The planned enthronement ceremony was not put on hold because of the Ancestral Temple incident.
At the moment of Shenshi, the new emperor put on his royal crown and went to the Jinluan Hall to accept the kneeling of all officials.
The old master Gan Boyuan, as the first elder of the three dynasties, personally presented the jade seal to the new emperor.
"Greetings to my emperor! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
All the officials congratulated each other, and their voices soared into the sky.
Chengqian Palace.
The emperor's bedroom.
The old man on the bed had cloudy eyes and was skinny. He looked slovenly and his body no longer had the aura of imperial dignity of the past.
Hearing the shouts from outside the hall, his eyes widened suddenly, and their eyes quickly overflowed red, looking ferocious and terrifying.
"Uh, uh, beast...I, I uh, that's——"
"Hahaha, do you want to say that you are the emperor?" Princess Changle dressed in peach red dress, walked into the bedroom with a bright smile on her face, but looked at Hong De with eyes as cold as frost blades, "I can't even get out of bed. Come on, are you still dreaming of ordering the world to think that you are the supreme being?"
She walked to the bed, looked down and coldly, and called him by his name, "Hong De, if you lose, you lose. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, you, the Supreme Emperor, are of no use. Guess how many days you can live? Ha ha ha ha!"
Hong De's eyes were scarlet and he was gasping, struggling to sit up, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"You want to kill me?" Princess Changle raised her lips sarcastically, "My life is like duckweed. Do you know why I am still alive today? Just to see with my own eyes what will happen to you! You were born as a human but you do things like animals After all, this is just an advantage for you!"
Tan's hand pinched Hong De's neck fiercely, and Chang Le's face turned stern, "Back then, because you were not favored, you hated the late emperor, and even directed that hatred toward my mother and concubine, and toward me! So you treat me as a human being. Send her to that man's bed like a prostitute! You just want to watch my princess suffer all kinds of humiliation to satisfy your perverted desires! Hong De, if you destroy me, even if you go to hell, I will not let you go. ! I will chop you into pieces with thousands of knives and crush your bones into ashes. I want you to never be reincarnated again!"
She tightened her hands tighter and tighter, looking at the face gradually distorted by suffocation in her hands, madness appeared in her eyes.
"No princess!" A big hand clamped down on her wrist, forcing her to let go and pulling her away.
Changle turned her head, staring hard at the man who blocked her with red, tearful eyes, and said word by word, "Let go, I'm going to kill him! A Li has ascended the throne, he doesn't need to live anymore!"
Broken Blade pursed his lips, his eyes were dark, and he held the woman's trembling body in his arms, "He is not worth your dirty hands."
His chest is warm, generous and reliable.
For a moment, she was almost addicted, but the next moment she pushed him away fiercely, "Don't touch me!"
Without the restraint, Changle left Chengqian Palace without looking back.
With his back to the man, his eyes were full of endless pain and tears were pouring down his face.
dirty……
Yeah, dirty.
He didn't know how dirty she was.
Broken Blade stood there, quietly watching the woman's retreating back. Only when he couldn't see her anymore did he look back at the person on the bed who was desperately opening his mouth to breathe.
He hates Hong De just as much, and his hatred is no less than that of the princess.
But if she wants Hong De to die, she can't do it.
Even if Hong De is full of crimes, the princess killing him would be regicide, and risking the whole world's disapproval.
Hong De is not qualified to add any more filth to the princess.
"General Yuan! The conferment of titles is about to begin. It's time to go to the Jinluan Hall and take orders!" A subordinate reminded him from outside the hall.
Duandao hummed, stepped forward to the bed, and looked into those muddy and frightened eyes.
He stretched out his hand and clasped Hong De's neck.
"Yuan Yao!" Maybe because the fear of approaching death was too much, Hong De could hardly speak clearly clearly, "You can't, uh, kill, me! Yuan Jiazhong, Gu Bu, no -"
Broken Blade tightened his fingers and spoke calmly, "You are wrong. Those who are loyal are those who are loyal. You are not worthy of it. I am not always so upright."
A clicking sound.
Hong De's eyes bulged, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and he lost his voice.
Broken Blade stopped and left calmly.
When a person dies, the past is dispersed.
In this way, the princess should feel a little relieved.
…
The new emperor ascended the throne and immediately issued an edict to inform the world.
The name of the country was changed to Xuanjing and he was called Emperor Xuanjing.
The sacrifices at the Emperor's Imperial Ancestral Temple were attacked. Those who served in the escort were rewarded according to their merits. Yuan Yao, the son of the Yuan family, was awarded the title of mighty general. There were many doubts about the Yuan family's treason case, and a thorough re-investigation was launched!
When the new emperor ascended the throne, he reduced taxes for three years and granted a general amnesty to the whole country. Except for those who committed most heinous crimes, they were exempted from punishment and returned home.
After the edict was issued, everyone inside and outside the imperial city celebrated.
The people who were frightened by the assassination of Taimiao took to the streets to cheer. Street shops were reopened with red silk hangings, and teahouses and restaurants were overcrowded.
"I didn't expect General Yuan to come to my rescue! It's a pity that I couldn't see the general's heroic appearance with my own eyes!"
"Now that General Yuan has returned to the court, the Yuan family's case will be retried, and justice will soon be redressed! Your Majesty is wise!"
"That's right, the one who can make General Yuan protect him with his white body must be Mingjun. I, Dai Viet, will be blessed in the future!"
"There were many people escorting the convoy that day. In addition to General Yuan, the princess also rushed over. It was really unexpected!"
"I heard that the situation was very critical at that time. Later, reinforcements fell from the sky, and then those who came to attack were killed! Their names didn't seem to be in the merit list this time. I wonder who they were? "
"The Emperor has so many talented people around him. How can we and the common people know everything? In short, the Emperor's tax reduction and exemption and amnesty are good things for the people. Come! Drink! You won't come home until you're drunk today!"
There were eight people sitting in a corner of the restaurant, listening to the discussions of the people in the lobby with smiles on their faces.
Tianbao also had a smile on his face.
In the past, people outside didn't even dare to mention Uncle Duandao's last name, but now it's great.
An upright person can finally stand openly in the sunshine again.
Ziyi poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Duandao and clinked it with him, "General, let me toast you."
The broken knife raised his lips and drank it all in one gulp.
Across the table, several boys looked at the only jar of wine on the table and sighed.
Especially Su Wu, who rested his chin on the table and groaned, "I heard that you need to practice to drink. When will we be able to drink like this?"
Wei Li raised his eyebrows and teased, "You can't do it today. If you drink a glass and pour it out, you won't be able to eat the meal."
Su Wu was hit so hard that he didn't even want to lift his head.
Su An and Su Wen were at ease, eating with chopsticks and having no time to talk.
Bai Yu ate slowly, put one hand under the table, and quietly poked the back of the girl's hand: Do you want to drink?
Tianbao: If you don’t drink, you will get drunk.
Bai Yu: The dessert shop next door has a kind of fermented rice wine, which tastes like alcohol but is not intoxicating.
Tianbao: Eat.
Bai Yu lowered his eyelids and curled his lips: I’ll buy it for you.
While chatting happily, Bai Yu was kicked in the knee.
He raised his head and looked at the young emperor across from him with a smile on his face.
The young emperor gave him a fake smile.
The roof was avenged that night when it was pushed open.
