The imperial city within the Chaotian Gate, is the grand and magnificent palace courtyard, crystal white jade stone pavement, everywhere carved dragons, carving Pi, people walking in which, as if ants as small, thousands of golden helmets and golden armor of the forbidden guards are strictly patrolling!
A mile in front of the inner city river, the river has nine jade arch bridge, densely packed noble civil officials car horses, military demon war horse all stopped at the outer bridge, look around in order.
Walking across the bridge, ten feet is the Zhentian Palace door, there is a road on the obvious traces of repair, it is rumored to be the year on the emperor and Emperor Yang had a dispute between the indignation of the shot, the palace people know very little, but those who know are all secretive!
After the Zhentian Palace is the royal family held a celebration, the crown prince coronation, the new emperor ascended the throne of Taiji Palace Hall.
At this time the entire palace is dressed up in joyful and luxurious, the front yard Fushan, Luk silver, longevity jade and exotic treasures piled up into a mountain, flowers, longevity words flying all over the sky, the Ministry of household officials are anxiously sorting out, transcription.
As for the outer courtyard to the inner hall, more than 10,000 people entered the banquet, and the outer courtyard was the meritorious knighthoods, clan masters, officials of the fifth rank and above, and generals.
The inner hall was the royal family, the descendants, princes and nobles, princesses, extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, marquises, the nine ministers of the three ministries and foreign envoys and so on more than a thousand people.
Five thousand palace maids and eunuchs shuttled between the outer courtyard and the inner hall to keep busy.
Today is the “great change in the world” after the Great Zhou Empire, the most important, the most grand ceremony, although the virtual age of seven years of age of the little son of heaven’s seven years to go to the yellow tail, but the actual symbolic significance of the greater, can be said to be the eyes of the whole country!
It is said that after this feast, the pattern of the empire will usher in a great change, therefore, all people are playing up the spirit of twelve points.
At this time in the hall, princes and nobles, princesses, son-in-laws, six nine ministers, noblewomen, young lady, male, in the nine whips ringing, only seven years old, but the body long, tough face of the little son of heaven His Majesty wearing nine dragons with twelve tasseled crown, with a phoenix hairpin and nine phoenix robes, the elegant, the color of the country, more or less with a little bit of charm Empress, in the eunuchs flanked by the temple, sat on the dragon chair.
All eyes in the temple with the small son of heaven’s footsteps and move, although the son of heaven is still young, the two empress dowager is not in, the empress dowager is seriously ill, but no one dares to underestimate the bully master.
The son of heaven is less resourceful, talented and dignified, the words are true, the actions will be fruitful, is recognized by the dynasty and the field, the key to His Majesty’s young age, but do not smile, dignified and solemn, the dynasty and the field of affairs, one should know, can be called a child prodigy!
Anyone would not dare to treat him as a child!
Even if the Prime Minister’s human rights pouring field, the Empress family in charge of military power, set up loyal but do not dare to do, the little son of God, although reading, martial arts practice is too busy, young energy is limited, but more than five officials, can still be a force to protect.
The people, the dynasty and the countryside are called the little Mingjun.
Many people found that the character of the son of God is not quite like his father, the first emperor is not like his uncle, Emperor Yang, but like the King of Qin and the later Emperor Taishang a little more.
At this time to see the son of heaven took his seat, the whole palace princes, nobles, royal family with their families and bowed: “Long live the emperor, long live ten thousand years old!”
Then is the outer courtyard nearly ten thousand people shouted long live.
The son of heaven Ji Yu silent for a moment, coldly scanning the side of the queen, the original self-complacent arrogant young girl queen slightly frowned, bowed, his boyish face this with a trace of disdain, with a clear juvenile voice, said steadily: “all the ministers, destined to the royal family, princes and other ministers of the flat, take a seat!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Only then did everyone get up and take their seats, looking towards the emperor, who they knew must say a few words.
Who expected that the young emperor did not say some condescending words, just looked to the other side, the first of the civil officials, a white hair, tall physique, not angry and authoritative old man: “Prime Minister on behalf of me to say ……”
Prime Minister Li Shentong smiled, looked at the princes and ministers, first said some scene in a loud voice, and finally the words turned:”…… for the Empress Dowager to celebrate, for His Majesty to celebrate ……”
Finally took his seat.
