Chapter 349: The Empress Ascends the Throne
In the spring of the fourth year of Yongxing, the empress ascended the throne.
This year, the year name was changed to the year of the empress.
This day is the day when the empress ascends the throne.
The seventeenth princess Yingying was very cooperative, and nothing went wrong halfway, thanks to Chen Chao's profound kung fu in coaxing the children in the past few days.
On this day, the atmosphere inside and outside the capital was a little strange.
Because since the founding of the country, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be the emperor, not to mention, it is still a female doll to be the emperor.
In fact, everyone knows that this is a strategy used by the Chen Dynasty.
ordained a well-controlled female doll as the emperor, but in fact, he completed the real monopoly of power later.
His name is Prime Minister, but he is actually no different from the new Emperor of Daji.
But when the empress ascended the throne, no one dared to oppose it, because those who opposed it were all beheaded a few days ago, and their homes were raided and their clans were wiped out.
Worship ancestors, burn incense, and tell heaven and earth......
After a series of processes, the emperor's chariot went out of the palace gate and paraded through the streets, and the emperor's grace was immense.
At that time, Emperor Yongxing ascended the throne without the process of parading the streets, and the Chen Dynasty added this process halfway, and he didn't know what to do.
The Emperor's lavish chariots slowly marched through the streets, flanked by people kneeling and heavily armed soldiers leading the way.
Last night, an edict on the throne written by Fang Xiu was sent to the palace.
In the end, this scholar chose to believe in the Chen Dynasty and believed that the Chen Dynasty could lead Daji to rejuvenation.
Bang Bang Bang!
Striking the gong, the chariot had to stop for a while every time it walked, and the eunuch took the edict of enthronement and read it out of his throat.
The people kneeling on both sides of the road heard the words and whispered:
"The Empress ascends the throne? Did I hear me right? ”
"That's right, that's what I said...... This is about to change. ”
"How can a woman be put on the throne? Or a female doll? ”
The crowd exploded all of a sudden, and the discussion point of everyone was still on whether a woman could be an emperor.
Women have been emperors for eternity, and they are all blindfolded.
"The Empress? Isn't that? Why do I need a woman to be in power? ”
"The empress ascended the throne, didn't it make the world laugh and laugh at me? What did the princes think in their hearts? ”
"Who knows......"
The topic quickly fermented in the crowd, and it only took a moment for it to evolve into an uncontrollable level, but fortunately, there were enough soldiers responsible for maintaining order, and those unarmed people only dared to say two words when they saw the fierce soldiers, and in fact did not take any action.
As the prime minister, Chen Chao led the hundred officials, followed behind the chariot, and moved slowly.
Listening to the sound of controversy in his ears, Qin Xiangru leaned over to Chen Chao and whispered:
"Xiangye, why do you want to parade the streets? It is easy to cause unrest. ”
The process of parade on the street was added by Chen Chao at his insistence, but Chen Chao did not say the reason.
Chen Chao smiled, "You'll know in a moment." ”
Qin Xiangru was still puzzled, but when the convoy passed through a relatively crowded street, the scene in the alley made his eyes shrink.
Click, click......
With a few sounds, several people in the alley had their throats cut by officers and soldiers, and blood sprayed wantonly on the walls.
At first glance, there are quite a few corpses in the alley.
The corpses were dressed in all kinds of clothes, street vendors, civilians, merchants, and even women......
Next to the pile of corpses, a stack of weapons collected from them was thrown, including daggers and short knives.
The soldiers in charge of the beheading saw the chariot passing by and knelt on the ground and clenched their fists.
Qin Xiangru looked at the chariot carrying the empress in front of him, and then looked at Chen Chao, who had a calm face, and understood.
The Chen Dynasty wanted to use the empress's parade to lure out the people in the shadows and wipe them out.
"Assassin, Assassin!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Finally, nearly an hour after the procession out of the palace, a large-scale assassination finally took place.
