Chapter 255

The second day after the spring rain was a fine day.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, as early as the third watch, all civil and military officials were waiting at the gate of the altar.

The auspicious time had come, and the ceremony of enthronement began.

Sacrificing to heaven is a ritual of sacrificing to Taiyi God. There are three layers of altars, surrounded by green, red, white, black and yellow five emperor altars, killing white deer, pigs and white yaks as sacrifices. Yimao Sanji grass produced in Jianghuai area is used as the God's book, and the five color soil is used to benefit miscellaneous seals. Strange animals and rare birds are placed all over the mountain to show auspiciousness.

The drum, Taihe and flute are playing. The young man standing on the high altar is dressed in a bright yellow robe. The real dragon on his sleeve is ready to fly, but his face is quiet. He holds the imperial seal and his eyes are sharp and deep.

Directly below him, Xiao Shao, an important official of the imperial court, wore an official uniform with red background embroidered with white python, holding the imperial edict of the former Emperor, and issued the imperial edict word by word. The young man is usually silent and indifferent, but now his voice is clear and steady, and every sentence is like an iron strike in people's hearts, like silent support, which makes people tremble.

When the musicians in the palace played, a high official helped the new master of Dajin Dynasty to the throne. The moment he ascended the throne, all the music stopped suddenly. All the officials congratulated him and worshiped the gods. They all cried out: "long live the emperor -"

the young emperor was sitting in a high position, his eyes glancing at the top of the important official hill, which was a kind of arrogance Life's eyes, that is, the courtiers did not look up, but also can feel an unspeakable pressure. Just listen to the young Lang Sheng say: "all Qing flat body -"

the courtiers raise their eyes, the young emperor's delicate face at this moment has completely faded the last point of harmless noble spirit, or the last point of camouflage, appears extremely sharp. It's like the lazy cub finally showed his white teeth, and with a wave of his paw, it was a sharp intention to kill.

It's the pressure of those who are in the top position. It's also the calmness of those who are used to watching big scenes. At this moment, it's the same teenager who shows it. There are many ministers in the courtiers who are still hesitating in their hearts. At this moment, they all think that this young man is a natural king because of his cunning, dogmatism, cruelty, benevolence, and coldness of nature.

It was born to be king.

The Dajin Dynasty ushered in a new master. The young man sat on the throne with a clear voice. However, his voice was deep and solemn, and he was gradually confident. He said: "there is a national code, amnesty to the world -"

"those who follow me prosper, those who rebel against me perish -"

"I am the son of heaven, and I am the world -"

three sentences are sonorous, It's like the apocalyptic motto passed down from the time when heaven and earth were in flood and famine. It reverberates between heaven and earth, and there is no other master in the great Jin Dynasty. This young man is the emperor of the great Jin Dynasty, once the prince of waste, xuanpei!

The Golden Dragon on the corner of the robe almost soars to the sky, but not to the sky. A smile overflows from the young man's lips. The smile is clear and fuzzy, which makes people feel cold. No one can guess the emperor's mind. Standing on the right side of Taifu's face, a trace of complex feelings floated up. This move, in the end, was right. The boy really had the spirit of a real dragon as he thought, but it was deeper than he imagined. But he still didn't regret it. The so-called one or two times in his life, he should live for himself and support Xuan Pei to ascend the throne. That's what he wanted to do.

At the moment when the ceremony was completed, the leader of the bodyguard suddenly rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, no good, your eighth Highness has rebelled with a kind of minister. The general imperial guards have defected. Now they are encircling the capital from outside the city."

The young emperor on the high seat smiles slightly, as if he is not surprised by this. Xuanli did not attend today's ceremony, or it is a fact that everyone knows. As a loser, Xuanli can't watch the throne fall into other people's hands, let alone watch the ceremony complete with his own eyes. Just choose to start at this time, is it impulsive or completely prepared? It's a little reckless.