The big eunuch shouted to start the banquet, the sound of music, dozens of court singers dance, fruits and vegetables, wine, meat and mountain treasures in a row.
The son of heaven first move chopsticks, the rest of the people then move chopsticks, and then the atmosphere slowly lively.
Wang Tian, the son of Marquis Sacrificial Yang, who traveled on the same road as Xin Zhuo, sat beside his father, and after a careful beating, his appearance was quite decent, looking around, he laughed at a thin youth from a public vassal’s family, “It’s really bustling, the entire imperial capital’s bigwigs and young ladies are all here!”
“Not only!” That thin man squeezed his eyebrows, “The experts and elders of the Peace Palace, Saffron, Divine Hidden and Tian Ji have also arrived, see the girls with straight bodies over there?”
“Aren’t those Shui Qingliu and Zhuge Skirt from Taiping Palace? I recognize them!”
Wang Tian lowered his voice, “Those pure martial artists of the sect are too far away from us, we’re afraid that we can’t catch up, let’s talk about those golden girls…
Over there, Murong Yunxi, the Minister of the Qin Tian Supervisor, and Li Shiyue, the Minister of the Feng Jian Division, over there, they’re beautiful!”
The thin man laughed strangely and said: “There is also Ling Jun Yao, Ning Zhi Wei, Jin Wang County, Heng Wang County, which is not the color of the country, but it is a pity that Ning Zhi Wei, the old master of the family’s daughter, to marry Li Qiu Shui that rude guy.
There is also over there, the prime minister adult’s thousand gold Li Mu brother, sixteen years old, beautiful ah, there is also the son of heaven’s aunt Princess Wuyou, ten or so years old, has already fallen out of the ……”
Wang Tian sighed with emotion: “When can I be famous in Great Zhou, making the dynasty and the countryside look sideways, and my name will go down in history, and the four directions of beautiful women will look at me differently?”
“Who doesn’t want to?” The thin man let out a bitter smile, “How difficult ah, the land of the capital which does not have the dream of soaring to the sky and swaying the dynasty?”
The two whispered, and was named by the two a group of women silently eating the imperial banquet, actually did the ear to watch the nose and nose to watch the heart.
As if knowing that something big is going to happen.
Sure enough, Prime Minister Li Shentong raised his wine cup at this moment, and toasted to the person at the head of the military officials across the street, a middle-aged man with a superb temperament and gray hair at the temples.
This person’s name is Su Wuji, a veteran of the four dynasties, the county king of Nanli and the king of Nanli in those years, and nowadays the king of Qin of the Great Pillar State, the only non-descendant king of a different surname who is in charge of 200,000 Qin troops.
The only one in the court who dared to break bread with the prime minister was this man!
The people in the hall couldn’t help but look at the two in unison, including the Son of Heaven and the Empress at the top.
Su Wuji was silent at first, then he smiled faintly and raised his cup to “touch” with the Prime Minister from a distance.
The two top ministers of civil and military affairs shared a drink!
The civil and military ministers who had been hanging on to their hearts were relieved.
However, Prime Minister Li Shentong suddenly put down his wine cup and, bowing to the emperor, said: ‘Your Majesty, I have been considering the auspicious title bestowed upon Emperor Ji for the moon celebration, and the posthumous title for the previous emperor. I fear that the chosen titles may not be entirely appropriate…’
Before waiting for the prime minister to finish, the little emperor coldly said: “Permission!”
Li Shentong was stunned for a moment, once again said: “And that one ……”
Xiao Tian Zi interrupted again, with an unquestionable tone: “Not allowed to say!”
It seemed to already know what the Prime Minister was going to say.
The people in the entire hall also seemed to know what the prime minister was going to say, that person ……
Li Shentong frowned, looked at the ministers and princes in all directions, gritted his teeth and still want to insist, just to see a figure suddenly broke into the hall, “plop” kneeling on the ground, prostrate forward. This person wearing the forbidden army armor, just a humble general, according to reason he is not qualified to enter the hall.
“Eh?”
Lord Prime Minister frowned, “Why are you so ignorant of the rules? King Jin, how did you become a great general of the forbidden army?”
A square-faced, king-robed middle-aged man immediately rose and angrily rebuked, “Zhang Wei, what do you want here without guarding the palace city?”
That Benefactor General remained prostrate on the ground, only holding a jade pendant in both hands, a little bit forward, hissing hoarsely : “There is a young man outside, asking the standard to present this to His Majesty!”
