Chen Qin walked to the top of the city wearing clothes and mourning, and looked at the huge crowd below with infinite emotion.
Who would have thought that a beggar would be on the throne?
Destiny is really ever-changing.
But now is not the time to lament.
He thought about the pain he felt when he was bullied by his boss in his previous life, and he burst into tears in aggrieved words: "Chu Chengshou, you are right. My father... was indeed killed by Wan Mengyan, and he has passed away..."
At this point, Chen Qin cried so hard that he almost fainted. By accident, he almost fell off the city wall.
This realistic scene also frightened everyone.
Wu Jin and Zuo Wende immediately rushed forward and supported Chen Qin.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please take care of yourself..."
"Your Highness, my condolences! Your Highness, please pay attention to your own safety!"
Seeing the third prince like this, the soldiers and civilians under the city were also infected by his filial piety, and burst into tears.
"Third Prince, don't be sad, we support you!"
"Yes, Third Prince, you can rest assured that you are in Zhanfeng City, the Poison Queen will not dare to come here!"
Chen Qin calmed down his breath and continued: "I, the king, cannot personally attend the funeral of my father in the capital. I am a son-in-law... unfilial... I can only worship my father in Zhanfeng City. !”
With that said, Chen Qin knelt on the top of the city again and kowtowed deeply in the direction of the capital in the south.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers and civilians also bowed down together with Chen Qin and kowtowed to the south.
Although these soldiers and civilians had never met the late emperor, they were worried about their future and felt sad after learning about the poisonous queen's deeds.
Then, Chen Qin burst into tears: "My father... was as kind as the ocean to me. He often told me... that after I succeed to the throne, I will be a wise king who loves the country and the people... Now that my father has passed away... I will do my best for you." My father has observed mourning for three years, eating fast and worshiping God every day...Father..."
At this time, Chu Tang rushed over: "Your Highness, no!"
"What's wrong?"
"Your Highness, you must not... sink like this!"
Chen Qin glared angrily: "Why, Chu Chengshou wants to stop me from honoring my father's filial piety?! In vain, my father always told me that you, Chu Tang, are loyal ministers, but you also do unjust things?!"
Chu Tang's eyes also turned red: "No, Your Highness, Wei Chen is loyal to the late emperor. If I can exchange your Majesty's life for your Majesty's life, Wei Chen will jump down from this city! But now is not the time for Your Highness to observe filial piety. ! The Poison Queen and Pseudo-Emperor in the south are still causing trouble in Dayong, how can His Highness sit idly by and ignore it?!"
Chen Qin seemed to be confused by the question: "Chu Chengshou... what is his plan? If I can avenge my father, I am willing to risk my life!"
Chu and Tang immediately kowtowed: "Now the false emperor is still assuming the imperial title, and the poisonous queen is legitimately interfering in the government affairs, and will drag Dayong into the abyss of eternal destruction! I dare you, Your Highness, to ascend the throne now!"
"No! Absolutely not!" Chen Qin waved his hands repeatedly: "Shou of Chu City, you are trying to put me in a place of disloyalty and unfilial piety!!"
Lu Fengnan on the side immediately grabbed Chen Qin's sleeve: "Your Highness! If you don't raise your arms and shout now, how can you guide the loyal ministers in the world?! How can you guide the common people?! Even if Your Highness does not think about yourself, you must also think about the common people! "
Wu Jin also tugged on Chen Qin's sleeves and cried: "Your Highness, if you don't ascend the throne, then Dayong will have the final say based on that false emperor! How can you let us people live!!"
Chen Qin turned his head away: "I will not agree. If I do this, where will my father be?!"
Zuo Wende hugged Chen Qin's legs: "Your Highness, you said that the late emperor has been teaching you how to be a wise king. If you don't follow the teachings of the late emperor, you will have failed the late emperor!"
Chen Qin looked troubled: "You...you...hey. You have hurt me!"
At this time, Chu Tang held a grass ring and knelt down in front of Chen Qin.
