Chapter 19: The Imperial Ceremony
Everyone came to a restaurant, sat in the private room, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and Li Xiaoer said at this moment: "Brother Gong, what is the matter with calling everyone over this time." β
Gong Li put down the wine glass and said: "I invited you to come here to watch the ceremony, the eldest brother inherits the emperor's will and inherits the unification." Everyone was also surprised, and Lin Yun said, "Didn't you say that you won't start saluting until after March? It seems that except for Li Xiaoer, everyone else knows these things.
Gong Li sighed and explained to everyone, since the disappearance of his father two years ago, the empire has been troubled by internal and external troubles, and the Chiyou country has harassed the border, causing the people to live in misery, and the eldest brother is the prince in charge of the country, and he is constrained by the internal nobles, after all, he has not inherited the unification, and some things are very difficult to do.
After listening to Gong Li's narration, Lin Yun said: "Cousin, you don't have to worry too much, my father said, some things are just to obey the destiny of heaven and do your best." Listening to Lin Yun's comfort, Gong Li also shook his head, and then said: "Don't talk about these unhappy things, this viewing ceremony is also spectacular, everyone is okay anyway, just play." β
Everyone was drunk and dazed, and they went to rest, Tang Ji paged Gong Li to take him to have fun, Li Xiaoer was not interested in this way, at this time, Mo was very fresh about finding fun, so he followed around, Li Xiaoer sighed secretly: It's over, this time there is another ruffian dragon, and he has a headache, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to these.
The third year of the Huiji (i.e., 10803, the first meeting is 10800, the opening of the Great War of the Deer, the new year of the establishment of the Yanhuang Empire, about the time system of the world: 1 day = 12 hours (Chen), January = 30 days, 1 year = 12 months, 1 century = 30 years. 1 fortune = 12 years, 1 will = 30 fortune = 10800 years, 1 yuan = 12 will = 129600 years)
Everyone came to the prayer square, there are many people standing on the viewing platform around the square, around the inside of the square, there are many big drums, and the guards are standing around the guards, at this moment a young man wearing an imperial robe slowly enters from the door, followed by an old man on the left, the old man is holding a white staff, a gray robe, following him like an immortal, on the right is Bai Wenting, wearing armor, carrying a giant sword, the momentum is like a rainbow, followed by twelve court women, slowly walking to the high platform in the center of the square, there is an incense case above the high platform, the young man stands on the high platform, everyone on the viewing platform is on one knee, meet the youth, this person is the palace of the lord of the Yanhuang Empireγ
Gong Yu shouted loudly at this moment: "Everyone, please be exempt from courtesy...... and everyone on the viewing platform stood up, and at this moment, the big drums around the square were beaten.
The location arranged by Gong Li for them is very good, and it is also close to the middle, Li Xiaoer asked who the old man next to Gong Li was, and Gong Li replied: "That is the national teacher Tianjizi, whose real name is Bai Zhenyan, and he is Bai Wenting's father." β
Li Xiaoer looked up, Gong Yu began to read out the book of sacrifice to the sky, at this moment there is a magic circle on the head of Gong Yu, which is to inform the people of the Yanhuang Empire that the new emperor is on the throne, and at this moment, all parts of the empire are learning the news through the sound transmission array.
In the Shennong clan, a burly middle-aged man stood on the high platform, listening to the heavenly sacrifice book, and a guard behind him knelt on the ground and reported: "Report ...... Lord, Miss is now attending the ceremony in the Xuanyuan Imperial Capital. The man waved his hand, and the guard stepped back. The middle-aged man is the Yanhuang Emperor, when the Yanhuang Empire was established, Shennong did not compete with Xuanyuan for the throne, so he called the emperor to inherit the Shennong clan, Xuanyuan did not force it, so he established the imperial capital to rule the empire, and the Shennong clan became a country within a country, and later the two clans married closely, and they did not distinguish each other.
At this moment, Emperor Yan also sighed, the internal turmoil in the empire continued, and his daughter actually ran to wade into the troubled waters, and at this time he said to the air: "Go to the imperial capital and protect the young lady......" A voice in the void returned: "Obey the ......" At this moment, Emperor Yan continued to listen to the sound coming from the magic circle and looked into the distance.
As Gong Yu on the viewing platform finished reading the documents, there was a sound in the sky, and at this moment, Tianjizi took out the big seal and handed it to Gong Yu, at this time, a discordant voice sounded: "Everyone, without the Hetuluo Book, how can it be regarded as inheriting the unification...... Everyone followed the voice and looked at it, it was what the imperial uncle Gong Mucheng said, at this moment, Gong Yu on the high platform frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Uncle Huang, the lonely inheritance of the great unification is for the safety of the society, and now the empire is worried about internal and external troubles...... , and the father was heard from again...... I hope Uncle Huang understands. β
"Hmph...... Huangkou Xiaoer, since the beginning of the empire, the Hetuluo book is a symbol, if this treasure disappears, how can you be qualified to be the unification. After Gong Mucheng's words were finished, the officials and nobles began to discuss, the whereabouts of the Hetu Luoshu are unknown, so the successor emperor has no symbolic things, how to protect the empire.
Seeing everyone's different opinions at this moment, Gong Mucheng said again: "Your father is my eldest brother, and I am also of Xuanyuan blood, and I helped my eldest brother pacify the border and manage civil strife, since there is no Hetuluo Shu to be called the emperor, why am I not qualified to ......"
Bai Wenting shouted loudly: "Bold, do you want to rebel?" As the chief of the palace's internal guards, Bai Wenting questioned Gong Mucheng at this moment.
Gong Mucheng said directly: "There is no qualification for you to speak here, now I only ask, where is the Hetu Luoshu!?"
Be quiet...... At this moment, there was no sound of discussion in the audience, and Gong Yu opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Huang has this question, and he can understand it, but when Uncle Huang ascends the throne, he must also ask the four clans if they agree, isn't it............?
Seeing that the surrounding nobles and ministers all nodded yes, Gong Mucheng also knew that this matter should not be rushed, and said to Gong Yu: "Since this is the case, then invite the four clans to come to negotiate, this king has no opinion." β
At this time, the sacrifice to the sky could not continue, everyone could only disperse, Gong Yu clenched his fists in his robe at the moment, Tianjizi said a few words to him, and went to the court.
Li Xiaoer looked at this dramatic scene and said to Gong Li: "This ...... What is the Hetuluo Book?"
Gong Li explained: "Hetu Luoshu is a treasure outside the sky, and it was with this treasure that he repelled Chi You, and then it was held by each generation of emperors, but my father was missing...... The Hetuluo Book represents the Mandate of Heaven of the Yanhuang Empire, alas...... So today, the emperor is threatening with this, and the eldest brother is helpless. β
After listening to these explanations, Li Xiaoer asked, "Isn't there any way to find it in your clan?"
"Originally, there was a secret method, but the eldest brother also used it, the eldest brother practiced diligently, and he has been sensing it for two years, but he has no clue. Gong Li was very lonely, and at this moment Tang Ji came over and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
There is no good way for everyone to do it, but to resign themselves to fate, and it seems that the civil strife in this palace is about to begin.
