiative to ask: "This lord, why are we going to the palace, didn't we always hold it outside the palace in the past?" ”

Generally speaking, the monarchs of the six kingdoms of the world usually hold military parades on the day of their accession to the throne in addition to worshipping the heavens to show their strength and majesty to the countries.

Therefore, the enthronement ceremony is generally held in a relatively open area outside the city.

As today, I have never encountered anyone who went in the direction of the palace.

The Wei officials who came to meet him smiled and said, "You don't know, this year, the enthronement ceremony held by our Royal Highness was temporarily changed to the Taihe Hall of the Imperial Palace. ”

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the envoys.

Especially the Heavenly Sect Master Lin Bo was even more dumbfounded.

He came all the way over, isn't it because Zhao Hongming will be outside the city when he holds the enthronement ceremony, so he can do it.

Now that it has been changed to the palace, with the blessing of the Great Array of Protectors, how can he assassinate?

He didn't hear any news of such a big change.

In an instant, Lin Bo's heart chuckled and continued to sink.

At this time, when other people learned the news, the emotions in their hearts were the same as his.

However, it has come to this point, and it is impossible for them to turn back and leave.

Otherwise, it will become three hundred taels of silver in this place.

Seeing the performance of the envoys, the Wei officials who responded secretly said in their hearts: "Why are the envoys sent by various countries this year so shocked, as if they have never seen the world?" ’

He couldn't help but be speechless in his heart.

Wei Imperial Palace, Taihe Palace.

At this time, Zhao Hongming was already under the service of his subordinates, wearing a gorgeous dragon robe, his eyes were firm and confident.

From this day on, he Zhao Hongming, the former His Royal Highness the King of Wei and now the crown prince of Wei, is about to ascend the throne of the emperor and become the emperor who truly dominates the Wei State.

"Your Highness, you ordered us to set up the venues inside and outside the city, why did you finally decide to hold it in the palace?"

In the main hall, Gao Yanshi asked in a puzzled low voice.

"The palace is protected by the Seven Stars Peerless Array, how can there be security outside the palace?" Zhao Hongming smiled and said: "As the saying goes, there are three holes in the cunning rabbit, and the palace temporarily determines the venue, only to prevent villains, you might as well be a gentleman." ”

With that, he stepped out. (End of chapter)
