Liangshan's edict spread quickly, and Sun Lei would worship heaven on the third day of March and hold a coronation ceremony, which became the hottest topic.
Tokyo City, in the small shop of Sister-in-law Gu and Sun Xin.
"Haha, my brother is about to ascend the throne, and I invite you back to watch the ceremony!"
Shi Qian looked at Ma Lin, Sister Gu, Sun Xin, Lehe, Zhang San and Li Si with a smile.
"The day has finally come!"
Everyone laughed. After learning that Sun Lei would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor on the third day of March, they were also overjoyed. Liangshan finally took the most important step.
"Brother Shi Qian, thank you brother for us, but I'm afraid we won't be able to go back now."
Ma Lin looked at Shi Qian and said, "Hurry up and change horses along the way. They can get back to Liangshan in one day and one night."
But the problem is that they have now established a foothold in Tokyo and come into contact with many people every day, many of whom are officials. If they leave suddenly at such a sensitive moment, all their previous efforts will be in vain.
"Yeah, we can't leave Tokyo in our current status!"
Lehe also said that many officials in Tokyo now like to invite them to perform for fun, and leaving at this time will definitely be suspected.
"That's what we mean too! It's not convenient for us to leave!"
Sister-in-law Gu and Sun Xin spoke.
Although it is the greatest prosperity in Liangshan and it is only once in this life, they would rather endure it for the sake of important things.
"These brothers are so righteous, and I will never forget your efforts!"
Shi Qian looked at everyone clasping their fists and saluting, saying that the intelligence station in Tokyo was established by him. He naturally knew the importance of the intelligence station here, and also knew that it would be difficult for everyone to leave.
"We can't go, but we can let people go!"
Ma Lin looked at Zhang San and Li Si with a smile. No one would notice the two thugs who were fooling around in the street and disappeared for a few days.
"us?"
Zhang San and Li Si were a little flattered. They had always been supporting characters. Why did they become the protagonists today? Everyone looked at them.
"My brother has ascended the throne. We can't go back without anyone from the Tokyo Intelligence Station. Someone has to give this gift. You haven't been to Liangshan either, so this time you go back and become familiar with each other! After all, I am the leader of Liangshan!"
Ma Lin looked at Zhang San and Li Si with a smile and said, "The two gangsters went to Liangshan to watch the ceremony. Even if people knew about it, they would just be regarded as just having fun and drinking together in the past. No one would doubt them."
Zhang San and Li Si were overjoyed when they heard this. They had been fascinated by Liangshan for a long time. Now that Liangshan was established and Sun Lei ascended the throne, they were overjoyed to be able to go to such a big event.
"Then take Zhang San and Li Si back!"
Shi Qian nodded. Only Zhang San and Li Si were suitable to go back in Tokyo.
"Come on, let's go get the gifts. I'm afraid we'll be busy tomorrow!"
Lehe said with a smile that they had already prepared the gift for Sun Lei. The news had spread this afternoon, and the morning of tomorrow would definitely not be peaceful. They might have to rush to various mansions again.
Early the next morning, before dawn, there were countless sedans in Tokyo carrying lanterns heading towards the imperial palace. During the night, Zhao Ji had already announced that all officials in Tokyo, big and small, as long as they had official status, should go to the imperial palace to discuss matters.
This is the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty that there are thousands of high-ranking officials in Tokyo, ranging from princes and first-rank officials to minor officials from the ninth rank.
"so many people?"
Sun Li looked at the endless crowd of people on Yu Street and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he didn't know better, he would have thought that today was the Lantern Festival, and the streets were full of officials and entourage holding lanterns.
According to the etiquette system, only officials of the fourth rank and above need to go to court, and those below the fourth rank can only go to court if summoned. But today, all casual officials from the ninth rank can come, and the number is four to five thousand.
Sun Li was the third-ranked general of Gui De. He was a military general, so naturally he couldn't ride in a sedan chair. He rode a horse and approached the imperial street, and there were guards who led him directly to the gate of the palace.
"I've seen a childlike appearance!"
Sun Li saw Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Cai You and others at the palace gate, and immediately came behind Tong Guan and greeted him in a low voice.
"Um!"
Seeing that Sun Li was so understanding, Tong Guan nodded with satisfaction.
Cai Jing frowned. Today's imperial meeting is not ordinary. Officials from Tokyo, big and small, are here. There is only one reason. Liangshan wants to establish a country, and Sun Lei wants to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. This is something the emperor cannot allow.
Cai Jing wanted to pretend to be sick today and not come. He was already older, so it was reasonable for him to be sick. However, the emperor seemed to have expected that officials would claim that he was ill. His decree was very clear, as long as he was still alive, he must come.
With this decree, no one dares to be careful. If he complains of illness and refuses to go away at this time, tomorrow he will have nothing to do at home.
"Why didn't your Majesty open the small door today?"
A first-rank official asked in a low voice. He was a royal prince. According to past customs, the palace door had to wait until dawn before opening, but the emperor would open a small door for senior officials and let them wait in the prison room. Instead of standing outside the palace gate and waiting like now.
"Keep your voice down, something is wrong, don't talk for a while!"
An old prince whispered that they, the princes, did not go to court on weekdays. They were supported by the clan anyway, so they could just enjoy themselves.
"Your Majesty has decreed that all officials should enter the palace!"
A eunuch shouted in a shrill voice just as the sun emerged.
The Xuandemen palace door was slowly opened by the guards, and the officials entered the palace in order of rank.
Although the Daqing Hall is not small, it can never accommodate four to five thousand officials.
"Everyone, stop it!"
The eunuch leading the way shouted at the entrance of Daqing Palace.
"Servant, we haven't even entered the main hall yet!"
Cai You looked at the chamberlain and asked.
"Your Majesty has an order. The Daqing Palace cannot accommodate so many officials. All your lords, please line up in this square!"
The eunuch spoke.
"In this square?"
I won't do that kind of clan work for now, but it's still the end of February and the weather is cold. Standing in the square this morning is not freezing.
"My lords, this is your Majesty's order!"
The eunuch spoke.
These words made all the clan members furious. They were clan members and should not be treated like this.
"Tong Xiang, if we talk about Liangshan today, how will we respond?"
Sun Li stood next to Tong Guan and asked in a low voice. He meant "we", which instantly drew him into the relationship with Tong Guan.
Tong Guan glanced at Sun Li. After all, they were all generals. Sun Li took the initiative to ask him and communicate with him, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
"Those thieves are rebelling, we will definitely destroy them, it's just a matter of time!"
Tong Guan said, if the emperor really asked, as military generals, they must express their attitude, but going out to suppress bandits is not something that happens overnight.
"Childlike appearance is brilliant, I understand!"
Sun Li smiled and took a step back after speaking.
Officials were still entering Daqingdian Square one after another, and soon Daqingdian Square was filled with officials.
At this time, those officials realized something was wrong. Even though the low-ranking officials were standing in the square, the first- and second-ranking officials were also standing in the square.
No one dared to speak. This court meeting was full of weirdness, and the most conspicuous thing to do at this time was to hit the muzzle of the gun. (End of chapter)
