Chapter 150: The new emperor ascends the throne with three fires
Datang Double Dragon World.
Daxing City, Imperial Palace.
Yang Guang convened all the ministers and convened a grand court meeting.
"Zhou Li" said: "Spring sees the dynasty, summer sees the sect, autumn sees the pilgrimage, winter sees the encounter, the time sees the meeting, and the Yin sees the same." ”
The Great Dynasty Meeting began in the Western Zhou Dynasty and belonged to the highest etiquette standards, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Generally speaking, a grand court meeting will be held at the beginning of each year, so that civil and military officials can meet the Son of Heaven.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor rarely convened a large court meeting, unless there was something very important to announce.
Coincidentally, Yang Guang held a court meeting this time to announce a major event.
In front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Yang Guang first issued an edict of guilt, bitterly complained about the wrong measures he had taken since he succeeded to the throne, and admitted his mistakes.
Then, under the bewildered eyes of the ministers, he issued an edict of abdication, ceding the position of Emperor of the Great Sui and the Ninety-Five Supreme Zen of the world to Xiaolongnu.
As soon as these two edicts came out, the whole city of Daxing was in an uproar, and even the news spread to the whole world, causing the whole world to shake.
With Yang Guang's arrogance and recklessness, it is impossible for him to bow his head and admit his mistakes even if he dies, let alone hand over the throne to others.
But when the little dragon girl stepped into the main hall, all the civil and military officials bowed their heads together, and no one dared to raise objections.
Yesterday they were angry with each other, and they knew what was happening in the palace, and they also knew about the destruction of the Pure Nian Monastery outside the city.
In the face of an unsurpassed powerhouse who smashed the martial arts holy land with one palm and whose strength was suspected of shattering the Void Realm, who would dare to blow up the stab? Is it too long?
There are many gate valves in the world, led by the four major gate valves, which are Yuwen Valve, Dugu Valve, Li Valve and Lingnan Song Valve.
You Chuhong, the ancestor of the Dugu valve, was the most shrewd, and after seeing the situation clearly, he was loyal to Xiaolongnu as soon as possible.
And although Yuwen Valve has a grudge against Xiaolongnu, and the contemporary of the family, Jie Yu Wenhua, died at the hands of Xiaolongnu, but they will not put the safety of their family at risk for the sake of a dead person, and go against Xiaolongnu, the supreme powerhouse of the Broken Void Realm.
Two of the four major gate valves in the world have clearly stated their position, and the other small gate valves have nothing to say, and they follow closely one by one to support Xiaolongnu's accession to the throne.
The pattern of the world has changed in an instant, and the position of the Supreme of the Ninety-Five has changed hands.
Seeing such a 'sincere' approval from the civil and military officials, Xiaolongnu announced that she would officially ascend the throne three days later.
After retiring from the dynasty, Xiaolongnu and Yang Guang came to the harem together.
"I didn't expect that none of the hundred officials opposed your accession to the throne, in vain I thought there were loyal courtiers, but I couldn't think of any of them."
Yang Guang said in despair: "In this world, strength is really respected, and personal strength is so strong that he ignores the power of the world. ”
Although he said that he would abdicate, he was actually a little reluctant in his heart.
He thought that he had made an edict against himself, fully realized his mistakes, and regained the recognition of hundreds of officials, if the ministers were reluctant to let him abdicate, wouldn't he still be able to continue to be the emperor?
Unexpectedly, these guys accepted Xiaolongnu's succession so happily and threw him, the former emperor, aside.
"What, reluctant to let go?"
Xiaolongnu couldn't see the reluctance in Yang Guang's eyes, and teased.
"To be honest, there is some reluctance, but a manly man, I do what I say."
After Yang Guang gritted his teeth and decided, he asked worriedly, "Are you going to deal with me?" ”
He has already issued an edict of abdication, which is useless for Xiaolongnu.
It would be a great loss if the little dragon girl was ready to kill him.
"Don't worry, as long as you are honest, I won't kill you."
"I said before, you won't be an emperor, just take a good look on the sidelines, how I became an emperor."
Xiaolongnu waved her hand and gave Yang Guang a reassurance.
She didn't have any ill feelings towards Yang Guang, and it didn't make sense to kill him, so it was better to spare his life.
"Thank you for not killing, I can finally sleep in peace."
Yang Guang's face showed ecstasy, and after solemnly thanking him, he laughed at himself.
Subsequently, Yang Guang officially moved out of the palace and lived in a three-entry house in the outer city.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
In the Jinluan Palace, the little dragon girl in a black dragon robe sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the civil and military officials below.
The old eunuch of the Yin Kui faction, who had had contact with Xiaolongnu before, stood aside and still acted as the chief eunuch for Xiaolongnu.