"The officers and officials of the Dajin Dynasty are now rebellious, and the eight kings of the former imperial dynasty are rebellious. His Royal Highness Prince Hongxi judged the rebellion by his own strength, and did not hesitate to change his body. Now, when I see this scene again, it's time for me to ascend the throne. I am the son of heaven today, and I will fight with you. Take up your weapons, for the sake of the stability and prosperity of the Dajin Dynasty, and drive out the bandits, I will be Dajin! My country is not allowed to be invaded by those who have bad intentions. Whoever covets my country, I will trample on its body. Grand brocade, monopolized by Tianwei

He was not at all flustered by the sudden news, and even raised the morale of civil and military officials by this saying. Prince Hongxi of the former dynasty used metaphors to express the confidence and determination of the young emperor. But even if he was so arrogant, people didn't think that he was talking big. On the contrary, they thought that what the boy said was loud, as if he could do it. So, just a moment later, a general called out and said, "I will defend Dajin land to the death! Follow your majesty to the death

It seems that when the first person spoke, more and more people were affected by this kind of emotion. Their blood was surging out of control, and they knelt down to fight one after another. The cry became louder and louder, and they rushed to the sky. In the end, they could only hear hundreds of men's powerful voices ringing in the altar: "I will follow your majesty to the death!"With a satisfied smile, Xuan Pei slowly stood up. The Golden Dragon on the corner of his robe glared at him, and he said in a steady voice: "fight!"

Fight!

……。

Xuan Pei's speed of accepting people's hearts was much faster than most people expected. This young man not only won the support of the people, but also quickly set up wechat among civil and military officials. It was not long after the ceremony that someone told a secret. It turned out that there was a shop in the Dajin dynasty that was the biggest benevolent and righteous family. Who knows now that xuanpei was the owner behind those shops. Naturally, the common people are grateful for this. It is better to have a benevolent and righteous Emperor than anything else. The emperor still issued the imperial edict to pass on the throne, so naturally, he did not hesitate to favor him. Xuanli's rebellion with his troops was originally a matter of great treason. These days, the people around the capital suffered because of the war. Xuanpei sent people to send things to appease the injured people, which won a lot of popular support for a while.

As for the court hall, there were some old ministers in the court who supported Xuan Pei, and Xuan Pei's life was not too hard. Besides, he also has his own unique way to accept. For those ministers who are still dissatisfied with the idea, the combination of grace and power has also received miraculous results. Moreover, the longer he got along with the new emperor, all the ministers almost felt that Xuan Pei was not like a young emperor who had just ascended the throne. Everything he had done, including the means of dealing with political affairs, was like an experienced official. Even in the face of a difficult situation in front of him, can defuse cleverly. It's like he didn't become emperor for the first time, but for many years. They are so skillful that they don't even need the guidance of the ministers around them. With this understanding, ministers will be taboo three points to the emperor. In this way, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers will be more stable.

What these officials didn't know was that Xuan Pei had died once. In the last life, although he was a waste prince, he had been with Xuanli for many years. He also saw Xuanli's way of doing things. After a lifetime of hard work, he has been planning for today for a long time. Naturally, he is doing very well. But I don't know that my actions fall in front of those ministers, and it becomes the true saying of heaven.

If there is anything special, Xuanli people are more difficult to deal with than they think. Although he knew that he had bribed many people secretly, now all these people have come out, it's still surprising. Among them, there are many senior officials of the two dynasties and ministers of the humerus. Even the people in charge of the imperial army now have half of their troops in Xuanli's hands. It is because of this that they have been deadlocked with Xuan PEI for such a long time. Moreover, their scattered forces are converging. Not only in the capital, but also in many places, chaos is beginning to emerge. Among them, there are still many people from southern Xinjiang, who have been lurking around for a long time, and most of the troops in southern Xinjiang have been quietly transferred. After all, Xuanli made a lot of money this time.