Woohoo!
On the second floor of the shops on both sides, many sharp, glowing arrows suddenly appeared, and the crossbows tightened, shooting towards the gorgeous chariot.
The sound of the breaking wind came, and the soldiers in charge of the escort reacted very quickly, and surrounded the chariot and the courtiers in the middle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of loud noises rang out, and shields weighing dozens of pounds smashed to the ground.
At the same time, the characteristic chariots, hidden four-sided iron plates, fall quickly, firmly protecting the entire carriage in the middle.
In an instant, the whole street was in chaos, and the people scattered and fled.
The arrows hit the shields and iron plates, but they had no effect at all, and they were all bounced away.
After a round of arrows, the Assassins rushed out from all directions, armed with a variety of weapons in their hands, and slashed at the convoy.
……
……
Meanwhile.
On the second floor of the teahouse not far away, half a window covers it.
An old man in a power suit squinted his eyes and looked at the scene of the battle in the distance.
The old man had a gloomy face and very deep eyes, and he was a man with a story.
Seeing the Assassins gradually defeated, the anger in their eyes deepened.
If Xu Hongdou was here, he would recognize who the old man was.
The old man is no one else, but Li Yu's most trusted old servant, named Old Servant, is actually the leader of Li Yu's secret power, surnamed Qian, and everyone generally calls him Qian Lao.
This assassination was directed and planned by him behind the scenes, and the purpose was not to assassinate the empress in the car, but to Chen Chao!
But Qian Lao knew that this assassination would end in failure.
But no matter what, he did his best for Li Yu until the last moment.
He did it, and as for whether it succeeds or not, it depends on the will of God.
Seeing that the assassin's attack was gradually defused by the soldiers, Qian Lao couldn't help but clench his fists, gritted his teeth, and sighed with resentment.
At this moment, his ears moved, and he found a young man in black with his hair tied in a bun, sitting down opposite him as if nothing had happened.
"Someone."
Qian Lao's deep voice wanted to drive away the boy.
Xiao Han threw a bundle of rope on the table, stared at the old man opposite with calm eyes, and said lightly: "Do you tie yourself up yourself, or do you want me to do it." ”
Qian Lao's eyes deepened, and he sneered: "Your Excellency?" ”
Xiao Han looked at him, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and immediately spit it out, reaching out to wipe the corners of his lips...... It's terrible.
Seeing that the old man didn't mean to be caught, Xiao Han put a rusty iron sword behind his back on the table, and with a "poof", Qian Lao saw it, and his pupils suddenly shrank, "It's you?" ”
Xiao Han let out an "um" and frowned, "Actually, I should call you Senior Brother, right?" ”
Qian Lao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hoarsely voiced, "Senior brother, when did you enter the door?" ”
"It's been a few years." Xiao Han sighed faintly.
"Find the Chosen One?" Qian Lao asked again.
Xiao Han's fingers tapped on the tabletop, making a crisp clicking sound, and he raised his eyes and said, "The eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom!" ”
"A woman?" Qian Lao sneered.
Xiao Han was indifferent, and said expressionlessly: "It's better than Senior Brother's vision, then Li Yu is already dead, Senior Brother chooses him?" But he is already dead, he is not the Chosen One as Master said. ”
Qian Lao raised his head slightly, stared at the young man opposite, and changed the topic:
"What rank are you in the door?"
"Nine!"
Hearing this, without warning, Qian Lao rounded his arm, clenched his fist, and slammed it towards Xiao Han's temple.
Xiao Han's face was expressionless, and he raised his hand to block.
The violent true qi emanated from the two of them, and the entire second floor of the teahouse set off a gust of wind out of thin air, and the table between the two was instantly torn apart.
The blow missed, and Qian Lao couldn't help but be shocked.
Xiao Han finally had other expressions on his face, and smiled, "Senior brother, use some strength, haven't you eaten......?"
