Chapter 385: Enthronement Ceremony to Relieve the Siege

On the 7749th day after the death of Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui, Sima Chi ascended the throne and was called Emperor Huai of Jin by later generations. On that day, the sky was overcast and the wind was blowing. The civil and military officials and guests who came to the court did not have smiling faces, but just watched the ceremony be completed step by step.

Sima Chi sat on the dragon chair in the main hall and was silent. Sima Yue was busy before and after, ushered in the send-off, sweating profusely, and couldn't stop at all.

Yang Xianrong has been promoted to the empress dowager, and the new empress Liang Lanbi sat behind Sima Chi, of course, her seat is still half a foot in front of her, in order to show her honorable status.

Externally, there is a screen that blocks everyone's view.

She was still wearing sackcloth, only gold and jade earrings, and her thin face would be distressed by anyone who saw it.

Such a young empress dowager is also fate.

Sima Yue had already read Sima Zhen's holy decree in front of the hall, and read Sima Chi's first holy decree, the central idea was that he Sima Yue was now the Taifu and Prime Minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he had the right to be above 10,000 people under one person.

As for Sima Zhen's nickname, he was finally determined to be Emperor Xiaohui, who was about to be buried in the Sun Mausoleum at the southern foot of Pishan. Due to the current flooding, the time has been postponed for 10 days. In addition, the harem women were to be commended for the emperor's perseverance during the turmoil, and they were allowed to be buried with the emperor.

This may seem like a grace, but in fact it is a funeral.

Everyone vaguely saw Yang Xianrong's delicate face through the screen, and couldn't help whispering. But Yang Xianrong still had no expression, just looked at the folded bright yellow silk in her hand, which had the words that Sima Cheng left for her.

Soon, the enthronement process entered the link of giving gifts to the guests, the official read out the list of gifts, and the giver also knelt in front of Sima Chi's eyes, always showing surrender. Sima Chi still didn't speak, and even showed impatience.

The list of gifts was indeed too long, and in addition to some precious coral treasures, many people sent rare herbs and a lot of food. Thinking about the war for a long time, these things are what Dajin needs most at present.

But Sima Chi didn't want to hear it, and even stood up for a while, wanting to pay tribute. Sima Yue thought that this was extremely rude, and repeatedly asked Sima Chi to hold back. But Sima Chi suddenly said: "People have three urgencies, even the emperor has times when he can't help it." ”

After saying this, he picked up his dragon robe and left. Liang Lanbi saw this situation and hurriedly chased him out. She is the granddaughter of Liang Hongji, the third secretary of Yitong, and the official who pays the most attention to etiquette. She also felt that Sima Chi's behavior was very unruly, and she wanted to pull him back.

Now, the more Sima Yue was left behind, he was so angry that he wanted to die, but he had to maintain his face and blame the giver.

The person who gave the gift was Liu Yuan, his son Liu Cong and his son Liu Yao, these three people were high-spirited men, and they didn't intend to kneel down to worship Sima Chi, standing there and watching Sima Chi leave suddenly, his face immediately collapsed.

Liu Yuan squinted at Sima Yue and asked, "Lord Wang, this is not appropriate, right?" I thought that I was also a courtier of the Great Jin Dynasty back then, and the emperor didn't dare to do this to me. Why, now that I am also the king of a country, does the new emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty want to snub me? ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, the emperor suddenly felt unwell, and this king apologized to you for him first." Sima Yue smiled, "The king doesn't need to be angry, how about we go to Jinyang Palace for a drink?" ”

"What does this look like?" Liu Yuan and Sima Yue are the same age, but they have a strong physique, and they look much younger than Sima Yue. The two sons beside him are even more heroic, and there is an invisible threat standing behind him.

Sima Yue's personal soldiers quietly surrounded him, afraid that if there was any change in the three of them, it would be detrimental to his own prince.

How could Liu Yuan not see it, and sneered: "I originally came to negotiate peace with you with good intentions and showed the greatest sincerity, but now you treat me like this?" There's no need to talk about it, just leave it! ”

"Why bother, it's not too late to have a meal before you go." Behind the screen, a woman's voice was neither loud nor small, not slow.

Liu Yuan had already turned around, but when he heard this, he turned around and asked, "Who is talking?" ”

Sima Yue naturally knew that Yang Xianrong had already opened his mouth, and he was even more anxious, and said behind the screen: "This is a matter of the court, and the Empress Dowager doesn't need to speak." ”

"Don't, all the people who come are guests, not to mention that everyone is here to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, and there must always be a number of courtesies." Yang Xianrong had already stood up and walked out from behind the screen.

At this time, Yang Xianrong is already a woman in her teenage years, tall and tall, after this incident, she has faded away from the shyness of a girl, and now standing in front of everyone makes people have a kind of beauty that can't take their eyes off, like a fairy shrouded in light smoke and going down to the world, elegant and noble, especially the white jade earrings around the ears, which sets off this unique beauty.

Liu Yuan was obviously stunned, opened his mouth, and didn't even speak.

The black eyes of the sheep are deep, as if there is a kind of bewitchment. "Since he used to be a courtier of the Great Jin, he also understands that the Great Jin is a country of etiquette, and if he leaves the table halfway, it must be wrong. The king sent so much grain, cattle and sheep, and the Great Jin will inevitably return the favor. ”

"Oh." Liu Yuan held back for a long time, and only uttered such a syllable.

Sima Yue frowned and said, "The Empress Dowager is unwell, so she can go back to rest." ”

"This is the prince's mistake, even if the palace is not feeling well, you still have to treat your guests sincerely, isn't it?" Yang Xianrong smiled lightly, making Sima Yue speechless. Immediately afterwards, she said: "Ten days later, the first emperor, oh, Emperor Xiaohui's funeral ceremony, you still have to invite everyone to participate, but you can't just leave." ”

"That's just as well." Liu Yuan nodded, Liu Cong and Liu Yao behind him also looked at Yang Xianrong fixedly, especially Liu Yao, when he saw Yang Xianrong coming out from behind the screen, he had already lost his soul, and his heart was all on Yang Xianrong's body, and even his brother Liu Cong on the side didn't react when he pulled his sleeve.

"Brother, brother." Liu Cong tugged at his sleeve again.

"Huh? What's the matter? Liu Yao reacted at this time and responded to him in a low voice, "Fourth brother, what are you doing to pull my sleeves?" ”

"My father said that he would follow the Empress Dowager to give Emperor Xiaohui a pillar of incense and go to Xianyang Palace." Liu Cong pointed to Liu Yuan, who was talking to Yang Xianrong, "Let's go with him." ”

"Oh, yes." Liu Yao reacted at this time, he couldn't hear anything for a moment just now, just looked at Yang Xianrong's little face in a daze, and there were bursts of uncontrollable distress.