Xuan Pei was sitting in the imperial library, with countless folds piled up on one side. At this time of chaos, he was still thinking about the memorials one by one. At the beginning, Jiang Ruan once said to him that he should not change anything and let it be. As the king of a dynasty, if he was in chaos, the people in the whole court would be in chaos. He is calm, and he also believes that Xuanli will not be able to break this situation. He believes that Xiao Shao is a person who can solve the problem well. The main thing you do is to employ people, not to do things yourself. Now he uses people very well. Xuanli seems to have the upper hand on the surface, but in fact he is inferior.

Now, if Xuan Pei is worried about Jiang Ruan, he has no news about him. This is what xuanpei was worried about. At the beginning, xuanpei knew Jiang Ruan's plan. As Jiang Ruan told Qi Feng, Xuanli would try to use Jiang Ruan to make a deal with Xiao Shao. Now Xuanli has set up the banner of rebellion, and the next step is to use Jiang Ruan to exchange benefits with Xiao Shao. Xuanli wants nothing more than the control of the royal guards. But it's been several days. Why is Xuanli not moving? At this time, it's not just a matter of putting up with others. Every moment is time and life. Xuanli can't wait to make a deal with Xiao Shao. There was almost only one possibility that Jiang Ruan was not in his hands.

Why he didn't have Jiang Ruan in his hands? First of all, it was Jiang Ruan himself who escaped, so Xuanli couldn't find anyone. This is what Jiang Ruan said. She said that she would find a chance to escape. Secondly, it is the fact that Xuan Pei is most reluctant to guess that Jiang Ruan is in danger. He told himself that Jiang Ruan was clever and cunning. She was the only one who calculated other people's share. The most likely thing was that she calculated other people's escape, but she could not help thinking about the worst. Xuan Pei is also worried. If it's not what he thinks, what should he do? If Jiang Ruan really escaped, why didn't he try to contact them? Where is she now?

Xuanpei thought about it, and a kind of melancholy and dryness came into his mind. He suddenly reached for Mingyue standing on one side and said, "what's Xiao Shao doing recently?"

Mingyue replied, "the young master is chasing Yuanchuan."

"Yuanchuan?" Xuanpei frowned and thought that Yuanchuan was the masked man who loved to follow Danzhen, so he said, "what is he chasing Yuanchuan for? Is there a whereabouts of the princess

"No Mingyue patiently replied: "recently, there is a report in the royal guards. Xuanli's people are also chasing Yuanchuan. Yuanchuan is running away. The young master thinks something is wrong. Maybe he can know the turning point of the matter from Yuanchuan, so he has been chasing him." Mingyue is Xiao Shao's person, but xuanpei is also easy to use now. Xiao Shao also told him not to hide from Xuan Pei about Jiang Ruan. Mingyue didn't hide it and told all she knew."Xuanli is also chasing Yuanchuan?" Xuanpei sat up straight, his face became dignified: "why?"

……

The night is like ink. There are two riders galloping along the steep mountain road. One horse and one person in front are obviously in a bit of a panic. They just rush forward with crazy whip, but the other one is much more relaxed. The horse is bright in color, agile and powerful in hooves. It is obviously a good horse.

The man at the back of the horse was dressed in black, almost integrated with the night, but suddenly jumped up, with his toes on the horse's back, and his body flew forward. The man in front knew that it was not good and wanted to turn the horse's head to the other direction immediately. Who knew that the man in the back was flying obliquely in the air. Suddenly, a stone burst out of his hand and dived into the leg of the horse in front of him. The leg of the horse was soft and fell to the ground. The man on the horse's back fell down immediately. The man in black was in front of a man. Before the man could react, a dagger had reached his throat.

"Third brother, wait for me!" Behind him came another slightly noisy sound, followed by a confused sound of horses' hooves, and many people rushed to this side. When they got closer, they were some bodyguards with torches. The first two were not bodyguards. After a closer look, it was mo Cong and Qi Feng.

