On the twenty-eighth day of the winter lunar month, the new emperor of Jing Dynasty ascended the throne in Taiji Hall.
The red carpet outside Tai Chi Hall extends from the gate to the front of the hall. On both sides of the red carpet, colorful flags were flying, and hundreds of officials stood in silence. The sun shines on the red carpet, reflecting the festive colors.
The melodious bell rang, and the first guard of honor slowly entered from outside Xuanhe Gate. Under the canopy, Situ Ce, dressed in imperial robes, walked step by step towards Tai Chi Hall. His eyes were resolute, exuding a calm and authoritative temperament.
Under the attention of all the ministers, Situ Ce climbed up the steps and offered sacrifices to the Tiandi Ancestral Temple in front of the Taiji Hall.
"bye!"
At the end of the sacrifice, the ceremony shouted loudly.
All officials saluted.
Situ Ce looked at the ministers calmly, and finally stayed on the way he came.
It was a total of 256 steps from Xuanhemen to here. He transformed from a prince to an emperor. Before he left, his father said to him: "Repress the powerful, focus on agriculture and mulberry, help the people, open up the road, rectify the armed forces, and appease the border areas."
A few words weigh more than a thousand words.
He climbed onto Danbi and sat high on the dragon chair. He closed his eyes gently, feeling an indescribable complex emotion well up in his heart. There is both the excitement of inheriting the throne and the sadness of losing his father.
From this moment on, the thoughts he had in the past were no longer just thoughts. The Haiyan Heqing he wanted would be created by him.
"kneel!"
Dian Yi said loudly.
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
The ministers shouted loudly, their voices shaking the sky.
Situ Ce slowly opened his eyes, glanced firmly at the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is safe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The new emperor ascended the throne and granted a general amnesty to the world. He issued the following edict:
"Only my ancestors have fulfilled the destiny, founded the empire, and lived for democracy for nearly a hundred years. In the past ten or two years, our emperor has passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. In the past twelve years, he has been magnificent in politics, profound in benevolence, literary and moral, and martial in martial arts. Unify the four seas, and preserve the boundless power of the Emperor Ming for eternity. I felt sorry for the hardships of the people's livelihood, worked hard to govern, and visited to find out the pros and cons, but the news was not announced, and he died suddenly. I knocked on the sky and the earth, but I couldn't catch it. I looked at Fang Yin, who was sad and guilty, and laughed. Can you bear to inherit? However, the prince's civil and military ministers, as well as the senior military and civilian elders, have expressed their sincerity and perseverance in urging progress. I have no choice but to obey the last order. On the twenty-eighth day of the winter lunar month, I declare to heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country that I will be the emperor. . Restore Zhang Zhidao, appease the four directions, benefit the Li Yuan, use the foundation to build the foundation, and bring good fortune to the people. He designated the next year as the first year of Fengyi, amnesty for the world, and the beginning of reform with the people. All cooperation matters will be listed later..."
The first twenty articles of the edict were all amnesty orders, and from the twenty-first onwards, purges were proposed in terms of population, land sales, various taxes, armaments, grain and grass, etc.
After hearing this, all kinds of officials were either sincerely convinced or frowning. Situ Ce could not see clearly, but he was not in a hurry to see clearly at this moment.
After the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor hosted a banquet for the ministers. The ministers exchanged glasses, exchanged glasses, and congratulated the new emperor on his accession to the throne.
Although one day, his father passed away suddenly. During the dinner, although Situ Ceshi was not too sad, he could not be happy, but he did not want to displease the officials, so he just smiled and socialized.
"Your Majesty, although inheriting the throne is a happy event, it is not advisable to drink too much." Situ Ce raised his glass and wanted to drink, but Fu Qingchu stopped him.
Situ Ce turned to look at her, smiled helplessly, and said in a bitter tone: "If possible, I hope this happy event will come later."
He drank to drown his sorrows.
Fu Qingchu sighed secretly, "How can I not understand the Holy Spirit's heart?"
Hearing this, Situ Ce realized that he had lost his words. Fu Qingchu understood the pain of losing a loved one better than anyone else.
"I'm sorry." He said solemnly.
Fu Qingchu smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, as a common people and minister, should not drink so much."
Situ Ce smiled and nodded and said yes. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a low sound of a flute. The two of them turned around and saw a group of women in white dresses meandering towards them. They stood still as Xiao Qing sang softly in harmony. Like a flower bone.
The clear sound of the guzheng sounded slowly, and the girls who were petals scattered around. Following the rhythm of the music, the movements of the girls' feet also became faster. Suddenly, a heavy note fell, and a woman in a red dress among the crowd He jumped up, rolled up his sleeves, turned around, and looked at Situ Ce in front of him with charming eyes.
The woman has a graceful figure and dances gracefully to the music, like a blooming flower swaying in the wind. Every movement is full of feminine softness and charm. Every time I look back, I look at Situ Ce affectionately.
Fu Qingchu couldn't help but laugh. The new emperor's ascension to the throne was a good opportunity for everyone.
She turned to look at Situ Ce and saw that he was also smiling and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Fu Qingchu couldn't help but be a little surprised and turned to look at the dancing woman. She never expected that he also liked charming and delicate girls.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh, it was because of food and sex. Who doesn't like beautiful things? I also turned to enjoy the dance with him.
Cheng Hehe, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows at the dancing girl, with disgust almost overflowing from his face. He turned to look at Situ Ce and Fu Qingchu, who was kneeling behind him. Seeing both of them looking appreciative, Cheng Hehe couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Fu Qingchu, this stupid woman!