“Asshole!”
King Jin angrily said: “Who can present something directly to His Majesty? If you really don’t know the rules, do you still want your head?”
The general still moved forward, trembling.
The pupils of the clan’s experts contracted, and the Taiping Palace’s Jian Jiucheng said in a loud voice: “This person has already been shocked, so he can only act according to his orders!”
Prime Minister Li Shentong’s face changed slightly, waving his sleeve: “Come on, blast it down, send someone to check on that young man!”
A few great Han generals outside the hall immediately entered the hall.
“Wait!”
The little prince of heaven above suddenly got up, his eyes slightly straight, his complexion strange, nervous and fearful all at once.
The thousands of people in the hall couldn’t help but look curiously at the Son of Heaven.
Only to see the Little Son of Heaven suddenly carry his dragon robe and run down the tall dragon chair and the social ladder.
The Empress Mother’s face changed as she ran down after him.
“Your Majesty, the Empress ……”
The big eunuchs and palace maids’ faces changed greatly and they also followed and ran down.
The Son of Heaven has now arrived in front of that Benefactor, staring at the jade pendant dead on, breathing heavily, slowly reaching out his hand, trembling terribly, fiercely grasping the jade pendant, his eyes gradually reddening, choking: “Where is the person?”
Benefactor stammered back: “Back to your majesty, in, outside the palace gate!”
“Oooh ……”
The Son of Heaven suddenly bawled without warning and staggered to the outside of the great hall.
The people in the hall were instantly confused, the son of heaven had grown up strict and unsmiling, and at a young age, he was quite majestic and adult-like, who had ever seen such a side of him?
Seeing the emperor running away, only then did they react, and all of a sudden they rose up, “clattering” and chased after him, shouting in fear: “Your Majesty!
“Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty!”
……
The Son of Heaven had already run out of the great hall, and when the tens of thousands of people outside in the blackness saw it, they were galvanized and rose in unison to pay homage: “Your Majesty!”
There were even officials with tears in their eyes, choking back tears: “Your Majesty is considerate of your subjects and has come out to make a toast! How can I be so virtuous?”
However, the little emperor did not stop, drank away the people who surrounded him, and went straight to the Zhentian Palace in front of him with tearful eyes.
The tens of thousands of people in the outer court were confused, and when they saw the princes and nine ministers in the inner court chasing after them, they hurriedly followed them.
Inside the huge imperial city, an extremely comical scene was staged–
The emperor was running in front, the empress was right behind him, and then behind them were more than 10,000 princes, ministers, and officials of the fifth rank and above.
These people could be considered the backbone and power holders of the Great Zhou, and now they were running wildly in the snow.
“Wooo……”
The more the emperor cried, the more he cried, his footsteps became more and more staggered, even his imperial robes tore apart, and he finally exited the Zhentian Palace, reached the inner courtyard of the palace, and went straight to the Chaotian Gate.
Before even reaching the palace gate, he angrily rebuked a group of guards guarding the gate: “Assholes, kneel down! Kneel down through and through! Otherwise, I will kill your whole family and exterminate your nine clans.”
Uncertainty of the forbidden guards hastily knelt on the ground.
The Son of Heaven broke out of the palace gates, looking ahead with shortness of breath and tears.
Only to see that in the heavy snow, a man and a dog were already drenched in snow.
The little emperor suddenly stopped timidly and silently looked at the one man and one dog, seemingly remembering something, with more and more tears in his eyes.
Then, with a glance of his mouth, he pounced over: “Imperial father!”
“Plop” fell on the snow, whimpering and crying, no longer a little son of heaven temperament, just like an ordinary child.
Xin Zhuo silently looked at him, his heart is full of emotion, fortunately, remember yourself, in a way, in addition to the dead Jiang Zichong, only himself and him, face a smile, squatting down, picked him up, patting the snow on his body.
But good, the little emperor’s dragon robe fell off, revealing the snow-white dragon inside.
Xin Zhuo smiled even more, reached out and flicked his hand: “Your kid’s noble geng ah, over a big birthday?”
“?”
Behind them, tens of thousands of princes, nobles, ladies, and clan experts finally chased out, and happened to see this scene, and for a moment, they were shocked beyond words!
The Nine to Five of the Empire, His Majesty the Emperor, was being held in his arms as a child and treated in such a manner?