"Your Highness, Zhanfeng City does not have the etiquette for you to ascend the throne, nor does it have the gorgeous clothes for you to ascend the throne. But the entire Zhanfeng City is united, and the army and the people are willing to support His Highness to inherit the throne! This simple and unpretentious grass ring is Zhanfeng The city's wishes! Please wear this grass ring and make decisions for the people of Dayong!"
At this time, the soldiers and civilians under the city also knelt down: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne!"
"This..." Chen Qin looked at everyone with a sad face, speechless for a moment.
He sighed deeply: "Since everyone wants me to ascend the throne, I don't want to let you down. Today, in the name of unfilial piety, I ascend the throne here on the top of the city in the presence of the soldiers and civilians of Zhanfeng City!"
As he spoke, he took the grass ring that Chu Tang held high above his head with both hands and put it on his head.
"Wei minister, please pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Kowtow to Your Majesty!"
Chen Qin wept every word, and said sonorously and forcefully: "I am here to promise you that I will love the country and the people, defeat the poisonous queen and the false emperor, and live up to your expectations! The destiny is with me, morality is with me, and the people's hearts are with me. I am We will definitely be able to wipe out the wolves, tigers and leopards, and restore peace to Dayong!"
"I believe that my father's spirit in heaven will definitely protect me and create a prosperous age of Yong Dynasty!!"
The soldiers and civilians below the city shouted: "Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"Everyone, please stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Qin led the crowd to pay homage to the late emperor at the top of the city. He cried until he was exhausted, and then left with the support of everyone.
Chu and Tang temporarily placed Chen Qin in the Chu Mansion to let Chen Qin have a good rest while the dragon robe and golden crown were being made.
Chen Qin was helped to bed by Wu Jin and others, and he kept coughing.
"I...it seems like I cried a little too much. I feel like my throat is sore and my head is a little dizzy..."
Lu Fengnan said: "I am going to find a doctor for Your Majesty."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Your Majesty is serious!"
Lu Fengnan went out and met Wu Jin. Wu Jin muttered, "Your Majesty cried so hard today that I was dumbfounded."
"Old Wu, I see you are howling a lot. Besides, how can the army and the people believe that His Majesty is not working hard? Look at the fact that after Your Majesty ascended the throne today, the army and the people are united and their morale is high. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
"That's true."
Chu Tang returned to the house, followed by Chu Yangwei and Chu Luoling.
Chu Tang took a sip of tea and sighed: "Young and strong young man, he is so energetic. He cried for two hours without stopping. I am an old man who has been unable to cry for a long time. In the end, I could only howl with him, but I was exhausted. Hey, I was not so tired when your grandfathers left."
Chu Yangwei also sighed: "If I hadn't known the cause and effect and looked at the filial son and virtuous grandson he looked like when he cried bitterly, I would have really thought that he was the third prince."
"It doesn't matter if we talk behind closed doors. Don't be disrespectful to him outside. After all, he has already ascended the throne and become the emperor."
"Dad, don't worry, my child is not a dull-minded person."
Chu Luoling walked up behind Chu Tang and slapped Chu Tang on the shoulder: "Dad, you have worked hard."
Chu Tang's face turned cold: "You girl, if you have something to say, don't scare your father here!"
Ever since Chu Luoling could remember, whenever she got into trouble or asked for something from herself, she would change her lively nature and become filial.
Therefore, when Chu Tang saw his daughter like this, his heart immediately tightened.
"My daughter just thinks that dad is working hard and wants you to relax."
"Don't come here! I don't know what you are like, you are a little girl? You are trying to be polite for nothing, but you are either raping or stealing! Tell me quickly, what else do you want?"
Chu Luoling laughed twice and asked, "Dad, when will the marriage between my daughter and His Majesty be held?"
"Ah?" Chu Tang was dumbfounded, not expecting his daughter to ask this question at all.
Chu Yangwei raised his eyebrows at the side: "Sister, my father just died. I almost cried and was buried with him today. You are going to have an affair with me? Is it appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate!" Chu Luoling pouted: "He's not really dead, but he really likes me, and I really like him a little bit. Why can't I marry him as soon as possible?"
Chu Yangwei looked confused: "I know you like him and talk nonsense, but what does he like about you?"
Chu Luoling's face turned red: "He...he is greedy for my body."