The music is cheerful and melodious, and the dance is as light as a swallow. As the music speeds up, the woman in red also runs towards Situ Ce with light and delicate steps, leaping into the air, just like the fairy in the painting.
"Congratulations to our emperor on his enthronement!"
The fairy knelt down and saluted Situ Ce.
"Okay!" Situ Ce stood up with a smile.
Fu Qingchu couldn't help but look at him. It was the first time tonight that she saw him so happy, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the death of Emperor Yuanhe, he has been depressed all day long. Now it is a good thing to have such a beautiful woman to divert his attention.
Situ Ce left the seat, went to help the woman up in person, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you haven't come to see me these days because you want to give me a surprise."
The girl smiled sheepishly, "I am also afraid that if I don't dance well, I will be embarrassed in front of the civil and military officials of the court."
"You dance very well," Situ Ce nodded in praise, "What reward do you want? I agree to it."
The girl shook her head, "I don't need a reward. It is my blessing to be by your Majesty's side."
Situ Ce smiled and said nothing, "If I take you to see the Queen Mother, she probably won't even recognize you."
After saying that, he held her wrist and said to Queen Mother Lu with a smile: "Look, Queen Mother, do you still recognize who this is?"
Queen Mother Lu looked at the girl, a little unsure, and smiled: "Isn't it Yun Xi?"
"Exactly."
"Concubine Cui Yunxi, please give my regards to the Queen Mother." Cui Yunxi said, kneeling down to salute the Queen Mother.
Queen Mother Lu smiled and nodded, "Wake up quickly. She's grown taller and more beautiful. I almost can't recognize you."
Cui Yunxi smiled and said that the Queen Mother was being ridiculous. Situ Ce led her to turn to Cheng Hehe: "This is your cousin-in-law."
She smiled and said a blessing, "cousin."
No matter how much he disliked Cheng Hehe, the fake smile on his face was very appropriate at the moment. He nodded in return and said with a smile: "I often hear His Majesty mention you."
Hearing this, Cui Yunxi was curious, "What did your Majesty say about me?"
Hearing this, Cheng Hehe's brows jumped. Isn't this a polite remark?
"Girl, you are born to be a great king, and I must find a good husband for you." Cheng Hehe looked at Cui Yunxi and smiled, with a very serious tone, "Your Majesty, why not choose among the new Jinshi next year. Cheng Zhongshu said there are several I am a scholar who has a good appearance and extraordinary appearance. In my opinion, if I go to high school next year, I can help my cousin pay attention to it..."
"Cousin..."
Seeing that Cheng Shehe was getting more serious as he spoke, Cui Yunxi hurriedly called her and looked at Situ Ce with a shy face.
Situ Ce smiled, looked at Cheng Hehe, and said meaningfully: "Your cousin-in-law is a warm-hearted person. When a man is married, a woman will be married. What is there to be ashamed of?"
"Cousin..." Cui Yunxi stamped her feet angrily, covered her face and ran away.
Seeing this, Fu Qingchu's face almost froze with laughter. Although she wasn't sure what Situ Ce had in mind for his cousin, based on Fu Qingchu's understanding of Cheng Hehe, she almost let her dislike show on her face. But the words were said so beautifully, even if Cui Yunxi had any thoughts, she was still struggling with whether her emperor brother really wanted to find her a good in-law.
At this point in the banquet, everyone's interest was waning. The palace people came to ask Situ Ce to move and watch the fireworks outside the palace.
People in the Jing Dynasty like to be lively, and fireworks are indispensable during festivals, not to mention that today is the new emperor's enthronement.
Situ Ce, Cheng Hehe and Queen Mother Lu stood at the forefront. Seeing Cui Yunxi being squeezed down the steps, he smiled and called her to his side and stood in front of him.
Cui Yunxi moved closer to him, saying she was afraid of blocking others, but in fact she pushed Cheng Hehe away.
Cheng Hehe raised his eyebrows secretly, glanced at Situ Ce, cursed, and turned to Fu Qingchu, but he didn't know where she was squeezed.
Red stars rise into the night sky one after another, blooming with colorful and bright light, which is dizzying. The sound of fireworks exploding was intertwined with the admiration of everyone, and seemed to be silent, making people feel a kind of tranquility and beauty.
Fu Qingchu looked at Situ Ce from behind the crowd. Under the clearly extinguished fireworks, she finally no longer had to maintain that fake smile.
Even though we know that every man has three wives and four concubines, and an emperor has a harem of three thousand beauties, what woman doesn’t expect a lover who only loves her?
She watched the fireworks with him twice, but never could she stand by his side. Before, she thought there was Cheng Hehe, but now there is Cui Yunxi.
Cheng Hehe has his own destination, but Cui Yunxi regards him as his destination.
What about him?
Fu Qingchu suddenly felt very tired and didn't want to guess.
She looked up at the bright fireworks, tears fell involuntarily, and she smiled to herself. After all, she had grown more affectionate with her children, which was inconsistent with her original intention of being a man. She thought that Situ Ce still overestimated her.
Suddenly, there was a tap on the shoulder. Fu Qingchu was so frightened that in a blink of an eye, he saw a man looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Why is it you?" Fu Qingchu looked at the person and couldn't help shouting, but fortunately the sound of fireworks exploding was covered up.
The man looked at her with a proud look on his face and said with a smile, "Why can't it be me?"
