In the original history, Liu Zhiyuan's proclaiming himself emperor was not so complicated. After refusing the persuasion of his officials, officers and soldiers several times, he agreed. But this time, with Liu Chengyou's participation in the planning, the momentum was very loud. After doing enough superficial work, it still added a "yellow robe" drama.
The yellow robes are all put on, so the "rescue" mission from the east is naturally impossible today. Among the tens of thousands of troops, Liu Zhiyuan sounded depressed and depressed, and was helplessly "held back" by the original route.
"The Emperor has returned to the city! The Emperor has returned to the city!"
On Jinyang's side, the city gate was wide open, and more than a dozen knights flew straight in. They quickly shuttled through the streets of the city, repeating loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
In the past few days, the theme of the entire city was "petition", "encouraging progress" and "supporting the establishment". The scholars and the people were very sensitive. As soon as they heard this news, the melon-eaters also quickly became interested.
In a shop, a few guests gathered together to drink and chat. Looking at the knights passing by, some people looked a little confused and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say they were going to Hebei to rescue the emperor? We only set out early in the morning, and it only took half a day. Has it been rescued?"
There are always smart people in the market. Hearing his words, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar smiled and replied: "The one who returns to the city is probably the new emperor!"
"The new emperor? Could it be the King of Peking?" There is more than one smart person.
"It must be the King of Peiping!" the middle-aged man affirmed, raised his wine glass and shouted: "Everyone, the King of Peiping has ascended the throne, and the world has been saved. We will congratulate him and let us all know it!"
The "enthusiastic" response in the stores is just a microcosm of Jinyang city. After about an hour, the imperial chariot returned, and a large number of people gathered at the city gate to welcome him "warmly".
As the royal driver entered the city, all along the way he passed, he heard the cheers of the soldiers and people in the city. Most of these people were deceived. In their view, the new emperor was "canonized" by them. The petition in front of the Prince's Palace in Peking that day was obviously very effective.
When we arrived at Taiyuan Palace, we faced the palace gate wide open and didn't stop at all until we reached the front of the main hall.
Taiyuan Palace, especially the main hall, has obviously been carefully cleaned, and it looks completely new upon entering. The palace gates everywhere have been occupied, and the roads are full of energetic guards.
In front of the palace, headed by Liu Chengxun, supplemented by Liu Chong, Yang Bin and other important ministers, a large number of civil and military personnel from Hedong were waiting for him early. When Liu Zhiyuan got out of the car, they all bowed down and said, "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Liu Zhiyuan still only wore the yellow robe on his armor, probably to reflect his "voluntary" status. He glanced at the large group of people kneeling in front of him. He basically knew these people, but his mood at this time was very different.
"My lords... be free!" The mood was obviously not as calm as shown on his face, and there was a slight trembling in Liu Zhiyuan's words.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A group of civil and military officials shouted in unison with excited voices.
Without saying anything more, he took a deep breath, and under the support of everyone, Liu Zhiyuan walked solemnly towards the main hall, crossed the high threshold, and walked straight towards the throne.
Receive the registration in Taiyuan Palace, read the edict, hold the enthronement ceremony, and accept the worship of all ministers...
This series of events is actually enough to prove that Liu Zhiyuan's "yellow robe" is definitely not an accident. Yang Bin and others were really well prepared...
Inside and outside the hall, there were many civil and military officials. Liu Chengyou knelt among them and glanced at Liu Zhiyuan on the throne very carefully. He was so tall and majestic, and with the blessing of supreme power, his aura seemed to be even more powerful.
At this moment, Liu Chengyou could no longer contain his imagination. When he sat in that position, he saw what a beautiful scenery it was.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Liu Chengxun on the left side of the hall, and when he saw his eldest brother's suppressed excitement, he couldn't help but frown. Under his inherent thinking, he must inherit this country in the future. However, now, no matter how you look at it or compare it, Liu Chengxun is the first heir.
After all, he is the prince of Peiping. He is old and virtuous, and he is loved by Liu Zhiyuan and respected in both civil and military affairs... And if he wants to ascend to the throne, unless Liu Chengxun suddenly falls ill like in history, this is also Liu Chengyou's inherent idea.
But at this moment, he couldn't help but think too much. What if there was an "accident"? Although Liu Chengxun's body is not strong, he has never experienced any serious illness or disaster. If...
The more he thought about it, a dark little snake began to bite Liu Chengyou's heart bit by bit.
Amidst the shouts of "Long live" from the ministers, Liu Chengyou buried his head lower and lower, as if he wanted to hide his autistic expression, but he couldn't help but a variety of complex thoughts and emotions emerged in his heart.
The enthronement ceremony was not very long, and all the rituals were simplified to the extreme, and could even be described as rudimentary. Among the civil and military officials in Hedong, there were not many knowledgeable people, and no one would bother to propose holding ceremonies according to the cumbersome "old system and old rituals".
After accepting the worship, Liu Zhiyuan officially entered the Taiyuan Palace. The few maids, eunuchs, and various agencies in the palace are also busy. Tonight, the new emperor is going to have a banquet with all the ministers.
The ministers dispersed, the civil servants calmed the people, and the military generals comforted the army, striving to ensure stability and order during the period when the new emperor ascended the throne.
There was no intention of appointing officials and honors on a large scale. The last scene itself was already a bit "fantasy". If the list of merit-based rewards had been prepared in advance, it would be too fake.
However, Liu Zhiyuan boldly issued an edict to those middle and lower-level officers and soldiers who fought hard to support him, asking Wang Zhang to send money and food from the treasury, buy wine and meat, and reward the three armies of Jinyang. To the sergeant.
Liu Zhiyuan seemed to attach particular importance to the army.
When Liu Zhiyuan became emperor, the Peking Palace was automatically upgraded to a Qian residence. The news of his proclaimed emperor reached the mansion immediately. The servants in the mansion were full of joy and excitement. The king became an official. They, the real "chickens and dogs", naturally benefited from it.
Compared to the excitement of the people below, Ms. Li showed a ladylike demeanor, calm and generous, even when she was happy, she seemed very calm.
When Liu Chengyou took his people back to the palace, the joyful commotion in the palace had calmed down under Li's control, and everything was as usual. Liu Chengyou was quite surprised by this. After the servants respectfully guided him into the mansion, Liu Chengxun immediately came forward excitedly: "Second brother, has father really become the emperor?"
This kid is no longer afraid of Liu Chengyou's Sima face.
"Yes!" Liu Chengyou nodded without a smile, then looked at him calmly and said calmly: "From now on, you will also be a nobleman, and you must set an example for others in every move you make, and you must restrain your own behavior..."
"Why are you like my mother, always preaching when you open your mouth!" The young man was in high spirits, but obviously couldn't listen, and complained slightly.
"Where's my mother?"
"In the main hall."
In the main hall, Mrs. Li and her concubines were waiting quietly, while Mr. Geng was also sitting in the corner.
Liu Chengyou was dressed in military armor and walked in with his guards vigorously. Li's voice was still so kind: "Erlang."
Facing Li's gaze, Liu Chengyou bowed down first: "My father has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and I am here to welcome my mother into the palace!"
"From now on, you will be the most noble woman in the world, kind to the people, and a mother to the world!" On the way slowly driving towards Taiyuan Palace, Liu Chengyou approached the car and said to Mrs. Li in a rare initiative.