Mo Cong came forward with a torch in his hand. When he saw the man on the ground, he couldn't help shouting: "third brother, are you sure he is the messenger of Southern Xinjiang? I didn't look like this even though I was wearing a mask, did I? Who is this? Born like a ghost. "

The gray clothes of the man on the ground are already ragged, and his hair is disheveled. The most terrible thing is not his sloppy clothes, but his face is beyond recognition. His face looked as if he had been burned by something, like a half torn wall skin. His skin was mottled, and some of them were still hanging, revealing the naked flesh and blood inside. The most terrible is a scar near the eye, almost the entire orbit are burned. Then look at the whole body, are the same burn marks, it seems that has not been well treated, the whole body has begun to flow out of pus, a walk in is a stench.

"Where is she? Why did Xuanli pursue you? " Xiao Shao ignored Mo Cong's words, and the dagger in Yuan Chuan's throat was not loosened at all. At first, it was the spies of the royal guards who found that Xuanli was chasing and killing a man who looked very much like the emissary of Southern Xinjiang. After telling Xiao Shao, Xiao Shao immediately came to arrest people in person. In fact, it is true that Yuanchuan has been seriously injured. Naturally, there is no lack of Xuanli's hands. If he had not been seriously injured, with Yuan Chuan's cunning nature, he might not have been so easily caught by Xiao Shao. Nevertheless, there are still many doubts. Nanjiang and Xuanli have always been allies. How could Xuanli suddenly kill his own people. If the alliance broke down, but did not see Xuanli chase Qiman, and also for a long time no one saw Dan really trace.

Yuanchuan must know where Jiang Ruan was, because it was the people of Southern Xinjiang who took him away at first. Xuanli didn't dare to come out in person. He was always guarded by people from southern Xinjiang. Now that Yuanchuan is being hunted down, will it have something to do with Jiang Ruan.

When Yuanchuan heard the words, he sneered and said, "Lord Xiao, do you want to know why Xuanli is chasing me? Do you really want to know? "

"Don't talk nonsense," Mo Cong interrupted Yuanchuan before he finished saying, "hand over the whereabouts of my third sister-in-law. I'll make sure you die happily. If you don't say it, hum

"I didn't want to live." Yuan Chuan looks up at Xiao Shao who is staring at him coldly. In the light of the fire, Xiao Shao's face is very beautiful, but he is very cold. Yuan Chuan can't help but think of Dan Zhen's infatuation with this man, but this man has only Jiang Ruan's vicious woman. His heart suddenly gave birth to a resentment, then almost provocative smile: "Lord Xiao must know, I naturally only tell the truth. Lord Xiao should know that Xuanli has always wanted to use the princess to do a business with him, but I ruined the business. Do you know why? " He grinned, his muscles touching the scars, and he looked more like a ghost: "because I killed her. That woman died, Xuan Li lost a bargaining chip that he could talk with you, so he wanted to pursue me. "

As soon as his voice fell, he felt that the dagger in his throat was advancing one inch. A cool liquid came out of his throat. He closed his eyes, but felt that the dagger was not moving forward. Xiao Shao's cold voice sounded in his ear: "you are lying."

Qi Feng and Mo Cong are relieved. They are afraid that Xiao Shao will stab yuan Chuan to death. If there is anything that can make Xiao Shao emotionally unstable, it is only Jiang Ruan. Anyone who hears such a curse on his wife will not feel well, not to mention Xiao Shao. Mo Cong said angrily, "what are you talking about? You think my third brother will believe your story? What can you do to kill my third sister-in-law? I'm afraid you can't touch my third sister-in-law's little finger. It's ridiculous

Yuan Chuan suddenly burst out laughing. His mouth was full of blood. Looking at Xiao Shao, he bit his teeth and said, "what's the point? Not only did I kill her, I killed the bastard in her stomach! "