"Fengtian carries Your Majesty, and the edict says: I am proud of the heavens, and the saints are retired, and the former emperor Yang Guang is in the throne. The internal and external ministers have repeatedly persuaded them to refuse, and they would like to tell heaven and earth at this time, that is, the emperor's throne. The country name is Zhou, Jianyuan Yong'an, Daxing is changed to Chang'an, and Chang'an is the capital."
After the hundred officials stood still, the old eunuch took out the edict of the little dragon girl and recited it aloud.
Don't look at the bells and whistles of the enthronement edict, but the actual content is very simple, and only two main points are mentioned.
One is the legitimacy of Xiaolongnu's accession, not to usurp the throne, nor to rebel, but from the Zen position of the former emperor Yang Guang.
The second is that the country name of the new dynasty is Zhou, and there will be no more Great Sui in the future, only Great Zhou, and the year name is Yong'an, and the capital city of Daxing City is changed to Chang'an City.
Xiaolongnu was too lazy to worry about the enthronement, so she handed it all over to the hundred officials, and she was only responsible for naming the new dynasty and the year.
Other messy enthronement procedures and rituals to worship the heavens and other things can naturally be saved, and no one dares to say anything.
While retaining the royal majesty, it also saves a lot of effort from the little dragon girl.
"Hundreds of officials kneel to welcome the new emperor to the throne!"
After the old eunuch read the edict of enthronement, the old eunuch shouted loudly with a sharp voice.
The civil and military officials below knelt down in unison.
The old eunuch shouted again: "Mountain hoo! ”
The ministers shouted: "Long live! ”
The old eunuch shouted again: "Mountain hoo! ”
The ministers shouted: "Long live! ”
The old eunuch shouted again: "Again the mountain! ”
The ministers shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
"All the ministers are flat!"
The crisp voice of the little dragon girl resounded through the hall.
The old eunuch shouted: "A hundred officials! ”
The civil and military ministers below stood up together, lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, and stood respectfully.
Hundreds of officials knelt three times and bowed nine times, and officially bowed to the new emperor, which can be regarded as a complete determination of the status of the monarch and minister.
"There is a book, but there is no book!"
After the ministers regained their footing, the old eunuch shouted loudly, announcing the official start of the first court meeting after Xiaolongnu ascended the throne.
Unexpectedly, after the old eunuch finished shouting, all the ministers below were silent, and there was silence in the court.
For this strange new emperor, the ministers don't know her temper and character, so in order to avoid getting into trouble, how dare they say more.
In the past few days, the news of the Little Dragon Maiden's destruction of the Pure Nian Zen Monastery has been completely spread, revealing a corner of the mystery of the Little Dragon Maiden.
Unknown origin, strong strength, young age!
The first time he appeared in front of the public, it was Yangzhou City, and he killed Yu Wenhua with one palm.
Then, she appeared in the palace again and found the former emperor Yang Guang.
Then, she wiped out the Pure Nian Zen Temple, the holy land of martial arts, with one palm, and forced Yang Guang to abdicate.
In the face of such a supreme powerhouse, and without knowing his personality and temper, who dares to talk nonsense?
In case she was moody and ordered to drag the person who came out of the house to be killed, the one who died would be too unjust!
At the same time, although the ministers did not have any expression on their faces, they actually wanted to see the jokes of the new emperor in their hearts.
Throughout the history of China, such a sudden change of dynasty has never happened today.
The Manchu civil and military forces were also confused, not knowing how to deal with it.
Under normal circumstances, the people who change the dynasty are the ancestors of a country, and a group of civil and military generals or ministers of the dragon have gathered under their hands.
This kind of emperor is all his word and has supreme authority.
An emperor who was parachuted in like Xiaolongnu has neither cronies nor soldiers and horses to support him, so to put it bluntly, he is the commander of the light pole.
It stands to reason that such an emperor has no prestige at all, and belongs to the object of being hollowed out by the ministers.
But on the contrary, this new emperor has supreme strength, and no one dares to fool her, which is definitely a long life.
Therefore, at this time, the ministers wanted to know in their hearts what kind of tricks the new emperor had and how to break this slightly embarrassing situation.
"Smack."
Seeing that no one spoke below, Xiaolongnu slapped her face, attracting the attention of the ministers.
She stood up and stepped down from the dragon chair, and the old eunuch hurriedly greeted her and whispered: "Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, if you have anything to say to the old slave, the old slave can pass the word." ”
"It's okay, the new dynasty has a new atmosphere, and you don't have to be bound by red tape."
Xiaolongnu shook her head, walked down the palace step by step, and stood in front of the civil and military ministers.
She looked around at the ministers and said to them, "Since you have nothing to say, then follow my rules." ”
"I'm on the throne for the first time, and I don't know the names and positions of your Aiqing, so you might as well introduce yourself and let me recognize it."
When the ministers heard this, their hearts moved, this is not bad, and the situation has been opened.
Xiaolongnu didn't care what the ministers thought, she walked up to a minister at random and asked, "Start with you, what is your name, where you come from, what position you were in before, what part of the work you are responsible for, and then report your work to me." ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen Lu Qinming, born in Fanyang Lu's family, is a waiter in the household department, mainly responsible for household registration management."
The minister looked like he was forty or fifty years old, and when he was asked by the little dragon girl, he immediately trembled, and hurriedly went out and replied.
"Lu Qinming, let me ask you, how many households are there in my Dazhou at present, and what is the population?"
Xiaolongnu nodded, and then asked, "Among them, how much is the young, what is the young man, how is the young man, and what is the old?" ”
"This."
When Lu Qinming heard this, he was immediately covered with cold sweat, and squeaked: "Your Majesty, Weichen has to go back and look through the information to find out." ”
"Oh? As a household servant, you don't even know your job? ”
Xiaolongnu's face remained unchanged, looked at him, and said, "I don't care how you become a household servant, but obviously, you can't do your job. ”
"Someone comes, drag Lu Shilang down, strip off his official robe, take away his official body, reward him with fifty boards, and throw him out of the palace."
As soon as the words fell, two guards quickly entered the main hall and dragged the pale-faced Lu Qinming outside.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is a member of the Fan Yang Lu clan, and he can't be punished by a doctor, and he can't be courteous to a concubine, Your Majesty."
Lu Qinming hurriedly called for help, hoping that his family background could suppress the new emperor, and also hoped that the ministers could intercede for him.
"Hmph, who told you that you can't be punished by a doctor? I don't have this rule in Da Zhou! ”
Xiaolongnu snorted coldly and said: "As a household servant, but I don't even know the population of the world, no wonder the world is in chaos and the people are not happy!" ”
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were silent, and they did not dare to intercede for Lu Qinming.
Yes, you can't even do your own job, and others can't open their mouths if they want to intercede for you!
Who can be blamed for this, but yourself!
"Alright, please the next one."
"You, yes, that's you, come on, show!"
After a 'cordial' conversation, Xiaolongnu had a general understanding of the hundreds of officials in the entire court.
Most of the officials are from the family, have a prominent background, and have received a good education.
But there were also some shoddy guys mixed in, and they were all kicked out by the little dragon girl.
These guys have no ink on their chests, but they can blend into the court as officials, and the little dragon girl's mouth is crooked.
After counting, there were as many as 30 people who were messing around, and she took all of them away in a fit of anger, beat them up and then drove them out.
"Zhongqing, there are so many vacancies now, do you have any recommended candidates?"
After chatting cordially with the ministers, the little dragon girl sat back on the dragon chair and looked down at everyone.
Everyone lowered their heads and looked at their toes, and their hearts were so scared that they dared to speak casually.
This new emperor doesn't talk about martial arts, he fights when he says he says, and he grabs the official when he says he will seize the official, which is even more brutal than Yang Guang!
"Well, let's go back and think about it, three days later, at the court meeting, I want to see your list of recommended candidates, as well as a detailed transcript of your own work, as well as the future deployment of your own work, as well as your views and suggestions on the general trend of the world."
Glancing at the silent officials, Xiaolongnu said coldly: "In this me, the capable are up and the mediocre are down, not looking at family background, not looking at qualifications, only looking at ability!" ”
"Don't say I won't give you a chance, I've already given you the opportunity, whether you can grasp it or not depends on you."
"Retreat!"
With that, she stepped down from the dragon chair and left the Jinluan Palace.
As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office.
The first fire of her new emperor's ascension to the throne burned to the bodies of civil and military officials.
The current Great Zhou can be described as internal and external troubles, with uprisings all over the world, rebels everywhere, and the people are struggling to make a living.
Of course, with Xiaolongnu's own strength, she doesn't have to worry about her own safety.
Even if the rebel army hits the imperial city, she can get out safely and will not worry about her life.
But since she has decided to do something for this world and leave some traces in this world, she will not treat being an emperor as a child's play.
If she doesn't straighten out the affairs of the court, even if she suppresses the rebels outside, she won't be able to do a good job.
That's why she will burn the first fire to the bodies of civil and military officials.
The only way to do this is to rectify the court first, let the decrees go smoothly, make the arms and fingers, and let the large machine of the Great Zhou run well.
Only then can she free up her hands to regain the lost territory, suppress the rebellion of the world, and reunify the country and even the world.
She wants to let the Great Zhou Dragon Flag be planted in every inch of land under the sun, and where the sun and moon shine, it is the land of the Great Zhou King! (End of chapter)
